Now her nipples budded against her ca for more She turned onto her front - which orse, so she flipped back over Glaring at the ceiling, she realized there was no fighting it

Her hand eased into her panties

Soe It was an uncanny feeling, as if the air were crackling with electricity Shouldn&039;t be surprising - lightning struck constantly in this bizarre place, like ongoing mini-explosions

So froo And between the lightning strikes, he heard Valkyrie shrieks, the drone of the TV, and jaunty video ga to his misery, Garreth could scent Lucia at every hour, could hear her voice, hear her whispers to the glowing freak:

"I sense he&039;s getting more powerful than ever before," Lucia had said this afternoon Who?

"Then I&039;in had replied Back-up to what?

"Everything depends on finding it If I have to go inside for this round, then I want to be able to get back out" Find what? Where the bluidy hell is she going?

"How much time do we have?"

"Maybe a year Before they come"

Before who - or what - came? What had Lucia meant?

It maddened him, and she wouldn&039;t return no matter how much he bellowed The ined, and all day and night, the ht the scent of her desire? He felt the current in the air, sensed it came from her

Realization hit No, it canna be She would no&039; be

Lucia&039;s eyes slid shut as her fingers dipped into her panties, seeking - and finding - wet flesh

With a sigh, she gave a stroke against her swollen clitoris, fantasizing about MacRieve&039;s body The already continual lightning built Another stroke as she envisioned his poor battered chest, packed with muscle She rubbed faster faster

His torso tapering to his narrow hips Shedown to his shaft -

"Lousha!" he bellowed

She shot up in bed, yanking her hand away He couldn&039;t know surely not

"Coods, what do I do now? Her sisters were already suspicious, inti that maybe the interest went both ways What to do? Her eyes darted around the rooain, she leapt fro from her room, she stole down to the basement

Once she entered, he quieted Like the trapped beast that he was, he eyed her every move

"What&039;s the e "Why do you keep roaring for me? I&039;m the one with no power to free you"

"You can unlock this"

"I won&039;t Save your breath"

Studying her expression for weakness, and apparently finding none, he changed tactics

"Then coold

"Why?"

"So I can finish for you what you started in your bed"

She felt her cheeks fla about?"

"Co as his eyes

"If you think to seduceyou is its own end, love"

She hesitated, glancing over her shoulder

"Reht in the bayou? How I htning She shivered at the ed you"

"Coain

"And do what?" Mind going blank Damn him, what hold did he have over her?

"Letstruck just outside "Through the bars?" That aspect actually appealed to her The bars were about six inches apart, so it&039;d be possible for theet out of hand

I could control the situation better than before

"Aye Just need to kiss you Touch you"

"No, I can&039;t," she whispered, even as she found herself easing closer to hi me - when you say I&039;m not your mate?"

"Because, Valkyrie, you&039;re the most desirable female I&039;ve ever known"

And you&039;re the h the bars She could satisfy her curiosity - deterht it

Her legs felt weak I could control it; we&039;d just bring each other pleasure When she reached forward to steady herself, putting her fists on the bars, he snatched her hand He sucked the tip of her finger - the one she&039;d ods, wo built to a furor, and she melted for him

Chapter 13

Garreth sucked, shuddering in bliss Licking her honey froer When he&039;d scented her desire earlier, every muscle in his body had clenched ant Lykae males yearned to pleasure their mates, and he was crazed to satisfy Lucia

The cage, her deceit, the unsettling news she&039;d delivered earlier - all became secondary to the need to make her come, as she obviously yearned to

Slowly, he withdrew her finger froht her face close to the bars for a kiss, slanting his lips over hers With each stroke of his tongue, she began to relax She grasped his shoulders, her wee claws digging into them

He broke the kiss to say, "If you start this, Lousha, you finish it"

Her eyes were half-lidded "What does thattobollocks, just as I did that last night"

She frowned, "Why didn&039;t you, you know?"

"I did," he rasped "Again and again with those sleek panties of yours wrapped around my shaft I could still taste you on my lips It maddenedsilvery

"Do you want to start this, then?"

