“I’m sorry you’ve had to take on the mantle, but I’m thankful for it, too. You don’t know how relieved I am that I have someone I can trust to take care of our people when I’m put out of service like this.”
“Nathan and Mordecai say the clock starts on when Ell will attack once you’re Alpha again.”
I nodded. “Right. The rest of the evening is on a tight schedule. You ready for this?”
He nodded, touched me, and handed the power back to me. I gasped at the flow of it, but stood straighter and made the adjustments needed to handle all my people once more. The exchange was just a matter of intent with us, because we’ve done it so many times when I’ve been forced to leave the realm and hand power over to him. It’s usually only for moments, or a few hours, but this had been much longer, so the transfer hurt, but it was a good hurt, and I breathed in the power and forced everything to fall back into place.
He kissed my forehead and told me, “We’ll talk later. You have much to do in the coming hours.”
I walked out the door with him and then headed towards the collection room, where everyone ends up if they try to teleport onto the property.
Nathan was opening the room as I approached, and I couldn’t help my smile when Kirsten and Marco walked out. I hugged her and thanked her for bringing him, but she only kissed my cheek and flashed out.
I could tell Marco had recently fed, and well, but that was fine. We were gearing up for battle, so of course he had.
Nathan grinned and waved us towards the room I’d been sleeping in, and I dragged Marco behind me.
The second the door was closed, I pulled my shirt off, stepped out of the sweatpants, and asked him, “Why are you still wearing clothes?”
“Fuck, Cora. I was terrified. You were gone so long, and we couldn’t find you! I kept telling everyone you’d rescue yourself if we couldn’t get to you, but it was hard, not knowing.”
“Yes, I know, and I’m sorry I insisted on doing the full-moon run here, instead of taking my people somewhere else. It was hubris. Now take your clothes off!”
But he was already in the process of disrobing, and vampires can move fast, so seconds later, we were skin to skin, our arms wrapped around each other, and it was like coming home. He was cool, and strong, and I stuck my nose at the crook of his neck and breathed him in. He’d fed from wolves in the Chattanooga pack, and it made him smell even better. Like me. My power. Ranger had been holding the power, but it was still mine, even while he’d held it, because so much of magic is about intent, and he fully intended to give it back to me. I was damned lucky he didn’t want the spot, or I’d have been forced to fight him to get it back after this long.
But we were on a schedule. Marco and I had twenty minutes to fuck and handle the oath, and then we’d do the oath to pull Aaron, Nathan, Kirsten, Marco, and me into a binding so we’d have all four elements in one big power circle.
And Sophia had told me that since Kirsten and Mordecai are linked so closely, it was possible our circle would make some of his power exponential as well, even though he wasn’t part of the binding.
It hadn’t escaped my notice that we’d be elevating Marco to the status of one of the strongest vampires on the planet. Alone, he wasn’t even close, but in war, it’s about your friends and allies, and not just how strong you are.
Still, there aren’t many I’d feel comfortable giving this kind of power, but there wasn’t a doubt in my mind that Marco would manage it without it going to his head.
And if he didn’t, well, we gave him the power — we could take it away, though I’d never tell him that.
“You just did.”
I looked at him in shock and realized that, skin to skin, he’d been able to get past my shields and into my mind even without any of the ties we’d had holding us together before. Fuck. “Okay, so you’re more powerful than normal right now, and I misjudged. Look, you’re only in this fight because you refused to hand me over. Even if I didn’t one-thousand percent trust you, I’d be obligated to do whatever I can to help, but I do trust you.”
He smiled. “I know you do, and I appreciate that you have an escape clause in there, should you be wrong about me. My practical wolf.” He breathed in, grasped around my rib cage under my arms, lifted me, and when I spread my legs, he sat me on his cock.
And I was suddenly filled with him. I’d been wrong before about his arms feeling like home. This was home. This was what I’d needed. He kissed me, and I melted into his embrace, but I needed to move, so I squeezed him with my inner muscles, and a groan rumbled deep in his chest.
And then I was on my back on the bed, and Marco moved oh-so-slowly above me, achingly precise, rubbing over and over the magic spot inside me until I was the one making noises.
But then he went in and held, his mouth to my ear, the crook of his neck aimed so it was right at my mouth. “Bite me, my love. Let’s go straight to home plate without bothering with the other bases this time. Drink from me, and I’ll drink from you, and we’ll join in every way possible right from the start.”
When I take on my warrior form, I have formidable teeth, and I concentrated on growing them and nothing else, and then I bit him and punctured the skin — and drank.
He gave me a ten-second head start before his teeth were sliding into the side of my neck, and I felt that oh-so-familiar suction.
But we were alone for it this time, so he gave me an orgasm cocktail, and suddenly, I was orgasming while drinking him down. When the holes I drank from started to heal and the blood slowed, I bit again, piercing the skin and then relishing in the spurts of blood because it meant his heart was beating with the heat of my blood in him, and all the while, I shuddered from the ongoing venom-induced climax that kept me on top of a mountain, or rather, screaming down the mountain at mach speed. My spine arched against him, demanding and begging for him to move inside me, but he held our bodies still on the outside, so the only thing moving was my inner muscles, jerking and spasming, gripping and squeezing the thick, hard length of his cock.
My orgasm powered him up, and since we both now had access to each other’s people, I could feel my wolves and his vampires getting the power from our little ceremony.
Fuck, there was nothing little about this. It was huge in every way, and I felt our joining in not only every cell and nerve ending in my body, but in the shape and frequency of my aura, until it felt as if my hair was floating out from my body, though I knew it wasn’t. I remember hoping our people were only getting generic energy from this, and weren’t picking up on the fact I was having a minutes-long orgasm, but it was only a fleeting thought because there was too much to process.
When my vampire finally deemed we’d shared enough blood, and he’d licked my wounds closed while I watched the crude bites I’d put in his neck magically erase before my eyes, he finally moved, and my screams of ecstasy filled the room. My clit pulsed with heat and need, but I didn’t reach down to relieve it — I wanted to be taken to my next orgasm completely organically with nothing else: no venom, no fingers, no extra help. Just his cock hammering away inside me until the pleasure made me explode with bliss.
