His groan of approval urged her on. In one forceful movement and some maneuvering she pinned him under her with their lips still locked.
The intensity of their kiss grew as his taste flowed into her.
She heard his growl low in the back of his throat as her eager hands roamed over the hard muscles of his chest and stomach.
She wanted his flesh against hers in a bad way. She wanted her scent to cover his whole body.
Something snapped in her and she ripped apart the shirt he was wearing.
She broke their kiss and stared into his eyes. They were glowing with desire.
She purred as her nails gently raked down his body. She felt goose bumps spread over his body.
He groaned and raised a brow at her dominating manner.
Melody had to admit that with his massive body under her and all the power that he possessed was at her mercy thrilled her to no end.
Her body was electrified with need and she could easily feel his need for her pressed against her core. Through the fabric of his pants she could feel his heat and hardness. He was all male and he wanted her.
She moved, rubbing herself against him. She moaned from the sensations she felt all over her body.
She had to taste him. She bent down so that her tongue could roam over his glowing flesh.
Radien’s whole body seized up when he felt the slickness of Melody’s tongue against his skin.
He felt as if he had got struck by lightning. Every piece of flesh her sinful tongue touched sent shock after shock through him. He was going to jump out of his skin if she didn’t stop her teasing, and outlining the formation of his abs with the tip of her tongue.
She trailed her way back up his body.
He groaned again as she rubbed herself against him again. She was burning for him and all he wanted to do was rip her pants off and slide completely into the wetness of her body.
He was enjoying this dominating side of her. He knew she had it in her and knew that once she tapped into it she would be beautiful. But he didn’t expect her to leave him dumbfounded as she took control over him as if he was a mere human and not one of the most powerful things in existence…and that was one of the sexiest things he had ever seen.
He felt the warm wetness of her tongue leave his body, his eyes closed he could feel her hands as they traveled back over his chest, and up around his neck.
His eyes flew open when she jerked his head.
His eyes fixed on hers and once again he was speechless. This time however it wasn’t from the sensation of her touch but from the bright glow coming from her eyes. They matched his own. Glowing brighter than any star and her body was radiating with heat.
Then she spoke and shocked him still.
“Radien, Trinity Hound of Life and Death, you are mine” she nuzzled the sides of his face, her scent growing stronger with each moment.
Oh s**t…He was too shocked to move. He wasn’t even sure he was breathing. The man in him was paralyzed but the beast in him was more alert than ever.
“And I claim you for all of eternity and anywhere after.” She nuzzled the sides of his face again. She eased back and stared down at him with glowing eyes. Her gaze narrowed. “I will rip apart any who tries to take you from me...” A smile widened across her face and the tip of her K9’s showed from under her lips.
Impossible. His voice echoed in his head. He needed to push her off of him but he couldn’t move. He was having an internal war with himself.
Then a moment later both the beast and the man became fixated on her as her skin began to glow.
She leaned into his ear. “I mean anyone Radien…Even that w***e of a goddess…you are forever mine.” She growled to him.
He wanted to respond but her lips crushed his for a kiss that actually made his toes curl and his eyes roll in the back of his head. He could feel her life force starting to mix with his, he could feel both their needs combined and it blew him away.
Only then did his body respond. His arms came crushing down around her pressing her voluptuous body into his.
His mouth worked hard against hers, searching for and claiming her tongue.
He could feel her untapped powers and had a moment of clarity. He couldn’t take her like this. Not when she wasn’t aware of what she was doing. She had been taken over by the animal in her, a force that she had no control over…yet.
Using what little will power he had left he separated his needing lips away from hers. Their bright glowing gazes locked. In her eyes he didn’t see the woman he had come to care for but rather the side of her that was pure instinct and all animal.
“Mel, my beauty.” He whispered.
“Radien.” She purred as she rubbed her entire body against his.
His entire being called out for her, the beast in him trying its hardest to claw its way out and claim its mate.
If she kept this up he was going to ravage her against his better judgment…He need a distraction and quick.
