  “Would it be so bad?” I can’t miss the hurt in his voice, I realize, no it wouldn’t. It could be the very best thing ever. Here before me is this man, who has a wall so similar to my own, but still willing to lay his heart at my feet, entrusting it to my care. I look at his face, a trepid smile curves my lips, and my eyes go dreamy.

  I throw open the doors to my soul. Something must have shown, something he could recognize, causing him to relax and his own love bloomed on his face. Framing my face with his hands, he brings his lips to mine. It is a gentle soul-shattering kiss. One that binds me to him. He kisses me as his fingers stroke along my skin. Suddenly, I’m lifted in his arms, he strides through the house to our room, kicking the door closed behind us.

  My feet slide to the floor bringing my body flush with his. Reaching out, he pushes a strand of my raven hair from my face, brushing his fingers along my neck. My sensitive skin tingles at his touch, a shiver working its way down my spine. He bends his head, his tongue tracing the path his finger just took. It sets my body on fire, the flames rushing downward.

  My body melts into his, my nipples have hardened almost painfully. I run my hands up his back, tracing the definition of his muscles. There is something wild rising in me. Brought to life by the aggression I feel barely leashed in him.

  I brush my lips against his golden chest, my tongue slips out tasting his skin, flicking his nipple. He sucks in a breath, it tickles along the outer edge of my ear. His hand bunches in my hair, right at the scalp, he pulls my head back. His eyes are glowing with need as he descends on my mouth, devouring me. The entire world drops away, it is just the two of us.

  “I need to feel you, your skin against mine.” It is a demand, I willingly give in to him. He tears the clothes from my body, I feel frenzied. Taking his time, he tastes my skin, murmuring about magnolia blossoms. Running my fingers through his hair, I let my nails scrape along his scalp. My stomach flexes as his tongue dips near my belly button, moving to the flare of my hip. Teeth gently nip at the bone. Pulling him up, I kiss him, a slow languorous caress of our lips. He mirrors it in the unhurried stroke of my breasts. Cupping them, he kneads them slowly before circling my erect nipples with his thumbs. Using his nail, he flicks and teases them.

  A slow, molten fire burns through my body, pooling between my legs. My core is already wet, but now even the outer lips glisten with my need. Taking over the kiss, he plunges deep within my mouth. His hands are everywhere. Ending the kiss, he moves to my neck, having already learned my weakness, knowing his teeth there will drive me higher. When it comes, the bite is hard. Skating the line between pleasure and pain, causing me to moan, he holds the bite for a moment, before licking away the sting. Moving down, he burns a path with his teeth and tongue to my breast. His tongue replaces his hands, I arch into his greedy mouth, his name on my lips, asking, no, begging for more. Looking down watching his mouth work my nipple, makes me burn hotter. His eyes roll up catching my gaze, lust and love is shining from his bright eyes.

  Rising to my full height, I step back from her, slowly pushing my pants from my body, eyes never leaving her body. She stands, her chest heaving, legs spread slightly, my cock jumps at the sight of her slick wet pussy. Biting her lower lip, her eyes go glassy with need when she sees my reaction to her. Stepping close, I place my hand on her chest between her breasts, feeling her heart pounding. I let my need and wants fill my eyes as I shove her back onto the bed. Her eyes flare in excitement before the lids lower halfway in desire, watching, waiting to see what I'll do next. Fisting my throbbing cock in my hand, I move between her knee and use my own legs to shove them wide. I stroke up and down as I watch her shift restlessly in need.

  “Grab the headboard and don’t let go,” I growl at her; she smiles as she complies quickly. I don’t fail to notice the flare of her arousal at the command. Tracing her peaked nipple with the fingers of my free hand, I watch her body twitch in response. Watching her face, I pinch it hard, reveling in her sharp inhale. Her eyes never waver from my cock, my hand pumping it slowly. Bending, I flick her nipple with my tongue watching her flinch, her body strung tight with need. Drawing it into my mouth, I suck hard, her need driving mine. Letting it pop free, my breath quickens at the sight of it wet and darkened from my attention.

  “God, Kai, more, I need more.” she is panting, breathless, her plea plucks at my control.

