Hidden Flame 54

Avery**
When Clint and I returned from the college library, we went to a restaurant and had lunch before we made it into our
tribal lands. Everybody kept looking at us. Clint shrugged and told me that everyone recognizes nobility, but I still didn’t
like how they looked at me with their judgemental eyes. Regina didn’t either because I felt her pacing. I hurriedly ate and
told Clint that I was just very hungry when in reality I just wanted to get back home.
It was still early afternoon when we got to the palace. We had about two hours before the others would be home. “I think
it is time that we left pick up where we left off at the library,” Clint says as a sly smile creeps across his luscious lips.
I bite my lip as I raise an eyebrow, “Oh?”
He laughs as he picks me up and carries me to his room. He reaches around his television and presses a button. The wall
shifts to reveal a hidden room. I gasp before he kisses me. It is an erotic playroom like the ones I had read about in some
of my books. He sits me down, “Avery, this isn’t a requirement. I just wanted you to see a part of me. I will never make
you do anything.”
“I know. I have read about some of this and I don’t think a lot will be okay for me. But we could start out slowly.”
He smiles before he goes over to a drawer and pulls out a blindfold. He walks over to me and lowers it over my eyes as
he says, “Lights out, little mate. Just say red and everything will stop. I love you.” Before I could say it back, he kissed me.
I felt his hands slowly remove my clothes as he continued kissing me. He pulled back and sucked in a breath as he
lowered my panties. I couldn’t see anything but I could smell, hear, and feel it all.

The Mate Bond has become so strong as if it is its own entity. I want to experience everything with Avery, but I had
planned on waiting to show her my secret playroom but Carter doesn’t want to. I think something we read at that library
has spooked him. Honestly, it has me a bit too so we need to just forget about it for a bit.

I stood there with a blindfold covering my eyes, waiting. Just…waiting. Every noise makes me jump or gasp. The
anticipation and darkness heighten every sense too. I know that he is in charge and that I am at his mercy, but I don’t feel
as vulnerable as I thought that I would. Instead, I feel as if I have power. I can say one word and everything stops even if
he’s enjoying himself. However, I don’t think that I will say it because I want to experience what he is going to do to me.
For what seemed like an hour, every touch upon my skin was gentle, loving, and…teasing. He did not touch my clit or
finger me. No pinched nipples or even pulled hair. Gentle and firm strokes of his hands only. At the end of the hour of so
much attention, I begged for an orgasm as my body trembled. He slowly slid into me as we kissed. I think how he made
love to me like this made it powerful because it was so gentle.
As he pumped through our climax, he slid the blindfold off of my eyes. His blue eyes twinkled with love and satisfaction.
It was as good for him as it was for me and I definitely want to do it again too. However, we ran out of time because I
heard the front door open. Sharing one last kiss, Clint and I said goodbye to our secret playroom. We quickly got dressed
and went to tell the others what we had learned.

As Avery is telling my brothers about our trip to the library, I feel their anxiety and fear. They like me think that a huge
threat even greater than an uprising is looming. How can we tell Avery? Most importantly, how can we keep her safe?
Avery busied herself in the kitchen. During that time, my brothers and I set the table. We also went over possible threats
and ways to combat them. But magic, magic is something that’s highly unpredictable and impossible to know what to do
unless the precise moment arises. Avery brought out our plates and we all sat down to eat. However, as we were eating
Avery stopped. She dropped her fork as her eyes glazed over. She said, “Blackbriar, Sagittarius,” before her head crashed
to the table.
**Just outside of Naga’s territory in the tiny town of Blackbriar a threat emerges**
**Avery**
This is so odd. I can see everything as if I am here, but when I look behind me I see my head down on the table. The Trio
comes to me and holds me. They kept saying, “Blackbriar, Sagittarius.” Blackbriar must be where I am. I look up and see a
full moon nearly reaching its apex and I hear voices. I drift towards them. A group of hooded figures is standing in a circle
with a man in its center. He’s a bit older than me by a few years. He has medium-length dark hair and piercing hazel eyes.
I hear a member of the group ask the man in the center if he is ready. They call him Draven and he says that he’s ready
for his fated Tiamat.
What is going on? I am a descendant of hers, but I have found my fated…my Trio. I look back and see them crying. I am
fine and I am not going anywhere. But how can I let them know that? I can’t contact Regina for some reason. Maybe I
could lay in my body even for a moment and let them know that I am fine. I managed to say the word vision before I was
thrust out of my body again. Hang in there boys, I will be home soon.
