Captivated: 3 (Mating Ritual) (7 page)

His words sucked the breath from her lungs. What could she say to this? A few days ago she would have naively answered yes, but now?

“You should consider what would be worse,” Stefon whispered. “Breaking your commitment, or honoring a pledge that should never have been made, one that may cause you to be unhappy for the rest of your days.”

Cindra stared at Stefon, the shock of his words penetrating her mind. Gods, he was right, wasn’t he? A vow honored in fact was worthless if one’s spirit did not agree.

She let her head fall back against the barn door, feeling hopelessly out of her element. “I’m so confused.”

Tempos inched even closer, until he was no farther than Stefon. The closeness of their bodies, the heat emanating from them, overwhelmed her, forcing her to shut her eyes.

“We know what we want,” Tempos whispered, his deep voice silky and smooth. One of his fingers traced her cheek, and it was all she could do not to throw herself at him. “We’ve no shame in admitting it. But what of you? What do you really, truly want?”

“I…” Swallowing hard, she did her best to break the spell the two Spygians had cast over her, but it was no use. Their rapt attention, combined with the fiasco of the interlude she’d just had with Adamon, left her weakened and vulnerable. Had left her wanting, in the physical sense.

Giving in to the urge, she opened her eyes and met Tempos’ steady gaze. Her heart pounded against her rib cage, the sound so loud she wondered if they could hear it.

“Kiss me,” she whispered.

Both Tempos’ and Stefon’s eyes widened, letting her know just how shocked they were by her words. She couldn’t blame them. She was pretty surprised right now, too.

“Excuse me?” Tempos uttered, as if he didn’t believe her.

Cindra sighed and tried to summon the urge to leave. But before she could do or say anything, Stefon threw Tempos a glance. “Our mate has requested that you kiss her. I’d suggest you oblige.”

A wide smile transformed Tempos’ face, feeding her self-consciousness, but before she could snap out, “Forget it,” he zoomed in, stealing the breath from her lungs. His lips closed over hers, intoxicating her with the scent of nectar and spice, and then his tongue slipped inside her mouth and all thought fled.

She concentrated on the liquid slide of his tongue in her mouth, the feathery feel of his loose hair tickling her face as he proceeded to kiss her senseless. This was…this was heaven. No, it was torture. The sweetest combination of both.

When he pulled softly away, she moaned out her protest, but before she could do anything more than open her eyes, a hand turned her head to the other side. She caught the briefest glimpse of the fire lighting Stefon’s bronze eyes before his mouth covered hers, his tongue plundering insistently.

Oh gods, yes!

She could never have imagined how deliciously wanton it felt to be kissed by a second man immediately after the first. Sinful, no doubt, but every nerve in her body screamed that two was better than one.

After several long, achy moments, Stefon drew away to whisper, “Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be with two men, Cindra?”

She could only whimper in response.

“To be touched by them,” Tempos’ silky voice chimed in as he drew close to her and tickled her ear with his lips.

“To be loved by them,” Stefon added.

“I, no. I mean, yes…I don’t know.” Heavens, but they were clouding her senses with their proximity.

“Let us touch you, beloved,” Tempos whispered into her ear. His hand closed around her waist, slowly stroking the skin there. “Let us bring you to pleasure.”

“We won’t take it any further than you wish to go,” Stefon whispered. “And you know we will not claim you. We cannot, unless we are all present and you wish for it to be so.”

Yes, Bannor had told her. Still, this was wrong. She should be asleep in her bed, not out by the barn with two sinful Spygians. She should be saving herself for her wedding, just as Adamon had vowed to do.

But you’re not giving them your virginity, the little devil on her shoulder prompted. You’re only getting a small taste of what it would be like to be mated to Spygians.

Could that truly be so wrong?

Oh hell…yes, she knew it was wrong. But she couldn’t help herself.

“Okay,” she found herself whispering back.

