The Guardian (12 page)

Chapter
Eleven

Michael walked up the stairs to a large master suite
on the second floor of the house. He closed the door and laid her on the king
size four poster bed that looked like it could be used for exotic uses than
just sleeping. There were hooks that blended in with the wood on each post at
several different heights. It made her stomach flip-flop just imagining what
they were for.

Cassie scooted away from him when he approached her
with a dark look in his eyes. She scrambled to get to the other side of the bed
before he could reach her. He caught her ankle and yanked her to him. He
unbuttoned and had her jeans down in moments. She screamed partly in real
anger, but a larger part of her enjoyed this.

Michael got her clothes off faster than she thought
possible and pinned her on the bed. “I am going to enjoy this. Remember the
word to stop all of this is red.”

Cassie grinned at him. She was nowhere near saying the
one word that would stop him.

Michael grinned wickedly at her. He looked up at his
bed frame and pulled a restraint free. He put the leather cuff around her wrist
and tightened it until it was tight enough she couldn’t escape, but it wasn’t
tight enough to harm her.

Cassie found herself naked sitting on a huge bed with
her arms outstretched over her head and her legs bent at an angle where her
pussy was on full display for him, and he tied them into place. She huffed at
him. “This isn’t fair.”

“Perfectly fair, I warned you I was very dominating.”
A soft knock sounded at the door. Michael silently prowled to the door and
opened it. He spoke softly to whoever was there. Cassie only heard him say,
“Thank you,” before he came back in with a huge tray of food. He kicked the
door closed with his foot, and walked towards the bed. “Good thing I am such a
kind and loving Dominant. Otherwise I would punish you while you begged me to
let you eat.”

The smell of food reminded her of how hungry she was.
Her stomach growled hungrily, and she licked her lips at the delicious scent of
food.

He sat on the edge of the bed and gave her an ominous
look. “Now I already told you that you were not being rational due to not
eating in a few hours. You are a new shifter, and your body has had a terrible
strain. Those shifter hormones can make you a bit crazy when you are not used
to them, and hunger makes it worse. I am going to make sure you are stuffed
full then punish you until you are screaming.”

Cassie felt her pussy clench. By the way he promised her
she was going to scream he didn’t mean pain. He was going to make her beg him
to fuck her.

Michael picked up a triangle of a BLT sandwich. “Open
up wide. There are five layers of bacon in this for extra protein.”

Cassie bit down and moaned in delight. The bacon was
cooked until crispy. The veggies on the sandwich were also crisp and ripened to
perfection. Then the bread was toasted to a nice crunch, with a thick layer of
mayonnaise. She kept her eyes closed as she chewed and loved every flavor from
the bite. She opened her eyes and saw Michael watching her as if she was the
most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

“What?” she asked self-consciously.

“I love feeding you. Watching you enjoy what I had
prepared for you, knowing it is nourishing your body. It takes my breath away.”
He shoved the sandwich towards her mouth again. She could not resist opening
her mouth if she tried.
A sandwich that good was meant to be
savored.
 
She bit down and barely
held back another moan of pleasure. It tasted so good she didn’t care that she
was eating while tied up.

She swallowed, and he held a straw to her mouth.
“Drink up, baby. You are going to need your strength.” Michael gave her a
charming smile that she knew was a cover for the sadistic plans he had. She
looked at him and wrapped her lips around the straw and sucked. “One day that
is going to be my cock you wrap your lips around.”

Cassie was amazed at how he could turn a mundane thing
like taking a drink of milk and make it sexual. She was not sure what to say.
She had never done that before. None of her boyfriends had been interested in
anything besides sex with the lights off. She had always thought sex was
overrated. Michael was completely different from any of her previous
boyfriends, and he had taught her how sex was meant to be. He was a take charge
kind of guy. She thought that was sexy as hell, and it explained why her other
boyfriends never lasted to marriage.

