Lola breezed into the shop, the lingering scent of fresh cookies and books filling her senses making her mouth water. It made her feel warm and fuzzy. It was the smell she associated with Erik. “Erik, are you in?” She called out. The sign on the door had said he was closed. Lola knew he usually didn’t flip the sign to open until after lunch on Sundays.“In here.”Following the delicious aroma Lola walked into the kitchen, she paused when she saw him. Taking in the fact that he had pressed his slacks and he wore a button-up shirt. The sleeves folded up to his elbows, revealing surprisingly muscular arms. She was right, this tea was a date. She was glad she had dressed up and put on some lipstick and mascara. “Good morning, Lola.” He said, glancing up as he picked up the tea set, taking in her floral skirt and pink tank top. The light makeup she had on only added to her beauty. “I thought we could have tea on the back porch since it’s a lovely morning.”“I’ll get the door for you.”
“Yes.” Lola whispered.Erik leaned forward, his lips hovering over hers and she sucked in a breath, his scent filling her sense as she closed her eyes. His lips pressed against hers, gentle but firm and warm. Erik’s thumbs stroked over her wrist as he trailed his hand up her arm. Lola waited for the feelings to move through her. For goosebumps to pop up as he put a hand on the back of her neck, holding her in place as his lips moved against hers and she responded. The other taking the teacup from her hands and placing it on the wicker table. Lola moved closer, twisting her legs to the side as he tried to deepen the kiss. Her lips parted with a sigh as his hand moved to her side. Pulling her closer as his tongue touched against hers.Erik’s thumb brushed against the side of her breast and she felt her nipple harden. Lola gasped at the feeling. It wasn’t the same as it was with the fae men. The kiss with Erik was nice, almost like putting on your favorite sweater. Comforting, soothi
Lola looked down at the address worrying, her lower lip. This was going to be a drive, and she wasn’t looking forward to it. Being trapped in such a small space with Merrow for that time had her nerves on edge.“Are you ready?” Merrow asked as he leaned against the door frame, his eyes drinking her in. Making her shiver at the thought of being alone with him.“Yeah, it looks like I’ll be driving. I think you’ll enjoy it though.” Lola said with a sigh as she leaned over, pulling out her cell phone to type in the address.“Why is that, ghra?” Merrow said as he bit his lower lip, crossing his arms over her chest to keep from going closer and touching her. “We’ll be going in a car and I’ve yet to meet a man that doesn’t love to ride in my jeep.” “I don’t know what that means, but I do look forward to spending time alone with you.” Merrow said, his voice husky as he watched the way her legs moved when she crossed them. Glancing up, Lola looked at him. His eyes glued to her bare legs.
“What is that?” Merrow asked as he walked closer. He looked from Lola back to the strange unmoving brightly colored object.“It’s my jeep.” Lola said pressing the button on the key fob making the lights flash as the doors unlocked. Merrow jump at the sound. “We are expected to ride in there?” Merrow asked as he glanced at Lola.“You can stay home if you’d like.” Lola bit her lip as she glanced up at him, “I could always ask Puca to come with me.”“Nay, he and I agreed already.”“What do you mean?” Lola asked as she opened the door and slid into the jeep.“Just that if the time comes to lay with you, I should take it.” Merrow said as he watched Lola start the massive beast that she called a jeep.“Good to know that I won’t be causing problems between the two of you.” She said before closing the door. Rolling down her window, she smiled at him. “Are you coming?”She watched Merrow study the vehicle before he stepped closer, “How do I get inside?”Lola leaned over to the passenger side
