Into The Shadows (The Shadows Trilogy Book 1) Page 8
"I hope so cause I’ve never come so hard, it was like I was giving you everything."
"Me too" I murmur squeezing his hand.
After an hour or so I need to go home so tell him "It's late, and my parents might be worried. And want to ask them about my new powers if they know anything". He agrees and we climb out of bed getting dressed, me back into his clothes black shorts, black tank and putting my sneakers back on and brushing my hair quickly leaving it down. He wears blue jeans, white t-shirt, sneakers and tying his hair in a pony.
Looking at the now famous bed where I lost my virginity, I smile cause I'm so happy, and that's when I see it, a few spots of red on his bedsheets, my virgin blood, and I'm so ashamed. Kyran walks over hugging me saying, “Baby, that’s normal don't be embarrassed around me, especially when I helped with what's on those sheets."
I nod but insist we strip the bed. And put the bedding in the washer so no one else sees and he agrees helping me remove them taking the sheets downstairs and directly into the washing machine while I follow him down.
We receive knowing looks from his family, and I'm mortified by the scene, Kyran on the other hand, is strutting around without a care, oh boys.
"I'm taking Ava home, probably be back later," Kyran tells them winking at me, ground swallow me now, speed walking to the exit and Axel attaches himself back to me moving from where he was still cuddled at Avery's side on the couch waiting for me.
We stroll into my living room where Mom’s and Dad’s heads are buried in paperwork both look up and smile happy to see me.
"Sorry, I didn't call for a while we trained and fell asleep on the mats with Avery".
"Oh, honey we knew you were working hard and where you were." Axel leaves my body and lays down on his rug, hearing voices Addy, Augy and Li come running down the stairs I guess being away for a night for the first time had them worried from the emotions I'm picking up from them. Which reminds me to ask about my powers, I explain that I want to ask about something.
Mom always being the gracious host makes coffee bringing the tray over, Addy asks.
"Whose clothes are those?" Frowning, I check my outfit, I had forgotten I'm wearing Kyran's.
"Mine was dirty and soaked in sweat, and I needed a shower. Had no other clothes so I borrowed his." I say nodding my head towards Kyran and he squeezes my hand. “Can we call Una?” I want her to listen in as well. I ask dad considering him the man of the house, dad tells HES to phone her. When she picks up she takes one scan of my face and me in Kyran's clothes, and I know Una has figured it out but keeping quiet for now, but I can tell she's dying from not asking me all the details.
I hear Kyran's voice in my head asking "How are you feeling?" I lock my eyes on him for a second but turn away blushing. And I hear laughter in my head.
"I'm fine" I answer, and he adds, "A little late to be shy now don't you think, I’ve seen all you got now."
I splutter causing my dad to ask if I'm ok, and I cringe and shiver, oh god, worst question he could have asked right in this moment after Kyran's. I nod at him and drink my coffee.
I explain to them everything about the training session, the mind tasks Avery had me do and how I got strong at it, the empathy and healing powers showing up and they are speechless.
"Three powers and extremely useful ones at that" Dad muses, Mom stays quiet thinking she's clearly on to something. Aaliyah asks more about my telepathy control now, and my brothers are listening to us while playing some game on their ED's.
Mom tells me she wants to take a blood sample send it off for testing to a trusted friend to discover which paranormal genes are the strongest in me. By now as an adult, there will be one dominant and might explain some things, and agree I need to know and if mom trusts this person I do too and seeing no protest by anyone else they must as well.
Addy and Augy must go to bed cause of school in the morning, so now it is just the rest of us, I’ve been wanting to ask for a day or so now, "Tell me about Vampires. I want to know more about them you never see any or at least rarely do, so naturally I'm curious." I ask.
"Yeah been wondering that too," Una chimes in and we all chuckle, she has a tendency to ask a million questions though I admit I ask a lot too but no way near as bad.
Dad says he'll tell us what he knows but first he shifts in his seat getting comfortable and begins speaking.
