Sin (The Stone Society Book 8)

by Faith Gibson

  Sin did an ab curl and grabbed her under her arms, pulling Rocky up his body. He flipped her over to her back and angled his mouth down over hers, tasting himself on her tongue. When he broke the kiss, Sin did something that should have grossed her out completely. He wrapped his mouth around the finger that had been inside of him, flicking his tongue around the digit. His eyes were wild, and Rocky’s ego swelled knowing she did that to him. “I need to be inside you, sweetheart. I need to claim you, but if you are not ready, I’ll go take a shower to calm down.”

  “I want you, Sin. I want you to claim me as yours.” Rocky swallowed hard before saying the words that would change her life forever. “I want you to bite me.”

  Chapter Twenty-Eight

  Sin had never heard more beautiful words in all his life. He had waited almost six hundred years for his mate, and now she was accepting him and everything that went with being his, yet he was still hesitant. Rocky’s mind wasn’t back to where it was before Tommy tried to kill her. She might never be whole again in that regard. If she wasn’t, he’d deal with it then, but now, Sin had a choice to make. He could bite her and pray she realized what she was asking for, or wait and have her change her mind because he refused her.

  “Sin, I know what I want. You offered me forever, and I want that with you. Are you having second thoughts? Is it because I’m not whole?”

  “No, no second thoughts.” He had promised not to lie to her, but he had with those words. “Okay, maybe I was, but not for the reason you think. This is a big step, Raquel, one that cannot be undone.”

  “Sin, please. If you want me in your life, do it. Mark me as yours.” Rocky leaned her head to one side exposing the long line of her neck.

  Fucking bite her. Make her ours.

  I’m getting there. Shut up.

  If you don’t bite her, I’ll take over.

  Sin’s beast was strong, and he had no doubt it would do its best to take over Sin’s body. Rocky didn’t need that, so he pushed her legs apart and rocked his erection against her wet pussy. With her neck on display, Sin slid his cock into her tight heat. Knowing what he was about to do had him ready to explode even though he’d just had an orgasm. This wasn’t about the release, though. This was him taking the final step to making Rocky his for eternity. His cock swelled inside her, filling her up. The more he rocked back and forth, the louder Rocky’s moans became, the deeper her nails tried to dig into his skin, the headier her scent became as her essence slicked his cock. Rocky wrapped her legs around his waist and dug her heels into his thighs, trying to pull him farther into her body. She’d done that the last time they made love, and Sin let the move guide him. It let him know his mate could take more of him. Wanted more of him.

  Sin gazed down at her, thanking the gods and the fates for bringing them together. When Rocky smiled at him through her moans, Sin knew he was going to seal the bond. He called forth his wings, and Rocky gasped. She ran her fingertips along the edge of one, and the contact was enough to drive Sin to the edge. “Rocky,” he husked, dropping his fangs. Once again, Rocky cocked her head to the side exposing her neck. The electrical current running through Sin’s body was more intense than anything he’d ever felt. His mate’s body enveloped his dick while her soul surrounded his very existence. When Sin could no longer hold back his orgasm, he whispered, “I love you,” and lowered himself so his face was buried in her neck. Sin roared as the first jet of his seed exploded inside his mate, and he sank his fangs into her shoulder.

  Rocky shuddered beneath him as her own orgasm blended with his. When Sin’s fangs bit into her skin, Rocky latched onto Sin’s shoulder, biting and sucking as hard as she could. Sin released his mouth and licked at the blood, but his mate continued to suck on his skin as she writhed beneath him. Sin retracted his wings, but he didn’t pull out. He continued to stroke her core with his semi-hard cock which was coming back to life even after two orgasms. Rocky was crazed with lust, and Sin allowed his mate to use his body. When she finally pulled her mouth away from his shoulder, she grabbed the back of his head and crashed their mouths together. Rocky sucked hard on his tongue, fucking it the same way he was rolling his hips. He knew in his heart they were making love, but damn if they weren’t fucking too. The love was there between them, but the lust was taking over, and Sin was ready to go with it.

