Chapter 13

Jadrian

Jadrian stared into the glass of Scotch he held, thinking he was like the melting ice cube. Almost redundant now, doing more harm by watering the liquor down than chilling it, and better off pulled out of the glass before it ruined the rest of the drink. It was his sixth glass, perhaps it was time to stop.

Glancing up, he decided it was definitely time to stop. He could swear there were two women sitting on the pillow covered floor of the lounge room, making out as their gazes took him in. He squinted, thinking he was probably staring down a potted plant or something, but when he opened his eyes they were still there.

Two months ago he’d have waltzed on over to them, invited himself for a night of debauchery, but now. Well, Allana had taught him a thing or two. Sometimes the people who acted like they wanted you the most just wanted something from you.

Sure, he’d learned that lesson long ago but he’d thought his judge of character was better than that, he thought he’d learned enough to know when he was being used. Apparently not. She’d taken him for a ride unlike anything he’d ever been on. It did explain why she’d been so hot after Cade and Jacqui but so easily switched to him. She hadn’t cared which one she got in with, she just needed an in. Jadrian had given that to her without a second thought. There hadn’t been any kind of warning from his gut that something was off about her. The ladies in his family, his brothers that he loved so much, had almost paid the price for him paying more attention to his dick than he did to his head.

Jadrian remembered the way she’d held him after the cave-in in the tunnels but pushed the memory away. So she could fake human compassion, he bet even genocidal dictators occasionally spared a life. Maybe. Cats could eat their young but would defend later litters, so it wasn’t like nature didn’t allow compassion, even from vile creatures bent on destroying the world. He’d trust a dictator or a baby eating cat more than he’d ever trust Allana again.

He decided to bury his memories, and his dick, in the two women stripping each other off on the pillow. As he left the bar, someone caught his arm and he turned around to tell them to piss off.

“Cade. I should have known. Man, I don’t need the lecture right now. I need to get off and get out of this fucking place.” He wasn’t slurring his words yet but he was close, his heavy eyelids struggling to stay open.

“I think we need to talk, brother. You’re falling apart. It’s been a month, I’ve let you drag yourself through the mud for weeks now. Tonight is the last of it.” Cade’s voice told Jadrian he didn’t expect a response so Jadrian sat down, waiting for the lecture.

“You didn’t know. It’s that simple. You didn’t know who she was, you didn’t know her plans, you didn’t know she was using you. That’s generally the idea of these types of plans, you know? Fool the mark. To be honest, I’m not completely sure your girl was playing for their team.” Cade ordered a drink for himself and a coffee for his brother and turned back to Jadrian, who was stunned into silence.

“What do you mean?” Jadrian finally found the ability to speak again and stared at his brother.

“I’m certain that all wasn’t as it appeared. I wouldn’t be so quick to judge her. Allana was many things but I’m not certain she was a traitor. Even if she did take my wife.” Cade’s hands tightened but he didn’t go on.

“So you think she was working her own angle, trying to take her father out?” Jadrian sounded hopeful but doubtful. She hadn’t been seen since that night, if she was innocent she should have come in and faced the music. Jacob had released a “do not kill” order for her. He seemed to want to give her a trial too, so why hadn’t she come in?

Jadrian turned away from his brother, his brain too fuddled at the moment to think too hard about anything. His gaze caught the women again and he forgot about Allana for a moment. A moment that likely wouldn’t last but he’d take it.

The brothers silently watched as the two women slowly undressed each other in a corner, as two males brought a woman to a shuddering orgasm in another. Things like that often happened in this lounge and people were free to watch, join, or sit relaxing as they chose. Not something the non-magical world would ever admit to wanting, but Jadrian drunkenly decided they needed more places like it, people needed to get some of those sticks out of their asses and a dick in it instead.

He snorted and almost fell off of his stool.

“Drink your coffee.” Cade pushed the cooling liquid to his brother who slurped at it before letting the cup clatter back onto the dish it had been sitting on.

