Lost Wanderer Awakened - Book One of the Airendell Chronicles

by Audra Hart

  “Why the heck not, I got to fight vampires with a magical being with more titles than I can recall today, and then icing on the cake, I meet two actual Elves, envoys from Alfheim no less. Pretty heady stuff, for a mythology nut like me,” George assures Morna. “Besides ma’am, we have been seeing signs of a shift in the balance between good and evil too out in our neck of the woods. I don’t think this fight is just about your Guild, not at all ma’am. I think there is a lot more at stake.”

  “Fair enough George, welcome aboard. We need to go pack. Please excuse us. We have a flight to catch. Breena are you already packed?”

  Breena gets up and hands a business card to Morna. “Yes, I am. And here is Almeda’s cell phone number. She chuckled when she gave this to me and said you would get the joke.”

  Morna did get the joke. She had been wishing they could call them on a cell phone not too long ago. She pulls her cell phone out and programs the number in then hands the card to Luca, he glances at it and hands it back. Morna mutters under her breath something about damn perfect vampire memory, and says to all in the room, “We must get packed if we are going to make our flight.”

  George and Brigid stand up, “Yeah I better pack too, I am booked on the same flight,” he informs them. “But first, Lucian, may I have a word with you in private, sir?” he asks politely.

  “Certainly George,” Says Luca. He kisses Morna on the forehead and says, “I will be with you in a minute love.” Then he indicates the door into hall to George.

  They step out in the hall, and George suddenly doesn’t know how to say what he feels he must say. Then he just decides to go ahead and stick his neck out. “Lucian, Brigid told me you were probably angry at Morna for not staying in the building until you got there. I know you had a spell on the building to keep intruders out and all that. You are just trying to keep her safe, but sir, honestly, that little girl, well she’s not so little,” he chuckles, “But she honestly could have took those green newbies all by herself. She’s tough and she’s smart when she’s in battle. Now maybe I shouldn’t be sticking my nose in here, but if I was worried about my woman, I think I would appreciate some assurance she was safe.”

  Luca puts his hand on George’s shoulder. To George’s credit, he barely cringes. “I know George. She has led me into battle many times, but she is my mate. And I want her to be careful. If she knows I worry about her, she might think just a split second longer before she jumps headlong into danger.”

  George looks Luca in the eye and says, “Yeah, but I think her instincts are outstanding. I just hope she doesn’t think one time when she should be reacting. You know what I mean?”

  “Good point George. I will take that advice to heart and not interfere again. I think you probably are a good man George. I know Montoya was and he said you had a lot of potential when you were younger,” Luca tells George.

  George chuckles, “You knew who I was from the get go didn’t you?”

  “Yes,” admits Luca. “Montoya carried a cord identical to the one you have. Morna remembered Montoya when you two were battling the vampires. But she wasn‘t sure until later.”

  George scratches his head, puts his hat on, only to take it right back off. “I better go down stairs and pack,” he says. “You know last night I traced your scent out into the lobby, I thought I had a tracker on my tail or something. I sure am glad you turned out to be a good vampire.” He laughs nervously at that concept.

  George opens the door to the suite and asks Brigid if she wants to go with him to pack, she happily joins him in the hall. She reaches up and kisses Luca on the cheek. “Luca, I won’t come to the airport. But someone can pick me up at Will Rogers Airport in few days after I tie up a few things here.” she informs Luca. “Be careful, and look out for this one for me, will you? He’s already very precious to me.”

  “I will do my best,” Luca assures Brigid, and kisses his dear friend on the forehead.

  They turn to walk to the elevator when Breena comes out of his suite. “I am going up to my room to get my luggage. Meet you in the lobby in 45 minutes? And no funny business this time. We all have a plane to catch,” she reminds her brother in law.

  He chuckles and kisses her on the forehead, “See you in 45 minutes.”

  When Luca reenters the suite he can hear Morna and Aideen in the bedroom packing. “Mama are you really okay? Ari and Almeda said you are evolving or something. They really aren’t sure what’s going on with you,” Aideen asks quietly.

  “I am great kiddo. Your daddy won’t let anything happen to me, you know that.” She assures Aideen vaguely.

