Linyah shook her head. Her sister
didn’t like her, but there was no way she’d let a criminal
go.
“
Did you know that you’re
going to have to behead her? I mean, be the one that carries out
the sentence?”
“
Yes. It’s a part of my
job as head of security. But I’m not going to have to do this one.
Nic said he’d take care of it for me.” She was distracted and
didn’t notice right away that he’d stopped moving and was staring
at her. “What is it now?”
“
You’re not even going to
have a trial for her? See what you could have done to make it so
she didn’t try to kill someone else?” She wanted to point out that
if she were dead, she wouldn’t be hurting someone else, but he
continued. “Is this how your kind deals with people? You simply
kill them without benefit of them saying why they did
it?”
“
She tried to kill me. I
think that in and of itself is enough to have her beheaded, don’t
you? Or do you wish now she’d finished the job?” He was on top of
her in a heartbeat. As he moved down her body, he pulled the shirt,
which he’d tossed at her when they came out of the bathroom, from
her shoulder. The place where he’d bitten her was hot and she
wanted to beg him to bite her again. “What are you
doing?”
“
Do you think I like the
fact that you were nearly killed by this woman and there is nothing
I can do about it? I nearly lost you today. What would have
happened to us if…?” He lifted his head and she could see that he
was taking in her scent. His next words, spoken harshly and deep,
made her entire being tighten and expand. “I love the scent you
give off. The way you smell when you’re aroused. Would you like to
come again? This time filling my mouth with your juices? Then when
I’ve had my fill of drinking from you, you’d let me slide deep
inside of you until your pussy was wrapped tightly around
me?”
“
Please?” She felt
breathless, needy, and hot. When he took her nipple into his mouth
through her shirt, it was all she could do not to beg him again to
take her. But he lifted his head and looked down at her, and she
suddenly felt afraid of him. When he moved back, she wanted to
stomp her foot and demand that he take her. This running hot and
cold shit was going to drive her nuts.
“
I’m going to wait until
you’re healthy. But until then, I want you so close to the edge
that you beg me to take you.” When she sat up, she could see his
cock pressed hard against his pants front, and she wanted to touch
him. But he cupped his cock in his hand and took a few more steps
back. “You have to be healthy when I take you.”
“
Why?” She watched him. He
was fighting with himself, she could see that. He turned around,
walked to the fireplace, and leaned heavily against it. Linyah felt
like getting up and hitting him.
“
I’m not going to hurt you
while I take you. And believe me, when I take you, I want you fully
aware that I’m doing so.” She felt her body respond to his words,
and he looked at her. Spreading her legs wider, she watched his
nostrils flare again and his body stiffen. “You’re playing with
fire, Linyah. I’m not a soft man who likes soft sex. I like it
hard, painfully so, and I want you to scream when you come for
me.”
“
Come here.” He moved to
face her but didn’t come toward her. He stared intently at her and
she knew that she had him. “Come here and show me what you want. I
have no idea why I want you to take me right now. My need for you
is so incredible that all I can think of is you pounding deep
inside of me until I can’t tell you from me.”
“
Show me.” Standing up,
she pulled off her shirt and let it fall to the floor. She was
completely naked now. He moved toward her in a slow, almost
cat-like motion then. She supposed that was just what he was doing,
as she could see his cat as he raced over his skin. “He wants to
mark you as well. Taste your pussy too. Would you let him? Let him
drink from you until you come for him?”
“
Yes.” He pulled off his
tee-shirt and dropped it on the floor. As he pulled his pants off,
standing not five feet from her, Linyah felt her body heat more for
him. The things she thought he was going to do to her made her want
to hold onto something so that when he did touch her she wouldn’t
fly away. “What do you need me to do?”
“
Don’t run.” He shifted
just like that, his body going from male to cat all in one smooth
movement. She reached for the bedpost and held on as he made his
way to her. When he nudged his nose against her flesh, she ran her
fingers through his soft fur.
He pushed her onto the bed with his
big head. Then he moved to sit between her thighs, and she felt her
juices flow. He was going to touch her there, taste her, and she
held her breath when he moved toward her. As soon as his nose
touched her she came, crying out his name as he licked her over and
over. Every time he made her come, every time that he drank more
from her, she wanted more of him. When he lifted his head from her,
she watched as the cat disappeared. Then Thomas was kneeling
between her legs.
He wasted no time in burying his face
at her pussy. While the cat’s tongue had been rough and long, his
was smooth and talented. Curling his tongue deep within her set her
off again, and she begged him to take her. But he ate at her,
licked her, and suckled her clit into his mouth until she was weak
from coming. Then he stood up, fisting his cock as he stared down
at her.
“
I’m not going to be
gentle.” She nodded and reached for him. Linyah had no idea, but
she thought that he’d tell her no, but he wrapped his hand around
hers as she touched him and watched her. “If I come on you now,
I’ll be able to take you slowly. I don’t want to hurt you. Well, I
do, but not this time.”
“
Why not?” The pearl of
white cum leaked from the tip of him, and she licked it from his
cock. He moaned and she leaned in to take more. Taking his crown
into her mouth, she curled her tongue around him and tasted all of
him. When he pulled her head up, she looked at him.
“
I’m going to come this
way if you keep that up.” She nodded and took him into her mouth
again. “Christ, you’re making me see stars. I want to fuck you,
fuck that pretty mouth of yours.”
He rocked into her mouth, and for the
first few strokes she had to figure out how not to gag. But when
she swallowed, he cried out and told her again. She needed
something too, and slid her hand down her body to touch her where
he had. But he pulled from her mouth and told her to lay
back.
