What was wrong with him? Rune was sitting beside her as stiff as a man who’d stared Medusa in the eyes. He was going to crack if he didn’t relax a bit.
“At the next light, get out and run.”
She almost jumped at the sound of his voice in her head. What the hell? What was going on?
She glanced his way, but he wasn’t looking at her, rather he was watching out the front window. Hadyn knew better than to ask. He’d used telepathy for a reason. Casually, she turned to gaze back out her window, subtly scooting nearer to the door and unclicking her seatbelt. Ready to move.
Rune’s tension telegraphed through her own nerves, tightening her muscles as she prepared to make a break for it. Three times they came up on a light only to shoot on through each time when it changed to green at their approach. Finally, they caught a red, and the driver pulled to a stop.
Rune didn’t even tell her to go. With a jerk, she pulled the door handle, shoving her shoulder into it.
Only it didn’t open.
Locked.
The repeated click of Rune trying his door on the other side sounded. Then he snorted. “Oh, lady,” he said to the cabbie. “You are about to have a bad fucking night.”
The woman in the driver’s seat, separated from them by a plexiglass window, said nothing.
“What is she?” Hadyn asked in a low voice.
“Someone who thinks she’s the top of the food chain.”
Which didn’t answer her question. About now it would be nice to have those enhanced senses, dang it. The fact that Rune wasn’t freaking out was the biggest reason she wasn’t freaking out. Yet.
“Stop and let us out here, and I’ll forget this happened,” Rune said. Calm, but even an idiot should’ve caught the rage building.
“And miss this opportunity to drain a dragon?” the woman mused in a husky voice that had Hadyn’s lady parts suddenly perking up.
While she could always appreciate female beauty, she’d never batted for her own team. But something about this woman… Despite Hadyn’s usual sexual proclivities, her body was turning languorous even as her heart rate sped up.
What was wrong with this picture?
“What are you?” Hadyn asked. A rude question, but they were being kidnapped so forget manners.
“You are too delicious,” the woman purred to Hadyn. “I’m going to enjoy every second of fucking you.”
Succubus. The word slithered through Hadyn’s mind.
A demon who’d assumed a beautiful woman’s form. They lived off the life energy of human males, typically. Drugging them with sexual vibes before fucking them, but that act of sex allowed the creature to essentially suck the man dry of his life essence. No one seemed entirely sure how it worked, or why. The prevailing theory was that the link between people’s souls was strongest during sex, and the succubus used that connection to drain their victim of his or her soul.
“I’ve never encountered a succubus before,” Hadyn managed to mumble, almost singsongy.
She should be scared or angry or determined to get away. Instead, an odd fascination had her studying what she could see of the woman’s profile, visible in each passing streetlight. The succubus was incredibly lovely now that Hadyn took a closer look. Creamy skin, lush lips drawn up in a smile that promised all sorts of sexual delights.
Hadyn’s nipples tightened, turning almost uncomfortably hard against the soft lining of her sports bra.
“She’s not a dragon,” Rune snarled.
Only Hadyn’s head and body were turning fuzzy with wanting, falling into that hazy place of pure desire where all she could do was focus on the sensations buffeting her. Didn’t the succubus have to touch her for this to work? Apparently not.
“She’s close enough that her soul will be…” The woman hummed in her throat, a sound of pure anticipation “…luscious.”
“You really do have a death wish,” Rune was growling now, the sound rumbling from his chest and vibrating her seat back.
The purely predatorially protective sound only managed to send Hadyn’s blood pumping through her harder. Her entire focus moved to the man at her side, and images of what he’d been doing to her on the boat before that kid had arrived. Her hand, of its own accord, slipped into her pants so she could rub at the nub of nerves that had set to pulsing, fingers turning slick.
“Don’t worry, big boy,” the succubus purred. “I have plans for you, too. No one will miss a rogue.”
A wave of sexual energy filled the car, pounding through Hadyn and she moaned, rubbing at her clit harder, the smell of sex filling the car.
“Fuck.” She was vaguely aware of Rune’s muttered word.
A glance over showed him with his cock out of his pants, hand wrapped around the thick base of it, squeezing so hard the head turned purple. Her body, all heady need and wanton pleasure, responded to the blatant display convulsively, and Hadyn did exactly what she wanted to. She leaned over and wrapped her lips around his cock.
A hum of appreciation escaped her at the same time that Rune’s groan filled the car. He was steel and velvet against her tongue, the musky scent of his body only sending her need higher. His hand moved out of the way and she took more of him into her mouth and sucked. His groan vibrated in her mouth.
“Whoa,” the succubus said up front. “You two must’ve already been on the edge.”
Hadyn ignored her, needing more of Rune. Only her seatbelt was in the way, unbuckled but wrapped around her. She sat up to fumble at it with fingers made awkward, Rune doing the same.
“Slow down there,” the succubus sounded suddenly angry, her voice not quite so sexy.
Whatever.
Hadyn slapped at Rune’s hands, and he chuckled, the sound sinfully dark. She finally got the restraint off her. Without even thinking of moving, she found herself on her knees on the bench seat, mouth wrapped around his cock, desperate desire diving her now.
“Fuck, yes,” Rune groaned. “Just like that, love. Take every fucking inch I feed you.”
Cool air hit her ass, then his fingers were delving into her slick folds. Two fingers slid into her at the same time that his thumb found her clit. She whimpered around the thick cock filling her mouth and leaned into the touch.
Immediately he pressed harder. “Is this how you like it?” he demanded.
“Oh no, you don’t, my lovelies,” the succubus was hissing now. “Not without me.”
The sexual vibes clotting the car suddenly disappeared, the sensation abrupt, like being doused in frigid water. With a gasp Hadyn jerked her head up to stare Rune in the eyes, visibly watching as the lust that had consumed them both disappeared only to be replaced by black flames of pure fury.
