Inextinguishable Love: Firefighter and Interracial Romance

by Kathleen Bunker

  “Hi Gideon! Isn’t the snow gorgeous? I’m going to go out for a run! Bye!” Like that, she shifted into a black lioness and ran off into the night.

  Lelani didn’t actually go very far. She stopped when she was hidden from sight in the nearby woods and listened closely. She could hear Gideon bellowing furiously at her, first from the window, and within a few moments, from the door.

  With a final, “Damn it all you crazy she-cat!” he shifted form, and she could hear canine footsteps head in the direction she had fled. Then she was off in full force, headed for the cave. She loved having Gideon chase her. It always gave her a thrill to know he was just behind her, that he might catch her at any moment. A few times she had even let him catch her, his massive bulk slamming into her and pinning her into the ground.

  Tonight was no exception. Lelani ran through the woods. Behind her she could hear Gideon beginning to catch up. He chased her through the snow, the white fluff outlining her black body, making her easier to tail.

  Ahead Lelani saw the ridge that her cave hideout was built into. She made a slight turn towards the cave, allowing her to make certain Gideon was still close behind her. When the werewolf realized her destination, he began to speed up, towards her flank. He was intent on cutting her off. That was a tactic of his Lelani knew well. Instead of letting him flank her, Lelani stopped short. Gideon blew past her before he realized his mistake. By the time he had turned around, Lelani was off again, this time sprinting towards the cave. By the time he caught up Lelani was already inside the cave, stretched out naked on her pile of blankets.

  “Oh, there you are, Gideon. I was wondering what took you so long.” Lelani told the werewolf as he shifted in front of her.

  “What the hell, Lelani? Have you lost your furry feline mind? What part of snowstorm were you confused about?”

  Right on cue, the wind began to howl outside the cave, blowing the snow into a nearly solid white sheet. Gideon glanced over his shoulder at the weather outside. Then he angrily threw the heavy wool blanket she had pegged up to act as a door down over the cave entrance. When he moved towards her, Lelani realized he was favoring his left leg.

  Alarmed she sat up. “What happened to your leg?” Lelani asked him.

  “It’s fine” he grumbled at her angrily.

  “I just strained my ankle a bit on that last turn. You really need to stop doing this, she-cat. It’s too hard on my body.”

  Gideon sat down next to her looking defeated. “What are you running from Lelani? Is it me? Do you want me to ask Rodney to assign you a new guard?”

  “What?” Lelani gasped, horrified.

  “No, of course I don’t want a new guard. I’m not running from anything. I just want… I want…” Gideon looked at her and sighed.

  “What are you after Lelani? Can’t you just tell me? I realize these last few months have been hard on you. I know you didn’t ask to become a pack member. All of us are trying our best to help you fit in. If there is something you need, just say so, I’m not a mind reader.”

  Lelani stared at Gideon. She hadn’t realized that her behavior had been so hard on him.

  “I’m sorry, Gideon. I didn’t mean to cause you so much trouble.”

  She touched his cold cheek with a gentle hand. “I thought you enjoyed chasing me. I enjoy it.” She could feel his cheek heat as he flushed.

  “Well, I can’t say the chases don’t have their moments…” Gideon admitted.

  Lelani leaned in close to him. “Do you want me to ask Rodney to assign me a new guard?” Lelani asked him quietly.

  Gideon shook his head. “No, I don’t.” He said as their eyes met.

  “Good.” Lelani answered quietly, and brushed her lips tenderly against his.

  For a moment, Gideon froze under the soft kiss. Then, as if a mighty storm had been brewing inside him, had finally broken, he struck. In a moment Lelani found herself encased in his arms, lying under him, as his lips claimed hers in a passionate assault. The Nubian magic flowed through her letting her meet his passion with a wild abandon of her own. While the storm raging outside, the couple’s wild passions raged inside.

  “May I touch you?” he asked seductively.

  She nodded but remained silent. She closed her eyes as she felt him standing before her. She could smell the champagne on his breath, so appealing. His left hand rested on her hip while the right one ran along the side of her face. She nearly lost control of her body, her knees weak and her bladder ached with pleasure.

  His finger continued to run along her neck and down to her heaving chest. His hand cupped one of her boobs.

  “Your boobs are so firm and hard.” He acknowledged. She nodded again but still remained silent. Her lips were slightly parted in a silent invitation to be kissed by him. He leaned in and brushed his lips across her ear while whispering, “It suits you.”

  He was seducing her, this wasn’t her typical roses or candle lit affair, it was intoxicating and an erotic encounter that was making her lose her mind.

  “Turn around,” he softly said. He wrapped his hand fully around her waist, holding her against him as he placed his left hand on her forehead. He pulled her head to the side. His mouth covered the skin of her neck. He sucked and licked her until I was gasping for air. This was now becoming urgent. She could feel his desire.

