Wintertide Read online

  I didn’t miss the way Blade glared at him though and Calex looked at him with a perplexed look on his face. I was sure they all knew what happened, especially my shifter who would have smelled it as soon as he walked in.

  Calex came and gave me a kiss, “I’m going to get started on this now with Sebastian. The quicker we can find a way to end the supply, the quicker it's not a danger to you or anyone else. Blade will take you down to dinner. I’ll be down soon, and we will talk later.” I gulped not knowing if being alone with Blade was a good thing, or a bad thing. Sometimes he was incredibly hard to read, especially at a time like this when he was irritated at a situation that had nothing to do with us.

  I said my goodbyes to them and followed Blade out, waiting for the anger that was sure to come. We entered the hallway, away from the ears of the others and I stopped and spun to face him, “I know you want to say something. Out with it.”

  He grunted and pushed me against the wall, “You stink like Jaxon.” His nose tickled as he smelled my neck and moved down my body. I sucked in a breath as he pulled my legs apart and stuck his face between my legs, inhaling deeply. “I can smell your arousal, but not his.”

  “I didn’t fuck him, Blade. We just kissed. Not that it would be your business if I had,” I protested, my chin high as I refused to let my feelings for Jaxon be shamed. “My feelings for him may not be as strong as they are for you, Calex, or Sebastian, but they are still there.” The last part came out as a whimper as his nose rubbed against my clit.

  “Smells like you need something more satisfying than a kiss, kitten,” his rumbling purr caused wetness to pool between my legs.

  “Maybe,” I said breathily. “Or maybe I can just take care of myself later,” I teased. He knew I wanted him, even needed him, but I was going to make him work for it after his little asshole display back there.

  “I bet I can change your mind about that,” he grinned cockily as he stood and pulled my hands over my head, pinning them against the wall.

  I felt the need to challenge my sexy alpha, “Try me.”

  My small challenge was all he needed as he released my hands and his mouth descended roughly on mine, a small mewl of surprise urging him on even further. His tongue dipped out and ran across my lips, demanding I let go and give it all to him.

  Urgently, I returned his kiss, my mouth pressed hard against his as I gripped either side of his open shirt. My breath came out ragged and I knew he could scent my arousal building higher as he pressed against me, my back arched against the wall as I ground my hips against his throbbing cock.

  With a low growl as he tangled my hands in my hair and pulled my head back eliciting a small whimper from me as he exposed my neck and ran kisses down my throat. He nipped at the sensitive curve of my neck and sent chills racing across my skin as I let out a low moan that reverberated through me and had Blade’s cock hardening even more, its long length pressing into me, teasing and tempting me.

  His hand ran over my stomach and down to the hem of my issued uniform. He groaned and gave me a new appreciation for the plaid uniform that I knew he found sexy. The rough calluses of his palm brushed against the skin of my thigh and I let out a small shudder. He slid his hands beneath my panties and found my hot and waiting core, my sounds of pleasure increasing as he teased my slick folds.

  He kissed me again hard and nipped at my bottom lip as he slid a finger into me. Suddenly, he pulled back and looked at me, his amber eyes glowing, letting me know that his beast was near the surface and I craved for him to let it out.

  “My cat wants to throw you down and claim you,” he growled. “You have no clue how hard it is to hold him back,” his voice came out thick with desire as he thrust his fingers into me with each word making my need increase to almost painful levels.

  “Do it,” I challenged him, needing to feel everything he had to give, wanting his animal to fuck me as wildly as I imagined he would.

  Again he tugged back on my hair and thrusted his finger into me harder and faster. He added a second finger and I let out a gasp as my pussy trembled around his fingers, “Not yet, kitten,” he demanded and I whimpered, desperate to hold back my release as he demanded. I didn’t care that we were in the middle of a hallway where anyone could happen upon us. All I knew was my need for release was driving me mad.

  “I want you to beg me,” he commanded. “Beg for my dick to fill you, kitten.”

