Monsters Below (The Creatures We Crave Book 2) Page 3


  And this was exactly what I’d had in mind for our morning. I knew Kylo had been able to help absorb some of the raw energy inside of Alexandra when it was too much for her to handle. Based on her words from last night, she was full to the brim with it now. I didn’t want her overflowing and going back to the place of pain we’d seen her in the day before, and I knew one sure-fire way to ensure she didn’t.

  Leaning my head down, my nose tickled as I brushed it over her soft hair. My cock twitched in my pants as I inhaled, her citrusy-vanilla scent filling my nose. I stifled a groan, an act I realized I’d been doing more often than not around her. Shifting against the pressure of my straining cock in my pants, I imagined the look of her beautiful, soft lips wrapped around me. As beautiful an image as it was, I got off way more on giving her pleasure. It was so damn satisfying.

  I wanted to lick, suck, and devour her, working my way from her lips, over the sensitive skin of her neck, and down to the swell of her breasts. My tongue darted out to wet my lip as I thought of rolling my tongue around her hard nipples. I would stroke her heat, driving her to the very edge of pleasure before backing off again, making her beg me to continue.

  I wouldn’t immediately give her what she wanted, though. I’d tease her with slow, languid thrusts, waiting for her to buck her hips, trying to control the pace as she sought to soften the edge of pleasure she rode. Only then, as her back arched for me and her lips parted, panting frustrated breaths, would I give in.

  My cock was hardened to a painful level as I imagined giving Alexandra the release she most definitely needed. I just had to be patient a little bit longer, waiting until she woke up to help lessen the power simmering within her. Or did I?

  Eyeing Elwin over her head, I took note of the steady, soft snores puffing from between his slightly parted lips. He was out. Of everyone, Kylo was the wild card, but the risk was one I was willing to take. I found myself loving the idea of someone waking up to find us anyway.

  I’d throw those lean legs of hers over my shoulders and wake her up. She’d scream my name, alerting my brothers to just how well our girl was being taken care of. Or maybe I wanted to see her eyes flare with lust before she buried her face in a pillow to keep from waking up Kylo and Elwin once she realized the predicament I’d put her in.

  My brow hitched up at that last image in my head. Fuck yes. If the library was any indication, I had a feeling my angel would love to be back in a situation where the fear of almost getting caught added to her pleasure. Her cheeks would flush with the perfect mixture of embarrassment and wanton need, and I would push her over the edge, reveling in the way she gave into her desires with me, trusting that I’d be there to catch her when she fell. If I thought for a moment that any of us wouldn’t be okay with a little bit of exhibition and voyeurism, I’d never take it to this level.

  I’d gotten the briefest taste of heaven with her in the library, though, and I was a damn addict now, craving that next moment of ecstasy she provided me. The thrill of the situation was an added perk.

  Fuck it. My control was slipping with each passing moment. And who was I to deny my angel an early morning orgasm in lieu of an alarm clock? She’d been through a lot recently, and while I wasn’t a doctor, I was pretty sure orgasms could help ease stress and lighten the energy she was carrying around inside of her. If anything, they damn sure couldn’t make anything worse.

  Easing my arm out from under her, I pushed up slowly. I let her slip gently onto her back, trying not to wake her–I couldn’t go and ruin all the fun just yet. Inching down the bed, I paused when Kylo let out a grumble and turned over, facing the window. Stilling until I heard the steady sounds of his deep breathing, I kept my eyes on Elwin and Alexandra to ensure they weren’t disturbed by my movements either.

  Once I felt confident no one was awake, I shimmied down to the small area between Alexandra’s slightly parted legs and pulled the blanket up and over me until I was hidden beneath it. Time to play.

  Trailing my fingers lightly up her inner thighs, I pressed on them gently, widening her position until I could lay comfortably on my chest between them. Satisfied with her position, I slid down and drew her legs over my shoulders, one at a time. Never before had I been so damn thankful for my excellent vision, easily tracking every soft curve of her body in the muted darkness beneath the blanket. The too-long shirt I’d given her rode up to rest against her hips, exposing her perfect pussy to me.