  “It’s my plan to give you everything and more, Sparrow,” I growl at her. “You just have to trust me.”

  Her eyes find mine, and they are filled with love. “I trust you with everything, all of me, body and soul.” There is permission in her admission. Her eyes fall back to my hand on my manhood, she is unaware of her tongue slipping out to lick at her lower lip. I have dreamed of those lips wrapped around me.

  Crawling over her, I place a pillow under her head and my hand over hers on the headboard. I look at her one more time to give her an out, but she just smiles up at me. The sight of my erection so near her mouth pushes me over the edge. Releasing myself, I run my thumb along the seam of her lips, pushing it inside, she sucks gently on it. Shifting my legs wide it is my turn to shudder as her tongue curls around the head of my dick.

  **********

  I tug at my hands wanting to touch him, but he tightens his grip. His manhood is swollen, pulsing, the taste of him addicting. I take long slow licks, one after another until the head is pushing at my lips, demanding entry. I make him wait, relishing in the power I have. Time freezes as he fights his needs, his voice suddenly caressing through my mind.

  ‘Dammit! Woman, suck it.’ his muscles are locked tight with his need. Opening my lips I draw him in, his hips jerk. Sliding down his length, rubbing my tongue over as I go down. He releases my hands with a warning not to let go ground through his clenched teeth. The next moment his hands are in my hair. And I freeze, unable to stop the images of Dorran. My panic flashes in my eyes and Kai sees it. Releasing my hair he pulls free, apologies falling from his lips. I see the self-loathing etched in his face and before he can move a way I grab him. “Just give me a minute Kai, I just need a minute, please. I can do this I won’t let him take you from me.” He is shaking his head but I wrap my hands around his thighs, my nails digging in to hold him in place. I slowly run my tongue down the underside and he curses. Trying to loosen my hold on him but I am determined. I draw him in, taking him deep, deeper than I thought I could, the head lodges at the back of my throat. Rolling my eyes up to him I hold him there for a moment before drawing it back out. “See I’m okay. I just got lost for a second but you led me back to us.” Drawing him into my mouth again I start a slow assault on his control. It isn’t long before he takes over, watching my face for any signs of distress. When he doesn’t see anything but pleasure, he holds my head steady as he begins to thrust slowly. I’m drenched, my core throbbing. His thrust deepens, he can’t help himself.

  “Fuck baby, relax, take all of me.” I try to open more to him, letting him slide deeper, his hands tightening, even more, stinging my scalp. His thrusting becomes frantic, losing his control. “Not like this, too hot, I want more, you. I have to stop.” Pulling free he tries to rein himself in, as I gasp feeling empty.

  *********

  Sliding down her body, taking a minute to catch my breath, slow my heart, I take her mouth kissing her deep. My hands glide down her side, gripping her hips, stilling her undulations. Breaking away from her mouth I look down her body, she has begun to chant, begging me to fill her, but I can’t, not before I taste her. I want to bury my tongue deep within her and lap it up, eat my fill. I think of the taste of her constantly; it is my addiction. Even now I inhale her scent, warm and spicy like the city she so loves.

  I rub my thumb over her entrance, so wet and slick with her need. She watches me as I bend, taking a long slow lick along the entrance to her, her hips flexing upward as a keening moan is wrenched from her.

  “God, I love how wet you get for me.”

  I slip my ha
nds under her butt, lifting her up so I can feast. Long licks with just enough pressure to have her climbing but I keep release just out of reach. Spearing her deep with my tongue, I curl it in, stroking her, over and over, then back to the slow licks. She arches her hips, rubbing against my mouth trying to find release.

  “Please!” she whimpers in need.

  I use my teeth on her sensitive numb, as I thrust a finger deep in her, she screams as she as her orgasm explodes from her, I feel her muscles deep within her tightening, clamping down and my cock throbs in response. I hold my tongue against her clit, making tiny circles while keeping the pressure on, her legs are quivering as she starts to climb again, her hands come down to grab my hair tight, pulling me against her core demanding more. I lick her hot spice from her body, holding her hips still. “I can’t Kai, no more.” she is moaning. She just grabbed him and demanded more.

