Pursuing Paige (7 page)

He took a long,
cylindrical object from a nearby drawer and held it up so she could
see it as he approached. “He’ll want to use things like this on
you, inside you.” He stroked between her thighs, sliding one broad
finger, and then adding a second, deep within. “And not always just
in your pretty little pussy.”

She moaned and squirmed
on the table as he thrust his fingers in and out of her. “Okay,”
she said breathlessly. “Fair warning.”

He withdrew his hand,
grasped her hips and pulled her toward him so her buttocks rested
just on the edge of the table and her heated, aroused sex was flush
up against the coarse material of his pants. He leaned over her and
put his lips just against hers. Pressing the chilled object against
her skin, he whispered, “He’ll put this in your ass to make you
ready to take us both. Have you considered that yet, sweet
Paige?”

Her breath shuddered
out of her. She was about to explode just from the thought. “Not
really.”

“I’ll have my cock in
your cunt.” He rubbed her until she moaned. “And he’ll be in your
ass. You will be completely possessed by both of us as we share
you.” Repositioning his hand, he slid the end of the smooth, wide
object into her and pushed it slowly and steadily deep within as he
spoke.

Paige’s eyes rolled
back in her head as he drew it out and thrust it back inside. The
object had ridges and bumps that stimulated every intimate inch of
her.

He backed away a bit
and stared down hungrily as it slid in and out of her. “Don’t
move,” he growled when she squirmed on the table. “Arms back and
hold them there. I want to watch.”

Pleasure spiralled
uncontrollably through her. She was just on the edge of an orgasm
and he held her there, with a climax just out of reach. If he so
much as brushed her clit, she would dissolve into convulsions of
pure sexual ecstasy.

Her fingers curled
around the back of the table and she held on as he worked the
object in and out of her faster and faster, rocking her body back
and forth. “Please, Jarek,” she begged.

“This what Kaiden will
do to you, Paige.” His voice sounded strained. “He will dominate
you and he will torture you with pleasure.” He placed his thumb on
her clit and rubbed it back and forth, while he fucked her with the
object even harder.

Paige’s body arched as
an incredible burst of pleasure exploded through her. It ruled her
body and stole her thought as it went on and on. Just at the tail
end of her climax, Jarek withdrew the object, put it aside, knelt,
and covered her pussy with his mouth.

She jerked as though a
current of electricity went through her as his lips massaged her
post-climax sensitive clit. He pushed through that sensitivity and
back into pleasure in no time. The sight of his head between her
thighs, mouth working over her most intimate area was enough to
thrust her straight into another orgasm. He groaned as she came
against his tongue and lips, seeming satisfied he’d been able to
make her climax again.

When he finally backed
away, she slid bonelessly to the floor in an intensely satisfied
heap. She throbbed sweetly between her thighs and her breathing
came fast and hard. “I’m supposed to handle to two of you? At
once?”

Jarek sank down on the
couch. “I’m not sure we can handle you, either. You’re so fucking
sexy when you’re aroused; I had to fight not come in my pants.”

She got on her hands
and knees and crawled slowly over to him, hips swinging
provocatively. “What was that thing? A sex toy?”

“You trusted me enough
not to ask before?”

She paused for a moment
and blinked. “Yes, I guess so.”

He smiled. “It was made
especially for you. We have more than one instrument like that.
They’re made to excite you and prepare you for us.”

“Nothing can prepare me
for you.” She reached him at the couch and crawled into his lap,
straddling his groin. His cock was rock hard and pressed through
the material of his pants. She pushed down, rubbing herself along
his length. “Let’s arrange that coming in your pants thing, shall
we?”

He groaned and tipped
his head back. “You’re going to kill me, Paige.”

She kissed him, nipping
at his lower lip. “Baby, I haven’t even gotten started. I am very
physical woman and today you opened a door I’d long since closed. I
want
more
.”

Paige kissed her way
down his throat, and then slid off his lap to kneel between his
legs and freed his gorgeous cock from his pants. She swirled her
tongue around the tip, making him shudder, and then pushed his
shaft into the hot, wet recesses of her mouth. He groaned her
name.

