“Too many clothes, what do you think?” she asked, and I nodded as I watched Lexi pull her tank off. She wasn’t wearing anything under it, and her sweet, pink nipples were tight as she arched towards me.
I cupped one breast, kneading it as I took her nipple between my lips and sucked gently, her breasts were such a perfect size for me. Her fingers splayed in my hair as I licked and sucked. I took the other nipple, my hips moving on their own and grinding my erection against the heat of her core. God, I needed to slow down, or I would come too soon.
I pulled back and looked down at her from beneath me, her chest falling and rising fast. She took my hand and placed it between her breasts, then slowly pushed it down, further and further, until it was at her waistband. She slid her finger underneath and pushed. My hand gripping the fabric, I pulled them down. I moved back as I did, exposing her wet core to me.
When I scrambled back up, she placed a hand on my chest to stop me. My heart was beating out of my chest, and I could smell her arousal, her lust. I wanted to taste her. I wanted my mouth on her clit. I wanted her to call out my name as I pushed her over the edge into a earth shattering orgasm.
“Raff, let me take off your shorts.” I moved so she could undo my button and fly. She tried to pull them down, but my erection was straining in my boxers and making it hard to move them. So I jumped back, took a deep breath, and pulled it up and over, pushing them to the floor. I hesitated at first before I looked back to Lexi.
Her elbows were propping her up, her pink swollen lip between her teeth as she sucked in a breathy moan.
My wolf wanted to strut. He was pleased that she liked what she saw. She crooked her finger and gestured for me to come to her, and I jumped up. The bed made a sound of protest at the movement, and it made Lexi giggle.
“Kiss me,” she said and I leaned down and kissed her lips. I moved down her neck, her chest, making sure to lick and suck on each nipple, and it made her cry out, her body arching into my hands. I dipped my tongue in her belly button and swirled before I got to the source of the most amazing smell I’d ever known. I placed a small kiss at the top, and her hand went straight to my hair as her hips bucked up, legs spreading wider. “God, Raff. Lick my clit.”
I ran my finger between her folds, making sure to touch her sensitive clit on the way down, and dipped inside her warm, wet pussy. As she moaned my name again, I licked and sucked her clit, teasing and tormenting her until her hand tightened on my hair. Her legs started to shake, and she called out, clamping her knees to my head. I kissed and sucked and fucked her with my fingers as she rode out her orgasm.
My cock was so hard, pre-cum was leaking onto the sheets as I ground my cock into the mattress. I didn’t want to touch myself. I would come before it was all over, and I didn’t want that to happen.
“I want to suck your cock so bad, Rafferty.” The way she said my name sounded like silk on her tongue. I wanted that too, but I wanted to be inside her more.
I pulled back off the bed and opened the draw that Galen had shown me earlier. I pulled out a foil square and moved back over to Lexi. I handed it to her, since I was giving her the choice of what we did. If this was all we did, I’d be just as happy as if we went all the way. She smiled and took the foil between her teeth and ripped it open.
“I want to make love to you,” I whispered, but I knew that no one else could hear us. My heart was pounding in my chest, and with the taste of her on my tongue, my cock was going to explode from excitement before she even came near it.
“I want to make love to you too.” She took the rubber in her hand and, pinching the tip, she moved her hands. She palmed the underside of my cock, and I hissed out, gritting my teeth and trying to stop myself from coming. She placed the condom on over the head, and with one hand, rolled it down to the base. It felt tight, and I was trying so hard to think of anything but her hand on my cock. When she cupped my balls, I quickly moved away. She tilted her head, and the wicked grin on her lips had me eyeing her. She giggled, and I shook my head.
“A little close are we?”
I nodded. “You are so sexy, Lexi, and you taste better than I ever imagined. I just want to make this last. I don’t want to… blow too early.” That had been my biggest fear, but Lexi just shrugged.
“We can always do it again if you do. I’m so worked up that this might be fast for me too.” She stroked my hair with the tips of her fingers, and I took three deep breathes before I moved towards her again. She laid down on her back, her legs open, and I settled there between them. I moved my hips, rubbing against her as we kissed.
