Their Improbable Mating [Paranormal Protection Unit 3] (Siren Publishing Allure) (14 page)

“How about when we get pregnant again we will make sure that I take extra special care? I will get the prenatal care started, darling, and that way they will start to working on my body, too, okay, honey? We will do whatever we can in order to ensure that our child has a chance at survival. We will do all that we can to ensure that we bring a little Dragon into the world to spoil like crazy.”

Frowning slightly, he looked at her. “You want to try again?” he asked softly, unsure if he should say no or…not. Chewing his lip, Allister leaned his forehead to hers. “I’m scared, love. I don’t think I can survive seeing you hurt if anything should happen again. I think it’s a sign from the universe that I’m just not meant to have children.” A sign he was too crappy to be a dad.

“Don’t you dare say something like that,” she muttered. “And yes I want to try again. I want children with you, darling. I don’t care how long it takes us to get this right. All that matters is that we will be together in it all the time. I love you, darling. I love you and I need you. We will have a child together, and do you know why I’m so sure?” she asked and watched him watching her. “Because you are going to be an amazing dad. That’s why I’m positive that we will have babies.”

He still wasn’t feeling all that “amazing” as she put it, but he nodded slowly. “All right, love,” he murmured quietly. Allister really didn’t know if he believed her opinion on the matter. Oh, he knew she’d never lie, but she was slightly biased. The woman loved and adored him, definitely a smidge biased. Dipping his head, he kissed her slowly. “I love you so much, Jacqueline,” he breathed against her mouth.

“That’s a very good thing, darling, because I happen to love and adore you as well,” she stated happily. “We are forever, always and forever one. Together you and I are going to have a very good life,” she told him happily.

“Of that I have no doubt, my love,” he said gently. Hugging her close, he sent out a prayer to Gaia to watch over and protect his mate. That and to allow her the chance to be the amazing and perfectly charming mother he knew she could be. “You will be there. It wouldn’t dare be anything but perfect in your glorious presence, my darling bond-mate.”

Jackie winked at him and grinned. “So how about this deal. I will be on my vitamins but off my birth control. We will practice for a new baby as often as we absolutely can and won’t stress over anything else. We will simply be together, darling. That’s all that matters.”

“I think that might be best,” he agreed with her softly and smiled. “I just want you happy, baby, I hope you understand that. No matter what, I just want you happy and pleased with the mate you have in your life.” Gods help him if she ever got displeased. She actually was trained well enough to do some damage.

“You just want me happy and healthy in our relationship because I’m a fourth level black belt and you don’t want me to hand your ass to you on a silver platter, darling. Admit it,” she teased him with a grin. “But it’s okay. I would never hurt you. Yes, I might give you one heck of a hard time, but that’s all right, my love. I would totally do it and then kiss the boo-boos better for you, my love.”

“I’ll just fry your ass if you try any of that kung fu hoo-hoo on me, lady,” he muttered, pulling her in close and grinning. “Bet my Dragon could take your black belt and make it cry for its momma pretty damn fast.” He wiggled his brows. “Or I could just make wild love to you so you forget all about evil plots to kick my too-adorable ass.”

Jackie grinned up at him. “Oh, I love it when you get all Dragon Dominant on me,” she purred. She really did. It was the oddest thing. She loved, loved to be dominated by her Dragon. “I love the idea of making wild love to you, darling. You do have that way of making me forget absolutely everything in life when we fuck like bunnies.”

“Bunnies are tasty,” he commented idly and grinned at her odd expression. “The fur’s an issue though. Gets all balled up in the teeth, nasty.” Wiggling his eyebrows at her, he moved in closer. “But you are much, much tastier to this hungry Dragon,” he whispered. “I could lick you up for hours and want for absolutely nothing.” Allister growled softly at the idea of having her laid out for his pleasure, and hers of course.

She shivered from head to toe on that one and licked her lips. “Gods, Allister, when you talk like that it makes me all kinds of…” She fanned herself. “Hot.” And it did. Wow did it ever make her hot. Just to listen to him, to know that he wanted her every bit as much as she wanted him. Shit, she was creaming like crazy from that knowledge.

