The Thing about Elves Page 4

  “He’s been badly hurt before.” Her eyes pleaded with her husband.

  “Have you seen how she looks at him? She worships the ground he walks on. It’s my hope that he doesn’t shatter her heart.” Bevan scowled at his wife.

  Janice blinked quickly as her eyes misted up. Bevan had the right of things. Angie would be the one needing protecting.

  Chapter 3

  My god, what had I done? Lying in bed, wrapped around the woman he had made gloriously love to for most of the night, Ardan doubted his wisdom. This would be worse than before. This time there had been magic…strong elven magic…whereas last time it had been weak, almost nonexistent. This was different and he knew it. This was something he could never forget. He vaguely remembered thinking that last night as he carried her to his bed.

  Trying to move slightly, he was surprised that Angie moved closer and snuggled to him even more. Pulling back the covers, he decided the least he could do was inspect his prize. Last night he had been too wrapped up in the sex to appreciate her body. He was amazed. Skin like alabaster, he noted and then he marveled that while she was tiny, her limbs appeared long and lean. Luscious globes with mauve aureoles lay across her chest. He would definitely have to pay more attention to those today.

  Reaching down, he gently caressed the curve of one breast, swirling a finger around its peak. As if feeling his adoration, the aureole tightened in response and his hand slipped lower. He breathed in sharply watching her body react to him. His sharp intake of breath threatened to arouse her and he didn’t want that to happen just yet He wanted to admire her for just a little longer.

  Turning her gently away from him, he rolled her completely to her back. The tiny thatch in the v at the top of her legs was trimmed and neat. Her belly had the gentle swell of womanhood, not the flatness that so many women tried to achieve. But his eyes were soon drawn to her face, with the pouty mouth, finely arched brows and high cheekbones. He knew that under those closed eyelids lay the most impressive violet eyes he had ever seen and they were natural. And he was sure he had seen the magic reflected in them last night.

  Slipping his arm under her upper body, he began to gently caress her face. “Angie. Angie, wake up.”

  While he wasn’t sure that this was going to last forever, he’d make damn sure he took advantage of the situation as long as he could.

  * * * *

  The dream was beautiful and she didn’t want to wake up. Ardan held her in his arms and told her that….

  She awoke suddenly. And found that her dream was partially true. Stretching her neck, she was not sure how she was supposed to react. Licking her parched lips, she watched him carefully through slit eyes. The magic had snuck up on them both last night. The feelings had been so intense; she knew she was going to burst at the time. Now she just didn’t know what was going to happen.

  “Hi,” she whispered and blinked slowly.

  “Hello to you too. I hope you don’t mind that I woke you up.” He smiled a dazzling smile then and the tension left the room.

  Smiling back, she answered, “I guess it would depend why.”

  “Well…two reasons…really. One is that we do have to get to the hospital this morning. I know that they are all okay but it would be best if we could look in on them. Second is…”

  “Yes?” She lifted her head in anticipation.

  “This.” Leaning down, he kissed her lips.

  “Ummm. That seems like a good reason,” she murmured and began kissing him back. This time though, she was determined to give back some of what she had received last night.

  Reaching out her small hand, she began to caress his chest. Pulling her fingers back to her own mouth she licked them then gently swirled them around his nipples. She saw the surprise in his eyes as he jerked under her hands. “Didn’t know your nipples were an erogenous zone, did you?”

  “Why…no…I didn’t even think about it.” He rapidly sucked in a breath.

  “I hoped they were.” Moving over him, she lapped out her tongue to caress his flesh, replacing fingers with quick flicks. Slowly, she kissed and licked his whole chest before moving lower.

  “Angie.” His tone was one of warning.

  “I know what I’m doing. Trust me.” She grinned.