  “Mama promise me you will watch out for him, I worry.” Aideen admits in a tiny voice.

  “I will Aideen, I promise,” is Morna’s sincere reply. “Would you get the stuff out of those drawers over there for me and put them in the suitcase. I am going to get all of my toiletries out the bathroom.” She’s walking into the bathroom as she speaks. Aideen opens the top drawer and lets out a loud whistle.

  “Mama, you hussy! Your underwear is sexier than mine!” Aideen gushes.

  Luca steps into the room quickly, and says, “I’ll help her pack.” Morna smiles in the bathroom. It is sweet that Luca is embarrassed about this.

  Aideen say, “Cool Daddy, I am going to go downstairs and eat something. I have been in surgery all day. When do you want me to meet you guys to drive out to the airport?”

  “In the lobby, about 40 minutes,” he says. She kisses him on the cheek and sails out the room. “Bye Mama!” she calls over her shoulder.

  Morna comes out of the bathroom and embraces Luca. They start to kiss passionately, and begin hurriedly trying to remove each other’s clothes. They are so caught up in their passion for each other that they don’t even try to make it to the bed. Luca’s impatience to have her naked gets the best of him and he tears the dress from her body, “Oh, I liked that dress,” she murmurs into his open mouth.

  “I’ll buy you another,” he promises.

  “Don’t worry, that won‘t be necessary,” she assures him as she lets his khakis drop to the floor and he steps out of them.

  In another second her bra falls to the same fate as her dress. He lowers her to the floor and takes her right breast into his mouth and sucks gently at first, gradually becoming more enthusiastic. They are both moaning so loudly, Morna vaguely wonders if anyone can hear them. He moves to her left breast. He is much more aggressive with this one. “Morna, I have dreamed about being able to do this.” Luca breathes into her ear, and then quickly goes back to her breasts. Morna can’t reply because she feels a climax building already…

  It is amazing to her how much she has missed this too. She has missed his hands feeling warm and the feeling of her breast inside his mouth. “Oh Luca,” she moans when he lightly chews on her nipple. She goes rigid and then begins to quiver after the climax ravages her body. Luca chuckles around her breast in his mouth and says, “That’s my girl! That felt like a pretty good one.”

  She moans, “Uh-huh.” And twists her fingers into his hair and pulls his head downward, none too gently. He chuckles against her breast, nipping at her willing flesh. She moans and thrashes with each nip as the lovely burn and sting are still present. She was afraid she had lost that.

  Luca indulges himself for a few more seconds with her breasts, and then he starts to work his way down. Dragging his now seemingly hot, open mouth down her generous but much more resilient tummy. When he gets to her panties, he shreds that offending garment with his teeth. He raises his head upwards, just to tease her, and nips around her navel. Morna savors the sweet fire and tingle his teeth leave on her skin. He is dragging out the sweet torture for both of them, but especially for himself.

  Morna laughs in pure joy at his enthusiasm as he finally parts her legs and raises them, bending them at the knee to allow him full access. She laughs again when he actually growls after inhaling her scent of her arousal. Luca gently pulls the swollen outer lips of her labia back and just savors
the sight of her engorged flesh. He can see the wetness glisten on her dark red flesh. He laps around the clitoris a few times before he actually sucks it into his mouth. Morna has never felt anything like that before and gasps in delight. He nips it, oh so gently, with his venomous teeth. She shivers as the sweet heat and tingle settles in. She moans loudly and thrashes her head back and forth on the carpeted floor as she climaxes the second time. He lowers his mouth and savors the flood of hot wetness.

  Luca moves his mouth back to her clitoris, and sucks gently on it again. As he raises his left hand up her belly until he reaches her right breast. He starts to knead it firmly and tweaks the nipple between his thumb and forefinger. At the same time he inserts the thumb of his right hand into her vagina. He rhythmically moves it in and out, swirling it around gently when inside, as he continues to suck gently on her swollen clit and tenderly nip it with his teeth, she tenses and he moves his teeth as she starts to softly buck into the movements of his hand. Morna’s third orgasm when it comes is nearly overwhelming for her; it lasts many seconds longer than the previous two. She quivers wildly as the waves of sensation wash over her.

