Epilogue #2
Oryx let out a low growl. “I will bite off his head again if he ever betrays us. Next time I will eat his soul so he cannot return.”
Vesper giggled. “That won’t happen. I don’t believe it.”
It wouldn’t happen again, not if I had anything to do with it. Because I would be watching Benedict closely. His mind was connected to mine this time, but closed off to Vesper and Oryx. I would keep my triad safe, no one would betray my family again.
Oryx
I don’t know if I liked parties in my previous life but I hate them now.
This party was lasting forever.
I counted twelve pairs of fated mates that had found each other.
Good for them. Now leave so I can fuck my mates in peace.
A gnawing emptiness clawed at my insides. Three hours without them felt like an eternity of deprivation. No amount of blood could fill this void—only the heat of their bodies against mine, only their gasps and moans could feed the ravenous thing inside me.
Yet, they were talking to the guests giving rapport or some shit.
The beast beneath my scales and skin crawled mercilessly.
I was happy that there were two of them, because I could not sate this myself. I could not pleasure myself like I could before, I needed the heat of their bodies on me. I could use them both at once or one at a time.
“Vesper, I need you.”
Vesper gazed toward me as she talked to Pyrrah, Josephine, and Sylvaine. They were talking about finding their mates through Sylvaine’s magik or something.
Who fucking cares. My cock was leaking through my trousers.
“Please,” I begged.
Vesper smiled and patted her father's arm. With his nod of approval, she made her way across the dance floor, only to have Veylor intercept her halfway—sweeping her into his arms and disappearing among the swirling couples.
I snarled while I stood by the blood-flowing fountain set up for vampires and other blood-drinking monsters like myself.
Vesper's laughter echoed through the hall as Veylor spun her around, their dance a mesmerizing blend of grace and intimacy.
I growled low in my throat, my hunger growing more insistent.
The scent of their combined desire was a tantalizing aroma that only I could detect, and it was driving me to the brink of madness.
Sylvaine approached me, his eyes filled with understanding. "Oryx, why don't you steal them away for a bit? The party can spare them for a moment." He gave me a knowing smile.
I didn't need to be told twice. With a determined stride, I cut through the dancing couples, my eyes locked onto my mates. Veylor saw me first, a wicked grin spreading across his face. He leaned down to whisper something in Vesper's ear, making her giggle and nod in agreement.
As they broke away from the dance, I took Vesper's hand and led them both towards a darkened hall. The cool air from an open window did little to quell the fire raging within me. Veylor's shadows wrapped around us, creating a cocoon of darkness that shielded us from prying eyes.
"Oryx, you should have told us you were hungry," Vesper teased, her fingers tracing the muscles on my chest. Veylor moved behind her, his hands resting on her hips as he nuzzled her neck.
"I didn't want to disrupt your fun," I grumbled, my voice rough with need.
Veylor chuckled, his shadows beginning to caress my skin, stoking the fire within me. "You are our fun, Oryx. Never hesitate to take what you need from us."
With a groan, my tongue fell from my skull and captured Vesper's lips in a fierce kiss, my tongue delving into her mouth to taste her sweetness.
Veylor's hands roamed my body, his touch igniting sparks of pleasure that coursed through my veins.
I could feel his shadows assisting Vesper out of her gown, the cool air making her nipples harden into tight peaks.
Breaking the kiss, I trailed my lips down Vesper's throat, my fangs grazing her delicate skin. Veylor's shadows lifted her, offering her breasts to me like a sacrificial offering. I took one rosy nipple into my mouth, suckling deeply as Vesper moaned in pleasure.
Veylor's hands were on me, unfastening my trousers and freeing my aching cock. His shadows wrapped around the length of me, stroking and squeezing in a rhythm that matched the pulsing of Vesper's desire. I released her nipple with a pop, turning my head to lick and dive into Veylor’s mouth.
His mouth was hot and demanding, his tongue fighting with mine.
Vesper's soft moans made me snarl. I could feel both their needs, their hunger matching my own.
Veylor’s shadows moved between Vesper's legs, eliciting a gasp from her as they caressed her most intimate places. Her pleasure amplified our own, creating a feedback loop of desire that threatened to consume us all.
My tongue broke away from Veylor's and I panted heavily.
"I need to be inside you, I need to feel your cock, Veylor" I growled, my voice barely recognizable.
Veylor's shadows lifted Vesper, positioning her above my throbbing cock.
Veylor rubbed his cock with mine, coating himself in my dripping seed.
Vesper looked into my eyes, her own filled with love and lust, as she slowly lowered herself onto me. Her warmth enveloped me, Veylor’s heat touching mine. The tightness of it all was gripping me like a velvet vice.
We moved together, a writhing, moaning tangle of limbs and shadows. We fucked her, touched each other. Making obscene noises I’m sure the ballroom could hear.
Our pleasure built, layer upon layer, each of us feeding off the others'. Vesper's inner muscles clenched around ours, her body trembling as her orgasm neared. Veylor's grip on my hips tightened, his cock swelling against mine while we approached our climaxes.
I was lost in them, in the sensation, in the scent of our combined arousal. My body was on fire, my hunger insatiable. Vesper screamed her release, her body convulsing around me as she grabbed my horns.
Veylor grunted, his cock pulsing against me. Their shared pleasure pushing me over the edge, my own orgasm ripping through me, leaving me shaking.
We collapsed to the floor, a panting, sweaty mess of limbs.
Vesper lay cradled between us, her body still trembling with aftershocks.
Veylor's shadows wrapped around us, a soft, comforting blanket.
I nuzzled Vesper's neck, licking the light sheen of sweat from her skin.
Veylor did the same to me, his tongue tracing the shell of my ear.
"I love you," I whispered, my voice hoarse. "Both of you. More than life itself."
Vesper turned to me, her eyes shining with unshed tears. "And we love you, Oryx. Forever and always."
Veylor's arms tightened around us both. "Forever," he echoed, his voice a solemn vow.
As we basked in the afterglow, my cock already hardening inside Vesper, sucking on Veylor’s cock my thoughts ran wild.
Like putting our seed inside her. Making her round with child.
She says she doesn’t want it now, that we are still figuring our relationship out, but what if… what if… she doesn’t really know what she wants?
Deep inside her mind… she wants one.
I pushed my cock inside her deeper and she groaned.
“I can hear you, Oryx,” Vesper hisses. “No babies right now. You have no idea how much time and care it takes and we are still trying to figure out your appetite.”
I grunted. “I will impregnate you.”
The animals inside me demand it.
Veylor shook his head. “I”ve given her medication so you can’t get her pregnant, I knew you would do this.”
If I had lips I would smirk.
“I know, you forget I can read your mind also.”
Vesper and Veylor perked up their heads, their eyes widening.
“I could have replaced the medicine with something else.”
They both looked at each other.
Veylor narrowed his eyes. “Oryx, did you?”
I shrugged my shoulders and put my arms behind my head. “We will have to wait and see.”
That was when my pet rolled her eyes and smiled.
