Fae- Beginnings Page 6
Mor nodded. “Okay. Okay.” She took a deep breath and wiped the tears from her face. “Drink first.”
Chapter 6
Atreyu
Atreyu watched Mor walk out the back door of his family home. The army - such as it was - was camped in the fields behind the house. They didn’t have nearly enough fighters if what Adair said was right. Atreyu frowned as he surveyed their camp. Tents were laid out in neat circles. Four Fae in a tent, six tents to a circle, and they had thirty circles. Only seven hundred and twenty fighters. Adair had said the lands around the palace were filled.
Most of those would be untrained fighters, but still. Their own fighters wouldn’t want to hurt them and that would lead to heavy losses on their side. Atreyu wasn’t a planner like Ben, but even he knew they would need more help. He only hoped that Mor could pull it off. For now, he needed to make sure Mor made it through the next few hours. She had been raised to be a figure head, a trophy. And now she was expected to be a leader. He knew it had been rough on her, but Mor was a fighter even if she wasn’t totally sure of that yet.
He watched Ben take her hand and put it in the crook of his elbow like the queen that she was. He’d thought it would be weird watching his mate with someone else. While he had logically known that his mate would be shared, Atreyu had never been really comfortable with that. But watching Mor with his brothers? He felt an unexpected relief that she would have someone with her always. Especially since everything had gone to shit since finding her. Ben had led her to the camp closest to the house and was introducing her to the Fae sitting around the fire. He could see Mor hesitate at first. When she glanced back at him, Atreyu walked up and wrapped an arm around her.
She glanced up at him before turning to talk to the Fae sitting around the fire. Her voice was soft when she said, “It’s so nice to meet you all.”
Atreyu smiled down at her before looking at the people gathered around the fire. Spotting an old friend, Atreyu said, “Samantha! I didn’t know you were here!”
“Atreyu! I thought you were in the human world!”
“I was!” He pulled Mor in closer. “Until we found Mor.” He looked up at Samantha. “May I present my mate, Her Majesty, Mor.”
Samantha smiled and reached out a hand to her. “It’s so nice to meet you. This has got to be overwhelming.”
“It’s definitely something,” Mor said ruefully. She sighed. “Thank you for being here, even though you don’t know me.”
“We know Atreyu’s family, and if they say you’re good then you’re good.”
Atreyu smiled as Mor started to loosen up and really talk with the Fae standing around the fire. He wandered to the edge of the circle and waited until Samantha was able to disengage herself from the conversation. She had helped with introductions and easing Mor into the group. Atreyu smiled as she made her way over to him. “Thanks for helping ease her in.”
She stood next to him and smiled over at where Mor stood laughing with the others. “She is something special.” Glancing at him from the side, she continued, “So your mate is the queen. Who the fuck would have expected that?”
“Who the fuck would have expected me to find my mate?”
Samantha shook her head. “After what happened, I’m surprised you were open enough to allow it.”
Atreyu smiled ruefully. “It’s been long enough now that I can see what happened.”
“Does she know?”
He sighed. “Not yet. But we’re going to have to talk about it.” He watched as Mor followed Ben to the next group. “We’re going to need more help and she refuses to conscript.”
Samantha’s jaw dropped. “Are you going to the Pendragons?”
He sighed. “Fire and Water have joined with a human mage. One that supposedly killed the rest of the royal family and stole their powers.” He held up a hand. “No, I don’t know how that’s possible or if it’s just the ramblings of a pyscho. Either way, he is incredibly powerful and has succeeded in gaining allies here in Fae.”
“Fuck.”
“Yep.”
She was silent for a moment as they walked slowly behind where the others were making their way through the different camps. “You’re going to have to send Mor.” She didn’t wait for acknowledgement, just kept going, “Which means all four of you are going and you’re only going to take a small group. I’d like to be part of it.” Now she did pause as she looked up at him. “You’re going to need someone you can trust that can go everywhere with Mor. You know as well as I do that you four will not be able to be with her in all situations. But I can be. And I know what to expect from that psychotic bitch.”
“So do my brothers.”
“But again - there are times a male isn’t welcome.” Samantha didn’t say anything else as they kept walking.
