Chapter Twenty-Eight
Devon
The moment Nuriela cut my throat, I truly thought my life was over.
And then I was certain the afterlife was claiming my soul.
I hovered above the people I loved, watching them lose their shit when my body dropped to the floor.
But then Delphine tossed Phenex the dagger, and suddenly I was sucked into that bright-red stone.
It wasn’t consciousness, but something else.
Like I was made of everything and nothing. I was a soul untethered.
And yet I could feel every damn emotion radiating from Phenex.
He was a conniving shit and most definitely knew it, too.
When he was fucking Seraphina in the jungle, his feelings of lust and dominance pulsed through the stone and seeped into my being.
I’m sure he thought to make me jealous, but whichever part of my soul that lived in the stone was simply relieved to have her back.
When the other Princes joined us and our group was finally reunited, I could feel a steady thread of joy through each of them. We were bonded on a deeper level, one not even the breaking of mate bonds could truly sever.
And now it was finally time for me to join them back in my own body. I felt Seraphina’s fierce soul so full of life as she cradled the dagger to her chest. When the blood of my brothers and my girl coated the blade, shining life grabbed my essence and ripped it from the stone.
My eyes snapped open, and I sucked in a breath, relief filling my mind when I could feel my body once more. The others leaned over my splayed form on the floor. Before anyone could move, I rolled to the side and punched Phen directly in the dick.
He fell to the floor, groaning. Ty laughed as I leapt to my feet and snatched Seraphina’s waist, pulling her into my arms. She jumped up, wrapping her legs around my hips, and our lips met, a mess of teeth and tongues, eager and desperate for each other.
She tasted like my salvation and my darkest desires.
My beautiful mate moaned, and my dick pressed against my dark jeans, begging to fuck her.
I pulled away first, staring into her stunning aquamarine eyes. “I missed you so fucking much, mera dil.”
She smiled at me, a tempting thing, her fingers teasing the short hairs at the back of my neck. “Not as much as I missed you, Devon Parrish. We’re never doing that shit again.”
I grunted in agreement. “The next time we need a soul sacrificed, it’s Phen’s turn.”
The jackass in question wrapped his arms around us both and licked my neck with his forked tongue. A shiver rippled through me at his touch, and my need to fuck Seraphina intensified.
“Let’s get out of here before Dev turns us all into exhibitionists,” Andras murmured at my side, pressing a hand to my back.
A daemon I didn’t yet know clapped twice to get everyone’s attention. My mind had zeroed in on my girl, and only now did I realize the massive throne room was filled with strangers, and some friendly faces.
“The party will continue in the catacombs. All are welcome!” the daemon called out, and merriment carried throughout the room.
“We can join the party, but if I don’t fuck you in the next ten minutes, I’m going to lose my damn mind,” I growled, nipping Seraphina’s perfect pale flesh. I needed my mark on her body immediately.
She moaned, a sassy smile on her lips. “Yes, please. I need my princes all to myself for a little while.”
Andras stepped in front of Seraphina, towering over her like a dark god, his eyes glittering with wicked intent. “And do you think you deserve pleasure, sweetheart? I have not forgotten. Punishments first, and if you beg prettily for us, only then will we let you come.”
My dick thickened at the combination of his words and the lust in Seraphina’s eyes. She smirked at him, running her nimble fingers up his chest. “I’ll take my punishments like a good girl. Promise.”
“Fuck.” I groaned at the sinful voice of our girl.
We’d retreated to a deserted hallway, far enough from prying eyes, but the tension in the air was building and I was ready to explode in more ways than one. Andras snatched Seraphina’s hair and tilted her head back.
“On your knees and open your mouth,” he commanded, and she obeyed without protest. Andras spat down her throat and turned to us. “Remind our girl who she belongs to, brothers.”
Seraphina’s moans of pleasure as the five of us each took our place before her and spat on her tongue were fucking sinful. She was just as desperate and eager as we were for her. Andras ordered her to swallow, and she did, behaving like the good girl she rarely was. He smacked her cheek, satisfied.
“When we get to the room, you’re going to strip, and take ten slaps to your perfectly round ass. From each of us.” Andras’s words were nonnegotiable.
Seraphina nodded, her cheeks flushed and eyes dilated. “Yes, sir.” She spoke the words softly, as if she were the innocent flower she pretended to be. And while seeing her play along was doing things to my body, I couldn’t wait for our perfect mate to let her own beastie out to play.
The orgasm that flooded my body was earth-shattering.
Literally. Seraphina screamed my name in garbled moans, her mouth filled with Andras’s cock.
Her body bowed beneath mine, her sweet cunt squeezing me tightly as I filled her with my cum.
She was exquisite, and I wasn’t even sorry I didn’t last quite as long as usual.
“My turn, Dev,” Ty growled, ripping me away from her with ease. He was completely naked, his pierced cock bobbing as he gripped Seraphina’s thighs. “Levi, clean up Dev’s messy dick, won’t you? I know you need that slutty mouth of yours filled.”
Ty’s words and Seraphina’s lusty gaze on me had me half hard already. Levi shoved me on the bed beside her and dropped between my legs, biting my thighs and licking his way toward my cock, dripping with Seraphina’s arousal and my own seed.
I groaned, threading my fingers in his hair.
It was insane that these were the same men I once left behind, believing my time as one of the Princes was over.
But these were my brothers in arms. The ones who knew my secrets, my shame, and my hopes.
My bonded brothers. Never would I have guessed we would become intimate in this way.
In my most hidden dreams, maybe, but it wasn’t until Seraphina brought us back together that the bonds between us became so much more.
“Fuck, Levi,” Sera whimpered. “You look hot as hell between Dev’s thighs.”
Phen circled the bed, coming up behind Levi and palming his ass. “Seraphina, my queen. Scream my name when Ty makes you come with his monster cock, will you? And I’ll make Levi moan yours.”
The room reeked of sex, and the air was thick with our heightened lust. Andras gripped Sera’s hair and forced her to take his thick cock to the back of her throat, his pace matching Ty’s.
Levi’s mouth wrapped around my dick, and a needy sound escaped my own lips.
He grunted when Phen entered his ass with his own punishing pace.
The six of us moaned and murmured filthy words to each other, bringing us closer to the edge of oblivion.
The second orgasm washed through me like a tidal wave, and the others moaned and praised each other.
We were almost completely in-sync with our pleasure.
The suite we were given held a massive bed, bigger than any I’d seen before, and easily fit all of us. We lay there, breathing heavily and soaking in the pleasure.
“So,” Phen drawled. “Now we can party. And then tomorrow, we journey to the mountains, get our mate bonds restored, and try not to die in the process.”
The room went completely silent at his words.
Seraphina snorted a laugh, probably one of the cutest sounds I’d ever heard from her. “Fucking hells, Phenex. Way to be a mood killer.”
He sprung up from the bed, naked and glorious—it would be a lie to say he was anything but beautiful with his muscles, tattoos, and freshly fucked hair.
“If anyone can survive a trip beneath Mount Monkara, it’s us.” Phen crossed his arms over his chest. “With the daughter of the only other daemon who came out from the mountain alive a few decades ago, we’re destined to succeed.”
Andras sighed audibly to my right. “Phenex, please explain in detail exactly what the fuck you are talking about.”
He rolled his eyes. “Obviously I will. Now get your party clothes on, gang. My brother has something big planned for his lady, and we don’t want to miss it.”
