Chapter 6 – Ava Jade
AVA JADE
I ran through the dappled moonlight, my bare feet flying over uneven terrain. A laugh grew in my chest, and I couldn’t fully contain it as it slipped past my lips. I’d missed this.
The sensation of flying as the still-warm Cali night air coursed over my body, twisting and braiding my long hair into a tangle. The exertion. The burn in my legs. So potent. So fucking perfect.
Another laugh escaped.
Shit .
They’d hear me.
My pursuers were close behind me, but they’d never catch me, not unless I wanted them to. And honestly? I did want them to. But I had to at least make them work for it, right?
I stopped dead, craning my neck to listen. I could hear them, but barely. They were still way the fuck back there. Damn tortoises.
“You want me?” I shouted, breathless, my hand curling into fists as more laughter ached for freedom from my lungs. “Come and get me, fuckers!”
A grunt somewhere far off, close to the Nest we’d all started this race from. Corvus. He was catching up.
A wicked idea curved my lips into a twisted smile, and I started running again, tugging my tank top off to discard it on the forest floor behind me.
My bra went next and I sucked in a breath at the sensation of the warm air rushing over my nipples, turning them to hard pebbles as my breasts bounced almost painfully.
I slowed to a hop to get my shorts off, tossing those behind me, too, leaving a trail for them to find.
My panties were already wet with anticipation as I pulled them off, running ass naked through the dark trees between the Nest and Briar Hall.
“ Sparrow ,” Corvus growled in the distance, angry as he found my clothes.
I roared with laughter, pushing my legs harder.
I didn’t think I’d ever run faster, with nothing between me and the air.
Nothing between me and the sky. If I just spread my arms and closed my eyes, I was willing to bet good money I could straight up fucking fly.
I closed my eyes, relishing the feeling.
When I opened them again, I recognized the small space coming up through the trees. I’d run through it tens of times since Grey and I shared our first kiss here. It was perfect.
I peered over my shoulder and slowed, waiting for them to catch me.
The anticipation sent little shivers rushing all over the surface of my skin, made the space between my legs hot, pulsing with an electric need that sent currents racing up through my belly.
The crash of footfalls got louder in my ears and my breathing picked up to an uneven, heavy pace, my eyes narrowing to slits.
Corvus’ dark shadow wove through the trees, bursting into the space where I stood, naked in the moonlight.
He skidded to a stop, his light blue eyes catching in the silver light like reflective glass as he stared at me. Hungry like an animal who’d just sighted its prey.
The others were right behind him; Grey and Rook appeared through the dense foliage at the same time, rushing up to stand to either side of Corvus. Rook’s lips parted as he caught his breath, his dark eyes devouring every inch of my body.
Grey licked his lips, his shoulders rising and falling, hands in hard fists at his sides.
“Well…” I beckoned, pulling my lower lip in between my teeth. “What are you waiting for?”
A vicious growl left Rook’s lips as he stalked forward, not stopping until all the space between us had been annihilated. He twisted his fist into my hair, jerking my chin up until my lips had nowhere else they could go but to meet his in a feral kiss.
My heart twisted in my chest, and I let out a little moan of surprise, jerking as a hand that was not Rook’s ran down the length of my spine, making my back arch.
Feather-light kisses trailed over the ridge of my shoulders from behind, turning harder, more insistent, until they weren’t kisses at all, but bites. Hard bites that would leave marks for days to come.
I moaned, and Rook bit my lower lip, adding to the pleasure pain mix only to lick the pain away a moment later, diving into my mouth with his wicked tongue as though he could inhale my soul.
Hands wrapped around my ribs, reaching between Rook and me to find my breasts. They squeezed, rolling my nipples between the pads of thumb and index finger.
“ More ,” I managed between fevered kisses.
I wanted them to use me until I was so spent they had to carry my ass back to the nest.
“ More ,” I demanded a second time, pulling roughly away from Rook to look him in the eyes. He needed to know I meant business.
“Tell me what you want, Ghost,” he said, lips swollen from our kiss, eyes so black I could fall into them and never come out again. “And it’s yours.”
“You,” I said on a breath, grabbing Grey’s hand on my breast. “And you,” I told him, spinning until I found Corvus standing just a few feet away, his hand pawing at the erection begging for release from his jeans. “And you.”
“That’s a lot of cock, AJ. Sure you can handle it?” Grey crooned against the base of my neck, making me shudder.
I nodded. I never backed down from a challenge.
