Her Guardians

by Piper Phoenix

  He moved his mouth down my neck and back up, hesitating just a second before hungrily pressing his lips to mine. I instantly melted into him .

  Darrin’s kiss was beyond magical. My entire body became putty in his hands. It was almost as if he’d cast a spell on me and there wasn’t a damn thing I could do about it. Not that I wanted to .

  “Are you a witch?” I said in an airy voice .

  “No, why,” he said pulling back only to answer. His lips quickly returned to exploring every inch of my exposed skin .

  “Just feels that way. I don’t think I could say no to you,” I said watching his hand as it slid up my thigh .

  He grinned. “So, I could do whatever I wanted to you ?”

  My breath felt like it was stuck in my throat. I pressed my lips together for a moment. “Maybe .”

  His hand slid between my legs. Darrin watched my eyes .

  “So… I could do this ?”

  My body shuddered when I felt him against my already soaked jeans. I closed my eyes and nodded as his fingers slid back and forth .

  “Yes,” I moaned .

  He gently guided me back until I was laying back on the seat. “How about this ?”

  His other hand glided up my abdomen, stopping to cup my breast. I stretched my arms over my head and writhed against his touch .

  He thumbed my nipple, and I felt as though I was about to burst. “You’re so fucking beautiful. I need you just as badly as you need me .”

  Darrin practically growled as he grabbed the hem of my shirt and yanked it up over my breasts. He pulled my bra down, popping both of my breast out. The cool air pricked at my skin .

  “Jesus Christ,” he groaned grabbing my breasts and squeezing them together as he tugged at my erect nipples .

  He pressed his hard cock against me, and I couldn’t help but cry out at the pleasurable sensation. I could tell not only did he want me, but he was also huge .

  I pressed my palms against the door while Darrin rubbed his jean-covered cock against me. My breasts jerked upward each time he hammered into me .

  His hand reached between my legs again, and he stroked me aggressively over my jeans. It took everything I had not to go rolling over the edge .

  “May I?” he asked looking into my eyes as he touched the button on my jeans .

  I nodded, and before I knew it, he had my pants down around my ankles. He held my legs up towards the ceiling and dove down between my legs .

  “Oh!” I squeaked when his tongue glided between my folds .

  “Mmm,” he said just before delving his tongue deeper inside .

  Because of the folded-up position, I was in, and the jeans around my ankles, it felt as though he had complete control of my body. His tongue swirled around my clit as he dipped a finger inside .

  “Oh God!” I cried .

  “Shh!” Darrin said, glancing up at me. His fingers didn’t stop .

  Oh shit. I’d almost forgotten where I was .

  “I want to fuck you,” Darrin said between heavy breaths. “You’ll be fully recharged.” He grinned. “And so will I .”

  I was nervous, but I didn’t want him to stop. I wanted to feel him too .

  “Please,” I moaned .

  His eyes moved up and down my body stopping at my pussy. He watched his finger glide in and out before he pulled back .

  Darrin watched me as he unzipped his pants and pulled out his cock. He was huge .

  My mouth dropped open, and my breathing felt ragged. Oh, dear God .

  Darrin held my legs up and twisted them to the side slightly. He held my hip as he guided himself inside me .

  “Oh God, oh God, oh God,” I said as he went in deeper and deeper .

  It felt amazing. My whole body sparked as if it had come to life .

  I didn’t know what to do with my hands. It was strange, but I felt completely under his control as he drove himself into me slowly .

  “Please!” I said not knowing exactly what I was begging for. All I knew was that I never wanted it to end .

  Darrin held my hips as he rocked himself into me. Slow. Then hard. His movements were dizzying. It felt as though I was floating on top of a cloud .

  His hand moved between us while he slipped in and out. I watched as he gripped himself around the base of his cock and then slid his fingers forward to flick my clit .

  “How’s that feel?” he asked as he watched his cock vanish inside of me .

  “So. Good.” It was almost as if I’d forgotten how to speak .

