Seduced by Magic (15 page)

Tiernan must have sensed her need for roughness because he rubbed his face hard against her pussy and thighs and thrust three fingers into her channel.

When he nipped her clit her climax nearly made her drop to her knees. Her legs wobbled and she had to fist her hands tighter in his hair. Only his firm grip on her hips kept her from falling as her orgasm melted every bone in her body until she felt like a rag doll. He didn't stop licking and sucking until she begged him to. She was barely aware of golden bubbles of light floating around them.

He got to his feet and caught her as she collapsed against his chest. His skin felt hard and warm beneath her cheek and it took a moment to gather herself. When she finally raised her head, he immediately took her mouth, kissing just as roughly as he had licked and sucked her
pussy. She tasted herself on his tongue, smelled her juices on his face, and the tingle in her belly magnified, giving her renewed strength. She felt as though she could actually stand on her own two feet.

Copper drew away from him and skimmed her fingers down his chest to his cock. To her satisfaction it was as hard as it had been the first time he'd taken her. She grabbed the waist of his leather pants and tugged them farther down so that his pants rode low on his hips. “I need you out of these.”

He cupped her cheek and rubbed his thumb along her jawline. “Godsdamn, you are beautiful.”

“The pants.” She gave another tug so that they were down around his ass. “Don't try to distract me.”

Tiernan backed away and shucked off his boots as she watched. Goddess, was he a cliché. Perfect physique, broad shoulders and chest, and long blond hair that went a little beyond his shoulders. Trim hips and an ass she just wanted to bite—not to mention a cock that had just filled her so well she didn't think she'd ever be satisfied with another man—unless he was hung and built like Tiernan. His thigh muscles worked as he kicked off his pants and she sighed. “Damn, but a guy like you could ruin a girl for other men.”

His look was heated as he stepped away from his clothing and brought her up against him. The feel of his flesh against hers, his chest to her breasts, his cock to her belly, his thighs against hers—she thought she'd melt all over again. He kissed her hard before she slipped out of his grasp and slid down his length to her knees.

Tiernan had never met a woman like Copper. He had never wanted a woman as much as he wanted her.

The moment she took his cock and wrapped her fingers around it, he groaned—and when she slipped his erection deep into her mouth he thought he had never felt anything so exquisite in his life.

“Gods, little fire.” He fisted his hands tighter in her hair as she moved her mouth and one hand along his length, while using her other hand to stroke his balls. “I am certain I could fuck you all night long.”

Copper responded by meeting his gaze with hers and flicking her tongue around the crown of his cock in a slow, sensual movement. Her eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief as she let his erection slip from her mouth and blew softly on the head.

She was going to kill him.

When he growled and brought her face closer to his groin, she gave a soft laugh before taking him deep into her mouth again, as far as she could. She began sucking him in earnest, moving her hand up his shaft at the same time she slid her mouth down him, while fondling his balls. She gave a gentle squeeze as she scraped her teeth along his erection and he almost climaxed.

Tiernan gritted his teeth. The oncoming orgasm was traveling through him like a storm.

The storm broke loose.

Lightning flashed in his mind as his seed shot down Copper's throat. He groaned his release, his hips jerking against her face as she continued to suck him.

With his body still shuddering from his orgasm, he forced her to stop by pulling back at the same time he tugged at her hair to draw her away from him. If she did not stop he was going to collapse into a heap—rather undignified for a warrior.

She gave him a knowing grin before rising. “That good, huh?”

He growled and released her hair to take her by the shoulders and help her stand. “Your teasing will only lead me to fuck you again, woman.”

“I damn sure hope so.” She tilted her head and he kissed her, a hard kiss full of the insistent desire that would not release him.

He wanted to be gentle with her, but he could not. Just kissing her slammed him with more need and desire than he thought could ever be quenched. How could he feel this way with one woman, a woman he had just met?

But it already felt as though she were a part of him.

