Fated Truth (The True Witch Saga) (17 page)

He squeezes me to his side.
“Ditto,” he murmured with a smirk. I laughed and slapped his chest. “I love you too, little raven.” He brushed his lips to mine.

With that we
walked out of the hospital hand in hand, got into Seb’s Lexus and drove quietly home. Each of us lost in our own thoughts.

Chapter Twelve

Bliss

When we pulled into the drive of Jaxx’s home we were in a strange mix of elation and exhaustion. Jaxx opened my door for me and helped me out of the car.

“Let’s get you inside and into a b
ath. You need to relax a little,” he acknowledged and then grinned. “Besides, I have plans for you.”

I chuckle
d, wondering just what those plans might be. We entered the house and I called out for Gavin. I hadn’t even noticed if his bike was parked out front or not. He didn’t answer, so I figured he must still be out. Thinking about his bike made me wonder about mine. “Have you heard anything from the body shop about my bike?” I asked Jaxx as I trailed behind him up the stairs. I couldn’t help but to ogle his ass. It
was
damn fine, after all. He looked back at me and smirked.
Damn I was caught,
I thought with a blush.

“They haven’t called yet
, but I will make the call in the AM,” he said, checking his watch. “Which is just in a couple of hours, damn, it has gotten late.”

I yawn
ed, reminded of the time. “Okay, I know it’s a private matter, but I have to ask. What will happen with Jessa when she wakes up? I mean, Seb
turned
her. He hasn’t claimed her yet. So she is going to freak the fuck out! And what happens when she can’t stay with her parents anymore?” I was slightly overwhelmed with worry.

“Slow down.
I’m sure Seb will answer your questions in the morning.”

We
walked into the main bath on the second floor. It had a huge sunken tub. You could fit a football team in that bitch. Thinking of taking a bath in that tub with Jaxx caused tingles to shoot up and down my entire body. Clenching my sex and giving a little shudder, I thought of how Jaxx made me feel. Talk about life changing experiences! I had never felt anything as good as what it felt like to have him inside of me, closer to me than anyone had ever been before. No matter what happened in the future, I would never give him up now. It would take a natural disaster to get me away from him, and even then I would search the destruction left behind until there was nothing there left to look for.

“Why don’t you
get something to wear after your bath while I get it ready for you?”

I nod
ded slowly and smiled at him. I left the bathroom and headed for our room to grab his robe. I ran it over my face taking in his scent.
MMMM! Fresh fallen snow,
I thought,
my most favorite scent in the world.
He had become everything to me. Most people would think it was crazy that we had become so close in such a short amount of time, but most people aren’t Trues. And they definitely weren’t us.

I strip
ped out of my two day old clothes and slipped on his robe, then headed back to the main bath. Stepping through the door, I let out a little giggle of wonder. He’d lit a few pillar candles and the enormous tub was almost overflowing with bubbles.

Closi
ng the door behind me, he slid the robe down and off my shoulders. It made a whisper of sound as it hit the floor. He walked with me to the tub, climbing in first he settled against the back, and then held out his hand for me. I stepped into the delicious water with a groan of appreciation as he gently pulled me down so I could lay with my back against his chest.

The bubbles smell
ed like him. I realized that he’d used his body wash to make me a bubble bath. Reaching an arm behind me, I wrapped my hand in his hair and yanked his lips to mine, kissing him deeply. “I wish this was how we could end every day for the rest of our lives,” I sighed completely relaxed.

He began massaging my shoulders then worked his way down my arms. He moved
hands around my chest to massage my breasts and to pinch my nipples. He licked my neck working his way up to my ear and I moaned in appreciation. Just those few movements with his hands set me off. Hell, he could stand next to me and I would be ready to jump him. My heart rate was accelerating. He kissed his way back down my neck and bit my pulse point.
Hard
.

I turn
ed around and wrapped my arms around his neck. “I want you,” I murmured, simply looking into his eyes just the way he demanded me to. My breasts were rubbing against his chest with delicious friction and I felt his member stiffen against my stomach. I leaned down to bite and nibble on his nipples like he’d taught me, like he’d done to mine.

He growled as my teeth came in
contact with his sensitive flesh. “Not just yet, little raven.” He pushed me off of him toward the front of tub. With a grin, he reached over the side of the tub for his robe. He pulled the fabric belt out of the loops. “Get on your knees and face the front of the tub. Put your hands behind your back and look at your reflection in the mirror above the vanity.”

I
did as I was told, gladly and with a smile on my face. My pussy was getting wet with him directing my actions. Across the room from the tub sat the vanity with a huge gilded mirror above it. In that position I could see him clearly moving behind me with the cloth belt.

He gripped
my wrists with one hand and started to wrap the cloth around them with the other. The loops were tight, but not enough to cut off circulation. He tested the ties by fitting his fingers underneath the cloth. “I want you to watch me while I take you. Don’t take your eyes off of the mirror. Do you understand?”

I was preoccupied with testing my restraints
, so I didn’t answer him fast enough.

He smacked
my ass with a sharp tap on my right globe. The water made the sting of his touch that much sweeter. I jumped and wiggled back toward him wanting more. He tapped the left cheek of my ass this time a little harder than before and I moaned.

“Yes,
I understand. I want you inside me. Please,” I breathed.

Jaxx reached
down and around between my legs, cupping my sex. “Do you want me here, Ella? Do you want me to fill this tight heat with my cock? Slamming into you until you scream yourself hoarse?”

I
was nodding my head and pushing my hips back into his groin as he was demanding answers from me. He slapped my ass again. Not stopping after the first strike like usual. He alternated from left to right, never hitting the same spot more than once. He rubbed the stinging away before he picked the next part of my ass to strike. I was sobbing with need. My clenching cunt was dripping down onto my thighs by that point. “I want you deep inside me,
please
. I’m begging you! It hurts, Jaxx. I need you,” I begged, looking into his icy eyes through the mirrored reflection as I pleaded for him to take me.

