“Hush,” he murmured, pressing kisses to her neck gently. Rocking his hips forward slightly, he grinned at her moan. Cupping her bottom, he made her lean back against the wall. It gave him more room to play with her. Capturing a nipple, he sucked lightly and slid in and out of her wet, hot depths.
Arching up and into him, she lifted her hips by bracing her legs on his hips. “So good.” She all but purred softly. “God, I’ve missed you today.” Too many hours. It had been way too many hours since they had been able to make love with each other.
I always miss you when you’re not close, he told her honestly. Which was the truth. He didn’t know if it was the same with other bond-mates or if it was only for a time, but whenever she was out of his sight, he felt ready to climb the walls. Even if he couldn’t touch her, hold her, it was just nice to have her close so that he could look over and see her beautiful and treasured face.
I miss you when you aren’t close either. I feel as if a part of me is missing when I can’t see or touch you. She knew just how whacked that was, but it was the truth. She couldn’t handle being without him, and if that made her seem like one of those beings that simply had to have her man close, then that’s what she was.
Lifting his head, he drove into her harder and faster. “It makes you a bonded woman,” he whispered against her neck. “The ties strengthen over time but for a while it’s a desperation, a need to be close and in contact. Not bad.” He nipped at her skin. “Not bad at all.”
“I agree.” Jackie shuddered and let her head fall back again. “I think I might just have to train to go on missions with you because I don’t want to ever let you go.” She had trained with SEALs, her covert ops team, but never magical beings. Ever. “There,” she whimpered when he tilted just slightly and began to hit her G-spot.
“There?” he asked, pressing up tight against the spot, making her quiver and gasp. “When will you be going on missions if you get pregnant, love?” he asked her softly, stroking into her again and again, hitting her deep. Not that he was all that happy about her even thinking of going on some of the missions they did, but on the other hand, he also really liked the idea. He was seriously twisted.
“Until I get pregnant I could come on them.” She panted as she pushed back against him. “Oh God, so close, Al.” She was so very close that she could all but taste her impending orgasm on the back of her tongue. “Harder.” She growled and let her teeth brush his shoulder. “You know what I need,” she demanded.
Biting her shoulder to hold her in place without breaking the skin, he pumped into her over and over again. Lifting her legs higher, he barely noticed the rattling of the items on the dresser as they all skidded around and then fell to the floor.
Jackie screamed as she came. The moment that his teeth bit into her shoulder she was completely and totally gone. This had been what she had been waiting on, needed. Her legs were wrapped as tightly around him as she could get them and simply held onto him as she shuddered through one orgasm and then another.
Growling deeply, he wrapped her up closer to him as he came along with her. Closing his eyes, he shivered as she milked him. Releasing her shoulder, he panted hard and braced a hand on the dresser top. His knees were decidedly weak. She did that to him.
Jackie just smiled, her head falling against his shoulder. “God, I love you so very much,” she panted out happily. She was completely loose and relaxed. Squeezing him again inside of her body, she smiled. “By the way.” She pulled back and touched his cheek. “Aiden and I really are friends. We just pull your leg a lot because you are far too uptight, darling mine.”
“I’m not uptight,” he told her softly, lifting her off the dresser. Moving to the bed, he got them laid out and covered. He was a worrier and a thinker. He couldn’t help it. It just was how he was. Others assumed he was too serious or stuck up, but he was also, unlike his brother, incredibly shy, nearly debilitatingly so.
As a kid growing up, he’d loved the fact his brother preferred being in the spotlight. As an adult he’d forced himself out of his comfort zone quite a bit, but when things got tense, especially personally, he fell back on old ways and tucked in on himself. But he wasn’t explaining that to anyone. It was hard enough having a brother that knew the reason he hesitated in social situations.
Jackie frowned and stroked her hand over his cheek. “Why didn’t you tell me, honey?” she asked with a frown. “Because I didn’t know, love.” She had heard his uncertainty and felt terrible for it. “You have to admit, however, that you really have loved having me be so over the top for you, darling mine.”
