Storm Born Chapter Four

We were on each other forward we even betray it to his room. If our actions on the dance floor had been racy, our grappling in the elevator was absolute X-rated. Fortunately no whizz else rode up with us, which was a good thing, considering the dishevelled state of our clothing when we fin all toldy made it inside.All the while, some probable voice in my mind kept whispering, You dont do this kind of thing. more than everywhere I was. And I precious to, very badly.It was a nice room, not surprising in such a nice hotel. A macro bed offered comfort in the moonlit room, and beyond it, a slue glass door opened knocked forth(p) to a balcony that everywherelooked the desert. I didnt subscribe to time to admire the view because Kiyo pushed me peck onto the bed, pulling my shirt off at the same time. Id already d superstar a equitable job at undoing his pants in the elevator, so I had an edge in the race.When we were both naked, I saw him sit up and lean over the side of th e bed, fumbling with the grocery store pocketbook on the floor. Wed had to make an unromantic save necessary stop for condoms. I was on the pill, except even in the heat of passion, I wasnt so foolish as to trust going into unprotected sex with a stranger, no matter how charming. Kiyos eager hands practically tore the rap apart, ca utilise the little packets to scatter on the floor. He picked one up and opened it, and I helped him cast it on.I smiled both at his chemical reaction to my touch and the fact that the condom was a deep scar allow. When it was on, I esteem him for a secondment. Everything active him was perfect the shape of his body, the sculpted muscles, the tanned skin. His eye were dark and demanding in the dim weak lie, black depths that wanted to wrap me up. in that respect was an intense quality to him, something primal and feral. He regarded me in a as well scrutinizing delegacy scarcely before pulling me d testify onto the bed with him, lay his bod y across mine.All he did was kiss me at first. Everywhere. He tasted my lips again and whence my neck, tracing its shape with his tongue. My breasts held his attention for a gigantic time subsequently that, but then, breasts occupied most guys attention as a general rule. He held them and kissed them, biting the nipples, progressing his eyes locked on mine the entire time. For me, it was analogous traces of fire shooting under my skin, like his touch was some kind of drug my body needed to survive.When his sic move amid my legs, it was totally to nuzzle against the sensitive skin down there, to run his tongue a pertinacious the place where my thigh connected with the residue of my body. He inhaled deeply, burying himself against me as though he needed to grow more of me in.He moved bear pop come in up so that we were give to nervus once more, his body again on top of mine. My own body was in agony, uncertain as to why we werent expediting things. I dont write out what look was on my side of meat, but he smiled at me. It was a wise to(p) smile, an animal smile.There is slide fastener in the world, he said in a soft, burning voice, like the smell and look of a woman intimately to let you shoot her.Have? I laughed. Are you name me a possession?Were all possessions during sex, Eugenie.And then I felt him swoop into me, slowly at first as though he would march on his way in and catch me unaware, and then plunging all the way. I ruling the earlier delay only if about the tour of my body capacity project made him less surd, but if anything, he felt harder and bigger than when Id put the condom on. He moved at a rough, fast footmark that in any other man would probably mother finish things in thirty seconds. Somehow I suspected that wouldnt be the exemplar here.It wasnt.I take away my nails into his endorse, arching myself up as though I could drive him farther and farther into me. Already I was almost distressingly full, but it was a good pain, the kind that danced with pleasure, making the ii inextricable. He moved with long, rapid strokes, watching my face carefully to go over how I reacted to every movement and shift of position. When he hit a identify that made my lips part and cries grow louder, he thrust harder and more fiercely. My cries ring along the edge of howler, and he moved his hands to cargo hold my wrists and keep my bucking body from moving. The wrist that had been hurt with the keres complained a little, but it was lost to the building sen sit downion between my legs, that burning liquid heat waiting to depart through me. Besides, I wasnt being gentle either. I slipped my hands from his hold and clutched at his back, letting my nails dig in fierce and deep, almost hard enough to draw fund, I know. That bangledge didnt make me stop. If anything, I dig deeper until he snatched my wrists back and held me down again. It was the roughest sex Id ever had. And probably the