Kodiak Bloodlines - The Complete Series (12 page)

Declan nodded and went back to staring at his spot on the wall. Asher grinned and put his arm around Jordan as he led her out of the house. Once they were outside he said, “It’s killing him to wait. His nature is telling him to just go up those stairs and take her, but he’s afraid of traumatizing her further.” Jordan nodded and snuggled into her mate’s side as they walked. She was glad that Declan was willing to wait. Sonja was a lot more obstinate than she was. If he went in before she was ready, he would definitely have a fight on his hands.

They walked until they came to a meadow. It was glrious. 

The meadow was a glorious breadth of grass and colorful wild flowers. The grass rustled gently in the breeze. There was a slim brook that flowed through it and the sound that it made as the water flowed across the smooth rocks was almost tranquilizing. Asher sat down alongside it and reached up for Jordan. She let herself be pulled down next to him. He kissed the side of her face and said,

“Things will be the way they should be again soon.”

“I’ve been so wrapped up in Sonja that I haven’t thought about Lennox and Jude. What is Cyprus planning on doing about them?”

“He’s working on a plan. He’ll let us know when he’s ready. He’s not going to let them live, Jordan. They’re too much of a threat at this point. Are you okay with that?”

She looked up into his crystal blue eyes and said, “Absolutely...as long as I get to be there when it happens.” He brought his mouth down and caught her lips with his. Their tongues danced seductively and she held on to him tightly. The thought that she might have spent her life with someone else suddenly occurred to her and she shuddered hard. He pulled his head back and looked at her.

“Do you want me Jordan?”

She grinned, “More than life,” she said, hoarsely. He let the hand that rested on her hip gather the material of her dress and without a word; he ripped it from her body. Cupping her chin and tilting her face up towards his he kissed her again, sucking her bottom lip into his mouth and nibbling on it. He felt her smile against his lips as her hands gathered the front of his shirt. With little effort, she ripped it from his body. He grinned too, especially when he felt her hands snaking down to his pants and unfastening them. As she did that, she brought her mouth down to his chest and latched her teeth onto one of his nipples. He growled and wrapped her hair up into his fists, pulling her deeper into his chest. While she bit and sucked at his nipples her hands went back down to his waist and he lifted up and allowed her to slide his pants down over his hips. She didn’t hesitate, taking his long, thick cock between both of her hands and beginning to stroke it.

“Oh baby...put your mouth on me.”

She made her way down, licking and sucking at the flesh across his hard abs until her lips met the tip of his already dripping cock. She sucked him into her mouth and the taste of him awakened more of the beast inside of her. She sucked and licked with reckless abandon, causing him to moan and groan and growl in ecstasy. Finally, unable to take it any longer he reached down and pulled her up to straddle him. He cupped her face again and kissed her long and deep and then he pulled her up towards his head, settling her down over his face. His hands caressed her legs as she felt him breathing in the scent of her. Then his tongue reached out and slipped between the lips of her pussy and it began a little dance up inside of her. She had her eyes closed and her head thrown back, her long blonde hair shimmered in the sun as Asher pleasured her with his expert mouth and tongue. He sucked her clit into his mouth and bit down on it, making her scream. She reached down and grabbed his hair, raking her fingernails across his scalp as she shoved his face deeper into her. He sucked harder on her clit as she rocked back and forth on his face. Her breaths were growing shorter and her moans had turned into sharp little desperate whimpers. He reached up and slipped a thick finger inside of her while he sucked her clit and that was what sent her hurtling over the edge. A growl rose up out of his chest as the animal in him took over and he began to lap at her wildly. She had an orgasm like nothing she’d ever felt before, it left her shuddering and shaking violently, inside and out.

