contorted immensely at the seemingly never-ending orgasm. His tongue eagerly gathered her
essence, and her high-pitched cries broke the silence. She continued to ride the strong waves of pleasure her man invoked within her.
Slowly, he crawled up her body, spreading her legs apart with his knee. His hair fell over
them both like a veil as he pressed his aching rod against her wet, satiny flesh.
He pressed the thick swollen head against Rose’s slick opening, causing her to arch her back
with need. She ran her nails lightly along his back, down to his tight buttocks. They held one
another’s gaze, feeling the sheer electricity coursing between them
Storm slowly pushed inside Rose until he filled her. With a shudder, her eager hands pushed
against his ass, and she raised her hips to meet his demanding thrusts. Raising her thighs in the air, she brought them around his body, sensually brushing her legs against his hot flesh. Her
muscles gripped his cock with every thrust. “Harder!” she demanded.
Storm’s thrusts quickened and Rose shrieked as her lover panted against the curve of her
neck. A hot river of excitement gathered within and her insides began to clench with the need for release.
His punishing strokes were deep and demanding, sending them both over the edge. Lights
danced before her eyes as she rode each wave of pleasure. The harnessed power seemed never-
ending for both.
Mesmerized by his loving gaze, she released a guttural cry, along with Storm’s. Spiraling
like a brilliant white light from Heaven, the two remained entwined together as they floated to earth, their world turned upside down by the glorious experience.
Kissing him, Rose enjoyed the taste of herself on his tongue and lips. The couple savored the
moment, gazing into one another’s eyes. They never spoke to each other after their passionate
lovemaking. There was no need. They communicated strictly on a psychic level, becoming lost
within one another’s gaze. The love they shared was infinite.
Epilogue
Queensville, a few days later
“W
here the hell is it?” Veruca McQueen’s shout resonated through the forest when she
couldn’t sense the portal to Raven’s Falls.
“Dammit!”
“Settle down woman,” Elios told her as he perched himself on a large boulder next to the
waterfall. “Patience never was your strongpoint. Take your time and sense it.”
Tightening her fists, she narrowed her blazing brown eyes at the demon. “Perhaps if you’d
get off your ass and help me out a little, things will go our way. I knew she was powerful, only I didn’t know just how strong she’s become in such a short period of time.”
“I’m not the one with McQueen blood coursing through my veins. What kind of sorceress
are you, anyway?” He taunted. “Your father was a warlock and you can’t even break the veil of a few neophyte witches.”
“For your information, they are no longer neophytes,” she hissed before shooting a flame
from the palm of her hands at the demon. “There are several Elders living at McQueen Manor, or
have you forgotten that? You know what? You’re really starting to piss me off.”
“You missed me,” he teased, flashing her a wicked grin. “And yes. Compared to Clara,
Viola, and the others they are neophytes. They haven’t walked the earth as long as the others.
Jesse and Walter. Well, once we’ve obtained their magic, there’s no way in hell, they’ll be able to stop me.”
“Elios, I don’t need you to give me lessons on my own family history.”
“Watch your tone Veruca, lest I carry you down to the Netherworld to serve under me for
the rest of eternity. And when I say under me, I don’t mean as a mere servant in my household.
You will only exist to sate my every lust filled desire.”
“Ah, but I’ve lost my virginity centuries ago,” she reminded him. “The virgin you seek is in
Raven’s Falls, but it looks as though we’ll never make it through, Since The Heightening has
already taken place. Had we arrived just a few days earlier, we would have slipped in without a problem when the witches were at their weakest.” She balled a fist and pounded it into the palm of her other hand.
“Ah, yes. Rose has indeed grown into her powers well. I can feel the vibrations all over the
place. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top.” Elios brushed his long blond hair from his face and parted his legs slightly. “You never told me what drives you to approach your family after all these years and why you’ve agreed to betray them on my behalf.”
“Because, they have something I want and I’m not exactly betraying them. I’m an outcast, as
are most of the family that fled from New Orleans.” Closing her eyes, she tried sensing the portal again for several long moments, but when nothing happened, she cursed again. “I swear on all
that is unholy, if I don’t get my way, I’ll slaughter everyone in this sorry ass town!” Her chest heaved and for a fleeting moment, all she could see was a flaming red fire.
