I mind, Hunter chimed in telepathically.
Devin ignored him, too intent on freeing her silky tresses to waste any energy on his idiot brother. As soon as the clip sprung free and her hair cascaded down around her, his body came to life. The color was unique to Earth Elves and unlike anything a human would posses. It was full of so many different variations of brown and auburn that he could have spent the entire night admiring every shade. The long ends touched the bench seat, the ends curling ever so slightly. He could visualize her walking through the forests of his people, dressed in the soft leather that all his kind wore, flowers scattered through those beautiful locks.
He wrapped a hand around the nape of her neck and caressed the soft flesh there. A shot of desire went through him when her mouth parted in a sigh and she arched forward, her perfect breasts thrust against her pink scrub top. He yearned to strip those bulky garments off to find the hidden treasures underneath.
Don’t you dare. If you want to get jiggy, don’t do it in the back of my rig. This time there was a small grunt that accompanied Hunter’s message.
Shut up and get out of my head. He tossed a glare to the front, just to make sure his brother got the point.
Unfortunately, Jorvin caught the action, her eyes narrowed as she asked, “Are you two telepathing about me?”
“Telepathing?” He couldn’t keep the amusement out of his voice. “Is that what you guys call it?”
She slapped him lightly on the arm. “Don’t try to change the subject. Were you and Hunter talking about me?”
“I’m sorry, my brother and I have communicated that way with each other for so long that it comes second nature to us.” He continued to stroke her neck. They were so close that her scent was overwhelming him. She smelled like wildflowers baking in the warm sun.
Wildflowers baking in the warm sun? Hunter snarked. What in the hell does that smell like?
“You are so lucky you’re driving,” Devin shouted. “If you weren’t, I would kick your ass.”
“Speaking of driving,” Jorvin said. “Where are you taking me?”
When she asked her question, her breath fanned against his cheek, spiking his desire to an almost painful level. “Hunter is going to drop you and me off at our house and then take the rig back to the station.”
“When he shows up alone aren’t they going to wonder what happened to you?”
“I suddenly got very sick so poor Hunter is going to have to do all the end of the night paperwork by himself.”
“You suck!” Hunter shot back.
Jorvin giggled and Devin couldn’t help but grin at the pure sound of her laughter.
“So that means you and I are going to be all alone without a chaperone?” she asked, saucily. “How do you know I won’t try to take advantage of you?”
“You won’t have a chance because I will be too busy taking advantage of you.” He moved forward those last few inches to claim her mouth. Her lips instantly parted under his assault and he slipped his tongue in to taste her sweetness. A small surge went through him when she returned his passion and then some. Slender fingers dug into his biceps as she attacked him like he was her last meal. Her tongue twined with his and met him stoke for stroke. She fingered the tip of his ear again and it was as if she touched the most intimate part of him. “Cot,” he growled against her mouth.
“What?” She licked his bottom lip before delving in for another taste.
He tore himself away. “Let’s move to the cot, I want your soft body under mine.”
A cute little flush burned her cheeks. “We can’t have sex with your brother right there,” she whispered.
“We’ll just play, I promise.” He started to rain kisses down the column of her neck, reveling in the warm, smooth, satin feeling of her flesh. “Besides, we’ll be behind him and there’s the divide separating us. He won’t see a thing.” He tensed and waited for Hunter to throw back another smartass comment. But thank the Goddess this time his brother kept his yap shut.
The cot was so close he barely had to shift their bodies and they tumbled onto it, her under him. It was almost as narrow as the bench seat, but at least it was softer and it had a bit more room to maneuver. It still wasn’t close enough for him. He grabbed one of her mile-high legs and wrapped it around his waist so he could feel the heat of her pussy pressed against his cock. A whimper slipped past her luscious lips as she rocked against him. “Fuck,” he moaned. “I want you so bad, I can’t even see straight.” His hand somehow found its way to her breast and he started to caress her through her clothes. A sharp gasp burst from her when he tweaked the nipple.
“I can’t control myself around you,” she confessed as she rolled her hips against his straining cock again.
He almost lost it right then and there and came in his pants. It was only by sheer force of will that he held back.
“What have you done to me?”
“What have I done to you?” No longer satisfied touching her through the barriers of her clothing, he slipped his hand under her shirt and started to trail his fingers up her ribcage. “If I didn’t know better, I would swear you have bewitched me.”
“No, I haven’t, I’m just being me.” She arched up in a silent plea.
He gave into her request, sliding her bra up so he could roll her nipple between his fingers. Her reaction was so raw and visceral it made him nearly blind with desire. She let out a shriek of pleasure as her entire body trembled with passion. He captured her mouth in another kiss to silence her. Not that he gave a damn whether Hunter heard or not, but he knew she would die of embarrassment later. “No sound,” he warned against her lips. “If you do, then I’ll stop.”
Her eyes dark pools of passion, she gave a slight nod of her head. Once he was satisfied she would be good, he lowered his head and took her nipple into his mouth. She didn’t make a sound, but she did grab two handfuls of his hair and pull hard. He retaliated by giving her a gentle love bite, before running his tongue over the mark, to soothe away the pain.
