Firstborn: Necromancer Chronicles (Erotic Fantasy) Book 3

by D. R. Rosier

  I took Alicia’s hand and teleported straight to the bedroom at home. I loved her, but I had to keep her wolf in submission, so I grabbed her by the neck and pushed her against the wall.

  My voice was whispery steal, “If any wolf suggests that again, you will tell me. You are mine to protect.”

  She lowered her eyes and bared her throat as best she could with my fist around it.

  Alicia said, “I promise, I didn’t think he would go that far. He was supposed to be protecting us and our bond, not trying to destroy it. I’m sorry. I thought I could handle it. He wasn’t right in the head I don’t think, my wolf instincts failed which shouldn’t happen.”

  “I know, and he paid the price.”

  I pulled her into a hug and kissed her neck. Then I led her into the shower and treated her gently. I hated forcing her submission right after she had been beaten. The fucking wolves were nuts, but I had to do it. If I hadn’t done it, her wolf would have challenged me and we would have a real fight instead of a simple stare down.

  I was also angry at her for not telling me sooner, I could have put an end to it before that asshole harmed her.

  No… I was angry at myself. Why the fuck did I wait that extra day, I should have known something was wrong when she didn’t come back after that first day. She never stays away more than a day; her wolf doesn’t like being away from me that long.

  Why did it take another full day before I noticed? I failed to protect her, whether she told me about it or not.

  She was naked of course, had been back in the field. I took a moment to strip down and we took a shower together. She was completely healed. She was absolutely perfect, as beautiful as the day I’d met her, and the first time I’d made her submit to me and she’d absolutely turned my life upside down.

  She had long dark black hair and the sexiest light golden eyes. She had a toned body but she still had mouthwatering curves and she felt soft against me. She was five foot seven and had perfect perky C cup breasts. I took my time as I soaped up her body, I couldn’t help but react as I touched her. Still, I put off doing anything for now. When I finished she took over and cleaned me with the same soft touches.

  She kissed me when she was done. It started out soft and loving as she melted against me. It slowly transformed though into passionate, needy, and demanding. I ran my hands down her waist and around her thighs to grab her ass and pull her tightly against me. My pleasure was locked between us as she growled into my mouth and nipped my lip playfully.

  I pushed her back against the tile and held her up by her ass as she hopped up and wrapped her legs tightly around my lower back. Her arms were over my shoulders, her hands playing with my hair and neck. She moved her hips around until I felt my tip against her sex, I let her drop slightly down while I pushed up, impaling her heaven in one hard stroke. She gasped loudly as she ground against me. She was so damn tight as her body constricted around my hardened pleasure with warm wet sensation.

  She growled, “Fuck me.”

  I started to stroke in and out of her as her hips swung out from the tiles, grinding into me as our flesh met with a slap. I put my head down and sucked in her nipple and bit down hard, just like she likes it. Her grasping heat felt rapturous as I slammed into her over and over. She put her face down and whimpered into my hair as she grabbed it in her hands and pulled me tighter against her breast.

  I started going faster, working with my hands to lift and drop her in the same rhythm, taking her as hard as I could. I felt her heaven grasp and undulate up and down my pleasure as she flooded me with her juice. I cradled her against me and walked out of the shower and into the bedroom, drying us with a thought.

  I dropped her onto the bed, crawled in after, and then flipped her over onto her stomach. I grabbed her hips and pulled her up to her hands and knees before spearing her from behind. I started to pump in and out of her, and she began bucking back into me. She met my every thrust and she gasped a breath in rhythm with each time our flesh slapped together.

  I spanked her hard and then pulled back on her hair. I started fucking her as fast and as hard as I could. I let go of all my inhibitions and claimed my mate, took my mate. No matter that this was hardly the first time, it was the give and take between us, the wolves in us constantly testing and playing.

