.Drake glanced from Mel to Gina, and nodded. Go get her.Gina slid from the edge of the bed and went to the door.She opened it and a willowyteenage strode into the room and went straight to Drake s bedside. Turned into a major klutz, didn t you? she said as she looked down at him.Mel s chest got tight and her breath caught in her throat.She knew instantly it wasNadya, she could sense the shape-shifter blood in her. Ahh, it s not that major, squirt, Drake said with a crooked smile.When his handwrapped around hers Mel realized she d stepped closer to the bed without evenknowing it. This is Melissa, the woman I told you about.Mel, this is Nadya.Silence fell as they stared at each other for a minute.Mel had to struggle to breathe asshe watched Nadya look her up and down with guarded eyes. So you re the big dealshape-shifter, eh? Come to teach me a thing or two? Nadya, Jewel said sharply from by the door.Until that moment Mel hadn t even known Jewel was in the room.It didn t matterthough; she ignored everyone else and focused on the teenager in front of her.Instinct told Mel now was not the time to mention that chances were good they werehalf-sisters. I m a pureblood shape-shifter, yes.I m also a descendent of the royal family thatonce ruled our kind.Would you like to learn your father s history? I don t really care about the history, I prefer to live in the present. She cocked herhead to the side. I d like to learn what sort of powers I have.You can teach me aboutthose, right?Mel felt the magic push in her brain and bit back a smile. Then you ll learn yourhistory, too.Nadya s eye s narrowed. You re here to teach me about my powers.There was another mental push and Mel let a cocky smile of her own curl her lips. Your mental push won t work on me, Nadya.If you want to learn about your powers,you need to learn about your history.They go hand in hand. Does that mean you re going to stick around a while and teach me? There was ahopeful gleam in Nadya s eyes, even though her brows had pulled into a small scowl.Mel cast a sidelong glance at Drake, remembering what he d told her about the wayshe was raised.He s hinted at Mel going back to Chadwick right away, but there wasno way she was going to leave without reassuring the tough teen in front of her thatshe wasn t alone. I ll stick around for a while.Confusion reigned within Melissa for two days.She spent her days with Nadya.They went over the history and culture of purebloodshape-shifters in the morning, then after lunch they played with magic.The teenagerwas powerful, way more than Mel had expected. You re sure your mom wasn t magical in some way? she s asked Nadya thatafternoon. I didn t know my mom at all.Jewel says even though Mom never admitted to anymagic, she thinks she had some, though. It would explain why you re already so strong.Nadya pouted. If I m so strong, why can t I shift?Mel explained again that in order to shift, she had to make a connection with whatevershe wanted to shift into.The teenager had high emotional walls and struggled withhow to make a connection to an animal.Part of Mel wanted to suggest she try to shift into Jewel, someone Nadya had a clearconnection with.After all, it was physically easier to shift to another human instead ofan animal, but it was psychologically harder.It could mess with her mind if shewasn t prepared for it.And it might not be too smart to encourage a precocious underage teenager to shiftinto a fully adult form.The time would come, and even if Nadya was in a rush,Melissa wasn t.Well, not in a rush with Nadya s training anyway, she thought as she strode down thecorridor of the medical wing.Drake was another story.Due to the surgery on his leg, Drake was confined to his bed, for five days.She dspent the evenings with him, but everytime she tried to bring the conversation aroundto what was next for them, he distracted her with drugging kisses until she had toleave or climb on top of him and risk re-injuring his leg.But she was done tiptoeing around the subject of their relationship.She wantedanswers. We need to talk, she said the second the door to his room closed behind her.Drake gut clenched.Those words never meant good news. Are you okay? he asked, taking Melissa s hand when she stopped next to his bed.Christ, he hated being stuck in that fucking bed! I m fine, Melissa said. I m just wondering how long I should stick around here.The tone of her voice made it feel like a question, but Drake wasn t sure if she meantit that way.He dropped his shields and reached out, frustrated that he still couldn t get a read fromher.Things would be so much simpler if he could knew what she was feeling.Did shewant to stay with him? Did she want to go back to Chadwick and the life she d hadbefore he ever set foot in her town? He hated the insecurity running through him, andfor the first time in his life he resented not being able to sense someone else semotions.One surefire way to know what she was feeling, was to make her feel it.He ran hishand up her arm and tugged her closer to the bed so he could run his hand over thecurve of her firm ass. You can stick around as long as you want, he said with asmile. Drake. She slapped at his hand, but a familiar gleam sparked in her eyes. Do youwant me to stick around?He cupped the back of her neck and pulled her to him.His lips met hers and he putevery ounce of desire into the kiss.He wanted her to stay.He wanted her to stayforever.She moaned, and pushed against his chest, but he held her tight.He didn t ever wantto let her go, and he had to show her that!Stroking her tongue with his, he savored the taste of her.One hand cupped her asswhile his other hand smoothed over her waist and ribs to cup a heavy breast throughher sweater. God, you feel so good. So do you, she said as his lips trailed over her jaw and down to her neck.He nipped at her neck, sucked on her earlobe and rubbed the rigid nipple pokingagainst his hand. Drake, she whispered. We need to talk. We can talk later, he said.Right now I want to touch you.I need to touch you, baby,to please you.She shuddered against him and he spun her in his arms.Twisting slightly he held herback to him as one hand slid under her sweater and the other unsnapped her jeans.Hetucked his chin against her shoulder and spoke into her ear as his hand slid into herpants.Two fingers slid through her creamy folds and right into her tight pussy.She gaspedand he groaned. You feel so good, baby.So right.We re a perfect fit, you and I.You re always readyfor me, aren t you? Christ, I wish I could bury my cock in your warmth.His cock throbbed with his desire, but he ignored it.The need to please her, to showher how much she meant to him was foremost in his brain, and all that mattered washer pleasure.He thrust his fingers deep, curling them when she shuddered and gasped.The heal ofhis hand rubbed against the hard button of her clit and her hips started to rock with hismovements.Her panting breaths echoed through the room and his heart soared at theway she trembled in his arms. That s it, baby.Come for me [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
