Moon Sworn (The Bound Series Book 1) (17 page)

'Jaden it's your cat, your cat is too close, pull him back, you're hurting my head.  Your hands are too tight in my hair,'
she felt his shock and heard him take a breath.

'Shit, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
.' He went to pull away and release her but she held him to her, her tongue again stroking over the tip, then running beneath the crown.  He groaned in the back of his throat and his hips bucked his hand tightening again as he pushed against her lips, the tip breaching and slipping inside.

'So good, that feels so fucking good
,' he whispered in her mind.

'Take more, I need you to take more Maya, open up and let me in.
' He looked down at her, watching as she complied, allowing him to thrust slowly into the tight, hot, moist cavern of her mouth.  His hips bucked again as she rubbed her tongue over his length as he pulled back and he thrust forward again taking it a little deeper.

'Breathe through your nose, you can do it, take more for me,
' he ground out, his eyes squeezing tightly as her mouth stretched to accommodate him.

'Put your hand back on the handle bars for me, do it now Maya
.' He felt her breath hiss over him as she slowly lifted her arm above her head again, gripping the handlebar as he asked.

Using the hand he still had in her hair he began to move her head in the rhythm he craved.  Moving her up and down his length, watching her eyes before lowering his own to watch her breasts rise and fall as her nostrils flared with each breath she took.  He'd never seen anything as hot as the sight of her lay there trusting him not to hurt her, not to take it too far before she was ready.  He looked down the length of her body, and groaned as he touched the back of her throat, it wasn’t enough he needed more suction.  He'd no sooner had the thought than her mouth tightened around him and he looked back up to see her cheeks hollow out as she sucked him deeper into her mouth.  He thrust a little deeper, and he felt her panic and pulled back.

'It's okay Maya you'd have to learn to control your gag reflex for me to go further.  This is enough for now, you've no idea how good this feels, so fucking hot
.' 

His thigh muscles were burning, and he had to pull back or he was going down her throat, and he wanted inside her body.  He pushed back the cat and pulled out, then carefully slung his leg over the seat of his bike and lifted her hips, sliding beneath her.

'Hold on, don't let go.
' He lifted her and positioned himself at her entrance then slammed home, holding still once he was fully seated inside her.  Savouring the feeling of her tight muscles and flesh as it slowly stretched, making way before squeezing around him.  A tight, snug fit that strangled him as he began to move, lifting her hips up and into him.  He held her to him, keeping her hips snug against his groin and her thighs wide as he maneuvered her with a hand on each buttock.  Watching himself disappear and reappear from her body as he sped up, her knuckles white from gripping onto his handle bars.  Her jacket open and top still above her breasts but he'd left them on purposely so the top for the gas tank filler didn't cause any damage to her skin.  He could feel her shaking as he slammed into her to the hilt over and over but she wasn’t getting there, she wasn't tipping over the edge.  His balls were so tight he could feel the tingle in his spine and he grit his teeth trying to hold off because he refused to go without her.  He made sure she was looking at him as he gave her a cocky grin, then made the most of his flexible spine.  Bending forward as he sank into her and sucked that little bundle of nerves into his mouth at the top of her sex on his inward glide, flicking it with his tongue as he gave a lazy deep thrust.  That was all it took, her inner muscles clamp down on him like a vice and he had no choice but to let go with her.  He sat back and held still as that first explosive release left him, making him light headed then continued to thrust, each one another jet shot high inside her, bathing her inner walls until he was spent.  She wasn't though, and he continued to push through her orgasm with her, enjoying the burn of the rhythmic squeezing.  All he wanted to do now was roll over and sleep but his body had other ideas, his body was far from finished. 

'You and me both Tiddles
,' she whispered in his mind.  Maya was absolutely wrung out, no energy at all, her legs felt like jelly and her breath was sawing in and out of her abused lungs.  He watched her from slumberous eyes, his hands releasing her buttocks as his thumbs now played where they were still joined, he ran them up and down her folds, spreading all the moisture now pooled there.

