I turn and leave returning to my home.
***
After the house becomes empty, I find Davina in the kitchen sitting and drinking.
“Would you like to shower or take a bath?” I ask.
She looks up at me and nods yes.
“Landon where will I live, if I’m to stay here in this community?” She asks.
“You will stay here, there’s no other place currently, but I can have a home built for you within a year.”
“I’m not staying with you a year.” She growls.
“I’m not your enemy, and you are staying here, I promised you protection, and I can do that best here.”
“I can take care of myself, I don’t need you.”
“I know you don’t need me, but I want you to stay.”
“You have Wendy to keep you company, besides everyone is talking about you needing to take a mate.” She counters.
I move closer to her and bend, so I’m face to face with her as she still sits. My interest grows more every time I’m near her. I won’t let her leave, she belongs here I know it.
“You know I’m not used to someone wanting to be away from me. I’m not sure if it’s because you don’t trust me or if you find yourself attracted to me as I do you. Whatever the reason, you out in the world alone is wrong. You deserve to be with your own kind, and I will try to help you see that.”
I move closer wanting to kiss her again, but this time she turns her head.
“No, we shouldn’t.”
I stand and hold my hand out to her.
“I’ll show you to your room.” I simply say. I’m not used to rejection, and this only makes me want her more.
When I get to the door of the room where Davina will sleep, she tries to slip past me.
“Why are you rushing away from me?”
She stops and looks at me with this gorgeous eyes and my hand automatically reaches for hers.
“This will never work.” She says, looking at our hands joined together.
“We will never know unless we try,” I move closer, and I can smell her arousal. “How about I get us some dessert and wine.”
“Ok dessert and wine, nothing else?”
“We’ll see, you may attack me.” I laugh, and she smiles.
I take a shower and slip on a pair of my pajama bottoms.
After I pick up one of the pies left in the fridge and a bottle of wine I head back to Davina’s room.
I knock on the door, and she doesn’t answer, using my keen hearing I can tell she’s still in the shower. Opening the door, I begin to set us up in front of the fire place, cherry pie with wine has to make her want to stay.
As I’m lighting the fire place the bathroom door opens, and her scent fills the space in the room.
“Landon, I’m not dressed for you to be in here.” She says, softly.
“You smell wonderful…I’ll stay facing the fireplace until you are appropriate.”
“I smell wonderful compared to the dirty smell from being in a car and walking through the woods…”
“Whoa, you know what I meant, and besides I wanted you the entire car ride.”
She doesn’t reply, but I hear her bag open. She fumbles around, and it’s not long before she’s walking toward me. I turn and see her in a pair of white pajama pants with a tank top on. Her breasts are perfect, and her nipples are hard and ready for me.
“Cherry pie is one of my favorites, do you have whip cream?” She asks, sitting down on the floor.
“No, but I’ll remember for next time. Would you like some wine?” I ask as I’m pouring us both a glass. She looks up and sees both glasses full.
“I guess I do, it’s already poured, Landon.”
After I hand her our glasses, I position myself as close as possible to her. We are silent for a while looking into the fire eating pie and drinking wine.
“Landon tell me the truth are you here because they want you to mate with one of the females?” She asks, avoiding my eyes.
“I’m not going to lie and say no, but I’m not mating anyone until I’m ready.”
“You’re loved here that’s for sure. Seeing all those people greet you when we walked up was amazing. I’ve never seen anything like that before.”
“Did you ever seek out a pride to join?”
“No, I never wanted to be a part of a pride. I figured if my own parents didn’t want me, then why would a pride.”
“I want you.”
“I’m no good for you, Landon you need a mate, and that’s not what I’m ready for.”
She thinks she’s not good enough for me, but Davina is wrong, she’s exactly what I need. I may not want a mate right now, but having her around will not be a bad thing.
The pie is soon gone along with the entire bottle of wine. Davina stretches out on the floor on her stomach. I position myself behind her with my legs straddling her hips from behind. Slowly she turns and looks at me with passion in her eyes. I’m not sure where this will go between us, but I’m certain I can’t leave now. I must have her.
Gently I push my hands up her tank top from behind and begin a slow massage. She moans in pleasure, and I want to hear that sound more. I put a little more pressure using my hands wanting her to relax. I pull the shirt over her head and flip Davina over to see those breasts. Once she’s on her back, I lean down and lick one of her nipples. Davina purrs and reaches for my arms pulling me toward her.
I begin kissing Davina, and her hands are in my hair pulling me closer to her. I slip my hand in her pants and find her wet. I slip in a finger, and her body starts to move with me, I slip in another, and her body completely relaxes.
