Chapter 16

Sy

Rowan had been waiting outside Underhill. As soon as I appeared in his view, he darted toward me like a shark, and then I was wrapped in his strong arms.

He held me to him so tightly that it almost hurt, as if he was afraid that I'd get away or just disappear into the air the next second.

I was pleased at his eagerness and possessiveness.

"Hello, stranger," I purred. "Miss me?"

He growled. "Quit playing games!"

"What games?" I grinned wider, a full mouth of fangs on display.

He stared at me, dazed by my wild beauty. I wasn't afraid to acknowledge my stunning looks. Why pretend? I had this asset, so I was going to flaunt it in front of the fae prince and daze him even more, though my fangs had scared a few human men when I fucked them. They'd passed out, their cocks going limp in me. Barbie had been even more upset due to the feeding being undone.

"Are you going to keep playing hard to get?" he asked.

I blinked at him in confusion. "But I'm not hard to get. I'm easy. I come to you as soon as I'm able because I need to fuck you urgently. I'm thinking of fucking you all the time, sugar. It was the most amazing feeling to have your big cock embedded deeply within me, thrusting and thrusting."

He studied me intently as his anger and frustration seemed to fade. Lust rolled off him in their wake.

"Do you always talk this way?" he asked as he brought me to lean against the black tree, our usual spot. My back pressed against the bark with his large hands on either side of my head.

"Only to you. You're special." I grinned at him, cupping his bulge.

It was huge, and it needed to dip into my wet heat. I was more than happy to help it out while reaping the benefit as well. That was why I came to him, wasn't it? He hissed in pleasure and pure male need, his silver eyes turning brighter than the summer sky while lust flashed in them like lightning.

I was giddy to have such an effect on him. Every time we fucked, he only grew more hooked. I wanted this physical relationship to last, since I wanted him as my sole feeding source. After having tasted the fae prince, I didn't want any others.

"I barely talked to my other targets—I mean other males," I continued. "I went straight to fucking them, hard and brutally, until they nearly passed out, then I?—"

"Stop! I don't want to hear about you fucking other males!" he snapped.

"But you asked, sugar," I said, giggling.

His anger turned me on and amused me. I was telling him the truth about how I'd dealt with other males in the past. With Rowan, everything was amazing. It was a brand-new experience, and I was a happy repeat customer, but I also promised Barbie that I wouldn't go too far again after our last fight.

That fight had sunk me into a deep depression, so much so that I'd neglected my duty to protect Barbie. If it weren't for Killian arriving in time, she might've been taken to the one who had orchestrated the kidnapping. I shuddered at the possible horrible outcome.

"I've never met anyone like you," Rowan said.

"Of course, my sugar Rowan," I said. "I'm one of a kind. We should fuck now, since I don't have all night."

"Fine," he said. "After fucking, you'll need to answer some questions. I won't let you lead me on a wild goose chase forever."

"So demanding," I purred.

My pussy was soaking wet. Rowan could barely contain himself either, even though he wanted answers.

"I hope this time that asshole Killian won't pop out," he grated, darting his silver eyes around to check for an unwanted intruder while I slid my hand into his trousers and freed his massive erection. "He can't get this, so he resorts to watching others fuck. He wants to fuck that new girl in his house badly, but he can't."

I smirked as I felt Barbie perking up, all flushing and hot and upset.

"I feel bad for the chaos prince," I said. "Let's not be too hard on him if he comes to watch."

"He's bound to another," Rowan continued. "I don't think he's thrilled about it, even though Queen Lilith is a great beauty. Maybe males just want what they can't have. Forbidden fruits always taste better."

Barbie bristled at the mention of the Queen of the Underworld.

Let's break them up,I told her. I got your back.

"So you're saying that Barbie is the forbidden fruit to the chaos prince," I purred. "What am I to you? Do I taste better than forbidden fruit?"