  He drove his fingers deeper, playing with my clit as he thrust them in and out and pushed me closer to the edge without letting me go over. “Please,” I begged, my body quivering around him as my knees started to buckle and my nails dug into his shoulders for support. “Please, Blade,” I breathed out again as I felt my pussy tighten around him. He pulled his fingers out, still denying me as he let go of my hair and watched me hotly as he slowly licked them.

  My breath hitched as he held them to my lips. I parted them for him and he slid one in. I gently sucked on it, my tongue wrapping around his finger as he drew it out. “I can imagine how hot you would be with your tongue wrapped around my dick, like you did with Calex.”

  I almost came right there, his words turned me on more than I had ever experienced. “Please, don’t stop,” I begged, my tone hushed but full of desire. Heat pulsed to my core and I knew there was no turning back from this.

  He lifted me up and my legs wrapped around his waist as he carried me to the nearest door. Neither one of us gave two fucks where we went. I simply knew I needed him to bury his cock inside of me. I bit his ear and kissed just below it and I felt him stumble, knowing his need was as great as mine as he kicked the door shut.

  We had entered one of the classrooms and he deposited me on one of the desks. “My animal is not going to be gentle. Are you sure?” he asked me even though I knew his ability to stop was as low as mine.

  Instead of answering, my hand shot out and gripped his cock. I gripped him hard and stroked him with vigor through his pants. I watched as he lost control and his beast rose to the surface once again. He tried to gain control, to push his beast back down but I could see it was a losing battle.

  “I don’t want easy, Blade. I want you.” I ran my hand down his zipper and flicked open the button that had held him in. His dick sprang free and my eyes lingered on it as I stroked the long, hard length. It was almost as sexy as when I watched him stroke himself. I couldn’t control my need any longer, “I need to feel you inside of me. Please, fuck me,” I begged as he wanted.

  “Not like this,” he growled as he lifted me from the desk and sat on one of the benches against the wall. I stood between his legs, and he reached between us, finding my center again and gently pressing into me with his thumb, sending me quivering all over again. I leaned over and kissed him, drawing his lip between my teeth and scraping across his flesh as I stroked his dick harder.

  His slick precum slid over my hand as I ran it back down his length and ached for him to be buried inside me. He gripped the edge of my panties and ripped them from my waist, the torn fabric falling to the floor between us.

  He lifted me over his straining cock and lowered me down until just the tip pressed against my hot center. I trembled in anticipation as I slowly eased my way on him. I was wet and more than ready, but holy fuck he was so big and hard. He gripped my hips hard as I eased myself down slowly and made myself be patient as I lowered down on him inch by agonizing inch.

  My pussy clenched around him while I adjusted to his size, a hurt that felt so fucking good and drove me fucking crazy at the same time. I gripped his shoulders again, my nails digging in to the point of almost piercing his flesh as I let out a small gasp when at last he was fully sheathed inside me. I felt his cock tremble as my thighs met his and I waited to fully adjust to the new feeling.

  Before I knew it my need for friction caused me to rock my hips against him, grinding my clit against his rock hard dick. He gripped my hips and held me still for a moment, this time, him being the one that needed a moment. “You ready to fuck
me with that sweet pussy of yours, kitten?” he ground out after he seemed to have gathered himself.

  My body responded immediately and I lifted my hips in response as he held me steady and guided me back down on him. Slow and more sure of myself now, I let out a long moan as the pleasure began to build in me. My pussy clenched around him, already very close to my climax. “You won’t finish until I say so. Got it?” he demanded as I found my rhythm and dropped down on him faster and more demanding.

  “Not yet, kitten,” he ground out as he leaned forward and bit down on my shoulder, the feeling of it so good that it had me seeing stars.

  I arched over him and moaned into his neck, biting down as he did and I felt the burning need to mark him as he marked me. His hands reached around and gripped my ass firmly as I rode him harder and faster, each thrust making my pleasure grow as I slammed down on him again and again, determined to ride him to our climax.

