Portals 1: Fallon's Men

by Kyla Logan

  Chapter Seven

  Jarek felt Fallon stiffen in his arms, and knew that this was as far as they dared take things — for the moment.

  Break away, love. She’s getting skittish.

  She tastes wonderful, Jarek.

  I know, love. But we promised we would take it slowly. Although I have to admit this was a pleasant surprise.

  I know! She needs us. Her body recognizes us even if her mind hasn’t acknowledged it yet.

  Jarek moved away from Fallon and plucked a dry toweling cloth from the pile situated beside the pools. He wrapped it around her shivering shoulders, drawing her back against him once more.

  He was pleased when she made no move to draw away from him.

  Soren cupped her face in his hands and said, “You are so lovely, my mate, that we can’t help but want to touch you. I’m sorry if we rushed you.”

  Jarek felt the last of her stiffness leave her body as she sagged in his arms.

  “It’s all right, Fallon. Don’t be upset, we wouldn’t hurt you for anything. Come, let us take you to your room. Marissa is there to help you get ready for dinner. But first…” Jarek broke off to turn her around to face him. He kissed her softly at first; then as she responded, he drew her closer to him once more. His cock was rock hard and if he didn’t call a halt, things could go quicker than Fallon wanted.

  Drawing back from her he brushed her damp hair from her face, loving the glazed look of passion in her eyes. Oh yes, maybe she wasn’t ready to admit their tie, but her body knew him… and Soren.

  That’s all that’s keeping me from dragging her to our bed, Jarek. The fact I know that soon she will be there because she wants to be.

  And you thought things couldn’t get better between us.

  Jarek put the happiness he couldn’t help feeling into his mind voice. Soren’s face flushed as he looked over Fallon’s shoulder at him.

  “Will you be all right if we leave you with Marissa to get ready, mate?”

  Fallon shook the dazed expression from her face and looked up at him. “I don’t know what pull or influence you both have, but I hardly know myself around you. How is that?”

  “We’re your mates, my love. We’ve been waiting for you longer than you can know. No, say nothing more now,” he said as she began to interrupt him. “Get dressed and we will have something to eat… then we will answer your questions.”

  “Promise? Promise me you won’t put me off and will tell me how I came to be here?” Fallon said in a shaky voice.

  “We both promise, Fallon,” said Soren as he came to her other side, took her hand and raised it to his mouth, placing a gentle kiss on the back of her hand.

  Fallon shook her head, a rueful smile on her lips. “Something tells me I should have let you make love to me now. It’s not like me at all…” She turned away from them and walked to the connecting door to her room.

  Turning her head she said, “I expect answers tonight. I won’t wait for them any longer.” Then she turned the handle and walked into the next room.

  Jarek looked at Soren after the door closed behind their mate. “We better get ready, although how I’m going to be able to dress with this in the way…” He pointed to his cock that was still as hard as it had been while he was kissing Fallon.

  “Let me help you,” said Soren softly.

  “No, love, the next time we make love I want it to be with Fallon beside us.” He stared into Soren’s eyes. “You do understand, don’t you?”

  Soren grinned. “Of course I do. I might not have before I saw her, but I do now.” He coughed then said, “I didn’t understand before what the final member of our Triad would mean to us. I do now, love. I thought what we had couldn’t get any better. But now? I can see that with Fallon joining us we will be closer than ever.”

  Tangling his hand in Soren’s hair, Jarek brought his mate towards himself and kissed him lightly. “Good. Now you understand what being part of a Triad means to a Guardian. Not just on the physical level though… wait until we are joined and you will see that we’ll be stronger one hundred fold.”

  Pulling away, Jarek moved to the doorway to their room, knowing Soren was following him.

  They had a mate to court tonight.

  Jarek glanced at the set table as he walked into the dining room with Soren. Everything looked good, but he expected nothing less from his people. They had all awaited the arrival of Fallon eagerly, knowing that a complete Triad guarding their home would bring nothing but good to this dimension.