"Vampires can be made or born, they have heartbeats but beat much slower than humans or MH's. They can eat and drink certain things which vary from vampire to vampire but need blood to thrive and survive. They heal fast like all paranormals and prefer night, but daytime doesn't bother them." I soak all this information in as he continues.
"Born male vampires can get a female human, female descendant and female MH's pregnant making it possible for vampires to be born but after twenty-five when they go through the conversion it becomes rare but possible. A female born vampire can conceive under certain circumstances, a male vampire, male human, male descendant and male MH's can get a female vampire pregnant making it possible but around twenty-five when they go through the conversion the possibility is slim." I'm listening as Dad concludes.
"A male and female vampire can birth babies and are born a vampire but with only some abilities at infancy that vampires acquire and at the age of twenty-five they become full blooded vampires going through the conversion. Females carry kids before and after the transformation to full blood but it is rare afterward causing them to be pregnant before the change to ensure they have children. A made vampire is someone who was once human or MH, and must be bitten and drained of blood by the Sire as they are fed the Sire's blood starting the conversion which lasts from three to seven days during that time the body changes. They become beautifully stunning and features will change like soft pale skin, hair will grow, eye iris will becomes red, the body will become strong, fast, with heightened hearing, sight, and smell. They inherit a power and in some cases multiple powers. Synthetic blood is made for vampires to survive on, but contracts can be drawn between vampires, humans, descendants or MH's to become a Vampire Feeder where they feed them blood and are taken care of in return by the vampires."
We're all so wrapped up in dad's little history lesson learning forward even though I must be the only one who doesn't know any of this that I ask what is probably a dumb question.
"What about Witches, Elementals, and Chimæras?", He gives me a curious look but answers what is known about them, “Witches are females and Warlocks are male, with the heightened abilities along with good health, fast healing, casting Spells and having magic. Elementals are people who can connect to one of the four elements: earth, fire, air, or water. Chimæra is of course, a being with the ability to change shape and form”.
"I got to go, work in the morning, goodnight guys," Una says, and we all say bye to her with Axel barking his goodbye and Una signs off. I yawn, still so tired from the training, that energy bar and probably what Kyran and I did earlier took a lot out of me. But I don't want it to, I wish I was able to kick ass and not need rest after, wanting to be as vigorous and fast like Kyran, Avery and my family but knowing realistically I'm a newbie, kicking ass doesn't happen overnight. I ask my parents telepathically if Kyran can stay the night and taking a minute or so to think it over between them I watch them mentally discussing it. Finally, both agree saying if it were anyone else they would be uncomfortable with it, but he's my mate, and we shouldn't be apart.
Looking at Kyran asking if he heard all that telepathically too, he nods so standing up yawning I tell them.
"I'm going to bed," I tell them, saying goodnight to mom and dad hugging them both and kissing Aaliyah on her cheek goodnight.
"I'll keep Axel for tonight so you have some fun" Li whispers into my ear so only I can hear, and I smile my thanks trying hard not to blush again. Entering into my bedroom with Kyran is somewhat strange but exciting, and I walk into his arms the safest place to be and step back after a few seconds. I go to the bed pulling the c
overs back. Kyran strips to his boxers getting in, and I take off the shorts I'm wearing leaving the tank on nothing else and get in beside him with him wrapping me up tight.
I kiss his lips, what was meant to be a goodnight peck but turned red hot into full-blown passion, and he trails his hand down between my legs spreading them apart and entering two fingers into me moving them slow with his thumb circling my clit. Kyran begins going faster and faster, and he uses his other hand to cover my mouth to stop me from making a sound as I climax all over his fingers. Coming down from my high I reach for his boxers, stopping my descent using his hand Kyran says, "You don't need to do that babe" I'm just smiling at him as I carry on reaching for his underwear.
My hand feels the outline of him through his boxers, I’m rubbing it causing him to growl. I lower my body under the covers pulling down his pants taking him into my hand moving it back and forth slow at first but getting faster. Kyran grabs some sheet in his fists, and I lean in swallowing his spongey head and sucking deep letting it pop back out my mouth I lick down the sides of his enraged hot shaft bringing him back to my lips tasting his salty pre-cum.