  Luca laughs as he revels in her climax, but then he worries this might be too much for her newly heightened senses. He rises up over her body and hovers over her just touching her. He kisses her gently, sweetly. He looks into her smoldering eyes, they are glassy and look as though she’s been drugged. Morna smiles at him with so much love he is almost undone on the spot. She entwines her fingers in his hair as he kisses her again, and asks, “Are you up for more? My love, we can stop if you need to.” he assures her.

  “Please don‘t stop!” She whispers emphatically. He kisses her again and smiles. He had a feeling that she would say that.

  Morna wraps her arms around his shoulders, and encircles his hips with her legs as he enters her slowly. She moans loudly as he penetrates deeply. She revels in the warmth and the new ‘fleshy’ feel of him as she slides her hands down his back toward his buttocks. She lets her legs slide off his hips and fall open wide. He puts his hand on the back side of her right thigh and gently pulls her leg upward, allowing him more open access. She meets every powerful thrust wholeheartedly, and moans loudly each time, stretching her arms above her head trying to grip the low pile carpet with her fingers.

  Luca is reveling in her reactions to him, and he savoring his new found freedom with her body. His thrusts become faster, more forceful, and deeper until he feels his own climax coming. “Now baby, now!” He whispers into her ear and he keeps on thrusting until she joins him just a few seconds later.

  Her arms that had been outstretched over her head now wrap around his neck. She kisses him with intense passion. They gently rock into each other again and again as they ride out the last ebbing waves of their mutual orgasm. They are both breathing very hard. He shifts all of his weight to his left side and slowly caresses her bare left breast as he tenderly kisses her swollen lips. He is delighting in the way her eyes appear glassy, like she is intoxicated. When he notices they are starting to clear, he kisses her again, and says, “Love we have fifteen minutes before we said we would meet everyone in the lobby.”

  She laughs and says, “Who cares? They can wait five minutes.”

  “You are right,” he agrees. “We will not move until you want to.”

  She laughs and says, “But then we would spend eternity on this floor, caressing and kissing. Too bad! I guess we had better get dressed.” She kisses him fiercely and whispers, “That was wonderful, Luca!”

  “It was much like the old days, I didn‘t have to worry about hurting you,” he agrees. And kisses her again gently. And stands up fluidly. He offers her hand to her. She takes it and stands up lithely, effortlessly. He leans in and kisses her again, and run his hand up and down her hips, splaying out on to her buttocks. He bends down and kisses her neck and then licks the skin before taking her tender flesh into his mouth and nibbling. She sighs at the sensations he is creating with his mouth, “Luca, please stop before I throw you down to mount you, and we miss the damn plane. I want you again, very, very badly.”

  He laughs and pulls away regretfully. “Four times in twenty-five minutes. That’s a record for even you my love. You are amazing.” He walks into the bathroom to quickly shower off.

  Morna stands in the middle of the bedroom astounded by what she just experienced. “Yeah, I’m amazing. Sure Luca, I was on the receiving end.” She hears him laugh in the shower. “Smart ass!” she hisses. He laughs again.

  She grabs a soft cotton knit pullover in a lovely warm rust color from the suit case and a sleek two tone brown checked pencil skirt, and finally a lightweight jacket in a rich forest green color. She leans against the dresser, waiting for him to come out of the bathroom. She doesn’t trust herself to go in there with him. When he comes out fully dressed and looking every inch the perfect gentleman in his dark gray v-neck pull over and dark navy slacks. She moans because he is so beautiful and he groans when he sees her still standing there naked and flushed from their lovemaking, with her hair tousled, and her eyes still slightly glassy.

  She groans when their eyes meet, and darts around him and into the shower before she can change her mind. She hops in the shower and washes very quickly then hops out to dry off. She applies her deodorant and brushes her teeth then realizes she didn’t get any undergarments. “Oh to hell with it,” she thinks and just pulls the soft cotton top on without a bra. She slides the skirt up her legs over her hips, and fastens it with shaking hands and zips it up. “Damn, she thinks to herself he has me in such a state I am turning myself on just putting my clothes on. This is insane!” She runs her fingers through her hair, and decides it looks pretty good. She hurriedly tosses all of her junk into the toiletries bag and zips it up. She dons the green jacket and stalks out into the bedroom to find her shoes.

