“Okay, so now what is it that you want.” She worried about the guard back at her building but instinct told her she no longer needed to worry about him and needed to look to her own circumstances. These men killed someone to get to her.
“Just a little information is all, about a case you’re working.”
“I’m sorry, but my cases are confidential.”
“See now, that’s going to be a problem.”
Chapter Eight
Sienna woke up surrounded by a unique scent invading all of her senses. Aaron. Her mate.
Somehow, the covers had been moved off her, her robe was wide open and he was kissing her breast.
Instead of pushing him away, she held his head to her. Pushing back against him, she raised his head. Even in the dim lighting of the room, she spied his desire for her shining within his ocean-colored depths. His lips came down on hers, and she parted her mouth to let him in. She felt his large hand move to her breast, and she arched into his caress, needing him—wanting him.
Her arms, as though acting on their own, wrapped around his broad shoulders. She felt him shove the rest of the covers aside, revealing even more of her naked flesh underneath. The coolness of the air hit her heated skin, but instead of cooling her off, all it did was excite her more. She craved his touch all over her body. She moaned into his mouth.
Aaron moved his hand, skimming her ribcage to her stomach. His thumb rubbed over her belly button.
His touch caused her stomach muscles to contract. Her entire body began to tremble as he continued to move toward her sex, which pulsed with need in anticipation of his touch. If he didn’t touch her there, she felt her body might just explode, perhaps it would—even if he did. She should stop him, they should not be doing this, but she had no will to stop him. When his fingers found her sex and sank between her folds, warmth coursed through her body, drenching his fingers along the way.
“You are so wet, beloved. So fucking wet,” he groaned. He pushed his finger farther inside her, then slowly pulled it back before moving forward again.
Instinctively, she lifted her hips, flexing to take him deeper inside her with each shove of his finger, wanting him deeper, needing him to fill all the empty places in her soul. When he inserted another finger into her center, she tried to spread her legs wider to get more of him, but the bunched sheets and the robe hampered her movements.
She shifted out of his embrace to untangle them both from the sheets.
“I’m sorry.” He moved his hand and began to withdraw from her.
No…Sienna was not having any of it. She quickly took his head between her hands and drew his lips back to hers.
He moved to cover her now bared body. His hand fisted in her hair and then down to her shoulders, his hard cock pushed into her crotch. The only barrier between them the clothing he wore.
As much as she wanted him naked, to feel his skin against hers, she knew they should not. But gods, restraint was hard.
“Trust me.” His whispered words confirmed he must have read her mind. “Let me give you some release. Let me show you a little of the love I want to very much share with you.” He kissed her again, while his thumb rubbed over her clit. He shifted his lips to her chin, licking all the way down her throat, moving to her breast. His mouth enclosed her hardened nipple.
Moaning, she arched into his caress. Her entire body felt flushed, each pull of his mouth on her breast matched the way his finger moved in and out of her. Her entire body became one large erogenous zone, something only he could sate.
“I want to taste you, here,” he whispered, lightly touching her clit again so she knew where he spoke of in no uncertain terms.
“By Poseidon’s glory, yes.”
He grinned at her and without breaking eye contact he shifted, gliding slowing down and over her body. He was hard all over, but when he got to her thighs, he used his broad shoulders to part her legs wider. Kneeling in front of her and lifting her thighs, he placed her legs over his shoulders.
She’d never felt more exposed in her life. When he buried his face in her pussy while his tongue touched her sweet spot her, entire body convulsed. She had absolutely no control, and she ruptured into his mouth.
“Mmm…yes, baby, yes. Taste so damn good. Give me more.”
Then, she gave him more.
When her shudders stopped, he lowered her legs and climbed up beside her. Kissing her mouth.
She could taste herself on him. “I want to give you that kind of pleasure too,” she said.
He chuckled. “Trust me, you just did. Your pleasure is my pleasure. I’ve waited a long time to be able to do this, and you’ve waited just as long to let me.” He planted a quick kiss on her. “So yes, you gave me pleasure, and we’ll share much more.”
“You do know I’ve viewed you every day since the first time we finally met on the rocks. I’ve watched you.”
“I wasn’t sure.” He played with one of her locks resting against her breast. “But at times, I did feel a presence with me or times, when I found myself thinking about you. What it would be like to finally claim you. Already, I know I could not even come close to dreaming the reality.”
She smiled. “I love you.”
“As I you, my bride.” He kissed her again.
This time, she was the one to pull back. “Now let me pleasure you.” She pushed against him forcing him to roll over onto his back, so she could straddle him. Pulling at his t-shirt, he helped her remove it. Her hands splayed over his hard chest muscles, the touch of his warm flesh against her palms had heat fusing into her core.
Lowering her head, she kissed his chin while her thumb played with one of his nipples. Mimicking what he had done to her. If she enjoyed it, she figured he would too. It only took a moment before the nub grew hard under her touch, and she felt tiny goose bumps around it. She moved her mouth from his chin to the nipple she just aroused and licked it with her tongue, all over. Pulling on it with her lips. His groans of pleasure letting her know her instincts were right. That and the fact his cock flexed, causing a larger bulge in his pants.