  Moving between his legs, she took his semi-rigid member into her hands. Rubbing gently, she soon replaced her hand with her lips. Glimpsing him for the first time, she realized just how large he was. Licking her hand, she took the purple head into her mouth while pumping her hand along the huge shaft. On closer inspection, she was surprised that her body accommodated him at all. But fit he did and she couldn’t wait to have him inside her once again. But this time she would control the pace.

  Rolling her tongue along the underside of his penis, she gently sucked on him while reaching up to pinch his nipple. She was rewarded with a taut groan of pleasure. With her other hand, she caressed his balls and rubbed his anus with gentle fingers. When he made a sound of possible protest, she murmured, “All’s fair.”

  She let her response sink in a moment before continuing her onslaught of his testes and anus while swirling her tongue along his dick. Stopping momentarily, she licked her finger and pressed in to his rectum just the barest fraction. He was almost immediately rock hard. Groaning with pleasure, he rocked back and forth in her mouth and on her hand.

  “Angie,” he breathed, “that feels wonderful.”

  Smiling to herself, she continued to please him, rubbing her tongue across the taut purple head and easing in to his ass fraction by fraction.

  “Bring yourself over me,” he murmured, tugging at her. “We can both get pleasure.”

  Angie slowly lifted herself and positioned herself over him while managing to maintain her hold on him. However, before long it was hard to concentrate on the task at hand. His tongue caressed her top to bottom, while his fingers were doing much the same to her. She felt him push her up with his elbow and she lifted her bottom into the air, allowing him even greater access. She felt the slow invasion of her rectum and pushed her finger even more inside him. Each groaned in pleasure and it brought her senses even closer to the edge.

  Leaning over his body, she slowly took in more and more of his length, until almost all of him was exposed to her oral cavity. Groaning, he arched his body into her slowly in an apparent attempt to not cut off her air. Pushing his fingers deeper, he licked her again and Angie shuddered in response. While she didn’t want him to climax this way, she wanted him as close as possible. Spreading his legs wider with her elbows, she pushed her finger even deeper in his anus and his dick hardened once again in response. Taking him as deep as she could, she rocked and pushed until she heard one continuous moan of pleasure.

  “Angie, turn around.”

  Slowly, she retreated from his crotch and turned to face him. Smiling slyly, she impaled herself on him.

  “Not quite what I had in mind, but it will do for the moment.”

  Leaning over him, she brought her chest into contact with him. Rocking back and forth, she felt him grow even more as she rode him. Concentrating on what she was doing, she slowly sat up and tossed back her head. Gently, rolling her hips in small circles, she sat on him as his penis caressed her inner g-spot.

  “Angie, look at me.”

  She opened passion-filled eyes as her breaths came in quick little pants.

  “I want more today. I told you that I would take you in your ass and I’d like it to be now.”

  She was so filled with passion that she couldn’t deny him or what he wanted. “Alright,” she gasped.

  “There are two ways we could do it.”

  She thought for just a moment. “The easiest would be best the first time between us, don’t you think?”

  “Yes. Now if you’ll move off me.” He gently pushed her up and off him. “I’ll need you to turn around.”

  “Doggy style?”

  “Yes.”

  Swallowing hard, she turned to where she presented herself to
him.

  “I’ll first prepare you to accept me.”

  Gently, he reached around her body and started to finger her clit. Rubbing up and down, he soon had her juices flowing freely into his hand. Pushing two fingers into her wet cunt, he pulled the liquid from her and spread it over her tight anus. Softly, he began to rub it into the rosette that she had presented him. Soon she relaxed and opened to his touch. All the while, he continued to caress her clit bringing her to almost orgasm more than once.

  Soon, her body opened to him and he slid two fingers into her rectum. She quivered in anticipation. The fingers felt good…really good…and she knew that his penis would feel the same. Wiggling her ass back on his hand, she pumped him for all it was worth, bringing herself again to near climax.

  “Why don’t you just do it?” she murmured, moving against his hand.

  “Do you think you’re ready?”

  “I don’t see why not,” she gasped. And pulled herself off his hand. She had felt his penis jump in response to her request.

