Between the Marshal & the Vampire(46)



"I’m going to take you like this," the vampire warned as he nipped at her earlobe. "Both of us will be inside you at once. Would you like that, Mariel? Can you take us both?"

He cupped her bared breasts and played with her nipples. Beneath them, Clay groaned his appreciation of the sight and reached between her legs to finger her spread lips. Mariel clutched a wrist of each male as she writhed between them.

"Do it," she pleaded. "I want you both together inside me. Want you to fill me so full…"

Vellum groaned softly against her ear. "You'll have us, beautiful Mariel. Everything you desire."

His spit slick fingers delved between her buttocks and found her opening. He was careful with her and it made her sigh to think that such a "monster" could be so gentle and patient with her. He took his time, all the while kissing the side of her throat and along her shoulders. He teased her nipples as he eased the first finger inside her. Below, Clay held still, practically vibrating inside her, as Vellum carefully worked her open.

"Don't hurt her," he warned the vampire.

Vellum kissed the top of Mariel's spine, practically melting her. "I would sooner tear out my own throat, Clay. I'd advise you to concentrate on your own efforts to please Mariel 'lest you come up short."

"I'm not coming up short," Clay growled back.

Mariel had to smile at the irritation in his voice but then she could only gasp and clench around him as he swiveled his hips and rolled himself deeper inside her.

"Oh, Clay," she moaned.

"I hear you, beautiful. Doing everything I can to make you feel good. We both are."

"I need you," she panted. She reached back and dragged her nails across Vellum's muscular buttock. "I need you now."

"Patience," the vampire murmured, but she felt him move into place. "Relax for us. Breathe."

She concentrated, but the initial invasion still stole her breathe. Clay stroked and caressed her and Vellum moved with excruciating slowness but it was still a shock. When a pair of fangs sank into her, she groaned with relief as the familiar thrill of lust rushed through her. As her body sang with ecstasy, the vampire pushed all the way into her. Mariel cried out, overwhelmed. Overjoyed.

The feeling of fullness was like nothing she'd ever experienced before, but it was more than the physical sensation that plugged her head with stars. It was the knowledge that she had these two powerful men inside her at once, that she had connected them with her body. It brought tears to her eyes and she was unashamed as they spilled down her cheeks.

"Mariel—are you hurting?" Clay asked, eyes wide.

"No," she whispered. "I love this. I love you. Both of you."

Vellum muttered something against her neck as he continued to feed from her. He wrapped an arm around her waist and hugged her tight as he began to thrust into her. When he finally pulled his fangs free, he panted, "Be careful what you say."

"It's the truth," she swore, "and you feel it, too."

Vellum didn't reply, but his thrusts grew deeper, more demanding, and Clay responded to the challenge of pleasing her, bucking up beneath her to drive home the point that they both wanted her as desperately as she wanted them. It was a perfect union and Mariel reached her peak far sooner than she expected to, her muscles clenching and unclenching around both of the cocks that pierced her.

"God!" she cried out.

"Mariel," Clay groaned. He thrust twice more and then frantically reached down to pull himself out of her. His essence spurted across his chest and belly mere seconds later.

Behind her, Vellum didn't stop. He began to growl, and the sound made Mariel swoon with desire. When he finally froze and bent his head over her shoulder, she imagined she could feel him filling her with his release.

"I hope you get the message that we're meant to be here," Clay said, sounding winded. He flung an arm across his eyes. "You're stuck with us, vampire."

"So I'm beginning to realize." Vellum lifted his head, but only far enough to rest his chin on Mariel's shoulder. It was such an easy, familiar action that Mariel knew she would always remember it. "I maintain my original declaration that you're both fools. My focus is on my destiny."

"Who's to say we're not part of that?" she challenged.

His chuckled warmed her skin. "Clearly not I."

They didn't linger much longer at camp. Clay could tell the mountain pulled at Vellum with the same elemental tug that the moon held over the tides. All too soon they were on the move, heading toward Vellum's destiny.

During a break for Mariel to relieve herself, Vellum brought his horse alongside Clay's. Both males looked out at the mountain as the vampire quietly spoke.

"I expected you to keep her happy and satisfied in Everton Fort, Clay."

"Mariel's headstrong. You should know that by now."

From the corner of his eye, Clay saw Vellum glance at him. "She doesn't belong out here."

"She belongs wherever she wants to belong. I'm not her master."

"No, you're not. And that may prove to be unfortunate for all of us."

Clay had heard enough. "Mariel's allowed to feel and do what she likes. I'll never attempt to change that and you're a bastard if you think I'm wrong. That's what we love about her. It's your fault if you can't see that or admit it."
