Night Demons 2024 Version

04. Riorson

"Get away from my sister, Harlow." A loose snarl left my lips moments before I lunged at the woman going after my kid sister. The two of us collided and fell in a tangled mess against the forest flood, it was I who had come out as victor and I had her pinned against the ground. Her dagger had gone flying and now sat a few feet away from us.

My sister, Roma, stood just on the outskirts of the woodline and I was seething with her just as much as I was with the woman under me. Ghost pushed through, pushing me back into the confines of our mind as he let out a menacing growl. "I understand Roma coming out here, but dammit Phantom, you're smarter than this."

A whimper left our sister's throat, her demon responding to her brother. "Ghost that's not fair."

"Roma, I decide what's fair regarding my sister, especially when she's in danger." We didn't take our eyes off Harlow, even as he spoke. "I love you both, but this was stupid. Now get the fuck out of here and find some food that won't fight back."

Harlow snickered from under us, her tilted lips starting a fire within. I was only slightly aware that Roma had left, it was the woman under us that had the full attention of Ghost and I. "Are you two done? I'd quite like to get up out of this position." She bucked against our body, momentarily distracting us and giving herself the chance to push us off and roll. All within seconds, we were on our back with Harlow hovering above us, her blade in hand and pressing the edge against our throat.

There was a familiar burn to the blade and there was no doubt in my mind that it was one meant to kill us and cause us the most harm possible. I could feel my own fear mixing with Ghost as his hands twitched, but little miss princess had managed to pin our arms beside us as she straddles us and her body grazed parts we had only dreamed it would.

"Scared?" She whispered almost a little breathless.

"No," Ghost grunted.

"Are you sure? Because your eyes and body language tell me otherwise." She smirked down at us, batting her eyes in an innocent little look.

"You would if you felt the searing pain of the blade against your skin." Ghost growled out, though he didn't try moving our body. I know why though, this was just as much of a turn on for me as it was him. There was something about this woman and her bratty presence over us, straddling us with those hips we would kill to bury our head between.

"I don't feel a thing, see." She pulled the blade from our throat, sitting back on our heels and making the sex demon within us both growl for better contact. The friction of clothing was beginning to really piss Ghost and I off. She brought the blade to her tongue, giving us a dirty little smirk before licking off what little blood tinted the blade.

"Fuck me." Ghost purred as he got our hands free, letting them fly to Harlow's hips and dig into the leather. He rolled our hips against her, sending a hiss through her throat. "My little monster, we might need to put ourselves in this position more often."

There was a moment of hesitation before Harlow moved off of us, Ghost moving our body to crowd her space regardless of her wanting that space. He had us smirking down at her, those beautiful green eyes looking up at us through those thick lashes.

"I never knew you were a big brother." She whispered.

"She's fourteen." We answered. "Let your conscience win and don't try killing a kid."

"She wasn't a kid, she was a demon." She stated matter of factly.

"Harlow," My voice slipped through as Ghost eased into the back of our mind. "She's a kid first. Don't kill her just because she's a demon. She needs to eat just like the rest of us, I've taught her not to kill like the rest of us do. At least she takes in doses."

"I don't believe that." She spoke. "That's not possible. She had succubus blood running through her body, there's no way she can't feed without taking a soul."

"We found a way for her to feed without sex, do you really think it's impossible for us to find a way to feed without killing the poor chaps she chooses?" I groaned. "Hell she's the first of our kind to do that."

"If she's the first then how have you managed to help her." Harlow pushed.

I looked away. "Cause maybe she isn't the first and I've experimented first so my kid sister doesn't have to live with the idea of taking any more lives."

"That's almost respectable."

"Almost?" I looked back at her.

"Almost." She confirmed.

There was a sudden crackle of leaves, my mind going to full alert as I took a deep breath in, inhaling the surroundings around me. I was stepping away from Harlow, or well trying to as she thought better of it and grabbed me. Her back thudded against the nearest tree and her arms circled around my neck pulling my face down to connect our lips just as someone walked into the clearing.

"Princess?" The person called out.

Harlow turned her head from me, my forehead thumping against the side of her head as my hands found the curve of her hips. I pulled her closer to me, my body working without control as I began to leave little kisses against the groove of her collar bone.

My little monster sucked in a breath, her voice trembling as she spoke. "Don't tell my father, I sneak off for a secret rendezvous with my boyfriend. Our dear king wouldn't like the fact that he's not a hunter like the rest of us."

"But...but your dagger is drawn." He stammers.

She giggled. "He likes it rough, especially when I use my new toys on him. Now would you mind getting lost, he was being such a good boy."

Fucking hell, didn't know I had a good boy kink. Ghost groaned.

"Yes, Princess." He clambered. "Sorry, Princess, I'll take my leave now."

Harlow waited for him to leave before hesitantly pushing me off of her, my hands dropping to my side, Ghost was barely breaking the surface as the two of us itched to get back the contact of her skin. It set us on fire and every time she was around, every time she touched us, the two of us no longer held our body separately. We were one being both feeling and fronting as she lit our world into explosions.

"Why did you do that?" We whispered, shock rocking our body at the sudden realization. We don't have control, not fully. "You could have just let him see me and be done with it all, Amicus Ad Aras."

"There aren't a lot of things you boys know about me." She could tell when Ghost and I fronted together? We sucked in a deep breath, moving away from her as our minds ran. It was suddenly like she was made of fire and we didn't want to touch us. She could figure out when either of us fronted, yes, but she had never caught the combination until now.

"You're lucky." We gasped out, eyes darting around us. "We could have..." Kill you, we couldn't finish the words. We just let them hang in the air as we continued to back away from her, backing ourselves into the wooded line and watching her bring her hand up to trace her lips.

We were gone at the movement, running like our life depended on it.
