Magic, New Mexico: Seducing Sela (Kindle Worlds Novella) (Zolon Warriors Book 2)

by Tianna Xander

Panting, he took her hands in his. Resting his forehead against hers, he cleared his throat. “We can’t do this unless you’re sure you want to spend the rest of your life with me.” He shook his head. “I can’t do this again and not claim you. I can’t control the beast in me any longer. You could have been killed tonight, and my beast knows he can’t protect you as well without the claiming.”

  His heart pounded, and his hands trembled slightly—or was it hers? Either way, he knew he couldn’t take her again without claiming her. He had almost lost control the first time. He couldn’t risk it again.

  “I’ve never been into alpha males.” She placed her finger over his mouth when he would have interrupted. “Let me finish.” Standing, she moved to the head of the bed, patting the spot beside her. “My friends usually go for the alpha-male type, and every one of them has been abused.” She shifted her gaze to the darkened window. “I always said I would never fall for a bossy, chauvinistic male who would abuse me.”

  “I try not to be bossy.”

  “I know. Now let me finish.” She gave him what he hoped was a mock scowl.

  “I’m sorry. I’ll try not to interrupt you again.”

  “Sure you will.”

  He opened his mouth to object to her assumption and realized she’d goaded him into interrupting her again.

  “There you go again.” She shook her head. “I swear. I can’t even tell you that I think I’ve fallen in love with you, without having you interrupt me. If this is the way our—”

  Ceno kissed her. It wasn’t a gentle kiss. It was hard, demanding, passionate. She thrust her fingers through his hair, her nails digging into his scalp and arousing his other half.

  Rough. His beast liked it rough, and she would soon see what she’d wrought by tempting the beast.

  Pulling her into his arms, he rolled them over until she lay beneath him, her legs spread, his hips resting in the cradle of her thighs. His hands skimmed over her body, caressing as he carefully removed her clothing.

  He worshipped every inch of exposed skin as she yanked his shirt over his head. Her mouth, teeth, and tongue were everywhere, drawing growls of pleasure and desire from deep in his throat. This was how it should be between them. Both giving, both receiving, both feeling the pleasure only the other could give.

  Before he knew it, she’d released his cock from the confines of his jeans, her silky fingers sliding up and down the hard length. He arched into her caress with a groan, unable to stop his hips from jerking back and forth.

  Just the slight touch of her smooth hands was almost enough to drive him over the edge. He clenched his teeth, trying to hold on. There was no way he would allow himself to lose control. Not now. Not like this.

  Chapter Twenty-One

  Sela gasped when he grasped her hands and pushed them over her head. Holding them with one hand, he cupped her breast and stared down into her eyes.

  “Enough of that, my little cat.” He nibbled the underside of her breast. “This time is for you. You have to beg for it, or I cannot claim you.”

  “Beg for it?” She turned her head to the side, her face burning. “I don’t think I can do that.”

  “You must, lincha.” He lapped at her nipple before gently pulling it into his mouth and sucking hard. Pulling back, he stared into her eyes. “If you don’t, I cannot claim you. It is a safety measure that assures the female is always allowed to choose.”

  He lowered his head to suck her other breast, and Sela whimpered. Her clit throbbed, and liquid heat pooled low in her middle.

  “What does lincha mean?”

  “Beloved,” Ceno whispered before taking her earlobe between his teeth. “It means beloved.” He breathed the word in her ear, and she groaned.

  Long fingers smoothed over her skin as goose flesh rose in their wake. He trailed his fingers lightly over her breasts and down her body. Her stomach clenched when they slid over the soft flesh of her belly before cupping her sex.

  “Tell me you want me,” he urged. “Tell me you want this.” One finger delved between her nether lips, swirling through the wet folds and then expertly caressing the sensitive bud hidden there.

  His body moved over hers. His smooth blue skin sliding against hers, both hot and aggressive. “Tell me you want it, lincha. Tell me you want no other male touching you like this.”

  He breathed the words into her ear. Like warm velvet, they flowed over her, through her, until she could think of nothing more than having him inside her, completing their bond.

  “Make love with me, Ceno.” She flexed her hips. Fire nearly consumed her when he stroked her clit with expert precision. “Make me your mate. I want you. I want... this.”

  Her blood heated, thickened, flowing through her veins like lava as he moved lower still. Wedging his shoulders between her thighs, he lowered his head, lapping at the cream flowing from her body.

  “Have I told you how wonderful you taste? Sweet and just a little salty at the same time. The cream sliding from your dark, beautiful sex is nothing like anything I have tasted before.” He thrust his tongue deep, as though trying to get every drop of moisture from her body. “It’s like honey and chocolate rolled into one.”

  Thrusting two fingers deep, he sucked her clit into his mouth, and Sela screamed. The climax rushed over her, throwing her over the edge of the precipice. Countless waves of desire washed over her as he thrust his fingers deeper and deeper inside her throbbing sex.

  Before she knew it, he was over her, his large body blanketing her as he pressed the head of his shaft against her opening.

  Warmth settled over her as he pressed his heated length slowly inside her. Thrust after measured thrust brought her closer and closer to another orgasm. He surged forward, over and over, until she could think of nothing but the way his body felt against her, within her, as he took her to heights she’d never thought possible before.

