Breathe Into Me (11 page)

“Please don’t be scared
, angel. I just wanted you to know how I feel about you before we make love.”

I can see the sincerity in his eyes. Without thinking, I utter the words that w
ill seal my fate. “I love you too.”

His lips find mine as his hand
s reach for the hem of my shirt. It is quickly removed along with his. His fingers easily unhook the front clasp of my bra. Cool air hits my nipples making them harden instantly. He releases the button of his pants and quickly discards them along with his briefs. He stands gloriously naked in front of me and I have to swallow the lump that’s formed in my throat. His rather impressive erection stands proudly at attention. A drop of liquid glistens along the head of his penis, the bulbous tip easily reaches his belly button. I tear my eyes away from his manhood and scan the rest of his incredible body. His olive skin shimmers in the soft light. Every inch of his body is covered in tight sinew muscle.

My eyes travel over Adam’s smooth chest down to his well-defined six-pack.
I zero in on the thin line of dark hair that makes up Adam’s happy trail past the well-defined V of his hips to the groomed tuft of hair that surrounds his shaft.

“You’re
beautiful,” I whisper as Adam begins to remove my shorts.

“
You’re beautiful, I’d die without you, Andy, I need you.” His voice is strained as if he’s in pain.

I gasp as I’m lifted off my feet and spread out over his h
uge bed. Heat spreads through my body like a forest fire, consuming everything in its path. My heart races as my breathing increases.

“Kiss me,” h
e growls.

I press
my lips to his and I can’t hold back the moan in my throat. He responds by deepening our kiss. I open my mouth and our tongues collide in a sensual dance. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him closer. I try to think about what I’m doing, but I can’t. All I can do is feel how my body is responding to his. His hands cover my breasts, and his thumbs begin to make circles around my nipples causing them to elongate further.

Adam
breaks away from our kiss and dips his head lower. His warm wet tongue flicks over my nipple causing my body to erupt with pleasure. I throw my head back and moan his name. He growls as he takes my nipple into his mouth, sucking hard, and then biting gently. He trails kisses across my sternum repeating the process to my other breast. My body trembles with need and desire. His sizeable erection is rubbing against my core. The friction sends more of those delicious shockwaves through me. He quickly releases me and leans back. I watch his eyes as he apprises my body.

“You’re so perfect
.”

H
is deep voice makes me shiver. I’ve never felt comfortable with my body, but under Adam’s gaze, I feel sexy, and desired. I need more of him, no matter how much I touch him it’s not enough. I pull Adam toward me, and he smiles as he resumes his sensual assault on my body. His hands find their way back to my breasts.

“Y
ou fit my hands so perfectly,” he moans. His mouth trails soft kisses down my neck to my pulse point where he begins to suck gently before kissing his way up to my ear. I can feel his warm breath fanning my ear as his lips graze my lobe. “I can’t wait to be inside of you.”

I moan in response. I can feel his smile against my skin. I skim my hands over his back
. His body is so warm. His hand moves down my body, gently caressing his way to my sex. He cups my freshly manicured mound, his fingers slide over my moist folds.

“
Oh, angel, you’re so wet for me.”

He thrusts his
finger inside me, again, and again. My breathing becomes ragged as my inner walls clench around his finger. I’m so close to the edge already. I grab his shoulder and dig my nails into his skin.

He
inhales sharply. “Come for me,” he demands as he slides another finger inside me. The heel of his palm pushes against my aching clit.

I can’t handle all the sensations. I can feel my body t
ensing and begging for release. “Please, I want you inside me,” I beg.

He gently tugs on my ear with his teeth. “Don’t worry
, angel, I’m just getting started.” He bites my neck as his fingers push even deeper inside my body.

I cry out, but he continues faster and faster.
My hips arch off the bed as I cry out. “Ah god, Adam!” My orgasm washes over me in a wave of pleasure so intense it makes my toes curl.

He slowly removes his fingers and brings them to his mouth.

Oh, he’s not going to...oh he is
.

Adam
slowly licks his fingers savoring the taste of my release. His eyes close as a look of ecstasy flashes across his face. My eyes are transfixed by his movements as my body slowly starts to come down from my orgasm. I’m panting while my heart beats frantically. Adam’s mouth finds mine and I can taste myself on his tongue, it’s incredibly erotic. His large body looms over mine as he begins to trail kisses down my body. I release several loud moans as my nails dig into his back.

