Compelled (The Secrets of Dragons Book 1) (6 page)

“I would like an explanation someday. May I ask a question about your sisters or is the subject closed for now?”

He didn’t want to completely shut her out, but he also didn’t want to return to his semi-demon frame of mind. It was too dangerous. “I guess, but I may not answer you.”

“Fair enough. I was just wondering if you had any input concerning their lives. Eric says they are stuck up because they have so much money. Have they always been self-righteous?”

“No,” Alex replied with a roll of his eyes accompanied by a slow shake of his head. “They were sweet young women growing up. Marcy moved in with Jen, or she lives in the guest house. Once they were together again, they—I don’ know—changed. They started to evaluate people by what they did and didn’t have in life. If the person doesn’t have money, they aren’t worth associating with. Her husband’s not like that and I know it’s putting a strain on their marriage. I also dislike the fact that my sisters have become wasteful. The amount of food she cooked would feed an army and most of it will get thrown out.”

“Wow. Any idea why they changed?”

“I asked, but the only answer I got was they were tired of denying themselves. I guess they feel the people they associate with reflects back on them. They should be able to live extravagantly without question.”

“Oh,” Lou replied in skeptical tone. “Did today have anything to do with me?” No sooner had the words left her mouth she grimaced. “Sorry. Forget I asked.”

“It’s okay. I don’t want get into that discussion right now. Ask me later.”

“I will.” He was glad she dropped the subject because she had been the start of the argument with his sisters. They had said Lou wasn’t good enough for him and she was probably only after his money. Then they had gone on to make a snipe about Eric and asked if Lou was fucking both of them. That had sent him over the edge. It was none of their damned business what happened in his bedroom or with whom. The conversation had progressed to a screaming match and when he felt his demon rising, he had walked out.

Eric walked up the stairs, putting the card and receipt into their slot. “All set. Let’s go eat.” He was glad to see Alex’s face had not gone back to red. Obviously Lou had not irritated the situation. That was a nice piece of information. Many women would not leave something like this alone. They would pester with questions to sate their curiosity. Of course if it had been him, she probably wouldn’t have left it alone. For a man to turn red with anger wasn’t exactly normal, but acceptable. For him to turn an off shade of violet probably would have had her calling an ambulance, but he wasn’t as easily angered.

Alex started the motor back up and pulled out onto the street. Eric knew what restaurant they were going to. The diner had good food with quick service. The place was run by a friend or more aptly someone from their alternate family.

His attention turned back to Lou. She was looking straight ahead so he could only see the side of her face, but she had a nice profile. She was no longer shivering because Alex had the heat blasting. That was a good thing.

He had to wonder what she was thinking. Was she considering the events of the afternoon or were there other things on her mind? Eric had a sudden feeling tonight would be the night. If she hadn’t pushed Alex with questions, then it added one more notch in the belt of trusting her. It was happening slowly. Possibly more quickly for him, but Alex had always been more analytical. She was an open-minded woman with a good, solidly grounded spirit. Her mind was capable of processing things quickly, and she was adaptable.

Eric knew the lack of sexual interaction bothered her. He had seen the looks of disappointment when she was trying to be sexy and didn’t get a response from them. More aptly she had gotten a response, but physical interaction was limited to caresses and kisses. Alex forbid it until he was sure the time was right.

He didn’t mind being under Alex’s thumb, but there were occasions when he felt the need to question the man’s authority. That time was coming quickly if he didn’t lift the ban on having sex with Lou. It might be partially because he was becoming exceedingly frustrated by sleeping curled to her body. Alex felt the same way. Whenever Lou wasn’t present, they always enjoyed the alone time to have sex. Sex was not a catalyst for their relationship, but it was always exciting and added a warm glow between them.

There would be one alteration with Lou in that neither of them could take on their true form with her. That would be something for a later day. Hopefully in time they could take her home to meet their family. If they accepted her as one of their own … Eric grinned at the thought. He wanted that, Alex wanted that. To have their own female would be a dream come true.

Eric was surprised when the RV came to a halt and Alex slid from the driver’s seat. He looked directly at him and rolled his eyes. “We need to get south so I can open the windows without freezing to death.”

