Desert Heat (Complete)
Desert Nightmare Chapter 25

{Heather’s P.O.V.}

“Ah! Gideon!”

“I told you, you will surrender to me willingly,” he mocked me as he inserted three fingers right off the bat. Gideon had returned from work and today, just like every other day for the last two weeks, he wanted s*x. I fought back at first because I knew his intentions, but in the end, he manipulated my senses and turned defiance into pleasure.

“Gideon, please, f**k me in the a*s.”

“No, we will not do any anal because I know you are trying to avoid getting pregnant.”

“Damn you!” I shouted and tried to push him away, but to no avail.

“Don’t fight me, Heather, your body knows what it wants,” he hissed in my ear as he replaced his fingers with this d**k.

“Fuckkkkk,” I m****d as he immediately hit the entrance of my womb and stretched me out.

“So warm, so tight, and all mine,” he g*****d as he started to f**k me relentlessly. That’s all he ever did now. He would get me aroused, get my juices flowing with just his fingers, and then f**k until he came. I had my fair share of o*****s, but there were some instances when this became a chore and an obligation. There was no passion, no desire, and no love. Gideon only saw me as his queen to produce an heir, a means to an end. It actually started to bother me that the romance he showed me initially was gone.

“ARGH!!” Gideon g*****d and came. I was thrown off guard and completely shocked because this was the first time he didn’t give me an o****m.

“What the hell!?” I shouted at him. “I didn’t even c*m yet!”

“Too bad,” he said and pulled out. He went straight to the bathroom and locked the door. I scoffed and screamed into the pillow. Was this what my life had dwindled to? Mated to a demon king who couldn’t even hold his load for more than five minutes? What did I do to deserve this? Even humans I used to f**k could perform better than the s**t Gideon was doing.

“My queen,” someone said from the door.

“WHAT!?” I snapped when I saw it was Aria.

“Don’t talk to me that way, as of right now, calling you queen is merely a formality. None of us see you as our queen, not after what you did to Gideon and your unborn.”

“I didn’t f*****g ask for your opinion Aria!”

“You don’t need to ask, Heather. I’ll do so when I please. You’re merely a body for him. Gideon doesn’t love you; he never has and never will. Even if you produce an heir, you will be nothing to him. Your title as queen will be just that, a title. You’re not important to him.”

“SHUT YOUR MOUTH!” I screamed at her, but that only made her smirk even more.

“I may just be the help, but I’m still a mid-level demon, and I can easily kill you. But I don’t need Gideon coming and throwing a fireball at me like he did the Seer. No thanks to you, she’s dead, and you have no way of spying on your enemies now.”

“Like I give a rat’s a*s about them!”

“I beg to differ,” she sneered at me. “Rumor has it that your enemies are living vivaciously and happily. Your sister is returning from her honeymoon in Australia, the Luna is apparently with child again, and your ex-mate at Yellow Moon is planning a wedding.”

“WHAT!?!?” I screamed at the top of my lungs. Was Deacon really getting married? It was bad enough he rejected me and then somehow moved on, but now he was going to f*****g marry her?! “AHHH!!!!” I shrieked as I tried to ignore Aria’s taunting.

“What is going on here?” Gideon shouted.

“My king, I was just checking on the queen, and she started to scream at me,” Aria said innocently.

“Heather, stop acting a f*****g child!” Gideon yelled at me. I scowled at him and then at Aria who just smirked again. This b***h was pressing my buttons intentionally to get a reaction out of me. I lunged at her to beat her senseless, but Gideon stopped me. “THAT IS ENOUGH!” he shouted in my face and threw me onto the bed.

“Gideon, are you taking her side over mine!?”

“You will show respect to my demons, Heather. You are not officially the queen, and you lost the right to do anything to them when you murdered my unborn heir!” Apparently, he was never going to let that go. “Aria is above you as of this moment, and you will respect her!”

“GIDEON?!”

“Aria, please clean up the mess Heather created and then prepare dinner. Heather will eat in here, alone, and you will join me at the table. We have a few things to discuss in private.”

“Yes, my king,” she bowed. Gideon left the room and as soon as the door closed, Aria turned back to me. “As I said, merely a body to hold his heir,” she said to me, her tone suggestive, and I finally realized what she was doing.

“Oh my god, you have feelings for him.”

“I don’t just have feelings for him, I’m in love with him. Gideon was my first, and he will be my last. My initial plan was to wait until you got pregnant, take your baby, kill you, and raise Gideon’s offspring as my own. I would do anything for Gideon, but then you had to go and mark him. Now I can’t kill you because Gideon will die with you. Once I figure out a way to remove your mark on him, you’re as good as dead Heather.”

“You’re a fool if you think Gideon will let you hurt me.”

“He will once I rid him of your stupid bite mark. Now, go get cleaned up so I clean up this mess you made,” she snapped. I got up from the bed and as soon as we crossed paths, I grabbed her arm.