I pull out my fingers and place them in my mouth sucking her juices off. She watches me with her eyes barely open.
Quickly I pull off my pants then push hers down her legs. I slowly lift her legs onto my shoulders as I slip inside her. My head falls back, and my mouth opens, with no sound. Davina feels amazing, and I try to hold on, but her body meets me with such force with every thrust…in and out, in and out. I begin kissing her neck sucking as I continue thrusting inside of her. The more she moans, the more I want.
“Louder.” I coax.
She moans and screams pulling at my arms as I hold her legs in place. Once I feel her legs shaking I pick up the speed watching to see her come apart for me.
“Come for me Davina I want you to clench around my shaft.”
She looks at me, and with a loud roar she comes hard and fast. Her body is shaking , and her claws come out slightly scratching my arms causing blood to run out. I find my release soon after her thrusting hard enough to push us both forward on the ground.
I pull out and rest beside her. Davina turns into my arms and falls asleep. Once I know she’s sleeping good I pick her up and place her in the bed and leave her to rest.
Chapter 6
Davina
I awake alone in bed. I didn’t expect to be alone after the night Landon, and I had, but here I am alone in this huge bed. I’m not sure if he stayed at all, but I think he could have at least been here when I opened my eyes. I shouldn’t be angry, because sex doesn’t mean we are a couple, but it does mean respect to me. As I go to get out the bed, my body reminds me of the night with Landon. I’m sore and satisfied.
I put my top back on and pajamas pants. As I’m walking to the kitchen, I hear voices of others in the house including Landon’s mom. I turn slowly trying to go back to my room when I hear Landon call my name.
“Davina, your just in time for my mom’s breakfast it’s the best.” I want to run back to the room and get back in bed, but Landon with his big mouth calls me.
I come into the kitchen, and everyone is sitting, while his mom is at the stove.
“Come sit with me,” James says.
The look Landon gives his brother is deadly, but he doesn’t get to be possessive. He didn’t even respect me enough to be there when I woke. I walk over to where James is sitting and pull out the chair stari
ng at Landon with a smirk.
“Davina has my brother been nice to you?” James asks. Before I can respond Landon speaks.
“I’ve been nothing, but nice to Davina. You should not worry about Davina James.” Landon’s voice is commanding.
I look, and everyone is staring at me with wide eyes. I reach for the coffee and ignore the feeling that everyone knows Landon and I had sex last night. His intense eyes are on me; I take a chance and look up, and he winks at me.
He’s enjoying that everyone is staring at me.
“Landon have you told Davina about your gift.” His mother says.
Some of the others around the table all start smiling and nodding like I should know his special gift.
“No he hasn’t, but I would love to know Landon.”
His mother sets down two pans of scrambled eggs, a big pan of bacon along with plates of toasts, pancakes and even fruit.
Landon looks at me, and his eyes are dark then turn a fire orange color. My eyes widen, and he laughs.
“I’m not just a great lion king, I was given the gift from the sun god to transform into a fire walking lion.”
I look at him like he’s a little crazy, but it seems everyone at the table looks pleased that their king has this ability.
“Fire Lion…you mean to tell me that when you shift you become a fire lion?” I ask.
“Yes, and to my knowledge, I’m the only one that has this gift currently.”
“There’s no way I am going to believe that until I see it.” I challenge.
James starts laughing and so does some of the others at the table. It’s like they are all in on a joke, but I’m excluded.
“Just remember you challenged him, Davina,” James says, shaking his head.
“After breakfast Davina, you and I can go for a run, and I’ll show you, but then you will owe me a favor of my choosing.” He says, stuffing his mouth, but his eyes are on me.
I couldn’t back down even if it meant owing Landon.
“I look forward to seeing the fire lion.” I tease.
Everyone starts talking and eating. Landon eats in silence laughing occasionally at James’ jokes, but every time I look his way he’s looking at me. I glance over at his mom and she smiles at me and offers me some biscuits.
The more people start to settle back into their chairs the more I realize that not only did I challenge Landon, but now I must change in front of him and could possible owing him a favor. I hate being in debt to anyone.
Landon pushes away from the table and stands.
Everyone’s conversations stop, and he has all eyes on him.
“Davina, it’s time for us to go on our run, besides I like to run with all new members of my pride. I need to know the animal as well as the human part.” He states.
I push away from the table and stand too.
“Well, I need…”
“You need to follow me, Davina, everything else will wait, come.”
