Ecstasy Unbound (The Guardians of the Realms Series)

by Jay, Setta

  Sirena had high hopes for them and she seemed to want them to complete the bond soon. Alex had to agree. She trusted Sirena. The Healer was fierce, but compassionate. She knew the female’s motives were for the better of the races, first and foremost, and she respected that.

  She wished she knew more about the ceremony. About Matings in general. She felt out of sorts, nervous she’d fail in some way as she had done her whole life. She understood that they’d have to blood bond. She had to admit that taking blood was never at the top of her to do list, but she’d manage. She rubbed the back of her neck. She was filthy, yet still aroused by the heat coming off her delicious mate. They needed to talk. She needed to know what he expected of her. There was so much to learn and she needed to figure it out soon to help her brother. Not to mention her deepest desire that she’d be enough for Uri. That she wouldn’t be a failure as a mate. That her powers would really meld and she’d be able to control them as Sirena and Uri hoped. She’d been a failure so long, her gut clenched that she’d fail in her bond as well. Her heart beat faster just thinking of being the only mate that didn’t gain control of her abilities, or contribute to a Mating bond. Uri was a freaking Guardian. She refused to be a failure.

  “We have a lot to talk discuss. After. Right now I need energy and to be deep to be deep inside your hot little pussy.” He growled out low. He sent vibrations deep into the bond that somehow made her needy entrance pulse and her knees start to buckle.

  Chapter 25

  Uri let the soothing energies flow into him from the manor’s underground room. He felt restoring fuel flow in deep waves to his depleted cells. His body soaked them in greedily, causing tight muscles to slowly relax as the steaming water from the shower heads carried off the dirt and blood from his skin. He had wanted to take Alex the minute they entered the room. The scent of her, slick with need, had been driving him wild since they left Sirena’s office. She had nearly collapsed after he’d sent the vibrations of his growl through their link. He took a great amount of primal enjoyment in seeing his effect on her. His cock was rock hard, but he forced them both into the shower to clean, not wanting to slip inside her wet depths while still covered in the blood.

  He knew Alex was in turmoil. He felt her emotions rolling in waves through their growing bond. He blew out a breath, and banged his head against the stone shower wall. She’d been through so much in such a short time. She’d lost her home, unless Sirena was wrong and she would get his Guardian power to leave Tetartos. Her brother was going through hell, and she then had gotten mated all in rapid succession. He knew she had no idea of what was to come, there was so much to explain, most of which he didn’t fucking want to tell her. But the blood bond would no doubt show her all of his fucked up past. He blew out a frustrated breath. They didn’t have much time, they needed to get to work within hours, and he had to be wrapped inside her warmth before that happened. The need to fill her with his cock, while linking their minds, was all consuming. If he didn’t take care of those needs, he would be useless in helping the females.

  It still was crazy to him that, while he was able to see all of her beauty, loyalty, and skill, she saw mostly inadequacy and weakness. He understood when she’d shared her past with him. He understood how that would mold her, but, fuck. She was so much more than what had happened to her. He would someday find a way to end the Tria, but, until then, he would have to find a way to get her to see that.

  He didn’t want to contemplate how she saw him. All those females he’d fucked in front of her, getting off on the fact that she was there, watching him. Confident that she was just as hot by the game. Had she only been seeking him out because of the bond? Once the frenzy abated, would she still want a male with so many kinks? He would dominate her, it was his nature. He would push her limits. What bothered him most was that she would have his memories. Those he would much rather keep hidden.

  He felt her emotions flitting all over the place. She washed as he did, in front of the second set of shower heads in the cavernous bath. She was so close. He’d wanted to wash the dirt from her skin, but was too close to the edge to touch her when they arrived. Instead, he’d instructed her to wash, caught her annoyed look at the command.

