Kore's Angel: Angel Shifters

by Serena Simpson

  He looked into her eyes, searching her. Finally, he nodded his head and placed the ring on the nightstand beside him.”

  He leaned over and kissed her, making her body tight with passion. “Eden, do you want this?”

  “Yes, I know it’s fast. We just met each other, but I almost died, and you saved me and yeah I want to do this.”

  “No, Eden. I’m not a pity fuck; I don’t want you to sleep with me because I saved your life or you almost died, and now you feel you owe me something. I…” He let it go and turned over on his side not saying another word.

  Her shoulders hunched as she wiped the silent tears rolling down her face. She had screwed up. This only happened when what she was trying to say was important.

  Kore waited until her even deep breathing met him and then he turned over. He picked up her wrist and placed his Jewel against it. Her wrist began to glow from the inside out. She was forming a Jewel that would match his. It would show the world that she was his lifemate, forever tying them together. He shook his head; the woman he already cherished simply wanted to sleep with him as a way to say thank you. He closed his eyes and allowed himself to lie back down.

  Eden opened her eyes and slid closer to Kore. She missed him in her sleep.

  “Kore,” she said softly, not wanting to wake him. “I only get tongue tied when I’m trying to say the important things. What I said earlier came out wrong. I think because I have so much in my heart that I don’t know where to start. From the minute my car went over the edge of that ravine my life started to change, and I knew I was going to die.

  “Then you came and stopped the car. Just stopped it and put it down so I would be safe. I didn’t know what to expect after that. At the time I thought it didn’t matter because I was going to live, but it did matter because it was you. From the minute I laid eyes on you, you changed my world. I’ve done things I would never do. I’ve experienced things that never happened to me before. You make my heart beat fast with joy. I’m always smiling around you, and you make me want to be different, more aware.

  “I don’t know if this is just gratefulness, but I don’t think it is.

  Gratefulness wouldn’t make me wet when your scent surrounds me or make me feel safe when I hear the beat of your heart. Gratefulness wouldn’t make your arms around me feel right. You’re not a pity fuck, or even a thank you for my life fuck. Honestly, you’re not a fuck at all. I want to make love to you; I just didn’t have the right words to tell you.”

  She laid back down on the bed her body close to him, just shy of touching. His arms came out and wrapped around her pulling her closer to him.

  “Kore.” His lips covered hers.

  Chapter Nine

  Eden slipped her arms around Kore, opening her mouth so that his tongue could plunder inside of her looking for all the secrets she kept buried for so long.

  She gave a sigh of pleasure as she battled with his tongue finding a pleasure she had yet to experience.

  “Kore.” His name came out in a long drawn out moan. It was letting him know she knew who she was kissing and where she was. It was also a sign of the pleasure his simple touch was giving her.

  He moved back a little looking at her kiss-swollen lips, and her eyes that were already starting to cloud with pleasure, and a deep, satisfied rumble came from him making her belly flip at the sound.

  Licking the shell of her ear, he whispered, “You’re beautiful, Eden.”

  Her body shivered as her neck arched so he would have room to place his small bites and kisses on her. Her hands went to his hair; she’d denied herself the pleasure of touching it, and now she wanted to feel the softness for herself.

  She moaned as his hair went through her hands. She wanted to compare it to something, but she’d never felt anything this soft before. It was like how she thought a cloud would feel, soft and airy at the same time.

  “I love the way your hair feels.”

  “Thank you.” He was nipping at her shoulder now, biting just hard enough for her to feel his teeth and to shiver in anticipation of his next bite. Would it still be gentle or would it be harder? Her body arched towards him needing to know the answer. She craved gentleness, but there was a slightly wicked part that wanted him to bite just a little harder. To possess her make her his without destroying her in the process.

  He bit, her voice rang out with a pleasure pain combo then it went away as her body rode a wave of joy, she felt a need she feared might never be met. She moved against him, rubbing herself against his cock as she looked for relief. There was white fire running through her body. He gave a guttural laugh, one that made her pussy spasm. What was he doing to her?

  She didn’t care; she just wanted him to do it again.

  He brought a hand up to her breast and started to caress it, pulling at the nipple. Yes, please, she thought. Pull harder make my pussy flood with need, because she needed him and what he seemed to be able to do for her.

  His lips came down and sucked her other nipple into his mouth. A loud mewling sound came from her as she tried to rub her thighs together to take care of some of the pressure that was building in the pit of her stomach. He placed a thigh between her legs opening them up, making her lift her hips only to be met with air.

  She growled. Her body went still when she realized what happened, but before she could process it, he flicked her clit. She went crazy under his hands. Her voice rang across the room like an echo, and she pleaded for him to touch her again.

  “I need you, Kore.” Her voice came out in a whimper, and she didn’t feel ashamed. He was playing her body like someone had given him a diagram of every erogenous zone she had. He was touching each one, taking her higher without relief in sight.

  “I’ll take care of you, Eden. I have you, baby.”

