CHAPTER TWENTY SIX
BLEDDYN
“Beth?” She did not answer. Dread gripped my throat like the old hag in the meadow behind the tavern.
“What have you done? Is she…” I could not name my biggest fear. Emaciated limbs and terror-wide eyes of incubus victims floated before my eyes, overlaying the image of the insensate woman on the bed.
Daeary laughed softly. “No, Bleddyn. She passed out from the pleasure, but I have not finished inside of her. I have taken very little energy, but my hold on my craving is tenuous. I must find release very soon, or I will damage her.”
He rolled to his side, giving me time to get out of the way. Then he placed Beth gently on her back. As Daeary stroked through her hair and kissed her cheek, she tiredly opened her eyes and smiled.
“That was incredible. I had the strangest dream Bleddyn had joined in.”
Daeary chuckled, brushing his lips over hers. “He did, my lamb, and it was no dream.”
Lifting her head, she looked straight at me. “Oh, crap.”
I was taken aback. Why was she swearing at me when I had just given her such pleasure?
Daeary kissed her again. “Don’t be angry, little human. You may not like him right now. But we need him. Otherwise, I might hurt you, and that is the last thing on my mind.”
Her gaze softened as she listened to him. I felt like an outsider, like someone who did not understand the rules. Why was she so mad at me? This was a conversation we needed to have. But maybe not right now.
The demon had deepened his kiss. He held her jaw in his hand, turning her the way he wanted to, his tongue slipping in and out of Beth’s mouth.
I sat back on my haunches. My cock, not abating at the slightest, hung heavy between my legs.
Beth put one leg up, exposing her lower lips once more. Daeary tore himself away from her mouth and said, “Why do you not pleasure her for a while?”
He did not have to ask me twice. I scooted closer until the head of my cock kissed her folds. “May I fuck you, little human?”
Despite Daeary’s suggestion, I would never feel comfortable until Beth herself gave me permission. Her gaze was unfocused, yet her voice was clear and her words stark.
“Do it already, you stupid elf.”
I gritted my teeth at the insult, grabbed her hips, and pulled her out of Daeary’s grasp, straight onto my cock. “I. Am. Not. An. Elf.”
She gasped, her mouth wide open, as I forced her to take me. I was not as big as the demon cock, but my girth stretched her nicely. Waiting until she relaxed around the intrusion, I held on without daring to respire. One more stimulus, and it would be all over. My cock pulsed against her velvet grip, and my hands trembled.
My breath would not be denied. It forced itself into my throat and broke the spell. Pulling slowly out of her, I drank in her gasp and treasured her groan when I slipped back inside. Neither of us would last long, that much was obvious.
I pulled back and pushed in over and over again. She only got wetter, and that telltale blush spreading from her face to her chest told me it would be over far too soon.
Daeary lay on his side, his head supported on his arm, playing idly with his cock. I kept glancing at the beast between his legs. Earlier, I had only caught a glimpse.
Eyeing the demon’s monster, I was torn between craving the feeling of it down my throat and the certainty that it would split me in two if I ever tried. The thought distracted me enough to hold on longer, but when Beth’s entrance spasmed and fluttered around me, it was all over.
She threw her head back and screamed my name as my balls contracted. My seed shot from my body into hers, bonding us as mates, even if she did not know it yet.
I collapsed over her, my mouth ending up next to her neck. Licking her skin, her pulse fluttered like a baby bird. It made my chest ache.
Daeary didn’t give us long to recover. He pushed hard against my shoulder, and I had to put one foot out to avoid falling off the low bed.
“Sorry,” he mumbled. “I am starving for both of you.”
He leapt off the mattress and maneuvered Beth into position. Then he grabbed my hand and pulled me next to her. Standing over us, the fiend inside of him burst out of his eyes. The flames flickered high and bright, and his hair swayed of its own volition. He had never looked more deadly, nor more enticing.
Maybe later, if I survived the coming minutes, I would examine my feelings for him. One minute, I hated him for what he was and what he had inflicted on his victims. The next, I could not wait to suck his cock.
Beth had her head turned toward the wall, her chest rising evenly as she slept. Whatever he had done to her, he had not damaged her, just as he had promised.
My body trembled, knowing what was to come before my brain could catch up with it. The fire leapt from Daeary’s eyes and licked against my skin. Shocked, I stared at the flickering flames, leaping as if they were little demons themselves. The intense bite where they touched traveled into my blood, through my chest, into my belly, into my cock, leaving a burning trail of lust.
I had thought I was done, but I could not have been more wrong. My manhood grew bigger than ever before. It bordered on the painful, and I stammered, “Demon. What are you doing to me?”
Daeary got on the mattress, crawling toward me like a beast of prey. “Oh, you will thank me when I’m done. Prepare yourself, my warrior.”
Then he lowered his head and swallowed me down. I could feel myself hit the back of his throat, and then disappearing down his neck, the tightness squeezing me, massaging me. He pulled back, swirling his tongue around my glands, and swallowing me down again.
I could not keep up with what was happening to me. A low grown from next to me made me turn my head. Beth was back with us. Her wide eyes traveling along my body to where Daeary was sucking hard.
“Oh my god,” she whispered.
We might pray to different deities, but I understood her sentiment. Daeary bit me gently, the slight sting pulling my attention back to what he was doing to me.
His flames traveled up and down my skin, jumping over to Beth. She yelped, and her eyes rolled back inside her skull. A few breathless gasps later, and her lips were pressed against mine, her tongue pushing into my mouth.
I rumbled deep inside my throat, feeling her tongue rub against mine. The velvety softness pushed me as high as Daeary’s expert sucking below. His hand squeezed my balls and then traveled the short distance to my dark entrance. When the hell demon pushed a finger inside, it was all over.
I shouted hoarsely as my seed shot down Daeary’s throat. Beth’s hand moved rapidly between her legs, and I kissed her, swallowing her groans. My hands gripped Daeary’s hair, not caring if he was bald by the end. The heat of his flames grew until it enveloped all of us, still licking at our skin, but not burning. Not taking more that we were willing to give.
I vaguely realized Daeary pulling away from me, pushing himself up onto his knees, and spraying his demon seed over us, anointing us, claiming us. Then he fell on top of us, and we embraced, temporarily suspended in a state of lust and good will toward each other.
I didn’t know how long this would last, but I was happy to accept it for the moment. Living in this realm was hard, and sometimes brutally cut short. But right here and now, I was happy.
