Something was wrong. I knew it in the depths of my soul, and yet I was utterly drunk on this feeling, unable to calm the thrashing of my heart. “Death pays for death,” Darius breathed against my mouth, his hand tight around my neck, his eyes alight with the same thrill I was lost in. “Shit,” I panted, my fingers knotted in his shirt, our hearts pounding as one between us.
“I think we just figured out the cost of my life,” Darius growled in agreement. “The Ferryman wants paying back in death.”
You think??
I sat upon a throne of jade, carved by the finest earth Elementals among my bonded Guardians, the back extending up into the great, towering form of a Dragon. Its wings were outstretched, jaws agape, and rows of sharp teeth gleaming in the firelight. It was far bigger than Hail’s throne, grander in every aspect, and this palace would be finer than his too when I was through here. Gold coins spilled out over the seat and mounted up around my feet, the power they fed me setting my heart thumping to a powerful tune.
Sounds ugly
“Forgive me, but it is important, Daddy,” she purred, that word always working to soften my temper just a little.
Gross
“Yes, but I am curious. Why do you really wish to make me one of your Bonded, my King?” “So that our love might deepen,” I growled, though it was a lie painted upon my lips.
Im sure she knows
“Mm.” She frowned. “Do you lust for your Wards more than I?” The dangerous edge to her tone said my answer had to be carefully constructed.
Lol kill them Lavinia
“The essence of all,” the star revealed, and the pressure in the air told of how forcibly the star was trying to resist answering at all. “The crux of being. Dominion. The star with a body of flesh shall come seeking me and one other. For three of us here on earth would form a Celestial Trinity. A union forbidden by the Origin herself, because it would be so terrible, it could splinter time and shatter the very forces of nature the universe is ruled by. It could pull all the stars from the sky. You must never let this come to pass.”
“Yes. We shall offer the star what it hunts for in payment for its allegiance, and then we shall be ready to charge into battle once more. With a holy creature of the sky fighting on our side, we will destroy the Vega line once and for all, then the real work in my kingdom can begin.”
Like the star would bow to you
A cup of water from the river of the dead, found beyond the sharp right of a crossroads at the foot of a burial mound beneath the outstretched bough of the hangman’s tree.
“Darius!” Seth called as he spotted me. “We were just trying to figure out which one of us would survive the longest on the moon, and these assholes keep saying it would be Max, even though it would clearly be me.” “Max has water magic,” I pointed out. “You’d need water and air on the moon. So Max wins.” “I can make coconuts,” Seth growled. “Besides, when I was on the moon, I scouted the perfect crater for a moon base.” “Oh, have you been to the moon?” I asked as if surprised by this news, and Seth’s face dropped. “You know full well that I have been to the moon. But if you’d like me to remind

“Oh, you’d be surprised at the depravity I witnessed. Not to mention the bare-faced lies some people tell their closest friends. Honestly, I thought I knew the people I love best in this world, but there are some secrets hiding among us which would shock the entire kingdom if they came to light.”
DARIUS
But as we stumbled into her room and I glanced up at the roses which hung from the walls and took in the rumpled bed sheets, I broke our kiss abruptly.
Bahahahaa
“Because,” I said, pushing her back despite the desperate ache in my flesh to be merged with hers. “That night, another couple came in here and fucked in your bed.”
Im dead
“How do you know? Did you watch them?” she asked. “Was it hot?” “No, it wasn’t fucking hot, Roxy. It was two of my best friends going at it in my wife’s bed. It was the furthest thing from hot.”
It was hot
“Umm…that they want some privacy from the interference of assholes and probably didn’t think any ghosts would be perving on them while they hooked up?” she suggested. “I wasn’t perving on them,” I snapped. “And your mom and dad were here too.”
LMAO
Fire sparked from my palms and lashed itself around her wrists forming flaming chains which I bound to the walls before repeating the process with her ankles.
Kinky
“Asshole,” she said with no grit at all, and I smiled wickedly before pushing two flame-coated fingers straight inside her.
Sir...omg
I dropped down to my knees, a subject before his queen, and let the Dragon fire roll over my tongue again right as I lapped at her core.
This is crazy
I yanked on my control of the chains, moving them lower and taking hold of her body as I guided her down to lie on the mound of coins before me, her wings splayed beneath her like some fallen angel.