  He turned to take in the picture she made. Her forehead touched the wall as the warm water caressed her skin. The blood and grime was washed away from her gorgeous frame. Dark strands of hair ran with moisture, and he saw rivers of it cascading down the most firm beautiful ass he’d ever seen. His breath stuck in his throat while his cock swelled to near painful thickness. With her hands braced against the cool stone, and the smooth lines of her back arching slightly, it left the perfect track for the water flowing down past twin dimples at her hips to make its way between the two tantalizingly tanned globes.

  He had to close his eyes.

  “Mmm, I guess that means you’re feeling re-energized?” Her voice came out husky and his breath left in a rush as she turned to him. Fucking hell. He felt her push waves of desire through the link, making him groan low.

  Her skin was glistening and rosy from the warm water. Her rose tipped nipples were tight. Her perfect full breasts were swollen, just begging for his mouth and hands. In an instant, he had her pinned against the wall as water flowed around them. He took her soft lips possessively, nipping, and then delving into her hot little mouth to tangle with that sweet tongue. She reversed the hold. Her strength had his back to the wall, muscles tight. He tilted his head, interested to see where she was going, he could easily change positions, but his little goddess had something in her head.

  She shook her head at him and licked her kiss swollen lips, “I’ve wanted to try something…” The sultry cadence to her voice almost drove him to his knees, but she beat him there. Oh Gods, yes. Her sweet innocence was somehow an aphrodisiac. He had no problem with her plan. His cock was begging for it. He thought the muscles of his jaw would surely shatter as he looked down. She knelt below him with water and steam gently caressing her soft, smooth skin. Droplets clung to impossibly long lashes that lowered as she licked up his length. How was she even real? It felt like he was in a dream. The best kind of dream.

  He touched her silken cheeks with the tips of his thumbs. Never had he encountered skin so smooth. And, fuck, her satiny little tongue would be the death of him. His head rolled back on his shoulders for a moment, reveling in the sensation she wrought on his aching body. His stomach and arm muscles tensed with the need to hold her down and possess her. But she’d just begun and her delicate licks and nips were making him wild. He groaned loud through the whooshing of the spray.

  She made small circles with that delicate tongue finally reaching the tip, where she swirled, then took him deep inside the wet cavern of her mouth, moaning her way down. The vibration made him clench his fists at his sides, fighting for control, he was losing it already and he really wanted the first time she took him in her hot little mouth to last.

  He couldn’t take it. His balls were tingling. Grabbing the base of his cock, he squeezed tight. Through half lidded eyes he watched as she indulged herself on his shaft. Licking and sucking as far down as she was able, then moaned deep making him jerk inside her mouth. Her lips slid back, leaving his cock shiny with saliva. Looking up, her lids were slumberous, with desire burning deep. Taking a deep breath, he smelled the sweet slide of arousal coating her skin and moaned.

  “It tastes so sweet. So good.” Her soft words added another layer his aching body couldn’t take. Closing his eyes tight, he fought the desire to pump into her wet little mouth. He didn’t want to scare her with his need to be forceful.

  She pushed into their link. It felt warm and right to have her blanket his mind. Before he knew what she was about, she showed him. He growled low. The visuals she shared were of how she saw him. Large and dominant above her, staring down possessively moments ago. Then the scene changed, with him guiding her mouth, holding her jaw and pumping against her wet velvet tongue. Taking her just as hard as he had been dreaming
of. It had to be the most erotic thing he’d ever seen.

  Swallowing hard, he looked into her eyes, as he took control of her movements. Both hands held her jaw lightly while he watched himself disappear between plump little lips. His shaft sliding out, then pushing deeper.

  “Suck hard.” He groaned the words. Her cheeks hollowed out, and he felt her moan deep again as she took some pre come in. He knew that it tasted sweet. But the thought that she was enjoying it so voraciously, told him he needed control that he wasn’t sure he had.

  “Shit, when I take you to the tip I want you to swirl around the head.” At her slight nod, he pulled out again watching as his cock came out slick.

  “Fuck, yeah. Gods, just like that.”

