Chapter 16

Mari woke up on Saturday morning and found a note that said only, "Playroom. Now."

She ran damp fingers through her hair to calm the bedhead a bit, and then slipped into the outfit Cisco had left out for her: a flirty red skirt and matching camisole with a sheer lacy thong.

Mari grabbed a bowl of fruit salad as she dashed through the kitchen with a chirp of thanks for Giselle. She munched quickly as she moved through the house and washed it down with a few of gulps of water from the bottle she'd grabbed.

When she stepped into the playroom, Cisco and Dante were already there. They were both shirtless and wearing only pajama pants. Cisco sent a sizzling smile Mari's way as he smoothed his clawed hand over Dante's muscular stomach.

"Oh," Cisco purred. "It seems like the guest of honor has arrived." He reached down into the front of Dante's pants and gave him a fondle. An impressive tent rose at once. After a couple of strokes, his hand moved around behind for a quick grab of his ass. He leaned down to growl into Dante's ear, "Did you prep for me like I asked, sweet boy?"

When Dante nodded, he continued, "I'm really enjoying how slutty you are for me."

Dante turned his head so he could look in Cisco's eyes. "What makes you think it's you?" His gaze cut quickly to where Mari stood.

Her pulse kicked into high gear, and she had to clench her thighs to control the urge to move closer.

Cisco reached with his free hand to grab Dante's chin in a tight grip. "That's even better." He chuckled darkly and then licked Dante's cheek. "She's going to absolutely fucking ruin you. And if you're very, very good, she might let you lick her pussy after."

Dante shivered. An uneven moan fell from his lips. "I'll be so good."

Cisco showed off his fangs in a grin. "Tell her what I'm doing, little colt."

Dante met her eyes. "He's pushing his fingers inside me. Slowly." He bit his lower lip.

"She's going to spank the hell out of this fine ass in just a minute, but first, I want you to pull down your pants a little so she can see that gorgeous dick of yours."

Dante pulled down the waistband of his pants with a shaking hand until his cock sprang free. He was hard and ready from Cisco's teasing.

"Now give yourself a nice hard squeeze at the base."

Dante grabbed the base of his cock and squeezed until he groaned.

"Jerk yourself just like you did last night when you were thinking about her."

A blush rose into Dante's face, but his hand started moving with long, sure strokes. Mari had to bite back a moan. She thought of him in bed touching himself and felt an irrational growl of jealousy rise up.

"Get on that bench and close your eyes. Leave the pants here."

Dante moved the moment Cisco let go of him. He headed to the bench Cisco had indicated and arranged himself facedown. The bench was designed so that his torso and head were supported as he bent forward and his knees rested below on padded arms that held his legs open. Several bars along the sides at a variety of angles looked like handholds.

Cisco came back with several things he'd collected from different areas of the playroom and placed them on a nearby table. Mari glanced over the assortment, her magic strumming in her chest as she cataloged them.

Cisco crouched in front of Dante. "I'm going to restrain your arms and legs. Is that okay?"

Dante started nodding before Cisco even finished the question and then remembered that Cisco liked confirmation out loud. "Yes," he said in a whisper.

"What's your safeword?"

"Tulip."

"You want a fast or a slow burn today?"

"Fast." Dante shivered and then added, "Please, Papi."

Cisco smiled, slow and hot. "Understood." He moved off to secure Dante's hands and feet with leather cuffs he'd brought back with him. "Is that too tight?"

Dante tested the restraints and then rasped, "No."

"Okay, we're going to tune him up fast today, so we're starting with this," Cisco said as he moved back to her. He showed her a wooden paddle about as big across as her spread hand. "You're going to start out like this." He swatted one of Dante's exposed butt cheeks and it made a satisfying smack, ignoring Dante's surprised groan.

"Work over his entire ass and the backs of his thighs. Don't go higher than here." Cisco indicated a spot below where Dante's hipbones protruded. "Keep it on the meaty parts." Cisco handed her the paddle and stepped back to observe.

Mari surveyed the bounty before her. Dante was well-muscled and thick in all the right places. He looked like a meal set out just for her. Her mouth watered as her eyes moved over his golden skin, the anticipation growing. She drew back her arm and began.

She set a quick pace, starting off a bit softer before settling into the right intensity. The moment she hit the right strength she knew it, because Dante grunted. She worked that way for a while, her body warming and her magic humming along to the beat of the paddle.

"Okay, take a break," Cisco said.

