  He swiftly pulled his jeans off, his cock springing to attention. She gave him a slow, sexy smile as she patted the empty section of mattress next to her again. Kheelan shook his head as he reached down and gripped his rock-hard cock, slowly stroking himself. Morrigana always loved to watch a man pleasure himself and could feel herself getting slicker by the minute. She hadn’t known that it was possible to be so aroused that she felt she was going to lose her mind if she didn’t get some sort of release soon. Morrigana crooked her finger, inviting him one more time to join her on the bed. Kheelan shook his head, a playful smile teasing his lips as he continued to pleasure himself, using long strokes starting at the base of his cock and slowly moving his hand up to the mushroom tip. When his pace quickened and his head fell back, she moved to the edge of the bed and the bottom drawer of her nightstand. Morrigana reached inside and retrieved her favorite toy, pulling out the blue vibrator with the rabbit ears on the side. She set the toy on the bed next to her and looked at her lover once again. His head was still thrown back and his hand was moving faster drawing her attention from the look on his face to the drop of pre-cum glistening on the tip of his cock. Licking her lips, she crawled to the side of side of the bed where her eager lover was standing, bringing her vibrator with her. As soon as Morrigana reached her destination, she licked the pre-cum off of the tip of Kheelan’s cock, enticing him to let out a low moan. Giving him a knowing smile, she replaced his hand with her mouth. A growl escaped his lips as his hands gripped her hair. When Morrigana turned the toy on Kheelan’s head jerked up at the sound and he watched as she moved it to her inner thigh. Giving him a wicked smile she rubbed the vibrating toy along the inside of her right thigh, moving it closer to her dripping pussy, teasing herself as much as her lover.

  Just before Morrigana finally gave into her teasing and brought the toy to the spot she wanted it to be, Kheelan dropped his hand and climbed onto the bed. He took the toy from her grasp and set it off to the side, covering her body with his. Kheelan kissed his way down the front of her body, spreading her legs apart so that he could reach the spot he was seeking. Morrigana squirmed under his attention, knowing that she wasn’t going to be able to hold out much longer.

  He blew a soft breath onto her hot pussy, “I’m really going to enjoy this.”

  Kheelan gave her inner thigh a tentative lick, smiling as she squirmed again. He gripped her thighs and pulled her closer, giving her what she wanted. Morrigana gasped as Kheelan licked the length of her pussy, focusing on her clit. Flicking it, he gripped her thighs a little tighter, keeping her from scooting away. Stretching himself out, he settled between her legs and slipped his tongue as deep as it would go; swirling it around and relishing in the taste of the lovely Reaper lying before him. Kheelan pulled his tongue out and wrapped his lips around her clit and sucked, humming while flicking his tongue over the nub.

  Morrigana moaned as her hips moved off the mattress of their own accord, trying to get a friction that wasn’t there. He slipped his finger deep inside of her as he continued to flick her clit, making her wiggle under his ministrations. Kheelan could sense that Morrigana was close and he started licking her faster, ready to taste her nectar. Her hips moved faster as he moved his finger in and out while sucking on her clit. He felt it when her orgasm hit, from her clamping down on his finger to the spasms wracking her body. The walls of her pussy clenched greedily at his finger as she shouted out his name, flooding the bed with her juices. When Morrigana finally came down, Kheelan knelt beside her with a smile on his face and his cock in hand. She gave him a wink and sat up on her knees. Pushing him down onto his back, she straddled him gasping as she slid his cock deep inside of her. Quickly finding a rhythm, Morrigana worked quickly to bring him to his own climax.

  Chapter Sixteen

  MORRIGANA CUDDLED CLOSER to Kheelan, running her fingers up and down his chest, “Well, that was something. I really hope we get to do more of it after we complete my mission.”

  She propped herself up on her elbow and looked at the man lying beside her, “Weren’t you saying something about needing to grab a lantern from your hotel room before we could go to my target’s house?”

