DRACO'S WRATH: Elemental's MC (book 11) Page 3


  “Why are you out of the room?” Draco asks as he comes to stand over me, I take a deep breath and lean back, looking up at him. He still takes my breath away with his presence. Most of the time, I still don’t believe how someone can be so hot. His every move, his every look is erotic, and then he opens his mouth and the dream is shattered.

  “I didn’t know I was in a prison,” I state as I raise a brow at him.

  “You’re still not well enough to be walking around. I’m taking you back to rest,” he mutters as he leans down to pick me up. That just gets my fire going. I slap his hands away and stand.

  “I’m not a child, Draco, and you’re not listening. I’m fine. Bion has told you, Brielle has told you, and I’m telling you. So lay off. If you take me to that room, I’m going to scream this place down.” He stiffens, but then a grin breaks through his serious expression. Throwing up my hands in defeat, I mutter, “Now why are you grinning like an idiot?”

  “You’re right; you are better, Vixen,” he states just before his lips crash down on mine. Even though I want to fight him, these last couple days, he has been caring, but he hasn’t shown me any passion. He said he didn’t want to hurt me.

  Now that he’s kissing me like I’m his last meal, there is no chance that I’m going to stop this. His fingers are entwined in my hair, holding my head as he devours me. One minute I have my feet on the ground, the next I feel myself floating and realize that Draco is carrying me while his lips are still kissing and nipping, igniting my senses as they move down my neck, his stubble lightly teasing my skin, making it more sensitive than I ever thought possible. I can feel every breath as it flows over me.

  And then he stretches me out on the bed, his fingers on my shirt as he pulls it over my head. My bra is next, and I am exposed to his eyes, my nipples hard with wanting his attention. I can feel his eyes scorching as they travel over my body. I look over his body, his T-shirt stretched over his impressive muscular chest, tapering down to his flat stomach. His jeans are tight over the remarkable bulge that I know can take me to heaven and back.

  He places one of his fingers over my lips, stroking gently, and then it slowly runs down my neck until it reaches my nipple. He moves it around my nipple, making me gasp. My skin is so sensitive that the mere touch of his finger has moisture pooling between my legs. His finger continues to move down over my ribcage and then stomach until it encounters the button of my jeans, and then he unbuttons and pulls down the zip before pulling the jeans over my calves and off. I realize that he pulled my panties off too. My sandals must have slipped off when he laid me down. I am now lying here completely naked as his eyes run over my body. This man can turn me on with a look alone.

  His hands are at his waist. He pulls his T-shirt over his head, his biceps flexing, his tattoos enhancing every sin of his body. I want to stroke my fingers over every inch of his chest, my lips running over his warm body until he’s as out of control as he makes me. He pulls down his low-waisted jeans, his thighs flexing with the movement as his manhood rears up. This man has a body made for sin. Every muscle, every tattoo, calls to a woman.

  He takes hold of my ankles and pulls me towards him. My breath leaves my body in a rush as his hands slide up my calves, my thighs. I am wide open to his view, but his eyes are staring deep into mine, the passion in them igniting a wanting in me that is so much deeper than anything I have ever felt before. And then he starts to lower his body, his hands at my waist holding me still as his lips touch my inner thigh, his stubble rubbing over my skin as he moves closer to my heat. And then I feel his breath before his tongue strokes me. The friction of his tongue over my most sensitive part has me gasping, my breath coming out in short bursts of air.

  “Draco,” I groan as he inserts one of his fingers while still torturing me with his tongue, and then another finger, and I’m lost as he moves his fingers and tongue to his own rhythm. My whole body is alive with wanting. My muscles are starting to tighten in readiness, but he pulls back and smiles. Before I can complain, he turns me around on all fours and plunges deep into me from behind. He doesn’t go slow as he thrusts. One of his hands holds my shoulder, and the other my hip as he takes me to the depths of passion and back. My orgasm takes me higher and higher as I feel him tense, and then he comes deep inside me.