Copper woke the next morning with her face against Tiernan's chest, her head tucked under his chin. They were still naked and she reveled in the feel of his bare flesh against hers. His thigh was slung over her hip and, if she wasn't mistaken, he had a full-on morning erection.

She was so sore and it felt so damn good. The man's stamina was incredible—they'd fucked three more times after she'd given him head. She smiled. Maybe it was because he wasn't human. He was a man, but he was a Fae warrior and that obviously gave him more sexual endurance than any man she'd ever met.

Copper breathed deeply of his scent and the incredible sex they'd had. It could be due to the fact she hadn't had sex for over a year, but she had a feeling it was everything about him that made her want him so badly.

What had been really strange was that every time they reached orgasm, it seemed as if some kind of wild magic rocked her world.

Sex magic?

Sex magic could be incredibly powerful, she'd been told. She'd read that in Mrs. Illes's Grimoire, too.

Still cuddled in his arms, Copper skimmed one of her hands down his muscled chest to his taut abdomen, all the way to his cock. He felt so good beneath her palm. She loved the feel of the soft skin of his erection and the steel beneath it.

As soon as she wrapped her fingers around his length, he let out a sleepy groan. She smiled and pushed at his shoulder until he was lying on his back and she was straddling him. There was just enough room in the shelter that
she could ride him without bumping her head. With no hesitation, she took his cock and slowly sank onto it and sighed with pleasure.

“Woman, you are all fire,” he said as he grasped her small waist with his large hands while she rose up and down on him, taking him deep.

“With you, definitely.” She continued riding him in a smooth and steady rhythm as her gaze met his blue eyes. “All I want to do is feel you inside me.” She groaned as she felt her climax start to build within her. “And orgasm. Yeah, definitely orgasm.”

He gave what looked like a pained smile as his hips bucked up to meet hers and she rode him faster and harder until she gave a cry of sheer pleasure. She saw those golden bubbles in her mind as she climaxed, each one sparkling with every throb of her pussy.

Tiernan gave one last thrust of his cock and groaned as he pulsed inside her. She leaned forward and kissed him before snuggling against his chest, just enjoying the moment. Yes, what she felt with him was magic. Golden bubbles and all.

“Guess we'd better get up,” she finally said.

“Must we?” he asked in a teasing tone and Copper gave him another sound kiss.

Her belly rumbled and she laughed. “See? All this sex has made me hungry. We didn't even stop to eat last night.”

“Truth be, a D'Danann warrior cannot go long without food.” Man, did she ever love his sexy Irish brogue. He helped her roll off him and they climbed out of the shelter into the early morning sunlight.

After they both washed up with the chilly water in the basin, they slipped into their clothing. Fortunately Copper had thought to tuck them into the shelter before they slept or surely the Brownies or Pixies would have stolen them overnight.

To Copper's pleasure, the Faeries had left another large
breakfast that would tide them over for the afternoon, too. Just as she took a bite of an apple tart and Tiernan stuffed a piece of root bread that tasted like pumpkin into his mouth, Riona fluttered around the rock outcropping and landed on the shelf beside the food. Her long hair covered her breasts, but the rest of her was completely bare as usual.

“What's the special occasion?” Copper asked, gesturing to all the food.

The Faerie queen gave a mischievous smile. “The performance last night. I do not think we have seen anything like it in millennia.”

A hot flush crept up Copper's neck to her face and she heard Tiernan choke on his bread.

“I can't believe you watched.” Copper set her tart down and braced her hands on her hips. “Can't we have a little freaking privacy?”

Riona laughed. “I do believe that yesterday the Fae enjoyed more pleasures than they have since we have been trapped here.”

The heat in Copper's cheeks grew as she glared at the Faerie. Before Copper could say anything else, Riona flitted away, leaving behind a small cloud of Faerie dust.

Tiernan snorted back what sounded like laughter and Copper elbowed him. “Just eat, you big lug.”

When they finished eating, Copper did her morning workout. Tiernan watched with an expression that said he was either amused or impressed. He leaned against the apple tree while she did her pull-ups using one branch of the apple tree.

