Brailynn (A Rogue Enforcers Novel)

by Samantha McCoy

  “Andrej, please…,” she breathlessly whimpered.

  “Please what, moje láska?” He looked into her eye to find that her heat matched his own. “Do you need me?” he asked, hoping, pleading she would say yes.

  And she didn’t disappoint him. The one word spilled from her lips along with a breathless moan. “Yes.”

  That was all Andrej needed to hear. He lifted her into his arms and carried her over to the bed where he gently lowering them both to the mattress. Brailynn spread her legs so that he was cradled in between them.

  Andrej captured her lips with his own. He kissed her deeply then broke contact as he trailed his tongue and lips down the curve of her neck and to the swell of her breasts. Again, he sucked one tight nipple into his mouth as he pinched the other.

  Brailynn’s back bowed as she gasped. Her soft moans spurring him on.

  Releasing one tight little bud, Andrej kissed his way over to the other and gave it the same attention.

  “Mmm,” she moaned.

  Andrej continued to kiss and lick his way down her body. He placed a soft kiss over her left hip bone and smiled to himself when she gasped. He ran his tongue along the edge of the small, tight shorts she wore.

  “Brailynn,” he said between kisses.

  “Hmm?” she mumbled.

  “Never leave this bedroom dressed like this again,” he growled. “I cannot believe you left the house dress in so little.”

  She looked down her body at him with lust-filled eyes. “Then I would suggest you never try to kill yourself again.”

  “Deal.”

  “Deal,” she agreed.

  He dipped his head back down and teased her by gliding his tongue across her lower abdomen.

  “Andrej…” she whined.

  He smiled as he sat up between her thighs. Lifting both of her legs, he placed them on his shoulder and slowly eased her out of her shorts.

  She was stunning.

  Her dark brown hair was spread out over the pillows. Her body was flushed a beautiful shade of pink, just for him.

  Us. The beast corrected.

  She smiled up at him and slowly lifted her legs and began to spread them. He could tell she felt awkward and a bit unsure.

  “Amazing,” he whispered, hoping it gave her some courage. “You look absolutely amazing.”

  Her smile grew.

  “That’s it, baby. Spread them for me.” Andrej’s gaze dropped to the junction of her thighs, and his smile vanished. The sight of her bear to him was almost more than he could handle. He lowered himself between her legs and inhaled deeply.

  “What are you doing?” she asked, suddenly alert and close to panic.

  “Shh.” He rested his hand between her breasts. “Lay back down.”

  She hesitated slightly.

  Andrej saw her fear. Her anxiety.

  “It’s okay,” he reassured her. “Let me pleasure you.”

  “But…” Her brows furrowed. “Why did you inhale like that?”

  He chuckled. “First, I love your smell. It’s… intoxicating. Second, it allows me to imprint your scent into my head. So, no matter where you are, I will always be able to find out.”

  She gave him a strange look. “That’s not creepy, at all.”

  Again, he chuckled. “Stop it,” he told her. “When you become a vampire, you will do the same to me.”

  Her brows dipped even farther. “Will it hurt?”

  He knew what she was referring to. “No.” He gently kissed the inside of her thigh. “Now, that’s enough. Do you want the bonding ceremony or not?” He already knew the answer.

  “Yes.” She smiled and laid back down on the pillow. “Bond me, baby!”

  Andrej chuckled as he kissed his way up her thigh, easing his way closer to his gift, he cursed himself for lying to her. The transition wouldn’t be a walk in the park. Hell, it wouldn’t be easy at all. But he hadn’t been able to tell her that. He couldn’t take her changing her mind.

  Not now.

  Not ever.

  He knew why she insisted on the ceremony, and he still couldn’t deny her. All he could hope for was that when it came time for him to leave this world, that the Fates would make it quick.

