Inextinguishable Love: Firefighter and Interracial Romance

by Kathleen Bunker

  She paused for a moment and then continued. “Plus you are unmated- you have no young, though pack dynamics will soon require you to have them. I need a sire for my children. I will not allow my lineage to die off.”

  She opened her eyes and stared into his eyes. “I cannot allow my line to die off. Please, Alpha McKenzie, help me.”

  “Call me Rodney.” He told her.

  Closing her eyes again, Luna sighed and nodded her head.

  “Does that mean you are going to help me, Rodney?” she asked him quietly.

  Instead of answering her, he asked her another question. “Who has your sister?”

  Luna told him.

  “Jem Teberith declared fuitina and took her last night from our house in town.”

  “The son of James Teberith, leader of the Crimson Claw?” he asked quietly.

  Luna nodded in confirmation, and then sitting up, explained what had happened.

  “Lelani met him at a local bar. Rumors had been floating around about who we were. Jem got Lelani drunk, and she accidentally showed him what she was. Our power is harder to control when we aren’t sober. A woman of Nubia was too large of a temptation for him. He knew he couldn’t take me, so he waited until I was out hunting. Then he and a few of his cronies broke into our house and took Lelani while she was sleeping. He left me a note telling me that he had taken her as his bride, and warned me if I tried anything, his father would return for me.” She shook her head.

  “No wonder you came to me.” Rodney snorted. “James owes me big, and Jem should know better than to try to kidnap a bride this close to my territory. It should take him most of a day to get her back to the Claw’s land. More if she fights him, and he won’t claim her until his father sanctions the match.”

  The werewolf sighed. “You are right though, a mate with that sort of power is hard to turn down or give up. He won’t let her go, unless I can lay down a lot of pressure.”

  “Pressure you can’t exert on our behalf, unless Lelani is considered under pack law to be family.” Luna confirmed.

  “If you take me as your mate, then Lelani is your sister-in-law. She falls under your protection. James Teberith won’t risk war between the two packs for one woman, especially when she is being held against her will.”

  Luna continued. “I realize that a lion may not seem like an ideal mate for an alpha werewolf. If you just give me a chance…”

  Rodney cut her off. “You’ve made your point, Luna. You’re right, the best way to save your sister is to extend Steel Fang’s protection to her as my sister-in-law. You’re also correct that I need to take a mate. Sampson and the others have been bothering me about it for months now. I’m not sure a lioness is what they had in mind… but as I said, a woman of Nubia is hard to turn down. If this is what you want, then I swear I will do as you ask. I will take you as my mate, and then make certain your sister is returned safely. Come with me.”

  He held out his hand to her, and Luna took it. Silently, Rodney led her out of the living room and down the short hall to his bedroom. Luna’s heart was pounding wildly in her chest. He didn’t stop until they were standing in front of his bed.

  “You are certain this is what you want?” He asked her. Luna nodded her head, and to make certain he understood, brushed her lips against his. She heard Rodney rumble deep in his throat as her innate magic brushed over him.

  Pressing her tightly against him, Rodney deepened the kiss. Luna relaxed, letting her power flow through her. Rather than trying to forcibly pick out information, she let the Nubia tell her what to do to please him. This was what the power was intended for, what made a woman of her lineage so valued as a mate. She would become his perfect lover, molding her actions and reactions to his needs. In turn she received his passion back through her magical link to him.

  He tried to walk away, but she held him back by the arm. Their chests met and he felt like dying. This was empowering to him.

  She looked him directly in the eyes, all that shyness was gone. She wondered why she never felt like this with anyone before. She was always shy around men and now she understood why she was still single for a long time. She was not letting him go; this was the chance she was waiting for. She moved seductively closer to him. He was trembling as she moved closer to him. He held her by the waist and kissed her lightly on the lips. She tried to hide her fears so he could not see it. He smiled as he looked at her. She leaned on the chair as he removed her clothes.

  “I want to give you something you are not used to first and then give you, what you are used to later.”

  “Bring it on,” Luna said with confidence.

