“I’m a little sore but I wouldn’t change what we did.” She admitted- the heat rising in her cheeks with the embarrassment of her admission and he chuckled gently against her neck- his lips brushing the mark he left there- two pin pricks that were already healed over and she felt the tingle of his touch wash over her.
“I have something to tell you sweetheart but I’m not doing it here-“ he waited for her body to tense- the last time he had said those words he had shared what he was with her and she had run from him- she didn’t tense- she didn’t pull away from him- if anything she nestled back against him more.
“Not yet- I don’t want to move yet.” He tightened his arms around her and breathed her scent in- he wasn’t going to ever let her run from him again- he couldn’t- not now- he would do whatever it took to keep her by his side.
CHAPTER TEN
Fay steeled herself against the embarrassment of walking back through the front door of Adam’s house and coming face to face with those inside. It was bad enough that Abel and Hope were there, but she didn’t even know the guy that Hope was sleeping against- Joshua- but Adam had a firm grip on her hand as he led her back into the house and sure enough all eyes turned towards them expectantly as he entered first and a rush of questions greeted their arrival.
“Not tonight-“ He cut them dead quickly- eyeing each one in turn. “ Abel take Hope to your house- unless she has a better offer-“ He gave Joshua a poignant look and the big man just grinned back at him with a dark knowing smile as Hope cleared her throat in amusement.
“But what-?” Abel started and Adam shot him a dark look on a low growl that had Abel raising his brows and moving towards the door without another word.
Hope seemed to be brimming with barely contained excitement as she flashed a dazzling grin at Fay following Abel with Joshua hot on her heels as the room cleared in record time and Fay couldn’t help but chuckle her amusement as Adam turned towards her and dragged her into his arms, his eyes dark with desire as he looked down at her.
“Call me!” Hope yelled as the roar of two engine started outside and Adam frowned down at the woman in his arms.
“I think you’re going to be a little busy for the next-“ he paused considering it on a wry smile- “At least few days.” Adam informed her and she couldn’t help the nervous chuckle that accompanied her embarrassment.
“You think do you?” She challenged him tipping her chin up towards him and he leaned down and nuzzled against the heated skin of her neck, his tongue brushing over his mark and she sighed.
“I do- very much so.” He reached down and cupped her backside lifting her easily against him- the hardness of his desire for her again evident when he pressed into her and she bit down on her bottom lip.
“You’re insatiable-“ She chuckled a little nervously and he gave a little devilish laugh against her neck.
“It’s the beast in me.”
“Well I’m covered in dirt and need a shower so your beast is just going to have to wait-“
“I don’t think he can- he’s very hungry for you and he does not have an aversion to water.” Adam started towards the stairs in a heartbeat as she clung onto him- a little nervous that he could move so fast while carrying her at the same time.
“Do not drop me-“ She warned on a nervous chuckle and he just grinned insanely as he reached the bedroom and pressed her against the wall- rocking his hips against her.
“Drop you- sweetheart there’s a lot you need to learn about my abilities- I’m faster and stronger than a normal man-“ he dropped a kiss against her throat.
“Like the six million dollar man-“ she teased and he rocked his hardness against her nub causing her to drop her head back against the wall on a sigh.
“You don’t want to make me really angry-“
“Like the hulk-“
He growled against her throat before running his tongue over her heated flesh and she wiggled against him.
“I have an insatiable appetite- not only for food-“
“Winnie the pooh-“ she giggled and he lifted his head and frowned down at her with disbelief.
“Winnie the Pooh?”
“Maybe not- do you like honey?” she teased and his eyes scooped down to her breasts as he raised one brow on a devilish smile.
“I’d like it just fine if I was licking it from your body-“ His voice was a low husky growl of desire and she wiggled against him again sending him spinning with her back towards the bathroom.
“And an insatiable need to be buried deep inside you at every possible opportunity-“
“But you are gonna feed me at some point right?” She felt the world still about her and his face took on a more concerned look.
“Are you hungry sweetheart?” It was more of a demand than a question and she giggled again as she dipped her head and nuzzled against the warmth of his neck- her teeth nipping against his skin causing a low growl of desire to emanate from his throat.
“For you I am.” She breathed into his skin before running her tongue over where she had just nipped him and sinking her teeth into his flesh again.
“And never- never bit a wolf unless you want to get ravished.” He growled fisting her hair and tipping her head back to stare down at her- his eyes almost glowing with desire.
“Got it, I bite you- you ravish me- sounds fair.” She teased pulling her head forwards again to sink her teeth into his neck.
“Damn it Fay-“ He growled dropping her backside down on the tiled counter top next to the sink and reaching to release himself from his jeans as she bit down harder.
He grabbed her hips and yanked her butt forwards over the tile thrusting deep into her with one long stroke as she finally let go of his flesh and threw her head back arching her hips to his and she urged him on with her feet against his backside.
“Don’t bit me again or I’m going to lose all control like in the damn woods.” He growled down at her- his hips thrusting against hers- Fay reached up and dragged his top away from him as he shrugged it off and when she wrapped her hand around his neck and pulled him down towards her she sunk her teeth into his shoulder with relish as he lost total control of his beast- lifting her from the counter by her hips and pounding in hard and fast.