  I wouldn’t last long going all out like I was, and she was so sexy and beautiful the way she kept impaling herself back on me I could tell she wasn’t holding anything back either. We rutted together with everything we had. When I felt her reach her bliss I buried myself twice more and kept pushing as her hot wet sheath demanded and claimed my seed.

  When I was able to move again, I collapsed on to the bed and took her with me, pulling her against me in the spooning position.

  Alicia said breathlessly, “I love you mate.”

  I told her I did too…

  The next few days involved a lot of head banging at work. Although everything at home had settled down. The pack had a new alpha, which I met and approved of. I was glad I did, because I knew not having a pack would hurt Alicia. As far as the fae, I still hadn’t been attacked. Whether Hope had been the only target, or they decided to rethink the whole plan after Hope counter attacked, we weren’t sure.

  I had also gotten to know Toni a little better and we seemed to have a tentative friendship going. She was a lot of fun, easy to talk to and it didn’t hurt that she was very easy on the eyes. We had gone out again to the bar last night, though Abby had to bail for some family thing. We had a good time, and no attacks that time from her home town.

  It was Thursday early morning and I was lying in bed with Kristi, our legs were tangled together and she was lying on me with a satisfied expression that I was sure mirrored my own. She still had our link connected and I could feel the after affects of our shared pleasure between us. She was so beautiful, and the amount of love I could feel in her regarding me was continually astonishing. I just didn’t think I was that amazing. There was no doubt I was blessed.

  Kristi said, “You should invite Toni over tonight for dinner. She sounds nice from what you tell me, and I bet she would appreciate meeting more supernaturals from the Chicago community too.”

  I kissed her hair, “I’ll ask. What about Abby? I know she’s human but…”

  Kristi giggled, “You can ask, she can’t make it though.”

  Why do I even bother asking? Her answer always gives me a headache.

  She slapped my chest, “Be nice. I’m really a mind reader you know.”

  I said in a sharp tone, “Don’t make me spank you young lady!”

  She giggled and hit my chest again. I could feel the anticipation in her mind as I pulled her across my legs…

  When I got to work and headed for the lab I walked in and saw Toni and Abby talking excitedly.

  I smiled, “What’s the news?”

  Abby grinned, “Well we finally got a field analyzer working, and the problem with the anti-gravity device is the field it makes is coming out degraded. I had tested all the circuits to make sure they were up to spec by powering them each up separately, but with it fully on when I test it, one of the circuits fails. It looks like the field leaks a bit before the emitter and affects another circuit, so in essence it is interfering with itself.”

  I nodded, “So what can we do to fix it, I don’t think we have anything that will isolate it, do we?”

  She shook her head, “Not yet, we’ll have to invent one, but in the meantime I isolated that circuit on a separate component. We should know by lunchtime if it will work.”

  I grinned, “Awesome, and a great idea to get around the problem for now.”

  She shrugged, “It’s still pretty small and in one piece, even if it’s in two parts inside.”

  We talked about another project we had on standby while waiting for lunch. New theoretical power sources, although we couldn’t settle on an approach. For a lot of it we would have to wait for the tech to catch up but there were a few things we could try
.

  We went out for lunch a little early; waiting for the fabricator had been driving us nuts. We wound up eating Mexican. Toni rolled her eyes at the idea, but she was outvoted. Apparently if you’re raised in San Antonio, it isn’t really Mexican food up here.

  When we got back to the lab we replaced the failed experiment with the new device. I held my breath as I turned it on. We cheered when we lifted the book up, and it stayed there, apparently unaffected by gravity. Though we noticed after a few minutes the book seemed to be a tiny bit lower. We took more measurements and the field was much more stable, but still a little too weak from signal loss.

  We turned up the voltage going into it by a hundredth of a volt at a time until our readings were right. It seemed pretty stable but thought the resistance might change enough to matter when it got hotter, or colder. We’d have to figure out some software to control minor tweaks.

  The device couldn’t create gravity; we had theories for that but not enough power to make it happen, yet. But still, as it is it would be worth a lot and extremely useful. If a person wore a device that cancelled gravity they could literally get to space by pushing off with their toes, assuming of course the wind didn’t blow them down at some point.