  She wanted to see him but the experience was so exquisite that she couldn’t open her eyes. She couldn’t turn to face him because she was not allowed to. She heard the low sound of desire boiling inside of him.

  It was as if he was growling as his body began to writhe against hers. His lips moved hungrily on her neck and shoulder as his hands wondered from her breast to belly and back again. He was an animal but in a sweet way. She felt like he was losing control of his senses, he was now about to unleash his passion on her. Her pussy was swollen and twitching at the same time. She felt the sense of desperation building up within her.

  With his hands on each of her hips, he led her to the bed. He pushed her until she was lying face down on the bed. Her heels slipped from her feet to the floor. He massaged each foot tenderly with his palms. His hands ran up the back of her calves and rested on her ass. He kneaded them like dough between his strong fingers. She was exposed and felt vulnerable.

  She felt she had chosen the best thong underwear and a thigh high stocking. It seemed to appeal him because he moaned as he kissed the back of her thighs and her round, tight ass. She could feel her pussy coating the fabric of her thong with her wetness.

  “Turn over and lie on you back,” she did as he instructed.

  “Now raise your hands and grab the headboard.” He continued.

  He removed her thigh high stockings and used it to tie her wrists to the bed. Her heart and mind frantically raced. She was not sure whether she wanted this or not, yet she couldn’t say no. She felt so confused yet so aroused. She chose to remain silent.

  She wanted to gauge the level of danger that existed. She could smell the mixture of his cologne and champagne. She felt the heat in her wrist from the friction from the stocking. Her inner thighs trembled.

  He gently placed a hand on her knees and gently pulled them apart. She tried to relax and let her legs open, exposing her fully shaved and dripping pussy. Before she realized it, his face was buried between her thighs. His tongue moved swiftly on her clitoris. She was breathless.

  She could hear him slurping and sucking her, he pushed his tongue in and out of her while lapping the juices that were flowing from her. Her palm held around the headboard, shaking and sweating as he devoured her. He held her ass so tight, squeezing her cheeks with his face on her pussy. She felt her orgasm building up.

  “Oh, fuck me.” She screamed as the orgasm gripped over her body.

  He pulled his mouth just she began to squirt her juice all over the bed. Before she could think, she felt the head of his cock rubbing against her gaping hole. She felt dizzy.

  “Fuck me,” she pleaded with him begging him to fuck her. S
he wanted to feel his dick inside her and feel his hips banging her pussy and ass.

  She pushed her hips towards him, moaning in a primal way. He reacted to her pleasure and fucked her like she’d never been fucked before. She enjoyed every thrust.

  He lifted her left leg onto his shoulder while thrusting deep in her. He slid his hand and rubbed her ass. It felt so good that she melted. His forefinger slid slowly towards her gaping asshole. She wasn’t sure how she’d feel but as he drew nearer, she panted from desire.

  She found it amazing as his finger slid in and out of her ass. The orgasm ripped through her the first time. Her mouth opened in a silent scream as her veins throbbed in her temples. He joined her, holding his dick as it spilled its milky treat inside her.

  Their lovemaking was fed by Lelani’s magic and a mutual longing which had been building for the last five months. Lelani hardly felt any pain when Gideon claimed her virginity, the tiny wave of pain lost to the greater pleasure that washed over the two of them as they lost themselves in each other.

  *****

  The next morning, Luna awoke to find Rodney gently shaking her shoulder.

  “I have already spoken to James. Jem managed to finally bring Lelani to the Claw’s headquarters late last night. Seems she gave him quite a run for his money. He has agreed to return her to me, if we meet him in person, and can prove her status. We will meet him and Jem in neutral territory in three hours. I had Angel bring you something to wear. You should get dressed. I will find you something to eat on the way out there.”

  Rodney gave her a kiss and after a long moment had to force himself away, lest they be delayed by a repeat of last night’s lovemaking. Luna smiled at the look of longing on his face as he walked out the door. She lay back in bed for a moment, her hand resting lightly on her womb.

  Then Luna sat up and turned to find the proffered clothes sitting on the edge of the bed, a hair brush sitting neatly on top of them. Luna chuckled as she dressed. She pulled the brush through her hair then walked out into the living room of the cabin. Rodney was waiting for her by the door.

  Rodney held the door of the cabin open for her, and Luna walked outside to find the entire Steel Fang pack waiting for them outside. Sampson approached her, and ritualistically stepping into her space put his hand around her waist. Rodney’s answering growl was instant and terrifying. Sampson quickly backed up obviously a bit shocked by the vehemence of what was typically a ritual response. One of the two women Luna had seen the night before, a petite blond, tried to move past Luna to approach Rodney. Luna blocked her path and screamed an outraged snarl at the interloper. The blond jumped in the air and quickly moved away, back towards the comfort of the pack. Luna was surprised at her actions. She had not anticipated that she would want to protect her mate. He was after all, practically a complete stranger.

