Dark Souls Academy: The Sacrifice (Hell Dimension #4)

Chapter 4

CHAPTER FOUR

M y smile faded as I left the apartment. Though it was just a few floors away from mine, it offered little solace. None of my mates were in sight, which was a relief. I needed to escape after being overwhelmed by the lust radiating from my best friend and her mate. The intense craving to feed gripped me like a bull, and I fought against it, trying to shake off the relentless hunger.

My feet hit the floor hard as I ran, but the sound was thankfully muffled by the carpet. I fled to the place no one else went. A place near and dear to my heart now. The roof.

The curses and spells on the building were irrelevant since I had bested them before. I didn’t think anyone knew that little detail, which meant I would have the roof to myself. A smirk played on my lips as I glanced at the bucket of cold water, I’d used to counteract the curses.

Despite the pain and struggle of reaching the roof initially, my determination had never wavered. Lilah had been assigned to Night Duty, facing a horde of demons no slave ever survived. I had found a loophole in the rules. Demons did love their loopholes.

After jumping off the roof three fucking times, and nearly killing myself each time, I found this place beautiful. A sanctuary, even.

I wish I could use the roof to save people again. How was I going to keep Zar or anyone else safe? How the fuck could I help any of them from inside of these walls? The Headmaster was bound by magic to not let anyone out, even if he wanted to. The only person that could was the delivery boy. I briefly wondered if I could become one.

According to the Headmaster, I would need keys from both the Light and Dark councils to open the walls. But the Light never ventured into Hell, making that an impossible task. Vehicles bringing demons were magically altered so that only the people inside could leave. A day after I woke up from my mating from the Goddess, I had a crazy idea that didn’t pan out. I clung under a vehicle as it slipped through the shimmering wall, but it was futile, and it left me unconscious for a day. It was reckless, I knew.

The angry faces of my mates when I awoke made me smirk as the thought hit me. Knowing that they cared warmed my heart, but after that, their concern turned bitter. My desire to go the extra mile to get the answers didn’t sit well with them. Wanting to hide in a room and never come back out was ridiculous, though.

Our first reaction was to escape and run. Now, it was to fight. We just needed a weakness to exploit. I still needed answers, but rebellions didn’t run themselves.

Finally, I reached the roof and taking a deep breath of the surprisingly cool air, I moved to the edge. My hands rested on the border and sighed. I let all my worries and stress out for a while. Well, I tried to. If I didn’t figure out a way to stop Lucifer, the weight of all those deaths might actually kill me. My head dropped.

The Fae forest and creatures moved around down below. They had to fight to survive too. The professors liked to capture and use them in their classes or spells. Still, I wished my life was as carefree to only worry about avoiding capture. I’d welcome it.

I smiled when a foxlike creature jumped onto another, scaring the crap out of it. Who would have thought that I’d be jealous of hunted creatures in Hell? In the distance I could see some of my faction patrolling the grounds.

I soaked up the silence until grunting and crashing noises startled me. My heart rose in my throat and wanted to choke me. Or at least that was how it felt as the people roared their way through the magic that I thought would let me be alone. Why would someone fight through all those curses and spells to get up here?

My heart slammed against my chest. Fighting didn’t sound appealing in my overwhelmed state. My head was too clogged with shit to focus on. Couldn’t I get a small fucking break? Regardless, I stood with a groan as the sounds got closer. They were going to make it through. The splashing of water told me that whoever it was, they had some amount of intelligence.

“Great. I can’t even have my quiet place anymore,” I muttered to myself. “I need a vacation.” When all this shit was over, maybe I’d get those words tattooed on my forehead because I bet, I’d never stop saying them.

The door swung open, slamming against the wall. The sound jolted me from my thoughts. I tensed until my mind told me whose scent drifted in the air. It might be mixed in with stale water and the sourness of a curse, but I recognized them. Dex was the first to appear. Since I had dimmed the bond link instead of locking it up tight, they knew my location, and I regretted it.

“Succy, my Queen. I can feel you. Let me massage your perfect body. You should never be as exhausted as you are right now. Come home, and you’ll be pampered like never before.” Damn, I never fully closed the bond, and Dex’s words sounded amazing. I was in trouble. His voice was a raspy purr that I loved as well. I wanted his hands, all their hands, on me. It would relax my racing mind and let me rest fully.

“Please,” Alaric’s voice joined in. His red eyes pierced through my soul.

Dex and Alaric stood in front of the door in their shifted forms.

Alaric’s skin was a rich, dark brown instead of his usual purple troll color. His troll and vampire side had almost morphed into each other. He stood taller and with heavier bulk, and his nose was long and hung close to his thin, dark lips. He had no eyelashes or eyebrows, which made him appear unhinged. He still looked like my Alaric, but on steroids.

Dex’s eyes were redder, and his horns were larger. His skin had a sparkle to it that reminded me of my Incubus dad. It was the sign of a mated Incubus. The scent of lust rolling off him had a lethal edge to it. His fangs were large and glinted dangerously.

