Chapter Chapter Fourteen
Mar
If you told me a week ago I would be a doctor in a war between species I would have said ‘you full of shit.’ The only one full of shit now was me. JP and I were working non-stop and he never complained and just watched how I did things. Trust me I was no doctor, but when my own father came and observed us once and just nodded and walked away, I felt better about it.
It wasn’t until six that night that we finished again and we were all at Harpers in the lounge area watching television and covering our mouths from shock. The world had erupted. The president was going to make a statement any minute and we were waiting to see what he was going to say. He better say the right shit, I voted for that asshole.
“Pizza will be here in ten, I got every kind you can think of.” Harper said sliding down beside me and hugging me one handed.
“Awesome,” I said hugging her back.
Mom and Dad just watched our interaction. I had introduced them throughout the day to everyone I knew, but they still watched me. I had no idea what was running through their heads. JP handed me my Pepsi and I took a drink. Ah, caffeine, my favorite friend, I thought smiling.
“Here it comes,” Dad said getting everyone’s attention.
“My fellow Americans this needs to stop. We need to set a precedent for the world of goodness and hope, not hatred and bigotry. I ask, no I beg, all of you to do your part and save this land of ours before it is torn apart. We are all Americans whether we are human, witch, shifter or other. I ask our human brothers to lay down their weapons and let peace reign. This is our chance to show the rest of the world that we are the greatest country in the world, so let’s do that.”
“All of our armed forces and local police will be arresting anyone carrying any form of weapon. Please, I implore you, this must stop and we must work together to make this country a beacon of hope for all others to follow.”
Then the screen went back to the newscaster and we all just kind of stared at it. I mean he said to stop but I was expecting more. I don’t know, maybe my wording would have been too rough, but the whole ‘what the fuck is wrong with you people’ approach might have done more good.
“Relax Mar. He has to talk like that to give people a chance to do the right thing. I am sure the National Guard is already on the job at this point. We just need to keep doing what we are doing.” JP said rubbing my back.
My mother was nodding with his statement but my dad seemed thoughtful. The latest rounds of casualties were all attended to and we had a makeshift hospital set up in the courthouse building, which I was told, wasn’t actually used much.
I was still frustrated and I knew I needed to do something after we ate. I looked at JP and he was looking at me like he was waiting for me to say something. He even had a little smirk on his face. “After dinner, you want to go for a walk?”
“Yes,” is what he said. Just cut and dry and I smiled at that.
“Is that a good idea?” My mom asked bringing all our attention to her. “What, she was almost killed by mercenaries for crying out loud.”
“I think she is safe enough here in town,” Dad said calming her. “Besides, she is going with JP. Between the two of them they are probably strong enough to protect themselves.”
“Tom,” she started in but he cut her off.
“Baby, they are young, and need some alone time. Why don’t we finish dinner and go and call and make sure Carolyn is fine?” He said distracting her with my sister. Oh good job dad.
“That might be a good idea. We haven’t talked to her since right before we left. She must be worried sick about all of us.” Mom said definitely distracted.
We ate mostly in silence after that and when we were done my parents excused themselves to their room leaving me and Harper and JP. We cleaned up and once we were good Harper actually shoved me out the door and JP and I were on our way up town.
“So, crazy couple days huh,” I asked him.
“Yeah,” he said with no fanfare. “Mar can we talk?”
“Oh shit, the can we talk speech.” I said not seeing this one coming. “Go ahead, or do you want a public place so I don’t make a scene, well, I’ll still make a scene, so good luck.”
His lips were on mine and we were still in sight of the inn. His body was hard and strong as he pulled me tight against him and this was the weirdest dumping I had ever had. Finally he broke the kiss, it wasn’t me, I guarantee you.
“This isn’t a dumping. I just needed time alone with you. It just seems like we are always on the go, on high. I want five minutes alone with you in my arms.” He said being really romantic.
I wasn’t as romantic. I was a smart ass and could not be anything other than I was “then get those arms around me as fast as you can.”
He didn’t waste time, which I was very grateful for. His lips were on mine and we were kissing in full view of the world and it felt delicious and deviant. I was kissing him back hungrily and he was responding and then as fast as we started he pulled away.
“We’re not far from the office,” he said with a hungry look.
“We’re not, but we are here right now.” I said smiling. I loved playing with fire.
“Not for you my dear. For you, we will have some privacy no matter how bad you drive me crazy.” He said grabbing my hand and leading me down the road.