  His mate would be sore after he got through with her, but she had all the time in the world to heal. For now, he would give her what she wanted. What she needed. And by the way she was trying to climb his body, Rocky needed it hard and fast. Sin flipped Rocky over to her knees. “Lower your chest to the bed, baby.” With Rocky lying on her chest, her ass was in the air, giving Sin the perfect angle to send Rocky over the edge. It also provided him the view her ass. Sin stroked his mate’s core with long, deep thrusts, quickening his pace with each roll of his hips. Rocky had risen onto her forearms and was rocking her head side to side. “Sin, oh God, harder,” she begged. In the position she was in, Rocky could push back against him, taking what she wanted. His mate was so fucking sexy when she went after what she craved. Sin slammed into her core over and over, his cock filling her up. “Sin… I’m… bite me again… please,” she begged. Sin knew the mate bond had already taken effect.

  “Baby, we are mated,” he said between grunts. “I don’t need to… fuck, bite you, unh, again.”

  “I want you to. It feels… oh God Sin, bite me…” Rocky’s eyes were wild as she looked over her shoulder at him. He couldn’t say no to her. Would never be able to deny her anything.

  Sin pulled her up against his chest and dropped his fangs once more as Rocky reached behind his head grabbing onto his hair. Her pussy tightened around his dick, and Sin bit his mate’s neck, making sure he marked a different spot. Her blood tasted like honey as he sucked it into his mouth. There was no trace of the foul drugs she’d been given, and Sin thanked the gods for that. He pulled his fangs back as his own release shook his body. His back arched, shoving his cock as far into her as physically possible. He held it there as his seed filled her up. Rocky panted with him as she came down from the high the release offered. Sin knew this because he was experiencing the same thing. He had heard bonding with one’s mate was intense, but he never realized it would be this explosive.

  Rocky fell forward to the bed, and Sin followed, dropping to his side. He brushed the damp hair off Rocky’s face and placed soft kisses on her lips. When she opened her eyes, they were back to their beautiful sapphire. “Wow,” she purred against his mouth. “Will it always be that intense? I mean, we had sex before and it was amazing, but what just happened between us was… crazy.”

  “It is because we were designed for each other. Everything between us going forward will be amplified. You and I will be able to sense one another’s emotions. When you are upset, I will know it. When you are happy, I will feel that too. I hope to only feel the happiness flowing through you from now own. I have already vowed to spend my life giving you everything you desire, and I promise you, today and always, to make all your dreams come true.” Sin’s eyes misted over when a lone tear rolled down Rocky’s cheek. During the last hour, their souls had combined, and Sin could feel how deeply Rocky loved him. Words weren’t needed between them.

  “Thank you,” Rocky whispered.

  “You never have to thank me for anything, sweetheart. All I have is yours.”

  “Even the Lambo?”

  “Even the Lambo.”

  “What are you saying when you call me Bella Ragazza?”

  “It’s Italian for beautiful girl.”

  “It’s nice,” Rocky said softly. Sin rolled to his back pulling Rocky to his side. She draped her body across his, and he breathed in the scent that was hers alone. He let if fill his senses completely, allowing the peace that came with it to lull him to sleep.

  When Rocky opened her eyes, the first thing she noticed was the empty space beside her on the bed. The second thing was the glorious ache between her legs. She stretched out and pu
lled Sin’s pillow to her nose, inhaling deeply. “Are you sniffing my pillow?” his deep voice asked from the bathroom door.

  “Maybe,” she said as she inhaled again. “I’ll never get my fill of you.”

  The bed dipped down as Sin sat next to her. He placed his hand on her bare leg, but kept it from roaming along her skin. “Speaking of, how are you feeling?”

  “I’ll admit I’m a little sore. But I’m ready to go again.” And she was. Rocky hoped at some point her libido would slacken, because they couldn’t stay in bed forever. Sin had business to tend to, and she… Rocky had absolutely nothing to do other than enjoy this newfound happiness. She wouldn’t dwell on the fact her mind might never recover. She wouldn’t worry about becoming a nurse. She would concentrate on getting better, and that started with food. “I’m hungry. I hope Ingrid didn’t throw out the leftover soup from last night. It was really good.”

