Daughter of Hades: A Reverse Harem Romance (Cerberus Book 2) Page 8

  I tried to shake the lust from my mind and focus on the problems at hand. “I found the shop I saw in my dream,” I said quietly.

  “No shop talk in the hot tub,” Knox said.

  “But—”

  He held up his hand. “Tonight, we are relaxing. Everything will still be there in the morning. After we leave the tub, we are ordering pizza and cuddling while we watch a movie.”

  How the hell was I supposed to say no to that? “Fine, but in the morning, I have stuff to show you.”

  “I was hoping to see some of you tonight,” Nolan said with an exaggerated wink.

  “Wow, is that the best you can do?” I chuckled for a moment before I said something that had been weighing on my mind for a while. “If we all want to do this, then we are going to have to come up with a schedule or something to keep it fair, or start doubling up.”

  “I’m open to whatever,” Emmett said, which surprised me. I knew he and Knox were close and that time the three of us were together was mind-blowing, but I hadn’t been sure how he felt about the new additions until now.

  “Me, too,” Knox and Nolan both added, which just left Cass.

  “I’ll take you any way I can get you, princess,” he said before nipping my ear.

  A shiver of anticipation ran down my spine, and he groaned when it reached my hips, which just made me wiggle my hips even more.

  “If you keep that up, I’ll have no choice but to retaliate.”

  “Oh, yeah?”

  “I’ll help him, too,” Knox said, the lust clear in his eyes as he watched Cass and I together.

  Now, that was a threat I took seriously. Knox already knew exactly how to push my buttons, and with the two of them together, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to handle it without drawing the attention of the family in the pool.

  “Fine. Truce?” I asked, turning around and looking Cass in the eye.

  Mischief glinted in them, and when he smiled, it was pure temptation. “Nah, I think I’d rather see how much I can make you squirm,” he said. His voice was barely more than a whisper, but somehow, he managed to make it resonate through his body.

  I pretend pouted. Part of me wanted to see exactly what he would do, while the other part was trying to gain the upper hand in the situation without being obvious.

  “What’s your favorite color, Poppy?” Knox asked from across the tub.

  The question seemed to come out of left field, and as I tore my eyes away from Cass, I looked at Knox with a frown.

  “I’m just curious.” He shrugged.

  “Um, probably a bright yellow. It makes me think of summer. What about you guys?” As I asked the question, I felt Cass’s hands slip over the top of my thighs and push them open a little more so I was straddling him rather than just sitting on his knees.

  I tried to ignore it as Knox told me about this purply-blue he’d seen once, and then Nolan extolled on the virtues of green, but Cass’s fingers were tracing lines up and down the inside of my thighs. Each pass brought them a little higher to the place I craved his touch the most. I tried to nod along, but I was getting more and more distracted. It didn’t help that I could see Knox watching, either. His eyes were glued to the space between my thighs. I knew he wouldn’t be able to see much from the churning water, but whatever he could see was enough.

  A part of me that I usually tried to ignore wanted to watch Knox stroke himself while he watched Cass play with me. I closed my eyes for a moment and pulled up the flame that I saw within myself. Knox’s purple bond glowed brightly, and I tried to send the image in my head through the bond to Knox.

  When I opened my eyes, his were wide and looking at me questioningly. I could feel the blush rise on my cheeks, and just at that moment, Cass’s fingers connected with my core, stroking up and down through the slinky black material. I gasped, and the father in the pool looked over, suspicion clouding his features.

  “I can’t believe that!” I exclaimed, trying to cover up what was happening. The guys all chuckled loudly as though they had caught on, and the father turned back to his child.

  Cass’s fingers never stopped their rhythmic stroking, and it was driving me batty. I definitely wanted some rhythmic stroking, but with one of their cocks, and preferably in our bed.

  “Easy there, Poppy, don’t want to draw unnecessary attention now, do we?” Nolan asked, waggling his eyebrows at me in a way that made me giggle.