When she stopped shaking and her breathing began to return to normal, he slid her back down to his waist and then grabbing her back, he rolled them over in the grass so he was on top of her and then he bent her head down and began to lick and suck and bite at her neck. She felt like her head would explode as she kept raising her hips up, wanting him to shove his cock up inside of her. She wrapped her arms around him, loving his warmth and feeling more safe and protected than she ever had in her life...and highly aroused at the same time. She let out a pleading whimper and without hesitation he buried himself up inside of her. He groaned loudly and she yelped in pleasure. She began rocking her hips against him as he plunged his hard cock in and out of her. They fell into a perfect rhythm and she pressed her head back into the deep grass, completely enthralled with the feelings he was evoking in her.

After a bit he rolled them again so that she was on top. She rested her hands on his hard chest and clenched down tightly on him. He growled and pulled her down into his chest and their arms tangled up together as her hips rose up and down on his throbbing cock. She felt his body tense and he let out a long, primal sounding groan as he released himself into her. Then he pulled her back down into his chest and they lay there entwined in each other’s arms, hearts beating in time with each other and panting in orgasmic pleasure.

Chapter 5

––––––––

S
onja stood looking at the man everyone was suddenly telling her she was supposed to mate with. She’d completely rejected the idea of mating with anyone not of her choosing ...but something about the memories that were coming to her in bits and pieces told her that perhaps she had chosen him...a long time ago. He’d looked up as soon as she stepped into his line of vision and for several minutes, they’d just been staring at each other. Finally she walked over and sat down next to him, not close enough to touch, but close enough that she wanted to. He looked at her with those sexy blue eyes and waited patiently for her to speak.

“I remember...things.”

He smiled. “That’s great. What do you remember?”

She looked down at her hands in her lap and said, “I remember Alpha Papa and Alpha Mamma. I remember how much they loved me and Jordan and how happy we used to be.”

When she didn’t say anything else he asked her, “Is this the first you’ve remembered of them?”

She shook her head. “No, I’ve always had memories of them, but they were sketchy and kind of foggy. Today I remembered the entire day leading up to...” She sucked in a shaky breath and when she let it out, the tears she’d been holding onto all day broke loose and began to spill down her cheeks. “I miss them so much!” Declan cautiously moved closer to her and put his arm around her. She laid her head into his chest and he held her while she cried. “I remember being with Jordan, picking berries and then hearing her call out for them over and over. Lennox and Sable were suddenly there and we were taken to Willow and after that it was like they wanted us to forget our lives before them existed. But they did exist. I remember turning and running with my sister...” she pushed against him gently so she could sit up and she looked at his face. “And you...I remember you and Asher, running and playing with us in the fields.” He reached down and cupped her face.

“Those memories are rightfully yours and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t take them away from you forever.”

“They made us believe they were the good guys. We were unfaithful to our own kind...feared them, hated them...for fourteen years. They cheated us out of our childhood...all of us. Even you and Asher were cheated out of yours.”

Declan nodded. “They took our mother,” he leaned down and gently swiped his lips across hers and said, “And they tried to take our future.”

She pulled back slightly. She could see raw desire in his eyes and she wondered if he could see it in hers too. She felt it; it was a deep ache in the center of her core. She wanted this man and she no longer doubted that he was her mate...but she was still remembering things, and she was still a little frightened of it all. She put her small hand on the side of his face and said, “I can feel it when I’m around you, Declan. I always knew that was how it was supposed to be...although I wasn’t sure what it would feel like. I felt it last night when you carried me out of that house. As frightened and confused as I was, I felt that connection. I’m not going to keep fighting it, Declan...but I need a little time to get used to it all.” He reached up and covered her hand with his and said,

“Take it. I’ve thought about you every day since that awful day fourteen years ago. But, I never once considered not waiting for you. Take the time to get accustomed to your memories and when you’re ready I will be here.”

She used the hand on his face to pull him down towards her face and pressed her lips into his. His lips were so warm and soft. She let her lips part and felt his tongue slide seductively into her mouth. He kissed her possessively. She was his and he was leaving no question about it. She felt his hand slide down to her waist and she was re-thinking what she’d said about needing time...until she heard her sister’s voice.