“Look, Cade, you got a wife. A very pregnant wife from the looks of her lately. You’re getting laid. I’m not, just fuck off.” Jadrian wasn’t being his normal careful self now but he knew Cade would forgive him. His heart was broken.

“Actually, since becoming pregnant, Jacqui has become quite adventurous. I had to pull her away from those two last night.” Jadrian cracked one eye open and saw Cade was pointing at the women.

“Really?” Jadrian didn’t believe him, Cade was drunk!

“Yeah, she was crawling on her hands and knees to them. I had to take her back to our room, and well…” Cade didn’t elaborate but he gave Jadrian a look that said he worked his ass off last night.

“Wow. I wanted to know that.” Jadrian tried to take Cade’s drink but Cade was having none of it.

“Look, Jadrian, I need you to sort your shit, man. Jacob’s putting you in charge of Allana’s clan. She hasn’t surfaced since we sealed the mine shaft off. I have no idea if she’s still down there or if she escaped. Maybe she doesn’t know about the ‘do not kill’ order, or that Jacob wants to give her a trial. I do know we can’t leave her clan without an Alpha though. You’re leaving tomorrow. Get your shit together. Fuck those two or don’t, but get your shit together. You have responsibilities and you don’t get to run away from them.” Cade ordered another drink, asking for an orange juice when he saw his wife enter the room. She was hungrily staring at the two men and women, her gaze going over both Cade and Jadrian with a sultry hunger that managed to both arouse Cade and set off his jealous mode.

“Fuck, not again. She almost killed me last night.” Cade swore under his breath and Jadrian smirked. “You wouldn’t believe she was a virgin when we got married. Now she simply can’t get enough of sex and she wants to explore it all. It’s just sex, I am not a jealous kind of guy and wouldn’t mind, but I want her to make decisions on her good sense, not her hormones. Fuck, this being pregnant thing is going to kill me. Luckily, she’s going as quick as Damesha did.”

“Man, I don’t know if I envy you that or not.” Jadrian looked back at his coffee as his sister-in-law walked up, trying not to giggle.

“Hey, baby.” Jacqui, normally a bit reserved in public, snuggled up to Cade’s side, still standing as she ran a finger down his neck, her eyes hungry for him.

Jadrian noted her stomach had grown a bit more in the hours since he’d seen her last and knew he could very well be an uncle again by the end of the week.

“Wait, what?” Jadrian’s brain was sluggish and he had just processed the words about being Alpha and going to Allana’s tribe. “I’m not going to a rainforest, Cade. It’s always raining in Louisiana. Fuck that!”

Cade turned, grinning at his brother. “Not my decision, brother. You moped around and Jacob decided to give you something to do.”

Jadrian glared at his empty coffee mug, how the hell was he going to get out of this shit?

“I don’t want to go to the swamp. It fucking rains!” He pushed the cup away, and stood up unsteadily. “I’m going to talk to Jacob.”

“No, you’re not. Go to bed, get your stuff packed, and go. You’ll be good at this, Jadrian. You just need to sober up and you’ll see. Go on now, off to bed.”

Jadrian glared at his brother once more and wobbled off. This was bullshit. The fucking swamp. He was going to talk to Jacob. But he didn’t, he went to his room as Cade told him to and passed out instead.

Jacob

“She’s new.” Jacob looked at the redhead and remembered Allana for a moment. The two were totally different, though. This one’s hair wasn’t as shiny, her face wasn’t as perfect. She was lovely though, and a volunteer. He felt himself going hard as he looked at his partner, the woman that was far more than his wife. She was his queen now.

“She tastes of blueberries and maple syrup.” Sabrina went back to the vein she’d been nursing in the woman’s bared neck.

Naked, the women were on the bed, waiting for Jacob to join them. Gulping slowly he decided to watch them for a bit. This was sex, plain and simple, and though he hadn’t fucked anyone but Sabrina, he did enjoy the nights when they shared a volunteer.

