Into The Shadows (The Shadows Trilogy Book 1) Page 7

  I knock us to the ground him landing on top of me with an oomph, and kiss him furiously with want, needing more, needing him to be inside of me. He growls while he’s kissing my neck I shiver and moan he rubs his thumb over my peaked nipple through my tank and starts to move below me but then a throat clears and we spring apart looking hot, flustered and breathing heavily.

  "Well, where do I sign up for this kind of training?" Avery teases us, Kyran growls, she adds,

  "I bet it could be fun," his growling gets louder.

  "Stop teasing him," I say to Avery trying not to smirk in amusement at his expense.

  "You'll be a virgin forever?" he demands in all seriousness, I face her, and we burst out laughing, and realizing he’s being irrational Kyran joins us, and all three of us banter back and forth before getting back to work.

  We run through the technique a few times, and when I start to learn the moves my body flowing a little better, Avery begins invading my mind with fake-alert style threats but really it is her singing.

  "Your singing certainly is a threat," I tell her, and hearing a huff in response followed by louder song as my punishment. On top of listening to that and getting my ass handed to me I have to build a firewall to be installed in my head permanently to protect me automatically, should be a piece of cake I muse half unaesthetic. But with Avery around it’s a good thing, it keeps my boyfriend's sexual attraction and mine to a simmer rather than a boil making it easier on us to concentrate and my moves are coming back faster with more confidence and less thinking about what I'm doing.

  My mind shield is getting harder for Avery to sneak in with the damn singing and my inner self is laughing with thoughts of wanting to kick her and make her quiet, but the mind exercises are fun. Now I'm slowly letting the door around my mind open while my shield takes over, Kyran's and Avery's thoughts come to me but not overwhelming. Avery is mainly thinking how impressed she is with me, and Kyran well he’s trying not to get hard with his sister in the same room and I laugh causing them to watch me closely, and I smirk at Kyran which lets him figure out why and he grins back playfully, making me blush.

  "What’s so funny? Avery asks but looks at her brother then back at me and mutters.

  "Actually, I don’t want to know."

  "Probably for the best" I answer chuckling.

  We go at this for hours, running through more steps. "I'm giving you an energy bar of an old recipe made by a witch a long time ago. Avery and I are going to have one too so we can keep training cause baby you're doing excellent. So I want to stay going at it, the bar will give us eight or so hours we'll call it quits then, and I also have witch remedies to help with aches, is that ok?" I think it through and at first, I groan but honestly I'm enjoying myself and sense I’m stronger than ever in learning to kick some ass, so I nod. Kyran proudly smiles then switches back to business mode.

  "Now let's do the Mini Eri Dori, right lapel hold, as your attacker grabs across to your right lapel and pulls you forward by stepping back with his or her or left foot. You step forward with your right foot and deliver a right uppercut to the chin of your attacker, you then grab the wrist with your left hand from the top. Stepping back with your left foot, add the right hand and turn forcing your attacker to be thrown with the wrist lock". We run through this move for a good while until our movements begin to get sluggish, so we stop for a quick snack and water renewing our energy levels.

  Kyran informs me "Your body is growing stronger making it harder to hurt or even kill you now. Your strength will increase, your hearing, smell, and sight will become exceptional, but going to take some time it isn't going to happen overnight, but I'm proud of you babe you are doing well."

  "I know I feel it, that you're proud" he frowns then thinking over what I just said and realize it is indeed true I can sense his emotions and spin around I pick up on Avery's and Axel's. Avery is happy for her brother and me to have found each other but worried for me with the government and Ax well he's just excited he doesn't have to pretend to be just a dog anymore that he’s a familiar, my familiar.

  "I can feel all your emotions" I exclaim in excitement.

  "Bloody hell she's an empath too," Avery muses in amazement.

  "You've only just been unbounded and now have two powers, and you’re only growing. I'm looking forward to seeing if you get anything else" she adds, clapping her hands tiredly. Kyran walks over to me and whispers in my ear so only I can listen.

