Chapter 24
The guys all moved so quickly they were more blurs than human figures. One splash after another sounded. I should’ve made a run for it, or swim for it, but I was too caught up in the haze of lust.
A hand grabbed my ankle from below the surface, and I squealed as I was pulled under.
Someone surfaced and a set of arms went around my waist, hauling me against a hard body. “Mon Coeur,” Dash growled, his cock hardening against my ass. “You look like pure sin.”
Colt’s hungry gaze raked over my body. “You hated the last bikini. This one makes that look like a parka.”
My cheeks heated. “I needed something to break through the broody haze.”
Declan moved through the water, entering my space. “Broody, huh?”
I nodded as his gaze dipped to my chest. “Like toddlers without a nap.”
Ronan chuckled. “You’re going to pay for that one, Firecracker.”
Declan traced the tie that held up my bikini top. His finger left goose bumps in its wake. Just a simple touch and it already had my body begging for more.
His fingers flicked out and tugged on the tie. The fabric fell, and Dash pulled the string that kept it around my torso.
“Much better, brother,” Ronan growled low.
Declan’s thumb circled my nipple. “Seems like a waste to hide all this beauty.”
Dash’s hand slid down my body to between my legs, cupping me.
A gasp left my lips, and my back arched on instinct, seeking more of their touch.
“Our girl’s greedy,” Dash murmured.
“Greedy is just how we want her,” Colt said, a raspy grit to his voice.
My eyes went hooded as I took in the men around me. Each had different expressions, but all of them promised complete desire.
It was only Trace who remained a step back, just slightly out of the circle. But his gaze was laser focused on me.
“Trace,” I breathed.
Purple sparks lit the water around us, and the guys all groaned. The force of the magic hit me a second later.
Pure lust. Desperate need.
My skin was engulfed in flames. Sparks danced through my muscle and sinew. Every part of my being stood at attention.
“Too dangerous,” Trace gritted out.
I struggled for breath. “You’re never too dangerous.”
His eyes blazed as Declan shifted to the side, making room for Trace, welcoming him.
Trace paused for one beat. Then two. But finally, he shifted forward. His lips ghosted over the corner of my mouth, down to my neck. He licked and sucked. Each contact seared my skin, and I knew he was leaving brands behind.
Everything about Trace was a delicate balance of pleasure and pain. But it only heightened every sensation coursing through my body.
“Tell me how it feels,” Dash growled.
I struggled for words through the haze my brain was in. “Like I’m on fire, in the best way.”
Colt chuckled. “Incubi venom.”
My eyes flared at that, but Trace didn’t stop. As I looked down, purple swirls appeared on my skin. Trace’s brands. The marks I’d carry with me until they healed.
The knowledge that I’d carry the evidence of him with me drove me higher. My hips rocked against Dash’s hand.
He made a tsking sound. “You’ve been bad. We’re going to make you beg to come. And only if you’re truly convincing will we give you your release.”
I let out a soft whimper, and Dash moved in a flash. A second later, I was lifted out of the water and deposited on the side of the pool.
I should’ve been frozen to the core with how cold it was outside, but I still felt like I was on fire. It was Trace’s magic still swirling around us, I realized.
The guys had moved before I had a chance to get my head on straight. Colt pulled my hands above my head, wrapping my bikini top around my wrists. “So pretty,” he rasped. “Look at how it thrusts her breasts up for us to feast on.”
Ronan bent his head, sucking my nipple deep.
I cried out, my back arching as my body bucked.
Four fingers lashed out in a stinging slap across my thigh. Dash’s blue gaze had gone glinty. “Be still, Mon Coeur. Show us what a good girl you can be.”
My breaths came in quick pants as I struggled for control. Everything in me wanted to writhe and twist, wanted to seek out more contact, relief from the need pulsing through me.
Declan ran a finger down my neck, between my breasts, and over my navel. “Look at that struggle. She’s battling to obey.”
Water splashed as Trace leapt from the pool. “Never seen a more gorgeous fucking war.”
I bit down on the inside of my cheek to keep from moving.
Dash chuckled as he reached out and tugged the ties of my bikini bottoms. A second later, they were flying into the grass.
He pushed my legs open, settling between them, still in the water. “Already glistening. Such a pretty pussy.”
My core spasmed.
“Our girl likes being pretty. Tell me, Mon Coeur, do you like being fucked, too?”
“Yes,” I breathed, praying they’d take pity on me and end this ache.
“Are you ready to beg?” Dash pushed.
“Please.” There was a desperation in my voice, but I didn’t give a damn. I would’ve set myself on fire to have them give me what I wanted.
“Are you sorry for teasing us?”
My eyes flashed.
Dash chuckled. “I think that’s a no.”
His fingers thrust into me, and I cried out, both in relief and surprise. I tried to move my hands, but Colt held firm just as Trace gripped one thigh and Ronan the other. I was trapped. Completely unable to move. And it only drove everything higher.
I muttered nonsensical things as Dash’s fingers curled inside me. Declan dipped his head and pulled my nipple into his mouth, his teeth grazing the peak.
I let out a sound that was more animal than human.
Dash’s gaze shot to Trace. “She needs you.”
There was a moment of hesitation and then Trace’s head bent. His tongue flicked across my clit, and I lost all sense of my surroundings. My body convulsed as lust shot through me. Dash added another finger, all four stretching me to the point of pain. I only wanted more.
I writhed beneath their ministrations as Colt took my mouth. Purple sparks flew around us, and I could feel the guys’ bodies responding as if I were stroking all their cocks through the magic Trace poured into me.
Dash’s fingers curled, pressing hard against my G-spot as Trace sucked hard on my clit. Ronan and Declan bit down on my breasts at the same time as Colt nipped my lip.
I shattered, and an explosion of light burst all around us. Each guy let out a guttural groan as he found release. The energy of their orgasms coursed through me, wracking my body in a fresh wave of sensation.
I struggled for breath as I came back to myself.
Colt tugged the tie free of my wrists, rubbing the blood back into my hands.
Dash pressed a kiss above my pubic bone. “Beautiful.”
Ronan chuckled. “I think she blew a fuse in the pool house.”
My gaze flew to the building, where all the lights had gone out. “I didn’t.”
Declan hauled me into his arms. “Better than going unconscious.”
Trace grabbed a robe for me from the pool supplies as Declan set me on my feet. My legs trembled as Trace wrapped the soft cotton around me. “You okay?”
I swallowed hard and nodded. “That was…”
“Mind-blowing?” Declan supplied.
I giggled, pulling my robe tighter as the guys donned clothes, the cold air settling in. “Good term for it.”
Colt kissed my temple. “You were right; we needed this.”
A new kind of warmth spread through me. But it halted as a siren pierced the air.
Colt jerked away from me, his body going rigid. “Shadow demons.”