Remembering what he had done to her, she moved her hand down to his shorts until she touched the buttons.
His hand over hers stopped her before she could unbutton him. “No, that’s not such a good idea.”
“I trust you, Aaron. Let me give you some release, at last.” She wiggled her hand out of his and moved it down to cover his hard cock, pushing even more against the khaki material.
“Ahhh, baby. Fuck yes.” He unbuttoned his pants and carefully, pulled the zipper down.
She stared wide eyed as she gazed upon the muscle which defined him as male. The sight of which had her female sex muscles clenching and her juices flowing in anticipation. While she’d seen naked bodies before, none had been aroused—none had been her mate.
He wore no under coverings, his cock stood up, slightly bent from a nest of dark golden curls.
Her hand moved to touch it, and it pulsed on contact. She wound her hand around, reveling in its feel like silken steel, the strength in it, the veins running down the sides, lending it definition. Texture. She explored the slit at the top of his rounded head, watching as his stomach caved in even more, thinking she might have hurt him she pulled her hand away. Her finger came away damp. “Is all well?”
“Yes.” The word came out more as a croak. “I’m fine. Don’t—stop.”
Taking that as a cue to continue, she moved her body over his torso, stopping once her lips hovered over his cock, she didn’t want to tear her gaze away from the sight of it. She licked her lips in anticipation of tasting him, but first, she glanced up to see his face.
His gaze remained glued to her.
She smiled and lowered her head, holding him steady. Opening her mouth, she guided him to her waiting tongue. Tentatively, at first, she licked the tip of him. Clearing off the liquid oozing from the tiny slit, taking a moment to enjoy the salty taste of the ocean coming from him. It shot a burst of
energy through her, tightening her sex even more. Getting her even wetter again, dripping down her thighs. She wanted—needed to have him fill her, claim her once and for all. A physical craving gripped her, like none she had ever experienced. But she couldn’t sate either one of them that way. Finally, she understood why he didn’t want to do this. The temptation, greater than anything she had ever known to climb onto him and take what rightfully belonged to her.
Sienna could not do that, but she could and would do something else for him. Give him his first orgasm. Smiling, she set about pleasing her mate. “I am going to make you come.”
“Oh, by the gods, fucking please,” he growled out.
When Sienna took his cock into her sweet mouth, it took every bit of his will power not to come right then and there. By all the things the gods held sacred, he prayed for patience. He’d waited this long, he could damn well wait a little longer and enjoy this first time, with his mate. First time for them both.
Fisting the sheets between his fingers to anchor himself, still his hips rose. Fire stirred in his blood and raced through his body. He flexed once, twice—his ass clenched, his chest tightened, but then she touched his balls. Like the power of a tsunami, he could hold back the hands of time no more. The violent wave crested then crashed, nothing could keep it from slamming against the shore—he exploded.
Sienna kept her mouth over his cock and he filled her, the more she sucked and licked the more, he came. Until finally, blessedly, she raised her head; his dick continued to twitch until every blessed drop had been milked from him.
When his body finally stopped twitching, he found he could breathe again. Aaron looked at her with his heart still racing, and his breath heaving to fill his lungs with much needed air. Sitting up, he pulled her down on top of him and kissed her. Drowning himself in both his taste and hers. “I love you,” he whispered. Knowing, as all Children knew, he would love his mate. He’d fallen in love with her from the first. For her big heart, her dedication of his people…because she was meant for him. He loved her.
She smiled. “And I you.” Suddenly, her eyes rolled back into her head and she stilled.
At first, he felt shocked, then remembered something his father told him once about those with viewing, sometimes it can come upon those with the ability at any time. “What is it? What’s wrong?”
She pushed off him and stood up. “Shawnah. She’s in trouble. Hurry, we have to get to her.”
He sat up. “What?”
“We must hurry.” Without another word, she ran into the bathroom.
Aaron stood up, using the sheet to wipe himself off, then zipped and buttoned up his pants. He put his sneakers on, just as she came out of the bathroom dressed. “What’s going on, babe?”
“I’m not sure, but Shawnah is in danger. We must hurry.”
He grabbed his wallet and car keys. “Do you know where she is?”
She stared wide eyed at him, but she didn’t seem to be looking at him. “Water—nearer the water.”
“The marina perhaps?”
She blinked. “Yes, near boats. Hurry!” Without waiting for his reply, she turned and headed toward the door.
He grabbed the bag she’d left on the chair and followed after her, handing it to her.
She strapped it across her body.
“Do I need to get the car?” he asked.
“No, I think I can find her faster on foot.” Her gaze was on the elevator when it finally stopped in front of their floor.
They got on and he pressed the button for the lobby.
Holding hands, they hurried through the entrance, but she paused on the sidewalk.
“This way,” he said as he guided her across the street. They were a couple blocks over from the marina, where they’d passed the boats docked earlier.
“Yes, yes this is the right direction,” she stated as she stayed at his side.
