(Anthology) Forever Read online

I whimpered as I felt my body instantly respond to his caresses. Before I could even think or breathe, a white-hot passion filled my body, making me moan into his hot mouth and arch my back, dying to get closer to his naked flesh.

  “Oh God!” I gasped pulling away. “What are we doing?”

  Glow was down there, somewhere, risking his life, and all I could think about was burying my face in his crotch and inhaling his male musk.

  “Sinopee,” he breathed as his hand began pulling the dress up my legs, baring my skin to the shock of his callused flesh.

  Then my thoughts were lost again as I felt his fingers tease at my thighs. Maybe we shouldn’t, became, please and yes!

  Up my inner thigh his hard fingers trailed, pressing hard enough as not to cause a tickle, but just light enough to tease.

  His tongue was playing a new game too, licking at my lips, daring mine to tangle with his, as he tasted my face.

  “I am going to eat you out,” he whispered as his mouth moved up my neck, to blow a puff of warm air in my ear. “I am going to eat you and suck all the juices from your body. Are you wet for me, baby?”

  I nodded, my voice escaping me as my body writhed against his strength.

  “Not an answer, baby.” His fingers moved a bit higher as his tongue made a foray down my neck and into the exposed cleavage the gown allowed to show.

  But it was not enough. It was never enough. The gown, my sturdy yet feminine dress, the most ladylike thing I had ever owned, had to go.

  Ignoring his chuckles, I pulled the gown higher than he had.

  I felt no shame! There in the waning darkness of the previous night, I pulled my gown up, exposing my breasts to the chill air, my nipples tightening in reaction.

  “Pretty, baby,” he purred as his other hand left off teasing my thighs to caress the whole of my breast.

  I gasped at the contrast between my cooling skin and his hot hands. I closed my eyes; my head rolling back and forth as his fingers gently tugged at a nipple.

  “Harder,” I managed. “More!” But then his fingers made a jump from the warm skin of my breast to the damp curls that protected my portal.

  “Here?” he asked, his breath hot against my neck as he bit at my shoulder.

  “Uh huh,”

  The suddenly his head was between my legs.

  “Fuck romance. I want raw passion.”

  I bit my lip to prevent a scream as his tongue delved between my lower lips and lapped at my clit.

  “Fuck yeah,” he breathed as I arched up against his mouth, my moans becoming louder.

  I felt his fingers part me and expose my throbbing nubbin. His hot breath rushed over me a second before his mouth descended. He took me into his hot mouth and began to gently suckle me.

  “Luster! Don’t stop!”

  I whimpered and wiggled as I tired to get closer to his explosive touch. Then he added another element to my arousal.

  I felt my juices slip between us as his fingers toyed at the portal to my cunt. I whimpered, thinking about how good those hard fingers would feel thrust...

  “Yeah!” I gasped as I felt him ease two fingers inside, deep.

  His fingers gave me the penetration that my body desired, and they began to thrust in and out slowly, fulfilling my need to be taken.

  His wiggled his fingers as he suckled me a bit harder, making me whine like a bitch in heat, searching out that spot deep within that would explode my universe.

  Then his fingers found that spot that sent electric waves coursing through my body and flashing lights behind my closed eyes.

  When I jumped, he began to hum, sending vibrations into the heart of me while his fingers moved faster and faster, grazing that spot, massaging it until my nerves were ready to snap.

  My body locked up, my muscles tensed, and suddenly, I was airborne, flung high into the sky by the convulsion now taking place within. His hands and his mouth worked together, masturbating me to the highest climax I had ever reached. I never wanted it to end!

  My inner muscles grabbed at his fingers, squeezed them as liquid heat ran through my veins!

  My heart pounded in my chest, my breath heaved and my whole body trembled in the face of such an awesome release.

  “Luster,” I managed after a moment as I winced at his caresses. “Too sensitive,” I gasped as slowly he withdrew from me, his fingers cupping my wet womanhood as if staking his claim.

