Vampire Enslavement (Lords of Bondage) (41 page)

Cabrian shrugged his shoulders. “We’ve an agreement. Cassia will pass the inspections regardless of what stains are found within her thighs and he gets you.”

Kiera glared at him in response. She sat on the bed and shifted uncomfortably. Every motion made her feel achy and empty. She resisted the urge to tear her clothes from her body and spread her legs in invitation. She would resist the effects of the heat as long as possible. At least until Modez returned for her. Cassia looked at her with a sympathetic expression. The Roman was lucky that she would never experience the agony of the hybrid heat cycle. The initial wave increased her libido and made her crave blood and sex. But now the cravings were turning into something more and it was both painful and pleasurable. And annoying. She didn’t want to feel this way. It was too intense and she hoped it would be over soon.

When Modez returned, Cabrian and Cassia’s room looked like a tornado had barreled through it. Broken pieces of pottery were strewn about the room and shards of glass were embedded into the walls. Cassia was nowhere in sight and Cabrian’s clothing was torn and bloody. “What the hell is going on in here?”

Cabrian ducked as a dagger sailed in the air, aimed directly at his head. “Help me out here. Gather up all the sharp objects you see along with anything else she can use as a weapon.”

Modez heard a growl behind him. He turned his head just as a ceramic pitcher forcefully impacted against his chest. The object lifted itself in the air and swung toward him a second time. “She’s invisible.” He grabbed a fistful of air before he managed to find flesh. Grabbing her by her arms, he hauled her up to his body. She moved like a wildcat, making it difficult for him to contain her. She sounded like an animal as well, the growling sounds something he was unaccustomed to hearing when dealing with young ladies. He carried her to the bed and pinned her underneath his weight. “I’ve got her. You may want to leave,” he said to Cabrian. He was taking over the overlord’s room, but he would understand the reason. Cabrian retrieved Cassia from the closet and left. Once alone, he turned his attention to the invisible woman underneath him. “Show yourself, Kiera.”

She struggled underneath him, but once she realized the futility of dislodging him, she stilled. He felt her fangs sinking into his flesh and she gulped from him in a violent, greedy fashion. He responded in kind. An equal exchange of blood would ensure both survived the night. It was a known fact that some males did not live through the Mating Periods.

He realized very quickly that she was naked. He tore off his trousers and settled against her. “Show yourself.” He wanted to see her face when he pushed inside her hot channel. She ignored his request. She arched against him, rubbing herself against his stiff length. When she let out a low moan, he slid inside her. She continued to drink from him while he plowed her sopping wet channel. She was taking too much blood and he felt lightheaded. Her passage was so hot, like a volcano, her juices burning like lava. Somehow it produced mind blowing pleasure with a hint of pain as her inner muscles gripped him impossibly tight. He tried to separate her fangs from his skin, but couldn’t. He had to make her come. He concentrated on the hard nub, rubbing it with his shaft and his fingers until spasms wracked her body. The orgasm forced her lips to open so she could scream out her pleasure, which saved him from being drained of blood. He thrust inside her until his body was spent and exhausted. He fell asleep with his cock still inside her. An hour later, the cycle began again. More feeding. More fucking. After the fourth round she was unable to maintain her invisibility. He could finally see her face. She was beautiful when she came.

Chapter 26

Cassia, garbed in a bed sheet, glanced toward their bed as Cabrian dragged her out of the closet. Modez was suspended in the air over the bed. That was what it looked like, but she knew he was on top of the now invisible Kiera. They would rut like crazy and would need time alone. She hoped to do something similar with Cabrian.

Cabrian opened the door to a spare chamber. It had a bed and they planned to make use of it.

Only it wasn’t vacant. Figures moved in the center of the bed. Cassia’s human eyes strained to make out the shapes in the darkness.

“What the fuck,” Cabrian said. “Shane McDonald, what are you doing with that human?”

Shane groaned and separated himself from the female. Cassia saw that the girl called Baby was sandwiched between two naked hybrid males. The hybrid behind Baby, who most likely was still lodged inside her, was the former gladiator Adonis. Shane pulled on a pair of trousers and approached Cabrian. “Visant and Seamus are gone so I’ve laid claim to the human. They were keeping her in my room, you know. Hiding her there.”

