New Species 01 Fury (44 page)

“Ellie,” he growled. “It’s been too long since I’ve been inside you. I can’t wait anymore. I’m trying to submit for you but I’m not one of your human males. I don’t have that patience you keep expecting from me.”

She laughed, releasing his nipple, and sat up. Her smile faded. “Relax.” He arched an eyebrow and then lowered his gaze to the protruding flesh in front of Ellie’s stomach. His eyes met hers. “Do I look relaxed to you?” Ellie lifted her hips and gripped Fury’s cock. She curled her hand around his stiff shaft and brushed her fingertips down the underside of it, tracing it lightly with her fingernails. He gave a throaty growl and his hands released her hips. He reached up and grabbed the headboard. Wood creaked in protest as his hands clamped down 234

strongly. Her focus shifted to them, noticed his knuckles were white and his muscles grew rigid throughout his body. She stared at him, thinking how beautiful he looked to her.

Ellie lifted up until her pussy was positioned over Fury’s cock and sank down slowly, adjusting to him until their bodies were perfectly aligned. She experienced intense pleasure. She ached to have him buried deep inside her and feel what their bodies did together.

She was wet and more than ready to ride him to show him how good being straddled could feel. She moaned as she took him deeper inside her. Every inch of his cock slid snuggly into her pussy as she lowered herself on him until he was fully seated right where he belonged.

Fury threw his head back and growled deeper as wood snapped. His gaze flew up to verify that he’d broken off one of the bars on the headboard. He tossed the wood aside and gripped another one. Their gazes locked. This seemed important to Ellie and he had to admit she looked sexy wrapped over his hips. The feel of her tight, warm sex snug around his cock left him fighting the urge to thrust up into her.

“You’re going to kill me.”

She started to move on him. “If this is dying, I’m almost ready,” Ellie moaned before she slammed down on him, lifted, twisted her hips, and drove down hard again.

Fury released the headboard and reached for her. One of his hands cupped her breast while his other hand slid between their moving bodies. Ellie threw back her head, moaning louder as Fury rubbed his thumb against her clit. Frantic, she moved on him even faster, riding him roughly. Fury growled, his hips thrusting up into her, using his heels on the bed for leverage to slam into her deeper.

He viciously cursed as his cock started to swell, his balls drew up tight, and knew he couldn’t hold back anymore. The pleasure experienced every time she drove her body down into him, combined with her muscles clenching around his cock with her pending climax from his thumb massaging her clit was pure paradise. He snarled, trying to fight coming, and managed to hold off until she screamed his name as he sent her over the edge.

Fury shook under her, nearly unseating her as he gave a final thrust up. He groaned loudly as he came. He bucked his hips and groaned deeply from being sent to heaven.

Ellie collapsed against his chest, both of them panting.

His arms wrapped around her and pure joy made him grin. Ellie was heaven to him. She’d come into his life when he’d been in hell, an angel of sunshine and hope, even if he hadn’t realized at the time why his attraction to her had been so intense.

Somewhere deep inside he must have known she was the other half of his soul.

He’d nearly lost her when he’d been drugged and it terrified him how close he’d come to hurting the one thing he loved most. Even insane, he’d known that she was special, that she mattered, and he never would have survived if she’d died. His 235

precious Ellie made life worth living to him. Being with him put her in danger but a life without her wasn’t a life at all. He couldn’t live without his Ellie.

“So,” she panted against his chest. “How was that?” All the dark thoughts disappeared. Fury chuckled. “I’ll submit to you doing this any time.”

Ellie caressed him. “I thought you might love that.”

“I just love everything about you.” He suddenly rolled them to pin her flat under him.

Ellie stared up at him as her legs wrapped around the back of his legs and her arms wound around his neck. “Couldn’t take it anymore, huh?”

“I want to make sure you don’t try to get up.”

“We’re locked together. I wouldn’t dare try to leave you until that swelling goes down. I told you, I want to make a cuddler out of you.”

“You can do that but that’s not why I don’t want you to get up just yet.”

“You just want to hold me? That’s so sweet.” She kissed his chin. “I love it when you do.”

