Page 29 of Unbroken

I can feel her eyes rake over me as I saunter over to the spring and step down into the water. The heat seeps into my muscles, washing away all my doubts, fears, and worries as I sit back on a rock near the ledge.

We lock eyes, the heat of the water is nothing in comparison to the heat in Micah’s eyes. She doesn’t move and neither do I. If she wants me. . .well.

“Did you mean what you said?” she asks after a few minutes of palpable silence.

I clear my throat, trying and failing to act unaffected, but fuck I am affected. “About?” I lift my arms and spread them along the rocks behind me as I relax further into the water.

“To keep your hands off me,” she says breathlessly, the rise and fall of her chest has the tops of her breasts cresting in and out of the water, and I’m suddenly thirsty.

“I said I couldn’t promise that,” I reply, the sexual tension between us building, so thick and heavy I can almost taste it on my tongue. My heartbeat spikes as blood rushes frantically in my ears with the urge to take what I want. Her. Iwanther.

“And I said no promises.” She glides through the water slowly, inching toward me, tempting me to close the distance. “Come to me, or are you going to leave me out here on my own?” She tosses something through the air, and I watch it go as it lands by her clothes. My mouth forms an O shape as I turn around to see her standing, naked from the waist down, her pretty pussy ready, waiting, calling to me.

“Shit!” I groan. “Micah. I—”

“What, Rodyn? What’s stopping you?” she says as she unhooks her bra and slides it down her arms and tosses it as well. “Did you not say you wanted me? That you don’t deserve me but you’re a selfish man and you have no intention of walking away?” She lifts her brows in question but all I have eyes for are the rivulets of water running down every dip and plane of her body. Fuck it.

I stand and walk out to meet her in the middle of the spring. “I did say all those things, didn’t I?” I stop, leaving only an inch between us. “But what I didn’t say is that if I come closer, the need to touch you would be unbearable.” I reach up and cup her face with both hands as I look down into eyes of pure fire. She lifts up her face, all but offering me her mouth, but I don’t partake in the taste of her, not yet. I let my hands slide down her face, then her neck, and she releases a soft moan as my hands squeeze her breasts and tease her nipples with my thumbs.

“Fucking beautiful, Micah Jones. I’ve laid awake at night wishing and hoping for this moment,” I say as I drop my hands and step into her space, her body flush with mine. Our chests heaving with anticipation, the Tether between us thrums with potent energy, I couldn’t walk away from her now even if I wanted to.

“Rodyn, I forgive you. Is that what you need from me?” Micah wraps her arms around my neck, bringing my head closer to hers, our lips close to touching. “Rodyn. I want you. Is that what you need me to say?” Micah’s tongue flicks out, licking my bottom lip, and my mouth parts for her, my body giving her invitation, shutting down my brain all together.

I stop thinking. Guilt, regret, and self-deprecation, all the negative things that have plagued me for weeks. I drop all that shit in the fires of Micah’s eyes and let go. I snap. I open myself up to her kisses, scooping her up in my arms, moaning from the taste of her on my tongue. I carry her back to the rock ledge as she wraps her legs around my waist. We kiss as if our very souls have been searching for each other for an eternity. She is my puzzle piece that I didn’t know was missing until she clicked into place inside me.

I sit down with her, refusing to let her lips leave mine as our kisses become more frantic. I swallow her needy moans and whines as she lifts her hips and slides her pussy against my waiting cock. I break our kiss and my lips mourn hers as I grip her hips, stilling her movement.

“Rodyn, please,” she whines. “I need. . .I can’t. . .” She pants, eyes wild. I nod, because I feel it too. The strong need to complete the Tether between us. Her magic seeking mine, making us mindless, primal beasts.

“I know, baby. I know. I feel it too. You want to cum on my cock?” I ask as I lean forward and take her nipple between my lips, sucking and teasing it then turn my attention to the other one, each one teased as she writhes in my arms. Her wet pussy marking me as hers as she slides up and down my body.

“Yes, God. Yes!” she shouts. “Rodyn, fuck me, please!” she pleads.

“You never have to beg or plead for me ever, baby. That is the only promise I will ever make you,” I say as I thrust up inside of her. Micah’s back bows, her pussy slides over my dick, gripping me so hard my eyes roll from the pleasure of it.

“I am yours.” I pull her off me until only my tip remains, then slam her home where she belongs.

“Oh fuck! Rodyn. Fuck!” she screams as I lose myself in her. Standing with her in my arms, she wraps herself around me and we fuck hard and fast, chasing our release. Micah’s eyes glow white hot as I roll my hips, grinding against her clit as she cries out for more. With my hands free, I grip her ass and let my fingers roam until I push past the tight ring of her hole and slide inside her ass.

“Oh. . .Oh. . . Oh shit!” she cries as I thrust faster, my finger matching my tempo as I fuck both her holes. My legs threaten to buckle from the feel of her pussy and ass gripping me. My orgasm builds slowly as pleasure washes over my entire body.

“Cum for me, baby. Cum for me, Micah.”

I pant as I reach for her clit with my other hand, stroking it hard with my fingers. Micah’s lips collide with mine as she screams her release into my mouth, and I kiss her hungrily. The Tether between us flares to life as I cum, breaking our kiss, I shout her name to the Heavens in atonement.

I feel alive, I feel pure euphoria flow through me as fire licks at my chest. Micah’s head tips back, her mouth parted in ecstasy. I watch in awe as the brand on her chest begins to glow, black, white, gold, followed by a blazing silver infinity symbol which slowly appears on her skin.

Looking down, clenching my teeth together from the pain, the same symbol mirroring hers glows and settles against my chest. We both gasp as our powers intertwine, becoming one solid thread before they separate into two silver threads, Tethering us together forever. I stumble with her still wrapped around me until I find the ledge and sit.

“I can feel you.” I lean my forehead against hers, feeling complete. Finally complete.

“I can feel you, too. All of you.” Micah opens her eyes as tears run down my cheeks. “I feel everything. . . Is this what it feels like when the Tether is finally complete?” she mutters as she clutches her chest. Her eyes widen with alarm and she cries out in pain. A Wolf’s mournful howl sounds in the distance.

“Sam!” Micah shouts, jumping off me and climbing out of the spring as a scream rings out around us. “Oh no! Esme!” Micah screams, throwing on her clothes as I follow her lead. Micah curses under her breath as she tries to slide her clothes over her wet body. With a flick of her wrist, a gust of wind brushes over the both of us, drying us instantly.

“Have I told you I love you yet?” I ask, shoving my feet into my shoes as we break into a run out of the oasis.

Micah stops and turns back to me as another howl calls out for aid. “Save it. Hold on to it and tell me when I really need it. I have a feeling I am going to need it more then, than now,” she says solemnly as her head turns left and right, confused as to what direction to run in.
