throat and moved over him
slowly. He sat up and pulled at her nipples until she cried out, then he bit
down on one then the other until she thought she’d die from it.
“Release for me, Dusty. I want to feel you
when you do, see your face when you have your pleasure.” She bowed back and cried
out when she came. He held her tightly against him as he suckled her breast.
When she was coming down, her body nearly lax over his, he rolled her to her
back and took her hard.
Her climax took her breath away. She cried
out his name over and over as he slammed hard inside of her. Just when she was
ready to beg him to stop, her body spent, he threw back his head and roared.
She felt his hot cum touch her as he filled her. Dusty held on to him as her
own body released again and again. When he dropped over her, she felt him roll,
taking her with him until she was laying over him, sated. Closing her eyes, she
let sleep take her.
Chapter 6
Galin moved about the house, keeping an eye
on the windows and doors as he moved. He’d just left Dusty’s bed and he
felt…well, he’d never felt this way before, and wasn’t sure what to call the feelings.
Kip was with the night watcher and he decided that he’d let him go and sit with
the boy for a while. But Boss standing in the living room startled him.
“You have taken her.” Galin nodded. He
couldn’t lie to Boss and found no reason to do so. “Will you marry her now?”
“No.” Boss only nodded and Galin had a moment
of fear. But all He did was turn and walk out of the house by simply fading
through the wall. Galin started to follow but found himself in Tholan’s office
instead.
“You have been sent to me.” Galin sat in the
chair where his friend and boss indicated. “I have a list of things you are to
do from now on. I…you have messed up severely, Galin. He is most upset with
you.”
“I’m not going to marry her. I know that was
His plan when He put me to watch over Kip. But I don’t want a wife, nor do I
feel that I should be forced into it. So if that’s what the rules are, then you
can just tell Him I refuse.” Tholan shook his head and Galin felt his body
tense. “What is it I have to do, Tholan?”
“If you wish, you may continue to watch over
Kipling. But you are no longer to have any contact with the woman. She will no
longer be able to see you or hear you, no matter what. Her watcher will not
give you—”
“No.” Tholan raised a brow at him in
question. “No. I won’t not see her. That’s not fair to either of us.”
“Be that as it may, it is what He has said.”
Tholan picked up the paper and looked at him before reading. “You will do as he
says, Galin, and not be punished more. He told me that you have no wish for a
bride, and it is completely unfair of you to make her suffer when you are only
wanting to bed her. You are lucky this is all He has decreed for you.”
He got up to pace. Galin was trying to think
what was going on, and all he could think was he was being blackmailed into
something that he didn’t want…had never wanted. This wasn’t fair, and he wanted
to hunt Boss down and tell him that. Before he could leave to go and do just
that, Michael came into the room.
“You will do as you are told.” The thunder in
his voice made Galin drop to his knees and his wings to open. Anger was not
something he’d expected from Michael, but he was upset too. They were ganging
up on him and Galin wanted to fight back.
“I cannot be in the same house with her and
not talk to her. We have slept together. Had sex. What will she think when I
don’t come to her if she calls?” Michael said nothing and Galin looked at him. “Is
this a plan to make me do what you want? Is this how you’ll make me marry her?”
“Nay, it is not. Do you wish to stay with
Kipling or not?” Galin had to think about that for several seconds before
nodding his head. “Then you will do as you are told or so help me, you will not
