Mory stretched out her neck as she walked down the hall to the office she shared with James. The familiar smell of good Cuban cigars wafted through the distal end of the hall. As she entered the doorway, James looked up from his papers and swatted the smoke away while putting out his cigar in the ashtray. "So, how was the first day?"
Sinking back into the soft tufted leather club chair across from him, Mory stretched her legs out in front of her. The old worn-in material felt like butter against her sore legs. Haldir had put her body to the test in the best kind of way over the two nights they spent together and there wasn’t an inch of her that wasn’t calling out for the comforting heat of his big, rugged hands. "Not too bad. Those kids have a lot to learn, but nothing me and the boys can't handle Chief."
Taking a bottle of whiskey from the drawer of his dark oak desk, James raised his eyebrows to Mory then took out two glasses.
"Stop. Don't see him. Not now." Mory closed her eyes and breathed deeply though her nose as she tried to calm herself. Braced against the wall of her office with her hand, Mory bowed her head and practiced the breathing exercises she learned for James. "In through your nose, out through your mouth."Opening her eyes, Mory's eyes darted around the room and she sighed a breath of relief. "Ok. It's over."As Mory slumped down in her office chair, Percy, the English medic, leaned in the doorway. "We're going to pop over to the pub. You almost done here?"Mory grinned and shook her head. "Nah, you boys go on ahead. I got to get this charting taken care of."Percy slapped his hand on the doorframe then twisted his lips to the side. "Can I ask you something?"Mory glanced up and nodded. "Of course. What's up?"Percy sat down in the club chair and leaned over w
With the smell of disinfectant and James’ stale cigars wrapped around her head like a plastic bag stifling her of all the fresh air that exists, Mory gasped short, shallow breaths as she stumbled through the hall.Stopping at the bathroom door, Mory looked up and down both sides of the hall and bounced quickly as she tried to decide what to do. “You have to go to the bathroom sometime. Just get it over with.”
The soft flannel of Haldir's sheets tickled her knees as Mory crawled across the bed. As Haldir put more wood in the stove, Mory rested her cheek on her arm and watched as the firelight lit up his face. The warm, smoky scent made Mory close her eyes and think back to the days on bonfires with her friends in high school.Pulling the blanket up to her chin, Mory took a deep breath of Haldir and opened her eyes again. "I'm sorry about all that earlier. I told you I'm a whole lot of crazy."
The bright morning sun burned into Mory’s eyes as it reflected off the snow outside the window. “For the love of God. I’m buying you new curtains for this damn place.”Pulling her back against his lap, Haldir rubbed himself into her ass. “Don’t bother, were not staying here any longer anyway. I stayed up most of the night thinking about it, and I’m taking you somewhere beautiful tomorrow.”As she tried her best to shield herself from the blinding light with her pillow, Mor
“One and two and three and four…” counted Percy quickly as the sweat dripped off of him. The smell of alcohol swabs and burned hair wafted through the room and the whooshing sound of the ambu bag kept rhythm with Percy’s grunts as Neville squeezed it and breathed another worthless breath into the dead body. While Mory looked at James and waited for the next command, she shook her head and tried to breathe her way through the sick feeling in her gut. The light around his face glowed an eerie mauve as Mory watched James while he called out the next order. “This is fucking pointless, but let’s try another amp of epi.”
The fresh layer of snow crunched under the treads of his boots as Haldir stepped out of the mist behind the Inn where he first held Morana in his arms barely a week ago. He smiled to himself as he remembered them standing beneath the starry sky and full moon in that very spot and how she shyly turned away from him as his cheek brushed hers. Walking from the back of the wood log building, Haldir glanced over to the hospital. He knew she was probably still elbow deep in whoever the poor soul was she was fighting for right now, but just seeing the place she worked made him feel close to her.