  Bringing my nose right to her, I inhaled deeply before darting my tongue out to swirl around her clit in a whisper of a touch. Delectable.

  A shiver ran through her as her legs widened further naturally. I couldn’t tell if she was awake yet, but I had a feeling I’d know when she was. Bringing my left hand up, I traced softly over her swollen clit before closing my lips over it and sucking lightly, applying varying pressure every few seconds.

  The lightest moan came from her as I applied even more pressure to her clit, and I couldn’t help but smirk as I felt her legs jerk, tightening around my neck. I could just make out the hitch in her breathing followed by a shallow gasp as her hands ghosted over my head hidden beneath the blankets. As quickly as the pressure of her hands appeared, it was gone, and I knew without a doubt that she’d awoken.

  I let the hot air from my mouth spread over her as I whispered, “Shhh,” and pushed my head up so she could see me beneath the comforter. Her hands fisted in the sheets at her side as her mouth parted, like she was barely holding back her sounds of pleasure. Shooting her a smirk, I took in her pink cheeks and shocked expression before returning to the task at hand.

  A strangled gasp fell from her lips as I flicked the tip of my tongue over her quickly, with only the lightest pressure. The slightly muffled sounds of her moans told me she was doing exactly what I pictured, holding a pillow over her mouth or biting into it.

  Fuck, I almost came on the spot at the image of it. I couldn’t wait to fill her with my cock while in another potentially compromising situation. This was incredible, I couldn’t imagine the waves of desire that would accompany that tantalizing scenario. Though, I would fuck her where there was a chance that only one of my brothers could see us. While I loved the thought of someone watching us, I knew I was way too damn possessive of her to let anyone besides Kylo or Elwin see her like that.

  The thought had me letting out a soft growl against her. Her body was ours alone to view and worship. Her delicious fucking moans and gasps of pleasure were for our ears only.

  Feeling her legs tightening more, I knew I needed to switch this up, to show her I wasn’t going to let this end quickly. Slipping my tongue lower to trace over the wet heat waiting for me, I brought my thumb to her clit and rubbed it with firm, circular movements. Needing to taste more of her, I pressed my tongue straight into her slick pussy. Languidly, I thrusted in and out of her, reveling in the taste. I could spend fucking hours between her legs and never want a reprieve from it.

  This was heaven—I was sure of it.

  After a few moments, I withdrew my tongue and quickly sucked on a finger before easing it into her, stretching her tight walls. Curling my finger up, I slowly thrust it in and out of her, pulling muffled moans from her. Running my tongue back up to her clit slowly, I savored the moment.

  Her hips bucked with need, impatience roaring through her just like I’d anticipated. At that moment, I felt like it would take nothing to make me come as well. The tension of the situation only kept me edging throughout. I ached for release, wanted to come with her so damn badly, but I wasn’t going to ask her to do anything for me. Not when this was about her.

  The thought of her coming for me tore a growl from me, and it vibrated through her pussy as I doubled down, tongue fucking her clit with feral intensity as I slipped another finger into her. Her walls clenched around me tightly, and I slung my free arm over her hips to hold her down as she tried to grind against me.

  My body suddenly felt so alive. An exuberant energy and strength flowed, and the sensation of being able to take on an entire army alone swelled up within me. Was this the feeling Kylo got when he fed off of the energy from her as she orgasmed?

  Her stifled scream of release had me smirking as I continued to stroke her and lick her clit, knowing she’d be overly sensitive. Soon enough, her hands drifted under the comforter and smacked the top of my head lightly as she hissed, “Lucien, get up here!"

  I couldn’t help but grin at her unashamedly as I popped my head out from under the comforter, loving the way her eyes fluttered as she glanced between Kylo and Elwin. Following her gaze, I gave myself a self-satisfied mental pat on the back for pulling this off. The fuckers were still sleeping. I truly thought at even the softest sound of her moans, they would snap awake. I know I sure as shit would.

