Page 47 of Resurrection (Daemons & Lumens #2)

My Princes were still nowhere in sight, so I headed for the stage, ready to sing my first song of the night.

I was going with something loud and in defiance of our predicament with the fucking Kings.

I would shout these lyrics to the world and fucking hope they could hear me.

That my voice would shake the foundation of that wretched manor and they would know Seraphina Valdis was coming for them.

The song was “Black Sheep” by Dorothy, a fellow take-no-shit female with a ridiculously good voice.

I hoped to do her song justice. The DJ passed me a mic as soon as I walked on stage.

I looked out at the crowd as the music quieted.

Dozens and dozens of eyes turned my way.

Some were glowing, pulses of power emanating from the daemons and lumens mixed into the crowd.

“Well. I’m not one for speeches. And I’m not good at feelings.

” I shrugged, walking the stage before this fierce group.

“But I am grateful you’re here. Those who fought to get us out of Blackbyrn Manor, thank you.

Those who joined us since, thank you. I have a feeling the shit hasn’t actually hit the fan yet, so when it does, just know I will give every fucking thing I have to kill those fucking bastards. ”

The people roared a defiant sound, shaking the walls, and I grinned.

I nodded to the DJ to start the song and closed my eyes, feeling the music in my bones.

This was a reckoning. My mission to avenge my family and exact my deadly revenge on The Obscuritas was so much more now.

I would destroy the entire fucking cult.

Every last one of those sick fucks would feel my wrath.

And we would have our vengeance for all we had lost.

When the final notes of the song bellowed out of me, the raucous crowd erupted into applause.

My blood began to sing with power, and I stared down at my arms, feeling the glow of it desperate to break free.

And in that moment, I felt them. My eyes didn’t need to scan the crowd.

I turned my head, and they were there at the edge of the stage.

My fucking Princes, all five of them. Fuck, they looked hot.

Mina whined, and I clenched my thighs in an attempt to quiet her.

Ty’s nostrils flared, and he whispered something too low for me to hear.

The others heard, and their grins turned dark and feral.

But I wasn’t afraid. Not of them, never of them. And I was ready to take the next step into the unknown. To allow them in. To break that final wall around my dark heart and give it to them. Would they break it? Could I survive this?

Everything in me screamed to run, but not from them. My body was begging me to leap into their arms, and for once, my mind, body, and soul were in agreement.

I nodded to the DJ for my next song, and the first instrumental notes of Rihanna’s “Love on the Brain” echoed into the basement.

I slowed it down, taking my time to sing out the lyrics, focusing all my attention on the five monsters standing before me.

Their devilish gazes tracked my every movement across the stage, and I reveled in their attention.

The bonds linking me to each of these creatures hummed with a heady power so strong, it should have scared me.

But I refused to cower to my fears. I would dive into this fire head first and relish the pain and pleasure my Princes had to offer.

And I would give them every piece of my broken, fucked up heart.

As soon as the song ended and the deafening applause rang out once more, Ty leapt onto the stage.

He knocked the mic out of my hand, grabbed my face, and crushed his lips to mine.

Whistles and more applause sounded throughout the party as this monster laid his claim on my soul.

I opened for him, eager for the taste of him, but he pulled away too soon.

His hazel eyes were almost glowing. “You are the most stunning, infuriating creature. Now come dance with us. I’m tired of all these males drooling over you.”

I grinned up at him. “What males? I only saw five Princes eye-fucking me in the crowd.”

Ty chuckled and spanked my ass. “More to come, pet.” He picked me up, and before I knew what was happening, I was flying through the air.

I screamed, the sound whooshing out of me as strong arms caught me easily. I looked into the eyes of my new daemon prince. His irises were glowing a silver so bright they looked like starlight. His lips twitched, hiding a smile as he watched me.

“The others weren’t kidding when they said you could sing. I’ve never heard such a beautiful voice.” His praises had my insides melting and my pussy soaking.

I blushed, my skin heating as his eyes traveled downward. Phenex growled as he took in the scraps of clothing barely covering my body. My pussy pulsed, and his nostrils flared. I wiggled, attempting to get out of his arms, but he held me firmly against his chest.