  Point being it would take very little resources to create lift and forward motion. Downward motion could be created by weakening the field and letting just a little gravity leak in. Past flight and easy access to space, it could be used for moving, construction, rescue work, zero-g training and labs, cargo weight limits on boats, planes, and rigs would no longer matter, and I’m sure the list was much longer if I put just a little more thought into it.

  The scary thing is it was a simple toy really, with the discovery I had made. And it would change the world. I frowned for a moment, worried about what I had seen on the news. Still, I couldn’t help that the geek in me felt elated by it.

  We flagged down Lina and got her started on filling out papers for the patent, giving her all the relevant information and schematics along with all the possible uses we could think of for it.

  We decided in the late afternoon we would vote on what to do next tomorrow, we had gone over a large number of ideas this morning and this afternoon. We thought it would be better to sleep on it.

  Before we left I asked, “Hey, are either of you busy tonight? My… partners want to meet you, and we should celebrate with some dinner and drinks.”

  Abby blushed at that, I guessed she wasn’t too thrilled about me having two mates.

  She said, “Sorry, my husband told me he’s taking me out for dinner when I called earlier. Maybe next time?”

  I nodded and looked over to Toni who said, “I’d love to.”

  On the drive over Toni asked me a little curiously how I’d ended up with two women. Even in our world it wasn’t all that common a thing, though it did happen.

  I grinned, “I was head over heels in love with Kristi. Then one day I went home and a werewolf attacked me. Apparently that’s how they pick their mates, it’s all very instinctual. Kristi wasn’t exactly pleased at first, but they fell in love too.”

  Toni looked over at me and sounded surprised, “They did?”

  I nodded, “I don’t have a harem. The three of us all love the other two. I don’t think it would work otherwise, jealousy would screw it up. Plus, I told you Kristi has mind magic, as well as some other stuff, it’s hard to miss the fact you’re loved when you can feel it.”

  She looked thoughtful so I let her think about that as I finished the drive. I wanted her to understand, for some reason her opinion mattered to me, maybe because I had to work with her, or possibly because I already thought of her as a friend. It would make it rather uncomfortable if she couldn’t understand and judged us for it.

  I pulled into the driveway and she looked a little nervous, I’ve never seen her act that way before. I shrugged, not sure what to say, if anything at all. I walked her in the door and could feel my mates in the kitchen so headed that way. Kristi was still in her work clothes, Alicia was wearing jeans and a t-shirt, they were both moving about.

  Kristi smiled, “Nice to meet you Toni. I’m Kristi and this is Alicia. We’re almost done getting dinner going. Vinnie, why don’t you give her a tour of the house? We’ll meet you in the living room in a few minutes.”

  Toni replied, “Nice to meet you both too.”

  Alicia seemed to look her over, as if sizing her up for trouble. She finally smiled and nodded in greeting. Wolves…

  I showed Toni the first floor, all that was really upstairs was our bedroom and a couple of spares. I showed her the den, where the bathroom was, and the deck in the backyard. Since she wasn’t a guy I skipped the garage and cars. Eventually we got back to the living room where I offered her a seat on the couch and got us drinks.

  Toni whispered, “Is Alicia always so intense?”

  I whispered back, “It’s a wolf thing… and so is great hearing.”

  Toni blushed but I heard Alicia’s light laughter in the kitchen. They both walked out and took seats.

  Alicia said with self deprecating humor, “It is a wolf thing, territory and all that. As long as I’m not growling you’re fine,” she winked and her lips quirked into a half smile.

  Kristi said, “So congrats on the breakthrough today, that must be exciting. I know I am excited about it, I work as an engineer for a green company and I’ve already drawn up a few proposals on it.”

  I snorted and narrowed my eyes as I hadn’t told her yet, “When?”

  She coughed innocently, “This morning after you left for work. Don’t worry; I won’t submit them until the patent is in.”