  His already thick shaft grew thicker inside her as she wrapped her legs around his waist, her fingers gripping his biceps as he pounded into her, again and again.

  Sela’s eyes snapped open when coarse hair brushed her skin. “What...”

  “It’s my tail, baby,” Ceno said through clenched teeth as he his body surged over her. “It’s a part of the mating ritual,” he said before he captured her lips in another kiss. “Soon, my cock will lock inside you and make you come as you never have before.”

  Strange barbs appeared through the fur on his tail; clamping down on her nipples, they held them tight. The hair scraped erotically over the tight peaks as he picked up the pace, driving himself faster and deeper within her body.

  Without warning, his cock grew yet again. Ceno groaned as something scraped along her inner muscles, dug into her g-spot, and locked him in place.

  Warmth stole through her as he filled her with his seed just before the deep g-spot massage triggered another mind numbing orgasm. With a long, low moan, Sela stiffened and screamed his name.

  Ceno fell to her side, pulled her into his arms and curled himself around her. “I love you more than life itself.” He kissed her shoulder.

  “I... I love you, too.” Sela found it amazing that she could feel so much so soon. She was in love with a shapeshifter from outer space. Smiling at the absurdity of it all, she snuggled against him, closed her eyes, and drifted to sleep.

  “Four hundred and fifty thousand dollars?” Gramps said as she and Ceno entered the house late the following morning. “You’re telling me you sold that gold already?”

  “No, sir. Selling the gold isn’t our decision,” Reno said as he pulled his wife down onto his lap. “Our father just took a sample for testing, and that was their offer.”

  “There’s more coffee and cooked bacon in the kitchen,” Birgit said when they entered the room. “We kept your grandfather from eating it all.”

  “Did I just hear you say the gold is worth almost half a million dollars?”

  “Yes, ma’am.” Geno stepped forward, a grin on his face. “Let me be the first
to welcome you to the family.” He gave her a quick hug before turning to his other sons. “I guess sending you all into the far reaches wasn’t a bad idea after all.”

  Sela stared at the group of people in her living room and shook her head. “And it seems as though Providence has had more than one hand in getting us together.” She shook her head. “We ran out of gas at just the right time.”

  “Just think,” Ceno said as he gently pulled her back against him, “if you hadn’t gone to town two days ago, we never would have met.”

  “That’s true.” She leaned back and closed her eyes. Nothing felt more like home than Ceno’s arms. For years, she had thought the house and outbuildings were her home, now she knew differently. Home was Ceno, her grandfather, and her new family.

  “Life doesn’t get much better than this.” Reno hugged his wife to him with a smile.

  Never had she dared to dream for such a large family. After years of wishing, she finally had her big family. Sela tilted her head back and met Ceno’s loving gaze.

  “You’ve got that right, my new brother. You’ve got that so right.”

  Dear Reader,

  We met Ceno’s family in Bewitching Birgit three years after they crashed their spacecraft on the outskirts of Magic.

  Yes, our heroes were Zolon raiders, scavengers from a barren planet who hunted down resources from worlds not their own. Zolon raiders aren’t thieves. They have their own special code. They never abuse women or children, they won’t take resources from worlds occupied by sentient beings, and they never, ever, kill indiscriminately. Though, they have no problem killing when the situation warrants it. That’s when they become warriors. Usually, their mate brings this trait out in them.

  There is something on their world that kills most of their children off—especially the girls—before the age of twenty-five. They have no idea what it is, only that if they keep their mates off world during gestation, the child has a very good chance at survival.

  Knowing this, some of the raiders choose to stay on their mate’s home world or find another world where they can raise their children to adulthood, which is why our heroes have decided to stay on Earth. What better place to stay than somewhere rich with the things they need and where their technology isn’t obsolete?

  I hope you’ve enjoyed reading about Ceno and Sela. I enjoyed writing their story almost as much as having her grandfather come to life on the page.

  I look forward to writing the next installment of the Zolon warriors, in Charming Charly. Look for it in early 2018.

  As always,

  Tianna

  About the Author

  If you’re reading this, I hope it means that you’ve just enjoyed reading one of my books. Always a romantic, I started weaving little fantasies for my friends at the tender age of fifteen.

  After complaining to my husband that my favorite authors didn’t write fast enough, he asked a fateful question. “Why don’t you write one of your own while you’re waiting?”

  Once I started, he couldn’t stop me. I write in the morning, before work, and during my breaks at the day job, and I write at night when I should be relaxing. I’ve even been known to write in my sleep. Sometimes it even makes sense!

  I grew up in Southwest Florida where I met and married the love of my life. My husband was in the Navy for twenty years, so if you wonder where I have gotten some of my ideas, I blame him. I suggest you do the same. He’s always saying he has wide shoulders. Let’s load them up, shall we?

  Currently, I live in Michigan, seven miles from the nearest grocery store. I love living in the country. It gives me the peace and quiet I need to continue to write these stories for you. It also shows me a lot of natural beauty that I try to share with you in my books. While my titles may be dedicated to certain individuals who have touched my life in differing ways, please remember, every one of them is written for you.

  My most recent dream is to continue what I do—to share more stories with anyone willing to read them. My new dream is to be able to pursue both my writing and my husband fulltime. Do you think he’ll run?