“Strip, darling, and get up here beside of her.” Sabrina patted the blood red duvet and Jacob couldn’t say no.

He was already aching for her, aching for the blood that would nurture him, and let his clothes fall to the floor. He strode to the bed on strong legs, his entire body well developed and he knew it when Sabrina gave him an appreciative look. The volunteer, nameless for now, was too enraptured in Sabrina’s fingers on her nipples to notice he was there.

“Our king wants to join us, Liza, is that alright?” Sabrina prompted, needing the woman’s consent before Jacob would touch her.

“Yes, please, touch me. Oh fuck, please touch me.” The experience of giving blood to vampires was highly erotic for humans and could become an addiction in itself. Liza was new but loving it already.

“He won’t fuck you, my lovely, but I will.” Sabrina’s slim fingers trailed down the woman’s flat stomach, down her bare pubis, disappearing into her folds. Jacob’s heart sped up as he watched, knowing Sabrina had just entered her when Liza’s eyes opened wide and lost.

Liza gave a ragged moan and Jacob moved, his tongue finding her very pale pink nipple. Not as large as Sabrina’s, not as firm, but still delightful. His tongue rasped the tip and Liza began to purr. Jacob’s fangs pierced the woman’s skin gently, still drawing on her nipple, a delight he had found human women couldn’t resist. Many of them exploded as soon as his fangs pierced their skin, others took a bit of coaxing.

Jacob thought this was one of the more challenging volunteers and moaned, pressing his cock into her slim hip, coaxing her to explore him, to explore his queen. He felt her hand flutter down, heard her gasp as she felt him, and watched her, the taste of her blood making him harder.

Sabrina did her own bit of purring and Jacob glanced at her. Liza’s fingers were moving between Sabrina’s thighs, diving in and out of her. Sabrina must be very wet, Jacob could smell her unique scent and craved her taste. He decided it could wait, the volunteer’s body was going tense as Jacob’s fingers joined Sabrina in the blood donor’s folds, pressing inside of her. He matched his pace to the pace she’d set with Sabrina, to the pace she’d set with him. For a moment he wasn’t sure who was touching who, or who was supposed to be coming, he was lost in the scent of the women, in the taste of the blood, of the incredible feeling of having his cock stroked while he and his queen got their volunteer off.

He wanted to fall back and enjoy the moment, let the women pamper him, but he knew he shouldn’t ask until he gave some pleasure himself. He loved his queen, there was no doubt about that, but when there was mutual agreement and mutual enjoyment, sex with others could be fun. Even if he hadn’t technically penetrated anyone but Sabrina.

That was his own rule and one he had no intention of breaking. He hadn’t met a woman worthy of it yet, and doubted he ever would. There was only one Sabrina, after all.

With an aching dick, Jacob moved away from the woman as she opened her eyes, filled with wonder. Her hands had slowed to a halt as she came down from her high and her hips had stopped thrashing. Now she looked at Sabrina. His queen leaned over to kiss the woman and Jacob saw her tongue sliding along the other woman’s.

Sabrina was a romantic at heart and had lit candles all over their chamber. The flames caused lights to flicker over her body, shadows forming and disappearing. He wanted to follow the light patterns with his tongue. He moved over her and the woman did the same, coming to life when Jacob moved.

The volunteer moved over Sabrina’s face, her thighs embracing Sabrina’s head, and Jacob caught a faint giggle as Sabrina’s arms came up to clasp the woman’s ass, pulling her closer. Jacob wondered if Sabrina would feed from the woman that way as well. The image made Jacob harder, and he ground his dick into the bed, needing some kind of relief, even if it was temporary.

He needed to bury himself in his partner, he needed her heated walls around him, but he wouldn’t take until he had given. Not even a little bit.

Jacob wasn’t sure why he was losing control tonight, but he knew he needed to contain it. He couldn’t lose control.

With a low growl, he grazed her clit with his teeth and felt her buck beneath him. He could drink from her, but the experience would definitely send him over a precipice he didn’t want to cross tonight. Not yet, at least. He didn’t care what happened after Sabrina got off, they could walk out of the room or turn him into their sex slave, but first she would get off.

