Their Unusual Mating [Paranormal Protection Unit 5] (Siren Publishing Classic) (15 page)

“Sounds good to me.” Reaching out, she grabbed the lapels of his robe and said, “You do know that you don’t have to tell me anything you don’t want to, right, darling? I love you, sweetheart, and I understand trust issues, darling mine.”

“You are my bond-mate, my other half,” he said softly to her. “I want to be able to talk with you, to discuss things with you, Rimi. It’s part of the deal of being mates.” Stroking his fingers up her throat, he cupped her cheek. “I love you, Charisma. You are everything I was missing.”

She shivered when he said her name. “Again?” she whispered. Never before had someone saying her name gotten her so hot. “Good lord, I felt intense pleasure just from you saying my name.” Shuddering, she licked her lips as she watched him.

“Charisma,” he whispered, dropping his voice an octave. Smiling slightly at her shiver again, he drew her closer to him. “My little Charisma,” Laighean moaned against her mouth. Kissing her gently, he nipped at her mouth. He could smell her rich arousal.

“Always yours,” she agreed as she brushed up closer, tighter to him. “God, that feels so good,” she whispered against his lips. Her eyes were more than slightly glazed with need, her breath coming in pants and her desire scenting the air sweetly.

Undoing her robe, he spread it open to bare her to his hands. Picking her up, Laighean put her back to the wall and slid his cock into her wet and waiting pussy hard, fast. Kissing her, he held her to the wall and took her with a hunger that he knew would never be sated. Fucking her as fast and deep as he could, he fed off her mouth, only letting her take a breath when needed.

Holding onto him with her arms and legs, Rimi bucked against him harder, faster. A low growl came from one of them, a growl that only made her wetter, hotter. Nails cut into his back. Desperation grew as he bucked into her harder and faster.

It wasn’t enough, not nearly enough. Taking her to the floor, he put them onto the rug and drove into her, the much better leverage letting him take her at an angle that hit her deeper. Watching her face carefully for any signs of distress or pain, Laighean let baser instincts rule him as he fucked his pretty little mate.

Rimi’s body lifted off the floor and arched into him time and again. She pushed against him, demanded from him every bit as much as he did to her. The band on her arm began to pulse, began to glow as he fucked her harder and harder into the floor.

Capturing her hands, Laighean put them over her head, lacing their fingers together, and leaned in closer to her, his Guard band coming into contact with her mating band. As he thrust, he felt them joining together again, linking, the connection even deeper inside of them than ever before. “Mine,” he breathed out before he came hard, his hips slamming into her and driving his cock right to her womb.

Rimi’s scream was caught in her throat. Gasping, she arched up and into him, legs tightening around his waist as the pleasure of her orgasm shattered her completely and fully. She felt the heat of the mating bands joined together and couldn’t help but smile as the gasp at the end of her orgasm came across finally.

Burying his face in her neck, he breathed her in slowly. Nuzzling at her skin, he smiled. “You alive?” he murmured softly. Loosening his hold on her hands, he only drew his arms back to lever some of his weight off her once he was sure their bands were once more stationary on their flesh.

“Yeah.” Her voice came out in a deep husky sound of sated delight. “That was simply amazing.” They hadn’t even made it out of their bedroom, but she was perfectly fine with that. They had both needed the connection, the pleasure that could be found in the ecstasy of their shared orgasm.

“Wasn’t the first place I’d planned on making love to you in our new home.” He smiled slightly as he settled on his arms. Looking down at her, he tipped his head. “I had thought our bed would be first and not the hard floor of the bathroom.”

“You don’t see me complaining.” Rimi’s smile was sated, wide, and happy. “Because I have to tell you, I needed you every single bit as much as you needed me,” she confessed. “But now that we are both a little bit sated you can think of where we make love next.”

“Definitely the lake,” he murmured softly to her. Brushing his lips to hers, he smiled and then lifted his head. Pushing off her slowly, he stood and held out his hands to her. “Come on, love, time for a little swim.”

“Let’s just hope that we don’t drown each other,” she teased with a grin. “But if we do, at least we will have had a wonderful time together.” Winking at him, she pulled back slightly. “Now then, show me our lake so that we can try that all over again, only this time with both of us shouting instead of only me.”