I take him as deep as I possibly can moving my head up and down in a slow rhythm, he grabs my hair fisting it, he’s growling, and snarling in excitement, I go quicker and quicker.
"Babe stop, I'm gonna come, you don't want to swallow," he says hoarsely trying to move me off him, but I hold tight and go faster until he shoots the back of my throat with the first ejection of his warm salty seed. Kyran groans "Ah baby fuck," followed by another two shots of come and I swallow it all. Sex is never something I’ve done with anyone but Kyran and foreplay I did, but never really liked giving a blowjob, but now I see why, it matters who you're giving it too.
I Go back up to Kyran who is laying there with a dazed satisfied look on his face.
"Where did you learn that?" He growls asking but quickly says, "No never mind don't tell me, best fucking blowjob ever."
I get an annoyed expression on my face by that last remark. He carefully rolls me on my back landing on top of me saying.
"Baby I wasn't a saint before I met you and neither were you apparently, but it will always be us from now on" and pushes himself inside of me slowly knowing I'll be tender.
He pulls up my tank taking it off over my head throwing the offending garment across the room. Lowering his head he circles and sucks my left nipple while thrusting inside of me. He moves to my right giving it the same attention, and grabs my legs putting them over his shoulders so he could go in deeper, tighter and I cry out in pleasure. He moves his mouth to mine kissing furiously keeping me quiet and fucking me hard, fast and profound.
"Oh baby you’re so tight and warm wrapped around me like a second skin it’s fucking heaven, and you won't come until I say you can." My body begins to shake with the need of release and after a few more minutes of hard thrusting and he’s got my right hand pinned to the bed, holding my left with our fingers entangled above our heads and his mouth is doing some detailed work going from my nipples to my neck and my lips.
"Get ready to come with me baby I'm gonna fill you up so much you'll know who you belong to." At his words my womb clenches and he goes faster.
"You like me talking dirty to you, don't you, who do you belong to?" He demands as he rubs my clit.
"You," I reply sighing my answer in pleasure.
"Who do you belong to?" He repeats.
"You" I moan louder.
"Come now" Kyran demands of me, and I let go shattering, he shouts his own, and I feel his jets of seed filling me up like he promised.
He pulls out awhile later after laying on top, cradling me before going on his side kissing my temple.
"You recovered fast from the blowjob I thought men needed more time before they could go again," I ask curiously, feeling his body shaking I move up on my elbows looking at him.
"Oh, babe I'm not just a man though am I? I am a half animal we don't need recovery I could go again this second" he adds smugly.
Only now something is occurring to me, and I begin to panic. How could I have been so stupid, picking up on my distress Kyran sits up a bit watching me.
"Babe? What's wrong?" He asks, and I should tell him but he’s going to be pissed.
"I'm not on Birth control, and I guess I thought when the time came to start having sex I would get on it. That it would be at least a few months before I would realize if I was ready like my past boyfriends but they dumped me cause I wouldn't put out, so my point is we've had unprotected sex twice now". Noticing that I'm rambling Kyran puts a finger to my lips to quiet me while he talks.
"Don't be sorry, it’s not at all your fault. I'm the more experienced one it was me who should have questioned, but honestly felt I didn't need to. I always wore protection with past women and you’re my first without one. I’m checked every three months, so I'm clean, I know you are, and don't want to use protection with you. I don't want anything between us, it takes paranormals at least around a year to get pregnant from what I've seen, but if you want to go on the pill I understand. I'm happy if we've created a baby and I do want kids in the future soon, three years max".
Kyran obviously realizes he’s the one rambling so now he shuts up and chuckles and I laugh too.
"I want babies with you, and if you say it takes a year roughly for most paranormals, then we'll let nature decide when we conceive a baby. And this is a serious conversation we’re having uh? Wow." I say a little freaked out at first but reassured by his confidence and well, I want to spend my life with him.
"Ok I like that, let fate choose," he muses kissing me and we cuddle as we fall into a restful slumber.