“Sonja!” She and Declan pulled apart slowly and he looked into her eyes and grinned before letting her turn towards her sister. “You’re...” 

Jordan seemed to be at a loss for what to call it. Sonja grinned and said, “Kissing my mate?” Jordan squealed and flung herself across the room towards her sister. They embraced and Sonja whispered,

“Thank you for saving me.”

“You’re my sister...my blood. I will always be there to save you.”

*****

A
week had gone by and Sonja slowly acclimated to her new and rightful life. The others in the village welcomed her home heartily and some of them left gifts for her on their doorstep. She spent time with her sister and her grandmother and she spent even more time with Declan. He showed her around the village and took her out into the woods and showed her their lands. On the third day as they were walking through a meadow, she asked him to change for her. She watched as he stripped off his clothes. She’d seen him without them already, but this private, just for her strip was almost more than her raging libido could take. His body was sculpted, every muscle taut and perfectly shaped. His maleness was unmistakable and sometimes late at night Sonja wondered if it would even be possible for him to fit inside of her. Regardless, she tingled when she thought about it and she found herself wet and her temperature high.

She’d seen Jordan change now quite a few times, but as she watched Declan changing that day in the meadow she experienced something she never had before. Something deep down inside of her awoke and boiled to the surface. It was something powerful and it urgently wanted to be released. It was her inner animal and after she’d watched his transformation and the huge black panther with the blue eyes walked over and rubbed himself against her...the only thing she could think about was mating with him. He was the most incredible creature she’d ever seen and she wanted nothing more than to be his mate and bear his cubs.

That had been three days ago, and now as Cyprus, Declan and Asher sat around the table with Sage and Erza, discussing the plan to go back to Anchorage, Jordan and Sonja sat not far off with their grandmother, listening to her regale them with stories of when their father was young. Sonja had to work hard to keep her mind on what her grandmother was saying. She could smell Declan’s masculine scent from where she sat and each time he glanced over at her she felt an electric shock coarse through her body. She shivered and focused her attention back on her grandmother as she was saying,

“Your father was born an Alpha. From the time he was little, be it his friends or his family or the villagers that collected around him, trying to get close to the boy who would someday be their leader...He commanded with authority...but also with compassion and respect. His pack adored him and when he was old enough to take over as Alpha and he chose your mother to mate with, everyone in the village was ecstatic. At the mating ceremony, hundreds of Kodiak’s turned out and it was the grandest celebration that the village had ever seen. It went on for three days, even after the newly mated couple had gone off to run and play in the wilderness together alone for a couple of days before returning home to the responsibility of leading the pack.”

“How long were they mated before they had us?” Jordan asked her.

“Two years into their mating you were born, Jordan.”

“I delivered you,” Erza said from her seat at the table. Jordan looked over at her and smiled. She stopped to give Asher a look that told him she was dying to frolic with him underneath the moon again tonight as they had the three nights previously. Turning her attention to Erza she said,

“Was my father disappointed that I was a girl?”

“Not at all,” she said. “I wrapped you in skins and then I carried you out where almost the entire village was waiting...I announced your arrival and the whole village cheered. They brought gifts to your parent’s door day after day until your father told them your family had enough and would like to share their blessings with others. That began a tradition of taking food and whatever extra the villagers had and giving them to one another...especially if you knew someone who needed it, rather than exchanging gifts on holidays. It was such a happy time for your parents...both of them. Then they became doubly blessed because Sonja was born a year later. During the year in between, Atticus had forged a strong friendship with another born leader...Cyprus. Slater. Cyprus had two young boys and the families became the best of friends. Atticus made Cyprus his second in command.” She chuckled and looked over at Asher.

“What?” Jordan asked her.

“I was just thinking of the first time that Asher looked into the crib and saw you lying there. You were looking up at him with those beautiful eyes and he looked at Cyprus and said, “Papa, is this my mate?” Your father’s looked at each other, surprised and then they laughed and Atticus said, “When she’s much older Asher.”