  “How long does it take a woman to get dressed?” Soren asked.

  Laughing, Jarek said, “As long as it takes, love.”

  He focused his mind on Marissa, and gently linked with her to see how far into the preparations Fallon was. Jarek was glad to see that they were getting ready to leave the bedroom. Breaking off his connection he returned to his own body once more. “They’re coming now,” he said.

  “Good.”

  Nathan entered the room at that moment, halting any reply he was going to make. “I’ve told Rob and Jed that they are jointly in charge of things while I am away. All I need now is to find out which dimension I need to visit first,” he said, coming to stand beside Soren.

  “Wonderful. Once Fallon gets here we can discuss this over dinner.”

  He stopped talking as a smiling Marissa led Fallon into the room. Jarek felt his mouth open. Although he had seen what Marissa saw, it wasn’t the same as getting the full impact in person.

  Fallon had on one of the traditional laced up blouses that the women found so comfortable. This one was in a lilac silk fabric that suited her colouring to perfection. He especially liked how she had moved the cap sleeves down over the top of her shoulders. She also had on one of the long, floating silk skirts in a deeper shade that matched perfectly with her blouse.

  He noticed she had a hesitant look on her face as she moved towards them, so he moved forward and took her hand, raised it to his mouth, and placed a kiss on her palm. The flush on her face pleased him.

  He placed her hand on his arm and introduced her to Nathan. “This is Nathan, our Captain of the Guard. He’ll be joining us for dinner tonight.” He nodded his head to Nathan. “This is our mate, Fallon.”

  After the introductions were over and polite exchanges made, Jarek led Fallon to the chair on his left before taking his seat at the head of the table. Soren sat at his right, with Nathan beside him.

  Silence fell as the first course was brought in, and they all began to eat. While they waited for the next course Fallon began to fidget in her chair.

  “Is something wrong, Fallon?” asked Jarek, laying his hand over hers. Goddess, just the touch of her smooth skin did things to his body. His cock hardened and thickened, making him wish they were alone so that he could pull her onto his knee.

  “Just impatient for answers, Jarek. You promised you would explain things tonight.” As she replied, Fallon brushed back some hair from her face.

  “What do you wish to be answered first?”

  “How I got here would be a good start. And do you know what happened to Marina?”

  “First things first, love. Where was your friend standing when you were at the stone on your dimension? We know she couldn’t have come through with you, as it was only set for your signature.”

  “Now that is what’s worrying me, and what do you mean it was set for only me? You keep telling me things but never explain!” Fallon ground out.

  Soren interrupted before he could answer. “Where was Marina standing? It would help us if we knew that.”

  “All right, she was standing on my right as I faced the stone pillar. When we arrived at the site, we were both drawn to the two stones. She to the one on my right, and me to the one I touched.”

  “Shit!” Nathan said.

  Fallon turned to look at him. “What’s wrong?”

  “That particular Portal would have taken your friend to the Wolves’ dimension. We — our people do not inter
mingle,” said Soren.

  “Can you back up, Fallon? You said your friend was drawn to the stone the same way you were?” Jarek said, leaning forward.

  “Why? Does that make a difference?”

  “Please, this could be important, Fallon.”

  “Well, yes. When we got there, Marina said she could feel the earth’s energy, and felt that it was centred on the two stones. So we walked over to them right away to see why we felt that way. I know she touched the other at the same time as I touched the glowing symbol on the one I was standing beside.”

  “Why do you say that?”

  “Because I heard her exclamation of surprise and looked at her. She faded out of sight just before I felt the pulling of the stone I was touching. The next thing I knew I was in bed with you beside me.”

  Jarek cupped his chin on his linked fingers. “Are you sure she faded from sight?” Jarek asked.

  “Yes, I’m sure, because she faded first, Jarek. Why, what does it mean?” Fallon’s eyes glistened with unshed tears.