“And Adonis?”

Shane winced. “Baby was used to serving two males at the same time. I needed Adonis to watch her when I couldn’t, so I offered her to him. I thought it was only fair.”

Adonis pulled out of the human and pulled on his trousers. Baby sat on the bed, unabashed at her nakedness. When she saw Cassia, she held her head high. “You’re a slave, same as me,” Baby told Cassia. “And these vampires are much better in bed than those Romans. You’d have to agree. Your precious Janus had his prick in me every chance he got, and for that matter, so had Flavian. I hated it, I did. But these vamps really appreciate me. They’ve been taking really good care of me and I don’t mind taking care of them.”

It turned her stomach to know that her ex-husband and stepbrother had forced themselves on this girl, but it didn’t surprise her. They had been complete scum. “Janus and Flavian are dead. It’s best not to speak of them.” Doing so brought back horrible memories.

“You have to be more careful.” Cabrian was clearly agitated. “Anyone could have stumbled into this room and caught the two of you with that human. If it had been anyone else, your human would be killed.”

“I know that.” Shane appeared defensive. “I had been keeping her in my room, but they moved Tully in with me after he got into a fight with Gryphon. You know we can’t trust that hybrid because he does everything Diermont says. Adonis shares his room with six other hybrids. We’ve been looking for a safe spot for her.”

“I recommend you take her from the villa.”

“No, we can’t do that. We don’t have anywhere to take her.” Shane glanced back at Baby and frowned. “I was thinking I could get another hybrid to host her, one who has a private chamber. Baby will serve three as easily as she serves two. She really doesn’t mind.”

Cassia thought she saw Baby smile. Really, the former servant girl had turned into the biggest whore. She’d probably service the entire villa if asked. She must not have hid her scorn, as Baby responded with a show of attitude.

“Yes, I spread my legs for these vamps the same as you do, Cassia Maximus. Don’t act like you’re better than me.” Her lips formed into a pout. “Mistress Maximus had me doing gross stuff like scrubbing floors and wiping asses. Fucking these gorgeous vampires is a lot more fun.”

“I’m sure it is. I didn’t mean to criticize you.” Cassia knew she shouldn’t judge the poor girl. She had been raised in luxury, unlike Baby, even though she hadn’t always been given the silver spoon.

Cabrian met Shane’s eyes and shook his head. “It’s way too risky to house a human underneath Diermont’s nose.”

“I was thinking that Lord Halloran wouldn’t mind helping us,” Shane said. “He has a private room and nobody messes with him. Diermont wouldn’t think to search his room.”

“Lord Halloran has his hands full right now with personal matters.”

“Like what?”

Cabrian responded with a shake of the head to make it clear he wasn’t going to disclose that information. “You should be careful who you ask for help. The person could just as easily turn you in to Diermont. Harboring a human is a punishable offense.”

Cassia listened to the rest of the conversation. She worried for Baby. The other human wasn’t a breeder and Diermont would order her killed if he discovered her existence. Baby seemed unconcerned with the danger.

Eventually Cabrian grabbed her hand and they left the chamber. “Since Modez is using our room, I guess we’ll just have to use his.”

Cassia nodded. Soon they were inside Lord Halloran’s private chamber. Cabrian unwrapped the blanket from her body, leaving her naked. “I need to tell you something first.” She knew she would get too distracted by his touch if she waited.

Cabrian pulled his trousers from his body. “Okay. Tell me quick.”

“I received a note. It said I would be rescued.” She briefly described the note, including how it had disintegrated magically. “I also gained some information from Baby. She said a hybrid dressed in a costume and mask helped Lucine escape. I didn’t think much of it until I heard there was a traitor inside the villa. I think Baby could identify him.”

That definitely got Cabrian’s attention. “You should have told me sooner.”

“I know. I thought about doing so a hundred times. But I worried that Baby would be tortured. I’ve seen how Diermont goes about his information gathering.” The most gruesome tortures had been conducted in this villa. Cassia could still hear their screams in her nightmares.

