Thomas (24 page)

“
You’re welcome as long as
you want.” Misha nodded his agreement with his wife. Carole leaned
back and closed her eyes. A new life, and she was so ready for
it.

Chapter 13

Linyah stretched out on the bed. She’d
not slept this well in a very long time. She supposed it was coming
several dozen times that helped, but she did feel good. Thomas was
still sleeping beside her, and she rolled over to look at him. He
was so handsome that she found herself wanting to snap pictures of
him all the time. And touch him. Watching him sleep, she wondered
if she could have as much fun with his body as he’d had with hers,
and looked down at his cock.

He wasn’t as hard as he normally was
when he was naked. But he was thick. She touched her finger over
him, and he moaned. Linyah moved down the bed, slightly taking the
sheet with her as she went. His cock was uncovered, and she found
herself wanting to taste him as much as he had her. Leaning over
him, she licked his length.

“
Christ.” His curse had
her looking up at him, but his eyes were still closed. Licking him
again, she moved her body so that she was between his legs and
wrapped her hand around his hardening cock. Taking him into her
mouth fully, she felt his hips move up and down as she tasted him.
Linyah loved it when he fucked her mouth and bobbed up and down
with him until she felt his fingers curl into her hair. This time
when she looked up, he was staring right at her.

“
Are you waking me this
way every day?” She let go of his cock and smiled at him. “Don’t
stop now. I’m just waking up and enjoying this.”

Linyah licked him from root to tip,
then swallowed him down her throat. He roared out her name but
didn’t stop her. The more she took of him into her mouth, the
harder he fucked her. When she was lifted from him and pulled up
his body, Linyah started to beg him to let her go back and finish
him when he told her to ride him. As she’d never done this before,
it took her several tries to get it right.

“
You’re so beautiful right
now.” She rolled her hips forward, and he groaned again. “That’s
it, baby. Ride me. I love the feel of your tight pussy wrapped
around me.”

Thomas grabbed her hips to slow her
down, but she didn’t want to slow. She wanted a hard, fast ride. As
she leaned forward, holding onto his chest as her climax built, she
nearly came when he rolled her to her back. Instead of fucking her,
he told her to lay still.

“
I want you to shift.” She
shook her head. “Shift for me and go into the woods behind here.
When I come after you, find you, I’m going to fuck you with my cat,
then again as me.”

“
Fuck me now.” He slid
into her hard, then back out. “Yes. More. Please, give me what I
want.”

But he stopped again, and she wanted
to scream at him. “Shift. Be a cat to mine. I want to claim you.
Fuck you hard out in the open. Then if you’re a good girl and let
me mark you, I’ll let my cat have a taste of your pussy
again.”

She watched him. She wasn’t sure if he
was teasing her or not, but when he pulled from her body, she leapt
from the bed and let a leopard take her. The shift from human to an
animal had never been her favorite thing, but with him, it seemed
right. She moved to the door, and he followed. As he reached for
the knob to let her out, she ran her tongue over his cock. She
thought for sure he was going to shift then and take her, but he
commanded her again to go into the woods. She was barely out of the
house when she heard him coming for her.

Linyah ran like her life depended on
it. He was always just behind her, and she wondered a couple of
times if he was letting her get away. But each time she was able to
elude him, he’d turn up very close to her again. Linyah wanted him
to take her, but she was having a great deal of fun too.

Just when she thought she’d lost him
again, he pounced and took her to the ground. He was deep within
her in seconds.

Christ, you have no idea
how much he’s enjoyed this
. She moaned,
and her cat snarled at him. When his cat roared back, she tried to
bite him, but he wasn’t having it. Lifting her ass up to toss him
off, he bit down into her shoulder so hard that she
stilled.

He’s marking
you
. Her cat hated what he was doing and
tried again to toss him off. But he only bit her deeper until she
lay still. The big cat pounded into her until he threw back his
head and roared out his release.

She shifted back to herself almost as
soon as he let her go. She lay there panting both from the fuck and
the run. His cat moved around her as if he were cornering his prey.
Linyah wasn’t afraid, but she wasn’t going to let him take her so
easily.

