“That isn’t something we do, Ember. That’s your human mindset. I want my mate, not her host, tonight. Claim me and then drain me until I’m fucking dripping out of your cunt until you return to me,” he growled.
Blinking slowly, I licked his throat before leaning back to glare down at him. I purred, feeling his balls tighten as a warning burned in his gaze. His hands unfolded from behind his head, gripped my hips painfully, and lifted me off him.
Before I could snarl my protest, he had rolled us, spread my legs wide, and unleashed hell on my pussy. The orgasm ripped through me without warning, and he purred his approval, feeling my sleek channel pulse around him. He thrust deeper, filling me until he’d forced his way into the one place he’d wanted to be.
“Now you may purr and drain me, wanton creature,” he hissed hungrily.
One hand held my ass in place while the other slid to the swollen nub of my sex, rubbing small circles against my clit. I moaned, moving in sync with him while we became lost in the sensations and pleasure. Aria whimpered and struggled to force her way to the surface, but I slammed her back, holding her there until I felt her relenting. Relief rushed through me, knowing the next part could be worse and she didn’t need to be aware. If Lennox did what we both desired, he’d begin biting us until our shoulders, breasts, and thighs all carried his mark of ownership. Aria’s shock rushed through me, but it was too late, and she sank deeper into oblivion.
The orgasm started in my toes and unraveled up to my pussy. I screamed. Pleasure swallowed me, forcing blinding lights to burst behind my eyes. Lennox rattled as he pumped into my cunt, draining himself while I milked his shaft with my walls.
His mouth lowered, biting my breasts, sides, and throat brutally as he claimed and marked me. Lennox slowly licked, and kissed the wounds he’d made before he made a loud, delicious sound of pleasure. He braced a hand on the bed beside my head and he peered down, knowing I was clamping onto his shaft, holding him within me.
“Perfect,” he growled, placing a soft kiss against my forehead. “Thank you for this, Ember.”
I purred, needing and wanting more, but I’d already drained his balls until I was flooded with his come. Oceanic-blue eyes stared into mine, and I frowned as Lennox gave Knox control without even saying goodbye.
Silently, he stared at me before lowering his lips, claiming my mouth in a soft kiss that made me whine. When he pulled away, I smiled at the look of pleasure on his face.
“I’ll kiss you whenever you want, Ember,” he stated, slowly withdrawing from my body and settling next to me. “Aria will not be thrilled with what you did just now.”
“We all want the same thing, even if some of us are too stubborn to admit it. She intends to be around others like us, and we’re mated, Knox. It is in our best interest to be sated and filled before we enter that realm.”
“I see, but you wear my mark. You know who you belong to, and no one will take you from me. No one, Ember. She’s mine, and I’m not giving her up again. Do you understand?”
“You keep allowing Aria to run from you. I don’t like it.” He smiled, and it had anger rushing through my belly.
“I’ve come to understand that Aria cannot be owned. She has to choose to be mine. I am giving her that choice. Do you hear me, woman?”
“She actually isn’t aware anymore. She passed out when I refused to get off Lennox’s dick.” I snorted. “Maybe you’re not that dumb, Dicker. I didn’t think you’d ever understand her, but I think you’re starting to.”
“Don’t misunderstand me, Ember. If Aria endangers her life or becomes pregnant, I’ll come for her. I will make her life utter hell to ensure she’s safe from those hunting her and my enemies. I protect what belongs to me. If she takes too long to figure that out, I can’t promise I won’t toss her onto my bed and chain her sexy ass down, either. Aria is my mate, and I’m done fighting against the desire to be with her.”
“Yet you allowed them to remove the vows she made to you?” I accused, his smile never wavering.
“They were irrelevant. The four of us? We know the truth of what we are to one another. In our culture, vows hold no meaning. We have our own, and once they’re exchanged, they’re forever. They mean more than any wedding ceremony or words can mean to creatures like us.”
“If that’s the case, then tell us what you are,” I demanded before turning inward. “We need to go before the castle wakes,” I stated, prodding Aria awake.
Chapter Fifty-Six
Aria
“I’m not like you, LittleMonster, if that is what you’re thinking. You’re so much more than I thought you were,” Knox whispered, watching me batting my eyelashes at him.
“What?” I managed to ask before flinching and drifting away from him. “My vagina’s broken. It aches.”
He chuckled, yanking me back down against his warmth. “You’re leaving me again, my pretty unicorn girl. Aren’t you, Aria?”
“I’m not a unicorn.”
“Name one other woman who has ever waged battle in a unicorn raincoat and made it look sexy as fuck. Go ahead, name them, Aria.”
I shook my head as warmth washed through me and was swept away before I’d gotten to enjoy the sensation. This was something I had to do, and I wouldn’t stop it for him or anyone else. It couldn’t be put off or postponed any longer.
“I have to do this, Knox. I have to know who he is and what I am.” I swallowed past the lump forming in my throat. “Did we . . . did we just try to create more babes?” I hated the idea of losing more in this war-torn world I’d trapped us within.
“Yes, they did,” he confessed, pushing the hair away from my face. “If they were successful, we’ll know in a couple of months if the pregnancy is viable. If you are pregnant, I’ll come for you, Aria. I’ll keep you safe and help protect our child. I won’t care if you run. I will catch you, and even if you hate me for it, you’d be safe from our enemies. I’ll not lose you or another child to this war. We’ve both lost enough to it already.”