  I shook my head, “That non-disclosure agreement is worthless with you around…”

  Toni smiled but otherwise ignored my interplay, “It is, we’re already trying to figure out what to do next while we wait for patents and then I guess we’ll be able to think about manufacturers. That’s really our boss’ job though.”

  We chatted for a while longer, by the time we made it to a second drink my mates had Toni looking a lot more relaxed. I was a little relieved myself; it would have been a nightmare if they’d hated who I spent eight to ten hours a day with.

  Dinner was very good, we had broiled steaks, mashed potatoes, veggies, and some dinner rolls. I was fairly stuffed when we finished. We had some cake after and time flew by fast. Toni was curious about Kristi having magic, so Kristi explained a little more about what she could do, but was rather vague about where the magic came from.

  At the end of the night Kristi gave me a thumbs up to indicate my destination was clear and I teleported Toni back to her car in the parking lot.

  Toni said, “Thanks, they’re really great, we should do this again, or go out one night?”

  I replied happily, “Sounds good to me, I’ll let them know…”

  We stared at each other awkwardly for a second, and then she got in her car and drove off. I teleported back to the house and found my mates in bed already. They had started without me and were demanding my attention. I watched them with a smile as I started to undress.

  Chapter 4 – Hope

  Tuesday Morning…

  Crap. I checked on my spy ghost after meditation, the fae had gone all the way to Montana and opened a gate to the fae world. There seemed to be some stones set up in the area and strange markings that could be spell work. I left the ghost there to see if he, or more of them, came through again, but I had no idea if there were any others already here.

  It hadn’t occurred to me to ask before I let the other’s ghost move on. I hadn’t been expecting the other one to run on home so to speak. Oh well, I’d be more careful next time. I jumped in the shower to start getting ready for work. I smiled as Bree joined me. That always led to a pleasant result.

  My body felt pleasantly sore and tingly when I left the house. I took the Metra in and was a little disappointed the fae didn’t take it as an opportunity. It also forced me to dwell on other things, like the prophecy. I
’d have to make a decision and figure something out soon, it seemed like all the news and riots around the world were pushing me to choose.

  As usual my mind shrunk from the task. In theory I knew this had been set into motion long ago. Vinnie and I weren’t responsible for more than being involved in a pivotal moment, but how do you choose? The fae had done very little to earn my favor, but did they truly deserve to die as a race? The humans I grew up with, some of them I loved, but they could turn into a horror and invade world after world in the future. It was what they did.

  There had to be more too it as well. There was no way the other worlds would just step back and let the fae destroy humanity or vice versa. Perhaps something I would do will push them to a certain side? I could go crazy thinking about this. Too many possibilities.

  It wasn’t quite that simple either, I had an idea what I could do to at least stop the downward spiral of the current violence, but not if it was what was needed to make a difference in the end. The fae should have hung their seers a long time ago, it was impossible to understand. I pushed all that down and got to the hospital even earlier this morning. I checked the charts to get them out of the way then went to get Jeremy’s answer.

  I could understand his skittishness, he didn’t know me that well and hadn’t been treated the best by the communities so far. How could he trust me to use my magic on him and keep his defenses down? I was sure he had felt the truth of my promise last night, but often emotions get in the way and can lead people to make foolish decisions.

  I knocked lightly on the open door and stepped in. Jeremy was sitting up, his knees propped up by a pillow, Bell was sitting on the edge of the bed.

  “Good morning Jeremy, Bell.”

  Bell nodded and Jeremy returned my greeting.

  I asked, “Have you made a decision?”

  Jeremy said, “Yeah, we talked about it. It seems hard to believe but there was no doubting you meant what you said last night, go for it.”

  He flinched a bit when my magic covered his body. I ran a scan after I started his knee healing and noticed a few other things. I fixed his eyesight, which wasn’t bad but he was on his way to needing glasses, I also cleaned up a badly healed break in his arm.
