Dark Signs

23

B rayden was conveniently parked not too far from the entrance to the park, ready to take us home.

I had found out Val had given Brayden his own apartment in the building we resided in, a few floors down, and he wanted for nothing.

We all piled into the sleek SUV and took off.

Not long after we pulled into the underground parking garage, we all loaded into the elevator, Brayden getting off on his floor before we rode it to the top.

My head was heavy upon my neck, my limbs felt like they were tied down with lead. Val propped me up against him protectively.

The ride up was quiet, the only sounds were heavy inhaling followed by groaned and almost pained sounding exhales.

“Fuck, could elevator be any slower.” Caz exclaimed in anticipation.

I had to agree, I knew what was coming, and if I wasn't so boneless and sated, I would be vibrating with want and need.

Finally, the elevator dinged with our arrival at our floor and the doors slid slowly open.

Vaylen led me to our bedroom, we were followed closely by Killian, Navien and Cairn. Before I could do it myself, Val was helping me out of my robe .

Next, he undid each button of my sundress agonisingly slowly. Behind us, the others were all pulling off their pants and shirts until nothing was left except the glorious inked skin of three of my men.

Each so different, yet each were mine.

Once Val was finished with my dress, he stepped back, admiring my naked form. Grass had stained my knees and the palms of my hands, there were sprigs of pines in my mess of hair and dirt under my fingernails. Red hand prints covered my hips and ass.

“You are so perfect.” He said with conviction as he led me to the bed, and hand in hand we sat. Nav, Caz and Kill joined us. “Are you certain you are ready?” He asked, a little uncertainty tainting his voice.

“I've never been more certain of anything,” I smiled.

“Come,” Caz said, patting the bed in front of him. I crawled over the plush covers and settled in before him. “What will be most comfortable for you, my love?” He asked.

I didn't even have to think about it, I straddled him, my thighs encompassing his, our chests touching.

“You're insatiable.” He teased, I leaned into him, placing a sweet kiss to his lips.

I felt Navien come up behind me, nestling himself between Caz's legs, too. He peppered the skin of my shoulder with kisses and swirls of his tongue. I sighed a happy, contented sigh.

Nav and Caz entwined fingers around me, their hands landing on my hips.

“You ready, love?” Cairn asked, I wasn’t certain if he was asking me or Navien, but I nodded all the same.

Before I could think anything more of it, they struck. Their fangs pierced either side of my throat, their chests vibrating with their deep purrs as my blood hit their tongues and slid down their throats. Their fangs withdrew as they drank deeply, in long, dragging pulls.

My head rocked back as I melted into the feel of them.

Like what happened with Kill, their memories became my own, their feelings my feelings. Their love for one another, their love for me was unmatched .

Intense feelings of pride and honour and need filled me as they drank me in.

It was over too quickly, they withdrew from my skin, their lips tinged red with my blood.

Killian come up beside us then, his switchblade sharp and ready. “You're pretty little teeth won't cut it love.” He said lightly, but the luminosity of his stare as he watched said he felt anything other than light. “Nav first, dove.”

My head spun to Navien, his eyes were hungry as they locked with mine. He nodded once and Killian dragged the sharp blade down the side of his throat, just small enough for me to latch onto.

I licked my lips once as a crimson bead of Navien's blood rushed to the surface. “Take, me darling. Bond me to you.” He said, arching his neck. “It would be my greatest pleasure.”

I slowly lowered my lips to his skin, the moment his blood touched my lips, stars flashed behind my eyes, a rush of warmth and belonging filled me. I drank him in, each sip I took from him sealed us together. Our fates entwined, our lives entwined.

“Fuck, I love you.” Navien said softly, his fingers tangling themselves in my hair.

“Thats enough, little one.” Vaylen spoke.

I lifted my lips from Navien's warm flesh, our eyes locked before I descended on his lips in a decadent kiss.

I could have stayed there for the rest of the night, our lips locked, our hearts beating as one, but Killian spoke, his voice cutting through the haze. “Cairn now, love.”

His flesh had already been opened for me, his blood flowing freely.

“Go to him, darling girl.” Nav motioned.

My lips once more found the wound Killian had inflicted, my tongue lapped up the blood that dripped lazily before I drank deeply from Cairn.

As before, the bond between Cairn and I quickly snapped into place, another piece of me unlocking, fitting itself inside of me, making my life make sense.

His blood was smokier, bolder as it swelled within me, mixing with Naviens' .

A quick squeeze of my hips pulled me from my thoughts, my lips leaving Cairn's flesh, the wound almost healed. “I love you, poppet. I always have and I always will.

You are mine now.” Cairn spoke the words like a vow.

I smiled, the flavours of Nav and Caz still danced across my tongue.

