Forgemaster (Book 1 in the Spirit Guide Saga)

  She smiled timidly in his direction to ask “What do you think of my surprise, Darlin’?”

  All Ethan could do was stare in awe.

  “My Love, are you just going to stand there or are you going to claim me?”

  The original question settled in first. “Kanade… wow can’t quite cover… Wow…” He gulped and she watched his neck constrict from swallowing. “It’s too much.”

  That wasn’t what she wanted to hear. “What?” her eyes widened in shock and hurt. “But I thought you’d…”

  “You’re making it impossible to not take advantage of you.” He interrupted. “I know if I take one step… I won’t stop.”

  Then she knew what she had to do. “Ethan, I cannot resist either. Just so you know” she took a steadying breath and lightly touched her hip to pull the short curtain up slightly. “nothin’s under the skirt.”

  It was too much as he burst into flames and his clothes vaporized clean off. She got a good look at him for the first time as he truly is and got excited. Her heart sped as she enjoyed how he stiffened with fire swirling around his penis like a vortex. More it hammered in her breast so as he rumbled like a beast purring. Coated in flames, his skin was much redder than naturally possible, but she noticed he was instantly and fully excited in every way. He walked forward, burning flower petals beneath him and couldn’t stop the blaze that had ignited. She held her hands out and said “Take me fully as your mate.”

  Instead he scooped her in his arms and the fire covered her as well. The tongues exciting every inch of exposed flesh, tickling her feathers, but not damaging her expensive lingerie. “You can bet on it.” Her arms wrapped around his neck.

  Runes all around the room began to glow, protecting everything from fire.

  Gently, Kanade found herself lowered into bed and felt truly alive as her mate’s passion for her burned in reality. He climbed atop her and began kissing, which she reciprocated while her hands caressed his hairy, firm chest. Her wings wrapped around him as his fire burned all over her.

  The Enchantress brushed her fingers along his jaw as he pulled from the kiss and the desire she saw in his eyes and mind made her bring him back for another kiss. She felt his raging maleness press against her thigh and she spread her legs before he had time to lay beside her. He growled, grabbed her hips and managed to pull her closer before slowly using his flaming hands to unlace the corset. The gentleness he used was opposite of how possessive she felt under his gaze while her hands explored him all over committing this moment to memory.

  Before she knew it he had the corset off and her large breasts spilled out before him. He never felt so much like a man as he made her keen and squeak as his mouth claimed her breasts, which she arched in offering to give him his desire. She moaned in pleasure as he worked and the fires that tantalized her senses. His ministrations slowly slid lower as his instincts told him to please his soul mate just to satisfy her every desire and he did.

  True to her word, he took hold of her miniskirt that had nothing beneath and slowly pulled it down her hips and she lifted so he could easily slide them down her legs he kissed all the way till throwing the fabric aside. Kneeling between her legs he gazed at her nakedness submitting to him and he said “Mine.” Before diving to her swollen, hairless sex and licking her sweet nectar and eliciting a gasp and moan at the same time.

  Kanade was panting as he hit her every erotic spot and when he said ‘Mine.’ she knew it was a fact. She was his just as much as she owned him. He must have realized she was in need as his fingers began to probe what was his always and forever. Her fingers tore through the bed sheets when hitting the right spot and the fabric loudly ripped, but he didn’t seem to notice. Her hips bucked on their own till her own possessive side had her sitting up panting “My turn, Darlin’.”

  The Elemental was flipped on his back with a rumble of the primal kind that awakened his mate’s inner beast and watched as her finger glowed a soft yellow around his burning erection to watch as suddenly his pubic hair vanished and before he could question why, her mouth consumed him while her warm, wet tongue twisted around and did things he never conceived possible in pleasure. He felt himself purring as she worked him. Her lips were as sinful as he first believed and then some and in the far recesses of his mind he realized she removed his short hairs because she doesn’t like hair in her mouth, no one did.