  DRACO 4

  “Is that a smile I see?” Ceric quips as I walk into the training room. I left Katrina resting, as I know I tired her out. We spent most of the day cooped up in the room, but I sure don’t mind the many hours there. That woman has me going like no one ever has. I will show her things she has never experienced before, but I know that she is more than willing to learn and try everything I have to teach her. I pull up my hand and show Ceric the finger, but I continue smiling.

  “It’s about fucking time. You were acting like a grumpy old fuck,” Burkhart mutters. “Oh wait! You are old.” He punches the punching bag once more. The men like to tease me about my age, as I’m the oldest of all of them, but it’s all friendly banter, and they have the deepest respect for me, which I am deeply thankful for.

  “At least I have a reason to be grumpy. What’s your excuse?” He stops his workout and turns towards me. “Oh, I know your woman has noticed you have a small dick and is complaining,” I tease, and his lips kick up in a grin. One thing about us Elementals, we have all been blessed in that department, and no woman will ever be disappointed when it comes to that.

  “I would show you, but I worry that you would get a complex and never get naked again,” Burkhart responds, which has everyone grinning.

  “You better be careful, Burkhart. He might just shoot flames out of his,” Brandr joins in.

  “Just imagine, that would be quite a party trick if he could do that,” Ceric says. “Call him the flaming cock.”

  “Just be careful the cock doesn’t lose his fire and starts twitching as he coughs smoke,” Cassius says playfully as he and Bion continue to spar in the rink.

  “Yeah, yeah, you guys are just—” I am interrupted by the alarm. Everyone tenses. I don’t wait around; I quickly make my way to the computer room to find Celmund locking down the compound. “What the fuck is happening?”

  “Jason reported suspicious activity by the main gate, and I had one of my sensors beeping,” Celmund reports. I know the others have joined us and are all standing behind me, listening to what Celmund is reporting.

  “Have you seen anything?” I ask, and Celmund shakes his head as he looks at his screens to try to see any movement.

  “Cassius, Ceric, Burkhart, and me are going out,” I say as I turn towards the men. “If there is any movement, you know what to do.” With those words, I start making my way towards the garage to get my weapons so I can let us out. Talia and Saskia hurriedly make their way towards us as we exit the computer room.

  “Do you need our help?” Saskia asks as Burkhart reaches for her and kisses her forehead.

  “You can see if there is any danger we can’t see,” I say as I continue on our way. I know that the women will all get together and do their thing and more than likely see more than any camera ever could. We collect our weapons of choice and then move towards the door on the side that will let us out once Celmund unlocks it. The hidden door is so difficult for anyone to find unless they know it’s there.

  Once we’re outside, I point to the east and to Cassius and Burkhart, who don’t wait around and take off in that direction. Ceric and I move to the other side, scouting the area. We also have our coms, so we can contact Cassius and Burkhart as well as Celmund. I can’t feel any change in the surrounding area, so I make my way towards the lake. As soon as I move that way, I can feel the difference in the vibrations coming from the earth.

  “Celmund, check by the lake,” I state as I make my way there, Ceric beside me keeping up to my pace. I can feel the change in energy as I move closer. This is Keres. My anger ignites. Are they thinking of attacking us today?

  “You won’t believe this,” Celmund says. “There are
three of them, and they are just sitting by the lake as if waiting for something.” Is this an ambush? We make our way to them. As soon as we break through the trees, they stand and face us with their hands up in the air.

  “What the fuck are they up to?” Ceric mumbles.

  “We’re not here to fight,” one of them calls.

  “Then why are you here?” I ask.

  “We heard that you can change us back to Elementals and find our mates. We want to be considered for it.”

  Well, I wasn’t expecting that. The question is, are they being truthful or are they scheming?

  “Is it just the three of you?” I ask, trying to feel if there is any more Keres energy coming from anywhere else.

  “Yes,” another one says.

  “So why didn’t you come to the gate?” Ceric asks.