He chuckled. “That’s not why either but I enjoy us being connected and holding you is my second favorite thing. I have time to make up.” He moved inside her, thrusting gently. “This is my absolute favorite thing to do to you.” Ellie moaned at the instant pleasure, wanted him, but it surprised her. “Again? So soon?”

He nodded, lowering his head until his lips brushed her throat. “Again.”

“I so love you,” she whispered.

“Calm down,” Ellie laughed.

Fury paced and a soft growl rumbled from his parted lips.

Ellie approached him to grab his arm and pulled him to a stop in front of her. She reached up to caress his cheek. “Nothing bad is going to happen.”

“Something dire always happens.” He sighed but wrapped his arms around her waist while his intense gaze studied her face. “Are you sure that you don’t mind doing it this way? Breeze and some of the females have informed me that I’m making a mistake. They believe you will resent it later. I hope they have been watching too many movies. Breeze reminded me about human families and they think we should have more of your people here.”

“They have been watching too many movies. That’s true and it’s my fault. We watch them almost every day to help them learn about normal life…up to a point. This is what I want. You’re my family now, Fury. I love my blood family but they weren’t real understanding of our relationship when I spoke to them. I have to face the fact that, no matter what I do or who I’m with, they won’t be happy. They will just have to deal with it. If they don’t, too bad. This is my life now, here with you. You’re everything to me.”

Fury chewed on his bottom lip. “What about children? I wish I could give you those but I’m unable.” Sadness haunted his eyes. “I’m so sorry.”

“Don’t be. Do you want to have some?”

Ellie’s heart missed a beat at the idea of having a little Fury running around their home. She bet it would be one adorable little baby but she knew it would never happen.

“I would like to.” Fury pulled her tighter against his chest. “But mostly I just want you. All that matters is we are together and I am so grateful to have you, Ellie. You are always going to be more than enough to make me happy.”

“I would like a few little rug rats myself.” She smiled up at him. “We’ll work it out somehow. Trisha and Ted are great doctors who might be able to find a way to fix what was done to you and if not, we could always adopt. There are always options. If we never have children, that’s okay too.”

He nodded. “We can at least talk to the doctors. It would be the first time in my life that I wouldn’t mind being tested and prodded. I never believed I’d say those words after all that was done to me inside my cell.”

Ellie’s heart nearly stilled at the reminder of their past and how they had met. “Will you ever forgive me for what I did to you?”

He met her gaze and held it. “You don’t even have to ask that. I already have. You did what you had to do to save us all.”

She smiled. “Thank you.”

Fury’s smile faltered. “Are you sure you aren’t going to be sorry for today? Are you certain this is what you want? I need this to be perfect for you.”

“Hey,” Ellie whispered. “Don’t look sad. Being with you makes me happier than I’ve ever been in my entire life. How many times do I have to keep saying that before you believe me? I love you. If you had any idea how happy this makes me, you wouldn’t even think to ask me. I’m positive that this is exactly what I want, just this way, because I’m doing this with you.”

The conference room door opened and Ellie twisted her head to glance back. Justice entered and a group of people followed him. Ellie smiled at familiar faces.

“Are you sure, Ellie? We could wait and plan something better, something more traditional.”

Ellie met his gaze. “I told you. I don’t care where it’s held or how it’s done, Fury.”

“I want nothing to go wrong,” Fury growled. “No shooters. No crazy nurses.” Ellie bit her lip hard. She didn’t want to laugh. He looked so certain something would go wrong. “This is why we decided to do this today with only a few people clued in to what we’re about to do. No one can mess up something they aren’t expecting.”

“I like your logic.”

Ellie moved closer, rising to her tiptoes to brush her lips against his ear. “I love your ass and the fact that you’re totally healed up. I can’t wait to get you alone.”

“Ellie?” Slade spoke.

Ellie turned her head. “I’m talking over here.”

“And we’re all listening,” Slade chuckled while he tapped his ear. “Keen hearing.

Glad to know Fury is back to a hundred percent though.” Blushing, Ellie glared at him. “What is it with you guys? Couldn’t you at least pretend you didn’t hear that?”