This might be the kinkest scene ever
She swore loudly as she came again, and I released a Dragon’s roar as I came too, the tight pulses of her pussy claiming every drop from me as I filled her with my cum and marked her as mine all over again.
Did yall redo your contraception spells?
“How long will this take?” Caleb asked as the seconds dragged into minutes, and a muffled thump echoed from somewhere inside the compound. “Not as long as getting fucked by a Werewolf,” she muttered. “What?” he asked, his head snapping around to look at her and I smirked. “Longer than getting fucked by a Vampire though I’d say,” I added thoughtfully. “You know, because of the speed thing.”
screaminggggg
“That’s not a thing,” Caleb grunted. “So you think the Werewolf would finish first?” Roxy asked curiously, her head still inside the box, a faint glow from her Faelight illuminating one side of her straight face. She was damn good at this. “He…what…I dunno. How would I know that?” Caleb asked, glancing at me again, and I shrugged.
They are evil
Orion manoeuvred me under one arm and Tory stepped closer with a scowl. “This is the part where I pretend to be your man-bag, isn’t it?” “Come on,” Orion goaded. “Get under my arm like a good little purse.”
Orion slowed to a halt, setting us down and Darius jumped off his back, clapping him on the shoulder. “Good boy. I’ll give you a sugar lump later.” “And I’ll shove it up your ass,” Orion said dryly.
“Let’s go back,” I said urgently, but as the words passed my lips, a tremor ran through the floor, rumbling right through my bones.
I blame darcys optimism
The big guy stepped closer, taking a pair of magic blocking cuffs from his hip. “Don’t make a single move, Princess.” “Queen, actually,” I corrected, not breaking eye contact.
Hell yeah darcy
“Who was it then?” the captain goaded. “Two other Phoenix twins? I didn’t realise the kingdom had such an infestation.” He lunged for my left wrist, but I was faster, a whip of air plucking the stun gun from his other hand and ramming it straight into his dick.
Ouch
“There’s a huge gold nugget back there. He’s trying to carry it,” Tory said in amusement.
Now isnt the time
The sound of Darius grunting and huffing came from beyond the door and he stepped through it, trying to pull a gigantic golden nugget after him, but there was no way it was going to squeeze through the doorway. Tory took his hand, forcing him to look at her. “That isn’t going to fit through, Darius. You need to leave it.” “She’s right, man,” Orion said. “You’ve gotta let it go.” Darius looked between them in anger like he was trying to find a way to refute their logic. “But it’s mine.” “It can be yours. But it has to stay here.” Tory tiptoed up to kiss him and he gripped her waist, distracted

My mate turned to me, offering me his hand like he was some gentleman from a period drama, not a heathen who’d just thrown a man ten feet. I took it, letting him guide me over the gap onto the platform even though we both knew I didn’t need the help. His intense gaze followed me, the silver rings in his irises burning bright and bringing a smile to my lips.
We love a gentleman
Bertie frowned, thumbing a wedding band on his hand. “Bob wouldn’t believe this.” “Who’s Bob?” I asked, feeling a bit bad for the guy who we were leading into a place that clearly terrified him. “My husband. He died many, many years ago. We were only married a year before the accident.” He cleared his throat. “I never really got over that.”
BOB!!!!
“Come on, baby, let’s go flying,” Orion said, then he threw himself at Darius, locking his arms around him before the two of them plummeted off the edge. Orion let them fall like a damn stone, tumbling towards certain death at a wild speed. My fingers tingled, my own magic ready to save them if he failed, but Orion cast air at the last second, stopping them abruptly. Darius cursed him as he stepped out of his hold, but a grin twisted the corner of his mouth as if he’d secretly enjoyed it.
Lmao
“Bryan will know.” He took off out of the passage in the direction Bertie was waiting for us and I raced after him, carrying Orion after me on a gust of air.
Man learn names
“Spider,” he whispered, but it looked like it took a lot of effort to form the word. “Yup. Big ass spider,” I agreed, kissing him on the cheek in relief. “Darcy?” Xavier’s frantic voice burst into my ear. “We’re here,” I said. “By the stars, what happened?” he asked. “Spider,” Orion repeated in a rasp. “What was that?” Xavier asked. “Don’t worry.” I looked to Darius. “We have to go back for the stone.” “No need. It’s in my pocket. Aquamarine for Pisces.” He grinned, then looked down at Tory in his arms as she whispered, “Spider.”