She reached between us, and I pulled back to watch as she took my cock, my pulse picking up as I felt her place me at her entrance. I looked down between us as I moved my hips slowly, as I entered her it was warm and a tight, making me groan loudly.
“Fuck, holy shit,” I hissed out as I slowly filled her to the hilt.
“I love you, Lexi.” I kissed her, soft and sweet, then I pulled my hips back and slowly moved in again. The feeling was nothing I could describe. This felt more than just pleasure… it was coming home, where I belonged.
“I love you, Rafferty.” Her hand on my ass pulled me as deep as I could go.
I watched again as I slowly made love to her, her thumb brushing over her clit as I started to pick up speed.
“Fuck, oh fuck, I’m close.” Her moaning got louder as I placed more of my weight on her, pulling her close to me as I ground against her clit, the rhythm getting faster. I felt the tightness in my balls as the orgasm raced down my spine. My body trembled as I rode out the intensity of my climax.
I sagged against her, my arms lifting myself off her enough to make sure I wasn’t crushing her. Our breaths were both heavy, her nipples brushing against my chest at the movements. I kissed her over and over, so grateful I waited for this moment with her. She was my first hug, first kiss, and now, she’d taken my virginity.
I rolled over onto my side, taking the condom off and tying off the end like Ranger told me. I threw it in the direction of the trash can. I turned back and pushed her hair behind her ear. She smiled lazily, her eyes struggling to stay open.
“That was amazing, thank you for letting me be your first,” she said, her hand running down my chest and tracking my tatts. I couldn’t get enough of her fingers touching my bare skin.
I closed my eyes at the feeling as I relaxed into the mattress and wrapped my body against her, hugging her tightly to me. The air in the room was a little chilly on my body, so I thought she might be cold too. I pulled up what I could of the bed covers and threw it over us.
“I love you,” I whispered. Then I fell asleep with the love of my life in my arms.
Chapter Thirty
Lexi
I woke up, my muscles feeling good, and stretched my arms above my head, letting out a deep sigh as I snuggled down deep into the comforter. Last night was so amazing, there were no words. I reached out, hoping to find Raff so maybe I could get a little morning sex in, but no one was there. I opened my eyes and looked around the room.
Galen’s room was so beautiful. The dark wood really made a statement, it stood out, but I guessed if you live in a house as white as the Lovell’s, everything that had color looked beautiful.
“Raff?” I called out. The bedroom door was ajar, and I could hear someone out there. Did the guys stay out all last night? I pulled the comforter back and saw I was wearing a white T-shirt, so I brought it to my nose and inhaled. Maverick. Huh.
I made my way out of bed and to the bedroom door, hesitating a bit, as I didn’t have any underwear on. But the T-shirt was long enough to cover me if someone like Alaric or Nash were out in the living room. Which I really hoped they weren’t. I poked my head around and looked into the kitchen. I could see a bottle of whiskey and an empty glass beside it.
“Galen?” I called out, holding the hem of the shirt as I padded barefoot out and into the kitchen. My stomach rumbled, I was really hungry. When wasn’t I hungry, shoul
d really be the question. I opened his fridge to see what he had in there and found a huge platter of tiny triangle sandwiches, all different types. I was sure he wouldn’t mind if I snuck one or two. I grabbed two, one with cheese and the other had some chicken and mayo.
I grabbed a glass and filled it with tap water, then took a seat on his stool. The coldness sent a little shiver though me, and I laughed a little as half of my bare ass was sitting on it. That was kind of wrong, but it felt a little naughty too. When the front door opened and Galen’s face appeared, I felt…relief.
I guessed I was a little upset at not waking up next to Raff, or anyone for that matter. I was finding I didn’t like being alone anymore, at all, and this morning just proved that.
“Good afternoon, sleepy head. Glad to see you’re up…and eating the lunch I made for you and the others.” I pushed the rest of the sandwich into my mouth and smiled around it. Galen chuckled and made his way to me. His hand went behind my neck, pulling it forward, and he planted a soft kiss on my forehead.
