"The guys need to get dressed," I said. A servant was coming down the stairs carrying what looked like two robes over his arms. All five men went to the rooms we had used, and we turned to the servant.
The robes were sheer silk, barely more than cobweb, and covered us both just to the bottom edges of our asses. The fabric clung to my skin, seeming to catch on every fine hair on my body, giving me the chills. Chaz and Bane came back out and stood behind me, their eyes still glowing faintly.
"Madams," the servant said when all of us were in the room again. "The council has requested you leave the apartment voluntarily. They do not wish to go against Bael in this matter. The other two are already dressed and outside."
"We need shoes," Hannah looked down at her own bare feet. "Or do they expect us to walk across the parking garage barefoot?"
"Ah, no ma'am," he said. "You both have sandals in the loft." He motioned toward the stairs and Hannah led the way up, her mates following. I walked up ahead of Bane and Chaz and realized all their power was flowing into me. None of it was going back. They were hooked to me like batteries.
At the door, Hannah and I both put on sandals made of soft supple leather that had somehow been coated with the same sheer silk. They seemed to sparkle of the fine fibers, and tied almost at my knees. Hannah's actually reached over her knees. When we were done tying on our shoes, we all paraded out into the garage.
It was still freezing, and silk does absolutely nothing to block the wind. The other women were standing in what looked like evening gowns, the mates that remained with them were in suits where our men were in jeans and various shirts with their hair mussed. There were three large SUVs lined up in the garage bookended by two smaller cars. Each of the others climbed into their own vehicles, leaving us to climb into the last one. Hannah draped herself over Kai's lap, so I took her lead and did the same with Chaz so I could stay warm.
The drivers for the other two cars didn't seem to be having the issues ours was, and it took me a minute to figure out what was wrong. Our driver was obviously aroused and having trouble getting comfortable. I leaned my head back against Chaz's shoulder, watching the man in the rearview as his hands slid up to my breasts. He nearly drove us into one of the supporting columns and the car behind us honked. After that he reached out and jerked the mirror up so he couldn't see us in the back.
"The other cars aren't having this problem," Hannah complained from the back. But when I looked, she seemed to be enjoying herself as well.
"The other cars aren't filled with this much power," I said, smiling. "The poor man just can't handle it."
"That 'poor man' driving us is one of the council members," Bane muttered, but he stretched between the seats and touched my thigh. The robe had ridden up the moment we got into the vehicle and there was no barrier between us.
"Then he should be scared, not turned on," I watched the driver. His knuckles were white as he gripped the steering wheel, and the bulge in his pants couldn't have been comfortable. I reached out to him with my power, and Chaz pinched my hip, bringing me back as the car jerked back into the lane again. "What? I was only going to give him some relief."
"If he crashes, we'll all be injured," he spoke against the side of my neck, bringing most of my attention back to him. "Stop messing with the man."
"Distractible, aren't they?" One of Hannah's men spoke up from the back. I heard her sigh and suddenly wished there had been a bench seat in the middle row.
Bane released his seat belt and knelt in the gap between our seats, pushing my thighs apart as Chaz slid his hand under the silk to my breast.
"Hey! Seat belts are to remain on!"
"Make me, little man," Bane growled, then lowered his mouth to me. I could feel Chaz straining through his pants, knew Bane was just as hard, and I wanted to roll in the power filling the vehicle. His tongue made lazy circles over my clit and I grabbed the seat in front of us with one hand, my other hand holding Chaz to me where he nibbled along my neck.
The car swerved and there was a cacophony of horns outside the window. The driver turned back around when he had obviously been trying to reach Bane in the back and almost lost control. "If you come," my voice purred, and I heard an answering noise from Hannah in the back. "It will be easier to drive. No one has to know but us." I gasped as Bane's tongue dipped into me and I could see the man straining in his seat. "I bet you're not a little man at all."
We hit a red light and the driver reached down to rub himself through his pants and moaned. I let my power reach out to him again, and this time no one stopped me. I could feel Hannah there, as well, and didn't mind her presence one bit. We could share this one. He jerked in the seat as he came, a dark spot spreading across the front of his pants as he continued to palm himself until the light changed. I arched in Chaz's lap, pressing myself against Bane's mouth as a small orgasm washed over me and I heard moans from the back. It wasn't much, but the man had helped to fuel this.
The cars all turned into another parking garage, but this one turned downward under the building. Our driver made it all the way to the drop point without swerving again, though he was once again straining his pants by the time we stopped. The others all got out of their rides like they were royalty, the drivers looking slightly annoyed. Both drivers' eyes widened when ours got out with the obvious results plastered along the front of his slacks. He walked around and opened the door and I all but rolled off of Chaz's thighs, pulling him and Bane out and closer to me on the cold concrete. Hannah and her three were right behind us, looking satisfied with themselves.
I walked slowly as they herded us toward a large entryway, letting the other two get ahead of us. "Can you feel it shifting?" Hannah asked, walking beside me as we dawdled.
She was right. The power was shifting. I could still feel Chaz and Bane flowing into me, but something else was here with me. Inside me. We had a job to do and all the power in the world to use and feed on. The people ahead of us were small, inconsequential, but the men they walked past all had a moment of terror that made me giddy. They were delicious, the air thick with their fear as we walked past.