  “Alright.”

  He lined himself up and pushed against her ass. “You’ll feel some pressure but try to relax. It will be better if you lean into me, so that you control the pace, not me.”

  “Okay.” Angie felt the large head of his penis against her anus. She was amazed at how the wetness still covered her body. Unhurriedly, she pushed herself back while he strained slowly forward. He stopped once he had cleared the ring of muscle at her anal entrance.

  Leaning over her, he began to finger her clit. “I’ll try not to hurt you.”

  “Hurt?” She was bewildered, breathless. “It’s the most amazing feeling.”

  Slowly, he circled her clit, allowing the feeling to build before pressing the issue home. She could feel her muscles and orifice being stretched to pain…almost. Instead, it was slowly being replaced with a deep pleasure building in her very core. The overall pleasure of the experience outweighed any discomfort. Finally, she realized that he had slid himself halfway into her body.

  “Angie, I’m going to move a little. I know you can take all of me. You’re so hot and wet.”

  She shuddered and waited before pushing herself the rest of the way onto him. The feeling was the most amazing thing she had ever felt. She stayed still for a moment, reaching around a hand to caress his shoulders and upper back.

  “Ardan…god…that feels so good.”

  Reaching back, she continued to caress his back and moved to pull his ass even closer. Tenderly, he pulled out and pushed himself back in, all the while caressing her hard nub. The waves built up even quicker than they had before.

  “Angie, open your eyes.” Ardan pulled her up nearly straight, supporting her body with his hands.

  The colors began to swirl around them once again and this time it was easy to tell that each stroke pushed the colors to new heights.

  “Magic, pure magic,” she whispered and reached back to caress his ass once more.

  Soon he pushed her forward on the bed. He continued to fill her and caress her as the miasma of color swirled around them, tighter and tighter. He pushed into her one more time and reached for her hands, spreading them wide, burying himself in her body and in her hair. Thrusting, giving and taking, pushing them both to higher heights as the elven magic grew tighter around them till it burst in an array of color as pleasure filled each in equal measure before they both groaned their final release and collapsed on the bed.

  How long they stayed there, Angie had no idea. She just knew that they needed to get to their daily routine at the hospital.

  “Wow.” She breathed deeply and tried to make some sense of the world around her. This was much, much more than what she had ever planned.

  * * * *

  How she had gotten through the early morning, she couldn’t quite remember. Now being at the hospital, with Tessa throwing suspicious looks her way, made her want to blush. And it had been a long time since she had blushed about anything.

  “Well,” Tessa whispered the moment the men were out of hearing range.

  “Well what?”

  “Don’t look so smug with me. I know what you did and you did it more than once. God, everyone knew…the magic flowed in ways I’ve never seen in this place before…it must have been spectacular.”

  Angie smiled. “It was.”

  “And?”

  “I’m not sure there’s going to be an ‘and’, Tessa. I think we need to see what develops. I mean, I know we’re sexually compatible at least. I just don’t about anything else.”

  “I know you, Angie, girl. And you don’t have sex just to have sex. We’ve both been through that before and didn’t like it at all. There’s more to this…you can’t fool me…young lady.”

  “Listen to you. A mother for a day and you think you’re an expert!”

  “Well, someone has got to be the expert here. You certainly don’t want it to be his mother.”

  Angie blushed again. She never even thought about his family. “You mean his family felt it too?”

  “Honey, every elf in the North Pole within a hundred miles felt it.”

  She swallowed hard and sat in the chair next to Tessa’s bed. “You never told me that everyone could feel it. I just thought…well, heck…I don’t know what I thought.”

  “I most certainly did. I tried to warn you about what happened. About what could happen if you were with an elf. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before Janice wants a little talk with you.” Tessa stared at her best friend.

  All Angie could do was grimace. “Did she do that with you?”