I yelped as Corvus lifted me high, tossing me over his shoulder. The yelp turning to a laugh as he spanked my ass. “Not hard enough?” he asked.
He spanked me again, and I jerked against his shoulder, the breath rushing out of me.
“That’s a good girl.”
My head spun as he threw me forward, catching me before I could fly into the dirt. I noticed the fallen tree he’d brought me to. No doubt to fuck me on, but I wanted to taste him first.
I immediately fell to my knees, unbuckling his jeans, letting that magnificent cock free. I took him into my mouth, the warm salty taste of him sliding over my tongue.
He groaned, his palm pressing on the back of my skull. “That’s it,” he said. “Open that throat for me.”
I did as I was told and he pushed in deeper, his tight ass muscles flexing against my hands as he filled my throat, holding himself there until I choked on him. Choosing his cock over air.
Corvus barely waited for me to catch my breath before driving into my mouth again, fucking my tight little throat until it was raw.
Out of the corner of my eye, I found Grey striding over, his shorts discarded somewhere, his cock in his hand. Stroking himself.
The sight made my pussy quake, and I moaned on Corvus’ cock, making him curse.
I reached for Grey, wanting to touch him. He obliged, pressing his cock into my hand. I pumped him, rubbing my thumb over that sensitive spot just below the tip on his underside. He shook in my hand, tipping his head back to close his eyes.
Corvus’ cock popped free of my lips, and he dragged me to Grey. “Open,” he said and I did, letting Corvus push my mouth onto Grey’s cock.
I found Corvus’ massive length again, stroking him while I let Grey have his turn in my mouth. But there was someone missing.
Rook lifted my ass, forcing me to balance on my knees as he reached between my legs, finding my wetness.
The first stroke raced through me like fire and I bucked, whimpering.
The flick of a blade opening made me sharply aware of everything around me, something in my chest tightening in a way that only Rook could untie.
Rook pressed his palm flat against the base of my spine, trying to keep my lower body still. He removed his fingers from their teasing stroked between my legs only long enough to flick open a small cut on my hip.
I sucked in a breath, only managing to inhale Grey’s cock even further at the sting.
“More,” I tried to say around Grey’s cock, never relenting my pumping of Corvus’ with my right hand.
Little flicks of the knife opened shallow wounds curving around the bone of my hip. I didn’t realize what he was doing until he was nearly finished.
Grey pulled out of my mouth, and I took the opportunity to crane my neck backward, finding Rook admiring his handiwork. The name Rook bled against my moonlit skin, and I hoped he’d cut deep enough for it to scar because it was the most beautiful tattoo I could even imagine having.
“It’s perfect,” I said, voice hoarse.
“Enough of this,” Corvus growled, snapping at Grey as he indicated the fallen tree. “Sit.”
Grey’s brows furrowed, but he did as he was told, sitting on the rough bark.
“Ready, Sparrow?”
I nodded, letting Corvus lift me from my knees, Rook following suit.
The sound of tearing fabric rushed in my ears, and I clenched my teeth as a strip of Rook’s black t-shirt pressed against the fresh cuts in my hip, and he fastened it tightly into place to stop the bleeding.
“You said you wanted all of us,” Rook whispered against my neck, biting the skin beneath my ear.
“You say that like it’s a threat…” I trailed off, letting them see that it was the exact opposite.
“Step back, Sparrow.”
I did, feeling Grey’s hands wrap around my middle, drawing me onto him from behind. “Give me your ass, AJ.”
The tiny hairs on my arms rose as I held myself up, letting him slowly work himself into my ass until I was grimacing at the initial pain and how it evened out to a glorious sort of fullness that I knew would only grow.
I used Grey’s thighs to prop myself up, opening my legs for one of the others to enter me from the front.
Fear skated down my spine, but nowhere near as great as the dizzying drug of ecstasy pulsing in my blood, making my vision blur at the edges.
I tipped my head back as Grey adjusted himself inside me, getting even deeper. Strong arms wrapped around mine, pulling them back, securing them. Grey trapped me against his body, and I laid my head against his shoulder.
My greedy cunt throbbed, waiting for Corvus.
“What are you waiting for?” I all but growled, unable to handle another second of the anticipation.
Why was he making me wait?
I squinted into the dark to find him and something in my belly tightened, setting me on edge.
He… was fully dressed again.
So was Rook.
The pressure of Grey’s cock thrust deep in my ass vanished, and I felt the textured fabric of denim against my bare ass. But still, he held me against him, not allowing me to move.
