I told her, “I love you so damn much, Melanie.” She moaned, “Xander.” I rocked us back and forth. Oden snickered, “You forgot that these waters have amorous properties.” I hadn’t forgotten, it just hadn’t mattered before.
Melanie began panting and pulled on my hair gently. I popped us to one of the places for royals. I conjured a bed then gently tossed her on it. I flipped her around and spanked Melanie. She gasped, “Harder.” I chuckled, “I could conjure a paddle.”
Melanie nodded, “Please... do… It kind of sounds fun… if you’re like into that.” I said, “We can find out together.” My mate hummed, “Statistically speaking… you will be….so…” I laughed, “I think we need to chat about these studies you read.” She flushed bright red.
I smirked as I conjured a paddle and lightly spanked her. I conjured a ring vibrator and gently ran it over her clit. Melanie gripped the bed, so I kept that up until she came. She turned and pulled me down on top of her. I chuckled and we tumbled around fighting for who would be on top.
Eventually I was so high strung I couldn’t take it. I pinned my mate and slid back inside her. Her nails raked down my back. I growled and felt the Earth calling out to me as my Earth powers unlocked to their full power. I smirked and let it go. Mentally I said, “You’re welcome, Faerie.”
I wasn’t prepared for Melanie to react so intensely. She wasn’t in heat, but she was insatiable. The only reason I knew she wasn’t in heat because Oden assured me, she’d smell different if she was. He’d said Freya agreed with him too. We didn’t fall apart even after I popped us back to my place.
We just went from room to room having sex. It wasn’t until four in the morning that we finally calmed down. I snorted, “I think I’ll have to keep my ass in the gym for your heat.” Melanie snickered, “Maybe. Was that your Earth or Sky power releasing?”
I raised an eyebrow answering, “It was my Earth power. How did you know that?” Melanie blushed admitting, “I read a lot about Fairies in Red Run.” I kissed her whispering, “I love you.” Melanie touched my face replying, “I’ve always loved you Xander.” Her eyes fluttered shut. I kissed her forehead and sent EJ a quick text telling him where we were even though my brother probably figured it out.
When I woke up, I heard Aunt Lucinda chatting away with Melanie. I snapped myself some clothes and walked out. Uncle Aiden greeted me in a suit. He snapped me into one with a red tie. He smirked at the look on my face.
He told me, “Your mate is in a fancy dress. These chocolate muffins are phenomenal, by the way. There’s a brunch in your honor. Let’s go.” My Uncle popped me to Melanie and Aunt Lucinda. I gasped, “Melanie, you look breathtaking.” My mate flushed, “You know… everything here is formal. Your Aunt was gracious enough to snap me clothes.”
Melanie was in a red mermaid style red fitted dress with sleeves. The front of the middle was missing material everywhere but where her breasts were. When she turned, I was a little surprised to see there was material on her back. Still, I saw part of her I wanted to.
We popped into the brunch together. People cheered at our arrival, and I saw several glowing women. Aunt Lucinda sighed, “If only I’d been here. You pop to see your niece and miss magic being released.” I laughed, “Which one?”
Lucinda smiled answering, “Lila. I was working with her on her Fairy powers. She’s got a lot of talent in the Sky area and Fire of course.” I replied, “Of course she does.” Lila was my Uncle Arion’s daughter. She’d focused on her Witchcraft and Fire side. She’d just started training with her Sky and Earth sides.
My Uncle must have asked someone in my family what drink Melanie liked because the champagne had cranberry juice splashed in it. Melanie had a few while people thanked her for pleasing me so well I released magic. My mate was practically the color of her dress as she downed champagne.
Uncle Aiden chuckled, “I like her, Alexander.” I replied, “That’s good since I love her.” My Uncle smiled saying, “We know. You broke a few hearts around here when we figured out it was you. So many females want you here as a lover.”
