The Draglen Brothers - DRAKEN (BK 1) (4 page)

“Cess…” I hear Donna Marie calling my
name. I turn, and see they are all in their bathing suits. Donna
Marie, Suzy, Jamie, and Kelly look like models. I smile and shake
my head.

“Yes, I see you all made
it.”

“Of course, when Suzy said you had men
issues. I knew you needed an intervention. Now, where are these hot
new neighbors?” Jamie says, smiling a wicked grin. She really has
no shame at all.

“A man has your eye, Cess, yes, I want
to meet this guy too,” Donna Marie says. I love her so much. She is
our party girl. She always has a reason to celebrate. If Donna
Marie has her way, she will find a way to make a party out of this,
and invite the new guys. I wonder if Draken would come. I’m pretty
sure the others would if they knew.

“There’s nobody who has caught my eye,
besides, just one brother is a meany,” I say, remembering the march
off the property, which really pissed me off. He must not have a
clue about who I am.

“Yeah, okay Cess, your face is giving
away how this guy got under your skin. This is perfect - if you say
he didn’t make you melt, then let’s have a party and invite him,
along with other people, and see what happens,” Jamie says. She
truly believes that all men want her, and as long as protection is
involved her motto is “young, sexy, and fun.”

“Ohh, I can get a party together in no
time. How about tomorrow night?” Donna Marie says, doing a shimmy
with her hips.

“That will be fun; I just
finished my final paper for Lit, so that would be perfect.
Lets party
!” Kelly says.
Great, now there is going to be a party.

“Aww, come on, Cess, you know you want
to, and besides, you may even get lucky with a guy,” Suzy says,
pouting.

“Fine, let’s have a party, but don’t
say I didn’t warn you about them. Now, who will invite them?” I
say, making sure they know I will not be the one. I will not get
marched off twice.

“I will, they don’t have to worry
about me, I…” Donna Marie says.

“We know, you’re with Rich!” we all
say in unison. I hope this guy is the one, because she wants to run
off and make little Rich’s babies after college. I’m never being
that devoted to a man, or anything else. Living the privileged life
as we all are, we know first hand how you can’t trust anybody.
There is always a motive, and besides, Donna Marie is the one with
all the family money. He could be using her, although for his sake
I hope not; her brothers are crazy about their little
sister.

“Let’s go for a swim, I’ll have Gloria
bring some drinks out,” I say. We all head for the pool. I can’t
believe I’ve been talked into a party where my new neighbors could
be there, fantastic.

The girls and I are having a good time
in the pool and talking about how each of us is glad this is our
last year in college. Donna Marie says she will make sure to give
them the address of the party for tomorrow night when she leaves.
How did I get suckered? Draken probably won’t show, and he’ll make
the others sit out. He is truly an asshole, a sexy
asshole.

Shit! That little girl just walked up
and handed Showken a piece of paper saying we are all invited to a
party tomorrow. I heard their entire conversation; the joy of
having great hearing over long distances. The problem: so did my
brothers, and if I know Showken, he is going, which will make
Layern and Gemi go, then I will have to go, just to make sure
trouble doesn’t happen. NO! They are not going, six months and I
will be home. I don’t have time to watch them. Showken comes into
my office, grinning.

“So, Draken, what you wearing to the
party?” Showken says, laughing.

“Nothing,” I respond.

“Really? I think that will impress the
ladies.”

“That Cess is really disturbing me.
She just had to go run her mouth. We should not go to any party,” I
say, trying to convince my brothers. I know that Cess will be
trouble. Her feelings are hurt because I walked her off the
property. She’s lucky that’s all I did. I feel like something is
going to happen, and this will not turn out good.

“Brother, why do you have such strong
feelings about this girl? I mean, we always run into a curious one
when we come to Earth, so why her?” Layern says, knowing the truth
behind my frustration. I have never desired to be with a human
woman, since my fatal encounter. Those legs, her smell and that
smile could get her killed.

“I see, you know if you would just
give in, maybe you could get rid of that frustration,” Layern
says.

“Ravla will be coming tonight, and any
frustration I have will be dealt with then,” I spit out.

