Free Taunting Destiny by Amelia Hutchins

I did it, sorry.”
    He nodded his head and turned to Ryder. “Vlad might have more knowledge on this. If she cured the blood, it's possible she could be Blood Fae.”
    “ Blood Fae?” I asked, trying to recall everything I knew about them—it wasn’t much though. The Blood King was reported to be very reclusive. The reports I had read back at the Guild said that he and his people were pretty much isolationists that kept themselves away from the rest of the High Fae castes, and were rarely spotted in this world.
    “ Interesting idea, Ristan. Call Vlad and tell him to get his ass down here. Eliran, call me if any of the victims wake up and recall anything.  Syn, you need to get some sleep.”
    “ I can rest at home.”
    “ You can rest here,” Ryder argued.
    “ No, I am not staying here. I can rest just as well at home,” I growled, feeling my body sway.
    “ Your two days are almost up. Need me to spell it out for you?” Ryder whispered as his hands rested on my shoulders, sending shivers to my toes.
    “ Fine, but I'm not sleeping in your bedroom.” Ryder's lips lifted into his cocky smile, and I wanted to wipe it off—with my lips. I shook my head. “I need sleep, remember?”
    “ I need to feed,” he challenged.
    “ I don't have to sleep in your bed for that. It’s a business arrangement. Not an invitation to use me whenever you want to.”
    He smiled wider a s he nodded to the others in the room and grabbed my hand, sifting us back to his room.
    “ I said I wasn’t sleeping in your room!”
    “ Who said anything about sleeping? You are going to feed me. Now, take off your clothes and get your ass in my bed.”
    “ Ryder,” I whispered, not sure how to respond to him since my body already was. Heat pooled between my legs as my hips spread with readiness for him already.
    “ Take off your shorts, now,” he challenged and stepped closer to me.
    I exhaled and glared at him. “Fine, do it, feed from me.  Just call me your fucking buffet.” I bent down and pulled off my shorts and panties and then ripped off the borrowed shirt. I turned and walked back to the bed, feeling faint and tired with everything that had gone down today. I lay on my back and spread my legs, eyeing him.
    I watched him remove his shirt and slowly unbutton each silver button of his jeans until his cock jutted out, hard and beautifully proud.  He moved closer to the bed, slowly, each step making my mind wild with what I wanted from him. The fact that I shouldn’t be doing this pressed against my mind. “Scoot up and get on your side.”
    I did as he said and moaned as his flesh pressed against my o wn, his massive erection pushed against my ass as he wrapped his arm around me. His mouth kissed up the side of my waist until he reached my cheek. “Thank you for saving my people today, Syn,” he whispered and lay back down beside me. He pulled the covers over us and brought my body closer to his.
    “ I'm not even sure how I did it,” I whispered, and pressed myself against him. I turned and looked up at him. “Ryder—”
    “ Syn, I'm barely managing to keep myself still. Turn over and go to sleep, before I forget you’re tired and feed from that sweet, tight pussy.”
    I smiled and turned back to face away from him. This wasn't what I had expected, not from Ryder. This was calming, and even with his skin pressed against mine, I could still feel myself drifting to sleep against his warmth and protection.
    “ Sleep is good,” I whispered through an overly dry mouth that wanted to taste his skin. I closed my eyes and settled against him until his arm came around me to rest over my chest, his fingers inches away from my already erect nipples. We were full of sexual tension. Being naked together wasn't going to end in sleeping.
    “ This isn't working,” He growled against my ear, and I felt an electrical sizzle as fabric spread over my naked skin.  He'd used his magic to dress us both. I looked down with a small gasp to
