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

Chapter 26

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

T he new drama with Lucifer had everyone on edge, so we planned a night of relaxation. After, we broke into the cafeteria and burned every fruit cup, though.

Dex insisted, and I agreed.

I had told my faction to leave them alone and to let Stanine know if they felt a psychological numbness. So far, ten people said they had. This things needed to be destroyed.

That was why we took time to make a bonfire, and enjoyed watching the flames rise. This was a small victory. A way to fight back.

Each one of us threw a cup in. Dex, though, he kind of went fanatical with it. He attacked the boxes with a roar and slammed them into the fire. I protected his body from any of the liquid with an air shield. I wasn’t great at it, but it was better than nothing.

Dex loved giving me those snacks. He got up early every day to make sure, I got one. He felt betrayed by them. I was going to miss them too. It was our thing, and Lucifer defiled it with a curse.

After we went home, I bathed him and sucked his cock better than any vacuum to show him that I wasn’t mad. The only grudge I held was to Lucifer.

It was the perfect start to a blissful night.

Now, we all sat on the couch watching scary movies. I curled up in my new horror-movie blanket and snuggled with Dex and Kain. It had all the human scary-movie villains on it. Several of our faction members were out patrolling and hunting, so we could unwind. We all needed a break before we ended up crashing or something.

Dex, you give me such wonderful gifts, I whispered to him through the bond as I snuggled into the blanket again. I was pretty sure only he heard me.

His connection to the Headmaster and his workers is cheating. I can give you gifts too. Trigger complained, telling me I didn’t know how to control the bond as well as I thought. Perfect.

Oh hush. He gets us these extra luxuries most people don’t get in Hell. Like twenty different horror movies. I’ve never celebrated Halloween, so get over it, Bones grumbled to his brother.

Aw, how come? I asked. Trigger pouted, but I could tell he wasn’t upset. He just wanted to get me gifts. Oh, and I don’t need things. I appreciate what you all bring to this relationship. So, stop pouting.

Bones snickered before responding. It’s Hell, every day is kind of Halloween, but after you and Lilah talked about it, I want to experience you at Halloween.

Me?

Yep. Every eye turned to me. We saw how happy you got, so we want to be a part of it, Dex explained. They turned back to the movie playing. Good thing too because I was blushing up a storm.

Michael Myers just walked into the room of his next victim when Smokey’s large shadow form appeared out of the darkness under the TV to bark, making me jump in Dex’s arms. He chuckled and kissed my cheek. Kain stood from his place under my legs. Smokey kept barking, which, to be honest, sounded more like a chainsaw trying to say woof, and danced around Kain’s feet.

“Lilah is here,” Kain said as he walked to the door. Smokey’s head landed on my lap with a pitiful whine, so my fingers attacked his ears to cheer him up. I hadn’t gotten to spend much time with my favorite beast. I knew he was a part of Kain, but he was still an animal.

Kain swung the door open. Lilah, Brandon, and Demarcus walked in.

I got up from my cozy, love cuddles to give Lilah a hug. “Hey, beautiful. How are you?”

With her head on my chest, because she was a petite thing, she mumbled, “I miss you sleeping in my bed.”

I chuckled, giving Demarcus a wink. He growled but rolled his eyes. We both knew I wasn’t interested, but the fact I could take her if I wanted to with just a hint of my magic irritated him. As one of the top twenty, his demon was prideful. But there were nineteen demons stronger than him in the academy alone.

“Come on, we’re watching scary movies.” I grabbed her hand and led her to the couch.

Lilah gave me a little groan because she wasn’t a huge fan, but she plopped on the couch with me. Demarcus sat next to her, and Brandon sat at her feet. He was shorter than Demarcus, so I understood why he took the floor. It wasn’t a slave thing.

Her men were almost opposites. Demarcus had the ability to change the color of his skin. He’d chosen a russet-brown today with thick, dark curly hair. His eyes were always purple, though. Whereas Brandon had a fawn, pale complexion with freckles and straight, red-tinged, chocolate hair.

Next to Lilah’s tawny beige skin and bright-pink hair, they appeared to be as different as they could possibly be. Yet, it made them fit well together for some reason. I smiled.