“Ha,” Showken says, tilting his head.
“She will not satisfy you, brother, trust me on this; sometimes
these human women have a pull you can’t resist. Take her, have fun,
and be done with it. Besides, you might have more fun than you
think,”

“I want nothing to do with her at
all,” I say, “I may find her attractive, but I will never act upon
it. She is nothing more than a child to me. I’m here on business,
and Ravla can handle any other needs I may have.” I end the
conversation with a nod and make my way to the kitchen, finding I’m
very angry. I can feel my back expanding; I must gain control fast,
before this house is in shreds. I head to my room and beckon for
Ravla to come now. I have the portal open for her in the bathroom.
Ravla will make sure I forget that Cess. I smell her
immediately.

“Ravla, nice to see your beauty,” I
say, as she walks through the door in a flowing red gown. Ravla is
beautiful, with long, flowing, light orange hair, clear eyes, and a
body that is perfect, not to mention she’s the best Giver I’ve ever
had.

“Hello, Draken,” Ravla says, in that
sensual voice. I know she will be able to make me focus. Shit, why
am I thinking about anything but sexy Ravla’s body?

“Is something wrong? I came as soon as
I got your message,” Ravla says, frightened.

“Oh, no, you’re fine, it’s me,” I
continue. “I know this is selfish of me, but I really don’t want to
talk; I just want to bury myself within you. Are you up for what I
have planned?” I say, knowing she will do whatever I ask concerning
sex.

“Of course, Draken, I love you within
me. If this is the only way I can have you, then I will take
it.”

“Remove your gown.” I see her
excitement, and I can smell her arousal. Mmmm. “You have not been
with another, right?”

“Oh Draken, how could you think I
would. I love you,” Ravla says, moving closer to me. She is totally
naked, giving me a full view of her perfect round breasts, and
those hips swaying my way. I will enjoy her today. I hate reminding
her of my feelings, though.

“Ravla, I don’t love, and you know
that. However, I will show you much pleasure today and tonight. I
need another drink, would you care for one?”

“No, I mean no thank you,” she
says.

Her feelings are hurt. Shit, I keep
hurting people’s feelings, especially Cess. I might have
overreacted, but that girl gets me to boil, and I don’t like that
feeling. She is too damn sexy and I can’t get those legs, those
fabulous legs, out of my head. I so want them around me, as I take
her over and over again. Fuck!

“Draken, are you okay?” Ravla asks,
and I realize I’m thinking of how many ways I want to get into
Cess. I knew that girl was going to be trouble.

“Yes, I’m fine.”

“Well, you were saying something about
a Cess, legs? What, or who, is that?” Ravla says, revealing
irritation in her voice. This only inflames me, questioning me
about anything is a no, especially if the person is not
family.

“Make your way to my bed, Ravla, and
question me no more. Is that clear?”

“Yes, Draken. I’m sorry for
overstepping my bounds,” she says, moving to my bed and spreading
her legs, giving me access to view her arousal. I inhale deeply.
Ravla has been my Giver for many years now. She knows what I like
and how I like it. I should be over there having a good time, but
instead I can’t help but feel the need of Cess in my bed. Her skin
is so soft; lick every inch of her is what I could do, taking my
time to enjoy all of her, especially those legs. I find myself
growling. I don’t know when or how I make it to the bed, but I’m
thrusting into Ravla, so fast that she doesn’t have time to think.
I hear her cry out in satisfaction, and I continue to take her,
over and over again, thinking of Cess the entire time. Ravla will
sense my disconnect, and I just hope she never finds Cess, or she
will kill her.

***

The next morning, I look over and see
Ravla sleeping. Her breathing is slow, which lets me know she’s in
a deep sleep. I get out of the bed, and notice my sheets are
destroyed. Damn, even my bed has burn marks. Oh well, I guess I
will be ordering a new one. I slip on my black silk pajama pants
and head out of my room. I open the door and am greeted by Showken
with a large glass of wine.

“Good morning,” Showken says, grinning
hugely. “I see Ravla is here, umm, I think we need to talk,
brother.” The chuckling continues as he turns and walks away from
my room. I walk behind him, not speaking, drinking down the wine.
Drinking wine keeps my temper under control. In my land I have
other ways to do that, but here, wine is what helps, or any
alcoholic drink, really. My beast needs to be under control. Making
my way to the study, I see Layern and Gemi, which means something
is up.

“What’s wrong?” I say.

“You, that’s what’s wrong,” Gemi says.
I look at my brothers, then close my eyes to think, remembering
they can see my sexual acts if I choose, only through the mind,
though. Cess was on my mind the entire time with Ravla. This is not
good. Fuck!

