deep, faster and faster in a punishing
rhythm. He gripped her hair, winding
it around his fist to jerk her head
back, staring down into her bright
green eyes with fierce determination.
“Mine!” he snarled. “I need you to
say it, Raven. Tell me you are mine.”
Raven could feel the storm building
inside her. Half of her wanted to
smack him for demanding an answer
from her, but the other half shivered
in pleasure that a man as powerful
and giving as he was wanted her to
belong to him. No matter how much
she tried to deny it she knew that she
belonged to him.
“Swear that you will never take any
other male but me and my brothers,”
Savitar demanded again, his voice a
guttural growl. “Mate with me. I need
to hear you say it! Say you belong to
me!”
“I swear!” Raven cried out, giving
into the heat of the moment. “But if
you claim me as yours, I swear to
god I will cut off your cock if you
ever cheat on me.”
“Never!”
Savitar
snarled
in
triumph. “I will want no other till the
end of days. Now come for me, my
queen. Come on my cock while I
claim you as my mate.”
“I need…”
“I will give you what you need,” he
growled as his mouth came down on
hers again. He moved one of his
hands between them and rubbed at
her clit while he pounded his
massive cock into her over and over
again. She threw her head back and
screamed his name as she came,
squeezing his cock so tight he could
barely move inside her.
Savitar felt the muscles of her
pussy clamp down on his cock and
fought the need to come. Extending a
hand, he willed the animalistic side
of himself to come forward enough to
change his fingernails into claws. He
watched as Raven’s eyes grew wide
at the sight and held still, fully
embedded inside her.
“Holy
fuck!
You…you
have
claws!”
“Do not fear me,” he whispered. “I
only wish to cut myself for you to
drink from me to form our bond. I
would never hurt you, Raven.”
“I…”
He watched as she gulped then
jerked her head in a quick nod. He
reached up and slid one of his claws
over his chest right above his heart.
Simply waiting, he willed his hand
back to normal as he watched her
look at the thin line of life’s blood
trickling from the shallow wound that
was already closing. He would not
force her to take from him, but the
burning need to form the blood bond
with her was overwhelming.
A rumbling purr of satisfaction
sounded deep in his chest as he felt
her lips touch his chest. His cock
hardened to the point of pain and he
began thrusting deep again, riding her
hard as she took what he had offered
her. Unable to wait any longer he
buried his head in the crook of her
neck and bit down deep, sinking his
fangs into her soft flesh, claiming her
as his mate. He heard her cry out as
she was thrown into another orgasm,
her pussy pulsing around him and
continued to drive his cock deep
inside her with fast, hard strokes,
wanting to prolong her pleasure.
The second the sweet taste of her
blood hit his tongue, his cock
exploded. He shoved deep so that his
cock was seated to the hilt at the
entrance to her womb and gave into
his own release as he drank from her.
Satisfaction filled him as he felt the
connection between them snap into
place, sealing his claim on her with
their blood bond.
“Savitar!” Raven cried.
He could feel her pleasure mix
with his own as his cock swelled,
growing larger inside her until he
was locked in her tight channel,
ensuring that not a drop of his seed
escaped her depths. He pulled back
from her neck and swiped his tongue
over his mark.
“Mine!” he roared out as he jerked,
filling her with pulse after pulse of
his hot, thick cream, making her
scream out with pleasure again.
It was done.
Raven was his and death would
come to anyone foolish enough to try
to take her from him.
Chapter Five
Raven woke to the sound of waves
crashing outside the open window of
the bedroom. It took her a few
moments to clear her brain of sleep
enough to realize she was still in
Arcadia and she was lying on
Savitar’s enormous bed.
Well hell, there went her theory
that yesterday had all been some
crazy-ass hallucination.
After she and Savitar had made
love, he had insisted she soak in the
pool as he left long enough to get
them food and drinks before coming
back to their secret cavern. She
smiled at the thought of that cavern
belonging to both of them. When he
returned they had dined on some
strange looking food, but to her relief
everything had tasted delicious and
the sweet wine was now her new
favorite beverage of choice.
During their meal Savitar told her
about the history of Arcadia and a
little bit about his past. He told her
how the wars had ravaged their
world and the Gods punished them
for the blood they spilled. He
explained how he and his brothers
had taken over ruling the Palace of
the Iron City after his parents had
been killed and told her of some of
the problems they had faced as
rulers. He explained more in detail
about the disproportionate ratio of
females to males and how females
had become a rarity on their world.