I snorted, “As long as they don’t tell my mate that we should be ok. They probably would not like the response that would elicit.” I looked around and realized I didn’t see my mate. I asked, “Where did Mel go?” I heard a fist connect with flesh.
I snorted, “Never mind. I can find her.” Oden said, “We could’ve found her by her scent before the punch.” I knew that. I followed the sound and found a Fairy female on the ground. Oden snorted, “That Fairy is unconscious.” I could see that.
I bit my lip asking, “Mel?” She grabbed me by the suit jacket and slammed her lips onto mine. I wrapped my arms around her and leaned into the kiss. My Uncle laughed, “Well, now the heat is rising in the room for sure. I am terribly sorry about whatever Delsea said to you, Melanie.”
Melanie pulled back to say, “She’s all straightened out now. Don’t worry about it, King Aiden.” Uncle Aiden rolled his eyes, “I told you before, call me Aiden.” She smiled, “Ok, Aiden.” He said, “One day we should chat about information I get on threats to Alexander. Some were near your dancing competition back in the day.”
She squeaked, “Huh? What? Weird… that’s… interesting… I don’t know why we would talk about that… it’s umm… none of my business?” I nearly smacked my own head. Farrin said, “Wow, I have never not been jealous of someone with the ability to lie until now. Thank you, Duchess Melanie.”
My mate made a face muttering, “You’re welcome? I guess… well… no… just, you’re welcome Farrin.” Several people turned to her. Farrin asked, “You know me?” Melanie replied, “Uhh people know you that’s… a thing… that people know.” I chuckled and changed the subject. We stayed for a little bit longer before we popped home.
Drake gasped, “Ladybug, you look beautiful.” Melanie flushed, “Thanks, dad.” He hugged her whispering, “Your mom and I are going to spend the night in Red Run since Jase’s mating ceremony is tomorrow.” Melanie nodded, gave him and her mom a quick hug, then ran upstairs.
I laughed and popped to our room. She was already on the phone with Addison making sure everything was all ready to go. I kissed my mate then popped to EJ. We handled a few disputes. EJ snorted, “I heard you started a short lived concupiscence for the mated females in Faerie.” I wiggled my eyebrows, “Did we ever.” I winked at him and took off to find Melanie.
I found her already asleep and looked at my watch. Oden snorted, “Mate didn’t sleep last night.” I jumped into the shower before crawling into bed with her. I pulled her to me and answered a few emails when Jason called me.
I popped outside before I answered, “Jase.” Jason said, “Hey man you guys are coming tomorrow, right?” I snorted, “Of course. I’m standing up there with you, remember?” Jason admitted, “I meant Ladybug.” I said, “I have no reason to believe she’s not coming.” Jason sighed in relief, “Ok. I’ll see you both tomorrow then.” I laughed and hung up.
I popped back to bed and went to sleep. I woke up the aroma of bacon. It had to be a lot to reach me. I jumped up and popped outside for our family run. It was one for the record books since we'd completed it so fast.
Fowler linked me, “We are buried in food in the pack house. It’s like a challenge. Everyone in the pack could eat some and get seconds, man. Probably thirds. What’s up with the Muffin Luna? By the way, I’m hoarding the chocolate muffins because she made so many.” I replied, “I’d imagine she’s nervous.”
I walked into the kitchen. My dad linked, “Ok, this is intense. You need to get her out of here before the planet runs out of food.” I grabbed Melanie around the waist teasing, “I think that’s enough food.” Gage linked, “Enough? You are understating things today.”
Melanie handed me a plate, “I made... ok it’s a lot of food. You should eat some... everyone should... god... it’s too much food. I could run some to Yellow Hills... yes... I could do that. Then... well they are a pretty big pack, two packs combined. Thunders Ridge might need food too…” I kissed her and she melted into me.
I pulled back assuring her, “It’s going to be ok.” Melanie buried her head in my chest apologizing, “I’m sorry.” Her broken whisper had me popping her to our room. I pulled back to say, “Melanie McAlister, you have nothing to be sorry for.”