She stepped back, her breath coming in a hard pant. Dante's ass and thighs were a glorious shade of red. Pride swelled in her chest as she watched him writhing on the bench as much as the cuffs would allow.

"You ever used one of these?" He held up what seemed to her a very large silicone butt plug. Lube already glistened over the entire bulb.

She shook her head.

He handed the plug to her and moved behind her. When she stepped closer to Dante, he wrapped his arms around her and grabbed her left wrist, placing her hand flat against Dante's ass. Dante hissed a harsh breath.

Cisco chuckled. "That's why we paddle first. Look how sensitive he is."

Mari stroked her fingers over the heated skin until Dante trembled.

"That's perfect," Cisco purred. "Now we take this and put it right here." He guided her other hand until the plug was lined up with Dante's hole and then pushed forward gently.

Dante groaned, his entire body clenching against the intrusion.

"Normally this part of the process would take some time," Cisco said. "But this sweet little ass slut stretched himself out ahead of time."

Dante relaxed slightly and Cisco pushed her hand forward with a bit more authority. There was a delicious moment of tension and then Dante's body gave way, swallowing the plug. Dante shuddered against the bench as a moan tore from him.

Once the plug was seated, Cisco rubbed over the base with his thumb. Dante quivered, his breath coming in an uneven pant.

Mari ran both of her hands over the globes of Dante's ass, digging in with her fingers slightly. The pain caused him to clench, which set off a soul-deep groan that made everything in Mari want to sing with joy.

"I think I'm not the only one in this room who's a sadist," Cisco said with a rumble of pride. He nuzzled his face into her hair. "Go get that strap."

She preened under his praise for a moment until the command in his tone got her moving. When she returned with the hard strap of leather about as long as her forearm, Cisco was massaging Dante's butt with both hands. The unicorn shivered under his expert touch.

"Okay, now we work with much more control, much more power. Use that vertically along this area here." Cisco indicated up and down strips over the back of Dante's thigh and ass. "Never up over the top with that one, and not too close to the center."

Mari made a couple of experimental swings and got herself arranged properly. Cisco stood back and watched her.

She swallowed her doubts and swung.

An anguished cry tore from Dante's throat and his power flexed seductively inside him. She opened to his magic like a dark flower, drawing deep with greedy swallows.

Her back straightened, and she struck again. And again. And again. Until Dante was sobbing. Every slap made him cry out and splutter. His tears were the sweetest music she had ever heard.

The monster inside her roared to the surface, drawn by his mingled pain and pleasure. She couldn't have held it back for anything because she was absolutely drunk on him. Her magic extended from her in deep blue tendrils, wrapping around Dante's knees, spreading him wider, then moving upwards over his thighs. She felt the burning of the blood under his skin as her magic crawled over him, desperate to touch more of him. Under that, she felt his power percolating to the surface as his desire grew. She needed all of him. Right now. She needed it.

Cisco grabbed her chin. Fear tightened Mari's chest. She had no idea what the monster would do to him if he challenged it. "Easy, mi diosa." He stared into her eyes that no longer felt like her eyes at all but that she could still see through. He didn't seem concerned that Mari was no longer in control. "I know what you want and you can have him, just go easy for her sake."

"He is mine ," a voice eerily like her own only harder somehow came from her mouth. The sound hurt her ears. The slithering tendrils of her magic tightened around Dante possessively. He stayed very, very still in her grip.

"I know." Cisco smiled. "No one is questioning that. I am asking you to take what you need and leave him unharmed. The woman who shares that body is very fond of him."

The regard of the monster turned inward. Mari felt it combing through her memories, her thoughts, in a quick and thorough appraisal, as if it had the right to the most intimate parts of her. "I believe you are correct," the goddess said with her voice. "He will be unharmed."

Cisco moved his hand down to her throat. "Take him, then."

The tendrils of her magic surged hungrily once more over Dante's body. They pried the plug out of his ass and wriggled to take its place. Dante moaned, his body shaking.

Dante clenched around the manifestation of her magic as it penetrated him. The low groan that escaped him reverberated through the room. The monster purred soothingly to him as she fucked into him, stretching him wide, more of her magic wrapping around his cock and caressing the curves of his reddened ass.

"Such a very good boy," she murmured as she stroked him with authority. It felt so gloriously filthy to be inside him this way, possessing him in the most intimate way possible. She explored his body as if she owned it, because right now, she did.