  Chapter Thirteen

  Brailynn

  She tried being sexy and sultry, but she’d failed horribly. Thankfully though, Andrej had been a gentleman and hadn’t pointed it out. This was all new to her. Brailynn didn’t have a clue about sex. Well, she knew the basics, and only because sex-ed was a necessary topic in the Coven. So, while she knew all about the birds and the bees, Brailynn was clueless about how to get from point A to point B.

  She recalled her first kiss and realized that she should have paid more attention. Where was she supposed to put her hands? Eyes open or closed? Should she cheer him on?

  Ahhh! she screamed in her head. There was so much pressure. Was sex really like this? she wondered. Because if it was, Brailynn wasn’t too sure she was interested in it. This is not appealing.

  She gasped.

  His mouth was on her private area and she had absolutely no idea what to do. She felt his tongue slid over her clitoris and suddenly, her brain stopped working altogether. Nothing else mattered to her except his mouth on her. It was like the sensation of what he was doing caused her to short-circuit.

  “You taste so divine,” Andrej muttered against her vagina.

  She flushed with embarrassment.

  “So beautiful.”

  She liked that. There was something about his compliments that pleased her. It made her feel warm inside. Or maybe that was just him, in general. Brailynn wasn’t sure.

  Her hands moved toward his head, but she jerked them back. Did they go there? Her anxiety returned.

  She felt twitchy.

  Towards his head, yank back. Towards his head, yank back.

  It seemed to be a cycle that she was lost in.

  To. From.

  To. From.

  And then, the most amazing thing happened. Andrej’s lips clamped around her clit and his tongue started doing the most wonderful things – and all thought vanished.

  Her hand went to his head and she pulled him closer. He growled into her causing a delicious vibration. Her muscles tightened and she started to tremble.

  “Oh, my god. Andrej,” she moaned.

  And that must have been the magic word because suddenly he was going after her like a starving man. Like a ravenous dog who finally seized the steak.

  And she discovered she loved every delirious moment of it.

  Brailynn tried to catch her breath, but there was no use. Andrej devoured her – heart and soul. And at that moment, as her muscle seemed to lock and her knees clamped around his head, Brailynn screamed out his name. “Andrej!” Her back bowed and her eyes slammed closed as she trembled out her release.

  When it was finally over, her entire body felt drained. If she had known that having sex could be like that, she would have done away with the self-love stuff and hopped on the sex-train a long time ago.

  Her breathing was ragged. Her limbs felt like they weighed fifty pounds.

  She watched under hooded eyes as Andrej climbed off the foot of the bed and began to unzip his pants. The movement shouldn’t have been sexy, but it was. Her mate had a way of making everything he did look sensual. When he unsnapped the button and his slacks fell to the floor, Brailynn’s eyes widened.

  He hadn’t been wearing underwear.

  She quickly turned her head to give him privacy.

  “Do you not like what you see?” She immediately caught the worry in his tone.

  Her eyes flew back toward him and there it was again. He was big. Bigger than she’d expected.

  “Brailynn.” He snapped his fingers.

  She blinked.

  “I guess you do like,” Andrej laughed.

  Her face flushed in embarrassment.

  “Oh, moje láska,” He said as he climbed back on the bed and began to crawl between her legs. “Don�
��t be embarrassed. Ever. Not with me. We are yours. And you are ours.”

  “What?” she asked, confused by his wordage.

  He smiled down at her as he positioned himself at her junction. “Me and my bloodlust, mote láska. It lives and breathes just like me and it wants you just as badly as I do.”

  “Oh,” she replied as she felt the tip of his penis slide between her lips. “Oh!”

  “Yes,” he nearly purred. “That’s it. Open for me.”

  Hesitantly, she spread her legs farther. “How is…”

  She didn’t get a chance to finish her sentence as a pain, unlike anything she had ever felt shot through her. “Oh. Oh. Oh.” She stiffened, which only caused the pain to get worse, but she couldn’t help it. “No. Please.” Every muscle in her body went into full-on lockdown mode.

  Andrej grunted. “Easy, Brailynn,” he said encouragingly. “Easy. Just relax.”

