“Hungry,” he growls, his tongue darting out to taste the sweat on my spine.

“No more or you’ll kill me,” I rasp.

He sighs and tugs me back into his arms, stroking my body. The magic in his skin seems to soak in my pain and heal me.

“I will wait for you to be hungry again.” His hand slides down, covering my messy cunt.

Holy fuck, he’s going to kill me with sex.

This is definitely not how I thought this would go.

CHAPTER 25

Phrixius and I explode into the cave where we tracked the creature. Luckily for my little witch, I am tied to her soul, and after fighting to conjure another portal, we followed that tie to this mountain. Phrixius was a very bad sport about climbing, but I couldn’t risk us evaporating up the side and plunging to our deaths. I would not look good flattened, so instead, we climbed while he complained, but we are here now. We storm into the dark oval entrance, only to come to a stop, our war cries dying on our lips as we share a confused look.

“Well, it looks like we didn’t need to rush to save you. We could have stopped for that iced coffee like I wanted, but no, somebody said it wasn’t important.” I glance at Phrixius, wagging my finger. “Now, don’t you feel silly for worrying? Plus, it looks like she needs some caffeine after that . . . workout.”

Freya’s face flushes as she struggles to sit up, but the creature holding her tugs her back down, narrowing his red eyes on us, but he doesn’t appear angry. A good fuck can do that to a guy.

“I am so confused.” Phrixius’s face is red as he meets Freya’s eyes and tries to be a gentleman.

Leaning in, I whisper, “Need me to give you a book on sex, buddy?See, the penis goes—” He throws me a glare as I cackle. “I told you she likes to fuck monsters. Pay up.”

“You bet I would fuck the monster that abducted me?” Freya snaps.

I blink at her anger. “Yes?” I reply slowly. “I wasn’t wrong, was I? Now we both get to benefit since Phrixius owes us a whole island.”

“An island?” she scoffs haughtily. “Wait, nice bet, I could use a holiday after all this. Can it be somewhere warm?” she asks Phrixius.

“Can we focus please?” he snaps. “This creature abducted you. We thought you were in danger.”

“So did I. I thought he would eat me,” she begins.

“Oh, he did that for sure.” I chuckle.

They both pin me with exasperated looks while the creature in question just snuggles closer to her. “What, a guy can’t have fun? I was riding in here to rescue you, so at least let me enjoy this since I didn’t get to kill anyone. I guess we don’t have to worry about the creature eating and killing people—wait, I’m not sharing the bed with that thing. It’s huge and looks like a cover hog.”

“Mine,” the creature snaps, tugging Freya closer.

“Ours,” I retort. “We share here, buddy.”

“Share?” he asks slowly.

“Share.” I nod. “I guess it works out. She has three holes?—”

“Oh my fucking gods, please stop!” she yells, and we all fall silent. She struggles from the creature’s embrace, pointing at him when he tries to drag her back. “No, bad, stop. Give me a minute.” Despite being totally naked and dripping in monster cum, she stands, propping her hands on her hips and looking every inch the defiant witch as she watches us. “Right, enough. I can fuck whomever I want, and I don’t want any judgment or arguments. Understood?” She glances at me.

“Understood, little witch.” I nod with a grin. “As long as I’m one of them.”

Huffing, she looks at Phrixius. “Understood?”

“Understood.” He nods quickly, glancing at me. “I didn’t even do anything?—”

“Enough,” she snaps, and the god actually closes his mouth. She looks at the monster then. “Understood? I don’t belong to anyone.”

“Mine,” he snarls.

She snarls back, and despite the shadows now leaking from him in anger or the fact that he’s huge and clearly evil, she points in his face. “No.” Her eyes narrow. “I am my own, and if you cannot accept that, I will never touch you again.”
