Chapter 105: Scales 18
She woke to the sound of scales hissing on silk and the feeling of Damien’s breath, humid and possessive, working up the back of her neck.
The healing spell had sapped her: bones ached in her marrow, eyelids sandpapered, and yet Felicity had never felt more awake energy thrumd between them, a coiled wire gone live. She blinked away the crystalline motes of her private space, the moonlit gardens and the endless sky, but all of it blurred against the heat of Damien wrapped around her, every coil a promise of containnt.
His tongue slid along the shell of her ear, forked and burning, and she shivered, overco by so ancient prey instinct, half terror, half worship. She tried to speak, to ask how he’d even gotten through her space’s wards, but he pressed a hand over her mouth, pinning her to the mossy ground. "Don’t even think about it, pet," he hissed, the ’t’ spitting out like a venomous click. "You almost died. You want to waste your first words whining?"
She swallowed, throat barely moving under his palm. He licked his lips, gaze raking her body with an animal’s hunger. "You healed yourself," he said, voice dark and rough, "but you fixed the bite mark." He bared his teeth, pupils narrowing to slits. "Soone else put their scent on you." His claws flexed at his sides, voice dropping to a dangerous rumble. "Do you have any idea how long it took
to make my mark stick? And now it’s gone."
The fennec tail at her hip trembled, and she winced, the mory of Sarge’s fangs reopening like a scab. She’d sealed it shut, erased the bruise and punctures, as if reverting ti. For a second, she regretted it. Damien planted a fresh bite at her collarbone, harder, almost spiteful. Blood beaded instantly. "There," he breathed. "Now you’re mine. Not his. I’ll cover you until you stink of ."
She writhed beneath him, pulse jackhamring, and his tail slithered between her thighs. He dragged it up and down, slow, savoring her squirming, then spread her knees apart with the uncaring authority of a predator. "I don’t care if it hurts," he murmured. "I want you to rember exactly whoownsyou, Felicity. You’ll thank
for it."
He pressed a hand to her throat, not choking, just holding her in place as he moved lower, tongue and sharp teeth blazing a path down her chest, her stomach, the inside of her thigh. Every nerve in her body blazed. When he reached her, he didn’t ease in not once, not ever. His tongue split inside her, tasting, sampling, and she moaned, helpless against the invasion, the sick thrill of being claid.
"Good girl," he said, mouth slick, "You’re so much sweeter when you’re obedient." He bit again, just above her navel, and she arched into him, the pain blooming into pleasure, her body betraying her. His tail curled around her hips, holding her still, and with one brutal motion he entered her, both cocks at once, stretching her so full she cried out.
He leaned in, his face inches from hers, eyes snared in a feverish hunger. "Louder," he demanded, and she keened for him, the sound echoing in the glassy void of her constructed world. "You think Sarge can make youscream? He’s nothing. He’s a dog. You’re not a mutt’s bitch, you’re mine. You’ll make my hatchlings, you’ll moan my na when the others have to listen to us."
He thrust, and the world fractured. Colors exploded behind her eyelids, pain and pleasure blurring into an infinite, elental tide. He kept talking, filthy, venomous, and it only made her wetter, more desperate, her nails gouging his scales, leaving crescent marks that healed and reopened under his friction.
He didn’t slow. Every ti she bucked, he pinned her harder, tail acting as a second limb, binding her wrists above her head. "No hiding from now," he whispered, then bit her again, right at the juncture of neck and shoulder, the sa place Rhino had scarred her. "You want to save everyone, Fel, but you can’t even save yourself from . You’ll never get away. You’re not allowed to."
Her body gave in, the orgasm tearing through her so violently she thought she might black out, but he kept going. She scread his na as she ca, sobbing, and he licked her face, tasting the salt, laughing. "Oh, that’s it. That’s what I like. You crying, but only for . Don’t ever forget it."
He finished inside her, shuddering, then held her close, arms and tail and tongue wrapped around her until she could barely breathe, let alone think. "Tomorrow," he said, voice muffled against her hair, "I’ll fuck you in front of the whole team. I want them to know you’re off limits. But tonight..." He kissed her temple, surprisingly gentle. "Tonight, you’re only mine."
