Chapter 24

HAEL

The instant Adara turns her back on us, I know we are in deep trouble—really deep. I’ve never been in such a tight spot before, especially not at the mercy of a petite mortal woman I enjoy being intimate with. A mortal woman I take pleasure in controlling, belittling, and degrading for my own satisfaction ~and hers~.

This isn’t how things are supposed to go! Not even in my wildest fantasies could I have imagined this! But Adara—that ~stubborn little sister of mine~—she is a force to be reckoned with.

I’ll never underestimate her again. I wish I could give her a piece of my mind right now, but I can’t. My magic is suppressed.

Fire, telepathy, voice projection—it’s all gone. I’m just a man now. I am so damn embarrassed—and the brush of my hand against my brother’s reminds me he is right there with me, enduring the same humiliation.

This is a Twin Dragons’ worst nightmare. We are supposed to be at the top of the food chain. This is a disgrace.

Madeline gives her little speech and the fact that she even tries to reconcile us makes me feel even worse—even if a part of me appreciates her effort. She is sweet, considering the situation she has us in, but she is playing with fire and she doesn’t even know it.

Madeline has us stripped bare—and now she is standing before us, disrobing. My branded slave, my stubborn little spitfire… she is radiant even now.

I want to keep my desire for revenge alive, but the sight of her, so breathtakingly beautiful, makes it flicker and die. This dangerous woman of ours. She could harm us.

She could end us. She could humiliate us and parade us in front of slaves… but she wants us. If that’s not true submission, I don’t know what is.

All her hard-earned practice at submission is her teaching herself to trust not just us, but her own instincts as a mate. I know we are monsters compared to her. Beasts in her world.

But she sees how much we adore her and now I’m wondering just how much my own heart can take. It feels like it might burst with the love I have for this seductive little mouse… and it’s not the only thing swelling now… my arousal is palpable.

Lochness is already aroused but now I’m equally as hard as Madeline cautiously approaches. She steps over my hips, squats down and touches my face, showing me she’s just taking her moment… and damn, maybe she deserves it.

How interesting… there’s not a hint of defiance in her expression as she finally straddles me and takes me inside her, letting her hair loose from the braid as she starts to move… no torture after all – she’s just losing herself in the moment… The way she moves – ~damn this temptress~.

I’d give Madeline everything, if only she could understand the depth of my feelings—my entire soul is yearning to be close to hers. ~Damn her.~ Even Lochness can’t look away… it’s like a spell she’s casting on both of us.

How is she so perfect? I shift my hips just a bit so she can feel even better about the position, as I feel her pussy squeezing my throbbing cock. This is the best fuck we’ve had.

I only hold back because I want to see her continue to lose herself in the pleasure. I have been so tense, now as I relax – my fingers find the looped rope in the iron ring above me. The rope around my wrist is painfully tight, Adara didn’t want us turning the tables.

But she is never good at tying knots. One pull with my finger and Madeline’s done for…

Her eyes open, and I feel her pussy choke my dick as she rides herself through a tight as fuck orgasm.

There’s no will in the realms that can stop me holding back now – I feel myself releasing into her pussy as she milks my shaft, emptying my balls with one powerful squeeze after another. It’s an out of body experience, my hips bucking up into her as I move my head back, trying to breathe hard through my nose.

I come back down to reality far too quickly. Her lips kiss my neck and my pulse quickens as Madeline collapses against my much larger body, breathing heavily and hugging me. Her arms wrap around me and she holds me tight.

So, damn, adorable. ~Adorable little mouse. ~Damn~.~ I glare down at Madeline as she timidly looks up, cheeks flushed, lower lip bleeding because she bit down too hard when she climaxed. She looks apologetic for me, reaching for the rope gagging me… but she shakes her head and stops before she tries to loosen them.

“No. N-not yet, I c-can’t just yet,” Madeline whispers to herself, glancing at Lochness. She stands from me, moving away to catch her breath and gather her strength.

Lochness and I exchange a look. I raise an eyebrow towards my tied wrist. He looks up at the weak knot, sees my finger twirling through the middle that wasn’t fastened.

Lochness and I quickly turn back to see Madeline facing us and also staring at the loop. There’s no worry in her eyes just yet. She dismisses it and moves towards Lochness.

I hope the naive mouse turns around. My wish is granted when she straddles Lochness, presenting her back to him, looking over her shoulder, looking between us.

“A reward,” she whispers, her voice husky. “You can both watch now.” Lochness is already twitching from the way she rides him hard – her movements have us both forgetting my previous plan.

Plus the look I receive from my brother warns me not to interrupt too soon. So I endure. Just a moment more.

~Madeline’s POV~

I have to ride Lochness longer to reach another climax after the intensity of the last. I enjoy it too, how I like – squeezing and wriggling at the base of his dick a few times to bring myself higher up.

Then I find myself slowly leaning back upright, then right back against Lochness’s chest, riding him while I tilt my head back and stare up into his dark green eyes, accidentally hurting myself as I bite my broken lip. I wince again and suck on the wound instead, reaching up and pressing my hands to his arms behind me, feeling over his muscles and then his hair and the sides of his face, just feeling him all over as I ride him so fast and hard, I’m moaning to match the excruciating pleasure I create.

Lochness matches my rhythm as much as he can. While my whole body suddenly screams out with the explosive climax, I grip and pull at his hair – hard. He growls as I ride it out. But I eventually collapse forward, still squeezing as he thrusts into me with his bucking hips, his arousal throbbing as he releases even more inside me.

The sensation of it trickling down my thighs is almost intoxicating. The scent of our shared desire fills the air.

My vision blurs, speckled with black dots. Great, I think, passing out from overexertion is the last thing I need right now.

I’ve lost control, given into the switch. But I need to pull myself together.

My hormones are wreaking havoc, making me teary and emotional. I crawl forward, gasping for breath, reaching for the table to pull myself up.

My legs feel like jelly, but I manage to stand. I’m still… ~still~ catching my breath, trying to regain feeling in my legs. My knees shake as I turn to face my mates, gripping the table behind me for support.

Wait— What’s happening?

Hael’s arm. It’s free, moving in a circular motion.

He’s removing the rope from his mouth, the rope that left marks on his cheeks. I feel like I’m in a dream spiraling into a nightmare as he pulls the rope off his brother’s head.

“You’re going to be punished for eternity, mouse,” Hael’s voice is a low, menacing whisper. I’ve never heard him this fucking passionate before. His ego is bruised, and I’m the one who’s going to pay the price.

I spin around and sprint towards the vault door, unlocking it with the key. I slip through, hearing Lochness’s good-natured laughter echoing behind me.

They don’t even call out to me. ~I’m sorry, I’m sorry! But I loved it,~ I mentally communicate to them both, trying to do damage control—what the hell do I do now!

~Why run? Come back, good mouse,~ Lochness’s voice whispers in my mind, sounding far too cunning for me to trust his feigned affection. Hael clears his throat, even in my mind, making more suspicious statements. ~Indeed, mouse… return. Fear not. Madeline.~

Like hell. I saw the look in his eye.

~You say I’ll be punished for eternity, you just want to trick me back~ ~sooner,~ I mentally respond, panic seeping into my thoughts. They don’t respond, but I know they’re coming for me any minute.

I need to run and hide in the mountain before they unlock the shackles. I left the damn key on the table.

I know some hiding places. Small rock crevices and tunnels and such.

But I don’t know if I’m fast enough. We’ll find out.
