Their Dark Hunter (Masters of Darkness) Read online

  “Yes, master.”

  A groan came from Trace’s mouth, and Vex knew the knots were starting to take their toll. Along with the pain, and the pleasure Mel was giving him, Trace would break soon enough. The revelation made his heart race.

  The flogger appeared in Vex’s hand and he ran the leather over the demon’s shoulders and restrained arms. As he made his way back to the front, he pulled Melody up. The dress covering her body vanished, and she stood in front of them completely nude. The stalks he made appear in front of Trace had the demon’s eyes going wide.

  Vex secured her neck and wrists, and had her bending over right in Trace’s field of vision. The long straps caressed her body while he ran the flogger over her back. Slowly, he brought it around in a circle and let the loose strands slap across her back. The sting he knew she experienced made a small cry come from her mouth. Vex looked between Melody and Trace, watching the demon eyeing him, cautiously. He knew Trace trusted him, but the evil within radiated out, sending a warning to Vex that he was ready in case he tried to hurt her. Vex smiled, and played off of it. The best thing for Trace would be the adrenaline, and he’d use that to increase the pleasure for all of them.

  “Doll, what’s your safe word? You better hope you remember it, or else you’ll pay for forgetting.”

  “Master is mine,” she said quietly.

  “Good girl.”

  Trace took in her pussy, and Vex watched him lick his lips. Slowly, Vex lowered and ran his tongue down Melody’s wet slit. “Fuck, I missed the taste of how sweet you are.” He pushed a finger deep inside of her, and licked alongside of it as he thrust faster.

  Sounds poured from her mouth. The distinct taste that Vex couldn’t place teased at his thoughts. What in the hell was that? It was something he’d never come across before. Something new. He swallowed it, letting it consume him. Although he didn’t want to stop, he stood, and brought the flogger across her ass.

  A cry came from Melody’s mouth and a bright red began to surface. “You made us wait too long, love. But you’re not going anywhere, anymore, are you.” It wasn’t a question. He didn’t care whether she wanted to leave again or not. She was staying. Period.

  “No, master.”

  “I didn’t think so.” Vex turned to Trace. “And you.” His eyes narrowed and he walked over to him. The demon’s gaze connected, but looked back toward Melody. It was time to focus on his demon, and he was about to have way too much fun.

  ***

  Trace kept his eyes averted from his master. Although he didn’t mind testing him, all he could see was Melody’s pussy. Watching Vex lick all over her glistening folds was torture. Pre-cum pooled on his stomach and the need to be touched didn’t ease.

  “You want to taste her.” Vex ran his tongue across Trace’s lips and although he knew he wasn’t supposed to do anything without his master’s order, Trace sucked Vex’s tongue into his mouth. The kiss his master put on his was punishing. Fingers tightened in his hair and teeth sank into his lip. “You know better.”

  The flat end of the riding crop was suddenly connecting against his thigh. Trace winced. What the hell had happened to the flogger? Dammit. He sucked in air and let his eyes meet his master’s. Vex’s hand left his hair and wrapped around his cock, tightly. He turned to Melody and the stalks vanished. She stood upright and turned around to face them. The pink tint flushed in her cheeks glowed beautifully.

  “Go to your mate, doll. He’s going to need you by the time I get finished with him.” Melody obeyed and Vex lifted her to straddle Trace’s hips. The knots in the rope dug in deep and he closed his eyes, feeding from the pain.

  “Doll, you can kiss his lips, only. You, also, are not to move. No rubbing against him, touching his chest or neck. Nothing. I want your hands to stay on his shoulders at all times.” Vex’s gaze settled on him. “I’m going to suck your cock, Trace. You move an inch and I’ll have you in a butt plug for the rest of the night.”

  Trace knew he wasn’t lying. And although a butt plug might not have been all too bad, he wasn’t in favor of it at the moment. Instead of dwelling on the possibilities of him moving, he looked at Melody. She sat focusing on his face. Trace couldn’t deny feeling some kind of power emanating from her. When Vex had summoned her demon at the beginning, he’d done something by drawing her out.

