Fae Street (4 page)

Chapter 8

Richard sat up, suddenly awake from his nap. He never took naps, but as soon as he lay on the couch his body was quickly falling asleep. Being alone in the swamp, he hadn’t been sleeping much and just needed the rest. But the nap was anything but restful. The dream he had was like nothing he had ever experienced. He knew this was no ordinary dream. He remembered it clearly as any memory. He could still feel the way it felt being with Cam—the smell of her hair and the way her body reacted to his touch. Damn dream made him desire her even more than before.

Richard decided he needed a shower, a very cold shower. He could still taste Cam on his tongue and he knew it would be difficult getting her out of his mind, if that were even possible.

He stood in the shower, the cold water blasting him awake. It was horrible, just the way he wanted it. He washed up quickly and got out. He wrapped himself with a towel and left the bathroom to see his grandmother standing there.

“Richard? I think we need to talk.” Richard nodded and followed Liana to the living room and sat next to her. They had only talked briefly about the whole Fae thing. He still had a lot of questions. I know you found your mate; I could sense the dream. Being mated to your grandfather, I had them, too, after I left him. It was horrible. I could hardly stand being away.”

“What is it?”

“Not exactly a dream; almost like a alternative reality of sorts. When you can't be with your mated for a period of time, you have the ability to be with each other in another way. It’s not something you can control.”

“Are you telling me she had this dream reality thing, too?” Richard knew it wasn't an ordinary dream but to realize she was a participant made this whole thing a new level of strange.

“Yes. It was the universe telling you that you belong together. It will eventually stop if you stay away. Do you want to stay away?” Liana asked. She already knew the answer, but knew he needed to hear the question so he could think about what he really wanted.

“Grandma, she belongs with me, and her daughter. I already love her. I don’t know how to explain it, but it just feels right.” Richard talked about Cam with sadness. He worried they would never be able to be together.

“I can tell you love her. Don't worry, my boy. I will fix this. It may take time, but soon she will be with you and I will bounce that grandbaby on my knee.”

Richard couldn't help but laugh. It had been way too long since he had seen his grandmother and he missed her sense of humor. He remembered when she had a house near his childhood home. He would ride his bike over and she would stuff him with cookies before dinner.

Richard noticed it was almost dinner time and a delicious smell wafted in from the kitchen. “Are you making dinner?”

“No. Blake is cooking tonight. He loves to cook and I love to eat.”

“Who is he? Are the two of you…?” Richard made a gesture that didn’t impress his grandmother.

“Richard, I am your grandmother and not a horny teenager.”

“Grandma, you look like you’re thirty years old. I don't expect you to be celibate.”

“The truth is I don't know. He was a bounty hunter lurking outside your house a few months ago. He was looking for Cam, your mate. She was a wanted woman not long ago. Anyway, I had him brought here and he never wanted to leave. And I like the company.”

Blake walked into the living room wearing a pink apron over his clothes and Richard stifled a laugh. Liana scowled at her grandson and he immediately stopped.

“Dinner is ready, Liana. Are you hungry?” Blake asked.

Richard noticed the way the man looked at his grandmother. He didn't trust the mean looking, green haired Fae, but he looked at his grandmother with adoration.

“I'm starving,” Richard replied. He walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table. It was a small eat-in kitchen and the table was set perfectly with the food already waiting to be served.

Liana smiled and sat next to Blake. Blake sat, still wearing a frilly apron. His green hair seemed to sparkle.

“So, Blake,” Richard began with his mouth full of food, “you got the hots for my granny?”

“Very much,” Blake answered, taking Liana's hand. “She is my world, but she has not accepted me yet. She won’t even consider me, but I hope to change her mind.”

Liana smiled back at Blake and then began filing up plates and passing them around. Richard dove right into his food. Spaghetti and garlic bread, with a side of Caesar salad. It had been awhile since Richard had a good solid meal. He mostly hunted in cat form—small birds sometimes an occasional squirrel.

“I appreciate everything you’re doing for me, Grandma. I was starting to think I would be spending the rest of my days alone in the swamp. No offense,” he added.

Blake shrugged his shoulders. “None taken. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. This is my home.”

Richard was silent. He wasn't sure what to make of Blake. Well, at least when it came to his grandmother.

