Chapter 98 Chapter 98
She couldn’t think to find her voice, so she raised up on her knees to help him reach. As sharp teeth sunk into her breast, she felt a rush of heat between her legs. When he lifted his head away, she grabbed his hair and guided him to the other one.
He teased her nipple and nipped across the sensitive skin, driving her need higher. She felt his hands sliding under her skirt, up her legs, but all she wanted was his teeth in her flesh. He sucked hard on her nipple as his fingers ran along the wetness between her legs. She mewled softly as he stroked her, making her need more.
“Fuck,” he panted, “you’re killing me.”
He nipped her taut bud with his teeth as she felt him moving his pants out of the way. Strong hands gripped her hips as he began guiding her to take him inside her body. He growled against her throat as he controlled her movements.
She didn’t know what to do, he stretched her and it should have hurt, but she needed… more.
“Shaelan, look at me,” he whispered beside her ear.
She opened her eyes and looked into his lust filled eyes.
“Yes?” He stopped moving completely, forcing her to answer him.
“Please,” she hissed, then attacked his mouth with her lips.
Groaning, he gripped her hips with strong fingers and thrust up into her at the same time.
She felt a slight pinch, then was so filled by him she thought she was going to explode. Pulling her mouth away, she leaned down and ran her teeth along the stubbles on his jaw. “Please,” she purred.
He lifted her and slammed her onto him. She moaned and threw her head back. He gripped her hair and pulled her face back down to his.
“Ride me,” he snarled with clenched teeth.
He guided her for a moment with his hands until she found her rhythm, then he grasped both of her breasts and squeezed. Shae felt like she was going to shatter into a thousand pieces, she just kept climbing higher. He sucked one nipple, then the other, and her legs started to shake.
When he bit into the unmarked breast, she had to clamp her bottom lip between her teeth so she wouldn’t scream out in pleasure.
Grasping her hair, he pulled her mouth back down to his so she could moan into it while he took over their movement. She was barely breathing as the orgasm ripped through her, each thrust after that made her moan into his mouth softly. He stiffened and hissed against her lips, as she felt a heat burst into her.
Dropping her head onto his shoulder, she grasped and panted for air to fill her lungs again. Her whole body was pulsing and quivering.
“Water,” he gasped.
She grinned in a lazy way and held her hand in that direction, but didn’t move to get it.
He leaned, taking her with him and then she heard him swallowing the water. She lifted her head, realizing she needed a drink as well.
After a few sips, she lowered it and looked at him. The silence of nothing but their labored breathing was intense as it dawned on both of them how far they had gone.
“Save some water,” he motioned to where they were still joined, “to wash off the blood, so the guards…”
She stiffened and looked down to where they were joined.
Gently, he pulled her bra back into place and reached around to clasp it. His eyes stayed on hers as he pulled her shirt down slowly so she was covered again.
The insides of her thighs were quivering so much, she wasn’t sure if she was going to be able to get up.
“Shaelan,” he whispered in a barely audible voice.
Her eyes snapped back to his. She bit her bottom lip, not sure what to say or do.
“That wasn’t normal. It’s not usually so…” he looked at her mouth, “powerful.”
She wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. She settled for just nodding briefly. Setting the water down, she grasped his shoulders and started to rise. The feel of him gradually pulling out of her made both of them gasp. She froze, kneeling above him, waiting for the strength in her legs to return.
Reaching up, he cupped her cheek and stretched up to kiss her mouth softly. “Calum,” he said quietly, then shrugged, “so you have a name, not a nameless stranger.”
She didn’t know why he was trying to make her feel better about what she’d just done, but it was endearing.
“You better go.” He said abruptly and patted a hand on her hip.
She nodded and slowly got off him, to stand on shaky legs. Picking up the water, she handed it to him as she grabbed the bag and sprinkled some of the herb lightly around the room.
“What is that?”
She stopped and picked up the bag. “Stink weed, covers up scents.”
He snorted, “Name’s appropriate. It’s all I can smell all the time.”
She went over and took the water bottle he held out. “I think that’s why they use it.” Tucking the bottle into the bag, she added the whiskey and then straightened and looked at him.
He shook his head. “Go, before you get caught.”
She went to the door and opened it, peeking out into the hall. Glancing over her shoulder at him again, she quickly went out and closed it. Placing a hand on it, she stood there for a second and couldn’t understand why she wanted to go right back in.
Her aunt’s laugh startled her into action, she ran down the hall with soft steps and ducked past the office they were in. Going out the door, she closed it without a sound and ran for the gate.
She kept running until she was at the top of the hill, looking back down on the yard. Good night, Calum.
He sat there in the absolute silence, too stunned to collect his thoughts for several minutes, could have been hours, he had no clue. What had just happened? Calum shook his head, he knew what just happened, what he didn’t know was why. Hadn’t he sat here all day pissed off, deciding he was telling her to get out the moment she stepped in the room?
He rubbed a hand over his face, hearing the chains made him stop and glare at them with abhorrence. Dropping his hand, he glared at the door. Then she stepped into the room, vibrating with fear and anxiety. It had been coming off her in waves so strong it almost choked him. After that, he only planned to mark her just enough to leave his scent on her for a few days. That entire plan went awry when she moved close to him. Then his prison room turned into a bakery. What the hell was with this cinnamon thing? And since when did smelling it turn him on? He’d never felt anything but indifference for it before, sure it tasted okay in pastries or whatever, but… Seriously, you’re thinking about cinnamon?
Shuffling back against the cold wall, he leaned against it, and pulling his knees up to rest his arms on top. When he kissed her, tasted her, took her scent into his body, he forgot about his plan and decisions. He could still taste her. Banging the back of his head gently against the wall a few times, he blew out a breath. What had just happened?
He’d checked for odd smells in the food they brought him. Had they fed him those herbs Dale mentioned? Now he understood why Dale thought he had two mates. Those were some potent herbs.
It wasn’t the herbs that had made him help her though, that had been his own damn soft spot for a female in distress. He couldn’t remember ever seeing a woman look so frightened and yet so lovely. Those soft eyes… when she bit that bottom lip of hers, he may have agreed to do anything.
Damn, what are those herbs?
The marks he’d left on her weren’t temporary. He didn’t know the finer details about mating, it wasn’t largely talked about among males, but he was sure those were permanent mating bites he’d left in her soft womanly flesh. Calum hadn’t intended to mark her like that, but he had no control over it. She’d have those long after he was gone.
Shit. He hadn’t even asked her about getting him out of here. He tapped his head against the wall a few more times, trying to clear the fog she’d created from his mind. Pausing, he wondered if she’d come back. He opened his eyes and stared at the door, why would she come back? There was no reason to, now.
After she’d looked so stricken by what had happened… ashamed. That hit him harder than all of it. He’d felt so compelled to put her at ease, and he hadn’t been lying. Never, in all his experience had it felt like that.
Resting his elbows on his knees, he dropped his chin into his hand and sat. He was in one hell of a mess here, and he wasn’t even sure if being chained up was the biggest concern.