Dante's power roared into her, wild and rampant. There was so much it felt like an endless ocean. The monster drank it down in quick, glutinous gulps. Mari had no idea where the magic was going, just that there was a yawning chasm somewhere inside her where the magic rushed in like a whirlpool.

Dante jerked in her grip as an orgasm wracked him. Her lips curled with satisfaction when a tortured groan wrested from him as she continued to work him over without pausing. "Yes, my delicious darling, give it to me. I want it all."

The monster milked him of every bit of his magic over agonizing minutes, making him come over and over again until there was nothing left of his magic or his seed and he sagged against the bench.

Once he was spent, the tendrils of her magic pulled back slowly, rubbing all over Dante's body as they did. He tasted like sin and candy and she would never get enough. His shivering sigh made her smug. She grinned at Cisco. "Would you ever let me use you that way? Draining your pleasure until you were wrung out and shaking under me?"

Cisco laughed. "Perhaps." His gaze sharpened. "Not Rio."

The monster nodded. "He is safe from me. I know he requires a more gentle hand." She reached up and gripped his horn. He allowed her to pull his head down slightly. "A kiss before I go?"

"I would never refuse you," he said, his voice soft.

She dove in to claim his mouth, her tongue hungrily pressing between his lips. The monster devoured him for a long moment, and then slowly retreated, letting Mari take over again. His fingers flexed against her throat when he sensed the change in her kiss.

He remained still until she backed away an inch. "You okay?"

Mari nodded and glanced down to the bench. "Dante?"

Cisco moved away from her to check on the unicorn, unbuckling the cuffs as he went.

Dante murmured and shifted on the bench as Cisco moved around him. "So much better than okay. Holy shit. I haven't ever been fucked like that."

She moved around to the front of him and crouched down to help him up. "You sure? She didn't exactly ask permission."

Dante chuckled and let out a groan as he straightened. He pulled her into a hug. "Yeah, I'm good, sweetheart. Dubcon is my own personal catnip. Just give me a quick snuggle." He buried his face in the crook of her neck and held her close, his hands settling on her hips.

Cisco pressed his face to the back of Dante's neck in a soft nuzzle. "He didn't use his safeword. I was listening for it." He ruffled the unicorn's hair as he straightened. "Though he probably should have."

Dante lifted his head. "I don't know how I know, but she wasn't going to hurt me, even before you stepped in. Something about her magic, maybe? It didn't feel scary." He smiled disarmingly. "I was glad you were there, but I really don't think she would have harmed me."

"What did it feel like?" Cisco prompted.

Dante sighed pleasantly. "Like being safe. Being possessed." He met Mari's eyes and pink stained his cheeks. "Being loved."

"It certainly felt like affection to me. She felt the same way about you," Mari said to Cisco. She braced herself for what she had to say next. "You didn't seem surprised to see her."

Cisco looked away briefly, but his eyes returned to hers after a moment. "We've met before. At the ritual. When I put you under, she came forward. At the time I didn't know who she was though, I thought she was just a facet of your subconscious. This time it was much more obvious that she wasn't you."

Mari took a few beats to let the reality of what he was saying sink in. There was someone else, some thing else, living inside of her. And she had been there a long time. "She's the one Dohal was talking about. The monster." She held Dante tighter to comfort herself. She didn't know what to make of all of this. At the time it hadn't felt at all strange, but in the aftermath she was worried that she couldn't take control back if she wanted to. Had she wanted to?

"Well, at least she's probably not going to try to murder us." Cisco grinned. "Only fuck us into submission."

"Hey, I highly recommend it," Dante said with a big smile, his dimples out in full force. "Just make sure you stretch first." He winked.

Cisco rolled his eyes. "I'm going to step out and let you two have some alone time." He turned an appraising look on Dante. "You earned your reward."

Dante lifted Mari up into his arms with her legs around his waist. "Yum." He watched quietly as Cisco left and then returned his attention to Mari. "Where would you like to be my feast?"

"You're sure you enjoyed that?" She stared into his startling blue eyes, needing to be certain.

Dante kissed her, sweet and soft, with a curl to his lips. "Let me show you how much." He smoothed his hands over her ass as he started to walk with her.

He set her gently on a daybed that was tucked into a corner of the playroom and knelt on the floor, sparing an amused glance for the restraints that dangled from every rail. "Think you can keep your hands to yourself?"

Every stitch of her magic was gone, sucked away to wherever the goddess was hoarding it. Without it, she felt strangely raw and empty as her desire mounted. She gripped one of the handrails. "We'll see." She leaned back and grabbed the one behind her as well.

