Berrr's Vow (19 page)

“It would harm me if one of those assholes tried to rape me and it would be against my will. I have the right to say no to them touching me, don’t I?”

He took a deep breath, his hands rubbing her hips he gripped. “It is not that simple and I apologize. You must think we are a very brutal world with insulting laws to women but as a house helper those men are entitled to touch you as my honored guests. I was hoping there wouldn’t be an issue but Ssshal is definitely not going to let this go. I won’t have you at risk, my Shanna, so I must send you to safety. Please trust me on this.”

She didn’t want to leave Berrr. She had met Rever and he seemed nice enough, she knew Berrr wouldn’t send her there unless she was safe, but after realizing she was in love with Berrr she didn’t want to be away from him. Shanna nodded though, agreeing to go.

“I’m going to miss you.” A horrible thought struck her. “Just because I’m not here doesn’t mean you’re going to touch other women, does it?” She glared up at him. “Because if you do don’t bother coming to pick me up when those guys leave.”

Frowning, Berrr softly growled at her. “I know monogamy and I gave you my vow of it. That vow is in place if you are in my bed, at my side or not. Do you doubt my word?”

This was a man who’d bound to a woman who hated him, knowing that’s why she was doing it, just to punish him, yet he’d done it to keep his word to the bitch. “I trust your word, Berrr. I know its rock solid.”

His features relaxed into a smile.
“Rock solid?
I understand the definition. I take it this is another Earth saying?”

“Yes.” She lifted her hands up, rubbing his chest, wishing she were touching skin rather than his leather shirt. “I’m going to really miss you.” She bit her lip and grinned. “When are the rest of your guests arriving?”

“In a few hours.”

“Do you want to learn another Earth saying?”

He grinned. “Yes. I find some of them amusing.”

She grinned back. “Let’s go have a quickie before you send me away.”

His eyebrows arched. “Is this a form of snack to eat?”

Laughing, Shanna backed up, slowly turning with Berrr still holding her, inching him toward the hallway. “You like to use your mouth on me so I guess I could be considered a snack.” Her eyes lowered to the front of his pants. “And I love to use my mouth on you. You taste so sweet.” Her gaze lifted. “Want to have a quickie with me before you send me to your son’s house?”

Berrr softly growled. “You want me to take you to bed quickly, correct?”

“You bet your sexy ass I do.”

Shanna gasped out as he lunged, grabbed her around her waist and lifted her off her feet. She ended up gently tossed over his shoulder, a large, hot hand curving her ass to hold her in place firmly as Berrr stormed for their bedroom. She laughed, relaxing to make it easier for her warrior to carry her off to bed, loving that he was big and strong enough to do it.

The bedroom door slammed closed behind them and seconds later Berrr bent, gently dropping Shanna on the bed. He went for the front of his pants, tearing them open, his hungry gaze raking down her body.

“I enjoy quickies. Pull your dress up and show me what I want to see.”

Reaching down without hesitation, Shanna grabbed the loose dress and tore it up to her waist, spreading her thighs wide, and wiggled to get the dress to go higher, wanting to totally take it off. Berrr had other ideas as he freed his cock and leaned over the bed. He reached down to grip her inner thighs, pushing them farther apart, and then he buried his face between them. His thumbs shifted, spreading her wider, a second before his hot tongue and mouth closed over her clit.

“Fuck,” Shanna gasped.

Berrr released her clit.
“Soon.”
His mouth fastened over the sensitive bud again.

Shanna moaned loudly, clawing at the bed, as Berrr continued to manipulate her body with his tongue and lips. He was merciless as he sucked and licked at her, growling enough that vibrations were hitting her on top of all the other wonderful sensations. His hands spread her labia wider as he pressed his mouth tighter against her clit, and then did something that sent her into climax. His lower teeth rubbed against the oversensitive flesh as he used his tongue too, simultaneously.

Ecstasy tore through Shanna as she twisted under his mouth, crying out his name loudly, bucking her hips but held down firmly with his hold on her. He tore his mouth away, snarling loudly, and the bed shifted.

Shanna gasped as she was suddenly flipped over, never expecting the sudden movement, and Berrr’s arm went under her stomach, jerking her up to her knees so her ass was in the air. She was still reeling from her release when he entered her slowly, pushing his thick cock inside her in one slow, deep thrust, burying himself in her until his balls rested against her swollen clit.

