Tasting Darkness

Read Tasting Darkness [Tempting Darkness] By Jessica Hall Book 2 Chapter 39 - The majority of Lycus’s memories were similar to that of Kalen’s. Thing’s | had already seen before. Yet his last core memory was of Kalen’s suicide, how Lycus Kalen’s suicide, how Lycus watched his depression grow out of hand when | didn’t reply to the chat group .

| realized that all of Lycus’s hate forat the start was purely for that reason; he sawas the person responsible for taking the one person who meant the most to him, the one person he spent the vast majority of his life protecting. Lycus sawas the villain that repeatedly broke him and drove him to the edge. He blamed my absence for Kalen’s destruction and blamedfor him killing himself.

That hate only stopped that night in the basement when | took it from Kalen. Only then did Lycus see past his hate for me, only then did his opinion ofchange. Only then did he realize | wasn’t the enemy but the missing piece, their keeper and their mate but most of all the one that could piece Kalen back together again.

Once the last memory hit me, | cout of it exceedingly fast. The last t| shredded | was exhausted, but my bond was desperate, tuggingto finish completing it, hungry for power, knowledge, and for them. Hours could have passed, yet | knew it was only moments that | was trapped in that state.

Twasn't in play at this time, and | was stronger. My body devoured his memories as if it devoured his magic fast, hard, and unforgivingly. My bond knew what | wanted and craved, and | knew what | needed to do. There was no other answer.

My eyes opened to find Lycus hovering overas he went to layon the couch.

“Aleera?” he murmured as my eyes flew open. He seemed astonished, yet | felt the nervousness that washed through him at what | now knew, makingwonder if the others knew what Kalen was, yet the feeling | got from him they didn’t.

This one secret Lycus harbored and kept even from them. It madewonder what secrets Tobias kept and ultimately, what Darius kept. Yet | didn’t have tto ponder further as power surged in my veins, and tickled my veins as it burned cold, ice cold as his magic seeped into my bones and | could feel its icy tendrils filling and burning into my soul until that icy feeling started to boil, sizzle and turned my blood to molten lava.

Lycus gasped when | practically threw him off of me.

Only one other could satisfy this need inside me, this deep desire for power, a hunger that could not be satiated.

This overwhelming urge to know, to put the puzzle pieces together. A deep desire to mend the bonds that were broken for so long, to repair my mates. After seeing Lycus’ memories, | needed Tobias, and | would have him no matter what.

If Darius tried to stop me, I'd fight him down, however he remained where he was, still in the splace.

“Aleera,” Darius growled at me. His voice was husky, and | could tell from the sharp outline of his body that watchingf**k, c****m, and mark our mates had done wonderful things to his insides. His c***k was straining against the fabric of his pants.

He could pretend to be above it all if he wanted, but we both knew if he could get away with it without consequences, he would f***kuntil | was a broken mess, then f**k the pieces until he shattered me.

| would love every moment of it and so would he, he just didn’t want anyone to know the dark desires that filled him, flooded the bond and I had a feeling our desires weren't so far apart, one in the same.

“What?” | snarled looking over my shoulder at him.

He nodded to the couch again. “On the couch. Kneel on it this time.” My bond wanted to rebel against his order yet | forced it down, knowing Darius could force my shred to end if he really wanted to, so it was best to give him what he wants then risk a needle in the a***s that would end it all like last time.

Devilsbane would end this and even my bond recognized right now we were at the mercy of the shred and Darius so | complied with his demands.

My body quivered at his command. As much as | wanted to say no, | also knew that Darius’s orders brought unbearable pleasures like any other. | would drown in it and still be desperate for more.

Tobias cbehind me, kissing my neck and breathing against it.” On her knees,” he growled into my ear.

“You're mine now, Aleera. Darius wants to watchf****k you. You're showing your true colors now my Naughty Girl. Kneel.” | didn’t hesitate. | went back to the soaked couch cushions and knelt on them. The scent of sex surrounded me, but it did nothing to relieve the pounding in my blood, the thrum between my thighs.

Tobias kissed my a***s, the cushion dip behindas he cto kneel behind me. He ran his tongue from the dip of my lower back all the way to my shoulder which he bit down on. | hiss as he breaks my skin before the euphoria of his bites sends my bond soaring, as his arm wrapped around my chest, pullingup on my knees as he squeezed my breast.

The warmth of his chest seeped into my back as he fed on me. Blood trailed down my neck, over my collarbone, before running between my breasts. Lycus growls leaning forward and licking up the blood trail, his tongue following it back to my lips. Lycus kissesand | kiss him back, the bond wanting them both when Tobias pulled his fangs from my neck, reaching for him with his other hand; he gripped the back of Lycus’s neck, ripping his lips away, then crashed his lips against Lycus'’s.

Kalen groaned at the sight of them and Darius cleared his throat making Tobias pull away from him, shoving him back as the high of his bite started to leave.

Tobias grips my throat, tilting my head back. “I never said you could kiss him. You're mine right now,” Tobias growled before he kissedhungrily before | could protest that Lycus kissed me, not the other way around.

