She smiled and something inside of Enyowas—something that told him to leave, to run, just melted away.
Though he loved her fingers on him, he drew Elianna under the spray, and then began to soap her up all over. He washed her hair first, marveling over how silky it was, then he gently cleaned the paint from her face. When he was done, he stood back and admired her body. Though it was torment not to take her right away, he went to work on her body, feeling like a sculptor caressing and taking care of his favorite piece of work, molding and kneading, stroking and brushing. His cock throbbed painfully, and the wait to fill her was a pleasurable torment, but he wouldn’t have had it any other way.
He soaped her all over and didn’t leave a single spot on her body untouched, then he rinsed it all off, trailing his fingers and mouth over every inch of smooth creamy skin until Elianna was trembling under his touch.
She rubbed her body against his, sandwiching his erection between them while her hands gripped his biceps. “Please, I need you.”
“Soon.” He got down on his knees. “Hold on to me,” he said, and nudged her legs apart.
Her small hands gripped his shoulders as he used his mouth on her most tender parts until he had her shaking with the intensity of her passion. Claws dug into his flesh, making his cock throb, as she began to pant.
“Don’t stop, please,” she said on a strangled moan.
Pleased, Enyowas continued to lick and suck, then inserted a finger inside her.
With another loud moan, Elianna ground herself against him, and her shaking increased, then she let out a loud scream as her whole body shuddered.
Enyowas licked his lips, loving her taste as he finally stood. Elianna sagged into his arms, the touch of her skin against his made the burning in his body erupt into flames.
“My turn,” she said and moved back so that she could gently cup him.
“Oh yeah, fuck!”
Elianna smiled, then with one hand caressing his balls, wrapped her other one around his shaft. “You’re so hard, yet silky smooth, and big. How do you fit inside me?”
“Very nicely.” Enyowas gripped the railing on the wall behind her, as she slowly began to move her hand up and down while massaging his balls. “I’m not going to last long if you keep this up.”
She glanced up at him, and a little satisfied smile curved her lips. “Good, because I’ve never done this before, and I want to.”
He groaned as she continued to torment him.
“Tell me if I don’t do it right,” she said and knelt in front of him.
Just the sight of her mouth inches from his cock almost made him come. “I’m sure you will be fine,” he said, then gasped when she took him into her mouth.
More than fine, he thought as she slid him in, back out, then back in, and he knew he’d never get enough of this. Of her. He cupped the back of her head and fought the impulse to plunge deep and hard.
She took him all the way down her throat, squeezing him tight.
Enyowas began to pant as she swallowed him, sucked, and licked, over and over, as if he were an ice cream treat that she was determined she’d finish before it melted.
“You need to stop,” he rasped.
She worked him faster.
Enyowas gripped her hair. “Elianna, I’m going to lose control if you keep going.”
“Good, lose control,” she said and continued, “I want all of you. Give it to me. You tasted me, now I want to taste you.”
A groan slipped out when she grabbed his balls and slid him deep once more.
He began to come. Elianna held him deep inside her throat until he was finished, but he wasn’t done.
He pulled her to her feet and up against his body. He dipped his head to her small pert breast, swirling the nipple with his tongue.
“Enyowas, please, inside me now!”
He switched to her other waiting nipple, teased it until it was a tight nub, then let go. As his mouth landed on her, she opened under his onslaught, hands in his hair.
No, he’d never get enough of her, and now he wasn’t even sure why he resisted. She met his demands with her own, until he was throbbing once again to be inside of her. Then he lifted her up. “Wrap your legs around me,” he said and leaned her back against the shower wall.
She did, and then slid down on him until he was buried deep inside of her.
It was bliss.
Elianna moaned, her tongue warring with his, and Enyowas began to pump into her hard and fast until they were both struggling to draw in breath.
Her little whimpers of pleasure were music to his ears, and he couldn’t get enough of her. He turned around and set her down on the bench, nudging her legs apart.
Elianna sighed as he filled her up, then he began to thrust.
In and out, deep and fast.
“Close, so close.” He grunted, loving the passion he saw on her face as he took her.
“Yes.” She panted, meeting him thrust for thrust, then she threw back her head and screamed his name, her fingers digging into his arms as she shuddered.
Passion-filled eyes held him mesmerized as Elianna’s insides squeezed him in a tight hold, milking him. It drove him wild.
“I love this.” She breathed.
Spurred on by her candid revelations, Enyowas withdrew, spun her around and bent her over. “I’ve been dreaming of being buried inside of you since we left that little cabin,” he said. “Brace yourself.” He plunged back into her moist, wet folds and thrust deep.
Little mewling sounds tore from Elianna and she urged him to go faster. “Don’t stop, please!”
“Not stopping,” he ground out, unable to if he had wanted.
Only after she screamed his name again and clutched his cock tight, did he pull her up against his chest. “Want to taste you.” He cupped her throat and turned her head so that he could claim her waiting lips.
Her mouth opened on a purr and he delved inside, then he took her hard and fast until his balls drew tight. A tingle raced up from his toes and down his spine. Then he cradled her close as he exploded, bringing her with him.
