Rescued by the Wolf (Other World Series Book Four)

by Ramona Gray

  Kane, sitting with Reese and Abby and Val, stood and the shifters quieted down.

  “It is time to retire, my brothers and sisters. The wind is a cold one and there are a few of us who have an early morning. Remember, Theran is in charge while I am gone. Be safe and watch out for each other.”

  Sara stood and took Raina’s hand. They walked toward the cabin as Radek joined them. “Promise me you will be careful, Radek,” Raina said before grasping his hand.

  “Aye, I will, Raina. I will bring you back something from the human village.” Radek squeezed her hand before opening the door.

  “I would like that,” Raina said. “Come, the two of you must sit with me for a while. I will miss you both terribly when you’re gone.”

  She sat in front of the fire and without looking at Sara, Radek joined her. Sara glanced at her bedroom before sitting down next to Raina. She wanted to go to bed and get away from Radek before she did or said something foolish to him. But Raina was holding her hand and giving her a pleased smile and she couldn’t bring herself to disappoint the teenager.

  * * *

  “Raina,” Radek said nearly half an hour later. “It’s time for bed.”

  Raina laughed. “I am not a child, Radek.”

  “Aye, I know, but we are getting up early tomorrow and Sara will need as much rest as possible. It is a long and cold journey.”

  “You are right,” Raina said. “I did not think of that. Forgive me, Sara.”

  “It’s fine, honey.” Sara tried to smile at her. She wondered if she was the only one feeling the tension in the room. She had spent the last half-hour trying not to remember how it had felt to have Radek between her thighs and failing miserably. She wanted him badly and she didn’t know how much longer she could sit in the same room without throwing herself at him.

  Don’t be so foolish, Sara. He is finished with you – have some self-respect.

  Raina bounced to her feet and kissed Radek’s cheek before hugging Sara. “You will wake me before you leave, will you not, Radek?”

  “Aye, Raina.”

  “Promise?” She said anxiously. “I want to say goodbye.”

  “I promise,” Radek replied as Sara stood and followed Raina toward the bedrooms.

  Raina disappeared into her bedroom and Sara hesitated in front of the door to her room.

  Say goodnight and go inside. Don’t make a fool of yourself by begging Radek for another night.

  “Goodnight, Radek,” she said softly and then made a low cry of surprise when he spoke directly behind her.

  “Goodnight, Sara.”

  She whirled around and pressed her back against the door as Radek stepped forward until he was nearly touching her.

  “How are you feeling?” He asked.

  “F-fine,” she stuttered.

  “Not sore?” His gaze drifted down to her pelvis and heat blossomed between her legs.

  “No,” she whispered. “I had a hot bath this morning.”

  “That is good to hear.”

  He took another step toward her and she moaned when his chest brushed against her breasts.

  “You should go to sleep,” he said hoarsely. “We will be leaving very early in the morning.”

  “I – I’m not tired,” she said.

  “Are you not?”

  “No.” She wet her lips and he made a harsh growl of need.

  “I have thought of nothing but you all day, sweet one,” he said. “I would very much like to join you in your bed again tonight.”

  “I want that too,” she said.

  He smiled. His fangs were already out and she ran a trembling hand down his hard arm.

  “Will you give me a – another lesson, Radek?”

  “Aye, sweet one. It would be my pleasure,” he muttered before capturing her mouth in a soft kiss.

  She fumbled behind her for the door handle as Radek pressed light kisses against her throat. His hand covered hers and he opened the door before lifting her. She wrapped her legs around his waist and kissed him as he shut the door and carried her to the bed. He sat down and she straddled him, pressing herself against his erection before helping him pull off his shirt. She kissed his broad chest, licking and tasting his rough skin as he cupped the back of her head and growled softly. She sucked on one flat nipple before nipping it experimentally. He groaned and she glanced timidly at him.

  “Did that hurt?”

  He smiled and stroked her hair back from her face. “No, sweet one.”