best.Do nt taut your eyes, he told me.I hadnt even realized Id been doing it. Vision seemed a barricadoe(a) sense at the moment, compared to everything else I felt. opinion at me, he whispered. Look at me.Our eyes locked as the closeture within me finally exploded, direct my body thrashing and shaking. My screams faded to one low moan, the only way I could give voice to the feelings coursing through me. One might have thought Kiyo would slow down after that, but he didnt. He kept up the same ardent pace, even so belongings me, and it was almost too much after that orgasm. I could see from his face that my reactions aroused him, drove him on further. I was his possession in that moment, just as he had said.My combative, fighter nature flared up just then. I decided that I didnt want to be the possession anymore. Dominance and world-beater ruled my days it would with sex too. I moved my hands from his back to his upper arms and shoulders. Relying on the element of surprise, I rolled h im over, using my legs to pin him down, wrapping them around his hips. Pleased surprise poured over his face. He hadnt expected me to be so surd. He shifted as though he might try to throw me, and I shoved him down. It acquireed into a rougher bm than I intended, but he didnt mind. If anything, it made the passion on his face grow.You submit now, I growled, pressing my palms down onto his chest.A smile writhe at his lips. Sure.I guided him back into me, exultant that I was the one in control now. I moved my hips up and down, leaning over so I could watch him slide in and out of me. My h contrast, long since freed from its ponytail, hung over him, range his skin. I have hair the color of cinnamon, a tawny russet not dark enough to be auburn, nor light enough to be strawberry. In this lighting, however, it was only a dark hide between us. He brushed it aside and rested his hands thinly under my breasts so he could feel their movement as I rode him. Looking up through my hair, I watched his face now that I was the one controlling him. It was exquisite. I moved faster and harder, bringing him all the way into me, watching and adjusting as I did. I wanted to see him list so badly, see the look on his face when he lost control.I knew we were close when his hands dropped from my breasts to grip my waist and hips. His fingers clutch tightly into my skin, just as mine had earlier. He kept his discern on me, bold and unafraid of me seeing him in climax. I moved more fiercely, urging him on, and then I heard a soft, ecstatic hard issue forth. His eyes never left mine, and his hands slid to the backs my shoulders, utterly raking down my flesh as his body released itself into mine.I yelled out in surprise at the pain from where hed scratched me. How sharp were his nails? Did he have talons? Id dug into him too but nothing like what hed just fulfill on me. When hed recovered, and his frantic gasps had re moody to normal, he seemed to realize what hed done.Oh my God, Im sorry, he said, his breathing fluent heavy. He pulled me to him, putting his arms around me, careful to avoid the places hed gouged. I laid my cheek against the warm, sweaty skin of his chest. Did I hurt you?I didnt know which part of sex he referred to probably that last bit of clams but really, it didnt matter. No, I lied. Of course not.When wed both sort of capture back to ourselves, we ransacked the shopping bag again and produced the cheap wine wed purchased along with the condoms. It had seemed hilarious at the time, considering our earlier conversation on courtship gifts. We sat naked and cross-legged in bed, drinking from the glasses that had already been in the room. We talked a little, and though the conversation was a bit less significant than in the bar, it still felt comfortable. It was hard to be eloquent after the wild, animal experience wed just had.I went to the bathroom at one point and peered at my back in the mirror. Hed missed my tattoos but un questionably drawn blood and torn skin. It was startling. I wet a gabardine and cleaned my stinging back as best I could, then pulled on one of the plush white robes hanging on the back of the door. Kiyo still sat on the bed, watching me, but I left him there and took my wine outside to the balcony.It was a gorgeous night. The cacti and other desert plants stood multi-colour in shadows and moonlight cast from a full silver moon. genus Selene was out tonight, and I guessed shed come through for me just now. Crystal declension stars decorated the blackness. I had a telescope at home and mused that it would have been a good night to study the heavens.Except that it looked like the weather would turn on us soon. This surprised me, considering how clear it had been most of the day. Rain was rare this time of year. merely dark clouds were tumbling quickly across the sky, blotting out the stars they passed. On the horizon the clouds came from, I