  Chapter Seven

  I shuddered as I dropped down from my climax, wondering if I would ever fly that high again.

  I turned to look at Lust, his head resting on my thigh, his tongue lazily bathing my flesh clean from the juices that still dripped, showing him my willingness to do it again, and thought, why not?

  I reached for the thong that held his pants up.

  I wanted more than a good...okay, a great lick from my man. Time was short and like he said, life was unsure. So I was going to take advantage while I could.

  My fingers tore at the tiny strip of leather that was determined to keep me from the hot flesh that I needed.

  I could picture his cock, thick and throbbing with his every heartbeat, its widened head oozing his sweet pre-cum. I wanted his essence to mix with mine. I wanted to feel that steel hard shaft sinking into my depths, forging new territory within my body.

  Grunting with my urgency, I tore the belt pouch away from the thong holding up his pants and began whipping it from him.

  “Eager?” he joked, though his face looked pained. The tightness of his leather pants was starting to get to him. My baby needed release, a quick release.

  Denying to answer, I moaned in impatience as I began to work the hot tight leather down his body.

  But then I heard it.

  It was Glow.

  “If you want to get out of here, I suggest you put the festivities on hold.”

  “Glow!” I nearly screamed as I pulled away from Luster and turned towards that naked man, my eyes first assessing his dirt streaked body, before returning to his face. “You are alive!”

  “Like you would have noticed if I died,” he snickered and my hands immediately went to my gown, pulling it down to cover all of my damp swollen exposed parts.

  “Are they...”

  “Report,” Luster interrupted, earning a glare from me, which he responded to with a sheepish grin.

  “I caused enough confusion so that if we are very careful, we can get out of here right now, if we hurry.”

  I was all for leaving. I may have some fond memories of this huge rock, but I was ready to go.

  “How much time?” Luster asked as he retied his thong and loosely attached the pouch containing the letterbox.

  “About two minutes.”

  As he spoke, Glow tugged on his black pants, adjusting them to hold his obvious arousal, but not bothering with his shirt.

  “What did you do?” I hissed as I straightened my clothes and crouched low, as both men were doing.

  “I caused chaos and confusion. They are shooting at shadows, but they won’t be for long. Let’s move.”

  Following his lead, Luster and I carefully ran down a trail marked by Glow, a trail that apparently only he could see.

  “Where is Glimmer?” I hissed as I discovered that my physical fitness could not be maintained screwing around with Luster once a year! I needed more exercise.

  I was out of breath as we zigzagged through a maze of boulders and scrub bushes. But I refused to slow the men down. We needed to get to safety and I refused to be the reason we met with disaster if we did run into Tritons.

  “Ahead,” Glow whispered back as he dropped to the ground and slithered across the rough gravel of the exposed mountainside. “She got cut off, but I made some room for her to move and prepare the way.”

  I blinked at his actions, as he seemed to grow feet and protective gear under his bare stomach.

  “I am not...”

  “Down!” Luster hissed as he grabbed my arm and almost ripped it off my body in an effort to get me
low.

  Obediently, I dropped. I decided to leave this to the professionals. But if a problem involving three-dimensional calculus ever came up, I was your girl.

  As Luster hit the ground beside me, two things happened. There was a hiss and the air around us tingled a moment before a boom sounded where the boulder previously was. And under that, there was the faintest sound of wood cracking against stone. It almost sounded like a bone breaking, but the sound was sharper.

  The box! The box had fallen out of Luster’s pouch.

  “Luster...” I began, but again he cut me off.

  “Now is not the time, Sinopee!”

  “But...”

  “No! Tell me later! We need to try and save our lives and not worry about petty shit!”

  “Petty!” I almost rose to my knees to tear a strip off of him, but the explosion to the right of me halted my movements.