Atreyu groaned and ran a frustrated hand through his hair. “I hate that you’re probably right. Fine. You’ll be on the team. Make up a list of who else we should bring.”
She grinned slyly at him. “I knew you’d see it my way.”
Rolling his eyes, Atreyu said, “Well, when it makes sense. Unlike that time you tried to convince me we should go swimming in the winter. After breaking through the ice.” He grinned down at her. “What was that reason you gave? Oh yeah. That the ice would keep the water warm.”
“That was when we were kids! You fucking punk.” Samantha punched his arm and grinned.
“Whatever you say. What about that one time - “
Samantha yelled and jumped on Atreyu, laughing as she tried to take him out. Pretty quickly Samantha had him on the ground and in a choke hold. He tried to get out, but she had him good. “Dammit, I yield!”
She let him go with a triumphant yell, “Thats fucking right you do!” She stood over him and held a hand out to him, laughing as she pulled him to his feet.
“You always were sneaky.” Atreyu chuckled. Brushing himself off, he looked up to see Mor standing with her mouth hanging open.
“She beat you.”
“We’ve been friends since we were kids. She knows all my tricks. And she’s always been better than me.” He grinned.
Mor’s smile grew and Atreyu’s breath caught. She was so beautiful. “I love a man who can admit someone else is stronger.”
Atreyu pulled her into his arms and dipped her back, kissing her deeply. She moaned softly against his mouth and he smiled as he steadied her on her feet. “I think you just love me.” His voice was soft.
“I think you may be right.”
“I think we’ve been here long enough. What do you think?” He licked his lips as he stared down at her. His mate.
Mor’s eyes were hooded as they traced path of his tongue. “I think so?”
Samantha cleared her throat, pulling Mor’s attention to her. “Your Majesty, perhaps it would be good to come down here nightly prior to your departure.”
Glancing between Samantha and Atreyu, Mor said, “You know?”
“I would trust Samantha with your life, my queen. She will be going with us and will assist in selecting the troops we take with us.”
Mor smiled. “I’m glad you’ll be coming with us. You can help me keep the guys in line.”
A laugh burst out of Samantha. “I look forward to it, Your Majesty!”
Mor grimaced and glanced around. “When we’re in private, please don’t call me that. My name is Mor.”
Surprise crossed Samantha’s face. “Are you sure?”
“Absolutely!” She hooked a thumb at where Ben, Max, and Sebastian were standing. “They all say I have to in public but it just feels - wrong. Not me.”
“As you wish, Your Majesty.” She winked at Mor. “Now, I think that we should let your mates take you home. Atreyu is giving you looks.”
Atreyu ran his hands up Mor’s side and then pulled her into his arms, turning and walking off while Mor laughed. “See you later, Samantha!” he tossed over his shoulder.
“In a hurry?”
“Oh definitely. We’ve been so busy and I
really need you.” He kissed her as he strode inside. When they reached their suite, Atreyu let Mor slide down his front. His eyes flicked up as Max slid up behind Mor and bent down to kiss her neck. “Coming to play with us?”
“Do you mind?”
“Not at all. It’ll be fun making her scream.” Atreyu pulled Mor into the room.
As soon as they were in the room, Max slipped his hands up Mor’s sides and took her shirt with him. “I need to see you, Mor.”
Atreyu grinned. “I love this.” He traced a finger along the edge of the lace of her bra. He dropped to his knees. “Still too many clothes.” He unbuttoned her pants and pulled them down her legs and helped her step out of them. “And these.” He leaned forward and placed a kiss over the lace covering her mound. He looked up as Max slipped the bra off of her shoulders. “So beautiful.” Hooking his thumbs in the sides of her panties, he pulled them down her legs. He couldn’t take his eyes off of her. “Make sure you have her.” Without another word, he pulled one of her legs over his shoulder and slowly licked her slit. “So delicious.”
Mor moaned and tilted her hips toward him. Atreyu smiled and pulled her closer to him, moaning as he slipped his tongue inside her and then up to her clit. He moved up and down her, drinking her in as she moaned. He kept his eyes on her, watching as Max tweaked her nipples and kissed up her neck before swallowing her moans in a kiss. Atreyu groaned and slipped two fingers in her, starting off slow and increasing his pace as his tongue worked her clit.