  He propped up on his own elbow next to her, “Uh, yes, yes I was. That lantern is very important for you to have. You can’t gather any souls without it. I probably should have said this before but the lantern we’re talking about is yours. So, when we return home and you meet your family, you’ll know what you need to do and exactly how powerful you are.”

  Morrigana nodded her head, “Well then I guess we had better get out of this bed and get back to business. After all you said we only had two weeks to accomplish the goal of collecting this scumbag’s soul and returning it to my people.”

  Kheelan sat up and moved to the end of the bed, “That I did. Say can I take another shower? I need to get the smell of sex, and you, off of me if I’m going to have a chance at concentrating on business.”

  She smiled as she sat up herself, “Sure thing. You know where the bathroom is. Try not to use up all the hot water because I’m going to need a shower myself. Work out some of these aches and pains.”

  Morrigana gave him a wink as she got off the bed and watched him stand with her. Kheelan chuckled as she pulled her sweat pants and shirt on, waiting until she was dressed before moving past her toward the hallway and the bathroom. Morrigana was grinning from ear to ear as she gave his ass a swat as he passed her. She moved to her closet, trying to decide what outfit would be best to wear for her mission. Settling on a pair of skin tight black jeans and one of her UCLA T-shirts, she took the chosen clothes and laid them out on her bed. Returning to the closet she pulled out her sneakers and placed them on the floor in front of her bed. Nodding her head, Morrigana moved out of her room and headed into the living room to go over the information about her target once more.

  As she padded in her bare feet past the bathroom, she thought she heard him talking to someone. However, when Morrigana knocked and Kheelan opened the door, the room was empty except for him and it didn’t look like he had a cell phone. She heard the water running in the tub so she peeked around the door, looking in the small space. Morrigana didn’t see a shadow on the shower curtain so she looked at Kheelan with a smile. Her gaze landed on the steamy mirror before she met his gaze and she thought she saw a shimmer.

  Kheelan moved into her view, blocking the reflective surface, “Did you need something, Morrigana? Maybe to join me in the shower?”

  He gave her a wicked smile hoping to tempt her into conserving water.

  Morrigana shook her head, a smile tugging on her lips as she answered him, “As tempting an offer as that is, Kheelan, I have to decline. I want to go over the information about Perrie while you’re showering and then I’ll take one. It’s just, uh, never mind.”

  Kheelan grabbed the hand that was resting on the doorknob, “Just what, darling?”

  She laughed at her sudden paranoia, “Well, it’s just I thought I heard you talking to someone and thought I would make sure you hadn’t snuck someone into my house when I wasn’t looking.”

  He shook his head and joined in her laughter, “Nope. No one in here except me. Maybe that’s what you heard, me talking to myself. I was mentally going down the list of things we still need to iron out and the game plan we have so far. Are you sure you don’t want to join me in the shower?”

  Kheelan gave her a cheeky grin and she laughed, a sexy laugh, low in her throat.

  Morrigana shook her head, “No I want to iron out this plan I have in my head before I run it by you, and to do that I need to check out Perrie’s file again. So, you enjoy your shower and I’ll be in the living room with the file folder going over everything. Is there anything else in that file concerning the case I need to look at?”

  He stepped into the hallway and led the way into her living room.

  Kheelan pulled out a manila envelope from a briefcase he had set next to the couch and handed it to her, “You
can go over all of this while I’m in the shower. We can talk about it after you’ve had yours. Don’t forget to go over the other papers in the file folder on the coffee table.”

  Morrigana nodded, and then swatted his naked ass as she said, “Then get going, big man. I’d like a shower before we run out of daylight.”

  He was shaking his head and chuckling when he returned to the bathroom. She sighed, a small smile on her lips, as she moved to the couch with the envelope. Morrigana opened the file folder on the coffee table, pulling the photo out and setting it next to the papers she had left sitting on the couch when she and Kheelan had taken their detour into her bedroom. She opened the envelope and started perusing the papers.

