Blood Prize (Bloody Dance #1) (17 page)

Anger boiled inside of me. I could feel my rage pressing against me. My powers flared, the black flame engulfed my body. Walking forward I watched as the lesser demons that were close burned. They turned to dust just by touching my aura.

I held up my palm towards Kenji. The flames that had surrounded my body started to move towards my hand. This would be the final blow for him. The faces of the people I loved passed in front of my eyes. The people that Kenji had taken from me gave me strength. All of my power, my strength was going to a single point in my body.

My palm felt as if it was on fire; the raw power burned my hand as if I was holding coal. I could feel a drain on myself as if my very life force was going into this attack. I would kill him, I told myself that again. For Shu and his family, I would kill him, for Kaleb my friend, my first, and dearest friend I would end generations of pain with the death of this demon.

“Die,” I whispered, and released the blast of pure raw dark energy at Kenji. Thousands of tiny cuts formed on my palm as the energy released in a big black ball of light. It shot from my palm at the speed of a bullet going across the field killing the grass, and denting the ground as the massive ball of dark energy passed by. Human, demon, everything that was in its past was turned to ash.

Kenji laughed standing there as if the power coming towards him was no threat. His hands were held out. I frowned when the energy reached him, but he was actually stopping the blast. I could see smoke at his palms as it pushed him backward.

Giving the blast more energy, I wasn’t even sure where this power was coming from. Wasn’t sure where I was finding this strength. Maybe it was them feeding me. Maybe it was everyone that Kenji had killed in the past energy and life going into me.

We all wanted one thing. We all wanted the same thing.“Die!” I yelled releasing the last bit of strength that was inside of me. The blast overtook Kenji, I could hear him screaming, but I couldn’t see him through the black light that I had released. Falling to my knees, Soji rushed over to me.

“Zero!” Soji yelled as he reached me. I was panting as I tried to regain myself. My body was weak after that attack. I felt lightheaded. I needed blood, sleep, and who knows what else. Still Soji pressed his lips to mine and I felt like tomorrow was going to be okay. It was over, I did it. I could return to Rai and tell her Kenji was dead.

Struggling to my feet with Soji’s help I heard laughed. I tried to push Soji behind me, but huge snakes made of blood wrapped around him. The black light finally faded and I could see Kenji in his demon form.

He had the head of a human with a mouth full of pointed teeth though he still looked like himself. His body was that of a snake’s with six set of arms. He was massive, as his body coiled around Soji. I could see the pain in Soji’s eyes. I watched as he mouthed the words ‘Help me’ before he went limp.

“Soji!” I yelled and tried to rush forward, but someone grabbed me stopping me from moving. I turned around to weak to fight against the hold on me. “Ban,” I whispered when I saw him then darkness came.

TWENTY-SIX

Sitting in the back of a club I watched the woman on stage. I came here for the last three days to see her. The way she moved was enchanting. She danced across the stage with a grace few people had. Men gathered in this club every night just to see her.

I wanted her, only it wasn’t her body that I wanted. What I wanted from her was the sweet liquid that rested in her veins that lured me to this place. The fog of hunger was lingering over me. It wasn’t as dense as it normally was. Maybe that was why I didn’t take her. I was doing my best to fight back the urge.

Yesterday she had worn a bright, happy smile as she dance in a white tutu. It had been a happy song that played as she pranced around the stage. Today she wore a much darker expression. The black tutu that she wore spoke of the darker character she was portraying.

“Why are you here, Natsu?” I turned to see Ban at the table with me. He picked up a glass of wine that he must have brought with him. I watched as he took a drink before lowering the glass back to the table. His eyes shifted from me to the stage.

“What do you want?” It had been nearly thirty years since I last saw Ban. We had been in some cave to get out of the downpour. Now he found me again. I could feel his hand on my thigh. His fingers pushed up my leg as I swallowed down the pleasure he brought.

“I missed you.” He leaned over to whisper this in my head. His fingers skillfully unbuttoned my pants. Ban pressed his hand down inside. I gasped bending forward towards the table. Why was he doing this here? There were so many people around anyone could catch us.

“I will slaughter you one day,” I whispered to him as his fingers squeezed around my prick. A moan parted my lips as he started to stroke me. His fingers moved along my length causing me pleasure that only this man ever brought me.

“Say you missed me too, Natsu.” His lips were at my ear as he nipped at me. I shook my head clenching my jaw together so my voice didn’t betray me. He only laughed softly his fingers moving faster along my length.

“Ban,” I hissed out his head my head resting on the table. I could feel his lips pressing against my neck. His fingers felt amazing as he continued to move them along me. I wanted to tell him to stop. Wanted to scream at him for doing something like this here.

I couldn’t find my words. Ban grabbed my arm. He pulled me over onto his lap. I could feel the bulge in his pants as he kept stroking me. Everyone in this place was still looking at the stage. None of them was paying Ban and I any attention.

“Is she the reason? Is that why you’ve come here for the last three nights.” His voice was low as he spoke in my ear. There was a pause as his fingers unwrapped from around me. He made a fuss with our clothes. Soon I could feel him pulling my pants down further. His cock pressed against my hold.