He heard Liza whimper above him, the sound turning into a low moan as her back arched and her hips began to move on Sabrina’s face. Jacob smiled, wondering if he could distract Sabrina. He let his teeth graze her once more as his fingers slid into her wet confine. When he brushed his tongue against her clit, pressing it into the nub, her hips jerked, pressing the organ into his mouth.

Jacob sucked her clit hard and fast, knowing that he was going to have to fuck her, that he wanted it too much but he didn’t move. She had to get off first.

The blood volunteer started to shudder as he pressed another finger into Sabrina, stretching her, preparing her for him. Sabrina’s hips swiveled beneath him as he slid the fingers, three of them now, in and out of her, his pace teasingly slow, achingly slow, until she was throbbing with tension. Almost there.

He sucked his way off her clit and spoke loud enough for her to hear over the keening cries of the volunteer.

“I’m going to fuck you so hard when you’re done with her. I’m going to get my cock so far up in this pussy that you won’t know where you end and I begin, sweetness.” Then he went back to clit, his tongue flicking at the button, stabbing at it, until she let go and threw the woman off, her fingers buried in his hair as she rode his tongue.

He fucked her hard with his fingers, knowing she liked an edge of pain to her pleasure. It always got her off hard when he gave her just the biting hint of pain.

Sabrina’s back edged off the bed and the pair began to rise together as her body started to contract around him, her thighs encircled his head, matching the grasping suction of her pussy. Jacob went with it, not letting up on her as she went higher and higher, her body a writhing snake he could barely hang on to. She had really let go tonight.

His tongue toyed with her clit, the swelling organ fascinating him as she exploded, words falling from her lips that only he could understand, the tongue was so ancient.

“Fuck me, Jacob, oh baby, take me please.” She begged for his cock and he was more than willing to give it. He turned her, her legs opening for him as she hung suspended in the air. His cock nudged her opening, but he wanted to tease her. His left hand found her hip, pulling her to him and Jacob stroked her with the head of his cock, needing to hear more from her.

“How do you want it, baby? Tell me.” He edged the head into her opening, barely more than centimeters inside of her. She tried to move, to thrust down onto him, but he held her still with his hand on her hip. “No baby, tell me how you want it.”

“I want it hard, Jacob. Give it to me hard. Fuck my pussy until I can’t beg you for anymore. Please!”

Her naughty words thrilled him, made his toes curl, and he pushed a fraction deeper into her, despite wanting to be buried balls deep in her walls.

“Do you want me to tell you how good it feels to fuck you, Sabrina? How I love having my cock in you?”

“Yes! Tell me!” she panted, struggling to remain still but his other hand was in her hair now, holding her head up so he could see her face, even though she couldn’t see him.

“I wouldn’t leave if I didn’t have to. I have the filthiest fantasies about you when I should be working on budgets. I remember how you clench around me, your pussy clamping down like the greedy little monster it is. It’s a wonder I get anything done, thinking about you and this oh so fuckable pussy of yours, Sabrina.”

Her eyes, visible to him as he pulled her head around, were glazed with her need, with the pleasure he was giving her, and he knew she needed a little more to go over the edge once more. He’d go with her this time.

“Maybe tomorrow I’ll take you to that lounge room. The fuck room and fuck you in front of everyone. Let them see how eager you are for it, how much you love my dick.” His words weren’t about exploitation or humiliation, they were about getting Sabrina off. He knew she had a thing for public fucking, on top of everything else.

Telling her he was going to take her in public made her walls clamp down harder than he’d felt before and Jacob gave her just a little bit more of his cock as she mewled out a plea for more.

“Oh but baby, you haven’t even got the audience hard yet. They’re just sitting there, salivating over those fabulous tits of yours, wanting to suck those dark nipples. Fuck they’re sweet.” He thrust a little deeper, her dripping pussy taking every wide inch of him greedily. He could feel her walls trying to urge him deeper, trying to milk him deeper inside of her, but he held himself back, not letting himself go just yet.