While the people from town gathered outside the horror of a crime scene at the hospital entrance, they gasped in sympathy as a blood soaked Haldir walked outside the automatic doors. They made a path between them as he passed through and offered up their respectful silence to the heartbroken old man.For more than the sum of all their lifetimes, Haldir has been there protecting them from every evil with the gifts the gods gave him. But when it came to his own mate, he was powerless to stop it and the irony of it all was not lost on him.
“Can I leave him a note? He’s probably worried sick.”Michael crossed his arms as he considered Haldir’s simple home. It was clean and warm and a stark difference from the hovel he once resided in the last Michael came to that frigid island. Looking at the empty alcohol bottles that lined the kitchen counter, Michael smirked to himself and shook his head at how little Haldir had changed over the years. “Yes, of course. I’m sure he’ll be in quite a state otherwise. Just tell him to come see me when he is through so I can explain.”
“I sleepwalk, because I lost you…” When the cold, heaviness of eyes upon her crept into Tessa’s chest, her casual stroll slowed to nothing. Quickly glancing over her shoulder, Tessa clutched at her chest as the surge of heat washed all over her body.Licking the tears from her lips, Tessa pushed the rest away with her fingers and called out into the thick woods that lined the
“Good luck, boys.” Watching through the misty the window as the Riders made West for another skirmish, Mory rubbed away the cold, prickly feeling of dread from her arms. Seeing the blue glowing aura of the man jockeying towards danger, the mother in her offered her best wishes. “Be safe, Teddy. Come home soon.” Somehow, Mory thought coming to a land full of immortal creatures
The brilliant flash of the two blades crashing together was like the first rays of sun parting the clouds after a storm. Mory’s eyes shimmered with a new spark of energy, finally finding the weapon that fit her well.
Haldir's rough hand made a path through her sweaty skin as it slid up Mory's back and grabbed the nape of her neck. He loved his wife no matter how he looked at her but seeing her spread out on top of him this way made him feel especially primal and dominant. Leaning over to brace herself against Haldir's thighs, Mory took her time and moved slowly, savoring every inch of him as his cock hit every wall inside her. Rolling her hips aga
“That hurts like a bitch, goddammit.” Mory hissed back in pain as the burn of the medicine Rosemary made her sank in while Haldir dabbed it on gently with a cloth. The smoky smell from the fires that fed the tubs was heavy on the air around them and Mory imagined herself at a posh ski lodge in the mountains on her honeymoon.As he softly blew across her hands, Mory held back her laugh making her round cheeks dance under her amber eyes. Watching a tough guy like Haldir pamper her like he did was an amusing sight, but he seeme
"Well, I best be getting back to the Woods soon before Jacob and Logan send a goddamn search party after my ass." Tessa pulled Mory closer as they walked arm in arm down the hall after breakfast. "I've never been gone overnight without one of them with me before. They're probably climbing the walls by now thinking I ran off with couple of new fellas. They don't trust me as far as they can throw me."Thinking back to the things she saw, Mory chewed on her lip and wrinkled her nose as she glanced at Tessa. She wasn't sure how Tessa was so forgiving of the things that have happened to her, it just seemed out of character from all the
MoryWhile she wiped the dark vapors from her soft golden olive skin as she walked from the black mist, Tessa sauntered in her slow, sultry, hip switching way past the Sentry’s post and wiggled her fingers at him then winked her emerald green eye.
Mory"Riders approaching!" The Sentry announced Teddy and Agamori's arrival as they entered the town gates before the Lord Commander veered off to the stables as Teddy continued on to the castle up the hill. The afternoon sun cast long, eerie shadows on the ground making the whole medieval aura of the new world for her seem that much more mystical and strange.The whol
“Please take me now. I beg you.” Having satisfied his thirst for blood, the immortal Viking laid under the heavens and prayed that the gods from his past life would be kind and wipe him off the face of the Earth. With no answer from the puppet masters above him, Haldir braced his chest against the pain with his hand then pushed himself up with his other. Haldir stood up and claimed his knife from Mitchell’s chest and wiped it off on his expensive designer parka. With the fire inside extinguished, the bitter arctic wind clenched Haldir’s heart and hi