Before the last words left
my lips, he gripped my hips and yanked me back, fully onto his massive shaft. I was pushing back while screaming in pure pleasure. Yanking at my bonds because I wanted to reach back and touch him. He braced me with his grip so that I didn’t slam forward into the front of the tub. The water was sloshing over the sides with each punishing thrust of his hips.

“This
is going to be quick. I can already feel you tightening on me. And I have waited for you.
Wanted
you all day,” he said roughly.

T
he slamming, punishing thrusts were enough to finish me. I came around his cock milking him for all I was worth. One orgasm turned into another then another, as he continued to grind and thrust into me with all of his strength. I loved when he lost himself in me like that. This controlled man, so unrestrained with me.

“Jaxx! Jaxx! Jaxx!” I screamed
his name in a chanting cadence while staring into his eyes through the mirror.

He slammed
into me once more as his grip tightened on my hips. He was wearing a twisted snarl on his beautiful mouth. “Ella!” he growled in my ear as he emptied himself inside of me.

He slipped
out of me and I whimpered at the vacant feeling inside me. He reached for my hands and untied my wrists, throwing the belt over the side of the tub into one of the many puddles. He lifted and turned me toward him, cuddling me to his chest.

I
was still out of breath. And, as he predicted my throat was hella hoarse. We sat in the cooling water until I started to get goose bumps running along my skin.

“Let’s take a shower and warm you up
, pretty eyes.” Jaxx lifted me out of the tub and stood me in front of the vanity while he adjusted the temperature in the shower.

I turn
ed to look at the red cheeks of my ass. I smiled as I appreciated the view of his marks on me. I now knew what he meant earlier that morning. It
was
hot as hell to wear his mark. I noticed Jaxx staring at me with concern on his face.

“Was I to
o rough with you?”

“Perfection. Every time you take me
is bliss,” I said with a grin, but as a thought crossed my mind, it faded to a slight frown. “But I do have a question.”

“What?”

“How are you so good at all of this, if our kind is celibate until we find our true mate?”

Jaxx actually blushed
.

My big strong mate, p
ink in the cheeks,
I thought and couldn’t help but chuckle.

“A
re you laughing at me, little raven?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Maybe.” I
walked into his arms and allowed him to wrap me up tight.

He kissed
my forehead. “Research. Lots and lots of research. Even though we have no impulse to be with anyone else besides our destined, a void forms inside of us full of longing, the longer we walk alone.”

“Well I for one am gla
d you have an addiction to porn,” I laughed, poking him in the ribs and making him jump, to lighten the mood. It worked because he started chuckling and hugging me to him tighter.

“I love you more than moonlight, little raven.”

“And I love you, Jaxx. Forever.”

“Let’s get in
the shower before all of the hot water runs out.”

We spent
time in the shower, leisurely washing each other slowly. We enjoyed each other’s touch. Skimming slowly with fingertips and kissing lightly. When the water finally started to run cold, Jaxx led me from the stall and dried every inch of my body slowly. He dried himself quickly then wrapped the towel loosely around his waist. He lifted me in his arms and carried me down the hall to his room. Then he laid me on the cool sheets of his bed and I shivered from the feel of the cold air on my naked skin.

“Are you chilled, little raven
?”

“A bit. Why don’t you get your hunky ass in here with me?”

Jaxx chuckled and crawled into bed with me. He lifted me so that I was laying half on his chest with my head resting beneath his chin. He wrapped me tightly in his arms and I listened to his heart beat as I drifted off. Right before sleep took me, I heard Jaxx murmur a prayer of thanks.

“Thank you Goddess, for bringing her into my life.”

I dreamt that night of someone chasing me through a labyrinth of thorns. The person chasing me didn’t have a face. It was a mass of shadows hidden from my view. I ran faster and faster. So quickly that I could no longer feel the ground beneath my feet, but still they gained ground. I could feel their rancid breath on the back of my neck right before I stumbled into a bush of thorns. I thrashed and tried to fight my way out, but the thorns tightened around me holding me captive.

“Aww
, poor little bird,” the specter of my night terror taunted me. “Still held against your will in a nest of your own making.”

I hear
d their heavy footsteps on the dead leaves littering the ground. Crunch. Crunch. Crunch. Coming very close to where I was still fighting the tangles of thorns. I struggled still, even as the thorns ripped and tore at my skin. I saw the glint of a knife as it flashed toward my face. It was already dripping with old blood. I woke with a blood curdling scream.

Jaxx
was up and out of the bed in a flash searching for the source of my fear. “Ella, what in the Goddess’s name is wrong with you?” he panted from the adrenaline rush. “What is happening?”

I
was still panting out quick breaths as I answered, “Nightmare. Just a bad dream. Come back to bed. I feel safer with your arms wrapped tightly around me.”

Jaxx quickly complied, w
rapping me tight as was his nightly ritual. “Do you want to talk about it?”

“No. I don’t remember.
Just the feeling of being trapped. It must have something to do with living with my adoptive parents.” I shuddered as the lie slipped past my lips. I lay still and breathed deeply as I stared at the ceiling, waiting for Jaxx to return to his slumber. The dream had really fucked with my head. I didn’t know enough about this new world or my gifts to know if it was just a regular run of the mill nightmare, or if it was some sort of premonition. For now I wanted to keep it to myself. I didn’t want to worry Jaxx over childish things if it was just a night terror. It took a long time before I felt relaxed enough to close my eyes again. I fell slowly into darkness, praying that I wouldn’t dream again that night.