  “So much more love, so much more.” I murmur against her clit.

  I take one last long lick, catching as much of her cream as I can on my tongue then, shifting my hand, I flip her over. Pulling her hips up and back, I place my hand in between her shoulders forcing her head to stay down. I nudge her entrance with the broad head of my cock, pausing as I commit the image to my memory, her glistening pussy wrapped around me.

  *******

  My body is on fire for him. For one moment I am worried about his size in this position, but in the next moment want it. Needing the pleasure-pain of the position. Gasping I shudder as he begins to push through my soaked folds, stretching the muscles, pushing until he there is no more to push, seating himself fully. He is still, letting me adjust to the fullness. Pulling out almost completely, he pauses tightening his grip on my hips and slams back home. Waves of pleasure have me crying out.

  *********

  I intend to take my time, but she is so tight. I feel her muscles clamping down on me. I fight for control I don’t have. Wrapping my arm around her I push into her harder, pounding her flesh, I hear her cries of pleasure. She is chanting once more, looking for her release. As my control frays, I bend over her and sink my teeth into her neck, and at the same moment circle her clit with my finger. I bury myself deep within feeling her muscles begin to milk my cock as she shatters into a million pieces. My release is savage, starting at my feet. I pump her full of my hot semen. I stay locked in her for long minutes until I feel her swaying. Rolling to my side, I pull her down with me and slide from her body. Catching our breaths, we lay together.

  “I don’t think I will ever move again, just leave me here.” She laughs a little.

  “I know I can’t. “ I nuzzle her neck, liking the mark I see there, sighing she shifts back. “I love you, Sparrow,” I whisper in her ear.

  “I love you too, Kai.” My heart surges at her admission. My hand glides over her body as we lay in silence, I love that she shivers even now with need.

  We spent the day in bed; I took her again and again. Finally, we slept, I awoke with my arms around her, the scent of magnolias in my nose and her taste on my lips. I could wake her and take her again, but instead, I pull her closer and marvel at what the fates have given me. We have so much to figure out, but she is mine. Before the Guardians had been his only family, but now with her, he had a home. That’s what she felt like to him, a safe haven. She shifts in her sleep, her bottom sliding against my manhood. Groaning I slowly roll away from her before I slide my lengthening erection back into the heat of her.

  Easing off the bed I turn but I find myself looking back as I hear the sheets whisper with movement. She rolls to her back, and my breath catches, as her perfect breast come into view. I fist my hands to keep from reaching out for her. I can see the little marks I have left on her body. It shouldn’t bring me as much satisfaction as it does. I stomp into the bathroom, hardly managing not to slam the door, irritated with my lack of self-discipline.

  ********

  The shower wakes me; I can hear him grumbling about something to himself. How could the man be aggravated? We spent the day fucking like bunnies. I feel like I should be offended, he should be in a great goddamn mood. Stretching, I groan. Geez, I’m sore, like inside out. He’s going to have to share that shower. If I can even walk there. He might’ve broken me.

  I giggle, I can’t wait to tell Emma. She is going to die.

  When I open the bathroom door, the steam hides him from my view. Finally, I see his body and his eyes are on me. Opening the glass door I step in, hissing at the heat on my sensitive skin.

  “Let me cool it off.” reaching to turn the faucet his eyes never leave mine. I stop his hand, “Leave it; I’ll get used to it, already am, besides I need it. You made me sore.” I was kidding, but something flared in his eyes. “Hey, I’m just joking, you know I loved every second of it. What’s wrong?”

  Shoving his fingers in his hair, he frowns. “I ...shouldn’t have been after you like some rutting animal. I should have been gentler.”

  “WHAT!” I glare at him a little. ”Did I ask you for gentle? Did I tell you to stop? No, I didn't! So I don’t want to hear any of this bullshit.” I grab his dick gently, rubbing my fingers along it, “I loved it. I love you. Now get over here and kiss me.” I’ve barely finished speaking when his lips crash into mine. I will admit a smug smile curved my lips.