Both of them were fucking delicious. The brothers weren’t with them, which meant I was in trouble. My two lovers had been with me from the beginning, and it would be hard to say no to them. But they had sided with Kain and locked me in my room as well, so they were on my shit list.

“No,” I said simply. My voice didn’t sound confident, so they took a few more steps toward me.

“Come on. What do we have to do to get you back? Without you, life is meaningless, my Queen. My heart is fucking broken.” Dex was a smooth talker. It used to be Alaric but with his more dominant, primal side awakened he liked to grunt and piggyback off other’s sweet words. Like he did right now.

I smirked despite myself. I missed them.

“You know I can’t. Not with how things are.” I stepped back toward the edge of the roof. I knew I could survive the jump, after all it wouldn’t be my first time.

“Please, don’t go. I miss you. Let’s just sit for a little while. Please.” Dex’s pleading tone stopped me in my tracks. I couldn’t ignore their needs, and I knew I had to give them this moment.

I sighed and sat back down. The chilled cement was just as inviting as before. The wide hopeful eyes looking back at me made guilt rise up in my throat. I hurt them by staying away.

They plopped down on either side of me. Alaric’s movement shook the cement under him. He winced as his eyes ran over his arms. He must have forgotten he was in his shifted form.

Smiling sheepishly at me, he let his body melt back into his more human form. The sepia-skinned, toned body, with rough hands that I slobbered over wasn’t as bulky but was fucking beautiful. Those hazel eyes were great to see. The way they flashed red, though, said he needed to feed. Again, a wave of guilt hit me. He would only be able to feed off my blood to fill full. Others could keep him alive but never satisfy him. It was the curse and blessing of being mated.

“Can I lay my head on your lap, my Queen?” Dex asked, his tone respectful. I nodded, grateful for his consideration.

Alaric grinned and the way his eyes asked to do the same made me smile. I nodded at him as well. “We can watch the stars together like we did in the tree,” Alaric said as we both lay down. He scooted me over, so I could use his shoulder as my pillow.

Dex snorted. “There aren’t stars, a moon, or a sun in Hell. The only reason we get light is because of the damned souls that the lands feed on.”

I ran my hands through his soft waves. He made a sound like a purr.

“We’re pretending, you ass. Ivy’s favorite thing to do on Earth was watch the stars,” Alaric grumbled as he playfully shoved Dex’s head, making me pull his hair on accident. Dex didn’t mind. He moved back to my lap, closer to my pussy, which I knew was on purpose. The sneaky fucker.

“Ahh, I’ve never seen the stars on Earth, but I hear they twinkle beautifully. Do you like…” he paused, “what is the study of stars called, brother?”

“Astronomy.” That covered a lot more than the stars, but I loved that Dex was sweet enough to ask.

“No, I didn’t like them like that. It was just something me and my friend did for fun. We’d try to make shapes out of the dots. But the stargazing was always a way to unwind the mind. It was difficult to do much when in hiding. I was too paranoid back then to leave the house most days.” I didn’t know why I was opening up because I couldn’t give in to them. But for a second, I’d enjoy their company.

“I wish I knew what they looked like.” That murmur wasn’t meant for me, but it gave me an idea.

I called on my fire magic. The energy of my Fae side grew just like my demon did with the Goddess-blessed mating, so I didn’t have to ask my magic. The energy rose out of me in sparkles. They formed into small balls and lifted into the air around us. They even twinkled like stars did. If they were more of a white color instead of yellow, they’d look perfect.

Dex gasped. “Stars are my new favorite thing. Hell really needs to get these!”

My body relaxed completely as he began to name off a few shapes he saw. Alaric played along and found a demon face and a cat. That just made Dex even more excited. He saw a panda, flowers, and a cock.

I called on my water magic this time. The energy froze and did the same as the fire. Except when the white balls lifted into the air, they burst. Snow fell around us. The magic didn’t stop or melt. My powers amazed even me sometimes.

Alaric gasped. The smile on his face made my heart swell. He had said once that he and his wolf missed the snow from his home. I wondered if that was still true, and I guess it was. Good.

“What is this?” Dex snuggled closer to me. “It’s cold.”

“That, my friend, is snow. One of my favorite things. My home is covered in this.” Alaric grabbed my hand and squeezed it.

“Damn, I’m missing out on a lot. My favorite things have to do with sex. And I guess writing poetry, but sex with my Queen is definitely the winner between those two.”

Alaric and I burst out laughing. Dex was too much. Ugh, I missed him. I missed them both. That was why I turned and kissed Alaric. It wasn’t because the hunger rose inside of me. When I moaned, the sound set something off inside of us all.

Our lips clashed together like wild, hungry beasts. Four hands ripped off my leather like it was paper. My shirt was gone in seconds. While Dex shredded my bra with his demon’s long claws, Alaric used his fangs and strength to relieve me of my pants. My underwear was practically burnt off. He didn’t waste any time. His face dove into my pussy and his moans vibrated my clit like a motor revving its engine.

I arched my back with my mouth opened wide. I was on the verge of coming if he kept swirling and flicking his tongue like a seasoned expert. My body tightened, my chest rising with the intensity.