  “Now that you’ve made it this far, why don’t you enjoy yourself,” Luna said as she touched the tip of his cock.

  There were rooms partitioned inside. She didn’t want to see what his house looked like.

  He moved closer to her as she stood up. He kissed her gently from the neck down to her breasts.

  She threw her head back and began to moan as his tongue twirled over her nipples. One hand massaged her breasts while his mouth sucked and his tongue danced on her nipples. She felt the heat build between her thighs as he played like a maestro.

  She reclined on her elbows and surrendered herself to his appetite. His tongue licked from her breast to stomach. His hands roamed, she couldn’t help but squeal with childish laughter.

  “Sounds like you are having a blast.” she heard him mumble, his face buried in her abdomen. Gentle warmth began to creep across her body. The heat was excellent as she stretched, and then spread her legs while slightly arching her spine. A faint aroma came from her moist vagina.

  “Ooh yeah,” she moaned. She felt his hand go between her legs; she laid back on the chair in anticipation. She felt like someone could walk in on them and that aroused her more. She never expected this to happen. The door was unlocked. She heard the squeak of the door hinges, someone was watching them. Melody watched as she undressed herself.

  “Is this okay?” Luna asked.

  “We have to enjoy ourselves.” He answered. Luna wiggled her fingers to invite Melody.

  Melody pushed Luna to the wall. She looked at her eyes silently asking for permission and let her tongue find her lips.

  As their bodies started to contort and hands explored flesh, Luna’s eyes caught the outline of Rodney’s dick bulging through the tight jeans. She traced the lines of the fabric in her mind and imagined what it would feel like when it was finally inside her.

  He sat there watching their show and a devious grin began to form on his face. Luna looked up to meet his eyes and smiled back. He walked behind them, his hands first found Melody’s ass. His firm squeeze brought her back to her senses. Rodney’s lips ravenously dug into the crease of Melody’s neck, causing her to cry out. Luna’s damp lips met Melody’s and her hands fumbled for the buttons of her coat. Melody was naked underneath. Luna slid her finger into her moist pussy and felt it hungrily clench her. Each time she would push inside just a little deeper and harder, her thumb would graze her swollen clit. She began to buck against her hand, pushing her deeper and deeper inside her.

  Melody began to moan as she finger-fucked her. Deliciously she was as she licked her fingertip and relished the sweet juices. Rodney led them to the bed. Clothes were scattered across the room. Rodney was fully erect. His dick looked yummy and beautiful. He watched them admire him. Luna pulled Melody and they both began to lick and suck him. They took turns alternating him in their mouths letting him relish the sensations of two different tongues.

  She would hard shaft lick up and down his while Melody licked his balls. One finger slowly found his ass, Luna slowly worked it in. He became more and more engorged as she took the tip of his penis in her mouth. His pelvis bucked furiously against her face. He pulled himself away and pushed Melody down on the mattress.

  Luna climbed between Melody’s open legs and began to lick her clit. She cried out as Luna buried her face further between her thighs,
she felt her juice moisten her lips and chin. She continued to trace the sweet path between her clit and her asshole as Rodney stroked his hungry cock.

  Luna suddenly felt him climb onto the bed behind her. Without warning, he grabbed a fistful of her hair and shoved that huge beautiful dick deep inside her pussy. It shot waves through her entire body and took her a second to catch her breath as his thrusts increased in speed. Each time he would force it into her, it pushed her tongue further and further into Melody’s juicy pussy. His primal grunts mixed with Melody’s sweet sighs every time her tongue entered her. She wanted to cum all over his dick, she wanted to taste her and feel him.

  He slammed into her tight hole over and over, she could feel him stiffen and beginning to throb. She finger-fucked her ass in sync with the thrusts until she felt the first waves of orgasm wash through her body. She cried out, she was dripping wet. Her pussy constricted around him. The man could fuck for hours, she thought. He let her ride his cock until the last pulses rushed through her body, then he slowly pulled out. He grabbed her arms, pulling her to an upright position and laid her on the bed next to Melody. He positioned his dick over their upper bodies and began to stroke himself. They watched his hand slide up and down the shaft, until he was ready to explode. With one final movement, he came, spraying his hot sticky cum all over their mouths and tits. She licked it from Melody’s breast as one final shot landed upon her greedy tongue.