  “H… How?” she asked. “It hurts. It burns. Please!”

  Andrej instantly tried to retreat, but Brailynn’s body wasn’t allowing it. It immediately clamped down around him.

  “Brailynn…” he groaned. “So, tight. I can’t move.”

  Before she could say anything else, his mouth was on hers. He kissed her with so much passion, so much need, that Brailynn immediately became lost in it all.

  She craved it.

  She craved him.

  All of him. Every single inch.

  Brailynn began to move her hips. Slowly, her body took more of him. They both moaned in their pleasure. She trembled with desire.

  One of his hands gripped her hip as the other held him off her. And when he finally began to move along with her, Brailynn came undone.

  Their lips broke apart as they both gasped for air.

  “Shit. Shit. Shit,” he chanted.

  Inside, she could feel the heat build again. This time she recognized it for what it was. “I’m going to climax,” she panted.

  “So am I,” he groaned, moving a bit faster.

  Together, they moved as one.

  In. Out.

  Shallow. Deep.

  Faster.

  In. Out.

  Shallow. Deep.

  Faster.

  The rhythm continued until the sound of skin slapping against skin joined their moans to create the most beautiful symphony.

  “Andrej!” she called out as her orgasm raced toward the finish line. “Oh, my god.”

  “Shit. Fuck, Brailynn!”

  She felt his hand cup the back of her head as he lifted it and placed her mouth against his chest, right above his heart.

  “Get ready, moje láska,” he panted.

  In. Out.

  Faster.

  Harder.

  Shallow. Deep.

  Faster.

  Harder.

  It was so close.

  Right there.

  And that’s when she felt his teeth scrape against the pulse that pounded in her neck. The feel of him was so over the top erotic, that Brailynn’s orgasm hit full force.

  She clamped down around him. “Andrej!” she screamed.

  He pressed her mouth to his chest and ordered, “Bite!”

  She instantly did as she was told. A first, the feeling of her teeth sinking into his flesh caused her stomach to roll violently. But then, as the taste of iron filled her mouth, instinct took over and she swallowed.

  “Brailynn! Fuckkkkkkk!”

  Andrej’s teeth sank into her.

  The burn of them puncturing the skin vanished as quickly as it appeared. All she felt was euphoria. Complete and total bliss as she exploded around his cock again.

  He drank from her, and she from him, as they both came together. She felt his penis pulsating as he emptied himself deep inside her. And her body greedily took it.

  In the back of her mind, something seemed to stir. She couldn’t tell what it was, but she knew what it wanted. Him.

  It wanted Andrej. Every single ounce of him. Blood.

  Even as the orgasm began to subside, they remained connected. It was like they were switching blood. Her body filled with his and she gave all of hers to him.

  “Lick the wound closed,” he finally told her as he nuzzled her neck.

  She slowly glided her tongue over the bite like she was instructed. “That was…”

  “Amazing,” he finished for her.

  “Yes.”

  They both laid there, wrapped in each other’s arms, and Brailynn could feel nothing but pleasure and happiness coming from Andrej, and she reciprocated those feelings, tenfold.

  “So, what happens…”

  A sharp pain sizzled down her spine. Brailynn pulled away with a loud gasp. “Oh, shit.”

  “Mhm,” Andrej mumbled.

  She felt his tongue graze over the spot in her neck.

  She looked down to the spot where she had bitten him and smiled. “You’re marked,” she said in awe as she brought a finger up and lightly skimmed over it.

  “Yep.” He grinned back at her. “It’s called a mating mark.”

  “Will I have one?” she asked, her hand moving to the side of her neck.

  Andrej nodded. “Everyone will know you’re mine now.”

  “How?” she asked, genuinely curious.

  “You smell like me.”

  She laughed. “What?”

  “We now share the same blood. A perfect mixture of what is yours and mine now runs through both of our veins,” he explained.

  “I knew it.” She grinned. “It felt like I was taking you into my body.” As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized how stupid they sounded.

