Chapter 24
ADAM
Astrid’s lack of response had my lycan perk up. He tries to start my heart, but I refuse him in an effort to not panic right away.
I walk into the tunnel and it’s a small room with a smaller entrance to another cave.
I slip into the room and have to stop. I swallow at the sight of Astrid naked and waist deep in a large mountain lake. Water is pouring into it from the ceiling on the other side just off the center of it.
My shifter growls and my heart starts. My hands itch as I watch her bare back float across the dark water to the waterfall.
Her long white hair cascades down her milky skin and her slender arms are outstretched. Her delicate fingers play on the waters surface as she walks.
The water has gold shimmers that highlight the tops of the ripples she’s creating.
She enters the falling water and my mouth waters as I watch her run the water through her hair. She turns and my heart pounds.
The water pours over her small, luscious breasts and her beautiful pink nipples drip with water. The pressure in my pants grows as I watch her wipe the water from her face.
My eyes land on her soft stomach and something came over me.
I pull my jacket off and undo my pants. I slip off my boots and pull off my boxers along with my jeans.
I keep my eyes locked on her porcelain skin as I enter the water. It’s ice cold, but I’m colder despite the growing hard on I have for her right now.
She turns away and continues to clean herself and I lick my lips as she pulls her hair over her shoulder, exposing her bare back.
She must have either heard me or caught my scent because she turned with shock, but I rush her in a blur. Water explodes around us in giant wake waves as I take her into my arms, grab her nape and slam my lips on hers.
She moans as my tongue finds hers and my mind is electrified with white lightning. Her taste is nothing I’ve ever had before. She’s so soft and beautiful, I thought my heart would rip through my ribs. My shifter rises and he’s so heated, he howls from his cage egging me on to take her.
I won’t fight him this time.
My hand rest on her flawless cheek as I deepen the kiss. Her arms and legs wrap around me and I pull us back under the waterfall.
She whimpers and I break the kiss. My lust filled eyes meet hers. “Let me have you.” I whisper on her lips.
She’s lost in my gaze and can only let out a shaky breath in response as my hand finds her core. My fingers enter her slit and I find her little clit.
Her breath is panting as her brows stitch up. “Yes.” She whimpers back.
I bruise her lips as I rub her pussy hard and fast.
I’ve never just wanted a woman like this. Not for food, but for only desire and want. Her legs wrap around my chest and my erection turns to stone.
I pull her hair and stretch out her neck. My lips taste every inch as I listen to the thump of her rising heart beat. The heat between is unreal in this water. Her arousal and scent is intoxicating.
In the dark of the cave, she glows. The water is like diamonds on her pale, milky white skin as it pours over her. Like an angel in the night seeking solace in the demons home.
Never through all my lifetimes, have I experienced this. The hunger is more than the blood I need to live.
“Yes…Adam…” She moans.
I lift my head and watch her. “I want your body and soul. I want to taste your life.” I say as I nip her chin and jawline.
She cries out as I find her entrance and insert my finger. My thick finger thrusts into her slick pussy and she buries her head into my shoulder. Her wetness is noticeable in the ice water and the heat between her legs is fueling my beast. Her moans fill my ear and my vamp growls in satisfaction. It’s the first time he’s done that without blood on his lips.
My lips engulf hers as the water pours over our heads. Her body presses against mine and for the first time, I truly felt alive.
I feel her walls tighten and she arches back. I lick between her breasts and kiss her soft mounds. My teeth find her nipple and I bite it gently. I suck it into my mouth and twirl my tongue around it. I lick my way to the other one and do the same as her moans become stronger.
She holds onto my neck and hair as I lick and suck my way back up to her lips.
“Yes!...Adam…” She pants and I plunge deeper into her.
Her body quivers and her climax rises. I swear, the heat would boil the water if it wasn’t so cold. She’s so responsive to my touch.
I pull her back into me. “Come for me, snowflake.” I whisper in her ear and hook my finger.
I hit her g spot and she falls right off the edge.
“YESS! GOD, YESS!”
Her pussy clamps and I assault her more.
I bite my lip as she throws her head back. Her screams bounce off the walls and my dick throbs. I need to be inside her.
“Open to me. Give me all of you.” I hold her head in my hand and admire her gorgeous face as I fist my dick and find her entrance.
I hold her waist, plant my feet and shove my length into her.
“ADAM, YESSS!!”
I hold her head to my neck and wrap my other arm around her waist and hips as we float in the water. My thrusts are deliberate and strong as I push her down on me.
My hips hit hers with an almost animalistic attack. My grunts and groans add to her sounds and my wolf spins in a dance of celebration. His emotions flood me and I use them to pleasure Astrid to the fullest.
The lake water rocks and splashes around our bodies as I take her. The beasts inside howl and bark at the feel of her wrapped around my girth. I pull her ass up and push her down on my full strokes. Feeling my own climax building, I can’t help but fuck her harder.
“So hot and wet.” I grind as I push deeper into her. Her wetness coats me and my mind swims with the ecstasy of her. “Your pussy is mine, snowflake.” I clench my teeth and speed up.
She screams and holds me tighter.
The waves we’re creating splash the bank and cover us in water when they return to us.
I feel a renewed energy in this water. Like it’s adding to the life I’ve already allowed in. It feels…magical.
Pulling her head up, I kiss her passionately consuming her as my heart rate matches hers.
Then something happened that I didn’t expect.
I heard a voice come through.
Her voice. Somehow our minds connected and stare into her eyes as I continue to thrust into her.
As if in a dream, I feel her inside.
‘Astrid.’
****
ASTRID
I have no words.
I didn’t want to be powerless, but the feel of his strength around me made me weak. I submitted my body to him like it was the most natural thing to do.