He’d also explained the problems
that existed with the rogues seeking
females to capture. It made Raven
furious that females were used and
bartered by the rogues, but she was
glad that they had havens, or guarded
sanctuaries for unmated females
where they were protected.
Raven
still
had
trouble
understanding the whole mating thing.
Savitar answered all the questions
she had asked and, although she
appreciated his candid answers, that
didn’t mean she understood most of
it. He had explained when he had
claimed her as his mate while they
had been making love he had put his
scent marker on her, ensuring that
other males would know not to try
and breed her. His cock had also
done that freaky swelling thing that
she was informed would help make
sure she got pregnant.
That little bit of information had
given her pause, but she was on a
birth control shot so she wouldn’t
have to worry about the possibility of
babies for at least a few more months
until her shot wore off. He had
frowned when she had explained
birth control to him, since they had no
such thing on his world, but there
was nothing either of them could do
about it so they let the subject drop.
Savitar had explained the whole
mating thing and the blood bond he
and his brothers had created with her.
With the exchange of their blood,
they had created a pathway into each
other’s minds. The bond that was
formed when blood was exchanged
during sex was even stronger and
would only grow more powerful the
more they did it. There was also
some sort of mating or bonding ritual
that would ensure the favor of the
Gods, but that wasn’t something
Raven was worried about right now.
She wasn’t ready to take all three of
the brothers on at once yet, and they
would simply have to wait until she
was.
She found it fascinating that their
Gods were actively involved with
the people of Arcadia. It was hard
for her to imagine, but if she had
learned anything in her life it was that
religion, politics, and penis size
were three things that were never to
be debated with men.
Not that Savitar had anything to
worry about with the latter of those,
not with the damn club he was
packing between his legs. His cock
may just be her new favorite thing…
and the body it was attached to of
course. After they had finished their
meal, they had made love again then
once more right before they had gone
to sleep. Raven was glad that it
wasn’t a fluke. The moment Savitar
had touched her, the connection
between them was as amazing as the
first time and their bond grew even
stronger. The sex was better than
anything she had ever experienced.
Hell, it was better than anything she
could have possibly imagined.
Savitar was the epitome of her
every fantasy come to life. He was
smart, caring, and passionate. He
was also built like a Greek god and
seemed to know just how to touch her
to make her melt. If she was going to
be stuck on Arcadia, she had lucked
out finding a man like Savitar.
His brothers were a different story
though…
Savitar had told her the basics of
mating on Arcadia and how their
males waited their whole lives to
find the one woman who would
complete them. She could understand
how Kadan and Tristan had been
overwhelmed at her arrival, but they
had a long way to being forgiven in
her book. Even so, Raven felt an
inner desire to be with Kadan and
Tristan that she couldn’t deny. As her
bond with Savitar grew stronger, so
did her bond with his brothers.
Arcadians were lucky because the
blood bond and special bonds of the
brothers ensured that a mate would
welcome all of them, not just a single
male.
She loved that Savitar seemed to
understand and accept her reticence
at trusting them after what had
happened between her, Kadan and
Tristan earlier. She also appreciated
that Savitar didn’t push her to accept
them. She’d felt his extreme pride at
being the one that she had let close to
her, but knew he wanted her to give
his brothers the chance to make up
for what they did. All he asked was
that she try and get to know them at
her own pace.
Raven had agreed, but she still had
her doubts.
During their talk she had told him
about her past. Since Kadan and
Tristan already knew about the
horrors of her childhood, she felt
okay about sharing the information
with Savitar as well. Her breath had
caught at the depth of rage she had
felt coming off him when she gave
him the brief rundown on what had
happened to her then she quickly
moved on to telling them about
happier times in her life. She told
him how proud she was to be a
police detective and laughed at the
concern he expressed over her
chasing after murderers and other
criminals.
The truth was they were more alike
than either of them had originally
thought. Well, except for the whole
royalty
thing.
Raven
wasn’t
comfortable knowing that she was
technically now the Queen of the Iron
City. She was in a strange world and
now was considered one of their
leaders? How was she supposed to
lead anything when she had no clue
what the hell she was doing?
The sound of the waves outside
seemed to grow louder making her
groan as her head began to hurt. She
tried to turn over in bed and smiled
to herself as she was held in place by
the large arm flung across her waist.
Last night after they had left the
cavern,
they
had
retreated
to
