Meridian Warriors: Xander and Des (12 page)

“That is so amazing, but no ceremony?” Alex
said.

“No, we have a party afterward, always thrown
by the Queen, which will be you,” Des teased.

Alex sat in silence and looked at the men.
She had felt the pull grow stronger and stronger over the last few
days. She had also talked with her friends about her feelings. She
loved them, she didn’t know how it could happen so fast, or affect
her so much, but she did. It was nothing like she had ever felt
before; Alex was not ready to tell them that though.

“We know that this is all a lot to take in.
Living underwater with us, although we do go up to the surface
sometimes, we can’t right now, because we have to wait and see what
the threat is, but soon we can go. Xander and I have talked, we
would not like it, but we would let you go if that is truly what
you wanted. We have lived all these years without our female mate.
And we will not force you to mate with us if that is what you
choose,” Des said smoothly.

Alex looked at them wondering for the first
time if they actually wanted her to mate with them, maybe like
everyone else in her life they didn’t really want her, or felt like
she was an obligation or something.
Shit, she was not going to
stand for that, they fucking handed her the world and then dared to
snatch it back. Fuck them, she was not going to go down that
path.

“Let’s see how you transform,” Alex said
shortly, ending the conversation.

Xander shook his head and stood, “Come on
then if you want to see us. You have to come out into the water
with us.”

Alex frowned and nodded, she knew that and
had worn her only pretty bra and panties, the rest of the time Alex
and her friends wore men’s boxers and used ace bandages to hold
themselves for support. One of the most important things they had
to do was get her things. She was not wearing boxers for the rest
of her life.

Stripping her clothes, she followed. Alex was
a little self-conscious but over the last few weeks, being in the
buff half the time with only a hospital gown to wear that flashed
everyone her ass, this was nothing. Although the shiver of
awareness from being so close to them when they stripped their
clothes was enough to drive her nuts.

Shit, they were magnificent
, their
muscles were taunt, and bulging all in the right spots, when they
began to take their pants off her breath came in short pants and
she watched their gorgeous firm asses appear, she wanted to beg
them to turn around. However, she didn’t need to, they turned and
smiled, standing proudly before her, and
holy shit, they had a
reason to be proud
.
They were hung like fucking horses.
Damn, the fairy cock mother’s wand tapped them when they were
born,
she giggled to herself.

“Ready, sweetheart?” Xander said and stepped
into the water a little, Alex nodded and followed, loving the warm
water in the lake, and she was surprised thinking it would be cold.
She felt a weird tingling and wondered if they added something to
the water for them.

The men walked ahead of her until they were
waist deep and turned to her. “So we can hold off the shift when we
enter the water, but we feel the pull. It is like a lightning bolt
goes up our legs. Then we feel the webbing begin and our legs being
to mold together into our tail,” Xander said, then stepped
backward, held up his arms, and closed his eyes. Alex felt the
shimmer of the lake as the power flowed through him and she was
drawn to them. Almost as if in a trance, she walked forward.

Des was watching her grinning, he knew that
her Meridian blood would be calling, and he stepped backward and
allowed the change to flow through him. He saw Xander’s tail flip
in the water and grinned, soon they were swimming together in a
circle waiting to show Alex their shifter half. Then they heard her
cry, it was frightening and the Warrior blood grew, their woman was
in trouble.

“Holy crap,” Des muttered when he broke the
water surface, Alex was lying on her side in the shallow end of the
lake, her legs had sprouted into a tail, just like theirs with the
same golden color, and red fin tips, and she was screaming.

Xander pushed up and shifted back quickly, he
moved swiftly with Des right behind him to where their mate was
laying and crying.

“What the hell is going on?” Alex cried at
both of them.

“I have no idea, we are going to have to talk
to Sage, let’s get you back,” Xander said worriedly then Alex held
up her hand, and moved her tail a little.

“Do you see this, I have a tail? Oh my god, I
have a tail!” Alex laughed.