“Shanna,” he rasped.

She opened her
eyes,
her face pressed to the bed, and turned her head just as Berrr started to move, withdrawing to slam back against her. She cried out again, feeling him fighting her tight pussy to take his thick cock. His arm tightened around her waist, holding her in place, while he fucked her faster.

Shanna forced her arms to move, to take her upper body weight, and lifted up. She clawed the bed with her fingers, bracing, and moved, pushing back against him as their bodies slammed together until they got a steady rhythm going. The pleasure was so intense she was almost sobbing out as Berrr shifted his angle to drive into her, hitting her G-spot just right. Shanna screamed out minutes later, coming hard again, and Berrr roared out behind her as he followed her over the threshold of pleasure-induced release. He jerked against her ass hard, spilling everything he had into her welcoming depths, flooding her.

Shanna collapsed and Berrr gently eased her down to the bed, keeping their bodies connected as he pinned her under him. His arm had moved from around her waist to beside them, both of his arms bracing most of his upper body weight from crushing her totally into the bed. They were both breathing hard. Shanna closed her eyes and smiled, loving the feeling of being trapped under Berrr.

His hot mouth grazed her shoulder with a kiss and then his tongue traced the line of her shoulder up to her neck. He tickled her by breathing in her ear. Laughing, Shanna opened her eyes and turned her head enough to meet his happy gaze.

“I am so happy you are mine, my Shanna.”

Her hand moved to grip his, her fingers curling around hand to lace them through his thicker digits. “I’m happy to be yours.”

A knock sounded at the door that caused Shanna to tense, expecting someone to barge in the bedroom to find her trapped under Berrr, their bodies still locked together intimately since he hadn’t withdrawn from her. He was still inside her, hard, throbbing the way a heartbeat would.

“They won’t come in,” Berrr chuckled. “I ordered them to never enter my room.”

He sighed then, carefully moving, to lift off her. She regretted the movement that separated their bodies. She’d felt nearly fused to Berrr and instantly missed that feeling of being one as his warm body moved off the top of hers when he completely rolled away.

She sighed, forcing herself to move, only to realize she was still in the dress even though it was bunched up around her waist. She sat up, shoving the dress down to cover herself up, and watched Berrr yanking up his pants that he’d never fully taken off. He looked grim as he marched for the door. He paused there, checking on Shanna to make sure she was covered before he opened the door, giving his full attention to the person who had interrupted them.

“I apologize, Hyvin Berrr,” a female voice said loud enough for Shanna to hear. “I heard you mounting your human and waited but I couldn’t wait any longer.”

Berrr looked irritated. “What is so important that you have to interrupt us at all?”

The woman hesitated. “You have a guest and she is being very unpleasant. She tried to come to your room but we refused to allow her to leave the main entrance. She is being very vocal and rude.”

Frowning, Berrr shook his head. “I am expecting no guests now. Who is this woman?”

“She says she is your bound, Hyvin Berrr. She claims to be Alluwn, bound to Hyvin Berrr. I have never met her, just being sent to this area from afar, and none of the other available house helpers have ever set eyes on your bound so we were unsure of her identity to verify her claim of being who she says. I hope I did right, Hyvin. If I insulted your bound I apologize.”

Shock tore through Shanna and she watched Berrr pale for a normally tan man. Shock was an understatement for the reaction on his face. His mouth even dropped open but he didn’t say a word.

“She is causing great trouble,” the woman at the door continued. “She is demanding to see you right now and she pushed Yovonl and pulled her hair when she tried to stop the woman from coming to your room. The male guards had to assist to stop her.”

Berrr snarled, looking furious as he recovered from the shock. “I’ll be right there.” He slammed the door and then turned, just standing there, looking stunned and pissed off at the same time.

Shanna met his furious gaze. “I thought she never came here.”

He snarled, showing sharp teeth. “She hasn’t been to this house since she left me.” His hands balled into fists at his side, his knuckles turning white. “Whatever reason she came for it is to cause me trouble and harm.”

Shanna didn’t know what to say. Berrr snarled again, turning toward his closet, and stormed for it. Shanna sat on his bed, not sure what to do. He yanked open the closet door and stepped out of sight. She knew he was getting clothing out as she heard him going through them.

