What Did You Do? (Infatuated Fae, #2)

by Jeneane O'Riley

“Well, good girl, come get on your knees. Your good guy is about to watch the bad guy slide his cock down your throat.”

PAUSE

My eyes snapped to Eli’s. His handsome face was full of intensity and frustration. The chivalrous gaze almost concealed the lust in his eyes when they took in my nearly naked body kneeling before Mendax.

Watch how they hunger for you. We are infatuated with you.

“You are everything to me, Caly,” Mendax said through a shortened breath, his hand pulling at my hair. “I’m going to be rougher with you, pet. Will you be a good girl and take it?”

“She is not yours, Aurelius. She will never be yours. For eternity, she is only mine.”

*screams into the void*

“You will never be able to deter me from loving her. Without killing the both of us, you will never ever be able to tear us apart from one another. Our tie is as unbreakable as my love for her.”

“Look at how he watches with hungry eyes, pet. I want you to crawl over there and give Aurelius a taste of what’s mine,” he said with a demented smirk.

WOAH

I could feel the tingle and pulse of every hair on my head as he bent to tower over me, where I kneeled on Eli. Mendax’s sky-blue eyes and evil mouth were only a few inches above mine. He lowered his bottom lip, and cold mead poured from his mouth into mine.

I pulled my two fingers from inside myself and lifted them to Eli’s handsome mouth, pressing them inside. His eyes flickered closed and his hips bucked ever so slightly. He grabbed my wrist, keeping it in place while the other went around the small of my back and pulled me against him. He swirled his hot tongue around my fingers with a soft groan. Eli’s face was now only a breath away from my own.

“Do it. Carve the flesh that makes you feel everything you wish it didn’t,” he whispered.

AIDJFEEMSKSMSZM

“I’ll eagerly die loving you, Calypso,”

THIS MAN

“I will return for you,” he whispered. “From the deepest corner of Tartarus, I would return for you.”

“I’ll ki—” But it was all Aurelius got out the second his mouth was free before Mendax cut him off by roughly grasping Eli’s jaw, wrenching it open, and smearing his cum-soaked hand aggressively onto Eli’s face, shoving him backward with the force. “Have a taste of that too, sunshine. Taste me all over her now? That’s the only way it’ll ever be from now on, so fuck off.”

“You’ve probably heard us referred to as the Fallen fae.”

Oop

As I cried, the creature seemed to grow taller in my blurry peripheral. “We really need to stop meeting like this.” A warm and soothing voice blanketed my skin.

WALTER!!!

“I’m afraid it’s true.”

Nooo

“If by sweet, you mean extremely tough and manly in a roguish sort of warrior way, then I agree.”

Yay!

My argument was cut short when Eli’s lips crashed down on mine.

Oop!!!!!

“He could have faked a wing or a body part, but he would never have let someone take the only piece of you he had left. I know him too well. I’m afraid he is gone, Caly.”

No:(

“Marry me. Not because my mother ordered it and not because I’m begging or because it will make you a queen. Marry me because you love me as much as I love you.”

“But let it be known to all that I loved Mendax with every beat of my mangled heart. He may have been the villain to most of you in this room, but he loved me in ways I couldn’t comprehend—in ways I didn’t know a person was capable of loving—even if it was shown in a way most wouldn’t recognize. No doubt should ever enter the mind of anyone here how much I reciprocated that love. Even if I was unable to show it.”

“I will never be sorry I’m the man that gets to treasure you. You were always going to be the last battle between Mendax and I, and I would have done everything in my power to kill him. I suppose at least this way, you will not hate me for being the one who took him from you. I will spend every day with you, my best friend as well as my soul mate.”

“Unlike Mendax, I do not need you to take the throne in order for me to become king. I need you as my wife…it just so happens that makes you a queen.”

Hold the fuck up

“I’m sorry for everything I did wrong, Calypso.” Tears streaked his lightly stubbled jaw. “I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you more in the human realm. I’ll never forgive myself for it. In every part of my soul, I am filled with remorse that I played a part in your sadness. I despise myself for being so selfish in wanting you with me, that I allowed her to send you to Unseelie in the first place.”

