Page 70 of Kissed By Shadows

“A month should be sufficient,” he answers, and luckily I pause before setting my glass down, otherwise it may have given me away as I surely would have made a noise.Suka. Four weeks without being here to tell the Shadows what is going on, to pre-warn them like I did tonight. “Take Dima and Andrei. They’re good, loyal soldiers for you.”

“I’ll go get packed,” I tell him, carefully placing my now empty glass on the side table and straightening up, my mind racing. If he hadn’t said about taking the guys, I would have left one of them behind to keep an eye on things, but there’s no way I can now. All I can do is warn Hunter that something is coming.

I just hope that it will be enough.

“LOVE ME” BY EX HABIT

IRIS

A pained groan wakes me up, my body curling in on itself as a cramp tightens my womb.

“Hey, Princess, what’s wrong?” Roman’s deep, husky voice asks, his fingers pushing hair back from my sweaty forehead.

I blink my eyes open, finding myself on the soft mattress, Roman looking deliciously sleep-tousled, his arm outstretched as he cups my face. He’s lined in soft light that edges around the curtains, the strength of it making me feel it’s well intothe morning if not a little later. There’s a warmth at my back, Rowan’s hot body pressing against me, curling around me as his hand comes to rest over mine, which is on my lower stomach as if that will help stop the pain.

A rush of liquid between my thighs has my eyes widening, the realisation that I’ve started my period, naked in bed with the twins hitting me. Seriously, fuck my life.

“Um, I…” I trail off as another cramp steals my breath, more liquid—okay, period blood—slicks my thighs. Fuck, how am I going to get to the bathroom with them either side of me and without dripping everywhere? Being a girl sucks hairy arse sometimes.

“What is it, Little Lamb? Why is your hand over your womb?” Rowan asks from behind me, his rasping voice sending a delicious shiver across my skin, distracting me from my embarrassment and pain. Taking a deep inhale, my cheeks flaring and a part of me giving up, I accept the inevitable.

“Shit, okay, I’ve just started my period and am bleeding everywhere so, yeah…” My bravado leaves me as both men freeze. I gaze at Roman under my lashes, watching as his cheeks flush slightly, his pupils blown wide.

“Well, darling,” he purrs, his gaze flicking over my shoulder before resting back on me. “That’s like waving a literal red flag to a bull.”

My forehead creases, my humiliation forgotten as I wonder what the fuck he’s talking about. Then I squeak as the duvet is thrown off me and I’m flipped to my back, my thighs spread obscenely wide as Rowan kneels between them. His dick is rock-solid, the piercings on the underside glinting as he stares at my pussy with a feral look.

“Rowan, what are you doing?” I ask, trying to close my legs, but he legit growls at me like a beast, freezing me in place.

“You don’t ever try to deny what belongs to me, understand?” he snarls, his gaze never moving from my core as he dips a finger down and swipes it through my folds. “Fuck, she’s so messy, brother, all covered in blood.” I watch in shocked horror as he brings his finger up to his lips and sucks the blood off. My menstrual blood. “She tastes so good too.”

My core clenches, sending another gush of blood from my pussy, my body heating as Rowan watches it seep from me. He shuffles down until his face hovers over my cunt, his fingers spreading my lips, all the while watching my pussy like a man possessed.

“I like blood, in all its forms,” he confesses softly, and a sharp twinge on my breast has me looking down to see matching cuts on the top of both breasts. That must have been what I felt last night when Hunt was fucking me, Roogiving me a matching mark to the one he gave me at the club. “And this will make you feel so good, my sacrificial Lamb.”

Before I can utter a word, he dips down and swipes his tongue through my slick, blood-covered pussy, and my back bows off the mattress. It’s so fucking wrong but feels absolutely incredible, his soft tongue tracing around my sensitive clit, pleasure helping to override the pain of my cramps that keep coming at me in waves.

“Do you like my brother licking that dirty pussy, Princess?” Roman purrs in my ear, and I blink, not realising I’d closed them, to find him still lying next to me. My gaze dips down at the movement of his arm, to see his fist wrapped around his solid dick as he watches me. “Do you like the idea of covering his face with your blood? Marking him as yours?”

I groan, my mouth unable to form thehell yesthat my body is screaming as Rowan eats me like I’m his favourite meal. I shouldn’t like this, I should be disgusted by it, but then, maybethat’s the patriarchy talking, and actually, there is nothing shameful about periods, so why is this any different?

Rowan sucks my clit in between his teeth and a scream is ripped from my throat as my orgasm slams into me, my release squirting out of me all over Rowan’s face. It’s so much more intense than any I’ve experienced before, my period obviously leaving me extra sensitive, and I explode into a thousand atoms that are flung into the stratosphere.

All I can do is feel as pleasure consumes me, and Rowan doesn’t let up, licking and sucking until I’m a twitching, writhing mess begging him to stop.

“Only because I need my dick inside your bloody cunt, Lamb,” Rowan growls, and I open bleary eyes, something feral inside me purring in satisfaction to see his lips and chin covered in red. Seems like I do like the idea of marking him with my blood.

I’m hauled on top of Roman, his dick sliding into my still-pulsing channel, and I whimper, still a bit sore from last night, but it also feels unbelievable. I can’t hold myself up, so I rest down on his chest, taking in a huge inhale and filling my lungs with his peppermint, lavender, and lemon scent.

“Shhh, baby, this will blow your mind,” Roman tells me on a groan, his hands gripping my arse and spreading my cheeks. “Now let my brother in this sweet cunt, he did such a good job making you come just now.”

I moan long and low as Rowan pushes alongside his twin, although my period eases the way and my climax has loosened my muscles so it doesn’t take long before he’s seated to the hilt.

“You feel so fucking good, Lamb,” Rowan croons, wasting no time and beginning to move his hips, sending tendrils of pleasure up my spine.

“She was made to take our dicks, brother,” Roman adds with a grunt, his hips also moving in an alternate rhythm so that I’mnever empty of them. I lie there, my nails digging into Roman’s pecs, my breaths panting as they push me closer to the edge once again.

“We’re gonna fill this pussy up, even if you are on your period,” Roman hisses, picking up speed and fucking into me so hard my breaths are punched out of me.