Liana spoke up finally, breaking the silence. “I have made a decision. I will return to the other realm and meet with Lachlan. I hope between the two of us we can get this sorted out.” Then she went back to her food like it was no big deal.

“You can't, Liana. It's too dangerous,” Blake said adamantly.

“Blake, we talked about this already. I need to go alone. I won't be gone very long and I know Lachlan won't let anyone hurt me. He is the father of my only daughter.”

“I should go with you, as back up.”

“Blake, I am not sure what you think about me, but I am capable of taking care of myself.” Liana slammed her fork on the table and stood up and quickly walked away. He head held high and directed one last scowl at Blake.

“She’s pissed,” Richard said with a mouth full of spaghetti.

Richard looked over at Blake. Blake looked shaken and left to chase after Liana.

Chapter 9

Alexa returned home to her small cottage after her encounter with Kieran. They didn't exactly like each other, but the sex was nice. She sat in her window seat and began reading her book but couldn't concentrate. She looked over at her son with contempt. She felt nothing. He was a mistake she wished she could chuck him down the well, but knew she would never get away with it. She only wished she would have aborted him. She thought perhaps in a few years she would be able to stage an accident; a fatal one where her precious son would perish. She couldn't help but laugh in delight at the prospect. Lyle looked up and smiled at Alexa. “What's funny, Mommy?”

“Nothing. Go play and leave me alone.” Alexa walked away, deciding she needed to get away from her annoying son. Sitting in her bedroom alone, Alexa knew something had to be done about Richard. She needed a way to flush him out and she needed to do it fast. She wanted prestige and power and Richard and her bastard son were very much in her way.

The portal in the bedroom activated and Harrison appeared to her. He looked deadly as usual with his fangs and bat wings. “My love, I have some news.”

“I hope, for your sake, you have captured him.”

“I'm sorry, my dear, he is still avoiding capture but I know a way to get him to surrender.”

“You have my attention, my sweet.”

“My informant says before he went on the run he talked about a Fae woman, Cam, and that he had been seen with her often. She must be a good friend; maybe a girlfriend. We snatch her and wait for him to come to us.”

Alexa thought for a moment and smiled. “That isn't a horrible idea. Bring her to my cottage. It's isolated; no one for miles.”

“I will make the arrangements.”

The Fae glass was once again clear and Alexa leaned back onto her bed. Things were finally falling into place.

Chapter 10

Richard watched his grandmother and Blake leave for the other realm. They told him to make himself comfortable, but if they thought he would just sit there and sit on his hands they were crazy. He waited on the dock and found the gator watching him with mistrust. He needed a way to get them to let him leave. He ran to the house and opened the fridge to find some raw chicken marinating for tomorrow's dinner. He rinsed it off and ran out to the dock. “Hey gators, I have a deal for you. Let me pass and you get all this yummy chicken.”

Both gators had their sharp teeth ready to receive the delicious treat. Richard threw a small piece to each gator and got into the boat. They snapped up the chicken, but didn't look happy to see Richard sitting in the boat. They got closer, snapping and grumbling. He held out the rest of the chicken and they stopped snapping but still had their mouths open. “I give you this and you let me go. Deal?”  The gators settled down and nodded. Richard threw the chicken, and as the gators ate he started the motor and left before they changed their minds.

A long boat ride later, Richard stopped the boat near his former hideout and tied it up. He immediately ran toward Gretchen's house and hid in a nearby car left unlocked. He waited and at midnight saw Gretchen and Adrian leave the house. He waited ten minutes, just to make sure, and then entered the house. It was quiet. Cam was probably sleeping but he needed to see her to tell her his feelings just in case he didn't escape the charges.

He entered Cam’s bedroom and quietly approached her bed. Her robe hung on a hook nearby and when she turned in her sleep he noticed she was completely naked. Her body was petite but still curvy and beautiful just like he remembered. He watched the way the moonlight reflected off her perfect breasts.

That is so hot. Thank you cat vision!

“Cam, wake up,” Richard said, trying to rouse her from her sleep. She mumbled and grumbled before slightly opening her eyes.

Richard crouched down near her bed, rubbing her back in an attempt to wake her. Richard was shocked when a hand reached over grabbed his shirt and he felt her soft lips on his. His tongue had unique ridges similar to a car but not scratchy. He tasted her with his tongue and heard her moan. He didn’t ask any questions; he just wanted to be with her for real this time and not just in a dream.