I glanced over at Bones and Trigger who were sizing each other up, knowing the spot right in front of me could only fit one of them. The other would have to sit in front of Dex. Trigger glanced my way, so I winked at him. That did it. He launched himself toward me, but Bones was ready. He grabbed his brother with his beefy arms. Then, the tussle began. Trigger laughed, but Bones had a serious face.

Before either of them could claim the spot, Kain slid into it, resting his head on my thigh. I reached down and ran my hands over his firm chest instantly.

Dex burst into laughter. He wrapped an arm around me to silently say he wasn’t moving. His grip tightened when they stood, but they didn’t even look at him.

Alaric just snickered at it all.

My gaze shot to him. I almost whimpered at the distance between us. He sat in the chair slightly away from the couch. When he noticed me scowling at the empty air that separated us, he winked at me. That settle my demon. I didn’t like it, but I knew having all my men constantly within reach was unrealistic.

“That’s messed up,” Bones said as he stood to grab another chair for himself since the other half of the couch where Kain sat before was full. When he pulled out the blow-up bed from the hallway closet, I couldn’t help my laugh. Bones flipped both his brothers off and pressed the button to blow the Queen size bed up. It had magic built in thanks to Alaric’s father, so he was hugging the pillow that was left on it within seconds.

“Fucker.” Not to be out done—ever—Trigger scowled at Kain and snuggled against Dex. “Pet me, sex boy.” Dex snorted, so Trigger turned his scowl at him. “These assholes can’t win. I need to level the score. I can’t copy fucking Fae boy over there and Kain has Ivy, so get to petting me.”

Dex didn’t budge.

Trigger rolled his eyes. “Uh, please?”

That did it. With a groan, Dex ran his hands through Trigger’s long brown tresses. I reached over and scratched his scalp to help out. That got me a huff from Bones, but Kain just kissed my leg.

“Now, the movie and whatever weird fight you guys just went through is over, let’s put on a better scary movie,” Lilah said as she absently braided Brandon’s hair. Her mind was on other things, but he didn’t mind.

“Which one? Michael Myers is the best. He was definitely a demon.” Dex sat forward to glance her way, ignoring Trigger’s hair, even as he shook it to get his attention.

“Umm, don’t get me wrong the big MM is awesome, but I’m talking about someone that could be anyone. A human could put on the mask and be just as scary.” She had starry eyes, and I completely agreed.

I knew exactly what movie. I loved a good thriller.

“Okay, I’ll bite.” Dex grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around my shoulders.

“Scream, duh.”

I snorted because she had only seen the first two about a month before we were dragged to the academy. Her mother would have killed her if she watched anything but her brain-washing crap. Brandon crawled over to the DVD player as soon as she said the name. Hell didn’t have cable and game systems didn’t work well here, but at least movies did.

Dex rolled his eyes, but it was Alaric who answered. “I don’t know if it’s better than MM, but it’s a good franchise. Besides, Ivy likes them.”

I pinched his leg. “How do you know? We haven’t watched the new scary movies haul you brought us.” Even though he didn’t work for the Headmaster anymore, he still had access to things. He got stuff the shopping center didn’t. Like coffee! I’d had three cups today.

“The way your eyes lit up at the bundle. Every Scream movie at your fingertips and you creamed your panties.”

The men chuckled while Lilah put her fingers in her ears and started la-la-laing until the movie started. Brandon scurried back to his spot, putting her short legs on his shoulders so he could hug them.

“I’ve never seen any of them, so I’m game,” Trigger whispered.

My eyes widened. I forget that most of my men had been trapped in Hell their whole lives. When we got out of here, we were traveling. They could go to an actual movie theater. Zar and my Light Soul friend, Marnie, loved movies, so I went a few times a month. The theater they had at the slave lounge wasn’t the same. I wished they could be here tonight as well.

As the beginning girl died, and the men argued about what they would do different or how stupid she was for not throwing the phone at her parents, I made a promise to Goddess Nyx that my mates and I were going to have more time for life. We couldn’t get caught up in protecting or fighting because that was never going to change. Even if we defeated Lucifer, there would always be powerful demons to deal with. We needed to enjoy the small things.