  Swinging her focus back to me, her eyes bugged out slightly as she whisper-yelled, “I can’t believe you did that in the bed with them here!”

  Climbing up to pin her body beneath mine, I stroked her cheek softly, loving the feel of her smooth skin beneath my fingers. I tucked a strand of hair behind her ear before leaning down to whisper, “Tell me you didn’t love it, and I’ll never do it again, angel. Tell me it didn’t arouse you to have to hide it, to keep them from waking up and seeing you coming all over my fingers and face.”

  A breathy sigh escaped her lips, and I grinned in victory before the words even left her mouth. “I’d be a liar if I said that.”

  “I know, angel, I know,” I rumbled out before nuzzling into her neck, nipping lightly before pressing kisses to the tender spots immediately after.

  Her giggles as she squirmed beneath me caused Kylo to eventually roll over and groggily look at us. “How do you both possibly have this much energy so early?” he asked, voice thick with sleep and hair sticking up
at the top.

  Pulling back to look Alexandra in the face, I waggled my brows suggestively before we both burst into laughter. We knew exactly why there was so much energy between us.

  “You’re crazy,” she murmured, grinning at me with so much damn affection pooling in her lavender eyes that I barely restrained myself from capturing her lips once more.

  Kylo cut in before I could manage an answer. “If you respond with ‘crazy for you,’ I’m likely to throw up.”

  Narrowing my eyes threateningly at him, I hissed out, “That’s not what I was going to say. What do you take me for, bland and unoriginal?”

  That absolutely was what I was going to respond with, but he doesn’t have to know that. Especially since he ruined the moment. I swore he lived to ruin my fun at times, though it was typically when I was being particularly bloodthirsty. Like the time he tattled on me to Alexandra when I asked the woman at her dorm room door where I could find Chloe. I could have settled that issue before she even woke—Alexandra never needed to know.

  But no, apparently I couldn’t just kill each individual that offended our girl in this world. I was missing our alternate reality more and more in that regard. There had been no rules or constraints on my bloodlust there.

  “Morning,” Elwin tossed out as he stretched his arms far above his head on our other side, “I’m gonna go take a shower and get ready for class. Any requests for breakfast?”

  Looking at the clock on the nightstand, I grinned in victory at the realization that we still had time for an actual home-cooked meal before we needed to head out. “Pancakes, please, mommy.”

  Elwin fake gagged in response as he rolled out of bed and headed to the ensuite shower. “I thought we agreed you’d never call me that again. You know, incest and all that with you claiming to be daddy.”

  We definitely had, but it was too fucking funny to give up at this point.

  “You’re both fucking weird,” Kylo joked on his way out before announcing he was going to use the shower upstairs.

  A poke came at my stomach, drawing my focus to Alexandra. Arching a brow at her in question, she curled her finger toward her, gesturing for me to get closer. Melding my body to hers, I tried to resist the urge to grind my still hard cock against her. Fuck, I wanted so desperately for her to wrap her still-spread legs around me.

  “Yes, angel?” I inquired, breathing out against her lips.

  Her eyes sparkled with the light streaming in as she fluttered her lashes before looking up at me from beneath them. “Why do you always get me off but never allow me the opportunity to return the favor? I want to.”

  Her bottom lip protruded, pouting in the sexiest kind of way. Almost on their own accord, my hips grinded against her pussy in response. I dropped my head into the pillow next to her face as I groaned. “Fuck, angel. I want you to, but I never wanted to rush you.”

  “They’re gone, and I want to please you too,” she whispered, shoving against my chest until I rolled off of her and onto my back. A rush of shocked air bursts from lips at the authoritative glint in her eye.

  I loved seeing this confident and forward side of her. Her sudden need for control was a pleasant surprise, and I found that it felt natural to switch the roles between us like this.

  The door to the ensuite bathroom was still open, and I knew Elwin wouldn’t take long in there. “You’ve gotta finish me off before he’s done, angel,” I challenged, loving the way her eyes lit with desire.

