Darque Wants (41 page)

              “Yes, but you're late,” Iris said as Kat got close enough to reach her. Iris's hand flew like lightning, and the crack it made, when it landed on Kat's ass, resonated in the open air.

              “Shit!” Kat squealed as she jumped, and both hands went to her ass to rub at the burning sensation. “That hurt!”

              “Don't think that gets you off the hook, either, Little One,” Iris said as she watched with pride as Kat stepped around gingerly as she rubbed her butt. “Now where have you been?” Kat looked back at Iris nervously. She didn't want to lie to her. But she wasn't sure exactly what to tell her. Iris instantly noticed the hesitation and her body stiffened, her hands went to her hips and she glared at Kat. “Where have you been?” She asked again in a deep tone that seemed to rumble through Kat's chest like a firm swat.

              “OK, but you have to promise not to be mad,” Kat said, instantly breaking under  Iris's firm gaze.

              “Tell me, now,” was all Iris said. Kat lowered her eyes and started explaining how she had run into Anna on the bike path. She told her everything about the encounter, afraid to leave out any detail. By the time she had finished the story, Kat was in tears. She was afraid. She was confessing to having spent the morning with a Guardian and wondered what the outcome would be. She couldn't leave this place, these people. It was her home.

              “Come here,” Iris said, as she took hold of Kat and pulled her into her arms. “It's OK, Little One. I understand. It's going to be ok.” She held Kat as she trembled and sobbed. “What's wrong, Little One? Why are you so upset?”

              “I don't want you to kick me out,” Kat said as she huddled up against Iris.

              “Kick you out?” Iris pushed Kat back and looked at her with confusion. “What do you mean, kick you out?”

              “I'm sorry. I just don't want you to send me away,” Kat mumbled as she choked on her tears.

              “Now you listen to me,” Iris said taking a firm hold of Kat by both shoulders and leaning down over her face. “You are my wife. That is how it is, and it cannot be changed. I will never send you away. Do you understand me?” Iris emphasized the question by giving Kat a shake. Kat simply fell back into her arms and cried.

              “Now calm down,” Iris said. “Then we must go talk to the Queen.”

              “What?” Kat drew back in fear as she looked at Iris. “Why do we have to talk to her?”

              “You spoke with a Guardian. We do not keep secrets,” Iris said. “I understand why you did, but we must share this information with the Queen.”

              “But Anna's my friend. I don't want to get her in trouble,” Kat said still unsure of where this was all going.”

              “I respect your friendship, but you have obligations to your family as well,” Iris said reaching out her hand. “Say what you choose to the Queen, but it's better she hear it from you than from anyone else.” She shook her hand slightly waiting for Kat to take hold. Finally, Kat reached out and took it. Iris squeezed her hand slightly and then guided her back inside.

              Kat stood before the Queen and told her about her encounter with Anna in the woods. The Queen sat silently and listened as Kat told her every detail. Iris stood beside her still holding her hand and giving it little loving squeezes when Kat's voice would begin to break. When she had finished recounting the meeting, she stood silently before the Queen. For a few moment they were all silent. Then the Queen spoke.

              “Are you sure your friend's mother's name is Meredith?” The Queen asked as she looked at Kat carefully.

              “Yes, My Lady,” Kat said quietly.

              “And Meredith has come home to the Keep, has she?” The Queen rose from her chair and walked to stand before Kat. She slipped her hand under Kat's chin and tilted her face upward. “You have good taste in friends, but for now I have to ask that you stay closer to home.” The Queen could see the look of worry on Kat's pale face, but there was something else. She held Kat's chin and tilted her face to one side and then the other examining her features closer than she had bothered to before. As she did, a chill came over her. The blood rushed from the Queen's face, and she drew her hand back as if the touch had been painful. She turned back towards her chair and said over her shoulder, “Stay close to home child. Now go. I have things to attend to.” Kat looked to Iris for guidance. They had both noticed the Queen's reaction to the name as well as to the close inspection of Kat herself. Iris gestured with her head in the direction of the door and let go of Kat's hand. Kat moved, nodded a silent yes, and turned to leave.

              “And Child,” The Queen spoke again. “No matter what may come in life, this will always be your home. Do not forget that.”

              “Yes, My Lady,” Kat said with a slight bow and then left the room. Iris had her eye on Fiona and when the room was empty, finally, she approached her chair.

              “I know you well enough, Mother,” Iris said. “What is it you know?”

              “Secrets, my child,” the Queen said. “It's the right of a Queen as well as a mother to have her secrets.” She turned and brushed a wild lock of Iris's hair from her face and smiled. “But hear me. You keep her close from now on. I mean it.”

              Iris kept her eyes on Fiona, but she knew full well when her mother would and would not speak more on a subject. After a moment, Iris nodded. “Yes, My Lady,” she said and left the Queen alone with her secrets. As she left the room, she found Kat standing in the hall. Her hands were clasped tightly together, and her head was bowed as she waited. Iris's heart was heavy to see her dejected and concerned.

              “Come on now, Little One,” Iris said as she reached and took Kat's hands. “Someone is due a spanking.” Kat looked up into Iris's eye to see her smiling back at her.

              “Yes, Ma'am,” Kat said as she happily followed her lover's lead towards their room.

