STORY EXCERPT

Tana turned to Shailyn. “Are you all right with Caerwyn, Alder and Niall escorting you back home?” Queen Tana asked, pointing at each of them as she said their name.

Caerwyn held his breath and he knew by how tense his friends were that they were waiting for her reply with bated breath too.

“I don’t really care,” Shailyn said, glancing at them then away. “I don’t like this place. There’s something wrong here.”

Tana frowned, moved closer to Shailyn and asked, “What do you mean?”

“You can’t feel it?” Shailyn shivered, goosebumps racing over her exposed flesh.

“Feel what?” Caerwyn asked, stepping closer and with the snap of his fingers he created a long sleeved tunic for her and held it out.

She gaped at him. “How did you do that? Where did it come from?” She swallowed, licked her lips then thanked him as she took the garment and pulled it over her head.

Caerwyn was pleased to see that it came down to her knees. It was too big for her but he didn’t care since she was now covered and hopefully warmer. “All Fae can create things from energy,” he said.

“You’re all fairies?” Shailyn asked, shaking her head before she muttered, “I think I’ve entered the twilight zone.”

“We’ll explain everything when we get back to the castle,” Tana said. “I need you to tell me what has you feeling so uneasy.”

“You’ll think I’m crazy,” Shailyn said.

“No we won’t,” Alder stated.

“Alder’s right, Shailyn,” Tana said. “There’s a lot you don’t know yet but I’ll bring you up to speed. Please explain what you’re feeling.”

“I can feel something dark, something evil permeating up through the ground. Whatever it is, is malevolent and makes me feel cold to the bone.”

Tana looked at her mates then said, “We need to leave. Now!”

Caerwyn held his hand out toward Shailyn and after a few seconds, she placed her palm against his. Heat ripped into his body like a bolt of lightning and his half hard dick engorged so quickly he had to swallow back a groan. In that moment he knew without a doubt that Shailyn was his kindred spirit and though he suspected she was Alder’s and Niall’s mate too, he wouldn’t know for sure until they touched her as well. That test would have to wait because right now, they needed to go.

“I need to lift you into my arms so I can fly you back to the palace. Are you okay with that, baby?”

When she gave him a disgruntled frown over his endearment slip, he had to clench his teeth together so he didn’t smile. After a beat or two, she sighed and nodded. Moving closer to her, he released her hand, swept her up into his arms and with a nod at his friends he leapt up into the air, flapping his wings, rising higher and higher until he’d cleared the canopy of trees and flew toward the castle. Alder and Niall moved in close for added protection, then all three of them used their magic to create a bubble of protection around them.

When he heard Shailyn gasp, he glanced down at her, surprised to see her eyes were wide and she glanced at the mostly invisible, blue tinted bubble of energy surrounding her. Her arm tightened around his neck when she glanced down toward the ground and he when he felt her shudder, her held her closer still.

When Caerwyn caught a glimpse of glowing blue runes on one of her arms, he realized that Shailyn Murphy had to be one of King Elfred’s half human, half Fae daughters, which meant she was sister to their fairy queen.

That knowledge had his heart skipping a beat and fear for her safety caused his breathing to escalate. Taking a couple of deep breaths to circumvent the anxiety he’d never experienced before, he tried to clear his mind as tumultuous scenarios circled in his thoughts.

After Queen Tana’s arrival to Faylinn, to the Fae kingdom, one of her mates, Aldric, had informed every single light Fae of the prophecy which had been recorded on a scroll the powerful seer Ruana had written, as well as the words their deceased king had written in his journal. King Elfred had somehow managed to leave Faylinn, impregnate four human women and return without any of them being the wiser.

Caerwyn’s introspection faded when he felt the brush of Shailyn’s fingers against the side of his neck and it took all of his self-control to refrain from slanting his mouth over hers and finding out if she tasted as good as she smelled.

Her smaller sexy body felt so good against his own and for a brief moment he wished he hadn’t given her the tunic to wear so he could feel more of her soft skin under his hands and against him.

“Oh my goodness,” Shailyn breathed out with awe. “This place is so beautiful. It’s like something out of a movie.” She glanced up at him. “Do you all live in the castle?”

“We do,” Niall answered, smiling when she gazed over at him.

“We’re light Fae soldiers,” Alder said. “It’s our job to help protect our queen, everyone living in the palace and our people.”

ADULT EXCERPT

Caerwyn wanted to shout with joy, but he kept his jubilation locked down tight. When she’d started asking questions about them unknowingly having another mate, he’d thought they’d lost her.