I want to defy him and go to the room, but I get the feeling it will not go over well with anyone at the table.
He walks out the back door, and I follow. James and his mom follow behind us, among a few others from the table. It’s like they all couldn’t wait to see the special gift of fire lion.
When we step out on the back porch, the sun is high and bright. Landon walks off into the field and looking at him under the sun he looks so peaceful and happy. I walk off and come closer to him stopping a few feet away.
“You can come closer Davina.”
“If you turn into a ball of fire Landon I don’t want to burn up.”
“You will not burn unless I want you to, now let’s get out these clothes.”
I look behind me, and everyone is still watching. Then James yells out.
“Landon try not to frighten the new member.”
Landon smiles at his brother and then yells back.
“I’ll try, she doesn’t believe me and as is my nature I must show her I will never lie.”
Landon rips off his shirt, and it’s in shreds on the ground. He’s being a show off right now. I roll my eyes and pull my shirt over my head gently. The only one who can see my breasts is Landon. Even though it’s common to get undressed with shifters around, I’ve never been comfortable doing it, since I’ve always been alone.
Landon pushes his pants down and my mouth waters. I should have made sure to taste him, but he controlled everything during sex including my release. After my pants are off, I place my hands on my hips waiting for this fire lion to happen.
“Ladies first Davina, change, run, and I’ll chase.”
“What? You’re the one with the special gift, you change first.”
He looks at me and shakes his head no. I look back and fold my arms over my chest.
“Change before I start chasing you now.” He teases.
Unsure whether he would chase me. I get down on the ground and start my transformation.
My back arches into the air and my mouth extends, and I can feel my body going from human to lioness. My eyes stretch, and my teeth start to get bigger and longer, and I can even feel the hair pushing through my frame. Soon I’m on all fours in front of Landon.
He then speaks.
“Your fur is deep orange and dark brown Davina very unusual, but by far the most beautiful lioness I’ve ever seen.”
I open my mouth and give a little roar at his approval, but then I take off running. He doesn’t know, but I’m as fast or faster than others. That’s when I hear him behind me, it’s not what I expected.
Chapter 7
Landon
As I watch her change, I notice how beautiful the dark orange in her coat is. I turn and look at the others who are standing with their mouths open, I’m sure wondering about how deep the orange and brown is in her fur.
When Davina takes off running the need to chase her takes over. I get down on all fours, and I can feel the fire running through my body like a damn has broken. It doesn’t feel hot, at all to me, just soothing. I raise my head up to the sun, and it’s the best feeling ever. Soon I’m changed into the king a lion king. My fur is not burning yet, as I want to show Davina how it happens.
I take off towards her, and it’s not long before I catch her scent and can see her in the distance. She’s fast, but I’m faster, Davina probably thought she would be able to out run me, but she doesn’t know that I’m guided by the sun. It gives me power and strength. I’m not like other lions I’m the Zodiac Leo.
When I finally catch up with Davina, I bump her slightly, and she rolls over and then stands back up quickly. She steps back slightly, but then she comes closer. The tips of my fur are red all over.
“Davina are you ready to see,” I say, communicating with her using my mind. She steps back like she’s afraid. Davina must have never used this skill or don’t know how.
“You can speak to me too, just think of something, and I will hear it,” I speak again.
She tilts her head at me then comes forward some.
“What are you, Landon?” She asks.
“I’m the ruler of my pride and bear the gift of the sun.”
“What does that mean? Are you a god or something?”
I roar with laughter. Then allow my body to become flames, my entire fur is engulfed with red and orange flames hanging off me, my eyes become a bright light and give me sight into Davina’s structure as a lioness.
“It will not burn you, Davina,” I say, hoping she remains calm.
Davina turns and takes off at full speed, and I chase her down. She runs, and I chase.
I find her hiding behind a tree roaring at me to stay back.
“Davina, be calm,” I command. She looks from side to side in fear, but then I can see her calming.
“Landon your fucking on fire, please stay back I don’t want to die.”
“I would never hurt you, and just so you know I feel a strong need to protect you.”
“You left me in the bed by myself last night, are
you not compassionate?” She sounds hurt even sending a mental message. She roars again at me, and now I feel bad for leaving her alone. I didn’t mean to hurt her feelings, but clearly, I have.
“I’m sorry, please forgive me, my intentions were not to hurt you, but because I’m unmated my body doesn’t rest unless I’m alone until I mate with my queen.”
She doesn’t respond she just lowers herself to the ground. I lower myself in front of her, and we stare at each other for a while.