  “Come for me, kitten,” his hips rose to meet me as I came down, instantly my body quivered and my pussy clenched around his cock as his demand pushed me over the edge. I pulsed and throbbed as he pulled out and slammed me down on him again and again, making me ride out my climax.

  He lifted me up and down a few more times, my never-ending orgasm wracking through me until he roared as he filled me and I shuddered above him, my pussy tight and taking everything he gave me.

  At last, I slowed and rested my head against his shoulder, my breath coming out as uneven and ragged as his own. After a few minutes. I lifted my head, and looked at him. “Holy shit, I have been missing out,” I grinned.

  He gave me a quick kiss before I eased myself from his magical cock, even that feeling sent more waves of pleasure coursing through me. I bent down and picked up my torn panties from the floor before I gave him a stern look. “Now what do I wear?”

  He reached forward and snatched them from me before he tucked them in his pocket. “Exactly what you have on.”

  “Blade!” I exclaimed horrified at the thought of walking around this place with my lady bits free and the rogues that had already almost gotten to me for smelling of sex.

  He casually buttoned his pants and looked at me, “Yes?”

  “Wasn’t it you that said I needed to be careful walking around smelling like sex?” I asked, trying to be indigent but failing with the bliss that I felt.

  “Yup, but now that you smell of me, no one will dare fuck with you,” he said confidently. “Before you smelled of just arousal, now you smell of my scent mixed with yours and anyone would be stupid to mess with that.”

  I couldn’t help but smile as he let out a contented purr and put his arm around my shoulder. “You’re such a good pussy cat, looking out for me,” I teased as I scratched behind his ear. He didn’t growl at me, which I think meant he was too satisfied to be angry, as was I.

  Chapter Twenty-Five

  We made our way to dinner and while he didn't hold my hand, he stayed close enough so his skin brushed against mine. The friction was a constant reminder of our time together and even though I had taken the time to wash myself off quickly, my thighs were already growing damp.

  He looked at me with a smirk as we entered the cafeteria and had the audacity to pat his pocket. The fucker had let me take the time to wash off, but refused to let me replace my underwear.

  I narrowed my eyes in his direction, but his grin only grew. Dickhead alpha. I shook my head and headed for the line to report in. It moved quickly and I gave Henry my number before moving on to get my food. I had the uneasy feeling of someone watching me and as I turned back around I spotted my sister sitting on top of one of the tables, Carmen on the bench next to her with her hand on her leg. Figured those two would gravitate toward each other.

  I pointedly ignored them as I made my way to our table and took my seat. Una had already taken her seat at the table, lost in conversation with Jet. Blade joined us and Una looked up with a coy grin. “Oh so the pussy got wet, huh?” she cackled at her own joke.

  “Shut up Una,” I laughed and tossed the cardboard biscuit at her, making her cackle even harder as she avoided my ammo.

  Calex slid into the seat next to me, closing me in between him and Blade as he gave me a kiss on the cheek. “Hey, Ice,” I blushed a little, knowing I had just had sex with his best friend, but reminded myself he had no problem with it.

  “Hey,” I cleared my throat at the image that crossed my mind of being stuck between the two of them at more than this table. “So, uh, how did it go.”

  He chuckled, I was certain as he felt where my emotions had just drifted to. “Have her all riled up do you Blade?” he laughed again as he ran his hand suggestively down my thigh.

  “Something like that,” he laughed, knowing my predicament. The fact that I had no barrier beneath my skirt to stop Calex if his hand trailed up higher made me even hotter.

  I swallowed hard, “Moving on,” I suggested. “So?”

  “Things are in the works. I don’t know anything more than that right now,” Calex told me as I ate a few bites. I heard my sister's sick laugh from across the room and it made my stomach churn. Suddenly, I wasn’t hungry any longer as I glanced over and her eyes met mine as she stroked her hand down Carmen’s hair.

  “I think I’m done,” I stood to carry my tray to the window and both Blade and Calex stood with me. “I don’t need an escort guys,” I insisted. “It will only make them talk more.”

  “But you will be safe,” Calex replied.