  He pulled her other nipple into his mouth sucking hard on it. She felt pleasure start with her nipple and flood her body. She needed to touch had to touch him. Her hands went to his back and she felt a flutter under her fingers. His wings? She caressed again and this time she caught the flutter with her eyes.

  She was caressing his wings and he liked it. His body was shaking now like it was taking all he had to hold on.

  “You like that,” she whispered, a smile in her voice.

  “I love that,” he said, letting her nipple pop out of his mouth. “Your hands on my wings are turning me on. I was already hard, but now I could break steel.”

  “Are your wings always this sensitive?”

  “No, they’re strong and tough and can handle most of what they endure. Extreme cold, heat, ice, hail, but your hands on them make me feel like they are newly formed. They feel everything.”

  “Mmm,” she mumbled as she traced his feathers; they were as soft as his hair. She could feel the bones in his wings and wonder filled her. “How can you use them in this form?”

  “In this form, I can use them to gain some altitude, hide and several other things. They won’t fully emerge; to see my full wingspan I have to shift.”

  She was listening or at least she was trying, but her pussy had just made contact with his muscular thigh, and she was about to bust grinding against him as she played with his wings. The flips and flops in her belly were off the chart, fanning the fire she felt to a fevered pitch.

  He growled at her and made his way down her body, kissing and sucking her.

  “I want to touch you more. I haven’t had a chance to explore.”

  “Later.” His voice was deep and guttural again, making her pussy throb.

  He spread her legs and looked between them. She twitched with nervousness. When was the last time she had a Brazilian wax? It felt like forever. She tried to close her legs by reflex. He didn’t need to see how unkempt she was.

  “Beautiful,” his voice came out in a tone of wonder.

  “I didn’t wax.” Her voice wavered feeling unsure of herself.

  “Don’t wax.” His voice was stilled filled with awe when he took one finger rubbing it against the
fold of her pussy.

  “Yes!” Her hips thrust up.

  He took the same finger and began to work it into her.

  “Tight,” he said as he worked his finger deeper.

  Tight? What was he talking about? Her fiancé always made her feel like she didn’t measure up.

  Oh, my! He was adding a second finger; the pleasure was hitting her even while he spread her trying to make her bigger.

  “Please.” She rode his fingers looking for relief, some plateau where she could lie and take a break. Just when she thought she was there, he took his fingers out leaving her close to the edge.

  “Kore,” her voice had that slightly begging quality to it. Her core was throbbing looking for relief.

  He took a finger and placed it in his mouth sucking. His eyes closed and pleasure filled his face.

  “What are you doing?” She was intrigued none of her boyfriends ever did that before.

  “You taste divine,” his voice was husky. “I don’t want to miss a drop of you. Have you ever tasted yourself?”

  She could feel the horror take over her face. Taste herself, wasn’t there a law against that?

  His thigh covered her lower body, holding her in place.

  “Open your mouth, Eden. Take just a little sip of what’s on my finger.

  I want you to know why I find you so tasty.”

  Her head swung back and forth saying no even as he brought that digit closer. She wasn't doing it, no way. When his finger was in front of her face, she found her mouth opening and her tongue coming out to lick at his finger. Her flavor unfolded in her mouth. She didn’t know if she liked it or even if she would ever do it again, but she didn’t taste bad.

  Kore opened his mouth and sucked the finger. She watched, almost feeling sad that he didn’t offer her another taste. Then she started thinking about how he would taste. She could almost feel him in her mouth as she licked her lips.

  “I want to taste you,” she murmured as she pulled her body closer to his.

  “You’ll get a chance. Right now I need to be in you, Eden.”

  “Yes.” She rubbed against his leg wanting him to fill her. “Will it fit?” “I’ll fit, don’t worry.”

  She nodded her head; she wasn’t going to worry because she trusted him. Her body stiffened against her wishes as she waited for him to invade her.

  Her eyes opened when she felt the head of his cock moving up and down through the folds of her pussy, making her grow hot with desire once again.

  “Kore?” She lifted her head to look at him. Passion was zinging back and forth in his eyes. He was so hot he looked like he should be attacking her.

  “Nice and easy, Eden. Nice and easy.”

  Her heart opened wider that he could be so hot for her and still care enough not to want to hurt her. Her head lowered as her body opened up to him completely.

  She felt when he slipped the head of his cock into her pussy. He was thick, but she could feel herself gripping around him. He entered her slowly. Every inch of him felt big; she felt him rubbing against the sides of her pussy packing her tightly but not hurting her. She ached with the slowness of his entry. She wanted to move, to jam him into her tightly, but his words were still beating in her mind. “Nice and easy.”

  When he finally came to a rest panting, she was panting right along with him. She’d never felt anything like this, and it wasn’t like she hadn’t looked for it.

  “Move,” she whispered when she wanted to scream.

  He gave her that sexy laugh and pulled out just a little before he sank back in.

  “More!” She trembled with need even as she encouraged him to do it again. He pulled out again, this time taking more of his cock out before he sank back down.