“Why are we eating in bed?” Fay enquired as she lay on her stomach and licked the grease from the fried chicken off her fingertips after tossing the bone onto the large pile in the centre of the plate.
“Because when you’re done gorging- you’re going to want me deep inside you again.” He was up on his hands and knees giving her a suggestive raise of his brows when she flipped him the bird.
“You Mr are just too full of yourself-“
He was over her in an instant, a hand either side of her shoulders, one knee between her thighs and the other nudging her legs apart as his tongue ran a long flat line from the crack of her backside up her spine to where her curls fell open to spill either side of her shoulders as his teeth nipped her neck.
“And soon you’re going to be full of me-“ He breathed against her ear causing a shiver to wash through her as she chuckled- wiggling her way up the bed out from under him and he growled down at her- his arms coming down either side of hers, his hands locking on her wrists keeping her in place as he lowered himself down the full length of her body, his elbows taking his weight as he rubbed the rock hardness of his arousal against the crack of her backside.
“You don’t want desert?” he breathed against her ear as he stroked his arousal between her butt cheeks and she chuckled.
“Who decided the menu?”
“You did when you captivated me with your beauty-“ He breathed against the pulse in her neck before running his tongue over his mark and she closed her eyes and felt him move around her- one arm released as he ran his hand between their bodies and positioned himself against her core- gently nudging the entrance.
“Good answer-“ She caught her breath as he eased just the tip of himself into the heat of her.
“I thought so
-“ His hand was back holding her arm in place- only now he was pushing her arms out in front of her on the bed- trapping her so thoroughly beneath him-
“What are you doing?”
“I’m going to hold you down and take you until I’ve had my fill even against your will- even if you scream for me to stop- I’m going to pound into you over and over again- take you so hard and deep that I’ll ruin you for any other man in the future-“
“You’ve already ruined me for any other man- but I don’t want anyone but you to pound into me-“ He bit the nape of her neck with gentle teeth as he edged an inch further inside her.
“I know-“
“And I wouldn’t need to scream for you to stop just tense-“
“I know.”
“And you would never take me against my will-“ He nudged deeper into her and she closed her eyes on a sigh- his teeth running over the raised swell of her shoulders where he had her arms trapped above her head.
“I know.”
“But you are going to hold me down and take me until you’ve had your fill because I want you too.” He pushed deep into her- taking her to the hilt and she moaned her pleasure.
“I know-“ He growled gently biting down into her flesh with blunt teeth and she felt his large strong hand grip down on both wrists before he eased his other hand between her and the bed and found the nub of erotic nerve endings and started to roll over it with hard fast fingers as she squirmed beneath him.
“And you’re going to make me come a lot-“ She gasped when he seemed to find that perfect spot just under the tiny hood connecting with the sensitive nerves and making her body climb hard and fast as he slid in and out of her in an easy rhythm- he was in no rush to release.
“Damn I hope so Baby.” He breathed against her ear as she quivered beneath him- her muscles tightening before her release that had her hips thrusting towards the bed then back up to meet his thrust into her- the cry that left her lips music to his ears.
“Tell me why you are keeping me captive in your bedroom.” She chuckled, resting back against his chest as he lounged against the headboard- his arms around her while she played with his fingers in hers and he placed a small kiss in her hair.
“Not just the bedroom- there’s the bathroom-“
“Splitting hairs-“ She elbowed him in the side and he curled forwards a small growl leaving his lips.
“Because I can’t get my fill of you and I’m not going to take you in the damned woods again-“
“Just the bed?”
“Yes-“
“And the shower-“ She reminded him and he grinned devilishly.
“Mmm- the shower-“
“And against the sink-“
“Fay-“ He warned and she giggled against the slow rise of the sheet that was resting against his groin.
“And up against the wall-“ She ran her nails down the palm of his hand and he growled low and hard in his chest. “Over the dresser-“ She whispered as though it were a secret. “In the chair-“ She watched the sheet become a tent and grinned mercilessly as he growled again. “Over the back of the chair- oh- on the floor in front of the chair-“ he went to reach for her but she sunk down the bed away from him quickly coming to her hands and knees- her eyes sparkling with mischief.
“And let’s not forget my personal favourite- right there in the middle of the room with my legs wrapped around your waist clinging on to you for dear life as you tipped me backwards and just pounded into me like a loony tune- scary good.”
He was on her in an instant- the growl that escaped his lips as he rolled her backwards and came down on top of her before she even blinked.
“Don’t tease me-“ He growled before cutting off her answer with a ferocious kiss that sent her head spinning from the lack of oxygen mixed with the desire that shot through her. “-You know what happens when you tease me woman-“ He growled against her throat and she slapped out at him- trying to push him away from her.
“Not fair- I wanted to play-“
He lifted his head and looked down at her- the fire of desire raging in his eyes as he brushed the backs of his fingers over her flushed cheek.
