Chapter Nineteen

In The Night

She woke in the night... needing him.

He heard her whimpering as she pulled the covers off his body and moved to her knees. He knew she was desperate. Her body was healing. Changing. She needed to quench her craving for Binding Pollen.

Raptor's head fell back in ecstasy as Grace licked the first drops of fluid from the ripe, plum-shaped head of his erection. He told himself he should stop this. Explain that she would consume more of the Binding Pollen if she kissed him and activated the nodule on the roof of his mouth. The dust on his body and the secretions from his cock would provide some relief—but not enough.

The addictive properties of the dust made it impossible for her to think clearly. He bent to move her away, silently congratulating himself on his gallantry and control. He hissed involuntarily when her fingers curled around his shaft and she moved to envelop his straining cock in the searing, wet heat of her mouth. All thoughts of chivalry ended with that first rush of fire.

She sucked half of his length into her mouth and her tongue continued to torment him with lazy, maddening swirls. The glistening powder covering his body now coated her lips, and she lapped every bit of him she could reach. Frustrated, she removed her lips from around his cock to slide them up and down his shaft, hungry for more of his sweet taste. Raptor sucked in a sharp breath as she wrapped her hands around the base of his shaft and once again bent forward to take him into her mouth.

That lasted only moments until she changed it up and started using the tip of her tongue to tease him. Frustrated, she pushed his legs apart, gaining easier access to his body.

Without taking his eyes away from the sight of her mouth playing with his thick, extremely engorged cock, he reached out to palm the back of her head. His body trembled with the fierce desire coursing through his veins. He couldn't take much more of this.

Moving one hand down to his balls, she drew her fingernails lightly over his sac, sending the air from his body. Squeezing the hand around his flesh, she flicked her tongue over the deep silver head. Her mouth slid along his cock, and she swirled her tongue under his flesh and then over the top. Teasing. Darting here and there while she suckled. His hips jerked, nearly lifting him off the bed. He grabbed for the headboard and tried to find an anchor. Pleasure burst through him, rushing through his veins. His body shuddered as fire raced up his spine.

Running another slow lick up and down his shaft, she bobbed her head over his groin, swallowing as much of his length as she could take. The breath exploded out of his lungs as she drew him deeper into the tight, hot recess of her mouth. Every time she licked and suckled—the Binding Pollen drew her closer into his world. But it was hard to care about that. All he wanted was more of her heat.

Bunching the fingers of one hand in her dark brown hair, he thrust his hips forward and pulled her head down, filling her mouth. Goddess! Her tongue felt like rough velvet when she licked the underside of his cock. Writhing under her ministrations, he fought to control his body.

Gaze locked on Grace—he watched raw desire cloud her eyes.

Tightening her grip, she slid her fists to meet her mouth. Keeping her lips firm, she flattened her tongue and added pressure. Increasing her hold and her speed, she mimicked the cadence of his hips.

She took him so deep the flash of fire through his groin spread through his body. Tugging at her hair, he hoped he wasn't hurting her. The heartfelt groan told him that she reveled in the small sting of pain. Humming around his flesh, she brought him to the edge of sanity.

Raptor thrust faster now. Short and hard. Balls drawing up close to his body, he attempted to pull her head away from his flesh. "You have to stop, Grace. Let me—" Oh! Fuck, that feels good. Yet he wanted, needed, to bury himself deep within her body.

Raptor couldn't stand it any longer. Her mouth was pure pleasure, its moist heat pulling at every nerve in his body. But he wanted all of her. Wanted his mouth, hands, and cock to drive her to the same insane pitch he was feeling. The touch of his Keeper was driving him crazy—and his body—his body was pumping out Binding Pollen. Flooding his mouth—pushing his need for this woman to an impressive level.

Grace refused to stop. The shake of her head and her deep-throated growl, denying him, was all it took to send him over the edge.

His cock thickened. Jerked. Grew hot and full until jets of liquid exploded from the tip, which Grace greedily swallowed. Reaching for her, he lifted her onto his lap, kissing her gently, tasting his essence on her lips. "Now it's my turn," he growled.

She laughed, full of fire and happiness, and he got caught in the sight of her pleasure.

With a growl, he flipped her onto her back.

He fit himself over her, enjoying the small sigh of pleasure as their bodies touched, as the Binding Pollen once again coated her skin and tongue, and brought liquid fire to his veins.

The Guardians that had already claimed their Keepers suggested he make the sex something she couldn't live without. Then she would be less likely to stay upset with him for long if the pleasure was mind-blowing. She wouldn't worry as much if he forgot to tell her something. And there were definitely things he'd left out.

Those mated Guardians even gave him a few pointers on how to ensure she was so overwhelmed with the pleasure—she wouldn't think to protest his lack of total disclosure.

It excited Raptor, anticipating everything they recommended.

Grace

A dazed Grace bounced boneless on her back when Raptor tossed her to the side and scrambled over her, covering her flesh with his own. She strained in anticipation when he moved against her, working his body and that wonderful powder into her skin. Everywhere he touched her, the strange luminescent Binding Pollen made her tingle and increased the sensitivity of her flesh.

She leaned up and met his kiss. His flavor was like nothing she'd ever tasted before. And she needed more. She moved her hands down his back to the curve of his ass. Overwhelmed with the feel of him, with the tingling in her body everywhere their skin met.

Tongues mingling, she was immediately swamped with more of that cinnamon taste. The taste she craved. The taste that silenced her sanity. She sucked his tongue into her mouth and fed on the spicy flavor of her Guardian.

"You need more," Raptor whispered as he captured her lips.