  “We tried, but we were told that if we’re not invited, we’re not allowed in,” one says as he sits down on the rock that he was sitting on before.

  “That’s fine. You give us your phone number, and when we’re ready, we will call you and arrange for you to come meet us,” I say, and the three of them look at each other, and then the one who seems to be their spokesman nods. He calls out a number, which Ceric repeats and I know that Celmund is writing down.

  “Now we will escort you out. Don’t ever decide to come visit again because next time, you won’t be leaving,” I state, which has them tensing in anger, but I don’t care, as they need to understand that I will not allow this. Ceric and I escort them down to the gate. I can feel Burkhart and Cassius close by and know that they are keeping an eye out just in case they decided to ambush us.

  When we get to the gate, the one guy stops and looks back at me. “Are you able to turn us back to what we were? Will I be able to find my mate?” Even though he is sounding arrogant and has a tone of anger in his voice, I can see the hope in his eyes.

  “Yes, we are, and we will try our best to find everyone’s mate,” I reply. He nods before he turns and follows the others out of the gate. We have heard that the Keres have broken up because they don’t have a leader at the moment; therefore, before one of them makes his mark and carries on down the road that Vercin was going, it is time to change as many Keres as possible back to Elementals.

  “Are you tracking their phone?” I ask into the com; I want to make sure they leave.

  “Yep, and they are leaving,” Celmund responds.

  “Keep the compound on lockdown tonight. The four of us will walk the perimeter for another two hours, and then Wulf, Bion, Brandr, and Gunner will take over.” I’m not going to take any chances. If this was a diversion and they are possibly working with the agency, I will not let my guard down for them to be able to attack. The four of us head in different directions, walking the perimeter to make sure we’re not getting any more surprises.

  When our time is up and I’m heading back to the compound, my phone starts to vibrate. Pulling it out of my pocket, I see that it’s Tor. “Hey,” I answer. Tor doesn’t usually phone unless necessary. We are friends, and I trust Tor, so it isn’t necessary for him to keep me updated of what he is doing in his chapter or for me to contact him with orders.

  “Draco, what the fuck? Celmund sent me the details about the pickup.” We won’t talk about the armament on the phone in case somehow someone is listening, but I know that that is what he is speaking about. “That’s a lot of shit for one go,” he mutters.

  “I know, but I need you to do this one.” We transported the big shipment two weeks ago between all the chapters, but this one is bigger than our normal one but not as big as the last one. We usually do it with help from the other chapters at the border, but because of the threat over our heads, I need Tor to take lead on this one.

  “You know I’ve got your back. Just didn’t expect you to want me to lead this one.” Tor is very open about his opinions, but he’s got a good heart even though he hides it behind all the bluster.

  “Thank you, Brother,” I say. “It shouldn’t be a problem.”

  “How’re things going on that side?” he asks now that he has said his piece.

  “It’s okay. We just had a visit from three Keres,” I say, and he grunts in annoyance. “They came to talk, wanted to know if we can help them become Elementals and find their mates.”

  “Are you going to do it?” he asks.

  “It’s the right thing to do,” I say. “Trust me, it’s the last thing I want to do at the moment, but if we can change those fuckers back to Elementals soon, we won’t have a problem.”

  “Who am I supposed to kill, then? Fuck, Draco, you ruin all the fun,” he says, and then disconnects the call. I shake my head and smile at his abruptness; Tor has never been one to worry about politeness. I see Wulf approaching as I make it around the bend and have the compound in sight. He stops and lights a smoke as he waits for me.

  “What do you think?” he asks as I stop before him.

  “With the Keres we can never tell, but I think that at least one of them really wants to change,” I state as I think back to the Keres who spoke to me by the gate.

  “If the others don’t want to change, what do you think they want?” he asks with a scowl.

  “To confirm if what they have been hearing is true,” I say.

  “When do you think the first healing will be done?”

  “Looks like everything is moving along well. I’m thinking in the next three weeks we should have the first bunch of Keres trying out their new accommodations.”