By the time we watched the first three Scream movies and had dinner and 20 million-bathroom breaks—those three coffees were a bad idea—I was ready to grab a book and lie in bed. Even if I wasn’t tired thanks to the liquid gold.

The guys let me go to bed while they cleaned up. They understood me in an almost frightening way. I could never relax with the dishes in the sink and mess everywhere. It didn’t have to be perfect, but the place needed to be what I liked to call ‘comfortable clean.’ Basically, if I couldn’t see it, the mess wouldn’t bother me. Trigger had a habit of shoving stuff in the hallway closet, but I never went in there, so I didn’t care.

I grabbed a random book on the shelf in… my old room? I still had no idea if this was still my room or the library. The bed hadn’t moved, which meant it was my destination.

The book cover was green with a dark-haired woman looking down, so the reader couldn’t see her face. Blood dripping from her lips and the Pixies whispering in her ear had me intrigued. “The Blood Widow. I wonder if you’re one of his true stories written by a seer?” I spoke out loud.

The room was at least triple the size of the living room. I opened the book to read before I made it to the bed. I was hooked instantly. Nothing else registered to me.

The walls literally moved sometimes because a soul was checking in, but I couldn’t be bothered. Even when the bed dipped.

The voices were slightly annoying, but I ignored them easily.

The large hands ripping open my panties and the face diving into my pussy weren’t something I could ignore, though. A gasping, moaning sound escaped me as their tongue circled my clit. Thrusting upward, I put the book down. My eyes focused on the room.

All my men were around me like hungry vultures, naked. Trigger was the closest to the book. He growled at the bundle of paper like it was an enemy. He grabbed it and tossed it across the room.

“Hey!” I shouted even as Kain clicked his tongue on my clit and slid a finger inside me. The moan made my protest sound pathetic. I couldn’t even get mad. My brain could only access my pleasure right now.

Alaric blurred after the book before the landing could damage the binding. I vaguely registered him being successful, but Kain was moving even quicker now. It was all happening so fast.

“Don’t throw my shit. Most of these books are people’s lives. Have some respect,” Alaric growled out.

Trigger growled right back. “She liked the book more than us. I’ll burn the little shit.”

My eyes were closed, so I had no idea what they were doing, but the fact they were naked made everything sexy.

Griping. Jealousy. Anger. All done with their beautiful cocks swinging around. Their muscles moved as they fought.

“Calm the fuck down. She doesn’t like it more than us, she was just distracted. She put it down, didn’t she?” Bones shoved Trigger to get past him. He scooted behind me and put my legs over his, so I’d be spread even wider.

Kain made a pleased noise and added another finger. I couldn’t keep up with the conversation as I humped my mate’s face. As long as they talked Trigger down from burning all the books, I was too gone to care. My orgasm rose fast and hard.

I felt fucking drunk on lust. Dex must be feeding me because I was lost on a sea of passion. He and Alaric were massaging me, pulling on my nipples. Even the noise from my wetness made me rise higher.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck.” A shadow tentacle slid inside of me. One of the suction cups latched onto my g-spot, making me scream in pleasure. I wasn’t going to last a minute.

Mouths sucked on my nipples, and I saw stars. My whole body tightened. The balls of light exploded as my orgasm hit me like a wrecking ball to the gut. My chest rose and my head flung back, hitting Bones’ shoulder.

Kain didn’t stop, so Bones had to wrap his arms around me when my twitches became jerking movements. Did we have a safe word? Because I needed a break from his assault.

“What was your book about, my Poison?” Kain asked as I panted on Bones’ chest.

I just shrugged. Who the hell knew. My mind didn’t work anymore.

Kain gripped my chin. “Since you were a bad girl and ignored your mates, I’m taking control tonight.” He licked up my exposed neck to my lips. The taste of both of us brought a moan out of me. This was Sex Demon language, and he was fluent at it. My demon purred like a drunken hussy.

