Falling for Kindred Claus

by Evangeline Anderson

  “With pleasure,” Lisa purred and leaned forward to press her breasts against him again. This time his long thick shaft was sticking up between them and branding her belly—she rubbed herself against it provocatively until Asher groaned.

  Leaning down, he captured one of her sensitive nipples in his mouth and sucked hard, making her gasp and writhe against him. Then he switched to the other nipple and did the same—sucking her pale pink peak until it was rosy red with pleasure.

  “You’re very sensitive here, aren’t you?” he asked at last, looking up at her with half-lidded eyes. “Your nipples, I mean,” he added, flicking them lightly with his fingers and making Lisa squirm again.

  “Y-yes,” she admitted, rubbing against him again. “I always have been. I could almost come just from letting you suck them—suck me.”

  “Mmm, it would be my pleasure to attempt to make you come that way,” he murmured. “But first I want to taste your mouth once more.”

  Lisa was about to kiss him again when something in the far corner of the couch caught her eye. Frowning, she took a closer look and saw that Isabel and Asher’s chewchie were nuzzling each other and getting closer and closer.

  “Well, look at that,” she murmured. “It looks like Isabel and your little guy are having a reunion.” She cocked an eyebrow at Asher. “What did you name him, anyway?”

  He shook his head. “I haven’t had time to think of a name. But he makes this sound when he’s angry. Something like, ‘Gruff! Gruff!’ So maybe that would be a good name for him.”

  “Gruff it is then,” Lisa said, smiling. “Anyway, he and Isabel—”

  But her words broke off as she was suddenly flooded with lust—a vast rush of it that seemed to sweep over her like a tidal wave.

  “Oh my God!” she gasped, nearly breathless with need. “What…where is that coming from?”

  “From them, I think—our new little friends.” Asher’s voice was a low growl and his eyes were heavy-lidded with desire. “I think I’m beginning to see the appeal they hold for the Chorkay.”

  “Forget the Chorkay, I need you in me right now,” Lisa begged. “God, I feel like I’m going out of my mind with desire!”

  “I feel the same.” Asher cupped her pussy, rubbing into her slippery folds with his long fingers and making Lisa moan. “Gods, my little numalla—already so wet and hot for me.”

  “Don’t make me wait anymore,” Lisa begged. “This is driving me crazy!”

  Asher took her at her word. Fitting the broad head of his shaft to the mouth of her pussy, he entered her in one long, deep thrust.

  “Oh!” Lisa threw back her head and moaned, her fingernails digging into his broad shoulders as she felt her inner walls stretch to take him. It was a pleasure so deep it hurt—and that little bit of pain somehow made the pleasure even sharper.

  “Are you all right?” Asher asked in a hoarse voice and she knew he was holding himself back—not wanting to hurt her.

  She nodded.

  “I am now. You’re just so big.”

  “And you are incredibly tight, sweetheart. But I think you’re wet enough for me to thrust inside you.”

  With a low growl, he pulled almost all the way out and then thrust in again, pushing hard so that she felt the broad head of his cock kiss the mouth of her womb with every deep stroke.

  “Oh, Asher,” she gasped as she rode him, bouncing shamelessly up and down on his lap, her breasts jiggling with every thrust. “Yes…please! Fuck me…bond me!” And then she was coming—coming again though they had barely gotten started. She wasn’t sure if the orgasm came from outside herself—from what Isabel and Gruff were doing—or not, but either way it was intense. Her toes curled and her back arched as she leaned into the big warrior.

  “That’s exactly what I intend to do—bond you to me,” Asher growled and then she felt two things at once—his shaft swelling within her as spurt after spurt of heat and wetness filled her and the sharp pleasure-pain of his fangs sinking into her throat at the same time.

  As another, even stronger orgasm hit her, the air was filled with the sound of bells—big and small, loud and soft—chiming and ringing and gonging so loudly that Lisa looked around in shock.