Worry ate at her.
What if his bound wants him back?
Her heart squeezed painfully at the thought. As his wife Alluwn could probably make Berrr take her back and get rid of Shanna. Zorn laws were fucked up and Shanna didn’t even know most of them. Any law though that kept Berrr unable to remarry and have another family was definitely wrong. Berrr came out of the closet gripping new clothes. He looked even more furious as he met Shanna’s eyes.

“I am sending you to Rever immediately, Shanna. I don’t trust Alluwn and I don’t want her to see you. Get dressed quickly and I’ll take you out the back door to one of the guards who will safely escort you there now.”

She didn’t move, staring at Berrr as he tore off his pants to put on new leather ones. When he reached for his shirt he noticed that she hadn’t moved to do what he’d ordered. He frowned at her as their gazes locked.

“Hurry, Shanna. I need to get you out of here quickly.”

Pain was tearing through her, leveling her with its intensity. “Do you want her back? Is that why you’re trying to rush me out of here so she doesn’t know I exist? I thought it was over with her, Berrr. I thought we really had something between us.”

Confusion made his face wrinkle. “I don’t want her back and I don’t want her to know you exist because Alluwn is vicious. I am trying to protect you. Why are you questioning what you mean to me? You know the answer to that. Now is not the time to argue and be stubborn, my Shanna. We must rush you to safety.”

“Protect me from what? Your ex-wife knowing that you have someone in your life now?”

He growled, the frown deepening on his face. “We will talk of this later. You must go now. Trust me and do not look at me as though I have hurt you. I am protecting you from danger.”

Shanna moved then, tearing her gaze from Berrr’s.
“Fine.
Whisk me away before your wife sees me. I get it.”

She went for the closet that now held new clothing. She’d asked for pants and she’d gotten them when his new house helpers had gone shopping earlier. Pain was crushing her chest that Berrr didn’t want
his whatever
the hell she was to know about Shanna.
If he doesn’t want her back he wouldn’t give a damn.

She dressed quickly and then grabbed some spare outfits. Berrr was dressed when she stepped out of the closet with clothes over her arm. She moved for a pair of shoes that had been bought for her but Berrr headed her off, gripping her arm, and forced her toward the double doors to the patio.

She turned her head, staring up at Berrr but letting him lead her out of his bedroom. The wall from the patio was only a few feet high so it didn’t block Berrr’s view of the woods. He stepped over it easily but Shanna had to lift her leg higher, putting her off balance, but Berrr kept hold to steady her. He walked quickly around the back of the house to the first guard they came to.

“Take my human to Argis Rever’s home now.” Berrr snarled, showing teeth to the leather-clad Zorn guard. “You protect her with your life. She is precious to me, no one is to touch her, and if anything happens to Shanna I will kill you painfully.”

The guard paled but gave a sharp nod, his bright green eyes flashing with fear for an instant.
“Of course, Hyvin Berrr.
I will guard her as if she is my blood.”

Berrr released Shanna. “I will come see you tonight when my duties allow and we will talk then. I do not wish her back into my life and this is for your safety.”

Fighting tears, Shanna looked away from him to stare at the ground. “Yes sir.”

“Sir?”
He growled the word. “What does this mean?”

Her gaze lifted. “It’s an Earth acknowledgement of someone in control of them and their lives.”

His frown deepened. “I don’t understand but we will talk of all of this later. You will be safe with this guard and he will take you to Rever’s home where you will be safe under my son’s protection. I will be there as soon as I am able.”

Shanna nodded. Looking at him hurt so she shifted her attention to the guard. “Let’s go.”

The man nodded and reached for her arm.

Berrr snarled. “Never touch her. She is mine.”

The guard jerked his hand back. “I was only offering assistance.”

“She can walk on her own.”

Shanna looked at Berrr when he stared down at her. “Bye, Berrr.”

“I will see you soon.”

She nodded and turned her back on him. “Sure.”

The guard led her away. She sensed being watched but refused to look back to see if Berrr was still really there. It hurt that he’d rushed her out of his home. He was a married man and she’d forgotten that. Married men always hid their dirty little secrets and
that,
it seemed to Shanna, was exactly what she was.
