Kane's Mate (Armageddon Mates) (11 page)

“Well, so much for that hot shower I’ve been looking forward to all day. Now I will be having a cold shower.”

She giggled at him.

After dinner Kane finally got rid of Jamie, shoving him outside with a piece of cake. Jamie laughed, saying he would be back tomorrow. When Kane came back in Faith was sitting on the lounge reading a book. He picked her up, sitting her on his lap. She placed her book on the coffee table and snuggled into him. Kane hugged her closer, trying to say what he had to say carefully.

“You start work tomorrow. I know you want to work. I have no problem with it, but I am glad it’s only part time.”

She glared at him.

“Before you get angry, all I’m saying is I think it would be best for you as you have been getting visions.” He held up his hand so he could finish. “I know you can look after yourself, but I’ll still worry.”

She kissed him slowly before saying, “It should be fine. It’s only at the after school program, which is ages six and up.”

“Just don’t overdo it.”

Faith nodded.

He debated if he should tell her what he had been thinking of doing as he hadn’t fully decided himself yet. Hugging her tighter to him, he blurted out, “I’m thinking I might stop working at the hospital and become a local doctor, maybe not even full time, join a clinic three to four days a week.”

* * * *

Faith was shocked. She knew Kane loved working in the fast pace of the emergency room.

“But you love your job.”

“I did before I had you. One of the reasons I loved that job so much was because I thought it kept me so busy I didn’t even think about you, but today I was told I talked about you quite a bit. I hated coming home to this empty house, but tonight I couldn’t get away from the hospital fast enough. I had to take off my watch to stop checking the time.”

He moved her so her legs straddled him. Faith stared into his eyes and chewed on her bottom lip, trying to decide how to word what she wanted to say. “I don’t want to be the reason you resign from your job. If it makes you happy, I’m sure we can figure something out, like cutting back on your hours or maybe—”

Kane captured her mouth before she could continue. He groaned against her lips, and she slid her hands up and under his shirt, hugging him to her. Kane gently gathered her hands, moving them behind her before he ended their kiss and eased down her body, worshipping her. When he reached her belly button he paused and looked up at her as he said, “Bengie asleep?” He placed feathered kisses on her stomach, which sent butterflies coursing through her. She groaned when he stopped to add, “What do you want to do?”

Faith smiled at him as she sighed. “Oh, I don’t know. What do you have in mind?”

He tugged her singlet off, pulling the black lace bra down and sucking a nipple into his mouth.

“Oh, oh, Kaannnee.”

He chuckled. “Might want to quiet down, princess. We wouldn’t want to wake your brother.”

She bit the inside of her check as she nodded.

His hands slowly moved back to her stomach, catching her pants and pulling them off.

He looked at her. “God, you’re beautiful.”

Faith felt her checks heat, blushing as he buried his face in between her legs, feasting. He chuckled against her pussy and she shivered. The smell of her arousal intensified. He licked the cream from her pussy until she felt the tremors of a pending orgasm. He moved up her body, thrusting his dick home. She came, calling his name, the word muffled against his shoulder. He thrust several more times. His face was strained and his muscles seemed to tighten as her vagina muscles squeezed and released.

Kane turned her over, placing her hands on the lounge and spreading her legs further apart. She turned her head to see him take a step back, looking at her in an erotic stance. Growling, he stepped forward, draping himself over her and kissing his way up her back as he slammed his cock back home.

* * * *

Kane slowly moved his hands up, stopping at her stomach, knowing his child grew safely inside her. He cupped her breasts, playing with the nipples, loving her reactions. She writhed and bucked back against him, moaning his name. He picked up his pace, moving a hand up to help steady her.

“Harder, please, harder. I need...” She bit his hand, and he growled, moving faster. She chanted, “Yes, yes, yes.”

Stroking her clit with one hand, he braced her with the other as he thrust into her with more force. She screamed her release, obviously not caring anymore about waking up her brother. Her pussy clenched so tightly around his cock he couldn’t hold out any longer, and he came, yelling his own release as his cock locked inside her. God, it felt so good. He felt Faith shiver against him. She moaned as he picked her up and carried her to their room. Each time he moved, her body seemed to vibrate against him and her vagina muscles squeezed until it felt like she was going to cut his cock off.

As he laid them on the bed, spooning and cuddling, she spoke softly in a blissed-out voice. “Once you go wolf, you will never want to go back. I love my werewolf.”

He chuckled and kissed her head. Faith pulled his hand up to her mouth and kissed it. “I love you, Kane.”

He pulled her closer and sucked on her neck. “You feel so good, my princess. I’m going to take you slowly this time…kissing, licking, sucking, and savoring every inch, finding all the special places on your body. By the end of tonight I will know every inch of you by heart.”

She sighed out her pleasure as he did just that.

* * * *

The damn alarm went off, although it felt like they’d only fallen asleep minutes earlier. She groaned, snuggling closer to Kane. “I love you, Kane. Don’t forget I start work today. I finish tonight at 7:30, but I won’t get home ’til about 8:20, so there’s no need for you to rush home. I know you’re a workaholic. From what I was told you usually didn’t get home until around 10:30 at night, and then you would go out patrolling for two to three hours.”

He chuckled. “Seems like I’m not the only one who listens to information about the other.”

Faith smiled and pushed him out of bed. “Go to work.”

He chuckled again.

Faith had a slow morning before she went to work. She spent time with Bengie, relaxed, and after lunch she left for work.

It felt fantastic to be home in Australia, working, coming home to Kane and Bengie. Faith had two wonderful vision free days where she got to sleep in, go to the beach, and she even did some shopping. On the third day, about an hour and a half before she finished work, her peaceful days came to an end. She almost missed catching the vision to hold it, because she was busy helping a group of girls with their artwork. She excused herself to go to the bathroom so she could gather herself, and she stared at her reflection in the mirror, concentrating. This was the first vision she’d had to hold off since getting her extra power. Faith cursed her mother for the gift. She could feel how powerful the vision was going to be. All Faith’s senses were on alert. She rinsed her face and walked back out.

