DRAVEN

“And that would be?” I ask.

She shrugs. “Who knows? Like Morrigan said, days, weeks, less. Without having any form of mapped star charts from the dawn of time, we are pretty much fucked in that respect.”

“Great. Just fucking great.”

“Speaking of great fucking,” Luc murmurs, going up behind Matilda and wrapping his arms around her. “Can we do some of that?”

She smiles and turns in his arms. “We can.” Then, she hisses and jumps back, rubbing her chest.

“I thought you were supposed to be getting a handle on that,” I snap, pulling her behind me.

“It’s harder than I thought,” Luc says, his expression betraying the seriousness of his words. “When I touch her, I lose all sense of willpower. The Incubus inside me just wants to devour her soul.”

“Fuck’s sake,” Vex snaps. “Get a grip.”

“It’s not as easy as flicking a fucking switch,” Luc growls.

“Can we not do this now?” Tilly interrupts. “Draven, can you protect me once more and then we will figure this shit out another time? Right now, we need each other, and there is no other way.”

I nod, stepping closer to Tilly and wrapping my arms around her protectively. The familiar chill of my Necromancer powers envelops us both, creating a barrier between her soul and Luc’s Incubus nature.

“We need to get back inside before anyone notices we’re missing,” Vex says, glancing around the dark forest. “And figure out what to do with that book.”

Tilly clutches the ancient tome tighter to her chest. “I’m not letting it out of my sight. Whatever’s in here, it’s important.”

“Agreed,” I say. “But we need to be careful. If that thing really is as powerful as you say, others will be able to sense it, too.”

We make our way back to the academy buildings, keeping to the shadows. The grounds are busy with night students, so we blend in as we casually integrate into the groups.

“My room,” Luc mutters and leads the way.

Silently, we slip up the stairs and follow Luc into his room. He closes the door quietly, and Tilly places the book on the desk next to a stack of other books.

She pauses and then bends down to read the title of the top one. “How to recognise a Succubus?” she snorts. “What? You don’t know?”

Luc’s eyes widen slightly, and I clear my throat. “Research,” he says and hustles his arse over to the stack. “They are a relatively new Demon, in a way.”

“Meaning?” she asks.

“It’s a long and sordid tale, but our great-great grandmother was one, and it didn’t end well. Her powers were far greater than they should’ve been. Succubi were then banned from being made up until a short time ago. They were replaced with the lesser Seductress Demon, but now they are back, although tightly reined in.”

“And you want to know about them because?” she asks carefully.

Luc looks at me for help. I shrug.

“You might as well tell her the truth. She deserves to know.”

“Know what?” Tilly asks, backing up slightly.

Luc huffs. “I didn’t want to say anything and cause you more worry if it was me being overly cautious, but when Vex did the ritual to bind us together, I have a horrible feeling that my blood—which is why I didn’t want it being used in that way—turned you into a Succubus.”

Matilda blinks and then reacts differently to how I expected her to.

She lets out a loud guffaw and slaps her hand over her mouth. “Seriously?”

“Possibly,” I say, crossing over to her. “Do you feel like you want to cast down men into Hell with sex?”

She snorts and shakes her head. “No.”

“Okay, then. Can we get back to the matter at hand?”

“Wait,” Luc says. “We should talk about this.”

“Nothing to talk about,” Tilly says, holding her hand up. “I don’t feel Succubus-y. Only Druid-y, and that’s enough for me right now.”

“Okay, but if you ever do feel like you want to fuck someone and rip their soul out, will you let me know, and we can figure it out together?” Luc says desperately, flailing amusingly at this sudden topic and Tilly’s less than bothered response to it.

“Sure thing,” she says with a smile. “You will be the first to know.”

“Well, now that is settled, can we please get to the great fucking we were promised?” Vex says, already stripping off. His runes, usually blue, are now tinged with more darkness.

If he notices, he doesn’t mention it or even look. He is in front of her quickly, stripping her of her clothes with magick, leaving her naked and gorgeous for us to do with her what we will.

Vex’s hands glide over her, his touch electric, sending little sparks of magick over her skin. She shivers as his lips kiss a trail down to her collarbone. I watch, mesmerised, as Luc removes his clothes and moves behind her, his hands cupping her breasts as he presses against her back.

Tilly’s eyes meet mine, dark with desire. “Draven,” she whispers, reaching for me.

I’m there in an instant, shedding my clothes with magick and capturing her lips in a searing kiss. She moans into my mouth as Vex thrusts two fingers into her hot little cunt before he pulls them out and licks them clean.

We guide her to the bed, laying her out before us like a feast. Luc’s eyes flash dangerously as he settles between her legs, his tongue darting out to taste her. Tilly arches off the bed with a gasp.

Vex and I can’t keep our hands off her as we explore every inch of her soft skin. I trail kisses down her neck as Vex takes a nipple into his mouth, swirling his tongue around the hardened peak.

Tilly writhes beneath us as we worship her body, driving her closer to the edge.

As Luc pulls on her soul, wanting to claim her even in death, I breathe in and send out my death magick, wrapping it around her essence, mimicking death so that she remains safe from the Incubus. She shivers as the icy tendrils settle over her soul. I stifle the grunt of effort. It’s becoming more challenging each time we do this. Tilly’s soul is attached to Luc. She wants him, craves him, loves him even. She wants to give herself up to him, even if she doesn’t know it. But I will protect her with my last breath if I have to.

Tilly’s body arches as waves of pleasure crash over her. Her cries of ecstasy echo through the room as Luc roughly sucks her clit into his mouth. I capture her lips again, swallowing her moans as Vex twists and tugs her nipples until she is gasping into my mouth.