  He nods and then steps around me and makes his way into the trees to start his patrol. I walk into the compound and then straight towards my bedroom but am stopped when I feel Katrina’s energy coming from a different area. Changing direction, I walk towards the kitchen where I feel her presence. When I enter, I hear Nova and Scarlett laughing. I stop and take in the scene before me. Most of the women are here talking and laughing with each other. Before, I would never have thought to appreciate something like this, but now I feel a sense of peace looking at all these women and the happiness they have brought us.

  “One of our very own sex gods,” Gabriela calls out, and all the women turn to look at me. A grin splits Katrina’s face as she sees me, and I feel myself instantly harden. Fuck, just one look from my vixen and I’m like a teenage boy.

  “Sex god, is it?” I quip, and wink at Katrina, which has her cheeks burn with colour. I know she is thinking about the things we shared earlier.

  “Well, now that we’ve boosted your ego enough, how is everything outside?” Aria asks with a grin.

  “I know that what you ladies think about us is actually the truth, so I won’t take offense,” I state with a grin, and they gasp exaggeratedly and then laugh. “And you don’t need to worry. Everything is quiet outside. We are just taking precautions.” This banter between everyone has a real feel of family, something all of us have become even though we come from all different ways of life.

  KATRINA 5

  These last few weeks, it has been hectic trying to get everything organized in time to help the Keres, but today, we are having our first group of Keres, and hopefully it will work. We have been practicing with Cassius. His energy flows through us towards the source we want to help. It is strange how we can feel the difference in energy but it doesn’t harm any of us like the men were worried it would. Today is the first time we will try to heal ten Keres simultaneously. If this works, then we will make quite a good headway with them, and soon, there won’t be that many Keres out there to be a problem.

  We are not healing the Keres at the compound, as we don’t have the facilities for it, so we are all traveling to an underground facility a few miles away that the Elementals own. The men are apprehensive about us all travelling there, but we are all excited, as it’s an outing for us. Bjarni, Gabriela, Brandr, and Aria will be riding with us. Draco and I will each be riding our own bikes. I am so excited to be riding again that I have been pacing for the last ten minutes while we wait for Brandr and Aria to ma
ke it to the garage.

  In half an hour or so, another three couples will leave here and make their way there, and then the last four couples half an hour after them. The men wanted to make sure that we were not all on the road at the same time just in case we were attacked.

  “Sorry we’re late,” Aria calls as she walks in. “It took a while to get Sky settled.” Sara is Alaia’s sister and a godsend when it comes to situations like this, as she usually stays with the children while the women are busy.

  I feel Draco’s hand behind my back. Looking up, I see him looking at me. “Are you ready, vixen?” he asks, a frown adorning his forehead.

  I place my hand on his chest and smile before I lift myself onto my tiptoes and kiss his lips. “Try to hold me back,” I whisper before I step back and walk towards my bike. Taking my black helmet from the seat, I put it on and then mount my bike and switch it on. The familiar roar of the bike has me smiling. I look to my left and see that Draco is ready and is looking around to make sure everyone else is ready. When he looks at me, I wink, and he shakes his head and grins.

  He revs his bike and then takes off. I follow with Brandr and then Bjarni following. Aria and Gabriela sitting pillion as they hold on to their men. Some of the women have shown interest in learning how to ride, which makes me happy. It is great to be a pillion and sit up close to your man, but to have control of a machine like I do is a feeling all on its own.

  We are leaving in the early hours of the morning; the sun is just rising. The familiar rush of adrenaline races through my veins as I fly through the quiet roads, Draco just ahead, the others following close behind. Twenty minutes later, we stop at a boomed area where three prospects are patrolling. As they see Draco, they lift the boom, and then a couple metres ahead, a gate slides open to let us in.

  It looks like every precaution has been taken. This could be a jail by all the security I see. We ride up to a closed gate. A few minutes later, it opens, and we ride into a garage. The gate closes behind us as we switch off our bikes.
