“I know,” I said in a high-pitched voice before blowing out a deep breath and trying again in a forced calm. “I know. If it helps, regardless of all of that, making love to you last night, being here with you, even if in a strange room... I got a few good hours of deep sleep. I’m just a little shell-shocked still with what’s happened, and what is to come.”
“It’s understandable. It really is. And as easy as it is for me to say, and as hard as I know what I’m requesting is, try your best to put the past out of your mind, and concentrate on the amazing future you are going to have. Remember, I will be by your side every step of the way. If you take anything from the past few days, or even weeks, the attacks, man and wolf now, remember that I will protect you no matter what. You are safe now, and we are together. Besides, you have that magic of yours. You need to take some comfort in your newfound abilities. While we don’t know what the possibilities of your new, albeit supposedly dormant, abilities are yet, we’ve seen what fear can make you do. Those bluish-white streaks of light that come from your palms certainly push bad people, or werewolves, away from you. That has to mean something in the way of reassurance.”
“Yes, there is that,” I said with a slight giggle of excitement building inside of me.
The magic, the energy of it, already stirred within me, just thinking about it. I swore, having never felt anything like it before in all of my years; it was like someone had pulled a plug inside me or opened a locked box, and now, it just could no longer be contained. I had powers, abilities I didn’t really understand—well no one did at this point, but still—and they stirred inside me, made me feel like a ball of energy, like I would tremble right out of my skin if I didn’t move, release them.
Pulling my hands up out of the sleeping bag, placing them up above the hem, in front of my face, between us, I looked at my palms as if they were foreign, or at least contained some new, strange malady. The newly familiar heat grew on my skin, as a small aura of light formed just above my hands. I didn’t think I would ever tire of feeling the tingly, warm sensation, or ever get bored with looking at the beauty of the light my body created. While no one knew what the magic of the Royals would or could become in me, the years of mating with humans diluting the bloodline, still, it was there, right here, proof literally in my palms, bright and glittery, powerful and pulsing. The energy and excitement of it grew in my lower stomach and demanded an outlet.
“What am I to do on a normal basis to get rid of all of this energy inside of me?” I asked Lex.
“Well, if you can manage not to shoot me across the room, I have some ideas about an outlet for energy,” he spoke with a gruff attempt at a laugh, I guessed, though his voice had grown more gravelly with each word.
There was no mistaking his intentions, though, as he gently grabbed my wrists, and moved my hands back down into the bag that contained them. Once he got my hands out of the way, placing them, one on his chest, the other on his side, his lips pressed against mine with an intensity of love I’d never in my wildest dreams imagined existed until meeting my werewolf, meant to be my protector, created for it actually, but who also in some twist of fate, had ended up being my soul mate, as well. His big hands grabbed my hips, pulled me even tighter against him as he adjusted me, worked his growing erection closer as I opened my legs around him, and let his length nestle between my thighs.
“The dream we had last night, the one the Royals granted us, a glimpse into our future together on their island,” he began, grunting out a few words at a time against my lips, in between kisses, “well, that could take some time to get to. I don’t know...with travel time and introductions once we get to the island, and even after that in the days to follow there, with magic lessons and debriefing and all of that, when I will get to hold you, naked like this, again. So right now, we need to make the most of this moment we have alone.”
“I’m all for making the most of this moment, and that hard cock of yours, but do you really think that I will someday run, as a wolf myself, beside you in the woods, like I did in the dream we shared?” I asked, my voice deeper, huskier, making vocal my own desires to have him inside of me.
“Once you meet the Royals, you will know that just about anything is possible,” he mumbled, his lips vibrating against mine until he moved his hands up, with some effort, making a line of fire along my skin, on each inch where they touched, until reaching my face.