His heightened elf sense smelled her desire and he had to know if she was as wet for him as he thought. Since her pants had an elastic waistband that was easy enough to find out. He inched his fingers past it, giving her plenty of time to object. When she didn’t, he went all the way in until his fingers brushed against her panties. They were damp with passion and he groaned in approval. She thrust her hips up and that was the only incentive he needed to slip a finger inside her.
“You’re so tight.” He withdrew his finger and replaced it with two, her cream flowing over his hand. “I can’t wait to bury my cock in and feel every inch of you. First though, I’m going down on you and suck up all those juices.” Her hips undulated against him as he pumped his fingers in and out. “You’re going to taste so damn good, I just know it. I’ll suck, bite and lick you until you’re screaming my name. Then and only then, will I have mercy on you and claim you as mine.”
Jorvin stifled a scream by biting her bottom lip, the plump flesh white beneath her teeth. The grip on his arms was almost painful as she rode his hand at a faster pace. He reclaimed her nipple with his mouth and laved as his fingers worked her clit. A muffled whimper slipped out, but otherwise she obeyed and kept quiet.
The rig had stopped moving and he sensed Hunter outside so Devin knew they were at the house, yet he wasn’t about ready to let her leave until she had an orgasm. He wasn’t going to feel happy until she was satisfied. Devin wasn’t shocked to find that he wanted to spend the rest of his days making sure her needs were taken care of. He wanted to protect her, to make her feel cherished, to make her want no other male but him. Back in his elf clan, males would often fight to the death over a female and he used to scoff at such theatrics. Now he knew he would do that and more if anyone came between him and Jorvin. Her lithe body tensed and he knew she was close. “Go ahead, scream,” he urged. “It’s just us now so nobody will hear you. Come for me, sweet elf.”
“I’m scared,” she moaned. “I feel
like I’m falling apart.”
“That’s okay, I’ll be there to catch you.”
“Why do I feel like if I do I will never be the same again?”
He slid his lips up her neck until they were by her ear. “Because you won’t be, neither one of us will be. The moment I laid eyes on you, I knew you were mine and I was yours. You are the missing piece of me that I have been searching for without realizing it.” He flicked his tongue over the tip of her ear and that was enough to send her over the edge. With a scream so loud that Hunter probably heard it from outside, she came with a passion so pure it was all he could not to rip those baggy scrubs of hers off and bury his cock in her right then.
No, he would resist. When he finally made love to her, it would be in his bed and it wouldn’t be a quickie. He was going to treasure her like she deserved. He just needed to get to that treasuring soon before he busted a nut. He reluctantly readjusted her clothing before giving her ear a tender kiss. A smug smile tugged at his lips when he saw the point twitch at his touch.
“Let’s go inside.” He couldn’t resist brushing his cheek against her chestnut locks— they felt like the finest spun silk. “I want more of you, but not in the back of my rig. You deserve better than that for the first time with your mate.”
“Do you really believe that we are lifemates?” She nibbled nervously on her bottom lip as she waited for his answer.
“Don’t you?” He traced his finger over her sternum until it was directly above her heart. “Try to deny you don’t feel it, right here.” Devin waited for a few, tense-filled, seconds before her eyes grew soft with love.
“I could no more stop breathing than deny that.” All of the sudden she erupted into a gale of laughter.
“What’s so funny?” he demanded.
“Both you and I thought Hunter and Korin were idiots for falling in love at first sight and yet we did the same thing.”
The question that remained unanswered was whether Jorvin would be willing to leave her family behind, too. Devin’s stomach clenched at the thought of spending even one day away from her. He now fully realized how hard it must have been for Hunter this past year. He yearned to ask Jorvin if she would be able to defy her brothers. His mouth even opened to talk, yet the words caught in his throat. After being rejected by his own family, his friends and his clan, he didn’t think he could stand the rejection of his lifemate. Thankfully, Hunter started to pound on the outside of the rig and he didn’t have to broach the subject yet.
“I hate to break you two up,” Hunter’s muffled voice called in. “But if I don’t get this rig back to base, it’s going to call attention to ourselves.”
Devin reluctantly got up and hopped out of the back of the rig. Even though she didn’t need it because she possessed elf agility, he grabbed Jorvin by the waist and helped her down. As her slender body slid against his, he found himself unwilling to release her even for a second. That was until he saw the pained expression on Hunter’s face. She must have noticed it, too, because she broke off their embrace and went over to place a comforting hand on the grieving elf’s cheek.
“You will be together with Korin soon,” she soothed.
Hunter placed his hand over hers. “Thank you, I just pray to the Goddess that you’re right. I can’t live without her anymore.”
“As she can’t live without you.”
And I can’t live without you, Devin thought to himself.
A ghost of a smile played on Hunter’s lips. “After I finish with all the damn paperwork Devin left me with, I’m going to your family’s house.”
She let out an alarmed gasp at the same time Devin snapped, “That’s a stupid move.”
Hunter held up the palm of his hand in a peaceful gesture. “Don’t get all worked up, I’ll stay out of sight. I just…I just…” He took off his hat, ran his hand through his hair in frustration, before he put it back on and looked down at his boots. “I just need to be near her, even if she doesn’t know I’m there. Okay?”
