“Yes,” I cried out as I came again, my juices dripping down my shaking legs.
Triston began to thrust into my hand, moaning into my mouth, and Percival’s breathing increased. Triston grunted as he came, dropping his head to rest against my collarbone. Percival pulled out of me and groaned as he spilled his seed on the bed behind me.
The three of us sat there, panting for a few seconds before Percival picked me up in his arms and carried me to the shower.
Triston joined us and the two men worked together to wash my hair and body. It was one of the sweetest things someone had ever done for me.
Once dressed and with the bed sheet in the washer, we sat together on the couch, me between them, to watch the news.
Triston draped an arm behind my shoulders and his finger stroked my arm as he held me close to his side. Percival stroked his fingers along the top of my thigh and I realized they were both doing it absentmindedly, which made me smile.
“Breaking news!” the news anchor said, drawing my attention back to the television. “A group of unknowncreatures has converged at City Park and are attacking Riddick Charleston, assistant to Prince Caleb. No one knows where they came from or what they are, but we have footage of them. Currently, Mr. Charleston is keeping them at bay, but reinforcements have been called.”
The anchorman was replaced by a park filled with dozens of cursed creatures all oozing black smoke. At the center of it all stood Riddick in warrior form, half-man half-cheetah, blood dripping down one arm as he fought against them all.
“Riddick!” I gasped and stood.
Chapter
Fourteen
Getting to the park took far too long due to the traffic and gawkers. Finally, Percival shifted into his dragon form and picked Triston and I up, flying us over the heads of shifters fighting against the creatures, over the creatures’ heads that were surrounding Riddick, and dropped us down to join Riddick at his back.
“What are you doing here?” he growled and punched a puma creature that jumped towards us.
“We came to back you up,” I said and used my powers to draw rocks from the ground, aiming for the creatures’ heads to knock them out without killing them.
“You shouldn’t have brought her,” Riddick growled at Triston, who shifted into a warrior form as well.
Triston scoffed. “You try telling her no.”
“Clearly these ones aren’t after her blood, but are after you,” Percival said, backhanding a deer creature.
“Are they saying anything?” Riddick asked.
I frowned and tried to listen, but there were too many voices, they were too loud to make out a single one. “They’re all yelling so loud I can’t decipher what they are saying.”
“So, it’s not one word like, ‘blood,’ which is different than it has been,” Triston said and grunted as a bear head butted him. He shoved it back with a snarl and looked at Riddick. “What’s the plan?”
Riddick scowled. “I don’t want to kill all of them, we don’t know if some are shifters or not since there are too many smells, and it’s not their fault they’re cursed, but we can’t just keep pushing them back.”
“What if my blood can cure these ones too?” I asked.
“You’d been drained dry curing so many of them,” Percival snapped and shook his head. “No, you cannot feed your blood to them.”
“We don’t have any better ideas,” I pointed out. Growing furious, I created rock walls around us, boxing us in and keeping the creatures out. “I can hold this for a few minutes so we can talk and figure out a plan of action without getting attacked.” The creatures pounded against the rocks, but thankfully were unable to break in, at least while I had the power to hold it.
“I don’t think we have much of an option,” Riddick said. “There are too many for us to hold off without our stamina running out and running a real risk of getting injured.”
“Why isn’t the mastermind behind all this showing up?” I asked. “What does he hope to gain from attacking you so publicly? It doesn’t make sense.”
“He’s probably waiting for Riddick to get injured before he steps in. He’s letting his minions wear Riddick down first,” Triston said.
“We could lure them up to Ember’s place; we’d be safe in the wards and it would get them away from the city,” Percival suggested.
“It’s quite a long way to lure them, but if we can get them there, it will give us more time to devise a plan to cure themall,” I said, liking the idea better than killing them all. Something large battered against the walls and I grunted as I kept them up.
“Decide on something, so Ember can release the rocks,” Triston said and growled.
