Page 83 of Fighting My Demons

"No!" Xavier snarls when Latham grips his neck, tugging Xavier closer.

He kisses him, and Blaine growls from where he kneels beside me. Blaine pulls my leg up, bending my knee before shoving it into the mattress.

His tongue runs across my abdomen, moving lower as he leans over me. Latham whispers something to Xavier that makes his eyes flick down to me for a second, an angry expression on his face when Blaine's mouth suddenly covers my pussy, his nose pressing against my bottom as he sucks on my clit.

Xavier and Latham appear to be arguing in hushed whispers whilst all I can focus on is the swirling of Blaine's tongue as he devours me. My legs tremble, and pain ripples through my thigh as he pushes on my knee. My hips wiggle against his mouth, trying to stave off the pain when Xavier growls. Latham's aura is suffocating as it smashes over us, making me cry out. The temperature in the room rises drastically, so hot with his anger that I am struggling to breathe.

Xavier sighs, sitting back, and Latham's aura drops. Blaine lifts his head from between my legs, and Xavier grips Blaine's chin, kissing him. I watch as Xavier licks my juices from Blaine's lips before letting him go, and all their eyes go to me. I squirmed under the intensity of their gaze.

However, Xavier looks away and chews his lip before he speaks.

"Just know I don't want to do this, Arabella," Xavier murmurs and grits his teeth.

My brows furrow as I see his eyes glisten with tears. He swallows. My stomach drops somewhere cold within me, and my eyes flit to Latham and Blaine’s in worry. I tug on the handcuffs, but they don't budge, and my heart rate picks up when they continue to stare. Blaine and Latham's grip tightens on my thighs as they push their weight down on my legs, forcing them flat against the bed. I cry out at the pain increasing in my joints near the apex of my legs from the pressure on them.

"What?" I ask.

Xavier licks his lips before wiping a stray tear and looking at me.

"My mark lies right over Lethvian's?" he whispers, brushing his thumb over it.

Tingles flood through me; my body spasms at his touch, yet I can't move with their weight pressing down on my spread-out legs.

"I don't understand," I stutter, looking between them.

Only this time, Blaine also looks away when my eyes meet his. Fear coils and twists through me, and my blood runs cold when I meet Latham's stern penetrating gaze.

"He'll do it as quick as he can," Latham says, and Xavier growls.

I suck a shaky breath, tears burning my eyes, and my vision blurs. The feeling in the room tells me that whatever he is about to do, I won't like it.

"Do what?" I stutter, but none of them would answer me, and my fear amplifies ten-fold when Xavier leans over to press his lips against mine softly before wiping the tears that escape my eyes.

"I'm sorry," he whispers, and I gasp.

I start thrashing as his face moves toward his mark on my inner thigh, wondering what he is going to do.

I squirm, trying to get away, my hands yanking on the handcuffs.

"Arabella, enough. You need to remain still," Latham snarls at me.

"You said you were re-tainting me," I plead.

"That was until I tasted him in your blood," Latham growls, and my mouth opens and closes like a fish, wondering what that means.

"Xavier's mark is directly over his. He is going to remove the taint and his essence from your blood and replace it with his venom."

"I have no fucking idea what you're talking about, but no! Whatever it is, the answer is no!" I scream at him, and his eyes flicker.

"I won't let him have you. You're mine, Arabella. This is happening. It's the only way," Latham snaps at me before he looks over at Xavier.

"Do it!" Latham snarls at Xavier, who stares horrified at whatever it is he is about to do.

"Now, Xavier!" Latham yells at him when Xavier's face turns demonic, all sharp-pointed edges.

Gone is the man I am familiar with, in his place now a monster. He indeed looks like a demon. Sharp teeth replace his regular pearly whites. A metallic substance drips from his teeth. His tongue now blue, flicks out as he licks his lips. A drop hits my leg and sizzles my skin like acid, making a blood-curdling scream leave me that I am sure the entire street would have heard. I thrash, trying to escape. I have never been in so much pain when suddenly a hand clamps over my mouth. Latham's demonic eyes watch mine as I try to breathe around his hand.

"Do it!" Latham snaps, and I scream and try to get free when his teeth suddenly sink into my leg.