“I don’t like talking about it,” he murmured softly. “For years, unless Aiden was there, if I was around more than three people my throat just closed up. I hated being in big groups, always have. When we first started working with the Guard, I couldn’t speak. I’d just do my job, get out of there, and pretty much melt into a puddle of nervous goo in my quarters. I’ve gotten over it a little since then, but I still have moments where I just can’t deal in crowds. Having my job helps a bit. It gives me something else to focus on and keeps me going instead of freezing up.”
“All that you need to know, my love, is that we are together, and between Aiden and me, we will always have your back. No one will ever, and I do mean ever, give you any trouble at all, love. This is my promise to you, darling, for now and always.”
“I know, love,” he murmured, hugging her close to him. Pressing a kiss to her neck, he breathed her in. “I wish I hadn’t had to tell you.” He hated admitting any weakness, and that was a big one.
“It’s not a weakness, darling. It’s a part of you. You are the strongest and most amazing man that I’ve met. You are truly amazing, Allister. I’ve never met anyone who’s as strong as you are, as amazing as you are, and yes, as ornery as you are, darling,” she added to see if he was listening.
“I’m not ornery,” he murmured, softly stroking her back. Closing his eyes, he breathed her in. “I hate the feeling that comes over me in those situations.” It was like a fist in his gut, a hand around his throat, and a shiver of pure dread down his spine. Shaking his head mentally, he nibbled on her skin, determined to distract himself from his thoughts.
“Well you don’t have to deal with them then, darling. You have me to deal with them for you,” she said with a grin. “I happen to very much love that, darling mine,” she said happily. She did. She loved this man and would do anything at all for him.
“You’re much too good for me, Jackie,” he whispered softly to her. Nipping at her throat, he cupped her bottom. Pulling her in closer to him, he slipped a leg up between hers. “But I’m never letting you go. Everyone can just be wonderfully jealous of the lucky bastard I am for snagging the best girl ever.”
“That’s right. They can just be jealous of you because you have me. I think that we should maybe, just maybe, try to see about making the bed rattle like we did the dresser?” she asked happily.
“The bed’s built a little more solidly,” he murmured, cupping her breast so he could toy with her nipple. “We may have to get overly creative to get a rattle. You up for it, my love?” he asked. He loved making love with her. She was so open and free with her feelings and demands. It was amazing.
Jackie grinned and nodded enthusiastically. “You had better bet your beautiful body I’m ready to do whatever it takes to make this bed shake like mad. I think that we should make sure that people even a thousand miles away hear you, my Dragon, making love with your bond-mate.”
Nipping her flesh lightly, he grinned at her. “I think we could manage that,” he murmured softly. Stroking his hand down her lithe body, he cupped her bottom and squeezed. Flipping her onto her belly, Allister moved over her and licked up her spine.
Getting up on his knees, she pushed back against him and whimpered. “God, I love this,” she murmured happily and shivered as she did so. “Do you know just how much this excites me?” To not see him, to not know what he was going to do next. She
loved it. Every single part of it.
“You’ve mentioned it a time or two,” he whispered softly with a grin. Nibbling down her spine, he pressed a kiss at the base, his hands massaging and kneading her ass. “You are very graphic in your wants and needs, darling. Part of what I love about you,” he said and bit her ass lightly, knowing it excited her.
That had her grinning and she jerked when he bit her ass. “Oh god, yes,” she whimpered and pushed back on him. “Again.” She pressed her face against the pillows and sighed. “Because that feels so very, very good.” Especially if she couldn’t see.
Nipping again lightly, he slid his tongue over her smooth flesh. Squeezing the globes, he moved to the other side and let her feel his breath on her skin. He was building the anticipation and knew it was working, given her restless movements and the ever heavier scent of her arousal. Sinking his teeth into her flesh, he bit down a little harder and pressed two fingers into her wet core at the same time.
