Obsessed (45 page)

The light tinkling of laughter danced in her mind, a taunting, teasing sound. Panicked, Tierra shouted his name again, but her words only echoed in the mist cocoon. She struggled to move, but the blue mist bound her body too thoroughly.

An intoxicating perfume of roses and lilies wound around Tierra…

Her muscles relaxed instantly…her fears calmed…and she faded…faded into nothingness.

“Anistana!” Renn shouted, clenching his fists, staring at the spot where his heartmate had been standing only moments before. “Return Tierra at once!”

The Faerie Queen’s laughter bounced from tree to tree, as though she was a sprite hopping from one branch to the next.
I instructed you to never return to my woods again.

“It was certainly not of my choosing to land in your realm.” He flexed his arms, wishing he had something to pummel. “Punish me if you wish, but free Tierra.”

Silver sparkles flashed before Renn’s eyes, but he refused to blink away the brightness as Anistana materialized before him, completely naked as she was wont to be. Laughter sparked in her emerald eyes…eyes that were not unlike Tierra’s. His gaze narrowed as he took in the Faerie’s lithe form. Anistana’s red locks that tumbled to her small ass were the same fiery shade as Tierra’s. Why had he not noticed that before?

“Because, fierce warrior of the Nordain.” She gave a lazy flap of her gossamer wings, rising to hover just before his face. “You see only what you wish to see.”

“Enough.” He scowled and folded his arms across his chest. “Seek what revenge you might upon me, but let my woman be.”

“You have always been a self-centered bastard.” Anistana shook her head, a red lock sliding over her naked breast. “Why must everything be about you?”

“I tire of your riddles. Your games.” Renn growled, and then added through clenched teeth, “Speak plainly.”

Anistana fluttered her wings, bringing her close enough to him that her mouth was just above his, and he tensed. Every flap of her wings pushed rose and lily scented air past him, evoking memories of the many times he had fucked her.

Never again. Tierra was the only woman for him now.

“My most arrogant man.” Anistana moved her lips to his ear as she trailed one finger down the scar she had given him not so long ago. “It is not against you that I seek revenge.”

He moved his head away from her, his frown deepening even as he saw a flicker of something dark—perhaps sadness or regret—in her expression.

“Who then—” he started.

But the Faerie Queen vanished.

* * * * *

Delicate fingers caressed Tierra’s cheek and she smiled. Surely one of her heart-sisters gently trying to wake her from this strange dream. A dream where she was sitting on a chair of gold velvet, her hair spilling over her shoulders and sliding across her skin like a caress…like Renn’s caress.

Memories tumbled through her mind as she lifted her eyelids, blinking the sleep away, only to see a beautiful being standing beside the golden chair.

The woman smiled. She had skin as dark as the night sky, lips the color of the reddest jensai bloom and hair that tumbled over her naked breasts in cascades of nightfall. And gracious lords above, gorgeous nipples of deep burgundy peeked through the woman’s dark locks…and her quim, bare of all hair.

The sight of the woman’s slender, naked body and pert breasts brought a flush to Tierra’s cheeks. Heat rushed through Tierra as her gaze returned to the woman’s face.

“Welcome home, child of Fae.” The woman’s smile reached her amber eyes as she leaned close and stroked Tierra’s hair from her brow. “I am Elinni.”

Child of Fae… That was what the man To’en had called Tierra.
Welcome home.
What did she mean?

“Where’s Renn?” Tierra asked instead as she shifted on the gold velvet cushions that felt so soft against her naked skin. Then she gasped as she noticed wings rising behind Elinni’s back…wings of ebony that caught the light in an iridescent shimmer. “You are Faerie.”

Laughter twinkled in Elinni’s amber eyes, but then she licked her lips and knelt beside Tierra’s chair. “You are in Astral, the Faerie realm.”

Tierra caught her breath as her gaze moved to the ceiling above—which was not actually a ceiling at all. Silver leaves glittered overhead, making a soft musical sound that was not unlike the Faerie Queen’s laughter. And the walls—they were of crystal. It was as though they were outdoors, yet not.

As Tierra’s gaze traveled the room, she was amazed at the sight of couches and chairs made of gold and crystal, and a very large bed covered in gold satin. Rose petals of the deepest pink were scattered across the bed and over the gold-veined marble floor.

When her eyes came back to meet Elinni’s, Tierra smiled. “It is beautiful here.”

