Chapter 28

 

 

Jax has me practicing calling my wings and putting them back. I’ve done it what seems to be a hundred times. I’m getting drained. I’m hungry and tired. The threat has passed us, so I know they are headed to my house. I’m sure Storm has arrived there, and they will be ready. I feel that I need to be there to help them. Jax comes in from outside with a bunch of wood. Now that he’s his usual self, he takes my breath away. We still need to talk, and I still want to kick his ass. I know now isn’t the time.

Watching him, he throws a few logs on walking over to me. “Let’s get some rest Spring. We need to start heading back in the morning. I feel a huge storm coming. There’s no food here so getting stuck here would be bad.” He reaches his hand down to me. Taking it, he pulls me up and into him. He’s so hard and warm. Not what I would have thought of a fairy.

“Spring, fairies are not little pussies.” Scowling.

“Why can you read my thoughts?”

“I can’t tell, but in time you will figure it out. I can teach you to block some of it out.” He says, leading me over to the big pile of blankets on the floor. With the fire going we should stay warm. Yawning, I lay next to him.

“You need to feed.” He murmurs, nicking his throat, I watch as the blood trickles down.

“I’ll be OK; I can wait.”

Growling, he gathers me into his arms and pulls me to him. “I want you too. We won’t be mated with taking each, other's blood.

“You need blood?”

“I do, we all do,” Running my tongue, up his neck he shivers. Wrapping my arms around him, I bring his neck closer; his blood is fantastic. Sucking for a while longer, I finally get what I need. Licking his neck, I watch as it heals instantly. Laying my head down on the pillows, he’s breathing hard. Turning to face me.

“May I?” He asks his eyes growing dark.

“Yes, you give freely to me.” I murmur.

Laying on his side, he comes closer. Moving my hair, I groan. Damn, I need to get a grip. He grazes my neck with his fangs, kissing my neck. He lifts a little, “I can make this pleasurable or pain, how do you want it Spring.” He runs his finger across my bottom lip.

“I don’t want it to hurt.” I murmur closing my eyes. Hearing him chuckle I close them even tighter. His mouth is at my neck and before I know it he’s pierced my skin. Tensing for a second before the pleasure starts. I wrap my arms around him pulling him down on top of me. He doesn’t stop but helps me. I need to release while I feed it must be the same here. He runs his hand down to the top of my jeans. They are undone faster than I can blink. This can’t happen. If we do this, it will lead to other things.

“We can’t Jax, stop.” He growls but doesn’t try to take it any further. This mating thing had kind of got me worked up. Besides we need to talk. Feeling his fangs leave my neck I shiver, while he still lays over me. He dips his head. His lips are so soft; I don’t stop the kiss it’s incredible. Opening my mouth his tongue plunges in, playing with mine, he tastes so damn good. He breaks it off grinning down at me.

“Well now Spring, what do we do?”

“Sleep, we fight the fight tomorrow.” Looking up at him grinning. “Keep your damn hot lips to yourself.” I murmur yawning. He wraps his arms around me, laying my head on his chest I listen to his heart beat. Thunk, thunk, thunk…

The cold wakes me up. Looking around, I’m by myself. The fire has died down casting a dark glow around the room. Standing up I grab my clothes putting them back on. Jax lent me his shirt so that I could sleep comfortably. Holding my bra, I know I can’t put it on. If my wings come out, I’m in trouble. Sticking it in the bag, I walk over and sit on the fireplace. It’s still throwing off some heat but not much. Putting my boots on I wait for Jax. Where did the heck he go? The jerk didn’t even wake me up.

“My Queen, are you in there?” My eyes fly open I run for the door.

“Storm, why are you here?”

“We must go now they need you back at the house.”

“I’ve got to wait for Jax; I don’t know where he went.

“Spring, he’s already at the house.”

“What do you mean he’s at the house?”

“Get your things, I will tell you on the way.” He says.

Turning and heading back into the house. I grab my coat putting it on along with everything else. Reaching down to grab my bag, there’s a note sticking out of the side pocket. Grabbing it I open it up,

Spring, I know there will be hell to pay when we see each other again. I’ll be looking forward to it.

XOXO,

Jax

Crumbling it up, I throw it into the ambers. Putting my pack on I head out the door. Strom is waiting for me.

“Leave the bag; someone will come for it. We are making one hell of an entrance my Queen.” He rears up letting his wings out. They are huge and black. Taking a few steps back I start breathing hard. Mine want to come and but, just not the time. I don’t know how to use them. Breathing through the pain, it settles down. Running over to Storm, I mount. Moving to make sure I’m not in the way of his wings.

“My, Queen hold onto me.” Winding my hands up into his mane he takes off at a gallop, feeling his muscles bunch, I grab a little bit tighter. He jumps, and we launch into the sky. It feels like I’m floating. The wind whips me in the face. I hope we don’t have far to go. Getting comfortable, I watch as we skim the treetops. Looking down, it’s breathtaking. I can’t wait to learn to fly.

“My Queen we are two minutes out. You might want to prepare they are going to need your help.”

“On it.” Taking off my jacket, I let it fall to the ground before. Now all I have to do is think about it and my power comes to me. I don’t know what I’ll see up ahead. But I do know it’s a fight for life.