He wasn’t a big shouter obviously, but that was just his way. Tugging her close, he did up her robe and then grabbed his. “We will see if you can get me to yell,” he said softly to her. Taking her hand, he led her toward the back door.

“Oh yes, I’m sure that I can get you to yell,” she teased with a smile. “Come along, darling mine. Let’s let you make me yell, darling, because we both know that will happen, but I truly would like to try to get you to yell as well.”

Smiling, he paused to find her shoes, and setting them down, he pointed to them. “Your feet are not used to walking on what’s out there. Shoes on please.” He needed to ensure her safety in all things, even something as mundane as protecting her feet from cuts.

“You always take the best care of me, don’t you, honey?” she asked as she stepped into her shoes. “And what about you, sweets? Where are your shoes?” She looked pointedly down at his large and bare feet. “Or are you used to walking on what is out there?”

“I have many calluses on my feet, but I am also a part of Nature, and not much that is out there can harm me. It is when unnatural materials are in the woods that I need to take care.” Though he and the others had taken much time over the last weeks to sweep all of Kat’s lands. They had picked up a lot of garbage and man-made items that did not belong in Mother Nature.

“It is really terrible that so many people abuse the one and only home that we have, isn’t it?” She wasn’t talking about the home he built but the world they lived in. It was truly sad that people couldn’t see that they had to take care of the planet or it wouldn’t take care of them.

“It is rather depressing just how much damage has been done,” he agreed, stepping out the back door. Taking her hand, he led her down the path. “I can actually feel the Earth groaning under the terrible burden placed on her.”

“I think Kat feels it,” Rimi put out there softly. “I know how odd that sounds, but there are days you can look at her and almost feel her pain. I asked her about it a few days ago and she shrugged and simply replied with, ‘I’m the Fae Queen. There is much damage to be healed.’ I thought it was odd at the moment, but as I’ve thought about it, well, it makes a sad sort of sense.”

“We’re of Nature and can feel her pain,” Laighean explained, stepping over a log, and turned to help her over it. “When we all came out of stasis, it was a deluge of agony and hurt slamming into us all,” he revealed softly as they walked. “It put all of us on our asses for about a week, slowing down our time to catch up even more.”

“That had to have been a very difficult adjustment for you all.” She was in awe of the Fae people. They had endured so very much, and even when they came out of stasis had to endure even more, and yet they did. They not only endured but flourished.

“It was not easy, I will allow,” he told her softly. “The hardest part was actually learning of all we’d lost while in stasis, all those we’d lost.” Turning down a second path, he led her to the lake and stopped with a sigh. “Then there are moments like this, places like this”—he smiled—“that ease the pain.”

“Well, I hope that I will be able to help you ease the pain as well. I couldn’t even begin to imagine all that you have lost in your life, honey. I’m so very sorry for all that you did lose, but you focus on what you have gained, and that is just something that amazes me about you. It’s good, very good.”

“You have to focus on the good or the bad will drag you down into the mud and drown you,” he said softly. “Besides, I have the very best in my life, and I can’t imagine not focusing on her for even a moment.”

Rimi blushed at his comment and squeezed his hand lightly. “I love you, too, Laighean, so very much.” She was thankful that he was in her life, and as terrible as it was, glad that he had been in stasis so that they could have the chance in life that they had now.

Tugging her close, he wrapped his arm around her. “I’m glad I have the chance at a life with you, Rimi. I couldn’t imagine a life where you were not a part of it,” he said honestly. Ever since that first moment where they’d connected, he’d never wanted or needed anything else.

Rimi could only grin up at him and wink. “Good, because there is no life without you as a part of it.” She needed him in her life. Now and for all time she needed him in her life, and nothing less would do.

Pressing a kiss to her lips, he smiled back and shifted to strip out of his robe. Tossing it over a log, he moved to the lake and waded in. “You coming?” he asked with a grin over his shoulder. The water was bracing, a little on the cool side, but very refreshing.

“Where is a deep spot that I can jump into?” She didn’t want to take her time. If she was going to do this, she had to do it all at once and just jump in or she wouldn’t want to be in the water as she adjusted to its temperature. “‘Cause if not, you are going to be swimming on your own, mister,” she teased.