Mor broke away from Max. “Oh please, please, Atreyu!”
Atreyu pumped his fingers harder, hooking them forward, making sure to hit just right, and sucked hard on her clit. She shouted and grabbed his hair, grinding against his face as she came. Fuck, she was so sexy. When she stopped pulsing around his fingers, Atreyu kissed his way up her body. By the time he reached her mouth, she was moaning again. He kissed her deeply and moved slowly backward until he felt the bed hit the back of his legs. He sat down, pulling her into his lap. Max knelt down behind her, his hands working her breasts.
“I love holding you while you come undone. Ready to do it again?” Max’s hand dipped between her legs and stroked her slit. Pulling his hand up, he gripped her hair and turned her to look back at him. Her eyes were glazed as he brought his fingers to his mouth and sucked them clean. She moaned and Atreyu pulled her forward, positioning her just over his cock. “I’m gonna hold you while you come on his cock, then I’m going to fuck you so I can feel you come on mine.” Atreyu held in a moan at his words. They’d shared women before, but this was on a different level.
Atreyu pulled her down hard, moaning as he slid in deep. Max kept hold of her hair, kissing her deeply as Atreyu started working her over his cock. He leaned forward, pulling a nipple hard into his mouth and tugging on it with his teeth. She arched into him. Max let her mouth go and kissed her neck, turning her head back toward Atreyu. He came off her nipple with a pop and claimed her mouth. She moaned into him and he felt her body tightening. Faster, he pounded into her. When she threw her head back on Max’s shoulder and shouted his name, he pulled her down hard, moaning as he felt her sheath pulse around him. Atreyu pumped twice more before stilling inside her and coming.
When they were both finished, Max pulled her off him. “My turn.” He looked at Atreyu. “Scoot back on the bed.”
Atreyu scooted back. He had a feeling Mor was going to get a taste of the controlling side of Max. He loved it when Max let go and he had a feeling that this time would be better than it had ever been. “Ready to play, sweetie?” When Mor nodded, he stepped back from her. “Good girl. Get on all fours over Atreyu.” When she didn’t move fast enough, Max smacked her ass, making her jump and move forward. When she got down on her hands and knees, her face was right over Atreyu’s cock. When she looked down and licked her lips, his cock twitched.
The bed dipped as Max knelt behind Mor. He dragged his hand down her spine, making her back arch. “Do you want to play, sweet Mor? If you don’t, tell me to stop.”
Atreyu could see that her eyes were hooded with lust. She turned to look at Max over her shoulder. “I want to play.”
“Such a good girl.” He pushed down on her shoulders. “Why don’t you clean him up with your tongue?” Mor let out a little gasp and let him push her forward. When her tongue darted out, Atreyu groaned. “Hold her hair, Atreyu. Make sure she gets all of it.” Max just watched, stroking her back as Mor worked. He dragged her hand down her back to her ass and then to her slit. Mor moaned as his hand slipped between her legs. Atreyu bet he was sliding his finger in her now as she sped up her licking. His cock was getting hard again and his hand tightened in her hair.
“You’re almost ready for me, my sweet girl. When you get him ready, I promise I’ll fuck you until you come.”
Mor moaned and pulled Atreyu into her mouth. “Fuck, beautiful, yes,” he groaned and flexed his hips up, trying not to pull her face onto him.
“That’s it, sweet girl.” Max gripped her hips and slammed into her. “Make him feel good while I make you come.” Atreyu couldn’t pull his eyes from the sight of Mor sliding her mouth up and down his cock. When she moaned, Max said, “Will you let Atreyu fuck your face, sweet girl?”
She came off Atreyu and smiled wickedly at him. “Yes, please.”
Max picked up his pace and Atreyu pulled her face back down to him. “That’s it, beautiful.” He moved her head up and down, transfixed by the sight of her.
“Are you ready to come, sweet girl? I need to feel you come on my cock.” One of Max’s hand slipped in front of Mor. She moaned and sucked harder on Atreyu. “That’s it, let go, Mor.”