Shifting uncomfortably in her seat, Lola glanced over at Merrow.Her cheeks heating up as she thought about what they had done earlier.How his tongue had darted out, lapping at his fingers afterwards.How his eyes had slipped closed as he savored the taste of her. Making her shiver.She glanced over at him again as he watched the water come into view.“The ocean.” Merrow breathed out before turning bright eyes towards her.“I thought you might like to see it.After I pick up this package, maybe we could have lunch on the beach? Or go for a quick walk?”“Thank you, ghra.” Merrow whispered as he grabbed Lola’s hand in his. Weaving their fingers together. He brought it up to his lips, pressing them softly on the back of her hand.Lola looked back at the road as he stroked his thumb over hers, &ldqu
Hand in hand, Merrow and Lola walked along the beach.Lunch had been fun, if not rushed with Merrow’s excitement to get back to the water. Lola could understand. It was a beautiful day as the sun beat down on them, making sweat trickle down her back even with the cool breeze.She wished she had thought to grab her swimsuit.Or to grab Merrow a pair of swim trunks. It would have saved her a bit of embarrassment.Merrow stopped their casual stroll and looked out towards the water.Pulling his hand from hers.Lola blushed as she watched him toss his shirt into the sand.He had started to undress earlier. She’d stopped him as he unbuttoned his shorts. Much to her disappointment.Granted, by the shops where they had been walking, there weren’t that many people about. But there were still enough to call the police if he had stripped naked and jumped into
“Get out of her things.”Puca chided as he walked into Lola’s room and flopped onto her bed.Bodach was lying sprawled on her bed as he watched Lu. He turned to glare at Puca before looking back towards Lu.Lu, who was currently in her closet looking at the bookshelf above her clothing.His eyes taking in the shiny restraints, he bit his lip. His cheeks flushing a bright crimson stain as he thought about Lola being bound.That was more of Bodach’s thing, he’d never really been interested in tying a partner down.There was plenty of fun to be had without that. Stepping further into the closet, he let out a groan of pain as his toe found the sharp metal edge of a wooden chest.“Gabhdán.” Lu bit out. Hopping on one foot as he brought the injured foot up and rubbed his toe, checking the damage.When he realized he
“Merrow, Merrow.”She softly called his name, he looked up smiling at her.She always looked so beautiful when the sun shone through her hair like that.It looked like white, silken webs.Her face glowed as she smiled down at him, her fingers brushing over his face. “I’ve missed you.”“And I you, deartháir.” She whispered as she pushed his hair away from his face and he moved, pressing his ear against her swollen stomach. Feeling the soft flutters of the life that grew within her.“I just want to hear his heart.”“You can’t though, it’s time to go back now.” The woman said, as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.“I’ll miss you.”“And I you, dearthair.&
FOUR YEARS LATERPushing her hair out of her eyes, Lola let out a huff as Lu rounded the corner. A bright green-eyed toddler clinging to his back. Her copper curls bouncing in the slight breeze as he bounced her around the yard."There’s your mum.”“Mummy,” the girl shouted, she pointed over her father’s shoulder, “Auntie Queen is here.”“Lu, be careful with her.” Lola chided with a small smile as Lu galloped her around the yard. She turned her head, looking over at the Queen.“Your majesty.” She said, dipping her head.“Lola, how many times have I asked you to call me Callie?”“It still feels strange.”“We’re family. You’re sister and I are ruling the courts together.”
Bodach moved through the antique shop, searching for any signs of Lola. He could hear Lu and Merrow doing the same. Their movements didn’t cover up the footsteps he could hear above them. He wondered if it was Lola and what she could be doing here.He was more in tune with his primal side when it came to her. He paused, hearing the whispers of voices as Merrow moved closer to him.“She’s here.” Bodach whispered.Merrow nodded his head, looking up. Lu came out of the kitchen, her purse clutched in his hands.“Aye.”A loud crash pulled their attention upwards. It was quiet after that, and Bodach felt anxiety well up in the pit of his stomach. He moved towards the stairs, Lu and Merrow on his heals as they tried to keep their steps quiet.
