Reviving Davyn, page 33
‘Davyn was jumped a few days ago by some of his father’s men.’
Murt leans forward, clasping his hands together on the table. ‘I wasn’t aware Flann had left Ireland.’
‘He didn’t. He sent some thugs to do his dirty work. There’s a hefty bounty on his head, so it’s not going to end until Davyn is taken back to Flann. Obviously we won’t let that happen. So we decided to go back to Ireland, and take care of the problem once and for all.’
Murt leans back in his chair, rubbing his jaw as he considers what Nix said. ‘We’re in. We can meet you in the same location as the last time.’
Davyn has been told time and time again that he’s part of the team, but it still hits him every time they step up to defend him. It should have sunk in by now, but clearly it hasn’t. Everyone at this table - vampire and werewolf alike, is willing to fight for him. And that floors him.
‘Okay,’ Nix says, getting the attention back on her. ‘We’ll leave in the next few hours. I’ll send you our ETA once we’re underway.’
The wolf nods and cuts the connection.
‘Dav and Shep, I want you both to get checked and cleared by Fletch before you leave. If he has any issues with either of you, I won’t hesitate to ground you.’
‘Yes, boss,’ Shep mutters.
‘Dismissed.’
Nix stops Davyn just as he’s about to escape to his room. ‘Are you sure you want to do this? No one would blame you for wanting to sit this one out. Or even call it off. He is your father after all.’
‘I’m sure. Flann means nothing to me. I have to do this, Nix.’
She nods and smiles at him. ‘Make sure you feed before we go.’
She steps aside and Davyn finally escapes. His father needs to die. He has no problem with that. It’s the castle he doesn’t want to see again. It’s just a building, but there are so many hellish memories for him in that place, that he doesn’t want to go anywhere near it.
It was never really a home. Even when his mother was alive he didn’t like it. Her quarters were inviting and homely, but the rest of the building was a prison. That’s all it ever was. A monstrous prison himself, his mother, and Ronan were kept in.
Until he met Thea, he didn’t think he’d ever have a life that resembles anything remotely normal. He survived from day to day. Fighting and hiding in his room. There was nothing else. He’d planned on doing that for the rest of his life - however long he had left. But now he has Thea, things have changed.
Which just makes going back to the castle so much more difficult.
He gets to his room and closes the door behind him. There’s no way he can even contemplate a future with Thea while his father breathes. It’s just not possible. If he’s to have any control over the rest of his life, he needs to kill his father and claim his title.
He smiles as he faces the door, turning the key in the lock. ‘You’re supposed to be getting rest before we leave.’
‘Can I not rest here with you?’ Davyn turns around, and any thought of resting disappears from his mind when he sees his beautiful woman stretched out on his bed, naked, and no more interested in resting than he is.

Thea smiles as his eye begins to glow in the dim room. Clearly coming here to spend some time with him was a good idea.’
‘What if I don’t want to rest?’
She shuffles over and pats the bed. ‘I’d say that’s absolutely fine with me.’ Davyn lowers beside her and she can feel the weight of his gaze as it travels up her naked body. The way he looks at her, full of wonder and want, is heart-warming.
She wraps her hand around the back of his head, but he resists her attempt to draw him closer.
‘What’s wrong?’
‘Are you sure you don’t want the chains?’
Cupping the side of his stubbly cheek she meets his eyes. ‘I’m sure. I’m being honest with you. You can probably tell that, right?’
He nods. ‘Yeah. I can tell.’
‘Good.’ She lifts her head, kissing his lips when he still resists. ‘I want to be with you. Please.’
It could go either way. She can tell that without any of the vampire senses he has. His entire body is rigid.
She leaves him to his thoughts, but he doesn’t need long. Less than half a minute later, he stands up and, after tearing off his clothes in record speed, covers her with his warm body. With a moan, Thea wraps her arms around his neck, dragging her fingers through his hair as she kisses him.
