“It’s an honor to bleed for you, Shara. A minor injury is nothing but an opportunity to serve.”
“Let me see how bad it is.”
His eyelids went heavy, and he readily dragged the torn, stained shirt over his head and tossed it over his shoulder.
Oh. My. Fucking. Hot. Man. Alert.
I’d known he was a massive man, but the shirt had hid exactly how cut and well-defined his muscles were.
I ran my hands over the broad, heavy muscles of his chest and shoulders, reveling in his strength. He was so ripped I could feel the fiber of muscle and tendon beneath his skin. Heat radiated off him, his body one massive furnace of lust and strength.
I ran my fingers down the chiseled ridges of his abs and found the slash in his side. It’d stopped bleeding, so I didn’t think it was too deep. “Does it need to be cleaned? Bandaged?”
“Not at all. Our blood pushes out any toxins from the thrall’s teeth and claws, and we heal quickly when well fed. It should be healed by morning. It’s truly nothing.”
“It’s not nothing to me,” I whispered, looking back up into his eyes, letting him see my gratitude. “No one has ever helped me like that before. Let alone been hurt doing so. If you hadn’t come tonight…”
He made a low, rumbling sound. A threat, I thought, because I’d been so close to ending my life in order to avoid being eaten alive.
“Never again, Shara. You will never be alone and unprotected again.”
I leaned in and rubbed my face on his throat, breathing in his scent. “That sounds good to me. Especially if I can have this too.”
“Always. Take my blood. Take my body. Use me any way you desire. I'm yours.”
My mouth ached, but I ran my tongue over my teeth and didn’t feel anything new. I’d enjoyed biting Daire, even though I couldn’t break the skin easily. I’d liked having him in my mouth.
Alrik rubbed his thumb gently over my lips. “Let me show you where the fangs should be, and feel if anything is there.”
I opened my mouth and he stroked his index finger around the inside behind my teeth. He passed over a spot on one side and my breath caught. Sensation shot through me, a bolt of nerve endings coming alive. I ran my tongue around the front of my teeth and pressed on the other side, giving myself another jolt.
“They’re there, though not quite ready to erupt.” His voice oozed with satisfaction, as if he couldn’t wait for me to pierce him with my teeth.
Truth be told, I couldn’t wait either.
“Daire, why don’t you show her how it’s done this time?”
“Gladly,” Daire purred as he draped over the big man’s shoulder. He wrapped his palm around the front of Alrik’s neck and stroked the side of his throat. “Feel the pulse here.”
I leaned forward and pressed my lips to that spot, slightly open so I could touch my tongue to Alrik’s skin. His pulse thumped hard and steady beneath my tongue. Teasing him, I closed my teeth on his neck, testing how hard I could bite before he reacted. My mouth throbbed in beat with his pulse. I imagined sinking teeth deep into him, feeling his blood rush into my mouth, and I groaned.
Which made him groan.
Daire laughed. “Allow me, my queen.”
I leaned back enough to watch, but kept my palms on Alrik’s chest. I couldn’t stop running my hands over his skin. Daire touched him too, holding his throat, sliding an arm around his waist to draw him back against him. And it suddenly dawned on me.
They'd been feeding each other, in more ways than one.
Daire licked Alrik’s throat, flattening his tongue in firm, long strokes that made Alrik’s head fall back against his shoulder with a deep, shuddering groan. He might as well have been sucking his dick. When he bit Alrik, it was just as intimate as sliding into his ass. Alrik arched his back, thrusting against me.
And I could suddenly see exactly how it would be with them. One of them fucking the other, while one fucked me. Dripping blood all over each other.
I shuddered, pressing closer, and reached down to Alrik’s crotch. I don’t think you could exist in this century and not know the basics of sex, but I’d never actually seen a man’s dick before. Thanks a lot, ridiculous sexist television that didn’t hesitate to show a woman’s genitals but never a man’s.
My fingers itched to explore him. Trace the ridges and veins, see what made him gasp and shudder. I wasn’t shy. Far from it. And now that I had the opportunity to play with him and his friend, I sure as hell was going to enjoy them as much as they could endure.
Daire lifted his mouth a moment, letting blood trail down Alrik’s chest for me. I licked the trails up toward the punctures while I jerked his jeans open. I pushed my hand down into the front of his pants and wrapped my fingers around his cock. So hard, so thick, and yet incredibly soft. I squeezed my thighs around his hips, burning for his hands. His mouth. That delicious cock sinking deep into me.
