Spring's Destiny

by Deausha Kristal

  “Why are you out here just sitting?” he asks.

  “I just needed to get away from everything; it helps me think,” I murmur. Thunder cracks and vibrates the ground. Jumping, I feel Andy wrap his arm around me pulling me to him. Tensing up, he chuckles.

  “Let’s not lie to one another, hmm? You feel the tension between us just like I do.”

  Turning around so that I straddle his legs, but not entirely on top of him.

  “Why me? Is it just because of the bond? Is this all it will be with you, all of you?” I ask looking up into his eyes.

  “There has to be an attraction there already, Spring, I watch you with the others, and I want that so bad it hurts. It means we are made to be more. Plus, we don’t have to make the bond, we get a choice.”

  None of them had to. They had a choice that does make me feel better. It does. Looking back to him, I swallow hard. He gently grabs my chin, slowly he leans forward giving me the option to move. Closing the space between us, I press my lips to his. I feel that electrifying current go through me. He wraps his arms around me kissing me back; he runs the tip of his tongue along my lips. Opening my mouth, I take his tongue into mine, he is teasing me. I can only imagine what it could do elsewhere.

  “I would love to show you what my tongue can do to you in other places,” he growls in my ear. Shivering, he wraps his arms around me and pulls me to straddle him. Our privates on top of each other’s I can feel how hard he is.

  He doesn’t try anything else, just holds me close. Letting my breathing go back to normal, I start to feel my arm tingle. Stiffen up I untangle my limbs from him. He looks at me questioningly. Standing up, I flex my hand.

  “We’re not alone,” I say. “Stayne,” I yell. Looking over at Andy he’s got a wicked looking dagger pulled out and at the ready.

  “I’m on it my Queen,” I hear him say.

  “Stayne knows,” I tell Andy.

  “So, does Nick, they are on their way.

  “Tanner is coming to you, my Queen, whatever is out there is pure evil. Keep him safe make him stay with you, or he will be torn apart. By the way, Storm plowed his door down.”

  Looking over at the steps, I see Tanner’s little head bobbing up and down as he takes the steps as fast as his short legs will carry them.

  “Come on, Tanner, come to me,” I yell over the storm raging outside. He comes over and jumps into my waiting arms. “Listen to me, stay by me, no matter what. Do you hear me?” Licking my face, I know that he does. Hearing a blast from the loft door, Andy jumps and tackles us to the ground laying his body on top of us as wood and debris rain down. Coughing, he looks over at me. I nod that I’m OK. Getting up, he stands in front of us as four men with guns fly inside the room. Tanner starts growling, trying to get out of my arms.

  “Tanner, remember,” I whisper in his ears. He quiets down, so I put him on the ground and he stands behind my leg.

  “Move guardian, it is not you, we want,” one of them says.

  “Fuck you, buddy; you better leave before I kill you where you stand.”

  “Queen, come with us, and we won’t hurt any of them,” he says like Andy never said a thing.

  “How about not!” I snap. “What do you want with me?”

  “Our King wants to speak to you is all!” Laughing, I look at the other men that are here. “You can tell Maddox, to find someone else for his—"

  “Queen, it is not Maddox that I serve, but someone more powerful than you can imagine,” he sneers. “Are you saying you will not go willingly?”

  Pushing power into my hand, I watch as the tattoo starts to glow with blue swirls. I see Stayne prowling, behind them and they don’t know it.

  “No, I will never go willingly,” I sneer. Throwing my arm out, I hit him with the fire. He stumbles back grabbing at his middle.

  “Have it your way then,” he hisses. Running, he lifts his gun and points it straight at me. He never gets a shot off Stayne come flying over his head taking his head between his paws and rips his head off it rolls and lands at my feet. Looking at Stayne, he is triple in size, he really is scary looking. He looks over at me and bows his head standing in front of me daring anyone else to come at me. Andy takes on the one that was talking to me. They slam into the side of the barn and the whole place shakes. Stayne pushes against my legs pushing me toward the stairs. Standing at the top, I continue to watch the fight before me. Andy has the guy pinned to the wall, pounding into him over and over. Hearing a noise below, I look down the stairs, Nick and Sammy are pounding up the stairs. Stayne is staying in front of me guarding not letting anyone come near me. Tanner is at my feet acting like a tuff little pup. Nick flies past me and tackles one of the men. Sammy grabs my arm pulling me to go downstairs. Finally giving in I take the stairs two at a time, looking behind my shoulder I see that Stayne is coming with me.

