Blackout

Conner’s POV

I didn't really want to go to dinner, but I couldn't abandon my brothers and get away with it. Plus, Heidi would have followed me. It reminds me of a quote from Pride And Prejudice. Yes, I knew that Avery picked this book as the basis of our play. However, I do feel like Mr. Darcy right now. In the book, he glanced at Elizabeth and said, “She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me, and I am in no humor at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men.” All of these women who are clamoring for my brothers and my attention have been slighted by other guys. They bounce from cock to cock. From now on, my mate will be the only one bouncing on my cock. 

I am not going to fuck Heidi again. Did I get off? Yes, but something was missing and that was my mate. Caleb hums inside of my head. He only does that when he is content and I am thankful for it, because it tickles. I hate being ticklish almost as much as I hate not being born first. I look over at my brothers as we are walking to our cars. They don't look thrilled to be going either. Are they feeling the need for a mate too? I know that Cassius thinks that our parents were soft, but I would love to talk to them right now. 

“Just follow us,” Jessica says as she motions for Cassius to open her door. I see Asher’s red eyes as Cassius looks in my direction and Asher looks pissed. 

I wonder if his dragon is as restless as mine. Caleb has been more agitated since our parents were killed. I had originally thought that it was because they died, but what if it was something else? “If I knew and could tell you, I would,” Caleb huffs. 

Heidi reaches over to touch my knee and I nearly recoil. “Why so jumpy?” she asks.

“I am just thinking about my ceremony next week,” I lied. Had I thought about it? Yes, but not in the way that she is likely to assume.

As she slides her hand up my thigh, she says, “Me, too. I can't wait for you to claim me.”

“Me, too.” Now that's a bold-faced lie. Everything within me and Caleb now knows that she isn't our mate and I won't be claiming her as a temporary one either. I just wish that we knew who it was, because the wait is slowly killing us. 

Clint’s POV

Last period was stranger than I thought it was going to be. Carter kept looking over at Avery’s seat and sighing. He refused to speak to me, too. If he expected me to do something this morning, then he should have told me, or better yet, done it himself. Yes, our dragons aren't supposed to emerge in school, but they can still act through us. 

I am still weirded out that I saw Avery’s face as I was fucking Lenore in the ass. Something is definitely up with our dragons, too. Asher seems extra pissed today and Caleb is incredibly withdrawn, just like Carter. Yes, things have been off since our parents were murdered, but this defies logic. Carter has never ignored me before. 

We arrived at Blackout. I was thankful Lenore didn't speak to me on the drive over. Maybe she did, though, and I ignored her, because I was lost in thought. It doesn't matter to me, because there are still a few other chicks that can keep me busy until graduation. Then I can move and find a whole host of other pussy. My brothers can pursue their mates, but I will do the opposite. 

Dragons have excellent night vision, but this restaurant uses magic to counter that. The hostess gives us each a magically infused amulet. As long as we wear it, we won't be able to see. I have taken dates here before. I would slip my amulet off while my date kept hers on. Then I would tease her until she begged me to fuck her, or I would take her next door to one of the private rooms. 

The hostess led us to our seats, and then we placed our orders. All of the ladies sit extra close to us before putting on their amulets. I look over at my brothers who are hesitating a bit. Their eyes are slightly glazed over, so I know that they are in a discussion with their dragons. Carter is still ignoring me, so I put my amulet on. When one of your senses is taken away, the others heighten. While wearing this amulet, noises become crisper and you notice smells that you had not before.

I lean toward Lenore and notice two different scents from hers. Then I lean toward each of the other girls and notice the same scents. “They have been around the same people,” Carter says. I thought the same, but at least he is talking to me now. I wonder who? Too bad we can't steal one of these amulets. I am going to need to find a young witch and seduce her into making me one. 

Throughout dinner, Lenore kept touching me. Then I felt two feet under the table toying with my cock. I take off my amulet. The ladies still have theirs on but my brothers don't. They are not stopping their girls either. I look at Conner and he mouths ‘Not my problem’ while Cassius shrugs. I roll my eyes, but I don’t put the amulet back on. If they are done with girls until their mates are revealed, that just means more pussy for me. 

Once dinner was over, we all walked next door. As I was arranging for a few private rooms, Conner said, “I do not think that my meal is agreeing with me. Can one of you see that Heidi gets home safely?”

I look at Cassius but he nods to me. “Fine, I will do it. If you need something, Conner, just text me.”

Before he leaves, he kisses Heidi on the cheek. I guess I will get a threesome early.
