Chapter 52

***Rowan***

Me and the four other guys stand around Alicia watching some strange battle going on. She is looking straight ahead as if she can’t see us and her body keeps jerking at weird intervals.

“Shit her eyes,” Hale says sounding normal for once.

I never know what that guy is going to say.

“All of us need to touch her at the same time to bring her back. If she senses us, she always comes out of it. Even the darkness recognizes us.” Cayden explains.

I want to tell him that I’d do fucking anything if it means we can get her out of this, but her eyes change. She blinks once and her gray eyes are back but then another blink and they are black again. She keeps doing this several times.

“Now,” Cayden says but I throw my arm out stopping them.

“Wait. Somethings happening.” I tell them.

“No shit. She’s drowning in some dark force inside her own mind, and if we don’t stop this she won't come back!” The guy…Walker is what they called him says.

“I said wait!” I yell at him and shove him away when he tries to touch Alicia.

He moves to shove me back when a strong hand pulls me out of the way forcing Walker past me. His eyes widen before he collides with Alicia, but she grabs him around the throat before he can knock her over. Once he’s stopped she releases him making him stumble.

“Alicia?” Cayden says her name and her eyes snap to him. “Is it you?”

She looks like she can hear him but she doesn’t say or do anything.

“She’s still stuck somehow, but her eyes…”

I’ve never seen anything like it, but on her somehow…she looks otherworldly and dangerously beautiful. Her once-gray eyes have changed. Well one of them has. Now one of them is completely black while the other is her normal grey color.

“How?” Walker asks leading down so they are eye to eye.

She shifts her attention to him and looks at him without blinking. He reaches out and brushes his thumb across her cheek and her eyes flutter closed. Her body goes lax forcing him to wrap an arm around her so that she doesn’t tumble to the ground.

“Fuck she’s been passing out like this since that night. Something is going on. She shouldn’t have gone there twice in so many days.” Cayden says shaking his head.

Walker carries Alicia to her bed laying her down carefully and climbing off. We stand in a line looking down at her motionless body. She’s so beautiful even like this, but my worry for her has that thought out of my mind quick.

“What do we do? Her eyes. The darkness isn’t fully gone yet.” Hale says.

“There’s nothing we can do,” Cayden says with a sigh.

“Bullshit. You just said if we all touched her she would come back.” I remind him.

He gives me an unamused look. “That was when she was swallowed by the darkness. This…I’ve never seen this before. She has only ever been the darkness or herself never both at the same time.”

“We can’t just stand here and do nothing!” I can’t help but let my anger through.

All of this has pushed me to my breaking point and I’m done. I walk toward the bed and climb over Alicia’s body. The guys protest but I ignore them and focus on her. This is my fault. I told her to let go and then she got stuck in her darkness, but she had wanted me. If lust put her there I wonder if it could bring her back. Not ideal and I won’t go too far, just enough to get her attention.

I lean down and brush a kiss over her lips. There is a spark like I've been shocked but instead of pain, it sends a shiver through me all the way down to my dick. Fuck. Maybe I shouldn’t do this. No…she needs me to keep going. I kiss her again and the spark comes again. It’s stronger and makes me groan.

“Fuck.” I growl trying to keep myself under control.

“What?” One of the guys asks.

“She’s giving off some sort of spark and fuck…” I’m still feeling it.

“Let me see.” One of the guys…Cree says.

He climbs on the bed next to her and hovers nearby. I don’t want to move but I do so he can see what I mean. His lips barely brush hers but I see it. An electric spark comes from her when their skin touches. Cree groans and pulls away quickly.

“Wow. That’s dangerous.” He says with a growl and moves back.

“That’s new,” Hale says but chuckles when he sees Cree and I against the head of the bed.

We’re both tense and trying to hide some huge bulges.

“Laugh all you want, but you aren’t immune,” I tell his cocky ass.

“Maybe if I taste her skin instead.” He climbs over her and kisses down the side of her neck instead.

A wave of her sweet scent blasts around the room and all of us shake and stumble with various sounds of pain. Not the bad pain though.

“What the hell is she doing? Is trying to make us come from just touching her?” Walker growls.

It would be funny seeing him bent over road cloning to the dresser trying to act chill about this, but I’m painfully hard and need some kind of relief.

“Shit, this hurts,” I growl. “It’s like she’s forcing us to get hard so…”

Before I can finish what I’m saying her eyes open and lock onto Hale. He jolts back a little but she wraps an arm around his neck and pulls him closer. Their lips crash together and he moans. The sound makes my dick leak a little in my boxers. Fuck…

Hale lowers himself further on her and she wraps her legs around him. Her fingers dig into his hair and he lets out a groan.

“Should we leave because I won’t be able to watch this and not get off,” Walker says.

Again I want to laugh but I’m right there with him.

Alicia breaks the kiss and grabs on either side of Hale’s shirt pulling hard enough to rip it open and then she’s running her tongue across his chest. Her mouth moves across his skin to his neck and then she opens her mouth and bites. His eyes roll into the back of his head and he moans. While he’s unfocused Alicia rolls them with some otherworldly strength. She lifts herself onto her knees and my eyes bug out when a dark claw grows from her finger. She uses it to cut Hale’s pants away letting the tip run down his dick.

He shakes and groans but doesn’t look scared that she’ll slice the damn thing off. Once he’s free she tugs at her own clothes until they are shredded and thrown aside. I gape like an idiot when she lowers herself onto Hale with a moan. He grips at the sheets and curses in another language I don’t know until he’s full inside her. Once she is she stills and her eyes snap to me. I freeze in place and wait.

“Rowan.” Her voice is a sinful purr that makes me shiver. “Come here.”

I move to my knees and move closer to her. She lowers herself so her hands are holding her up and my crotch is face to face with her. Her eyes meet mine and she licks her lips making me groan. Damn is she wanting what I think she is?

“You boys don’t have a problem sharing right?” She asks breaking eye contact with me to glance over her shoulder.

Walker smirks at her. “You know I don’t baby girl.”

Cayden shakes his head. “It wouldn’t be their first-time sweetheart. Welcome back.”

She smiles. “Then stop playing and get over here.”

“Yes, ma’am.” He says.

He starts to strip and so does Walker. I’m a guy so this isn’t the first time I've seen another guy’s junk but being close like this is a first for me.

“Don’t look scared Rowan darling. No swords cross in this relationship. You guys are mine and even though you share, I don’t.” Alicia says with a purr.

“Yeah, sorry buddy I only ever want to be inside her sweet heat,” Walker says as he moves up behind her. “However sometimes you have to make a sacrifice.”

He lays himself over Alicia’s back and whispers into her ear. Whatever he says must affect her because Hale moans loudly.

“Stop messing with her or I’ll come. Just do it already!” Hale yells.

Alicia smiles up at me and reaches for me. She tugs my boxers down and fists my dick and then her lips are around me. I curse and try hard to not grab her and take over, but she licks the tip and I let go.

She’s in trouble now…
