The Female (The Female, #1)

by Invi Wright

“If Aziel is a virgin, why would he need a female?”

“He can’t have sex with you, but that doesn’t mean you can’t theoretically pleasure him in other ways.”

“See how turned on they are at the sight of you?”

This was Gray’s doing. He forced his way into my dreams just as he promised.

Instead, I woke up mid-orgasm with humiliation filling every pore of my body.

“She had way more lust to offer than I thought she would. Our female has been unsatisfied for a long time now.”

“but our female wants all of us, and it might be fun to pull you into her dreams.”

“I’ll be passing on that invitation,”

I don’t want them to want me anyway.

“Why do you think she’s sitting here crying? Not everybody enjoys having the details of their first sexual experience thrown around the dinner table. Especially when it apparently involved the other people present.”

I don’t like being alone with Gray.

“Do you want me to kiss you?” he asks. I nod. I want it so badly.

I’m failing my female and she hasn’t even been here an entire day.

I’ve never had to care for a female, and I hope this one will be patient while I learn.

It’s shocking how much lust she was able to share with me through just her dreams.

She’s the perfect female, and I know Aziel and Silas will grow to appreciate her as well. It’s obvious they’re both attracted to her, and despite their best attempts at hiding it, I could smell their arousal when I told them about Charlie’s dream.

Aziel’s too old to be continuing to hold out on taking a bonded mate, and Silas is growing angsty with each passing year. We’re all desperate for some genuine intimacy. That’s exactly what Charlie can provide.

I’m ready to settle down and I’m hoping they come to feel the same way once they’ve grown comfortable with having Charlie around.

“Who you were is unknown to me, but from the images around the house and the love your daughter holds for you, I assume you were a good man. I don’t know what happened to your wife, but I promise I’ll take good care of your daughter. She’ll see a life that is full and lacks nothing.”

“Two other demons and I have purchased Charlie. We have no interest in harming her, and she won’t be forced to bear us any children,”

“I will lie and tell her your death was quick,”

He’s got a soft spot for my human.

“No, no, don’t say that. You’re beautiful,” he assures her. “I just can’t touch you.”

“My female misses her family and home. I was bringing her belongings here,” I explain, happy to prove I’m a good caretaker.

“You’ve created her for me, yeah?” he asks. “This isn’t her soul in my dream?”

“I’d never trick you into bonding yourself to anybody, Aziel,” I snap. “Of course she’s not real.”

The only women he’s ever had experience with are the ones I create for him, and luckily for him, he can’t bring them any harm.

I know she’s not real, but I can’t help but love the sight of her and Aziel together. I want us all to be together, and that starts with Aziel and Silas accepting her as their female.

I want more than just a female I feed from. I want her to be our bonded mate.

“Gray’s odd for an incubus,” he says. “He wants a relationship, somebody he can give his affections to. He has no interest in hurting you, but he will need to feed. That doesn’t always have to be penetrative sex, but that’s a conversation you’re better off having with him.”

“Gray will see to it that you’re kept happy here.”

“Incubi are desperate to please, and Gray is no exception. Find a way to make that work in your favor.”

“You’re to feed the fucking incubus. You’re to keep him out of my dreams.”

“I like your attitude, and there’s no need to be ashamed for being happy to be around me,” he assures me. “I’m sexy and kind. There’s no better combination.”

“I’m going to ease my finger in and take a few selfish seconds to enjoy the feel of you. Then I’m going to take it out and taste,”

“Fuck,” he gasps. His hands return to my legs. “I’m so hungry for you.”

“You’re mine.” Gray groans, throwing his head back as he continues guiding my rocking.

“I’m not upset about anything. I liked what you did,” I say instead. “Even the butt thing?”

“It was unexpected, and I don’t think I’d like it to happen again without warning, but I’m not mad,” I admit. “It felt good.”

“Because people don’t fuck with Aziel. What do you want me to say, Charlie? I’m a weaker demon and don’t command the same respect as him. Do I need to spell it out for you? Aziel is strong. People don’t touch what’s his. I am not. I can barely teleport you places, and my family won’t think twice about stealing you away if they know you’re mine.”

“And if you let me, I’d love to do your hair. I’ll deny this if you ever bring it up in public, but I went through a cosmetology phase about seventy years ago and am pretty good at an updo.” I choke back a laugh,

Gray finally looks at me as he wraps his arms around the woman, his expression conveying an emotion I don’t understand. A second later, he’s standing, his abrupt action causing the woman on his lap to flail and grab his bicep for balance.

“He may not have a good way of showing it, but Aziel is trying to keep you safe,” Silas says

“I don’t want her.” I try not to wince as his words cut through me, but I’m sure my pained expression gives away the emotions I wish to remain hidden.

The intoxicating scent of the nearby incubi reaches my nose with my next inhale. It’s stronger than Gray’s, and I feel my muscles stiffen before melting, my body paralyzed by their lust.

The pain in her eyes tells me they did not. The sight of Charlie’s tears will haunt me for a long time, and the betrayal that shone in her eyes cuts me to the core.

When all has calmed with Aziel, I’ll assure her she’s the only female for me.

Charlie’s body is a thousand times more susceptible than most, and I can’t imagine how much this must be affecting her.

Silas shoves his thigh between hers in a sad attempt to keep her sated.

“Aziel will be furious you’re forcing his female into a frenzy,” Silas says.
