I was afraid to look up at him. He'd never let me look inside him now. Never let me touch him again. Damn it. It was my body, my choice. I should get to make the decision on how I lived and died. My resolve hardened. He could take it or leave it, but I was the one in control of my own life. For the first time. Forever. No one else would get to make those decisions for me. Not ever again.I looked up, determination blazing in my eyes. He looked like he wanted to kiss me, vomit, and scream at me. All at once. A giggle escaped me. I slapped a hand over my mouth, eyes wide. His dark blond eyebrows dropped low over his eyes. "What the fuck did you just say?"I repeated it. This time, I said it with strength. I was the master of my own life. I'd heal as many fucking people as I want, and everyone else can just suck it."I'm going to FUCKING kill your parents!" He rocketed to his feet, bed sheets waving in the wind. He stomped around the open space like a lion prowls a zo
Four days later"Fuck, Ki. You've got to stop. I can't handle anymore." I fought not to clench my fists; my head thrown back. My chest was heaving as the muscles in my arms quivered. "Whiner. If you were more flexible, it wouldn't hurt so much now." She pushed my hips down against the floor. "I'll remember that next time. For the love of Gaia, let me up." She sighed heavily. "Fine, but next time we go for at least half an hour." She stepped back, letting me come out of Cobra pose. "You've got to do something. You've gained at least thirty pounds of muscle. You don't keep it stretched out, you're going to be a hunched old man by the age of thirty-five." I collapsed onto the floor. I fucking hurt all over. Turning, I watched her. She slung her towel over her shoulder, using the ends to blot the beginnings of sweat beads from her brow. Her long black hair sat in a mess on top of her head. Her bouncy ass cupped like a lover by her pants. I was fucking jealous of thos
"Shit, shit, shit." I snatched my hand back and covered my mouth to bury my own scream.His body thrashed from the sofa to the floor as whatever had been inside him tried to get out. The sounds coming from his body made my stomach heave. Pops, rips, groans. It was a symphony of pain. I couldn't leave him to deal with this on his own. I'd done this. I would fix it. Ripping my psyche open, I found the place that held my magic. Pushing that spark from my chest into my hands, I settled them against his writhing chest. His body stilled. "Thank Gaia." I let out a heavy breath. "Please let this work." I shoved my magic into him.Forcing it from my own body, I willed it into his. It sank into his chest with a sigh. Just before my vision went black, I thought I heard something.But that couldn't have been right. There were no animals in the house.
That hurt like a son of a bitch. Thankfully that shit was done. I could finally breathe. Where was Kiema? Hopefully I hadn't hurt her when I grabbed her. I'd have to check on her. I stumbled to my hands and knees. How the hell had I ended up on the floor?Shaking my head to clear it, it dawned on me that something wasn't right. I called out, but what came from my mouth wasn't words. What the fuck?"Ransom?" Dr. Atlas called through my brain. "Something just went haywire with the circuitry here on our end. Your implant is going crazy.""What the fuck?" At least I still had a mental voice. "That's what I'm trying to understand, Ransom. Report your situation.""Kiema and I were working on her magic and my healing. Something happened. I just woke up on the floor. When I tried to talk to her, I swear I sounded like a huge cat.""We don't care about your sex games, Ransom. Unless you're going to share some pictures of Kiema," Asher butted in. I snarled. Yup, huge cat
Something was moving around the living room. It sounded huge and kept knocking into everything. The memory of the animalistic sound I'd heard right before passing out smashed into my consciousness. "Shit, shit, shit." I opened my eyes. All I could see was the floor and the far side of the room. Whatever was in here with me was behind me. I got ready to slide across the floor. Only my right side wouldn't move. Turning my head, AKA smashing my face into the floor, let me know that I wouldn't be moving anytime soon. I was stuck. I was stuck and there was a gigantic animal in the house with me. This would be a great time for me to have something other than healing magic. I needed to find Ransom and get the hell out of this cursed cabin.Something touched my foot. Shit, shit, shit. I stilled my breathing, going into a light trance. Maybe if it thought I was dead, it would leave me alone. I could feel its breath on my back. Great gusts of wind that moved the tendrils of h
For the first time since laying eyes on her, I held the beautiful woman in my arms. No grimaces, no winces, no pinched eyes, or taut body. She slept peacefully in my arms, her body soft and pliant. Warm. If I could just get back to my own body, I'd be in heaven. With that thought, pain ripped through my body. But this time, immense pleasure sprinkled through the agony, dulling the edge into something awfully wonderful. I must have woken her, because she was now rigid, and her chest was moving too fast. Her pale gray eyes were wide enough I could see white all around the iris. My body knit itself back together. Bone by bone, muscle by muscle. I felt myself emerging from the hide of the animal I had been. Thank Gaia I'd already been laying on the floor. I still fell the last couple of inches into the softness of Kiema. The loud OOMPH exploded from both of our mouths as I landed. "Ransom?" Her breath tickled my ear. "Yeah.""But...l-l-ion...d-d-dragon...""Yeah.
I started by his side. My chest almost burst with the joy spearing through my body. My gaze focused as I ran my hand lightly up and down his cock. It was a lot softer, almost silky, than what I'd had thought it would be. His powerful thighs moved restlessly on the huge bed. The texture of his skin was so different in different areas: rough, but soft on his legs. Soft as heated silk on his cock. Smooth and firm on his abs. Hard pebbles for his nipples. He was a smorgasbord of textures and tastes. And I intended to learn and memorize every single one. I leaned down, ran my nose up the length of his cock. The natural scent of his body made me clench my thighs together. I stuck my tongue out, following in my nose's wake. "Mm. I like the way you taste," I murmured, more to myself than to him. "Take me in your mouth, Ki. I want to feel your mouth."Turning my head, I looked up at him from under my lashes. His face was stark, his eyes a little wild. I settled myself betwee
"Ransom. Wake the fuck up, man."Someone was going to die for interrupting the best sleep of my life. I rolled over, sliding my arm over the woman cuddled against my side. "What, Atlas?" I growled through our mental connection."Are you back in your human body""Yes. Go away." I pulled Kiema closer to me. The events of the night rolled through my mind like a movie. If I wasn't so fucking happy that she was in my bed, in my arms, I'd be embarrassed about losing it that quickly. I hadn't felt that out of my head since the first time I'd had sex. Even then I felt I had a little more game than I'd had last night with Kiema. I laughed as I remembered her glare as she slapped me. I'd been about to beg her to touch me again. Then, out of nowhere, I get to show her how to please me. The woman was a goddess. No question. A snore interrupted my memories. I laughed mentally. Well, as goddess-like as a human can get, anyways. "Ransom!" Atlas yelled in my head. I got the feelin
