2. ~Ariana~ #2
He possessed a very special and completely unique brand of magic.
Defensive magic. He was able to diffuse any magic-wielder’s power with it.
Even mine. Basically, he was the only person on this plane who could stop me if I lost control—something that had actually been put to the test a few times over the years.
And right now, that knowledge was putting all of the guests at ease.
The fact that they were so afraid that they needed that reassurance made me sick to my stomach.
Through the excitable chaos surrounding him, he looked out at us, gave Dad a chin lift, then winked at me in that sweet way of his.
I smiled back, then heard Dad growling low in his throat as a couple of Pops’ admirers stroked his arm and touched him.
That reaction was Dad’s wolf nature shining through. He was very possessive and protective of Pops, just like he was with Mom and Papa.
I saw Pops smirk at his reaction, getting a kick out of it.
That only made my dad’s growl deepen.
I rolled my eyes at him. “Pull it back, Dad. Your eyes are already partially glowing with the sign of a shift. You know Pops is just playing with you in his usual teasing way.”
He drew in a calming, centering breath. “Sorry, Ari.”
“No worries. But are you gonna be okay if I leave you to step outside for that fresh air?”
“I’ll be fine. Absolutely.” He planted a soft kiss on the top of my head. “It’s your party. Do what you want to. It’s all your call.”
I smiled up at him, kissed his cheek, then meandered through the crowds.
It took me a good few moments to actually make it through the foyer and out through the arched oak entrance doors.
I hurried down the steps and made a beeline for the side of the house.
The cool night air whispered over my skin and I breathed in the invigorating sensation as I walked deeper through the grounds.
I was heading for the little rounded gazebo nestled amongst the concealment of some trees. Just out of the way of everyone.
The way I liked it.
But as I drew closer, voices coming from the direction of my coveted destination reached me, making me grit my teeth at the obstacle it was posing to my plan for a much-needed breather.
My usual approach of keeping my head down that would have willed me to just turn around and let it be, just suck it up and accept it as is, slammed up against a rush of indignation.
The pressure of tonight and all it entailed for me, everything I hated about it and myself, what I fucking was being highlighted and put on display to people who already feared or hated me for it…
it all collided into roaring frustration.
And then I found myself doing the opposite of what I’d trained myself to do.
I couldn’t let it just be.
It was my gazebo.
This alone time and brief reprieve from the nightmare that was tonight belonged to me.
Not whoever had decided to encroach on that.
Some fucking guests who didn’t know better, but would know better once I was done chewing them the fuck out!
I stormed over there—something that was harder to do than I’d been expecting with the fancy-ass dress I was wearing and the aggravating spiky jeweled heels strapped to my feet hindering my forthright movements.
I was a jeans and tank girl all the way, so I wasn’t used to it to begin with.
And it only served to ramp up everything else.
I continued on, the voices growing louder and more discernible with my every step, until I was able to make out the precise content.
“There’s my dirty devil. Grind your whore cock against that wood until it burns, while I play with you. I want to see your pre-cum fucking coating it. When we’re done, you’re gonna lick it clean.”
“Hell, Kai… more… I need more. Please. Oh, fuck, please.”
“You let yourself get too desperate. It was too close this time.”
“I know, I—ungh. Fuck!”
“Mmm… you feel that? I’m hooking your tight little ass. Feel me spreading it open?”
“Yeah… oh, damn… yeah… I’m burning for you.”
“Music to my ears, sweetheart.”
What the—
I rounded some thick foliage and came upon a visual of the gazebo and the unwanted interlopers.
So much for assuming that some guests were just out here chilling and shooting the shit or something.
This was a whole lot more than that.
It stunned me into inaction.
It was Kai Hunter and Nyx Laryn, two Maven Academy students who were about to enter their fourth year like me.
There Kai, sorcerer extraordinaire, was still fully-clothed in the sleek black tailored suit I’d seen him in earlier, just his fly undone with his cock pulled through the opening and raging fucking hard as he stood behind Nyx who was completely naked.
He was hunched over, his head bowed and his eyes closed in rapture, his vibrant-blue hair falling forward as he humped the white wood of the gazebo, his cock moving rapid-fire back and forth over it and starting to slick the material.
Kai had his fingers hooked in Nyx’s open ass, and I jolted as he suddenly spat inside, causing Nyx to let out a long groan and wiggle in response.