“Not a word.” Lu squeaked out as he looked up at the towering forms of Bodach and Merrow.“My coileach is bigger than you.” Bodach said. His hand coming up to his mouth to hold in his laughter. Lu glared up at Merrow, waiting for the other man to say anything about his current size.“He is a wee-thing, but hurry on. Be safe.” He said, motioning the other man towards the building. “Let us in when you’re in.”Rolling his eyes, Lu turned away from the others. It would have been more dramatic if he weren’t so small. He was roughly about six inches tall. Already he’d walked around the building searching for an opening that he could fit through. When he’d found it, he couldn’t help but let out a groan.Knowing that he wasn’t going to hear the end
Bodach strode forward, his feet pounding the hot pavement. It would have gone quicker if he were alone. He didn’t want to risk the others doing something rash without him, though. He didn’t trust them not to. He felt the ache as much as they did for Puca.He didn’t want to believe that the other man was dead. He couldn’t accept it. They’d fought together for so long that a world without Puca seemed so empty.“Bodach, wait.” Lu’s hand on his forearm pulled him from his thoughts.“For what? We’re almost there.”“Can you not feel it?” Lu asked, his eyes sparkling in the sunlight.“Lu is right, it’s the magic of the queen. Same as in the forest.” Merrow said, looking towards the antique shop and th
Lola dropped her hands to her sides, spinning around to face Erik. Watching him as he came into the room, she hoped he couldn’t tell that she had been up to something.“I thought you might be hungry.”He said, moving closer to the cell. He sat the tray on the chair that sat outside of her cage, pulling out a ring of heavy looking keys.“You could always let me out,” Lola said, crossing her arms under her breasts.“To eat, I mean.” She added, not holding her breath.“Now Lola, I don’t think that’s a good idea.”Erik chided as he unlocked the door. Moving to pick up the tray, “What happened to Puca?”Looking down at the floor, Lola didn’t say anything as she pressed her lips together, closing her eyes.“So you killed him?”
Lola crawled off of Puca, grabbing his shirt to cover him up. She didn’t want Callie or Erik to see him like this as he struggled to breathe. She pulled her sundress on, pressing her back against the wall as she wrapped her arms around her legs. Her chest shook as she tried to hold in her sob.She didn’t know if she’d killed Puca, but nothing she had done had helped the man she loved.His breathing was shallow, gurgling with the water that had filled his lungs.Lola didn’t know that his connection with Merrow was the only thing keeping him alive.The door creaked open. Lola couldn’t help the fear that ripped through her. She didn’t want to see Erik to be reminded that this was her fault.Looking up at the woman, she put her hand over her mouth.Trying to hold back a sob she knew wouldn’t help her. The seelie
Merrow gripped the soft, cotton sheets as he let out a low moan. Semen shooting from his cock in great ropes as his eyes shot open.His body responding to a stimulation that wasn’t happening to him, but to his lover.“Dreaming of something good?”Lu asked as he stretched his body out beside the other man, smirking at Merrow’s moan as his body shook.“It’s Puca.” Merrow said, his voice groggy with sleep as he tried to catch his breath.“You dreamed of Puca?” Lu asked, as he moved to lay on his side.Propping up his head on his hand as he watched the other man, a tired smile on his face.“No, I could feel Puca coming and my body was trying to catch up to his.”Merrow said as he grimaced, looking down at the semen that pooled across his lower belly. “I wonder what they’re
Lola rolled her hips, whimpering at the feeling of Puca’s cock as he worked it into her. It was a feeling that border lined on pleasure and pain as his cock stretched his girth wider than she had been prepared for.“Knew you’d feel so good.” Puca said in a growling, rasping tone that reverberated through Lola. His warm breath tickling over the sensitive skin below her ear. “Even better than I had imagined.” He moaned low in the back of his throat as he thrust his cock deeper inside of her. Lola couldn’t help the moaning gasp that escaped her lips.His hands gripped her thighs as he thrust himself full into her, savoring the warmth that enveloped him. Holding himself still as he tried to allow her the chance to adjust to his thick cock.“Are you okay?” Puca panted as he pinned her against the wall. His ha
Puca caught Lola in his arms as Erik pushed her into the cell. Glaring at the unseelie king and seelie queen as the locked clicked shut.“He won’t be a problem much longer.” Erik said as he straightened his shirt, his features returning to normal. Taking a deep breath, he smiled softly at Lola, “Be glad I’m giving you this time. Not many would get it. If you had just agreed with me...” He said, trailing off as he pressed his lips together.“What a pity.” Callie pouted as she eyed the two. “He did have a choice, and he chose to stay with her. She reminds me so much of her mother, that spirit that she has.”“That she does. Why don’t you join me for a drink?” Erik said, turning away from them. Callie took a moment to watch the tender way that Puca held Lola in his arms. She bit her l