“Oh God, yes. Honey.” She pushed hard back against him and whimpered. Jackie loved the way that Allister would get worked up and make himself a part of her very soul. “You seem to know very well exactly every part of my body to touch to make each and every part of my soul sizzle and burn.”
Because you are mine, he whispered in her mind, scissoring his fingers wide as he drew them out slowly. Flicking her clit, he spread her wide and put his mouth to her and sucked, his tongue stroking in deep. He could taste himself on her but all he cared about was the sweet honey she was leaking from her perfect cunt.
“Forever yours,” Jackie replied and pushed back against him. She loved the way that this felt, the feeling of being complete because he was a shadow in her mind just as she was in his. “Again.” She begged and shivered. “I love how you taste, for the record,” she told him happily.
You can taste me again later, he promised her softly, but for now it’s my turn to taste you and love you as I want. And I want you to come on my tongue, darling, before I put my cock into your wet and luscious pussy.
More. You know how much that I love you talking dirty to me. “Come on, darling, tell me in great detail just how very much you want and need me, what you want to do to me, my love.”
Chuckling softly, he flicked his tongue to her slowly and thrust it in gently. I’m going to put my cock into your wet pussy and I’m going to fuck you hard and fast. I’ll keep you pinned to the bed. You won’t be able to move anything but your inner muscles. You might beg, you might even plead, but I’m going to take you at my pace and then, when I’m good and ready, I’ll spill my seed deep into you.
“Oh thank God!” she shouted and pushed hard back against him. “Because it’s going to feel so very good to feel you spilling deep inside of me again. I love the feeling of you inside of me and spilling deep inside of me.” Especially now that they were shooting for a baby. She was determined to have sex as much and often as possible.
Grinning, he flicked his tongue over her and slid his hands up under her to cup her breasts. Squeezing them, he toyed with her nipples, tugging and rolling them as he licked at her. Scraping the tight buds gently with his nails, he rubbed his tongue to her clitoris.
Crying out over and over again, Jackie pushed hard back against him and whimpered. “More,” she begged. “I need more. Give me everything,” she demanded even as she pushed back against him in delicious and wondrous need. “Please, my love. I’m begging here. Please.”
What do you need? What do you want? he asked her quietly as he scraped his teeth against her soft, soft flesh. Tell me, baby, he whispered softly in her mind as huskily as he could. Nipping at her pussy, he ran his tongue over her slowly.
“I need to come,” she begged. “I want to come, need to come,” she demanded. “I want you to push your cock into me so hard, so deep that there is nothing else in the world that would separate us other than an act of Gaia herself.”
Knowing she meant it, he nipped at her again and shifted up behind her. Taking his cock in hand, he pressed it to her and fed it in an inch. Holding her down with a hand to her nape, he leaned over slightly. “Scream,” he ordered and thrust in hard, slamming into her all the way, the head of his cock hitting her womb.
Jackie did just that. She screamed. She screamed so loudly that she was sure that people three counties over could hear her. “Yes!” she screamed loudly. “God, baby, yes!” she cried out with a sob. She felt it all, the way that the mushroomed head of his cock pressed hard against the inside of her womb. Hell yes, this was what she needed!
Gripping her hips hard, he began to fuck her, sitting back at a slight angle to give her the deepest penetration he could. She was squeezing him tight, but damn it, he wanted her to have at least another orgasm before he let loose himself. “More,” he told her as he pounded into her over and over.
More was just what she would give him. She pushed back on him every bit as hard as he pushed into her. She heard herself screaming as yet another orgasm was torn from her. She shuddered, shivered, and felt every single ounce of her body spilling in desperate need.
Thrusting as she squeezed him even tighter, he growled as he continued to fuck her. “More,” he bit out through his teeth. He was losing his hold and wanted her to have another orgasm. Needed her to have one more, to feel absolutely boneless and fully pleasured at the end.
“More,” she shot right back to him with a shivering and shuddering cry of delight. “Because you feel so very good. I want everything, my love. I love the way it feels when you lose control, darling. Give me a bit of the Dragon. Come with me, my Dragon!” she screamed.
