Steal the Sun (29 page)

Dev was breathing deeply in, luxuriating in the arousal he was pulling out of me. “Ask away. I’m sure you’ll find her perfectly truthful now that her scheme is over.”

Dev started placing chaste kisses all over my wet flesh, and I whimpered because I needed a hell of a lot more than his lips. I wanted to beg him to use his tongue on me, but it wouldn’t do any good. Dev was going to enjoy his bit of torture, and the truth was I did like to be told what to do in bed. I loved it when they tied me up and I had no control over what they did. I knew it only worked because I loved and trusted the men I slept with. I certainly didn’t want them telling me what to do outside of the bedroom, but the thought of submitting to their desires always made me wet.

“Why don’t you explain how you thought running around in the middle of the night with the Hunter would help Dev?” Daniel asked, catching my eyes. He stood in the deepest part of the stream, the water up to his waist.

“There was an ogre in the forest.” I tried to fight the instinct to move against Dev’s mouth. I bit my lip as he used the tip of his tongue to delicately flick at my engorged clit. Dev’s fingers came up to play with my nipples, sending shots of pleasure/pain through my system. “Herne told me he thought it was what the
bean si
were talking about. He told me I was the only one who could help.”

Dev stopped what he was doing and looked at me expectantly.

“Sir,” I added quickly, hoping it would placate Dev and he would go back to what he had been doing.

Dev gave me a look that told me to behave and rewarded me with a long, luxurious stroke of his tongue. I was already so wet. All I needed was a little suck, maybe some firm pressure, and I would go off like a rocket.

“How were you supposed to help Herne?” Daniel asked. “I would think if he wanted backup in fighting an ogre, he would come to me.”

I should have lied. I should have, at the least, massaged the truth a bit, but Dev was distracting me with his teeth and his tongue. His fingers spread open my labia so he could taste every centimeter and I just answered without thinking. “Turns out I was bait.”

Dev’s head came up, and I didn’t like the expression on his face. His eyes darkened, his jaw forming a stubborn line.

“I was bait, sir,” I tried.

He turned and started to stalk out of the pool. I had a strong suspicion where he was planning to go, and I didn’t like his odds in that fight.

I scrambled down from my perch and wrapped my hands around his waist to stop him. “Danny, help me. He’s going to go do that thing where he slaps the shit out of someone and then they fight.”

He’d started the process with his brother when we were all in Colorado. It was apparently a traditional way to resolve differences in Faery.

“Why the hell would he do that?” Danny had his arms over his chest, a fierce frown on his face.

Dev stopped and turned, utterly ignoring the fact that I was still hanging on to his waist. He just moved like my weight was no concern to him. “That man tried to use our wife as bait for an ogre. I cannot let that go unanswered. I will challenge Herne for what he did.”

“And he’ll kill you.” I looked desperately at Daniel, who just stood there. I was pretty sure that Herne’s god could kick Dev’s god’s ass. If it had been a competition based on sexual prowess, Bris could win hands down, but this was combat and he was a lover, not a fighter.

“What’s up with you, man? Ever since we got here you’ve been acting like some fucking eighteenth century gentleman,” Daniel complained. “Did this asshole inform us of his intentions to sacrifice our wife? Did he give us fair warning? Why the hell would you make a public announcement of his future ass-kicking? What happened to the man who didn’t play fair? You never have with me. I don’t expect you to do it now.”

“What do you suggest?” Dev asked.

Daniel’s fangs had popped out, a sure sign of his rage. “Well, I thought I’d give him a day or two to feel comfortable then we can jump him when those dogs of his aren’t around. I intend to beat him to death, unless that will start a war, then I’ll think about leaving him alive but I assure you, his balls won’t work after I cut them off and shove them down his fucking throat. Or we could have some pansy-ass duel that will probably get you killed and fulfill the prophecy Z was trying to avert.”

“Fine. You’re right. Don’t you dare jump him without me,” Dev said and his body relaxed against mine, content that he would have his revenge. He turned back to me. “Did I give you permission to leave your place?”

“No, sir.” I rushed to get back to where I was supposed to be. I shot Daniel a grateful look. I was comfortable with Dev beating on Herne if Daniel was there to make sure he was all right. I tried to remember exactly how he had me and my hands brushed against my pussy. Dev slapped at them.