  “Seriously?” I hissed as I got my giggle under control.

  Before I could mutter anything else at them, the fingers that had been steadily heightening the tension inside me slipped under my bikini bottoms. For a moment, Cass just cupped me, and then his finger slid inside me, and I wanted to groan and writhe against him as some of the need I had was relieved. When his hand withdrew and went to my clit, my desire became an inferno.

  My hand clamped down on his wrist, and even though he was making me feel all kinds of good, I pulled his hand away. “I’m going back upstairs,” I whispered, not trusting the sound of my voice. “Anyone who wants to join me is welcome,” I added, expecting Cass to get up but not all of them.

  As I climbed out of the tub, I gave them a bit of a show, bending over more than necessary and toweling off facing them so they could see my boobs jiggle as I dried off my back. Once I had slipped the robe around myself once again, I asked, “Am I going alone?”

  “We’ll join you in a minute,” Knox growled, clearly not pleased with my decision.

  Chapter Twelve

  Poppy

  I wasn’t pleased that they were leaving me alone, either, so I turned and left without another word. The elevator was empty as I rode up to our rooms. As I leaned my damp head back against the wall, all I could think about was how much I just wanted to be back in the hotel room.

  Big swirls of dark smoke shot up from the floor of the elevator, and before I could even scream, they were wrapped around me. The whole world was blacked out. It cleared as suddenly as it appeared, though, and I found myself in the hotel room I had lain down in earlier. I stood for a moment, just waiting to see if the smoke would come back. When it didn’t, I grabbed my bag and began to change into some leggings and a tank top.

  “Well, hello there, angel,” Knox’s voice said from right behind me.

  I about jumped out of my skin. As I spun around to ask him what the hell he was doing, I clenched the tank top to my chest and saw the other guys appear in the room with a puff of smoke, almost like a ninja, except the smoke was black like shadows.

  “How did you . . . ?” I trailed off, unable to even articulate what had just happened.

  “It’s like when we were in the car accident and you traveled to the space between realms. Darkness can be used to travel within realms as well, so long as you know where you’re going,” Emmett said next to me.

  It made complete sense. It was weird, but I definitely followed the logic, and I knew without question that the darkness was how I made it from the elevator to the room without taking so much as a step.

  “Now, would you care to explain why you are hiding those gorgeous breasts from me?” Knox asked as his hand came up and clenched in the tank top.

  “Knox!” I gasped as somehow his fingertips found a nipple even though I thought I had my hands over both of them.

  Before I even realized what was happening, Emmett was on the ground, kneeling next to us, his hands running up and down my left leg. He tugged my stance wider, and as his hands ran up my leg again, his fingertips brushed against my core. Between the two of them touching me, I couldn’t suppress my moan of need.

  More hands joined, and within a second, I was surrounded by all four guys. Emmett and Nolan worked together to peel my leggings from me while Knox ripped the tank from my hands and Cass feathered kisses up and down my neck. All I could do was hold on as they explored my body, and all different kinds of sensations washed over me.

  Without words, or at least none that I heard, the guys coordinated picking me up and carrying me to the nea
rest bed. When they set me down, Cass was between my legs and Knox was sitting off to the side. Nolan claimed my mouth with his own, and Emmett’s hands worked at my breasts like a master sculptor with clay. I felt as though I were being formed to their whims.

  I pulled away for just a moment and whispered Cass’s name. He was in front of me immediately, and Nolan and Emmett had moved away. “Are you okay with this?”

  “I want you, Poppy. If that means with these guys as well, then hell yeah, I’m okay with it.”

  “Oh good, because I want you inside me, please,” I breathed.

  “As you command, princess,” he groaned, and I felt the soft, velvety skin of his cock push against my own.

  I knew I was ready even before he did. I wanted them all so badly that I was almost constantly wet. As Cass pushed in inch by inch, I raised my hips, willing him to go faster. When he realized what I wanted, he thrust inside me with one hard stroke. I watched him as he began to move, sliding the long length of himself in and out of me in that same steady rhythm he’d been using in the hot tub.