  Much later, I am running my soapy hands over his body, and I can’t help thinking how lucky I was to have found him. Then I remember my mom's letter, was it luck or did she know I would find my love here in this land like she did. Patrick’s voice rings out from the hallway. “I’ve made a roast if you would like to join us.”

  “Yeah, come up for some air you two.” Michael pounds the door as he races by.

  Laughing I look at the scowl on Kai's face, “I suppose we should eat.” My body appears to agree because right at that moment my stomach decides to growl extremely loud. Kai’s can’t hold his chuckle inside and reaches around me to turn off the water, kissing my neck as he does, a shiver runs the length of my body. I quickly step out, wrapping the towel around my body I glance at him over my shoulder, heat lingers in his eyes.

  As we dress, he keeps glancing at me. “What?” Knowing he has something he wants to say. “I was wondering if you would go with me tomorrow, I have some place I want to show you.” Relief seeps through my body, I had thought maybe something was wrong again.

  “Of course, I would love to spend another day with you, just the two of us. It’s just the two of us isn’t it?”

  He grins, “Yes, just us.”

  When we are dressed we head to the kitchen, the smells making my mouth water, my stomach really starting to protest the wait. As we sit together we discuss, what the next steps should be. Do we go after Thorne? Do we alert the other clans to the danger the Order poses. How do we even contact them? I’m still waiting to get the total corporate breakdown from my girl.

  The boys and Jason are frustrated with our progress. Patrick is having a hard time cracking the laptop he found at the mansion. I can help with that. And by help I mean I’m calling my hacker to see if she can get us in remotely. She doesn’t answer so I leave her a message to call Patrick with his number. We decide to wait a few days before we do anything else. Hoping in that time we get into the computer and find all the other locations of property owned by Thorne. It is near midnight when we all amble off to our rooms.

  I hug them all even the grumbling Jason, he gives himself away with the whispered. “Sleep well, Kukla.” I kiss him lightly on the cheek, before turning into Kai’s arms. Walking to our room, we change and climb into bed. Soft kisses before falling asleep wrapped around each other.

  He wakes me before sunrise and we dress. Quickly leaving the house, he leads me to a black Range Rover. “Whose is this?” I haven’t noticed it before. “It’s mine, I had a friend drive it down yesterday.” Running his hand over the hood, he gazes at it, I would be jealous but I’ve looked at shoes that adoringly before. We pull out and head north on the highway. He reaches for my leg, rubbing circ
les on it before taking my hand. The road winds us through the Highlands as we travel north. We drive for a few hours, then he slows and we turn onto a small dirt road leading into a small forest, with rolling hills surrounding it. His hands grip the steering wheel tightly and I reach for his arm rubbing it. Concerned I look out the window, wondering what could have him so upset.

  When we finally stop, we are at the edge of a clearing. Glancing at him I see he is far away lost in thought. “Kai?” He startles at the sound of my voice, looking my way he gives me the barest of smiles. It’s more like a grimace. “What is it, babe?” I use the endearment hoping to startle him a little. His eyes jump to mine and I see it has worked. He climbs out and comes around opening my door, takes my hand and pulls me out. Leading me to the center of the clearing, he doesn’t speak for a moment.

  “This is where my village was. Right here was where my family was taken from me. Years ago, when land began to be bought and sold, I bought it. We settled here by the river, close to the coast, benefiting from both the ocean and the forest. I haven’t been here since I bought it.”

  I turn looking at the beauty of the place, I can’t see the river, but I can hear it close. “It’s beautiful, Kai.” He is also looking around.

  “I couldn’t stand to be here because I longed for them, my family. Now you are my family.” He turns to me with love shining in his eyes.

  “Aislin, did your father explain the joining vows? I know he wanted to do them with your mother, had planned to when he had gotten her back here to Scotland.”

  My eye widen. “Yes, well I mean some of it.” My heart is pounding, I know I can’t imagine my life without him.

  “We Guardians have a destined mate, a soul mate joined to both the human and the dragon souls. Long ago when it was realized that it is destined, rare and that we live for much longer, Danu wrote vows to join our souls together, magic to link our life forces. So our destinies would gain our longevity. Would you agree to having Danu perform the vows, would you give me forever?” His voice deepens and shakes.
