You will come to me.
All of you.
So let it be!
The sun slipped fully beneath the horizon.
A geyser ruptured through me. Sweeping me away in a crashing barrage of blood.
I lay on my back. Staring up at the sky, indigo streaked with purple and pink. So beautiful. The first star twinkled at me. Make a wish. I tried to giggle but it didn’t sound right. A choked, wheezing gasp.
A hard thrust of dick sheathing deep in my body made me blink. Trying to focus. Twitching. My arms flopped. Useless.
Gurgles when I tried to speak. His name. I still didn’t know. Who?
But his teeth. Ripped my throat. Out.

SEKH
Chaos erupted around us.
Wallowing in bloodlust, it slowly occurred to me that I might have made a critical error.
Rather than reveling in what our queen had wrought, her other Blood forcibly dragged me off her before I barely had a taste. The alpha had his arm around my neck so tight my spine popped, threatening to release my head. The dragon savagely ground deeper against my buttocks, his rage lashing me like flaming whips while he fucked me.
“G,” the alpha boomed like thunder. “Get her to safety!”
The Blood who’d been pummeling me with his hooves just moments before grabbed her beneath her arms and dragged her a few feet away. Leaving a blood trail that gleamed like priceless jewels in the starlight. I strained against the alpha’s chokehold, ignoring his ire. If they took her away from me, I’d at least lick her blood from the ground.
I only had a fucking taste. A drop in the ocean from what she’d taken from me. Fresh, hot blood dripped down my chin. Shuddering, I licked every drop. My infinite thirst, agonies. Thousands of years in the making.
The fragile scent of her skin in my jaws. The lush oasis of her body. Insanity to lose it. To not revel in her. A queen fucking called me from my goddess-given role, and they didn’t want me to bask in her glory and pleasure?
“Shara.” The horse—G, evidently—wrapped his palms around her throat, quelling the blood spray. “Close these wounds before you bleed out and waste all the power and blood you’ve gained.”
Shara. Yes. Her name. Now it was engraved in my hide like a hieroglyph that would never weather away.
She made a ragged sound that tightened the alpha’s headlock, wrenching my head harder. Darkness threatened, making me struggle even more. Not because I feared oblivion. I hadn’t slept or closed my all-seeing eyes in millennia. Unconsciousness would be a fucking relief, even for a moment. But why waste one fucking second, one sweet drop, of her exquisite blood?
The dragon rutted harder, stirring my bloodlust higher. Since I couldn’t breathe, I used the newly forged bond gleaming in my head like a blistering sword wreathed in fire. Hopefully the alpha would hear it. :When does she fuck new Blood?:
A boulder slammed into the side of my head. Lightning crackled through my vision.
“You. Don’t. Touch.” He punctuated each word with another punishing punch, slamming my head to the ground. Though I still couldn’t get my face in the pooled blood that was quickly soaking into the dirt. A fucking travesty. “One fucking hair. On her head. Not without permission.”
No feast. No fuck. Not until she invited me. Fine. :Then fucking bring her back so she can give permission.:
“Motherfucker,” the dragon snarled in my ear, leaning hard on my shoulders to hasten my head popping off sooner in his alpha’s big hands. “Even I didn’t try to fuck her without permission.”
:Not that I mind in the slightest, but I don’t recall giving you permission.:
He roared, raking my flank with his claws. “Exactly!”
:Bring it the fuck on, dragon. I’ll fuck you all to get another taste of her.:
She made a choked sound again, and one of my vertebrae cracked, the alpha wrestling my chin past my shoulder.
