Dianthe Rising (13 page)

Robin smirked at me. “It wouldn’t be the same, Dianthe. Loving your mates and random sex is as different as the moon and sun. One is just a shadow of the other.”

Robin grasped my neck and pulled me into him, attacking my lips in a fierce kiss reminiscent of the earlier one shared with Daniel. His movements sped up and changed tempo, soon he was pounding into me so I hard I felt I might shatter.

A wave of heat rose up over me and lights danced around us in ribbons of color as Robin left my lips and buried his face in my neck. The last sensations I remembered were of a sharp sting at my throat, and the world exploded into a million pieces, as I finally broke.

What seemed like hours passed but it must have only been minutes. Robin shifted and lifted me upwards. The tender tissue of my cunny began stretching beyond what it had previously been. A deep aching burn filled me and I opened my eyes to see Robin lowering me onto Daniel’s massive pole.

“Shhhh…” he whispered, that twinkle back in his eye. “It would hardly be fair to leave Danny boy hanging, now would it?”

Moaning incoherently as he met my downward motion, Daniel finally reached the end of me.

"Oh God,” I cried. I honestly have no idea how I took it all.

Robin kissed me sweetly as he set a rocking motion with his hands upon my thighs. Daniel's hips were rising up into the thrusts beneath me sending him deeper.

“That’s it, Dianthe. Feel him so deep in you, isn’t it wonderful?” Robin quipped while nipping my lip. "Does it make you hot? Knowing I helped you mount him, even now guiding your motions?”

Reaching down with one hand between us, he took Daniels sack and began rolling his balls in a tender grip. Daniel groaned loudly, stilling before pounding into me faster. I didn't comprehend where it came from but another orgasm rushed through me as Daniel’s last thrust slammed into me.

I heard his ragged breathing as I slumped in utter exhaustion between the two of them. My eyes closed and I let sleep wash over me.

*****

There was a furnace at my back and I was oh, so cozy. I was seriously considering hibernation. The appeal of snuggling in for several weeks at a time was really growing on me. Unfortunately, the phone decided to choose that moment to ring. I reached out over the bed without opening my eyes, managing to grab numerous bits of male flesh on the way. It accompanied several grunts and a giggle from me.

Blindly grabbing the offending phone, I fell back into my warm spot and threw an arm over my face before answering. “Hello?”

“Why aren’t you here yet?” Annie’s voice spoke imperiously down the line.

Ouch, who peed in her cheerios' this morning.

“Umm, where am I supposed to be?” I gingerly asked her.

“Dia, why are you answering Danny’s phone?"

Crud
, I thought before Annie let loose with an almighty scream. “Dianthe Marie Mclearey, you tart you. Oh my God, are you in bed with my cousin?!”

Mouth gaping, I lifted my arm and looked over at the two men now propped up on elbows wearing shit eating grins. Obviously, they listened to every word as loud as Annie was now.

“Ummm, would you believe me if I said no?”

“Oh,” she says sarcastically. “Did Danny accidently leave his phone at your flat last night and that’s why I can’t get a hold of him? Obviously, Dianthe.” She raised her voice louder so I had to pull the phone from my ear. “Is he looking for said phone and that’s the reason why he isn’t at Aunt Mary’s house right now?” With a glance over at said person, I saw the grin slide from his face as he swore aloud.

“Shit, I forgot about mum.”

“Ahah, I knew it. OMG, you have to give me all the details. I can’t believe…”

The phone was out of my hands and attached to Daniel’s ear. “Annie, there will be no detail giving. And I swear to God, if you pester Dia for details I will retaliate. Remember, I know where you keep your bags and shoes.”

I heard the gasp from the other end of the line. “You wouldn’t dare.”

“Try me, Raggedy,” he replied stonily.

Wow, was it me or was anyone else getting all hot and bothered by his authoritarian behavior.

I looked at Robin and the smoldering contemplation in his eyes caused me to gulp.
Nope, not just me then
.

Leisurely, Robin reached out a hand and ran it casually down Daniel’s flank. A shiver ran through him and passed on to me.
Who would think two men touching would be so sexy?

My attention drew back to Daniel when he sighed deeply.

“Alright, Annie, let mum know I’ll be there in about an hour. I need to run by my place for a change of clothes first.”

