Managing Expectations (Artemis University #9) - Erin R Flynn Page 0,2
They would get more. It wasn’t enough!
I was about to let Darby out of his protective barrier but then thought better of it when I saw no one was paying attention to me. I had been protected and everyone restrained. I was in no danger and the adults were handling everything.
I had no eyes on me.
Time to get some fucking justice then.
Darby caught on at the last second and tried to break his barrier, shaking his head in argument when I held up my finger to my lips. Oh well. I’d get him to forgive me later. I hid myself and slipped into the darkness, moving away from the group and opening a cloaked portal to my actual prey.
Councilman Shurr.
For a second, I thought he saw me or the portal since a vase hit the wall two feet from where I walked into his study—or I assumed it was—but then I saw the line of charms on his desk. All of them flaring brightly as if signaling people were in trouble.
Oh yeah, his people definitely were.
I changed my barrier so nothing else could see, hear, or record me but him and chuckled darkly. “Bad day at the office, darling?”
His head snapped towards me and he narrowed his eyes. “You.” He leapt over the desk but froze when I clucked my tongue.
“We both know you can’t take me. Not physically or magically.” I walked closer and ran my fingers along the back of one of his chairs. “It’s a shame you didn’t come tonight. I was looking really forward to that.”
“You’ve done it now,” he snarled. “You’ve abducted my aides and guards. You’ve broken into my home and I will—”
“What?” I tilted my head and studied him. “I have dozens of witnesses that you were going against the dragon royals to seize me and Darby. Hudson Vogel and Juan Gui were right there to witness it all. Their guards had fun rounding up your idiots like nothing.” I gave him a moment with that. “And I broke in here? Any witnesses? You think any surveillance will see me?”
“My word means more than yours,” he snarled.
“Maybe, but there are hundreds of people who currently see me back where all your plans are being shattered. But I wanted a chat as you have a debt to settle.” And listening to his mind for two seconds, I figured out the best way to do it. “Oh, you want me as your whore. Does your mate know that? You want a fairy born witch as your whore and personal blood supply and have been trying to find one.”
“Stay out of my head, witch,” he hissed at me.
I wasn’t going to argue that with him, leaning over the back of the chair and batting my eyelashes at him. “You like the red hair, huh? A tight ass on a young athletic woman like me and with big tits no less, and your shriveled little dick just tries to salute for me.” I eyed him over and snorted. “That’s a hard pass.”
“That’s enough of your filth.”
I ignored him, infusing magic into what I said next. “Because the vampire in my bed is all I need. He’s delicious and vigorous with me. I love rough sex. You wouldn’t believe what he does with me. What I’ve let him do to me.” I swallowed down my feelings on what had happened and used it as fodder to fuel this sick fuck’s fantasies. “He’s almost killed me he drinks so much from me. We love it.
“We love taking things over the edge. When he goes almost feral with me, I orgasm so hard I gush. Magic pours out of me into him from my blood and the more he fucks me, the stronger he becomes. He feasts on me in every way and all of me gives him power. You want that power, don’t you? You hate Darby because you know his cock fucks me when you want to have me.”
“Yes, you have to be mine,” he whimpered, completely caving to the magic. “I have to have you!”
I glamoured some pillows on the couch to be me in his messed up state and he attacked them, tearing into them and then… It was hard not to vomit. All the while, I used fairy runes for interrogation, and Shurr poured out the dirty secrets I hadn’t known, but wanted to bring him and others down. Definitely enough to give us leads and places to find more misdeeds.