  But Andrej didn’t make her feel dumb. “Oh, you definitely were.” Andrej wiggled his hips.

  “That’s not what I meant.” She giggled as she swatted his arm.

  But her laughter instantly stopped when another sharp pain zinged down her spine. “Oh.”

  “What’s wrong?” Andrej asked. His face filled with worry.

  “Noth…” Another pain shot through her, robbing her of all words. Except this time, it was so hot and so painful that it caused her back to bow off the bed.

  Andrej scrambled to give her room.

  “Brailynn? What’s wrong?”

  Her eyes shot to his. All she could do was stare at him through their watery depths. The pain was nearly unbearable. It took her breath away. It burned. The only way for Brailynn to describe it was – it felt like fire was licking at her. Like lava was running in her veins.

  She couldn’t breathe. She couldn’t move. She couldn’t even get her voice to work so she could scream out her agony.

  It was like everything just… stopped. And then, as if a switch were thrown, the pain searing through her vanished, and everything went dark.

  “It will be okay, my child,” Boanna’s voice echoed in the back of her mind.

  “Use your power to ease the pain,” Tinia suggested.

  Brailynn tried to focus enough to call on the power of healing, but she couldn’t.

  “Hear my voice,” Vesla called. “Follow it with your mind. Block out the fire, Brailynn.”

  She tried to do what the fire goddess told her to do. Like a strand of rope in her mind, she followed it, and there, at the end of the long dark tunnel, she found salvation.

  A small break in the flames.

  Brailynn called on her powers, but this time, they felt different. They felt stronger. More intense. And maybe even… wild? She wasn’t sure if that was the correct word to use or now. But there was something about them that reminded her of a wild animal that was finally set free.

  “Good analogy,” Vesla praised. “Gaia kept her power under lock and key for quite some time. So, it’s no wonder they finally feel some life again.”

  “Be careful how you use them,” Tinia said.

  “She will be fine,” Boanna interjected. “Gaia choose wisely.”

  Brailynn ignored the goddesses and concentrated on the healing chant. Somewhere, she could hear Andrej’s vo
ice as he whispered how sorry he was. She felt a coolness against her face. And then, she heard the softest whisper of a beautiful lullaby.

  It almost sounded…

  But that wasn’t possible… her mother had abandoned her. She did care about her.

  Brailynn turned her head one way and then another, but there was nothing. Only darkness. She tried to open her eyes, but this time, instead of pain, she felt nauseated.

  The feeling was so powerful that she instantly shied away from it and allowed the darkness to pull her under again. At least there, nothing hurt. There was no fear. There was no pain. There was… nothing.

  Chapter Fourteen

  Andrej

  “What the fuck is taking so long?” He ran an aggravated hand through his hair. “It’s been a week.”

  After their bonding ceremony, the transition had started almost immediately. Andrej hadn’t been prepared for it. Nothing about Brailynn’s transition was normal. With others, it had taken an hour, if not two, before the changes started to happen. There had been enough time to explain what came next; however, for he and Brailynn, there was none of that.

  He watched her body bow. He stared as it contorted in ways that he never knew were possible. Her screams echoed off the walls, drawing attention from everyone. And then, she stopped.

  Everything.

  No air moved through her lungs. No heart beating out the most beautiful rhythm he’d ever heard. There was literally nothing. She laid on the bed, motionless.

  He had hurried to remove himself from the bed and had barely enough time to cover her before the door to his bedroom burst open and the entire complex piled into the room.

  “What the hell is going on?” Oscar demanded.

  Andrej, stood there with his hands covering his dick, narrowed his eyes. “Get out!”

  Harriet gasped. But she wasn’t looking at Andrej. Her eyes were glued to Brailynn. “He claimed her,” the older woman whispered.

  All eyes bounced between Brailynn and himself. Feeling out of place in his own bedroom, he quickly went to the closet to find some clothes. Most shifters weren’t modest, by any means, but he found the idea of being naked in front of a group of people rather classless. He always had.