Dex took advantage of my arched spine. My nipples and chest were wet from his tongue when he bunched my tits together and slid his thick cock between them, the girth slid smoothly through. I opened my mouth, and moved it closer to my breast, so the head of his cock slid through my eager lips.

We groaned in unison. I missed his taste, and Alaric’s rough fingers sliding inside me drove me to the brink of madness. Nothing mattered but my pleasure at this moment. “Yes, cum for us, our Queen. I’ve dreamed of fucking these amazing tits every night. Now, come on Alaric’s face so we can fuck you properly,” Dex grunted, thrusting into my cleavage. His words were exactly what I needed.

With a shout that sounded like a battle cry, my orgasm broke free. Gold glitter shot out of me from all angles. My demon horns grew even bigger.

The bliss hadn’t even begun to subside before Alaric’s thick cock slammed into my drenched core. The stretch was painful, but it was fucking magnificent. My soul felt right again with one of my mates in me.

“I hope you’re ready for me, my Queen, because I don’t know how long I can hold myself back,” Dex said as he pulled Alaric’s dick out of me. He helped me get to my knees with a desperate quiver to his touch. He faced me toward Alaric, so I was sandwiched between them.

Alaric’s hazel eyes were now red and ravenous. Everywhere they drifted heated. The hunger for not just me but my blood was written in the darkening lines of his features. The utter savagery had me squeezing Dex tighter.

Dex knelt behind me to spread my cheeks. His tongue grew longer as he licked my puckered hole. When the muscle slipped inside me, I almost came on the spot.

“Fucking shit. That’s new,” I moaned out, practically panting like a cat in heat.

He slipped his tongue out to speak. “I was made for your pleasure, Succy. Of course, my upgrades would be tied to you.” His tongue eagerly laughed at me again.

He added his fingers, stretching me. When my body became pliant, he made eye contact with Alaric, silently communicating with him. “I’m going to need you to enjoy the pain, Succy, because my demon won’t let me take this slow. Are you ready?”

I nodded. Faster than I could process in my lust addled brain, Dex plunged into my soaked ass. Alaric knelt to savagely suck on my clit again. Dex snarled like he’d kill anyone who would remove me off him. Thankfully, the pain only stung for a second before the pleasure overtook everything.

When Dex growled a few seconds later, Alaric got up and lined his hard cock at my opening. All three of us groaned as he slid inside of me. “Fuck, I missed your tight, sweet pussy.” Alaric had a rasp to his voice that gave me chills. It was dangerous as if promising me a slow death. No one moved for a few seconds. It was torture.

“Someone better start fucking me, right now! Or I’m tearing them off and doing it myself,” I grumbled out. My body zinged with pleasure, but I needed more.

"So, demanding,” Alaric said through his sharp fangs. I squeezed my walls around him just to intensify my demand. The growl that followed was even sexier than that I’m going to spank your ass raw look he gave me.

My antics worked because Alaric exploded into movement. With a roar that sounded a lot like mine earlier, his hips thrusted into me like a crazed rabbit, forcing me to lean against Dex more. Dex’s firm grip tightened on my hips, lifting them up so he could follow Alaric’s lead. Their cocks hammering into me had my face lifting to the sky, my eyes glitching as if I was a fucking robot, and my nails digging into Alaric’s shoulder. My claws sliced into Dex’s hip just to be fair. They were both wearing my mark and glitter tonight.

The thought made me moan. “Fuck. Fuck. Don’t stop,” I shouted when my orgasm slowly rose in me.

“Never,” Alaric said, gripping my hips tighter.

“Where the fuck is better than this pussy? I’d live in there if you let me.” Dex practically sang his words.

As he pulled on my lust, I did the same to them. My demon shook with glee, or maybe that was just my knees. Either way, tasting my mates’ lust after all this time was better than any food in any world. My pleasure rose like a tsunami. My orgasm was about to take out the whole academy in a wave.

“Mine!” Alaric grunted.

“Mine!” Dex mimicked. Over and over, they said this with each fast thrust. All I could do was take the pleasure that was freely given.

Dex gripped onto my hair and shoved my head to the side, baring my neck for Alaric. I closed my eyes for a second and his vampire had fully taken over. His fangs were out and almost looked like glass they were so shiny.

I could stop them if I didn’t want him to bite me, but we all knew I did. “Now,” Dex commanded.

Alaric’s teeth snapped into my flesh. I screamed as a massive orgasm hit me. The men filled me at the same time. My pussy milked every drop out of them, greedy for more. Alaric finished drinking my blood, and we all slumped into each other, panting. The venom from his fangs had me floating in the nonexistent clouds in the sky.

“Perfection.” I didn’t know who said it, but I snuggled deeper into them. This moment really was perfect.

“Holy shit! That was fucking sexy,” Trigger said, making me shoot upright. Magic danced at my fingertips, but my heart palpitations threatened to end me right here.

What the fuck? Trigger? I glanced at Alaric and Dex. Did I just get played?
