Page 106 of A Realm of Fire and Ash

My beast drinks hungrily, gorging on him as he roars his release inside me. I can feel the power coursing through my veins, his essence mixing with mine in a delicious blend. His eyes flicker with a wild intensity that only deepens when I meet his gaze.

In that moment, we are bound together beyond words or understanding.

When his hips still, his mouth meets mine before he's torn off me. I'm vaguely aware of the sound of a feral wail outside, and the entire house shakes as Caius plunges into me.

More.

I recognize the voice now. It's my beast, wanting to sink her claws into any worthy man that draws near.

Caius' mouth trails my neck, his breath hot against my skin before he snarls his pleasure and bites down hard on my shoulder. His fangs draw blood from me, but the pain only brings more euphoria with it. Az follows suit, sinking his fangs into the other shoulder as Emeric licks and kisses up my arm until he reaches my earlobe.

I claw and mark Caius, my instincts taking over as I flip us so I'm on top, dragging my hips against his. My mind narrows to only one focus; riding him and consuming every sensation my beast demands of him.

I feel no pain, the adrenaline of my beast dulling any aches and heightening all pleasure.

Caius growls and sits up, drawing my mouth to his neck. "Mark me."

His demand sends a thrilling shock through me, my body begging for more. My fangs sink into his flesh, eliciting a chorus of moans from both of us. His claws dig deep into my shoulders, anchoring me to him as I drink deeply from his vein.

Heat floods my core as he spills his seed in me, and I let out a feral cry as pleasure takes me over the edge, too.

The moment of euphoria is broken when the roar of a god rents the air, like a crack of thunder, and Aggonid barrels into the room, his eyes no longer ruby, but a soulless black. Shadows pour off him, filling the room with an oppressive power. His hair braided close to his scalp, it hangs long over his bare shoulders, glass beads glinting off it in the dim light.

More.

Aggonid stalks towards the bed, ignoring Az and Emeric, and pulls me out of Caius' embrace, crushing me to his chest. His lips seal against mine, the force of it searing through me. My eyelids flutter closed as his tongue invades my mouth. His kiss is all-consuming, a possession of the deepest kind.

My back meets the mattress, the silk comforter sticking to my sweat-slick skin as Aggonid lowers himself over me. His eyes are wide with a primal need, all the measure of the god in his depthless gaze. He devours my mouth with his own and my fingers work at his belt, but my beast grows frustrated and burns his pants and belt off him with a flare of fire that doesn't singe him.

A wicked grin settles on his face when he pulls back to see what I've done. My pulse hammers in my veins as his fingertips trace my body with aching slowness, sending sparks of pleasure through me with each stroke. His hand wraps around my hip as he lowers himself between my legs, the head of his hard arousal pressing against me.

I'm vaguely aware of Caius and Az on either side of me, lust-filled gaze heavy on where Aggonid rolls my nipple between his fingers. I feel Emeric somewhere in the room, too, but abandon the thought when Aggonid speaks.

He stares down at me, desire and a possessiveness in his black eyes. "Mine," he growls like a vow as he pushes inside me in one long thrust.

My magic flares to life, pouring from my core like a river, and flowing into him. It illuminates the room in a brilliant display of crimson and gold, not snuffing out his shadows, but dancing around them as though greeting a long-lost love.

Aggonid grabs my hand, weaving our fingers together as he slams into me again. I scream in pleasure and awaken to the true nature of what it's like to be fucked by a god. His animalistic growls and my blissful cries fill the room, echoing off the walls. The sound of our bodies meeting is like thunder rolling through the air, creating a rhythm that only we can move to.

As we move together, something stirs between us, an elusive force that draws us closer with each passing moment. It's like a spark of magic, shimmering and ethereal, that ignites with each thrust and deepens our connection in ways I cannot comprehend.

There's a sense of inevitability to it all, as if our souls are slowly melding together, fusing into one entity. I'm lost in the sensation, swept up in a tide of feeling that threatens to overwhelm me.

Yet even as I surrender to the moment, I can't ignore the sense of foreboding that lingers at the edge of my consciousness. There is power in what we share, but also a danger that I can't fully grasp. All I know is that this bond between us is both beautiful and terrifying, a dance of light and shadow that threatens to consume us both.

But my beast is at the helm, and she will not be denied.

He moves faster now, his own voice joining mine in cries of passion as our bodies move in perfect synchronicity. I feel something deep inside me, a rush of warmth that pools beneath my skin and causes goosebumps to break out along my flesh. His lips ghost along my jawline and down my neck before hovering over the pulse point at the base of my throat.

Aggonid growls hungrily as his teeth graze my skin, sending shivers of anticipation racing through me. I gasp as he sinks his fangs into me, the throbbing pleasure almost too much to bear as I'm filled with desire for more of him. His thrusts become more urgent, pulling me deeper and deeper into a pleasure-filled abyss that threatens to consume me entirely. Our climax is explosive, a cataclysmic wave of sensation that crashes into us both and leaves us trembling with exhaustion in its wake.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

CAIUS

Fatigue pulls at me, but things don't feel right. I glance at the four others slumbering in this bed, replaying the sequence of events from the night.

I'd been called to find Morte, which was easy enough. She was always going to be mine. I knew it. She knew it. Our beasts did, too. So how is it that Azazel,a prisoner of this realm, came to claim her first?