With my mouth half full, I asked where the others were. Galen took the sandwiches out of the fridge and placed them in front of me.
“Well, they waited for as long as they could, but you were exhausted, so I told them I would be here. I’m sorry I wasn’t here when you woke up.”
They couldn’t wait for me? I felt a little hurt. What where they doing this early?
“Where did they go?” Galen took a sandwich piece and placed it just in front of my mouth. I smiled as I took a bite. It was so yummy. So good.
“They have to take turns in protection. It’s ramped up more now we know that Russet has taken an interest in Rafferty…and you.” I coughed, almost choking on the food. I took a mouthful of water, since my throat felt tight. I was worried. Raff had been so scared yesterday when he saw his uncle. We didn’t talk about it last night, but I knew it was still on his mind.
“So they got the early shift?” That sucked. Galen shook his head and pointed behind him at a clock on the wall. It said it was just after one o’clock. That couldn’t be right, that thing had to be broken. I didn’t sleep that long.
“You slept in. An angel like you needs her beauty sleep.” My mouth dropped open as I turned back to Galen.
“Wh…what? Are you for real?” He smiled and rounded back to me, his hands landing on my waist as my legs parted for him to step closer, revealing myself to him. His eyes never left mine though as he held me tight.
“Pack Bardoul came this morning. They have strong reason to believe that yes, you are part angel. Your blood is not human, and it’s not shifter or vampire. They’ve been in contact with a warlock, who has given them indication that the angel idea is the correct one. They’re trying to work with him, since he knows of an angel, and they’re doing everything they can to meet with her and hopefully compare blood if she lets them. We don’t believe you are from a full angel, that you might be a quarter or even less.”
I just stared at Galen for a good minute. I was an angel. Holy shit. Oh shit, I shouldn’t say holy, should I? Oh god, I was fucking this up bad. Oh, shit.
“There aren’t many angels… Well, we don’t think there are. Otherwise, we would all know about them, right? We hope to locate your father. Maybe he can help you with your powers and what to expect. I think our sharing of blood and the shifter venom triggered something in you, but we haven’t seen what you can really do. So…”
He pushed back my hair as my heart raced. They were going to try to find my father. My real one. What if he didn’t want me? He had left me behind already, why would he want to meet me now? My stomach was in knots, and I felt sick. I didn’t know what to say. Galen had made it sound so…good. His hands ran up and down my arms before he embraced me in a tight hug, and I noticed he was warm.
“My beautiful Lexi. I didn’t think how finding your biological father would affect you. Please forgive me. I should have asked you if you wanted us to find him.” I cleared my throat, but my tongue felt thick and words wouldn’t come. It didn’t take long before Galen took me from the stool. He pulled the T-shirt down and covered my ass before carrying me to the sofa.
“Shh… It’s normal to feel this way. Okay?” I nodded, not knowing what to say.
I was an angel, and I had a father out there, somewhere, who abandoned me and left me with a childhood of fucked-up trauma, never once coming to my rescue. On the nights when the foster home would get bad, I would dream that one day, someone would come rescue me. But in the end, you didn’t need a knight, you just needed yourself. I didn’t need this angel to tell me who I was, or what I was. I already knew.
I was Lexi Turner. I had almost completed high school. I would graduate and go to college, make something of myself, and have supportive, caring men by my side till the day I died. Yeah, I had made those kinds of plans. I’d always laughed at girls who did, but I knew I didn’t want to be anywhere else.
Galen’s arms were like magic, helping me to remember who I was. I was strong, and I could work this angel stuff out for myself.
“I don’t need him,” I said. “I can do this without him. Can we like, practice my angel-ness? Can I warm up your arm again?”
Galen’s eyes widened, and he didn’t look like he was jumping at the chance to try out my heating abilities anytime soon.
“Or…we could try something else?” I said with a shrug. I watched as he ran his tongue along his bottom lip. Oh…we could try anything. Kissing would be a good one. I moved towards him, but his finger pressed against my mouth. I pouted and he chuckled. I loved to hear him laugh.