He tried to move her off of him but only managed to have her change positions so that she was under him with her thick legs locked around his waist.
She moved her hips against him and her heat flowed through him.
She was cooing and purring from him to take her.
He was going to go out of his mind. His hips swiveled with hers and moans escaped both of them.
“Radien.”
Salvation. Both his and Melody’s head turned towards the bedroom door.
Thank you. He locked gazes with his father. Then he looked down at Melody, whose whole body had tensed.
Once again Radien tried to move from her but her legs were still locked around him.
Of course he could have forced her off of him but that would cause a completely new set of problems that he really didn’t feel like dealing with at the moment. Instead he had to reassure her that his father was not a threat.
“My beauty.” He took his hand and turned her gaze from his father and back to him. “It’s ok.” He nuzzled her gently on the sides of her face. Relaxing her a little but still fully aware of the other male in the room.
“He means us no harm.” His hand ran across her cheek, relaxing her even farther. She purred.
Radien continued to calm her and as he did her eyes turned back to their normal color and the glow from her body dimmed slightly
Her legs slowly feel from his waist and he gave her a quick kiss on the lips, and then moved off her and away from the bed.
“What is it?” He asked his father as he straightened himself, somewhat. There was no hiding the bulge in his pants so he didn’t try to hide it.
“We have a situation…meet me in the throne room.” Bion responded. He gave a quick glance to Melody, who was now sitting up in the bed and eyeing him as if she wanted to eat him alive. “Anima will be in shortly to keep her company.” With that he vanished.
“Damn it.” Radien cursed under his breath. He walked around the bed and placed a kiss on his mate’s forehead. “I will be back as soon as I can…. My mother will be here once I leave. Play nice.” He stood from her and vanished from the room.
With Radien out of the room Melody felt herself starting to come back into her body. She didn’t know what had come over her a few minutes ago. All she could remember was the possessive need to stake claim on what she felt was hers…Yup she had been out of her mind…literally.
She took a minute to think about what had come out of her mouth…s**t it didn’t even sound as if she was the one speaking them.
Her body still felt over heated but now chills were spreading down her arms and across the rest of her body. The mark on her shoulder was throbbing but she refused to touch it.
She sat in the middle of the bed trembling. Looking at her shaking hands her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Holy Hell…
Melody bolted from the bed, tripping over her own feet as she gunned it to the bathroom. She flipped the switch on the wall and the ceiling light illuminated the large grey and black marbled room.
She stood over the sink and gaped at her reflection in the mirror. All her coherent thought went out the door as she stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar face that stared back at her.
Her eyes and skin were glowing, throwing off a white light. Her hair was twice its normal length, falling down past her butt. She pushed her hair back behind her ear and turned her head to the side to see that her ears were pointed at the tips.
She turned back to face the mirror. She looked at her mouth where the tips of her teeth were peeking out from under her top lip.
She slowly raised her hand to see if they were as sharp as they looked, but stopped when she caught sight of her hand in the mirror.
“OH MY GOD!!” She held both her hands up to her face in utter shock.
Her fingers looked as if they had grown longer and her nails actually curled like a falcons talons.
She was speechless…She couldn’t believe what was happening to her…
She started to shake all over. She had to grip the ends of the sink so she wouldn’t fall out on the floor…just in case her knees gave out on her and she fainted. When she looked back up in the mirror she almost did faint because now her skin was glowing even brighter and she looked more like an animal.
“Calm down and the change will stop.”
The sound of another woman’s voice in her territory brought back the animal in her. The heat in her body spiked and the room began to glow, radiating with more light.
Whirling around with a nasty snarl she was ready to strike the woman…Until she caught sight of the statueious and exotic woman at the bathroom’s door.
Amusement was dancing in her storm grey eyes.
“I am Anima.” Her voice was commanding and gentle.
“You’re Radien’s mother.” Melody relaxed instantly at the reorganization…How quickly she had forgotten that she was coming.
