Laying Claim to the Soul (10 page)

He bent down and scooped Tabatha into his arms, carrying her. “I’m here, baby. We’ll find out what’s going on, it will just take time.” Wol-itelm grinned down at her. “How would you like to ride the dragon?”

Her eyes got big and she smiled. “Really, but how? Everyone would see you here.” she asked.

“Ahh, but we won’t be here,” he stated, walking now through his home in the sky. Tabatha squealed and squirmed in his arms. “Put me down. I want to explore, then we can go flying around. Last time I didn’t have any time.” She kissed his chin and waited for him to lower her to the ground.

“Wol-itelm I didn’t expect you back here so soon. Is this your human mate?” Cywdyn-qua asked, coming into his place, not caring that she didn’t announce she was coming.

“Put me down, please,” Tabatha finally squirmed out of his arms, doing something totally unexpected, shocking not only him, but Cywdyn-qua.

Chapter Thirteen

Finally getting out of Wol-itelm’s arms, Tabatha smiled and walked over to the one they called Cywdyn-qua, holding out her hand. “It’s so nice to meet you and thank you so much for all of your help.”

At first the tall woman stared at her, then smiled, shaking her hand. “You are perfect for my friend. I like her, Wol-itelm. You have done well and I will personally help in any way I can. So what brings you two here?”

“I haven’t been the same since that thing put me in,” she waved her hand. “hyberspace or whatever you call it. The thought of what they could have done to me, well it just brings up bad memories that I thought were healed and buried. If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go explore his home and give you two time to talk since I know that is why you are here.” She nodded at the beautiful lady. “It was a pleasure meeting you, Cywdyn-qua, and maybe when all this crap is behind us, we can get together and just be friends if you want.”

She turned when Wol-itelm stepped in front of her. Tabatha looked up into his deep green eyes. “What past? Tell me who hurt you so long ago,” he demanded and she grinned, patting his chest when another tiny bit of smoke came out of his nose.

“Easy there, it was a long time ago and I have no idea where the boy or man is now, so relax. Talk with your friend. You’ll find me when you are finished.” She yanked on his shirt and he lowered his head so Tabatha could kiss his lips softly. “Don’t take too long,” she whispered and he growled when she rubbed his cock through his pants. “I want to fly before we have our night, and that is a pun baby, because I want to see my dragon. I know both of you will show me the stars, only differently.”

Behind her Cywdyn-qua bursted out laughing. “Oh Wol-itelm, I do believe your woman and I are going to be very, very, close friends.”

She smiled, stepping into another room and almost tripping on her on feet. Color blossomed everywhere Tabatha looked. It was some kind of library, but none like she had ever seen. Purples, reds, greens, blues all played in this room. Giant pillows, two couches, rocking chairs, even a bed in the corner next to what looked like a fireplace. There were no walls, just books and more books. “I’m so going to stay here for a long, long time…Melody, Shannon.” She smiled and knew what her best friends’ reactions would be upon seeing this room.

Taking a deep breath, Tabatha could smell the books and she sighed walking towards the first wall of books. Some of them she knew were in different languages that Tabatha shouldn’t even understand, but she did. “
Darko,”
she whispered.

“There is no reason for you to not to understand when I have the power to grant you such a wish. The worlds around us would be a better place if more individuals cared to learn more then to react. We will create our own library for your friends to enjoy. I’m afraid they cannot come here unless they are bonded with one of our group. I will be done here in a minute and will join you.”

“
I am fine, do not rush. I’m still exploring.”
Tabatha pulled out a book and busted out laughing. “
You read erotic romance?”
she asked, tracing the cover of one of her favorite books. It was the first book in Cherise Sinclair’s, 
Club
 
Shadowland series, Master Z.
Tabatha shivered picturing the man in the book. He was one of her favorite book boyfriends. She’d collected many over the years, which had always kept her going through the rough the spots.
 

A warm body and strong arms wrapped around her, Wol-itelm nipped her shoulder. “You do not need any more book boyfriends. You have three full grown alpha men who would give you any world, if you asked.” He turned her so she was facing him.