  “If she did, she will make you more.”

  “I can cook for myself. She doesn’t have to wait on me.”

  “She does, because I pay her an exorbitant amount of money to take care of us. If you want to cook something, feel free. The kitchen, the house, everything here is now yours. I want you to decorate however you want. If you prefer new furniture, we’ll get it. The only thing I ask you not change is the garden. It was designed to replicate the garden Rafael has at the manor, and I really love the layout.”

  “Speaking of your brother, when do I get to meet him and the rest of your family?”

  “Well, we do have to travel to Greece and try to locate my mother. After that, I thought we could spend some time in Italy, and on our way home, we can stop off in New Atlanta. How does that sound?”

  “You’re taking me with you?”

  “Yes.” Sin pulled Rocky into his lap. At some point, he had taken a shower because his hair was damp. “I will not leave you behind again. I have asked several of the Clan to come along with us. Flying fifteen hours in an airplane isn’t most male’s idea of a good time, but they are not opposed to the beautiful islands we’ll be visiting.”

  “Why don’t you like to fly?”

  “Oh, we love to fly, but we prefer to use our own wings.”

  Rocky hadn’t thought about that. When Sin unfurled his massive wings the night before, Rocky had been in awe of how big they were. The softness of the leathery hide was as much a dichotomy as Sin’s cock with its velvety skin covering his hardness inside. Just thinking about it had Rocky wet and ready. She turned to straddle Sin’s lap and rubbed against his erection. “Rocky, there is nothing I would like more than to take you again, but I need to feed you. You have to keep your strength up if you’re going to get better.”

  Rocky knew this, and she was hungry, but she needed him filling her up more than she needed to eat. She leaned in and licked his shoulder where she’d bit him the night before. “Why are there no teeth marks?” she asked.

  “Our kind has special skin. It is virtually impenetrable.”

  That was convenient for her. As much as she liked biting him, she wouldn’t leave a mark. “Do you think it’s weird I like biting you?”

  “Not any weirder than me biting you. I’m of the mindset if something feels good, do it. There is nothing you can do to my body I will not enjoy.”

  Rocky ran her thumbs across both his nipples, letting her nails scrape the tips. Sin growled, and Rocky found herself on her back with her knees pushed back against her chest. Sin lowered his head between her legs and began torturing her clit. It didn’t take Rocky long for orgasm number one to rock her body, and Sin filled her up the way she needed for orgasm number two. Number three came when he made love to her against the shower wall before washing her body and shampooing her hair. Rocky had never been pampered, nor had she ever felt loved as much as she did when Sin was taking care of her. When he whispered, “I love you,” against her lips while he was drying her off, Rocky knew she’d made the right choice in giving their relationship a chance.

  Vivian had asked her to be careful the night before when she’d come to stay with Rocky while Sin was out doing whatever it was he had to do. Rocky assured her best friend she knew what she was doing. Sitting on the patio enjoying brunch felt domestic, but it also felt like home. Sin’s plate was piled high with various meats and cheeses while Rocky was enjoying a bowl of soup with a slice of Ingrid’s homemade bread. Rocky’s appetite was coming back quickly, but she wasn’t going to push her body with rich, filling foods yet.

  Sin had been on the phone nonstop ever since they’d made their way downstairs. Ingrid had prepared their food then made herself scarce, but not until she’d given them both a motherly hug. Rocky hadn’t realized how much she’d missed having a mother. It had been so long since she lost her parents. Rocky clung to the older woman, and Ingrid had held on just as tightly. Ingrid had pushed Rocky’s hair behind her ear and whispered, “Welcome home, child.”

  While they were eating, Sin explained how some humans were aware of the Gargoyles, and how their families had been serving the Clans for centuries. Ingrid’s family was one of those. It did Rocky’s heart good to know someone had been looking out for Sin until she came along. Granted, she could barely take care of herself, but Rocky vowed to do whatever it took to keep Sin from regretting his decision to mate with her.