  Taking a cue from Glow, who was now rolling down the remainder of the hill, regardless of the sharp stones and stinging branches, I sucked in a deep breath and rolled.

  I could come back for the letters later. If we didn’t get them back... I thought of the cold feeling in the abyss of space then shuddered. I didn’t want to think on it right now.

  But I could silently curse as I felt the skin of my hands and face tear as I slid across the rough gravel. I was too sacred to remember to cover my face, so I just sucked in my screams and tried to ignore the friction burns that were sure to cover my body, especially after the gown started to rise up.

  Behind me, I could hear Luster doing his own barrel roll as he flew down the mountainside. How he managed to keep his sword from stabbing him, I will never know!

  We landed at the bottom of the hill, at the base of a huge green tree just as the sun chased away the final shadows of the morning.

  “Run!” a voice hissed from above.

  I looked up barely in time to see a shimmering form and deep blue hair before I was jerked to my feet and we were running.

  Glimmer had arrived. We must be close to the Citadel, I thought.

  And we had better not be too far away from the mountain! Luster didn’t know we had lost the box with the letters. If anyone else found them or if they were destroyed...

  I didn’t even want to contemplate that future. I always said that I couldn’t live being parted from Luster; but if that box was not recovered, I would learn what it is like to die with him.

  Chapter Eight

  My love! They know!

  You must guard these words that I have written!

  Keep them from prying eyes, the eyes that will spy

  The eyes that will lie!

  Disasters beyond your imagining will occur if these letters,

  If these precious words, are lost to you.

  Death will be preferable to having them own my gateway to my sanctuary, your heart.

  From the letter box

  “This way!”

  The fairy light voice tinkling at us led us through a winding twisting maze of tree roots.

  This other half of the forest was darker, much denser, and harder to traverse. The men followed the voice and the flash of blue hair and we never missed a step.

  “Lust,” I panted as I ducked and dodged over the thick brown roots. “The letters...”

  “Not now,” he breathed as he looked back over his shoulder before urging me forward. “We need silence. We are too close to the entrance.”

  “But...”

  “Why didn’t you just leave her?” the voice tinkled, the blue hair flashed, and I still could not see who was leaping from tree to tree.

  “Because she is mine,” Luster sighed. “She owns me heart and soul.”

  “How cute!” the feminine, and it definitely was feminine, person snorted. “And is she worth dying over?”

  “That is enough,” Luster snarled as he pulled to a stop, his chest was heaving and damp tendrils of hair clung to his bare flesh. Gorgeous as always, I thought.

  “Glow almost...”

  “Glow did his job. Now I suggest that you do yours.”

  We halted at the base of a rather large tree with a thick green base. The trunk was so thick that I doubt that Glow, Luster and I, with arms linked could reach around it.

  It was from this tree that the arguments were now coming.

  As looked up, the leaves began to tremble and shake, some of the leafy canvas dropping away to rain down upon us.

  I threw my head back further, hoping to catch a glimpse of the mysterious Glimmer, but got another surprise.

  Bark hurts when it gets in your eyes.

  “Ouch!” I cried out as a sharp brown bit of bark pierced my brain. Well, it lodged in my eye but the feeling was just as intense.

  Tears instantly tried to flush out the foreign object, but to no avail. I felt my nose stuff up as I began to do a little hopping dance, blinking rapidly and trying not to wail out in pain.

  “What is she doing?”

  The voice was closer.

  I managed to stop the dance of pain long enough to catch a glimpse of a thing hanging from the tree.

  It had blue hair, so I assumed that it was the missing Glimmer.

  “What’s wrong with it?”

  “Her,” Glow corrected as he scratched his head and stared at me.

  “My eye!” I cried out. “It’s in my eye!”

  “Are your personal barriers so weak?” Blue Hair asked, curious as she stared at me with a familiar expression. It was the same look I gave new specimens under my microscope. Fascinated and faintly disgusted by the unknown.

