Chapter 24

“Hey,” Asher found Jordan pacing outside her sister’s door. Sonja had drunk the liquid concoction Erza gave her, and she had recited the chant to break the spell. Then not longer than half an hour afterward, she’d run screaming up to her room, and she refused to come out.

“Hey. I’m going in there.” Jordan had commented on her sister’s stubborn headed nature for the past week now, but somewhere in the middle of it all, she forgot about her own.

Asher stepped closer and pulled her into his arms. With his sexy lips close to her ear he said, “She just needs time like you did. She’s in there immersed in memories that were stolen from her. Why don’t you and I go for a run in the woods and let her have some time alone to sort it all out?”

“I can’t leave her here alone.”

He smiled and kissed the side of her face. That small gesture made her shiver. “You’re such an amazing sister to her. But you’ve done what you can, and Erza and Mamma Crone are here; and Declan.”

“Declan is still here?”

“He won’t leave. He’s sitting down there in the same spot he was in earlier. He says until he knows that she’s okay, he’s not going anywhere. Come for a walk with me.” Asher said. Knowing that both Mamma Crone and Declan were around, there would be people to take care of Sonja while they were out. She needed to make sure her sister was safe, and in the care of family, she would be.

She nodded and took his hand. When they got downstairs, they heard the old women talking in the kitchen and passed Declan sitting forlornly on the couch. He looked up sharply when he saw them. “Is she ready to come out?”

“I’m afraid not yet,” Jordan said. “I’m sure she will be soon.”

Declan nodded and went back to staring at his spot on the wall. Asher grinned and put his arm around Jordan as he led her out of the house. Once they were outside, he said, “It’s killing him to wait. His nature is telling him to just go up those stairs and take her, but he’s afraid of traumatizing her further.” Jordan nodded and snuggled into her mate’s side as they walked. She was glad that Declan was willing to wait. Sonja was a lot more obstinate than she was. If he went in before she was ready, he would definitely have a fight on his hands. They walked until they came to a meadow. It was breathtaking.

The meadow was a glorious breadth of grass and colorful wildflowers. The grass rustled gently in the breeze. There was a slim brook that flowed through it, and the sound that it made as the water flowed across the smooth rocks was almost tranquilizing. Asher sat down alongside it and reached up to Jordan. She let herself be pulled down next to him. He kissed the side of her face. “Things will be the way they should be again soon.”

“I’ve been so wrapped up in Sonja that I haven’t thought about Lennox and Jude. What is Cyprus planning to do about them?”

“He’s working on a plan. He’ll let us know when he’s ready. He’s not going to let them live, Jordan. They’re too much of a threat at this point. Are you okay with that?”

She looked up into his crystal blue eyes. “I think you already know that answer but as long as I get to be there when it happens.” He brought his mouth down and caught her lips with his. Their tongues danced seductively, and she held on to him tightly. The thought that she might have spent her life with someone else suddenly occurred to her, and she shuddered hard.

He pulled his head back and looked at her. “Do you want me Jordan?”

She grinned, “More than life.” He let the hand that rested on her hip gather the material of her dress and without a word he ripped it from her body. Cupping her chin and tilting her face up towards his he kissed her again, sucking her bottom lip into his mouth and nibbling on it. He felt her smile against his lips as her hands gathered the front of his shirt. With a little effort, she ripped it from his body. He grinned too, especially when he felt her hands snaking down to his pants and unfastening them. As she did that, she brought her mouth down to his chest and latched her teeth onto one of his nipples. He growled and wrapped her hair up into his fists, pulling her deeper into his chest. While she bit and sucked on his nipples, her hands went back down to his waist, and he lifted his body and allowed her to slide his pants down over his hips. She didn’t hesitate, taking his long, thick cock between both of her hands and beginning to stroke it.

“Oh, Jesus.”

She made her way down, licking and sucking at the flesh across his hard abs until her lips met the tip of his already dripping cock. She sucked him into her mouth, and the taste of him awakened more of the beast inside of her. She sucked and licked with reckless abandon, causing him to moan and groan and growl in ecstasy.

Finally, unable to take it any longer he reached down and pulled her up to straddle him. He cupped her face again and kissed her long and deep, and then he pulled her up towards his head, settling her down over his face. His hands caressed her legs as she felt him breathing in the scent of her. His tongue reached out and slipped between the lips of her pussy, and it began a little dance up inside of her.

She had her eyes closed and her head thrown back; her long blonde hair shimmered in the sun as Asher pleasured her with his expert mouth and tongue. He sucked her clit into his mouth and bit down gently, making her scream in excitement. She reached down and grabbed his hair, raking her fingernails across his scalp as she shoved his face deeper into her. He sucked harder on her clit as she rocked back and forth on his face. Her breaths were growing shorter, and her moans had turned into sharp little desperate whimpers. He reached up and slipped a thick finger inside of her while he sucked her clit, and that sent her hurtling over the edge. A growl rose up out of his chest as the animal in him took over, and he began to lap at her wildly. She had an orgasm like nothing she’d ever felt before; it left her shuddering and shaking violently, inside and out.

When she stopped shaking, and her breathing began to return to normal, he slid her back down to his waist and then grabbing her back, he rolled them over in the grass, so he was on top of her and then he bent her head down and began to lick and suck and bite her neck. She felt like her head would explode as she kept raising her hips up, wanting him to shove his cock up inside of her. She wrapped her arms around him, loving his warmth and feeling safe and protected than she ever had in her life and highly aroused at the same time.

She let out a pleading whimper, and without hesitation, he buried himself inside of her. He groaned loudly, and she yelped in pleasure. She began rocking her hips against him as he plunged his hard cock in and out of her. They fell into a perfect rhythm, and she pressed her head back into the deep grass, completely enthralled with the feelings he was evoking in her.

After a bit, he rolled them again so that she was on top. She rested her hands on his hard chest and clenched down tightly on him. He growled and pulled her down onto his chest and their arms tangled up together as her hips rose up and down on his throbbing cock. She felt his body tense, and he let out a long, primal sounding groan as he released himself into her. Then he pulled her back down to his chest, and they laid there entwined in each other’s arms, hearts beating in time with each other and panting in orgasmic pleasure.