Luc moves up her body, his cock ready for her. With a smooth thrust, he buries himself inside her. Tilly cries out, her fingers digging into the sheets as he sets a punishing pace. Tilly trembles in our arms as Luc ravages her. His face is contorted with pain as he tries not to kill her.

“Let go,” I say to him, shaking my head. “I’ve got her.”

“Can’t…” he rasps, but then, in a flash, he has assumed his true Hell form, and Tilly screams, but not in fear. His demonic cock has ripped her apart, but she doesn’t seem to care. She climaxes hard on his dick, the scent of her cum covering him sends my lust into a frenzy. Luc growls, his wings unfurling behind him as he savagely pounds into her.

“Fuck!” she screams. “Fuck! Luc! More!”

Tilly’s cries of pleasure echo through the room as Luc drives into her relentlessly. His demonic form towers over her, wings spread wide, eyes glowing with Hellfire. I can feel the strain of keeping her soul protected, but I won’t let up. Not when she’s lost in such exquisite ecstasy. Her body convulses as he makes her come again, burying his cock so deep, she is shoved up the bed and hits the headboard. He drags her back down, his clawed hands scraping her skin, making her bleed. She whimpers, and he pulls out, flipping her over so he can take her from behind. He drags her hips up and slams back into her, fucking her like an animal, as his wings flap, creating a breeze that ruffles her hair.

I sweat from the effort of protecting her. “Luc,” I pant, and he stares at me, but he knows what I need him to do. He rams his cock into her once, twice, and then he shoots his load deep inside her with a guttural roar. Tilly cries out as she climaxes again, her body shaking uncontrollably.

Luc pulls out and collapses beside her, his Demonic form fading away. I release my hold on Tilly’s soul, panting from the exertion.

Vex wastes no time, lying down and pulling her on top of him before impaling her on his cock. She moans, wanting more.

I move behind her, lifting her hips slightly, so I can scoop up the cum that is seeping out of her pussy. I use it to lube up her rear passage, burying my fingers up to the second knuckle as I stretch her wide open. My cock is raging after seeing Luc fuck her in his Demon form. I don’t know if I can be that vulnerable with her. She might not like what she sees. I slide my cock into her arse slowly, groaning as her tight passage grips me. She moans at the double penetration, panting, “More. More.”

We give it to her. Vex grips her hips and pushes her up slightly so he can ram into her harder, faster. I match his rhythm in her arse. Pounding into her, feeling my balls ready to explode. With a feral growl, I unload into her, wishing I’d had more time, but she makes it impossible to withhold an orgasm around her.

“Fuck,” I grunt, emptying my balls inside her arse before I pull out, and Vex flips her onto her back, driving into her, making the bed bounce as he fucks her hard, making her scream in ecstasy before he dumps his cum inside her cunt.

He drags his cock out of her and collapses next to her.

I push her legs wide and duck my head to her pussy. There are traces of blood from Luc’s monster cock, along with all the cum. I press my mouth to her and suck the cum into my mouth before I swallow, flicking my tongue over her clit, making her squirm.

“Fuck, Dray,” she pants, shoving her hands into my hair. “Suck me harder.”

Grinning, I suck her clit and nip it before grinding it between my teeth. I pull back and thrust four fingers inside her wrecked cunt. She screams and explodes in lust, splashing my face as she squirts all over me. I groan and lap it up, fisting my hand and fucking her with it, withdrawing and then burying my hand inside her.

My cock is bouncing, eager to get inside her. Vex hands me a cloth and I quickly wipe myself before I withdraw my hand and replace it with my cock. She is slippery, hot and fucking sweet.

I thrust deep, groaning at how perfectly she fits around me despite being thoroughly used by the others. Her legs wrap around my waist as I set a steady rhythm, savouring every sensation.

“Draven,” she moans, her nails raking down my back. “So good...”

I capture her lips in a searing kiss, swallowing her cries of pleasure. My hips snap faster, driving deeper as I feel my release building. Tilly arches beneath me, her cunt clenching as another orgasm crashes over her. The feeling of her clutching me sends me over the edge, and I come with a hoarse roar, spilling inside her.

We lay tangled together, catching our breath. I press gentle kisses to Tilly’s flushed skin, marvelling at how beautiful she looks, all ravaged and thoroughly used.

“You okay?” I murmur.

She nods and cups my face, her thumb tracing lines over my skin, following the black veins of what I am. “Show me.”

“Show you what?” I ask lightly.

“You.”

I gulp and lock gazes with Luc. He nods encouragingly, but it’s easy for him. He doesn’t look like death. I hesitate, feeling vulnerable in a way I’m not used to. Tilly’s eyes are warm and encouraging as she looks up at me.

“You don’t have to if you’re not comfortable,” she says softly. “I want to know all of you. The real you.”

Her words break something open inside me. With a shaky breath, I let my human glamour fall away. I become almost skeletal as the fat and muscles disappear and the black veins thicken and grow to spread over most of my skin. My eyes darken to full pitch black. Death hangs in the air, cold, foreboding and truly Demonic. When I open my mouth to speak, my teeth are sharp and gleaming. “This is me,” I say, my voice raspier in this form. “The real me.”

Tilly reaches up, her fingers gently tracing what is left of my face. I fight the urge to flinch away, to hide myself again. But her touch is reverent, exploring rather than recoiling.

“You’re beautiful,” she whispers.

A choked sound escapes me - half laugh, half sob. “Hardly.”

“You are to me,” she murmurs. Her hand slides to the back of my neck, pulling me down for a kiss.

Shocked that she would want to kiss me like this, I hesitate, but she presses her lips to mine and slips her tongue into my mouth. I kiss her back carefully, mindful of my sharpened teeth.

When we break apart, I rest my forehead against hers and shift back to my more human form. I fall so in love with this powerful witch-turned-Druid that it consumes me completely. Part of my soul becomes a part of hers, protecting her—always.
