“So, you bite me? And scar me? Where? It would obviously hurt, but does it hurt a lot?”
Blair pulled my finger back to his mouth and licked the blood off, and as I watched no further blood welled up. I pulled my finger back and stared at it, unable to even see the mark where the blood had been.
“I bite you yes, but there’s no scar afterwards that will be visible to humans. I will soothe the bite area straight away, my saliva ensures instant healing. If the bite is on a part of your body that shows, the only people who can see it are shifters, or mates of shifters. You can choose where you want the bite, it isn’t for anyone’s benefit but ours, it’s not like a ‘no trespassing’ sign or anything like that”.
I glared at Blair, not wanting to joke right now, but appreciated that at least he wasn’t intending to mark me as his territory. I opened my mouth to remind him he hadn’t answered all of my question when he continued.
“You asked if it hurts, I’ve heard that it does, but only for a moment. Hopefully at the time I do it, I’ll have you so distracted by pleasure that you’ll barely notice”.
At that I grabbed the cushion from the couch behind me and flung it at Blair, who grabbed it, laughing, then launched himself at me, flattening me to the couch and pressing his body against mine.
“I’ve been waiting so long for you, Lesley, I thought after last night you might be ready for me, was I wrong?”
“No Blair, you’re not wrong. I wanted you to stay so much, in fact, I was going to ask you to stay tonight, but the day didn’t work out like I hoped. What are you doing?”
The last question burst out of me when Blair suddenly stood up and started looking around. He turned back to me as I lay on the couch in a daze.
“I don’t live far from here. If we pack up your things, I’ll carry Melody out to the car and buckle her in, and you can follow me there. Let’s go”.
I laughed at Blair’s eagerness, but hung back for a moment.
“What about Diane? I can’t just go without saying goodbye, that would be rude”.
“Don’t worry about them, Lesley. I heard them go to bed ages ago. They obviously wanted to give us some alone time together, so let’s not disappoint them!”
Chapter 11
As I pulled up behind Blair, I quickly glanced at the older style house that I assumed was his before he was at the back door, picking up the car carrier with Melody in it with one strong hand while he slung the bag over his shoulder. He turned to me, watching quietly as I locked up my car.
“You don’t need to do that around here, only shifters live here and they wouldn’t take your car without asking you. But do it if it makes you feel comfortable. Follow me and I’ll show you the room we can put Melody in”.
I followed Blair through the back of the old house, realising that it was quite large. Blair walked up the stairs without slowing, and again I marvelled at his fitness, even while my eyes were glued to his butt in his denim clad jeans. When I followed him into a room on the upper floor, my jaw fell open in shock. It was a fully equipped nursery, and everything looked new. Blair kissed Melody on her little head before gently tugging off her cap and settling her in the crib. He gently rubbed her back while she grumbled and settled herself, then when he was satisfied that she was asleep, he leaned over, switching on a monitor that was on a chest of drawers by the bed, before picking up the hand held unit and ushering me out the door. Blair took my hand and led me to another door nearby, pausing at the threshold.
“Are you sure? If you aren’t, you can sleep in Cole’s old room, he left it furnished when he moved out. I’ve waited this long, I can wait longer if you’re not ready”.
In reply, I opened the door and swaggered in, swaying my hips as I unzipped my jacket, shrugging it off my shoulders and flinging it towards a chair on the far wall. I heard a muttered curse behind me, then the sound of the door shutting and a thump that sounded like Blair had fallen against it. I turned to see him leaning against the door, watching me intently. I put my hands to my waistband, almost grimacing as I remembered I was wearing very unsexy, elasticised pants, but decided to be brave. Blair hadn’t seemed disappointed with my body last night, so I gently shrugged them down, swaying my hips and stepping out of them before speaking.
“Are you going to stand there all night holding that monitor? Because if you are, it’s going to be awfully lonely in that bed by myself”.
As I spoke, I pulled my t-shirt over my head and quickly dispensed with my bra, before stepping to the bed and slipping between the sheets, still wearing my panties. As I heard the sound of Blair placing the monitor on a bedside table, and the rustle of clothing, I rolled over to turn on the bedside lamp, before rolling back to watch Blair, who was now staring at me, poised with his hands on his waistband. His chest was gloriously bare, and I suddenly couldn’t wait until I could feel it pressed against my breasts.
“I’m just trying to level the playing field here. You can obviously see in the dark but I can’t. I want to see you Blair, all of you”.
“Well, if you insist”, purred Blair, that cheeky grin appearing on his face again. He moved his hands from his jeans and instead took off his shoes and socks, slowly stowing them beside the bed. As I watched, getting more and more annoyed at his game, his hands moved back to his jeans and he gently popped open the button and slid down the fly, before easing the jeans and his underwear down his long legs. My eyes were drawn to his erection when he stood again, and as I watched it seemed to grow impossibly larger. I looked up at Blair’s eyes just as he leaned forward and whisked the covers from my body.
“Tch, tech, that’s cheating”, he said before moving to my panties, positioning himself between my legs as he slowly worked them down my legs. I lifted my arse off the bed to help him, and held out my hands to him, only to see him shake his head at me.