“Oh God, what you do to me,” he said, when they were both spent.
“That was amazing.”
Enyowas’s heart warmed at the happiness shining from Elianna, and the fact that he’d put it there.
Enyowas carried her from the shower, then set her on her feet. He grabbed a large towel, and she waited in silence as he proceeded to dry her off.
Then he took her hand and led her from the bathroom and back down into clan home. But he stopped at the first floor they came to. The third floor. “Will you spend the night with me?”
“I’d like that.”
They fell into bed, and though he was growing hard once again, Elianna yawned.
He snuggled her close and listened as her breathing evened out. His cock nestled against her bottom, and he figured he’d be awake all night, aching for her, but instead, his eyes drifted closed.
With the sweet scent of Elianna like a warm sunny blanket covering him, Enyowas fell asleep.
Chapter 21
Enyowas wasn’t surprised that the team he sent to track the serial killing leopard had lost their quarry. The bastard had to be found before he hurt someone else, like Elianna. Garner’s threat against her made his chest hurt. It couldn’t happen, he wouldn’t let it. Yet, as he thought about the siblings he’d failed to protect, anger and helplessness coiled inside him.
With a snarl, Enyowas got up and headed for the door of his office.
“Where you going?” Veldi asked, on his way in.
“I need to run.”
“Then I’m coming with,” his brother said.
Enyowas was about to tell him there was no need, but then realized he didn’t care. Besides, he’d be a hypocrite if he ran alone after his rule that everyone went with a partner.
Once outside in the forest, he shifted into his cat while Veldi let his lion loose. Then they took off, and with no destination in
mind, they ran.
Trees and brush blurred past as the ground flew under their paws. They startled a deer and gave chase for a moment, before veering off in another direction and continuing at a breakneck pace. Then they slowed and after a bit, Enyowas leaped up onto the branch of a tree and settled down, listening to the beat of his heart. Veldi sat silently on the ground below.
The sun shone through the forest, bright streams of light that warmed everything in its path that it touched. The forest was alive with creatures great and small, and not for the first time Enyowas felt the pull to lose himself to his beast. To be free of the responsibility, the constant worry of those he had to keep safe, and just become one with nature. The run had been invigorating, and well needed, but still the dark cloud inside of him hovered, trying to burst free and take over.
The draw was one born of the darkness inside him, and though tempting, his mind wouldn’t let him go there. Then he thought of Elianna. More specifically, the amazing evening before and the night they’d spent together. No, he had to fight the darkness, for there was no way he could just walk away.
Enyowas leaped back down to the ground and started for home. “I need to get back.”
Veldi fell in beside him. “You want me to go with team three to pick up that were-wolf from Sami and Hellfire’s place?”
“No, actually, I thought I’d go myself. Maybe see if Elianna wants to take a ride.” Sami had called and asked Enyowas if the EfPP could take the wolf off their hands. The guy had been one of those who’d betrayed their pack mates and sold them to the Ilyium.
“Good idea,” Veldi said.
Enyowas found Elianna in the kitchen with Sima. The two were eating ice cream and laughing.
“Hi,” he said as he walked in.
Without a word, Sima set her bowl in the sink and left.
Enyowas watched her go, and sadness filled his heart. He felt like he’d failed her as well when Elsary died, though he had no idea how to make it right.
“She’ll be okay. She’s just confused and missing her sister,” Elianna said, then her eyes warmed, and she smiled. “Though I’m not complaining, I didn’t expect to see you until later. What’s going on?”
Enyowas’s whole body warmed, and his cock hardened. Maybe he should skip the ride and take her upstairs instead.
“What ride?” she asked, a twinkle in her golden eyes.
Had he said that aloud? Shit, he really was losing it over her. “Team three is heading up to Sami and Hellfire’s place to pick up a prisoner and I thought I’d go with them, and wanted to see if you’d like to take a ride.”
Elianna came over and leaned against him. “I’d love to,” she said as her lips met his.
Enyowas fisted her hair and groaned at her sweet, decadent taste. His whole body tightened. “God, I want you.”
“I want you as well,” she said, then moved away. “But I think you should take Sima with you.”
Enyowas wanted to pull her back into his arms, but just blinked instead. “I don’t think she wants to go anywhere with me.”
Elianna smiled and shook her head. “You might be surprised.”
Enyowas gave her another kiss, then went to find his sister. Sima was in her room sitting at her desk with a book open in front of her. He knocked on the doorframe. “Hey.”
She turned and looked up at him, a question in her eyes.
“I wondered if you’d like to take a ride up north of the city with me?”
She seemed to think about it for a moment, and he thought she was going to turn him down, but then she nodded and stood. “Okay.”
Neither of them spoke again until they were outside at his bike. He handed her a helmet.
“It’s been a long time since we went for a ride,” she said, almost tentatively, as if testing the waters.
“It has. Sorry I’ve been so busy,” he said.
“That’s okay, I understand, you have to find Sary’s killer.”
Enyowas swallowed the lump in his throat. “I do, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t take some time out to spend with you.”
“I’m sorry I’ve been a bitch to you.” Sima was staring at the ground, tears trickling down her cheeks.
