No Escape From Destiny (10 page)

“Yeah, I remember his saying something like that, what does that have to do with anything?”

“I could feel your need to be sated from the other side of the mansion. Do you have any idea what it feels like to have someone needing to be fucked as bad as you do and to try to be a decent male and let her come to you when she is ready?”

“What do you mean you could feel my need? Does that mean anytime I’m turned on you will know and feel the need to come and
sate
me?”

“Since my blood is now in your veins, I can now feel
all
your emotions and be able to find you whenever I want. I could feel how aroused you were and your need for release. And yes, anytime you need me, I will need to be there.”

“How close do you have to be to feel me?”

“There is no distance your need cannot cross to find me.”

“What if it isn’t you I need?”

Even with the water hot enough to cause the mirrors to steam up, the temperature dropped and goose bumps popped up all over her body. He stalked into the shower, clothes and all. She could see her breath. He wrapped one hand around the nape of her neck and the other around her throat. He wasn’t hurting her, but there was no hope of her moving without him letting her. “Get this right, right now, female. You. Will. Want.
No
.
One
. But me. Ever again. Any other male that comes near you or you feel that you need will not see his next breath. You will only be with
me
from now on. You were made for me and no one else.”

“So can you feel all girls’ needs like that or am I just special?” Her voice was dripping with sarcasm. She didn’t even flinch. He looked very serious when he had grabbed her by the throat, and he was probably trying to make sure she knew that she would put any other male in danger just by being near him. She wasn’t intimidated. She just looked up at him like they were having this conversation over tea instead of her naked in the shower with his hands wrapped around her neck.

He tightened his grip and lifted her off the shower floor by her neck. He held her there, not tight enough to cut off her airway, just tight enough to let her know how serious he was. “Did you hear what I said? Any male that comes near you will die by my hands.”

“Yeah, I heard you. So what about your friend, Adrian?”

“I will kill anyone that comes near him, too.”

“That’s what I thought. So why didn’t you kill us both in the bedroom just now? He was definitely touching me, and since you can sense my needs, you could probably tell I was needy and more than willing to take whatever he wanted to offer in there. Is that why he stopped, or did he just not want an audience?”

“Trust me, neither of us is shy or has inhibitions with having an audience. The reason I did not hurt either of you and let what went on happen is because there is something about you that we both seem to need. It’s hard to explain, and I still haven’t figured it out, but I’m working on it.”

“How long is it gonna take for you to figure it out, and how long are you going to keep me here?”

“I don’t know yet, and as long as you’ll stay.”

“So does that mean I’m free to go if I want to?”

“If that is your wish. But know this—you will not be leaving without both of us with you. I’m not sure how or why, but the three of us belong together, and we will be.”

She put her hands on his wrists. “I don’t wanna go anywhere. I was just asking.” She licked her lips and stared at his lips. “Now that we have that established, either let go of my neck or kiss me.”

She wasn’t afraid of him. If anything she was more turned on now than before he had found her in the shower touching herself.

* * * *

He couldn’t believe she was real and that he had finally found her. He knew somehow she was made for him and Adrian, but would kissing her without
Adrian
there be all right with the other male? Guess he didn’t have to worry about that. From behind him he heard, “Kiss her already, before I do.”

He wanted to be gentle with her. He wasn’t sure why. She looked like she liked it rough, and she surely wasn’t afraid of him. Slowly, he lowered his lips to hers, still keeping both hands firmly around her neck. The kiss might have been gentle, but the feel of her slender neck under his huge palms was too much to give up. His lips landed on hers, and a jolt of lightening hit him, knocking his breath out of his body. He couldn’t do gentle anymore. He tightened his grip on her throat and pushed her up higher on the wall of the shower.

She was right against one of the lower showerheads, and he knew it was digging into her back. He didn’t care. She had pushed him, and now he was going to take it to the end just as hard as her fragile human body could take it. He had seen her back through the shower door before he said anything, and miraculously it was completely healed.

He knew she was fine. Not only could he feel her need and arousal from anywhere in the world, but if she were in pain, he would be able to feel that, too, and need to help her. He could shield himself from her to make it easier. If he couldn’t feel all her emotions, he wouldn’t be so distracted by her. But he wanted to feel her and know where she was, what she was doing, and with whom. His kind was also able to shield themselves from those they had fed from, but he wasn’t sure if he could teach the human to do that or if he even wanted to. The only thing they couldn’t shield was their location, which came in handy sometimes when one of his brothers that had fed from him was injured and needed help. The only reason they all carried locators on them was so they could be triggered if they were in trouble. They could be located quicker. She hadn’t technically fed from him. They had given her his blood by transfusion, but apparently the effects were the same. If she was a vampire, too, and he took her blood, she would be able to feel his emotions, too, but since she was human he didn’t think it would work that way. He was ready to find out, though. He had smelled her blood when she was hurt, and his fangs ached to taste her. He knew he had to wait then, but now that she was healed he needed to taste her. Soon.