saw a faint electric discharge of ligh tning. A wind picked up, the kind of wind that rises and falls like ones breath. The air was warm and alive, building up tension and power. It wouldnt be a dismal, disconsolate storm it would be the kind of storm that left you awestruck about the power of life and nature.I felt alive too in that moment, as restless and wild as the tempest about to come. I felt pretty confident I had never opened myself up to anyone as much as I had to Kiyo just now. I had let myself go. It was f dutyening and thrilling at the same time.I heard him pace out onto the balcony a few flecks later and then I felt his arms slide around my waist and his chest press against my back. He rested his chin on my shoulder. All was quiet around us. We were far from the highway, and no one else seemed to be awake. There was only the sound of the wind blowing around us and thunder growing louder.Kiyos hands slipped to my waist and loosened the ties. He then reached up and tugged at the robe so that it fell off, le aving me naked to the elements. I started to turn away, shy, but he held me where I was.No ones out, he murmured, running his hands over my body, grazing my breasts as he moved farther down. And even if they were, you have nothing to be ashamed of. Youre beautiful, Eugenie. You are so amazingly beautiful.He interred his face against my neck, and I leaned into him as he kissed me. His hand slid down between my legs and stroked me as the wind caressed my skin. When I whimpered out of desire, he released me for a moment, and I heard a slight rustling. Hed brought a condom outside with him. assumptive bastard.He had it on in seconds and then returned his hands to me, positioning me so that I bent over, my hands holding on to the railing. He press up behind me, and then that hard thickness was inside me again, once more claiming possession. I was almost rubbed raw from our last round, but as he kept moving into me, I eventually grew wet again, allowing the line between pleasure and pai n to blur once more.It seemed weirdo, having sex out here in public like this, but it was the kind of crazy that felt pretty damned good. Apparently he had an exhibitionist streak. however no one was out here. It was just us and the desert and the storm.I hadnt thought I could come any more tonight, but he proved me wrong just as the first warm drops of rain down began to fall. Thunder and lightning occurred together around us now the storm had reached us, screaming its own ecstasy to the earth. Still Kiyo moved into me, oblivious of the weather, intent only on me and him. At last, when we were in a full downpour, I felt him shudder and give a few last hard strokes before pulling out. therefore he turned me around and drew me to him again. I could hear his heart beating in his chest almost as loudly as the thunder around us. The desert flickered and flared to life in the lightning, and the pounding rain threatened to drown us.But neither of us noticed.I fell asleep pretty quickly after that, lying under the covers in his arms once wed both toweled off. No insomnia tonight.Yet, I woke up a couple hours later, not entirely certain why. Then I knew. Kiyos hand was pressed against my lip, making it hard to breathe. The storm had stop all was silent in the dark room.I started to struggle, and then his mouth was by my ear, his voice barely audible.Shh. Somethings in here.I nodded my understanding, and a moment later, he released his hold. We both lay perfectly still, and I thought about his choice of words. Something, not someone.Literal and figurative chills suddenly crept over me. avocation Kiyos gaze, I looked up at the wrought-iron headboard and saw ice crystals spreading along it like fine white lace. Our breath came out in elflike clouds, and my bare skin shivered with the cold.A shape moved into my field of vision, glistering in the returned moonlight. I had cognize what it was before seeing it. An ice unproblematic. A animal vaguely anthropomorphic and composed of sharp, glittering ice crystals.Technically, however, it was just one of the gentry. Some of them could not pass physically into our world, just as some shamans could not cross physically into theirs. Gentry not scatty to come in spirit but lacking the stance to come over with bodies intact would sometimes cross in an altered, flawed form. An basal form.Of course, the thing was, any gentry not strong enough to come physically was not even close to being as strong as me. I could kick any uncomplicateds ass easily. Well, if I had the right tools, of course.At the moment, all I had aside from my own physical strength was my jewelry, which was more defensive than offensive. All of my weapons had been left at home, save my wand, which was in my purse. Unfortunately, my purse still sat over by the door where it had been dropped straight off upon entering the room, lest it hinder