  "Now I'm even more proud of you baby, you’re my strong, beautiful girl," he says, kissing me long and slow. I pull away, and he informs me.

  "These steps are a bit easier, so we're gonna do a few more and keep practicing them for a full week before we go on to armed attack strategies" I nod bouncing about with new energy.

  "Kata Ude Dori, single hand hold, Attacker approaches from the right rear and grabs your right arm lifting you to your toes and attempts to take you with him or her. As they walk, you deliver a right kick to the left knee and uses the unbalance position to apply the arm lock to the right arm forcing submission."

  "Ushiro Eri Dori, back collar hold, you're walking forward and your attacker grabs your collar from behind, step's back with his or her left foot and pulls, you turn and block his arm with his or her left hand and deliver a punch to the solar plexus with your right hand using the turning motion, you then apply the arm lock, forcing your attacker's elbow down".

  Eight hours later, bruised, battered, and exhausted but can say these techniques are locked in my brain. We did them till there was blood, way too much sweat, and tears. Kyran was sweet and patient with me but didn't let me get away with messing around. He understands as well as I do we don't have time for it, I think it's just feeling of foreboding.

  We all sleep on the mats, me and Kyran cuddling up together and Avery changes form snuggling up to Axel for warmth and comfort. She's beautiful in her human self but in her wolf she's breathtaking, her pelt is gray and stunning. Avery's wolf is exceptionally big just a little smaller than a Great Dane but thick with muscle and bulk. It's the first time I saw a human turn into a wolf, there was a white light around her when her hands became paws, and there she was standing on all fours. I go over to her but not sure if she recognizes me in wolf form or how it even works, but she speaks in my mind.

  "It's ok I know who you are, our thoughts stay the same in either form so what I know as a human I know in my wolf's, my wolf is always present, she's always there watching, listening so all our information is retained." Avery yawns and I stroke her running my hand through her fur and I rub her ears, she lets out a soft sound of contentment and lays back down with Ax.

  This experience between the three of us was bonding, but it couldn't have worked without trust and teamwork, the last thing I remember is Kyran kissing me and pulling me into his arms and thinking, thank god I'm not working for the next two days.

  Chapter Seven:

  History Lesson

  * * *

  I'm waking up stretching and yawning, as I open my eyes having no idea where I am but a warm comfy body is next to me, and relax when realizing I'm in Kyran's bed. He must have woken up last night and carried me to a much more comfortable sleeping spot than the mats in the gym.

  "Morning babe," Kyran whispers and I smile snuggling my head into his neck.

  "Morning tyrant," I reply, his body shakes with laughter. I point my finger at his chest.

  "What? You are." I huff, he takes the pointing finger and kisses it.

  "But I bet the moves are now locked in your brain, and no door surrounding your mind?" Kyran adds with a cocky smile and checking for the firewall, and true it’s holding.

  "What's the time?" I ask needing to pee but too comfortable and warm to move but the aroma of stale sweat is making me gross and need to shower so no choice I must go.

  "Around seven," he answers.

  "That early? We've only been asleep awhile" I cry, he laughs.

  "No babe. Seven in the evening. We were training for fourtee
n hours, and the energy bar has a coming down draw, kinda makes you crash." "Yeah, no kidding," I mutter.

  I sit up and looking around the room I spot the New York skyline with evening city lights shining out the floor to ceiling window straight ahead. Walls are painted a honey color with black oak flooring and the queen size bed I'm in is to die for, and his room is very simplistic, but there are framed pictures of his family.

  "I need a shower I'm gross."

  "Yeah, you are ripe," he admits sheepishly.

  "I had one when I brought you up about noon after waking up but didn't want to wake you, although I don't think I could have if I even tried. I'll provide you some clothes."

  "Thanks, how come you woke way before I did?" I ask.