  He tugged her sweater and her shirt over her head before cupping one small breast. He rubbed her nipple as she licked his collarbone before reaching between them and rubbing his cock.

  “Will you teach me how to please a man with my mouth, Radek?” She whispered into his ear.

  He stiffened and she watched as an odd look of anger crossed his face.

  “Radek? What’s wrong?”

  He cupped the back of her neck. “I will teach you how to please me with your mouth, Sara, but only me. It is only my cock you are to touch and taste – no other. Do you understand?”

  “Radek…”

  “Do you understand?” He repeated with a scowl.

  “Yes,” she whispered.

  “Good.” He pushed her gently to her knees on the floor between his thighs before unbuttoning his pants and sliding them down his legs. She stared at his cock, moisture pooling between her legs, before grasping the base of it and squeezing gently.

  “Sara,” he gave her a strange look, “if you do not want to do this, you don’t have to. Do you understand?”

  She nodded. “I want to.”

  She leaned forward and pressed a kiss against the shaft. He jerked and she frowned at him. “Hold still, Radek.”

  “Aye, hold still,” he muttered. His hand curled into her hair and he tugged her lightly toward the head of his cock.

  She slid her mouth down around his cock, making a muffled noise of surprise when he jerked again, and sucked experimentally on the head. His hands tightened in her hair and she took more of him into her mouth. The skin was velvety soft and she liked the slightly salty taste of him.

  “Look at me, Sara,” he rasped.

  She stared up at him as she stroked the base of him with her hand and traced her tongue around the head. He groaned loudly and petted her hair before smiling at her.

  “Suck harder, my sweet one.” He was almost pleading and she moaned around his cock when he reached down and cupped her breast.

  “You’re doing so well,” he said before pinching her nipple.

  She gasped and then sucked firmly on his shaft, sliding her mouth up and down before licking him again.

  His hips were rising up to meet each downward stroke of her mouth and he pressed lightly on the back of her head. “More, sweet one. Take more of me into your mouth.”

  She took as much of him into her mouth as she could, her lips stretching around his thick length until he hit the back of her throat. She choked, her eyes starting to water and pulled away.

  “I’m sorry,” she whispered.

  He shook his head. “There is no need to be sorry. Take only as much as you can.”

  She nodded and took a deep breath before sucking on his cock again. She varied the pressure of her hand and mouth. Her pussy throbbed with every soft groan of pleasure he made and she repeatedly tested how far she could take him.

  Her jaw was starting to ache and his cock was swelling in her mouth. She felt a moment of panic – how could his cock grow even larger – and then Radek’s hands were curling around her arms and he was lifting her to her feet.

  “Did I do something wrong?” She asked.

  He stared at her red and swollen mouth. “No. I was growing too close to coming and I want to fuck you.”

  He leaned forward and kissed her flat abdomen. “Get on your hands and knees on the bed, sweet one.”

  She climbed on to the bed, feeling a moment of self-consciousness that disappeared when Radek rubbed her ass. She parted her legs
and moaned in disappointment when he didn’t touch her pussy.

  “Radek, please fuck me,” she whispered.

  “Aye, sweet one, I will.”

  She waited with breathless anticipation for his cock. A dim part of her worried about the pain but she shoved it out of her head. It would not hurt as bad this time, she was sure of it.

  She could barely contain her shriek of pleasure when instead of Radek’s cock, his hot, wet tongue slid across her slit. She clutched the bedsheets in her hands and arched her back like a cat, moaning loudly when he stiffened his tongue and slid it into her wet entrance. His fingers parted the lips of her pussy and she moaned again when he licked her clit delicately.

  “Oh, please!” She cried breathlessly. “Please!”

  He licked her clit repeatedly as he pushed his finger into her pussy. Her muscles clamped around him and he sucked her clit into his mouth as her orgasm roared through her in a glorious rush of pleasure that made her head spin. She twisted and writhed against his mouth before collapsing against the bed. His hands circled her waist and he hauled her back to her hands and knees. She trembled violently as he pushed the head of his cock into her pussy.