  “Mel,” he whispered.

  The blue-green of her eyes went dark with the sight of her demon. He glanced toward Vex. His master had better know what the hell he was doing.

  “I’m going to kiss you, Trace. But first I want to see something.”

  Fingers gripped in her hair as Vex pulled her head back. “I can feel you delving into something you’re not supposed to. Some hidden power. What is it, Melody? Show me.”

  Her breathing increased. She leaned back into Vex’s chest, moving her pussy against Trace’s stomach. A moan came from his mouth at the wetness he could feel.

  “I don’t know what it is or what it does. I’m compelled by some unknown....” A cry came from her mouth as her body pushed against his harder. Vex reached around and rubbed her clit. He looked at Trace, and he knew his master was suddenly aware of what he had picked up on. Something with her wasn’t right.

  The ropes were suddenly gone from Trace’s body. Vex didn’t have to say anything for him to know that he needed to protect himself just in case Melody did something accidental with her powers.

  “Show me, doll. What do you want to do to him?”

  Trace glared at him. Why did he have to be the damn guinea pig?

  Melody’s fingers pressed into his chest and Trace braced himself for what was going to come. The pulsing of his heart began covering every inch of his body. Along with it, a profound amount of ecstasy began building in his core. Melody cried out as Vex moved his fingers faster over her clit. Damn his master for wanting her to lose control and hit him with everything she had.

  “More, Melody. Let me feel your energy.”

  Her black eyes snapped to Vex. “You want to feel it so bad.” In a flash her hand pushed against his chest. Their master fell to his knees. A moan poured from his mouth, loudly, and he dug his grip into Trace’s pressure point above his knees. The pleasure of her power along with Vex’s pain almost made him cum on the spot.

  “Fucking unbelievable. More!” Vex’s suit vanished from his body with a swipe of his hand. “I can feel you holding it in. Let go, Melody.”

  A panicked expression passed her features. “I will not,” she said, out of breath. The blackness receded and she shook her head. “I do not embrace my dark side. If you want to continue, I will not be tempted. Never pull her out again, Vex. Never. I come to you both willingly. My demon stays out of it.”

  Vex pressed his lips together. “As you wish.” He tilted his head at her while he looked up. “But aren’t you just a little tempted to see what it is you harbor?”

  Her head shook, fast. “I’m too scared to. The darkness is such an unbelievable feeling. I will not let it take over. If that means not finding out about my powers, so be it.”

  A groan came from Vex’s mouth. “Fine. As we were, then––no moving, focus on your mate.”

  Trace could tell his master was upset, but he was absolutely fine without having to know. The truth somewhat scared him. Melody was a mix between good and evil. So what kind of creature did that make her?

  Pressure grasped the base of his cock and he moaned as Vex’s tongue traced over his tip. There was still something behind her gaze, as she looked deep into Trace’s eyes. Suddenly, everything in him wanted to reach in and yank the pull he felt. Was it the demon in him, or something more? Trace blinked hard and jerked his head to the side. Her hands brought him back to face her. Melody lowered her lips to his and he closed his eyes for fear of feeling the link again.

  ***

  Melody held perfectly still even though her pussy ached to rub against Trace. She wanted him so much that it was driving her crazy. The darkness within swirled, tempting her. Som
ething wanted out, and she had no idea what it was.

  Vex’s hands gripped her ass and she moaned as his tongue traced over her back opening. Her mouth instantly found Trace’s. The need to move against him was automatic, but with his hands holding her still, it was impossible.

  His tongue disappeared and she could feel him moving his mouth up and down her mate’s thick length. Trace’s tongue massaged against hers and she dug her nails into his shoulders. Pressure rubbed against her opening and she rested her forehead into Trace’s, trying to catch her breath.

  “I want to fuck your ass while Trace fucks your pussy. Let me call your demon, again, Mel. You can take it if she’s in control.”

  Just the thought of both of her men pushing deep inside of her was the ultimate temptation. Not to mention that she was dying to have control to be able to move again. The tightening in her core was growing with each thrust from the tip of Vex’s finger.