  "I'm used to training, so I'm built up plus I'm a half animal we don't sleep for long. You'll increase your strength too" Kyran says, I climb out of bed and check my body for aches and pains, but there's nothing, am refreshed and alive not that I'm complaining, but find it odd, I think while frowning.

  "What's wrong?" he wonders, so I explain to him as he strolls to his dresser for black gym shorts and a black tank for me to wear leaving them on the bed.

  "I'll ask Avery for socks for you," Kyran tells me as he’s standing next to me checking for bruises and aches massaging what should be sore spots but nothing.

  "Incredible," Kyran muses, turning to look at me in awe and disbelief, adding, "What the hell is going on with you, mate?" I'm confused, it must show because he informs me there is nothing not even scratches.

  "Ok I'm still lost" I say.

  "Babe, you must have healed yourself in your sleep meaning you are a healer or someone did at least. But if anyone had been in this room, I would have scented them, plus when I brought you up at noon, you still had the bruises trust me, cause I remember the guilt I felt."

  I take in his words repeating them in my head and say.

  "A healer?"

  "Someone who can heal wounds and illnesses, an exceedingly rare gift. The last healer we knew of was back 2962."

  "Some other explanation has to be present for this," I insist, running my hand over my body turning for the en-suite.

  "Oh yeah? He grabs a pen and stabs himself in his Palm side of his left hand and curses. I run back to his side.

  "What the hell Kyran? If I’m a healer I don't remember how it’s done. I was sleeping!"

  "Take a deep breath and put your hand over the injury think of how you want to heal me, imagine you can witness it knitting back together inside your head." I do as he instructed seeing the flesh knit, pushing the pen out and closing the wound as it does.

  Panic over, I light punch him, giving out to him for doing that.

  "How could you have known a way to help me heal you?" I ask. He smiles checking out his hand.

  "The healer I was talking about was my grandmother Maggie. And she often spoke about this to her son Gabriel. My dad told us stories of her healing people, and I lost both sets of my grandparents in the war with the government when they and Clark Taylor were still capturing paranormals."

  My heart aches for him, never knowing your grandparents must be hard and seeing some lingering sadness in his eyes, I try to take his mind off the memories by informing him, "I saw Avery turn into her wolf last night, and she told me some things about wolves," I tell him.

  "I heard." I'm confused.

  "Wait you did? It was telepathic?"

  "Well she's my sister, so that's one link, and you are my mate, we've got mind speak and will become stronger and clearer after the official mating but it’s there. And once both parties accept, which you haven't yet, it will click into place, our bond is there but isn't activated, and when you're ready we'll sense the change".

  After the sadness is gone from his beautiful green eyes the need to be clean is strong.

  "I'm going for my shower," I say and grab the outfit he left on his bed for me and sprint off. I remove the dry sweat soaked gym workout clothes I still had on and stepped into the heavenly hot water, and I stand there letting it beat down on my face.

  After getting dressed in no underwear, I couldn't stomach putting the sweat soaked ones back on, I comb my hair leaving it down and brush my teeth. I walk back into his bedroom. Kyran is sitting on the bed his eyes lock on me as soon as I enter, when I'm moving closer his pupils dilate with desire. I climb up lying beside him and he immediately wraps me up in his arms pulling me in for a scorching kiss opening up my mouth with his tongue dueling tentatively with mine and his left hand slides up and down my arm.

  My body gets restless and starts to gyrate, involuntary spreading my legs letting him in between them and he’s in sync, gyrating with me. I'm moaning my delight as he growls, and he switches from my lips to my neck kissing it sensually. My nipples pebble under my tank as he rubs a thumb over one causing me to cry out in pleasure.

  "Aww baby you like that?" He questions, and I nod.

  "Please…" I whisper.

  "Please, what?" He demands.

  "Please take me" I beg, growling he stands up and takes off his jeans, t-shirt, and socks.

