Wind Demon Triology: Book II: Evil Wind

Kamerone looked down at the white slouch socks she was wearing and an evil grin crooked up the side of his mouth. He reached for her leg, lifted her foot, and dragged the socks off with his teeth. Before she could let out the gasp that made her shudder, he had her toes in his mouth, suckling them.
"Oh, my god,” she whispered, her thighs quivering.
He wanted to taste every inch of her. He wanted to take his time and put his hand on her. He wanted to rub against her until their scents were mingled. She was his and he wanted her to know just how much he had missed her.
But Bridget needed him sooner than that. She reached out, grabbed his arms, and pulled him down to her, splaying her legs wide before clamping them around his waist, imprisoning him. She wanted him in her. She wanted to feel that delicious length, that wonderful heat, the width and breadth of him inside her. She wanted to feel her man, her mate, her husband as the gods intended them to be.
"Bridget, I wanted to go slowly,” he complained as he found her nipple and wrapped his lips around it.
"There is time,” she said and she felt his nod as he suckled her.
"Aye,” he mumbled against her breast. “There is time."

"Where in the megaverse is this place?” Iyan asked Khiershon. “I've never heard of it."
"What's the name of it again?” Viraidan inquired over Iyan's shoulder. He was staring at the navigational screen.
"Domhan na Gaoithe,” Iyan replied.
"WindWorld?” Kamerone queried from across the bridge. The hellion in his back writhed but the motion wasn't painful.
"Did you feel that?” Khiershon asked his father. He shifted his shoulders.
"Aye,” Kamerone answered.
"As did I,” Viraidan told them.
"Wherever it is we're going, I think our hellions approve,” Khiershon said.
With a suddenness that left them all stunned, brightness flashed around them in trickling sparkles of multicolored light that made them throw up their arms to ward off the intensity, their senses reeled, and they felt as though they were soaring through space at an alarming rate. When the light faded away, they found themselves standing along with the rest of the passengers from the Ailith in a verdant greensward with rolling hills behind them and crashing ocean before. Gulls flew overhead, banking toward the turquoise waters of the ocean.
"What the hell happened?” Iyan asked.
"Where the hell are we?” Kamerone countered.
A soft breeze wafted over them from the sea.
"Look at that,” Caitlin said pointing.
There upon the rolling hills were fields of wheat from which the Healers among them would be able to brew the tenerse that would keep the Reapers Transitioning on schedule. Vast varieties of animals roamed over the fields beyond where crimson clover studded the lush grasses and the faint scent of jasmine filled the air. A huge plot of land looked as though it had been cultivated and even from a distance the new arrivals could see vegetables of myriad varieties and fruit trees heavily laden.
"Is this heaven?” Jaelin asked.
"Well, it ain't Iowa,” Bridget answered her son.
"And here comes the welcome wagon,” Beryla commented out of the side of her mouth.
The two people who came over the rise of the nearest hill paused hand in hand as they looked down at them. The man's hair was dark and curly, tousled by the stiff breeze. The woman's hair was as white as snow and hung down her back to the bottom of her rump. Behind them two young boys appeared, each as dark as the father.
"Reapers,” Kamerone stated.
"Aye,” Viraidan agreed.
No one moved as the couple started down the hill, the boys waiting at the top.
"They don't look surprised to see us,” Bridget said softly.
"She's smiling but he looks a bit wary,” Aurora commented.
It was the two eldest—the Primes—who moved away from their people and met the couple. Walking side by side, Kamerone and Viraidan were very imposing and no one breathed easily until the saw their Reapers shaking hands with the couple.
"I am Leksi Helios and this is my lady-wife, Kynthia,” the tall man with the sparkling amber eyes greeted the Reapers from the Ailith.
"You don't look surprised to see us,” Kamerone said, echoing his wife's sentiments.
Leksi smiled. “She told us you were coming and we've been preparing for your arrival.” He swept a hand behind h
im. “Over the hill is the settlement She created for you. Our library has been extended and overnight a medical facility appeared."
"She does things like that all the time,” Kynthia said.
"She does it to appease my lady-wife,” Leksi declared on a long sigh.
"Who is she?” Viraidan queried.
"Morrigunia,” Kynthia replied.
"The goddess who aided me on Rysalia Prime,” Kamerone said, annoyed. “Remember I told you of Her, Aidan."
"You told me a lot of things, Kam,” Viraidan grumbled. “I listened to only half of it."
"This should be fun,” Kynthia laughed.
"We are pleased you have come to keep us company in our pleasant island prison,” Leksi stated.
"Prison?” Kamerone repeated, stiffening.
"Leksi is exaggerating. It is more like a playground,” Kynthia told him. “A playground for Reapers where She keeps us safe and as happy as She can."
"You are home, dearthaír,” Leksi said. “Home where I strongly suspect it all began for us."
"Or will," came a soft whisper on the wind.
The End