Davyn pushes back and peers down at her. ‘I don’t know what to do.’
‘Yes you do. Just touch me. Feel me.’ She arches her back, loving the way his attention immediately goes to her breasts. ‘Why not start there and work your way down?’
His touch is barely there at first, gentle and unsure as his tongue traces over her nipple. His hand moves down her body, caressing and stroking her skin as he licks. Then he sucks her nipple into his mouth, teasing it with his tongue.
She buries her hands in his hair drawing him closer. ‘Oh God... Davyn...’
‘You taste so good.’
‘Mmm, and you’re not even at the good part yet.’
She moves under him and spreads her legs. Instinctively, his hand runs down her body, skimming over her hip.
After sucking on her nipple once more, he turns his attention to further down her body. He moves down the bed, spreading her legs so he can settle between her thighs.
Tentatively, he strokes her, his fingers sending a shockwave of pleasure through her with the briefest of touches. ‘That’s it, Davyn. Don’t stop...’
‘I don’t want to hurt you.’
‘You won’t. I trust you.’ She reaches down and takes his hand, placing it back where it was. ‘Please. I don’t want you to stop.’
He licks his lips and caresses her again, but this time his finger presses against her, sliding inside ever so slightly. Thea gasps and writhes against his hand. ‘So good,’ And she means it. For someone who’s never done this before, he’s a quick study.
‘Can I taste you?’
‘I’d like that.’
His breath sends a tremor up her body, then his tongue brushes against her. The deep animalistic growl that follows, hits her straight at her core. ‘More, Davyn.’
He licks her again, harder this time. ‘You taste incredible.’
She gasps, arching her back off the bed as he slowly explores her, lapping, sucking, and licking her into a frenzy.
‘It that okay?’
She grabs his hair, pulling him against her. Taking that as a yes, he reaches under her ass, lifting her hips off the bed. Then his tongue slides in, the new position only adding to the pleasure.
‘You okay,’ he asks as he peers up at her.
She nods quickly. ‘Oh yeah. Just keep doing that. I’m close.’
His eye glows brightly as he lowers to finish what he started, his tongue and mouth hitting all the right spots with increasing urgency.
When her back arches again, he places a heavy hand on her stomach, holding her exactly where he wants her. The growl builds in his chest, helping to steamroll Thea towards the edge, and push her over.
But he’s not finished.
Davyn keeps her spinning, his tongue in no hurry to let her come down.
When Thea finally comes back to her body, she meets his glowing eyes, full of wonder.
‘Was that okay?’
She nods as she waits for her voice to come back to her. ‘Yes. That was... wow. My brain is fucked at the moment, so that’s the most descriptive word I can come up with. Are you okay?’
He grins, looking especially sexy all flushed and turned on. ‘I liked that.’
‘I can tell.’ She looks at his dick and smirks. ‘I think you’re ready for more.’
He frowns, then glances down at his groin, which makes her want to laugh.
‘Yes, Davyn. I’d like to finish what you’ve expertly started. Please.’
DAVYN WANTS TO. AS much as he needs to protect Thea, to keep her safe, he wants her like this. He wants to feel her body under his hands, wants to be with her again, with no chains this time
Her seductive smile comes back and his dick throbs in anticipation. Thea moves her hips, rubbing her groin against his thigh, bringing out the growl she seems to like so much.
‘Come on, Davyn. You won’t break me, I promise.’
He licks his lips and positions himself at her entrance. He’s a fucking idiot. It shouldn’t be like this for her. He should be able to sweep her off her feet, or whatever people in movies do. He should know how to be with her, without freaking out.
Her hand runs up his arm and she grips his bicep. ‘Stay with me. It’s just you and me.’
Her words ground him and he shuts off the second guessing. She trusts him, justified or not, and he’s not going to let her down.
He brings his hips forward, sliding inside her tight body as slowly as he can. Thea gasps and pushes her head back into the pillow. ‘That’s it. Keep going. Just keep it slow for a minute.’