  “Guys, chill your shit. She will be right across the room. Both of you move faster than anything that could happen in that distance. Give her some room,” Una said looking at them sternly.

  “I’ll be fine guys, really,” I repeated. Slowly they took their seats and I crossed the room to dispose of my trash.

  After I returned the tray I headed back for the guys, stopping short when one of the guards stood in my path. “Excuse me,” I tried as I moved to go around him but he simply side stepped and blocked my way again.

  I looked at him curiously, briefly registering that his eyes were dilated and he looked high as fuck.

  “Look out,” Jaxon yelled from across the room making me glance in his direction just as the guard lifted his hand and blew in my face.

  Suddenly an icy cold wind blew in front of me, the chill of it leaving icicles on the eyelashes of the guard as it blew past, though I was left unaffected as the cold never bothered me. The guard looked in Jaxon’s direction, panicked for a moment before lifting his palm to his face and inhaling deeply.

  I watched with wide eyes as my guys rushed to my side and the guard turned a deep shade of purple before collapsing onto the ground, his body shaking and foam coming from his mouth.

  “What the fuck?” Calex demanded as he stared at the guard, just as bewildered as I was.

  Blade leaned over toward him and let out a huff, “Pixie Dust,” he growled out.

  “Why the fuck was he trying to blow it in your face?” Calex mused out loud as Jaxon joined us.

  I turned to face him, the fear and relief clear on his face. “You saved me,” I breathed out, making him blush.

  “Think nothing of it,” he said with that nonchalant shrug of his.

  Instead of shrugging it off as he did, I leaned forward brazenly giving him a soft kiss on the lips in front of everyone. “Thank you.” I told him as I gently pulled back.

  “Well isn’t this just perfect,” Alayna said shrewdly crossing to us, the gathering crowd parting for her without a word.

  We turned as one and watched her come up to us, Carmen right on her heels looking pissed off as usual. I supposed me kissing Jaxon might have something to do with it.

  “What do you know of this?” Calex spit out.

  “I just got here, what would I know of a guard trying to drug my sister?” she replied innocently. “Surely, the son of the devil would be better informed than me?”

  Carmen leaned forward and whispered something into her ear while they looked at me shrewdly
. My sister's eyes lit up gleefully and I knew whatever she told her wasn’t good. Alayna straightened and looked at me for a moment, the smile spreading across her face.

  “Isn’t this just perfect?” She sneered as her gaze wandered between my guys and myself. A ball of fear began to grow in the pit of my stomach. I had a sinking feeling where this was going. “My, how the times have changed, sister,” she stated.

  “It’s none of your business, Alayna,” I spit out.

  “Maybe, maybe not. But don’t you think it’s theirs?” she asked, gleefully pointing to the guys at my side.

  Jaxon stepped up next to me and murmured, “Don’t let her get to you. They already know, she can’t do anything to you.”

  I glanced at him, curious why there seemed to be fear laced in his voice, while he was telling me the exact opposite. His gaze darted to the far side of the cafeteria and for a moment I thought I imagined it, but he muttered under his breath again, “It’s much more dangerous if you lose control, trust me.” I followed his line of sight and spotted a man standing on the next level up, his grip white knuckled on the railing. He looked strikingly similar to Jaxon and watched our interaction with interest. I wondered briefly who it could be, but didn’t have time as my sister began her rant again.

  “If you won’t tell them, I will.” She sauntered over and traced a finger down Calex’s chest, over the tip of his wing. Instead of trembling like when I touched him, he pulled away.

  “Don’t touch me sorceress,” Calex ground out.

  “Will you still feel the same way when you know the truth? Funny thing isn’t it? The Prince of Darkness himself, and he can’t even spot betrayal when it’s right beneath his own nose.” She sashayed over to Blade and reached up for his chest as she had done with Calex. He snarled though and his pupils took on the shape of his beast, small dark slits in the middle of his golden orbs. She laughed and pulled her hand back, “Have it your way, but Scar won’t be able to protect you this time. I would be defensive too, cat. Knowing what I did to my best friend.”
