battled a creature renowned for murdering handfuls
of supernaturals...
“ When you cease to act as a
Faction, you will no longer be looked at as one,” he replied
simply, gathering Ember close as she gave Constantine drowsy eyes
that were hooded by the blood-share.
His former coven of criminal vampires
followed him wherever he went. If only he could escape what his
life had been. Yet he couldn't, he was the sum of those
experiences. If he was not as he was now, he would never have
survived it. As he gazed at the lovely Ember held so securely in
the arms of a fellow Mer, Con cast his gaze to the ground.
It was better that they not see what played
in his eyes.
Her sexual subjugation preyed on Con's mind
like a cloud full of rain that did not fall, images of his
dominance of her, mingling inextricably with the blood that fueled
his body. It healed him, setting Constantine back to rights.
He was too damaged for normal. Constantine
knew this. That others expected normalcy showed they did not
understand the depths of his depravity.
Con breathed through the temptation to tear
the maiden out of Madden's arms, beating him until he stopped
breathing so he could fall upon her, fucking her until she
begged.
Then fucking her more.
When Con regained a semblance that passed
for calm for him, his gaze rose and he met first the eyes of the
young Druid and those eyes knew him, perhaps seeing the hint of the
shadow that lurked within himself.
When his gaze shifted down he found the deep
gaze of the girl he had rescued.
Her eyes were black opal.
It sparked Constantine to move.
She was as Ember.
Yet more.
Like a moth to a flame he moved, those deep
eyes sucking him under like quicksand on fire.
For once, Constantine became oblivious to
his surroundings and when the blunt bite sung on the back of his
head, he slumped to the ground.
As he fell he vowed retaliation.
It was the Faction way.
It was Constantine's as well.
CHAPTER 7
Ruby
Ruby awoke, the room she lay in the strangest of
her life. She immediately tried to place her surroundings. Gone was
the dive she lived in on the pier.
A strange, stone-like ceiling greeted her,
seeming to suck in the ambient light of the day through its
multi-colored and translucent surface. She sat up and realized she
had a case of Ass Mouth. She was terribly thirsty and if she hadn't
known better, hung over.
Then her pussy gave a soft pulse and the
memories of the night before came roaring back.
Gawd, she thought, putting her palm over
her face, blinding herself momentarily, I let that demon guy...
ugh.
Wait a sec, Ruby thought. What were those
people? Were they people? Where was she?
She looked down at where she lay and realized
she was in bathwater in some kind of strange tub.
Ruby clutched the sides and rose.
Just then a built hottie came into the room and
got a great view of the whole tamale.
He didn't seem shy about checking her out
either.
Ruby tried to do the naked statue thing and
cover her slit and tits with her hands. She was doing a Walt Disney
and didn't know whether to sink back into the crazy bathtub or
stand there with her parts flagging a guy that was a stranger.
Ruby sank, the water pebbling her nipples at the
change of temperature.
He laughed.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph . Ruby's face
burned with heat and she realized her traitor's skin had flared
like a fire engine, relaying her embarrassment and discomfort
perfectly.
Ruby watched his arrogant expression and wanted
to kick his ass but figured he could take her. Easily. He was so
smug standing there with that lopsided grin.
Fuck. Ruby felt stupid. Then she felt
scared.
She'd been attacked the night before, nearly
raped, saved by a demon dude who licked her till she came and then
the supernatural cavalry had showed up and saved the day.
Or had they?
She sunk deeper into the tub as he strolled
over. Ruby cringed away and he frowned.
“What? I'm not going to hurt you. I'm not that
fire guy,” he said, then