Stefon locked gazes with her. Whatever he saw there must have satisfied him, because he growled deep in his throat and lowered his lips to hers once again. His tongue went in deep, plundering and stroking and making her limbs quake. When hands reached to her neck, to the row of buttons that started there and ran all the way down to the center of her waist, she didn’t protest.

Shivering with desire, she proceeded to kiss Stefon wildly, to place one arm around his neck and run her hands along his muscular back. After what seemed like forever, the hands undid the final button at her waist and air kissed her flesh as the front of her dress was pulled open. She broke from Stefon with a gasp, opening her eyes to observe the scene.

It was Tempos who’d pulled the front of her dress open, and he stood gazing upon her naked flesh with an expression of unfettered desire on his face.

Stefon’s gaze lowered to her breasts, and he sucked in a breath. “You’ve beautiful breasts, Cindra. Full and round. Made for a man’s mouth.”

Before she could respond, both men lowered their heads, Stefon closing his lips around her left nipple, and Tempos around her right.

“Oh gods!” She bit her lip, stifling her cry. Even though she was quite far from the farmhouse, she didn’t want to chance her voice carrying in the night.

“Mm, you taste like heaven,” Stefon growled before proceeding to suck her entire nipple into his mouth.

She moaned and closed her hands over the backs of their heads, writhing in ecstasy against the barn door. Never would she have imagined the feel of two men’s mouths on her. It was out of this world. She needed more.

When Tempos pulled away, she whimpered a protest, but then he fell to his knees before her. Blinking in shock, she watched as he grabbed the hem of her dress, lifting it past her boots, which ended at mid-calf, then further and further up, until he’d pushed it all the way to her waist. She wore no underwear. Keulots didn’t see the need for them due to their conservative dress, and she’d long ago worn out the pair she’d had on when she first arrived here.

“What…what are you doing?” she gasped.

Stefon looked down at Tempos, just as Tempos speared Cindra with his molten gaze. “I’m admiring your cunt, Cindra. It is a beautiful one.”

“Delicious,” Stefon agreed hoarsely, his gaze locked on the bare mound Tempos had revealed. “What does it taste like?”

Gasping, she tensed and tried to pull away, but before she could move, Tempos buried his head between her legs and his tongue slid along her crease.

“Gods,” she cried out, her entire body quaking. “What are you doing?”

“Shush,” Stefon whispered, smoothing a lock of hair from her face. “He’s but tasting your sweet pussy, love. It will feel good, believe me.”

“I…” She had no doubt of that. Tempos’ tongue felt amazing. Overwhelming, even. It laved her crease before rubbing insistently at the little nub just above it. Something about him tonguing that particular spot made her limbs shake uncontrollably.

Stefon’s mouth returned to one breast and he cupped the other, palming the turgid nipple. She arched up into his touch and a second later Tempos’ long tongue thrust deep into her body, in the same spot where Bannor’s fingers had been the night before. Unable to stop the onslaught of sensation, she cried out, gyrating wildly against both men as her body was rocked by a rough, wicked release. Her movements must have excited Stefon, because he tore his mouth from her breast with a muttered curse and glanced down at Tempos.

“Let me have a turn. I must taste her.”

Her body quaking with sensation, Cindra leaned against the door and watched helplessly as Tempos rose, moving to her side so Stefon could kneel between her legs. A second later Stefon’s tongue plunged inside her body, and she jumped with a squeal.

Chuckling, Tempos hooked his arms under hers, pulling her off the wall and holding her weight as he brought his lips to hers and kissed her senseless. The musky taste of his mouth aroused her beyond belief. She did her best to hold on, but when Stefon hooked one leg, then the other, over his shoulders, leaving her lower body fully supported by his weight, she had no room to squirm. He buried his tongue deep within her, proceeding to plunge in and out with a ferocity that wrung another cry from her lips. Tempos swallowed the sound, holding her close while her body was racked with shudders from yet another release.

“Oh heavens,” she moaned when she could finally think again. This was torture. It was delicious. She didn’t want it to stop.