  “Relax, sweet one,” he murmured before rubbing her lower back with his warm hands.

  She took a deep breath and forced herself to relax as he pushed further into her. There was a slight twinge of pain that turned into a mild feeling of discomfort. He withdrew and slid into her again, waiting patiently as she stretched around him. When he was sheathed fully within her, he held her hips firmly and stroked back and forth.

  Sara moaned loudly. His cock was rubbing against the front wall of her pussy and it was sending an odd but extremely enjoyable sensation through her body.

  “That feels so good, Radek,” she panted.

  “Good,” he muttered before pressing on her lower back. She lowered her upper half obediently to the bed and he rubbed her raised ass again before thrusting back and forth in a quick, hard rhythm that stole her breath. She was making unintelligible noises of pleasure, her hands clenching and unclenching with each rhythmic push.

  “Oh God,” she moaned. Her legs were beginning to shake. Every stroke of Radek’s cock was making her squirm in delight, and her pussy squeezed helplessly around his thick shaft when her second orgasm rushed through her.

  Radek cursed under his breath and plunged in and out of her, his hands clamping down on her hips as he thrust back and forth. He arched his back, his muscles straining as he found his own release and came deep inside of her wet pussy. She made another soft cry and breathing harshly, he pulled out of her. She fell on to her side and he curled up behind her. He kissed the back of her shoulder and cupped one firm breast as she shuddered and made soft moans of pleasure.

  “So good, Radek,” she sighed.

  “Aye, sweet one. It was.” He moved her under the covers and slid in behind her. She turned and wrapped her slender body around his, resting her head on his chest as he stroked her back with the tips of his fingers.

  “Will you stay the night with me?” She whispered.

  “Aye, I will.”

  Chapter 18

  “Promise me you’ll be careful.”

  “I promise, Val.” Abby wrapped her arms around his waist and kissed his throat. “I love you.”

  “I love you, little dove,” Val said gravely. “Stick close to the shifter. Without a sword, you’re vulnerable.”

  “I know.” She could see small rays of sunlight through the cracks in the boards across the window and she kissed him again. “Go to your daysleep. I’ll be back soon.”

  He pulled her back into his embrace and kissed her fiercely. “I wish you would stay.”

  She sighed and rested her forehead against his. “I can’t, Val. I need a sword.”

  “Michael can bring you back one.”

  “I need to pick out my own sword, feel the weight of it in my hand,” she said. “I’ll be fine. I was on my own for over a year and managed not to die, remember?”

  “I remember,” he said.

  Abby smiled when Violet flew out from Val’s long hair. She kissed Abby on the nose and Abby shook her head when the pixie tried to disappear into her hair.

  “No, Violet. It will be too cold for you in the forest. Stay with Val.”

  The pixie pouted and Abby stroked her tiny back. “I’ll be back soon, I promise.”

  She touched Val’s face and kissed him a final time. “I love you, I’ll see you soon.”

  When she stepped outside, Michael and Sara and the shifters had already gathered at the edge of the forest. Raina had her arms wrapped around Radek’s waist and he kissed her lightly on the forehead before she released him and hugged Sara. Reese was standing with Kane and the alpha was whispering into her ear. She nodded. Abby could see tears in her eyes and Kane kissed her tenderly before squeezing her hip.

  “Please be careful, Kane,” Reese said quietly as Abby joined them.

  “Aye, I will be. You have nothing to fear.” Kane smiled reassuringly at her before glancing at the others.

  “Are you ready?”

  They nodded and he turned back to Reese. “Do not go into the forest alone, my love. If you need anything, ask Borek. All right?”

  “Yes. I’ll be fine, just worry about yourself,” Reese said.

  He squeezed her hand and Reese kissed him again before hugging Abby. “Be careful, Abby. Stay close to Kane.”

  “I will. See you soon, Reese,” Abby replied.