Adrian watched him as
Nikkos
held the little human up by her neck against the wall. Her feet weren’t even touching the ground. He could feel
Adrian
’s worry but
Nikkos
would not hurt her any more than he would physically hurt
Adrian
.
Nikkos
lifted his head and looked down at her. He could tell his eyes were glowing again.

“Do your eyes always do that?”

He didn’t answer her, just said, “You wanna do this here or in the bedroom?”

“Define ‘this.’”

“You asked for a kiss. Sorry, but I can’t stop at just a kiss. I’m gonna be inside you as soon as I can get these clothes off, so decide now, here or in the bed?”

“Well you better keep your clothes on a little longer,
cuz
I’m gonna enjoy this gorgeous shower a little before you get what you want.”

Like that was going to happen. His hands tightened even more around her neck. “I know you did not just tell me no.”

He could tell she had to fight for air a little. “No, I didn’t say no. I just said you would have to wait awhile. I have an idea, why don’t you two go in the bedroom and start without me, and I’ll join you when I’m done in here.”

Adrian
stepped up beside
Nikkos
. “Sorry, not gonna happen, you’re going with us right now, or we’re taking you right here in the shower.”

She just looked at him from under her lashes, grinning like she was sweet and innocent. He looked at
Nikkos
. “Let’s go. Bring her now.”

Chapter Ten

Nikkos
released her throat, kept one hand tight against her nape, and reached the other hand down around her tight ass to lift her up. She didn’t seem like she was going to fight them. When he reached her ass, it only took a slight nudge for her to lift both legs up to wrap them around his waist.

Adrian led the way into the bedroom, losing the jeans he had put on before they left the bathroom.
Nikkos
carried her into the bedroom with his tongue exploring the inside of her mouth.
Adrian
stopped in front of the bed and waited for the other two to reach him. He and
Nikkos
had been with women at the same time before, but somehow they both knew this time was going to be different.

Nikkos
passed the little female over to
Adrian
’s arms so he could remove his clothes. She wasted no time wrapping her arms and legs around the other male and opening her mouth for his tongue. Oh yeah, this was going to be amazing. Females had always been into being with the two warriors, sometimes at the same time. He knew
Adrian
was never really into it, but went along anyway. But they had never found one that could truly handle both of them, not even females of their own race.

This little one being held by
Adrian
was different. She was going to be able to handle anything the two males could give to her, and she was going to give back what they needed. Not only that, but she seemed to want to see them together. He wasn’t sure how far she would want them to take it, but they were soon going to find out.

Adrian laid her down on the bed and lay on top of her, and
Nikkos
hoped the little moan she gave meant
Adrian
’s weight on top of her was just right.
Adrian
was trailing kisses down her neck while
Nikkos
stood by the bed, watching. The difference between the two males was like night and day.
Adrian
was gentle, where
Nikkos
had been rough and demanding.

She caught
Nikkos’s
eye and motioned for him to lie down next to them.
Nikkos
took the hint and sprawled out on the bed next to them, watching and wanting. She reached out, pulled him close, and pulled his mouth to hers. While
Adrian
was kissing and licking her neck, she explored the inside of
Nikkos’s
mouth.
Nikkos
could taste
Adrian
on her tongue. It was amazing how good he tasted, like dark spices and coffee. He could tell she was so turned on.

She pulled away from
Nikkos
and lifted
Adrian
’s chin until they both looked at her.
Nikkos
thought she was trying to stop them, but when he looked into her eyes moving between the two of them, he had an idea of what she really wanted. They looked at each other and back at her. She nibbled on one of the black rings in her bottom lip and nodded her head.
Nikkos
knew for sure what she wanted them to do. They looked into each other’s eyes, and she gently pushed their heads together. As they got closer, her breathing sped up and became shallow. He could tell she was really, truly turned on by the thought of them kissing. Their lips met, and the scent of her arousal overpowered the entire room. It was even stronger than the spice, musk, and woods scent of both of the males combined.

* * * *

Adrian
kept his lips locked onto
Nikkos’s
while he ground his cock into Anstice’s hip. He wanted to be inside her more than he wanted to take his next breath. Or did he want to be inside
Nikkos
? He was so confused, and he had no idea what he was doing. He wanted them both, but he was afraid. That was why he never told
Nikkos
how he really felt. He knew it would drive the male away. If he let out his true feelings and did what he thought was about to happen, would it change things between them?
Adrian
froze and pulled away a little.

Somehow the little female could read him and knew what he was thinking. “We’ll take it slow for now. We won’t do anything that everyone isn’t comfortable with. I’m not sure how far you two wanna take this, but let’s just go with it and see where it goes. If you wanna just kiss each other, that’s fine with me. If you decide you want more, that is definitely okay with me, too, but I won’t make you do anything you don’t want to do.”