  “She has no barriers,” Luster answered as he assessed the situation and walked over to take me in his arms.

  I felt his hands caress my face, then a gentle warm gust of air caressed my eyes; pulling out the bark and soothing the scratches that were no doubt covering my cornea.

  Vision clearing, I turned to face the rude creature that still hung in the tree.

  “You must be...ack!”

  Well, it was female and it was beautiful in a strange sort of way. But speaking to people who hung up side down was just plain disturbing.

  She must have been hanging by her feet, for her strong body swung back and forth slowly from a branch.

  It was odd staring at someone whose mouth was where the eyes were supposed to be, but I tilted my head and tried to get a description of Glimmer right in my head.

  Her skin was blue. Not unusual here, I decided, where skin tones seemed to flow to the extreme, but it was her extras that seemed more alien to me than Glow or Luster.

  Her hair was a deep almost cobalt blue. As were her eyes, her lips, and her fingernails I noted as she tapped her chin in consideration.

  As I examined her, she was assessing me.

  “No magic?” she asked as she crossed her arms just under her breasts and frowned. It made deep wrinkles in her forehead and gave her an even more odd appearance.

  “Look, you’re making me dizzy. Will you come down from there?”

  “No time for this,” Luster sighed as he tapped the tree three times. “We have to get inside.”

  “But the letters,” I tired again, putting the woman aside for a moment and turning to face Luster. “You need to know...”

  But my words ended in a gasp as I felt the ground shudder beneath my bare feet.

  I reached out to touch the tree trunk for support, but uttered a single muffled shriek, as my hands touched nothing.

  The tree was gone.

  And I was plummeting into dark unknown space.

  Chapter Nine

  “You know, magic could have prevented all of this.”

  That female voice made the comment, and I know of only one other female that would dare utter such rude words to a total stranger.

  No, not my mother, but a little blue hared imp named Glimmer.

  I tried to open my mouth to deliver a sharp retort, but only groans emerged as I felt my head throb.

  “I think it’s broke.”

  Wi
th that, I managed to open my eyes and try my best not to scream.

  I was surrounded.

  There were glowing bodies everywhere!

  Pink ones, blue ones, purple ones, white ones, black ones, and was that periwinkle over there?

  Where the hell was I?

  “Sinopee?”

  I recognized that voice. It was Luster.

  “Ease off!” a voice called out. “I can smell her fear.”

  “If she had magic, she could defend herself.” That from Glimmer.

  “Be considerate!” Glow’s deep voice rapped out. “She is smarter that she looks.”

  What?

  “But magic could have saved her a fall. Luster could do better.”

  “Ease off!” Luster shouted and instantly the murmur that had begun to fill the place quieted down.

  “I was just saying,” Glimmer began, but at a nod from Luster, Glow reached out and bodily removed the woman from my presence. The others followed, shooting curious glances back at me.

  “How are you?” Luster asked as he sat beside me. I realized that I was on some sort of platform. I looked around slowly, ignoring the pounding in my head and see, to my amazement, that I appeared to be in a dark tunnel.

  “I am... Where am I?”

  “The Citadel.” Luster answered as he gently ran a hand across my forehead.

  “We made it?”

  “The tree was guarding it.”

  Well, this was a place of magic. And I had just spoken to a woman with blue hair and fingernails. A guard tree, I could see it happening here. Seemed kind of appropriate.

  “What happened?”

  “You fell.”

  “I know that! But where?”

  “I removed the tree, displaced it actually, and you tumbled down the entrance. You made quite a splash too. My people have been eager to meet you for some time.”

  “Why?”

  I tried to sit up, but the darkroom began to spin. So I decided to take a visual inventory while I waited for his explanation.

  We definitely were underground; the tree roots hanging from the ceiling gave truth to that. But it was also very warm here, almost humid.

  It was dim, but not dark. I realized my eyes had adjusted to the new environment. And there were pockets of light here and there.