My blood coated my tongue as he forced his tongue past my lips, kissingdeeply before he shovedforward onto my hands and knees again. Pulling back, he smackedwith his open palm making one cheek burn with a sweet intense pain.

“Stay still,” he ordered.

Darius continued to watch. He slumped onto the armchair across from us by the fireplace, kicking his pants off and revealing his own magnificent c***k. “Again,” he ordered. He gathered the wetness that dripped from his eager tip and used it for lubrication as he watched the show.

Tobias didn’t need to be told twice. He smacked my a***s again, harder this tand on the other cheek. | moaned into it and he pet me.

“There's my good girl. Do you want another?” Whimpering, | nodded, my bond wanted whatever they would giveas long as it ended with power surging through my veins and my mark on their necks, it reveled in the pain and pleasure.

| was walking a thin line between like teetering on a razor’s edge, deliciously pleasurable, addictive and their arousal only enhanced mine. | pushed my a***s out against him. His very touch was like electricity, easing the ache inside me. “More,” | whispered.

Tobias slappedagain, even harder than before. Dots of blood were left from where his nails had peeped turning to sharp points just like his fangs. The delicious heat of pain spread through my cheek and | writhed against him.

“Again,” Darius ordered with a grunt. His hand moved faster, still eyes locked on the both of us.” Keep going, | want to watch you paint her a****s red.” “Hear that?” Tobias asked. He smackedhard and | shivered beneath him. “He wants your entire a****s to be red.” Tobias smacked the other side again making my entire body shudder.” Your greedy little bond will get what it wants after we give him what he needs.” He smackedagain and the burn spread over both cheeks, it was all over, but instead of hating it, | loved it. My outsides matched my insides at this rate, burning hot with desire.

“Good,” Darius panted. His eyes were hooded. His hips twitched as he thrust against himself, seeking his release. “Now, you can take her, Tobias. Sink into that wet pu****y that’s just begging for you.” Tobias nodded and pulled his hard c***k out, he pushed it against my burning a***s cheeks, teasing me. | pushed back against him, wanting him to sink into me.

He chuckled and smacked my a***s one final hard tbefore ramming himself into the hilt inside of me. | was impressed my body could take this rougher than | was used to sex. Not only take it, but crave it. It was like ssinful creature had woken up inside ofand all | wanted was to feast this delicious mix of bliss and pain.

“Damn,” he grunted. “She’s so tight and so f***king wet.” | relaxed against the cushions. | was more than willing to let him do all the work and savor the stinging bliss that worked its way through my system. The hunger that was creeping up onagain, | would need my strength. Yet as Darius got to his feet and cto stand by me, | glanced at him.

“Yes.” Darius moaned. He bit his bottom lip hard, eyes trained on us. | couldn't help but crane my head to the side and keep getting glimpses of him. | loved watching as he stroked his enormous c***k.” Harder,” he ordered Tobias. “She can take it. She wants it.” | nodded. | did want it. Tobias grabbedby my hips and used them for leverage as he pushed my head low, and jerked my hips up higher. He plowed intoso fast and hard that | started seeing stars in my vision. | lost all sense of time; all | could focus on was how Tobias’s c***k brushed against my inner walls and gspot in the most delicious way when he was rough like this.

“Faster!” Groaned Darius. But | wasn’t sure if he was talking to himself or us anymore. His c***k jerked in his hand, Tobias jerkedup by my shoulder just in tas thick ropes of semen exploded out of Darius and across my face and lips. “Lick it up,” he ordered me.

| obeyed, which was difficult since Tobias hadn't stopped pounding me. I licked his c***k, and Darius groaned as | sucked on the tip, the salty liquid dissolved on my tongue almost with a bitter-sweetness | hadn't expected, and my bond whined when he stepped away, his c**k leaving my lips with an audible pop.

Tobias heldin place and pounded intowhen with what can only be described as Vampire speed he pulled out ofand flippedto my back before driving himself into me. | grip his shoulders before my bond goes berserk with its need to claim him and overrides me.

Tobias growls as my legs lock around his waist and my arms around his neck, but he relents lettinghave control, and pullsonto his lap, gripping my hips and slammingdown on his c***k.

| moan feeling my walls flutter and squeeze him while his teeth grazed and broke my skin as he sucked my skin, licking up the droplets of blood his teeth caused when | felt the walls insideburst and power exploded in my veins.

| absorbed him like a vacuum, his magic coursing through every atom and cell inside me, strengthening and tainting every part of me. We were both sent hurtling over the edge as my entire being squeezed around him, threatening to break him.

As the last spasm pulsed through me, | sank my teeth into his neck; | would take what | needed from him too. He would be mine, and so would his memories and his magic. My power would be unstoppable. My surroundings blurred and | chuckled to myself at the falling sensation.

Three down, one to go and | knew | saved the best for last because Tobias’s power was far stronger then Lycus and my bond couldn’t wait to get its h***ks into Darius but first | had to survive what Tobias endured, had to survive his memories and what | saw first sickenedto my core as my sickenedto my core as my scenery changed and | found myself in a new place.