“
I need more of you, angel. I want to make you come with my mouth…” His voice is strained as if he’s fighting to stay in control.

Oh god, I’ve never wanted anything so much
.

“Please
,” I beg him.

He leans back and runs his fingertips down my body leaving trails of fire in his wake. My nipples harden and I feel pressure in my groin. He kisses me again. It’s different this time. It’s needy, desperate. He leans on
his forearms. His hard body presses into mine. He rotates his hips, digging his hardness into my sensitive core. I gasp for air, breaking our kiss. His stubble-ridded jaw scraps against my neck.

“You
are MINE,” he growls against my throat. 

“YES
!” I shout.

“SAY IT
!” His commanding voice sends chills down my spine.

“I’m yours,
” I moan. My body is on fire, it feels like its smothering me. I can’t seem to get away from it. I can sense it deep within me, like its branding my soul.

Adam slides down my body placing kisses over every inch of my skin. He playfully nips at my h
ipbones causing my body to arch off of the bed.  I look down to see Adam staring up at me from between my legs. His arms wrap around my thighs, gripping them tightly as his mouth hovers over my most private part.

Oh god, he gives me a sexy grin as his head dips lower.
Adam releases a growl and my body practically convulses from the sensation of his tongue gliding over my moist flesh.

“Oh god,” I moan as my body arch’s off the
bed.

He goes slowly at first, driving my body to its breaking point, his tongue flicks my clit, taunting me. My heartbeat is erratic, I’m panting
. A soft moan escapes my lips. This seems to encourage him. Adam picks up his pace as he continues to explore my pussy with his tongue.

“You belong to me,” h
e says against my swollen clit before continuing his assault on my body, my moans of pleasure fill the room.

“Yes, don’t stop, p
lease don’t stop.” I don’t care that I’m begging. This feels far too incredible for him to stop.

Adam
slides one of his long fingers inside my folds slowly working his finger in and out of my pussy.  His tongue never ceases its ministration, he swirls the tip of his tongue over my sensitive spot.

“God I’m almost there.”

I feel his smile against my skin as he slides another finger inside me and begins to quicken his pace. Adam places his other hand on my stomach and spreads his fingers to hold me in place. “Oh, angel, you’re so tight and wet. Come for me.”

“Oh, god!
” My head falls back as I scream his name, and my body erupts with pleasure once again. Suddenly his body hoovers over mine, spreading my legs further apart.

“I hope you’re on the pill
, angel, because I don’t want anything between us.”

I nod my head in response.

“Good. I love you, Andy,” he breaths as he thrusts inside me. His eyes search my face for sighs of discomfort as he slowly works his cock in and out of my body sliding all the way to the hilt. “Fuck, angel, you’re so tight,” he says through clinched teeth.

I gasp at the sudden intrusion of my b
ody. I have only had three lovers in my life, but Adam is by far is the biggest. His cock is so long and thick it’s feels as if he’s filled me completely. After a moment, the pain turns to pleasure. Adam settles onto his elbows pinning me down with the weight of his body and begins to move. I wrap my legs around his hips, as my nails dig into his back. His movements are slow and tender just as he had promised. His hands encompass my head as he kisses me hard.

Our moans of pleasure merger and become one. Adam starts to move faster as his mouth moves to my neck. I cry out as his teeth make contact with my skin. My body begins
to tighten and that familiar ache returns full force. He lifts himself and places his weight on his hands. I gently caress his face as he playfully nips at my fingertips. His left hand skims over my thigh pressing it firmly against his hip.

“Look at me
, Andy!”

Our eyes me
et and the world around me fades. There is only this man…this bed…the incredible sensations of our lovemaking.

“Adam… please…I…need-
” I pant. I can’t hold on much longer, my body feels like it could explode any moment.

“Please
what? Tell me what you need.” He rolls his hips and the sensation it inflicts makes my head spin.

“I...need…fuck!
” I cry out.

He leans his body closer pressing his mouth to my ear. “Do you need to come?”

I nod my head because words have failed me.

“I want
to hear you to say it, angel.” He grinds his hips once more sending shockwaves of desire throughout my body.

I lick my lips and stare into his eyes. “I need to come.”

His smile widens as he starts to move faster. “Come with me, angel.” Adam bites his lower lip and I realize he’s as close to the edge as I am.

