Thirty-Eight

Phil

S he is close! Go to her. Take her. Fuck her.

The demon's voice scrapes through my mind like acid, and I slam the side of my head against the invisible barrier Ember created to keep me isolated in this section of the private jet.

Drawing a long breath, I fight the thing that's inside me, trying to keep it calm so that it doesn't taunt me as often on this long trip to Paris.

Getting from the lake to Toronto, we separated into two groups, and I traveled with Ember and her mates. They were all acting as if this trip is simply a fun vacation, even though I know there's more to it. Even Axe, the bear-man, seems excited about going to Paris. Well, not as angry about it, as I expected based on what I know of the man.

When Axel found me in the cave last night, he was gruff. Straightforward. My kind of guy. He told me a bit about himself, how he began life as a grizzly shifter; how betrayed and angry he felt when he was turned into a vampire hybrid against his will; how he suffered, watching his family and friends die in agony; and most of all, how isolated and alone he felt after that, until he found Ember. Or until she found him from the sound of it.

I relate to Axe's story. I too have been turned into a hybrid. But instead of being a shifter turned into a vampire, I'm a vampire turned into some kind of half demon.

When we got to Toronto, Ember and Axe took me aboard this private jet, and once I was seated, Ember created light with her hands, an unbelievably bright light that grew as she moved her palms around it. Then she spread her hands to the side, and the light vanished.

After taking a few deep breaths, clearly needing to recover, Ember asked if I felt any discomfort.

I was baffled. Shaking my head no, I assumed that whatever magic she'd tried on me had failed. But when Ana boarded the plane, the demon goaded me to grab her, to kill the others if necessary, so I could fuck her right here on the plane.

I fought the demon, but when a tiny part of me caved, I discovered I couldn't move from the grouping of four seats I'm still sitting in. I'm in an invisible, impenetrable box.

I shake my head. I do know that magic exists but have never seen it first-hand like this. Not that I know of anyway. Magic keepers are infamously secretive. So secretive that most on this earth don't believe they exist. But whether the barrier around me is real, or an illusion in my mind, I can't break through it. More importantly, the demon can't either.

I haven't seen Ana since she sat down, but I sense her presence on board. The demon knows she's here too, and it's a constant struggle to quiet his voice.

Her pain will bring you power. With her, we will rule this pathetic world.

I've gone insane. If I don't get this demon out of my brain, I'll drive a stake through my heart.

Fool! You can't die. I will not grant you that gift until you give me what I need.

I clamp my hands over my temples, wishing I could squeeze this fucker out. Maybe if I apply enough pressure, it will extrude through my nose or my lips or my ears. My eyes start to pound with the pressure. I drop my hands.

The demon and I agree on one thing. I don't really want to die. Not yet. Not until I get what I want. We both want Ana, but our reasons couldn't be more different.

A tiny bit of hope enters my heart. I have no idea why we're going to Paris, if that's even the truth. But it's clear the others have a plan to get this fucker out of me. No one will tell me the details, or speak of it in my presence, but it's clear there's a plan.

Ana stands and crosses toward Ember's seat on the plane. My heart tries to leap out of my chest, but my heart can't break through the magic walls any more than my body can. Weeks ago, I admitted how much I love Ana, and every time I see her subtle beauty, hear her sweet voice, sense her strong heartbeat, or catch the scent of her powerful, sweet essence, my heart and mind explode with joy, with bewilderment that this tiny, perfect creature loves me. Loved me, before I became possessed by a demon.

Fuck her! Fuck her hard! Make her scream in agony! What are you waiting for? Slam your massive tool straight through her. It's ready. I feel your need. A silver cock cage will hurt you too, but there are other ways to hurt her. Other ways to cause her pain while I spill my seed.

"No!" I shout. Turning toward the invisible barrier, I slam my palms against it, then stand bent over, ramming my head into it, over and over and over.

Good! You can break it. We can get to her.

"Fuck!" I drop down to my ass on the floor between the two sets of seats, putting my head in my hands.

Blood drips from my forehead into my eyes, and my head sears with pain I deserve. I'm losing my grip. The magic holding me in is here to protect Ana. To protect us both. The demon was in charge when I tried to break free.

"Phil." Ana's voice draws my attention, and I drop my hands to look up toward her. "Are you okay?"

I grip the metal brackets holding down the seats, hoping they'll keep me from lunging toward her.

