Page 74 of What Hunts Inside the Shadows

So long as he treated me like the Goddess I would never be.

He guided me away from his cock with a ragged groan, finally sliding down into the water between me and the ledge as he captured my face in his hands and crashed his mouth down onto mine. He devoured me, letting his tongue tangle with mine and seeming not to care about where my mouth had been.

Spinning me so my back was to the wall of the pool, he guided my elbows onto the stone face and lifted my waist up. Stepping back to allow me to float, my breasts and stomach emerging from the surface, he curled my knees high and rested my legs on his shoulders.

Staring into the apex of my thighs, he used his hands at my hips and beneath my ass to lift me and guide my pussy to his mouth. I gasped the moment he touched me, his mouth hot even compared to the water of the hot spring. The cold air that kissed my breasts and pebbled my nipples was a stark contrast to the heat he built in me quickly, leaving me squirming as he buried his face between my thighs and ate, like a man starved.

I slipped, my elbow coming out from under me and almost plunging my upper body back into the water. Catching myself at the last minute, I propped myself back up with a ragged breath. “Better hold on tight, Beasty. It looks like you’re about to go for a ride,” Holt drawled, drawing my eyes over to where he watched. He held my gaze, the shocking white of his stare pinning me in place as Caldris slid his tongue inside of me and curled one of his hands around the top of my thigh. Touching a probing finger to my clit, he circled it firmly enough that my legs trembled on his shoulders.

My attention shifted back to him, and to the way he raised his eyebrows. Even with half his face hidden from view and consumed with licking my pussy, I felt his irritation.

I was not to acknowledge the Hunstman. Even if it did turn me on to imagine him enjoying the sight, enjoying watching his friend devour me. “Caelum,” I murmured, watching as something snapped in the dark gaze of my mate.

He spun me carefully so my breasts were pinned between my body and the stone ledge, the roughness scraping gently against my skin. He kept me lifted up, raising my body out of the water with his arms wrapped around the thighs that he pinned together.

His mouth came back to my pussy, licking through me even though he had me ass-up. The change in angle made me see stars, his tongue stroking my clit in a different way that sent me tumbling into the edge of an orgasm.

I screamed out my release, dropping my cheek to the stone as I came on Caelum’s face. He rewarded me by licking me through it, only pulling back when my breathing calmed and then lowering my ass into the water. His cock pressed against my entrance, thrusting inside as he wrapped a hand around the front of my throat and pulled my back into his chest. He held me tight, suspended in the water as he moved his hips, driving inside of me and retreating in a punishing, brutal rhythm that I shouldn’t have enjoyed but somehow thrived on.

“Do you want to fuck him?” Caelum asked harshly, using his grip to maneuver me so that I stared at Holt.

“No,” I answered, shaking my head. There wasn’t a part of me that was at all attracted to Holt; I only desired the mate who moved inside of me.

“But you like knowing he’s watching. Your pussy is so fucking wet wrapped around me,” Caelum said, thrusting deep to prove his point. “Though it will be even wetter when I fill it with cum.”

“Yes, I like knowing he’s watching,” I said, hating that the admission felt like a weakness. It felt like I was doing something wrong because of the way I’d been raised, and maybe that contributed to my desire to do it more.

Or maybe it was the nature of whatever existed inside of me. Fae or something else, craving the animalistic need to claim my mate. That wasmymate’s cock pushing through my pussy and battering into me as if it was his pussy to use.

And it was.

“That’s my star,” Caldris said with a chuckle. “Neverpretend to be something you’re not. Never dull how bright you burn so that others may feel comfortable in your presence.”

He dropped a hand to my breast, squeezing the flesh as he pinned me by the throat. A woman gasped back at the entry to the path that led below, and I turned to find Imelda’s mismatched eyes wide with shock.

She wasn’t horrified, and I was certain she’d probably seen similar acts with the Resistance if not engaged in them herself. But her lips pursed, her cheeks hollowing as her mouth dropped open. “I wanted to be sure you were alright,” she said awkwardly. She didn’t move to leave, even though she clearly had the answer she’d come for.

“If you’d like to join in on the festivities,” Holt called, tearing Imelda’s gaze off of our bodies moving in the water. “I have a perfectly good cock you can sit on, witch.”

Imelda glared at him, holding his stare while Caldris moved inside of me. He seemed riveted by their interaction, gazing back and forth between them. “Would I even be able to find it, Ghost Man?” she asked, crossing her arms over her chest. She tilted her head to the side, glancing down his body as he stood and took a step toward her.

I followed her gaze, trailing it down his body until…

Oh.She’d definitely be able to find it.

I chuckled, feeling Caldris’s grip on my throat tighten as he pressed his mouth to his ears. “They need to fuck already,” he murmured, lowering his other hand from my breast to stroke my clit beneath the water.

“You may be able to see through it, but I promise you’ll feel it,” Holt said, taking another step toward her. Imelda stumbled back a step, glaring at him as if she might issue another challenge. But she shook her head, her gaze dropping to the ground before she spun on her heel and retreated back down the path.

Holt grinned at her retreat, looking like he might have followed after her had it not been for Caldris’s command that he stay to observe our tryst. “Just go,” Caldris said, laughing as he touched his mouth to my neck. The humor in his voice caressed my skin, wrapping me in a warm embrace as Holt disappeared.

And Caldris continued to fuck me, taking what was his regardless of what happened between the Huntsman and the witch. Later, I’d ask. But for now, I had more important things to worry about.

Like the orgasm Caelum’s circling fingers brought crashing through me.