He palmed my slick pussy. "You're my little monster, and my little monster is so wet for me, so ripe and ready to be fucked."

He nudged the head of his cock at my entrance, brushing open my plump folds, fooling around, before he thrust in powerfully. I gasped at the sensation, half-shutting my eyes, as I savored the feel of his cock sheathed deeply within me, filling me and stretching my inner walls.

"Many women need to be prepared, since I'm bigger than other males," he said. "But with you, it's always easy. You don't even need foreplay. Not that I don't like foreplay. You're just so responsive and ready all the time. With you, I don't need to hold back. I don't need to be gentle. I can just fuck your delicious cunt however I want."

Can you tell him to refrain from using the c-word?Barbie grunted. It's disrespectful.When I was younger, I was traumatized by the inmate shouting, "I can smell your cunt," in The Silence of the Lambs.

I'm not going to listen to your negative review in the middle of fucking, I said.

Rowan let out a low groan at the pleasure as he kept fucking me hard.

I dipped my gaze and watched our joined flesh while he gave me a moment to marvel at our coupling. My pussy gloved his shaft seamlessly. It was a gorgeous sight. Too bad no one was filming us. I'd love a close-up.

Barbie rolled her eyes. Don't take too long, Sy. We need to get back to the house in an hour, and my bathing time in the lake should be factored in as well. Killian has me on a tight leash. Somehow, he'll know if I stay away from the house for too long. Barbie no longer used a sharp voice with me. She'd mellowed out after our last brutal fight. I'm going to take a nap while you're at it. Oh, she added. I talked to Underhill. You and Rowan can go inside the forest to bang. Don't go deep, though. Just behind the tree so you guys can have some privacy, though Underhill will be watching. There's a flower bed prepared for your unholy copulation.

I wrapped my legs around Rowan as he thrust into me, powerful and demanding. In and out. In and out. Hitting all the G-spots. I threw my head back and giggled at the pleasure.

"Enjoy how I fuck you, don't you?" he asked. "Want me to go harder?"

"Later, sugar," I purred. "Let's fuck inside the forest, since I want you to bang me in a nice bed for a change."

"But Underhill?—"

"It'll oblige," I said. "Trust me."

"If you say so," he said. "I don't want to see Killian and his cronies show up here at any time."

He carried me, our flesh still tightly locked, and stepped through the entrance of the forbidden forest. There was no resistance or dark wind slamming into Rowan's face. No shadow beasts snarling or even around.

A flower bed rose from the forest ground behind a row of bushes and pink blossoms.

Rowan took in the scene in appreciation. He grabbed my butt and propelled me to ride his massive length a few more times before he stalked toward the bed.

"Just don't venture deeper into the forest and we'll be fine," I said, moaning at his thrusts. "We have to respect Underhill's boundaries."

He laid me on the bed and thrust deep into me, his weight delicious. "When it comes to fucking you, I respect no boundaries."

I giggled, showing him my fangs, and arched my back to receive him even deeper. He pounded into me brutally, and I writhed in delight.

"Little monster, one day you'll be the death of me!" he growled above the loud, erotic sound of flesh slapping flesh.

I wrapped my legs around his waist tighter. Whenever he plunged down, my legs clamped him harder, and my pussy squeezed his cock mercilessly, as if it owned it.

"That's how you want to play, is that it?" he hissed in pleasure.

He pulled out and flipped me to make me lie on my stomach, driving into me from behind. He pinned my hands above my head, heaving his hips up and down and plunging his hard shaft into me, every thrust powerful and delicious.

We fucked in that position for a few minutes before he got me on all fours to pound into me. I loved his domination, as no one had ever dominated me before.

My breasts bounced at his every vehement movement. He gripped my hips as he pounded into me again and again, bruising me. My breathless moans grew louder and louder as the pleasure kept building up in me. Rowan gave my butt a few hard slaps while fucking me at a blinding speed.

In the distance, the shadow beasts finally growled.

