Alexandria arched against his body losing the rhythm of stroking him. He didn’t want her to stop but when she grabbed his hips and yanked him hard up against her, he didn’t care anymore. If she had kept stroking, he would have been done before they had even gotten started. He was just revved up by the gasps and mewing sounds she made.
Continuing in his exploration, he circled her areolas and her nipples peaked under his touch. Intrigued with the response of her body, he leaned down and drew a tight nipple into his mouth, suckling and circling it with his tongue. Her hands gripped his hair and pulled against him. He obliged her supporting her with his hands on her back and arching her so he could appropriately lave attention on her.
He nipped and licked one breast and then transferred his attention to the other one. Oh yeah, his Alexandria was enjoying this. She mewed and gasped and purred. Every time she purred, the sound ran through his body making him want to come so bad it hurt. He pulled back and looked at her beautifully passion flushed face.
Pulling her tight against him, he ran his fingers through her soft hair. “Alexandria, will you do something for me? I want to touch you and when I enter you, I want you to purr. Hard.”
“O-okay.” Was all she could get out which was fine because he kissed her deeply again.
Grasping her leg, he lifted and wrapped it around his hip. Once he got her in position, he released his hold and his Alexandria caught on quickly keeping herself balanced against him in the new position. Slowly, to build up her anticipation, he ran his fingertips down the side of her leg until he reached her bottom. He massaged her a moment and then brushed around the side of her hip until he was back in front between their bodies. The first touch of her stomach made him shiver in anticipation, and he slid his fingers down through her womanly curls.
Not able to slow down even if he wanted to, he searched out her clit. When he touched her, she gasped and dug her nails into his shoulders. The sting cranked him up a little higher. His body ran hotter and his Power began to leak out of his body making his skin glitter. Playing in her curls, Joshua teased closer to his goal until he brushed against her wetness.
“By the Ancients, you’re so ready for me. Fuck, I want to be in you now.”
Not yet. He demanded of himself. First Lexi. He played along her wet channel, teasing and tempting both her and him. She mewed and kissed him harder, trying to thrust her hips against his.
“Aaah, yeah, Lexi. I know what you need. Are you ready to purr for me?”
Clawing at his shoulders, she threw her head back.
“Yes, Josh. Please!”
“Then purr for me, Lexi.” He gently thrust his finger into her hot fiery depths, and damn if she didn’t shatter him with her purring. The vibrations went through his entire body to his center. His cock throbbed harder and he felt on the edge of coming. The sensation felt so fucking good but he didn’t want to come yet. He bit at the inside of his cheek trying to distract himself with a bit of pain and focusing on the thrust of his finger inside of her wet channel.
In and out, he thrust while her purring became harder and harder. The vibrations were tearing him up in the most incredible of ways. Not being able to take the pressure of his fatigues anymore, he hooked one thumb in the waistband and yanked them down. His erection sprang free and he couldn’t resist rubbing it against her inner thigh of the leg she was balanced on.
She opened her eyes looking at him with those sexy dark blue eyes of hers. He was all about the not resisting at the moment and kissed her hard, thrusting his tongue into her mouth. His finger thrust in time to his tongue and his hips started to follow the rhythm. The wetness of her against his finger and the purring was driving him crazy. Trying to control the movement of his hips against her just wasn’t going to happen. The slide of the head of his cock was almost perfect. Right at the junction of the inside of her leg and her bottom, but he wanted to be inside of her. The temptation to remove his finger, shift just a bit, and thrust up inside her with his hardness beat over and over in his head.
Yeah, he needed to take it to the next level for her before he came undone all over her. Moving his hand just a bit, he put pressure on her clit and just inside her tight hot core. Alexandria’s purring sank into the very center of him and he had to close his eyes from the sheer ecstasy of the vibrations running through his shaft. Thrusting his tongue into her mouth in time to his finger thrusts, he returned her purr and felt her shatter.
Alexandria gasped and she shouted, “Josh!”
