60Remember readers, this story is rated M for a reason.
Slipping out the front of the church, enclosed in my own thoughts and sliding the rosary into my jeans pocket, I get into the jeep knowing exactly where I need to go. I head back the same way I came, slowly this time with the shadows continually rising higher to meet the darkening sky. The air was slowly turning cool as I returned to Trinity Cemetery following the rising moon toward the disheveled grave.
Brushing aside the glass that shimmered like diamonds as they fell to the grass below, I settle myself down against the headstone trying to make myself at home.
"Hi Mrs. Reaney," I say to the sole reason I came back. "I'm here because I want to tell you thank you. You obviously know me better than I know myself when you placed that rosary in the candle. I only hope I can use it wisely and make you proud because I'm scared. The Night of Reckoning will be here in a week and I'm not ready for it. What if something goes wrong? What if I mess everything up?"
All was quiet around the graveyard, until another car pulled up beside the jeep. I hold my breath praying that everything will be okay. When I see who is approaching, I'm in shock that my prayers have been answered twice today. At the end of the row stood Gage; the moonlight cast shadows across his face and muscled physique, and the sight of him made my body heat up with desire.
Trying to rein it back, I approach him cautiously, "Hi."
Gage copies the reply, "Hi," he says, flashing his white teeth.
"So," I stall trying to come up with something to say.
"Come here, Lilly," Gage interjects, his voice so rough and deep it only makes me more aroused.
Squeezing my legs together, I stumble back a step, "How about I stay here and you over there so we can, uh, talk."
"We could," he replies moving menacingly forward, "Or we could take care of that ache between your legs instead.
Grabbing me to him before I can object, Gage wastes no time hungrily devouring my lips.
All my brain cells seemed to vanish as I stand there in shock, until he stops his pursuit to take my bottom lip between his teeth; he bites down softly causing me to come out of my feverish stupor.
Breaking out of Gage's hold, I back up a few steps, "I'm sorry," I whisper before sprinting down the other way towards the jeep.
I manage to make it half way out of the cemetery before he darts across the path in front of me making me skid to a stop.
"Not this time," Gage curses, his eyes darkening with lust. "I will make you mine tonight and nothing's going to stop me."
Both fear and delight dance along the nerves of my back and then I fling myself to the right between two headstones, zigzagging through the cemetery with Gage pursuing me with a feral growl.
Making it to the jeep, I'm about to jump in when I hear him shout, "I will find you Lilly. You can't hide from your mate."
"I'll take my chances," I mumble mostly to myself getting in the jeep and taking off.
When I reach the main road, I hesitate, "Which way? Left is my home and right is Gage's. Which way should I go?"
Seeing Gage's car roaring down the road toward me, I swallow my fear and take a right.
When I reach his house, I tumble out of the jeep racing towards the door only to make it three steps before I'm grabbed from behind and push backwards onto the warm hood of Gage's car with his arousal hard against my stomach.
Heat floods me as Gage nuzzles my neck placing swift kisses down the side and slowly trails a hand down the button of my jeans.
"Fuck. Baby, you're so ready for me," he breathes, undoing the button and letting a finger find my wetness.
When I moan in ecstasy at his small touch, he breaks away for only a moment. His eyes still heated with hunger, he pulls me towards the house.
Going inside we find it empty, Gage continues on through the dark house taking me to his bedroom and shutting us inside with a click of the door.
Pushing me onto the bed with power, he climbs on top, his strong thighs on each side of mine, taking my face into his hands.
"Lilly, I need you so much," he pleads. "Tell me baby, tell me this is real."
Nodding into his warm hands, I brush my fingers over the stubble on his checks, "It's real. Please, Gage, make me yours."
Kissing me full on, I gasp when he wrenches off my jeans. I feel his breath tickle my ear as he whispers, "I promise, you won't regret this Lilly, trust me."
He continued to undress me, his eyes keeping steady with mine the entire time and even though they blaze with desire, they calm the storm inside my head.
"You're beautiful," he murmurs, sliding his strong hands down my naked body.
I blush feeling embarrassed as he was still fully dressed, "I want to see you," I say quietly sitting up.
Kicking off his shoes and socks first, Gage makes quick work of his shirt next, tearing it over his head and revealing the beautiful power of his muscles gracing every inch of his upper half.
Wanting to undress him, like he did me, I place my hand on his arm as he's undoing the button to his jeans. Gage lets him hand fall away and I slide down the rough fabric of his jeans and the softer one of his boxers over his hardness, which sprung free of its constraints.
Moving back at the sight of how large he was, I start to have my doubts, but he quickly kicks aside his clothing and grabs me around the waist.
"Remember what I said?" Gage asks taking one of my nipples into his greedy mouth.
Whimpering in pleasure, I can feel myself grow wetter as his erection prods my inner thigh, "Trust…trust you."
He grins wickedly, releasing my breast and trailing his mouth down towards my thighs. Spreading my knees wide with his hands, I can feel his hot breath against my wet heat, but I don't dare look down, and I snap my eyes shut.
Gage's mouth and fingers slip into me and I cry as my eyes open in shock at the pleasure that shoots through me.
I can fill the rumble of his voice as growls against me, "You don't know how long I wanted to do this."
Panting mindlessly, I beg him for to do something, anything, not knowing what I want as I feel pressure building up inside of me.
"Come, baby. Let it go," Gage demands thrusting a finger inside and as he continues faster and faster until I explode. Screaming at the intensity, I grip the sheets underneath me into my fists as he continues incessantly until I can't take it any longer.
Under heavily lidded eyes, I watch Gage rise up onto his knees, positioning himself between my thighs, ready to push inside of me and I shut my eyes again.
Gripping my chin, he commands, "Open your eyes, Lilly."
When I obey, Gage murmurs, "Good, baby, now keep your eyes on mine. Don't stray from mine. Look at me."
Keeping his eyes locked on mine, he slides his erection over my wetness and electricity shoots through my body. Placing just the tip inside me, Gage watches for my reaction before plunging into me.
"Fuck," Gage groans. "You're so tight."
My eyes water and I cry out from the radiating pain of him inside me. I struggle to push him off, but he captures my wrists into his hand.
"Shh," he soothes. "I know it hurts and I'm going to try to make it feel better for you. Will you let me?"
When I nod, Gage brings his fingers down to where he's still inside of me and stroking me until I feel my wetness rush back.
Gage leans down to whisper in my ear, "Will you let me take you, Lilly?"
"Yes," I moan. "Yes, Gage, please."
Slowly he withdraws only to plunge right back, but this time it was in pleasure that I gasp. Gage's thrusts grow more forceful, increasing with speed as he goes along and the pleasurable pressure begins to build up again making me groan in ecstasy as I finally release it.
"Lilly," Gage yells my name as I feel the pulsing of his seed pump hot and fast before he falls to the sweaty sheets of the bed beside me.
Curling me possessively into his arms, I rest my head on top on his strong chest.
"I love you, mate," I smile looking up into Gage's blazing green eyes.
Shock filters through his face before it lights up in bliss, "I love you too, little mate. I will always love you."
