Everything was dark when we sat in a circle on the floor of Lavender's room. Candles burnt on plates that were positioned around the circle of salt we all sat around. Strange markings ringed the circle that Darcy was finishing with the bag of cheap table salt he crumpled.
River dwarfed us in his mutated glory. The darkness added to his fearsome appearance that had once scared us all.
Darcy had taken the change very badly. He had refused to acknowledge that the monster before him had been River, and had hid from him. He even came cowering to me to try and escape River who couldn't talk any sense into the terrified Darcy.
Lavender had feared him too. Unlike Darcy, she had been frozen in fear when River showed himself to her again.
It had taken less coaxing and bargaining, but was still a few days before she could touch him without flinching.
We had decided not to draw unnessesary attention to River while he was here. He joined me at our job and to hang after school, but that was it.
We didn't go anywhere extravagant together. The party planned for when my muzzle was finally removed for good was a quiet one rather than the original idea of a loud party with lots of people to celebrate it with.
River didn't mind the change. He still made sure I had my own time with him when he took me back to the glowing flower field just to sit there against him to admire it. We even danced together through the spores, laughing and teasing each other around the circumference of the flower field.
We had all become stronger together when we braved the uncertainties between us.
Lavender grew to expect our presence whenever school ended. Both River and I would wait at the gate for her now, fuelling the excitement and curiosity amongst the students that had been lost long ago. We mainly did it to make sure no-one plucked up the courage to try and chase after the untouchable prize when we weren't there.
The thrill of it all could tempt anyone. I wasn't afraid to go back into a muzzle to stop them either. It would be a thrill for me too.
Darcy wasn't left out from the excitement each afternoon. After picking up Lavender, we would drive to the bus stop where Darcy was dropped to collect him as well.
The others on the bus knew River well. But with me now joining his side, they definately took notice.
He became more popular during dropoffs too. The humans wanted to know what it was like having two demons to protect and offer him anything he wanted.
It was like being given inside information to something taboo for most of them. For others, it was the neglect shaping River that was the interest for those who didn't experience it.
In a way, they idolised and envied Darcy. Most people could only dream of having two devoted partners like he did.
But when we finished school, that limelight also disappeared. There was no-one to marvel us or inflate our egos anymore. We were supposed to be adults now, ready to go our own ways and face the world.
Despite thier promise, Darcy's parents didn't throw him out once he finished school. They cut him off of basic needs to encourage him to get his own job and move out. Things like new clothes or even food other than the three basic meals he was given had to be funded through River who was trying his best not to let the frustration of it all build up inside him
Instead of focusing on what we could do alone, we were gathered around our circle in the dark, trying to find another way to bind us all together.
River was the only one of our group that knew anything about summoning. And his knowledge was through fake tests amongst the other boys when he had still been in school and the old laptop he had borrowed from Mum sitting beside him.
We had made sure to choose a day when Mum and Dad were out at town so that it wasn't disturbed. It was going to be an intense thing that needed all of our concentration.
"First things first" River spoke "the person and the demon need to be the only ones around the circle. We'll do Teddy and Lavender then me and Darcy."
River and Darcy moved to sit on the bed so I was left staring at Lavender.
"Next, you must offer blood to the circle from both people. The symbol must be carved into the skin of each person. The back, chest, or stomach are the best regions for this to work."
"I'll grab a knife" Darcy announced but River stopped him.
"It's a tricky symbol, so it might take some time" he murmered before holding up his curled hand "but I can do it with my claws."
Darcy looked to them and slid back onto the bed beside him.
"Once the symbol is carved, the human and demon must exchange the blood. They have to make sure to drink some of it so that the summoning bond is complete. This must be only with the demon you are tied to and has to be at least one-hundred mils."
"That's a lot" Lavender frowned now in concern.
"It'll be fine" I held out my hand for her to take.
"Once Blood is exchanged, the human and demon can deepen the summoning bond by... Ohh..."
I saw River smile cheekily and his tail curve upwards.
"... The bond can be deepened through sexual intercourse with the demon. Demons are known to be quite protective mates, so the call of the summoning from one will be undeniable and strong."
Lavender's eyes trained on me as she blushed. We still hadn't been intimate with each other yet. River was the only one who had jumped at every chance he could to mark me as his own when we were alone. He hadn't touched Lavender either out of respect so the thought of her being available was exciting to him.
Darcy knew what this meant to. He had only been traded by River who was restrained from acting out his desires with him. In a way, I was his release for his sexual frustration, and he was mine.
"Once the summoning is complete, break the circle and remove the candles. To summon the demon, you must speak its name clearly and with both hands held as if in prayer. This used to be because people carved the symbol into thier palms, but is now an old gesture still used today. In situations of great stress or danger, the demon will feel your need and be summoned to you. A demon can also break the summoning spell by making this symbol with its hands."
