King of Tides (The Immortal Iron Brothers #3)

Chapter 32

On My Day Off

“ G ods, I’ll never get tired of you,” Ardan growls as he pounds into me from behind.

I look over my shoulder to find him watching my ass with so much lust on his face. I squeeze my pussy around him and watch as his eyes flick to me.

He bites back a sexy smile and lifts a brow at me. I repeat the action, pulling a deep groan from him as he throws his head back and tightens his grip on my hips.

My thighs begin to shake. I end up on my toes as I try to lift away from him. It’s no use as he grabs my hair and chases my pussy down to keep thrusting.

I end up face down with my ass half in the air as he pounds down into me. I’m so wet you can hear the sound of his strokes echoing through the room. As I try to crab crawl away from him, he grabs my thighs and pulls me back to him, holding my legs open like the handlebars to his bike as he continues to fuck the shit out of me.

“Ardan, holy shit, I’m coming,” I scream into the mattress.

As if I’m not already wet enough and already quaking from my orgasm. He reaches beneath me to rub my clit and leans into my ear to growl, sending the vibration through me. My belly drops, I begin to squirt all over the place, and I can’t help screaming nonsense.

“So good,” Ardan groans and pulls out to tap his dick on my ass.

He leans over me to pepper kisses against my shoulder. Slowly, he turns me over and dips his head to take my sweaty breast into his mouth. He releases that one and moves to the other, licking his tongue across my mound before taking my nipple and a large part of my flesh into his mouth.

“Mm,” I moan and run my hand through his sweat-soaked hair.

“Have you had enough? Can you take more?” He breathes against my lips after letting my breast pop free of his mouth.

It’s my day off and we both decided to spend a lazy morning in bed. What started out as a playful conversation while we lay in each other’s arms turned into a hot-as-fuck sex session.

I allow him into my thoughts because I can’t speak coherent words just yet. I suck in a breath between my teeth as he sinks into me and reaches to lace our fingers together. My eyes roll back in my head.

“Does this answer your question? Can you see what your future looks like now?” he rumbles in my ear.

“Yes,” I moan out.

I wrap my legs around his hips and start to circle mine. Clinging to his hands, I lift my face to his so we can kiss. My pussy jumps as the cool peppermint flavor bursts in my mouth.

“It’s your day off. What the fuck do they want?” Ardan growls when my ringtone for work goes off.

I laugh although I was thinking the same thing. I go to free my hand to call the phone to me, but he tightens his hold on my fingers and begins to dive deeper into my wet pussy.

“Don’t answer it,” he says, looking me deeply in the eyes.

For a moment, I think not to. All the talk about me not having to work takes over. I think of Beck and Bourne. What if I had time to go see them? How are they?

I think of having my own children and that’s when I come back to my senses. Ardan groans in defeat and drops his head to my shoulder. I think he’s going to release me and allow me to answer, but he rolls onto his back as he remains inside me.

I look down at him and shake my head as he continues to guide my hips over him. Holding out my hand, I allow the phone to land in my palm. Right as I go to answer, Ardan hits my G-spot.

“Hello,” I answer the call, then clear my throat. “Hello, this is Detective Salvado.”

“Salvado, I want you in my office within the hour,” Captain Gates barks and hangs up.

I pull the phone from my ear and look down at it with my brows knit. Ardan tightens his hold on my waist and begins to thrust up into me. I drop the phone and cover his hands on my hips with my hands.

“Oh my god. Ardan, we need to stop. I have to go,” I plead.

“I’m not letting you go until you understand you can walk away and be happy.”

“It will take me at least an hour to get across town at this hour.”

“I’ll get you there in seconds.”

Stupid me, I think he’s talking about my orgasm. I should have known better. I’m nearly delirious from sex by the time he allows me to get ready to head into the precinct.

Why do I feel like I’m about to get Craigged?

Ardan

“That was total bullshit,” Billy growls as we step back into the clubhouse.

I took her to the station on the back of my bike using magic sense I didn’t give her much time to get ready or to travel. I have no regrets.

She was glowing until that asshole suspended her for much of nothing. A fool could hear the bullshit spewing out of her captain’s mouth. I can feel how pissed she is, and she has every right to be, but I can make a call to fix this.

“Don’t worry about it. I’ll have your badge and gun back by the morning. I can get you a transfer if you want. Just say the word,” I say as I rub the back of her neck as we ride up in the elevator.

She blows out a frustrated breath. “You know, I know it’s bullshit and I should fight it, but I can’t say I really care. I mean, there should be more to life than trying to put Candido behind bars and hunting down real-life demons.”

“Whoever told you demons aren’t real?”