Inhaling slowly, he smiled. “You’re ready for me right now, aren’t you?” he asked, stroking his fingers over the side of her breast lightly. “I could slide into you right now and you’d come without much effort, wouldn’t you?” he whispered, nipping at her throat gently.

“Yes.” She moaned. “If you were to slide into me right now I could scream with the orgasm that you would give me,” she admitted to him. “Because I’m so wet. I’m so desperate. I’m so needy that I know that you would be able to do just that. You just look at me and I get wet and ready for you.”

That was a heady bit of knowledge that he rather liked. Smiling, he squeezed her ass. “I want to bury myself deep inside of you until neither of us knows where one starts and ends. I want to feel you clenching me hard, milking me for everything I’m worth until neither of us can move. I need to hear you screaming as you claw at me in your need and desperation.”

“Then instead of teasing me, get your beautiful ass naked so that you can fuck me. I want you to fuck me until I scream and then even harder, even more. I want your Dragon to come out and play, too.” God, she loved it when Allister gave up that little bit of his control and let the Dragon slip just a bit.

“You have to get naked, too, you know,” he pointed out since she didn’t seem inclined to let him go. “It’s very hard to get tab A into slot B with barrier C in the way, sugar,” Allister teased with a grin on his face. He loved when she got all demanding and bossy, at least about sex. Everything else he just grinned and bore as best he could.

“I swear one day I’m going to write a book on how to have sex the right way with one’s Dragon bond-mate,” Jackie said with a grin, stepping back and stripping out of her clothes so fast that she was sure she lost buttons along the way but couldn’t have given a flying fuck if she had tried.

“The ‘right way’?” he asked, staring at her as he paused in pulling his shirt off. “Just what do you mean by the ‘right way’, darling?” He narrowed his eyes on her. He was missing something there, which wasn’t surprising. His little mate’s mind went six ways to Sunday without turn signals more often than not.

“Yep, the ‘right way,’” Jackie said with a grin and winked at him. Once she was properly naked, she said, “It would be a very short and simple book. Wear skirts always, never underwear, and always be ready for your Dragon. The End. That simple, darling mine.”

“You would make millions I’m sure,” he said, softly kicking his pants away. Wrapping her up in his arms, he kissed her hard and fast as he lifted her up. “Sound advice in a concise and easy to understand format. What could be better?”

“Exactly. No big words to confuse the silly ones, so yep, I should totally write it.” Jackie grinned. With a little help from Quincy she was going to ensure that the sage advice of no panties and lots of skirts went out in a memo, too. She was just that freaking crazy. “So what now, darling?” she asked as she wrapped her arms around him, teasing him with talking instead of kissing, touching, feeling.

Nipping at her lip, he nuzzled her cheek. “Now I think I should put my tab into your slot and maybe rub it back and forth a bit. I noticed you like that part quite a lot and we should always do things that you like, my love.”

“Oh, I absolutely love that part a great deal,” she said with a grin and leaned in to kiss him again. As their bodies once more merged into one, she let out a sigh of pure pleasure. “I love you so very much, Allister.” He was hers. He might be completely stuffy to all those around him, but with her he was himself. He was truly remarkable and she never wanted him to change. He was perfect just as he was.

“I’m glad you like me as I am, sweet,” he whispered, rolling his hips slowly as he licked up her throat slowly. “Because I adore you as you are and you are absolutely amazing,” he murmured with a grin. “Perfect beyond all expectations, divine, surreal, and mine. My fantasy woman taken form.” Allister growled, thrusting harder.

She bit back a cry of pleasure and grinned down at him. She moved even closer to him so that her breasts would move against his chest and began to rock on him with a deep-seated hunger that couldn’t be assuaged. “Growl for me,” she demanded and bit his chest lightly as she did so.

Giving her what she wanted, he growled deep, letting the Dragon into the sound so it rocked items around them. Squeezing her bottom, he moved harder, faster, his need matching hers in desperation. Gods, he couldn’t imagine life without her. Thank the Gods for his moronic brother and his weird code of honor.