  The next few days were spent in much the same way. During the day, Sin worked in his office when it was necessary. He took Rocky shopping for the clothes she would need on their trip. Since her wardrobe consisted of jeans and T-shirts, Sin spared no expense buying her whatever she wanted. When she couldn’t decide between two bathing suits, Sin bought them both and added one to the mix he wanted to see her in. Rocky didn’t remember owning a dress, but Sin’s eyes lit up whenever she tried one on, so she decided wearing something other than jeans wouldn’t be a hardship. Shopping tired Rocky out easily, so Sin took her home and let her order more items online. He paid for overnight shipping so her things would arrive before they left for Greece.

  It surprised Rocky how quickly Sin obtained a passport for her. When she asked how he managed, he said, “I know people,” and grinned. Her man knew lots of “people”, and she was quickly figuring out most of them were Gargoyles. The more of them she met, the more she realized how lucky she was to be surrounded by so many honorable males who vowed to protect her. When she thought back to meeting Remy at the gym, Rocky remembered the good vibe she’d gotten from him. She had that same vibe with every new Goyle she encountered.

  Sin still wouldn’t allow Ingrid into their bedroom, so mundane chores such as cleaning and changing the sheets were left up to them. Rocky didn’t mind, though. Sin had stripped the sheets and together they put clean ones on the bed. As much sex as they were having, this had become a daily ritual. The first time Sin opened a closet door and tossed the soiled bedding in without looking, Rocky thought he was crazy. The second day he did it, she asked, “Aren’t we going to wash those?”

  Sin grinned and tugged her toward the door. When he opened it, he pointed. “Laundry chute. There’s a bin in the laundry room downstairs that catches whatever we throw in.” Rocky had been amazed at the enormity of the house. She was still getting used to the amenities it offered, but a laundry chute was over-the-top crazy, and she loved it. Rocky couldn’t believe all this was actually hers, and the idea of being able to do whatever she wanted was going to take some getting used to. Having lived a harsh life with her aunt and cousin made her appreciate everything she now had. Everything Sin was giving her.

  Rocky was tired since it was well past the time she’d been going to bed recently. Still, she filled her new suitcases with the clothes Sin had bought. His own suitcase was packed and ready to go. When she was satisfied she had everything she needed, Sin carried the bags downstairs and deposited them in the waiting SUV. Since Finley was traveling with them, he had driven the larger vehicle so all their luggage would fit. The other Clan members had left that afternoon on a commercial flight so the jet wouldn’t be crowded.
Ingrid had waited up in case they needed anything. She hugged the three of them before they headed out and made Sin promise to bring Rocky back home to her. Rocky teared up at the love she felt from her new friend.

  Instead of driving his own vehicle, Finley climbed into the backseat while Sin drove and Rocky rode shotgun. She was nervous and excited about flying. Sin assured her numerous times she would love it, and it wasn’t until she was twenty thousand feet in the air that she agreed whole-heartedly. The flight was long, and after the initial thrill of being in such a luxurious jet wore off, Rocky slept for most of the trip. The bed in the rear of the plane wasn’t nearly as large as the one she’d been sharing with Sin, but it was large enough for them both to spread out. When she asked where Finley was going to sleep, Sin let her know Gargoyles didn’t require as much sleep as humans did, but if he got tired, he would stretch out on the leather sofa. Or the floor. Fin could sleep anywhere.

  Rocky still tired easily, but Sin didn’t seem to mind when she needed to nap. It was close to noon, and she curled up on the leather sofa with her head in Sin’s lap while he and Finley talked about everything from sports to family business. The one thing they didn’t talk about was the reason they were going to Greece in the first place. Rocky caught the name Alistair a couple of times, but neither male would say much about him around her.

  The food on the jet was comparable to Ingrid’s cooking, and that was saying something, especially for it to have been prepared on an airplane. Rocky had joined Andre, the flight attendant, in the galley when she’d gotten up to use the restroom. She enjoyed his company as he talked about his wife and kids. As possessive and protective as Sin was around the other Goyles, he didn’t seem to mind Rocky spending time with this human.