  Jarek glanced in concern at Soren before answering Fallon. “I think that your friend must be the complement of the Wolf Guardians. That is the only explanation of why she would have felt so drawn to that particular stone.”

  As he said that, he felt the truth of his statement. It all made sense.

  “What does that mean, Jarek? You think she is their complement? Wait… you said that’s what I am to you… your mate.”

  Jarek had to ask something that had been on his mind from the first mention of wolves and Fallon’s acceptance of that term. He would have thought a human would want to know what was meant by that term. “Fallon, when Nathan mentioned the Wolf dimension, you never asked what or who they were. Why?”

  Chapter Eight

  Fallon flushed. She had yet to tell them she was a Selkie and quite aware of the different paranormal races inhabiting her own world. Which raised yet another question… what or who were the people of this land? Because if they had different species in the other dimensions, then the people inhabiting this one could be paranormal too.

  Nibbling on her lower lip as she thought about what she was going to say, she was startled when she heard Soren groan. Glancing over at him, she caught the hot and intense stare he directed at her mouth.

  Goddess. The way he looked at her, she could feel his hands and mouth on her body. She felt her nipples harden into points that she knew were visible through her silk top.

  Jarek’s hand covered her own; his hand looked so much darker against her paler skin. Its work-roughened touch only intensified her body’s reaction to these two men.

  Maybe they were right.

  Maybe she was their mate.

  “Fallon?”

  “Sorry. I was wondering how to say this, but there’s no easy way I suppose.” She looked at the men. Would they accept her for what she was?

  “I’m not human. I know you thought I was since I came from the human dimension, but my people are of the Selkie.” She stopped as Nathan gave a small start of surprise. She was glad that Soren and Jarek just motioned her to continue.

  “In my world there are a mixture of paranormal species, vampires, shifters, both feline and wolf, and the Mers.” Fallon wondered if she should say what Marina was, then decided they had to know everything. “Marina is a Mer. She is also my sister-in-law. Her twin is mated to my brother.”

  “You can cross-species mate, Fallon?” asked Soren.

  “Yes, although this is not known outside of our two species. I don’t know if I should even discuss this with you.” Fallon looked at the two men who said they were her mates. They didn’t show any mistrust or disgust at what she said. Should she trust them with such important information?

  Then she looked deeper into herself, at what her body had been trying to tell her from the moment she had opened her eyes and saw their concerned looks.

  She was their mate!

  Fallon felt a momentary lightheadedness when she admitted who they were to her. She glanced over at Soren and Jarek, noticing the shaky hands they rubbed over their foreheads. “What is it? What’s wrong with you?” asked Fallon.

  She tried to stand up. Tried because she felt the faintness return twofold. What was wrong with her?

  Jarek whispered, “It’s all right, my mate. We were taken by surprise just now.” He looked deeply into her eyes.

  Fallon was stunned by the possessiveness in his hot, burning gaze. She glanced at Soren and saw the same expression as he looked at her lips then down to her hard nipples. Fallon’s breath caught in her throat. Something was going on here that she didn’t understand.

  She was peripherally aware that Nathan had slipped quietly from his chair and had left the room, closing the door behind him.

  Thankfully the faint feeling she had was fading, but then she became aware of something else instead. She could feel both Jarek and Soren.

  “Tell me what’s going on. Why can I feel you inside me now?” Fallon asked shakily.

  “Something we didn’t expect to happen tonight, mate. We were prepared for a longer courtship than this,” Jarek said with a broad smile pulling his lips.

  Soren stood up and made his way to her side. Fallon watched as he reached for her, and pulled her to her feet. His dark blue eyes were filled with passion, and without saying anything he gathered her into his arms.

  Her breath caught in her throat as his hand closed over one breast possessively. The other tangled in her hair as he pulled her head back so he could close his mouth over hers.