“Get dressed. You have some clothes on the dresser. We’ll go bring the guys some lunch, and you can practice your angel-ness outside, in private. Preferably on Ranger first.” I laughed, and he just winked at me. “But you can’t mention it out there, okay? We don’t want any prying ears overhearing it.”
I nodded and he dropped his finger, so I made my move and kissed him quickly. I jumped up and made my way into his bedroom, then turned to see him watching me. Just before I stepped inside, I flicked the hem of the T-shirt up and flashed him my bare ass. He made a groaning sound, and I smiled to myself, my body reacting to his sounds as I closed the door and stroked my tight nipples through the soft fabric. I felt it instantly between my legs and clamped them together.
“Hurry up, or I will come in and spank you.”
I froze, heat flaring all over my body at his words. He must have drunk my blood again. I smiled, since I liked that so much. I love hearing him like this, he always seemed to give me the dirty thoughts, ones he wouldn’t speak out loud.
“I’m not joking, Lexi. I don’t hear you dressing, and we’re already late,” he called out from the other room. Just that alone made me want to be a little naughty and see if he really would spank me. I giggled when he called out again and decided it would be more fun to meet up with the guys smelling like this.
Chapter Thirty-One
Ranger
I was sitting beside Saint, who was swapping over with me so I could meet up with Galen and Lex for lunch, but they’d been taking too long. I hadn’t wanted to leave her in bed this morning. When we got back into that room last night, fuck, it was hard not to rub one out. Maverick took his T-shirt off and gave it to Raff, who dressed Lex in it so she wasn’t naked. I didn’t have a problem with her nudity, but when I’d dropped everything to jump in with them all, I got pushed out and onto the cold floor.
Turned out, none of them were into sleeping naked. Well at least not me naked.
“So, what’s going on with you and Ada?” Saint was Mav’s best friend, but that didn’t mean we weren’t close friends like they were. We told each other shit, but we never spoke about Mav, which was what made this friendship work. I could ask him about girls, though. Especially about what the hell was going on with him, Noah, and Ada, because that was looking like a TV drama in the making. And one I kinda liked to watch.
“Nothing. I’m just making sure Noah keeps some boundarie
s is all. She’s hung up on his age, thinks he’s too young for her, and I just don’t want to see him get hurt.” My eyes shifted to read his face, because that smelt like a lie. Even my wolf knew that he was lying, but I didn’t want to push him on the matter. I was just curious, was all.
“It’s only two years, but he is immature. He would need to grow up fast. Plus, Ada is…” I didn’t have words to say what I thought of Ada. Yeah, she was a great friend to Lex and I liked her for that, but if she wasn’t her friend, I would’ve avoided her. She was just so… “Bossy?” Shit, was that even the right word? “A perfectionist? Demanding?”
Pain shot through my chest, and I wheezed for breath.
“The fuck, man?” I asked after I’d caught my breath, rubbing the pain with my hand. Saint had hit me. Hard.
“Stop speaking shit about her,” Saint growled.
My brows raised at that. Oh yeah, he was lying when he’d said he nothing was going on. He liked her. I smirked at him.
“Meet us at the cliffs.” I heard Galen say to me…us. Mav and Raff were working the other side, but Noah and one of his fathers were going to take over for them. I hated having to leave Lex to protect her out here. I wanted to stay with her and keep her safe, but it was agreed that Galen would do that while we three had to take protection shifts.
I stood up and clapped Saint on his shoulder.
“Nothing, my ass,” I whispered, just before I shifted. I grabbed my shorts in my mouth, hoping I didn’t put any holes in them, and ran towards the cliffs, to the edge of Kiba territory where it meets the Sea. It was a huge drop, and not one I liked to be near. Heights weren’t really my thing.
As I entered the clearing, Lexi was sitting on a blanket with her back to me, her hair was loose, and the golden-brown strands blowing in the sea wind. She laughed at something Mav said to her. I dropped my shorts let out a sound to let her know I was here, in wolf form, since I didn’t want to scare her again. I would never forgive myself for that. My wolf was starting to realize that I needed to think before acting on instinct.