  “I just love watching you,” he said, his eyes moving up and down my body. “Your pleasure is my pleasure .”

  And I could both see, and feel that he was telling the truth. He moved faster, and I could feel my orgasm teetering on the edge .

  I wanted to let it overtake me. I wanted it to surround me in complete and utter bliss .

  Darrin flicked and pounded harder. I closed my eyes and pressed my palms against the door. My body rolled over the edge, and my climax exploded around me .

  Every inch of my body tingled with an intense blast of sinful pleasure .

  “Oh yes, yes, yes,” I moaned as Darrin’s hips rocked into me .

  He thrust himself deeper and groaned. “Oh, Fuck .”

  Together, we floated back down to earth. He helped me back into my pants and watched me with a smile as I tucked myself back into my shirt .

  Once we were both situated he smiled and pulled me into his arm. He kissed the top of my head .

  “I can’t wait to do that again.” Darrin rested the side of his head on top of mine. “Maybe next time in a bed. Or a countertop. Table ?”

  I smiled. Hopefully, I wouldn’t have to wait long. I felt more powerful than I ever had. Darrin and Erik too had brought something out in me, that I couldn’t quite explain. Whatever it was, I loved it .

  “Maybe somewhere outdoors,” I said closing my eyes. “I’ve always wondered what that would be like .”

  “Sounds like a date .”

  “Hmm, that would be nice too .”

  “Anything you want .”

  I yawned and snuggled in closer. Darrin was extremely comfortable, and I was exhausted .

  When the car stopped, I opened my eyes. We were back at my apartment. Gage and Roman were standing outside, staring at the car .

  Darrin pushed open the door and wrapped his arms around my waist. He slid his hand around my neck and softly kissed me .

  “Aren’t you coming?” I asked .

  “I need to go back to the temple. I can come back later if you want .”

  I nodded. “I definitely want .”

  “See you soon, then .”

  I climbed out of the car, but before I got more than two steps away, my mom rolled down her window and motioned for me .

  “If you’re wondering why Gage is here, it’s because I hired him as your fourth,” she said .

  “Fourth?”

  “Your fourth guardian .”

  I shook my head. “I need four ?”

  “Every witch has at least four. Want to guess how many I have?” She grinned .

  I rolled my eyes. “No thanks .”

  “Anyway, don’t pester either of them to leave because they won’t. They’re here to guard you,” my mom said as she started to roll up the window. “Good night sweetheart .”

  The window was closed before I could even say anything. I turned around to both Gage and Roman wearing the exact same smile .

  Chapter 13

  Eve

  G age waited outside of the apartment. I offered to let him come inside but he said my mom had given him very specific orders .

  Roman asked if he could help me with anything, but I didn’t have anything for him to do. I gave him the remote and insisted he just make himself at home .

  He flicked through the channels rapidly, eventually stopping on some kind of old mystery show. I picked up the mess from when Marcus’s minion had been in my apartment trying to kidnap me .

sp; “How do you like working for my mom?” I asked straightening a pile of books .

  “I work for you now,” he said looking over his shoulder with a big grin on his face .

  I straightened my spine. “Is that right? So, if I told you to leave you would ?”

  “Well, not exactly. OK. How about this… I work for both of you .”

  “Sounds like a conflict of interest to me,” I said raising an eyebrow .

  “Not at all, I’m very happy to work for both of you.” He looked into my eyes. “Whatever you want or need, all you have to do is ask. Come here,” he said patting the spot on the cushion next to him, “take a rest .”

  “Oh, I was just sleeping in the car,” I said, but my mind drifted off to the moments before I’d fallen asleep. I bit my lip and smiled at the memory. How would Roman feel if he knew about all that? “I don’t really feel tired, but thanks .”

  “Does my mom really think something is going to happen to me?” I asked glancing out the window. “Is it really necessary to have you here? How long are you guys going to be hanging around here anyway ?”