  His kiss demanded a response; as though this was his way of claiming her for his own. Fallon felt the warm, firm hands of Jarek caress her shoulders before his hot mouth closed over the soft spot on her neck. His teeth scraped once, twice, then he sucked the delicate skin into his mouth before leaving her neck once more.

  She felt the sleeves of her top being pulled down her arms, then — because Soren had unlaced the front of her blouse — it fell down her arms to her wrists, then dropped down at her feet.

  Soren bent his head to her breast, tongue swirling over her nipple on first one breast then the other. Jarek reached around and lifted her two mounds for Soren to feast on. He tasted her as though he had been starving.

  Fallon felt overwhelmed by the feelings running through her body. How she was able to sense their feelings and emotions she wasn’t sure. But feel them she did, and it was… wonderful! The depth of need and want that flooded her mind and body was amazing. She hadn’t thought men could feel this type of emotion.

  And it was all for her.

  Fallon felt as though her body was on fire. Jarek moved his hands lower towards her skirt, slowly pulling it down, inch by inch until it slipped over her legs to the ground.

  Now she was standing naked between them… again. But this time she felt no embarrassment, no shyness — it felt like the most natural thing in the world.

  Soren pulled back from sucking and licking her nipples. He looked over her shoulder at Jarek and whatever silent communication they shared caused him to lower his head once more. But this time his tongue swirled over her skin as he made his way down her stomach towards the tight thatch of curls that covered her pussy.

  Fallon cried out in pleasure as Jarek started to pull and twist her nipples firmly in his fingers. She loved how he knew how much pressure he could apply without turning the pleasure into pain. Soren’s wet tongue touched her clit and she went wild with need.

  Clutching his hair in her fists she tried to push his mouth into her pussy, but he laughed instead. “Wait, little mate, let me enjoy your scent first. You have no idea how pleasing your intimate aroma is to me,” Soren said huskily, before his fingers found her hot and wet centre. He inserted one finger into her channel, moving it deeper and deeper until it was fully inside her.

  Fallon gasped at the intrusion. “More please,” she whispered, turning her face towards Jarek, who kissed her with a growing passion that was heading for a supernova.

  Soren
withdrew his finger, and then carefully inserted two, as he tenderly stretched her pussy. “Tell me what you want, Fallon,” he whispered. “If you tell me, I will provide it for you.”

  “More, I need more, Soren,” said Fallon, breaking away from Jarek’s kiss.

  “Then you shall have more, little mate,” Soren said before he withdrew his fingers and replaced them with his mouth. His tongue probed deeply, then went deeper as her body started to fragment. She cried out as waves of pleasure shattered her composure. Fallon tried to pull away from Soren, but he clamped his arms around her hips as he licked and nibbled on her clit. He continued to drink up her juices as she shuddered in pleasure, supported in Jarek’s arms.

  Fallon came back to herself to find that she was cradled protectively in Jarek’s arms as he sat on a chair. She lifted one heavy arm and traced his lips with a shaky finger. He opened his mouth and caught her digit in his warm depths, sucking gently before giving it a little nibble then releasing it.

  She found she didn’t need to ask where Soren was. He was in a little corner of her mind now, and when he re-entered the room, she knew he was carrying a blanket in his hands.

  He wrapped it around her naked body and pulled her up. Soren placed a kiss on her forehead before letting Jarek take her into his arms, and the three of them left the dining room.

  Jarek let her slide down his body. She shuddered as she felt his thick, hard cock brush over her pussy. How she wanted this man… not just him though, she wanted — no, needed — Soren too.

  Soren came up behind her, sandwiching her between hard, male bodies. Bodies that needed hers as much as she needed theirs.

  “I know you are wondering what happened downstairs, my love. Let me ask you a question that will surely answer your own,” said Jarek. “Did you admit to yourself that we are your mates?”

  Fallon gazed up into his burning green eyes, thinking back to her last thoughts before she was overcome with dizziness.