'Round-two
?' he asked raising a dark brow as he continued to thrust into her, not quite as hard as before but definitely not flaccid either.

'
I can't move, I think my hands are welded to your handle bars
,' she admitted and half laughed, which made him groan and that semi hard erection he'd had, went instantly solid as he came back to screaming life.  He bent forward, over her, so he could prise open her fingers, pulling her over his lap so she was straddling him on the seat.  He was still moving as he wrapped her still limp arms around his neck and put his around her waist.

'Now if this was legal, it would make a hell of a way to get around,' he informed her as he again picked up the pace.  His hands dropping from her waist to her backside once more so he could move her on and off his body.  He nuzzled his way down her neck to her breasts so he could suck and nibble at them as he continued riding her.  He gave her left nipple one last lick and kissed his way back up her chest to her mouth as he increased his speed, using a hand to slam her down on him as he rotated his hips on the upwards glide, groaning as she sucked on his tongue.  He felt his dick kick up inside her and swell, the tingle starting in his balls again as she again began to tighten around him.  On each movement he made sure to keep her flush against him so the angle put pressure on that little bundle of nerves.  Her mouth opened breaking the kiss as her eyes locked on his, they were wide and shocked as he sent her over again before following her.

Maya lay sprawled all over Jaden, limp as a rag doll and feeling like her bones were made of jelly, she didn't even have the energy to hold up her arms.  Her breathing was still a little quick, and he held her to her, running a hand down her hair that had completely come out of the confines she's had it in.  Not that his rough treatment or the helmet had helped its state either.  His breathing was nowhere near as laboured as hers, his heart rate had increased slightly but was still beating strongly beneath her ear.  She was plastered to him and he was the only thing stopping her from collapsing to the floor in a heap.

'Round three?' he asked hopefully, and she just snorted and felt him grin against her hair.

'I think we need to stop feeding you Tiddles, you have far too much energy.'  His stomach took that moment to protest.

'Actually, you haven't fed me at all.  Look at me I'm wasting away,' he told her and pulled back slightly.

Maya leaned back against his arms and let her eyes trail down his still fully clothed body.  The tight t-shirt, hugging every line and dip in his body from those lickable pecs that ran into those ridges that ran down his abdomen.  His waist and hips were slim and his thighs again were muscular, but not overly so, they looked powerful. 

Jaden felt her eyes on him like a brand, one that scorched him everywhere they landed.  He felt himself harden again at the blatant appraisal and his dick jerked again inside her.  Her eyes flew to his, showing shock and a little trepidation and he couldn't blame he, he really couldn't.  He should have been well sated but his body really wasn’t co-operating at the moment.  He knew she wasn't up to it though, she really wasn’t.  She was too new to all his, which in itself made his chest swell knowing he was the only man who'd ever seen her like this, well-loved and satisfied.  He'd done that, he'd given her that heavy lidded look and bee-stung lips, he'd definitely done her thoroughly but now he needed to leave her to rest.

He slowly pulled his body from hers, hissing as he again slid along those tight muscles that seemed to want to keep him there, as they tried to pull him back.

"Come on Maya, let's get you cleaned up.  Then I'll take you back and you can rest for an hour.  I'll keep my eye on the place and keep your safe."

She just nodded, she was incapable of movement, there was no way she would be able to control her limbs, they still felt like rubber, there was no way they were going to hold her weight.

"Will it be like this when you bind us?" Maya asked with a yawn and she tried to look at him through blurry eyes, but her lids were too heavy to keep open.

"
You want to take the bond?'

"Of course, I mean I get a man who's willing to put his life before mine.  I'd be mad not to," she shrugged.  "Plus I've always wanted to climb these trees, I guess as a cat I finally get that chance huh Tiddles?" she said on a yawn.  Jaden smiled against her mouth as he gave her a gentle kiss.

Her resilience amazed him, she didn't seem to let things phase her at all.  She just took it and moved on.  No drama, no theatrics, nothing.  She absolutely fascinated him and that worried him slightly, but he'd work with it, he'd think of something.

