Void(112)

“I missed you,” he whispered against my lips.

“I missed you, too.”

A strong arm turned me around, but Hyde stayed at my back, his lips brushing along my neck as Render pulled me in next. “You going to bite me, vamp?” I teased, the meaningful moment from our tearful goodbye ringing in my memory.

Rolling his eyes, Render leaned in close, hovering his lips over mine with teasing intent. There was just a millimeter of space between us, both hovering between a kiss I knew would solidify our bond. “You going to kiss me, Void?” he asked in a husky voice. It was all the permission I needed.

Leaning up to close the distance, I threaded our lips together in a blinding twist of passion while Hyde rubbed his hands up and down my arms. This time, power lashed out at me with a snap, more white smoke flooding my body so fiercely I had to hold onto Render to keep steady. It was so fast I didn’t have time to orient myself.

“Fuck, I’m so happy to be rid of that. One crippling sense of hunger was enough,” Render replied. I smiled against him, expecting him to hand me over to Quade for the last bit of my gifts. I was feeling almost myself. The vast nothingness settled in my bones with a resounding sigh.

But instead of pulling away, Render cupped my neck with his large hand and pulled me close. I watched in awe as his long fangs descended, and he sank his teeth into the plush skin above my cleavage.

Pleasure like a tidal wave soared through me as his venom entered my bloodstream. I was right on the edge, ready to melt between him and Hyde. And then, just as quickly as he’d fed me back my powers, he groaned as he swallowed a mouthful of me and then pulled away. He licked the wound, sealing it shut with a chuckle as I whimpered at the loss of contact.

“I’ve been craving you for two godsdamned months,” he admitted, his tone now husky with a different kind of hunger.

I swallowed hard, my face flushed and my breathing quick. I turned to Quade next, my eyes hooded with the new influx of my powers. I was turned on, and I felt that familiar buzzing and pull between the five of us that I’d been missing.

“Devicka,” Quade murmured before yanking me out of Hyde and Render’s reach. I fell forward, crashing into his chest. “Once this is done, you realize I’m never letting you go again, right?” he asked while lifting his hands up my sides, pushing my shirt up as he grazed my rib cage.

“I sure hope not,” I whispered.

His kiss was like shutting a door. It was final. Determined. Delicate but forceful all at once. His lips moved like a promise, sealing our bond together with trust and desire. The Void flowed into me like a long-lost lover, burrowing itself into my soul, like it was happy to be home. And for the first time in my life, I was thankful for my power. I was thankful that it brought me to them.

The last of the Void fed back into me, and I breathed it in, welcoming it like an old friend. I felt complete. I felt like me. The Void wasn’t my weakness. It was my strength. It just took me awhile to realize it.

All four guys closed in on me with hunger and pleasure in their expressions. Green eyes, silver, blue-gray, brown. They surrounded me like I was the center of their universe, and they couldn’t resist the way I brought them into my gravity.

I don’t know who touched me first. One second, the sexual tension and need held us in a thick pause, and the next, that pause snapped like a string, and they were on me. I was lifted up in the air by Gritt, and Quade tugged my pants and panties down in one swoop, taking my shoes and socks with it. Like a choreographed dance, Gritt turned and lowered me, and then Render was ripping my sports bra clear down the middle at the back. I gasped as my breasts were bared, and then I was totally nude at their center, and I couldn’t wait a single second longer to be touched.

“I need you. All of you.”

I loved knowing that I was the reason they were hard and wanting. That I had put that hunger in their expressions. Just like that, I felt their bonds inside of me again, and my heart soared, adding to the feeling of rightness.

“Fuck yes,” Render said, and then his fangs were on me again, right at that sweet spot on my neck, making my head loll to the side in a grip of pleasure and snap of pain.

I was lifted up again, this time by Quade, and I felt his scratchy jaw rub against my cheek. “We’re going to worship you, Devi,” he whispered hungrily in my ear.

I couldn’t reply because Hyde had stripped down completely and was kneeling in front of me. Quade lifted my thighs, and with Render’s help, my bent legs were propped over Hyde’s shoulders so that his face was right at my core.

“Hyde,” I begged. I was so damn wet, and when Quade started fondling my breasts, I thought I was going to combust if I wasn’t touched where I needed it most.

But instead of moving to where I wanted him, Hyde just continued to look at my swollen cunt, his silver eyes lit up with excitement. “I believe this is the best view I’ve seen all my life. And that’s saying something, considering I once watched a two-mouthed hooker pucker up for an ex-rocker zombie. The things she could do…”

I yanked on his white hair and shoved his face toward my needy center. “Stop talking about zombies getting blowjobs and make me come.”

He chuckled and leaned in, allowing me to feel the vibrations of his amusement right on my clit as his hands gripped my thighs. “Our mate knows what she wants.”

Then he finally leaned in and blew a breath of red magic right at my core.
