Page 59 of Dark Fae's Destiny

“Letting go, into the darkness,” Quinn says as he regards Lucca frankly. “Letting all your wildest fantasies come out about the things you want to do with us. For this, you’ll need to forget being the white knight, Lucca, and descend into your darkest side… do you think you can do that?”

“I think I have to, if it’ll give us a chance.” Lucca swallows, his gaze searing, his voice rough.

“Good.” Quinn is decisive as he gazes around us now, through the barrier at the guards. As he does, however, I suddenly feel squeamish about our plan. Our entire endeavor is going to be performed while the Societas look on. I’m pretty sure this barrier is as translucent to us as it is to them.

They’ll see everything—and we’re planning on doing a lot.

“They’ll be watching us the whole time.” Lucca voices my concern now as he scowls at the guards around the dome’s perimeter. “I’m not sure I’m a fan of that.”

“They are trained to be empty; only vessels of fury for the Council’s will to fill and give purpose.” Quinn dismisses them with a wave of his hand as he looks back at us. “Treat them as no more than empty vases. Unless… being watched makes you feel hot.”

I feel a scalding blush rise to my cheeks then. Because Quinn has hit the nail on the head with this one; it is one of my deepest, darkest fantasies to fuck like an animal while an entire horde of men watch. Quinn feels it as his gaze pins me. A slow smile devours his face.

As the hottest, darkest look commands me now from his eyes.

“On all fours, Ariana. Now,” he commands me.

“What?” I blink at him.

“You heard me.” Quinn is deep in his Masters’ game now as he pins me with his gaze, waving at me like I’m his dog. “Go on all fours. Like the animal you will be when I come for you. Let the men standing all around us beyond this barrier see. And think of you… and everything you might do for them from that position.”

“Quinn…!” Lucca protests.

“Hush, Lucca.” Quinn holds up a hand. “Ariana? Did you hear me?”

Something about Quinn’s commands for me to do as he’s asked is both infuriating and ridiculously hot. I hate being ordered around by him; but some part of me loves it.

Some deepest, darkest part of me wants to just relinquish all control to Quinn in the bedroom, and ride out whatever diabolical game he has for me. I move to all fours in the grass as a spike of heat blazes through me. My breath is high; my heart is pounding as I do as he says.

And the darkest wave of my Dark Fae power rolls out, shimmering over the grass.

I see the Societas stand up straight as they notice something is happening inside the dome. They don’t seem to think it’s anything to raise an alarm about—though their gazes pin me from the wash of magic that I spread.

Their gazes are locked to me; my breath is too high now, as I feel all that male attention. I hate it and love it, knowing I’m safe in here with Quinn and they can’t touch me. Some part of me wants to put on a show for them.

And Quinn knows it as he gives a terrible, glorious smile.

“There…” He looks at Lucca, who has set his jaw in fury now as he lifts an eyebrow at Quinn. Quinn waves at me, waiting in my ridiculous position on the grass. “She likes being ordered around by me, Lucca; Ariana enjoys relinquishing control to someone she trusts in the bedroom. Some part of her is a deep exhibitionist and likes having an audience for her situation even more. But Ariana and I have consent between us, and safe words, to be used if anything even begins to go awry. I would never abuse her; this is consensual hedonism. Though we go into the darkness, we do so in love. Stand down with your affront… and let her tell you what to do. And how she needs this to go, to unfurl the darkest side of her nature.”

“Ariana?” Lucca moves to me now, touching my hand in the grass as he gazes deep into my eyes. “Are you okay with this?”

“I trust Quinn,” I say as I reach out, cupping Lucca’s cheek in my hand. “He knows me, Lucca. He can feel my… darker pleasures, deep inside. As I’m sure he can feel yours. We need to give in to that now, if we are to have a shot at trying his plan, even the smallest bit. Are you in?”

“Can you give in to your darkest pleasures and lusts?” Quinn asks now as his gaze pins Lucca. “You have to, if we are going to give this a go.”

“Surrender your do-goodery,” I say now as I smile at him. “Be bad, for once. Enjoy it. And know we will all be safe.”

As Lucca looks at me, I see something open up deep inside him. A feeling of utter relief, it’s as if constraining himself to be just the white knight in any situation was throttling his power his entire life. As Lucca opens up to his most wanton desires, the deepest, darkest part of his power opens. As Lucca heaves a hard sigh, I see his Night come unwound.

Shimmering as it spreads from his shoulders in glorious dark cobalt rainbows—the darkest I’ve ever seen from him.

“I’ll do it.” Lucca leans in on hands and knees, kissing my lips. “I… want to.”

We are in agreement as a deep wave of Night spreads all through us. It inundates our connections to each other like some luxurious, potent flower, unfurling its blossoms to the deepest midnight.

As it does, however, even as Quinn moves forward to consensually debase me and do all his wildest, wickedest fantasies with me in front of these guards, I suddenly find he can’t. He’s the one who stops our progress now, halting before me.

As he blinks, reaching out—and raising me up to my feet.