  Suddenly she found she didn’t want another female within twenty feet of her man. The alpha pair bond having been tested and accepted by the pack, they all knelt before the couple.

  Rodney gave her a comforting squeeze. “You will get used to it. Come on, we need to go.”

  Three hours later she and Rodney were standing next to each other in a forested clearing, the pack arrayed behind them. From the other side of the woods, James Teberith and his son Jem came walking out. Luna noted with satisfaction that Jem looked worse for the wear. Lelani followed the two, escorted by an elderly female member of the pack. It was fairly clear by the look on her face that the elder did not approve of Jem’s tactics for acquiring a mate.

  Luna caught Lelani’s eye from across the clearing. She looked tired and angry, but uninjured. When Lelani tried to walk towards her sister, James stopped her. “Not yet, little cat.” Luna could hear him tell her.

  Rodney called out across the clearing. “James, you are holding a member of my pack against her will. I am asking that you release her peacefully.”

  The Crimson Claw’s alpha shook his head no. “My boy desires to claim this Nubia as his wife. Last I heard Rodney, you had no alpha female in your pack. Yet now you show up with a strange woman at your side, and claim pack status for a female you didn’t even know existed until yesterday? I’m not buying it.”

  Luna snuck a worried glance at Rodney, as she slipped her hand into his. He seemed unconcerned, alert but relaxed. She took a deep breath to calm her nerves, and called out across the clearing.

  “My name is Luna. Lelani is my sister. Last night, Rodney Mackenzie took me as his mate and the Steel Fang pack has accepted our pair bond. Even now his child is forming in my womb.” Her announcement drew startled breaths from behind her, and Rodney’s eyes flicked over to her, before returning to watch James. His grip on her hand tightened.

  “Luna, are you sure? It’s barely been twelve hours.” He muttered to her under his breath.

  She simply shook her head, and called out to the Crimson Claw’s alpha again. “Surely your elder can discern these things. Send her to me.”

  Luna released Rodney’s hand and calmly walked into the center of the clearing. James nodded his head, and the elderly woman walked out to meet Luna. The elder took Luna’s hand in her cool, leathered one. Luna could feel a tiny burst of magic pulse through her, and then the woman chuckled.

  “You’re a clever girl.” The old woman said to Luna under her breath.

  “Rodney will have his hands full with you, and that’s before the twins. They’re a boy and girl by the way, good for you. Don’t you worry for your sister. Jem’s an idiot sometimes, but he didn’t hurt her. He knew Nanny Teb would tan his hide if he did.”

  Turning back, the old woman called back to James.

  “Rodney’s claim is valid, son. This woman is his mate, and bears his young.”

  “No, I will not allow them to take her from me.” Jem said. For once in his life, he was going to ignore his father’s orders.

  “You will have to listen to your father,” one woman said. “I saw Gideon and the she cat kissing. She cannot be your mate now.”

  Jem looked at Gideon with rage in his eyes. He was like a brother to him. He trusted him. Gideon noticed what was about to happen and he started running to the forest.

  The air was full of growling as he raced into the forest. It was clear to him that the hunting pack knew he betrayed them. Too bad for them, he thought to herself, he had no time for them but Lelani. He was not about to slow down. He sped in the forest. The pack realized he was not stopping. If she couldn’t get to the other side on time, then he’s as good as dead. He used his forward momentum to speed up. The entire pack was behind him. Jem was approaching him.

  Jem was filled with rage as he jumped on Gideon.

  “No.” Sanura one of the female werewolf screamed as she stopped.

  The pack joined in attacking Gideon. They tore him into pieces with their teeth. Sanura felt helpless, she was of no help. There was nothing she could do; Gideon was already dead. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she looked at the pack members. She wanted to kill them. She wanted to revenge Gideon’s death. This was the end of her, she wanted to die.

  ****

  James nodded his head and just like that, Lelani was running across the clearing to her sister. With a sigh of relief, Lelani held her younger sister tightly to her.

  From behind Luna, Rodney approached them, putting a gentle hand on Luna’ shoulder, “Welcome to the Steel Fang Pack, little sister.”

  Sniffling, Lelani lifted her head to look up at the alpha. “Thank you. For rescuing me, I mean, and making me an auntie? Luna, I knew you’d been looking for a mate before your next cycle, but why didn’t you tell me?”

  Lelani fixed her sister with an incredulous smile. Luna blushed.

  “It’s a long story. Come on, I will tell you on the way home.”

  The two women turned and walked back to the edge of the clearing, where their new family waited to welcome them. Lelani looked behind her to see whether Gideon was coming back with the rest of the pack but the field was clear. She had to go withou
t saying goodbye.