  Roman chuckled. “That’s a lot of questions .”

  “Sorry.” I waited for answers .

  “She just wants us to make sure you’re safe. Just pretend I’m not even here.” I knew based on his tone that he agreed with my mom. He thought it was better for them to be here .

  Me on the other hand, I didn’t think I needed to be protected every minute of the day. They’d taken care of the problem. What else could go wrong ?

  If I needed constant protection, what was the point of having gone to see my uncle Marcus? If he wasn’t going to stop chasing after me, then why had we even wasted our time going there ?

  I wondered if my mom had figured out what exactly he’d wanted when she’d had her private talk with him. The whole thing was unsettling, but he was my uncle. It wasn’t like he’d really hurt me, would he? Sure, he was bizarre, but I couldn’t imagine he’d do anything to me, especially when he knew my mom would retaliate .

  “This is all so frustrating because no one things I can take care of myself,” I said flopping down on the other side of the sofa .

  Roman scrunched up his face. “I don’t think anyone thinks that. Your mom has guardians. Every witch does. It’s not a matter of whether or not you can take care of yourself. It’s a matter of being as strong as you possibly can, just in case something should go wrong .”

  “Have you guarded someone before me?” I asked studying his face .

  Roman’s hair was wild. He had dark eyes and tattooed arms. There wasn’t anyone that doubted that he could take care of himself. Maybe I needed some tattoos. Although I doubted that would change my mom’s mind about my strength .

  “You’re my first.” His eyes stayed focused on mine. I could feel the warmth fill my cheeks. They were probably an embarrassing shade of pink. “It’s like I won the lottery .”

  “It’s like my mom put a spell on all of you. Wonder if she did it to Gage too .”

  “What do you mean?” Roman asked, his nose scrunching up .

  I looked away. “Never mind .”

  “No, what do you mean .”

  “OK, so, you all are like super good looking, and well, I have this strong connection I can feel with each one of you. Sorry, that’s so embarrassing to say because I’m sure you don’t feel it. It’s just all so crazy — ”

  “No, I feel it too, but I can assure you that no spell was cast upon me. It’s just how it is for us guardians and our masters .”

  My eyes widened. “Please don’t call me that .”

  “Sorry. OK. It’s kind of like we’re meant for you, and you’re meant for us. There is no denying it .”

  “So even if I wanted you to go away, you couldn’t ?”

  “Do you want me to — ”

  “No,” I said waving my hands. “I just wondered .”

  Roman shrugged. “Well, if you wanted me to go away then I guess I wouldn’t really be yours .”

  “OK,” I said snapping my mouth shut. I didn’t want to know more. The more I heard, the less it felt like I had any choices about anything .

  Roman turned back toward the TV. I couldn’t concentrate on any of the program, so I got up and returned to tidying up. After ten minutes or so I stopped and stared at the back of Roman’s head .

  If he was my guardian, and so were Gage, Erik and Darrin then… what did that mean exactly? They didn’t care who I pulled from? Were we like a team ?

  In the car, Darrin hadn’t seemed to care one bit about watching Erik and me in the rearview mirror. If anything, he seemed to have liked it .

  Did Gage and Roman feel the same way too? Anytime I needed to pull they’d be there ?

  It was overwhelming. “I think I will go to bed after all .”

  “OK. Just call if you need me,” Roman said with a smile that was ungodly sexy .

  I went into my bathroom and undressed. I needed a shower. Something to help clear my mind .

  After I toweled off, I changed into my sleeping attire. The old t-shirt and soft cotton pants were comforting. It finally felt as though I could relax .

  Of course, as I laid there staring up at the ceiling, all I could think about was Roman out on the couch. Then I thought about Gage waiting outside the door. Erik… Darrin. All of them .

  What if they were all with me? Would they really just… oh dear Gods and Goddesses, I couldn’t even believe what was going on in my mind .

  I chuckled to myself. That wouldn’t ever happen. It wasn’t like the other witches were doing that with their guardians… were they ?