She felt the spicy liquid flood into her mouth, and she sighed with both pleasure and amazement. Happily succumbing to his embrace, she knew he was right—she needed more. Lots more.

Raptor shifted once again. "I've got to taste you," he mumbled. Stroking her breasts, his fingers tugged at her nipples while he buried his face between Grace's open thighs. She gasped for breath and cried out, "I can't think."

"I don't want you to think," he growled.

She giggled and then, body writhing under his touch, she bucked when his tongue pressed deep. He released her nipples, moving his hands to her hips, pulling her flush to his plundering mouth. He found her slick with heat and held her in place while he took what he wanted. She loved every minute.

Raptor made it very clear that all he wanted for now and forever—was Grace. He wanted her. All she had to give. God, she loved this man!

Grace was strung so tight and held unmoving by Raptor's hands. The only thing she could move was her head. She thrashed it back and forth, digging her fingers into the covers, trying to brace for what was coming. She cried out for him to stop. To never stop. Then made nonsensical noises that only spurred him on. Grace's body shuddered through one climax, and he slipped two fingers inside her channel. At the same time, he prodded her clit with his tongue, shooting her into a second orgasm before he finally crawled up her body. She couldn't take much more.

Every touch of skin on skin caused her body to clench again.

"Wrap your legs around my waist, Grace," he demanded.

She groaned. Exhausted. And still managed to lock her ankles around his thighs. Using his hands, he pulled her tired legs higher. Grace felt the thick head of his penis nudge against her weeping core. With no hesitation, she opened for him, pulling her thighs farther apart and rocking her hips upward, encouraging his possession. The broad head of his shaft drove through her soft, tight folds, the friction on her already sensitive nerve endings making her cry out, sobbing against his neck. "I can't," she cried.

"I'll do it for you, my love," he whispered. The pressure inside them built. And built. Ricocheting through their bodies, it multiplied until the pleasure was so intense that it needed to end before they lost their minds.

Catching Grace's hair, he pulled her head up so he could kiss her, and she sought and found the nodule in his mouth that held the Binding Pollen.

Her body vibrated and clamped tighter—Raptor sank deeper. Grace jerked, throwing her arms around his head to hang on, her hips twitching against him. A bolt of sensual lightning spread to every inch of her body.

"Yessss!" she screamed as it threw her body into a tidal wave of spiraling need. The sweet torture increased as he lowered his head to trail his tongue across her chest until he concentrated his efforts on the tip of one breast. She moaned as his tongue flicked across the sensitive bud and thrashed at the combined sensations of his cock pounding against her clit while his mouth suckled greedily at her nipple. She had never imagined sex could be like this. More pleasure than she ever dreamed of.

She moaned each time he breached her swollen folds with the thick bulb of his cock and slowly slid his long length into her. He pushed deep and pressed their bodies tightly together. Then tilted his hips forward to ignite all her pleasure points. She could feel him pulse within her. Feel him vibrate against her clit. Her body clenched around him in a tight spasm.

"Ohmygodohmygodohmygod," Grace shrieked wildly. Her body shuddered and trembled beneath Raptor's heated assault. She scaled one unbelievable peak after another, with no way to determine when one orgasm ended before another began.

Raptor

Raptor gently kissed her forehead and then brushed his mouth over each closed eyelid as he slowly moved to her mouth. He used his tongue to wet her lips and then delved deep. Kissing her, ravishing her... claiming her in an endless fusion of mouth on mouth. It wasn't enough.

Silken inner muscles clamped around him, tightening until he felt strangled somewhere between pleasure and pain.

Raptor used his arms to push his chest away from the sweet temptation of her body—he would look into her eyes as he claimed her. "Look at me," he said hoarsely, willing her bemused green gaze to meet his. "You are mine, Grace. Mine forever," he proclaimed as he slipped his throbbing shaft through her slick heat. "Mine. Mine. Mine!" he repeated deliberately as he punctuated his claim with the hard rhythm of his thrusts.

Raptor snapped his teeth shut and struggled for control as Grace's inner muscles strangled his cock. He never wanted this to end. Urgently, he rocked his hips against her as his mouth teased over her breast. Her frantic movements beneath him drove him higher, forcing him deeper within her hot, clenching passage. She was scalding him with her hot cream. Tight, she was so wonderfully tight.

Raptor could feel his eruption start to spread throughout his body. With a hard thrust, he sank balls-deep into his woman. Losing his mind and finding the missing pieces of his soul. It was bliss. It was worth waiting untold centuries for. Grace rose to meet every drive of his hips, every thrust and surge, urging him to slam harder, faster. Until he felt her next release rip through her body and capture him in the vortex. Her scream tipped him over the edge, and he exploded into a violent orgasm. Slamming against her, he stilled as his body let go and filled her with his seed. The long, vibrating pulses of his cock had Grace reacting with more spasms of her own, and she came once again. This time she milked him dry, and they both panted.

Collapsing on top of her, he rolled to the side. Taking her with him, he snuggled her body close to his. She was nearly asleep. "I love you, Grace. I never thought I'd get to say those words. Or feel the deep emotions that go with them. But I do. I love you. "

With her face pressed against his chest, he felt her lips move to form a tired smile. "I love you too, Raptor. You were a big surprise and in my wildest dreams... I couldn't have imagined you." Her even, shallow breaths filled the room as he felt her body relax and she slipped into sleep. Raptor grinned.

She loved him, too.

He kept his arms wrapped around her. Content to lay there quietly with Grace in his arms. In the aftermath of their lovemaking, he basked in the glow. The other Guardians got this piece of advice right. How could anything upset his Keeper after that? He knew she would have more questions for him when she woke, but he treasured this quiet time with her.