Michael grabbed a bowl of chilled fruit and fed her
the pieces one by one. He gave her a passionate kiss between each bite. By the
end of the fruit bowl she was feeling pleasantly full. “That is good,” she shook
her head at him when he went to grab another dish.

She rested her head against the headboard. The
nutrition from the meat, fruit and vegetables were saturating her system, and
she was thinking a bit more rationally. She was thankful she had not made a
bigger fool out of herself out there. Michael had explained to her that he had
sex with many of the shifter women around, and some of them were jealous that
he had taken a mate that was not them. She knew she would encounter some of
them, but she just did not expect them to look so much better than she did.

Something ice cold wrapped around her nipple, making
her gasp and throwing her out of her thoughts.
“Oh God.”
She looked down, and Michael had a handful of ice cubes in his hand that he was
massaging her nipple with. It was so cold and was making her nipples harden. He
dropped the ice cube back into the ice bucket and sucked her cold nipple into
his mouth. The intense sensations of ice cold, then the heat of his mouth made
her throw her head back, gasping for air. The ice returned to her nipple. “Michael,”
she cried shivering.

Michael took her lips in a brutal kiss while he put
ice in his other hand and massaged both nipples. He rubbed them over the tight
nub,
then
circled the outer areola.

Cassie shivered and tried to pull her hands from the
restraints. It was so cold. After a while he pulled away, and she looked at him
pleadingly. “Please, Michael. Take the ice off of there.”

“Of course,” he said with an evil smile. She watched
him expecting to do something devious to her. He shoved the ice into her pussy.
She screamed in surprise and cold, and tried to wiggle away from him. “There is
no moving away. I made sure you would stay exactly where I put you.”
 
Michael had gotten comfortable lying on his
stomach as he flicked her clit with an ice cube.

Cassie bit her lip at the terrible cold filling
her.
 
“Please, it’s so cold.”

“I bet it is. Let me warm it up for you,” he pulled
the ice away from her. He opened the lid from a dish on a warmer and pulled out
a glass plug.

Cassie’s eyes widened. “What is that for?”

“To warm you up, of course.
You can also lube it up nicely for when I shove it up your ass.”

Michael slid the warm plug into her cold pussy. Cassie
moaned at how good it felt to have her core warming after he had tormented her
with the ice.

“You like that, my naughty little wolf, don’t you?”

“Yes,” Cassie agreed with a smile.

“I am going to shove this up your ass. I am going to
fuck you hard, and every time you are ready to come, I am going to freeze your
pussy.” The look of sadistic pleasure on his face made Cassie whimper. He was
going to do it. He was pulling out the dildo and shoving it back in slowly
while he watched her face.

“Michael, I am sorry I didn’t listen to you out
there,” she whispered while gasping for air. He was shoving that thing in that
area deep inside her that felt so good. She wasn’t above begging. Her mind may
think all this sexual torture sounded hot, but she was sure getting her clit
iced every time she was ready to come was not all that fun. More like he got to
have all the
fun,
and she got left in the cold,
literally.

“It is too late for apologies.” Michael moved the plug
in her and stroked her clit. She was so close. She was going to come. She
opened her mouth to cry out her release. She heard him fumble with something,
but she was too focused on coming to care what he was doing.

She cried out at the shock of cold that hit her pussy.
Michael had shoved an icicle into her, while he rubbed ice on her clit.
 
He moved the cold dildo that had been sitting
on ice just as fast and used the ice over her clit. It was more than just
shocking. The cold stung.

“Michael, that is so cruel,” she cried. She tried to
get him away from her by wiggling. None of the restraints moved enough to allow
her to escape from the arctic torment. Not only was she denied an orgasm just
as it was about to crest, but she was freezing now as well.

Michael watched her face as she reacted to the cold
freezing out her orgasm. “You are my mate. My job as guardian is usually a
peaceful one, but there are times I need you to listen to me, without question
or defiance. I need you to listen to me when it comes to Kathy. She is a
dangerous shifter, and she can’t sense any weakness in you.”

“What do you mean she is dangerous? Why do you let her
live here then?” Cassie was confused why he allowed someone so dangerous to
stay.

