Taboo Kisses (24 page)

As Gryphon slowly rose from his seat, Gabriel offered his wrist to Maximus. “Take
some from me, you stubborn-ass fool.”

“I’m good.”

“Take his blood, Maximus.
” On the heels of rejecting her, his hardheadedness pissed her off. “
Your magic is down. You need it.”

“I’m good.”

Sameya hooked her fingers beneath the
collar
Maximus put around her neck less than
a day
ago. A small twist and the choker burst into dust.
Alarm widening his eyes,
Gabriel step
ped
toward her. She held out her hand to halt his step.
“I’m not walking away.
At least not yet
.”

“Sameya.”
Panic flared on
her vampyr’s
sallow
features
. He attempted to rise, but his arms shook so badly his ass never left the
seat
.

“Your magic is down
, Maximus.
Take what Gabriel is offering or I walk.” Dismissing her men, she grabbed a fistful
of Gryphon’s shirt and tugged him to the cage. “Inside
you bastard
.”

“It’s steel.” Gryphon
trembled,
horror glazing his eyes
.

“Ye
s
. And it’ll burn like hell
, too
, but it’s
not half the horror you committed against
Maximus
or, I’m certain, you planned to do to me
.
So consider yourself lucky I’m not
torturing you
as retribution.
”
The griffin
wanted her, so he’d
brutalized
her mates. For what reason? To make her suffer?
That c
ouldn’t be
the reason
, or not entirely
because he’d nearly killed Maximus without her present to witness
the atrocity
.

Chapter
Nineteen

Gabriel wanted out of this home, but Maximus needed to rejuvenate a little before
they could depart. Sameya might be in control of the situation now, but he remained
on alert.

“
Is
Maximus
improving
?” Sameya asked when
he
entered Gryphon’s kitchen. She was seated at the table with a map spread out before
her
, her long hair tangled across her back and the iron dress. The slinky dress was sexy
on her, but the garment’s intentions were heinous.

“He’s resting, but much improved. Why haven’t you changed clothes?”
With n
othing better to do, h
e opened the refrigerator and studied the contents.

“Kat
took
a vehicle and
went
to get me something decent to wear.”

Decent was Sameya naked, legs spread and either his or Maximus’
s
dick stuffed inside her. Shutting the refrigerator, he turned and leaned against
it. “What are you doing?”

“I found this in Gryphon’s study.
It’s a map of Atlantis, along with blueprints of the palace, with the weaknesses highlighted.
I’m assuming they’re possible entry points for when the rebels plan
to overthrow
Empress E’Neskha
.”

He joined her at the table and studied the map
and
schematics
for a coup
. “
She sent you to earth for a purpose, didn’t she?”

Sameya nodded.
“
We know there is a rebellion brewing. There was Intel someone on the outside is working
with Atlantians. I couldn’t figure out why, but now I
think I
get
it
. The Intel was to drive me out of Atlantis and further weaken Empress E’Neskha. If
Gryphon managed to defeat me,
that would be
a major victory for the rebellion.
”

What she said frightened him. It meant she was in even greater peril than Tyrone Gryphon
had presented.
Gabriel jerked her up upright. “
Sameya, the danger you place yourself in terrifies me.”

“I’m old, Gabriel. Very old. I’m good at reaping
,
and protecting my Empress. You worry for no reason.”

“Gryphon endangered you!” When he realized
his fingertips had turned white where he held her arms,
he relaxed his grip.

“I was never in any
real
danger. Only you and Maximus
were.”

“We must protect you, Sameya. It’s our job as your mate
s
.”

She
smiled;
her eyes alight as she pulled him down to kiss him softly on the lips. “Gabriel,
that’s a two-way job. As your mate, I must protect you and Maximus.” He growled at
her. “Aren’t you cantankerous tonight.”

No doubt, he was short-tempered. He’d almost lost Maximus and Sameya had saved them
all. For an alpha tiger that warred with his primal need to guard his mates.
“Bend over the table.”

“I beg your pardon?”

Gabriel
ran his thumb back and forth across her bottom lip
. “I
’ll
remov
e
the butt plug.”

“Oh.”

“Unless someone
removed
it already.” He’d kill the motherfucker
who
touched her
so intimately
.

“No.” Sameya licked her lips and
ogled
at his mouth. “It’s still…in place.”

“If you’re still horny from Maximus’
s
brief fucking, I can finish you.”

Her gaze slashed to his
,
and he almost laughed at her shock.

“Without Maximus?”

“I finished him
off
while I put him to bed.”

“Without me.”
The corners of her eyes crinkled as she bit her lip. He didn’t think she realized
how exposed her emotions were at the moment.

“Are you jealous?” Gabriel curled an arm around her waist and drew her closer. The
way she felt against him was perfect. “You really have no need to feel insecure. He
didn’t want to leave you earlier.”