Maya could hear the gears working in his brain as he tried to work out the angle.  She nearly laughed out loud at that one, she'd explain it to him one day but not today she was too tired.

Chapter Eleven

A Week Later:-

Maya woke to the scent of bacon wafting up the stairs, she rolled over and squinted at the clock, 7.30am, then tried to figure out the day, her brain was still half asleep.  It was Saturday, no work today, non all week actually after bossy Kitty had spat out the dummy about her being around other males.  He'd also bought up most of the shares in the small call centre she worked so she'd need to find something else soon, there was no way she was working for him, he was an arrogant arse at times but he also wore her out, and could be sweet.  He was a complex man, so many facets to his character it was like several people all rolled into one.

Thinking of Jaden, she wondered why he was already up this early on a weekend.  Then she remembered that today was 'D' day for them, the last full moon of the month as it was her 26th Birthday next week.  That meant tonight was the last night they could do the binding ceremony Jaden had run out of time, quicker than he realised, well according to Sam.  He'd been really edgy, his cat was a little difficult, she'd had to stop going into the coffee shop and spending time with Binks and Sam.  Jaden tried to hold back and keep quiet but she'd watched him pace, his eyes and head turning and fixing on the other male as he'd spoken to her and Sam had said it was better she leaves for a while.  She stretched in bed and rolled over, maybe just another 5-minutes, that's all she needed, the man had the stamina of a locomotive, he wore her out.

She'd spent the last week getting to know her mother, she liked her as a person and she loved her being around.  The good memories from her childhood had begun to resurface, memories that didn't include her psycho father, life was good at the moment well apart from psycho dad and company.  They were the only black spots on their horizon.  It was as if they'd vanished into thin air, even though people were now searching for them. Maybe Jaden, Sam and Binks giving chase had been enough to put them off?  Maybe realising that a lot of immortals lived here, were all sticking together and searching for them had finally been enough to convince them to move on?  She could dream couldn’t she?  It was after all basically her wedding night; well the shifter equivalent of a wedding that is. 

Jaden stood at the hob, flipping bacon in a frying pan and waiting for the smell to wake Maya.  She was not a morning person, and he wasn't sure if it was because he'd woken her at least twice a night for the last week or if she just wasn't a morning person.  Time would tell, but he did love teasing her, she definitely had spark, and a quick mind.  He'd managed to talk her out of going back to work at the call centre in the next village.  She didn't particularly enjoy the work and with him threatening to accompany her and sit next to her at her desk she'd given in and had arranged some time off.  He'd done a little digging into the company while she'd been getting to know her mother, within earshot of him as he wasn't happy letting her out of his sight.  She'd also taken time away from the coffee shop as his cat went nuts when she was around the other males, even though logically he knew they weren't a threat to her his cat wasn't having it.  Sam had explained that it would settle once they were bound but until then he couldn't have them near her, so he still hadn't had the time to get to know his brother, or visit their parent's grave. 

To keep himself occupied for the last week, well, when he'd not managed to coax Maya back into the bedroom, he'd been doing a little buying and selling himself. His company could deal with other people's stocks and shares but he did his own. He'd found the small telecommunication's company where Maya worked was in a little bit of trouble.  So over a cup of coffee he'd bought up enough stock to gain a majority share in the company. It was a good investment for his own portfolio and with the right management it should do well, so in theory he was now her boss so he could decide when she did and didn't work.  When he'd told her, he'd gained a company and lost an employee as she'd resigned. She said he was a tyrant, and he'd run them ragged if he had as much stamina in the office that he had in the bedroom. 

The bedroom had been another revelation to him, he actually liked fucking in a bed who'd have guessed.  He heard a growl in his head and realised she was awake, she said his language was a little too raw for her.  He grinned as he thought about trying to coax her into using a few of those words, she was stubborn though and tenacious, luckily so was he.  He'd wear her down, eventually.