  She hears the front door click as the bell man leaves with their luggage. She looks around the room until she spots her brown pumps. She picks them up and examines them closely. “Luca, you picked out good shoes. I didn’t even break a heel kicking those stoneys.” She chuckles and bends to slip them on one at a time. He comes over and takes her toiletries bag from her hands, very careful not to make contact with her skin. She picks up her monster purse and puts the strap on her shoulder and follows him through the door into the sitting room. He stops before he opens the main door.

  He doesn’t turn around to look at her, but says, “I love you Morna, but if I look at you right now I will not allow you to leave this room,” he whispers vehemently.

  “I know, babe. Just keep walking, I am with you. Just please don’t look at me too much or touch me! Please!” He nods, and opens the door to the hallway. They survive the walk to the elevator and most of the ride down the elevator until Luca can’t stand it any longer; he takes her hand into his. She smiles; it makes her feel better too. When the elevator door opens they are looking at each other very intensely. It takes a few seconds before they notice it’s time to walk out of the elevator. They smile and step out, still holding hands. Breena sees them first; she snickers and rolls her eyes. Aideen sees them next and laughs and runs to meet them. George and Brigid look up at the same time and see the look on their faces.

  George leans down and whispers, “I guess in 700 years a couple can get pretty close, huh?”

  Brigid laughs and replies, “They have loved each other since a week after he fell through the gate. It’s impossible, but it’s beautiful.” she whispers back.

  Morna and Luca hear the whispered comments and smile at each other. Aideen has reached them by now. She hugs her Daddy first, and then hugs her mother. Then she wraps her arm loosely around Morna’s shoulder. “I am not sure when I will get back from Alfheim she whispers to her mother, I will miss you two. Please take care of him Mama. I mean it.”

  Morna lets go of Luca’s hand and turns to embrace her daughter and whispers, “I will darling, I will. I promise. You be well, and we will miss you so much.”


  Aideen has turned from her mother to her father when Morna’s phone rings. Morna fishes it out of the side pocket of monster purse and frowns at it. She flips the phone open and says, “Hello?” She motions to Luca to lean down and listen and she hit’s the speaker button. “Deidra… I mean Morna, this is Samantha. DO NOT GET ON THAT PLANE! Do not even go to the airport. She is waiting at the airport, she knows the vampires failed today so she is going to wait at the airport until you guys show up and curse the pilot of whatever plane you board. She’s willing to kill a 747 full of people to destroy you two. Oh, the hatred that woman has for you Morna!” Sammy is sobbing raggedly.

  “Okay Sammy, we won’t get on the plane. It’s okay darling. All those people will be okay. It is alright darling,” Morna assures the distraught girl.

  Luca takes the phone. “Sammy you are doing a great job kiddo. Morna and I are very proud. Now take a deep breath and take the phone to Rinda. Thank you sweetheart.”

  Not even three seconds go by before Rinda is on the phone, “Luca, do as she says,” Rinda urges.

  “Oh we intend to. I wanted to talk to you to tell you I am going to call Damian to come join you in the house,” he tells her.

  “No need, we have a signal worked out. He just walked in. Do you want to talk to him?” Rinda asks.

  “Yes I do, and thank you Rinda, I knew you were just the person we needed there to look out for the kids. You have a buffer spell up right?”

  “I do, and you are welcome. They are good kids. I am handing the phone to Damian now. Take care of our Morna. Bye Luca,” Rinda says.

  “Hey Luca,” Damian says, “What’s up?”

  Luca quickly tells him about Samantha’s vision. He tells Damian to stay in the house with the girls. “Can you handle it?” Luca asks.

  “I can handle it. I won’t let anyone hurt these girls. Don’t worry between me and Rinda, we will watch over them.”

  “Good job, Son,” Luca says. “Reinforcements will be there very soon. Call me if you need anything. Morna and I will be there soon, with a couple of friends.”