Both of the men frowned, first she was
screaming, then crying, now laughing, they were never going to get
used to the female mind.

“Honey, we are going to have to help you
shift back so we can get you to the doc,” Des said and Alex shook
her head.

“Please, can’t we just see what happens. We
can deal with all of this later, this is freaking amazing,” Alex
laughed and flipped her tail. “It is like I am complete all of the
sudden.”

Xander looked hesitant but then nodded, “A
short time.”

Together the men carried her into the deeper
part of the lake and helped her figure out how to swim, once she
went underwater once, she grew the gills on the side of her neck,
which caused her to freak out again. However, soon she was swimming
freely and laughing, the men shook their heads at her exclamations
of happiness.

Finally the men shifted back, and they were
swimming together. Xander did not think he could have felt such a
sense of peace more than right that minute with his mates in the
water beside him. Des must have felt the same way because Des
rubbed up against him and Xander smiled and kissed him quickly.
Alex stunned them by swimming around them teasingly.

Alex made it less than five feet before a
hard grip latched on to her wrist. Xander tried to drag her back to
the surface, but Alex rolled and twirled, snapping free of his hold
and escaping the second hand that came to capture her.

For the next ten minutes, they warred
silently as she tried to make it to the edge and they successfully
kept her locked in the pond. Xander and Des didn’t make any bones
about how much they enjoyed playing with her, egging her on with
all sorts of taunts every time she popped up for air.

They could have ended the game whenever they
wanted, but instead, they used it to take every advantage to put
their hands all over her body. Alex would never have given them the
satisfaction of admitting it, but she enjoyed playing with them. It
kindled some magical warmth that filled her with a strange
cheeriness.

She could have giggled, but Alex wanted to
look sultry—not like a schoolgirl. Worse, she could have moaned
under the sizzling nervousness that sparkled through her, leaving a
wicked trail of anticipation in its path. As the moments ticked by,
the men became even more aggressive. But she surprised them all as
became more daring, swimming between them with her tail rubbing
against them. She could feel the natural movement between them,
each coming to terms with their mating.

Their touches roughened and their fingers
lingered over her body, making Alex’s breaths start to catch in
little gasps as anticipation started to wind through her. She
hesitated, trying to be caught and not working so hard to get to
the edge, wishing they’d take things a little more seriously. They
were teasing her, and it was driving her crazy.

Latching on to her waist, Xander dragged her
to the shallow end. Letting the change come over them, she felt the
tingle and then Alex gasped as her legs began to split.
Amazing
. Then Des shot straight up, his fingers releasing
Alex’s body but not her hand as he pulled her up with him. The
world whirled around her in a chaotic swirl of water and men. For a
moment, she found herself trapped between two large bodies and was
thankful for the support since she was unsteady on her feet.

Alex smiled and laughed freely as she felt
them tug and pull her until they were right where they began, on
the large blanket that they ate on. She must have been too caught
up in the change to notice that someone had cleared the blanket for
them.

“Sorry, baby.” Xander trailed a finger down
her stomach and she sucked in a breath. “I think I may have rushed
things a little, but damn your tail is a sight to be seen, I have
never seen anyone as beautiful as you when changed, you are like
our own little mermaid.”

Alex didn’t get a chance to respond. Mouth
open with a comeback at the ready, but instead she almost ended up
panting when Des began to kiss down her length, the whole time
touching and feeling every inch of her as she allowed them to
explore and let herself just feel. Xander’s hands were every bit as
quick, he cupped her breast, bent his head, and suckling on her
straining nipple like it was his lifeline.

She mused as she thought about their change
as they touched her, they were magnificent, and by the way they
played hide and seek, maybe a little bit of the Loch Ness monster.
Twining his arms around her waist, Xander pressed her other breast
into his waiting mouth, sending bolts of molten pleasure rocking
down toward her pussy as his lips closed over her lonely
nipple.

Oxygen deprived, her lungs expelled what
little air she had left under the sudden shock, as her lips parted
on a scream. The sudden sound cracked through the silent afternoon,
a bold testament to the relentless assault Xander waged against her
breast. Held captive by his teeth, her little bud was helpless
against the velvety tease of Xander’s swirling tongue.