  “Now take it deep, and when I hit the back of your throat, breathe through your nose and swallow around me.” The muscles in his legs twitched when she did as he said and took his length deeper. The swallow against his tip had him closing his eyes on a loud groan as he pulled from her mouth.

  He was losing his mind, opening his eyes, he watched as she writhed on the shower floor. The frantic moaning, added to the enthusiasm with which she sucked him deep, made him lose any semblance of control. He picked up speed, keeping to shallow strokes, concerned he’d lose it completely if she swallowed him deep again.

  Groaning, he watched her dazed look when he thrust and took control her movements, his shaft coming out and disappearing into that sweet mouth, over and over.

  “Fuck, Alex, I’m close. I want you to come with me, touch that tight little pussy and let me feel what it’s like through the bond.” She did as he asked. He knew she was as close as he was. He felt as her soaked little pussy sucked at her fingers, pulsed against them as she pushed inside, rolled her hips against her hand. It was incredible how she ached so deep inside, using the same moist digits to circle her protruding little clit, all the while sucking in his essence. He was inside her mind, all the while being driven mad until he finally couldn’t take it. He shouted as he climaxed between her hot lips. He kept at it until he filled her up, and reignited when he felt her release. He pulled from her mouth. His legs nearly buckled as she sucked and licked every bit of come from his still half hard cock. It was one of the most powerful orgasms ever. She rested her head against his leg, panting to catch her breath. He stroked her cheeks and wet hair reverently. He would cherish her. She was his. For eternity.

  Quickly shutting off the water, he gently lifted her in his arms, grabbing a couple of towels on the way. He set one towel down on the bench before lightly setting her on top of it. As gently as possible, he used the other towel to wring some water from her hair, and started to pat and rub her body with the soft cotton.

  She stared at him, not speaking, just watching as if she’d never seen him before.

  There wasn’t an inch of skin he didn’t want to discover, with his hands and tongue. He couldn’t wait for the time when he was able to linger for days. He would worship those high full breasts and the sexy curve of her hips all the way down to that mouth-watering ass and long legs. He’d take her body to peak after peak, until she begged him to stop. But, since they’d taken some of the pressure off, they had shit to discuss. Fucking hell.

  Chapter 26

  Alex had known the talk was coming. She and Uri needed to get things straight, but all of her focus was on trying not to fall deeper for him. He was taking such sweet care of her, she could get used to such gentle pampering. Her heart almost stopped at the look in his eyes, as if he’d never seen something he cared for more. She was in red line territory. She swallowed, was forced to close her eyes, not sure if she should trust herself.

  He cleared his throat and began, “You will see my memories when we finish the mating ceremony, the blood bonding helps mates to know each other more fully. But there are things that I’d rather you not see. Things I’m not proud of. It’s going to be ugly. My time in the labs wasn’t pretty. It wasn’t pretty for any of us. I want you to ask me about it, if you see something you don’t understand.” She knew she would finish the mating, but was hoping to hold a little of her heart back. He was making it next to impossible to do that.

  If she didn’t hold a part of her back, she couldn’t help but worry what would happen when the newness wore off, if he tried to take other lovers? She would be devastated, and she would be rash. And she knew it wouldn’t be pretty.

  “Okay, maybe we need to talk about what you’re thinking first.” He was concentrating on her face. “I’ve been getting hit with your emotions and so far I could guess what might be going on in your head, but I’d rather you explained.” He continued.

  He was right, but when she hesitated, he blew out a breath and went on, “I’m new to this shit. I’ve never been in a relationship before, much less something with the intensity of a Mating. And I know you have even less to go on than I do. It’s is going to be something we are just going to have to figure out as we go. There is no precedent for us.” He paced a little.

  She cleared her throat, “Yeah, I agree.”

  “I can’t pretend to know what you’re going through, you’ve been uprooted from your home, lost your link to your brothers and now have a mate you don’t know. I get that this has to be hard for you. If we start out talking about shit as it comes, I think we’ll be better off. I assume when the link completes, it won’t allow for deceit. So I want you to tell me your concerns so we can figure it out.”