At 7:38 PM, Faith was walking out the door to go home. She thanked her coworker for staying back to help her pack up and lock everything up, then hurried to her car and broke all the speed limits getting to the house. Pulling into the driveway, she honked the horn, which didn’t help her migraine. She waited for Kane to come out, but Jamie strolled out instead. She saw him smile her way, then he frowned and started running when he saw her face.

She finally let the vision come.

Faith was in the city in back of a place similar to Splash, except more like a bar. She looked around the back alley and saw two large doors, one a fire exit. Across from her were cars, bins, and the doors of another establishment. She knew it was late, around 11:30 PM to 12ish.

Five women dressed in black uniforms came out laughing.

“I can’t believe you put up with that grabbing, Lexie. I would have poured his drink over him. The arsehole, just because he’s the owner’s brother doesn’t excuse it.”

The one called Lexie laughed. “I know, but he’s so cute.”

All the girls laughed harder. A small, blonde, pixie-like woman spoke up this time. “My God, he’s only eighteen now, just think what he’ll be like in his eighties. He’ll definitely give the phrase ‘dirty old man’ a new meaning.”

They laughed harder, then the one called Lexie and a tall, black-haired woman with green eyes turned pale. They looked at each other then said together, “We need to leave now. Come on, quick, to our cars.”

They grabbed the three other women and started running down the alley, where Faith saw a small parking area of about fifteen to twenty cars. The three women asked Lexie and Stacy to stop scaring them, but the women ignored their companions. They didn’t make it halfway before they were surrounded by three huge demons and about fifteen minions.

One of the demons stepped forward. “We only want you two.” He pointed to Lexie and Stacy then turned to the minions. “You may kill and feed on the others.”

They attacked as the girls screamed.

Faith came out of the vision with a splitting migraine, a sense of direction, and a rough estimate of how long they had. She yelled, not realizing she was in Jaime’s arms on the lounge.

“Call your father, Jamie. We have to go ASAP. Please, call now. I don’t have time to explain everything twice. Tell him we’ll need back-up.”

Five minutes later Jack, Rane, Blake, Devlin, and a human major named Samuel Black arrived. Faith stared at the major then turned to Rane.

“No offense to the major over there, but why the hell is he here? Rane, I thought you handled all military? Aren’t you in charge anymore?”

“No offense taken,” the major said even as he scowled at her.

She stared at them until Rane sighed and ran his hands over his head. “The humans have decided they need to see how bad it is, what it takes to fight them. It’s getting so bad, and we can’t be everywhere. They’re seeing the ramification, so they want to help. Plus, the number of missing people in the last five years has tripled, so they want to help find them. They sent Major Black to see what we’re up against. I think we’re going to need the help if what you’ve told us you saw is coming, and from what’s been happening lately on our nightly watches, I feel you’re right.”

Faith sighed. “Well, we could use him for this one because there are three non-supernaturals, and if we need to go to the hospital his clearance could come in handy.” Faith told them about the vision, explaining that she knew the direction and had a feeling of where to go and a rough time. “I’ll go with you and feel my way like I did before. This time I have a better sense of when everything is going to happen.”

The five werewolves said, “No! You’re not coming.”

She glared at them all. “You have no choice. All your patrols are out, you even have your spares out, there are five women who are going to need someone to help them. I have the weapons and I trained with you all. You’re taking him!” She pointed at the major.

Jack shook his head. “No way, Faith. He’s military trained, seen battles before, been in them.”

Faith smiled at Jack. “So have I. Or have you forgotten that the other night I helped take down a demon? Come on, Jack. I’ll be really careful to stay away from the demons and only save the women, calm them, and help them. Come on, please. You have every available werewolf out there.”

She tried not to smile as five men groaned in defeat.

“You have fifteen minutes to get ready,” Jack said. “I’ll stay here close to central, monitoring movement. Make sure you phone in any new information. Any teams close by that aren’t busy I’ll send to help. Faith, if anything happens to you I will throttle you personally.”

Faith nodded at Jack before she rushed off to get ready.

Chapter 9

Faith was ready ten minutes later with fitted, black leather pants, a black singlet top, and a pink leather knife vest which she shook her head at because it pushed her assets up like an offering. It had been a present from Jamie on her eighteenth birthday that was meant as a joke, or so she thought. She came out of the room tying a band on her braid, to four slacked-jawed werewolves.

“Holy shit, and you said I suck at giving presents. All you need now is knee-high, fuck-me boots and a whip, then you’re about every guys’ walking wet dream.”

Faith rolled her eyes at Jamie, smiling. “Lucky for me I have the shit-kickers Rane bought me for my eighteenth birthday. You guys really know how to buy a girl a present. To think you have four sisters.” She shook her head.

Faith heard Jack chuckle before he turned to remind them not to hesitate to call. He grabbed her by the arm as they were leaving. “Remember, Faith, use the long knife as an extension of your body. It’s a dance, and they’re your dance partners that aren’t allowed to touch you.”

She nodded and ran after the boys.

Jack yelled, “Rane, don’t forget that the major is your responsibility.”

They drove to the city in record time knowing they had roughly thirty minutes to find the place. They passed the nightclub district, heading for the restaurant and pub section. The sense of direction became stronger until Faith knew they were close. She told them to stop, and they all got out and started walking toward a pub called O’Malley’s. Just before they reached the alley they heard screams and ran to get to the women. Two of the demons had hold of Lexie and Stacy. The other three women were screaming against the alley wall, huddled together and trying to battle off minions.