“I’m not one to f**k with Aria. If you think what I did to the Seer was bad, just wait and see what I do to you if you try to take Gideon away from me.”

“What do you mean what you did to the Seer?” she asked, studying my expression carefully. “Did you honestly think her missing the vision of my pregnancy was an accident?” Aria stared at me in shock and didn’t have a backhanded response for once. “If you don’t want to end up like her, back the f**k off,” I said and shoved her to the ground. “I may not have my wolf anymore, but I still have Alpha b***d in my veins. I’m not afraid of you, or Gideon, and the next time you try to set me up to get into trouble with him, I will expose you.”

“You can’t prove anything.”

“Don’t be too sure about that, Aria. I’m very resourceful. If you don’t believe me, press my buttons again and see what happens,” I sneered at her and went into the bathroom. If that demon b***h thought she could bully me into submission, she had another thing coming.

{Allie’s P.O.V.}

“Damn, we were so caught up in Vivienne’s strawberry festival that we didn’t get to talk about your honeymoon Lacie,” I said to her at the table. Andre let out a growl and I couldn’t help but giggle.

“It was amazing! I mean, the water was great, the people were nice, the food was delicious, and the s*x … Whoo, nothing compares to honeymoon s*x,” Lacie replied.

“Oh, believe me, I know,” I smiled.

“Precious, can we not talk about our s*x life in mixed company?” Aries asked.

“Why? It’s not like they haven’t seen us naked and screwing each other already,” she answered which made us all laugh. “Though I will admit, I’ve missed Meredith.”

“Same,” Aries nodded.

“Too bad my mom wanted one more day with her,” Lacie grumbled. “Oh, that reminds me, Allie, the buffet inside of the hotel that we were staying at had a sushi bar, and it looked like something right up your alley!”

“Oooh … Maybe when crap calms down, Dorian and I can take our pups there.”

“I still can’t believe you’re having another one, I mean, honestly, I’m so happy for you,” she said with a big, genuine smile.

“Yeah, congrats you two,” Aries chimed in and held up his water glass for a toast.

“Have you guys decided if you’re going to do a gender reveal?” Leah asked.

“Uhhh … Yeahhh … No. I don’t think I’m ever going to do a gender reveal again,” I told her. “Gender reveal parties have been forever ruined for me.” Leah frowned and nodded her head.

“Are you going to ask Max or Claudia to tell you the gender?” Sin asked.

“Actually, no,” I answered and looked at Dorian.

“We’re going to wait again,” he replied and smiled at me.

“Did Dr. Quinn tell you whether or not you would be able to deliver naturally?” Sam asked.

“She said that it’s possible since I’m only carrying one this time around, but still, he or she is an Alpha pup, and my frame is still small, so she said we will have to see,” I answered, pouting my lips.

“What are you guys hoping for?” Lucas asked.

“Honestly, it doesn’t matter, we have one of each already, so either one will make us happy, as long as he or she is healthy,” Dorian answered.

“How are the twins taking the news?” Aries asked.

“Really well, they’re excited,” I answered and ruffled Demarco’s hair.

“What about the beds, did they sleep in them last night?” Brandon asked.

“Yeah, they did,” Dorian replied.

“We had taken them to the nursery to put them down in their cribs, but neither one of them wanted to sleep there. They both kept saying ‘bed’ and not ‘nappy’ which is what they say when referring to the crib,” I elaborated.

“When we finally put them down in the beds with their nighttime milk, they both knocked out right away, it was amazing,” Dorian concluded.

“What?!” Leah and Sin shouted.

“Allen took almost a whole month to start sleeping in his bed after we got it!

“Sawyer too!” Leah exclaimed.

“That’s because you two coddled them by letting them co-sleep in your rooms instead of the nursery,” I answered. “Honestly, I would have done the same with the twins, but Eleanor is the one who told me to get them used to them sleeping in their cribs in the nursery, otherwise transitioning them to their own beds later would be hard.”

“Bridget never said anything to me about that.”

“Yeah, Helena didn’t give me that advice either.”

“That’s because our boys were like your boys,” someone said. We all looked to see our parents arriving.

“Hi!” we all said at the same time as they came to their seats at the table.

“Son, where’s Jed?” Benjamin asked Dorian.

“Hiding,” Dorian replied.

“What did he do?”

“That effer and his mate finally did the deed and completed the mating process, but instead of just doing it, he had to go make it all romantic, and now us guys look like bad husbands and boyfriends.”

“I see,” Benjamin replied, trying to stifle a laugh.

“You boys get ready, training is going to be fun tomorrow morning,” Sam said while taking a bite of her dessert. “Lucas, that includes you too.”

“ME!?” Sam just gave him a look and he backed down. Even though Lucas was as large as Dorian and Sam was only about 5’6”, Lucas was afraid of her. Sam was right about one thing; tomorrow was going to be fun.