  Landing at the bottom, Storm comes trotting over. He’s jumpy, but then again there is fighting going upstairs.

  “Spring, come on into the office now,” Sammy yells. Looking over at him, I know we can’t go outside, we can’t fight what we can’t see. Following him into the office, he shuts the door behind me. Locking it, I don’t think that will help, but I don’t say anything. Tanner lies by the door, and I know Storm is in front of it. Sammy comes over and starts checking me out. Pushing his hands away.

  “I’m not hurt, Sammy,” I tell him.

  “Just let me see for myself, please, Spring,” he begs. Rolling my eyes, I just let him do what he must. After he’s done, I look around the little office. Seeing a chair, I sit listening to what’s going on upstairs. Twenty minutes later it’s quiet. Looking over at Sammy, he looks more relaxed than before.

  “Is it over?” Standing up, I walk over to him.

  “Yeah, we can head to the house now,” he murmurs. Walking over he opens the door motioning for me to follow him, we run out of the barn into the pouring rain to the house. Looking around, I notice the guys are walking all over the property checking things out. Sammy runs ahead and opens the door for me to go through. Standing in the kitchen, I watch as the water drops off me onto the tile floor. Walking into the laundry room, I find a couple of towels and use one to dry off. Walking back out, I see that Sammy is gone and Garrett, one of the other guardians, is standing there.

  “Where did Sammy go, Garrett?” Looking around, I notice no one’s in the house but us.

  “Out to check things out with the others. They will be back as soon as they can, Spring.”

  “OK, I’m going to go and take a shower,” I tell him. Walking out of the kitchen, I make my way up, the stairs. Opening the door, I walk in followed by Garrett. I know it’s no use to say anything. Walking into my closet, I grab a pair of jeans and a button-down shirt. Going to the bathroom, I close the door, at least Garrett stays in my bedroom. Turning the water on, I hurry and strip out of my wet clothes. Getting into the shower, I let it run down my body warming me up. It’s getting cold out. Soon this rain will turn to ice than snow. I wonder how it’s going to be up here on the mountain in the winter, I’ve heard the town’s people talk about stocking up and everything. So that I know, but not with this rain that’s come in it hasn’t let up in the past two days.

  Getting done in the shower, I turn it off and grab a towel to wrap my hair in and another to dry off. Looking in the mirror, I’m a little pale. There’s a knock on the door that shakes me from my thinking.

  “Who is it?” I ask. Throwing my shirt on, I start to button it.

  “My Queen, the men are back and want to talk to you,” Garrett says. Pulling on my jeans, I start brushing out my hair.

  “OK, give me ten minutes,” I yell. Turning on the blow dryer, I hurry to dry my hair. Leaving it down, I brush my teeth. I’m not going to worry about makeup I’ll be heading to bed soon. Throwing the towels and wet clothes in the hamper, I open the door and head back into the bedroom. I see a fire has been lit, and Garrett is looking out the doors.

  “It’s still pouring ou
t the wind has picked up as well.”

  “Yeah it’s getting nasty out there that’s for sure. Ready?” I say, smiling at him.

  “Yes, my Queen.” We head out into the hallway and down the stairs to the great room, everyone is already there. I look around; there’s a fire going in the hearth. Being drawn to it, I go and sit on the ground in front of it. Nick comes over and hands me a glass of wine. Thanking him, we walk over to the center of the room. The men look tired, worn out. Taking a sip of wine, Sammy is sitting next to Andy they are whispering to each other. Sammy looks over and smiles at me, smiling back I watch the flames lick the wood.

  “OK, we need to talk about a few things,” Nick says. “We are going to have to start having around the clock watchers out. Not only does Maddox want to get to the Queen, but now someone new, and I hate to say I think whoever this is one hundred times worse than anyone we have come up against in the past. After this meeting, Stayne will be going to his home to see what he can find in the underground. Stayne protected the Queen this evening, so from now on either him or another guardian will be with her at all times. We can’t take the chance of her getting kidnapped until we figure what we are up against,” Nick says.

