Alli took Sully’s hand. “I’m so sorry. I don’t know what to
say.”

“You don’t have to say anything. I know that we are asking a
lot from you. We will all understand if you can’t help us. Falling in love is
not something you can plan and we Donovans know that,” Sully said quietly.

Alli felt emotionally battered. It had been a rough day.
With Finn pressing her and Mr. Donovan telling her what had to happen, she was
inundated with conflicting emotions. Sully sharing the story of Duncan and
Niamh helped explain the family’s need to help Heather from the same fate but
she was exhausted, body and soul.

Releasing her hand, he stood. “You need to get some rest.”
Sully kissed her soft cheek one last time and whispered, “Think no more of this
tonight, Alli, and get some sleep.”

Chapter Ten

A very pissed-off Finn jerked Sully awake the next morning.
“Where the hell did you take her last night, asshole?”

Sully actually grinned at him. He was obviously taking
pleasure in Finn’s discomfort. “Settle down, big brother. I took her to her
house and we talked before I sent her to sleep.”

Finn paced the room as he watched his younger brother for a
sign he was lying through his teeth. He knew Sully had a soft spot for his
future sister-in-law but Finn was not into sharing his woman. Worried since
dawn, he’d decided he couldn’t wait for Sully to wake up on his own.

“What did you tell her?”

“The truth, man. I shared the vision with her.” He put his
hand up before Finn could rip into him again. “I only shared about the curse.
Your time on the island is up to you to explain, brother.”

“How close did you have to get to her to share?” Finn knew
what it took to share in a vision. Only Sully had that ability and Finn found
that he was jealous.

“I held her, Finn. Nothing untoward happened, I swear. I
know that she belongs to you.”

“You’re damn straight she belongs to me. Don’t put your
hands on her again.”

Sully leaned back and laughed. “Oh man, you have it bad.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“You love her.” It was a statement, not a question.

“Don’t be ridiculous. I want her and I am going to marry
her.” Finn stormed out the door to the sound of Sully laughing at his expense.

He kept his hands in tight fists to keep from hitting a
wall. He had to control the overwhelming anger coursing through his body or the
house was going to start shaking. One of the hazards of being a witch was
trying to control the power when you got too emotional.

Alli, she was all he could think about and since Pop had
scared the hell out of her last night, Finn was going to have to change his
strategy with her. He had been trying to woo her in his own way but she was too
skittish and ran away from him. Now he was going for a full-on assault of her
senses. He would make her so hot and wet for him that she couldn’t resist.

Finn was going to make Alli his in every way possible. For
too many years now, he had fantasized about her. How her soft body felt against
his hard one. He was going to make love to her as no other man had ever done.

The idea of her being with another man made Finn tremble.
The thought of some other guy touching her face, suckling her nipples, filling
up her pussy. It drove Finn crazy.

Now was the time. Alli was his and he was going to get her
and show her where she truly belonged, with him. It was time she knew the truth
about what happened to him when he was sent to Avalon. He needed to be honest
with her, but it scared the hell out of him because he didn’t want her to feel
pity for him.

It was only right she know all the facts.

Finn let himself into her home. She was still asleep on the
couch where his brother had left her.

He went to his knees and stroked the hair from her eyes.
“Baby, wake up. I need to talk to you.”

Her eyes fluttered opened and his name slid out on a sigh.
His gut clenched, wishing he was waking her up by sliding into her.

“Scoot over, sleepyhead, I have some things I need to tell
you.”

She moved over and he slid in beside her.

“What’s so important? Is something wrong with Heather?”

He feathered a kiss across her forehead; just like her to
think of others. “No, she’s fine. I need to tell you what happened when I was
sent away.”

Her face scrunched up and deep frown lines marred her pretty
features. “I don’t think I’m going to like what I hear after what I saw
yesterday.”

“You sound like a mama bear.” Finn smiled.

“I don’t like what that woman said to you. I can infer some
of what went on. It took everything I had not to punch her in the nose.”

“Damn, I adore you and I’ll show you how much, but first I
need to tell you my story.”