  “Mel, just one more. I won’t call her again unless I ask first. You have complete control.”

  His hand urged her forward and his other fingers eased deep into her pussy. Melody was nodding her head before she could think.

  “Trace, you do it. You’re powerful enough now. Pull out her demon.”

  Melody looked into his eyes and she knew there was something deep within her that was making him nervous. His stare began to glow and the tug on her insides was automatic. She felt her gaze grow big at just how powerful he was. He was almost every bit the master Vex was, he’d just done a hell of a job hiding it.

  A tint covered her vision and she knew the demon had surfaced. Trace looked away the moment the darkness surged though her.

  “Done.”

  “Good job.” Vex rubbed lube over the opening of her pussy and ass. A deep moan poured from her mouth. Stinging erupted on her ass at the slap of Vex’s hand. “Lift a little, doll.”

  Melody thrived against the pain. She leaned forward against Trace and Vex’s fingers slid deep, only to immediately withdraw.

  “You’re so fucking ready for us,” Vex said, molding himself against her back.

  Trace’s cock slid inside of her, and she kissed him as he inched his way inside. The thickness against the opening of her ass made her tense. She’d never done anal before, and she wasn’t sure what to expect.

  “Relax, Melody.” Vex rubbed his cheek against hers. The order had her whole body reacting to his command. Her head settled in Trace’s neck and she sucked his skin lightly into her mouth. He pushed deeper into her pussy, just as Vex eased a good two inches into her ass. “Good girl.” Her master leaned forward and kissed Trace. His movement had him sliding even deeper. The friction between both of their cocks going into her at different rhythms was an overwhelming ecstasy she’d never known before. Now she almost knew how Trace felt as he fucked her and Vex fucked him.

  A cry came from her mouth as Vex withdrew and entered her fully. The orgasm that shook her body was automatic and hit her hard.

  “That’s right, doll. Cum all over Trace’s cock. I’m going to suck all your sweet juices from it once we’re finished. And you know what? You’re going to help me.” Vex pushed into her faster and Trace immediately pulled her mouth to his.

  His eyes didn’t break from hers the whole time he kissed her. He held her locked with his stare, and she was surprised given how he didn’t want to keep contact, before.

  At the intimacy, something began to swirl in Melody’s chest. It was that part that she’d been repressing. The more she felt love for the two men giving her pleasure, the more it grew. Fear started to take over, but the sensations from Vex and Trace were throwing her off, making it impossible to rein the feeling back in.

  “Keep looking at me,” Trace whispered. “Don’t you dare let your mind take you over…I want you in this moment every second.” His hand gripped into her hip and she continued to move slowly.

  Vex kept a steady pace while Trace let her go at her own speed. They both were so thick inside of her. Need was triggered at their swelling. She continued to stare into Trace’s eyes, feeling the hammering pound against her chest. What was going to happen? She could feel the power building into a burning inferno.

  Vex increased his speed and he was suddenly pounding against her. Melody screamed against the orgasm that was right on the brink of exploding. Trace held under her arm and lifted her. His cock joined Vex in the hard thrusts. Just as spasms took them over, the fire shot through her body. An explosion of energy spanned out to cover her mates like a clear bubble. She couldn’t see it, but she could feel them in the invisible space.

  Like the pop of a balloon, the rubber band effect snapped their energy into her body with such force that it froze up her lungs. Melody gasped for air, and noticed their bodies were just finishing, cumming. They looked perfectly normal, given the fact that sweat was covering their bodies and they were breathing hard.

  Whatever had just happened, they weren’t even aware of it. Should she say anything?

  Vex withdrew from her ass and picked up her body, cradling it. As he took her into the restroom, she went over her options. Nothing seemed different. Everyone was fine. For now, she’d be quiet. But that could never happen again. Ever.