  I wished I would have paid more attention to my mom. Although, I couldn’t remember her ever discussing guardians with me. She’d wanted to keep me home as long as possible, and I guess when I left, she’d assigned me secret guardians .

  Maybe she had known how I would react. She’d wanted me to feel independent, and if she would have told me about the guardians lurking about, I would have freaked .

  Not that I’d ever tell my mom I was glad they’d been around. I didn’t even want to think about what would have happened if Erik hadn’t been here when Marcus’s man had tried to take me .

  It was less than ten minutes after I laid down that my phone rang. I groaned as I reached over and picked up my cell phone .

  Unknown.

  Odd.

  “Hello?”

  Nothing but a strange, high-pitched static like noise. And then I felt something through the phone. I wanted to let go, but I couldn’t drop the phone. It felt as though it was glued to my hand .

  It felt as though something was draining my energy through the phone. My breathing slowed, and my body flopped back onto the bed .

  I tried to move my body but I couldn’t. It was as though I had become adhered to the bed. What was happening ?

  “Help!” I shouted as darkness surrounded me .

  Chapter 14

  Eve

  W hen I woke up, both Gage and Roman were looking down at me. I couldn’t fully open my eyes .

  “Help,” I murmured again .

  “Who was on the phone?” Gage asked Roman as he passed it over to him. “I bet that’s one of Marcus’s numbers .”

  Roman glared at him. “How do you know .”

  “I worked for him. What a mistake,” Gage said, touching my cheek. “Yeah, he’s drained her .”

  “She’s going to be OK?” Roman asked .

  Gage unzipped his jacket and disappeared from sight. I listened as he walked across the room and closed the bedroom door. He locked it .

  What was happening ?

  “We should call Lorne,” Roman said, he too had gone out of my sight .

  My bed creaked, and before I knew it, Gage was hovering above me. He looked into my eyes. “We’re going to help you .”

  I felt his hand on mine, and then a hand on my other. Roman came into view and laid down next to me .

  They were touching my expose skin. T
heir fingers caressing the back of my hand. Their hands lightly stroking my cheeks and down my neck .

  At first I felt powerless, but it didn’t take long to feel it working. But because it was only touch, it was working slowly .

  “More.” It was the only word I could manage to eek out. It felt like I was paralyzed, but with their touch, I felt the life returning to my bones and muscles .

  Gage slid his hands up my body, while Roman glided his down. It felt wrong to be with both of them, but at the same time, it felt so God damned right .

  Roman kissed my neck as Gage’s hand slid up my shirt. My lips parted as I sucked in a sharp breath .

  I twirled my fingers into Roman’s hair and inhaled the woodsy scent of his shampoo. He pulled back slightly and looked into my eyes. “It would work so much better if all this fabric wasn’t in the way .”

  Gage tugged at the hem of my shirt. I bit my lip and nodded .

  In seconds my shirt was flying across the room, and Roman was yanking down my pants. Their hands caressed every inch of my body, and I could feel my energy stores filling .

  “Oh God,” I moaned when each of them cupped a breast. When they both looked at me, I thought I was going to lose it right then and there .

  Gage smiled and tugged at my nipple with his lips over the fabric of my bra. “Still so much fabric .”

  “You first,” I said with a sharp breath. Life was returning to every part of my body .

  “You got it,” he said enthusiastically. He stood up at the side of the bed and slowly started to undress while Roman rolled my nipple between his fingers. “I’d stop at my underwear too, except I’m not wearing any .”

  He unbuttoned his pants and pulled them off. His cock sprung up before he climbed back into bed. Gage pushed his hardness against my hip, and I wondered when I was going to wake up from this fabulous dream .

  Roman undressed quickly and climbed back into bed. He left his underwear on, but I could both see and feel his excitement .

  I pressed my palm against Roman’s silky, solid chest before sliding it down across his abs. He kissed my neck as I reached my hand inside his boxers and gripped his cock .