There was a moment of resisted before he penetrated me. I bit down on my lip so I didn’t make a sound. The pain and pleasure of him entering my body sent me over the edge. My hips started to move on their own accord. Even as I demanded them to stop, I was no longer in control of this body. This body belonged to Ban now.

His fingers wrapped around me again as my hips rocked on top of him. His free hand pushed up my shirt to rest against my stomach. He was holding me to his chest. My heart was racing. Any moment now someone could turn around and see us. If they look this way they would know what Ban and I were doing.

I prayed they watch the show. That they watch the black swan on the stage. If any of them tried to stop Ban, he would slaughter than all and then finish what he started with me. He couldn’t have her though. She was mine. I wanted her blood for myself.

“Yes,” I answer him. Yes, I came here for her. He laughed softly kissing my shoulder through the shirt that I had on. He was so big, I could feel him filling me completely. He started to rock his hips softly. I was sure that his goal was to drive me insane. I felt as if I was losing my mind. Ban liked that though, he wanted me to get lost in him.

“Shall we eat together then?” I turned to look at him. His face was so close to mine. He wanted to . . . Eat with me. That would mean killing everyone here. “Eat with me, Natsu.” His words were soft, his voice luring, his cock hard.

I flicked my tongue out licking his lip. I wanted to eat. I could feel the hunger. It was pressing against me demanding that I eat. If I ate with Ban, we would kill every human in this club. My eyes shifted to the woman on the stage. I didn’t come here to watch her dance. The reason I was here was so I could feed on her. Because her blood called to me.

Ban thrusted upward inside of me. It made a small moan part my lips. He was moving faster as the sound of our bodies connecting started to turn a few heads towards us. I nodded looking back to the woman. I was hungry. So I would eat. Starting with her.

My eyes flew open as I held still. Looking around the room I never have been in before. There were windows with bars on it. There was a door a few feet away. I tried to sit up but found that I couldn’t. Looking up my wrist was chained to a bed.

It only took another moment to notice that my ankles were bound as well. My clothes seemed to be missing and I didn’t have a clue where I was. The last this I remembered was . . . Ban. He never took me with him before. Why was this time different? This time Kenji had Soji.

I couldn’t stay here. I had to help Soji. I had to leave before they did something awful to him. Before they killed him in order to bring the Night of Demon. I struggled to get free. My arms pulling at the chains as my legs tried to kill. These were no normal chains. Of course Ban knew better than to use normal chains when holding me prisoner.

“Be still, Natsu,” Ban spoke and my head snapped to the side. Deeper in the room on the other side of the door was a table. I could see Ban sitting at the table. He was facing the bed as he had a glass of wine in his hand.

Kenji was on his knees in front of him. It wasn’t hard to tell what Kenji was doing. His head bobbed up and down as Ban watched me. What was this? I could feel anger and annoyance boil inside of me. Why was I angry though. Because I was chained up or because Kenji was touching Ban. Maybe both.

“You’ll get your turn, Natsu.” I didn’t want a turn, or maybe I did. I squeezed my eyes shift struggling against the chain again. Just like the first time it got me nothing.

“Where is Soji?” I asked Ban eyes were locked with him. His fingers were shoved into Kenji’s hair as he guided the Blood Demon head along his cock. I could see him holding Kenji down as Kenji gagged on his length.

“You don’t have to worry about the white mage.” Ban kicked Kenji away from him standing up. I looked towards Kenji. He was glaring at me as he rubbed the back of his hand across his mouth. Ban walked towards the bed I was attached to. I could hear my heart pick up. I knew the pleasure that Ban could bring.

He was already as naked as I. He was standing at attention as he kneeled on the bed. Ban’s hand ran up my inner thigh. I shivered at his touch. The familiar tingle of pleasure running down my spine. Why did I want this man so much?

“Where is Soji?” My voice was much weaker than I meant it to be. He had this effect on me as his hands explored my body. What did he need to explore for? Ban knew every inch of me. He’s mapped the paths my body took a long time ago. Over the last two hundred years, he had it memorizing.

I could feel his tongue following those pathways. It made it impossible to think. “Where is he? What have you done with him?” I had to stay focus. It was hard to remember the ‘him’ in question. Ban's tongue flicked over my neck before he bit into my flesh.

The pain gave way to the pleasure just as it always did. I gasped my hips pushing forward into him as he drank from me. I should have been putting up a fight. There was never much of a fight when Ban had me like this. We both wanted this.

When he pulled back, I could see my blood on his lips. He gave me his perfect smile before he kissed me. I could taste my blood on his tongue. It tasted bitter and sweet at the same time. It wasn’t what a demon’s blood should have tasted like. Still I enjoyed it as Ban twisted his tongue with mine.

“Where is he?” I heaved out when Ban broke the kiss. His thumb ran over my lips as he looked down at me. That look that he gets in his eyes when we are like this was mixed with annoyance. No doubt he didn’t like me asking about Soji. Good, I didn’t like seeing Kenji blow him.