River held up both hands with the fingertips touching. It was the same gesture we had used all throughout our school life with our many teachers.
"An unwilling demon is dangerous, so use the summoning wisely. A demon cannot summon another demon."
River looked up from the laptop at us. He was certaintly keen to start the ritual, as was I. Lavender and Darcy felt the energy pouring from us both and were envigorated by the excitement of the unknown about to happen.
"Let's get started then" River clapped his hands together "where should we do it? Stomach? Chest? Back?"
"Where are yours?" I turned to him.
"On his back" Darcy replied with a slap on it "it's a mess back there."
"Shirts off then" River grinned, flicking his finger at us.
We did as we were told and faced each other. Lavender clutched her shirt to her chest to try and give her some modesty other than her pale yellow floral bra that cut perfectly across her breasts.
She had such a nice body. Her hair curled just the right way over her shoulders and her cheeks flushed red as her eyes looked to me innocently.
She looked like a doll sitting there. I could have marveled at her beauty all day.
"You first" River announced as he shoved down on my shoulder to make me bend forward "I'll try and make it as quick as I can for you both, OK?"
Darcy placed the laptop beside River for him to use as reference then rushed out to quickly return with two empty glasses that he sat down beside it.
"I'll collect the blood in this. Just try to drink as much as you can" River spoke to Lavender now who nodded.
I felt the tip of River's claw running down the bones of my spine until he paused between my shoulder blades to jab the location briefly, testing it. I looked to Lavender for support and saw her quickly cover her mouth after he pierced the skin and started to spill my blood down my body he slowly tore through.
The carvings were not quick like River promised. Each stroke was absolute agony that sliced through me like the balde of a knife. I tried to be strong for Lavender but was reduced to tears by the time River finished and passed the almost full cup to Lavender to choke down.
Her mouth was dribbling when River left me to unclip her bra and work on her. I sat there on the other side of the salt, helpless to help her when she bit back her screams and sobbed under his deep carving.
I drank up her blood as it was collected, almost choking on the thickness of it that burned and coated my throat. It wasn't anything like I was expecting. The smell of it was like rust and the taste was like disgusting iron. I was dissapointed her blood wasn't anything sweet to enjoy.
"I guess your next step is to get to it" River spoke as he got to his feet and collected both dirty cups "I'll leave you to it. Don't be too long though; me and Darcy still need to finish our ritual before your parents get back."
I shooed him and Darcy away. Lavender watched them leave before turning to me.
"This is not exactly the way I had planned" she muttered as she dropped the bra she had been clutching to her chest "it seems a little...forced."
"Because it is?" I flashed her a small smile as I unbuttoned my pants and kicked them off "it feels odd."
"Having sex with a bunch of salt and blood on the floor?" she finished, dancing around it so she could kick off her own pants "yeah, it's weird."
She sat down on her bed and I reached over to help slide down her underwear. She pulled mine off after and I lowered her onto the sheets where she winced.
"My back" she whimpered when I leant over her "it feels like it's on fire."
"Maybe we can try something else?" I murmered and looked around as if trying to find an answer "I'll sit."
She nodded and peeled herself from the blankets to sit on my lap instead. I wrapped my hands around her buttocks when her legs gripped either side of me and her breasts hovered near my face. My cock was pressing against her, erect and ready.
"Do you think it'll work?" she pondered when she gripped it in her hands to run her fingertips along the spiralled skin of it in wonder.
I leant forward to kiss along her neck gently and felt the skin instantly shiver in response. Lavender leant her head away to expose it to me when I ran down to her collarbone and trailed down to her breast.
She gasped and placed her hand over mine that gripped her other breast. Her fingers stopped trailing and fixed firmly on me to start pumping instead.
My body jerked in response and my claws and teeth dug in to draw blood. Lavender cried out when I pulled from her to wipe the blood from my mouth and hold her buttocks instead
"Don't worry about that" she whimpered when she reached up to inspect her torn nipple "we have to complete the ritual."
Her hand returned to my cock to make me grip her again when waves of intense pleasure rippled through my body. I gasped and strained against her glistening fingers that gripped it firmly.
I wanted more of her. No rational thought ran through my mind when I cradled Lavender against me and turned to pin her back onto the bed and the blood-stained sheets.
I forced her legs apart and clutched at the soft skin that rippled when I buried myself between them to suck at the opening there.
Lavander arched and gripped the sheets immediently while my tongue worked its way around her and lucked at the bud of her clit. Her body jolted with each stroke there and shivered as she squirmed and tried to shut me between her legs that I forced back.