Kai did it again and again until it was oozing inside.
And then he stuffed a finger in there, making Nyx cry out, before he then started seemingly stirring the dirty mixture, then shoving it in deeper and deeper.
“Cocksucker… yeah,” Nyx rasped, grinding back against Kai’s invading finger.
It was… depraved and demented… and it had my body heating.
I went to turn away, but Kai opened his hand that had been fisting one of Nyx’s black shimmering horns, and I watched his rose-gold magic glowing vibrantly as he grunted, “I can’t hold the spell steady and use another to magically lube my cock.
The pushback from you is too strong this time because you left it too long. ”
“Holding the spell is what matters. Don’t compromise that for anything.” Nyx’s voice was desperate as he added, “ Please.”
“I won’t, sweetheart,” Kai vowed.
Nyx reached back and grasped his arm. “Besides, I want it raw right now. Need it hard. Need to feel you real rough. Give it to me. Fuck me up, wunderkind.”
“Fuck. Forget about the Incubus allure, you’re driving me fucking crazy even without that,” Kai grunted, a moment before he surged forward and his cock sank into Nyx’s ass, earning a delightful squeak of pleasure from him and a deep growl from Kai.
“Ungh… fuck my ass… ream my fucking hole!” Nyx started screaming out as he lost any and all composure and rammed back wildly.
Kai gave him what he wanted, pulling almost all the way out, then slamming back in hard, over and over again, jolting Nyx against the gazebo.
“Give me that glorious cock,” Kai uttered, before clamping his hand around Nyx’s length and jerking him off wildly, as he then began power-fucking into his ass like a man possessed.
Through it all, his other palm remained active with his magic.
I stepped back and turned to go for real this time, but in my haste and with the surprise of what I’d walked in on, I smacked into a tree behind me and a curse escaped me.
Kai swung his head and I gasped as his gaze clashed with mine.
His rhythm faltered only for a brief second, before he continued on fucking the shit out of Nyx, holding my gaze, his eyes darkening and a dangerous smirk playing on his lips.
Oh no.
Garnering Kai Hunter’s attention was never a good thing.
Especially not this kind.
The kind wherein I’d just borne witness to a private moment like this, of all things.
Worse than intruding on a fuck session that was clearly a secret between the two of them because nobody at the Academy knew this side to their friendship, was the fact that I’d just seen Kai using his magic illegally.
So, I did the only thing I could do.
I turned and disappeared into the forest.
As I stumbled through the brush in my stupid heels and far-too-long dress, my body shaking from the shock of what I’d just witnessed and the ramifications of it all, I heard a clear orgasmic cry from Nyx, followed by some grumbling from Kai.
Not a few seconds later, and a blast of rose-gold magic erupted in my path.
Then Kai Hunter materialized.
I jerked back and came to an ungraceful stop.
Despite the expansive grounds stretching for miles around us, Kai’s presence had the disturbing ability to somehow take up all that space and fucking own it.
He stood there completely unruffled now, his sleek black suit looking as immaculate as the rest of him, the tailored nature of it showing off his lean, tall frame and giving note to his toned muscle.
He was just over six-foot, but that wouldn’t have mattered, the energy coming off him would have completely dwarfed anyone in his path anyway.
Just like he was trying to do with me now as his hazel eyes shone with that usual calculative expression of his, and no small hint of malice also.
“So the celestial princess has a voyeur kink,” he mused, cocking his head to the side as he regarded me with dangerous intrigue, his espresso-brown hair bouncing a little as he did. It was in a crew cut but there were glossy textured waves on top.
I glared at him. “It was an accident. I was headed to the gazebo. My gazebo. I had no idea anyone would be there. Let alone you.”
“You remained long after you’d realized what you’d walked in on.”
“I was just caught off guard.”
“You were turned on.”
“You don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Nyx could scent it.”
Damn Incubus senses. “He was in no state to discern that when he was so far gone himself.”
“Hmm,” he said, stepping closer and making me tense. “You can think on your feet admirably. Who knew? You certainly don’t demonstrate that at the Academy. Then again, with you constantly burying your head in the sand, you don’t demonstrate much of anything.”
He stepped ever closer until he was right in my personal space and looming over me. His eyes flashed. “Until tonight, that is.”
“What are you talking about?”