Slade winked. “Where would be the fun in that? You blush so cutely.” Fury growled, shooting his friend a warning glare, and Slade moved to take a seat.

Ellie shook her head while Fury shrugged.

A white-haired man walked through the door last. He wore a black robe and held a bible in his hand. He took his place in front of Ellie and Fury. His serious gaze traveled around the room.

“I need everyone to please take a seat.”

The room became quiet. Ellie saw confusion on a lot of faces as they sat, staring at the couple in front of them with the unfamiliar human male. Most of them had no idea why they had been called to a mandatory meeting but there were a few who smothered 238

knowing grins. Breeze waved at Ellie from a chair in the front. Ellie waved back and then looked up at Fury. Their gazes met and held.

“We’re gathered here today,” the white-haired man stated loudly, “to join together Fury North and Ellie Brower in marriage.” He took a breath.

“Don’t say it.” Fury gave the minister a scary look. “Don’t you dare ask if anyone has any objections. We talked about this.”

The man paled and cleared his throat. “Fury, do you take Ellie to be your wife?”

“I do.”

The minister opened his mouth but Fury growled again. White eyebrows shot up and his voice lowered. “How much do you want me to cut here?” Dark eyes narrowed as Fury softly growled again and Ellie bit back a laugh. The minister cleared his throat again.

“Ellie, do you take Fury to be your husband?”

“I do.”

“I pronounce you husband and wife.” He peered at Fury warily. “Was that fast enough for you? You may kiss your bride. You’re legally married.” A wide grin split Fury’s features. “No one stopped us.”

“Someone would have to be a speed protester to get a have gotten a word in there.” Ellie leaned into him and a chuckled. “Now kiss me.” Fury lowered his head and Ellie closed her eyes, her heart racing. Life was never going to be boring with her husband. His mouth took possession of hers and she got lost in the man she loved, in front of a roomful of witnesses.

“Aren’t they supposed to exchange rings?” Halfpint whispered the question.

“Oh, they’ll be exchanging plenty.” Slade chuckled. “I think putting something on her is the last thing Fury wants at this moment.” Breeze laughed. “Um, maybe we should separate them or leave the room because it looks as if he’s about to take everything off both of them. They are really excited to be married.”

Justice stood. “Let’s clear out of here,” he whispered, knowing his people could hear him. “Now.”

He glanced at the couple kissing at the front of the room, entwined together, and mixed emotions stirred. He was grateful they’d found that much happiness together but at the same time, it made him ache to find it too.

A hand touched his shoulder and he forced his gaze away from Ellie and Fury to meet Tiger’s stare.

“They are clearing out,” Tiger whispered. “I’ll order one of our men to stand outside to prevent anyone from disturbing them. Slade is escorting the minister 239

outside.” He paused. “They are so wrapped up in each other that the room could catch fire and they wouldn’t be aware of it.”

Justice glanced at the front of the room and then grinned. “Let’s go.” He closed the doors to the conference room when they reached the hallway. “I want that one day,” he admitted.

Tiger paused, tilted his head slightly, and watched Justice for a long moment. “I would be too afraid to find and then lose that kind of love.” Justice nodded. “We’re free. Anything is possible now if we just reach for it.” Slade walked up. “Are they naked yet and having sex on top of one of the tables?”

“Probably.” Tiger grinned. “Justice is getting sentimental and wants a woman of his own. I don’t. I enjoy my life just as it is. What about you?” Slade had a mental image of Doc Trisha and her smile flashed through his thoughts.

“I’m undecided but who knows what the future holds.” 240

About the Author

I’m a full time “in-house supervisor” (sounds
much
better than plain ol’ housewife), mother and writer. I’m addicted to caramel iced coffee, the occasional candy bar (or two) and trying to get at least five hours of sleep at night.

I love to write all kinds of stories. I think the best part about writing is the fact that real life is always uncertain, always tossing things at us that we have no control over, but when your write, you can make sure there’s always a happy ending. I
love
that about writing. I love it when I sit down at my computer desk and put on my headphones to listen to loud music to block out the world around me, so I can create worlds in front of me.