“Not yet. I’ve waited too long for you not to savour this moment. I want to enjoy all of you”.
Blair settled between my legs, pulling my knees up and placing them over his shoulders. Realising what he was planning to do, I found myself growing wetter as his head moved down towards my core. At the first touch of his tongue to my clitoris, I almost jumped off the bed. I felt his breath warm me as he chuckled, before his tongue lapped at my slit. I pushed my head back into the pillow as I arched my hips higher, inviting him to do more. Blair certainly knew what gave pleasure, and I wasn’t going to stop him. He moved both hands to me, opening me up to his gaze with his thumbs, before he muttered something about ‘beautiful’ and then continued exploring me with his tongue. It seemed to be everywhere at once, and when he penetrated me with his tongue, my legs started to tremble. Blair moved back to my clitoris, while his fingers worked inside me, finding that sensitive spot he had discovered last night, and I thrust my pelvis up into his hands, unable to stop moving, the pleasure was so intense. As the first wave crested over me, I vaguely heard someone scream, and realised that it was me. Blair hadn’t been joking last night. Blair gentled me as I came down from my high, kissing the insides of my thighs and massaging wherever he could reach with his questing hands, until I found myself staring into his eyes, from where he stayed between my legs.
“That’s not really fair. That’s twice you’ve brought me to orgasm, and nothing for you”.
Blair laughed as he moved up my body to lay alongside me. “You’ve brought me to orgasm too, you just weren’t there. You have no idea how many times I’ve made myself come in the shower, imagining it was your hand instead of mine”.
I pushed Blair over to his back and moved down his body, staring at him as I did. Always intelligent, Blair had obviously worked out my intention, and didn’t attempt to stop me. I reached his erection and put out a hand to at first stroke lightly, marvelling at how soft the skin was over the hard shaft, then grasping it with more strength, smiling as Blair drew in a sharp breath at my touch. As I stroked, his hips moved upward, and emboldened by his obvious enjoyment of my touch, I leaned forward to gently brush my
lips across the head, lightly licking off the salty beads of fluid dripping down the skin.
“Lesley, I won’t last if you keep doing that, I’ve imagined this so many times…”
I cut off Blair’s half hearted pleading for me to stop by opening my mouth and taking him inside, pushing down until I felt him bump against the back of my throat, before closing my lips tight around him and moving my head back, my tongue curling around him as I raised my head. I repeated the action, and as I did, Blair’s thrusts became more urgent, and his breathing more shallow. Normally I had a strong gag reflex, and would find myself choking at this point, but with Blair, everything felt right. I wanted to give him as much pleasure as he had given me, and not only that, I was getting pleasure out of doing this. I felt myself growing wetter and wetter, and worried that if I made Blair come, it might be a while until he was ready again, but I couldn’t stop. I hollowed out my cheeks to create a greater suction, and then I heard Blair groan, and felt hot liquid hitting the back of my throat. I swallowed as fast as I could, still working my head until I felt Blair’s thrusts stop, and he hauled me up to his torso with a sigh.
“I really wanted to be deep inside you the first time I did that, but that was so unbelievable I’m not going to complain. Are you ok? I wasn’t pushing too deep was I?”
“Blair, you don’t have to apologise because you enjoyed yourself. It was so hot listening to you moaning, but I have to say, I would have thought you could last longer than that, it’s not a good sign for our future efforts you know”.
Laughing as Blair growled and flipped me onto my back, I stilled as I stared up into his eyes. I had looked into those eyes so many times, yet I hadn’t really seen what I was seeing now. Blair was looking down at me with the light of love shining in his eyes, and I hoped that he could see that love reflected in my own eyes. I opened my mouth to speak, but was distracted by the realisation that the hardness against my thigh was Blair. He was erect again. He must have seen the surprise in my face as he laughed before leaning down for a kiss.
“Yes, I’m ready to go again, and you’re going to pay for that little crack about my stamina. I bet you come before I do next time”.
“You’re on”, I said smugly, knowing that although Blair was able to wring remarkable orgasms out of me by stimulation with his hands and tongue, it was unlikely that straight sex would do the trick. He was going to lose this bet. As he moved across me, reaching towards the bedside drawer, I realised what he wanted and grabbed his arm, stopping him.
“Not this time, not our first time. I want to feel you, skin to skin. Breastfeeding is supposed to provide some level of birth control, I’m willing to take the chance if you are”.
Blair stared down at me with an unreadable expression in his eyes before he grinned again.
“You are a gambling woman all of a sudden, I’ll have to watch that”.
As he moved over me, working his legs in between mine and spreading my knees wider, I stretched my arms around his torso, grabbing onto his back as I felt his shaft bumping against my entrance. Blair looked down at me, seeking permission, and I nodded up at him, my lower lip caught between my teeth in a mixture of apprehension and excitement.
With one thrust, Blair sank all the way home, and we both paused, moaning with the intensity of the pleasure, before Blair withdrew almost all the way, and I threw my legs around him, digging my heels into the cheeks of his arse. Smiling, Blair plunged home again, and lowered his head to kiss me deeply as he began a rhythm that had me trying to pull him in deeper with my heels each time. Unbidden, I felt that feeling coiling up inside me, the one where I knew that my body was seeking a release. I could feel Blair’s movements becoming more frantic, and knew he was near his release as well, when he broke free of the kiss, gasping out words between moans.
