Page 74 of Shadows so Cruel

More. I needed more!

Somewhere inside me, my void gaped wide open, yanking all shadows within reach down into its endless maw. Black tendrils lifted from Sebian’s skin, swirling into me, his teeth barring at the sensation. The surge of darkness dizzied my mind, sending ripples of ecstasy through my veins, making the pain a distant memory…

Until the flow of shadows slowed.

Slowed some more.

Turned into nothing but a slow trickle, threatening to leave me hollow, empty. So empty…

Dread rose, and I rolled my pelvis faster, rubbing my clit on Sebian’s hard body. “More, please…”

“Sweetheart, you have me at the edge already,” Sebian groaned. “Can you close your void for me? Just a little to ease the flow?”

“No…” My blood boiled and roared in my ears, drowning out every semblance of focus. I couldn’t, I didn’t want to! “Please, Sebian, it hurts so much.”

“Shh… it’s alright. Come here, kiss me.” He dove his fingers into my hair and pulled my lips into a gentle, unhurried kiss before he whispered, “I’ll take care of you, I promise.” His eyes, vibrant even in the moonlight, sought out mine. “This is what we’ll do. Are you listening, sweetheart?”

I nodded.

“Grab the blanket because it’s freezing outside. You got it?”

I dug my fingers into the nearby shadowcloth. “Uh-huh.”

“Alright, hold on.” Supporting my ass with one arm and pulling me against him with the other, he moved to his feet. “I’ll carry you to Malyr, do you hear me?”

I wrapped my legs around his waist, which made it near impossible for me to rock against him. “But—”

“No buts. Whatever this thing is between us three, it’s not going to keep either one of us from loving you right, do you understand?”

No. I understood nothing with how the cold nipped at my bare soles, my body awkwardly humping against him—chasing pleasure just to distract me from the pain. Gods, the pain…

“It hurts so much!”

“Fucking turn around and look the other way!” Sebian hissed at a nearby guard as he hurried toward the door of the chancery, and… Shadows! They seeped out from underneath Malyr’s door, bringing Sebian to a stop. “Shit. This can’t be a good sign. Sweetheart, I need you to absorb—”

They swirled up like a twisting storm, surging into my void. I cried out at the sublime sensation, shuddering, my whole body tingling with pleasure. The pain within me melted away, replaced by a sensation so strong, it threatened to shatter me anew.

“Did you just come, sweet thing?” Sebian asked, all but careening through the door and into the chancery.

Shadows.

Shadows everywhere!

They twisted around us like a sandstorm at midnight, all light choked from the room, before Sebian slammed the door. “Malyr?”

My void sucked at the shadows with such force, the gust it caused swallowed all blackness, streaming into me with tingles of utter delight. A chair knocked over and books thudded to the ground.

The fire in the hearth fanned into a bright flare, casting a red hue over that heaving figure that hunched over the nest of black shadowcloth on all fours, naked. Skin webbed with dark lines, eyes pitch black, shadows streaming from the inner corners like ink dripping from a quill.

“Shit…” Sebian mumbled. “Sweetheart, do you still have your head together? Because I need you to get some of those shadows off him.”

Sebian carried me over to the nest and kneeled. The blanket fell away from us.

Malyr finally turned his gaze our way. His eyes fixed on where I sat, impaled on Sebian’s cock. His entire body began to shake and tremble.

Then he hissed.

Sebian stiffened against me. “I am so done for.”