Eric caught Alex’s meaning and grimaced. He had been thinking too hard and could smell his own sexual musk in the air. “Oops.”

“Yeah, thanks,” replied Alex with a high browed shake of his head. “Let’s go eat. We will discuss that later.”

“I’d rather do more than discuss.”

Lou stood and stared at the two of them. “I want to get into a warmer climate,” replied Alex. Let’s see what the temperature is in North Carolina. Maybe we’ll pull over for a few days.” Alex turned and tugged on his coat, then opened the door, walking out. Lou followed, and Eric scrambled out of the seat to go with them. He was hungry as hell.

Chapter Five

They were back on the road with their stomachs sated an hour and a half later. Lou was really surprised at how well they knew the people working there. Alex said they had been in the restaurant only three times before, but almost everyone knew them by name. She was welcomed as if she were a part of the family, and when either of the men fed her something off their plate or kissed her, no one seemed to bat an eyelash.

As they pulled back onto the highway, she asked. “So how do you know them again?”

“We’re friends with the owner. She introduced us to everyone when we first went there.”

It still seemed strange that a bunch of waiters and waitresses would remember them. They were stunning specimens of manliness, but still—they weren’t famous or anything. “I guess it just struck me as odd. They all seem to know you by name.”

“I guess we’re just unforgettable,” said Eric.

She chuckled. “I have to agree.”

Alex turned a flashing smile to her. “Thank you. Are you going to crash for a while so you can drive later or would you rather pull over and hole up for the night? I checked my phone and the cold weather is all the way down into Florida. Well … cold at night. I would like to get into Virginia at the very least.”

“I’m kind of too full to want to go to bed. I suppose I can after my food digests.” She had been sleeping one-hundred percent better since she met them, although she hadn’t slept alone a single night. She would go home to her house every day, but didn’t sleep there.

Despite her words, Lou was on the verge of sleep when Joe popped into her mind. Thinking of him caused her to sigh heavier than she intended.

“What’s wrong?” Alex asked suddenly as if he might pull the vehicle over to talk to her if need be.

“Nothing really. My ex just came to mind. He never came and got his stuff or tried to contact me. That concerns me.”

“Would you feel better if we drove straight on through? Are you worried about your house?”

“No,” she assured him. Joe wouldn’t do anything or she didn’t think he would. “I just—I don’t know—thought about him, and thought it was weird. Nothing more or less.”

Alex nodded. “If you feel the need to go home, we can. I was just thinking it would be an easier trip if we stopped somewhere for the night. Maybe we can do something fun on the way home. I feel kind of bad for ruining your Easter.”

“You didn’t ruin my Easter. I had a good time at the restaurant. Everyone was really nice and if you want the honest truth, your sisters made me feel kind of uncomfortable. They were looking at me as if I was trailer trash.”

“I know. I didn’t miss the look.”

Lou realized she shouldn’t have said anything, but he brought it up. “No biggie, but you certainly didn’t ruin my day. I was turning into a popsicle anyway,” she said with a note of humor in her voice. “I don’t like the cold much.”

“Have you ever seen snow?” asked Eric.

“Not in real life. Have you?”

“Many times. It’s pretty and white if you’re in a warm house. Otherwise it’s like walking through shaved ice. If you touch it, it’s really cold. Hold it too long and it will make your fingers burn with pain.”

“I didn’t know that. Is that what they call frostbite?”

“That usually takes a little longer, but, yes.”

Had Eric gone out walking barefoot in the snow or had he just held it? The question sounded stupid and she kept it to herself. “Thanks for the info.”

“You’re welcome as always. Ask me anything.”

She knew she shouldn’t, but she couldn’t resist, although the question was aimed more at Alex. “Okay. When are we going to have sex?”

Eric burst out laughing and then Alex did the same. He pulled off the highway, parking to the very back of the lot of a large store where there were no other cars. “Holy shit, that was blunt. Get up.”

“What?”

“I said get up. Go in the bedroom and strip.”

This was far more than she had bargained for. It had only been a question. “Here?” she squeaked.

“Yes. Here. Now go. We’ll be in in a minute.”

