Regardless of my lack of recollections of our time together, and our incessant quarrelling since we reunited, I could somewhat tell how much Dane cares for me. it was in the way he looks at me even when he is angry with me it was still there in the depth of his eyes. So then I knew if the food was left untouched, he would be back. I refused to eat the food he asked the maids to bring up to the room and turned them back as soon as they brought it. Yes, I was hungry, but would have preferred very much if he had stayed to eat with me. Hoping I was right in my deduction, I stood by the window and waited. Soon enough, I heard his angry huff and I could hear him coming up the stairs. My heart skipped a beat and thudded rapidly as the door was pushed open. I felt his presence to my very core. It was surreal. I closed my eyes and inhaled his manly scent. And for some reason tears filled my eyes. I could only imagine how intense whatever we might have shared must have been and I wished to rem
He reached for the neckline of my dress with one hand and tore it off of me. "Oh lord," I whispered at the violent passion in his exotic eyes. Running urgent hands over my body, his massive chest heaved. His breathing was loud and laboured. He slowly lowered to his knees and placed me on the bed, smoothing my hair away from my face as he gazed longingly into my eyes with a dark hungry gaze. "For all the years you were there on earth, I stayed away from you to keep you safe. I had to think about you… I had to put you first. " "And all those years I burn for you, Dane!" I cried, knowing he was doing it again, trying to talk himself into not touching me. "Saraya… I don't want to lose you again damn it!" he growled. "You will not lose me. You said it yourself. It is happening differently this time, Dane. Please make me yours!" "Saraya… " he growled. "You have made me wait for you all this time. Take me now, Dane!!" I urged in tears. "You think that I am mad at you now. If
I felt a tad bad when Dane made the kitchen maids bring back our food. They set the bowls and plates on the side corner of the room on a Persian rug surrounded by low-height bean bags. The setting reminded me of the Arabian princes' camping set-up in movies. It was cosy, exotic, and beautiful. Dane had gone inside the bathroom to clean up and came back wearing coffee brown striped baggie shorts. I found I loved the colour of him. It was shades darker than his tan skin and seemed to blend quite well with his exotic features. He left his long hair loose and it fell in straight waves down his broad shoulders and to his waist. I swallowed when our eyes met. "Eat," he said simply with a gentle tug at the corners of his lips. "I was waiting for you," I replied. My voice sounded low and sultry. He reached out his left hand in my direction and I rose from the bed to take his hand. My skin tingled as he enclosed my hand in his and interlaced our fingers. I could have sworn he shivered
I woke up to the gentle feel of Dane’s arms around me, we were both on the bed, spooning tightly with his body enclaving mine. A contented feeling filled my very soul. Gone were the lingering doubts of my sanity that I often woke up to. No crazy dreams, no unfilled sexual needs. And when he shifted with his large hands moving to cup my breasts, I breathed through parted lips and my eyes went shut. His thumbs stroked my nipples and I felt him bury his face in the corner of my neck. He caressed my skin with his lips and moaned deep in his throat when I moved and my behind rubbed against his now-hardened cock. I felt him gently part my legs with one knee just as one of his hands moved to press against my lower abdomen. Caressing my stomach with his rough, open palm, he pressed gently, causing me to curve into his arms even more with my ass pushed back, he gently probed my vaginal folds with the broad tip of his cock and slowly began to buck against my skin, and gradually I felt him ent
Just like Dane said Bertulf didn’t leave, standing by our room window, I could see a cloud of smoke somewhere in the woods and immediately suspected it must be him. His tortured eyes replayed in my head and I felt sorry for him. Imagining what he must be going through, banished and cast out of his own kingdom, forced to leave the woman he loved behind and left with no allies. And all that pain was afflicted on him by someone he considered as family. I suppose that must hurt as well. I can not recall any family in my past lives but I could just imagine his plight. If anyone were to try and force me to leave Dane or my children behind, I doubted I would simply accept it too. Wondering what he must have eaten out there in the cold, I turned away from the window, went to get a hooded cloak to wear over my long dress and headed out, hoping not to run into Dane. I doubt he would agree that I venture out on my own to speak with Bertulf. Dane had excused himself after sharing breakfast
I flinched and my heart slammed hard against the wall of my chest, scared that I might burn him but he didn't let go. Then I saw that the fire didn't scorch him. I breathed a sigh of relief. Taking a deep breath, I tried to contain the magical energy swirling inside me, not quite sure how to. Dane reached out to cup my chin. "In wars, there will always be casualties. Bertulf's mate is bait to get to him," he said, gesturing in the other Were's direction. "And I am certain the information he keeps getting was designed for him to get. Bertulf is a loose cannon Vrionis can not afford to just leave, lying about. He knows he has been going about, trying to get allies and has been getting doors shut in his face. Vrionis knows I'm not interested in dominance. I am the Alpha of the Northlands because of you, Saraya. He knows I will not be interested in Bertulf's propositions, cos I'm not just interested. But if Bertulf's informants are correct, and Vrionis indeed wants the Northlands, th
Dane didn't backdown on his decision to have me tucked safely inside the carriage. And although the other men had horses they chose to walk with Dane. I felt a tad left out. Wishing I could be allowed to march with them. The outside was an endless plain of white – the grounds were covered with snow and the powdery substance dusted the tall pine trees in the surrounding dense vegetation. It gave me the feeling of Christmas and reminded me of the movie Narnia. I giggled to myself. Although I didn't walk through a closet to get to this winter wonderland, my mode of switching realms was magical nonetheless. It was strange that I felt quite at home and safe even though my memory was scanty. The memories of my life with Jamie assailed me. Remembering how ordinary and simple it was. And how I had felt strange like something was not just right. I let out a sigh and remembered the night at the alley when I almost got raped. For some reason my mind drifted to the conversation with Dane when h
Getting to the entrance door, he drew back from me to push the two doors open and then let out a groan. "Tabitha! Keanu!" Dane thundered into the dark, shrouded room. "Papa? Papa!" a little, girlish voice called and I just stood there blinking like an idiot wondering what was happening. "It's papa and mama!" another one with a boyish gusto whopped. The expansive room was literally a jungle. A dark, shrouded dense habitation with wild animals roaming about. A large cage was hanging at the right corner of the room with two grown women inside, gagged and tied. The room was a twinning mass of tree roots with the thick potent scent of freshly cut grass sprinkled with fresh rainwater. Two white-coloured wolf pups emerged from a side shrub; one was slightly bigger than the other. I stood transfixed as they both regressed to half human half wolf and then to humans, the bigger one was Keanu. He was taller and had an evidently bigger build than his sister. The room suddenly brightened