  When he could stand no more he grunted and she made a smacking sound with one great suck and sat up almost afraid she had done something wrong till she felt a gentle push coaxing her back. Her knees bent and spread as he positioned his tip flush against her entrance. Slowly he pushed into paradise and she moaned, accepting her one true love.

  Slowly he pushed till meeting resistance and watched her eyes widen. He stopped, but she was long past ready and wrapped her legs around his hips and pulled him in suddenly to his hilt. She hid a scram by biting her lower lip as she made him break her maidenhead. Her wings shook and read his mind of seeing her hurt. “No, don’t move, Darlin’.” She gasped. “The pain, isn’t so bad…”

  Worry for her dimmed the intensity of his flames, but still filled the whole room. “You sure?”

  “Yes, it’s startin’ to feel good… especially with the flames spinnin’ around your dick. I feel you in me doin’ something wonderful…” She gasped as she felt his flames inside her swirl with approval and more speed. “I can get used to that.” She laughed while keeping him still with her immensely powerful legs. “Ethan, when you popped my virginity, did you…”

  “Feel a burst of something zap through me? Yes.” He gulped. “Wha…”

  “It means we are now inseparable. You’ve become one with your soul mate. By joinin’ bodies we are one. Now I am truly your wife and you are my husband. I felt it too, Darlin’.” She breathed out slowly. “The pain is passin’. I love you, Ethan. Forever.”

  “And I love you, Kanade, but forever isn’t long enough. Always is how I feel for you.”

  Tears of happiness burst from her eyes as she covered her mouth and nodded. “Always then. Make love to me, My Angel.”

  Her legs loosened, but didn’t let go as he pulled out some and saw a little blood before thrusting gently back in with long strokes. Her hips matched him and soon the tears dried as passion burned her hotter than his flames roaring through the room. He watched as her strong stomach muscles tightened before he felt her inner sex muscles clench him hard and her wings seemed to seizure as she mewled and knew he had made his woman orgasm. He growled and started thrusting harder, keeping her in that state for minutes. Her hands dug in his back painfully, nails cutting into flesh had warm liquid running down, but for him it was the most exquisite torture he aroused in his woman and roared as he slammed harder as release was rushing to the surface.

  Release shot into her hot as lava as he threw his head back and roared in triumph, also making her cry out too as the celebration happened together and her inner muscles clamped on like a vice and didn’t let him go, not that he wanted to leave heaven or to stop seeing the lazy face lovingly gazing up at him with such love and adoration he knew he did something right and got full approval.

  Morning arrived too soon and Ethan couldn’t sleep at all as Kanade and he sat, with her legs wrapped around him, not letting him go. His hands wrapped around her backside while hers were around his neck. They shared breath of exertion, heavily panting and slick with sweat. Her cinnamon scent was more potent to him than ever before. Her expensive lingerie unfortunately ended up as a casualty of lovemaking war when it was all torn off somehow, even her shoes were charred remains when they were in an unprotected area where runes didn’t guard. She leaned back with a slow smile. “Promise to never leave me.”

  “We are one. I cannot leave you, nor will I desire anything close to you.”

  She leaned forward and kissed him deeply. “Stay inside me for a bit longer.”

  “Try and stop me.” His flames grew, as did something else.

  This made he
r grin more. Her legs tightened and were ready.

  Several minutes later they both quaked in release and heard Dress clear his throat not for the first time, well he didn’t have a throat, but the sound was similar.

  Kanade squeaked as she rolled off and hid behind her wings.

  “Good for you kids!” Dress hooted. “’Bout time you got laid, but you can’t stay locked inside all day. The tribunal review of Kira will be decided at eight. You two better take a shower… Awe… Kanade, please tell me that pile of ash at the foot of the bed isn’t the nightwear I made for your special night?”

  “Sorry, Dress.” She said, mortified.

  The gold face sighed. “No more. You will have to sleep naked from now on. It wasn’t an easy rush to make, especially with the embroidery, Hon. I should have known this would happen. Now that you two are together, no more.”

