A Surrender Of Hope (Umbra Hunters #3)

Meyer

“ L ennox!” I cling to him, mouth agape, as he strides confidently out of Valen’s room. My eyes flick up and down the long length of the hall, and I sigh in relief when I see there’s no one here to witness Lennox carting me around in the nude. “I am naked,” I practically screech at him, keeping my breasts pressed to his chest while trying to reach around awkwardly to cover my bare ass with my hands.

I scowl when he laughs, eyes alight with mischief as he holds me in one arm and slaps my ass with the other. “So am I,” he points out, turning down another hall and kicking a door to the right open.

“And you’re okay with anyone in the castle seeing us like this?” I ask, baffled by his lack of modesty. Nox glowers down at me for that remark and smacks my ass again. Hard! “The hell, Nox? Stop it. That hurts!”

“You think I would allow anyone to see you like this?” he asks, slamming the door shut behind us, the sound echoing around the lavish rooms we walk into. I blink in surprise, taking in the muted tones of the black and cream-colored room. The walls are a soft creamy color, reflecting the light streaming from the windows on the far side of the enormous room, but all the furnishings are black. The heavy wood furniture starkly contrasts the pale color of the walls.

“I don't know,” I respond offhandedly, my attention on the beautiful room. It's so bold yet decorated in a way that it all works perfectly. My stomach lodges in my throat as I’m suddenly dropped on the bed below me. Nox follows me down, his thick corded arms boxing me in as he hovers over my body.

“I would never let someone outside my Legion see my mate that way. I would remove their eyes before I stole their soul and condemned them to an eternal hell in the afterlife,” he rasps, eyes locked on mine, hand grasping my chin and refusing to let me look away from the intensity I see burning in their depths. “Father had all the guards removed because he knew I would kill them for looking at you. So there is no reason to worry about someone other than my brother seeing your body.”

“That seems a little drastic. You wouldn't actually kill someone,” I hedge, then frown as Nox simply stares at me.

“What would you do if another female?—”

“Do not finish that sentence,” I snarl, a rage so dark blooming in my chest at the thought of Nox being naked with another girl that I actually gasp in shock at my need for violence. I can feel my body shudder as my fingers dig into Nox’s arms, and I have to shake my head to try and clear away the disturbing thought flashing through my mind.

Nox grunts above me, his eyes flutter shut on a moan, and I gasp in horror when I see droplets of blood drip down his arms from where my fingers dip into his skin. I tear my hands off and gape at the newly sharpened points of my nails as they slowly return to their small half-crescent shapes.

What the fuck? Were those actual claws? “Oh my god! I’m so sorry!” My eyes dart back to the tiny wounds on Nox’s arms only to watch the small cuts slowly knit back together until all that’s left is golden skin and swirls of black ink. Nox opens his eyes and grins, the sudden and terrifying appearance of freaking claws not fazing him in the least, while I feel like I might hyperventilate. He only nods in understanding, like my jealousy and rage excites him.

“It’s okay,” he soothes, then nods at my hands. “Now double what you're feeling, and that’s where I’m currently at,” he whispers, hand moving up to push a piece of my long hair away from my face. “Murder would be the least of their problems. I would eradicate them so completely, that nothing would be left. Now,” Nox murmurs, leaning closer to me and making me shiver as the warmth from his body causes goosebumps to rise on my arms. “You’ve been around too many others without my scent on you, and I’m…” he pauses and tilts his head to the side like what he’s admitting to me is almost painful for him.

“I’m having difficulty with my control. I need to be inside you, to feel you again, and I need to know you’re okay with that. That you’re not too sore because I don't think I have it in me to go slow right now. But I refuse to hurt you, Meyer. It would kill me if I did.”

I blink up at him in surprise, finding it oddly considerate that he’s telling me this when I honestly just expected him to flip me over and fuck me silly. It’s a different approach to how we normally handle things between us, but I don't hate it. It’s sweet. I wrinkle my nose at that thought and nod as Nox moves closer, his lips only a breath away from mine.

“Now, Meyer. I need an honest answer. Do you want me to stop and find Razar to work this energy off in the fighting pit, or can I fuck you? I’ll leave right now if you need me to, Little Demon,” he rasps, a hand moving to my body, his thick fingers tracing my ribs, dancing along my sides and making me ache with need as heat pools in my belly.

“Don’t you dare stop, Lennox,” I moan, grasping the arm that’s wrapped around me and dig my nails into his skin.