  She glanced at Sara. The girl was standing with Radek and she gave the shifter a cool look before holding out her hand. “Sara, walk beside me.”

  “The girl stays with me.” Radek took Sara’s hand.

  “I think the girl can make up her own mind,” Abby said.

  “It’s fine, Abby. I want to walk with Radek,” Sara said. She glanced up at the shifter and Abby frowned at her look of adoration as Kane led them into the woods.

  “It will feel good to have a sword again.” Michael fell into place beside her and she smiled at him.

  “Yes, it will.”

  Hanif, dragging a wooden sleigh full of pelts, hurried to catch up to them. “What will you do if the human village has no swords?”

  Michael shrugged. “Go further until I find a village that does, I suppose.”

  “Kane will not allow it,” Hanif said. “It is risky enough travelling to this village during the cold months. We will be lucky if we do not freeze to death in a blizzard.”

  “Then why did you offer to come with us?” Michael.

  Hanif grinned. “I never could resist an adventure. The bigger the possibility of death, the more anxious I am to join in.”

  Abby laughed and poked Michael in the side. “Sounds like someone else I know.”

  Michael rolled his eyes. “I do not have a death wish, Abby.”

  “Nor do I,” Hanif said. “But I have no desire to sit warm by the fire when there is an entire world to explore.”

  Michael grinned at him. “I couldn’t agree more, Hanif.”

  There was a rustling in the bushes to the left of them and shifter and human alike froze. Kane inhaled deeply before relaxing and staring at Sara. “It seems your pet has joined us.”

  “Meeka, come here, baby,” Sara called softly.

  The massive koran emerged from the bushes and rubbed against her. She staggered back and Radek grabbed her arm to keep her from falling. Sara scratched the koran’s throat and he licked her face before purring loudly.

  “You’re a good baby, Meeka,” she said.

  The koran licked her face again before walking docilely next to her. Kane shook his head and snorted, “A koran as a pet. I would never have thought it possible.”

  Abby grinned at him. “You’ve got to open your mind to different possibilities, big guy. Not everything is what it seems, right?”

  “Aye,” Kane replied before glancing at the sky. “Come, we must move more quickly.”

  “Adi
na? Are you here?” Sienna knocked again before trying the door. It opened and she stuck her head into the cabin. “Adina?”

  Adina came hurrying out of the bedroom. The room was dark despite the bright afternoon sunshine - a blanket covered the window - and Adina smiled nervously at her before closing the bedroom door.

  “Hello, Sienna. Come in.”

  Sienna closed the door behind her and followed Adina to the small kitchen. “Were you sleeping, Adina?”

  “Um, I was just taking a nap.”

  “Were you?”

  “Aye. What can I help you with?” Adina replied.

  “Neil cut his hand this morning and Reese said you had some salve that would help heal it.”

  “Do you need me to look at it?” Adina asked as she pulled a jar from the open shelving in the kitchen.

  “I don’t think so. It’s stopped bleeding.”

  Adina handed her the jar. “Apply this twice daily for a week. It should help.”

  “Thank you.” Sienna hesitated before glancing at the closed bedroom door. “Are you allowing Faren to bite you?”

  “That’s none of your business,” Adina said sharply.

  “I suppose it is not,” Sienna said. “But I have been bitten many times by vampires, Faren included, and know something of the obsession it creates.”

  “You told Neil you didn’t want Faren. I heard you say it,” Adina said.

  Sienna sat down at the table and after a moment, Adina joined her.

  “What I told Neil was not the truth. For the week after we arrived, I did feel a yearning for Faren. He was the last vampire to feed from me.”

  “You seemed to control it well enough,” Adina replied.

  Sienna sighed. “That is because Faren had not been feeding from me for long, Adina. Where I was before – the vampires took turns feeding from me. Each night it would be a different one and because of that, the need was not as strong. Do you understand?”

  “Aye.”

  “Faren had fed from me two nights in a row and even with that short amount of time, I still wanted him when he stopped. Even though I am in love with Neil.”
