Spear of Destiny James Baldwin (free romance novels .TXT) 📖

direction and ran. There was no sign of her, no sound other than the wind through the trees. The scent trail ended at the edge of the mineral lake. For a moment, I thought I’d simply backtracked, until I saw a shadow move between a pair of cedars.

My eyes narrowed. I dropped into a stalking crouch, sticking to the underbrush. Karalti tensed beside one of the concealing trees, searching for me, her nostrils flexing... and let out a startled ‘eek!’ when I bounced out of concealment and took her to ground. She squealed as I covered her body with mine, arching, straining and struggling against me.

“Hector!” Her skin was feverish, spiking with heat as we wrestled. Her lust thrummed through the Bond in growing waves, a feedback loop of primal need that made me snarl and pin her down. She panted, drawing breath open-mouthed as I kicked her legs apart and wedged myself between them. She struggled and thumped her head back, her breasts lifting up against my chest, muscles taut. She fought me with every ounce of energy she had, right until the moment where I roughly thrust inside her.

Her telepathic scream rang through my head and nerves like a lightning strike: a little pleasure, but a lot more pain as she stretched around me for the first time. I froze for a second, barely catching her fist as she swung at me, but I couldn’t stop myself from moving. She was hot and tight and sweet, and even as the sharp tearing pain played along the Bond like a shrill violin, she bucked her hips and pulled me closer.

“I want it!” She buried her face against my neck, crying out on every thrust as the pain of her first time peaked and faded under the potent combination of ecstasy and adrenaline. “I want it, I want it!”

I felt about ten feet tall and five feet long as I grabbed her by the hips and pulled her bodily onto my cock. It was not gentle, it was not sweet – I fucked her like a beast, conscious only of her voice, her breath, her smell, the grip of her cunt. She had never told me, but I knew just by the sensation that she wasn’t built like a human woman down there: her clit was internal, in a hooded pouch about half an inch deep in her body, and every time I backed out and thrust into her, she gasped with growing pleasure. As her orgasm built, so did mine: I knelt up in the ferns, clutching her by the thighs, and closed my eyes as I lost myself in it.

Karalti let out a piercing screech, writhing as she climaxed. I learned something else about her, then: she had exceptional muscular control. Her pelvis contracted like a hand, trapping me inside of her body and squeezing back from tip to base. I shuddered over her, gasping, hips jerking in a sympathetic climax with no actual release. My eyes flickered open and met hers, and the world around us vanished.

The violet color had returned, but her pupils were so huge that her eyes were almost black. They sucked me down, as irresistible as gravity, and she kissed me, biting my lips. We were still fucking, her ankles hooked around my back, her body gripping mine. This time, I led the climax, coming inside of her with a sharp, stifled sound of pleasure. Karalti’s back arched, and she gasped as she experienced the sensation of male pleasure directly for the first time.

“Oh… oh wow…” She breathed. “It’s like… it’s like a push! I felt it push all the way through your body into mine.”

“Just like you pull me into yours.” Panting for breath, I leaned down and licked the sweat from her chest, tracing her collarbone with my tongue. “Did I hurt you?”

“Only briefly.” She mouthed my neck, biting gently as she held me inside her. “I felt something tear.”

I paused for a moment, leaning up to look down at her. “Do you need me to stop?”

“Take me to the water.” She gazed back up at me, languid with pleasure. “Take me into the cave, and do it until we can’t anymore.”

Shivering with exertion, I found an inner reserve of stamina and gathered her up into my arms, picking her up. Karalti looped her arms around my neck, hanging on as I walked back with her to the hot spring. The cave was warm from the steaming waterfalls that trickled over the entry, full of soft moss. I lay her down there on her back, where she caught my face in her hands and tipped it down so I met her eyes, and this time as I looked into them, I saw her – her intelligence, her insight, her passion for food, the instinctive love she felt for children, the warmth she felt for her friends, the pleasure she found in martial arts, her growing spirituality, her desire to learn how to make jewelry… The Bond, as intense and pure as I’d ever felt it.

It was dark by the time we finally pulled apart, bathed in sweat, exhausted, disheveled, and completely and utterly satisfied with our labors. We lay facing each other, our hands and knees touching.

“Wow,” she breathed, after a few minutes had passed. “Human sex is pretty great.”

“Yeah. Yeah, it is.” I swallowed, still trying to catch my breath. “I’m wondering how I’m going to go back to Suri after this.”

“You’ll go back to her because you love her too, and because I only do this once a month.” She smiled at me.

I wheezed a laugh. It was about all I had left in me after five straight hours of fucking. I had several minor debuffs: Hungry, Thirsty, and ‘Miscellaneous Exertion’, which was a pretty classy way of saying ‘Fuxhausted’. “You, uhh… you take care of your own business more than