The dark Faerie eased between Tierra’s knees, pressing her naked thighs apart.

“What—” Tierra started, then gasped as Elinni leaned close, her lily scent like an aphrodisiac to Tierra’s senses. She felt lightheaded and warm, and suddenly very aroused. Flashes of memories came back to her, of the times she had seen a tavern wench licking another woman’s quim, and how provocative the sight had been.

The Faerie’s black hair shimmered like raven’s feathers and slid across Tierra’s skin like a brush of silk as she pressed her naked skin close. “So sweet,” Elinni said before she captured Tierra’s nipple in her mouth.

“I—oh, my lords.” Tierra could hardly think, so intense did the Faerie’s mouth feel upon her nipple. “You shouldn’t—”

“Why not?” Elinni moved her mouth to Tierra’s other nipple. “You are not bound to anyone, are you? Or mayhap you belong to Renn?”

“No.” Tierra frowned. “I belong to no man.”

Of course she wasn’t his.

She had merely played along. Submitted for her own pleasure and fucked the man, the first of many men, she was sure. She had always planned to experience pleasure with as many men as possible, once she escaped the village with her halias. She did not intend to be bound to any man—no matter that Renn had forced her to say that she was his.

No matter that she couldn’t imagine herself with any other man but Renn.

Tierra tossed her hair over her shoulder and struggled to deny any type of relationship between her and Renn, beyond sex.

Ohmylords incredible sex.

She swallowed. “It’s simply that I—I have never experienced pleasure with another woman. And I do not know you.”

Ah, but you do know me.
Elinni placed her dark hand on Tierra’s pale breast, while her tongue continued to swirl around the other nipple.
Unlike in the human world,
Elinni said in Tierra’s mind,
everyone enjoys sex here. It is an expression of ourselves, our caring for one another. There is only joy in coupling.

Silver sparkled in the air and Tierra’s eyes widened as another Faerie appeared—a Faerie who looked very much like Elinni…but with no wings.

Heat flushed through Tierra—here she was in a room with a woman sucking on her nipples and another one watching. It was strange but exciting and erotic all at once.

Elinni smiled and began working a trail down Tierra’s belly. This is my twin, Ibella.

Before she thought better of it, Tierra blurted out, “I thought all Faeries had wings.”

“Welcome to Astral.” Ibella knelt beside the chair and stroked Tierra’s nipples with both hands as Elinni’s tongue circled Tierra’s navel. “I am a second-born twin. Second-born twins never have wings.”

“I—oh…” Tierra’s words turned into a moan as Elinni slipped further down toward the patch of red curls below. Truth be told, she’d always wondered what it would be like to enjoy such pleasures with a woman.

Aye, enjoy the pleasures as your true heritage meant for you to.
Ibella leaned over and began sucking on Tierra’s nipple, her night skin so dark and beautiful against Tierra’s pale flesh.
Women with women, men with men, multiple partners. In Astral, as in Renn’s Phoenicia and in the Elves’ Seraphine, such pleasures are expected and most definitely enjoyed
. Ibella’s tongue flicked and dance as she spoke in Tierra’s thoughts. Even if you are bound to another, you may enjoy touching, petting…and tasting anyone you wish.

Tierra’s hands clenched the chair’s armrests and she moaned. “This is true?”

Of course.
Elinni’s ebony wings fluttered as she moved her mouth to the inside of Tierra’s thigh licking a trail to her knee.
Renn has certainly fucked most of the women in Astral. Several at one time.

“He has?” Fury rose up within Tierra so fast and so strong that her vision blurred. She couldn’t imagine any other woman with her dark warrior, and the mere thought made her want to scream. Made her want to find every one of the Faeries and rip their wings out one at a time.

Her gaze cut to Ibella. Well, those who had wings.

“Relax,” Elinni murmured aloud, smiling as her tongue reached the fiery curls of Tierra’s mound. “Renn will enjoy watching.”

“Renn will…” Tierra’s gaze snapped up to see the dark warrior standing only a foot away. Her heart pounded at the look on his face, his clenched jaw, his silver eyes flaring.

Oh, lords.

Good lords, but Renn looked good as he stood before her. Every jealous thought fled Tierra’s mind and she no longer cared about the Faeries he had fucked before he met her.

She had to have him.

His head was high, his hands clenched into fists at his sides, and his cock thrust out thick and proud. The expression on his face—nothing short of insatiable lust.