-

“GIZMO!!! PLEASE!!!” Brandon screamed at the top of his lungs as I put him in a very uncomfortable position that I had no name for. He looked so awkward with one of his legs behind his head, his other leg folded behind him, and I had both of his arms crossed over the front with his hands behind his neck.

“Allie, that’s enough!” Dorian shouted at me. I smirked and let Brandon go.

“SAM!!!” I heard Mikey scream. I looked behind me and she had him pinned on the ground in a nelson hold. It reminded me of what I did to Deacon that one time.

“p***y,” Sam said and let him go as he tapped out almost instantly.

“Who’s next?” Sam and I both shouted at Lucas, Andre, and Dorian. None of them volunteered.

“If you don’t volunteer, we’re going to choose,” I told them. The rest of the pack was standing by, watching the fun. Jed was off to the side getting a kick out of everything as well.

“I think Andre deserves a pass,” Jed suggested from the sidelines.

“WHY?!” everyone exclaimed.

“If I’m being honest, Andre is the one who helped me set up my surprise for Viv. The last part he had no idea about, but the flowers, the stuffed wolf, and even the chocolate strawberries were all him,” Jed admitted. We all looked at Andre and he had a cocky smile on his face.

“Okay, fine, Andre doesn’t get his a*s kicked,” I said. Andre let out a huge sigh of relief and went to join Jed a little too eagerly.

“Well then, that just leaves our husbands,” Sam said, and I just nodded my head.

“Rock, paper, scissors?” I asked, looking at her. She shrugged her shoulders, and we did best two out of three; I won. “Lucas, come here,” I said to him and he made his way to the middle of the sparring area.

“Luna, I won’t go easy on you.”

“Oh please, it is I who will not go easy on you,” I enunciated each word. I already knew that I couldn’t beat Lucas head-on, so I used my secret weapon. The moment Lucas had his arms around me to pin me down, I grabbed a hold of his arms with my hands and flashed a huge smile. “Goodnight Lucas,” I told him. He knew what was coming and attempted to break free, but it was too late. I tangled my arms and legs with his and projected my l**t in full force. For every man except Dorian, my power drained their energy and rendered them unconscious which was exactly what I did to Lucas.

“Allie, that’s a cheap shot,” Sam said to me as I walked away from her husband, unconscious on the ground. “I like it!” she high-fived me. She walked over to Lucas who was passed out and just shook her head. Brandon and Mikey picked him up and dragged him off the field.

“Good luck, Dorian,” I said to him as Sam waited for her turn.

“Your winning streak ends here, my dear wife. You ladies had your fun, but now, it’s my turn,” Dorian said and smacked me in the a*s. All of the men cheered for Dorian while all of the women cheered on Sam.

“Boss let’ s make a deal,” Sam said.

“On what?”

“If I win, you give my team a raise at work.”

“And if you lose?”

“If I lose, then I give up my cut on my team’s next contract.”

“Deal,” Dorian easily agreed, and they shook hands on it. Either way, for Sam’s team it was a win-win. They assumed the position of their stances and Sully blew the whistle.

————

“YESSSS!!!!” Sam shouted at the top of her lungs. “I DID IT! I FINALLY f*****g DID IT! YEARS OF f*****g TRYING AND I FINALLY BEAT THE BOSS!!!” She was running in circles outside and was high-fiving her team along with everyone else in the pack. Everyone was cheering for her and I was dying, laughing at Dorian literally sulking on the ground with a broken nose and lump on his forehead. Normally I would be pissed when anyone hit Dorian in the face, but she actually didn’t hit him.

Sam had been secretly working on a special move with Bryce so she could finally beat Dorian in sparring, and last week during one of their private sessions, she perfected it and pinned Bryce. She was so excited, and she had been waiting for the perfect opportunity to use it on Dorian. Because Bryce created the move, he knew how to avoid hitting the ground, but unsuspecting and unknown victims like my dear husband couldn’t. So, Dorian ended up face planting the ground when he lost his balance and that was how his face got all jacked up.

The impact was what allowed Sam to pin him down for five seconds. He was too disoriented to even fight back.

“A DEAL’S A DEAL BOSS! MY TEAM GETS A RAISE!” Dorian just nodded his head and got to his feet while Sam’s team cheered hysterically. Dorian walked over to me with his head hung low, but when he made eye contact with me, I saw the smirk on his face.

“Oh my gosh, you didn’t?” I said to him as I looked over his bruised face.

“Didn’t what?” he winked. My mouth dropped and I looked back at Sam who was still celebrating with her team.

“You let her win,” I whispered so only he could hear me.

“Her team has been doing a great job, so I was already going to give them a mid-year raise anyway. Plus, Bryce called me the other day and told me about that move he taught her.” I scoffed and just shook my head. Poor Sam had no clue.