Enyowas pulled her close. “Sh, it’s okay. I get it, and I don’t blame you for being mad at me.”
She wrapped her arms around him and shook her head. “I’m not mad at you, I’m mad at me.”
“What? Why?”
She sniffled and moved back, wiping at her face. “I was so angry with Sary disappearing again, and not answering my calls, and not taking me shopping. I was so mad at her, and I said things … and all along she was dead, so it wasn’t her fault.”
Enyowas wiped at the tears on his sister’s face. “You can’t beat yourself up about this, you didn’t know.”
“I’m sorry for how I treated you.” With a sob, Sima threw herself at him and hung on. “Please don’t die on me too.”
“Sh, I’m not going anywhere, little sister, you’re going to have to put up with me for a long time,” he said, making a mental note to thank Elianna.
The ride up north was good and Enyowas felt himself beginning to relax.
He oversaw the were-wolf prisoner being loaded into the team vehicle, then looked at Jax. “So, I take it you were the ones who released all the Ilyium captives at Liberty Lake?”
Jax nodded. “Yeah, it was a pretty bad scene there.”
“Well, good job. I’m glad someone found them,” Enyowas said, and shook hands with Jax.
He watched the other male go back inside, then called Sima over to leave.
“I see you made some new friends,” he said when she joined him at his bike.
“I did.” With a big smile, she waved at a teenage boy. “It’s amazing up here, so wild and free.”
“It is, isn’t it,” he said.
“I know you wanted to bring Elianna,” she said. “But … thank you for bringing me instead.”
“You’re welcome, little sis,” he said, ruffling her hair and smiling when she growled at him. He handed her the helmet.
It was late by the time Enyowas finally turned off the light and exited his office for the night. He was more than ready to see Elianna, and wanted to thank her for her insight regarding his sister, and then get her naked in bed.
His cell phone rang. A shiver of dread raced up his spine as he saw his number one sentinel’s name on the screen. This couldn’t be good. “What’s up?”
“Sorry, Boss, we’ve got a situation. Four females murdered in a hotel room,” Ferno said. “Same MO as the other kills.”
Enyowas swore. “Are you sure?”
“I’m sure. They’re shredded, and I caught the same scent as before, plus that of a couple others,” Ferno said.
“What’s the address?”
Enyowas arrived on scene, and this time the scents were fresh and distinct, and not trampled. “Who found this?”
“Housekeeping. She called her supervisor. He happens to be a wolf shifter, and called us when he recognized the vics as mixed-breed cat shifters.”
Enyowas studied the bodies and a deep rage began to grow, along with his disgust. “Garner’s taunting me, he told me he had friends and that I’d regret crossing him.”
“Bastard,” Ferno said, turning away as their team started to do a sweep of the room. The wolf and two team members were keeping everyone away. They’d also take care of the bodies before the humans and then a crew would come in and clean up.
“Cap?” one of his men called, and Enyowas turned to see Garret at the door.
“Let him through,” Enyowas said.
Garret’s jaw clenched as he looked around. “This my brother’s work?”
Enyowas nodded. “Afraid so, him and his buddies.”
Garret’s eyes flashed. “He’s got a lot to pay for. I will find him and take care of this.” Then the male was gone.
Enyowas didn’t envy him, though his twin was a psychotic serial killer, it wasn’t easy
taking out one’s own family. He only hoped that they’d find the guy first and save Garret having to deal with it.
Chapter 22
As she painted, Elianna contemplated what was happening between her and Enyowas. Done, she set the paintbrush down and went to wash up. She avoided looking at the shower as she cleaned her face and hands. Why could she never seem to paint without wearing it all?
But as she left the large room, she couldn’t help looking at the huge tiled shower stall.
Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined sex could be so amazing.
She’d been even more surprised when Enyowas asked her to spend the night in his bed.
Gah, she’d slept better than ever wrapped in his arms, and he’d woken her with the hottest kisses. All over her body. Just thinking of him, his fingers, his tongue and his very thick, large cock sent heat warming her veins—an ache started between her legs. Yeah, she could def get addicted to the guy.
With a smile on her face, she went down to the second floor. A lot of the adults worked, so other than the children and the few who cooked or kept clan home running, the place was fairly empty. She went and peered into the classroom, smiling at the young faces bent over their desks hard at work.
Sima came out of the laundry room carrying a clean basket of laundry. “You done painting?”
Elianna felt her face heat. “You saw me?”
“Yeah, you missed lunch, but when I noticed what you were doing, I didn’t want to bother you.”
“Oh, sorry.”
“Why?” Sima asked. “I wish I could paint like you.”
“Thank you.” Unused to praise, Elianna changed the subject. “Is Kayta around?”
“She’s at one of the shelters, why?”
“I thought I’d see if there was something I could do to help,” Elianna said.
“I’m sure there is, Kayta is always saying they could use more help.” Sima glanced over to the far corner, and Elianna realized that she hadn’t even noticed Enyowas’s mother. Deidra sat on one of the antique chairs like she was some kind of queen. An evil queen, Elianna thought as the woman stared out the window drinking tea.