Suspended by his strength, her body melted
under the sweetened sap of ecstasy as it began to roll down her
spine. It paralyzed reason even as it ignited primitive urges that
had her pushing her hips up to Des and grinding her aching mound
against his waiting tongue. His lips caught between her moist
crevice and his tongue ran over her clit, sending a shower of
sparkling pleasure that blossomed into an ache as it echoed through
her body.

Too many emotions…
She arched back
hard as she desperately tried to intensify the sensation. The
heated satin of skin stretched tight over hard muscles replaced the
cool air at her back. Xander pressed into her, his hand covering
the swollen globe of her untended breast.

“Oh, God,” Alex moaned at the extraordinary
sensation of being tended to by two men, their hands and mouths
feasting on her vulnerable body. She was relishing in the feeling
as if they were branding her, putting their mark on her as they
kissed her and loved her.

Xander bit down on the sensitive stretch of
skin between her neck and shoulders, making her moan anew as her
head rolled to the side, exposing more of her flesh for him to
taste. He took immediate advantage, nibbling right up her neck to
cross her jaw. One hard hand in her hair forced her head to turn to
meet his kiss.

Alex didn’t dare resist the aggressive
invasion of his tongue. Just as his finger rolled and pulled her
nipple, Xander shocked her with his rough, demanding passion. The
pleasure overwhelmed her as he stroked his tongue across hers and
began to conquer every sweet recess of her mouth.

Over and over again he toyed, lashed, and
stroked as he claimed dominance over her. Alex whimpered, excited
by his mercilessness. Reveling in her vulnerability, she turned as
much as Xander’s hold would allow so that she could wrap her arms
around Xander’s head and hold him trapped against her lips.

He growled and nipped at her bottom lip in
response as his right hand slid straight down her side to curve
over her hip. She could feel his impatience as he struggled with
maintaining control as his Meridian side ached to claim his mate.
His attention made her growl, and this time she bit down on the
tender flesh of his lip.

Xander responded instantly, kissing her with
an abandoned passion that would have stolen her breath if she had
any. These two men were dangerously sexy. She could feel the
tingling in her body the way they had explained it to her. She
could feel the bonding they talked about starting. Her men said it
would be a strong mating, and the sooner they exchanged fluids, and
then said the traditional words of their mating, they would be
bound to one another forever.

Des took that moment, sucked her clit into
his mouth, and pushed two fingers into her.
Shit, it felt
amazing
. Xander began to pinch her nipples at the same time and
they found a rhythm, she had no clue how they did it, her thoughts
were jumbled and she didn’t know whether she was coming or
going.

Alex wrenched her mouth free as she screamed
out under the lightning bolt of passion that shot straight out of
her body to scorch over every nerve ending in her spine. Des did it
again, pressing down and rolling her clit, he lit her up as her
whole body jerked under the impact. Alex could feel the heated
cream seeping from her body as she began to ache under a need so
intense her body trembled under the force.
Damn it, what were
they doing to her?

She didn’t even notice Xander’s mouth dancing
down her stomach as Des pulled her slowly upward. Only when Des’s
mouth lifted did her eyes pop open in startled distress.
Instinctively, her body curled to turn and face the source of her
sudden disappointment, but Xander’s hands clamped down on her naked
thighs.

The heated feel of his flesh on hers had her
eyes darting right down the length of her body, now stretched out
on the blanket with Xander lodged right between her legs. Their
gazes locked, and she could see the wicked smugness glinting in his
eyes. Echoed by the curve of his lips, there could be no doubt of
his intent.

Her heart began to pound as his hands
shifted, drawing her focus to them as they slid slowly up toward
her mound. Blunt, rough fingers curled around the swollen folds of
her pussy and parted them. Alex went perfectly still as she stared
in excited fascination as Xander’s tongue snaked out and slowly
lowered down.