“Because tonight is mine. Just like you’ll be. I’m claiming this pussy.” The tentacle smacked my sloppy wetness. I didn’t even know what noise I just made. Maybe a mixture of surprise, protest, and pleasure? It must have been the right one because Kain’s eyes turned pitch black as his demon came out to play. “You ready to be mine?”

Was I fucking ever.

He pressed his body against me. Anticipation rolled up my spine in response. His whiskey scent matched his taste when he kissed me, devouring my lips. My hands roamed his body. Under my touch he changed. The shadows danced on his flesh like dark flames. His body was still solid to the touch, but he appeared more like a shadow.

“This is also your punishment for feeding on others. It will only be from us. Got it?”

He gripped onto my hair with one hand and the other smacked my bare pussy. A zing of pain and pleasure hit me.

I glanced down and watched with wide eyes as Kain’s dick grew impossibly thick and took on a shadow-like form. I gulped, worried it wouldn’t fit.

He slammed the massive appendage inside of me, then smacked my cheek gently. My demon poured slick out of me to follow his aggressive lead to pleasure town.

“Who do you belong to?” Kain growled out.

His thrusting increased. His shadows wrapped around my clit and tugged as he thrusted.

“You,” I moaned the word

Trigger leaned over me and slapped my clit.

“Shit,” I cried out, jerking forward.

The sting was good, but fuck, it was a lot.

“Who?” Trigger growled.

“All of you.” My words changed, but the lurid moans were the same. My eyes crossed.

“Good little cum slut.”

I groaned as my pussy clenched around Kain.

“Oooh, you like me calling you that don’t you?”

More thrusts almost had me almost blacking out. The thickness no longer hurt but it was mind blowing. I felt my orgasm climbing higher.

“I think she needs more cum on her to make her a true slut. What do you say, guys?”

I loved me some praise, but this slight degradation was a thrill in the bedroom. I didn’t miss the spark in Kain’s eyes either. This would be a way for him to get some of his power back. The thrill of taking orders in the heat of lust both me and my demon could handle, so maybe I didn’t need to always dominate Kain to get his demon to understand.

Another hard thrust had my mind turning off again, as my nails dug into Kain’s back.

“Guys, let’s mark our mate to make sure she never forgets who she belongs to.”

My heart thrashed in my chest as they maneuvered around me. Dex and Alaric went to each of my shoulders where their mark was at. Trigger was on my left and his breath on my hip gave me goose bumps. Bones went to my right wrist, and Kain lifted my leg in the air, bending down so his lips could graze the flesh on my inner thigh slightly below the knee. Meanwhile his powerful thrusts never stopped. I was so close. I’d burst any second.

Sweat covered my body. My muscles were shaking from the strain of the buildup and the sex.

“Now!” Kain ordered.

All at once my mates bit down, piercing my flesh where they wanted their mark to be.

My orgasm hit me like a brick to the back of my head. The rest of my body lifted as I screamed, fire licked through my insides. Each of the marks glowed with the flames. My insides were molten hot like a dragon’s.

My demon pulled and fed on their lust, bringing them over the edge with me. Spurts of come hitting their marks calmed the heat. Fucking shit. Finishing a full Goddess-given mate bond was no joke. I might roll over and die from exhaustion.

“So beautiful, Succy.” Dex nuzzled my shoulder, the scent of blood heavy on his breath. “Look at how beautiful our marks are on you.”

I lifted my left arm. My mate marks were where a slave-claiming mark would be. The black roses were shaded in the color of each of their jeweled daggers. Kain’s was the darkest in black. Alaric’s had a green that made the rose even more realistic. Dex’s was gold. It made his rose look like it glittered with riches. Bones’ blue was towards the bottom as if sucking up water for nutrients. Trigger’s was at the top. His red made the rose look like it was burning. All together they were mesmerizing. Even my pink magic intertwined with the stems and swirled around the petals.

One by one, each of them kissed their rose, and I swear, I really was going to die of a heart attack.

When I first arrived at the academy, I could barely handle a hug from anyone. Emotions weren’t a part of my world. Now, look at me. My body marked by five mates, my demon satiated, and my heart and mind overcome with emotions. Who the heck was I?
