Chapter Five
Oliver
After our ruthless workout session, we decide to have a big cook-up for lunch. We are all starving—especially Dara. She has been complaining about her hunger for the past half an hour.
I’m leaning over the stove, flipping some burgers with Dara clinging to me. Her cute little hands are rubbing down my abs, and my Silvia, it’s hard to keep my hands from attacking her. If my brothers weren’t lounging at the dining table, I would flip Dara around, slam her against the cupboard, and pound into her sweet pussy.
“Do it,” Dara whispers behind me.
I groan, my cock hardening. “Don’t you dare tease me, Princess.”
“I do what I want, remember?” She moves around, sneaking under my arms and pushing me away from the stove.
With her chest flush against mine, she smirks and flutters her eyelashes at me. This girl will be the death of me. My arm snakes around her back. I wrap my hand around her ponytail, giving it a tug. Her head falls back, and she whimpers. Her long neck teases me, begging me to bite into her flesh. Leaning down, I sink my teeth into the skin just below her jaw. She moans, gripping my nape and pulling me toward her mouth. Our lips crash together. Her sweet minty breath invades my mouth as her tongue sweeps out. Grabbing her arse, I lift her up and push her onto the kitchen bench.
“Mmm, I want in on this,” Blair growls, coming behind Dara on the other side of the bench.
He pulls himself up, moving his legs around Dara’s. He pushes against her from behind, and she moans into my mouth. My dick pulses, begging to spring free. Dara must notice as she reaches down, burying her hand inside my pants, and squeezes my cock.
Fuck, this girl. Blair kisses down the back of her neck, sliding a hand around and grabbing hold of her tit. He starts playing with her nipple and she moans, pushing farther into our kiss.
I close my eyes just as she starts jerking me off,slow and steady. I want nothing more than her sweet-arse mouth around my cock, right now. I want her choking, begging me for more. She quickens her pace, moving faster and faster. Before I release, I bite into her lip, hard.
“Fuck,” Harlan curses, coming in behind me.What the fuck? Dara pulls out her hand, placing her fingers into her mouth one by one, licking them clean. My cock pulses in my jocks. God damn, I’m already ready for round two.
The smell of burning meat hits me. Dara pulls back, kissing me lightly.
“You’ve burnt the fuck outta them.” Harlan snaps his eyes on us. Well, mainly Dara. The fucker isn’t pissed off about the food; really, he’s pissed he didn’t get in on the action.
Dara grins up at me. She spins around, giving Blair a kiss on the lips. She’s our everything and also the world’s biggest distraction. I could get lost in her forever. Hell, most days I do. That in itself is a recipe for disaster.
Spinning around, I fix myself up and try to make good of these burnt burgers.
“Oh, well, at least it was worth the fun,” I say, laughing.
“For some of us,” Harlan whines, pulling out some plates. I knew he was pissed off about that.
“We will finish this later, Princess,” I say, saluting her with the spatula as I turn back to the burgers.
“I look forward to that.” She smirks, sliding off the bench into Blair’s waiting arms.
After a massive lunch, Declan and Dara start clearing up.
“I’m gonna head out to the skies to check up on things,” I tell everyone.
“Good idea, bro.” Declan nods to me as I head to the front door leading me into the village.
Goosebumps appear over my skin; the temperature has dropped significantly since earlier this morning. The summer days are long gone. It’s been some time since the sun has shone. Fucking James and his obsession with ruining Silvia. I still can’t understand the point of him destroying our world. Is the end goal to get rid of everyone and then have Silvia to himself? At the rate he’s going, there won’t be much left. My hands clench together at the thought of Silvia being nothing but ruins. If that happened, where would we go? We’d all have to relocate to another dimension. Yeah, fuck that. I’ll fight until my dying breath to save my home.
Looking up at the sky, I start running, my legs moving faster and faster with each step. I’m imagining my eagle form, my brown feathered wings, my strong, hooked beak. I launch forward. My body cracks and bends, then a second later, I’m flapping my wings.
I take to the skies; my body instantly relaxes as the breeze flutters through my feathers. The farther I get away from our village, the more unease I feel. Out here, it’s bad. My breathing picks up and I screech into the air. Our beautiful Silvia is no more. Everything is burnt down. Where there were once beautiful, lush trees surrounded by colourful plants and bushes, now nothing but ash is there. The landscape is black as far as my eyes can see. Coming down around the kingdom, I notice James has kept this land untouched. Everything is alive and thriving like the rest of Silvia should be.
The ground within a kilometre of the kingdom is fine; outside of that, everything is dead. James wanted to make a statement with this, and he did. It kills me to see my home this way. As I come above his kingdom, I fly closer to the ground to see what’s going on. Landing in the master bedroom’s courtyard, I stop just behind a bollard. James knows I can shift form, so I need to be careful. Staying in my eagle form, I peek around, but it looks like no one’s here. Just as I turn around to fly off, voices come from somewhere inside. Sitting on the edge of the courtyard ledge, I stay hidden behind the bollard. The voices drift closer.
“I don’t care what it takes, I want her here. We need her now that I know where Ruby is. She’s the only one that can release it, then I can destroy Ruby and her,” James growls.
“Yes, sir. We will do whatever it takes,” a shaking voice replies.
“Good. Now I need to get some rest. Put the castle on lockdown. I want no one coming in or out until we devise a plan to bring her here and keep Silvia as mine.”
As soon as the voices get quieter, I fly off, wanting to get this news back to the guys straight away. Snapping my beak, I cry out, trying to release the anger built up inside. James is crazy if he thinks he will capture Dara and end her life. I would gladly die protecting our Dara as would my family. We have to get to work and figure this all out before it’s too late. Before James comes up with a killer plan to end us all for good.