I would have minded being led if I wasn’t laughing so hard. My witch was hurrying us along and I wanted to pull him to a stop just to frustrate him, but the truth was, I was in just as much of a hurry as he was.
The door opened. We were inside and when the door was closed his lips were on my neck and I wanted to collapse into his arms. His power was running sensations over my body as his lips began teasing my neck so seductively. I was losing control, and I was a girl who needed control.
I took his magic and turned it back on him making his skin feel the same sizzling sensations that mine was feeling and he moaned and pulled me closer and his tongue left my neck and drove hard into my mouth.
I don’t know how, I really didn’t, we were in his office with the door shut now and we were half undressed. Our tongues were still dancing and how I lost what happened in the last few moments eluded me and excited me all at the same time.
The clasps on my bra gave way and his lips were all of a sudden fastened to a hard nipple that ached from need of his touch. “Ohhh,” I moaned as his lips worked one over as his fingers slid across the other. My legs felt like putty and I held tight to him as he worked me back toward his desk.
Never, never in my life would I have ever thought being taken on a man’s desk would be a turn on for me. But it was and when my back hit the desk with him lying on top of me it was all I could think about. Of course in order to do that we still had clothes to get rid of.
My hands fought free and they were wrapped on his button of his jeans trying to get the damn things unhooked. He wasn’t helping with the way he was attacking my body, but I was determined. Finally he stopped and helped me and in a flash he was standing there naked and he was perfect.
My hands crossed over his chest and down over his stomach and they kept traveling till he was the one that let out the moan. I washed magic for the first time through my fingers and through his manhood and he literally screamed in pleasure because that was not a sound you could fake.
I looked in his eyes and they were hot. He was on fire and he was looking at me in a whole new way. He dropped to his knees and in one motion his hands found the sides of my panties and he stripped them off me and onto the floor somewhere behind me. He raised back up and the fire that was now cascading off of both of us I knew there was no stopping now.
I screamed as he got me back on the desk and drove into me. I hadn’t known it could feel this good. His magic was making my skin sensitive and every thrust of his hips sending me closer and closer. I don’t know how I had the rational thought to move the magic back, but I did, and he screamed along with me till we both screamed so loud we couldn’t think any more.
I think I passed out. Ok, I take that back, I know I passed out. My last thought was being on the desk and having him collapse on top of me in pleasure and now I was huddled in his arms on the floor with his back held straight by the wall he was sitting up against.
He was stroking my hair and I loved every minute of it. When did I turn into such a girlie girl? I went to move and he whispered for me to lie still. His voice was musical and enticing so I did just that. I was usually fire and brimstone, but right now I was putty in his hands.
“You know Mar that I can never let you go now?” He said seriously. “You have shown me what the world can be like and I don’t ever want to lose it. I love you, and I know saying it right after sex is taboo, but I don’t care. I’ve felt like that for the past few days and I need for you to know.”
A tear was in my eye. Whoa, I do not cry, ever. I didn’t cry when I learned I had no magic. I didn’t cry when I had to go to a special school with other kids who couldn’t do magic because humans didn’t want me and magic’s didn’t want me either. I would not cry.
Yet, tears streamed down my face and I couldn’t stop them. Did I love him too? Duh, of course I did. Hell I called him my boyfriend when I thought he was hurt, I knew I loved him. “I love you too. I was beginning to love you the first time I saw you. I continued loving you the first time we fought and the first time we made up. Yes, the first time we say it shouldn’t be after sex, but oh my god, how great was that? I passed out.”
“Mar,” he said pulling me as close as he could, “I love you.”
My sentimental Witch was a big softy. That was ok, I could be hard enough for the both of us. “I love you too.” Then I got up off him and he seemed like I was hurting his feelings, yup, big softie. “I am not going to sit on the floor all night. I have a bed at an inn with my name on it.”
“Oh yeah, sure,” he said rushing to get up. “I’ll walk you back and then head back here I guess.” He said sounding disappointed.
“The fuck you will.” I said jerking him into me. “From this moment on you will not be leaving me sleeping alone.”
His eyes flew open at my statement. “Your parents,” he said like it was taboo.
“Are adults and can realize I am too. You are mine Mr. Worth, and you will be in my bed from now on. Any questions?” I asked letting him know where I stood on this matter.
“Uh, maybe one, should we get dressed first?”