  Chapter Eleven

  “Do you know how much territory Vex covers?” Leon looked over the vast landscape stretched out before them. The fields were long harvested. Brown stretched for as far as the eye could see. Against the bleak land stood amazing shades of pink and orange from the setting sun. The sight sucked him in and Harvey’s words were barely heard.

  “It’s only been a week. We will find them.”

  “Yeah,” Leon mumbled.

  He couldn’t get Melody out of his head. Where was she? Were she and her mates having the fucking time of their lives while he was out here trying to hunt her down? And he would. Make no mistake about that. It would just take time. But each day he could feel himself getting angrier.

  He was tired of all this trying to be pure and not getting anything out of it. What he wanted was Melody. She made him good. At least he could get pleasure from that. But what he needed was Vex and Trace out of the picture. If they joined up with Helix, it was going to be that much harder for him to get to Melody, not to mention the worry his people would have to go through.

  And it wouldn’t be just them as any every day enemy. It’d be one that had powers capable of taking out a hell of a lot of his people if the time ever came.

  “There’s a town up ahead. Let’s stop and get a room. It’s been a long day.” Harvey took a drink of his soda. The action pulled Leon from his thoughts.

  “Where are we, anyway?”

  “Gonzales. We’ve basically made a big loop. I figured they’d go south. That’s why we headed down to Laredo this morning.” Harvey shook his head. “But once we were there I knew they had to be more north. Now that we’re about two hours to the territorial line, I say we rest here tonight and we’ll pick up tomorrow.”

  Leon yawned. They’d been driving since before sunrise. Now that it was sunset, he was ready to crash. The moment his stomach was full, he was going to fall asleep hard, and hopefully dream of Melody again.

  The small town came into view. There was nothing more than a convenience store on the corner, but as Harvey took a right, he saw more of the town come into view. As he pulled into the first decent motel they crossed, he groaned and ran inside. Leon peered to the back of the SUV at the sleeping immortals traveling with them. If he could have slept in a car, he would have jumped at the opportunity. Unfortunately, sleep and the vibrations of the road didn’t sit well with him.

  Leon opened the door and stepped out to stretch his legs. The tight muscles ached with every step he took. Lights from the surrounding businesses were glowing in the distance and he took in the sight. He’d never been up this way before. It looked like a somewhat nice little town from what he could see. Maybe he and Melody could stay here for a while. He mindlessly shook his head. It wasn’t anywhere near far enough.
/>   A car pulled in across the street and he glanced at it before returning to his search for food places they might be able to walk to. Something itched at the back of his mind and Leon turned back to the dark Cadillac sedan. The back windows appeared completely blacked out from his view, but the passenger window was rolled down.

  He crouched and met the face of a man he’d only seen once, in Melody’s picture. And although at least a decade had passed, the man looked every bit as young then as he did now. The glare Helix was giving him made the hair on his arms stand on end. The raw power the eternal had could easily be felt all the way across the road, and for any being, that was just downright amazing. He almost felt like he was looking into the devil’s face, himself.

  A smile slowly came to the man’s lips.

  “What in the blue blazes are you doing?” Harvey’s voice made him jump. He turned to look at the immortal. His finger pointed in the direction of their biggest enemy, but by the time he looked back, Helix was gone.

  Leon couldn’t bring his mouth to close. “I…ah.” He swallowed hard. “I.”

  “Spit it out!” Harvey walked around to stand in his path. Leon looked around him to the empty spot where the Cadillac had been parked.

  “Helix. I saw him. He was right fucking there.”

  “Hey, now. Watch your mouth.”

  Leon looked at him, incredulous. “Did you not hear me? I said Helix was just sitting there across the road in a black car. He looked right at me and smiled. Smiled!” Leon’s whole body was shaking. “We’re in over our heads. He knows we’re up to something. I could feel him threatening us to leave, all the way from over here.”

  Harvey looked across the street. “He is the reason we can’t leave.” The key card was slapped into Leon’s hand. “You’re in Room 207 with me.”

  Leon extended his hand. “Nope, I’m out of here. I’ll keep helping you look for her, but there’s no way I’m spending the night in this town.” If he did stay he’d never find his woman.