“Cam, are you okay with this? It's me, Richard.”

“I know who you are, and I want you. I’ve waited too long.” He was turned on and could see his glowing eyes reflected in her own pupils. Cam reached up and toughed his face. It was a simple touch that may not seem like much but it meant something to him.

“I would never say no to you,” Richard replied softly. “I have always wanted you.”

He didn't say another word as he quickly stripped out of his clothes, his erection already hard and ready.  He worried about the scruffy beard from too many days in the woods. “I need to shave.”

“No, I like it; it's very sexy.”

Cam kicked off the blankets, revealing her entire nude body. Her skin was so beautiful against the moonlight coming into the room. He appreciated how she wasn’t shy at all about her nudity. He knew she liked to be nude in her room. He learned quickly that if the door was locked she was having some naked time. Richard kissed her lips softly at first then plunged his tongue into her mouth, tasting and exploring her delicious lips. Cam moaned a sound that was like the most beautiful music to his ears. He could listen to her moan all night long. All he wanted was to make her happy and give her pleasure. Cam grabbed the back of his head and massaged as he kissed her. That slight gesture made the experience that much better. Richard could smell her arousal. It filled the air like a sweet bouquet of flowers. He inhaled deeply, wanting to take it all in.

Richard hovered over her with his thick cock rubbing against her bare pussy, aching to be inside her. He ran his fingers along her slit. He could feel how wet she was and it was so hard not to just plunge right in and take her hard and fast.

Cam groaned and grabbed his bicep. She reached between her legs and opened for him, wet and ready. He ran one finger along her silky wet slit. Cam called out his name in surprise before he parted her delicate folds. His fingers gently probed her pussy then plunged inside her. He stroked her G-spot while taking her breast in his mouth, licking and teasing her nipple. He wanted to savor every moment. He knew this may be his one and only time with her. If the Fae ever caught up to him, he knew he would go to prison and never see her again.

“Oh, Cam, I missed you so much,” Richard murmured.

“I missed you, too,” she said, moaning.

He could tell she was holding back tears and it startled him.

“What’s wrong, Cam? Did I do something?”

“No, don’t stop. These are tears of joy. Please make love to me.”

Richard pulled his fingers out and licked them, tasting her. He couldn’t wait any longer. He lowered his head and plunged his tongue into her folds.

***

Cam hissed at the new sensation. His tongue had unique ridges and many women were not prepared for exactly how stimulating the sensation could be.

Richard took her clit in his mouth, and then he licked and gently sucked the sweet bud.

“Oh my fucking god! I'm coming, I'm coming.” Cam's orgasm exploded and claimed her. She moaned, riding it out wave after wave. “Yes, Richard, yes.” Her pussy convulsed while his tongue still worked her. He could feel her heart beat.

Richard put his arms around her while his cock was still hard and aching to be inside her. Cam reached down and took him into her hand and stroked the silky smooth shaft. Richard moaned and wasn't sure how much longer he could take it. She stopped and Richard watched her get on all fours.

“I'm waiting,” Cam said, wiggling her ass in the air.

Richard was on her in no time. He positioned himself behind her, kissing her cute round ass. He made his way between her cheeks. He spread them out and did something most unexpected. He tongued her puckered forbidden entrance.

“Oh oh, yes,” Cam squealed in surprise.

Richard continued licking her and then his fingers found her and he thrust them inside her. As he continued riming her, Cam squirmed and moaned with frustration. She wanted his cock inside her and if he didn't do something soon she might explode.

“Please, Richard. I need you.”

Richard stopped and kissed the back of Cam’s neck. He positioned his cock at her pussy and then thrust inside her in one swift movement. He groaned and concentrated, not wanting to come too quickly. Cam moaned as he thrust his cock into her over and over again. Cam met his thrust, slamming back into him as well. She seemed to like it, so he pounded into her harder. Richard growled and hissed like a cat. He could feel his orgasm approaching. He kissed the back of her neck and bit down, marking her as his. Cam screamed, her orgasm exploding and contracting around his cock. Richard followed seconds later, their orgasm mingling together. He held her in place as his come finally stopped flowing. His warm liquid filling her up felt wonderful and she missed the sensation.