“She is not the same kind of dangerous as Lucas. He
comes at you head on, but Kathy is a conniving, power hungry, backstabbing kind
of dangerous. If she spots any weakness in you she will use it to gain power,
and she will hurt you if she gets a chance.”

Cassie laughed. “My grandpa taught me how to shoot.
She doesn’t scare me.”

 
“She wouldn’t
hurt you physically. She can get under your skin and hurt your heart. Stay away
from her, especially if she is being friendly.”

Cassie knew he was very serious, and this was no time
to play around. “Yes, Michael, I promise to keep away from her.”

Michael smiled. “She thought she could force me to
mate with her by eliminating all the competition. You threw a wrench in her
machine, and she is not happy about it. Whatever she tells you about yourself,
or me,
don’t
believe her.”

“Why did you walk away with her?” Cassie asked.

“I saw how she was making you feel, and she could see
it as well. I needed to get her out of sight and tell her she was not welcome
here at our home. I did not want to give her any ammunition to use against
you.”

Cassie believed him. He did walk to where Kathy could
not see her anymore, and Kathy had left angry, not gloating.

“I am really sorry, Michael. I do not know why I acted
like such a baby out there.”

“Because in a way you are.
You were just changed from a human to a shifter. Your hormones are worse than
an adolescent’s, and your body has been under enormous stress. You went through
something that should have killed you. Only my essence stabilizing everything
while I changed you kept you alive. If you had continued on your way, and not
stopped you would not have survived the night.”

“I thought about it, but I was so tired, and hurting.
I just wanted to sleep,” Cassie said, remembering her thoughts as she sobbed in
the bush the night Marcy died, and she saw Michael the first time.

“Thank the Goddess that you were already feeling the
effects of the stirring essence. If you had been feeling fine you would have
died within two days. No hospital would have been able to help you. They would
have seen your vitals dropping no matter what they did to stabilize you.”

Cassie looked at him, knowing he saved her life, but what
she felt for him was far more than thankfulness. She loved him more than she
had ever loved anyone before. “Since I am okay now, we can just skip the whole
punishment, right?”

Michael smiled ominously. “I am looking forward to
seeing you beg too much. I think I need you to be in a different position.”
Michael removed the wrist restraints and moved them lower. He moved her body
making sure her legs stay spread open, and laid her down. “How are your arms?
Any tingling, numbness, or discomfort?”

Cassie shook her head. “No, they are fine.”

“Good, if they get uncomfortable or tingly, let me
know.”
 
He checked the spacing on the
restraints to make sure they were not too tight. Then he patted her leg lightly
with a satisfied smile. He crouched and picked up a ceramic bowl with a spoon
in it. She could smell it was fruity, and see it was frozen.

“What is that?”

Michael grinned. “It is a fruit puree that was churned
like ice cream. It is great for this.” He scooped some onto the spoon and
placed it on her nipple.

Cassie gasped. It was so cold, yet it felt good at the
same time. Then the nice feeling was quickly gone, and it started to hurt. She
whimpered and tried to move away. “Michael,” she whined.

Michael wrapped his lips over her frozen fruit covered
nipple, and with his lips and tongue he lapped up all the sorbet.

Cassie wiggled as much as she could in her bonds. It
was like there was a direct connection from her nipple to her clit.
 
He repeated the process of the ice cold
sorbet then cleaning it off with his hot mouth. It was all making Cassie burn
for him. Her pussy throbbed, aching for release. She knew he was going to do it
again. He was going to bring her just to the brink of coming, and then he would
do something mean that would short circuit her orgasm. Her nipples were very
cold from the repeated process of the sorbet and then him sucking it off of
her.

“You taste as delicious as you look,” Michael complimented
her. He stood up and took off his clothing. He stood before her with his large
cock sticking straight out at her. It was long and almost as thick as her
wrist. She stared at it wondering how that ever fit in her before. He grabbed a
bottle of lube and the plug from the warmer.