In the morning after having had breakfast and chatting with my family for a while, we're back in the gym at my house standing on the mats, at my insistence we keep training plus with me having today off work but back tomorrow, it’s a full day of training. Kyran couldn't resist knowing it could be up to a week before we get another chance. With each day that passes we feel the danger looming, everyone does but isn't saying, but all are preparing in our private ways.
"Today we're gonna keep it simple with some kicks and punches. We'll start by going through them all and practice till all is perfect, ok? He asks, and I nod so ready to kick some ass.
"First one is an uppercut, as usual I'm playing the attacker. I'm attempting to throw you a right uppercut that is parried by you as I step back with my left foot. I will try to hit you, but my arm motion is redirected by you grabbing my wrist with your blocking right hand. The left hand applies pressure against my elbow upward as the wrist is pulled down and you step forward with the left foot pushing on the elbow and wrist to throw an uppercut".
After we run through that routine once, we start the second one.
"Thrust punch or jab, I will step forward with my left foot and pretend to punch you in the face with my left fist. You again carry the punching step forward with your right foot, and you'll counter attack by punching me in the ribs. You apply a rear choke with your right arm forcing submission or unconsciousness".
Followed by the third.
"Front kick, you carry a right kick by turning your body to the right and stepping back with your right foot. You will grab the foot of my raised leg with both hands, twisting the ankle, breaking it, and forcing attacker backward and down."
Finally the fourth.
"Sidekick. We’re walking towards each other, I attempt a side kick as I pass you, you'll knock the kick aside with your arm, turn and pull me down to my back dropping me on my left knee. You would leave your right knee in place behind me so that I fall on my lower back on the knee, which would no doubt break my back".
Getting into bed at 11:54 pm after a full day’s training with Kyran is awesome. We stopped a few times for breaks going upstairs for dinner when mom called down to us that it was ready. Kyran played with Axel for a good hour bonding together which is good seeing as one is my mate, the other my familiar and Ax came down with us to
the gym for the last few hours of training sitting in the corner watching. Mom, Dad, Addy, August, Aaliyah and even Una who stopped in to say hi came to catch me in action kicking ass for an hour or so.
I fell, hit my knees, screamed in frustration, laughed with joy when the moves came easier and had Dad play Avery's part by sending me fake mental threats. Mom and the rest joined in too with the alerts while I was fighting and was able to fight them off from getting inside my head without needing to close my mind off. It was a busy tiring day and turning on my side in bed with Kyran with his arm around my waist I see Axel on his rug watching me, he sends me a goodnight message and it’s the last thing I remember as I fall fast asleep.
Chapter Eight:
I Love You
* * *
Opening my eyes to knowing I'm in Kyran's arms is the best feeling in the world, and I think I know now what my heart has been whispering to me for the past day, I'm in love with Kyran Lewis. I jump up out of bed scared at this realization that he might not feel the same way we haven't been together that long, and he hasn't said it either.
"What's wrong?" Kyran wonders in a sleepy tone, only now noticing I had been pacing and stopping, I stare at him the said heart bursting with love. I turn heading for the bathroom having to get ready for work I don't have time to spill my guts.
Now he springs from bed turning me around to face him "What’s wrong Ava?" Looking and sounding concerned, I keep my face turned away from his eyes staring down to my bare feet.
"Nothing" I mumble. He lifts my chin keeping our eyes locked, and whatever he sees there he lets out a breath in what could only be a relief but still being scared to confront my feelings like a little girl I turn for the bathroom again, this time, not stopping me.
After my shower, I brush my teeth and comb my hair into a pony. I walk back into my bedroom with a towel on, and Kyran is sitting on the made bed, ready. A man who makes a bed is definitely a keeper, I use my walk-in closet finding a clean, spare uniform, as I have come to see my choice of work clothes, heading back into the room grabbing my red silk underwear I'd been saving for the right guy. I’m nervous about getting dressed in front of him, it seems so personal but sex is more intimate, so what the hell I think, and I let the towel drop, I hear his sharp intake of air while putting my bra and panties on. Kyran's breathing heavily as he’s watching my every move, and I'm sure if I didn't need to leave for work soon he'd have me on my back so fast pushing into me before I could register I was moving.
