Chapter 12 Cedar
Cedar
Inside, it was as if my magic was a lazy cat, slowly stretching out after a long nap.
Outside, my magic exploded. It enveloped both Aurelia and Vesper, red tendrils circling around their bodies and forcing us together.
An awakening. The power made my head spin. But it was also angry.
It protected my lovers but destroyed everything else. The flimsy table and chairs crashed into the wall, breaking on impact. The door, surprisingly enough, took the impact and held.
Vesper and Aurelia's bodies were pressed against me, holding on for dear life. I could feel something building in my chest with each gulp of blood that went down my throat.
A rush of emotions filtered inside me, none of them my own. But instead of feeling like a parasite worming its way into my chest, it felt… Like home.
Aurelia. I could feel her settling, like a part of her being was plucked out from her and placed inside me. She nestled up to my magic with ease, sinking into it like it was a warm blanket.
Contentment.
Surprise.
Satisfaction.
“Cedar,” Vesper groaned behind me. “Reel it in or—”
“Bite me,” I breathed, my gaze on Aurelia, and I felt it in my chest before I saw it flash in her eyes.
She wants us.
She had been hiding behind that cruel mask of hers, but I saw right through it. Now, with the bond, I had a direct link to her true feelings. Her blood was sweet and a bit spicy, just like her personality. It coated my tongue and throat and warmed my belly.
Vesper's teeth grazed my throat, and the world slowed, the three of us moving together as the bond solidified in my chest.
When Vesper finally buried her teeth in my neck, our princess let out the most sinful gasp.
Pain played at my senses. I knew ingesting vampire blood was painful for mortals, and even as a witch, I could still feel a bit of it. My magic was working overtime, trying to burn off the feeling, only to be overwhelmed as Vesper pumped her venom into me.
I lowered Aurelia’s wrist, and she immediately moved it behind me, pulling Vesper closer, forcing her fangs deeper.
I was unable to hold in my gasp.
“That's right,” the princess cooed. “Sink them in, pump the venom into her veins.” Her voice was husky, telling me she was just as affected as I was. “Are you happy now?”
Her face came close enough that our lips were almost touching. I tried to close the space between us, but she pulled back ever so slightly, just out of my reach.
The most humiliating whine fell from my lips, and Aurelia tilted her head.
“Oh, my poor witch. So neglected. Has Vesper not been treating you right?”
Vesper growled, the vibration spreading from the place where my back and her chest met. In my wanton state, I couldn't help but arch into her, wanting more than just her fangs in me.
“We've been waiting for you,” I moaned.
The sharp tick of satisfaction I felt told me just how much she liked to hear that, just as she placed her other hand on my chest, right where the bond was, and slipped it inside my shirt.
I groaned as her fingers brushed over my nipple. She started teasing me, rolling the sensitive bud between her fingers, but when she moved her hand down, it got caught on the buttons.
Without thinking, I ripped my shirt open for her.
“So desperate,” she said with a little chuckle that had my toes curling.
Vesper pulled her fangs from me with a roar, and I felt hot blood drip down my neck.
“Put me out of my misery, Princess.”
Her lips twitched.
“Who’s begging now?”
Vesper’s hands moved to explore my chest while Aurelia’s fingers slowly made their way into my pants.
My breathing deepened. The pleasure, even from such light touches, was setting me on fire. My head was spinning, my body yearning for more.
There was only one thing that would take away this pain.
Being filled.
By both of them.
“I need you,” I gasped. “Both of you.”
My cunt was so swollen and needy that the first time Aurelia’s fingers brushed against my clit had me crying out. Vesper’s hand followed, guiding her fingers to my entrance.
“Lean back into me. Spread your legs,” Vesper commanded with a growl.
“Princess, on your knees,” I ordered and let them undo my pants.
“Anything for my bonded.”
Aurelia fell to the ground with a thud. Her dress was so tight that it rode up, showing me her legs as she knelt for me.
It was intoxicating to watch her below me, her breasts spilling out of her top and her thighs bared to me.
Once my pants were off, she positioned herself between my legs.
“This seems like a lot more than only one favor,” she teased.
My hand tangled in her hair, and I pushed her mouth to my pussy.
“Lick, Brat. I want to send you back to your husband with my cum smeared on your lips. When he kisses you, I want him to taste me.”
I swear I felt her smirk against my cunt. But when her lips circled my clit and began the slow, sucking motion, I lost myself.
Vesper kept her end of the deal, holding me with her vampire strength. Placing one leg between mine, she pulled me back, opening me even further for our princess.
Then her fingers came into play, spreading my folds so Aurelia had complete access to me. At that point, she was the only thing holding me up. My knees would have given out if not for her.
My first orgasm hit me without warning. I was so focused on feeling both of them and the bond igniting inside me that I didn’t notice it creeping up on me.
I cursed as I came, losing my balance entirely when Vesper shifted, and my hand shot forward to catch myself on the wall.
“What the fuck—”
Vesper’s hands pulled the rest of my shirt off so she could leave hot kisses on my back.
“Perfect,” Aurelia purred, her lips right at my clit. Her fingers teased my entrance. “Cedar, tell our hunter what you want.”
I was going to, but I lost my train of thought when she resumed sucking. I was annoyed that she was trying to control the situation, so I tangled my hand in her hair and guided her where I wanted her.
“Tell me what you want,” Vesper whispered against my skin.
“Fill me, together.”
Her hum of approval had me lighting up inside, and then her fingers trailed my back, lower and lower, until they were able to slip between my legs and—
“Oh gods,” I forced out, and I could feel their laughter against my skin where their mouths were touching me.
“No gods are coming to save you now,” Vesper whispered in my ear.
Both had two fingers inside me, letting me get used to the feeling before they started moving them in tandem.
The bond was roaring to life between Aurelia and me, and I was loving every single moment. It strengthened the longer we were connected. My magic had calmed down, becoming a constant low hum that surrounded us.
Complete. For the first time since the three of us got together, I felt complete.
“Is our princess a woman of her word?” Vesper asked from behind me, her fangs teasing my back.
“She has a long way to go,” I said breathlessly, earning a glare from her as she continued to suck on my clit like a good brat. “But this is a good start.”
I wasn’t going to last much longer. My second orgasm was rising as my cunt squeezed their fingers.
Together, they plunged deeper, deeper than ever before, and when Aurelia curled her fingers, I threw my head back.
It overtook me.
This time, my magic didn’t hold back. It expanded, throwing the already destroyed room into further disarray.
I held onto the feeling of the three of us for a long moment, forgetting everything that brought us here. If I closed my eyes, maybe I could imagine we were back in Atlas’s place together.
But that wasn’t real.
Aurelia stood, and I leaned back, my eyes falling to her lips, waiting for… something? She hadn’t touched Vesper, and she was her bonded too. But she just shook her head, almost as if she knew what I was thinking.
“Your favor is paid in full, witch,” she said, and just as she was about to turn away, she paused. “And I’m not a princess anymore. I’m—”
But the word wouldn’t come.
“You’ll always be our bratty princess,” I offered.
With a huff, she took off, slamming the door behind her, leaving only Vesper and me, both of us unmoving for a while. I knew Vesper had to be hurting, dying for her too, so I didn’t say anything.
Until her hands wrapped around me, her lips at my ear.
“She’s still ours.”
I swallowed down the hurt of her leaving and nodded.
“Ours.”