  She had to admit to cruelly feeling relieved, seeing him flounder like she was. Also comforting was that he was right. Their bond shouldn’t allow for lies. “I agree. I know humans play games in their relationships, but I don’t think I could deal with that along with everything else, so honesty works for me.” She gave him a slight grin. He’d wrapped the towel over her shoulders after drying her. And she cuddled more snuggly into it. He picked her up before she knew what he was doing, and carried her to the bed.

  “With the mated pairs I’ve seen seemed to meld differently, depending on the strengths, but there was always something peaceful and right about the match. Unless, fighting. Mated pairs become more powerful and it’s made for some knockdown, drag outs.” He looked to be thinking of more examples of mated pairs. She really was lost, looking at his beautifully pensive face. Crap, she’d even given him a free pass when he’d taken her brother’s link away.

  It wasn’t all together fair to let him deal with all the uncomfortable stuff, she took in a breath, “In the spirit of honesty, I’ll let you know my main concerns. We don’t know each other, other than what my stalking revealed about you.” She laughed a little, feeling embarrassed color rise to her cheeks.

  He grinned, so she continued, “Since I don’t know you, and obviously had no prior experience, I would feel better knowing you want this. That I’m what you would have chosen. I’ll warn you that I’m a bit bitchy at times, and may have a little bit of a temper.” She gave him a grin and continued. “I can be opinionated, and may or may not have a shoe problem that you will need to support wholeheartedly.” She looked into his eyes to glean his thoughts without entering his mind. Was he trying not to laugh?

  She needed to get to the heart of it, “I know we need to do this. Erik needs, us and the added powers will be an asset to Guardian Cause. I think it’s only fair to tell you that I think I might be possessive.” She looked down at the soft black comforter, rubbed it between her fingers. Dreading the main part of the confession, she figured it best just to get it over with. She blew out a breath. He waited, watching her with narrowed eyes. “Okay, I’m afraid if we do this, and you ever get bored with my lack of experience or otherwise… and you tried to seek other lovers, I would most likely… level something. Guaranteed, it would be you.” She hated how insecure that made her sound, but she had agreed to be honest.

  To her surprise, he barked out laughter, bringing her shocked gaze back to his glittering eyes. For a second she reveled in the rich sound, before she realized he was laughing at her. Did he think she was joking?

  “I’m not kidding. I mean, I’ve had centuries full of fantasies that I’m more than open to exploring. Those clubs you like, give a girl a lot of ideas, and I think I would be okay doing things with other people, together, but, so help me, if you ever took someone outside of our….” She squeaked when she was suddenly on her back under a very serious and highly aroused Uri. His cock was a hot pulsing weight between her spread thighs.

  Swirling mercury held her in its thrall as he held her arms to her sides, “First of all, I want this for purely selfish reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with your brother or the other Guardians.” His hips bumped that amazing erection into her sweet spot, making her moan.

  “Second, I agree to your terms that neither of us take other lovers. I find I am also feeling possessive tendencies I’ve never before experienced.” He really was lethal, she already wanted him so badly, and he was cutting down all her defenses.

  “Since I have been blessed with a mate who clearly has no equal, I have no problem being loyal in return.” Oh, yeah, that sexy rasp got to her.

  “What would make me want someone other than the fierce, loyal, blindingly beautiful, strong, powerful, not to mention intelligent, mate that was gifted to me? So, just know that I have no intention of ever letting you go. You’re mine.” Piercing silver eyes held her in place, while he let her feel the truth of what he was saying. Her head spun and things tightened down low at his possessiveness. How was he seeing her as such a powerful being? She’d shown him her failures.

  “Third, I will gladly provide you with all the shoes you’d like as long as you model them with nothing else on.” The grin he gave her was positively roguish as he rotated those amazing hips. They were both naked, and the feel of him against her was driving her wild, making her slick and swollen for him.