Maya had spent the day around the house with Jaden, tying to relax but she was nervous.  Tonight she was going to bind her life to a man she'd know for just over a week.  She heard laughter in her head.

'A week, really.  So what was the last 5-years, doesn't that count Maya?'

'Oh, go away, stay out of my head.  Nothing you hear at the moment will be good
.
Shit Jaden, I know I'm doing the right thing here but I'm going to have a few hang-ups, okay
.'

Jaden walked into the front room where she was curled up in the chair, legs pulled up and arms wrapped around them.

"So what exactly are you worried about?" he asked her moving into the room.

Maya looked up, her chin resting on her knees, he was stood wearing faded jeans that fit him like a second skin.  A white t-shirt that looked like it had been made for him, which it probably had with his money she thought.  He was fit, good looking, and she didn't have a clue what he was doing with her?  He was watching her, arms crossed across that chest she loved to lick and he had a tea towel slung carelessly over his shoulder.  He'd just been washing their dinner pots.  Her mother had left them alone after lunch and it had given her way too much time to think.

"What is worrying you Maya?" Jaden repeated coming to sit on the arm of the sofa opposite her and waiting, he stayed out of her head.  There were too many things running around in there for him to make sense of anyway.

"I don't know how I feel about shifting, not really.  I know I've seen you shift once but…" she shrugged.

"Argh, right.  Okay then, we can put this one to rest very easily." Jaden said and stood up and took the tea towel off his shoulder, dropping it on the arm of the chair.  His hand went to the waist of his t-shirt and he pulled it up and over his head with one hand dropping that there too. He toed off his shoes and socks, and unbuttoned and unzipped his jeans, shrugging out of them before leaning down and picking them up.  He was extremely tidy, and he picked them up and placed them on his other clothing all nearly folded.

Maya watched him broodingly from her perch, rubbing her chin backwards and forwards over her knuckles that were resting on her knees.  He was something else to look at and she wanted him constantly, it was embarrassing, especially as she was still worried about him binding her to him and then walking.  They'd not disgusted it since she'd found out about the consequences for him of her not going through with it.  She couldn't do that to him, she just couldn't.  He may walk away at some point but at least he'd still be alive, that she could cope with, the other wasn't an option anymore.  She was afraid she was already a little in love with him, how could she not be, he cooked, cleaned, looked out for her and he always knew what to say when she was unsure.

"Maya, you need to pay attention." She looked up guiltily and bit her lip as he stood there in the middle of the living room completely naked, her eyes drawn to the part of him that always seemed ready.  He cleared his throat, as he started to grow, it was impossible not to with her eyes practically devouring him. Man he loved what she did to his body but then again he also loved her body.  It was his solace and his playground and the sex was off the scales.  She was also the only woman in his very long life that he'd ever felt sated with.  She didn't put up with any shit and he found it a little scary how quickly he'd gotten used to having her around.  He'd gone from being a loner and sleeping alone to not being able to sleep if he wasn’t wrapped around her.  He fell asleep listening to the sound of her sleeping.  Her gentle regular breaths were his lullaby, and he woke to find himself craving her body; grumpy or not.  She was an enigma and a pool of tranquillity all rolled into one and he wasn't sure he'd be able to walk away from her. He pushed away the thoughts to carry on with the reason he was presently stood here naked, with no possibility of action.

"Anyway, watch.  Your body will know what to do.  All you do is think 'come forth', you'll always feel the cat after the binding because it's part of you, and not a separate entity.  The cat is you, so just mentally step back and it will come forward, it may look painful but trust me it's not.  There is no feeling better than running in cat form, well maybe the second best feeling because I have found something else that beats it hands down." He winked at her and held out his hands.

"Now don't be afraid.  I am not your father and I promise you that even as a cat I know who you are.  Plus my cat is mated to you too, it’s a 2 for one kind of deal."