  Trailing her nails down my chest and over my abdomen, she curled them under the waistband of my pants. With an easy smile, she sassed back, “No problem.”

  Our lives may be complicated as fuck, but this was the one thing I knew we were all sure of—our love. And damn it all to hell if we wouldn’t take moments for ourselves to enjoy it.

  Chapter Four

  ALEXANDRA

  Never in my life had I considered myself a necessarily bold person, with the exception of when I was in my stories. I’d relished the fact that in them, I could be anything I wanted without fear of retaliation or judgment. Staying hidden and off anyone’s radar was way more my speed.

  However, there was something about knowing the fate of billions of lives rested on your shoulders that suddenly made each passing moment feel so much more important. I didn’t want to waste a single second with my monsters. I wanted everything they had to give me, both physically and mentally. They’d proven over the years that they were worthy of my heart and body, and everything I’d seen since they came to my reality only cemented that fact.

  Lucien was a fucking wild card, filling my life with excitement that kept my heart racing and my pussy throbbing. He pulled out a spontaneous and untamed side of me that I was beginning to love more and more. Growing up, each day of my life had felt so damn monotonous, full of disappointment and vile humans, but now…now each day was an adventure.

  As I perched on top of him, straddling his legs and running my nails across the lower expanse of his abdomen before dipping under the waistband of his pants, I forced myself to take a breath and relax. While I’d shared this type of intimacy with Elwin, it wasn’t necessarily me who had been in control then. He’d completely owned me at that moment, taking what he wanted from me with my easy submission. But with Lucien, I wanted to flex my comfort levels and explore him at my own pace, under my own authority.

  Nibbling on my lower lip, I looked at him coyly from beneath my lashes as I tugged his shorts down enough for his erect cock to spring up. Instinctively, I licked my lips and reached out to wrap my hand around the thick base. It was a bit daunting, and I couldn’t help but wonder how I’d taken Elwin in my throat since they seemed similar in size. Fuck, I hope I don’t scratch him with my teeth.

  His immediate groan in response to my touch emboldened me to begin stroking him up and down. I let my worries fall by the wayside as I lowered my lips to his tip, keeping my eyes locked on his as I did. His eyes never strayed, completely locked on my mouth as I took him in and swirled my tongue as slowly and lightly around his tip as he’d done to my clit. It had driven me crazy, and I had a suspicion this would drive him just as mad. I couldn’t deny that I loved the idea of making him ache for his release as badly as I had.

  The power of being in control of his body right now was intoxicating.

  A feral growl ripped from his mouth as he warned, “Oh, angel, if you want to play tit for tat, it’s going to be so much more excruciating next time. That isn’t a warning–it’s a promise.”

  I wasn’t sure if his intention with that promise was to actually get me to stop or to spur me on to continue. I chose the latter of the two options.

  I arched a brow and widened my eyes in a look that screamed, ‘bring it,’ and began to suck lightly on him, licking up the pre-cum that waited for me. Bobbing my head an inch or so up and down, I flattened my tongue along the underside of his cock, loving the way his eyes rolled back in his head as he banged it softly against the pillow beneath him.

  “Fuck, I might call you angel, but that mouth is sinful,” he breathed out, and my pussy clenched at his words. I was still wet from my orgasm, and I couldn’t deny that bringing him pleasure brought my own desire roaring back to life, as if my needs hadn’t already been met moments before.

  There was something so incredibly provocative about watching your partner come undone with the touches you gave. It was as intimate as a musician playing a certain note, knowing the exact outcome it would produce. You tuned in with your lover's body, and I couldn’t help but think how incredibly beautiful it was. Erotic, but beautiful. Two souls entwined in such a way that each knew the exact notes necessary to make the other sing. The sheet music was embedded in your heart, and only you could read it, because the music was yours to understand and explore.

  Relaxing my throat the way Elwin taught me, I took more of Lucien into me, loving the feeling of the thick vein on the underside of his cock brushing against my tongue. I moaned lightly around it, and he hissed out in pleasure. He pressed his hips up, pushing further into my throat and making my eyes bulge at the width of him.
