Lucky's Charm (4 page)

“That’s a long time,” Landis squeaked.

“It ‘tis.” He lowered his head and nuzzled the hollow at her throat. The pendant he wore weighed heavy on her chest.

“This isn’t wise, and I can assure you there is nothing simple about me.” There was no conviction in her words. She wanted a healthy dose of Lucky and all that he was offering.

She closed her eyes.
Get a grip, girl
.

He chuckled. “Feels right to me.” Lucky slid his lips over her shoulder, yanking at the fabric to get access to her skin. Then he reared back. “Open your eyes and look at me.” His brogue was thicker, harder to understand.

She slowly lifted her lids and rolled her hips, skimming her hands along his triceps.

Lucky touched his forehead to hers. “I’ll not take what isn’t freely offered.”

Landis covered his hand with hers. “Tolley…”

“Sleeps like the dead. Worried your cries of pleasure will wake him?” There was a playful challenge in his voice. “Tell me, luv, don’t you feel it? The way we’re drawn together like magnetized iron ore.” He walked his fingers along the opening of her polo shirt. “I want to bury myself in your pussy, riding these hips until you can’t scream anymore. Until the only thought you have is that I don’t stop.” He skated his palm over the swell of her voluptuous breast and along her rib cage to settle his hand on her hip.

She angled her head, trying to see the giant. The campfire’s flames had died down to simmering embers. “I want to forget this day happened.”

He slipped his digits under her shirt then skimmed them over her belly. Her muscles quivered beneath his touch.

“A sensitive spot?” He caught the hem of her shirt. Then he pushed her blouse up over her breasts to gaze at her lacy bra. “Do all women wear this much clothing where you come from?” He eased the cup down to uncover her stiff nipple then wrapped his lips around it.

Her eyes rolled to back of her head. Soft mewls reached her ears. Briefly, she wondered if someone snuck into the camp. When she realized she was the one making the pleading whimpers, she snapped her jaws shut. Landis sank her fingers into the soft tresses of Lucky’s hair, scraping his scalp with the blunt tips of her nails while he massaged her other orb, pinching the turgid tip. She pressed her tit into his palm.

Lucky released her firm tip and buried his face in the valley between her tits. “Such smooth, beautiful skin. I would never tire of touching you,” he murmured. The scruff on his chin abraded her skin.

In that moment, her only reality was Lucky and the wonderful things he was doing to her body. She didn’t want to think about yesterday or worry about tomorrow. All she wanted was to live right then.

He paused and rose up, staring down her body.

Landis swallowed. “Is there something wrong?” She couldn’t be still, planting her feet and flexing her pelvis against his hip.

Lucky stilled her movements and wrinkled his nose. “There are no ties on ye britches.” He huffed. “How in the hell do we get you out of them?”

A light giggle escaped her lips. She reached down, unsnapped her jeans and rolled them off her hips. Cool air fluttered over her bare belly. Lucky trailed a finger along her skin and under the thin, elastic waist band of her panties then yanked hard. The sudden tug lifted her, and the slim material snapped against her hips. Taking hold of her jeans, he reared up, and snatched them off.

Landis rose onto her elbows. “Hey.”

“Now this be something I could get used to.” He bent and bit at the inside of her thigh.

The night air was cool, but heat raced through her veins, making her burn. She bent her knees and he wrapped strong arms around her thighs, jerking her flat on her back. “Don’t move.” His breath blew over the top of her mound.

His fingers slipped between her labia, and the soft touch sent her heart plummeting into her belly. Gently, he traced her clit with the rough pad of his thumb. Landis bit the inside of her cheek to keep from crying out and her legs shook. Lucky’s grip tightened, keeping her thighs spread while he lapped her clit. Warmth flowed through her pussy as he circled the taut bud with his tongue. Sparks sizzled up her spine. She slapped her hand over her mouth and yelled into her palm.

Lucky lifted his head. A half smile lifted the side of his mouth. “Like that, lass? I have so much more I want to do to you.” He dipped in again and sucked the tiny bundle of nerves between his lips.

Landis rolled her pelvis, grinding her slit against his mouth. His clothes rustled against the coarse blanket beneath them. Thick, blunt-tipped fingers filled her channel, stretching her, and she set her hands flat on the ground, bowing upward. Pulling air into her lungs became a struggle as she grabbed onto the blanket with her fists. On another thrust of his digits deep into her core, he crooked his fingers to rub the walls of her channel. Her hips bucked and her whimpers filled the air.