His cock was glistening with her
saliva, and she wanted to take him again, knowing that if she did
this time, he’d fill her mouth with all of him. But he moved onto
the bed with her, and she knew he was going to fuck her. When he
laid over her, his cock at her entrance, she stiffened, not sure
now that he was there.
“
Don’t, baby. I need to be
inside of you.” She nodded but her body was so stiff feeling that
she nearly jumped off the bed when he took her nipple into his
mouth. “Your nipple reminds me of hard berries. And as sweet too. I
wonder if I put a clamp on them, would you come with the feeling or
would you cry out when I touched you? And I want to explore you. I
want to tie you to this bed and take you anyway I want
you.”
He suckled just on the tip of her
breast until she felt her body loosen. He moved his way down her
body, nipping and licking the tiny wound, and she nearly cried out
when he licked her pussy again. Thomas said her name, and she
looked up at him. He was smiling.
“
I’m going to eat you
again. Then when you come, I’m going to enter you hard and feel you
come around me again and again. I’m going to fuck you, having your
ankles wrapped around me while I pound your pretty pussy over and
over until you scream out your release. Then I’m going to fill you
with my seed, bite you hard, and mark you.” She nodded, licking her
lips, thinking she’d like to taste him too. “Will you bite me,
Linyah? Mark me too?”
“
Yes.” He buried his face
between her legs and brought her to a quick hard climax. When his
fingers slid inside of her, she rode him hard as he brought her to
two more quick climaxes. As he moved up her body, this time she was
ready for him, ready for his cock to take her. When he was at her
pussy, his cock sliding in and out of her just enough to want her
to beg him for more, he took her mouth as he slammed
forward.
Her breath caught. Her body screamed
at her to get him off her. She hurt, it was too much. Moving her
hips to try and buck him off, she realized he was talking to her.
Softly, in her head, he was telling her how sorry he was, how badly
he felt for hurting her. When she moved her head to look at him, he
wiped at a tear that was on her cheek.
“
I’m sorry.” She nodded
and he moved slowly. The slide of his cock made her moan, and she
looked at him. “If you’re a really good girl, I’m going to try and
not come in you before you come. The way you’re gripping me right
now, I’ll be surprised if I can hold off long enough for you to
come at all.”
“
I need to come.” He
nodded and moved again. “Please, more.”
He was gentle with her, moving in and
out of her so slowly that it was hard to imagine him hurting her
before. As she lifted her legs up and over his, he shifted his body
so that he cupped her ass and brought her harder against him.
Linyah cried out her first release of what she was sure would be
many more as he moved deeper within her and just a little
harder.
Come for me.
His command echoed through her head as he started
moving faster, his cock not just filling her but becoming a part of
her. Even as she felt herself build up again, he was licking his
tongue over her shoulder to her throat, and she knew that when she
came, he was going to bite her hard enough to draw blood. As soon
as the thought of biting him popped into her head, she screamed
out, her release taking her hard. His teeth tore into her skin and
she did the same to him, tearing deeply until the taste of his
blood was all she could think of. As she came again, screaming
around his wound, he threw back his head and roared out his
release. Linyah felt the world around her tilt just enough that she
had to hold onto Thomas or fall.
Even as he dropped onto her, she knew
that he was being careful. When he rolled to his back, taking her
body with him, she felt his concern that he’d hurt her. Linyah had
always been the powerful one in her family, never wanting anyone to
cuddle her or hold her so tenderly. But she found that she liked
him touching her. Loved him cradling her into his chest and
arms.
Linyah yawned once and felt her body
start to float. She’d never felt this relaxed before and felt
herself drifting off. He moved again, this time bringing a blanket
over them, and she smiled. She might get used to having a male if
it was like this all the time.

Hannah threw up again and tried to
keep from being too loud at it. The last time she’d been sick, her
mo…Bella had beaten her pretty badly for it. Not that she expected
anyone to beat her here, but old habits were hard to break. She
heard someone in the room next to her and stood up and wiped at her
mouth. She came out to find Sina standing in the kitchen, making
something at the stove. The thought of food nearly made Hannah go
back to the bathroom
“
I hope you don’t mind,
but I don’t get tea often; my male hates it, and I thought you
could use a cup.” Hannah nodded and sat down as Sina continued.
“You could eat some crackers; that might help.”
“
I think I’m coming down
with something.” Sina turned to look at her, then smiled. “I guess
you don’t get sick all that often.”
“
Rarely, as it so happens.
And it’s been a while since I was sick like you are.” Hannah took
the cup of tea and felt her belly relax by just the smell. Humming
gently, she sipped it and then looked at Sina when she sat. “You’re
breeding, did you know that?”
Hannah didn’t know what she meant and
it took her several seconds before she got it. Putting her hand on
her belly, she stood up and then sat down. She was going to kill
Misha. Sina smiled at her again. But then maybe he didn’t know
either.
“
He does know. I’m sure
he’s known all along but didn’t want to upset you. You are upset,
aren’t you?” She nodded. “I can tell. You’ll be a wonderful mother.
I know…I’ve looked into your mind. I hadn’t meant to go that
deeply, but I could tell that you’d been hurt. I was worried…well,
I was worried about my daughter staying here with men who might be
abusive. So I looked. I’m glad to know that it wasn’t
Misha.”
“
I would never harm her.
None of us would. I really like your daughter. She’s a lot like I
wish I was.” She sipped the tea. “This is amazing. What is
it?”
“
A brew of mine. Like I
said, my male hates the smell. I have no idea why, but he does.
While I try to give him whatever he wants, this is something that I
missed. I shall leave you some for your tummy.” Hannah nodded.
Maribel came in just as Sina was making them another cup, and she
joined them.
“
I’m going to have a
baby.” Maribel laughed. “I guess you knew too. How come I’m the
last to know? And he’s going to pay for this when he gets
back.”