He gently wrapped his hands around hers. “I was taken to the
island in the mist. I was terrified the minute I stepped off the boat and was
taken to see the high priestess. You can imagine how unhappy the women of the
island were to receive me, but that is the place where we’re sent to be judged
and punished for crimes like I had committed.”

“Finn, you didn’t force me to do anything.” Alli was fierce
as she squeezed his hand. “I made the choice to have sex with you that night.”

He kissed her knuckles. She was trying to defend his
actions. “Alli, baby, unlike normal society where women are often treated
badly, in our community it is the opposite. You are revered, in you lies the
ability of creation. Your nurturing and your emotional strength are considered
gifts.

“Men are your counterparts, your companions and the ones who
should hold you up high. Always there to protect you and tend to your needs.
What I did was wrong and goes against all I had ever been taught. My mother was
so mortified at my actions. It hurt her deeply on a level that I will never
understand. She finally forgave me before she died but she had been bitterly
disappointed by my actions.” His throat felt raw at the memories of the shame
he’d brought upon himself and his family.

His finger skimmed along her cheek. “You’ve no idea how
truly precious you are to this world, to me. A man is nothing without the
strength and love of a woman. I’m nothing without your strength and
forgiveness. Our night together went beyond spectacular. In fact I’m not sure I
can find the right words to tell you what that night meant to me, how it’s
haunted my dreams every night. How I wished like hell I could have spent these
last years in your arms.”

At the reminder of the night they had spent together and the
aftermath of it, she flushed a deep red and let go of Finn. The air between
them felt cold. Would he ever find the right thing to say to her? She pulled
the covers to her chin but he didn’t miss the tears gathering in the corners of
her beautiful eyes. He didn’t want her to feel humiliated by what they shared,
it was magical and joyful and he’d never experienced it ever again.

“Alli,” his voice so solemn, “I have never apologized to you
for that night.”

“You don’t have to,” she mumbled, waving her hand.

“I do. I won’t say I’m sorry for making love with you. It
took me by surprise, the things that you made me feel then. I do apologize for
giving in to the need to fit in with the guys. For making that stupid bet in
the first place. I will never forget or feel bad about having you beneath me.
For you giving me your virginity, for making me feel something I had never felt
before or since until now. All because of you, Alli. I wouldn’t trade that
night with you for anything in the world.”

Finn leaned down and kissed her deeply. Trying to imprint
every part of her mouth on his tongue.

The kiss alone did Alli in. Her embarrassment faded into the
background as his tongue claimed her mouth. Nothing had ever felt so right. His
mouth was made for hers. Every touch of his tongue lit a fire in her stomach
and tightened her chest. She met him kiss for kiss, giving and taking as much
as he was.

He fell back against the pillows, taking her with him.
Pulling away, Alli stared into his face. Such a handsome, rugged face. His nose
not quite straight, his lips plump and firm, and cheekbones chiseled to
perfection. She began kissing that face, tracing it with her fingers and her
tongue. His smooth forehead, running her hands from it down his slightly
stubbled cheek. She traced his perfectly formed, sensual lips. Imprinting the
feel of them against her skin. She wanted to know every ridge and plane, feel
his skin burn beneath her fingers.

He caught one of her fingers in his mouth and sucked on it
long and hard. Her pussy became instantly slick with need. Throbbing along with
the finger in his hot mouth.

Licking his jaw, going slowly up one side and down the
other. His hands moved down her thigh until he found her wet center. Teasing
her outer lips while her mouth moved to his shoulders, biting the rock-hard
flesh before soothing them with her tongue. Sucking hard on his neck, she
nipped the skin there, leaving her mark on his throat as his finger dipped
inside her pussy. It clamped around him and he groaned with satisfaction.

Alli slipped down farther to lick his flat brown nipple.
Finn hissed as she ran her tongue across the top of it. She smiled as she
brought it between her teeth and playfully bit. While licking one, she took her
fingers and began a descent down his stomach. Running them through the soft
hair there. Moaning loudly every time she hit a pleasure spot, Finn slammed his
fingers deeper into her wet core.

