Fix Me Up (Unknown Succubus Series book 2)

Bedroom Bastard

This time when I woke up it was in a familiar bedroom inside of a familiar castle. Pangs of hunger clawed my insides and devoured my drowsiness. I was alone in my room and it was late. I hadn't fed from food or energy in a long time. A groan pried from my lips as I sat up. My feet hit the cold floor and I crossed the room towards the wardrobe. I changed out of the shirt and into a nightgown before sliding my feet into a pair of slippers.
"I look like a mess." I sighed after catching sight of my messy hair in a mirror. I left my room quietly and shuffled down the hall. Maybe a food snack would satisfy the hunger for now. Jasper would not appreciate me feeding from his people so I needed to control myself. I made it to the kitchen without any incidents along the way. There was a basket of apples on top of a box so I picked one up and bit into it. I finished my juicy snack quickly and left the kitchen. The soft pitter patter of my steps filled the silent halls.
   A hand reached out of the shadows and dragged me into a bedroom that was lit only by candles. My back slammed against the rough stone wall as the hand pushed flat across my stomach. The click of the door locking caused panic to rise in my gut.
    "What are you doing wandering around so late? And dressed so indecently? Do you want to be devoured, my lady?" Killian's voice caused my face to jerk up so that I could see his face. This was bad.
  "Not that it is any of your business but I was getting a snack. How I dress is none of your concern, now get away from me before I stop being so nice." I growled out angrily. The man made my blood boil. He was Jasper's friend so I had to control my anger and take the high road.
   "Just because our king is showing interest in you now does not change what you are. You're only entertainment, human. You won't gain status or titles for being the king's toy." Killian hissed with an air of superiority. He thought I was a human and only dragons held power in this world. Killian pushed his hand underneath my nightgown before he curled his fingers around my hip.
   "Remove your hand." I snarled viciously as my hands pushed at his chest. He grabbed my hands and pinned them to the wall above my head with his free hand. Killian dipped his head down and kissed my lips hard. The jerk was quick to deepen his kiss. I turned my head to break the kiss and he chuckled.
   "You taste like apples, human." Killian smiled down at me smugly. He used his grip on my hands to drag me across the room and toss me on to the bed like a rag doll. If he was so willing to use me then I had no problem turning the tables and feeding from him.
   "Someone really needs to teach you the proper way to handle a female." I spoke up in irritation at being treated so roughly. Killian could turn into a giant reptile at will but I was less than impressed with that ability by now. No one would get away with this behavior just because they were physically stronger. Killian pulled his shirt off and let it drop to the floor before advancing towards me. I hadn't bothered trying to get off the bed and make a run for the door. My stillness and angry glare seemed to surprise him slightly. Apparently humans from this world were much more fearful than I was. My hair was splayed across the messy furs beneath me and I probably resembled a furious child. I was sprawled across the bed with red cheeks and fast breathing from my anger.
Killian stopped at the edge of the bed and watched me intently. It was almost like he expected me to bolt for my freedom despite knowing he'd grab me before I made it off the bed. I was just a little mouse for him to play about with until he grew bored or got too rough. Slowly, he leaned down towards me with a pleased smirk. "Looks like you might be well trained after all. You aren't running and you only use words to fight back. What a good girl you are, human." Killian spoke smugly and my foot shot up to connect with his shoulder.
"Holy fuck!" I cursed as pain radiated up my foot and through my calf. Killian hadn't even budged from the force of my blow. Maybe I really was out of shape. He grabbed hold of my foot tightly and kept me from jerking it back. My nightgown slid down my leg to rest below my mid thigh. Killian used his free hand to move my other leg to the side as he climbed onto the bed. "Let go of me!" I demanded before kicking out again. Killian blocked my foot easily and roughly flipped me over.
"If you want to make things difficult I will certainly help and trust me when I say I will be enjoying myself either way." The asshole whispered into my ear. He used one hand on my back to keep me immobile and the other was on the mattress next to my head to maintain his balance above me. Rage bubbled beneath my skin as it became very clear I was trapped. My cheek was pressed into the soft fur on top of the bed and my hair blocked my vision entirely. Both of my arms were underneath me and my legs were incapable of doing anything other than kicking like a child having a tantrum.
"Fine. I'll behave." I ground out from between my clenched teeth. Killian let out an airy chuckle before leaning back and allowing me to roll onto my back. I pushed my tangled hair out of my face as he watched me closely.
"Do a good job and maybe I'll keep you around. If you impress me I might just give you a title myself, Aspen." Killian said with an expectant little smile. Surprise filled his gaze when my hands reached out to cup his cheeks. I sat up and pressed my lips to his. Almost instantaneously I gave in to my hunger and let myself feed. Tendrils of dark blue energy swirled around me to satiate my appetite. My hands slid up to knot in his dark hair. I deepened the kiss.
   My legs wrapped around him and suddenly I was sitting in his lap straddling him. His hands slid the bunched fabric of my nightgown up my thighs. When his grip weakened and his strength was gone I broke the kiss. Killian trailed his mouth across my neck with kisses and hungry little bites. He let me push him back on the bed with a satisfied smile covering his face. One of his hands reached up and grabbed onto my hair with surprising strength. Killian pulled my head back using his grip on my hair. A small noise of surprise and pain slipped past my lips.
   "You're going to be all mine." He whispered hungrily. Killian nuzzled into my neck before pushing my nightgown off of my shoulder. I shivered as my skin chilled in the cold air. Killian pressed a wet kiss to the curve where my neck sloped into my shoulder before sinking his teeth into my skin. He'd taken a pretty hefty chunk of me into his mouth. I gasped in shock and pain. Killian licked the warm blood from the fresh bite. I grabbed his face and pressed a rough kiss onto his bloodied lips. I pulled a large amount of his energy into me and he slumped unconscious beneath me.
   "Fucking hell that hurt." I grumbled as my skin began to heal thanks to the large amount of energy I'd taken from Killian. I'd fed quite a bit from him and he still wasn't dead. Jasper would be pissed if he found out. Luckily, Killian hadn't found out what I really was so, if I could manage getting back to my room without being seen I'd be in the clear. I climbed off of Killian's unconscious body and his bed. Silently, I fixed my disheveled hair and appearance before leaving his bedroom. I used my power to sense people's energy in the hallways. No one was wandering about just yet so I booked it for my own chambers.
   Once inside my room I kicked off my slippers. There was a growing patch of blood on the nightgown and I needed a believable story. I used one of the sharp hairpins on the vanity to stab my fingers and smear the blood on the front of my nightgown to make it appear as though I'd had a rather severe nosebleed. Afterwards, I stripped out of the nightgown and bathed quickly and thoroughly to get Killian's scent off of my body and hair. The bite had turned into an ugly looking bruise that would eventually fade away entirely. I dried off and put on a new nightgown before returning to my bed for the rest of the night. Killian sure was a bastard hit at least I'd been able to feed from him. I fell back asleep with a full stomach and freshly charged powers.
