It was going to take some time he said, for me to get use to all of the changes.
“Why don’t you come out? I know you’re there.” I was barely quick enough to move out of the way when she came at me.
I was ready to try out my new skills, but I never got the chance. Thorn came out of nowhere and grabbed Mina by her throat, dragging her away from me. It was so quick, almost faster than the eye could blink.
“I warned you.” My mouth opened in a silent scream when he twisted her neck. The snap was loud in the still night air.
He looked over at me after letting her body drop at his feet. “You’re going to get a tanning, didn’t I tell you to leave this to me?” He started to move towards me, but I was frozen to the spot.
I finally came out of my daze when dad came flying out the door. I moved to put myself between him and Thorn, to protect Thorn from what I was sure was coming.
“Is that her?” He looked down at the crumpled body.
“Dad...”
“Not now kiddo, us men have things to take care of.”
Thorn came over to take me back inside. “What did dad mean, what’re you going to do?”
“Jasmine, there are some things I won’t discuss with you. Just because you have power now does not mean that my wife will be allowed to get into physical altercations.
That’s never going to happen. You will stay here until we get back, you’re perfectly safe now.” He too looked back at the body.
I was taken inside and put to bed like a good little girl, which made me grit my teeth.
“I can feel you and if you do any of what’s going on in your head I will tan your little ass even more than I am going to when I get back here. Now rest.” He placed his hand over my stomach where the little light had flown earlier.
“I love you both, very much.” He kissed me like he was going off to war before leaving the room.
I laid there wide awake as my mind replayed it over and over again. He’d snapped her neck like it was nothing. I searched myself for my feelings on that one.
I was more than a little surprised that I wasn’t frightened by anything I’d seen and heard today. It all felt so right, like the part of me that had been missing all along.
I wanted to get up but my body was suddenly so tired. I was asleep within minutes, the day finally catching up to me.
I’m not sure how long I slept before I was awakened to his head between my thighs. I was suddenly wide- awake.
Chapter 24
THORN
She was asleep when I came into her room hours later. Her father and I had taken care of our future. It had been part of my plan since the whole thing had come to light years ago.
I’d worked out in my head that it was his right as the son and father to take vengeance if he was so inclined, against those who had brought harm to his family.
There wasn’t a Divecki left on the face of the earth now, and when the council found the dead bodies in the morning, there might be speculation and suspicion as to who the perpetrators were, but I was confident nothing will ever come back to us.
“You’re awake.” I felt the change in her temperature on my tongue as I dug deeper, lifting her ass in my hands to bring her closer to my mouth.
I drank her juices hungrily as my fingers played inside her pink flower.
“Thorn...”
Her voice was full of heat and passion as she tugged insistently on my hair. “No, stay still; I’ve decided that since you’re with child I can’t spank your ass, so I will carry out your punishment another way.
I took my time teasing her pussy while she begged and pleaded with me to take her now.
When she grew hoarse and my jaw hurt from digging my tongue too deep inside her, I relented.
Turning her roughly onto her stomach, I lifted her ass where I wanted it. “Keep your chest flat on the bed. That’s it, now hold onto the bars.”
As soon as she complied I looked for my son in her womb before plunging into her. All the books say I won’t hurt her this way, but I wasn’t taking any chances.
I know very well that I can and will get rough with her sometimes, and she won’t be much different in the weeks and months to come.
“Oh hell Thorn.” I started to pull back out of her thinking I’d gone too deep, but before I could castigate myself she pulled me back in.
“Don’t you dare stop, that feels so good.” She arched her back deeply just before I was about to order her to. Holding her hips firmly, I pumped in and out of her faster and faster, while our minds joined.