His body pounds into mine one last time as we cry out in unison.
Adam tosses his head back and roars out my name as he ejects his seed into my womb. His body collapses on top of mine and I gladly support his weight. I hold him close as his body shudders with the remainder of his orgasm. Adam rolls onto his back draping me across his chest.

“Are you okay? I d
idn’t hurt you did I?”

I listen to th
e sound of his beating heart as I try to catch my breath. “I’m beyond okay. That was amazing.”

His chest rumbles with laughter as his arms hold me tight. We hold each other close as Filter begins to sing
“Happy together”.  Richard Patrick took the words right out of my mouth. I’ve had good sex before, but this was earth shattering. I don’t know how long we stayed embraced in each other’s arms, minutes? Hours? Time just seemed to stand still. My finger begins to trace one of his taut nipples as I inspect a tattoo on his left pectoral. It’s a tribal wolf’s head with bright yellow eyes.

“I like your tattoo.”           
                                                           

“Thank
s. Micah did it. We all have one, except Lincoln’s is a bear.” I continue my lazy trek over his body. Another large tattoo catches my eye. This one is placed over his right ribcage. It’s a tribal design of a sword piercing a crescent moon.

“What does this one mean?” I ask as my fingers begi
n to trace the black ink.

“We all have this one
to. It symbolizes our commitment to each other and to our dedication to protect the innocent. We’re brothers who share no blood, but we will gladly die for one another.”

I begin to consider his odd choice of words and the fact that all of these men have the same tattoo when I notice a strange symbol over his heart. I run my finge
r over the slightly raised skin. It looks like some type of hieroglyphic symbol was branded into him.

“What’s this?” I ask.

“It’s the mark of the Archangel Raphael.”                                                   

“I don’t understand.”
Why would he brand this symbol into his body?
 

“Raphael is the guardian of the East and the element of Air. Keeper of the tree of life and healing powers, he’s the angel of love, joy, and laughter.”

I continue to inspect the mark.
“So you believe in angels?” I guess there are worse things to believe in.

Adam plac
es a chaste kiss to my forehead. “Absolutely, I’m holding one right now.”

Chapter 9

“Do you think Adam’s going to
tell her tonight?” Cass asks as he leans over the pool table to make a shot.

I take a swig of beer as I consider his question. “I doubt it brother, I’m sure his mouth is busy with other things.” Lucky bastard, god fucking knows
that I’d love to be rolling around in bed with a beautiful woman right now, preferably one named, Kelsey.

“I kind of figured that, I meant later after he’s worn her out to the point of exhaustion, you know, that way she’ll be too tired run away from him.”

I bust out laughing at the image Cass has just put into my head. “Damn, is that what you plan on doing with your mate?”

I can’t picture Adam having to do that, after spending some time with Andy I could tell she loves him. Again, he’s one lucky bastard.

“If she turns out to be human like Andy, then hell yeah I do. I’ll do anything to convince her to stay with me.”

I doubt Cass will ever have to stoop that low, he’s a male of worth and any woman would be lucky to have him. My thoughts travel back to my best friend. If Adam does tell Andy, I
hope that she’ll just accept him. I’ve never told a woman that I wasn’t human so I have no clue how one would react. I’m sure she’ll be scared at first I mean who wouldn’t be, but they love each other. It was all over their faces at dinner.

To be honest that female blew me away tonight. She was worried about Adam
’s safety not to mention ours. I couldn’t believe she ordered me around just as a parent would to a defiant child and demanded to look at my eye.

Until that moment I had pegged her as a shy reserved woman
, but man did she prove me wrong. That female is strong and determined and by no means a pushover. Andy had insisted on checking out all of our visible injuries, it was thoughtful and a complete foreign concept to me. She proved to me in that moment that she would be an excellent wife and mother to my best friend and his future young. Hell, if she feels confident ordering us around she’ll have no problem with a bunch of rowdy wolf pups.

“Do you ever think about finding your mate?” Cass’s question takes me by surprise.

“Hell no, why do you?” What am I saying, of course he does, this is Cass we’re taking about, he and Linc are good men from good families. Getting married and starting families is what they are supposed to do. They aren’t like Micah and me. We are lone wolves who by all intense and purposes should never have families. I can’t speak for my brother, but god knows I never want to have kids. I have an explosive temper and there is no way in hell I’m going to take the chance of hurting my own young. I have enough of my father’s traits in me, why tempt fate.