“I’ve read every book that was your favorite. What interests you, I wanted to know about it. I want to give you everything you crave, need or want.” He slid his hands in her hair and pulled her head back. “And you are my pet, little one,” he said before claiming her lips.

She wrapped her arms around him, her body now firmly against his. The kiss was scorching hot, the moves he did inside her had Tabatha needing his touch on her body. She wanted, no needed, to submit to him. It was like coming home in his arms. Maybe soon, she would get the collar she craved, just like the one her friend had around her neck.

Tabatha broke the kiss and fanned herself. “Ride first,” she said, trying to catch her breath.

“Oh, you’ll get your ride,” he said his eyes almost glowing as he stepped forward into her personal space again.

“No, not that yet!” she laughed and put his hand on his chest. “I have a surprise for you, I think.” Tabatha turned away from him and, taking a deep breath, made her way to the living room where the doors to outside opened before her.

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. 
Okay little ones, help me
, she whispered to the babies in her belly. Was it true, could she do it? Muscles stretched, bones crunched when Tabatha pictured the white dragon in her head. It was weird feeling the shift, but it didn’t hurt, which surprised her since it was her first time.

“I would never allow pain if I can help it. I thought it was a dream you had experienced, but this…” Wol-itelm’s heated gaze meet hers as he stepped in front of her, the white dragon. “My mate!” he snarled so loud his body shifted right there, stepping back into the air, holding his position in front of her.

“Come fly with me,” he ordered, allowing her enough room to move out of the house and into the air.

At first Tabatha took a nose dive, falling at least a hundred feet before Wol-itelm was there under her, holding her until she could figure out how to fly. With her heart still in her mouth, Tabatha took off, flapping her wings. 
“I’m doing it!”
She screamed and once more rose towards Wol-itelm’s home, circling it. “
Wow, it’s big. It’s going to take me a week to explore all those rooms and I’m going to look at each one.”

“
Not tonight, you and I have plans, my little dragon. Now watch where you are going!”
Wol-itelm ordered and she snorted and dipped low, earning a growl from him.

“Tabatha! 
Do not do things like that. You are new to this,
” he chased her around another home. She laughed, seeing two men in the windows watching them. They seemed to be laughing and pointing to Wol-itelm.

She moved to his side.
 “I’m sorry if I’ve embarrassed you in front of your friends,”
Tabatha said.

“
You did no such thing. They are just laughing because I can’t control my mate as they think I should,”
he teased and bumped her body with his, trying to come over top of her.

“
I don’t think so. That will have to wait till we are done flying
,” Tabatha laughed, feeling the male dragon’s cock rub against her back. She swerved off to the left, an area Tabatha hadn’t seen yet, but was thrown back by an unseen force when she got to close to one house.

She shook her head and frowned. “
Did I do something wrong?”
Tabatha asked when Wol-itelm came over to her, licking her snout before turning his head, shooting fire out of his mouth at the house below.

“
No, it’s just Erole, he’s the one who goes to the Zeaster’s when things are out of control, but he had no right to do what he did, since you were only going to fly around his home.”
He sent out another burst of flames coming close to the man’s home.

“
Wol-itelm I’m fine, stop it. I was just shocked. If he doesn’t want us over there, that is okay,”
Tabatha brushed up against him, knowing he was furious. “
Plus, I’m getting a little tired and I don’t want that especially since I want that special night you promised me.”
She teased before taking off and heading back to his house. “
I mean we have been flying for how long?
”

“
It’s not been that long and you know it, but that is okay. I’ll deal with him later. I want you stripped and on that bed, little pet.”
He sent the picture of her stretched out on his bed, her legs pulled up to her stomach and spread out, giving him access to whatever part of her body he wanted.

“
Wol-itelm
,” she whispered and landed on the deck of his house, shifting. She had no clothes on when Tabatha changed back. Her legs shook, but not from tiredness, but from the pictures her man was sending her.

“Master, I’m your Master. I own this body, don’t I, Tabby?” he asked, coming in behind her and running his fingers down her side, skating the outer rim of her breasts.