Her orgasm was incredible; her core tightening so damn hard and tight around his finger over and over. At the same time, Alexandria’s Life Power exploded out from her and across their shared connection. Joshua grabbed onto her and held her tight to him. Over and over, he felt her come and all he wanted was to do it to her again and again.
She grasped at his hair, continuing the kiss and his Alexandria almost finished taking him over the edge with her. Joshua had not expected it when she had reached down grabbing his cock and rubbing the head against her inner thigh. He grabbed her hand just in time before he would have lost it right then and there, but he couldn’t stop the Life Power from exploding out of him. The Life Power circled and entwined with their bodies, brushing up against her energy and sparkling in its myriad of glittering golds. The sight of them both covered in Life Power was breathtaking.
Joshua’s body still hummed with the need to be inside of her but he wanted to let her recover before he pressed her to the next level. She surprised him when she pulled his head down, kissed him, and huskily demanded, “I want more, Josh. I want all of it. I want to Join with you.”
“You want to be my Power Mate.” Let her hear the words, he thought. He wanted her to be sure.
“Yes, Josh. Forever yours.” Words the Ancients would be proud of, he thought.
Grabbing her under the bottom, he stood up taking her weight. She smoothly wrapped her legs around his waist. The position took his breath away with her open and wet to him and he knew he could take her right there. But he wanted her lying on her back so he could see her Joining with him.
A bit awkwardly he shuffled into one of the side patient rooms. His fatigues were just high enough on his body he didn’t trip and fall over. That would have killed the mood just a bit. Alexandria caught the stray thought and she giggled in his ear. “Oh, Josh. Yes, that would be a sight.”
The sound of her laughter was enchanting and he hadn’t been able to hear it all that often as of late. He would make sure her laughter happened a whole lot more. Bumping up against the wide medical cot, he laid her back on it. She was still laughing and the sight of her hair spread out around her and the glittering Life Power caressing her skin was absolutely gorgeous. His inner Sphinx pushed at him and he knew there was no more holding back on taking her.
Joshua stepped back just long enough to pull off his boots and fatigues and then moved back between her legs. She wrapped them tightly around his waist, hooking her heels at the base of his back and, pulling him close to her core.
“Now, Josh, now. Please. I’m burning up again.” Burning up was an understatement. The heat coming from her matched his own and he wondered if they both wouldn’t catch flame. He really didn’t care though.
He brushed his fingers along her wet sex. She arched against him, thrusting her hips telling him she was ready to go again. He grabbed her hips, pulling her to the very edge of the bed. Taking his engorged cock in his hand, he rubbed it along the opening of her core. The slickness and heat felt so good against him. All he wanted to do was plunge deep into her heat but he had to be gentle.
With a control he didn’t think he had, he pushed against her and slowly slid in until he was just inside. She was hot and tight and he was afraid he was going to come right then. Staying completely still and taking a few deep breaths, he watched as Alexandria bit at her lip and her eyes dilated from the stimulation. “Hang on. This first part might hurt a bit. I’m sorry.” He didn’t wait for her response but thrust quickly in
to her. She didn’t even flinch and wrapped her legs tighter around him.
Trying to let her adjust to the stretching sensation she had to be feeling and not move was one hell of a fight. All he wanted to do was slide in and out of her and bring them both to heaven. His Alexandria must have had the same idea because she arched her back and began thrusting her own hips. Her need to build the fire higher was all too clear through their shared Link.
Joshua wanted his precious Alexandria to have whatever she needed and he was more than obliged to give it to her. He grabbed her hips and started a slow, even thrusting. The slide was exquisite and it didn’t take him long to be lost to the wet tightness of her heat surrounding him. He needed closer contact and leaned down over her. She wound her arms around his neck and watched him. The amazement in her gaze told him she was enjoying what he was doing to her. When she groaned he was certain of it.
“Alexandria, I’m not going to last much longer. Are you ready?”