  “I… I can” Kanade looked to Ethan’s wide back and saw where her nails scratched him. “accept that. Sorry. Darlin’, I need to clean your back…”

  “Don’t!” he grabbed her hand before she flew out of bed. “I’m keeping them.”

  “Trial and error, Girl. Some men like being marked by their woman. Barbaric if you ask me, but to each their own.” Dress winked. “Besides, now that you two have finally gotten over being awkward, you won’t be in clothes for a while. I will likely go blind.”

  “From all you’ve seen in your life Dress, this probably doesn’t even register in the top trillion things you probably remember.” Ethan replied.

  “True.”

  “No… we won’t be in clothes for long anymore.” Kanade admitted happily. “How long were you there pervert? Voyeurism is a crime you know.”

  Dress ginned brightly from what remained of the candlelight. “Only enough to see you two were quite literally made for each other. I’ll give you a few minutes of privacy before I’m reported to the authorities.” He then spat out fresh clothes for both of them and then a pair of classy black heels for Kanade. Then Dress’s face vanished as he hooted in pleasure.

  “Care to share the shower with me?” Ethan asked as he stood up, no longer on fire. She liked what she saw greatly.

  “YES!” She cheered and jumped out. Her eyes followed his to her chest as they bounced. Then her eyes turned to his masculinity responding to her bare femininity. Fire swirled again.

  In seconds she found her back against the running shower and sudden steam room and never enjoyed it more.

  A half hour later they exited clothed and outside their bedroom door lay a finished dagger and a metal tablet with scratches that looked familiar. He knew what to do and burned it to read aloud “It’s Celestia’s and says ‘Enchantress Kanade, since you now live here I expect timely enchantments. This dagger is Yamat and belongs to Ethaerian Luci Morttia of the Thirty Second House. I still expect your superior work not to be less now that you are mated to my apprentice. Ethan, return to work tonight. Rutting will not be tolerated in my nest if your work is compromised.’ Uh, Kanade, you think she heard us?”

  His beloved shook her head and plucked the sheathed dagger from the ground. “No. I made sure the silence runes were active. It’s why we didn’t hear her working downstairs last night. And from now on…” she turned to the stone archway and pressed her finger against the rune he knew to mean silence and glowed when active. Kanade’s eyes turned from molten lustrous gold to a glowing dark blue and the very tip of her finger made a line which sunk in the wall like acid on Styrofoam to create a new one connected to the silence rune. “There, from now on, if the two of us are together inside it will react instantly.”

  “You’re a handy woman, you know that?” he grinned as she sat the dagger inside their room to do later.

  She smiled as she took his hand. “And don’t you forget it.” As they traveled down the stairs she asked. “My Angel, how is your back feelin’ truly?”

  “Fine.” He looked up. “Why do you ask?”

  “Because I accidently scratched you several times.” She said bashfully.

  “Did you feel it when I accidently plucked a few wing feathers?”

  Kanade stopped in the stifling, but empty shop and spread her wings. She knew her wings like the back of her hand. “I didn’t notice because you made me so happy, but when did you do it?”

  “After the third round. I had a fistful while you were riding on top. When you quivered your wings spread while I gripped and about six came off. Sorry.”

  “Nonsense. They will grow back soon and I was enjoyin’ myself too much to notice. Um, after lunch and Blake I’ll need to enchant Yamat, but after…”

  “I’m just getting started with you Kanade. Be prepared for more.”

  “I was hopin’ you’d say that because I’m nowhere near satisfied. You better be ready to not get much sleep.” She threatened.

  “Don’t worry about me. I got maybe four or five a day since my resurrection. At least now my sleep will no longer be alone.” He admitted.

  “If what we did was any indication, sleep will be the last things on our minds.”

  “I like the way you think.” Hope filled him as she laughed and took his hand.

  Outside there was no Storm-shadow waiting and it reminded them both of what happened. As one they said “Star-bolt.” They smiled because of it. “We should visit before.”

  “No disagreements here.” Ethan said.