She nuzzled her face against his chest. “Who fucked who?”

“
I sucked him
.
He c
rashed asleep afterward.” Lips skimming across her temple, he ran a hand down her
spine. “Release my slacks
,
and I’ll give you a quickie. We both need it, Sameya. It’ll calm us a little.” God
knew his tiger was wild inside him
and claiming her would go a long way in calming his beast
, even if it was bad timing. They’d been taken because she couldn’t defend herself
after climaxing.

“I hope no one walks in,” she said as she unfastened his pants.

Gabriel
enjoyed being watched
.

“Or danger approaches
again like last time
.” She closed her eyes and released a slow breath. “I coated the room in a serenade.
That should protect us for a short time.”

“I’ll make it fast, but damn good.”
Gripping her ass with both of his hands, h
e lifted her and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He lowered her down on his
cock and had her anchored against the refrigerator before he was completely
seated
inside her.

“Fuck, Maximus is right. You’re
ridiculously
tight with the dildo in you.”

“Feels good.”

His dick jerked. “It’ll feel better when it’s both of us inside you.”

He
reached around and clicked the button on the toy to the high
est
speed. She moaned, her cunt clenching around him
, while the vibrations tickled
the underside of
his cock
.

Taking a moment to enjoy
being inside her wet sheath, h
e
kissed
her
as the
sex-toy
whirred away inside her.

“I can taste Maximus on your lips,” she said against his mouth, her fingers on his
jaw.

She tried to shift her hips against him, but the way he held her, she was incapable
of movement.
Just the way he wanted her.

“I’m not ready to move yet
, Sameya
. I won’t last long.”

She
wound her fingers in his hair and jerked his head back to meet her gaze. “Gabriel
,
fuck me. Hard enough I’ll feel it later and have a reminder
you and Maximus are
alive.”

“Oh, baby.” He lifted a hand off her ass and palmed her cheek.
“I’m sorry you were frightened and that we didn’t protect you as we should’ve.”

“Talk later. Fuck me now.”

He smiled, liking her in this
mode
. H
e placed his hand back on her butt and spread her cheeks
. Flexing his hip, he pulled all the way out of her and slammed back inside to the
hilt. He repeated the motions, fucking her
hard, rocking the refrigerator with his
drives
.
It was the first time he’d taken her face-to-face and there was a lot to be said for
this position. He could see her face, watch her eyes dilate
,
and he’d
get the satisfaction of watching
her come
while he was in her
.

Gripping his shoulders tight,
Sameya
whimpered and moaned for him
, h
er pussy squeezing him until he feared he’d blow before she came. Another hard thrust,
bottoming out inside her, and she climaxed with a cry, throwing her head back against
the appliance. Her entire body vibrated with the release
,
and
he groaned at the way her cunt squeezed his cock through her orgasm.

Her eyes were closed when he rammed home and joined her, releasing deep into her womb.
He nuzzled her neck. The mini twitches plaguing her body testifying to the enormity
of her pleasure.

He kissed her cheeks and nose.
As he carried her to the table, he d
ragged his chin along her jaw. He settled her on her feet, turned her to face the
map spread on the table,
and
then pushed her over
onto
it. He kissed one butt-cheek and bit the other.

Gaze honed
on
her ass, he spread her cheeks and watched as he slowly removed the sex-toy from her
bottom. She whimpered as the widest part exited her
tight forbidden territory
.

He pushed the dildo back inside her and it penetrated her with ease. She moaned, her
fingers balling the map into her fists. He fucked her a few more times with the toy
. “Your body has adjusted easily
to the dildo
.
You’ll enjoy the fullness even better when it’s us inside you.
”

Gabriel went to his knees and licked her folds as he pumped the
toy
into her. She quivered, the sounds of her enjoyment exquisite.

“Do you like the way the toy feels
as I fuck you with it
, Sameya?”

“Yes.” Her voice was husky and he wanted to bury his tongue inside her pussy and fuck
her with the vibrator until she came again. “I….” She panted, her hips flexing in
tiny little jerks.

“Go on.” He flicked the ti
p of his tongue across her clit
.

“I enjoy everything you and Maximus do to me,” she said in a rush.

Why’d she hesitate to
confess
that? Because she didn’t want to admit how they made her feel? Her reservations
remained
too elevated
for his peace of mind
.

He removed the toy
,
and s
he whimpered when it left her body for good.

Unable to resist the inclination, he licked her anus and she cried out as he continued
to rim her with his tongue.
She was so sensitive. Everywhere they touched excited her. She excited him.

She was a
rou
sed again
,
and he knew he could take her once more. Instead,
he
slithered his tongue from her rosebud, through her folds, tasting his semen on her.
He licked and rotated around her clitoris, and
Sameya groaned when he suckled
on
her sweet nub
.
