“Don’t worry. This’ll help your demon—” before I could finish my sentence, someone tackled me from behind. I blacked out as soon as I hit the ground. My last thought was of revenge. Whoever attacked me would be fun to hunt.

My head throbbedas I regained consciousness. Groaning, I blinked open my eyes to see all five of my mates sprawled around me on the double couches in their room.

Kain was leaning back with a smug smirk on his face, his legs wide open. Bones had a more guilty expression, and being the biggest, the way he leaned forward with his elbows on his knees as those blue eyes ran over my body made me sweat. My gaze moved before I drooled.

Trigger sat with his ankle resting on his knee and a knife twirling around in his hand, but those hungry eyes were filled with pride. The fucker had got me. Alaric and Dex whispered to each other, but both of their gazes were on me. I felt like a rabbitcoming face to face with hungry wolves. That just pissed me off. I was no rabbit.

I moved, but I didn’t go anywhere. Slowly, my mind caught up with the situation. I was upright, my arms and legs tightly bound. So much for leaving. My magic pulsed against the bindings, but they seemed unaffected. Had they figured out how to block my succubus allure? How the hell did they manage that? Were they consulting with Lucifer?

The anger that was boiling inside of me steamed out of my ears—at least that was how it felt. Would they really do that, work with Lucifer? Before the anger could rise any higher the familiar aloofness took away the worry, but fear rose until there was only the numbness. Once it had fully washed away anything, other than a calm sort of joy, I relaxed against my restraints.

Even with the numbness, my demon was primed and ready to take on my mates. I had gotten to torture more prisoners, but soon wanted the thrill of the hunt, and they took that away from me. Even if it was ruined by the crybabies I hunted. I wanted to finish.

My pink demon magic floated around me, a wave of glitter in the light. Still, it kept bouncing off the men. With the numbness coursing through me my Fae side was harder to reach, so I didn’t try to use my elemental powers as it would just exhaust me, and I needed to be ready to punch each of their faces in once I was free.

“You always look so pretty with my ropes wrapped around you, my Queen,” Dex all but purred out. He leaned into me and sniffed my alluring magic. Even though he groaned in pleasure, the magic didn’t affect him. “You smell amazing.”

I growled. “Let me out or your pretty little Queen will rip out your throat.” The edge to my voice made him move his head back away from my sharp fangs. Smart man because I was just about to bite his cheek.

Trigger licked his lips. “I’m loving this blood thirsty side of my Dreamgirl. She would literally try to kill us if we let her out right now. Can we keep her like this?”

Trigger was my most bloodthirsty mate, and I loved it. Especially right now. The others were surrounding me giving me worried eyes or suspicious glares, but not Trigger. His smile was infectious and extremely deviant. Perfect for a prince of Hell.

Kain shook his head. “Let’s begin.”

Bones knelt in front of me, undoing my leather pants. My hips moved, making his large fingers fumble with my buttons. I didn’t hold back my laughter when he slipped and landed face first in my still leather-covered pussy. His teeth nipped at my lower tummy.

“Behave,” he mumbled as he pulled away.

I wanted to kick him in the face to see how much he would bleed, and that thought made me pause. No one was hurting my Bones, not even me. The numbness that I loved dwindled slightly, so I could feel my panic shining through. A wave of it crashed into me. What the fuck was I doing?

I took a deep breath and nodded to tell him that I’d listen now. “Okay, what’s the plan?” I asked with a hint of shame in my tone.

I hoped they didn’t feel how much I wanted to hurt Bones just a second ago. If I was willing to hurt my mates because of the numbness, I didn’t need it. I would deal with the nightmares later.

“We don’t know, but we have to try something before it’s too late. I can see from the worried wrinkles around your eyes that you get it now, don’t you?” Alaric said as he took off my shirt. The blood from my earlier prey made the fabric feel sticky and stiff. The sound was just as repulsive.

“I do. It’s not natural whatever is going on inside of me.” I agreed.

Even with the unsettling dilemma going on, their eyes scanned over my mostly naked body. I only had my red bra and undies on. It had been a while since they saw me in such a way, so I was glad I picked out a sexy pair this morning.

Alaric licked his lips and spoke. “Good. That’s the first step.” He kissed my cheek and stepped closer as Bones stepped away. “Kain and I will tasted your blood to check it."

I barely nodded and Kain's fangs were buried in my the flesh on my cleavage. Trigger winced with me because that fucking hurt. Alaric hurriedly found his bite mark on my neck and bit down. His vampire venom had the pain disappearing. I moaned as the heady sensation fogged my mind.

“Kain did mean to hurt you. I'm not sure you remembers, but his Gluttony Demon feeds off of blood and he's starving,” Trigger explained.

I didn't remember actually. So, he was a vampire?

I must have said it out loud because Kain let go of me and stood. His fangs were thick. They hurt coming out as much as they did going in. This time, the pain mixed with the pleasure of the venom.

"I'm not a vampire. Blood is like a rare dessert, but if I go several weeks without it, I get feral.” He tucked a lock of hair behind my ear. “I’m sorry I hurt you. I usually would bite you during an orgasm, but my demon took over.”

Alaric moaned as he finished. Then, licked my neck before stepping away. "I tasted something bitter towards the end, but I don't know what it was.”

Everyone glanced Kain's way. He rubbed the back of his neck. "I, uh, was too excited to remember to scan her." He coughed in his hand, ignoring the chuckles. "I didn't taste anything bad."

Trigger pushed him out of the way. "Never send Gluttony to do a job. They suck." He cackled at his own joke. When no one laughed, he rolled his eyes. “I’ll use my magic to sense you."