“Yes, Josh. I’m more than ready.” She ground against him a little harder, making her demand of him. “Make me yours, forever.”
Joshua continued with his thrusting and kissed at her lips. Just a bit more for her, for him. He tunneled his fingers in her hair and reached down, pulling her leg up higher so he could thrust deeper. She answered with a sweet whimper and moan. The sensations were incredible and he needed to be closer to her.
Expanding their connection to as wide as he had ever had it before, he pushed his energy down along hers. With each thrust inside of her, he moved closer and closer to her Life Force, his energy spinning and surrounding her both inside and out. Her energy responded, twining with his and caressing him both inside and out. He gasped and lifted his head meeting her eyes. He was ready to explode and couldn’t last any longer.
“My Lexi. I am yours, you are mine. Joined as One. Forever.”
Her eyes glowed with such intense happiness, he couldn’t help it and stopped for just a moment to kiss her gently. Alexandria wouldn’t have any more gentleness though and grabbed at his hips, arching her pelvis to pick up the deep thrusting again. He liked the fact she wasn’t afraid to be demanding with him. He closed his eyes trying to hold back but his body was spiraling up, his Power was spiraling up, and Alexandria’s was mirroring his.
“I can’t hold back anymore, Lexi.”
“I’m beyond ready, Josh. I am yours, you are mine. Joined as One. Forever.” The last she screamed when the surge of her Power and the answer of his exploded around them, over them, and through them.
His Life Force Joined with hers in an intense bright light. The breath left him and he arched hard over her. The orgasms shot through her small frame with such intensity Joshua hoped he wasn’t hurting her. His own hurtled down his spine, focused at his center, and then he was shouting Alexandria’s name as he came again and again inside of her.
Chapter Twelve
Sparkling, swirling Life Power settled on Alexandria and Joshua’s skin. The sight reminded her of the pictures she had seen on the internet of winter nights where snowflakes falling from the sky sparkled in the moonlight. Skimming her hands down the strong muscled arms on either side of her, she giggled at the sensation of the energy when it tickled her fingertips. Suddenly feeling shy, Alexandria glanced up at Joshua’s handsome face. His expression took her breath away. So much love in his eyes just for her and the smile on his face letting her know he truly had wanted to Join with her.
“Your eyes are beautiful, Alexandria. Seeing the silver of mine sparkling in the depths of your dark blue honors me. We really Joined, Lexi.”
He captured her lips in an incredibly gentle kiss and she gave herself up to his cherishing emotions as they rolled through their now Joined Link. A connection that would be even stronger and unbreakable now that they were Power Mates.
The softly teasing kiss went on and on while he nibbled at her lips. Finally, he leaned back so she could look into his eyes. She reached up and brushed his hair back so she could see both of them clearer. Losing herself in their depths, she too could see her dark blue sparkling in his bluish silver. Evidence of their Joining. There would be no hiding it from anyone now and of what they felt for each other.
She continued to stroke her hand through his hair and he closed his eyes. Joshua shifted just slightly and Alexandria gasped from the sensation of him still being inside of her. She couldn’t believe how hard he was even after all of their love making and the Joining. Not being able to resist, she flexed her pelvis just slightly and was rewarded with a groan from Joshua. Just that quick, she had him thrusting in and out of her again.
Alexandria held on to his shoulders enjoying what her talented Mate was doing to her body. Knowing what her purring could do, she pulled him down so her lips were near his ear and smiling purred just for him. Joshua gasped, grabbing at her to still the mirrored thrusting of her hips against his.
“That’s just not fair, Lexi. How am I supposed to make you come when you take me over the edge so quickly.”
Nipping at his ear, she asked, “How did you know about the purring, Joshua?”
Joshua chuckled. “My sweet Lexi, it’s an old man’s tale handed down from generation to generation. In the days of the Ancients, secrets passed down revealed the ancient female Sphinx had the sexual talent that when they purred during love making, the sensation would take their males right over the edge. I can definitely say I’m more than happy the tale is true.”