“Is this what you have done while you have been in this place?” he asked.

Copper tried not to look at him because he was just too distracting with all that blond hair and those muscles. “I had to stay in shape somehow.” She didn't even pant she was in such good shape. She had to keep adding reps just
to benefit from the exercises, and always tried to change her routine a bit.

When she finished her pull-ups, she landed lightly on the grass. “Let me guess. All you warriors are built that way and you don't even have to work at it.”

He shrugged the shoulder that wasn't against the tree. “We train and spar regularly on the training grounds. The peasants and the lords and ladies of the court do not perform the same activities as the warriors and do not have the same physiques. Very few of us who are of the court are also D'Danann Enforcers.”

“Peasants?” Copper picked up a big rock and started doing arm curls with it. Her biceps were well sculpted for a woman, without being overly muscular. She frowned at his comment. “You actually call people
peasants
?”

“Of course.” Tiernan pushed away from the tree as Copper switched hands and started working out her other bicep. “That is the way of this Otherworld.”

“So you're a lord, are you?” Copper grunted from the strain of working her muscles. “How did you become one?”

Tiernan folded his arms across his chest and widened his stance as he looked thoughtfully ahead. He looked so damn yummy in all that black leather. She especially liked that he wore a sleeveless shirt so that she could see his biceps flex with his movements.

“I was born into the House of Cathal,” Tiernan said. “My father has been lord of the house for centuries, and once I am wedded, it will be my responsibility to carry on the family name.”

Copper switched arms and started working her other bicep again. Intrigued by the differences in their worlds, she said, “Tell me more about the part of Otherworld where you live.”

Tiernan started out by telling her about the D'Danann warriors and how they were a neutral race like the Drow, only
the D'Danann were neutral-good, while the Drow tended to be neutral-evil. He frowned at that piece of information.

Copper paused in her exercise. “The Drow, evil?”

“Not exactly,” Tiernan said. “They side with whoever, whatever they can benefit from the most.”

Copper started working out her left arm again. “Neutral-good, neutral-evil—what does that mean?”

“As far as the D'Danann are concerned,” he told her, “the Chieftains will only allow our warriors to assist other races if they believe it is the natural order of things. In the case of the Fomorii in San Francisco, the Chieftains agreed that the D'Danann Enforcers could assist the witches who fight the demons and the Balorites.”

“So the Drow tend to assist the side that is evil?” Copper twisted her lips. “I can't imagine Garran and his bunch doing that.”

“Possibly,” was all Tiernan said in response.

When she asked more about his homeland, he explained how the Dryads had allowed many of the D'Danann to live in the trees, creating huge homes within the enormous tree trunks. The peasants tended to live in huts while the members of the court lived in mansions on the forest ground.

When she asked about the village, he smiled and told her about the vendors, the stores, the pub, and the Pleasure Houses.

At that Copper paused in her biceps exercises. Still holding the rock, she cocked her head. “Um, Pleasure Houses?”

He gave another casual shrug. “It is a place where D'Danann warriors and members of the court can enjoy pleasures of the flesh.”

Copper cleared her throat, not sure how she felt about that. “So you've been there a few times.”

“Many.” He looked so casual, yet a frown furrowed his brow as he added, “My betrothed preferred that I relieve my needs at the Pleasure House rather than with her.”

Copper's whole body began to tingle and she felt light-headed.
Had she heard him right? “Your
betrothed
?”

Seemingly oblivious to the anger flooding her, Tiernan continued, “Airell and I were to be wed today.” He sighed. “However, I postponed the date as a difficult situation has arisen, and I must come up with a solution.” He glanced around the meadow. “It is not something I can speak freely about here.”

Copper was on fire. Fury surged through her so hot and molten that she almost couldn't see straight. “So you fucked me even though you're supposed to marry another woman,” she stated.

The bastard actually looked puzzled. “I—” he started.
