Sterling knelt on the mattress and carefully laid me down to rest on Corry’s chest. “Be gentle. She’s tired, and the next two days are going to be eventful. She’ll need her strength.”
I lifted my head to find Corry looking at me with that panty-melting grin of his. “If you’re too tired, Red—fuck!”
Before he could finish the sentence, I gave my answer. With a kick of my hips, I rammed myself down on his dick.
My body felt alive, taking the youngblood’s cock.
It was so heavy, stretching me in ways I’d only fantasized about a few months ago.
It was a mind fuck to think how quickly things had changed for me. I wasn’t that naive girl anymore, convinced she had a heart condition, ready to eat up that and all the other lies that had been fed to me.
I was the vampire princess. And soon, I’d be queen.
I’d questioned my ability to rule the throne before, but now that I’d managed to claim the hearts of these four feral men, I knew I could damn near conquer anything.
When the bed dipped further with more weight, my train of thought was pulled back to the heat of the moment. I craned my neck to see Eros positioning himself behind me. His hands guided me forward, sandwiching me tightly between their chests and his cock sunk into my ass.
Corry and Eros. My God. They were a dream team together. Fucking me senseless in perfect synchronicity, with no end to their stamina.
I came once, twice, three freaking times. After that, I lost count, and from that point, I was sure they were making a game out of it.
Corry came first, his jaw flexing as his head collapsed into Vincent’s pillow. Eros finished in my ass several beats later. His brow fell to the valley between my shoulder, huffing with his final bursts of cum, “Fuck me raw. I never want to leave this hole. Ster, don’t make me.”
“She can’t fight the vampire king with you lodged in her ass, Deathwish,” Sterling said, with a dark bend to his silken cadence.
Eros climbed off me with a grumble, and Corry passed me to Vincent as he climbed into bed. Sterling and Eros sat at the foot of the mattress while Cor and Vin held me between them.
The five of us stayed like that a while longer. I allowed my mind to wander on things that I knew I wouldn’t have time to think about in the coming days. Like bike rides through the cape on the freshly painted Ninja Corry had gifted me, exploring the chaos that was Sterling’s library while he played me a tune on his piano, and doing human girl things with Kenzie during the day like clothes shopping or going to the bookstore.
As I imagined the happiest parts of my future life, I realized my fingers had found the pendant Vincent gifted me, and I was twisting it on its chain until it pinched the fresh mark on my throat.
Ever since the fae had presented me with his family heirloom, I’d been dying to use it to track down my mother.
“I’ve made my decision.”
The guys all looked at me, waiting for me to make the ultimate decision of how we were going to spend the precious time we had left preparing for Daddy-Dearest’s homecoming.
“We’re going to track down Sapphire Lockheart.”
It was weird to have a magical fae needle dangling from my neck, with a trail of blood straight out the windshield. What was weirder was that the streets where it led us to were beginning to look familiar.
Eros was driving, with Corry in the passenger seat, and I sat sandwiched between Vin and Ster in the back. Corry passed his hand through the blood thread for what had to be the hundredth time. He seemed to take notice of the streets at the same time I did. We both watched a familiar pharmacy pass by the window.
“We’re in Quincy.”
The blood in my veins turned to ash as I looked out the window to the house where the blood thread had led us.
It looked like your average, unassuming suburban home on a quiet residential street.
That was the problem because that’s exactly what it was; a normal, familiar suburban home that I was all too familiar with.
A house I thought I’d never see again.
The blood thread passed through the car door, ran up the walkway and right through the front door.
Sterling and Eros didn’t seem the least bit perturbed. Sterling because he couldn’t see where we were and Eros because he’d never laid eyes on the place.
But Corry and Vincent exchanged uneasy looks. They knew exactly where we were because they’d been here before.