Treading water, he pointed to the large boulder. “You can jump off of that. There’s a good ten feet under it of just water, but know there’s not much more space than that,” he told her. Swimming toward the boulder, he got settled a few feet out of range of what she could potentially jump.

Climbing up on the rock, Rimi let the robe fall and looked to him. Giving him just a wink as warning, she ran and dove off the end of the rock and into the water. Coming up a ways from him, she shook her head and pushed her hair out of her face. “Holy Christ, this is cold. You said bracing, not freaking cold.”

Laughing, he swam to her and grinned. “If I’d thought cold, you never would have jumped in here, my love,” he pointed out. “And it is bracing, but my body can handle the differences in temperature changes better than a human can. Fae are part of Nature and therefore nothing of Nature can ever truly harm us unless it is perverted by man’s hands.”

She swam over to him and shivered. “Well then share your heat with me,” she grumbled and wrapped her arms around his shoulders so that she could pull in close to him, feel his heat as she did so. “Heat me up, darlin’.”

“Gladly,” he murmured, pulling her into him as he slowly swam to a spot where he could stand. Brushing his lips to hers, he breathed her in slowly. “You looked divine jumping off that rock. Your skin warmed in the sun, your hair flying, your breasts bared for my view.” Her pretty pussy an invitation he wasn’t going to ignore for long.

“You say such marvelous things to me,” she said with a smile. “Is it any wonder that I love you like I do?” she teased him softly and wrapped her legs around his waist. “So I’m getting a little warmer, but I think you can do better.”

“I will endeavor to ensure you are warmer soon,” he murmured. Once his feet were on something solid, he shifted her and let her slide down his cock. “Maybe I should warm you from the inside out?” he asked, running his hands up her sides to tease her breasts lightly.

“Oh that would be perfect.” She moaned, her back arching from him to give him more access to her breasts. “Feeling slightly warmer already, Lee.” She breathed as she bucked against him, need crawling over her as she did so.

Rubbing his thumbs to her tight nipples, he smiled at her. “Warmer is good, but I want you to be so hot there is steam coming off this lake,” he told her. Leaning in, he captured a nipple with his mouth and suckled, dropping his free hand to her ass to help her move on him.

I am certainly getting there, she thought to herself. Her fingers curled into his hair, hands holding him close and her body moving on his with intense need and desire. “Harder,” she demanded when his teeth so lightly caressed the bud of her nipple.

Smiling, he swirled the bud around on his tongue and then nipped at it. Grinning at her jolt and low moan, he repeated the procedure. Couldn’t hurt, and she seemed to like it. Rocking his hips ever so slightly, Laighean teased her flesh and her pussy. He wanted her frantic and desperate, needful and ready to kill him. That’s when their orgasms seemed to be the most explosive.

Rimi was panting, and she shuddered. “Yes, Laighean,” she growled. “More,” she demanded. “More, because I’m about to hurt someone.”

“No you’re not,” he murmured, shifting to give her other breast the same treatment. “You can take anything I dish out.” He suckled at her breast. Scraping his teeth lightly to the tight nub, he stroked her spine with light fingers.

“Oh God, yes,” she purred. “That feels so very, very good. Please, again. Only just a bit harder, please.” Her voice was a demand for more, husky and rich.

Giving her what she wanted, he pressed his teeth in harder to her soft, soft flesh. Gods, he loved the taste of her flesh. It had such touches of nature to it, he craved it. Sliding his tongue over her skin slowly to ease the ache, he squeezed her ass and moved them both a little faster, harder.

Rimi’s whole body shuddered. “Lee.” She panted his name softly, desperation in her voice. “You are so good.” Their mating bands began to heat up, reaching out for the other. “More,” she growled. “Please.”

Scraping his teeth up her breast, he nipped at her collarbone and then her throat. “More what?” he asked, adjusting his hold so he could pump his hips faster, driving his cock into her harder and deeper with each movement.

“More of that,” she growled. “Of you pumping hard up inside of me. Of your teeth scraping my breast. Harder, more. God it feels so good.” She all but purred needfully. She moved so that their bands were touching, and when she felt his reaching out to hers, cried out in the beginnings of her orgasm.
