Chapter 64
Gonzalo
POV
"She's lying about what?" I said, somewhat defensively. I had already doubted her once, and it had cost me 200 years with her. I wasn't about to make the same mistake twice.
"She's been holding back," Helios said, his eye twinkling, and motioned to the open door. I looked in to see Kassie focused on her prey. I don't think she's realized no one's helping her anymore. She's fighting 5 people on her own. She is efficient and precise and Helios was right, she'd been holding back. Dario was purring in the back of my head as we watched her dodge a swing by bending backwards, her hands touching the floor, using the momentum to kick the man in the jaw with her foot, turn mid air and hitting another with her other foot as she righted herself and headbutt the man behind her.
"Yeah, I want a rematch. I don't want a pity win." Helios said behind me, his voice full of humor. We watched Kassie deal with the last guard. She looked around and saw that there was no one else to fight and finally saw us at the door. "Where to next?" She asked.
Theo snorted and his eyes glazed over. "It looks like we're all good. Sebastian is finishing the last room and the rest are taking the guards over to the shifters so we can put them in the cages before we leave. Just clean up left, Misses Beta's Assassin." He said once his eyes cleared.
I watched in fascination as her expression went to disappointment and then an adorable blush spread across her face at Theo's words. Instead of making a fool of myself in the middle of a mission, I chose to focus on her first emotion. "Why are you disappointed?" "I'm not. I mean, I just thought there would be more fighting." She shrugged, trying to hide her blush.
Helios' laughter exploded across the whole room, "You single-handedly incapacitated over 30 people. I sent the rest of the group over to Sebastian when I realized you didn't need any help. The only reason Theo and I stayed was in case you needed a hand and to get a better gauge of your actual fighting skills. All we've done is tie people up after you've left a room." He chuckled again, "Yeah, I definitely want a rematch and you better not hold back."
"I don't know what you're talking about, Alpha," Kassie blushed even deeper.
"Mhmm. I'm going to go get Nat and take her to the shifters. You guys can finish tying up all these guys. I'll send Paul and Nicholas to help. You guys can take a break afterwards. We'll finish with the rest of it."
"It's OK. I'm not tired. I'd like to help with the rescued shifters and vampires." Kassie said, grabbing a bunch of zip ties and making quick work of the people in the room. I think I understand why. No one helped her when she was taken. She never told anyone. She wanted to make sure they didn't go through what she did alone.
Helios seemed to understand as well, because he nodded at us and left. We headed off following Theo, who was no doubt following the scent and pull of the mate bond.
We helped get another 10 wolves, 1 bear and 3 vampires onto the bus. Thankfully, most were aware that we were here to help and not in the worst condition. The oldest one had only been there for about two years and they didn't seem to beat them as much as the other places did. That was the good news. The bad news was there were about 10 half-burnt vampires in the morgue and we suspected the only reason the vampire we found was still alive was because, according to them, they'd only been kidnapped 10 days ago and they had so far only taken their blood for testing.
Kassie still seemed wound up as we got back on the buses. We were headed to the outskirts of the city to a motel I had found. It was slightly seedy, which helped in case we had trouble with the rescued shifters. We were pulling out extra blankets and blackout curtains from under the bus when Theo pulled up. "So, are you two OK with sharing a room? It has two beds, but we don't have any other rooms. They are full." I froze. Did I want to spend the night with Kassie? f**k yes I did. Was I going to be able to keep my hands to myself for long? That, I didn't know. And what about Kassie? Would she be OK with this? "If you guys still need time, I can switch with one of you, but we only have a single bed, so one of you will have to sleep on the couch." Theo added as he read my face. "We'll be fine with the room. Thanks, Gamma Theo," Kassie answered as she handed another set of blankets and a pair of blackout curtains to another vampire.
"It's just Theo, Kassie and thank you. Here's the key." He said as he handed me a key card. I took it and put it in my pocket.
After everything was done, we grabbed a set of blackout curtains, blankets and our backpacks and headed to the room. I opened the door and let her in. I closed the door behind me and was caught by surprise when Kassie slammed me against the door and kissed me. I responded, grabbing her a*s and picking her up. She was almost a full head taller than me, so this allowed us to be more eye-level.
