37. Medusa

E very last one of my mates was good looking. Most supernaturals were because we were predators. Most of Dionysus's Maenads still followed him thousands of years later, even if he wasn't really about the drunken orgies and nonstop parties anymore. Cas had the rugged good looks of someone who was going to wrap you up and keep you safe. Pax's scars didn't detract from his beauty at all.

And then there was Benji. Benji was practically ethereal. There were several spans of centuries where different gods were being worshipped where he would have been elevated and pampered by everyone because they thought he was blessed by the gods.

Yeah, everyone thought social media made everyone shallow, but they'd always been that way. They just blamed the gods for it for a long time.

Benji was sprawled on the bay window completely naked. I'd opened a paperback and strategically placed it over his cock. He was lounging in the bay window with Cas's reading glasses pretending to read while I snapped photos. He had his horns and wolf ears out and his tail was draped across his thigh.

I stood there taking photos from all angles. Should I be jealous Benji didn't seem capable of taking a bad picture? I never once caught him blinking or making a stupid face. I knew damned well in this day and age that people got their looks from genetics and not from any blessings or curses from the gods, but Benji was making me rethink all that.

"How is it possible that I haven't taken a bad photo of you yet?"

Benji just smirked at me.

"Because I'm very vain and practiced. I always wanted to be a musician like Jim Morrison, Robert Plant, or Orion Onyx but I sound like a cat getting neutered without anesthesia when I sing. I am pretty good at sculpture. Some of mine are in the garden. Want to see?" Benji said, setting the books aside and standing up.

Benji stood up in all his glory. He was muscular like a dancer. Benji didn't have his dick pierced like Pax or Dionysus, but he had two barbells in his nipples that were connected by a chain to his belly button piercing. He was also covered in tattoos. Benji was stunning.

My mouth went dry when he stretched. Benji scratched his stomach and his chains jingled.

"Why are you staring at me like you want to eat me, little monster?"

"Uh, because I do?"

"Cas didn't get the job done earlier?"

"Oh, he did. And I shouldn't even be horny again, but I am. What's up with that?"

Benji stalked over like the hybrid he was. He pulled me to his chest, and I was enveloped in shadows. Benji leaned down and kissed me like he had all the time in the world. He scooped me up and carried me through the door to their garden.

It really was lovely out here. This place felt like home. There were so many gardens here. Benji kept carrying me until we got to a clearing with a bunch of waterproof mattresses on the ground.

"This is one of our fuck nests for when the park is occupied and we want to fuck outside. Cas, play my sex playlist."

"As you wish, you very good boy," Cas's voice said as music started playing.

"It's glorious, but how many fuck nests do you have? And I'm pretty sure that wasn't Cas that just put the music on, but that was definitely his voice."

Benji tapped his finger to his lip like he was thinking.

"There's this one and the grotto, but everything is a fuck nest if you're ambitious enough. The kitchen was a fuck nest once. Don't worry, we cleaned it after. Pax is a bit of a germophobe.

"Cas got approached by a very young teenaged vampire who had a crush on him about being the male voice of a home assistant he was programming. He asked one of the sirens to do the voice for the female option. He said he'd pay them both when he started making money.

"Cas didn't care about the money. He's loaded, and he figured puberty and magic don't play well together, so having him working on that instead of starting fights was a good thing. Then, the kid ended up being some insane genius who did an amazing thing, and he paid Cas and the siren. He was a multimillionaire at fifteen. He took some of his money from that to develop a program for blind people like Pax so he could offer it for free and Cas taught him how to invest the rest. Why are you still wearing clothes?" he asked, tugging at my shirt.

Benji was standing in the garden naked as the day he was born and I still had all my clothes on. I knew Benji was a brat and liked poking Cas. I liked the occasional spanking, but not like Benji. Still, I liked poking sometimes, too.

I stepped back and stuck my tongue out at Benji.

"If you want me naked, you're going to have to make me."

Benji's face lit up in a huge grin.

"Are you trying to out brat me, little monster?"

"Maybe."

"Not going to work. As soon as my clothes come off, I'm a total sub. I get my jollies poking people ordering me around because I'm the one who is really in control. I'm only mostly docile when my dick is out. You're a baby fury who is learning to be a boss. So, boss me around a little. I think you'll like it. I know I do."

That…actually sounded like something I'd be into. And literally everyone was right about Benji's big, brown eyes. When he turned on the puppy dog eyes, you'd do anything he wanted. And I wanted to try it.

"Undress me."

Benji let out a whine, but I could tell it was because he was turned on and not in pain. He rushed over to me, but he was calm and collected as he peeled my clothes off. Benji made me feel like the most precious thing in the world. He was reverent and every time he removed an article of clothing, he'd leave behind kisses.

"You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, even the two seconds I saw you with snakes before I turned to stone. I know you don't need the glasses, but maybe we can roleplay with you as the sexy librarian and me as a naughty library guest who keeps eating Oreos in your library. I read a book like that once. We should do that," he murmured while kissing my stomach.

Benji left a trail of kisses as he pulled my sweatpants down. Actually, they were Cas's sweatpants. They were much too big, but they were comfy and I was cold all the time since I lost most of my body fat. It also seemed to please Cas. I moaned.