He nodded absently while he listened to Annie on the phone. “Yeah, I know…” His eyes rolled and he looked at me with the expression of a man well used to women harassing him. “Uh uh…okay…yeah… Yes, Annie, I get it. Right, I have to go or I will not make it in time. Yeah, and Annie…keep this to yourself. It’s not fair on Dia, to run your mouth to the whole family. When we are ready, we will tell people ourselves. Got me?” He went silent for a moment before nodding his head absently. “Yeah, but only for a minute, I’ve got to hurry," he finished, looking to me and holding out the phone. "She wants to talk to you for a second while I get dressed.”

With dread of the upcoming conversation, I took the phone. A much more subdued Annie was still talking a mile a minute when I said hello.

“I’m sorry, Dia, for jumping on you like that. I realize it’s not my business. He is going to give me almighty hell when he gets me alone but I deserve it.”

I didn’t think I had ever heard Annie sound so contrite.

“Anyway, I’m happy for you. And oh my God, I’m so proud of you.”

Ahh there’s my Annie shining through.

“You guys are right, no details. Ewwww, I remembered the genetic connection. I still want the dish on the vanilla details.” Laughing, she continued, “You have to tell me all about your date and where he took you, etcetera.”

I laughed with her before replying, "I can do that, Annie girl, Daniel's back so I’m going to go. He wants his phone before he leaves.”

“Yup, his mum will kill him if he’s not here soon,” she chirped. “Love you, will talk later.”

With that, I hung up and looked at Daniel. “Can I ask why your life is hanging in the balance?”

Rubbing the back of his neck, he leaned down to kiss me and mumbled, “My nephew’s first Holy Communion is this afternoon. It starts in about two hours.”

Eyes widening, I gasped out, “Oh dear Lord, leave. They will never forgive you if you ruin that.”

Nodding with agreement, he pulled on his boots. “Yeah, he missed the Easter one. They postponed it because he was sick and they got special dispensation to hold it later.”

I jumped from the bed naked and ushered him to the door. “Quick, give me a kiss and be gone. Call me when you’re done.”

Stopping and looking down at me earnestly, he cupped my face with both hands. “I’m so sorry, baby, for leaving you like this and I wish I were able to stay.”

“Daniel,” I tried to smile around my squished up lips. “I’m Catholic, remember? I understand.”

Joy filled his eyes and he reached down and gently touched his lips to mine. I closed my eyes and savored the moment before he pulled back.

“You are more than perfect, Dia. When I get back we have to talk.”

“You have to leave first, Goliath.”

I opened the door, standing behind it in case any neighbors were about and shooed him out. Once he was gone, I leaned back against the door with my eyes closed for a moment. It was a second before they popped right back open.

Robin... I had forgotten I had a Faery in my bed.

Chapter Twelve

I took a deep breath and looked across the room to my bed. The joy of a studio flat is that everything bar the bathroom is in one room. Robin lay in all his naked Fae glory across the bed. I couldn’t help but take a moment to absorb some of his impossible perfection. He lay negligently across the covers as I studied him. His gaze casually roamed over my body in a lascivious manner. He looked like he was picking out what part he liked best. With a wave to his own form, he called out drolly.

“This is the time where some would say take a picture it would last longer, but as I’m vain, feel free to observe all you want.”

His voice startled me and I looked up at his face once more. I walked over and sat beside him on the edge. We were completely disregarding the fact we were unashamedly nude. With easy negligence, he reached his arm out and grabbed me around the waist. Robin pulled me down next to him, laying my head upon his shoulder. He even took the time to cover us both with the duvet before settling us deeper into the bed.

“Ahh,” he said. “This is more like it.” He looked at me as he took one long elegant finger and pushed back a strand of my hair. “How rare it is for one such as me, to be able to be with you like this. Yet, humans have the opportunity every day, yet squander the gift. It’s fucking criminal.”

At first, I wondered about his meaning and then it dawned on me. The cuddling, just being together in one another’s arms.

“Really?” I asked. “You honestly don’t have the opportunity to be held?”

“Like this? Never,” he shook his head. “I have no loving parents, no sibling or friends who would want to hold me. There were countless nights of meaningless sex, but what is that? Faceless human women and men, who only see my glamour but never me.”

“What about other Fae?” I whispered.

Bitter laughter rose from his lips. “They all quiver in fear and would not come near me even if commanded by Oberon himself.”