“Maybe I’ll have you on your knees first, taking my cock between those pouty lips of yours. They’re so fabulously dirty, you know? I thought about them while jerking off in my office one night. You were asleep, exhausted, and I didn’t want to wake you so I went in there and thought about those lips and… ohhhhh!” He had to stop himself as he felt a shudder go down his spine, a shudder that went straight down his dick and into her. He watched as the muscles of her back responded, shivering the way his had.

“More, Jacob, more. Tell me more.” She panted the words, controlling herself a little better now.

“You’d take my cock out, and wrap those lips around the head, sucking me until my knees buckled. Then you’d swallow the rest of me, swallowing me straight down your throat.”

A little deeper, and Jacob had to suck in a deep breath. So fucking tight. So fucking gorgeous. And all his.

“You’d be such a good girl, Sabrina, you’d take me there in front of all of those people watching, you’d take your king’s cock like the good girl you are.”

One more thrust and every centimeter of his flesh was buried inside her. He paused as he took in the sensation of her pussy fluttering around him, her walls working him without either of them moving.

“Fuck you’re good, Sabrina.” He breathed the words as he pulled her up to a position where his cock was banging into her g-spot.

“Jacob!” She cried out his name, reaching behind her to grasp his hips.

“That’s it, baby, ride my dick.” He let her move, let her have her way with him, until they were both covered in a sweaty film from their exertions.

A glance down at the bed below them showed the volunteer had her eyes glued to them, her hands between her own legs as she pleasured herself. Jacob gave her a wink and thrust into Sabrina, giving her the wild ride she’d asked for, at last. Bending her forward, he fucked into the queen, his length stroking every inch of her inner walls.

The girl stood, steadied herself, and pulled Sabrina down to her face, tongue out and sucking before Sabrina even realized what was happening.

“They can look all they want, Sabrina, they can lick you, they can touch you, but I’m the only one that gets to fuck you. I’m the only one that gets that little bit of heaven. Mine.” He growled the words as he felt her insides start to quiver, and he worked his cock just a little deeper, claiming her.

“Yours, Jacob, only yours!” She agreed with a sob of pleasure as her body went rigid around him.

Jacob let go then, his hips flying as he fucked into her, Liza’s tongue flying on Sabrina’s clit, the royal couple spiraling in the air, Liza with them, as they flew with each other to a place where they rippled, where they shot, where pleasure was the only thing that existed.

Jacob gave her everything he had and she gave the same in return. A unit, one.

“I love you.” He croaked the words in her ear as he came back to the real world, his emotions finally freed.

“I love you, Jacob.” She whispered back. “For now and always.”

He knew she meant it, he knew she’d fight with him for eternity, for their right to claim each other. This was the real thing and though she might have to destroy him to create this new world of theirs, he knew she had not been wrong. Brave, foolish, perhaps even insane, but the gamble had been worth it to experience this, to feel this.

She’d taken his old life away but she’d given him an entirely new world and they would face it together. Jacob had lived his entire life in the shadows of his brothers, of his parents, of who and what he was. He’d been happy in those shadows, never truly wanting any more than what he had. A quiet, calm man, he’d been content with his lot in life. Sabrina had changed all that. She’d brought him into the very public life, she’d given him power far beyond anything he could have ever imagined because she thought he could save the world. So far, she’d proven herself right.

They’d won the battle against the Mungons, the magical world was at peace now, or as peaceful as it could be where magicals were involved. He had the world in the palm of his hand and he was already casting his gaze in the direction of the non-magical world, looking for ways to make the lives of the masses better without their knowledge. Most of all she’d given him love, the one thing neither had truly counted on.

What started as a bid to save their way of life had turned into a battle of wills but now they’d truly won it all. They would always win as long as they were together. The vampire queen and her vampire dragon-shifter king, forever.
