Free Hell's Revenge by Eve Langlais Page A

understand what I’m saying?”
    “If my batteries run low, my power is going to hunting for the nearest being who satisfies a part of it and tie them to me whether they want to or not.” Everything suddenly became crystal clear and I didn’t like it one bit.
    Auric’s eyes widened at my insightful assumption. “Yes. That’s exactly it, but only if you’re weak from power loss. We’ll just have to make sure that never happens.”
    “It already has,” I grumbled. “Or have you forgotten fang boy?” Auric’s lips tightened. “I’ll need to confirm with Nefertiti if just a kiss can tie him to you or if it requires something deeper.”
    Given my reaction to his return at my bar, I already knew. Coitus or not, my magic recognized the vamp as mine. And even worse, the fact didn’t bother me as much as it should have.
    Auric had flown us through the night skies in loops while we had our talk. He landed on the fire escape and had no sooner set me on my feet than the fire door was opened by David.
    “Is it ready?” Auric asked.
    David nodded as he pulled me into him for a kiss distracting me from asking what the heck Auric was talking about. He walked me backwards until my knees hit the bed, then he turned me so I faced away from him. Auric came at me from across the bed in a predatory crawl that sent instant moist heat to my cleft. He stopped and knelt in front of me.
    “Are you ready for your punishment?” Auric asked.
    “I thought we’d talked that all out,” I replied with a smile. Not that I wanted to get out of my punishment. Not when I knew the pleasure that could be had.
    “Our talk was important, but the fact remains, you hid something important from David and me. No secrets, Muri. Rule number one and one I’ll make sure you never forget.”
    The promise in his tone made my breathe hitch. Auric smiled wickedly, his green eyes dancing. He nabbed me around the waist and leaned in for a kiss. More like a tease, as he only lightly brushed his over mine in a whispery caress that made me moan and lean into him for more.
    When I would have wrapped my arms around him, David grabbed my hands and pulled them up and out from me. Their mastery of me excited me, so I didn’t immediately panic when the first manacle went around my wrist, followed by a second around my other. But I did worry when they both moved away and stopped touching me.
    I opened my eyes and saw Auric leaning back watching me. I licked my lips when he stripped off his shirt, then his pants. David came into view and knelt up on the bed beside Auric, the pair of them naked, muscled gods and even better, they belonged to me.
    “I’m feeling a little over dressed here,” I said arching a brow.
    “We wouldn’t want that given what we intend to do to you,” Auric murmured. He leaned forward and used his bare hands to literally tear the clothes from my body.
    I just about came, the evident strength and erotic appeal of the moment too much to bear. My naked skin shivered in the cooler air and my nipples hardened into nubs. And still my boys watched me, raking me in with their heated gaze from head to toe.
    “Feel free to start anytime.” I would have taken matters into my own hands, but given they were shackled; I was completely at their mercy. My cleft moistened further at that reminder.
    “Impatient for your punishment?” Auric looked past me to David. “I’m surprised she’s so eager for us to begin, given her vehemence over the whole ass issue.” I gaped and then screeched as understanding washed over me. “I don’t think so. You can forget that plan right now. Spank me, bite me or tease me, but you leave my ass alone.”
    David grinned. “You wish. Apparently you didn’t get the memo about the fact we own your ass, and so we’re going to show you, in the flesh.”
    “But—”
    “Your butt is ours,” Auric interrupted. “And when something happens to it, you will let us know. I warned you this would be a lesson you