As she calmed she could feel the heat in her body subsiding and the glow in the room started to dim.
“Yes I am.”
Melody nodded. The woman was a full foot taller than her making her feel extremely small, and for a woman who touched close to 5”10’ that said a lot about Anima’s presence. Melody could easily see the Radien was a perfect combination of his parents. It was obvious that he obtained his father’s physique and stubbornness. But as Melody took the beautiful woman in she could see where he acquired his predatory grace and charm from.
Even though Anima was relaxed and smiled Melody knew the woman could strike with deadly aim. Yet at the same time there was something about her that seemed grounded and understanding.
The two of them locked gazes. Her eyes were beautiful and her hair was long and jet black…Radien’s hair was the same way. His eyes also had the same specks of storm grey on the rare occasions when they weren’t glowing brightly.
“Come.” The simple word was a command, something that was meant to be followed as she walked out of the bathroom.
Melody watched Anima disappear from the doorway. She tried to listen for footsteps, or for the sound of her dress moving against the floor but she only heard silence.
Gathering herself she walked out of the bathroom and back into the bedroom.
Her eyes did a quick scan of the massive room searching for Anima. Not that she had to look very hard, Anima’s demanding presence drew Melody eyes right to her.
She was sitting in a chair in the corner of the room with her legs crossed one on top of the other and her arms resting on the arms of the chair. With her seated like that Melody could see her sitting on a throne with a jeweled crown on her head and hundreds of servants waiting to do whatever she commanded. Her aura screamed queen.
“I am a Queen…” She spoke, clearly this were Radien got his mind reading from. “At one point in time my people had thrived and lived in harmony with each other. Now they are used as nothing else but pets for the gods.”
Even from the distance across the room Melody could see the frown lines on Anima’s face, and hear the distaste in her voice. Clearly there were a lot of old scores to settle.
In the silence that followed the two woman sized each other up, Anima sat determining if the woman before her was fit for her son, while Melody wondered where the hell Radien was.
After a while Anima broke the silence. “I see you and my son have been busy…” She glanced at the bed, the sheets where tossed all kinds of ways on the bed. “That explains why he hasn’t been to see me.”
Melody knew at that moment her face had turned three different shades of red and she had to avert her gaze focusing on the pattern on the marbled floor.
“No need to be embarrassed child.” Anima waved a dismissive hand in the air. She stood from the chair and the dress she wore flowed to the floor. The tube top red dress clung to her curvy body and moved with her every movement, movement that was fluid and graceful as she walked around the room and over to the mantel. Her fingers sliding over the little trinkets that laid on its surface.
“His father had…” She paused, a smile playing on the edge of her lips. Her eyes shined as she continued. “His father has the same effect on me. Every time he looks at me…” She glanced over her shoulder at Melody.
Now it was Anima’s turn to blush as images of her and Bion rushed into her head. She turned her head away to collect herself. She glided back over to the chair and sat down in that same regal pose.
Once she was seated and regained her normal skin color again she turned her attention back to her son’s mate.
The woman was special indeed. Anima could feel the inner power that rested in her. Her power might rival, if not pass those of the most powerful gods. She reminded Anima a lot of herself from some strange reason. Maybe it was because they both seemed to be fighters…and that was something Anima could respect.
Melody felt her palms start to sweat under the measuring gaze of Anima but she refused to let her panic show. She walked around and sat on the edge of the bed that directly faced Anima.
“I wish I could have been there to see him grow from a pup into the man that he is today.” Her tone was filled with regret.
“I barely know my own son…he is a complete stranger to me.” She sighed then took a deep breath. “Do you want to know what happened to me? What those pathetic excuse of gods did to me?”
Melody didn’t know what to say. She had heard her share of storytelling for the day, she wanted to say no but afraid she might offend her-which was the last thing she wanted to do-so instead Meldoy got comfortable and waited for Anima to continue.
“I was the first female of my kind you know…I first Queen of the Hounds…”