She looked dazed "I we" With a hard shake of her head, she said, "We can&039;t have sex" Her eyes darted "Because of the bars"

"They&039;re half a foot apart - I should be able to squeeze my shaft between them"

"MacRieve, I&039;m serious!"

"The bars would no&039; stop me I could take you from behind, just spread you in front - "

"N-no sex"

Garreth narrowed his eyes Could she be virgin? At a thousand years old? Maybe that hy she&039;d stopped theht "Verra well, no sex," he lied Until I seduce you into it

"Then then what do you want from me?"

"I want to stroke you until you come and have you do the saain?"

"Nay, lass," he said absently, struck anew by how lovely she was Her long hair curled around her elven face, the tresses as shiny as the modest silk robe she wore Her whiskey-colored eyes were sultry, her cheeks flushed

But he wanted to see her body, naked to his gaze "Letfree the sash on her robe, then skimmed the material over her shoulders When it pooled at her feet, she was left in skimpy panties and a filmy camisole top Her nipples were hard, her lips parted and moist, so sensual

My mate&039;s incoh the bars to get to her

Evenplu paled for his lips around theht, he realized he could forgive much in the face of those exquisite breasts He&039;d best never let her know that

"Look at your nipples pouting to be sucked" He reached forward, pinching one to hold it in place as he lowered his head She seeht hisher with his breaths as his free hand skimmed down her flat stomach, but she tensed

"Uh, wait What about you?" Her hands went fro his body "You said we&039;d both touch each other"

Her words h his zipper When she brushed her fingers near his cock, he shot upright "Take it out for me, then"

As he shook with anticipation, Lucia dren his zipper Tentatively she reached into his pants for his shaft, gasping when it sprang forth He thought she whispered, "Oh my" She also seemed to be about to lose her nerve

"Ease h she nodded up at hi her hesitation, he took her hand, placing his cock in her war his shaft over it, he grated, "Make a fist"

She couldn&039;t close her fingers around it "I can&039;t," she lared at him when he had to bite back a chuckle

"Then just stroke it like that" With her first tentative glide up and down, his breath whistled out "You doona kno good that feels tae azed up at hi his reaction His little ratified hiood lass More" When she did it harder and faster, he groaned, "I&039;ve got tae touch you now Take off your panties"

She shook her head

He groith frustration "Wo tae be wedged so deep inside your body, you will no&039; knohere you end and I begin"

"They stay on"

"Then I&039;ll be going in" As he eased his fingers into her panties, he felt her body treain, twining his tongue with hers, as he dipped lower through soft curls

When he found slick flesh that wept at his touch, he groaned against her rated, "Gods, you feel so daood hot and wet for , she tensed So that&039;s the way of it? She was a virgin She began to draw back from the kiss

"Shhh, Lousha, I will no&039; do that again Only this" His forefinger covered her swollen little clitoris and slowly rubbed

With aas she stared up into his eyes

Building her pleasure, he lazily stroked her while thrusting into her fist His hip bones banged against the bars, but he didn&039;t care Once she was ready to receive hi he could do not to turn her around and take her He could force her back to hi her wrists behind her, then be inside her slick heat in a heartbeat&039;s tiain -

Yet it was so close A thousand years I&039;ve waited for this

Just as he&039;d taken her right to the edge, MacRieve slowed his touch to keep her in agony,"Do you ache here?"

Her toes curled - she realized she loved it when he talked to her like this, with his accent growing so thick In fact, she was learning much from this time with him

She&039;d been amazed to discover how such a sly But if that caress had affected hi made hirew moist, and he bucked his hips ht I&039;ll do the rest" At her ear, he grated, "Now do you feel we&039;re enemies, Lousha? When I&039;m about tae co she considered him at that moment was an enemy

"Has another male made you feel this?"

"No, no!"

"Then tell me I&039;ers and she whimpered in distress "Tellto brand her

Against his lips, she moaned, "You&039;re the only one"

In reward, he cupped her flesh coainst her clitoris As he worked it against the swollen bud, she went boneless, her eyes sliding shut In a harsh rasp, he commanded her, "Look at me when you cohtning, heat, tension building, building Then release

He covered herout her scream, as the pleasure went on and on

But when she could take no ers rubbed her clitoris so fast it was like he&039;d put a vibrator against her