However, now that she’d agreed to be their kindred spirit he wasn’t going to let her change her mind.

He stepped toward her, scooped her up into his arms and carried her toward the bedroom. He’d almost swallowed his tongue when he’d seen her gorgeous naked body and his desire for her had him so hot and bothered he’d been worried he was going to come when his dick had pressed against her belly.

Thank fuck he’d managed to control the raging desire so he hadn’t disgraced himself in front of his mate. When she’d started asking questions, the subject had helped cool his ardor until he was back in control even if he hadn’t liked the topic. Nevertheless, after hearing about her life before she came to Faylinn, he understood her uncertainties and her need for clarification.

Shoving his thoughts aside, he lowered her to the bed, climbed up with her, rolled onto his side and rolled her toward him, so that their naked bodies were pressed together from chest to knees and he kissed her again. This time he ravaged her mouth with a hunger he had only ever felt and ever would feel with his mate.

He was aware of Niall and Alder stripping out of their own clothes and felt the mattress dip when they got onto the bed, but he ignored his friends. This was all about their kindred spirit, making sure she was fully aroused, wet and ready for him. After finding out she was a virgin, he felt even more possessive and protective of her, was ecstatic that no other man had or would touch her other than him and his friends.

When she moaned into his mouth and cupped the back of his head as if to keep his lips on hers, he gave her what she wanted, what she needed. He swirled his tongue around hers and rubbed against it. As they continued to kiss, he eased her onto her back, pressed a leg between hers, nudged them wider and then he moved in between her parted thighs.

He growled when the tip of his dick caressed against her wet folds and she gasped. She turned her head, breaking their lip lock and gasped for air. Caerwyn kissed and licked his way down her neck toward her chest and when he reached her left breast, he traced the tip around the outer edge of her ruched areola. She moaned again, sifted her fingers into his hair, and when the tips brushed against the peaks of his ears he groaned and shuddered with pleasure.

“Are the tips of your ears an erogenous zone?” she asked breathlessly.

“Mine are,” he answered before he opened his mouth, drew her hard nipple into his mouth and suckled.

“Oh god,” she cried out, arching her chest up toward him and then she bowed her pelvis against his. She was so wet, when he moved his cock slid through her honey and all he could think about was driving his dick into her balls deep then pounding into her until they were both screaming as they climaxed. Nonetheless, he wouldn’t do any of those things. This was their kindred spirit’s first time making love and he wasn’t going to do anything to hurt her.

Releasing her nipple with a wet pop, he licked and lapped his way down her body, pushing her legs wider and keeping them spread with his shoulders. When she gasped he glanced up her body, saw that Niall and Alder were both lying beside her. Niall was kissing her voraciously and Alder was sucking on one of her tits.

Lowering his gaze to her sexy cunt, Caerwyn splayed his palm over her belly to hold her down, then he bent toward her and licked up through her folds from bottom to top. Her groan was louder and when he glanced up her body he saw that Niall and Alder were both suckling her nipples. Her neck was arched with her head thrown back, her eyes were closed and her face was flushed.

Wanting, needing to taste more of her delectable cream and hear her screaming his name, he closed his eyes and got back to work pleasuring his kindred spirit. He swallowed down her honeyed ambrosia and swiped his tongue over her clit, then lapped back down to her entrance. Stiffening his tongue, he licked into her cunt and groaned. She moaned and bucked her hips up toward his face but he pushed her back down again. Opening his eyes, he quickly closed them again when he saw that Alder was devouring her mouth while rolling one of her nipples between his finger and thumb.

Niall was still sucking on her other breast while smoothing his hand over her naked body.

Knowing he needed to stretch her tight cunt, he licked up over her delicate tissues again and when he reached her clit, he lashed the tip over the distended nub while he gently eased his finger into her pussy. Her inner walls rippled around his digit, gripping him hard and he knew she was going to feel amazing around his dick. His cock pulsed as precum bubbled to and from the top but he ignored his throbbing dick as best as he could.

When his finger was embedded as far as it would go, he slowly withdrew it almost all the way and then he pumped back into her. He stroked into her again and again, gradually increasing the pace until he was thrusting his finger in and out of her rapidly. After a few more pumps, Caerwyn added another finger and when he had them all the way inside of her, he spread them, stretching her tight muscles.

“Caerwyn,” she moaned, tangled her fingers into his hair and tugged.