"I can't get enough of this hot pussy," Rowan groaned.

His next long, hard, and rapid thrusts made me see stars. A wave of orgasm swept over me, dragging me under, and I roared my release.

Rowan cursed, his cock growing harder, and came with me, pumping his seed into my womb. His hand came around to brush my clit roughly to offer me more pleasure. I cried and screamed and giggled. I didn't think I could take it anymore, yet I wanted more. Rowan kept pounding into me even after my waves ebbed.

"Good job!" I grinned, licking my lips.

"I'm not done with you, little monster," he said as I dropped my belly to the flower bed, sighing happily as I fed on his bountiful energy.

He pulled out of me, his cum dripping down my thighs. The fae prince turned me around to face him, spread my legs wide, lifted my butt, and plunged into me.

"My fae stallion!" I meowed.

My well was already full. Now Barbie was busy procuring energy for herself. That greedy little eater!

"Now's the time to tell me where you live," Rowan demanded, stilling even as his cock throbbed deep within me in pure male need. "Or you won't get any more."

Barbie tensed, pausing her feeding. Don't tell him! Don't be dumb, Sy. He thinks with his dick, but you should know better.

You think I'm just going to roll over and show him my belly for a couple of good fucks?I hissed back. You're the dumbass for saying I'm that dumb!

Even though we'd made up and had been careful with each other ever since the last fight, she still didn't have confidence in me. And it hurt more than I thought it could, as if the trust was still broken somehow.

"Are you sure I won't get more?" I purred, propelling my hips forward aggressively to ride his length and slamming into his balls.

My strength matched his in every way, and he fought not to roll his eyes back in pleasure.

"I'm serious, little monster." He gathered himself and hissed, restraining himself from thrusting to show his resolve. "I need to see you as often as possible, not just sneak here to fuck you. I want more than just a physical relationship with you. And if you won't reveal your residence, then come to stay in my house."

"It sounds appealing, but I can't do either," I said regretfully, my chest aching.

"Then we're done," he said, hesitating for a beat, and pulled out of me.

My heart went cold, cracking.

I told you men are fickle, Barbie chimed in. She never wanted me to get attached to Rowan. Let's go, Sy. We're filled, so it's not a total loss. We'll just find you another feeding source that doesn't ask too much. We can go back to the way it was before. You were perfectly fine before.

Barbie was terrible at emotional support.

And I didn't want to go back to before, to those dark, mindless years without Rowan.

But then, if he was done with me, I wasn't going to beg.

I sat up and flattened my short skirt. His seed still streamed down my thighs and dripped onto the flower bed.

"Get out," I said. "I'm going to take a nap."

"Just like that?" He stared at me incredulously. I bet he wasn't used to women not begging after being dumped.

"You said we were done," I said harshly. "So what else is there? Get the fuck out before Underhill tosses your bare butt out. You'll fall, your face planting on the dirt, which won't be a pretty image, princeling."

Excellent, Sy!Barbie cheered. Kick him out! We're done with the fae dude. There're plenty of dicks around.

Yet my heart broke a little more. Maybe my other half was right. Maybe men were all flaky. It was stupid to fall for men, to think that they'd hold our hearts gently in their hands.

I fought to keep my tears at bay, and my eyes hurt from the pressure. I hoped that Barbie hurt as well! This was a quarrel between Rowan and me, but I was mad at her too. She was so insensitive.

"You'll just toss me aside as if I mean nothing to you?" Rowan growled, anger and hurt darkening his silver eyes.

I shot to my feet, my face a couple of inches from his. I pulled my lips back in a snarl, my mouth full of sharp fangs that were about to give him a bite!

"You dumped me, fae!" I said hotly. "Be grateful I let you go! If you think I'm like the weak-ass females you used to fuck, think again. I don't care if you're a prince. I don't care if you're rich. Your status and rank mean absolutely nothing to me. Get the hell out of my face!"