His touch is gentle, yet commanding. His kiss is passionate, yet controlling.
I’m a not just a woman, I’m a possession he claims and I feel it in my soul.
He fills me with every stroke and I feel his desire. His hands hold me and control my movements. I’m a doll in his grasp.
His pale green eyes stare into mine and I feel him in my mind. He’s there. Commanding my thoughts as well as my body. I must know. This all so strange.
‘Who are you?’ I think. I didn’t expect him to answer, but he did.
I hear his thoughts in my head as his hands explore my body. The ice cold water does little to quell the heat rising between us.
He takes his strokes harder and I bite my screams into his shoulder.
‘I can’t tell you.’ He purrs as he caresses my skin. ‘But I can show you.’
‘How?’
‘Brace yourself.’
His dark voice echoes in my mind as his head lifts. I see a flash of fangs and my heart stops. I feel his fangs enter my veins and I gasp.
“OH GOD!! YESSSS!!”
My body shakes as my climax rips though. My nails score his back and my legs tighten around his waist as he drinks my pulsing blood. My pussy tightens and my come coats his growing girth.
The water around us thrashes as he pummels me faster. His fingers indent my skin as he holds me tight against him with a growling hunger.
His hard, deep thrusts heighten the experience and the fierce grip he has on my neck has me weak with desire.
My head falls back and I whimper as I feel him drink…then the images come.
Like a broken dam, I’m flooded with thoughts of people screaming for help and trampling others. They’re stampeding for a safety that isn’t there.
From the dark, Vampires run and leap at them. They kill them one by one in front of my eyes. People run for their lives, some try to defend them only to die by the demonic creatures. The cities burn and crumble. Mothers cry and fathers are subdued. My heart is crushed by the pictures he’s showing me. My eyes well with tears as the worlds destruction plays out in my mind and I try to comprehend what I’m seeing.
A tear runs down my cheek when I’m shown flashes of Adam fighting hordes of monsters. The images flip and the people change over and over, but the fight is the same.
Then I see a small group of men and women. They are held by vampires in front a dark figure. Each one at different points in time, are stabbed by a large black dagger. Their dead bodies fall to the ground and I hear Adam cry out for them.
Adam seems to whimper through his growl as his fangs hang on and I feel my blood flow with the water.
I feel his pain. My heart absorbs it. Through Adam’s eyes, I watch them die by the monsters hand and feel his weakness to stop it. I hold him tight as I cry for him. These people were very close to him much like my family was close to me, but lost just the same.
I hitch a breath and squeak as he feeds. I don’t know what hurts more. His grief or his teeth.
He slams my pussy with powerful thrusts in a show of strength that tells me that even though these horrible images exist, it won’t stop him from being the man that he is.
As the visions fade, I slowly lift my head. He removes his fangs and cups water in his hand to wash off the blood as my skin knits back together.
His blood covered lips find mine and I’m left haunted by what he showed me in my mind.
He growls low and I feel his dick swell inside me. I cry out as his fingers bruise my skin. His jaw clenches and he huffs out breaths. His body tenses and his eyes lock with mine.
His hips hit harder as his release explodes inside me and I scream at the feel of it. My body trembles and he growls possessively as he fists my hair, pulls my head back and gazes into my lust filled eyes.
‘Who are you really?’ I ask in my mind.
He pulls my head forward and places his forehead on mine. ‘I'm yours.’
‘But I don’t know you.’
‘You know more than most.’
He wipes my cheeks of the water and tears and holds me in the heat of the passion he just gave me. My wolf is purring in my chest, but judging from her emotions, she feels the same hurt I do.
“How can you be mine?” I rub my thumbs on his cheeks. He’s so beautiful. I don’t know how he can claim such a thing.
“You’ve seen inside me.” He moves a wet lock from my cheek. “You’ve seen who I am. I don’t think my mind would’ve opened to you if you weren’t.”
“I'm not sure what I saw.” I look down then back up at him. “But I think I understand a little more.” My thumb brushes his lower lip. “It’s true what you shared is special, but I don’t think you should give yourself to me.”
“Why not?” He looks at me curiously.
I give him a little smile and sniff. “I now believe I’m strong enough for you.” I choke.
He smiles and wipes my eye. “Well, you’ll just have to prove you are, won’t you?”
He holds my chin in his fingertips and I kiss him. He deepens the kiss and my heart races. Do I believe he wants to be mine? I want to be his, but am I worthy of such a warrior?
He breaks the kiss and pulls back. “Let’s get some sleep.” He mumbles on my lips.
I nod and he pulls out, drops my legs and guides me out of the water.
I pull shirt out of my pack to dry us off with and get dressed. Adam runs around in a circle really fast. The wind from it blows some of my hair and I have to shield myself from the dust that was kicked up. When he stops, his hair is sticking up in a wind whipped look. It makes me giggle and he laughs as he flattens it. His laughter gave me pause. I didn’t think he could laugh knowing what he knows.
We walk to the main room and settle down for a few hours rest. I lay on my pack and he lays on his arm.
I tuck my arms under my chest and meet his eyes.
“Thank you…for sharing that with me.” I whisper.
He reaches out and tucks my hair behind my ear. “I promise I’ll explain everything when you’re ready, but for now, just know…my vampire side trusts you. He feels something and I think I agree.”
“What does he feel?” I ask.
“Honor.” He replies.
The corner of my lip ticks up as my eyes grow heavy. “Good night…Adam.”
“Good night, Astrid.”
The few hours I did sleep, were haunted by Adam’s thoughts. Seeing him fight the beast multiple times in multiple ways, kept my mind occupied for most of my rest.
I hope Adam was telling me the truth. Even if we don’t end as a pair bond, I hope he shares more. I’m feeling like this story isn’t over and never will be.