  After a few moments, I felt other hands touching me tentatively, and I arched my back, pushing myself into them further. With permission given, Emmett began working my breasts again while Nolan kissed me senseless. Cass had backed up at this point, so we were only connected at the hips. Since I was on the edge of the bed, that meant he was standing, which made his thrusts even more powerful.

  My head rolled to the side as I looked for my missing man. Knox sat on the edge of the other bed, his swim shorts on the floor around his ankles and his cock gripped tightly in his hand. An image flashed in my mind of me surrounded by the other guys, writhing in pleasure. I knew instinctively that it was what Knox could see. As he started to work himself in time with Cass’s thrusts, I felt my own climax building. When Nolan’s hand drifted down my stomach to the part where Cass and I were joined, I thought for a moment he might try to take the other man’s place, but instead, he just started playing with the bundle of nerves that resided just above the joining.

  They all seemed to be working in unison, timing their strokes and kisses, even Emmett, when he sucked and flicked his tongue over my nipples. Everything worked together, bringing me closer and closer to that edge. Knox flashed me another image. My back was arched off the bed while Cass looked like a bronze god, sweat gleaming on his skin as the strain of holding himself back showed on his face. Nolan’s fingers were flat against my belly as they wove their magic with my clit, while Emmett’s head was bent to my breasts. I could feel how erotic Knox found the whole scene and how much he wanted to come, but he and Cass were both holding back. They were all waiting for me to find my pleasure first.

  That single thought, plus the image, and the sensation overload finally pushed me over the edge. My whole body clenched before pleasure exploded out of my core, racing through my veins and filling every cell of my body. I bucked and screamed and writhed while they worked me. I had just enough awareness to feel Cass’s rhythm falter, and I knew after two more thrusts that he had found his own release.

  “Keep going,” Knox said quietly, and Nolan and Emmett kept working their fingers and mouth over my body as though their lives depended on it. Wave after wave of pleasure burst through me, taking me beyond my first orgasm and into a second. The next thing I knew, I felt a cock pushing at my opening once more. Knox was there, his large, thick cock ready at my entrance. “I’m going to take you flying, angel,” he whispered before he thrust into me in one smooth motion.

  What I thought had been another orgasm was nothing compared to what I was experiencing with Knox. I could feel my body clenching around him as though I were trying to keep him in me. As he withdrew and thrust into me again, another explosion of sensation ran through me. My senses became raw as my body twitched and bucked under their ministrations. I’d never felt anything like it. I was floating, my body weightless, just a vessel for pleasure. Light spilled out of me, and I felt like the first warm day of spring. Everything was growing all around me; life returned from the desolation of winter.

  I hadn’t expected another spike of pleasure, but it came nonetheless. This was different. I was falling like a leaf in autumn. I knew I was safe. I knew I had done what I needed to, and now was my time to rest and enjoy myself.

  The floaty awareness and the sensation of falling all began to withdraw, and I found myself back in my body once more. I could feel Knox slowly thrusting in and out of me while Emmett and Nolan must have sat back, as their magical hands weren’t touching me anymore. My eyes fluttered open. The guys were all around me, looking like the cat who got the cream. I made eye contact with Knox and focused on the sensation of him moving inside me and tried to send it through our bond.

  A second later, his eyes widened and his whole body froze. “Fuck, if you do that again, angel, I don’t think I’ll be able to control myself.”

  I sent him another image of him fucking me while I sucked on Emmett and then Nolan.

  “Dammit, Poppy, are you trying to make me come?”

  I grinned. “Is that a yes, then?”

  “Whatever you want, you know that,” he growled, and thrust into me harder.

  My hands reached out toward Emmett and Nolan. They both moved closer, and when they were within reach, I ran my hands up and down their cocks. They were so different but so similar. I urged them closer still, and as I moved to put Nolan’s cock in my mouth, my hand pumped Emmett’s. They had all taken care of me and given me the most amazing orgasm of my life, literally, so I wasn’t about to leave them with blue balls.