He was serious. Her mouth was suddenly dry as a bone. What had she done? Rising slowly, she walked into the bedroom. Moving so she couldn’t be seen from the front window, Lou took off Eric’s sweater. It was colder at the back of the RV. Alex strolled in with Eric on his heels. He slid the door shut and looked at her. “Well. You should be naked by now.”

Lou did want to have sex with them, but this was not ideal by any means. “We’re going to freeze.”

“No, we’re not. I turned on the solar heat. It’ll kick on in a minute or two.”

“But—we’re in a parking lot.”

“I know where we are. You want sex. I’m still hot from earlier, and Eric is crawling out of his jeans wanting a piece of you. Now is as good a time as any. Then we can get back on the road with clear heads and sweet memories. When we get to the campground we make more.”

Her clit gave the familiar throb of arousal. His voice was so deep and penetrating as if he could stroke her nerve endings with it. Alex took a step closer and tugged her shirt up over her breasts. A moment later her bra joined it, crushed up under her chin. His mouth was on her, his palms enfolding her flesh as he licked her nipple. His tongue was so hot she felt as if it would burn her, the sensations it sent downward insanity. The scent was in the air again, stronger, musky like Alex and sweeter like Eric.

Her eyes were suddenly heavy, her breath escaping her open mouth in small pants. How she wanted this was unimaginable. Eric moved, taking a place behind Alex. She was stunned to see him naked, his clothing left in a pile on the floor. The sound of Alex’s zipper as Eric pulled it down seemed to resonate through the air and echo in the small space. Alex unzipped her jeans, sliding them downward over her hips as he nipped at her nipple. They were not fooling around. This was going to happen here and now.

Alex held up his arms as Eric tugged off his shirt. He lowered his hand and slid it into her panties, his fingers searching out the parting of her cunt lips. It collided with her clit like the striker on a gong, sending a chill through her entire body. She mewled with sensation as Alex slipped a finger into her cunt and demanded she walk forward with it. She had never been led with her pussy before. His palm was moving, his fingers flexing inside her and against her clit. A wildfire was roaring through her and she was only vaguely aware of Eric squeezing past her.

Eric finished removing her shirt, the warmth of his hands caressing her skin as he did so. Then he lifted each leg, removing her jeans from around her knees. He knelt behind her and began to lick at the back of her kneecaps, moving upward, ever so slowly. Lou was panting, her pussy throbbing around Alex’s fingers, harder and more demanding as each second passed. She was dizzy, having trouble remaining upright against the roar of the flames within her. Alex pulled back, sliding his hand from the elastic and allowing it to snap against her skin. He grabbed the waistband and tugged it down. Eric took over, removing the fabric completely.

As Alex stood erect, she got a fleeting glimpse of what she was in for. His cock was rock hard and looked exceedingly large. He boosted her up onto the bed with his hands under her armpits. “Do you want me or both of us?”

That was a question? She had to answer him, but her brain was in a white fog. “Both!” She had been dreaming of this forever. Lou wanted to see Eric in all his naked glory, but he was hidden by the bed. “I want you in my pussy, Alex, and Eric at my back, just like we sleep.”

“Demanding aren’t we?” asked Alex in a teasing tone.

At the moment she was. Alex sprawled the bed, lounging flat onto his back. “You want me, take me.” His breathing had a dark raspy quality, and she had no idea when, but he had rolled a condom over his cock.

Lou got to her knees, crawling over him. His dick seemed so large and so completely hard. She leaned forward to kiss him, but he put his hand over her mouth. “I want to be buried deeply inside you when you kiss me.”

The head of his cock twitched against the outer lips of her cunt. She maneuvered her body so she could feel him parting the skin and then lowered herself over him. The first brush of him as he separated the outer flesh made her pussy clamp tightly in expectation. She tried to relax as she moved, her ring opening, as little by little he filled her.

Eric stroked her ass, making her jump in surprise. Her inner muscles reacted with a jarring spasm that made Alex feel all the larger. She had never been with a man whose cock was so steely and inflexible. It didn’t seem to waver or flex, but remained solidly upright as if it wasn’t made of flesh and muscle at all.