Dark Protector:

Legacy of the Goddess

Book 5

Morgana Patrick

              Kat's body was bent over the edge of her bed. Her bare ass was pushed high in the air, and she stood on the floor with her legs spread wide. Her skin glowed with light that seemed to surge around her. The light burst out brightly each time the sound of Iris's hand crashing into Kat's skin echoed off the walls. Sweat dripped down her straining legs as she held her pose with pride, offering her delicate, pale ass to Iris.

              “That's a good girl,” Iris said as she rubbed the red skin of her lover's backside with her long delicate fingers. “Such a good girl. Yet, you made me worry today when you were late, didn't you?” The loud crack of a swift slap filled the room.

              “Oh God,” Kat cried out as her body instinctively jerked under the pressure of Iris's hand. “I'm sorry, ma'am. I didn't mean to make you worry,” she gasped. She quickly regained control and pushed her body back towards Iris. Kat's nipples ached and throbbed as they rubbed against the blanket beneath her. With her legs spread like this, she felt exposed. She could feel the air flowing over her wet lips, and the heat Iris left on her skin after each swat made her shiver.

              “Then next time be on time, Little One,” Iris said and followed the instruction with a flurry of swats alternating from one cheek to the next and back again. Kat's back arched as she lifted her head from the bed and cried out in a desperate moan. Behind her, Iris could see the thick trickle run down Kat's thigh that proved her little pet was ready for a more intense treatment. Iris quickly took advantage of the moment and reached out, grabbing a fist full of Kat's hair with a sudden yank as her long fingers drove deep inside the girl from behind.

              “Oh fuck, yes!” Kat screamed as she felt her body spread open swiftly and take in Iris's invading fingertips. She felt them push hard and swiftly into her burning depths as Iris pounded in a relentless rhythm. Kat's body shook as she felt her muscles convulse. Her nipples pushed up into the air as her back bent back under Iris's control. Her body was not her own. It was Iris's to toy with as she saw fit. Every time Kat started to push her ass back to meet the thrusting fingers, Iris would withdraw them.

              “Oh no you don't, Little One,” she cooed. “You get it when I say. Understand me, Pet?” Then her fingers jolted back into her lovers yearning emptiness.

              “Yes, yes Ma'am. Whatever you want,” Kat called out in utter submission. She knew full well she was lost to Iris and had been from the first moment they met. Iris tugged her hair sharply and drew Kat's body up off the bed until she fell back against Iris's chest. Kat felt the girl's nipples cutting into her back and the soft flesh of her breasts sinking between her shoulder blades.

              “What I want,” Iris hissed deeply into Kat's ear as she held her tightly. “What I want is what you promised, Little One.” She pushed on Kat's shoulder firmly and drove the girl to her knees. Standing over her, she reached down and grabbed Kat's breasts from behind. Her hands gripping the tender mass tightly as her thumb and fingers found their mark. Kat screamed as she felt Iris tighten down on her nipples. “You do keep your promises. Don't you, Little One? Or is this going to be like when you said you'd be home on time?”

              “I will keep it,” Kat gasped out, desperately trying to please. “I will. I will!” Kat's body shuddered uncontrollably as Iris released her pulsing nipples.

              “Good girl,” Iris said and she stepped around in front of Kat. She sat down on the edge of the bed and spread her long legs wide right before Kat's eyes. Kat looked at her with such hunger that she had to lick her lips as her mouth watered. Iris reached out and took a quick hold of Kat's hair again and with a swift motion drew the girl in exactly where she wanted her. “Show me what a good girl you can be,” Iris commanded as she felt Kat's mouth sink around her. Iris felt Kat's answer more than she heard it as the vibrations of her muttered agreement flowed into Iris's clit sending shivers up her spin. “God! Good girl,” she moaned as she laid back on the bed and pushed her hips towards Kat's busy lips.

              As her tongue lapped at Iris's flowing juices, Kat dove into the woman before her. Her fingers slid in and out of her wife's body as her lips locked onto her clit and drew it into her mouth. Iris moved her pelvis up and down under Kat's frantic assault as she laid back with her hands tightly gripping Kat's long, beautiful hair. Iris's knuckles were white as she pulled on Kat's hair drawing her mouth even tighter to her body as she began to scream.

              “Fuck yes, Little One,” she called out without any concern for who in the house or in the state, for that matter, might hear. “Make me cum, Little One. Yes!” Hearing the passion in Iris's voice, Kat went into overdrive. Her fingers slamming against Iris's lips as they drove deep into her body, her mouth drawing down hard on the sensitive nub of flesh between her lips. “Yes!” Iris screamed again as a series of loud grunts flew from her mouth followed by a single long cry. Kat looked up and watched as Iris jerked and tossed her head back and forth.

“Am I a good girl again?” she asked, and her fingers still slowly moved in Iris's wet and pulsing flesh. “Am I your good girl?”

              “Fuck, Baby. Yes, yes you are,” Iris said as she laid there, unable to sit up, her breath ragged as she recovered from the orgasm that had shattered her so completely. “You're a fucking great girl, and you are always mine.” Kat smiled and laid her head on the inside of Iris's thigh, her cheek soaking in the warmth and intimacy of the touch as her lips gently kissed Iris's smooth skin.

              “Thank you, Ma'am,” Kat said with a little giggle and she sat there, kneeling on the floor between her beautiful wife's legs.