“I’m going to come.” Atreyu loosened his hand in her hair, giving control back to her and letting her choose. She pushed down farther on him and sucked, hard. “Fuck!” Atreyu shouted and came. Mor moaned hard around him and sucked every bit out of him.
“Fuck, Mor, my sweet girl. You feel so good. Fuck!” Max stilled in her and Atreyu knew he had climaxed too. He bent forward, kissing her back. “Sweet girl, you surprised me.” He pulled back, and pulled her to the side and onto Atreyu’s chest, wrapping his body around her.
Her voice was sleepy. “How did I surprise you?”
“I wasn’t sure you’d play with me.” Max sighed and nuzzled the back of Mor’s neck.
“I liked your playing. Let’s do it again sometime.” She wiggled against them and then yawned.
Atreyu chuckled and kissed the top of her head. “Later, beautiful. Sleep now.” She sighed and nestled into them. Atreyu glanced at Max, finding him already asleep. He sighed in contentment and let sleep pull him under.
* * *
The next morning, Atreyu woke to Mor still wrapped around him. He kissed the top of her head. Max and the others weren’t there, giving him time with her. He rubbed her back slowly, waiting for her to wake up. When she yawned and blinked up at him he said, “Good morning, beautiful. How are you feeling?”
“Delicious.” She smiled up at him. “I can feel you now. All four of you.”
“What are you feeling from me?”
“Happiness, contentment…love?”
“I do love you.”
Her grin grew shy and Atreyu was stunned when she whispered back, “I love you, too. It’s weird for me, though. I know that you grew up expecting to find and fall for your mate quickly, but I don’t really understand it.”
“It’s ok, beautiful. Just know that we’ve got you.”
“I know.” She sat up and stretched. “What are we doing today?”
“I know you’re going to love this, but we’re going to train with the army today.”
She groaned, “Why do you want to torture me? I thought you loved me!”
He laughed. “It’ll be good for you to train with someone besides us. And it’ll give the army a chance to see you as you.”
“Fine. I’ll get dressed.” She stomped into the bathroom.
Atreyu laughed and stood with a stretc
h. Just as he stood, Sebastian walked in holding a cup of coffee. “I take it our darling is up?”
“Up and grumpy! Get her the coffee, fast. She wasn’t super thrilled with the training plan.”
“Astonishing.” Sebastian’s voice was dry as he headed toward the bathroom. “She really does hate training.” He disappeared into the bathroom and came back out a moment later. “She’ll feel better after she drinks that.”
“I’m going to get dressed. See you for breakfast?” When Sebastian nodded, Atreyu went into the bathroom. Mor was in the shower and he forced himself not to look. If he looked, he would join her and then they would be late to breakfast and training. Had to get to training.
“You joining me?”
Atreyu looked up to see Mor watching him from under the streaming water. Fuck it, they could all wait. His mate wanted him.
Chapter 7
Mor
Mor couldn’t keep the smile off of her face as she walked back to the house after training. Her shower with Atreyu had been an amazing way to start the day. And training had not been nearly as bad she had thought it would be. She had been paired with Samantha and two other Fae women - Liz and Cadi - who would be joining them on their mission. They had her laughing the entire time they were training, telling stories about her guys. Mor was happy they’d be going with them. She had been worried she would be the only female.
Ben hadn’t been with them today, leaving the training up to the other three. He’d been planning their expedition all day. Mor smiled to herself, ready to see Ben. She started to go to the War Room, then realized how gross she was. Shower first, definitely. She ran up the stairs, took the fastest shower of her life, and then threw on some clothes.
Pausing at the bottom of the stairs, she tried to listen for Ben. When that didn’t work, she tuned in to try and find him. He was frustrated. Well, if he was frustrated then he was probably in the War Room. Turning, Mor headed toward the War Room and poked her head in. Sure enough, Ben was leaning on the table, glaring across it at Ethan, Joshua, and Brandon. She took a moment to appreciate the lines of his back straining against his shirt. And his forearms. Fuck, what was it about forearms that were just so fucking sexy?