“Hey, Vegas!” Leon Night shouted across the earpieces, and I winced from the loudness of his voice. “Give me that back,” Xavier hissed, and the sound of a struggle broke out, ending in a furious whinny and Leon speaking again. “I popped back to the academy to pick up Gabe’s favourite Tarot deck, and you went on a heist without me?” he said in anger. “I’m the greatest thief in Solaria. How dare you!” “I guess that makes you the second greatest thief in Solaria now,” I teased, and he gasped in offence. “You realise I’m going to have to do a heist now that tops your heist. You can’t go stealing

Leon pls
Orion groaned and sat up, his right arm dragging along the couch as he did so. “I feel like a zombie. Rahhh.” He pushed to his feet, his left foot scraping along the floor as he tried to get control of it, and he startled chuckling manically. “You good?” I asked, bracing him as he stepped forward and nearly crashed into the fridge. “Never better, bootiful – bewtiful – bluetiful,” he laughed, staggering sideways and crashing into Darius. “Awoooo.” Tory raised her hands in the air, cupping Darius’s cheeks. “Look, it’s a full moon.” “What’s the matter with them?” Darius demanded, holding Tory

Lmao they drunk
“That’s a whole lot of cows,” Orion murmured as he took in the rows of agents, stumbling into me and I caught his arm. “I’ve got a lot of milking to do. It’s gonna take me all night.”
I cannot
“That’s the High Commander of the FIB,” Darius said in disbelief. “She’ll take quite some milking,” Orion murmured.
Orion please
“I wish to bargain,” the twins said as one, their voices merging into something unearthly, something more true to the thing which wore their faces. “I want no part in death.”
Creepiest fucking thing ive ever heard
“I got your location from another of your kind. I was hoping we might strike a deal,” the King of Solaria purred.
Kill him
What was I becoming though? Some loser who drank away his problems? I wasn’t Orion.
Ok...rude
So many had fallen in this war. But I was one of the lucky ones, holding on to a life that all the fallen would trade me for with everything they had left to give. I might soon find that luck waning, and Caleb might too. Did I really want to walk beyond The Veil having never shared the most desperate secret of my heart?
Ofc not!
Caleb was the Fae who had given me the moon, so I planned on giving him the sky.
I led him away across campus, sailing over the gleaming rooftops, the lustrous golden hue of The Orb catching my eye. I took us all the way to a far corner of Earth Territory where a fluffy sea of clouds gathered above us, all of which had been wrangled with my air Element earlier on.
Omg so cute
“This is…shit, Seth. This is awesome,” Caleb breathed. “As far as you can see in each direction, all the way to the edges of the clouds is a solid platform of air,” I announced. Caleb’s eyebrows arched in surprise. “What’s it for?” “For you,” I said, my mouth hooking up. “You can run through the sky, Cal. As fast as you like.”
Ahhh
I released him with one hand so I could cast shapes in the clouds ahead of us, creating archways and hoops, tunnels and bridges for him to take on. An entire obstacle course was brought to life, and I built more and more of it around us, spiralling stairways, twisty slides that spat us out into a pool of more clouds, ramps for him to jump from and huge rolling balls of clouds he had to work to avoid.
Cutest date ever
“It was too damn easy to fall in love with you when I already loved everything about you, Cal,” I said, my voice rough with those words which had tortured me for so long.
Omgvvvvvccjxzf
“Go on then, say it,” I sighed, heat blazing up the back of my neck. “That we’re just fooling around, you never wanted things to get this serious. That maybe we should take some space, see other people – oh fuck, please don’t see other-” Caleb grabbed a fistful of my hair and yanked, making me yelp. “Shut up for a second.” I nodded mutely and he released my hair, stepping closer to me, so close I couldn’t see anything but him. Beautiful, perfect him. “Don’t put words in my mouth. Look, I don’t know what this thing is between us, but…”
SCream
His kisses turned to bites, and I growled at the sharp slice of his fangs, marking my skin with pinpricks. A little blood slipped from each one and he dragged his tongue over the hard planes of my chest, catching every drop.
Kinky!
The clothes between us were too much. I wanted his skin moulded to mine, and as I drew back and put a voice to that thought, Caleb reared up and sent a flash of fire over us, burning our clothes clean off. Fucking destroying them as if he gave no fucks about the designer items, turning them to ash which blew away on the wind.
Kink levels on fire