He pulled out, slow and unkind, letting her feel every jagged ridge, every aftershock, leaving her raw and empty and still thrumming. The minute his weight eased off, she started to curl up, but he flipped her instead face down, tail up, her ass in the air, every inch of her on display. He groped at her hips, taloned hands digging crescents into her softest parts, and then, with feral deliberation, he pressed one cock to her lips she swallowed his length greedily, her mouth slick with need, tongue working the underside, tracing along the seam where his shaft split, tasting herself on him. She lapped at his balls, his slit, moaning with her mouth full, the vibration making him snarl with pleasure. He let her nurse on him, gagging and choking, drool pooling down her chin, then yanked her head back by the hair, fucking her throat while the other cock pistoned into her other hand.
"Pretty, pretty little fox," he crooned, voice warping between tender and vicious. "Gonna empty
out? Gonna drink it all?" He didn’t wait for an answer, just thrust deeper, filling her until tears stread from her eyes, and still he didn’t let up. She clawed at the moss, hips jerking, desperate for friction and found his tail winding between her legs, thick and muscular, worming into her pussy hole, stretching her wide.
She scread, the sound muffled and raw, and he hissed, tail thrusting in ti with his cocks, battering every sweet spot until she was incoherent. He wanted her ruined he wanted to see her break and refire in his hands, to wear his marks inside and out. She ca again, body convulsing, and he exploded down her throat, the taste bitter and burning, but she didn’t stop, didn’t dare. She kept sucking, swallowing, greedy as any beast, and he let her, hand stroking her hair, claws scraping her scalp in a rhythm almost gentle.
"That’s my good girl," he whispered, and she lted, shuddering. Her pussy was a ss his seed leaked out in thick ropes, slicking her thighs, the moss. His tail filled her pussy, pumping her full, and she sobbed, overwheld, but the noise only made him stiffer, harder, hungry for another round.
He bent over her, nuzzling her ear, his voice soft as a grave. "I don’t care about the others," he said. "I know you needthem too. Victor, Voss... the whole fucking pack. I’ll let them have their share. But Sarge? He hurt you. He’s not your mate." He bit her again, this ti careful, just enough to set her nerves alight. "He’ll never be ready. He’ll never be ."
She whimpered, mouth still full, and he shivered at the sound. He started to fuck her again, slower this ti, each thrust a declaration, a threat, a promise. The world outside ruins, war, the creeping dread of extinction collapsed beneath the weight of his possessive body, the darkness closing over them soft and total.
She drank him down, let him use her, let his magic flood her until she could feel it lighting up every cell, erasing the mory of pain with the permanence of pleasure.
When he finally slowed, the hush was absolute. He pulled her into his chest, wrapping her in coils and heat, and she could feel his heart beating in ti with hers, wild and arrhythmic.
He nuzzled her neck, voice gone low and guttural. "Sleep, little one. You’re safe. I’ll kill anything that cos near you tonight." As her vision faded, she understood: she’d never escape him, not in this world or any other.
She didn’t want to.
———-
Damien and Felicity disappeared from the bundle of blankets in the nest soti after sleep had taken them.
No one saw them go.
One mont she had been there, folded into warmth, breathing slow and even beneath the layered weight of bodies and fabric. The next, the space she had occupied was empty, her scent trailing faintly where Damien’s had overlapped it.
Victor noticed first.
Ivan noticed second.
Voss said nothing at all, but his ears flicked once in acknowledgnt.
They understood.
Damien needed ti alone with her understanding did not make it easier.
Jealousy moved through the three of them like sothing alive. It was not sharp enough to fracture the bond between them, but it coiled quietly under the surface, tightening with every passing minute she was gone.
Still, none of them followed.
Damien had claid the mont. That was enough.
They would have theirs later.
When she returned, when her eyes were soft with exhaustion and trust, they would gather her back into their arms where she belonged. They would remind her where she was safest. They would make it known in a way that needed no explanation.
And they would not be quiet for the team.
Not for the walls and certainly not for Sarge.
Sarge, who had shielded her when it mattered and still left marks where he shouldn’t have.
Sarge, who watched from a distance now, caught between proximity and exclusion.
They did not need to speak the thought aloud.
He would hear.
He would know.
He would understand exactly how close he was allowed to stand.
And how far he would always be kept from touching.