  "Are you ready babe? Once I'm in, this becomes all for me”, he says touching my pubic area, “and I'll kill anyone who tries to have what's mine" he says with his wolf in his voice. My mate stares into my eyes allowing me to view for the first time the wild nature in him, his eyes glow a soft orange, and the animal is the one looking at me now, if I take him tonight I'll be taking him too. My inner wolf wakes and stretches with homecoming.

  "Yeah I'm sure, but you know I'm a virgin, right? I may have dated but no one I wanted to spend a night with" I respond.

  "Don't worry baby I'll take care of you," he says soothingly. Kyran guides my tank off growling deep in his throat when he eyes find me bare, lowering his mouth to lick my nipple he circles it with his tongue as he sucks hard. My back arches crying out, I grip the back of his head and he moves to the other nipple giving it the same attention before sliding down my body. He grabs both ends of my shorts pulling them down. I lift my bottom up a bit so he can quickly take them off. Kyran jumps up off the bed, and I watch his visibly straining erection and as he removes his boxers it springs free with a small nest of blonde curls surround it.

  My eyes widen at his size in alarm, he laughs, adding "He'll fit", I gulp.

  "You must be ten inches, how is that possible?" I accuse.

  "I'm not all man baby it'll be okay I promise, let me fill you with pleasure." Relaxing at his words cause I trust him, and when we're completely bare, his eyes roams over me with reverence then meeting my eyes he gets back on lowering himself to my bottom half. He lays down with most of him over the edge of the bed, he places a soft kiss at my navel then goes lower till he’s at my entrance flicking over my bundle of nerves. My body arches letting out a loud moan.

  "You're so responsive I love it, what happens when I do this," he wonders then slides his tongue inside me, my mouth opens, but no sound comes out I'm held there trapped in bliss. He uses his thumbs to open my waxed folds and to slide two fingers into me moving slowly as he gradually picks up the pace while his tongues circle my clit. I begin to reach climax and I automatically try to close my legs he uses his body to keep them in place for him.

  "Come for me baby" he demands against my entrance, and I shatter into a million shards moaning his name. I come down from my high as he’s climbing up my body kissing his path to my neck, jaw, eyelids and eventually my lips. Kyran starts to enter me and I'm about to lock up he looks me in the eyes.

  "Focus on me babe I've got you" he whispers.

  Kyran pushes in deeper till he reaches my barrier, he starts kissing me passionately as he slams all the way into me making it fast, quick and not painful, kissing me so hard I couldn't feel anything else but him. Kyran begins to move, he takes my hands into his, tangling our fingers together and lifting them over our heads unto the pillow, as he slows his kisses growling and groaning. I moan quite loudly as he follows me groaning louder, moving faster
fucking me harder. I sense another orgasm coming I begin to spasm around his thick shaft.

  "Ahh fuck baby" he shouts his pleasure.

  "I'm gonna come. I'm gonna come." I chant.

  "Come for me baby I'll be there with you" and like that I do letting go and shattering, with his face buried into my neck as he groans one final time jerking and splashing his warm seed into me. Kyran rolls to the side kissing my shoulder and gets up walking to the bathroom butt naked. I like the view, he turns around at that smiling with a twinkle in his eye and looks me up and down.

  "I like the view too babe". He shouts back, I'm startled there for a second I laugh, this mind reading thing is going to take some getting used too.

  A minute later he walks back with a wet washcloth in hand coming to my side sitting down.

  "Open your legs for me, baby," he instructs softly, confused I question why to which he only answers.

  "Taking care of you." So I open them, and he places the warm washcloth between my legs cleaning me up gently, lovingly, and I'm tender there now but his washing me is helping.

  He puts the cloth on the bedside table after he’s finished with his detailed cleaning and climbs back unto the bed, pulling me into his arms. We don't need to fill the silence we’re both content being here cuddling after sharing the happiest and sexiest experience of my life thus far. After a while, I tell him "That was incredible," he laughs.
