Chapter 53
CASSIE
Cassie settled back against the cushioned seat of the long-range shuttle that was going to take them to Cherubin Three. It was a quarantine shuttle, meaning the front part where the pilot sat was sealed off by a dark smoked glass panel. She could barely even see his head through the small window.
She didn’t care about that though—finally, after days of quarantine, she had her guys back.
Severin was sitting on her right and Ravik was on her left.
Just breathing in their scents was already making her feel better and feeling their body heat on either side of her calmed her nervous system which had been on high alert the whole time she had been separated from them.
Both of them were being unnaturally quiet though, which made her sad.
She missed the banter they’d had before Severin had to bite Ravik and Ravik started hating him for it.
She wished she could shake some sense into both of them—tell them they belonged together and they needed to stop this stupid fighting.
But she sensed that nothing she could say would bring them back together until they were ready and willing to listen.
Ravik, especially, was extremely stubborn.
Cassie wondered if he really was planning to leave once she was able to produce the vaccine and hoped not.
She hadn’t known either of them that long, but they’d been through so much in that short time in the bunker.
It felt like the thee of them belonged together.
They had just folded space—which always made Cassie feel like she was going through some kind of time warp—and were on route to Cherubin Three, when the need started tormenting her again.
Maybe it was their scents that were getting to her, she speculated.
Ravik’s leather and smoke and spice scent mixed with Severin’s clean, sharp, ocean scent made her almost dizzy as she breathed them in.
They also made her thirsty.
Suddenly, her throat was as dry as the desert. Cassie knew instinctively what she needed, but she wasn’t sure how to ask for it. She couldn’t exactly ask the two big Kindred if she could suck them right here in the back of the shuttle—could she?
I can wait, Cassie told herself grimly. Once we get down to the planet and we can get some privacy, then I’ll ask.
But the longer she kept silent, the worse the need and the thirst got. Soon she felt like she was twisting herself into knots inside.
Just as she was feeling really overwhelmed, the com-link clicked on and the voice of the pilot said,
“Sorry to tell you this, but we’re in a holding pattern for a little while here. It might be thirty minutes to an hour before we’re allowed to land.”
The link clicked off and Cassie couldn’t take it anymore.
“An hour?” she exclaimed. “Why does it take so long?”
“Well, he told us—we’re in a holding pattern,” Ravik rumbled. “Sometimes they like to check out your credentials before they let you land.”
“But a whole hour!” Cassie nearly moaned, her hand creeping to her throat. She’d already drunk three bottles of water on the way here and it hadn’t done her a bit of good.
“Well,” Ravik began again, but Severin stopped him.
“Wait—Cassandra is clearly in distress,” he said. Putting his hand on her knee, he squeezed gently and asked, “What is it , sweetheart? What do you need?”
Cassie wanted to tell him…but it was so embarrassing.
“It’s…the need,” she said at last. “The thirst is, uh, really thirsting right now.”
A look of understanding dawned in the Blood Kindred’s pale blue eyes.
“You need seed, don’t you?”
“Yes!” Cassie couldn’t keep the urgency out of her voice. “It’s been so long since we were all together. Please, I need a drink of your cream.” She looked up at Ravik. “I need it from both of you.”
The Beast Kindred frowned.
“We can’t just fucking whip it out in the back of the shuttle,” he growled. “I know the fucking pilot!”
“Yes, we can,” Severin said, frowning. “Ravik, can’t you see our lady is deep in need? We have to help her. Besides, the partition is so dark I’m sure he can’t see us.”
“Well…” Ravik studied Cassie’s face and his stony expression softened. He cupped her cheek gently. “You need it bad, don’t you baby?” he asked softly.
Cheeks burning, Cassie nodded.
“Yes, and this is the first time in my life I’ve ever had to beg to give someone a blowjob.”
“Didn’t mean to make you beg,” the Beast Kindred said, frowning. “But I don’t think we can, uh, get together like we did the last time you sucked us. There’s not a lot of room to maneuver back here.”
“Just get as close together as you can,” Cassie told him. She was already sliding off her seat so Severin could slide over. Luckily, the back of the long-range shuttle built for Kindred warriors with long legs, so she had room to move around.
“We’ll do the best we can, sweetheart,” Severin promised.
And then he and Ravik were both opening their trousers and letting their long, thick cocks free so she could suck them and drink their cream.