Alli managed to push herself down farther along Finn’s body,
which forced him to withdraw from her pussy. While she felt the emptiness, she
wanted to experience giving him pleasure. She almost fainted as she watched
Finn put his fingers in his mouth and suck greedily from them.

Her tongue dipped into his bellybutton as she found his
stiff cock. He was so strong, so hard, and Alli wanted to purr as she slid her
hand back and forth along it.

“Oh yeah, baby, touch me, just like that,” Finn coaxed her
along. She felt powerful for the first time in a long while. His pleasure was
in her touch, in her mouth and on her tongue. She was making him moan, begging
her to touch him more, taste him further.

Alli brought her tongue around the broad head. Licking it
slowly, sucking at the tip and taking his pre-cum into her mouth. She inhaled
the smell of him, so hot and musky. Her mouth lapping up and down his shaft as
her hand came to rest on his balls. Rolling the sac until it was tight against
his body. His moans coming from deep in his chest, urging Alli on.

“Oh yes, baby, suck my cock.”

She smiled again and looked into his eyes. She took the
mushroom head deep into her mouth.

He pushed his fingers into her hair, holding her head still
as he pushed his cock in and out of her.

“Baby, I need you so fucking bad. You’re so damn hot. I
can’t satisfy this driving need I have for you. It’s relentless, driving me
insane. Ride me, baby,” he begged. She pulled herself off his cock. “Ride me
hard, Alli, now,” he demanded as he pulled her atop him.

The look of lust in his eyes was so intense as she grabbed
his rigid length, running it along her slit and teasing her clit with it.

“Hold your pussy open for me, Alli, so I can slide in and
fuck you.”

Doing as he asked, Alli spread her lips apart. Finn grabbed
the base of his cock and lined up the head with her opening. Grabbing one of
her shoulders, he pushed her down, impaling her on his dick.

Alli pulled up and instead of going back down, she began to
make circles with her hips.

“Teasing wench,” Finn said between gritted teeth. This was
torture, being inside her but not nearly deep enough. He grabbed both shoulders
this time and shoved her back all the way down. Her tender tissue tightened
around him and he cried out at the pleasure.

Alli’s head fell back and her body arched, forcing her
breasts upward. Finn grabbed the fleshy globes, basking in their perfection. He
ran his fingers around both of them. Alli placed her hands on his shoulders as
she rode him hard.

She watched as he slid one hand down to her clit and circled
it with his thumb, his other hand pinching and plucking at her nipples. It was
glorious as she started to bounce faster on his hard length. Her body rising
and falling on his as she screamed her release. Her pussy tightening around his
huge cock.

Finn sat up, wrapping his arms around her. Her juices
flooding her thighs, Alli felt him slide his finger to her ass and start
playing with her virgin hole.

She stiffened and Finn kissed her lips. “Relax, baby, I’m
just going to play with it for a bit. I promise you it will feel so good,” he
crooned in her ear.

By this time, he had gathered her wetness on his fingers.
Spreading her sweet cream before placing his finger at the rim. When she slid
down his cock, he pushed his finger slightly into her. Every time she came down
on him, he slid his finger deeper into her.

Alli was stunned at the fullness and pleasure she was
receiving from his finger. After adjusting to it, they soon set a rhythm. Being
filled from the front and the back was exquisite torture and had Alli moaning
and crying. Big fat tears rolled down her face and she clung to him.

He grabbed her hair and kissed her in time with their
thrusts. Alli had never felt so full, never been so connected to another human
being. Rocking back and forth, taking his cock into her cunt again and again.

Alli was on fire as the sensations were everywhere at once,
her skin sensitive everywhere their bodies touched. Every square inch was
trembling as their orgasms built.

Like fire being steadily stoked until the inevitable flame
burst forth from both of them, Alli constricting almost painfully around Finn’s
shaft brought forth a huge stream of cum, shooting straight into Alli’s
welcoming pussy. Mixing, melting into each other, both bodies an extension of
one soul, one heart, one breath.

Both halves of the same whole, both devastated at the
euphoria they gave each other.