“I can’t wait to find
my mate and become a father.” Cass peers up at me as he sinks the eight ball. “How can you not want to find your mate? Don’t you want to know what it feels like to have that kind of unconditional love? Or to care for someone so much that you’d give your life for theirs?”

Hell freaking no, I have enough problems without throwing a mate into the mix. “I already have that
, Cass. I’d die for the four of you any fucking day of the week.” I mean it too. If it ever came down to it, I’d sacrifice myself in a heartbeat if it meant that one of these men could live.

“It’s not the same thing and you know it. Linc, Micah, help me out here.”

I glance over at the next pool table where my brothers have just started a new game.

“I agree with Cass, finding a true mate would be incredible not to mention watching her carry your yo
ung. Damn amazing if you ask me,” Linc says as he lands two balls in the corner pocket.

“I’m with James, it might be okay for some of
you, but I don’t have time for a mate and as far as having kids, I have enough problems getting you chuckleheads to follow my directions.”

I have to laugh at my brother’s honesty. He’s the oldest of the four of us and because of that fact
alone, the angels felt that he was the best choice to lead all of us. It was easy when it was just a handful of Enforcers, but now that we are nearing a thousand members, it’s getting harder for Micah to rein us all in.

“What the hell is wrong with you two? Are you telling me that you’d be content to be alone for eternity?”

I roll my eyes at, Cass. God he can be such a drama queen.

“Who said anything about being alone? While you two are home with your wives and rug rats living boring mundane lives, we’ll be fucking different women every night.”

That’s another problem with having a mate. I can’t imagine only being with one woman for the rest of my life. We are immortal beings, which to be honest doesn’t mean we can’t be killed. It just means we live longer than humans do and we are a hell of a lot more durable.

“I’ll take a boring life with a good female over the life
I have now any day of the week,” Cass says while looking toward the front of the bar.

I fol
low his eyes and can’t stop the growl that escapes from my throat. Davenport has just walked through the door with a group of men, probably fellow cops.

“Dude, do not start shit with him, remember what happened last time.”

I ignore Linc as I watch the cop order a round of drinks. The last time I had the pleasure of being in that fucker’s company he arrested me for assault. The stupid SOB didn’t realize that I had just taken out several werebears on my own, thank you very fucking much. He had called for backup and hauled us all into the station. After an hour, Officer Davenport had released the bears and left me to rot in a cage. Nothing pisses me off more than being trapped. It had been early morning by the time he let me call Micah to post my bail. The second I got home, I shifted and ran for hours to clear my head. My little stint in jail had trudged up a shit ton of bad memories for me and I needed an escape. I blame that fucker for everything that he made me relive.

Micah joins my side and leans closer to my ear. “I know what you’re thinking James and I swear
that if you touch one hair on that pretty boy’s head I’ll string you up by your balls. Do I make myself clear?”

I love my brother
, but right now, I’d like to set his ass on fire. I reluctantly nod in agreement. I know that my brother is just looking out for me. I turn my attention back to Cass and a new game of pool. I line up the cue ball and just as I’m about to break, the sound of feminine laughter distracts me causing me to scratch. I glance up to see Kelsey entering the bar with, Henry Ross. Our eyes meet from across the room. She offers me a sweet smile before taking a seat at the bar. Micah snaps his fingers to get our attention.

“That reminds me. Do you all see that lovely b
londe that just walked in? She’s off limits.”

***

I feel like I’m about to explode. For the last hour, I’ve been forced to watch Kelsey from across the room. Every time I hear her laugh or see her smile, I want to walk over to her and demand that she come home with me. Hell I’m not even sure we’d make it back to the cabin before I striped her of her clothing and had her crawl into my lap. Fuck me, but that female is hot.

“Earth to Jamie, dude it’s your turn.”

Huh? I glance at Lincoln who isn’t even trying to hide his amusement.

“Man if I didn’t know better I’d swear
that you were in love. You haven’t taken your eyes off of that girl all night.”

Did he just
use the dreaded L word? I mean he’s right of course, not the part about being in love with her, but the part about staring at her. God she is so fucking beautiful, everything about her is perfect. Her long hair is the color of the sun and it looks thick and soft. I’d love to wrap it around my hand as I thrust into her from behind. Speaking of that, her ass looks fucking amazing in the tight faded jeans she’s wearing. I’d do just about anything for the chance to squeeze it, although I wouldn’t be able to stop there. Her green tank top hugs her upper body and only helps to showcase her perky breasts. Fuck me I bet they would fit perfectly in my hands. This girl is absolute perfection. She’s not even trying to look sexy in her casual outfit and natural makeup, she just is. Most of the women in here are dressed to impress with their tight clothing and overly done makeup, but not, Kelsey. She doesn’t have to show off her body to catch a man’s attention. God knows she’s held mine all night. This female is classy and elegant and deserves a real man. One who would treat her like the princess that she is.