“And where do you think you’re going, now that I’ve got you in my arms?” Phenex mused, his silver eyes twinkling. His horns spiraled out of his head, and his tongue flicked out. It was forked and pierced.

I immediately needed to know what it would feel like between my legs. I bit my lip and squirmed, the heat building in my core almost too much. Mina was going fucking nuts with horny rage. “Shall we dance?”

Phenex smirked, scenting my arousal. “Hope you don’t mind if it turns into an orgy.”

I smiled my own devilish smile. “As long as I’m the main attraction.”

Andras suddenly appeared at my side and gripped my chin, forcing my head to the side. “No orgies on the dance floor. I won’t be sharing your screams of pleasure with every asshole in here.”

I rolled my eyes and smacked Phenex on the shoulder. “Put me down, daemon.”

His eyes crinkled when he smiled, and he set me on my feet, his hands still resting lightly on my hips.

He was still over a foot taller than me, and I had four-inch heels on.

His hair was wavy and unkempt, brushing against his shoulders.

He had a jawline straight from the gods, and the colorful tattoos dancing down his arms were full of stories I wanted to ask about.

The DJ was back to mixing, and a steady beat played out, almost as rapid as my heartbeat. The Princes surrounded me, blocking any view others might have had, and I smirked at them, turning in slow circles and moving my hips side to side. I brushed my fingertips across their chests as I moved.

Ty wore all black, as usual, but managed to get a bit of paint on his arms, and it glowed against his biceps.

Levi brought his arm up and dragged his fingers through his hair, watching me with the eyes of a predator.

He wore a white sleeveless shirt, and I laughed out loud at the glowing words on it.

The shirt had an arrow pointing up and down, with the words Two Seater in-between.

“You’re ridiculous.” I laughed again, moving my body against his and wrapping my arms around his neck. “It’s my favorite.”

Levi grinned, his navy eyes like liquid pools of darkness in the dim lights. “You’re my favorite.”

He leaned in and kissed me, his tongue running along the seam of my lips. I nipped at it, needing more. A body pressed against me from behind, and I leaned back slightly another of my Princes. I scented whiskey and felt the scratch of a five-day shadow against my neck. Devon.

“You look good enough to eat, my queen,” Dev murmured into my neck, trailing kisses down my skin even as Levi continued his teasing kisses against my lips.

I wrapped an arm around Dev’s head, threading my hands in his lush black hair, and pulled him closer.

The heat of bodies pressed in on us, and I knew all my Princes surrounded me.

More hands teased and touched my body as I lost myself to the music and danced for them.

My blood was a million degrees as their rough hands pawed at me, slipping along the fabric of my bikini.

Someone pushed the fabric aside and warm air assaulted my nipples.

I moaned as someone rolled the tender bud between their fingers.

I opened my eyes, and stared into the predatory gaze of my dark Prince.

“I have an idea. Time to go.” Andras was as controlling as ever. And I not-so-secretly fucking loved it.

I pouted up at him. “But we’re just getting started.”

Andras dragged his thumb across my bottom lip. “Yes, sweetheart, we are.”

Devon arranged my bikini top to cover my nips, and I winked at him. Such a gentleman. He held out his arm for me, and I took it, following Andras. Levi came up and took my other arm, and I glanced back to see Ty and Phenex walking behind us.

The rave was in full swing, with partygoers in various stages of undress.

Things were taking a wilder turn, and part of me wanted to stay and enjoy the show.

But the five men prowling around me were clearly on a mission, and I was too curious to see how this would go.

Power hummed in my veins, and I started to truly feel their emotions.

Lust. Hunger. Desire. Pain and pleasure.

The feel of them under my skin caused a whimper to escape my lips.

“Feeling a little needy, diabla ?” Levi teased, and I pinched his arm.

“Yeah. Needy and empty. Who’s going to fill me up first?” I purred, and several low growls sounded around me, making me laugh.

Andras turned his head slightly as he walked in front of us. “That’s for us to know, and you to feel.”

“Curiouser and curiouser,” I whispered.

Another surge of desire coursed through my body, and I moaned. This was new, whatever this feeling was. It was more than just desire and a need to be fucked. It was something deeper. An abyss was opening within me, and deep in my bones, I knew these men would tip me over the edge.