He grabbed me. "You don't command me, little monster! I'm not done with you."

He tilted my head back and kissed me hard.

I hadn't meant to, so I was confused when I opened my mouth eagerly for him. He thrust his tongue into me, sweeping my hard palate and sending tingles of pleasure to my nerve endings. His rock-hard cock pressed against my front.

I bit his tongue to punish him for his former attitude, tasting his rich and powerful fae blood. He hissed in pain and pleasure and kissed me more aggressively. My lips felt bruised and swollen, yet I felt delicious.

When we finally broke away from each other to take air into our deprived lungs, he laid me on the bed again. He shoved up my short skirt. His weight fell on me, and then he was moving inside me, on top of me. The moves were gentle and purposeful, as if he was making love to me.

I moaned, my gaze bright as I took in his handsome face and the lust in his eyes.

What the fuck happened? Barbie demanded. I thought we were getting out of here, but you landed yourself in another fucking session. She threw up her hands in exasperation before she went back to feeding.

"I won't let you go, little monster!" Rowan vowed. "I didn't realize how much I need you until I realized I could lose you."

"Next time, when you deliver your threats, mean it, princeling," I purred viciously. "For I won't give you another chance to play me. I'm not the kind of woman you're used to. You haven't seen my true monster face yet." I meant Barbie. I paused as I savored his long thrusts before adding, "If I can give you more, I will. But my hands are tied, and I can't explain. So don't ask more of me. It's hard for me too, but we both can still get something out of this physical relationship. At least we can feed from each other to our great satisfaction. I won't ask you for exclusiveness." Rage, sadness, and resignation washed over me. "I won't ask anything of you. If you want to stop this, if you can't make it here to fuck me in the future, I won't have hard feelings toward you either."

"Will you be exclusive to me?" he asked, driving into my molten depths so hard that I gasped in approval.

"Why should I?" I asked while giggling at the incredible pleasure. "Isn't this an open relationship?"

It wasn't even a relationship, but I'd accepted what I could or couldn't have.

"You don't fuck anyone else!" he hissed, his silver eyes glowing with jealous fire. "I won't fuck another either. We can meet here as you prefer, but I want to see you more often. There should be a way I can reach you."

"Fine, sugar," I said. "If you can always deliver?—"

"When haven't I delivered?" He pounded into me with punishing force, and I threw my head back in delight.

"—and stop being so demanding, I can make compromises," I promised.

We moved together fiercely.

Tell him to send private messages to me on Spinchat and I'll get them to you.Barbie paused to bite her lip. This one is high maintenance.

That can be said about you,I retorted.

"Here's the deal, sugar Rowan," I said. "You can ask Barbie to get messages to me."

"What's your relationship with Barbie?"

"We're acquaintances," I said. "She owes me a couple of old debts, so she'll help me out now and then. Don't expect too much from her though. She's fickle, and she can be a cunt."

Barbie bristled, and I smirked.

"Tell me about that girl. We need to make sure that we can trust her," he said, grunting, thrusting into me, hitting my G-spots, and I moaned blissfully.

He picked up speed as lust hammered us. We weren't the tender kind. We were savages.

I slid my hands up and down the flexed, hard muscles on his back as he moved in me relentlessly. My fae male was so powerful. When his next thrust hit home, I cried out at the force, my fingernails finding purchase and leaving a long blood trail along his back.

He growled in approval, fucking me with abandon, all short, rapid thrusts before one drove home. My pussy clenched around his length. And then we both came at once, his cum flooding my depths.

Afterward, I rested my head on his hard chest now that we had a bed.

"Your friend Barbie has got an attitude issue," Rowan said. "But I don't blame her. Who wouldn't under Killian's tyranny?"

"I heard that she ditched only you during a speed-dating show." I aimed to provoke.