“You know what I mean.” She wraps her arms around my waist. “Maybe you did convince me to be your nasty little bed doll. You can dress me up and fuck me whenever you want. No more hiding all night in my jewelry.

“You can push me up against any surface and have your way with me, day or night. We can put our playroom to use,” she purrs and reaches to grab my throbbing cock.

You would think I didn’t spend the morning inside her tight pussy. I twitch against her palm as she squeezes me.

“I love the way you think, but I know you wouldn’t be happy, not like this. Let me fix this for you,” I say as I look down into her eyes and run my finger down the side of her face.

Her eyes glaze over in thought. On one hand, I want to fix this for her. On the other, I want her to give it up and find something else she loves.

“Ardan, you are needed here in Japan,” Kenji mind-links me.

“Why? What’s going on?” I reply.

“It’s the source stone. There was an attempt to take it.”

“Was it successful?”

“No, they didn’t stand a chance against my assassins. However, I don’t think this will be the only attempt. They could have been testing the waters to see how far they could get. I believe you should be here the next time.”

“I will be there soon. Thank you, old friend. There is much I need to discuss with you anyway.”

“I will be waiting. It’s been too long. I hear you have a mate. Congratulations. We will catch up when you arrive.”

“What’s wrong? What just happened?” Billy says with concern as she searches my face.

I open my mind for her to read my thoughts, not having time to explain it all and not wanting to alarm her. Then I wrap an arm around her waist to teleport us to Kendrick’s room where I can feel him. I need to let him know what’s going on and ask him to watch over my mate while I’m gone.

Billy gasps in my hold. “You want to leave me behind?”

“You have work. Dracon can watch over you while I’m gone.”

“I’m suspended, remember?”

I race into Kendrick’s room as I hear a commotion happening inside.

“Kendrick,” I call.

My brother is in bed with his mate and the little light fairy he and his mate were gifted. A sour look comes to Kendrick’s face. I know right away he knows I don’t have good news.

“What’s going on?”

“I need to leave,” I inform him as my thoughts race.

This isn’t good. When we thought it was just Bradan’s stone, that was one thing. Now to have mine targeted is a clear sign someone has knowledge of the sources of power, and they are after them.

“To go where?” Kendrick asks, pulling me from my thoughts.

“Japan.”

I don’t need to say more. He can read between the lines. I don’t want to alarm Billy or the other two with more information than necessary.

“Is it gone?” Kendrick growls out, proving I’m right.

“No, Kenji and the assassins held firm. However, he doesn’t believe this will be the only attempt.”

To be honest, I agree. I wouldn’t put it past the hunters to try again if this was indeed them. They haven’t come after Billy again, but I am always with her. I can’t say that would be the wisest thing to do.

“Go and take Billy with you,” Kendrick says.

I open my mouth to protest, but I take the look Kendrick is giving me for what it is. It’s a command, not a suggestion. Guilt from the one time in my life that I didn’t listen to my brother consumes me.

“She is your mate. She belongs with you,” he says.

I know he is absolutely right, only solidifying my guilt. We were enslaved because I didn’t follow instructions and look where that got us. Kendrick has enough on his plate. It’s not fair for me to ask him to watch over my mate while I go to Japan.

I close my mouth and nod. “Very well. She has been suspended from work, so it’s doable.”

“You didn’t have to tell my business like that. Thanks,” Billy says through our link.

She’s been angry with me. I could feel it ever since she realized I hadn’t intended to take her with me.

“Suspended?” Kendrick says.

“Long story and I don’t have time. Rock can take my place helping Reilly with the hunters.”

I’ve been literally splitting myself in two to help with the search. Rock is a good tracker, and he can give more of his undivided attention than I can.

“I will work on finding out who released Seraphina and how she was able to get away. Sounds like we might need to have a lockdown. No humans and no supers who aren’t patched in. Old ladies only,” he says.

“Wait, just wait a darn minute,” Ray cuts in. “Everyone, slow down. I’m still stuck on Bradan walking in here with flaming hair and hands. Then my little sister runs in here looking like a little flame before returning to her cute little self.

“This is too much. Who the heck is Kenji and can I be a flame too?” Ray says.

She successfully lifts the tension from the room, bringing a smile to my lips. My interest is piqued. So Taylor can transform. I wonder what that means for Billy.

Bradan turns and leaves with Taylor under his arm. He pats me on the shoulder as he walks by. I’ll have to ask him later what happened and how Taylor transformed. For now, I know him well enough to give him time and space.

“I will call you when we get there,” Billy says to Ray.

I grab her by the hand to lead her from the room. We have a lot to talk about. Kenji’s jodo will be a whole new world. I have my reasons for wanting to leave her behind.
