an arm around Vaurin. He kept the smile in place as he lowered his voice and said, âKeep talking, and Iâll kill you right where you stand.â
Vaurin was using glamour again. Tonight his eyes were green and his chin-length black and silver hair was brownish blond. He shrugged off Gorulâs arm. âYou make light of it after so many of our brethren have been slain?â
âIf theyâre stupid enough to get caught, then thatâs their problem.â
It was a brave face Gorul put on. He, like every other Dark Fae in Edinburgh, had been searching for some clue as to how many Dragon Kings were in the city. It was unnerving not to know or see the Kings who had always been so ready to battle.
âBesides,â Gorul said. âIt wasnât a King following us today. It was a human.â
Vaurin downed the last bit of his ale and set the glass on the bar. âHuman or King, I donât like being followed.â
âThe human is easily taken care of. If the female wants to know more about us, Iâll be happy to show her.â
Vaurin frowned and turned to face the bar. âWe were sent to infiltrate the mortals here just as we do in Ireland. Perhaps we should stop killing for a few nights.â
âStop?â Gorul asked with a bark of laughter. âHow can you ask that when the humans are so tempting? Just look at them,â he said as his gaze roamed the pub. âThey sense our sensuality. They know the pleasure we can give them. Why should we deny them that?â
Vaurin looked over his shoulder at two of their comrades who were wooing four females. All it took was a mortal being near a Fae for them to forget who they were. All that mattered to the humans was finding pleasure.
His friends were working the table with ease. A simple touch from a Dark against a femaleâs face, or leaning close to whisper in a femaleâs ear had them literally panting and begging for release.
Their friends stood, the four women quickly following. A moment later, all six were walking out the door.
âThatâs our cue,â Gorul said with a smile.
Vaurin felt need stir deep within him. It was a curse of a Dark. No matter how much sex they had, it was never enough. The mortals were like a drug. After one taste, there was no turning back.
He tried to remain at the pub, but it was useless. Vaurin walked out to find Gorul waiting for him, a knowing smile on his face.
âThereâs no need to deny what we are, Vaurin. Weâre Dark. We chose this, and I, for one, donât regret it. This shouldâve been our realm. The Dragon Kings made a serious mistake in not forcing us to leave. Letâs show them the power of the Dark.â
Vaurin walked with Gorul across the street and down an alley to a door. They went inside where all four women stood naked amid boxes and crates.
They were oblivious to where they were as they ran their hands over their bodies, begging to be touched. Gorul patted him on the back and went to a blonde with short hair and large breasts.
Vaurinâs cock was hard. He knew the pleasure that awaited. There was nothing so mind-blowing as having sex with mortals and feeding off their souls. The humans had no idea what was happening, which made it all the more pleasurable to a Dark.
Vaurin walked to the female who sat on a crate with her legs open fondling her clit as she watched the others. As soon as she saw him, the human smiled and slid her fingers deep inside her.
Vaurin took her mouth in a savage kiss while she hurried to unbuckle his pants. How stupid the humans were to so freely give their souls to the Dark. They were mindless cattle, the needs of their flesh outweighing the danger that surrounded them.
Oh, but the decadence of taking souls was one Vaurin couldnât deny himself.