He holds himself back, even though his body wants to claim her in every way possible. Watching his dick slowly disappearing into her body is the best thing he’s ever seen. They fit perfectly. Like two pieces of a puzzle.
That fucking growl rises in his chest as he fills her, her delicate body accepting every inch of him. Thea peers down at him, her eyes hooded. He stretches out over her and kisses her, remembering she did the same to him, while she was getting used to him inside her. Thea moans against his mouth, hungrily devouring his tongue.
She tastes like nothing he’s tasted before. Warm and sweet and completely addictive. His hips begin moving before he even knows what he’s doing. She wraps her legs around his waist, holding him close so he moves a little faster, desperately trying to hold himself back. But she feels too good. Her mouth, her smooth body under his, the way she grips his dick. It’s all too much for him.
‘More, Davyn.’
Her fingers rake over his shoulders, her blunt nails brushing against the ridges running down his back. The contact sends a vice of pressure down his body to his balls. He’s never let anyone touch him there.
‘Did I hurt you,’ she asks, her breath ragged.
He growls again and fights to keep his fangs pulled up. ‘Do that again.’
His hips pump harder, before she even touches his ridges again. This time she drags her fingers up them, and his fangs lengthen. Usually there’s no feeling on the ridges, but the way she’s touching him, is like she has a hand wrapped around his balls.
Thea moans as she looks at him. ‘There he is. God you’re stunning.’
When she touches his back again, he has to stop himself from digging his teeth in to her neck.
He has to keep control. He’s so close, but he needs her to finish first. Pushing upright, he grips her thighs, spreading her wide. Transfixed by the sight of their bodies moving together, he can’t look away.
‘I want to see you when I come.’
He lifts his eyes and she groans aloud. She’s close. Her stomach is tightening, her breathing speeding up. He’s doing this to her.
Her body clenches around him as she arches her back. ‘Davyn!’
Hearing her scream his name as she comes undone, helps unravel whatever small semblance of control he had left. With a roar, he comes, her body still pulsating around him, drawing out his own release.
THEA RUNS HER HAND over the tattoos on Davyn chest as she listens to the steady beat of his heart. She has no idea how much time has passed since they both came loud enough to be heard throughout the house. And she honestly couldn’t care less. She can’t move, not that she wants to. She’s quite happy to stay huddled against Davyn’s chest.
He pushes up onto his elbow to look down at her. His eyes are back to their normal colour and his fangs have withdrawn again. Seeing him let go like he had was, not only a turn on, but a big step for him.
‘Did I hurt you?’
She runs her hand down the stubble on his jaw. ‘Of course not. Every single thing you did felt perfect.’ Thea could cry every time he asks her that. He’s so careful with her, she doubts he even dislodged a hair while they had sex. The fear of hurting her is crippling him, and she hates it. She pushes up the bed and rests her head on the pillow beside his. ‘I love being with you like this, Davyn.’
‘Really?’
‘Of course.’ She reaches across and kisses him. ‘I wish you’d enjoy yourself too.’
‘I do.’
‘You’re still holding back. But it was amazing to see you let yourself go a little more. I really like seeing you like that.’
He flashes her a quick smiles. ‘I think I picked up on that.’
‘Now you just need to release those wings of yours.’
‘And cut you to pieces. No.’ He checks the time on his phone. ‘Fuck. We have to get ready to go soon.’
‘Are you sure you want to go back there?’
He wraps his arm around her, pulling her into a tight hug. ‘I’d give anything not to go. I’d much prefer to stay here with you like this. But I have to. I need to be the one who ends this, once and for all. If I don’t, I’ll be looking over my shoulder for the rest of my life. I’m not living like that. I won’t have you live like that either.’
‘Do you really think he’ll keep coming for you?’
‘It sounds like he’s put an impressive bounty on my head. He doesn’t even have to leave his miserable castle. There are enough people who would do it for him. For some reason, he’s got a never ending supply of followers who are willing to die for him.’