She spent the next few
minutes finding out where he liked to be stroked and licked, which
places made him craziest. She loved making him groan and whisper
her name.

Pushing her down onto
the carpet, he pushed her thighs apart and pushed his cock deep
inside her with one long, slow thrust. He stopped moving when he
was seated deep inside her and closed his eyes, as though searching
for control.

Then he began to
thrust.

He grabbed her hips and
pulled her back and forth on his cock while he fucked her, faster
and harder. Pleasure radiated through her as his thick, wide cock
acted like a piston, their heated skin slapping together with every
inward stroke.

She climaxed again, the
muscles of her cunt rippling and pulsing around his thrusting
shaft. He finally lost it. He groaned deep as his cock jumped
inside her. When it was over, he collapsed over her, gently rolling
her into his arms. They lay together on the rug, warmed by the
fire, wrapped in each other’s arms.

Kaiden followed Torrent
through the woods, headed in the direction of the commotion in the
distance. They’d been alerted by Kaitlyn of a disturbance nearby.
From the distinctive hawk cry she’d given, it appeared someone was
in trouble this time, perhaps a Lycaon. So he and Torrent ran
flat-out for the spot and hoped like hell it wasn’t some kind of
trap.

They’d been chasing off
Magica hunters from the edges of their territory for the last three
days and they were both covered in mud and leaves and were badly
lacking sleep. This was one of the worst Magica outbreaks that he
could remember.

The sound of a woman’s
high pitched scream rent the air and Kaiden pushed himself harder.
It seemed Kaitlyn was right, someone
was
in trouble. It
wasn’t a voice he or Torrent recognized, however, so they slowed
their pace as they approached and snuck up near the area where the
sounds were coming from.

A woman knelt in the
leaves with a ring of four Magica hunters surrounding her. Her head
was bowed, her long dark hair shadowing her face. “Please, I don’t
know where they are. I’m telling you the truth.”

One of the hunters
stepped forward and gripped the back of her hair, yanking her head
back and exposing her face. She didn’t look familiar. “You’re
lying. You’re an animal just like them.” He gave her a push forward
that sent her into the leaves. “Of course you know where the
villages are.”

She pushed to her hands
and feet and shook her head, sobbing. “I’ve been away too long. I
don’t know.
I don’t!
”

Another of the hunters
backhanded her and Kaiden’s body tensed. He wanted to rush into the
clearing right now, but he knew that wasn’t wise. His gaze met
Torrent’s and they communicated silently. Each of them took off in
opposite directions. They would check the perimeter and ensure
there were no more hunters lying in wait with bows, arrows, or
magickical staffs.

Raised voices from the
clearing accompanied them as they made a fast, but careful, sweep
and met on the other side. This didn’t appear to be a trap.

Another slap rang
through the air, followed by a female yelp of pain. Torrent and
Kaiden sprang into the clearing.

The woman screamed as
the dire wolves went for the jugulars of her captors. While Kaiden
had one man in the grip of his powerful mouth, another was raising
his staff toward him, ready to unleash a bolt of the energy they
used as a weapon.

He gave the Magica
hunter in his mouth one quick, hard shake and let him fall to the
ground. Then he whirled and launched toward the other. Too late. An
energy bolt hit him in the chest, knocking him back and sending a
jolt of white-hot pain through him. It should knocked him out but
his anger was too great. It overpowered everything. He shook off
the injury and lunged again. This time the hunter had no chance. It
was over in a flash.

Kaiden wavered on his
feet, scenting his own singed fur. Torrent stood on the opposite
end of the clearing, Magica blood adding to the mud already
smearing his fur. In a moment Torrent was in human form and walking
toward him. The woman was kneeling in the clearing, looking between
them with a confused expression on her face.

Torrent knelt at
Kaiden’s side. “You’re injured.” He examined the wound, then looked
into his eyes. “You’ll live.”

That meant he could
shift. Kaiden concentrated on making the transition, bracing
himself for the pain, which would be greater in human form. It
brought him to his knees with a groan.