"We can do whatever the fuck you want."

"Nah, this is about what you want. Tell me what you want me to do to you."

"Get on your knees and please me."

A rumbling noise started coming from Benji's chest as he did what I asked. He fell to his knees, slung my leg over his shoulder, and devoured me. Benji was pretty much holding me up as he lapped at my clit. I saw stars as he slid his fingers inside me and begin to massage my G spot.

Fuck me. I was about to totally lose it, Benji just buried his face in my pussy and ate me for everything he was worth.

"You're a good boy, aren't you."

Benji let out a huge moan and doubled his efforts. He adjusted one of the hands that was gripping my ass to slide a finger in it. Yeah, I completely shattered all over his tongue. Benji held me up as my body sagged while I held onto his horns.

"Oh, my goddess," I whimpered.

Benji looked up at me from his knees with a smirk on his face.

"How was that, mistress?"

Uh, yeah, I liked being called that. And I liked ordering Benji around.

"You were perfect. Do you want me to return the favor?"

"I like giving rather than receiving."

I peeled myself away from him and laid on the mattress.

"Come here and fuck me."

"As you wish. But you own my orgasm. You have to tell me when I can cum."

"You can control that?"

Because fuck knew I couldn't. I just went off like Mount Vesuvius whenever my body wanted to. That had to be some kind of superpower.

"If you practice. I can teach you. It's always so much better when someone tells you that you can and you finally do. But first things first."

Benji pounced and buried his face in my neck leaving little bites. I was pretty sure while I was wrapped up with Pax, Dionysus spilled some of my secrets because Benji and Cas were completely perfect and didn't trigger any repressed memories.

Benji pulled back and stared at me with those beautiful brown eyes.

"Little monster, can I keep you?"

"Well, I've got a bit of your shadows in a paw print tattoo on my hip and you're wearing my mark. I'm pretty sure you can't get rid of me now."

"If someone tries to take you or hurt you, I'm going to shift and rip them apart," Benji said, nibbling on my collar bone. "Be honest. I called dibs on Hannibal, but do you want him?"

I tangled my hands in his hair and pulled.

"I could go all fury on his mind and then you can do the shadow wolf thing on him."

"Goddess, that's the sexiest thing I've ever heard. Are you ready for me?"

"Fuck yes."

"Then tell me."

"I want you to fuck me, Benji. Make me cum. But you aren't allowed to until I do. And be a good boy and use your shadows because I liked them before."

Benji shuddered and slid inside me. I didn't like feeling pinned down. It brought back too many memories. Before I met Benji, I would have thought a shadow demon's shadows would have brought me back to being pinned down and choked, but they didn't.

I knew the shadows were sentient and he could move and touch things with them, but they never felt oppressive. They also smelled like some kind of really expensive incense like we used to burn in the temples. Benji could kill with those shadows, but he could also be loving and gentle with them.

One-on-one, Benji fucked like he had all day and I was the most precious thing in the world. His shadows were caressing me all over. And they all knew how much I loved having my hair played with and had to do without because of my snakes. His shadows were gently scratching my scalp while doing all kinds of dirty things to the rest of my body.

I could feel what Benji felt. His shadows were tactile and I could feel them, but he could feel what he used them on, too. Benji enjoyed the feeling of his shadows in my hair and the rest of my body.

They all did this differently, but one thing was the same with all of them. I could feel what they needed and they could feel what I needed. Benji liked pain more than I did, but it didn't need to be anything extreme. Scratching, biting, hair, and tail pulling set him off, too.

Our bond opened everything. We hadn't really utilized the mental link because we were around so many people, but we'd fed off each other's feelings a lot. The guys were definitely exploiting that when we were having sex and I wasn't complaining at all because I was doing the same thing.

Benji had the body of a dancer and he certainly moved like one. He did this thing with his hips that made me nearly lose my mind. He felt I enjoyed it and I scratched his back up, so he kept doing it.

The shadow fingers were scratching my scalp, flicking my nipples, and massaging my clit while Benji was moving his hips like a belly dancer. I wasn't going to last much longer. Benji had this look on his face like he wouldn't either. I remembered what he asked of me.

"Benji, I'm close. Be a good boy and come with me."

He just grinned at me like a psychopath.

"As you wish, little monster."

Oh, fuck. When your hybrid mate was grinning at you like that when he was that far inside you, you should probably just grab his horns and enjoy the ride. I should have known Benji had mastered his shadows if he'd figured out how to turn into a shadow wolf.

His hips kept doing that swivel thing and only sped up a little, but his shadows went into overdrive all over my body. They were fluttering on my clit, pinching my nipples, stroking my neck, and playing with my hair.

"Come with me," I shrieked as my orgasm hit me.

Benji must have exceptional control or that was something he did with Cas and Pax because he let go when I did. We were both shaking and holding each other, and yeah, I bit him.

Benji rolled off me and pulled me to his chest.

"You know you're going to be in charge of all my thirst traps if they make you horny and lead to this."

I giggled and buried my face in his chest.

"I don't have a problem with that at all."