“Come, little love.” Killian said as he pulled me to him.

As I climbed off Cazs’ lap and into Killian's, I watched as Nav and Caz embraced, their lips finding each other, passionately showing their love for one another, for me.

“There will be no knife for me love. I want you to bite, to hurt, to break my skin with nothing but your teeth. I want you to show me how much you want this.” His stare was intimidating, but I knew it as something more. Something pure, love.

“I don't know – “ I started.

“You can, and you will, dove.” He nodded. “The way you take my punishment shows me you can.” He brought my wrist to his lips, placing a gentle kiss to the inner side, the blue of my veins stark against my pale skin. He held his wrist up for me to do the same. “When I bite, you bite, use the pain I cause as your catalyst.” His tongue swirled across my flesh, eliciting a soft moan to fall from my lips. “Now take from me and bind me to you.”

He didn't leave room for second guesses as his fangs punctured my skin, driving them deep within my vein. The pain lanced through me with white hot fire.

And I did, I did use that as a catalyst as my teeth closed around his wrist and I bit down.

“Harder” He growled, his fangs still lodged in my wrist.

I bit down harder, my jaw locking as I finally broke the skin. His tangy and sweet blood, like ripe citrus and berries flooded my mouth and I swallowed deeply.

Killian finally withdrew his fangs. “Perfection.” He whispered, lowering his mouth to the wound he had created and started to drink.

The bond snapped into place between us, it grew stronger and stronger with each sip and pull from one anothers veins until finally, our hearts beat as one, sharing the rhythm with Navien and Cairn. “You are my everything now, dove.” He said, a little breathless.

“And you are mine.” I sighed back.

Vaylen watched as Killian and I shared kisses, he pumped his cock in and out of a heavy fist. “My turn now, mon petit diable. ” He said with a curl of his fingers, motioning for me to join him. I crawled across the wide expanse of bed until we were face to face. He tipped my chin up, his raven tresses falling in waves across his forehead as he looked me over, admiring the marks of my bonds.

These men weren't just mine, they were each others, they were Vaylen's before they were mine. A sense of pride and love filled my chest, the feeling emanating from three distinct points within me.

Val lowered me to the bed, sliding himself between my thighs, I wrapped them around him, enveloping him with me. His hard cock prodded at my entrance.

“You will be mine, mon amour.”

“I already am.” I breathed and he thrust into me. His cock sliding home in one swift motion. “This just makes it official.”

He growled into my ear, I watched on in awe as he filled me, each grind of his hips and each pulse of his muscles as he steadied himself above me.

He looked down to where we were joined, I was stretched around him. “Fuck, you are too perfect.” His voice was a sin. “If I couldn't feel you on me, squeezing me tightly, I would think you weren't real, an apparition.” He said, each languid, lazy thrust and grind of his hips made sparks flood my veins. “Are you ready?”

I nodded, “More than.” I breathed shallowly, scratching my nails across his back. He shuddered under my touch.

His lips kicked up in a hungry smile, golden fang glinting in the muted light. He brought his own wrist to his mouth, tearing quickly and efficiently into the flesh, his blood quickly pooling.

He brought his wrist down, dripping his blood into my eagerly awaiting mouth. It wasn't enough. I needed my lips on him, to drink from him, for him to drink from me, to have him thrusting and fucking me while doing so.

Pulling the thoughts from my unguarded mind, he did as I wanted. My lips parted around the warm skin of his wrist, quickly swallowing him down. He was lightning quick as he brought his fangs down on my breast, the nippled hard and beaded.

I gasped as the pain quickly turned into pleasure, his thrusts turning frenzied as he alternated his thrusts with his deep pulls from my blood. My pulse echoed through my body, my hips undulated and writhed as I drank him just as deeply.

His flavour on my tongue was rich and deep, spiced fruits and thick chocolate, decadent and ancient.

“I'm not going to last much longer, mon amour. ” Vaylen said against my breast. His breathing ragged, crimson staining his lips.

“Come for me.” I whispered, pulling his face back down to his puncture wounds. My fingers tangled in his hair as I held him there. Grinding my hips and taking long greedy sips from his wrist.

“We do this together.” He breathed.

“Oh fuck.” I whimpered, and then with a final thrust, he stilled, spilling inside of me sending me over the edge with a gasping moan.

Val lay there, still and sated on top of me, his breathing matching my own, our four hearts beating together in unison as we basked in the warmth of our bond.

Nav, Caz and Kill all joined us, snuggling in close, keeping Val and I protected in our vulnerable states. Their arms wrapped around us, our legs all tangling together.

The feeling of complete wholeness filled me.

This was where I was meant to be.

This was my home.

All the dark signs showed me the way.