This had been what she needed! The feeling of pleasure rocked her to the very core of her being and she heard herself screaming to go right along with his growl. She shivered as she came, her mouth on his chest, and bit him once again as she came.

Snarling, he held her down tight over him as he came, lights dancing behind his eyes as he shuddered in orgasm. Throwing out a hand, he braced them against the wall so he didn’t crush her if he fell down, especially since she’d likely be on the bottom. “Holy mother of the Gods,” he wheezed out. He could swear they only seemed to get better and better. Much more and one of them would likely die of a pleasure-induced stroke.

Four months later

“I swear to god, Allister, if you don’t call your brother back I’m going to beat the hell out of him myself,” Jackie growled. “I don’t know what the hell is wrong with him, but I swear to the Gods I’m going to kill him myself if he goes off half cocked once again.” She had begun to get more and more worried for Aiden and the way that he was all but hanging himself out for their enemies to find him, and it had her seriously pissed. Besides, they needed to share the good news of their pregnancy with him as well.

Sighing, he stared at his bond-mate and shrugged. “Aiden is just that way, love. You can no more control that lunatic than I can,” he added when she shot him a glare promising pain. “If you want to try, go for it.”

“No, I think that I will wait for him to find a bond-mate, someone that’s going to put him on his ass,” she said with a smug grin. “Then I think that I will just giggle at him every now and again.”
Or something like that.

“That seems like a sound plan, cruel, but sound nonetheless,” he commented. “Though at the rate he is going he’ll have forty kids by the time he finds a bond-mate,” he muttered under his breath. Not that he thought his brother wasn’t taking precautions. He knew Aiden and knew he always did take precautions, but still, between the missions he was taking and his social life, how he was still upright was beyond him.

“I’m not sure how his bond-mate would feel about that if he had a whole passel of kids running around before he met her,” Jackie said softly. “Can’t you guys get STDs and stuff? He is gloving up before loving, right?” She and Allister hadn’t because they were meant to be together, and she had been on birth control before they decided to try for children, so she wasn’t worried about anything at all.

“He always wears a condom from what I understand.” Not that he outright asked his brother that kind of stuff.
Ick!
“But no, we don’t catch such diseases, nor can we transmit them. We’re not carriers, basically. We can catch the common cold, but other than that”—Allister shrugged—“we don’t get sick, ever.”

“I know, I’m totally asking way too many intimate questions.” She shook her head and sighed. “It’s like he’s lost and is searching for something. I feel for him actually,” she admitted. “You were his closest confidant for all your lives, darling, and now you have me. You two are no longer spending as much time together as you once did because of me. Maybe he’s missing you?”

He hadn’t thought of that, but still…“We see each other all the time. Not as much, absolutely, but we still work together, hang out at lunch, shoot the bull in one of our offices, train together, and still do missions. Plus he’s always here or we’re there.” But maybe it wasn’t enough. “I will arrange some time just for us to hang out. Maybe I’ll drag him over to the pub on the weekend and we can catch a game or something.”

“Without me,” she added. “Honey, it could be that he’s missing that alone time that he had with you before me. I know how asinine that sounds, but it could be that he’s feeling like a third wheel, love. Talk to him about it, please?” She didn’t want to come between the brothers and that was very, very clearly her worry in this matter.

“I’ll talk to him, love,” he promised, softly stroking a finger down her cheek. Smiling slightly, he brushed a kiss to her lips. “I like that you’re worried for him,” he murmured. “Much better than the trying to kill him off at every turn because he’s an ass.”

“I only give him a hard time because I adore him. He’s the brother I never had, and I’m totally worried for him,” Jackie said with her eyes sparkling as she looked up at Allister. “Thank you for taking the time to talk to him, darling.”

“He’s my big brother, sweetheart. Of course I’ll talk to him,” he said with a frown. “I love him. He’s part of me and our lives. If he’s in some sort of trouble I want to ensure he knows we’re here for him. That I’m here for him if he has issue with girls knowing boy things, too, of course.” He grinned.