  “What…what is that?” she gasped, because she couldn’t see any bells anywhere but they continued to ring as Asher bit her and bonded her to him.

  “That, sweetheart, is the Third Sign,” he told her but this time she heard his voice inside her head. “The sign that you are my fated mate and we will never be parted again.”

  Epilogue

  “So you’re bonded now?” Sophie asked hopefully. They were sitting in her living area having coffee and tea and some amazing homemade muffins that Liv said her cousin had made while Sylvan and Asher discussed business in Sylvan’s study.

  Lisa blushed.

  “We are,” she admitted. “It was…pretty amazing.”

  “Of course it was! Bonding sex always is!” Kat said and she and Liv and Sophie gave each other a knowing look.

  “Yes, but this was extra amazing. Thanks to our chewchies.”

  Lisa pointed at her head, where Isabel was sitting alertly and looking with interest at her friends.

  “I wondered what those little guys were,” Liv said. “Commander Asher has one too—I saw it on him when you guys came in.”

  “Are they pets?” Sophie asked curiously.

  “Much more than that,” Lisa said, but then found she couldn’t quite explain it. “They feel our emotions and then magnify them and feed them back to us,” she said. “And they can relay images and messages and they’re amazing companions.” She reached up to pet Isabel gently with one finger and the little chewchie hummed with pleasure.

  “And they make your sex life better too?” Kat asked, arching an eyebrow. “Sounds a hell of a lot better than the puppy my three boys are begging for.”

  Lisa sighed. She knew she would never quite be able to explain the chewchies to anyone who didn’t have one so she settled for changing the subject.

  “So I know the holiday is technically over but Asher and I are going to have a do-over Christmas,” she said.

  “A what now?” Kat asked, frowning.

  “A do-over Christmas,” Lisa said. “You know—since ours was kind of ruined by my bastard of an ex trying to kill me?”

  Sophie shivered. “I heard about that. If anyone deserves a do-over, it’s you, hon!”

  “Which is why we’re putting up a tree tonight and getting each other a few little presents to put under it,” Lisa said firmly. “Then we’re going to bake Christmas cookies together and sing some carols and afterwards, we’re going to eat popcorn and have a Christmas movie marathon.”

  “Oh—what are you going to watch?” Liv asked. “We love The Grinch at my house—but only the original version.”

  “And A Charlie Brown Christmas,” Sophie put in excitedly. “And The Little Drummer Boy—although that one always makes me cry.” She sniffed.

  “Make him watch Elf,” Kat suggested. “It cracks me up when he puts all that candy and maple syrup and stuff on the spaghetti. But I made the mistake of letting my boys watch it and they actually wanted me to fix it that way for them! Can you imagine? Ugh!” She made a face and they all laughed.

  “For tonight’s marathon, we are watching Love Actually and Nightmare Before Christmas,” Lisa informed them. “That way I can teach Asher about two holidays in one,” she explained.

  “Oh, I love both of those!” Sophie exclaimed, clapping her hands. “Oh, I’m so jealous—I want a do-over Christmas too!”

  “Speak for yourself,” Liv said dryly. “Daniel asked for a super complicated deluxe motorized marble maze and poor Baird was up putting it together until almost five in the morning. When I came in from the Med Center, I had to help him finish it.” She yawned hugely. “One Christmas is enough for me—I’m pooped!”

  “Well, I think you’re going to have a wonderful time, doll,” Kat said, smiling at Lisa. “I’m so g
lad the two of you are together now. But of course, we always knew you would be—it was obvious the Goddess meant you for each other.”

  “Well, it wasn’t quite so obvious to me,” Lisa admitted. “But a lot happened in a very short time that changed my mind.” She looked at Liv. “When I think what might have happened if you and your hubby hadn’t been late to the mall that day and if Asher hadn’t mistaken me for his contact…”

  “But we were and he did,” Liv said, smiling. “Because everything happens for a reason.”