Leaning over her, he bit her shoulder hard and growled as he shifted her forward a little so he didn’t lose his angle. Cupping her pussy, he rubbed a finger to her clit. When she screamed again, he followed her into the abyss with a roar of pleasure muffled only by her flesh.
She could have sworn she felt him growing just a bit bigger inside of her body, and she shuddered as she did so. Screaming, she came, over and again. She came so hard that she could scarcely breathe because of it.
Rocking his hips forward with each spill of his seed, he groaned at how tightly she was holding him deep inside. Holding her wet pussy as they collapsed, he moaned against her skin. Panting hard, he held her intimately as they lay there living the aftershocks of their orgasm. Grinning, he nuzzled at her neck. “Again?” he told her because he knew the reply he’d get and it amused him.
“Again!” Jackie agreed with a sleepy smile of delight.
Chapter Eleven
“What do you mean, I’m not allowed to go on this mission?” Jackie had been training her ass off to be able to go on missions with her bond-mate and his brother and their team. She had worked her ass to the ground and now Allister was telling her no. Really? “Seriously, what is up? I’m not pregnant as you very damn well good and know.” It was something that was driving her batshit crazy, not being able to get pregnant as quickly as she had thought that they would.
Sharing a look with his brother, Allister took her arm in hand and led her a small way from the group. “Actually you are, love,” he told her softly and nodded at her disbelieving look. “Your scent changed this morning, which means your egg, along with my seed, has implanted as it should. You are carrying our child, so you can’t go on the mission.”
“What?” she asked in stupefied ignorance. “You mean?” At his look she smiled and jumped at Allister. “We are pregnant!” she cried out and hugged him tightly. “Oh my God, we are pregnant.” This was absolutely amazing. “Oh God, I’m pregnant.” It hit her hard and fast. “Which means, oh crap on a cracker, I can’t do any missions with you.” She got around to that brilliant deduction all on her own.
Chuckling as he held her to him, he nodded. “Exactly, love, that’s why you can’t go on the mission. I’d love to have you there, but you are in a fragile stage right now. Not state, stage,” he said when she gave him one of her “I’m going to gut you” looks. “Dragons have a hard time getting
pregnant, females, I mean. But for a human female it’s the same thing. You need to rest, be calm, and relax for at least a week so the egg settles in properly and takes hold. Too much running around or”—he winced—“sex can cause a miscarriage in the first week if the couple isn’t very, very careful.”
“I have to go without sex for a week?” she all but screamed. “Oh good lord, are you serious?” She knew that she was far louder than she should be, but she couldn’t help herself. “Even when I had a period, we didn’t go without sex! We would make love in the shower but good lord, a week?” She would fall over dead.
“You know there are others here not needing to know your sex life,” Aiden called out and grinned when they each shot him the bird. “And for the record, there can be no rough sex, just that boring missionary stuff,” he added and shifted out of the path of the pen hurled at his head at sonic speeds.
“Don’t freaking get me started with you,” she muttered. “Because I totally will have to beat you,” Jackie shouted. “Missionary? Seriously? God I hate missionary position, well boring missionary, that is.” She smiled and added, “There are times that missionary can be very, very freaking damn awesome.”
“There’s always BOB,” Aiden threw out helpfully and dodged another pen launched his way. “What? I’m trying to be helpful here, damn it. You should be listening to me instead of hurling office supplies at me, damn it!”
“And you should go.” Jackie had to think for a minute. “Go, go and peel Maya and Quincy apart so that you have your Magic User. Yes, that’s the fucking ticket. Just go. I need to talk to my bond-mate, without the byplay please.” She looked to Allister and quietly whispered, “You have been very quiet. Are you sure that you are all right with this?”
“Of course I’m all right with this, love.” He smiled at her. Leaning in, he kissed her gently as Aiden wandered off muttering under his breath. “My woman is pregnant with my child. What is better than that?” he asked her softly. Laying his hand over her belly lightly, he nuzzled at her neck. “I can’t wait to see you heavy with our baby.”