  Lelani stared at the angry werewolf from her safe perch high in a pine tree. For the last half hour, Gideon had been sitting in the snow at the base of the pine. He was growling and yipping at her to come down from her perch and return home with him. Lelani daintily licked a paw. She pretended to be unconcerned by all the noise her bodyguard was making. Annoying Gideon was Lelani’s latest joy in life. After all, she hadn’t asked to be part of a werewolf pack, or to be given a bodyguard.

  A few weeks ago, Lelani had been abducted from her home by Jem Teberith, a werewolf who had been intent on forcing her to become his mate. Her sister, Luna, had saved her from Jem by becoming the mate of a rival pack’s alpha male. She knew her sister was coming for her. Jem Teberinth made sure that she was treated nicely and even assigned a bodyguard for her, Lelani however, chafed under the werewolf lifestyle. An unmated Nubian lion was not meant to live in a pack.

  “Damn it Lelani! Get your furry rear out of that tree, or I am coming up there after you! Again!”

  Apparently, Gideon had gotten tired of waiting for her to come down on her own. He stood shivering in the snow, nude as the day he was born. Lelani took a good long look. She had to admit, Gideon was a fine looking man. She always considered it a good day when she could force the handsome werewolf to change back out of his werewolf form, and face him down naked.

  Deciding she had played hard to get long enough, Lelani stood up, stretched, and jumped down from the tree. She didn’t want to have a repeat of her last hunt. Lelani had been forced to pluck pine slivers from Gideon’s legs, while Jem lectured her about not mistreating her bodyguard. Landing next to the well-muscled man, Lelani gave him a playful head butt.

  “Knock it off she-cat. I’m hungry, cold, and it is time to head home.”

  The striking man turned back into a werewolf, huge and grizzled grey with light yellow green eyes. Lelani gave his muzzle a quick lick, and then leapt away as he play-snapped at her.

  Lelani turned and began making her way back towards the cabin the pack had given her to call home. She wondered how Gideon felt about having to share living accommodations with a woman he wasn’t sleeping with.

  Despite all the teasing and trouble she gave him, Lelani felt sorry for the handsome werewolf. It couldn’t be easy on him. She had seen him stealing glances at other werewolves when they went out together, or finished their night curled up next to each other in the midst of the pack. Clearly he wanted to take a mate himself. Yet most of the female wolves in the pack were already mated, or too intimidated by the Alpha’s second to consider approaching him. Not to mention he was now stuck following her around. Maybe there was something she could do to help him.

  When they finally reached the cabin, Lelani shifted back into her human form swinging her hips tantalizingly as she walked in the front door. She grabbed her clothes which hung on the wall just inside, then threw Gideon his sweat pants over her shoulder. She could hear him give a frustrated sigh as she headed to the kitchen.

  “Aw come on Gideon. It wasn’t that bad, you only had to wait half an hour this time!” She looked over her shoulder at the man, who stared at her with an eyebrow arched.

  “Come on, I will make those steaks you brought back from last night’s kill.”

  “I’m going to take a shower.”

  He grunted at her. “I’ll be back out when the food is ready.”

  “Don’t forget to let me if you hear or smell anything suspicious.”

  Lelani finished the sentence for him. “I know, I know. Get going, will you?”

  Lelani fried the venison steaks with some potatoes and onions while she pondered Gideon’s problem. The trouble was he needed to get out of pack territory and meet a few women who weren’t intimidated by his status in the pack. Lelani knew a few nice female werewolves who lived in the nearby town. However, after the incident five months ago, she had been forbidden from returning to town by Rodney. The town was outside of pack territory, and it was considered too dangerous for her to go down there without several wolves in attendance. If she tried to go down there with just Gideon, she would get both of them in a lot of trouble. More trouble than it was worth.