  My tongue circled the ridge on Nolan’s cock before I swallowed as much of him as I could. After a few minutes of working on him, I switched to Emmett and used my hand on Nolan. They were both so lengthy, but Emmett was wider, and I knew I wouldn’t be able to work him as long. My jaw just wouldn’t be able to handle it, so I used my hand and mouth in conjunction.

  “Can I come on your breasts?” he breathed.

  I nodded, and within moments, he was pulling out of my mouth and spurting all over the jiggling mounds of my breasts. When Nolan did the same, I was surprised, but then I thought about Knox and how long he’d been working me. I wanted him to come inside me, to fill me with his seed.

  Once he was satisfied that the other two were done, he began thrusting harder and faster to the point that he would have been moving me back across the bed if he hadn’t been holding on to me. When his thumb found my clit, I flinched. “Too much,” I whispered. My bud of pleasure was too sensitive from the previous session to handle any more.

  “Kiss me,” he growled.

  His thrusts paused as I sat up, wrapping my arms around his neck and pulling his head to mine. I was careful not to mash my chest to his as I wanted to, since I was covered in come. My tongue twined with his, and as he moved inside me, I felt my whole body realign with his. He was deeper than ever before, and I loved every second of it. I groaned into his mouth, and it only made him thrust harder as he pinned me in place with his hands.

  It was only a moment later, as I felt his cock pushing against my cervix, that I knew he was going to come. He was still holding back, though, and I wasn’t sure why, so I sent the sensation I was feeling at that moment through our bond, and he practically exploded into action. His speed was phenomenal, and when he jerked, I felt him coming inside me, the pulsing of his cock almost matching that of my pussy as I throbbed around him. We collapsed onto the bed along with the others a moment later.

  I didn’t remember falling asleep, but it was hours later when I finally came around. Someone had put me in a different bed and covered me with a blanket. The smell of pizza drifted toward me, and my stomach rumbled audibly. I rolled out of bed, my knees almost giving out under me as I made my way to the bathroom. I was fairly sure that whoever had moved me had also cleaned me up, because there was no dried semen on my breasts. I quickly rinsed off just to make sure, and before I even left the bathroom, I knew Cass was waiting for me on the other side of
the door.

  Curiosity was killing me, so I looked inside myself, and sure enough, the bond I had with him was just as strong as the one I had with the others. It was only my bond with Hunter that looked weak, as if it could snap at any moment. It broke my heart. All I wanted was for us to all be together and for the bonds to be strong, but I knew that as long as Hunter held me at arm’s length, our bond would always look thin and frail compared to the others.

  I opened the door completely naked, and just as I’d hoped, Cass’s eyes widened. As I sauntered past him, I tapped my finger on the underside of his jaw. “You were just inside me. I didn’t think wandering around naked would be a big deal.”

  “You’re a beautiful woman. It’s always going to be a big deal,” he responded. “Anyway, I wanted to let you know we have food in the other room and we are watching a movie. No guy time, so feel free to interrupt.”

  I pulled on the fluffy robe I had claimed and headed toward the door.

  “Don’t you, uh, want to get dressed first?” he asked, running his fingers through his wavy black hair.

  I paused and thought about it for a moment. I knew I should get dressed, but being naked with just a robe would make it so much easier to torment the guys, so I just shook my head and said, “Nah.” Without a second glance, I headed through the door and into the other room, the smell of pizza calling to me.

  Chapter Thirteen

  Poppy

  The next morning when I woke up surrounded by the warm male skin of Nolan and Cass, I felt more energized and ready for whatever was about to happen than I had in ages. I gently wiggled my way out from between the two sleeping rocks of my bedmates and made my way to the other room. Emmett and Knox were already up and had apparently even been down to the gym judging from the sweaty messes that sat on the bed in front of me.
