“This,” I stated, using one hand to pull the bottom of my dress up and out of the way as I pulled his cock from his pants with the other. I had to be decisive and quick—there wasn’t time to waste if I wanted to keep the others from coming to look for us.
His tongue trailed along my neck before kissing it and murmuring, “You know you’re going to have to be quiet. Otherwise they’ll hear you next door.”
I hadn’t considered that at all, which was stupid of me. Weallhad heightened hearing, and the distance between the rooms wasn’t very far. Was I a complete degenerate for the way my pussy became slick with the thought of Kolvar and Elijah hearing us?
“Mhm,” I murmured, pressing my neck more insistently against his mouth, making it clear what I wanted him to do.
With my dress out of the way, I moved my underwear to the side as I lined the tip of him up with me, sinking down inch by inch. He wasted no time biting into my neck, lighting up all the nerves in my body.
“Hell,” I hissed as I pressed down with my hips until I’d taken all of him in.
He groaned in response and thrusted his hips up, pulling a light moan from me. My eyes widened as I remembered the others and clamped my mouth shut. Fuck, it would be near impossible to stay quiet.
A deep chuckle vibrated from his chest, as if he knew exactly what was going through my head. He thrusted his hips once more, and my eyes rolled back as I bit down on my lip to stay quiet. The sensation was both mindandbody consuming. It was like the gates of euphoria opened and my body was on fire, being stoked higher with each pull on my neck and thrust of his cock.
Finding a rhythm that matched his thrusts, I met him with each downward roll of my hips. We increased our pace, and I gripped the back of the chaise for support, digging my fingers into the lush material. The material ripped under my straining grasp, but I couldn’t bring myself to care. Since I didn’t dare break my silence, I had to take my muted energy out somewhere else.Sorry, chaise.
Dakath pulled his head back, and I couldn’t help the soft whine that came from me. He grinned up at me, mouth bloody as hell. I was captivated as I watched him reach up to brush his thumb against his lips before snaking his hand between our bodies. As his fingers brushed over my clit, I clamped my hand over my mouth to muffle the cry of pleasure coursing through me.
How had I forgotten about the enhanced pleasure that came from the use of blood?
Sinking his fangs back into my neck, all it took was a few more minutes of the heated, intense moment for me to shatter around him. My body sagged forward, and his arms wrapped around me as he thrusted one more time before stilling inside of me.
Our breathing was heavy, and he licked the wound on my neck before admitting, “I was not expecting that, Ky. You keep me on my toes.”
I couldn’t help but laugh. The last thing I would ever describe myself as was adventurous, or spontaneous, but being in this new home with these men…I was finding myself learning more and more about who I was with each passing day.
Pressing a quick kiss to his forehead, I murmured, “We need to clean up and get back. I’m sure they’ll come looking for us soon if we don’t.”
Jerking his head back, he said, “There should be some small cloths and a basin back there.”
Pushing off of him, I moved to where he indicated to find a little station, stocked and waiting in a corner. “What type of room is this?”
I glanced back at him as he tucked himself away and straightened his outfit, quirking an eyebrow when he finally answered nonchalantly. “A feeding room for vampyres and humans when they want to drink straight from the source. Feeding is a completely consensual act here, and the room allows privacy for guests if they aren’t staying long but still need to feed.”
It made sense, but I found myself distracted with the thought of my men. Now that Dakath mentioned only wanting to drink from me, I couldn’t deny that a part of me existed that wanted Kolvar and Elijah to do the same. I wanted them to myself, and the thought of them in this room at any point with anyone other than me made my blood burn with jealousy.
I was becoming just territorial and protective of them as they were of me. I’d almost said I’d love him, which left me feeling somewhat uneasy. Unless I was willing to be woman enough to face my feelings and accept them, my life had officially just become a hell of a lot more complicated.
After we cleaned up and headed back to the main room, Myrin sent me a knowing smirk as she asked, “Forgot your cup, dear. Still thirsty?”
Shit, I’d left the goblet in the feeding room. Leave it to her to notice such a minor detail despite having been in conversation when I’d given my explanation and left. I supposed an Empress was always watching and listening, even when it seemed like she wasn't.
I had a hell of a lot to learn from her.
Chapter Thirteen
Kolvar
If I woke up next to Kyella every single day for the rest of my life, I would have nothing to complain about. She made each day brighter and full of the vibrancy that I had been missing. Ever since my parents passed away, my world had dulled slightly, despite knowing that was inevitable with the path I had chosen to take. I hadn’t realized how much it impacted me until Kyella brought the warmth back into my heart.
A simple thought buzzed through my head most of the morning: how thankful I was for her. When I woke up and found her curled up against me, the other two having already gotten up for the day, I hadn’t been able to find it in me to move out of bed or wake her up. Instead, I’d watched the steady pattern of her relaxed breathing and studied the peaceful expression on her face, reminding me that she was okay—truly here.
The most beautiful moment, though, came when she opened her eyes. Those stunning gold orbs instantly lit with happiness at seeing me, and her plush lips parted in a gorgeous smile. I wantedthatevery single morning. I wanted to bring her that level of happiness forever. I wanted to ensure that shealwaysfelt the type of peace and security that brought out that expression—no matter what I had to do.
And now that we were at breakfast, I found myself captivated watching her interact with Tristan’s wife and daughter. Kyella possessed so many amazing qualities, but her compassion and kindness were the two glowing beacons that stood out to me.
“I’m not sure what we’re planning to do today,” Kyella’s voice suddenly drew me into the conversation as she glanced over at me. “Maybe we’ll go into town?”