  Lelani sighed as she turned the steaks in the pan. Her life would be so much easier if she just… Lelani stopped and blinked a few times, as a realization hit her. If she were to take a mate, all her problems would be solved. She wouldn’t need a guard anymore. Jem would have no use for a mated Nubian. Plus, her magic would help her adjust to her lover’s lifestyle. She wouldn’t feel like such a stranger in the midst of her sister’s new family. Who would the lucky werewolf be?

  She mulled over her options as she pulled the steaks from the frying pan. Then she heard Gideon come out of the bathroom and call down the hall to ask if the food was done. A devilish smile spread across Lelani’s pretty face. Perfect, she could get rid of both of their problems in one fell swoop.

  “Dinner’s ready!” she called down the hall in her best fifties housewife voice.

  While the two ate, Lelani carefully considered how she could seduce the big werewolf. Lelani knew it wouldn’t be easy. After five months of chasing her around, Gideon was savvy to most of her usual tricks. If she simply tried to slip into bed with him one night, he’d throw a fit. Not to mention that her lack of experience made outright seduction a bad option. Getting him drunk wouldn’t work either.

  First off, Gideon could drink her under the table, easily. Plus, her Nubian magic worked far more easily when both partners were willing. Seducing a man in a drunken stupor wasn’t the best way to start a relationship.

  “Why are you staring at me like that?” Gideon’s annoyed voice broke into her musings.

  Startled, Lelani gave him her most disarming smile.

  “No reason. Is the new episode of that fishing show you like on TV tonight?”

  Gideon grunted and confirmed that it was, although he wasn’t sure how the reception would be.

  “Weather report says there is a big snow storm coming in tonight, maybe tomorrow.”

  She sighed appreciatively.

  “You may be a pain in my ass she-cat, but you sure can cook. That was a fine steak.”

  Clearing his plate, Gideon headed to the front door.

  “I’m gonna check in with Rodney. You stay put, I will be back.”

  While Gideon was gone, a plan began to form in Lelani’s head. A few miles down the ridge line from her cabin was a small cave. She had found it on a hunt a few months after she moved in. Sometimes she used it as refuge when she wanted to spend some time away from t
he pack. She had made a little den inside, and kept it stocked with some blankets, a few books, a lantern and a few other necessities. Everything she would need to spend a few days away in relative privacy and comfort. Gideon knew exactly where it was, he had tracked her to the cave several times. If she could lure him out there, right as the storm hit, they would be marooned together, in a small space. That should give Lelani ample time to convince him that their relationship needed to take on a new dimension.

  When Gideon returned, he was surprised to find Lelani already dozing on the couch. Carefully, he picked up his charge and carried her to her bedroom. He groaned a bit when she reacted to his presence by cuddling into his arms. Lelani hid her half smile as she snuggled against him. Just as she’d thought, he wasn’t as immune to her charms as he pretended. She felt him gently place her on the bed, and then carefully tuck the blankets around her. She heard him sigh as he left her bedroom, and Lelani smiled beneath the blankets. He was already halfway hers.

  Lelani did allow herself several hours of sleep before she woke up. It was the dead of night, and the cabin was nearly silent around her. All she could hear was the sound of Gideon’s breathing coming from his bedroom.

  Looking out the window, Lelani saw to her satisfaction that the snow was falling heavily outside. There was little wind, so visibility was still good. The weather seemed perfect for her plan. Lelani stepped away from the window, butterflies beginning to flutter in her stomach. What if she was mistaken about the attraction she thought she had seen? What if she couldn’t get Gideon to make love to her? What if something bad happened while they were out there, by themselves? Lelani shook off her apprehension. Now was not the time for doubt. Now was the time for action!

  Slipping out of the cabin and into the snow, Lelani snuck around the cabin until she reached her bodyguard’s window. She loudly wrapped on the glass pane until she saw him start out of bed and face her. His furious expression told her she had his attention. She gave her guard a chipper little wave.