  Chapter Seventeen

  KHEELAN RETURNED TO the bathroom, closed the door, and wiped the steam from the mirror. He looked into the gold eyes of the man standing by his side to over-throw his father.

  Oren glanced around what he could see of the small space of the bathroom, “Was that her?”

  Kheelan nodded, “Yes that was Morrigana. I truly believe she’s the one we’ve been waiting for. Let’s put aside the fact that she is the baby thought lost twenty years ago, I can feel how powerful she really is. I can’t wait to see her tap into those abilities and do what her family has asked her to do.”

  The older Fae looked at his younger brother with a small amount of concern hovering in the back of his eyes, “Just don’t fall for her, dear brother. She’s not one of us and she likely won’t give up her heritage for one lone man, be he human or Fae.”

  Kheelan gave his brother a shocked look, “What makes you think that I’m falling in love? With her or anyone? She’s a means to an end, big brother, nothing more. She’ll complete her mission, show us how powerful she truly is, and I’ll complete mine. We, you and I, shall accomplish our plan to overthrow father and show our people a more compassionate leader, whether it be you or I and that will be the end. There is nothing else involved in all of this.”

  His older brother gave him a knowing look before replying, “I know the signs to falling in love, little brother, because I have done it myself. Even though we had planned on me not returning from my warrior training assignment when I left the mound so many years ago when I called father and told him that I had fallen love with a human I wasn’t lying. You need to be sure that you are alert while she is collecting this man’s soul. Be sure that your head is in the game so that there are no fuck ups. Getting father off the throne and leading the Dréggors Clan needs to be paramount. Have you told Morrigana what else she is being used for?”

  Kheelan shook his head, “I didn’t want to overwhelm the poor girl. She has found out that she is a Grim Reaper, that her very name means Death and that her people need her to complete a mission that should have been completed three years ago. Not to mention the full reasoning behind her specific target. I’m not sure how she would take being told that she is being used to help us take our clan from an overbearing ruler.”

  Oren chuckled, “I suppose you’re right however she is going to find out eventually. Maybe you should give her a heads up?”

  Kheelan gave Oren a dirty look, “I don’t feel that is wise, big brother. We need her to complete her mission first before we pile anything else onto her plate.”

  Oren nodded, “Okay, do things your way. Except be sure that you don’t lose sight of the prize, Kheelan. I would hate for you to lose your heart, and head, and it not be returned. As you well know sex can be addictive, especially for the warrior Fae and I’ve heard that sex with a Reaper is even more so. Just stay alert and be sure that the girl taps into those powers you seem to feel that she has.”

  Kheelan tipped his head to the side and replied sarcastically, “What am I supposed to be wary of exactly, older brother? The girl herself, falling in love or the sex? Please be more specific in your warnings.”

  Oren smiled grimly at his younger brother’s sudden attitude, “You seem to have developed some strong feelings for her already, little brother. Are you certain you’re going to be able to complete your mission and part ways with her when you return her to her people? Remember that our clan is depending on you to make good on our promises to them.”

  Kheelan returned Oren’s smile with a cruel one of his own, “Never doubt my abilities to accomplish our plan, dear brother. I think you’ve been away from Faerie far too long. Also, you need to remember that Morrigana has lived among humans since she was born. She may surprise you with her decisions and actions.”

  With that, Kheelan cleared the mirror and took his shower.

  Chapter Eighteen

  MORRIGANA HAD JUST finished reading the last of the paperwork from the file folder and the manila envelope concerning Christopher Perrie. She had found his address and his daily routine. Morrigana committed everything, including his face, to memory except she had some questions concerning her mission that she needed Kheelan to answer before they left her house. She returned everything to the envelope, those questions swirling around her head, as Kheelan walked into the living. He was fully dressed and his hair was still wet as he made his way through the length of the living room to the lone chair and had a seat.