When Stefon finally unhooked her legs from his shoulders, slowly sliding his tongue out, she did her best to support her body even though her legs felt like rubber. Her gaze locked with Tempos’. Fire flashed in his bright-green gaze.

“I must taste you again,” he whispered.

She moaned, helpless to resist when he exchanged places with Stefon once again. His lips and tongue started to work their magic on her, and she clutched Stefon’s arm for support, resigning herself to much more of this wicked torment.

Her gaze wandered down Stefon’s body, and she noticed that his free hand clutched his erection over his breeches, pressing tightly on it. The knowledge that he was so aroused was her undoing. Unconsciously licking her lips, she hoarsely whispered, “Take it out.”

“What?” Stefon asked, but then his gaze followed hers. With a slight grin, he undid his breeches, freeing an impressive erection.

“It’s beautiful,” she whispered. Every bit as large and arousing as Devan’s had been yesterday.

Suddenly she came to a realization. If the men could put their mouths on her most private of areas, then surely…

“Can I taste you?” she asked.

Stefon’s eyes went wide with surprise. “Truly, you wish to do that?”

“Hell, yes.”

Letting out a throaty laugh, he closed his hands over her arms and tugged her away from the door she leaned on. He muttered something to Tempos, who pulled back from her lower body, making her whimper at the loss of his glorious tongue. A second later their hands guided her to the ground. She went willingly, all too eager to have a taste of Stefon’s luscious appendage. Surely it would be fantastic. Why else would her body be trembling at the thought?

Once she’d lain on the ground, Tempos wasted no time in drawing her legs apart, shoving her dress up toward her waist, and burying his face in her lap. His tongue immediately delved into the depths of her cunt once again, and she sat there, hands on either side to support herself, and simply enjoyed the undeniable pleasure of his lips and mouth. He feasted on her as if she was a meal for a starving man, and within moments the motion of his tongue brought her to the verge of ecstasy once again.

“Here.” Stefon moved toward her upper body. He grasped his rod and positioned it near her mouth. She would have laughed at the eagerness with which he accomplished his mission if she hadn’t been so turned-on at the sight of his large, impression erection.

Mm, speaking of dessert…

Her lips tentatively closed around the thick head, and when he let out a moan and his body jerked, she was emboldened to take more of him into her mouth. He tasted surprisingly good, like salt with a hint of cream.

Circling the base of his shaft with her fingers, she drew back, using the tip of her tongue to experimentally explore the head, then lick the underside. When he let out a whispered oath and tugged her head closer, she took him into her mouth again, swiftly learning what drove him wild. There wasn’t much he didn’t like, apparently. Every little thing she did only seemed to excite him more and more.

When Tempos speared his tongue into her body, stabbing her with hard, quick thrusts, her legs began to quiver anew. Unthinkingly, she began to slide Stefon in and out of her mouth in the same way. He let out a deep groan and seemed to lose control. Wrapping his hand tighter around the back of her head, he placed his free hand on the ground to support himself while he began to thrust hard into her mouth. Crying out, she opened her mouth wider, taking more of him in. He truly seemed to like that, because his thrusts became more uncontrolled.

“Open your throat,” he whispered, his voice harsh and broken. “Take me in deeper.”

Bemused, she tried to do what he said, and to her surprise she found herself able to take him deeper into her mouth. It felt good, too, wanton and sinful. With every pump the tip of him grazed the back of her throat, something that would no doubt make her hoarse come the morrow. Still, it was well worth it.

“Do you like that?” Stefon whispered his eyes flashing as his gaze clashed with hers. “Me fucking your mouth while Tempos fucks your cunt with his tongue?”

His crude words, words that no one would have ever dared to utter to the princess back in Chivea, had the unexpected effect of igniting her lust. The thought of what the two men were doing to her, combined with the pressure of their plunging thrusts, sent her flying over the abyss of pleasure. Screaming around Stefon’s rod, she found a hard release that shook her entire body.