Dante watched her settle with a smile, and then without any preamble he reached under her skirt to remove her thong. He left it dangling around one ankle as he lifted her leg over his shoulder to expose her to him.

He leaned down and nuzzled her folds. "I hope you've missed me as much as I've missed you."

Before she could come up with a suitably snarky response, he dove in, lifting her hips to his mouth as he licked a long, slow stroke from bottom to top. Mari groaned and gripped the handrails so she didn't reach for him. He held her open and repeated the same torturous motion twice more, only relenting when she moaned with wanton abandon.

With a ravenous growl, he sucked her clit into his mouth and bit down lightly. Her hips bucked at the increased sensation. He murmured pleasantly into her as he rearranged her for better access, spreading her thighs with his hands and holding her open for his more serious assault.

He alternated lapping at her with teasing strokes of his tongue and giving her clit more direct attention with his lips at random intervals until Mari thought she would climb out of her skin. She was panting for breath when he sat back on his heels and smiled at her. "You look gorgeous like this, wide open for me and teased into a frenzy."

The lust in his eyes as he glanced over her made her cunt clench. She lifted her hips to tempt him, and he relented immediately, lowering his head to favor her clit with a dirty swirl of his tongue.

She rocked up into his mouth. "I want to ride that sinful tongue, Dante."

He chuckled against her as he wound his tongue in another slow circle meant to drive her to distraction. With a slow bob of his head, he gave her clit a series of suckling kisses that drew out long. Her toes curled as she arched up into him, desperate for more.

"Please," she begged. "I need more."

The humming noise of contentment that came from him made her quiver and he set to work with his tongue in earnest. With quick, sure circles of his tongue, he had her crying out in what seemed like a moment. Another, more firm bite made her come undone, her body clenching around nothing as the climax barreled over her. He sucked on her clit with gentle pressure, extending the orgasm until she felt wrung out. Only then did he lower his head to push his tongue into her trembling cunt.

He savored her with long, luscious strokes of his tongue, making loud noises of enjoyment as he devoured her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and drew her closer so she could ride his face with abandon, her thighs draped over his shoulders. When he sat up a long while later with glazed eyes, she was even more messy than when he started. Her wetness glistened on his lips and chin.

She groaned as he manhandled her, shifting their positions until he was sitting and she was astride him. He winced sightly as his still-tender ass hit the fabric. "Wrap that delicious pussy around my cock."

She moaned as she lowered herself onto him, her walls shuddering around him as he stretched her. He lifted his chin when she leaned down to kiss him, parting eagerly for her when she ran her tongue along his lips. She explored his mouth greedily. Every corner of him tasted like her.

Dante wrapped his hands around her ass and pulled her to grind against him as he pumped his hips. She let him control her movement and savored the sensation of the slow drag of him inside her as he fucked her.

She curled her fingers in his hair and pulled his head back to break the kiss, enjoying the desire etched into his face as she stared down at him.

"Gods, you're beautiful. I just want to bask in you," he said with an unsteady voice. "Ride me until you come again."

She rocked faster at his urging, grinding her clit against him. In moments she was on the edge, but held back the orgasm by bearing down, crying out against his mouth as her body gripped him. Dante grabbed her ass hard and pulled her to him as his hips thrust faster.

Mari arched her back and let go, her orgasm tumbling through her unhindered. She clenched around his cock and savored the way his strokes became uneven as he came inside her pulsing body. Wrapping her arms around him, she held him close as the aftershocks gradually eased.

He kissed her neck as she relaxed against him, his hands rubbing up and down her back. "I've got bad news for you."

"What's that?" She rested her head on his shoulder and sighed pleasantly. One of the things she liked most about him was how tactile he was.

"I think I'm addicted." He hugged her against him. "You may never get rid of me."

Mari laughed. "I'm not sure you could get away now even if you wanted to. She seems to really like you."

He let out a long breath. "Being the object of her desire was like nothing I've ever felt before."

Mari brushed her fingers over his cheek. "This isn't what you signed up for."

"I'm good, Mari." He turned to kiss her. "Submitting to possessive Dommes is what I do professionally. So while it's a bit of a surprise, it's also something I'm uniquely qualified to deal with. And the perks are nice."

"If she does anything that really scares you, I want you to tell Cisco right away."

Dante reached to hold the back of her neck. "Sweetheart, I love to be scared."