  Morrigana smiled at him, “So I’ve looked over everything and I have some questions for you, however they can wait until after my shower. I should only be about fifteen minutes, tops.”

  She stood and headed to the bathroom. Morrigana stepped into the small room, still steamy from Kheelan’s shower and started the water, setting it to the temperature she preferred. As she was stepping into the bathtub she felt as if someone was watching her. Morrigana looked around the small room, thinking that Kheelan had joined her without her knowing, except she saw no one. Shrugging, she closed the shower curtain behind her and stepped under the water. The spray worked out the small aches and pains Morrigana was feeling after her sexercise session with Kheelan. She reached for her shampoo and washed her hair, taking a minute to let the water run over her neck. Morrigana conditioned her hair and then washed her body, all the while feeling as if she wasn’t alone in the room.

  She turned the water off, letting the steam surround her as she reached for her towel and wrapped it around her body. Morrigana was still working on getting the questions she had in some sort of order so that she could discuss them with Kheelan. She knew that the most important thing to her mission was collecting Perrie’s soul, and the warrior Fae had explained how she was supposed to accomplish that, however entering his home was a speed bump for her. Morrigana had a seedling of a plan hatching in her brain as to how she was going to approach him. According to the file Kheelan had given her of her target, he had a thing for college girls, the younger the better. She still felt like she was being watched but couldn’t see anyone. Morrigana wrapped the towel around her tighter and opened the bathroom door, intent on going into her room to get dressed into the outfit she had laid out on her bed. Glancing one last time around the room she was in, watching the steam swirl through the small space.

  Shrugging again, she stepped out of the bathroom and made her way to the room she needed to be in. As she walked down the hallway the gold colored eyes in the mirror watched her leave. Morrigana stepped into her bedroom and grabbed her sexy, lacy black bra and panties set, slipping them on before she stepped into her jeans. Pulling the UCLA T-shirt over her head, she sat down and reached for her sneakers. Making sure that they were tied tight she made her way over to the full-length mirror hanging behind her bedroom door and gave herself a once over. Satisfied that she had achieved the look she was going for, Morrigana made her way into the living room to ask Kheelan the questions burning in her mind.

  KHEELAN LOOKED UP AS Morrigana entered the living room and smiled. She was dressed like the typical college co-ed and he knew that she had read everything he had brought with him about her target. He could tell in her mannerism that she was ready to get started and he was more than ready to get the business portion of their relationship out
of the way. Kheelan was done talking and was sure that she was as eager as he was to find out how strong her powers were.

  He watched as she approached the couch and had a seat, “You said you had questions?”

  Morrigana looked him in the eye and took a deep breath, “How am I supposed to extract Perrie’s soul and place it this lantern of yours?”

  Kheelan nodded approvingly at her blunt question, “That’s where the abilities I have told you that you have come into play. They will manifest when the time is right. I can’t really explain the process because I’m not a Reaper, but the way it was explained to me by your mother when she approached me it is something that comes from deep inside of you.”

  She nodded, “Why does the Valsten Clan feel that taking this man would make the perfect mission for me to prove that I am one of them? I mean, I’ve read all of the info you brought but something seems a bit off to me, as if I’m not getting all of the story.”

  He took his own deep breath, “Well it appears that Perrie has grown stronger rather than weaker in the last twenty years. So not only would his soul be the perfect testing ground for powers of a Reaper living among humans for that amount of time but his habit of collecting Fae creatures to keep himself young and powerful make him public enemy number one. To have you, a Reaper who has been thought lost to Faerie and her people, approach him and collect his soul was the best plan in everyone’s opinion. He won’t be expecting such a human looking Reaper to come after him.”

  Morrigana’s eyes lowered to the picture of the man in question while Kheelan spoke. She supposed his theory was a sound one, except she still wasn’t sure she had any powers. Shrugging, she looked back at her companion as he cleared his throat.