“Ah, Veruca my dear, you’re going to get wrinkles. Why don’t you come here and we’ll
figure out a way to pass the time.” He sat up and pat his leather clad leg. We can spend the
afternoon fucking beneath the waterfall. Maybe then, the portal will open.”
“What good will that do?” she huffed and folded her arms across her bosom.
“Well, it will pass the time, for one. Second…I miss those smooth, long, caramel thighs
wrapped around my waist.” Elios rose from the rock and walked around Veruca while trailing a
finger along her body. “I miss those gorgeous, pouty lips wrapped around my cock, and that
wicked tongue of yours teasing the slit.” He gathered her dark curly shoulder length strands in his hands and tugged mercilessly. “Or perhaps, I miss plowing in and out of that hot twat of yours
when you’re down on all fours.” He grabbed his cock. “I so enjoy digging my fingertips into the flesh of your ass when riding you until I explode.”
Veruca closed her eyes as Elios unzipped her biker leathers, revealing her heavy, round
breasts. She hissed and then she gasped when the demon wet his fingertips and rolled her nipples painfully between them.
He nuzzled her neck before biting her with his razor sharp teeth. Then, he whispered softly
against her earlobe. “Perhaps a little ritual sex will do the trick—that’s if you’re up to it. Oh, and you have seventy-two hours to find the virgin or else.”
She smiled as she slid her hand down his toned, lithe body, to his cock. She squeezed his
erect shaft several times until she felt his breath quicken. “Or else what, demon?”
He growled and grabbed her around the neck, pulling her against his body. “Or, I’ll filet you
alive and hang your skin for all to see in my kingdom of bones.” He jerked her hard, making her head snap painfully back. “That’s what I’ll do.”
“Oh, you so underestimate me, and I grow tired of playing these silly games with you.”
Swiftly she spun around, freeing herself from his grasp and looked him in the eye. “You’ll never get what you want—at least not before I do.”
Elios’ gaze hardened. “You dare speak to me in that manner? Apparently, I’ll need to teach
you a little lesson.”
“Just exactly what made you think you hold power over me?” she asked, while looking at
her long black fingernails.
He tried to grasp her around the neck again, but he stood, frozen. “What the hell have you
done to me?” he hissed, spittle flying from his mouth.
“Rendered you powerless, you demon prick,” she smirked. “You see, this land is littered
with the bones of your dead brethern. Buried them here myself a few days ago. In order for me to obtain McQueen magic, I need the blood of a virgin, a vampire’s ashes and a wolf’s heart. And
he’s not just any wolf, but a wolf warrior who betrayed his king and formed a rebellion against him. Til this day, he is hunted by the king’s descendants and the betrayal within his heart will help fuel the power of the spell I need to rightfully obtain McQueen powers that should have been bestowed upon
me.
”
“Damn you, Veruca! You think you’re so fucking smart, but know this.” Elios narrowed his
red eyes in brutish anger. “When I return, I’ll eat your fucking soul.”
His threat held little power over her. “I would use my powers on you, but doing
this
will give me so much more pleasure.” She laughed and grabbed Elios by the neck and snapped it.
His eyes turned black before they closed, and his limp body fell against hers.
With a grin, the sorceress kissed him on the cheek before letting his body slump to the
ground. A rush of satisfaction coursed through her when she lit his carcass on fire with a simple flick of her wrist. “That’s what happens to demons that fuck with me!”
She smiled once locating the exact entrance to the portal. She’d grown tired of pretending
she didn’t know where the opening was. Elios, the bastard deserved her betrayal, especially for thinking he could take advantage of her. She gritted her teeth in remembrance of the day he
thought he’d had her in his grasp.
Such nerve, offering her life in return for providing him with McQueen magic. She knew
eventually, he’d be back in one form or another, but next time, once she’d obtained family magic, she’d be able to banish him permanently. Right now, she had to tend to the task at hand—
bringing a few of her family members to their knees while regaining her birthright.
The End
I hope you enjoyed Book 2, Raven and the Rose. Book 3, Dehlia and Niall’s story is up next
followed by Book 4, Veruca and Elios’ story, followed by Book 5 with another story for Pearl
and Nicholas. Veruca will be staying in Raven’s Falls for a while, bringing misery and misfortune to anyone who looks at her wrong while she tries obtaining the important elements for her spell that will help free her from Elios forever.
I’ve promised a story for Clara and Micah, so that will be book 6. Thank you so much for
showing your interest in the Raven’s Falls series. The characters are indeed close to my heart.