“I need to bite, where? I won’t last much longer and I can barely stop from biting you now”.
I turned my head to the side, exposing my neck. I had suddenly realised that I wanted everyone to see that I was Blair’s, and he was mine.
“Here, I want it here”.
Blair sunk his head and I felt a scorching pain as his fangs sank deep. I slapped a hand over my mouth, not wanting to cry out, but as I felt him lap at the blood with his tongue, I found myself shuddering in release around him, crying out his name until he began thrusting slower but deeper, burying himself as far as he could get into me while the hot streams of liquid spurted deep inside. Finally we both stilled, and lay like that, Blair still on top of me and inside me, while my arms and legs were tight around him. Blair was taking a lot of his weight on his arms so that he didn’t crush me, and I really didn’t want to lose the warmth of his body, but breathing was difficult. Sensing my difficulties, Blair rolled off me, but pulled me over to him, snuggling me against his side and pulling the covers up over us.
“I’m going to need more recovery time after that one”, he said quietly, kissing the top of my head while stroking my arm. Then he almost spoiled the afterglow by adding: “By the way, you came first so I won. I’ll cash in the bet later”.
Chapter 12
It wasn’t until the next morning that I found out what I would have to pay up for losing that bet. After an almost sleepless night of sex, sex and more sex, only interrupted by a late night feed for Melody, we were sitting in the kitchen having breakfast when Blair broached what had obviously been on his mind for a while.
“My parents want to meet you”, he said quickly, before burying his nose in his coffee cup.
“Already? I thought I’d have more time, how do they know about me anyway?”
“Blame Cole. He got sick of our mother wanting updates on Diane’s pregnancy every five minutes, so he told her I’d met my soulmate. Ever since then she’s been nagging to meet you. Why do you think I was always at your place? Apart from wanting to see you of course, it meant I couldn’t be at home to answer the phone”.
I laughed at Blair’s discomfort. The thought of the big scary panther being afraid of anything was funny. My eyes opened wide as I processed that thought.
“Is she a panther? What if she doesn’t like me because I’m human, or what if she just doesn’t like me?”
Blair reached over the table and grabbed my hand.
“She’ll love you. She’ll love Melody. She’s been nagging for grandchildren for decades, you have no idea. She was excited to hear you already had a baby that she will get to fuss over, then with Diane being pregnant, and the chance that you and I will have more children, she’s just been salivating at the thought of all the grandchildren she’s going to get now. Mother is human, like you, so she’s been waiting a really long time for grandchildren, and it’s been difficult for her. She’s had lots of her own children of course, but she says grandchildren are different. You can spoil them more, and be the indulgent grandparent instead of the disciplinarian parent. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but she has still been wanting to meet you. She is concerned about my choice of mate of course, but she likes Diane, and so she says if Diane likes you, and I want you, then you must be a good person”.
I laughed again as I picked up Melody, then went a little quieter.
“Are you sure it’s not going to be a problem that I already have a child? They won’t think any less of me? More importantly, they won’t let Melody grow up thinking they don’t love her as much because she’s not yours?”
“Melody is mine in all ways that matter. Just because I didn’t get you pregnant doesn’t mean that she’s not my child. I was there in the hospital when she was born, I would have been with you if you’d let me. I’ve been around since then, changing her nappies, soothing her, bringing her to you for a feed, how am I not her father?”
I stared at Blair, appreciating again the depth of his love for me, even if he hadn’t used the words. He had accepted my daughter as his own, and would clearly expect everyone around us to do the same. I nodded.
“Ok then, it’s time to meet your parents. When shall we
do it?”
“If I pick up the phone and call them, they’ll probably be here tonight. Will you be comfortable with them in the spare room? Because I’d like to send them off to Cole’s house, but I doubt he’d fall for that”.
I nodded, my mouth suddenly dry. Meeting my mother in law for the first time, looking like this? Blair met my eyes with a wry smile and shook his head, making me relax. Everything would be alright.
I reminded myself of that when the gorgeous couple stepped out of the car. It was hard not to stare, to realise that this beautiful woman, who looked only a couple of years older than I did, was over six hundred years old and had borne twelve children. I suddenly felt very frumpy and inadequate. Before I could have second thoughts, I was pulled into a warm hug by Maria, before being passed to Blair’s father, Marcos, who squeezed me tightly before putting him from me and speaking.
“You are such a beauty, Lesley, it is surprising you would put up with such an annoying man as my son. Surely you could do better?”
I stared at him in shock before his face split open in a grin eerily similar to Blair’s. I threw back my head a little to laugh, and heard a gasp from Maria.
“Blair, why did you need to put your mark in such an obvious place? You didn’t need to brand the girl!”
“Mother, that’s where she wanted it, I swear!”
Maria looked at me and I felt a flush creep up my face. Had I done something wrong?
“Shouldn’t it be there? I didn’t know - “
Maria came up to me and put an arm around me.
