Chapter 19

Chapter Nineteen

Dragging my hands down her neck, I caressed the bite mark. Watching the way that it made her shiver, “She will, she’s a good girl.”

Her shoulders shook with the slightest of tremors at my words. But she didn’t say anything. Instead, she moved to stand, her face slipping into a mask of calmness as she became resigned to her fate. I tucked myself back into my slacks, fastening the zipper. Watching her back straighten, she turned away from me, making her way to my brother. I couldn’t help the way my eyes lingered on the backs of her thighs. The skin was marked with bruises from the night before. 

She stopped in front of Bash and he looked up at her, hunger in his eyes. His movements were quick, and I heard her gasp as he pulled her down into his lap. She brought her hands up, bracing herself against his chest to keep from falling into him. His hand came up to the back of her neck, and he pulled her close. 

“Kitten, you smell so good.” His voice was thick, thumb moving across the side of her neck where she would one day bear his claim as the second oldest.

“Bash.” 

He brought his hand up to the front of her dress, tugging it below her breasts. Cass started to bring her arms up, but my brother knocked them out of his way. “Do that again and I’ll have to punish you.”

She stiffened at his words. Did it make her think of what I’d done to her last night?

My little bird dropped her arms to her sides. Bash moved his hand up her waist until he reached her breast. His thumb moved over her areola. Her nipples hardened, and she sucked in a breath. Holding it as he moved his hand from the back of her neck to do the same thing to her other breast before rolling the hard buds between his thumb and forefinger. She let out a breathy sound, her hips rocking against Bash. His lips slid into a slow smile before he dragged a hand to her back. Placing it in between her shoulder blades. Forcing her closer, he teased his tongue around her nipple before sucking it into his mouth.

Her arousal grew thicker in the room, along with Bash’s, and I licked my lips. Watching them had my cock stirring. I wanted her again. She arched her back as Bash’s fingers plucked at her other nipple, her hips moving forward as he thrust himself against her. The tingling started in my balls. It shot up my spine so fast that it made me bite back a moan.

My little bird was so turned on right now. It was like my body was trying to catch up to her. Standing, I walked over to them. My brother bit down on her breast and she cried out.

Tangling my hand in her hair as I pressed my open mouth against her’s, swallowing the sounds she was making as she came. I’d deal with that later. Right now, I had other things on my mind as my tongue moved against hers. Letting her know that she was still mine. Her eyes were closed as we kissed, but I could feel the confusion flowing through me hard from her.

I hadn’t been ready for Bash to claim her, and I was trying to keep my anger in check. She let out a shaking moan, her hand moving to my tie to hold me in place. I gripped her hair tighter, my other hand coming up to wrap around her throat. Her pulse fluttered and Bash cried out, finding his release. 

Kissing the corner of her lips, I looked at Bash as he let her breast slip from his mouth. His eyes not moving from the bite mark. 

“Lucian, I’m-“ He said, his eyes growing wide as he realized what he had done. 

“I know, she’s tempting.”

His eyes met mine. “I’m so-“

I glared at him, stroking my thumb across her cheek as she leaned against my chest, trying to catch her breath. “Not without my permission. You won’t fuck her without my permission. Am I understood?”

“Yes, Lucian.” He paled, and I could understand. Not being able to fuck your mate would be a struggle for him. I was about to make it harder for him. 

“I want you to take her shopping. She needs more than things to wear to bed.”

He gulped before nodding, looking back at Cass. Bash pulled the dress back into place. She opened her eyes, looking between the two of us. Her lips pressed into a thin line. She didn’t need to tell me she was angry. I could feel it burning through her and I knew that Bash could too, now. 

I had wanted more time for her to just be mine, but I wasn’t as angry as I’d thought I would be. My dragon wasn’t as angry. It felt like one of the pieces falling into place. I knew that when Oliver and William claimed her, everything would feel as it was supposed to. 

Stroking my thumb down along her collarbone, I gave in looking at my, no not just mine anymore. Our mate. Her tongue swiped over her lower lip and she sucked in a breath, feeling the heat of my desire moving along her skin. “You’ll go shopping with Bash. I want you to know that if you think you can get away. We will find you and I’ll tie you to my bed and spank you until you beg me. Then I’m going to fuck you until you can’t walk. Am I clear?”

“Crystal.” She said, breathing out the word. I couldn’t help but smile at the way her face flushed at the threat of punishment. It wasn’t an idle threat, and part of me hoped that she’d try to escape just so I could wear her ass out. 

“Be a good girl.” 

Her jaw clenched and she nodded. I was going to have fun taming my little bird.