The woman was there
immediately, putting a hand on his shoulder. “Are you all
right?”

He looked down and saw
the burn mark on his chest. “I’ll be fine,” he ground out. Even now
the pain was easing.

“Thank you so much for
what you both did. You saved my life.” The woman had an angry
bruise on one cheek, but otherwise seemed unhurt.

High above them a hawk
screamed. Torrent looked up and waved an arm.
All clear
. The
hawk screamed again and winged off into the distance. He looked at
the woman. “Who are you? What are you doing way out here...
with
them?
”

Kaiden sat down in the
grass to better manage the pain of his wound and studied her. She
was a young woman, dressed in the clothing of a lower class Mage
citizen. The woman sighed and pushed a hand through her tangled
hair. “My name is Alisa. I’ve lived among the Magica since I was a
small child.”

“Raised by Magica?
How?”

“I believe I came with
my Lycaon parents. They were spies, I think. They were killed in an
accident when I was a baby. I was left to be raised by adoptive
Magica parents.”

“They must have
discovered what you were eventually,” Kaiden said.

“They did, but they
loved me anyway and hid me. I grew up as a mage. Then one day, I
was discovered by an official as I shifted in the woods.” Lycaon
couldn’t go more than a month without shifting or the pressure to
change grew unbearable. “I was turned in as a spy.”

“Except you weren’t
one.”

She bowed her head.
“I’ve failed everyone.”

“So,” added Torrent,
“they brought you here in an effort to locate our strongholds.”

She nodded. “There was
no danger of that. I don’t know the way.”

Torrent laid a hand on
her shoulder. “You’re safe now and back with family.”

She launched herself
into his arms and began to sob.

Torrent smoothed her
hair and spoke over her head as she cried. “It’s time for you to
return home, Kaiden. Go back and heal that wound. Take this woman
with you. Give her food and shelter. When I return, I’ll find a
place for her.” He turned to Alisa. “Maybe I can find your family.
You must have some left.”

Alisa glanced at
Kaiden’s wound. “It must be a long way. How can he make it
back?”

Torrent grinned at her.
“You are now in the care of one of the toughest dire wolves on four
paws. Kaiden will make it.”

Paige glimpsed the dire
wolf through the window of the kitchen as she was helping Jarek
make breakfast. She set down the couple of eggs she was holding and
ran out of the house and across the yard toward him. Joy bubbled
out of her at the sight of him, alive and well.

As she approached, she
noticed the woman on his back and the singe marks in his beautiful
coat. Maybe he wasn’t as whole and healthy as she’d first
assumed.

He came to a stop in
front of her and pushed his head into her hand, closing his eyes,
while the woman slid from his back. “I’m so happy you’re back,” she
whispered, putting her head near his and nuzzling his soft fur.

While Kaiden shifted to
man form, she greeted the woman, who was injured and battered. She
was around her same age, had long, dark hair, and looked exhausted.
An angry purple bruise marked almost the entire side of her face.
She reached out both hands to the woman. “I’m Paige.”

The woman took her
hands and smiled. “My name’s Alisa. Kaiden and Torrent saved me
from being killed earlier today. I’m very much in their debt.”

Paige squeezed her
hands. It was clear the woman had endured a lot. “You look like you
could use a bath, a meal, and good, long rest.”

She sighed as though
the thought gave her immense pleasure. “I could, thanks.”

Just then Jarek came up
between them. “Kaiden let me know you were coming, Alisa.” The
Lycaon could communicate telepathically. “Come on, let me take you
inside.”

After Kaiden had taken
the woman to the house, Paige knelt beside Kaiden who was lying in
the grass. He had a scorch mark on the skin of his chest. “What
happened?”

“Magica hunters.” He
touched it and winced. “It’s not as bad as it looks.”

“It looks awful.”

“It will heal.” He
pulled her against him, just left of his wound. “It was worse being
away from you.”

She stiffened for a
moment, then relaxed. His body was hard and very, very naked
beneath hers. “I missed you too,” she whispered, putting her mouth
near his.