“Umm, yep whatever you want, sir,” she said turning, but he stopped her, pushing her forward and swatting her ass hard.

“On the bed now,” he ordered, his voice seemed to take on the air of command of one of the heroes of her romantic stories, from what Tabatha could see.

“Ow!” she rubbed her ass and glared over her shoulder at Wol-itelm.

“That is a fictional character. You have the real thing right here, pet. I don’t want to be compared again, now get moving,” he said.

“Fine, but it’s a good comparison Sir, Master,” she saluted him and took off running when he snarled.

Tabatha stepped into the bedroom and tears came to her eyes. Candles, roses, and lilacs filled the room with their scent and beauty, but what held her gaze was the leather straps attached at the head and bottom of the bed. Hanging from the ceiling was a metal bar with cuffs which had her gulping. Over to the side of the bed was a cabinet with all sorts of toys in many sizes. Some she had no idea what the hell they were. “Well, fuck me,” she whispered going over to one strange orange thing. “What in the world?”

A sigh from the doorway had her jumping onto the bed and positioning herself like he had shown her. She looked up at him leaning against the wall, his long blond hair shone, the muscles in his arms weren’t too big, but were pronounced like that of a swimmer, his green eyes seemed to glow and his cock was thick, long, and ready for her. And the reaction her body was having for him told her that she was ready for her Master.

*****

Wol-itelm stood there for a few minutes just taking in all that was his woman. He knew what she craved and he would give it to her, but there would be no toys tonight, just loving and claiming what was his.

His gaze moved to the stand next to the bed where he had put the collar Tabatha craved. Hoyt and Chax both had informed him of ow she had teared up seeing her friend’s collar. Where Hoyt would marry their beauty, Wol-itelm would collar her. She would wear Chax’s and his collar. They both had made it while she had been gone, knowing that Tabatha would be back in their life.

Hoyt and Chax waited to join them after Wol-itelm had his own time with her. He moved away from the wall. With only a thought, his hair was braided and out of the way, as he moved to the left of the bed and held out his hand.

Without a thought, Tabatha place her small hand into his. He brought it up to his mouth and kissed each knuckle before placing the leather binding around her wrist. He made sure that the leather would not mar her delectate skin, even though by the time Wol-itelm was finished with his little pet she would carry his love markings proudly on her body, soul and heart.

Her gaze never left his while he traced a finger along the inside of her knee, lifting it up kissing the back of it. “You have beautiful, powerful legs, and soon they’ll be wrapped around my waist, but not yet. No, now I plan to explore you, inch by inch.” He ran his tongue over her skin and down the inside of her thigh, tasting the salt and sweetness that was only her.

A little whimper escaped and he smiled. Tabatha would be making all sorts of noises by the time he was done with her. He reached under the bed and pulled out the satin rope, tying it around her knee, spreading her wide, but giving her some room to move as he adjusted the rope.

“Perfect,” he bent down and placed a kiss on her womanly lips before moving to the other side of the bed and repeating the process, which only had her trying to squirm. He stood at the end of the bed and watched the slight tremor of shakes run through her legs and stomach.

Her eyes were glazed over, needing his touch. Her scent was driving him crazy and could stir any animal to a sexual frenzy. There was no more waiting.

Wol-itelm climbed onto the bed, in between her legs, kissing, and nipped the inside of each of her thighs before he licked around her pussy lips. The fluid that leaked from her, there were no words for the taste. He was addicted with one swipe of his tongue, his taste buds coming alive. Wol-itelm buried his tongue inside her.

“Sir!” she screamed.

“
Just starting
,” he sent her, sucking on her pussy lips, giving her little markings up and down them, starting the claiming of his kind, while fucking her with his tongue. She was so wet her juices slid down to her ass, lubing it for his fingers.

Slowly, he inserted one finger into her neither hole, rocking it in and out, till his woman was ready for another stretching, knowing Tabatha would be taking him here later with Chax claiming her pussy and Hoyt her mouth.