“Thank the Gods,” he growls, spreading me wide and I shudder as cool air meets my sex. I instinctively try and close my legs, but Nox’s hands press to the inside of my upper thighs, pinning them down and spreading me wide for his appraisal. I’m about to offer to go clean up because I’m still dripping with Valen’s release, but my lips fall open with a gasp as Nox slides a cool, thick finger over the folds of my wet heat. His eyes are brighter than usual, freckles of silver magic sparking in the depths of his onyx eyes as he groans and leans forward, pressing a kiss to my pubic bone.

I gasp, arching my back and pressing myself closer to him, fisting the black bedding underneath me as two fingers press into my cunt. I wiggle my hips, writhing and fucking myself harder onto his hand. He chuckles, his warm breath whispering across my pussy as I moan again.

“So needy,” he mutters, heated eyes locked on my face watching me closely as he finger fucks me…. HARD. I scream, pleasure and pain mixing so closely together that I don’t know if I want him to stop or do it again. He pauses, eyes searching mine to make sure I’m okay before he continues and I nod, desprate for more. He curves his fingers up, hitting me in that sweet spot, and I see stars as my orgasm crashes around me. The speed at which Nox just pulled that release from me is embarrassing, but I don't have time to think about it right now.

I pant, limp on the bed as Nox stands, dick stiff and rigid as he reaches for me, tugging me to sit up on the bed and groans as my tits sway, and he leans in, pushing me to slide up the bed, but I bite my lip and shake my head.

“What’s wrong?” he asks, his eyebrows drawing together in confusion.

I eye his hard cock and reach out, running a finger over the drop of pre-cum leaking from the slit of his length. Nox hisses, shutting his eyes in pleasure as his hips buck from my touch. I grin, loving the way I feel in control, and wrap my hand around his cock, stroking him from root to tip. He’s hard as stone despite his release only minutes ago, with thick ridges and veins covering his throbbing length.

“Fuck, Little Demon, keep going,” he purrs, his head tipping back and fingers gripping my hair. I lick my lips and lean forward, run my tongue up one side of his dick, and move to do the same on the other side.

The taste of him explodes on my tongue as his fingers tangle themselves farther into my hair, pulling me closer. And I have a moment to actually taste him. I was so lost in what we were doing earlier I didn't get to enjoy each groan and jerk of his cock in my mouth. I wrap my lips around his thick cock, and suck lightly, making him curse under his breath as his hips buck forward again.

I’ve only ever given a man a blow job once before coming to the castle, and he was definitely not as big or thick as Nox. He’s not as long as Creed or Valen, but he’s definitely the thickest of the three. The stretch that I felt when he first entered me is still on replay in my mind as I suck him even harder

My jaw aches a little as I hollow my cheeks, letting my tongue wrap around him as I go. I stare up at him, sucking again, and his eyes roll back, his dick throbbing in my mouth as he guides me down the rest of him until the head brushes the back of my throat.

“Yes, Little Demon, take my cock in that pretty throat of yours,” he grinds out, pulling back slightly before thrusting back into my mouth. My eyes water as I fight the need to gag as he hits the back of my throat again, and he curses, pulling his length from between my lips and reaching down, yanking me to him as he crawls up the bed.

“Enough! I need to be inside you when I come,” he says, his voice low and gravelly as he reaches into his side table and grabs a small bottle of lube, trickling a small amount on himself as he stares at me. I tilt my head in question, knowing I’m drenched, and he chuckles, grabbing my legs and heaving them over his shoulders as he lines himself up at my entrance. “Valen and I already fucked you pretty hard. I don't want to hurt you,” he explains. I open my mouth to tell him he doesn’t need to worry about it, but my breath is knocked from my lungs as he drives himself in between my thighs and fills me so completely that my eyes roll back in my head.

“Fuck yes, just like that, Meyer,” he purrs, pulling back and thrusting in a second time, his thick cock dragging along my inner walls, making my muscles flutter around him. I grip his shoulders as he widens his legs, spreading me open and pounding into me at a punishing pace.

“Nox!” I pant, my body tingling as I feel another orgasm build inside me. “Holy shit! I’m going to come.” I squeal as he sits up, dropping one of my legs as he spreads his thighs wide, opening me up to him as he hooks one of my legs over his arm and presses it high, the angle making his cock strike that perfect spot inside me. His black eyes fill with a challenge as he continues to fuck into me and lift my leg higher and higher until it’s almost touching my head.

He sinks low to the bed and thrusts his hips upwards, hitting me with enough force that I shatter in his arms, clinging to him like a lifeline while my vision dims at the edges.

“That’s right, Little Demon, come all over my cock,” he growls, his chest heaving as he rests his forehead on mine. It’s so intense and I feel my pussy clamp around him even tighter, as he hisses in approval. His hand releases my leg that he’s been holding in the air as he pulls his hard cock from my wet heat, making me whimper at the empty feeling.