“None of that,” he said, pulling my hands firmly to the side. “That belongs to us.”

I smiled. “Yes, sir.”

“Daniel, turn around,” Dev commanded, picking up the soap again. “You have something all over your back. It’s probably some distant relative of mine.”

My mouth started to water and I was sure my eyes were as wide as saucers as Danny turned around and allowed Dev to run his hands across the skin of his back. Dev’s strong hands ran down Daniel’s spine and I couldn’t help my reaction. Dev soaped his back, carefully cleaning him. They were so fucking gorgeous together that everything below my waist tightened.

Daniel’s head came up, and I knew he had caught my sudden interest. “Seriously, Z? This gets you hot?”

I could only nod my head as I watched.

“Is our wife having those thoughts again?” Dev asked, brushing his hands across Daniel’s broad shoulders and pronouncing him finally clean.

“You can’t tell? I can smell it from here.” Daniel practically growled. “And her heart is beating like a race horse.”

“Should we try an experiment?” Dev suggested.

Daniel looked at him, wary. “Are we ready for that?”

“Nothing too out there,” Dev promised. “I just want to see if our wife is interested or if she just thinks she is.”

I could have just told them the answer to that question. I was really interested, but I kept my mouth closed because I wanted to see what Dev had planned. He had a creative mind, and I liked to watch a master at work.

Dev walked over to where the soap had been. There was a small tray with soap and washcloths and a straight razor. I was sure Dev had already used the razor as his face was perfectly smooth. He picked it up now and turned back to Daniel. “One of the perks of being a fertility god is knowing what turns people on. I knew from the moment I met Zoey that she needed some light, playful domination. As a man who enjoys dominating a woman, I was more than willing to provide the service. Don’t think I don’t know what you want, Daniel.”

He brought the edge of the razor to his perfect lips and quickly drew it across his mouth in a shallow cut that had blood welling out of it.

Daniel’s reaction was immediate. He was in front of Dev before I could see him move. He crowded Dev, their bodies close but not quite touching.

“You are a bastard, Dev,” he growled and I watched him try to control his lust.

“Don’t, Danny,” I begged, moving again. “You promised not to hide anymore. It isn’t wrong.”

I moved in behind him. They were standing so close, and I knew if I could break through this, I might get what I wanted. I wanted them to love each other as much as they loved me. I wanted a true threesome. I wanted them to enjoy each other and I didn’t see why that was bad or wrong. We loved each other. We were faithful to each other.

“Fuck,” Daniel cursed right before slamming his mouth over Dev’s.

I moved to the side where I had the best view of the action. I placed a hand on each of my boys and watched as Daniel’s tongue lapped up the blood running to Dev’s chin. He ran his tongue from just where Dev’s neck met his chin, upward to the cut on his lip. There was nothing soft or sweet about it. He was dominating Dev, his hand running up to Dev’s hair and sinking in so he couldn’t move. He pulled Dev’s bottom lip into his mouth and sucked deeply. Dev groaned and I felt his hand reach down to cup my ass and pull me in closer even as Daniel’s hands held his head still.

Dev’s fingers were hot on my skin, and I felt the tingle of his magic start. That hot lust rolled over my skin, and I couldn’t imagine what it was doing to Daniel. He wasn’t just crowding Dev at this point. Their bodies were flush, chests and hips touching. The water was sitting at their waists, but it was clear and I was close enough to see those big cocks nestled together. Danny sucked at Dev’s lips, his lips and tongue drawing up that sweet blood.

“It’s not enough,” Daniel growled and turned Dev around forcefully.

He held Dev firmly against his chest with one hand and wrapped the other in his dark hair, forcing his head to the side. I moved to Dev’s front and let my hands wrap all the way around his body to clasp Daniel’s waist. My nipples were hard nubs against Dev’s chest and his hands came up to play.

“I think she wants it, Dan,” Dev said with a decadent laugh. His cock was hard as a rock, and it moved restlessly against my belly. The air was so thick with lust and magic I could barely breathe.

Daniel was past talking. He looked at me, his blue eyes a dark promise that I would get mine later, and he sank those fangs into Dev’s neck. He held Dev still as his throat worked, feeding, drinking Dev down so he would walk around all night with Dev’s blood pumping through his body.