He cursed. "Everything leaks these days, and bad news travels fast without context. I just wanted to ask her a simple question—where I could reach you—and I was rudely denied my five minutes. On second thoughts, I was spared from the unpleasant experience the other heirs suffered through. The alarm blared at the end of every speed date, and then the heirs were kicked out like criminals. It was outrageous. Killian stooped so low as to hire a poltergeist to do his fucking dirty work."

I giggled. Neither Barbie nor the heirs had had a good time during the speed dates. It'd been hilarious.

Rowan gave me a look and kissed my cheek. "I don't usually curse, since it isn't the fae way. But this speed dating trend? It was a fucking sham! That jerk, Killian, was getting off on screwing with us. I've been watching Barbie due to her unique power, even though she's unknown. She's more than an Echo, though I don't exactly know her power source, which makes her even more intriguing. Killian knew it when he first laid eyes on her. Now that he's finally gotten her under his roof, he's controlling her in order to use her. Take advantage of her na?veté, even. He hoards her like a dragon guards his treasure."

"Do the other heirs agree with you?" I asked, urged by Barbie.

Rowan nodded, threading his fingers into my long, lush hair. "We've formed a pact. We'll free Barbie and bring the heir of the House of Chaos to his fucking knees."

Barbie bit her lower lip, brooding, cooking up her own schemes. I left her to her own devices.

"So you and the other princes are in business now?" I asked. "But everyone says that Prince Silas and Prince Louis hate each other."

"They still do, but they formed a temporary alliance in order to go after Killian," Rowan said. "But they don't see what I see. When you get to the bottom of this, it's not about Killian. Somehow, Barbie is the source that turns the heirs against each other."

Barbie bristled. She just couldn't handle criticism.

I lifted my head from my lover's chest and beamed at him. I liked this—talking after fucking. Very nice!

Rowan smiled back at me. "Let's take a nap, little monster."

Get him to leave!Barbie shouted at me. I got you a bed to let you have some privacy, not to let him sleep over here. We need to get back to the house soon, or Killian will come looking. Do you remember it took us a while to even get out of the building, since Killian has doubled the security detail? If Killian deems me a security risk, you might not get out to fuck the fae next time!

Chill your small tits!I barked back. I'll handle it. And you need to get Killian to chill.

I'd once thought the chaos prince's overprotectiveness and possessiveness toward Barbie was cute, but when it inconvenienced me, it grated on my nerves.

"Don't fall asleep, princeling." I let out an exasperated sigh as I tugged at Rowan. "You need to go."

"After a nap," he said with a charming smile. "It's always nice to have a nap."

"Next time, sugar," I said gently. "C'mon, I told you we couldn't stay long."

He got up reluctantly. "I'll see you home, then, or at least escort you to a more crowded place. It's not safe in this area. Barbie got grabbed last time. I'm not taking the chance of letting you be kidnapped as well."

"They wanted Barbie, not me," I said. "I'm nobody. No one knows about me. There's no target on my back. You go now, prince. I'll leave after cleaning up."

"But—"

A sweep of dark wind rose from the ground and threw Rowan out of the forest in the blink of an eye, and then walls of shadows sealed the entrance.

There's no need to be aggressive, I told Barbie. He was just leaving.

"You know how to reach me," I called toward Rowan, who was on the other side of the wall of darkness.

"I'll send Barbie a message," he shouted back.

Tell him to bring gifts,Barbie said. I'm not the kind of chick who works for free.

"Uh, Rowan sugar, you still there?"

"Yes?"

"You need to bring Barbie gifts next time you see her," I said, "or she won't pass your messages to me."

"What should I bring her?" he shouted.

Diamonds!Barbie barked urgently as if I were deaf. Pucker said diamonds are the best. We need to accumulate a fund in case we have to flee at a moment's notice.

"Diamonds," I said. "She likes diamonds!"

A long silence. Then?—

"You're kidding, right?" Rowan asked drily. "A few hookup messages for a diamond?"