Maya watched as his body began to transform before her, one minute he was a large, tall man, the next a large black jaguar stood in his place.  She'd sat transfixed as his face had changed widening as the muzzle formed and his skin darkened as fur grew in its place.  She'd seen his bones stretching and twisting as he finally went over onto all fours.  He was big even for a cat and her breathing picked up because he really was big.  She bit her lip and edged further into the chair, her hands shaking slightly as the large head lifted and those amber feline eyes fixed on her.  He made like a grunting noise, and began slowly to move towards her, those shoulders rolling smoothly.  She pushed herself further into the chair as he padded closer, his head coming to above the arm. 

The cat was beautiful, jet black glossy fur that shone with health.  He seemed to just be black until she looked closer and noticed the slightly lighter rosettes imprinted within the fur.

'You're safe with me Maya, I would never harm you
,' Jaden whispered in her mind and she looked at the cat, it blinked and its mouth opened and she froze.  The cat pulled back slightly and made that strange rumbling like bark sound again, a little like the noise a dog makes when it's upset or wants to go out.  Only it was deeper.  Jaden snorted in her head.

'Really, you think I want to be let out to go pee
?'  Maya rolled her eye before tentatively holding her hand out towards him.  The large head of the cat came closer, nuzzling into her hand, the tongue came lapping at her skin and her breath left her on a whoosh as she snatched her hand back.  The cat moved his head from side to side then pushed forward again and she slowly put her hand out, running it along the feline's cheek.  His fur was silky soft and thick and she itched to bury her fingers in it and feel the texture properly.  She continued her exploration and moved on over the top of the head and around the ears.  Once she got to the sleek back, she couldn't resist and sank her fingers in to the velvet softness, stunned by the luxurious feel.  She didn't mess too long though as although it was Jaden, who she was stunned to realise she felt safe with, but he was also a very big cat.  Reluctantly she retrieved her hand, but the cat followed her hand, coming closer before rubbing itself against her like an average house cat would.  The move made her laugh nervously and swallow.

'You okay
?' Jaden asked, and she nodded and smiled into his eye before edging forward on her seat and putting her face against the cats head, then rubbed her cheek against it.  He made a rumbling, purring sound, and it was so shocking to her that she pulled back and looked at him.  Blinking a few times in disbelief as the mouth of the cat opened as if he was smiling.

'
Okay Tiddles, we're good.  Thank you for your patience, but can I have Jaden, the man back now please
.'  He gave a grunt and licked her chin, snorting in her face and making her laugh.  He stepped back and then reversed the shift while she watched as he slowly stretched out and went from 4 legs, to 2 again.  His back straightening as he once again stood upright, his muzzle shrinking and his fur disappearing.  Jaden was once again before her completely naked with not an ounce of modesty.

"You okay?" she nodded trying not to stare.

"Yeah, I'm good thank you."

"Anytime," he winked and scooped his clothing up off the arm of the chair, bending for his socks and shoes.  Her eyes followed his every move as his muscles flexed, and they travelled over his shoulders and down his back before landing on his backside, his very round, firm backside and she bit her lip.

"Maya," Jaden groaned in warning feeling her eyes travel over his body, like the delicate stroke of her fingers. "I need a cold shower now," he mumbled and left the front room, padding up the stairs to the sound of her laughter.

"Oh Maya, the washer has finished so you can peg it out as I'm now having to take a cold shower to get rid of the boner you caused." Her laughter increased, and he shook his head with a grin, happy he'd helped dispel some of her fears.  Pushing through the bathroom door he walked into the shower cubicle and turned on the water and gritted his teeth as the stinging cold of the water hit his heated skin.

Maya hummed under her breath as she pulled open the back door, and stepped out into the back garden, washing basket under her arm.  She'd put the last load on just before they'd sat down to dinner with her mother.  She was finally feeling hopeful for her future, well immediate anyway.  Jaden had really helped put some of her fears about the change to rest for her.   From behind her she heard him through the open bathroom window and grinned as he swore up a storm about women and cold water while he was in the shower.  Shaking her head, she turned and went to put the washing basket down on the ground when something slammed into her.