I reached up to touch his face with my palm, caressing his beautiful visage. My finger ran from his forehead over his wickedly arching eyebrow, down his cheek and over his tempting lips.

“Why do they fear you? I see a beautiful man who is full of laughter and mischief. If you are anything like your legend you are a trickster but hardly evil. You are so right for me and I can’t imagine you ever wanting to harm me.”

A quick motion and I found myself flipped over onto my back and he was suddenly in my face. Nose to nose, his eyes lit with fire.

“Never, do you understand. Never, will I harm you. I physically cannot. You are a part of me now. You are mine and I am yours. Last night was not sex. We bonded, tying us together for eternity now. Think of it as a marriage, just infinitely more and with no concept of divorce. Do not take me lightly, Dianthe. I am hardly noble or good. I deserve my reputation and then some. I am not kind. I’m selfish and heartless. You however, are a part of me and I will always put you first. Just don’t be surprised when I do not share your morals, my love.”

Looking into those mercurial eyes of his, I saw all those years of loneliness and sorrow he kept hidden from the world. Even though I had known him for only a short while, my heart broke a little at his pain. I tried to put all of my feelings and emotions into the stare I gave him, my hand rose to cup his cheek in my palm.

“I don’t think you’re heartless, Robin. It is just no one has ever taught you to love. You have to receive it before you can give it back.”

“Do you love me, Dianthe? Do I have your heart,” he mocked.

I shook my head and told him the truth. “I don’t love you, Robin.”

Taken aback, he started to withdraw from me but I tightened my grip on him and wrapped my other hand around his neck holding him still.

“Stop, and listen to me before you freak out,” I exclaimed. “I can’t love you, Robin, I don’t know you. We only met on Friday. It has only been two days. You can’t love someone in that time. I do like you a great deal and obviously we have a lot of chemistry.” With a frown marring my brow, I asked him warily, "It's not the glamour is it?”

Shaking his head he replied, “No, the glamour was gone before we woke this morning. This is all us.”

With a wide smile, I looked up at him. “Good. I prefer knowing that it’s you I’m wild for and not some crazy magic.” Once again becoming serious, I continued, “Can you understand that, Robin? I need more time to fall in love than one wild night of outstanding sex.”

“Yes, it was exceptional wasn’t it?” he preened. “Want a repeat performance?”

My head shook no, and I ignored the comment. “I need to know you. The real you and let these feelings that I have for you grow.” Nodding, he leaned into my lips.

“Yes, I can understand that. But I will be doing everything in my power to convince you of it sooner rather than later.” With that, his hand slid down my body and cupped me between my legs. "Starting right now," he growled as he began licking at my lips, encouraging me to open to his demands.

I inhaled as he worked a finger into me. Robin took advantage of the small gasp to slip his tongue between my parted lips. It was almost like a duel. We fought a battle of dominance with our mouths as he stroked my quim with his talented fingers. Knowing I didn’t have a chance, I gave up the fight and let him control our kiss.

He finally broke away and worked his way down my throat, kissing and nipping as he went. He never once slowed his relentless teasing of my body. The man had countless years of experience and I was his very eager pupil.

“That’s it, sweetness. Show me how much this wonderful body loves my touch.”

I moaned and writhed for him.

“Tell me, Dianthe. I want to hear the words. Do you love the way I strum your clit like a fine instrument?”

“Mmmm," I moaned.

Pinching said clit between his thumb and forefinger, he rolled it savagely. “Not good enough, once more, do you love the way I touch you?”

“Oh God,” I cried out. He shook his head, looked at me with false pity in his eyes, and scolded me.

“Dianthe, Dianthe, Dianthe…it seems you must be taught to answer properly.”

“Wha…” I managed to get out before he leaned down to my breast. A strangled scream tore from my throat as he bit down on my left nipple. Burning pain shot though it and bloomed where his teeth worried at the puckered tip. He released it to suckle the pain away.

There was so much going on I could not concentrate on one part of my body. He raised his hand from my hip and began twisting and pinching the right nipple as he laved the left. At the same time, he would pinch my nubbin before sliding his fingers up deep inside me. He scooped up the overflowing cream and rubbed it into my clit before repeating the process. My body tightened on the cusp of exploding when he abruptly pulled away from me.