Chapter Nine
She blamed herself. She had become distracted by Aaron’s nearness, their lovemaking. Blinding her to all else, otherwise she would have seen it coming. Sienna didn’t know who the men were who had taken Shawnah, but they were somewhere out on the water. A boat. If so, they were in her domain now. She sent a call out to the dolphins that remained nearby to find the boat.
They both stood on the dock at a vacant berth.
“Here, she was taken here.” Sienna pointed at the empty spot in the placid water.
“There’s nothing here. What’s going on?”
“Shawnah has been taken.”
“Taken? By whom? The White Witch. Where?”
She shook her head. “Wait.” She called the dolphins in the area to see if any had observed what had happened. Two of them had, and she told Aaron. “Four men forced her on a boat. They are out on the water. Come. I know where they are. The dolphins have found them.”
They walked to the end of the pier and glanced around to make sure no one saw them before diving into the murky channel. Sienna swam fast, a sense of urgency invading her being, just before she heard the warning cry from a dolphin. “By Poseidon, a sea demon. Faster!”
Yet, no matter how quickly they moved, they were too late. A creature, the size of one of the landwalker’s office buildings had risen up from the depths under the boat. All ten of its tentacles wrapped around it and dragged it under, leaving nothing but churning bubbles in its wake.
Aaron called forth his powers, creating a funnel of water with tornado force and tried to blast the creature, but his energy shots merely bounced off its armored hide, before she could pull up her magic and add it to his. An inky darkness engulfed the monster as it sped away from them.
They had no choice but to give chase. It had Shawnah.
Raising her hands, she attempted to send a flash of light through the muck the thing created in its wake, but it merely got swallowed.
The dolphins tried to enter the dark water, but did not come back out.
All she heard were the screaming sounds of their death cries. The water surrounding the creature was poison. This was no ordinary demon from the dark depths—this one was birthed from Hades.
Sienna called off the remaining dolphins. She already knew where the thing was going. Where it was taking Shawnah. She and Aaron could not do this alone, they would need help. She slowed.
Aaron had moved past her quite a ways, then turned to look for her and saw she was no longer right behind him. “What is it?” he asked while coming back to her side.
“We need help. I know where they are going. Come, we will need the king for this.”
“But Shawnah—?”
“I know. We will get her back.”
Turning, they headed for King’s City, but the dolphins had already relayed her message to the king.
The king and his bride met them halfway. He approached with a contingent of five warriors with him. “What the fuck is going on? Where is it?” he asked before they had even come alongside them.
“There is much I have to tell you first, my king,” Sienna stated.
“What’s going on? The dolphins told me a dark demon attacked a boat and neither you, nor Aaron could destroy it.”
“That is all true, but someone of importance was on the boat. It is the reason I needed more time to open the portal,” she responded.
He frowned. “I don’t understand. I thought we were trying to close the damn thing?”
“We will need to go to Ezekiel’s island. I will have to explain this to all of you. I promise all will be clear then.”
“Very well, witch. But make no mistake, I want to know what the fuck is going on here, because now demons are attacking landwalkers.”
As one, they all turned in the direction of Ezekiel’s island.
As a precaution, Xav sent his warriors back to King’s City and they continued on, just the four of them. When they rose out of the water and were able to walk toward shore, they found Zek and Des already there waiting for them. It was about two in the morning by then, so Aurora was nowhe
re around. Hopefully, she wouldn’t awaken.
“Xav, what the fuck?” Were the first words out of Zek’s mouth to his brother.
Cori reached toward Des and the women hugged.
Xav turned to Sienna. “The Sea Witch, I believe, has something to tell us.”
Zek bowed toward Sienna. “Greetings, Sea Witch. I forgot my manners. Welcome to my home. This is my bride, Des. Des, this is the Sea Witch, our sage advisor, if you will.”
Des held out her hand toward Sienna in the manner of a human greeting. “Hello, welcome.”
Sienna smiled and stepped from beside Aaron. She placed both of her hands over Des.
Something in her manner gave Aaron pause.
“Sienna.” The moment her name left his lips, she dropped to the ground and from the gasps of everyone around, so did the illusion she wore of youth.
“What the fuck? She’s not a child, but full grown?” Xavior roared.
“Oh, my God! Is she okay?” Des cried.
“You know her true name?” Zek asked while he stared at Aaron.
Aaron ignored them all. He dropped to the ground to cradle his fallen mate in his arms. “Sienna.” He shook her slightly, but she didn’t budge.
“Take her into the sea, let the water surround her,” Xav suggested.
Aaron picked her up in his arms and did as instructed.
As soon as he’d submerged her in the water, she opened her eyes. “I am well, beloved,” she said stroking the side of his face.
He placed his forehead against her own. “You scared the fuck outta me. Don’t do that. I just got you back.”
“I’m fine. Let’s return to the others.”
They turned around to head back to the surface. He glanced down at their joined hands.
When he tried to withdraw his, she wouldn’t let him. “It no longer matters.”
“Why?”
“For one thing, they know. But also because of Shawnah. I think she called upon her powers and the demons in the water were drawn to it. To her.”
