Page 58 of Queen Takes Checkmate
She burst into laughter and the tension shimmering between us dissolved. “His shiny ass is definitely going to be eliminated.”
“But how?” I asked softly, stroking my fingers up her thighs, unable to resist the temptation of touching her while she was so close. “If you don’t use the snake, you can’t kill him forever. He’s a fucking god.”
She nodded, her eyes deep, dark wells of mystery. “Oh, I fully intend to use it. I must.”
I listened to her bond, trying to learn what she had planned. But either she didn’t want us to know, or she truly hadn’t decided how she would pull it off yet. I didn’t know which one sucked more.
Rik blew out a frustrated sigh before I could. “Then you must pay the cost.”
“I will. But it won’t be one of you.”
“One of the other Blood?” He asked hesitantly. “Nevarre was already dead—”
“No.No.” That one word resonated through me, heavy with her intent. “Not Llewellyn, even though he was my mother’s. He’s mine, now. I won’t let him go. Not the headless knight. Not even Vivian. I won’t risk her ability to regenerate herself as the phoenix. She’s mine, and I’m keeping her too.”
“Fuck it,” I said, pushing my fear and emotion away. “Fuck Ra. Fuck all this bullshit. I don’t know how you’re going to pull it off, but I’m going to trust that you will. It doesn’t do us any good to worry about what happens next, and this night isn’t getting any younger.”
She deliberately slid her pussy against me in a slow, delicious grind that made me grit my teeth. Lightly trailing those wicked silver nails across my chest, she chuckled. “Yeah. I think I will fuck it. And I’m going to ask Rik to fuck me while I do you. If you’re lucky, he’ll fuck me so hard that I’ll tear you up with these nails.”
My eyes rolled back into my head at the thought. “Sounds fucking good to me.”

Shara
Imade my way down Daire’s body with agonizing slowness, making sure to rub my blood all over him. He loved the exquisite torment. I could feel my blood burning on his skin, driving his need higher. Of all my Blood, he was the most open with what he wanted and needed from me.
Rik was stoic, alpha, and determined to always take care of me. He’d do anything I asked without hesitation, but he wouldn’t ever allow his need to supersede mine. Even if I would enjoy it as much as I was enjoying Daire now.
I rose up enough to let his cock slide between my legs, dragging myself back and forth on his groin without actually taking him inside me.
Breathing hard, he clutched my hips, flexing his abs to curl up and get his mouth on my breasts. But he didn’t try to get inside me. He waited, enjoying the torment. Hoping it would last as long as possible.
He sucked my nipple into his mouth, his tongue and teeth teasing the hard nub. The tip of his fang scratched over the tender flesh, making me moan. Now it was my turn to wait, to see how long I could endure his teasing before I put us both out of our misery.
Sucking on more of my breast, he inhaled me, gently pushing me deeper into his mouth.
I looked over at Rik, who still lay flat on his back, watching with dark, heavy eyes. One big palm lazily pumped his dick, though I didn’t think he’d ever need to prime himself for me. My alpha was always ready, even if he’d already come just moments before. The only time I’d ever even thought about him not recovering quickly was when he’d licked my pussy.
“A feast,” he rumbled like low, distant thunder.
Daire slid his fingers beneath me, smearing his palm in my blood. “I think he needs some lube. Don’t you, my queen?”
Rik’s jaw clenched, the muscles working across his cheek, but he made no protest as Daire reached over and wrapped his fingers around his dick, coated in my blood. His breath hissed out, his hips thrusting up restlessly into the other man’s fingers. His dick swelled even bigger, thicker, calling me like the moon calls the tide.
Focusing on Daire, I braced the tips of my silver nails on his chest, just hard enough to get his attention. “Get that dick inside me.”
He grinned, a dimple popping in his cheek. “His or mine?”
I pushed my nails slightly harder against him and slowly scratched an inch or so down his chest. His teasing smile quickly faded to a groan. “You first. Rik will take care of his dick now that you’ve so nicely lubed him for me.”
Daire positioned the head of his cock so I could slide down and take him inside me. Slowly. I teased just the tip, deliberately squeezing my muscles on him until he whimpered. He clamped his right hand over mine and pressed my nails harder into his flesh.
I smelled his blood and I couldn’t tease him any longer. I took him to the hilt on one hard lunge that made us both gasp with relief. He wasn’t the most well-endowed man, though none of my Blood were lacking in that department. But no one else had his purr. I pressed my pelvis harder against him, just to feel that vibration flowing through me.
“I could sit here like this and come all night,” I whispered, letting my eyes drift shut.
“Goddess, that would be incredible.”