"You're bleeding." Her eyes are full of compassion and sadness and worry. My love for her expands.

Love doesn't matter! Fucking her matters. Hurting her matters! Focus!

The demon's voice is so much like the master's it sends a chill racing through me, but also firms my resolve to fight.

The metal is cutting into my hands, but I don't dare let go. "It's good to see you."

"You too." She presses her palms against the invisible barrier, and I can see the blood flowing beneath her pale skin. I can almost taste her.

Crusher, Blade and Flame arrive, forming a semi-circle around her. Their cocks are engorged with need for her, and jealousy nearly consumes me. At this moment I'd kill all three of them to be inside her.

Blade and Flame are touching her, and standing so close on either side, that their stiff cocks are brushing her body.

"Fuck her for me," I ask them, the unexpected request jarring.

"What?" Blade tips his head to the side, as if he can't believe what he heard.

Ana's eyebrows draw together, her eyes full of concern.

"I want to watch." My voice is deep, and I hope convincing. Although I'm unsure whether it's the demon or me who made the request.

"Fuck her where I can see." I look between Flame and Blade.

Blade looks on board with the idea. Through her linen gown, his hand slowly caresses her belly, and his hips pulse, rubbing his hardness against her.

"No, Phil." Ember draws my attention away from her body, and from how Flame and Blade are touching her, and I look into her eyes. She looks like she's in pain, and I suddenly want to kill Flame and Blade for entirely different reasons.

But it's me who's causing her pain.

"Please." I shift from my ass to my knees, clasping my blood-covered hands in front of me. "If I can't have you, then please let me watch as they give you pleasure."

The demon rumbles inside me.

Which of us wants this? I can't tell. We both do.

Reaching down, I free my cock, taking it in one hand and squeezing it as I direct it toward her. "Please!"

Ana's gaze drops for a moment and her pupils widen, making me believe that she's thinking about my request, but then she shakes her head.

"Phil. No. It would cause you more pain."

"I'll be the judge of that!" The voice comes out of me with so much force I realize the demon's now driving. "I want to see your tiny body railed by their cocks!"

Ana takes a step back, the shock on her face quickly replaced by confusion.

Make her fuck the big one! Make them all fuck her at once! Make them rip her apart! The black one can cut her. The blond one can burn her. The big one can crush her bones, as all three pound inside her. If you ask her again, she'll do it. She'd do anything for you.

I bring my hands to my temples. Without my vise-like grip, my cock throbs even harder.

Ana's eyes widen.

Her pain, even at their hands, will give us power. Enough power that we'll be able to break the magic that evil witch is using to keep us from her!

My internal battle intensifies. It's becoming more difficult to differentiate the demon's needs from mine. If I gain enough power to break this magic, I can be the one to fuck her.

To hurt her.

I shake my head, trying to regain full use of my mind.

I don't want to hurt her. And the demon is wrong to think my cock will tear her apart. I know first-hand how well her tiny body can take my thick tool.

Then we'll use it to fuck her ass! You and the other big one can plow her ass at the same time.

I shake my head, trying to drown out the demon.

We will break her! Whatever it takes!

"Please!" I cry out, hoping to tame the demon.

Ana presses her palm against the barrier. "Are you sure ?" She thinks I was pleading with her, not the demon. Her chest is heaving. She's uncertain, but desperate to give me anything I ask for.

Use those feelings against her! Make her cave.

I struggle to contain my voice, but the words burst out. "Ana, if you ever loved me… If any of you care about me at all, you'll do what I ask." The battle inside me is fierce, but I can't stop the words. I can't even tell who's in charge anymore.

Her body nearly crumples, but then stiffens. She presses her forehead against the barrier and looks deeply into my eyes.

Everything inside me pulses. Ana still loves me. I can see it. She wants to grant my request. She's going to give in. I'm going to get what I want. And if the demon is right, we'll soon have her too.

Something far darker than lust builds up inside me.

"No, my love," she says softly. "This isn't what you want."

"Please!" I lunge at the invisible wall.

They all jump back in shock, the three of them creating a barrier around her.

But she breaks through their hold, enough to look into my eyes again.

And I know that she sees me. That she can see past the demon to the real me, and that she can see me better than I've ever been able to see myself.

"Try to rest, my love," she says softly. "I will fix this. Together we will banish this demon forever."