I don't mind her being taller. It puts us at eye level with those lovely freckled t**s -Dario purred as he wagged his tail in the back of my head.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
I walked her hanging onto me without breaking the kiss to the bed, where I sat with her straddling me. I released her lips and looked into her eyes and concern quickly overcame my l**t. She looked afraid, her violet eyes flashing back and forth to red.
"What's wrong, Kassie?" I asked her. She shook her head and tucked her head into my neck. I held her close and rubbed soothing circles on the small of her back. She didn't talk for over 10 minutes. Dario was pacing circles in my head. He didn't like the emotions we could feel rolling off of her. Fear and heartache. "Talk to me," I begged her.
"I'm broken Lalo. I am no different from all the people you rescued today. Except for the fact that they have a chance to recover. 23 years of trying to fix what's broken inside me. I am afraid you'll figure out I won't make a good mate and reject me," the pain in her voice was breaking my heart.
I moved her to sit on the bed and retrieved my backpack from where I dropped it and grabbed what I was looking for. I went back to the bed and returned her to my lap. "What happened to you wasn't fair, but it doesn't matter to me when I think about you. Your condition does not define you. We will figure out what happened to you. We will figure out how to fix it or how to help you deal with it. We have missed 200 years together already, Kassie. I missed you each and every single day despite my best efforts and all I want to do right now is sew you to my side so you can never leave me again." I put the coral ring back on her finger. She looked at it and smiled before she wiped her teary face. She stood, and I was going to complain, when she reached into her pants pocket and brought out the wire ring I'd given back to her at the airport.
"Tit for tat. If I wear it, so will you." I chuckled and put the wire ring back on my finger. I always told her I hated wearing jewelry, but I secretly loved the fact that she wanted to make sure people knew I was hers. I grabbed her and flipped her over so that she was on the bed trapped below me. I trapped her lips with mine as I delved into her mouth. Her nails raked down my back and my shirt fell forward on my arms. I c****d an eyebrow. "What? You said it yourself. We've missed 200 years. Start making it up to me, Mr. Assassin's Beta." She bit her bottom lip and felt her hands gripping my a*s.
"Is that a challenge princess?" I stood slightly as I removed the tattered pieces of my shirt and allowed her to look her fill.
"No." she answered, licking her lips as her eyes traced my abs. She met my eyes, her violet eyes shining with lust. "It's a request."
Dario howled in happiness in my head and I raked my claws down the middle of her shirt and sports bra. She gasped as the cool air hit her chest and I smirked, "Tit for tat."
She threw her head back and laughed, her perky mounds pushing upwards, demanding my attention. I quickly obliged, turning her laugh into a moan as I took her rose bud into my mouth. I pulled on it, remembering like it was yesterday how she liked to be loved. I could feel myself getting painfully hard and I began to ground my length against her to feel some friction. I kissed my way through the freckles leading to her other breast. How I wanted to kiss every single one of them. I bit the little bud before I licked around the bud to soothe the pain away. "Gonzalo please. Don't tease me. I want to feel you inside me," She cried out.
I felt my c**k twitch at her words and I tore her jeans off her legs shortly before I buried my face between her legs. Her soft cries had always made my control snap, turning me into a primitive beast with only one objective, to coax her sweet juices from her core. I inserted a finger into her weeping core and almost came at how deliciously tight her walls felt as they tried to milk my finger. I licked circles around her clit as I slowly pumped my finger in and out of her. When I heard her whimper, I took her throbbing little nub into my mouth and inserted a second finger to join the first. Her hand fisted in my hair as she tried to pull it from her clit as I nibbled on her nub. Harder and faster in rhythm with my fingers. I felt her o****m was close when her legs clamped on my head. This beautiful assassin was trying to kill me, but what a way to go. The release of her o****m covered my hand and I pulled my fingers and licked them clean.
"So sweet," I whispered before my lust consumed me and I dove back in to lick her dry until she pulled at my arms and whimpered. I got up and removed my jeans quickly. I took my p***s and set it at her entrance, pushing my swollen head into her folds. I hissed with pressure as she pushed upwards, and I felt her heated core wrap around the head. I grabbed her hands and interlaced our fingers together.