“Fuck, you feel so amazing! I’m not going to last if you continue to squeeze me like that.” Nox wraps his arm around my back, hooking my legs around his waist before rolling to his back and pulling me on top of him.

“Nox!” I squeal, my arms moving to brace myself on his broad shoulders as he surges upward into my center, keeping us locked together. I bite my lip and hold most of my weight on my knees as I look down at him. His long black hair is splayed over the pillows, and the small braids and silver beads look almost messy. I grin, loving how the sex-mussed hair looks just as good on him as his perfect Viking braids.

“Ride me.” The command is short and clipped, forcing me to move my hips in small circular movements, my body sucking him deeper as he presses up, making me cry out. He keeps one hand on my hip and strokes a finger over my swollen clit, causing me shiver on top of him.

“Nox, I’m so close,” I gasp, moving my body faster on top of his. He groans, letting his head fall back to the pillows behind him as he watches me lose control. He pinches my clit in response, making me throw my head back and scream as my inner muscles spasm around him.

“Fuck!” Nox snarls, sitting up and bringing us chest to chest. He grips the globes of my ass in each hand and slams me down hard on his cock as he wraps his lips around one of my nipples, sucking it into his mouth with a greedy growl; then, we’re moving again.

My eyes feel heavy, and I’m panting for breath as Nox’s hands grip my body and turn me to my stomach, yanking my hips in the air. He keeps one hand pressed to my lower back, making me arch into him with my face pressed into the bedding, and enters me in one smooth thrust making me whimper as my sore muscles spasm around him. I pull forward trying to give myself some room from his brutal thrusts, but his fingers tighten on my ass, keeping me pinned in place. He makes me take every inch of him, makes me feel every pulse of pleasure he wrings from my body.

“You feel so fucking good with your perfect pussy wrapped tight around my cock,” Lennox murmurs, his hands gripping my ass and spreading me as one finger brushes over my back entrance. I freeze, nervous butterflies fluttering in my stomach as Nox continues to run his finger over me.

“Is anal off the table?” he asks, and I hold my breath, not sure what to say. I haven't really messed around with anal, though the thought isn't unappealing. “Don’t worry,” he whispers, his finger rubbing my tight hole. “I won’t take you here, not today... but soon?” he asks, and I slowly nod, making him hum in approval.

I shiver, not sure if I’m excited or nervous at the thought. Nox wraps me in his arms, pulling my back to his chest. I feel so small in his hold, his arms banding around me easily, supporting my body as if I weighed nothing to him. He thrusts harder and harder, his once steady rhythm breaking as his hips snap forward, fucking into me while chasing his own release. His hand runs down my stomach, trailing in between my legs, and his fingers start to rub my clit in small circles.

I whimper again, laying my head back on his broad chest as he continues to force unimaginable pleasure through every inch of my trembling body.

“Now, scream for me, Little Demon,” he growls, pinching my clit between his thumb and finger. I jerk in his arms, a scream tearing through my lips as my cunt clamps down hard around his cock, milking him for everything he has.

A strangled groan rumbles from his lips, his hard length swelling even more inside me before he roars his release, his dick twitching deep inside me before we both sag into each other. Our skin glistens with sweat, and Nox gently pulls his softening cock from my sore and battered center. He reaches between us, his finger pressing into my opening and shoving his release deep inside me when it starts to leak out.

“What are you doing?” I moan, panting as I look at his stunning face.

“I… I want you to smell like me,” he admits in a soft voice, cheeks pinking when I arch a brow in surprise. “It’s a Demon thing, don’t make fun of me or I’ll just bend you back over and go for a third time,” he growls, leaning forward, nipping at my neck and making me melt into his arms. “And I don’t think your pussy can handle another pounding after all this.”

I nod, wincing a little as I try to move Nox’s hand from between my legs. I’m more than a little sore down there and I gasp when I stupidly clench my muscles, wanting to make sure my lady bits are still functioning.

“Shit. I think you two broke my vagina,” I admit with a groan, wiggling closer to him as he unwillingly moves his hand from my sex so I can cuddle into him. My eyelids flutter shut as he slowly lays us down on his bed, cradling my body in his, and running his big hands over my still trembling body. I settle into his embrace, my heavy breath slowing as I calm down.

“Rest for a little bit; you’ve had a long few days and need some sleep,” Nox whispers into my ear, and I nod sleepily, already drifting into a peaceful slumber. I feel warm lips press to my temple as I fall to sleep in his arms.