“We’ll have to try my purr out on you more.”
Alexandria wanted to purr for Joshua and feel him come in her over and over but the sensual pleasure wasn’t to be at the moment. Joshua suddenly stiffened above her and the sensual thoughts she sensed through their Link dissipated. Killing the mood was her brother barking in Joshua’s mind and even she cringed.
Joshua! What the hell is going on with my sister? I’m going out of my mind with worry and all I’m getting is silence on the line. Talk to me now or I’m coming back up. Yeah, Michael had definitely worked himself into a froth. She couldn’t blame his mental yelling though, her brother really did care and hovered over her just like a true older brother. If it wasn’t for Joshua, Michael would have constantly been babysitting her.
Joshua sighed and slowly pulled out of her still humming body. He stood back up and grabbed his pants. Without him pressed up against her and his body joined with hers, she felt chilled and suddenly alone.
“Oh no you don’t, Alexandria. I’m right here.” He had sensed her uncertainty and instantly pulled her from the bed surrounding her with his arms and the love he spread across their connection warmed her in and out.
He pressed his forehead to hers. “I would stay in this sanctuary with you forever, but your brother is worried. He needs to see you’re alright and I ‘m sure the others are going crazy with worry for you too. So let me grab you some scrubs and we’ll get out of here.”
Releasing her, he pulled on his pants and boots. Before leaving the room, he gave her a quick kiss and dove out of the door but was back in an instant with a set of blue scrubs and a pair of surgical slippers. She saw while he was out getting the scrubs he had put his shirt back on. Too bad. She liked looking at his naked, hard-muscled body. Shaking her head at the thoughts, Alexandria slipped into the scrubs with haste not wanting to keep Michael waiting any longer than necessary. She knew he would go through with the threat of coming back up and didn’t want Joshua to take the fall for keeping him waiting. As it was, she was terrified what he would do about the Joining.
When she was ready, Joshua grabbed her hand threading his fingers with hers. He brought her hand to his lips and kissed the back of her hand closing his eyes as if savoring the feel of her skin. When he opened them back up, she could see the pure need burning but he just pulled her next to his side.
“Come on, Alexandria, we better go see your brother and the others.”
Leaving medical, they made their way to the elevators and Joshua had them on board and down one level to the Warrior�
��s quarters too fast in her opinion. Stepping out into the elevator bank, Alexandria took a deep breath looking at the double doors to the inner sanctum of the quarters.
Joshua brushed his hand through her hair easing her tension. “Are you ready, my little feline?”
The endearment had her smiling and she nodded.
Without delay, Joshua opened the door and held it open for her so she could pass through. Still, he kept her hand in his to keep her close. He pulled her to his side and Alexandria felt protected in his arms. She knew he wouldn’t let anything happen to her even though she knew her brother would never do anything to her. Although, he might decide to throw a punch or two at Joshua.
Barely making their presence known inside the threshold, Alexandria was tackled and hugged to death by an enthusiastic Stormy and Eleina.
“You made it. We knew you would, Alexandria.” Stormy grabbed her face, turning her this way and that and squealed, “I knew it. I knew you would Join with Joshua, although personally, I tell you, you should have both done that a long time ago. You’re both so stubborn.”
A low growl echoed through the entrance way. Not good, Michael would have heard everything and Alexandria expected him to come flying across the marble floor attacking Joshua.
Alexandria yelled out, “Michael, I wanted to. My Sphinx wanted too. Don’t be angry.”
She heard Michael sigh while he approached them.
“I’m not angry. I’m just being overprotective of my sister. I know you both love each other. It’s been fucking obvious for years, but old habits of hovering over you die hard. Joshua kept you safe for years. Now I expect him to protect you as his Mate, otherwise I’ll kick his ass. Besides, Stormy is an armful for me in the protection zone and keeps me busy enough.” He held his hand out to Joshua and they shook in mutual agreement of being two tortured men having to watch over their women.
