I feel his lips smirk followed by a soft kiss under my ear. “That’s my girl.”

Sliding his hand around to my back, he pushes me towards the bed.

I catch myself with my hands, grabbing the sheets as he tilts my ass up toward him.

Fuck.

Using his knees, he widens my legs apart and settles in behind me.

Pulling back as far as he can with the engorged knot, he thrusts back into me. The jolt slams right to my core, tearing a moan from my lips.

“Hope you’re not tired…because I’m just getting started.”

“Hmm?”

Jax chuckles. “I said I have to go. Luka needs me for something. I’ll be back in a few, but Axel is here.”

“Is Luka okay?”

“He’s fine. Don’t even think about leaving or I’ll hunt your ass down and tie you to the bed.”

I bite my lip, giving him a wicked smile. “In that case, I might just run away.”

Jax leans down on to the bed. “If you want me to chase you, baby, all you have to do is ask. I’ll even give you a ten-minute head start.” He bites my ass before slapping it, hard, making me moan.

“Don’t miss me too much.” He pauses, narrowing his eyes and shaking his head. “Scratch that. Miss me loads. Fucking pine for me and when I get back, I’ll let you suck my cock until you’re dripping, and then I’ll fuck you nice and hard.”

He leaves before I get a chance to pull him back to me. I frown, feeling beyond frustrated.

How the fuck did I go from barely any sex to craving it constantly from my mates? I wonder what Luka and Axel… No. I push the thought out of my mind and get up and head for the shower… a cold one.

Heading into the bathroom, I step inside the shower, turning it up to cold before finding the right pressure. Stepping under it, I let it flow over me for a few minutes before turning up the heat.

Picking one of the mango-scented bath washes, I lather it up and rub it down my body, thinking over everything that happened the last couple of days.

Draven revealed a few eye-opening truths, but I don’t know where to begin or what it all means for me.

Does it change who I am? I don’t feel different, not in any life-altering way.

But I do need to find answers. Answers to the questions still piling up. About my mother. About what being created from the pits of hell means.

My new powers are still a mystery, something I will need to learn about. But with no one else like me, I’ll have to learn as I go.

Will they continue to grow?

I reach down inside me, slowing dragging my power up and watch as the dark shadows seep from my skin like steam.

I close my eyes and search the power inside me. It reaches out around me sensing a connection nearby. It flickers in my mind right before the shadow beast appears outside the shower.

It tilts its head. “Need?” it asks in my mind.

“No. Leave.” It immediately disappears in a puff of smoke.

How the fuck did I end up with him? At least I think it is a he. Another question to add to my ever-expanding list.

What I do know is that I can’t pull away anymore, unintentionally or not. No more hiding and trying to deal with it myself.