Through lidded eyes, she looked at his face. The bedroom was shrouded with shadows from the dark curtains over the windows, but his skin looked as if it was tainted by red again. Was she indeed fucking a demon? It was a ridiculous thought that flittered from her mind with the feel of Eric smearing gel into her ass crack.

It was something very slippery, and when Eric blew on her skin, it heated slightly. Just the feel of it was sending her mind into overdrive. Alex placed his palms to her hips and urged her downward. Her cunt was so wet it consumed him without resistance, but the feel of him was overwhelming. Every tiny inner spasm was causing her to whine and shiver with sensation.

Eric moved a finger into her, flexing it to stretch the muscles. Alex made it more dramatic by arching his hips and then shifting them from side to side. The movement sent her over the edge and she would have screamed had Alex not slapped his hand over her mouth again. Her body crashed around him, spasms so strong they sent jarring quivers through her, and left her gasping for air.

Eric leaned and kissed her back. “My, the lady is dramatic. I love it. That was spectacular. Now let’s do it again. He added a second digit, then a third, Alex leaning back with his hands tucked behind his head.

“You can come kiss me now. The crush of your pussy is delicious. I want more.”

Eric urged her forward with his other hand before he slowly slid his fingers from her ass. Alex wiggled his hips, shimmying within her as if his cock was a branch in a strong breeze. The sensation was odd, but it felt so good. Everything about him felt that way. Her nipples brushed against his breasts, the tautness of the muscle inflaming her. He moved his hands, thrusting them into her hair as he snatched her bottom lip with his teeth and held it firm. Alex released her mouth, slowly slipping his hot tongue over her lips to coerce her into a kiss.

The press of his lips, the swirl of his tongue, filled her mind for a brief second as the light hair on Eric’s legs brushed against her feet. She tried not to tighten up, but did anyway, her pussy locked around Alex’s dick. Eric cracked her ass cheek with is palm, leaving it lightly stinging as he pressed his head to her tiny hole. The outer ring expanded to accept him, her ass so lubed it popped right in. He was gentle with his pressure, slow in moving, obviously not wanting to hurt her.

Alex consumed her with the kiss, demanding her attention, his tongue capturing hers to wrap around it like a python. He shifted his head, penetrating her mouth over and over to keep her attention as Eric filled her with his hard heat.

Both men felt warmer than usual, and as Eric leaned forward to kiss her neck, she realized she was sweating and wished Alex had left the heat turned off.

Her pussy was softly throbbing with Eric’s movement and when Alex began to rock her with his cock, she moaned, the sound high pitched and guttural. He growled softly, Eric mewling as he muffled his sounds with her skin. Eric nipped and kissed her neck, her shoulders, yet Alex releasing her from the kiss.

There was no control, the two men took it completely away from her, moving her body to accommodate their own. It was rapture to be trapped between them, filled by them, their hard flesh flexing within her. She was climbing, the fire igniting and burning brighter by the second. It was consuming her, overwhelming in the pure sensation of spiraling tendrils that seared from her pussy outward. It was like the surging lights on a Ferris wheel, flashing and burning in the brightness of a dark night. Eric snarled and suddenly slammed into her. She could feel the hard pulse of his cock within her, but the lack of fluid verified he was also wearing protection.

He sank back, kissing her spine downward until he nipped her ass and rose from the bed. It left her full attention on Alex as he smiled. “I have you all to myself. Rock and roll me.”

With her hands to either side of his head, she pushed herself upward. Now she was in control and she took it, rocking her body forward and back as she moved up and down. Alex filled her, his beautiful cock stroking perfectly within the building fire of her cunt. He had one hand on her breast, massaging the flesh between his fingers as he twisted her nipple. He moved the other one up her thigh and then parted the outer lips, stroking her clit. It was too much input, the added sensation making her pussy clamp and clutch around him. Again, a scream rose to her lips, her mouth open as she threw her head back in glorious bliss, her entire body jarred again by climax. Alex snarled, a raw animalistic sound as he brought his hips up, grabbing hers to force her downward and hold her as he came.

With his teeth bared, he drove his head back into the pillow and then completely relaxed. “Oh, shit. That was amazing.”