Thea knows he has to go, but hates the thought of him going anywhere near that place again. She doesn’t want any of them going near it. If this goes wrong, she risks losing her father, and the man she loves in one night.
He tilts her chin up so she’s looking at him again. ‘We’ll all come back again.’
‘That’s so unnerving the way you do that.’
‘I’m getting to know you.’
‘I like that. I really do, but you can’t promise nothing is going to happen.’
‘We’re damn good fighters, Thea. Your father trained most of us and, thanks to your blood, I’m stronger than I’ve been for a long time. I promise, he won’t take any of us down.’
‘Is Shep going?’
Davyn rolls onto his back and laughs. ‘After a lot of fighting, Nix gave in. Physically, he’s been cleared, and whatever is going on with his body hasn’t progressed at all. Nix either lets him go, or he’s going to destroy the place in protest. He needs to vent. My father is responsible for whatever’s going on with him too.’
‘Seems Flann’s cards are marked.’
‘Yeah. They were marked centuries ago. I need to kill him, Thea. I hate saying something like that to you, but it’s the way it is. I’d prefer you weren’t coming too though. I’m not happy about that decision. Can I convince you to stay here?’
‘Not a chance. I’ll stay in the Whelan’s cottage with Fletch. I promised I would, and I’ll stick to that. But I want to see this through with you. I want to be nearby if you need me.’
‘Come to my rescue again?’
She smiles at the grin on his face. ‘Hopefully not. I think you can take care of yourself.’
He nods, realising he’s not going to get anywhere with her. Nix had, after a lot of persuasion, agreed to let her tag along. Being confined to the helicopter, or the cottage wasn’t exactly what she had planned, but it’s a start. And she’s going to follow the rules. She needs to prove to the whole team that she’s not a liability. That she can obey orders and carry her own weight.
She laces her fingers with his. ‘Just be careful. Please. I don’t want to lose you, Davyn.’
He kisses her, something he’s becoming increasingly proficient at. ‘I’ve got a beautiful, strong, incredible, stubborn woman to come back to. Of course I’ll be careful.’
Thea climbs onto him and kisses him deeply. Hearing something like that from him, makes her feel like she can take on the world. This century and a half year old vampire thinks she’s strong, so that’s what she will be. For him and for her father. If she’s to be part of Davyn’s world, she’ll have to get used to him leaving, and potentially not coming back to her. If she gets upset every time he does his job, it’ll make her miserable.
‘I love you, Davyn.’
‘I love you, Thea. Can I show you how much?’
‘Again? Do we have time?’
She squeals when he rolls her over, trapping her under his immense body. ‘Yes. You’re ready for me.’
The way his vampire senses can tell what her body is doing, takes having sex with him to a new level. ‘How can you be so sure?’
He nuzzles the side of her neck and growls softly. Thea moans and, if she wasn’t ready before, she is after hearing that. He presses his cock against her and rubs it along her entrance. ‘I can smell you. It’s intoxicating.’ His fangs scrap against her neck and, not for the first time, she wishes he’d bite her while they have sex. She’s desperate to be with full Prime vampire Davyn. Desperate for him to stop holding back. Desperate for him to claim her in every possible way.
But then he slides inside her and all thoughts disappear.

Thea follows her father to the hangar, hurrying to keep up with his long strides. A heavy weight is pressing on her heart, increasing with each step towards their destination. Finding the Blackjacks had been exactly what Court needed, but she had never thought of the effect him being part of the team would have on her.
Their relationship may be altered forever, she may still be angry at him for telling her he was her brother, instead of her father - as irrational as it sounds, but she’s not ready for him to go on missions.
She’s not ready to stand back and watch her father and Davyn walk away from her. She doesn’t know much about what the Blackjacks do, but she does know every time they leave the compound like this, they are going on potentially dangerous missions, against the people who may have been responsible for Court’s blasted amnesia in the first place.