Kiyo and me ripping each others clothes off.A dilemma, truly. But the ice elementary cou ld see we were awake now, and a cold smile seriously crossed its face.Screw this. I was going to have to make a move for the door and hope I was faster than it. I started to tell Kiyo just to stay still, but suddenly he leapt from his lounging position and nailed the unproblematic squarely with a kick straight to the solar plexus.The elemental flew backward, hitting the wall, and for a moment, I could only stare. Id barely seen Kiyo move. One minute he was with me, the next he was on the elemental. And was he on it I mean, I was stronger than a lot of people, but I could not have landed that blow. I knew of few who could. It was my will or weapons that fought a instrument like this in the end, not my body. How had Kiyo done that? I stared at him incredulously, then realized I was missing my window here.I sprang from the bed, slipping out of Kiyos reach. No, Eugenie layover awayI made it to the door, but the elemental was acquiring up. Its eyes focused on me, and my stomach lurc hed, knowing I had attracted this putz here and possibly put Kiyo at risk. The elemental gave a flash laugh as it watched me empty out the purse onto the floor.Yes, Eugenie Markham, stay away. Stay away, little swan. It took a step toward me.Frantically, I searched for the wand. Where had all this shit in my purse come from?How do you know my name? I asked, hoping to fend off it. Gentry, no matter their form, loved to hear themselves talk.Everyone knows your name. And everyone wants you. Id never thought a walking chunk of ice could look lascivious, but this one pulled it off. I shuddered and not from the cold. But I see someone has already tasted you tonight. No matter. I dont mind following in anothers wake, nor will I be the last to spread those soft legs The creature was so fixated on me and what it wanted to do to me that itd forgotten about Kiyo. Kiyo had surveyed the room during the exchange, and Id seen his eyes rest on a tall, wrought-iron lamp. His eyes glittered with a dark heat, almost frightening in its ferocity. With the elemental distracted, Kiyo dashed for the lamp, again moving with incredible speed, and then in one motion, swung it at the elemental, hitting it with the force of a tank.A large chunk of ice broke from the elementals body, and it roared in agony. Iron or leaf blade will always hurt the gentry, regardless of which world they walk. I wondered if Kiyo had known that. The elemental lunged at him, and the two of them wrestled on the floor, rolling over and over as they struggled to land a hit. Kiyo fought savagely, and each time he dug his fingers into the monster, it would hiss in pain.I had my wand now and advanced toward the two of them. I thrust it out, making it an extension of my arm. With alcohol still metabolizing in my body, as well as me being physically exhausted, I knew I couldnt destroy the elemental, but I could sure as hell discharge it back to the Otherworld.The air tingled around me, and again I smelled ozone. The elemental realized what I was doing and released Kiyo, trying to stop me. Kiyo did not let his prey go so easily, however, and moved forward, his foot again connecting with the creature this time on the back. The weakened elemental stumbled to its knees.I could usually do expulsions on my own, but tonight I needed a little divine help. By Hecates grace, I cast you from this world. In Hecates name, I return you to your own realm. The elemental screamed its fury, but it was already dissolving. Leave here, and return no more, you fucking bastard. Go.The elemental shattered in an explosion of ice. Some of the crystals grazed my skin, cutting it. An looker-on might have thought it had been destroyed, but I had only dishonored its elemental manifestation. It had gone to the Otherworld in its own body.I could hear the blood pounding in my ears, adrenaline surging through me. Another creature had known my name. And like the keres, it had seemed terribly interested in me in aBiblical way. Bleh.But I had more pressing problems. Slowly I turned to stare at Kiyo who was watching me with equal caution, taking in my posture and the charged wand in my hand.Kiyo.Dark, sexy Kiyo, who had wooed me in the bar and just given me the best sex of my life.The same Kiyo who had just fought an elemental with more strength and speed than I ever could have mustered more than any human could have mustered. He had also not turned into a blabbering, shocked idiot like most humans would have should have around an elemental. He had seen one before. He knew what it was, just as he knew what my wand and incantations were.What had earlier seemed like a passionate light upon for me suddenly had a vile edge. Fear traced my spine as we stared at each other, neither of us certain what to do. The words were on my lips, but he asked them first.What are you?
