Chapter 3
She was trying to kill him. Ciyrs watched her eyes dilate and scented the musky scent of her arousal. He was trying to behave and take care of her before sinking into her. He didn’t want to push her if she wasn’t ready, but apparently she was. He felt her wetness, saw it in her eyes, and when she touched him he knew he was a goner.
In a rough move he lifted her and shoved her against the tiled wall. “Wrap your legs around me.”
She did and then he slid inside of her in one swift movement. She cried out and tightened her legs around him. He groaned when it pushed him deeper inside. She was hot, wet, and her muscles clenched around his cock. His body spasmed and then she kissed him like a starving woman. Her tongue touched his and he held her against the wall making love to her. He went slowly even when his body raged to mark her again. Let the world know she was his. He needed to reestablish his bond with her, but he held back afraid to scare her. Hell he scared himself.
His new power wasn’t the only new change. There was more to him now. He was more than the loveable healer. He had a dark side now, and Ciyrs wasn’t sure what to do about it. Should he embrace it or run?
“I love you Ciyrs,” she said and moaned when the shock of her words had him driving into her rougher.
He watched her eyes and knew she was serious. “I love you too Eliana.”
This time when he kissed her, he let the wild in him out. His body heated and she gasped into his mouth. He pulled back to make sure she was okay.
“Your skin is so hot.”
“We have a lot to talk about—after.”
Then he drove into her taking what was his. She was his and he held her tight against him. She withered and moaned squirming against him and the wall. The more she struggled to move the more aroused he became. “God please don’t fucking stop.”
Her skin was slick with water and sweat as the shower still poured over them. He rocked into her, and when she screamed his name and yanked his hair pulling his head back he roared as he came inside of her. She quivered and held on to him as he rode out his climax.
He stood holding her against the wall breathing heavily. His skin had gone back to normal, and she gripped his jaw and kissed him lightly on the lips. “I never knew I could miss someone so much.”
“Oh baby, I missed you too. Ask anyone; I was sort of nuts knowing you were out there somewhere hurting.”
She shivered and he pulled out settling her on her feet. Instead of getting out he took the rag and lathered up more soap. With gentle circles he cleaned her body before his own. “Let’s look you over. You were running barefoot. They probably need healed. Then we need to check on Gyyx’s mate.”
“I want to see if she’s awake.”
He pulled her out of the shower and wrapped a towel around her body before grabbing his own and wrapping it around his waist.
He was still aroused, and the need to make love to her all week came to mind, but he had other responsibilities. Gyyx needed him and he owed him a great debt. If it weren’t for the royal warrior, he might not have found Eliana.
She rushed to the room and found her bags. He stood back and watched as she pulled out a pair of yoga pants and a tight T-shirt. He went to get dressed himself. By the time he was dressed she was done and groaned when she lifted her arms and stretched. The smooth pale skin peaked out from her shirt.
“Let’s go check on them. You can have me again later,” she said and smirked.
“Sorry. I’ve been told the mating fever is fierce. I think it’s even worse since it got interrupted and you were taken.”
She looped her arm through his and smiled up at him. “I understand. I’ve never felt like this before. We do need to talk though. There are some things that happened. Something I don’t understand.”
“I know baby. We will.”
He led her outside and by the time they made it to the infirmary the news had spread and everyone offered their support and asked if she needed anything. Eliana was family now. It was their way. The moment he knew she was his, he knew everyone would accept her. She was one of them now.
Eden smiled as soon as she saw them. “Thank god he found you.”
Eliana recoiled from Eden and her eyes widened. “Why do I love her?” she asked in a whisper.
“That’s Eden. Apparently you have a connection to her through me. What you feel is all of our emotions.”
“Oh.”
“She was the one who was able to tell me you were alive. You’d shut me out and I panicked.”
“How’s the woman I found?” She asked, but by the look of sorrow on Gyyx’s face it wasn’t good.
Eden sighed. “I’ve healed her body the best I can. She had some nasty bites and such. I don’t know, I don’t think I’m as strong as Ciyrs, and with the baby I don’t have as much energy.” She rubbed her belly smiling.
Gyyx looked at him pleading. “Please help her.”
“Just don’t try to rip my arms off when I touch her.”
“I won’t. I want her to wake up.”
He kept his hand wrapped around Eliana’s and stood next to Eden. She backed away giving him space, and he took a deep breath before letting go of his mate’s hand. With cautious movements he lowered his hands to the unconscious woman. As soon as his hands made contact an electric shock tore through him. He was thrown back against the wall and landed with a large thump.
Eliana ran to him and helped him to his feet. “What the hell was that?”
Gyyx looked at him with wide eyes. “I didn’t touch you I swear.”
“I know, but she certainly didn’t want me touching her. Eden did you get shocked?”
“No, but I’m also not as strong as you.”
Ciyrs rubbed his head and eyed the new stranger. She was certainly alive. They had no idea who she was, how long she was with the Klimnu. He could sense she was human so he knew she wasn’t actually one of their enemies. It was strange. It was almost as if she knew he wasn’t her mate. She didn’t want his touch.
“Touch her Gyyx,” he said trying to test his theory.
“What?”
He sighed. “Work with me here. Touch her.”
Gyyx ran his finger over the bare skin of her arm. He wasn’t slammed around and in the silence they heard a small gasp. She didn’t wake up, but there was movement behind her closed lids.
“She knows you. Somehow she knows you’re the one meant to touch her. Now I’m going to touch her again and see what happens.”
Clenching his jaw he did the same thing Gyyx did and before he finished his move pain tore through his body and he was again thrown back. This time it felt like the electric shock had been powered up a notch. “Holy fucking shit, that hurt.”
“I think you’re theory is correct, Ciyrs, please stop the pain hurts me too,” said Eden and her face was pale.
He rushed to her side. “Oh baby doll, I’m sorry. I just wanted to see if this woman was aware. Part of her is.” He pulled her into a hug and froze when he heard a gasp.
He pulled away from Eden only to turn to see his mate running out of the infirmary. Shit. He winced and ran after her. He couldn’t leave her alone. Not so soon after getting her back, but he had a feeling he was in trouble.