“In every way, you have proven yourself to be my hero and friend,” I said, looking between Eli and Walter. “I have already lost someone and their love by not embracing my own feelings. I may never get over the love I had for Mendax, but I will never make the mistake of not allowing myself to feel again. I love you, Eli.”

He caught up to me in half a second, but he only tried to stop me with the look in his eyes—and something hidden within them told me he secretly wanted me to see whatever it was I was about to. “I’m sorry” was all he said.

What’s happening??

“Mendax is rolling over in his grave with a stiff dick somewhere right now,”

I took a deep inhale, smelling a hint of smoke. I whipped around, the corners of my mouth already quirked, expecting to see Mendax standing behind me. The dark-gray wall of rock was the only thing that caught my smile. But I could have sworn I smelled him just then.

:((

“Take this, then,” Walter said with a grunt, ripping Mendax’s tooth necklace from his neck with a smile and handing it to Eli. “Mendax would want to have been a part of your death.”

Nice

“Make a handsome fae flop on the dirt?” I said with a grimace. “You hear that?” Eli groaned and swore. “Handsome.”

“I want to marry you, Eli,” I whispered. “As soon as we get into the castle, I want to make it official.” I loved him, and our lives were literally tied together already,

Brother. You just watched your mans die basically

but mostly I wanted to do this because it was the only way I could ever see my sister again.

Lowkey forgot about the sister

“Married or not, my darkness and I will still come inside her,” added a deep, gravelly voice I would recognize anywhere.

JAW HAS DROPPED

Malum Mendax.

HELL YEAH BROTHER

There in front of me stood the man of my dreams and nightmares. How many times could one person play dead?

“I’ve told you from the beginning, there was nothing that would stop me from returning to you,” Mendax answered.

“I’m already getting it,” Eli bit out. He released his hold on me to move toward Mendax. “Seeing as our souls are tied and it’s my castle.” Eli’s boots hit the toes of Mendax. “I’ll be getting my wife’s heart.”

Uh ohhhh

“Is this true, my love? Did you promise to marry another while I was gone?” Mendax asked with a hint of amusement in his voice.

Giggling and kicking my feet i love this man

“If you think a wedding will deter me, then you don’t give my feelings for her or my lack of morals enough credit, Aurelius,” he said with a handsome grin.

Period

“Mine,” Mendax said with a scowl and small smile as he moved a few paces ahead of the others and palmed my ass. “Stop that right now,” Eli growled, moving next to us.

Purr

“One of us must die anyway…for the other two to live. My death would only make things easier for you,” he choked out.

Shit i forgot about that part

Walter gave me a solemn nod of encouragement. He was the only one that knew the truth. I looked into Eli’s kind eyes. It would probably be the last time they ever looked at me like that. “I’m so sorry,” I whispered to him. His brows wrinkled. “Don’t be sorry. You’ve got this,” he encouraged.

“Nothing’s going to happen.” I smiled wider. “I’m human.” Everyone gasped.

As did i

I grabbed the sides of Saracen’s face and snapped it to the right, feeling for the pop. Her C3 and C4 vertebrae cracked loudly.

GET IT GURL

Kaohs, please let him into Tartarus and give him plenty of women and trouble, I thought with a smile.

I thought the goddess was devious and enrapturing before, but now? Now I was infatuated beyond anything the realms have ever seen. How was it possible to be so completely bewitched by a human? I called her pet, but it was I who followed behind at her heels. I was the one with the leash tied to her short, immortal life.

“Take mine like good girl, Cal,” Mendax rasped with smoldering eyes as he tried to push his Unseelie breastplate into my arms.

Yaur

Every nerve in my body was overwhelmed with the sensation of both fae sandwiching my body between theirs.

PERIOD!!!!

At the same moment, Mendax moved his free hand up and over the side of my neck, leaning down to whisper in my ear. “Go on, Cal. Take it.” His deep voice poured through my brain like hot soup. “Do it for me.” Eli’s thumb grazed my bottom lip. “Let me know that you still love me.” My body shivered and thrummed, filled with a new energy.