“I’m glad you shared this with me. It means a lot, more than you can imagine, that you came to me with this.” Cabrian pulled her into his arms and ran his hands down her body. “It means you’re switching your loyalties. To me. As you should, since I will be your mate.”

“Yes, I am loyal to you.” She accepted his kiss, anticipating even more what would come next. She had missed sharing intercourse with him. The feel of his cock was so much better than the feel of his hand. His shaft thumped against his stomach, hard and ready.

“I’ll be careful. I’ll pull out.”

It was really happening. They were going to violate Diermont’s human-hybrid ban on sexual relations. She put her hands on his shaft and stroked him a few times before he managed to push her hands away. He was overly cautious about the risk of staining.

Soon she was on her back and he was on top of her. Pushing inside her. The mattress was soft underneath her as he began to move inside her. She held him between her thighs and arched to meet his thrusts. The beginnings of an orgasm sent her on an upward spiral. She offered her throat to him, wanting him to finally bite her. It was frustrating, waiting for him to make her his. Her asshole of an ex-husband had committed to her more quickly than this. Cabrian took her throat, but only drank from her. He didn’t use his mating fangs. It was a disappointment but she tried not to let it show. He had his reasons for delaying. She wanted to respect them and not act like a clingy, jealous, and overly possessive psycho-bitch female. The waves of euphoria washed through her and Cabrian pulled out, spilling his seed onto the covers. Far away from Cassia. She felt deprived, knowing that Kiera was getting the full experience with Modez. But she told herself to be patient. When they mated, there would be hours upon hours of marathon sex.

Cabrian cleaned himself up with a washrag before returning to her. He removed the covers with the speed of a chariot racer and placed them on the floor of a closet. He then proceeded to inspect her body with excruciating scrutiny. “I don’t think any got on you.”

He was so afraid he would leave her with staining, despite his agreement with Modez that she would pass every examination regardless of the color of her skin. “It’s okay, Cabrian.”

He held his head in his hands. “We shouldn’t have done this. What if I had left stains? Diermont could at any time perform the examinations himself.”

She held him in her arms. “Relax. It’s okay. You worry too much.”

He sighed. “I cannot lose you, Cassia. We shouldn’t risk your life.”

“Even for great sex?”

He smiled. “You felt unimaginably good.”

“And we’ll continue to be together like this. You said yourself there were no stains. You have such excellent control.” Cassia wouldn’t have been able to stop herself from coming, but somehow he had. “It will be okay.” She knew he was worried, but it wouldn’t take much to convince him to violate that ban again. Eventually, he would give her that bite she craved, the one that would make her his mate. She had felt his mating fangs scrape her neck as he had fed from her. Those fangs wanted to penetrate her. She could tell. And when his cock was inside her, those fangs wanted to be inside her too. She took his hand and squeezed. The overly cautious male would be brought to heel. She would make it happen.

Chapter 27

Kiera woke with a heavy weight on top of her. She stretched but couldn’t move more than an inch under Modez’s big body. She pressed her nails into his skin and wiggled underneath him, trying to wake him. He stirred, and as his cock swelled inside her, she realized they were still joined. He started moving inside her. The nails cutting into his skin seemed to only encourage him, making him pump at an accelerated rate. Before she had a chance to say a word, he was ejaculating inside her. Like he had too many times to count last night. He collapsed on top of her, still not withdrawing from her well-used sheath. As enjoyable as it had been, she was ready to take a break. She wanted to take a relaxing dip in the bathhouse. Her stomach was growling and breakfast was sounding good to her right now. “Get off me, Modez.”

He opened a heavy eyelid. “Why? Do you need to take a piss or something?”

Well, now that he had made mention of it…yes. “I’m hungry and I feel all sweaty and dirty.” The smell of sex still hung in the air. This was Cabrian and Cassia’s room. Their bed. Her face heated when she imagined how the overlord would feel when he saw the mess they had made of their bed.

“You’re in heat. We fed each other all night long, baby. You took my blood and I took yours.”

She remembered ravaging him like a wild beast. She was glad she hadn’t killed him by accident. One of her cousins had woken to a corpse during her last two heats. “I want food in my belly. Some scrambled eggs and bacon would be nice.”