  “How long am I going to need a babysitter?” I ask. It’s not going to last long that’s for sure; I like my alone time.

  “Until the danger passes my Queen,” Nick says. I know I’ve hit a nerve.

  “Listen, I appreciate what you men are doing for me, I do. But you have to understand, I was thrown into all this, and it’s a lot to take in,” I murmur.

  “I know, Spring, it’s just going to get worse from here on out. We will figure out more about what’s going on with the new player tomorrow when Stayne and Mick get back.”

  I see that all the men agree with him. Shaking my head, I look back to the fire. The men still talk about everything that’s going on, but I’m not listening. Finishing up my glass of wine I look at the clock—it’s past midnight. Standing up, I stretch, sitting like I was I got cramped up. Walking over to Sammy, he stops talking to Andy and another guy.

  “Would you spend the night with me?” I ask. It gets so quiet in here that a pin to drop and you’d hear it. I know everyone is waiting to see if he will accept, and some are shocked that I would even ask him to sleep with me. I don’t cower I watch his reaction to what I’ve asked. The first shock runs across his face then acceptance.

  “I would be honored to, my Queen,” he says loud enough for everyone to hear. He gets up and stays in back of me. He reaches his hand out, and I put mine in his. Pulling him with a grin, we start up the stairs. I don’t look back I already feel everyone watching us go up the stairs. Getting to my bedroom, I slowly open it up. I hear him close it behind us. Turning around he comes at me so fast I don’t have time to blink, he wraps me in his arms and kisses me gently. Moaning I wrap my arms around him and pull him closer. Opening my mouth his tongue enters my mouth, I love the taste of him. He picks me up, and we fall onto the bed. Lying on top of me, he takes his hand he starts to unbutton my shirt. Letting it fall open I watch as he looks at my breasts. Leaning down, he takes one into his mouth and sucks gently. He moves to the other one then back up to my neck.

  “I’m sorry, Spring, I’ve wanted you so bad, even if we didn’t bond,” he whispers. Running my hands through his hair I pull him closer to me, kissing him gently.

  “I want to bond with you,” I say.

  Looking me in the eyes he nods, taking my hands, I grab at his shirt, he leans up a bit to pull and lift it over his head, I take the time to throw my shirt on the ground. My jeans are next along with his. Lying there naked with him is like a dream come true. He’s way younger than me, but if you figure in the immortality, he’s way older. Shaking my head, I grab for him bring him to lie on top of me. My need is too excessive; I need him now. We have all night to play with each other.

  He enters me with one gentle thrust. Arching my back, I grab his ass and pull him to me, wanting all of him, inside me. He cuts his neck looking me in the eyes giving me a way out if I don’t want to do this. Grabbing his head, I lower it to my mouth. It’s as if I almost crave the blood now. Sucking the cut, I taste the blood on my tongue and groan. He slides in and out of me like he’s done this all his life. Turning my head, I give him my neck. He licks up my jugular and bites deep, there’s a sharp pain at first, when it goes away it’s nothing short of ecstasy. He picks up his pace slamming into me; I raise my hips to meet his thrusts. Slick with sweat I rock into him. I feel him come inside of me filling me, it brings me over the edge, and I join him, my body shaking in the aftermath, Sammy falls on top of me. He shifts to the side, looking down at me he kisses me gently.

  “I promise to protect you with my life,” he murmurs.

  “I know you will, now can you shut up and kiss me,” I whisper, grinning.

  “A woman after my own heart,” he says, smiling.

  He kisses me, and his hands do lovely things to my body. I know this is going to be a long night full of passion and hot sex.

  Chapter 16

  Waking up, I feel Sammy next to me. There’s a burning in my left shoulder, the telltale sign that I bonded with him last night. Smiling, I remember we made love six times last night, and I can sure feel it now. Running my hands over his chest, he stirs. Opening his eyes, he looks at me smiling.

  “Morning, Spring,” he murmurs. Snuggling closer, I smile at him.

  “Morning, it’s freezing outside the blankets,” I say, shaking. Sammy gets up and walks over to the fireplace. Sitting up a little, I watch him move around as he gets the fire started. He’s sexy as hell naked. He still has the scars on his back; those didn’t heal from our blood sharing. I wonder why. I don’t want to ask him since they don’t bother me. He gets the fire going and comes back to me in bed; he jumps under, his cold body, trying to get warm by mine.

