Power In Her Kiss Read online

  She sighs dramatically. “I never said to turn down a pack of hot men who are as wild and free as you are. Who you can explore with and experience the world with. And I sure as hell never told you to run from love. It’s such a rare thing for our kind, that if we feel it, we need to embrace it.”

  “And you never thought to tell me all this?” I shout.

  She shrugs. “How was I supposed to know you were the luckiest Elementalist in the world?”

  I suddenly feel panicked. “But what do I do now?”

  She shakes her head. “Honestly, I don’t know how I went wrong with you. Go get those Shifters!”

  I rise from the tub and run to the window.

  “Get dressed first!” she yells.

  Whirling around, I shoot her a glare.

  First I’m getting dressed. Then, I’m getting my Shifters.

  I’ve searched the woods that I first met Gregory and his pack. But they are nowhere to be found. I’ve journeyed over the mountain and discovered not a trace of them. On the other side of the mountain, where they pointed out their home, I see no trace of them.

  No wolves hunt the woods. No den stands out from the rest of the tangled forest.

  I’ve lost them forever.

  When I reach a town that stands below a beautiful and elegant white castle, I hover over a tree and weep. My mist spreads out, cloaking the town and the castle. My sadness is a living thing, heavy and unbreakable.

  I can’t believe I let them go. I can’t believe I may never see them again.

  It’s nearly an hour before I gain some control over myself. My heart is broken. But I can’t remain here crying forever.

  “Lica?”

  My gaze snaps to the woods. Beneath me, Gregory and his pack are staring. All wear fine clothes, and all look utterly confused.

  I sink down closer to them, hovering just a few inches above the ground. For some reason, I’m suddenly afraid to speak my thoughts. What if they reject me after I abandoned them?

  “I—I.”

  None of them speak. They just watch me.

  Be brave. “I was a fool to leave. I know that now. But you were all right, I can’t simply forget about you. And the idea of sharing a den with you… it’s what I wish.”

  Again they don’t speak.

  “What?” I say, and again I sound angry instead of sad. “You don’t want me now?”

  Gregory reaches out and touches my arm, slowly pulling me closer. “Are you certain you wish to remain with us?”

  “I don’t want to be trapped here,” I say, slowly. “I want to have my freedom still. But I want this to be my home… I want my home to be with you.”

  Gregory’s brows draw low over his inhumanely beautiful face. “But you won’t simply leave us again?”

  “Never,” I whisper.

  He smiles. “Then, my queen, why don’t we return to my castle? I think we need to make up for lost time…by making love to you over and over again.”

  They forgive me! I laugh and hug him tightly for a long minute. And then, his words hit me.

  Stiffening, I pull back away. “Did you say your castle?”

  He points at the stunning palace that stands above the town. “My castle.”

  My eyes widen. “Wait, you’re actually a king?”

  He laughs. “That’s right.” Then he grins. “Which makes you our queen.”

  “But… you’re wolves. I thought… I thought you lived in a den in the woods.”

  They all laugh.

  “Silly Elementalist,” Sebastian says, his tone kind.

  As they lead me back to the castle, I can’t help but feel shocked. These wolfish Shifters can’t actually be royalty, can they?

  I didn’t really believe them until we entered the castle. Servants nod at us as we move through the halls, and no one blinks an eye as they take me into a massive bedroom.

  But at the bed, my shock turns to arousal as Gregory rips off my dress, shredding it in two with his bare hands. Suddenly, I’m standing in the middle of them, naked and feeling completely exposed.

  “Have you ever had five men at once?” Gregory asks, grinning.

  I feel a spark of defiance. “They weren’t quite as big as you all are.”

  He growls in the back of his throat, and I’m tossed on the bed. “I know exactly how to handle a saucy Elementalist!”

  Their clothes come off in a hurry, and then they’re everywhere. Eager hands cupping my breasts. Rolling my nipples. Fingertips stroking the folds of my womanhood.

  My head spins as pleasure rolls over my body. God, this is amazing!

  Sebastian kisses me. Two mouths find my breasts. And I feel… lucky as hell.

  As the night unfolds, I suck more cocks than I ever imagined. The Shifters enter every part of my body, bringing me orgasm after orgasm. And the sense of being desired, worshipped, and loved makes me feel ridiculously alive.

  When I finally close my eyes, surrounded by naked Shifters, I decide that the rest of the Mist Elementalists are idiots. I’d take this over my freedom any day.