Dev’s fingers tightened on my nipples and he panted. “Zoey, wrap your hand around me. Stroke me.”

I did as he asked and reached down between us. He was so hard I couldn’t make my fingers meet when I held him. I pumped his cock in my hand, lusty magic rolling across my skin.

“Suck me harder,” Dev commanded as he put his hand over mine and started to rub his cock forcefully. “I’m not Zoey, Daniel. I can handle it. I want it. I want you to be rough with me. I’ll fucking love it.”

Daniel groaned and I saw him sink his fangs in deeper and draw harder than he ever could with me. His eyes rolled back as he enjoyed letting his instincts lead him for once. He was always so careful with me, treating me with a delicacy he didn’t use with Dev. Dev gave him something I couldn’t. Dev wouldn’t break. He wasn’t as strong as Daniel, but he was strengthened by the god inside him.

Dev’s hand tightened impossibly on mine as he raced toward orgasm. “Faster, Zoey, I’m going to come. Please, don’t fight me.”

I relaxed my hand and just let him use it. Within ten strokes, I felt him jerk against me and his magic washed through the room. Daniel released his vein, his hands going around Dev’s chest as he held him up.

“Told you she wanted it,” Dev said to his partner with a sigh. He didn’t fight Daniel, simply allowed him to drag him along.

Daniel set Dev’s boneless form down on the marbled steps. “Can you sit? I don’t want you to drown. I’ll be damned if you die because I took too much.” He stared at the spot on Dev’s neck where the puncture marks were already healing. He reached out, touching them as if to reassure himself.

Dev’s hands came up, covering Daniel’s. “It would be a good way to die, but you would never hurt me. I know that. She knows that. You have to learn that. We trust you.”

“Then be ready for more of that because it felt fucking good.” He turned to me and his beast was loose. His eyes were sapphires burning through me. He held a single hand out. “Come to me, companion.”

I didn’t hesitate. Daniel rarely allowed his dark half to take over. I’d seen this pure vampire side of Daniel only a few times before, usually when he was close to death. In the years since, I’ve learned so much about vampires. The beast, as I like to call it, comes out when the vampire’s instincts take over like in times when he’s fighting for his life or when he’s protecting his precious blood. A vampire is a deeply possessive creature, and Daniel felt that this particular evening. At first he’d been scared of losing Dev and then me, and now he needed to put his stamp on both of us, needed to know we belonged to him and we were both alive and warm and ready for him.

None of those instincts mattered to me. I loved him. That was all that counted. I rushed through the warm water to get to him. He pulled me close and his hands tangled in my hair. He lowered his mouth to mine and when his fangs nicked me, he just groaned and lapped up the little blood before plunging his tongue in.

I wrapped my arms around him and held on for dear life. Daniel lifted my legs up until I was supported by his strong hands and he shoved his way inside me. I let my head fall forward as he physically moved my body up and down on his cock. I steadied myself on his shoulders as he plunged his dick in to the hilt.

“God, Z, how do you stay so fucking tight?” he asked, walking to the side of the pool and shoving my back against it. He stroked deeply inside me as he brought his mouth down to mine. He kissed me so sweetly I almost didn’t notice as Dev pushed his way behind me.

“Hello, lover,” he whispered in my ear. I felt his chest at my back, and he was ready to go again. Even as Daniel pumped into me and groaned, Dev ran his hand down my back toward my ass. “Know that if the healer hadn’t said we couldn’t, I would be fucking this sweet ass right now. We want to take you at the same time. It’s all we talk about. You’ll be so full with both of us inside you. We’ll be able to feel each other, too.” He slipped his hand between me and Danny and unerringly found that cluster of nerves that made up my clitoris. He rubbed firmly and my head fell back as I came. “We’re going to rub against each other even as we fuck you, wife.”

Daniel’s strokes lost their regularity as he bucked against me, coming in hot jets of semen. He bit into my neck and sent me over the edge again before the first one had even stopped. As we both came down, he moved softly against me as he licked the wound in my neck closed.

Dev laughed behind me and held me close, which was good because I didn’t feel like standing up. Danny went down on his knees and rested his head on my belly as he wrapped his arms around me. We stayed like that for the longest time, just feeling connected and happy together. After a while, Daniel got back on his feet and he looked at me and Dev, a light happiness in his eyes.