Crystal tears formed in green eyes before she threw her arms around his brother and squeezed tight. “Her room is the second window to the right. You’ll probably see her, she spends most of her time gazing out of it, waiting for you.”
“Really?”
Devin’s heart lurched at the hope in Hunter’s voice.
“Really. She has never given up on you.”
He gave her a soft kiss on the forehead before he pulled away and climbed into the driver’s seat of the ambulance.
Devin came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her as they watched it pull away. “Thank you,” he said.
“For what?” She laid her head back against his chest.
“For giving him hope. Even though he’s denied it, I know a small part of him was afraid that she didn’t give a damn about him.”
She tilted her head up so she could look at him. “What can I say? I’m a sucker for stray elves.”
He chuckled. “We better get inside before we make a spectacle of ourselves in front of the whole neighborhood.”
She feigned confusion. “Why? What exactly are you planning on doing?”
“I thought I made my intentions perfectly clear while we were still in the back of my rig.” She wiggled her finely shaped ass against his cock so his next sentence was strained. “I am going to take you inside and introduce you to the finer aspects of elf mating habits.” She gyrated against him again and he had visions how it would be to bend her over a table and take her that way. Yes, he would do that first, or maybe second, definitely by the third time he had her.
“Are you going to talk all night?” she asked in a husky whisper. “Or are you going to show me how much stamina males of our kind have?”
He thrust against her ass. “You have no idea what you are getting yourself into. I don’t think I’m ever going to get my fill of you.”
“Well, there’s only one way to find out.”
She took him by the hand and led him to the front door of their small house, pausing long enough to look over her shoulder at him. He sucked in his breath at the sexual promise that made her eyes smoky and her face flush. Once they were safely inside, he shut the door behind them and pulled her into his chest. “With me, your needs, your wants, your desires will always come first. For once, someone is going to make you the more important one.”
Her lips parted in surprise and he took advantage, capturing her mouth as he slipped his tongue inside. When she responded by sucking in, he let out a groan of pleasure. Female elves were known for taking charge in the bedroom and she was living up to that reputation despite her upbringing. He grabbed a hem of her top.
“I can’t wait any longer to see all of you. May I?” She nodded her head.
Her lips were swollen from their play and her slender neck was red from his love bites. That beautiful mane of hair of hers was messed, her eyes glazed in passion. In other words, she was the most seductive thing he’d ever seen and he was about to claim her as his. He gave a silent prayer of thanks to the Goddess. After years of turning her back on him, she had finally blessed him. He slipped the shirt over her head and sucked in a breath at the sight of her perfect breasts pushed against a green lace bra. “Nice,” he praised.
“The panties match.” She took his hand and put it on the waist of her pants.
He dropped to his knees before her, his face level with her stomach. He placed a gentle kiss on the taut flesh before her circled his tongue around her navel. “So beautiful,” he praised. Slowly, he peeled down her pants so her legs were revealed, inch by succulent inch. Devin paused a few times to taste certain areas that tempted him the most—the inside of a thigh, an inner knee, a calf. Once the garment was pooled at her feet, she kicked off her shoes before he finished until she was clad only in her undergarments.
He stayed on his knees as he issued a command, “Turn around and brace your hands on the wall.” When she obeyed him, he licked his lips in anticipation. With trembling hands, he pushed her panties
down to her ankles. Immediately, he was drawn to the twin globes of her ass. He rubbed his palms over the soft flesh, reveling in way she arched her back and thrust even closer to him. “Please,” she whimpered.
“Please, what?” He rubbed his hands over her again before giving her a not-so-gentle love tap.
She shrieked in pleasure.
As the flesh turned red, he licked the sting away before giving her another slap.
“I need your mouth on me.”
Another keening wail tore from her lips as he brought his hand down again. “Here?” he asked as he licked at the reddened flesh on her ass.
She turned her head and bit her bottom lip as she shook her head back and forth.
He tapped her on the other side and laved his tongue over it. “Here?”
“Devin, you’re killing me.”
Unable to hold back his delight at finding a female who knew how to make her demands known, a chuckle rumbled in his chest. Grabbing her by her soft hips, he spun around so he faced her pussy. She was wet, the moisture clinging to her dark curls and his mouth watered in anticipation. Leaning forward, he blew gently on her clit before brushing the back of his knuckles over her slick folds. “Here? Is this where you want me?”
“Yes! Oh Goddess, yes!”
As soon as he touched her with his mouth, she shattered into an orgasm thanks to all of his teasing. So he brought her to another one, using his tongue to lick, his lips to suck and his teeth to nip. She stumbled a few times as her knees buckled and she had to grab onto the doorframe so hard her fingers turned white.
This time when she screamed his name, he couldn’t hold back any longer. He stood up, unzipped his pants and moved them down just enough to free himself. As he wrapped one of her legs around his waist and thrust into her hot pussy, she let out a choked sob. He closed his eyes as he felt her body adjust to him, the sheath as tight as a glove around his cock. He slid out before entering her again, slowly so he could prolong the enjoyment for both of them.