"I've missed you," I croaked, unable to contain the emotion in my voice, as I pushed my hips forward and entered her to the hilt. Her violet eyes looked into mine and I could see the gathering tears in them. I pull back, before pushing back in, savoring the way her tight walls wrapped around my c**k. "Kassie," I moan into her lips. She moans as I pulled back and it's music to my ears. "You feel even better than I remember." I groan as I begin to pick up the pace. I'm so deep inside her and I wished I never had to leave her heated embrace. I pull almost all the way out and then slam forward. She tilts her head back and screams, leaving her neck in full view. I want to mark her, I think, as I feel my teeth elongating and the thought has me picking up speed as I bend down and begin sucking on her neck. She bucks her hips and moans.
"Lalo please," She moans. I'm so close to coming undone.
Don't. It's not the right time - Dario warns, forcing my canines to retract.
I groan, sucking on her skin until it leaves a hickey. I can feel her walls clenching my c**k. I lose control of myself and begin to pump into her with more force. "Come for me." I order her and lean back a little to shift the angle. She screams again as she comes and her core milks my c**k. I shudder as I feel my c**k pulsing ropes of c*m into her, her own and mine leaking out as I finish with a final thrust. I dropped on top of her before grabbing her waist and rolling us both over so she was lying on top of me. Our breathing evened out as I tried to make sense of Dario's warning in the haze of my euphoria.
My little seductress has other ideas, however, and she begins to kiss my jaw and neck. I felt my c**k twitch inside her and felt her smile against my neck as she continued to seduce my c**k back to life. I growl approvingly as she begins to grind against me. She sits up, looking down at me with her violet eyes full of want. She lifts up and we both moan as she slides back down onto my c**k. I try to cup her breasts but she swats my hands away, shaking her head. sweat-soaked strands sticking to her brow as it shakes. I growl and trail my hands along her legs and up her stomach and she swats them away again.
"Let me take you," she said. Her eyes flash red for a moment before turning back to their striking violet. "Lean back and watch me ride you," she demands, putting a hand on my chest. I fist my hands on the bedsheets, acquiescing to her demands. Kassie didn't use to be demanding and I found this change so f*****g hot. It was an excruciating yet delicious torture, not being able to control the speed. Not touching her body. Whenever my hands would leave the sheets and tried to touch her, she would stop moving, making me groan in frustration. All I could do was watch with hooded eyes as the beads of sweat rolled down her body. I want to lick her t**s clean of their salty moisture.
"Kassie, please" I begged. The blankets were being torn apart beneath us. She giggled, and I lost my last tether of control. I sat up, pushing her on her back. I grabbed her roughly and flipped her over onto all fours. I gripped her hips and she gasped as I pushed back into her p***y roughly. I pumped into her in a punishing rhythm. Her moans got louder with each thrust until she was almost screaming and yet she didn't ask me to stop. The sound of my pelvis slapping into her backside was driving me insane and I slapped her a*s as I felt myself about to come. She screamed my name as she came, taking me with her over the edge.
We laid in bed for a little while as our breathing evened out. I could feel her contentment through the bond we were beginning to repair, making my heart soar at the connection.
"That was a relief," she mumbled.
I chuckled and felt her cuddle closer as she draped herself over me, "I was hoping for mind-blowing, but I'll take what I can get. I'll be sure to up my game next time." I kissed her hair, "Why was it a relief?"
"I wasn't sure if it would trigger my seizures," she said.
I stilled at her words. Guilt instantly consuming me. I hadn't thought about that at all. "I'm sorry Kassie, I didn't even think of that. I should have waited."
"I'm pretty sure I'm the one that jumped you." She smiled down at me.
I smiled back as tension eased from me and brought my hand up to caress her face. "Bold looks good on you."
We laid there for a moment before we went to the shower. It was small and uncomfortable, though we still tried to make the best of it. She moaned as I washed her breasts thoroughly. Unfortunately, when I pushed her closer to the wall, her head ended up hitting the cheap low shower head. The damn thing was too low.
"s**t, are you OK?" I asked as I tried to check her head for injury.
She laughed, "I'm fine, but I don't think we're going to get much done in here."
We finished the shower and headed back to bed. I put the blackout curtains up and, for good measure, the itchy motel blankets. She cuddled up next to me again. The bed was stiff but she assured me she'd slept in worse places. I was just infinitely content to have her in my arms. I could have been sleeping on stone and I would have been in paradise. My arm was wrapped around her waist and I drew lazy circles on her back.
"Are you still awake?" I asked about twenty minutes later.
"Yes," she said slowly, like she knew what was coming. The conversation we still had pending.
