Story: Imperfect Gifts

She was surprised to learn her pussy did nearly the same thing when she focused on Ezra’s pain while she pushed the needle through his nipple. In one side, through the meat of it, and then out the other side. She leaned down to lick the blood and feltmagic. More than she expected, but she didn’t think much of it — of course, it catapulted her into an orgasm, so it was easy to miss.

Dev even let her run a single needle through the skin at the top of his enormous dick, just below the head. In, over, and back out without hitting the meat of his dick. He breathed through it as if he’d just bitten into a hot pepper, and then he talked her through taking it out. She’d leaned forward and taken his dickinto her mouth afterwards, savoring the difference in the taste of his blood and Ezra’s. He hadn’t let her suck on him long, though he’d kissed her long and deep when he'd pulled her off his dick, so she didn’t have a chance to complain, nor did she remember she’d wanted to object once he’d kissed her breathless.

Eventually, the needles were taken out of everyone, Genie was leaned forward so her chest was on Ezra’s, and Elijah was put on a block of wood so he’d be high enough to fuck Genie’s face while Dev fucked her ass — while she was still seated on Ezra’s cock.

Dev used his fingers to get her ass ready, and it was a good thing because even with all the warmup he gave her, he was still a damnedtightfit. She’d noted he hadn’t been gentle with the boys when he’d fucked them, and she reveled in the feel of him being just as rough with her.

The first time Elijah’s dick went into her mouth, she tasted his blood, too — nearly identical to Elijah’s, though the energy of it was slightly different. She wanted to say more mischievous, but that was probably her logical mind trying to sort through it.

Dev had arranged them so when he pounded her, she moved on both of the twins in a way that ramped everyone up all together, and he got them all to the edge of an orgasm and backed off several times.

“Fuck, Sir,” Elijah complained on one of those occasions.

“Quiet. You don’t have to be silent, but no more words.” Dev’s voice wasn’t as firm as it’d been earlier when he’d been issuing orders, which must’ve made Elijah think he could get away with not immediately following an order.

“Need to come so bad, Sir.Please.”

Genie saw motion over the top of her head and she aimed her head to look up as best she could while keeping Elijah’s cock in her mouth. Dev’s hand went around Elijah’s throat, theskin between thumb and forefinger pressed just under his chin, restricting Elijah’s breathing.

Dev kept fucking Genie’s ass, which meant she couldn’t help but move on both of the twins’ dicks, and the taste of Elijah’s cock completely changed. Genie was certain he had a much harder time holding his orgasm back while being strangled than when breathing. She got it — she’d had orgasms while her breathing was restricted as well, and when Elijah got carried away fucking her face and didn’t let her breathe as much as he should, she was closer to an orgasm, too.

When Dev finally let go of Elijah’s throat, the cat shifter picked up on the rhythm of fucking Genie’s face, as if he’d had to slow down while being choked, lest he come without permission.

Dev worked them up once more until everyone was right on the edge of release, and then ordered everyone to come.

Genie thought the top of her head might come off as she drank Elijah down, felt Ezra coming inside her, and her ass clenched around Dev’s cock while it shot blazing hot jizz into her.

And then she saw life as a cat, and a snake, and her owl — all superimposed over each other. She saw what had to be India, with the odd-shaped roofs, and two people being whipped in the street until blood flowed down their backs. She felt the pain of a whip from inside a dungeon and knew her brother was feeling the same whip beside her. She felt the confusion of a young teen being raped in the ass and getting his first erection from it, without understanding.

And then there was Brooke’s voice in her head, telling her to breathe, reminding her who she is. The door opened and people came in. Genie was lifted away from the others and then cradled in the arms of a female gazelle shifter, a cool cloth wiping her face while her ass and pussy dripped come, but she didn’t carebecause she wasn’t herself. She was Dev and Ezra and Elijah as well as herself.

“We all walk together up to Dev’s suite,” Brooke said. “His bed is big enough for them all. The four need to stay within eight feet of each other, so stay in a tight square.”

They took the stairwell, and the gazelle didn’t seem to have a problem carrying her. She wanted to argue that she could walk, but she wasn’t certain she could. Dev touched her once, on a landing, and she wanted to grab him to keep the contact, but she couldn’t get her arm to do as she wanted.

Vampires were carrying the twins, and Remy supported Dev as they walked side-by-side. Brooke followed and gave orders for them to slow down and bunch up, when the group got too far apart. Everything swam. The hallway was hazy, but she was glad they were off the stairs.

“First things first,” Brooke said once everyone was on the bed but not touching each other. “I’ve been into everyone’s head enough to be certain no one meant for this to happen, or even understood the possibility of it. If I saw that this was done on purpose, the person who intended it to happen would be severely punished and then sent out of the city, with the punishment for returning without permission being death by my hand.”

Genie’s heart stalled in her chest and her stomach turned to lead.

“You’re all in the clear because only Dev understands what has happened, and it never occurred to him he was creating the possibility of it.”

“What’s happened?” Genie asked. “Something went horribly wrong with the orgasm.”

“The four of you have formed a circle of power. The twins are joined because of the circumstances of their birth. Shapeshifter multiples often have a special bond, formed in the womb andstrengthened throughout their lives — tighter and stronger than any blood bond formed in adulthood. Under my orders, Dev bit them and joined the three of them. I oversaw the connection so they didn’t form a circle of power from it.”

“The needles,” Dev said. “I introduced blood into the equation, and then we all orgasmed at the same time, and it wasn’t a normal orgasm.”

“No,” said Ezra, “it was a blow-the-world-apart orgasm. They aren’t usually that good without a vampire’s venom. Sometimes not even their venom can make them that good.”

“Genie had a half-dozen or so drops of Ezra’s blood, two drops of Dev’s blood, and probably a drop of Elijah’s, but it was spread around, though it was enough she could pick up the difference in flavor between the twins’ blood.” Brooke sounded pissed, but she stroked Genie’s arm with tenderness. “I’ve had plenty of both of their blood and the taste is infinitesimally different. The binding was prepped and ready at that point, or she’d have never been able to clue in on the difference. However she had no way of knowing that, so she’s in the clear.”

“I didn’t taste anyone’s blood,” Elijah said.

“Your brother sucked Genie’s nipples after the needle went through, and the connection between the two of you, combined with the fact Genie had some of your blood, was enough to drag you into the spell.”

“Spell?” Genie asked. “Like a magic spell?”