It excited me to see and hear her panting for more. She was enjoying every moment of me teasing and testing her. The taste of her was somewhat familiar. It had the tang of salt but was sweet like cinnamon. Whatever it was, I craved more. I wanted to commit this taste and sweet smell to my memory now that I was able to devour it and hear her moan as I did.
Lavender was open and willing for me now that her body wasn't trying to fight the pleasure I plucked through her. I felt her skin form bumps again and heard her moans grow shallower and more desperate.
I kept sucking until she arched again and crushed me between her legs as her body trembled from her grunting climax. She gripped my horns while thick juices seeped out that I savored on my greedy tongue.
There was no waiting now. I was more than ready for her body that gushed below me.
My cock slid in with ease when I guided it into the wet warmth. Instantly, I felt Lavender clamp down on it and tighten around it, gasping again just from the entry.
"Let me know if it hurts?" I panted to her.
She nodded and immediently bit her lip to stop herself from moaning too loudly when I slid in deeper.
I crushed my lips against hers when I pulled back to jab my cock through her again, in an unsuccessful attempt to keep her quiet.
She was constricting me so tightly I had to fight the pull that kept me clamped inside her. The constriction only made the pleasure crackling inside me ripple to every inch of my body and even to my fingertips.
To hell with keeping quiet.
Lavender gasped and moaned as I gripped her sides and thrust relentlessly. I pumped against her, biting into her neck that exposed for me the moment I panted against it.
The waves rippled through me as I forced her into the bed to fuck her hungrily. My mouth was all over her, biting her soft skin and lapping up the blood still dribbling downwards.
She was a begging mess beneath me. I kept her exactly where I wanted her, hammering every inch of me into her that cried out for more.
She gripped my horns when I pulled her from the blankets plastered to her back and pushed her against the wall at the head of her bed that shook in response.
Her breasts were at my mercy again as she dug her hands into my buttocks to try and force me deeper than I was already going.
My hands gripped her back to pull her close to my body that curved around her possessively. She liked my desperate hunger for her and leant back to give me full access to her breasts again that heaved with her begging breaths.
Lavender was moaning my name before she fell silent and looked over my shoulder.
I shoved against her, keeping her body covered and my cock buried with her when I turned to find the source of her interruption.
River stood by the door that was closed firmly behind him. He looked like he wanted to say something that escaped his mind when I growled at him.
"I'd hate to be that guy, but we need to wrap things up" he said, only to have me snarl at him.
"Get out of here!" I warned as Lavender pressed her hands to my chest. They reached up to gently caress both sides of my face that she moved to face her. "
"Teddy" she whispered with a glint in her eye "let him stay."
"Are you sure?" I frowned down to her nodding, panting now.
She linked her arms over my shoulders and pushed against my cock. I shoved against her one last time before pulling her from the wall and off the bed.
I slid from her as she spread her legs further and bent over the side of the bed, looking at River.
"What are you waiting for?" she purred, wiggling suggestively.
River licked his lips but looked to me first. I stood there, aching for nothing more than to be buried back inside Lavender, but stood aside willingly.
River was darting around the salt circle and tearing off his pants in one fluid movement before hoisting up Lavender from her bent position on the bed.
She straddled him as he twisted his own cock into her arse, leaving me to resume my position within her.
She was a moaning wreck as we drilled within her at the same time. River kept her clinging to him while I grappled her from behind and thrust deeper.
My tongue ran over her dribbling back to make her shiver and muffle her gasps against River's chest. He pulled from her so I could be the one she clung to as he took his place within her.
We kept her begging for more until I felt my whole body tighten and intensify. River noticed and immediently yanked himself free from her so I could place her back on the bed and keep hammering.
She felt my growing orgasm within her and reacted to the throbbing size. Her clutches for my body had me spilling inside her and grunting at the intense electricity that made me grip the bed for control.
As soon as I pulled out, River leapt in to bury himself around my release and force more loud moans from Lavender whose body arched for him immediently. He hammered her into the bed before grunting and gripping the sheets to pour himself into her as well.
Lavender dripped from us both as she laid there, her breasts heaving as she tried to regain her breath.
"I... need to get... Darcy sorted" River grunted, pulling on his pants again "I'm... not sharing."
"Fair enough" I gasped back and went over to kick a line through the circle then blow out the candles "he's... all yours."
Lavender hung from me when we left the room. She nestled her head against my chest when we went to the couch to collapse, Darcy getting up from it to head to the room.
We could hear his own cries of pleasure from the room when we sat there, keeping an eye out for any signs of anyone returning home.
River was relentless. I could hear him growling and grunting as he fucked Darcy and made him beg for more over and over.
For someone usually so quiet, he sure knew how to make himself heard when River was involved.
It was only a few more minutes before River emerged from the room with Darcy behind him. Both looked like they had just been through a massacre from. The amount of blood and sweat smeared across them.