  “I think you’re right,” Lisa said, smiling back. She had a warm, Christmassy glow inside that she somehow knew was going to last all year. Her life was so completely different from a week ago this time that she scarcely recognized it, but she was incredibly happy just the same. She had a man she loved, a new home, her sweet little chewchie companion…really, a whole new existence had unrolled before her. A good one filled with new friends and light and laughter and love.

  I’m so blessed, she thought as Asher came out of Sylvan’s office and sent her a burst of love through their new bond. This is exactly where I want to be—where I want to stay. And I finally found a man who loves and respects me like Cameron never did.

  This was going to be the best Christmas ever…and it was only one of many to come. And it had all happened+ because she couldn’t keep herself from…Falling for Kindred Claus.

  The End? Of course not—there are always more Kindred Tales coming!

  But the next thing to look out for is my Christmas Box Set, On the Naughty List, coming this December.

  Featuring two exclusive re-releases you can't get anywhere else and a sneak peek at my new series, Nocturne Academy, coming this January. On the Naughty List will leave you all hot and bothered this holiday season.

  In the meantime, if you have enjoyed Falling for Kindred Claus, please take a moment to leave a review. Good reviews are like gold for an author in this over-crowded e-book market. They let other readers know it's okay to take a chance on a new series and a new author. Plus, they give me the warm fuzzies!

  Thanks for being an awesome reader!

  Hugs, Evangeline : )

  And now turn the page for a little teaser from my new series, Nocturne Academy, coming January 2020.

  Nocturne Academy

  Coming January 2020

  Hi, I'm Megan Latimer and I'm sure I don't belong here...

  That's because "here" is Nocturne Academy—a weird private school in Frostproof, a town in rural Florida. I moved here with my aunt after my mom died and my dad decided solo parenting was hard work, and expected to finish my high school career in the dumpy local Frostproof High.

  Instead, my aunt—who has always kind of been the weird one in the family (she's into Wicca and doesn't care who knows it) presented me with an acceptance letter to Nocturne Academy. Which turned out to be a freaking castle surrounded by a moat—all hidden in the middle of an orange grove—(none of which shows up on Google Earth, by the way.)

  The minute I walked into my new school, I felt out of place—way out of place. That's because everyone here seems to have special abilities. There are the Nocturnes, of course, who are all pale and always sipping some red liquid that looks suspiciously like blood... the Faes, who are too beautiful to believed—they look like Instagram came to life and decided to take Fourth Period English for fun. Then there are the Drakes, who seem to have a darker half, hidden inside themselves—don't ask me what they're all about, but I've heard you don't want to make them angry.

  Last are the Sisters—witches, to be brutally honest. That's the group I'm supposed to belong to because apparently, I come from a long line of witchy royalty. The trouble is, there's nothing magic about me...

  Well, except for the necklace I'm wearing—the one with a black key that I found at the flea market—the one that won't come off no matter how hard I try.

  And then there's Griffin—the tall, bitingly sarcastic Nocturne boy who confronted me on my very first day. Who is he and why am I so drawn to him? Why does the strange black key around my neck tighten and throb whenever I am near him? And why does he have a lock around his own neck that seems to match it?

  This sneering, aloof boy withy the face of a fallen angel—he'll barely talk to me. Yet he faced down the bullies who wanted to grind me to dust and acted like it was nothing. Why can't I stay away from him, even though all my new friends warn that he's trouble?

  Am I courting my own doom in the halls of Nocturne Academy? I have no idea. In fact, I'm only aware of one thing: Griffin Darkheart can't seem to leave me alone and I am just as helpless to stay away from him.

  Even if it means my death.

  Give the gift of a hot Kindred warrior to a Friend!

  Do you love the Kindred? Do you want to talk about wishing you could go live on the Mother Ship without your friends thinking you're crazy? Well, now it's super easy to get them into the Kindred universe.
