by Runaway Fae
When Shamus could move his mouth again, he frowned. “Don’t do me any favors, Liam. Without my abilities, I am nothing.”
Shauna could not bring herself to feel sorry for Shamus. Why should she? There was not a drop of compassion inside her for him. Still none when he decided his loss of power meant he would throw himself to the creatures in the ocean, which had gathered with the drops of blood Liam and Shamus had been dripping as they battled in the air. His body was torn to pieces within seconds.
It was finally over.
Epilogue
Shauna tucked three-year old Lorcan in his bed, and planted a gentle kiss on his forehead. Her heart swelled with pride at having such a talented son. The young king was loved by all of his people, who were in awe along with his parents that he was such a powerful little Fae.
Liam stepped up behind her and encircled Shauna in his arms. “Are you wondering what he’ll become when he is a man?” her husband whispered.
She nodded, “Yes. If as an infant, he healed you and me, has demonstrated such gifts as a toddler, I can’t imagine what the future holds.”
“I can.”
Shauna’s eyes widened, and she twisted to stare up at her husband. “How can you know? Have you developed your power to a new level also?”
He chuckled, “No, but I predict a sibling for Lorcan within the next year.”
She rolled her eyes.
“In fact, I’m predicting it’s time to make that sibling right now.” Liam lifted her into his arms and carried her to the ready bubble bath that they had prepared to take together after she put their son to bed. He stood her in the middle of a plush rug at the side of the tub and began stripping her of her clothing, piece by piece. Shauna trembled as his fingertips brushed against her skin. Heat rose between her legs as she anticipated her husband placing himself down there soon enough.
When she was naked, Liam assisted her into the bath and then snapped himself naked to follow. He could have done the same with her clothing, but something told her Liam enjoyed stripping off her clothes.
As he lifted a leg over the edge of the tub, Shauna licked her lips hungrily at the sight of his long, thick erection. She reached a wet soapy hand out to it and stroked the head until it too was slick and sudsy.
“Darling, let me get settled or you will have me coming before I’m ready,” he told her.
“Well hurry up. It’s been hours since we’ve made love.”
Liam laughed, “You’ve not let me out of your sight for more than a second in the last three years, woman. I’m not going anywhere. I promise you that.” He settled beneath the water, his legs encircling her hips with her back to him.
Shauna leaned into his embrace and closed her eyes while Liam poured palms full of warm water over her breasts. Her nipples grew hard, just as she knew he intended. “Mmm, that’s feels so good, Liam.”
He snaked his tongue around the lobe of her ear, his warm breath teasing her sensitive skin. “That’s the idea.”
She nuzzled closer to his chest, reveling in his touch. “Well then keep doing that and more.”
“I had better hurry too before your mother walks in on us again. Sometimes, I wonder if we should have left her daffy to get some peace. You’d think she was the only woman in the universe with a grandchild.”
Shauna slapped his hand. “Liam, that’s mean. You know Mother is making up for not realizing Lorcan existed. She understands it was Shamus’ spell, but she still feels guilty, as do all the other Fae for what they put us through.”
She smoothed the annoyed look from his brow and his mouth, kissing him. Liam held on to stick his tongue in her mouth. For long minutes, the only sound in the bathroom was the gentle lap of the water and their soft moans of need.
Liam lifted Shauna and turned her so that she sat on his lap facing him. He stroked her nipples with his thumbs, and she arched her back toward him for more. How she wanted him inside her. She didn’t think she would wait another second. Reaching below the water, she took his shaft in her hands to stroke him slowly.
“Shauna, baby, you’re driving me crazy. I think it’s time to make good on my promise.”
“What promise is that?”
He grinned as he lifted her hips higher. “The one I made to my son, that I would personally make sure his mommy produced a sibling for him to play with.”
“Liam!”
Her protest had been fleeting, turned into a gasp of white hot pleasure when he slipped into her wetness all the way to the hilt. Shauna screamed as her husband lifted her up and down on his long rod. She couldn’t get enough as she ground into him, grasping his shoulders and demanding he go faster.
Shauna saw the darkness rise in her husband, a power he had no trouble now controlling. But she welcomed it, knowing the experience would be rougher, hotter with his dark side. “Yes,” she whispered as she felt her climax begin, “take me my Darkling. As deep as you can.”
She felt his seed shoot out of him into her tunnel, lighting up her entire body. His mouth closed over one of her nipples, sucking hard enough to ache and good enough to have her whimpering. Shauna rode wild, panting and bucking against Liam. Then too soon she screamed again when her climax ripped through her soul and body. She clung to Liam’s chest shaking from head to toe.
“Don’t worry, darling,” he told her with shimmering black eyes, “we have all night long, and longer if I hold back the day.”
Shauna’s eyes widened with delight as she leaned in for his kiss. Well, he did promise their son after all.