We probably looked no better ourselves.
"The rituals are done" River grinned, falling back onto the couch beside us "we are bound now."
"That was one way to do it" Darcy commented when he carefully sat down to snuggle into River's side that he was pulled against "what a day."
"What a day" Lavender smiled back with a grin to me then River who placed a hand on her leg "we should make sure it worked, just in case."
I saw Darcy lift his head in surprise at her.
River's ears perked up at the suggestion. I was hard again just thinking about her body thrusting against mine so soon.
"It wouldn't hurt" Darcy smiled at River before glancing at me.
I got the hint but didn't respond to it. River would have my guts if I so much as touched what was his. He had made it clear, so why was Darcy so adamant?
"I think River needs more practice" Lavender said with a rubbing hand on his leg "If that's OK with you, Teddy?"
I saw her peering at me expectantly. I shrugged and watched her grin at him before he sheparded her back to the room.
Darcy waited for the door to slam shut before he made his move. He crawled over and sat on my lap, straddling my hard cock against his.
"We won't have much time" Darcy smirked at me and greedily yanked me free "make me yours, please."
I didn't need telling twice. I was already forcing my way through Darcy's keen body before he could guide me. He muffled his groans against my neck while I pierced through his desperation relentlessly.
He wasn't as tender as Lavender was. If anything, he loved the more rough side of me I couldn't show to Lavender in her tender state. He wanted all of me and was hungry to be marked in the same savage way River had done to him.
I had Darcy gripping the edge of the couch he screamed into, with my teeth buried deep into he nape of his neck, when I was exploding in waves of hot lust again. Darcy moaned as he took it all, pushing against me with each ripple to savour our forbidden connection that he tore from.
He was dressed like nothing had happened between us, straddling me again so I could nibble down his already marked throat he pressed to my exploring lips.
He was smiling and grinding subtly on me when River re-emeerged with Lavender. River's cheerful expression hardened immediently when he caught me biting the Base of Darcy's throat that he exposed for me. Darcy noticed River's silent anger and lifted himself from me to sit back down meekly.
It almost looked like he wanted to be caught. No doubt he would be marked by River again later to cover any evidence I had left. He was goading River into taking him again forcefully out of possessiveness so soon after thier first session. It was a deceptively smart move coming from someone like him.
I could see where he was picking it up from when I watched Lavender return to me with a satisfied smile. River only stood over Darcy who stared up at his bared teeth with a small forced smile. It didn't last long though; River was already tugging him from the couch and towards the front door to head back to thier own house.
I saw Darcy smile widely back at me when he was dragged past the sight of a car slowly making its way back into the property.
"We need to shower! " Lavender's face fell in panic immediently as she threw herself at the bathroom door to strip off behind it "go and sweep up the salt!"
I snorted at her and rushed to the cupboard to pull out the dustpan and brush from the mess inside and race it to the bedroom.
The salt flew around the dustpan and arched across the messed floor when I feverishly swiped at it. With most of it contained, I dumped the bloody bedsheets on the ground to rub through the trails there in an attempt to soak it up.
When it spread instead, I gave up on the idea to snatch up some fresh clothes and sprint the sheets to the laundry to throw them onto a long wash with way too much lavender laundry detergant.
The pityful attempts to cover our ritual were going to be discovered for sure. I was throwing clothes to Lavender and stripping off to race into the shower she was changing in front of when Mum called out to us, followed closely by Dad.
We had only just made it by the skin of our teeth. I heard Lavender's bare feet pound across the floor as she sprinted to slam her door shut while our parents were occupied with the groceries they were placing on the kitchen table noisily.
I could hear the rustling of the plastic bags and clanging of canned food on the surface while muffled chatter rang out to the returning feet.
My panic had me too busy scrubbing my body raw to focus on anything else. The summoning circle carved into my back was the only thing I couldn't reach with the already stained soap bar I struggled for control with.
Soon enough, I was joining the others to be welcomed warmly like nothing had happened.
I saw a smear of blood across the couch from where I had been fucking Darcy moments earlier. Lavender noticed too and distracted Mum and Dad with the shopping while I threw a pillow over it until I could figure out how to better cover it later.
No-one suspected a thing until it was found when we all gathered there after dinner to enjoy some TV together. Lavender played it off as her Flowers and somehow got away with it with only sympathy from both parents. She even burst into tears like the sight of it shamed her, to really sell it.
She dismissed herself to her room that I soon followed to so we could get to work scrubbing the floors together while stifling laughter at the close call we had.
I had never felt closer to Lavender than right now when we were scrubbing away our evidence together while hiding the gouges of the summoning circles on our backs from our oblivious family.
It only made the victory of getting away with it all that much sweeter when we snuck out into my room to savour the fresh sheets against our bodies that tangled together once more.
