Running in Fear: Dragon's Den (16 page)

“See how good you taste?” Dominic turned into the water, finishing his shower. “I'll have to hunt before I wake Suzanne.”

Archer turned off the water and stepped out of the shower, grabbing the towel that Dominic handed him. “Take Blair with you. I don't want you out there by yourself.” Archer strolled into the bedroom with him and they stopped.

Uryne sat in the chair. Blair and Granger nodded to him. “Uryne, what can I do for you? As you can see, Suzanne is sleeping,” Dominic asked the fae warrior, as he stood.

Uryne bowed before him. “I offer myself to you, so you don't have to hunt. I know you haven't fed in a while, and will need to feed. We need to keep you in the compound, and if you need to feed from one of us, then we would be honored.”

Dominic studied the warrior before him. “Thank you, Uryne. I'm the one who is honored.” Dominic moved to him and wrapped his hand behind his neck. He swiped his tongue along the vein in his neck and sank his teeth into his skin. The blood of the fae warrior was strong and powerful and flowed into him. His blood wasn't as powerful as the Goddess's, but it was enough so that he didn't have to take as much as he usually did.

Slowly, he released his neck, and closed the wounds. “Thank you, Uryne, Please go rest. I have a feeling tomorrow we will be very busy.”

The fae warrior disappeared from the room, and Dominic turned to see Blair staring at him. “What's wrong now?”

“You could have feed from any of the servants. You know this, right? My father has many that allow us to feed from them.” Granger turned and lay back onto the bed next to Suzanne.

Dominic threw his head back and laughed. “You're jealous!” He shifted, and in an instant he was beside Granger, his hand tightened into his hair. “Granger, you know my companions are the only ones that I will ever touch in a sexual way. As for feeding, it was a great honor to feed from him, and his blood is powerful. Only the Goddess's blood is as strong. I think we are going to need all our strength for the upcoming months.”

“You could have taken his blood from his wrist,” Granger snapped.

“Granger, enough.” Dominic yanked his head back and kissed him hard. He nipped his bottom lip. Granger tried to push him down to the floor, but Dominic wasn't about to let Granger take control. He knew Granger needed a quick hard fuck.

He yanked Granger to the floor into a kneeling position. Archer stepped in between them, and pushed some lube into Granger's ass. “You're mine, Granger. All of you are. I don't share, and I don't want any others.” Dominic growled into his ear, as he slammed his cock into his ass, riding him hard.

“Archer, work his cock now. Let's show this man who loves him.” Archer fell to the floor beside him and grabbed Granger's cock, sucking it.

Blair leaned down and took Granger's mouth in a brutal kiss, never stopping, while Dominic pounded into his ass. “Now, Archer.” Dominic ordered, and his seed spilled into Granger's ass.

Granger moaned at the same time Archer did, sucking his cock clean. Blair stood and grinned.

“That should make you sleep well tonight.” Blair winked at Dominic as Granger stood and stretched.

His gaze landed on Suzanne, and he smiled. It was time to wake their mate so she could feed, then he would send her into the healing sleep for the next few hours.

Dominic crawled onto the bed while Granger and Blair slipped into the shower. Archer lay on the other side of the bed next to Suzanne.

“Wake, Suzanne, you need to feed.” Dominic scraped the side of her neck with his fangs, his cock hard from looking at their beauty. Her eyes fluttered and she tried to stretch, but groaned at the stiffness in her body.

“Easy, Little Red, you're still going to be a little sore, but you need to feed before you go back to sleep.” He caressed her face.

Suzanne grinned and finally opened her eyes. “I take that it worked, and everyone is okay?” Her voice was a whisper.

“Yes, everyone is fine. Pierre and Adonis were amazed at how well you handled the pain.” Dominic watched for any reaction from her when he noticed her flinch. “So you did know it would be painful, but you didn't tell us.” Dominic snapped his teeth together.

“Dominic, I had no choice. There was nothing you could have done to help, and you know it. Plus, with all life there is pain.”

“That doesn't mean I have to like it. This might hurt a little, but I need you on me when we sleep.” Dominic lifted her carefully, but he saw her wince and sigh when she rested onto his chest. “Feed, Suzanne, and we'll all sleep now.”

Her fangs sank into his chest, and he smiled. Suzanne's hand held Archer's and Blair's as he lay down next to Dominic. Granger leaned over, kissing his cheek softly. “I'm sorry, Dominic. I didn't mean to get…hell, I don't know what the hell happened.”

Dominic grinned. “Granger, I believe over the next few months all our tempers are going to be short and explosive, but all of us must remember that as long as we are together, no one can hurt us.” Suzanne closed the holes on his chest and turned her head to stare at Granger.

“You're okay?” She tried to reach for him, but he leaned over Archer and kissed her cheek.

“I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Just rest. We're all going to curl around you tonight, and keep you safe where you belong, in the center of our world.” Granger slid his arm around Archer's waist while Blair laid his arm on Suzanne's back, and his leg on Dominic's.

He glanced around the bed at his companions as they settled. He took a deep breath. He knew the danger was moving closer and closer to them. Dominic's vision turned to that of Ladon who clawed inside of him, ready for the upcoming war.

Rest, my friend. We are surrounded by our hearts, and no one will take them from us.

Suzanne glanced up at him, and a small puff of smoke came out of her nose. “We will face this together, my love, never alone again.” She rested her head back down, and closed his eyes.

Tomorrow he would worry, but right now, he had his world around him, and that was all that mattered. Dominic smiled, listening to Suzanne's little snores as she slept. Yes, she had brought them full circle in their lives. They were all now whole, and light shined bright on all of them.