  Each time he withdrew it was a little further, and he sank a little faster until her heart was thundering in her chest and her body was shaking. Her legs came up to circle his waist so she could grind her needy pussy against him as he pulled out.

  In and out he was moving faster taking her with him as her core wrapped around him refusing ever to let go.

  “Kore!” She screamed his name as he placed her legs over his shoulders and began to pound his cock into her.

  “Yes, please,” she whimpered and begged as her body reached for something. She wanted to go someplace she had never been, and he was the only way to get there. He was so deep within her, not only invading her pussy but invading her heart. One final deep stroke and she shattered apart. Her high keening scream could be heard all over the house as she reached up to touch colors that sounded like musical notes. She saw herself as a puzzle and watched as she was put together differently.

  Slowly she drifted down feeling aftershocks in her body, and then she heard him holler as flood after flood of his cream hit her. She welcomed every bit of him filling her. As she closed her eyes, she wondered if they could have children together.

  Chapter Ten

  Eden woke up and stretched; a smile played around her lips. She pulled herself up against the headboard noting that the bed was empty on Kore’s side. She would have been alarmed, but she could hear him moving around in the bathroom.

  Her mind went back to the thoughts of children. She wasn’t worried, the injection she took every three months protected her, still she liked the thought of them having children together. Hopefully, that didn’t make her a weird stalker chick wanting to hold a male hostage for his seed. She grimaced at the thought.

  “Hi.” Kore walked out the bathroom. He had a towel hanging low on his hips, and his wings were partially open like they were drying off.

  “Hi,” her voice was low as she stood up. Red suffused her face as the sheet fell off leaving her naked. Still, she crossed the room to give him a good morning kiss.

  She wanted to do this every day. To wake up looking at Kore and kiss him every morning like it didn’t matter what happened because they would get through it together. Her mind tried to whisper a name for it, but she kicked the thought across the room before it could form.

  “How are you feeling?”

  “Marvelous.” Her smile lit up the room. “Now it’s shower time for me.”

  She walked past him and grabbed the towel from around his hips and turned to walk backward enjoying the sight.

  “You’re going to pay for that,” he called out after her.

  “I sure hope so.” Her voice had a sing-song quality of happiness when as she entered the bathroom.

  She stepped into the shower allowing the hot water to pour over her skin. Her life played before her like it should belong to someone else as she began to reorganize her priorities. There was the business. She had gone to business school and was more than capable of handling it except she hated business, although she liked money.

  She knew that she could hire someone to handle more of the business and she would strictly step into the role of overseer. That would free up her time. Her father had told her more than once she didn’t have to be tied to the business like he was. This was his passion; it didn’t have to be hers. What about the house? Her parents were gone, and so were her grandparents. She didn’t need a house that big. Some days she felt like she was getting lost in it. She had always wanted to see that house filled with children. Maybe she could convert it to an orphanage; there were still children who had no place to live.

  As she soaped her body up, she worked through her issues one by one knowing that some weren’t as easy to fix as she wanted them to be. The biggest one would be facing Marcus. What if Kore didn’t want her, she was just a passing fancy?

  She straightened her shoulders; then she would do it alone. From this moment forward her life was going to change. Her new image smiled in the mirror, and she smiled back at it. The new Eden was going to rock.

  When she made it to the kitchen, Kore was putting breakfast on the table.

  “Looks good. I love French toast, and you’re a great cook.” He smiled and sat down with her.

  “Kore, this is going to sound strange
, but something weird is happening with my wrist. At first I tried to tell myself it was my imagination but, well, look.”

  She held her wrist up. There was a bright shiny hard patch over her pulse point on her left arm.

  “I don’t know what it is. Should I be worried?” Her eye went to his right wrist looking at the Jewel there.”

  “I don’t think you should be worried, but you might not like what it represents.”

  She looked up into his eyes and saw that he was a little nervous, maybe even scared to tell her what was going on.

  “Tell me; I need to know. I never want to be the last person to know what’s going on in my life.”

  “Let’s finish eating first.”

  She nodded, it sounded like a good plan to her. She shouldn’t get bad news while she was trying to eat. They ate in silence and then cleaned the kitchen together before they went into the living room to take a seat on the couch.

  “To understand, I need to give you a little history on shifters. We all have one true life mate or mate, what you call your other half depends on what you are. For Angel shifters, we call our other half life mates. Which is kind of misleading because we will be with them in both life and death. There was a time when Angel shifters were numerous along with other shifters. Then something happened—the majority of our mates were killed.”

  “A plague?” Her hand was over her heart as she felt the pain in his voice.

  He shook his head no. “Our enemy. Not the humans but the enemy of our soul who would like nothing more than for all of the shifters to die. I don’t know what he gains if he has free access to the world. All I know is we stop him from roaming free. It’s a biologic imperative if he’s around; we know it and we drop almost everything to hunt him.”

  Kore stood and walked to the wall that had captured her attention before. The black and white photos looked like they were shining.

  “My family. My mother and my two sisters.”

  Eden stood walking over to him placing her arms around him as she looked at the pictures.