Every time he got close enough to her,
she moved back. He was pissed off; being denied what he wanted
wasn’t setting well with him. But when he lunged at her, throwing
her back to the ground, he held her down with his big paws as he
licked her breast. She watched him as he moved down her body,
biting her enough to leave a mark but not enough to draw blood. As
soon as he was at her pussy, she sat up on her elbows to watch
him.

Let him
in
. She spread her legs for them both and
waited. He was teasing her. She knew it and so did Thomas. But when
his thick tongue touched her clit, she came with a quick, hard
climax that left her breathless for more. As he licked her over and
over, she began to ride his mouth. As soon as she felt her climax
build again, she begged Thomas to take her.

The shift was fast, his body already
in motion to move up, and his cock hard as stone. When he filled
her, slammed his cock into her pussy, she let her climax take her.
Screaming out her release, she held onto Thomas as he took her
higher and higher twice more before she fell over the edge. Then he
roared out his own climax. Hard punches of his body into hers
brought her again. Linyah felt her body drop back to earth, almost
as if he’d lifted her up to the heavens and dropped her back.
Laying there while her heart seemed to pound out of her chest, she
thought of how much she loved him.

He rolled to his back, taking her with
him. Neither of them said a word as they lay there. It wasn’t until
he turned her head that she looked up. Not five feet from them was
a big buck, but that wasn’t all. Five of his harem were eating
grass too.

“
Do you suppose they saw
us?” For some reason that made her embarrassed to think about. “I’m
assuming you think they might have. What do you suppose they were
thinking? ‘Look honey, the humans are sticking things in each other
again. How do they do that?’”

“
Behave yourself.” She
giggled, and the buck looked at her. “I wonder if by this time next
year he’ll have a whole herd of baby deer.”

“
I would like to have
children with you.” She put her head on her fist and watched him
now as he continued. “Not right away, I think. I’d like to spend
some time getting to know you. Doing things with you.”

“
I love doing things to
you.” He grinned and slapped her ass. “Hey. That wasn’t very nice.
I was being serious.”

He held her for a little while longer,
and she closed her eyes. It was so peaceful there. The birds were
making noises now. The deer that had been milling about them had
moved on as well. There couldn’t have been a more serene place in
all of the world.

“
I talked to your dad.”
She didn’t move, waiting for him to ask her about it. Her dad told
her that he didn’t think that Thomas believed him. She smiled when
she thought of his face when the ball, scheduled a month from now,
was set to happen.

“
He said you did. I guess
you’re not keen on being a prince.” She felt his body stiffen but
didn’t move. “It really isn’t that big of a deal. You get a crown,
and you—”

Thomas rolled her to her back and put
his hand over her mouth. She could see the panic in his eyes and
had to work hard at not laughing at him. His mind was working, and
she was very tempted to look inside, just to see how much he really
was upset about this.

“
There is a crown.” She
nodded. “And someone, I’m assuming your father, is going to put it
on me.”

She shook her head and
since he didn’t let her speak, she reached into his head and
answered him.
My sister will. The queen
rules in our society. The men help a great deal, but ultimately
it’s the queen’s say
.

“
I don’t want this,”
Linyah said nothing, not sure what to tell him. “I’ve never been a
prince before. Never held any title, for that matter. I simply
don’t want this.”

Too bad
. He let go of her mouth, and she looked at him. “I swear to
you, it’s just a title. You’ll be asked to join a few things. Dad
said he’d help you with that. But if it makes you feel any better,
I will be the next in line only if Kendra wants to retire or
anything.”

“
No, that does not make me
feel better.” He rolled to his back, this time not pulling her to
him. “What the hell is my family going to say when they find out?
Do you know what sort of shit they’re going to give me?”

“
Yes.” He looked at her
and she smiled. “But you can have them thrown in irons or whatever.
You’ll have an entire army at your command.”

“
Now that I can live
with.” He pulled her down over him and kissed her. “Let’s go to
bed. I want to make love to you again.”

She was stretching out on their big
bed when something else occurred to her. Linyah thought about
telling him what she remembered, but decided to wait until the time
was right. The poor man had enough on his plate right now. But when
the crowning ceremony happened, he was going to have to make a
speech. Linyah decided to help him with it. It was the least she
could do.