  Kanade soared with Ethan at her side and was euphoric. It had been the best night of her life and she felt his emotions to know they shared the same things. Dawn prevailed and to anyone who looked up, Kanade would look like any other Spirit Guide. And Ethan was fine holding her. In minutes Kanade bypassed the Ogre entrance and touched down in the Pegesai hall.

  Hand in hand they walked with Ethan leading the way. Many winged horses were already waking and leaving. Some walked on the ground while others galloped in the air. A few merely gave a cursory glance at the pair, but were left alone. Those on the ground gave greetings before passing by.

  The Elemental pressed the doorbell, so to speak, after climbing the steps.

  Stone door opened and revealed a haggard Storm-shadow. The expression changed to surprise. “Ethan, Kanade?”

  “Hey, Storm, How’s Star-bolt?” Ethan asked while Kanade waved.

  “Resting still. Come in, but do not make loud noises.” The stallion backed away.

  Inside they found Star-bolt bandaged up and had more than just been bitten. She had cuts and scrapes all over and still fussing protectively over her was Queen Gra. The mare was in the expansive living and bedroom with her large head on her companion’s legs. Even Gra had a thick bandage over the side of her neck and forearm. Must have been one hell of a battle. He thought. Ethan bowed respectfully to the Amazon queen who whispered “What are you doing here?”

  “Checkin’ on the poor thing.” Kanade carefully knelt beside them. “What is the prognosis, Your Highness?”

  Gra delicately stroked Star-bolt’s thick neck though she could probably easily choke her as easily with those huge arms, Ethan observed not for the first time as Storm-shadow nudged him and received a much needed pat too. “The old girl and I have been through worse battles. We will live to fight once again. The doctor Witches say it will be a week before she can fly out to battle. A Ghoul broke her wing before she was bitten.”

  “I didn’t know Ghouls could fly.” Ethan said softly.

  Gra shook her head of long brown hair. “That they cannot, but they can jump twenty feet straight up. We were too low and I was thrown off. She killed the Arachne before I could lop its head off. I had to fight four more half women-spiders before my sisters could harness her and get us out. If not for the Centaur mares’ aid I fear we wouldn’t have escaped. We owe them greatly.”

  “Is there anythin’ we can do?” Kanade asked, also stroking the sleeping mare.

  “We’ve yet to eat since they brought her in.” Storm-shadow hinted.

  “Then I’ll be back soon guys.” Ethan said. “Kanade, stay h
ere.”

  “I’m not plannin’ on leavin’ till we must.” She said and used her soothing touch to calm Star-bolt further.

  Ethan left, planning on borrowing one of those food carts he saw several times before. Storm-shadow lay closer to his mate, but not in the way.

  “Your Highness, will you be attendin’ the tribunal in about two hours?”

  “No, Enchantress, but my husband did review your lover’s recording of Kira’s hunt. Said Ethan slew seven Incubi and an Elf master.”

  “He did. I watched the recordin’ closely. The Elf disappeared, but Ethan’s Drone took care of the cetin orchestratin’ the breedin’ program. But did your husband say what happened to the babies and pregnant mothers?”

  The queen nodded. “The foul spawn were safely delivered to Demon World, six of the women who were captured, delivered and the five others shed the young as according to the agreement of four month pregnancy. The eleven women had their minds cleansed of all that occurred and will be returned to their families once the healing spells make it as if they were never pregnant and raped to begin with.”

  “My angel will be glad to hear this.” Kanade said.

  They were quiet for the next half hour till Ethan arrived with the cart loaded with food. The aroma roused Star-bolt enough for her to be handfed by Gra before falling right back to sleep. Ethan was grateful for the news and also informed Gra that a half dozen Amazon subjects were outside and almost didn’t let him in. The Queen merely waved it off as if it were a trifle matter. The rest of the time was spent in silence, just being there for Star-bolt. Storm-shadow was truly grateful for such friends. Even Blake stopped by for a visit along with many of Storm-shadow’s many offspring. The Naga said he’d wait once the tribunal ended.