  “You’re freezing, Sammy!” I squeal. Laughing, he grabs me and wraps me in his arms.

  “Warm me up, Spring,” he says with a wicked grin on his face. I wrap my arms around him; there’s a knock at the door. They don’t wait but barge right in. Looking over the covers, I see that it’s Andy. I watch as his eyes roam over my exposed body. Not bothering to cover myself I watch him struggle for breath.

  “What’s up, Andy?” I ask, grinning. Sammy watches Andy from the corner of his eyes. I feel Sammy run his hand across my breast. Sucking in a breath, I dart my eyes to his—he’s grinning at me.

  “Oh, ah you’ve got training now, Sammy,” he says huskily. He never takes his eyes away from Sammy’s hand playing with my breast. He pinches my nipple.

  “Would like to be doing this, Andy?” Sammy murmurs. My eyes go to his. He bends down. “You’ll enjoy this, promise,” he whispers. Looking over at Andy he’s breathing hard. Looking down his hard body, I see a bulge in his jeans. He walks over to the bed, taking off his shirt as he walks to the other side and slowly lies down on the other side of me. He slowly runs his hand across my other breast, making my nipple pebble. Moaning, I grab him by his hair and yank his lips to mine, kissing him hard. He welcomes it and gives it right back all the while pinching my nipple. Sammy grabs Andy’s hand and guides him between my legs. Andy doesn’t need to be told twice and sticks three fingers in. Slowly, he pulls them out just to slam them back in. He breaks off the kiss and Sammy takes his place, his lips are warm when they touch mine, he kisses me long and hard. Finally, he bends to my ear.

  “I’ve got to go, after you bond with him; we will both be back to have some fun with you, Spring,” he whispers. Shivering, I arch my back as Andy picks up the pace with his fingers. Looking up at Sammy he gets out of bed and throws his clothes on heading out the door with a sexy grin on his face. Andy gently grabs my chin to make me face him. He hovers over my lips. Looking at him, I know that it’s my choice. I touch my lips to him, and he devours mine. Opening my mouth, I take his tongue deep in my mouth. Growling, he picks me up and walks over to the shower. Turning it on, he sits me on
the sink running his hand between my legs, and he starts rubbing my clit. I arch in his hands; I want more. Wrapping my legs around his waist, he picks me up, and we go into the shower.

  He doesn’t wait and enters me in one swift plunge. Bracing myself on his shoulders, he pulls out, slamming into me in one long thrust. Moving my hair, I offer my neck to him, he takes his nail and makes a small cut on his neck. Not waiting, I lick the stream of blood up to his neck. Finding the cut, I latch on and suck hard. He growls and sinks his fangs into my neck. Screaming out he sucks roughly on my neck, pinning me against the shower wall he thrusts into me over and over, I feel his hand grab my breast and squeeze.

  “You’re so fucking tight, Spring, I pledge myself to you,” he moans.

  “Fuck me, Andy.” And with that, he does. Thirty minutes later I’m breathing hard holding onto Andy. I can’t believe what just happened. Giggling, I look up at him. His eyes are darker than they usually are.

  “Wow, Andy, you weren’t lying,” I say. I kiss along his neck; the cut is still bleeding so I lick it to make it heal. I feel him shiver. He takes his hand and gently moves my hair out of my face.

  “I would love to spend some more time with you, but I …” Taking my fingers, I put them to his mouth.

  “I know. Go, we will have plenty of time for more, later,” I murmur. I slide down his body, and my legs feel like Jell-O. He kisses me and gets out of the shower. I don’t want him in trouble when he should be training. Watching him walk out naked, he closes the door behind him. I turn to the water and let out a big breath. I can’t believe that I bonded with two men that fast. I know I had to, but still. And to be in bed with them at the same time, it sends shivers over me. I know I have three tattoos on my left shoulder. I’ll have to look and see what Sammy’s and Andy’s look like. Feeling my hand and arm start to burn, I look down at it. My mouth drops open at what I’m seeing. The same design that is on my hip and ribs are starting to form on my hand and arm. Looking at the other one, I don’t see it there just on my left arm. The colors are the same—black outline with blue in the middle; there’s going to be no way that I can hide this unless I wear long sleeves and gloves all the damn time.