  “Well…kinda…I mean we were asked over to dinner. While we were there, everyone came to meet me. I could tell that she sized me up and asked herself if I was good enough for her son. And then when Aingeal came in commenting about the sexual energy, I nearly died.”

  “Really? So she commented on the sexual energy? They really all can feel it, huh?” Angie laughed, yet all the while dreading the answer.

  “Yes, they all can…unless the elf does a simple shielding technique. I know that Bevan told Jedrick what needed to be done right after that dinner.”

  Angie thought about that for a moment. “Do you think that Ardan knows about it?”

  “I’m not sure. You’d have to ask Ardan about that, Ang.” She sighed and reached over to touch Angie’s hand. “Personally, I would be a little worried about Janice. You’ll need to convince her that you really do care for her son. She’s very protective and with good reason I might add.”

  “Why do you say that?”

  “Think about it, Angie. There are thousands of women in the world out there who would love to go to bed with an elf. Not a one of them would care about the person at all. All they would care about is the feather in their cap. They slept with an elf and it was an amazing experience. And personally, I think that is part of the reason for Ardan’s total dislike of things human.”

  She sat and thought for a few moments. Suddenly, everything was so very clear about Ardan and how he acted. “You think that a human woman hurt him before?”

  “I imagine that someone has…and chances are… it was human. After all, he did do a large part of his schooling in human universities.”

  “That would explain a lot now, wouldn’t it?”

  “I would think so. You know Ardan even tried to warn me away from Jedrick because he didn’t want him to be hurt. And I’m sure that Janice feels the same about all her children.”

  “Do you think she’s asking herself that now?”

  “Asking herself what?” another voice asked from the door.

  Both young women turned eyes toward the voice. There stood the object of their speculation. Janice Locklin. Angie took a deep sigh. Now wasn’t the time to hedge…she never backed down from something she wanted…and Ardan was something she wanted with all her heart.

  “We were talking about Ardan,” Angie replied. “And why he dislikes humans so much.”

  “I would say that wasn’t
an issue last night, don’t you agree?”

  Angie felt her cheeks get pink. While she wasn’t embarrassed for her actions, she was a little self-conscious in front of the man’s mother. “I guess I would have to concur.”

  “And I’m sure that Tessa is telling you that I am very protective of my children.”

  Angie looked down at her hands. “Yes, ma’am.”

  Janice sighed and waved her hand. “Oh, please, that makes me feel ancient. Just call me Janice.”

  “Alright.”

  “Young woman, look at me.”

  Angie raised her eyes and swallowed hard. She didn’t know what to expect but knew she was ready to fight for what she wanted.

  “Actually, in this situation, I think I would rather protect you from Ardan.”

  “What?” Angie and Tessa both stated almost simultaneously.

  “You both heard me.” Janice took off her coat and hung it in the closet. “Ardan isn’t the most loving of men. And I do believe that you are right, Tessa, when you say that you think Ardan was hurt very badly by a human woman.”

  “I’ve heard what Tessa thinks but why do you say that?” Angie questioned.

  “Because when he came home from medical school he was different. Almost hard and definitely more reserved than when he went.”

  “Medical school isn’t easy, Janice.”

  She looked at Angie with a wry look. “For him it was. But the social interaction wasn’t. Ardan was never really a social creature. Which always led me to wonder why he decided on medical school. You have to have some basic social skills in order to be a good doctor.”

  “He is a good doctor,” Angie began, almost defensively. “And I’m not sure it was that easy for him.”

  Janice put up her hand. “Angie, hear me out.”

  “Sure. But I’m not sure you have anything to say that I would agree with at the moment.” Angie folded her arms defensively in front of her.

  “You can have your opinion. But the reality of the matter is that Ardan will never be a great doctor until he loses a little bit of the control that he has on his emotions. Whether they want to admit it or not in the halls of medicine, doctors need to have an emotional base from which to draw on and Ardan is just not as socially adept as some in the emotion area.”