“You insolent fool!” Kenji yelled as he walked over to the bed. I growled at him as he drew closer to me. “Lord Ban is before you. How dare you think about some disgusting white mage.” I could see the envy on his face. I could hear the anger in his voice.

“Since when can’t you talk for yourself, Ban.” My voice was mocking as I looked up at the Great Demon. Ban only had this slight smile on his lips. He probably found it humorous that Kenji was sticking up for him. Ban didn’t need others to talk for him.

“You look so lovely today, Natsu.” Ban lowered himself and I gasped when his tongue flicked out over my tip. He took me between his lips his tongue twisting around my cock. Kenji had growled before his fingers wrapped around my throat. I could feel the pleasure that Ban brought. It made my hips rock towards him. Ban fingers reached up as he held me down on the bed. He wanted to control how he sucked me off.

Kenji fingers tighten and I didn’t know if I was going to live to get my happy ending. The lack of oxygen to my brain only made me focus on Ban’s mouth more. This wasn’t the first time he sucked me. It was as perfect this time as it has been the times before. Ban’s mouth was sin, the best kind of sin.

My eyes widen as I felt something forcing my mouth to open. Kenji was on top of me. His fingers let go of my neck as he pushed himself into my mouth. Ban didn’t stop sucking even as Kenji was trying to join in. I could feel Ban’s fingers enter me. He pushed them deep inside of me.

The build of pleasure was forming, I knew that I wasn’t going to last much longer. I couldn’t stop it as I released myself inside of Ban’s mouth. I gagged when Kenji did the same to me. When he backed away from me, I spit what he released into his face.

Kenji slammed his fist into my face. He had growled at me before Ban grabbed his head. He yanked Kenji’s hair back his fangs bared at the Blood dead. Was he protecting me? Of course, he was. I was Ban’s toy.

“I’ll kill you if you hurt him.” The threat was cold and Kenji only nodded his head. Ban fingers ran up my thighs opening my legs as far as the chains allowed. I felt something bigger enter me. Something hotter slipped inside. Ban was inside of me.

My eyes rolled into the top of my head. I didn’t mind Ban, I preferred him. I loved the way he felt when we were connected. Kenji could go die, but I wasn’t in the position to kill him at the moment. All I could do was moan as Ban settled.

Ban thrust inside of me. He was perfect just like always. His nails digging into my thighs bringing blood, and pain. It was lasting the movement of him sent shivers of pleasure down my spine. Kenji sat on the bed watching Ban. He stroked himself as he watched the Great Demon. How bad did Kenji want to be me right now? I knew how bad. I wanted to be me at this moment. The only time I didn't hate Ban was when we were connected.

I felt his hot liquid shoot inside of me, and he pulled out. I could feel him leaking out of me as he moved. Kenji moved so that he was between my legs. I watched as Ban stood behind him. He forced Kenji’s head down and the Blood Demon took me in his mouth.

I looked past Kenji to Ban as he grabbed the other man hips. He shoved into Kenji going hard and fast. To someone else it might as look like the same way he took me. This was different though. Even when Ban was rough with me, he always kissed on me or whispered into my ear.

He held Kenji’s head down on me as his eyes locked with mine. My heart picked up as I watched Ban. Why did this feel just as intimate as when we were connected. His eyes held mine as I thrusted into Kenji. It as if Kenji wasn’t here at all.

Kenji was reaching under himself stroking himself as Ban pounded into him. He didn’t hold back his voice making these loud ridiculous noises even with my cock in his mouth. Soon I couldn’t hold back anymore. My hips bucked as I released. It was a few minutes longer before Kenji did as well. I watched Ban his hips moving faster until he pulled from Kenji release up his back.

There was a feeling nagging feeling inside of me. As we shifted behind which one of us Ban entered, I felt as if I forgot something. Ban always did that to me. He always made me forget about the world around us as he took me. Each time he entered my body it was like every time before. I hardly even noticed that Kenji was in the room with us.

I lost count of how many times we climaxed. I noticed that Ban was with me longer. That he held onto me tighter. He took his time when he was with me. He seemed to rush through when Kenji took his turn. Kenji noticed it away. I could tell the Blood Demon wanted to kill me. I wanted to slaughter him as well. I couldn’t attack and he didn’t.

When Ban finally fell onto the bed beside me, Kenji moved to a chair glaring at the two of us. I could feel Ban’s finger pushing into my hair. I was tired the nagging feeling only growing that I forgot something important. Now that Ban wasn’t inside of me. Wasn’t touching me in a sexual manner it snapped back to force.

“Where is Soji?” I asked him and Ban ran his finger along the chain on my neck. He growled at the collar I had on but didn’t remove it.

“He’ll die tonight.” Ban answered sitting up. I shook my head. Tonight, it couldn’t be tonight. How could it be tonight.

“You have two days until the red moon.” When we met Kenji on the field, there was two days left.

“That was two days ago.” I sucked in a breath as Ban and Kenji walked to the door. “I’ll be back. I love you, Natsu.” Ban said and I glared at him as he shut the door behind himself and Kenji. I had to get out of here. I had to save Soji. I had to protect him and stop the Night of Demons.