“All right, I’ve had enough of this.”

I shake my head to clear it and realize I never did take my turn. “Sorry, cub, I’m just distracted tonight.” I start to lean forward to make my shot, but stop abruptly. Shit, I can’t even remember if I’m solids or stripes.

“You
’re solids, dipshit,” he chuckles.

“Thanks.
” I line up my shot, but I’m so distracted I scratch the cue ball giving the bear the chance to wipe the floor with me.

“Damn
, wolf, you suck tonight.”

I
don’t bother to argue with him. Instead, I go back to pining over a woman that is way out of my league.

“Bro
, you are about to cross over into creepy stalker territory. All you’re missing is a pair of binoculars and sting singing in the background. Just ask the girl out already.”

I sigh loudly as I run my thumb
over my bottom lip.

“
You heard what my brother said.”

I know Micah
’s doing it out of respect for Andy. Kelsey is her best friend and she probably wouldn’t appreciate every one of us trying to get into her friend’s panties. Now if Kelsey were to become interested in me, then Micah would have to lift the hands off rule. I wonder how I can speed things up and make that a reality.

“You know I love and respect Mike and I’m always the first one to uphold his orders
, but I think he’s wrong about this one. I’ve known you for five decades and I’ve never seen you look at a woman the way you are right now. That girl is different from the others. Don’t even try to deny it.”

I open my mouth
, but quickly close it. I can’t tell him the truth because I don’t know what that is. “Nah, I just want her because I can’t have her.” Yeah that’s probably it. I bet the second I came inside of her I’d lose interest.

“God you’re so full of shit I need boots to listen to you
, but whatever, if you’re not going to be honest with me, at least be honest with yourself. You like her and if I were you I’d let her know how I felt because a girl like that won’t be single for long.”

I’m about to tell the nosy bear
to mind his own business when I notice Davenport eyeing my girl. Whoa, where in the hell did that come from? Fuck it. It’s time to let Davenport know he has competition. I gulp down the entire contents of my beer.

“H
uh would you look at that I need another drink.”

Lincoln chuckles as I make
my way to the bar. I make it out of the billiard room when Micah steps out from the shadows.

“James.
”

My name is growled in warning so I know without a doubt that my brother isn’t going to take any of my bullshit tonight.

“I’m just getting another beer. Now get the fuck out of my way.”

Micah narrows his sapphire eyes at me as he searches my face for sighs of deceit. He won’t find any. I know how to follow orders and deep down I know he’s right. I may not agree with it at this partic
ular moment, but I know my place. I squeeze my brother’s shoulder as I side step him and head for the bar. Finn places a bottle of Budweiser in front of me before going back to mixing drinks.

“Hey Finn what is the name of this shot again?” Kelsey is eyeing th
e glass in front of her like its poison.

“
Tis called a four ‘orseman, darlin’, tis made with vodka, gin, tequila, an’ rum, nigh draink up.”

I watch in amusement as Kelsey shrugs her slender shoulders and tosses back th
e toxic mixture.

“Yer me kind av
doll, Kelsey Collins, nigh peck another shot.”

Kelsey picks up something that
resembles a menu. “Let’s see, how about a gold rush.”

Finn chuckles before turning his back to her. He grabs a bottle of Goldschlager and Jagermeister and makes it a double. I need to put a stop to this before it gets out of hand.

“You do realize that he’s trying to get you drunk so you’ll take his sorry ass home.”

Kelsey smiles as she turns in my direction. She’s so close I have to stop myself from reaching out and touching her.
“Yeah I figured that out about four shots ago.” She narrows her eyes as she inspects my battered face. “What happened? Did a jealous husband catch up with you?” she chuckles.

“
Yeah, something like that,” I sigh. Fucking Dallas, he needs to get over this shit. It was one time and anyways it’s not like I even remember the girl’s name.

Finn
places the shot in front of Kelsey while giving me the finger. Well atleast now he can say that I’m cockblocking him. I watch as she tosses back the shot and hands Finn the empty glass.