She gasped as Elinni’s tongue teased her wet slit and Ibella suckled her nipple. “Does it arouse you?” Tierra asked Renn, her voice wavering as the Faeries swirled their tongues over her sensitive flesh, “…to see other women taste me?”

“Gods, yes.” Renn gave a slow nod, a pained expression upon his face. “The sight is almost more than I can take.”

Oh, heavens above. It was almost unbearably erotic to have Renn watching as the Faeries licked and sucked her. The scent of lilies spun around Tierra as Elinni’s wings snapped open and shut. Elinni nipped at Tierra’s clit, causing her to cry out and buck her hips against the Faerie’s face. Ibella continued sucking on one of Tierra’s nipples.

“Stroke your cock.” Tierra’s voice trembled as she stared at Renn’s eyes. “I—I want to see you pleasure yourself.”

His gaze intense, he wrapped his fingers around his staff. “Touch your other breast,” he ordered.

Shivers of excitement coursed through Tierra as she complied. The action set her on fire, as though it was Renn whose hands caressed her at that very moment.

“Suck your nipple,” he commanded.

Tierra pushed her unattended breast up with one hand and lowered her head ’til her lips were close to the rosy nub. Her eyes still focused on Renn, she lapped at the nipple and moaned. The sensations were wild—Elinni between her thighs, Ibella nipping at her other breast, Renn stroking his cock as he watched them, and her own tongue licking her nipple.

Renn could barely hold back his climax as he stroked himself and watched Ibella and Tierra, along with seeing Elinni’s dark head between his heartmate’s thighs.

One moment he had been striding through Wilding Wood, shouting to Anistana to take him to his heartmate, his bellow echoing through the forest.

And the next moment he was in the same chamber as Tierra.

Only to hear her deny that she was bound to him.

That denial twisted like a dagger in his gut, but Renn knew without a doubt she was his. He would never let her go.

Tierra reclined, moaning and giving in to the sensations. She threw her head back, her red tresses spilling over the chair and almost reaching the floor. Her breasts jutted forward, her nipples large and hard with arousal. Her long legs were splayed wide and she reached down to bury her fingers in Elinni’s dark hair.

Eyes glazed with passion, Tierra watched Renn stroking his cock and she moaned as the dark Faerie lapped at her nub. Ibella reached across Tierra to fondle her other nipple while continuing to suck the first one.

“Come here,” Tierra said to Renn. “I want to taste your cock.”

Renn reached her in one stride and growled his pleasure as she took his length in her mouth. She made hungry, purring noises against his shaft, squirming as Elinni brought her closer to climax.

“Yes,” he murmured. “So warm, so wet.” He fisted his hands in her silken hair, watching his length move in and out of her sweet mouth. He gritted his teeth as his orgasm rose within him. “I am close, denai.”

Elinni hummed. Tierra screamed. Her orgasm slammed into her and her eyes met Renn’s as her body vibrated with the force of her climax.

Renn’s hips jerked and he groaned as his seed spurted into Tierra’s mouth. Even dazed from her orgasm she continued to suck his cock, taking every drop of his release ’til he was completely spent.

Tierra swallowed Renn’s seed, enjoying the taste of it, the feel of his cock in her mouth. Elinni continued licking Tierra’s clit, drawing out her orgasm ’til she could take not another moment. Ibella continued touching, licking, tasting Tierra everywhere.

“You are sweet indeed, child of Fae,” Elinni murmured as she moved her mouth from Tierra’s folds and kissed the inside of her thigh.

Sweet, indeed,
Ibella agreed.

Renn eased his cock out of Tierra’s mouth and slid his hands through her hair, his fingers tangling in its length as his eyes remained fixed on her.

Gods. Those eyes. The way he was looking at her. As though she was the most precious thing to him on all of Dair.

She tore her gaze from his to glance at Elinni and Ibella—but the Faeries had vanished, leaving behind only iridescent silver sparkles that winked out one by one.

“Where—” Tierra started then shrieked as Renn scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the enormous bed commanding the center of the chamber.

He tossed her onto the golden covers and she sank into the softness. Rose petals brushed her skin as she tried to sit up, but Renn climbed onto the bed, pushing her back down and settled between her thighs.

“Do not move, woman.” He scowled as he braced his hands to either side of her head. And his cock—that amazing cock—was fully erect and pressing tight against her belly.
