Chapter Ten
In the Mansion of the Goddess in the Realms of the Other
After speaking with the Morrígan and explaining what had happened, Alex stood by Creed’s side as The Crow was whisked away on a cloud of Magic to the prison of the Jury of Others. Needing to ask one last favor of the Goddess of War, but not wanting to ‘wear out her welcome’, the Black Fairy nearly jumped out of her boots when the Morrígan chuckled, “I know you have something you want to ask, but first, Alessandra my dear, let me reiterate that neither I, nor anyone on the Jury of Others, knew that the charges brought against your Mate were false. A great deal of Black Magic was used to hide the true facts of the case from us, including Gwydion’s involvement. We believe, at least one other of the Celtic Pantheon was party to this heinous crime and when the culprit is found, there will be hell to pay.”
“Once again, please accept my apologies, and know that I will not let this matter rest until all involved have been prosecuted by our Courts, sentenced by the Jury of Others, and handled in the appropriate manner. Also, the Goddess Áine is also out for blood. I am sure Gwydion is glad to be protected in the Prison of the Others. My sister Goddess, is not one to be trifled with in such a brazen matter.”
“Thank you, Goddess,” Alex acquiesced.
Shocked as Creed let go of her hand and bowed deeply, her heart filled with untold joy as he vowed, “As always, Goddess, please know that the Paladin are at your service. If ever you have need of us, you have only to call.”
“Thank you, Commander Creed Mathers.” Smiling, the Morrígan continued, “You are a true Guardsman and loyal Paladin and for that, the Universe, Fate, and I will forever be grateful.”
Graciously bowing her head, the Goddess looked up and turned to Alex. “Now, what have you to ask of me, my dear Alessandra?”
“Umm, well…”
Chuckling, the sound like the twinkle of tiny silver bells, the Morrígan went on, “I have known your thoughts since before you were born, dear Fairy. You have been loyal to me and to the Jury of Others for nearly a millennium. If you have need of anything, you have only to ask.”
“I was wondering if… Umm, well…” Irritated with herself for being antsy before the Goddess, she finally took a deep breath and as she exhaled asked, “May I use the Eye of Dagda to transport, Amy, Creed and myself back to Valentine, Tx?”
“No need for such formality, it is the least I can do for you.” Raising her hand, the Morrígan paused and smiled, “Be happy, Alessandra, for there is no one I know who deserves it more. Amaryllis is a formidable replacement, and all will be well.” Looking to Creed, the Goddess arched a single eyebrow. “As for you, Creed Mathers, take care of myformerSíthiche Dubh, my favorite Fairy in all the universe. She is very special to me. And if any harm should come to her…”
“I understand, Great Goddess of War, Morrígan, Alex means the world to me as well. I will do everything in my power to make her happy and fill every day of our forever with love and laughter.”
“See that it is so, Paladin. See that it is so.”
No sooner had the Morrígan uttered the words than was Alex, along with her sister and her Mate standing in the middle of the Fairies’ suite at Two Wolves B&B. Before she could open her mouth to comment on their quick journey, Amy ran into the bedroom, grabbed her backpack, and raced towards the door.
“I’m heading down to meet Angela. We’re hangin’ out while you two…” Making air quotes and grinning like the cat who ate the canary, she went on, “…are getting to know each other.” Laughing out loud as she opened the door and headed into the hall, she added, “Call me if you need anything, but do not call me if you’re naked.”
“Why you…”
But the door was already closed before Alex could think up a witty comeback. Turning into Creed’s waiting arms, she looked up at the man she’d never thought she would find but was happier than she’d ever been to be with him and whispered, “Wanna get to know each other?”
“Oh, Alex, I thought you’d never ask,” he reverently whispered, sending fire racing through her veins as his lips took hers with the wild abandon of their life-affirming, all-encompassing connection.
Lost to his kiss, Alex heard the slam of a door somewhere in the back of her mind before her body was sensually sliding down his. Deepening his kiss, she felt the wall behind her as his hands slid from her waist, down her legs, and inside the waistband of her jeans as he removed them with only a thought.
Shockwaves rocked her body as the tips of Creed’s fingers left fiery trails on her heated thighs. Tearing her lips from his, Alex gasped as his index finger teased the tip of her aroused clit through the silk of her panties.
Legs spreading wider of their own volition as his finger moved with more determination and his teeth teased the lobe of her ear, Alex was sure she’d died and gone to Heaven when he murmured, “Tell me you want me,Mo ghrá.Tell me you need me as much as I need you.”
“Oh, Goddess…yes… Creed…” she panted, her nails biting into his shoulders as her head fell to the side and her hips rolled against his.
“Say it, Alessandra. Say the words.” Creed’s tone turned sensual and dark, more demanding and wanting, making her breath hitch and her body tremble.
Opening her mouth to answer, the Fairy instead groaned as his finger left her clit. Ready to beg for more, not wanting to ever be without his touch, Alex never had the chance to utter a single word as Creed ripped the panties from her body and slid not one but two fingers into her pussy. His thumb took up where his index finger left off, teasing her clit as his fingers moved in and out, making rational thought almost impossible.
“Open your eyes, Alex.”
At his commanding tone, her eyes snapped to his. Her Mate, her Dragon, was strong and commanding. He had her best interests at heart and always would. What else could she want in a man, a lover…a Mate?
Creed Mathers was made just for her. He was perfect – everything she never knew she wanted. He completed her in every way.
With his fingers deep inside her, his thumb laying on her clit, Creed leveled his brilliant blue gaze and demanded, “Say it, Alessandra. Say it and we can be one.”
He moved closer. She could see the Dragon shining deep in his eyes – the one she’d already met and loved and knew loved her too. Her need to move, to chase the orgasm building within her, had her hips rolling forward of their own volition.
