Unchained Beauty (The Deadly Beauties Live On 5)

She puts her hands over mine, dragging them up her smooth flesh to her breasts, and a growl rips out of my throat when she leaves my hands there, like so many more of my fantasies.

Things like this tell me she’s giving herself to me, and every instinct in me wants to hold on for eternity, to disappear and hope we’re never found. But it’d never happen.

Disappearing doesn’t work.

My family tried to disappear once, and it resulted in centuries of torture and imprisonment. I remember that much.

Hooded silver eyes meet mine again, her fangs elongating, but before we can even exchange bites, she’s crying out, clenching around me so hard with the power of her orgasm that it starts my own before I’m ready.

I come so hard that I sit straight up, kissing her just so my sounds don’t escape, and I hold her to me as her body quakes. She kisses me like she’s waited as long as I have for moments like these, even though she’ll never truly know how often I needed this.

Fantasies of her were made with my eyes wide open, and now they’re finally real, dangerous as they may be. So long as I remember the plan, it’ll be okay…

She breaks the kiss, her forehead touching mine, then I spin her to be under me so I can kiss her more thoroughly.

Something clambers to the ground, and we both dart a look over as Kya materializes, blood dripping from her arms and gashes over her middle as she struggles to stop herself from falling.

I’m on my feet, my jeans appearing on me as I dart to her.

“What the hell happened?” I snap.

“Safe house. Go help,” she strains out, then disappears again.

Immediately, I dematerialize, landing just outside the pregnant fucking safe house just as another one of those monsters like before charges straight at me. Remembering the fact they drink in power, I shift, tearing through my clothing as my lycan roars free.

Shaking my head to stave off some of the moon’s effects in shifted form, I charge, tackling it to the ground, my widow venom pumping through my claws as I tear into its gut.

I hear a familiar roar just as I roll to my feet, watching the monster I’ve mauled as it tries to stand. Ella’s lycan is crashing into another, and she’s savagely ripping into it with her claws, not holding back as she unleashes hell.

It’s a thing of fucking beauty.

Four more monsters are on the porch, and they all turn their attention on the two of us as if we were the targets all along.

I crouch down, a deadly rumble coming out of me when their eyes linger on Ella’s back. With one strategic slash, I decapitate the monster in front of me, and I dart into the fray, bowling into all four of them just before they reach Ella.

(Yes, #IncubusesRockWhenScaryMonstersAreNotAround)

“It’s okay. Zee’s out there now too, along with Ella and Slade. I think. Why the hell are they out there on a red moon? I don’t know, but that means I don’t have to release Kane from his cell,” I tell the two pregnant women, sword clutched in my hand as I watch the scarred menace try to take down four on his own.

Kane’s beast is crazed tonight, since Alyssa is up here and he can smell her, knowing she’s in distress from the stubborn little power sucker in her womb. Fucking babies are evil these days.

Zee narrows his eyes in the direction of Slade, then smirks as he turns his back. Shit. The scarred menace will die with that many on him.

Zee and Leah slice through a new monster, and I prepare to unleash the king beast so he can save Ella’s freak of nature. Or kill him. Hopefully, he’ll go with option number one.

“What are you doing?” Karma shouts, panting before crying out in pain, the very frustrating baby inside her deciding tonight of all nights is the best time to come out.

“Releasing the motherfucking king to remind everyone why he is the motherfucking king!”

“I would really love to remind everyone why I’m queen! I’d love to be affected by the red moon right now. Come out, damn it. Come out,” Alyssa shouts to her stomach as I race by.

“I’m having your baby!” Karma shouts to my back.

“Just close your legs until I get back,” I call over my shoulder, racing down the stairs and hoping I don’t accidentally die while being a hero.