“I told you, have her. The way she was
looking at you before you walked her off the property, there will
not be any convincing involved,” Showken says.

“Layern, you’re quiet, do you agree?
Before you answer, I don’t want you telling me anything about what
I think, clear? I just want your opinion on my taking a human woman
for pleasure. And, remember, I have only done this once, so the
likelihood of my killing her is very strong,” I say sternly. I’m
tired of all this talk about a human.

Layern studies my face, and when he
speaks, his tone is guarded. “Well, based on your experience with
our women, your patience with the people in the land, and the fact
you vowed not to kill any more humans, I think that you should get
her out of your system. While we are here getting the business in
order, Cess could be your Giver, instead of Ravla. Besides, you
thought about Cess while destroying Ravla, she’s TKO!” Layern says,
smiling.

“Interesting, you all want me to have
this girl. What if she falls in love?” I ask.

“After you have your fill of her, just
go back to being the ass you are, and she will stop loving you
instantly, brother,” Showken says, with that stupid grin on his
face.

“Listen, you have Ravla here and that
doesn’t keep your mind off her, so just have that girl, as you call
her,” Gemi says, irritated.

“I will give your thoughts some
consideration, but right now my Giver is here, and I plan on
taking. I know you all plan on going to the party. I can still hear
all my brothers if I choose, so if I detect any problems, Gemi, I
will punish every one of you for all mistakes. We cannot risk
anyone’s curiosity. Thank you, brothers, now I’ll be getting some
food and heading back, Monday is all business,” I say, glaring at
each brother. I don’t give anyone a chance to respond, but Showken
yells as I walk away “I bet she will feel real good, brother!” I
truly hate Showken sometimes. I know that if I didn’t have this
pull towards Cess, she would already be in Showken’s bed. I make my
way back to Ravla.

I look at my ravished bed and smile
with pride. She will wake soon, and I will finish my time with her.
Ravla takes what I give with no complaint. I will always keep her,
even after my marriage. I turn on the shower, just climbing in, as
my body heat is enough to warm me. Why is Cess on my mind? Why do I
desire her so? That should not be. I will keep Ravla around to keep
me focused. It will only be six months, and then I will be home,
away from her. The next trip I will pick the area, Gemi’s choice is
costing me my sanity.

I can’t believe they actually invited
them. Now, I’m going to a party where Mr. Walk You Off His Property
may be there. Well, I won’t be humiliated this time, and seeing him
again might cure this feeling I have about him. It may only be
because it’s been months since I’ve had sex. Like, he is the most
handsome man I have ever seen. Who wouldn’t want that man? I need
to have on the perfect outfit. If I know Donna Marie, Travis will
be there. I so wish Travis would fall off the face of the earth.
Travis and I were dating for the first 2 ½ years of college, until
I caught him kissing Lauren. I thought we would get married one
day, and he broke my heart. I trusted his “I love you,” and it was
nothing but a lie. The more I think about that hurt, the more I
know getting involved with anyone is out of the question,
especially Draken. Wanting him should be far from my mind, yet
there is something different about him, in fact about them all.
I’ve never seen one man controlling his family, the way they all
dispersed. I know in the Lamil family, my dad can be very
demanding, but with Draken, they never said a word, and it’s almost
like they knew to leave; my dad doesn’t possess that type of power.
It is another hot day here in Paradise Valley, Arizona, the
temperature is reaching over 115 degrees today. I know that the
party will lead to the pool at some point, so I will make sure to
pack a sexy swimsuit. Hmm, I think my pink and black bikini, the
one with hints of glitter in the material, will be perfect. Yes,
I’m going to be hot! I will make that Draken drool, and then I
won’t even speak to him. That will teach him never to treat me that
way again. I feel like dancing. I walk over to my iPod, place my
earplugs in and start moving. I love to dance. Dancing is a release
of many things, and right now, dancing will help make sure my
nerves are under control for the party. The way I dance is a
mixture of ballroom with ballet and hip-hop. If my parents saw me
grinding right now, they would think I’d lost it. I just love the
freedom of dancing. When I feel the tap on my shoulder I jump,
because everyone knows if you knock and I don’t answer, that just
means no company is wanted. I turn and it’s my twin. D never gives
me any personal space.