“I wanted to talk but that didn’t happen now did it-“ He chuckled as she pouted up at him.
“Fine talk.” She challenged him and he frowned down at her- rubbing his hardness against her thigh he gave her a quizzical look.
“Now?”
“You get what you want then I get what I want deal?” She teased and saw some of the spark leave his eyes. “What’s wrong?”
“Ah Fay, I think after I get what I want you might not want to play sweetheart-“ He rolled away from her then- coming to rest on his back on the bed as he stared up at the ceiling a sudden pained expression crossing his face as she rolled up onto her elbow to stare down at him.
“Ok- you’re kind of freaking me out Adam- what’s going on?” She brushed her fingertips down over the hard muscles of his chest and he caught her hand- flattening her palm over the strong steady beat of his heart, he held it there- captured.
“When I shifted to my wolf I discovered the reason why he was visiting you in your dreams and I had heard stories- but I really didn’t think it was possible- but with you being a Fae and having magic-“ Fay shifted uneasily on the bed- suddenly uncomfortable by the way he was going on.
“Adam you’re rambling- just give me the concise version and-“
“You’re pregnant.” He spat out and winced as his eyes flicked to her- her mouth gapped open as she stared down at him- he heard the double tap of her heart within her and then her pulse raced- she was doing an impression of a goldfish- her mouth moving but no sound was coming out- he waited cursing himself for spitting it out the way he had- he had meant to ease her into it- so very- very slowly.
“Fay?” He asked softly and she narrowed her eyes and considered his words- a little shake of her head- pursed lips and she rolled over onto her back and stared up at the ceiling.
He rolled towards her- propping himself on one elbow and staring down at her trying to read her as she just stared ahead blindly. Turmoil- pure and simple was rolling from her and hitting him full force.
“Fay?” he urged and she turned her head- her eyes just staring at him for a long moment before she held up her index finger.
“Give me a-“ she let the request die on her lips as she turned to stare back up at the ceiling- he felt the rush of his own anxiety within him as his wolf whined a long sorrowful mourn within.
“Fay?” He nudged her and she shook her head.
“Not there yet.” She breathed out quickly- he heard her heart double tap within her chest again and his body was practically coiled in anticipation of her running from him.
“Sweetheart-“ He urged running a lone finger down the bare skin of her arm and she turned towards him.
“Pregnant?” She searched for clarity and he nodded on another wince.
“Yeah-“ He offered with a little more sympathy for her predicament than maybe he should have offered her- hell- it wasn’t like he knew how to handle this kind of thing- he shouldn’t have blurted it out that’s for damned sure.
“How?” She demanded and he couldn’t help but see the funny side of it.
“Well honey when the male sperm-“ He regretted it when she slapped him hard around the top of his head biting back on the growl from his wolf and the chuckle that rolled through him.
“How? I’m on the pill-“ She spoke slowly as though he were an idiot that she needed to get through too. He winced again unsure if he was going to get another slap.
“That’s for human’s-“
“I am bloody human!” She shot up in the bed indignantly and realised that she was naked- and that’s what got you in this predicament in the first place! She snapped in her own mind as she snatched the sheet up and covered herself.
“Actually- you’re Fae and I’m Lycan and so-“
“So I could have just swallowed a bloody marshmallow for all the good
it did?-“ She dropped back down to the bed clutching the sheet to her chest and glared up at the ceiling.
“Technically yes-“ Adam cringed and she turned her gaze on him- fire in her eyes as she dragged herself up on her elbows and glared at him.
“And you knew this?”
He grimaced again before raising his eyes to the ceiling and looking for a way to explain his position. “Well somewhere in the back of my brain the knowledge was there, but when we were-“
She huffed and then snorted out a wry laugh, “You mean when you engaged your penis your brain took a backseat.” She snapped indignantly and he gave a low growl in his chest before she pinned him with her eyes and he shrugged.
“Technically- yes.” He agreed begrudgingly and she dropped back against the bed again and stared up at the ceiling.
“Oh god- I’m going to have a puppy.” He spat out a laugh that her head snapping towards him- fire blazing in her eyes now and he coughed away the laughter with a small shake of his head.
“Actually it’s going to be a child- just half Fae and half Lycan-“
“Oh great- so when it shifts it can rearrange the furniture.” She spat out sarcastically and turned her glare on him before he could spit out another laugh- he cleared his throat again- but the amusement was still evident in his eyes.
“Actually the child won’t shift for the first time until puberty.”
“So we miss the terrible twos and go straight to raging hormones and teenage angst- great timing.” He reached across her and dragged her towards him on the bed- resting his chin on her shoulder, she turned to see the smile that was spreading across his face and she glowered at him.
“Want to share what you find so amusing?”
“You’re already talking like a mother sweetheart- which means you’re going to have our baby.” Adam actually glowed with the knowledge that he was going to be a father and she gave a quick shrug of her shoulders begrudgingly.
“Did you think I wouldn’t keep it?” She asked softly- trying to keep the annoyance in her voice, but failing miserably under the look of complete awe he was bestowing on her.