He stopped. “Don’t forget what I told you, Landis. Don’t move.” Lucky grazed his teeth across her small nub. The stubble on his jaw scraped the sensitive skin of her inner thigh.

Tension twisted the muscles at the small of her back. Above them, stars streaked across the sky as if they were celebrating the pleasure with her. She swallowed the screams threatening to spill past her lips as her orgasm resounded like an internal echo. Sliding his fingers free, he traced his tongue along her slit before kissing the gentle swell of her belly. Slowly her breathing returned to normal.

Lucky pushed up on his knees and yanked at the cord that held his trousers up on lean hips. He smiled at her. “Your beauty is so amazing even the heavens rejoice at the sight of you.” He eased his hands under his waistband and shoved the leather down. His cock sprang free to thump against his belly. Quickly, he stood and kicked off the pants.

Landis licked her lips as he dropped to his knees between her legs and skimmed his hands along her hips. He gripped her waist and dipped to gently brush his lips over her abdomen. Slowly, he kissed his way up through the valley between her breasts, and she resisted the urge to flail her legs in a sexual tantrum. It was pure torture waiting for him to take her. She gripped his shoulders and her hands slid over his damp skin. The head of his shaft teased her passage’s opening. Landis wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders and locked her ankles together at his back. She flexed her pelvis, heaved upward, and sighed when he slipped into her sheath, stretching her.

“
Searc a thabhairt do dhuine
,” he whispered softly in her ear as he drove his cock farther into her body. “
Tá mo chroí istigh ionat,
” he spoke louder as he rose up on his elbows and plunged again, powering into her channel with a speed and strength she was unaccustomed to.

It had been over a year since she last had sex, and she didn’t remember it being so physical, so good. His thrusts shoved her partway off the blanket. She unhooked her ankles and planted her feet flat on the ground, meeting his onslaught drive for drive. Landis placed open-mouthed kisses on his neck. Her breasts pressed into his chest, her rigid nipples rammed into his unforgiving chest muscles. Lucky slipped an arm under her ass and her head dropped back. Her biceps throbbed as she hung on to his neck. The blanket bunched beneath her back and cool grasses soothed her shoulders.

He rose onto his knees and swung her into a sitting position. She rested her arms on his shoulders. When she kissed the shell of his ear, he shivered, tilting his head to the side. She sucked the lobe into her mouth and scraped her teeth over it. Deep grunts and satisfied moans rent the air.

Leaning back, she held his gaze as she bounced on his dick. Desire swirled in his eyes, turning them more green than gold. With both hands, he cupped her ass, grinding his pelvis against her clit. She shuddered at every lunge. The constant contact with the small sensitive bundle of nerves caused her to lose her train of thought.

He jerked her chest to his and brushed his lips against hers. “
Mo Shearc
,” he uttered against her mouth. “Lover, mine.”

Tense muscles along her spine spasmed. Currents of energy buzzed throughout her body. She flailed her arms and tossed her head back, riding the orgasm as her pussy clenched around his shaft. Briefly, she lost the use of her muscles and quivered. Colors swirled around her at a dizzying speed, forcing her to close her eyes. Strong arms enfolded her and she laid her forehead on Lucky’s shoulder. A few more plunges and he went still, bowing his head and bellowing his release against her shoulder. For a few moments, his hold tightened, keeping her from moving.

Gently, he stroked her back. “You need rest,
Mo Shearc
.”

She shifted and a faint zap sizzled through her pussy, making her twitch. The intense orgasm was unlike anything she’d ever experienced before. “Whoa.” She reared back and opened her eyes.

His soft smile greeted her. He fingered the collar of her shirt. “When we go into town, we’ll need to get you more appropriate clothing.”

His words brought reality crashing back into her psyche. If she started to dress and assimilate with the beings of this world, she might never return to her home. “I don’t plan on staying here. First chance I get, I’m gone.” A thread of guilt nibbled at the back of her mind. She argued with herself, justifying her statement. Why was she feeling badly? They weren’t in a relationship. This wasn’t her home. She didn’t belong here.

“Until we can get you home, luv, you’ll need to blend in.” He pushed the locks back from her face and secured a few behind her ear.

Neither one of them seemed in a hurry to move. His cock twitched in her sheath, and she was reluctant to lose the connection they had. She sighed and placed her hands on his chest to rise.

He grabbed her wrists. “Allow me a few more moments of pleasure.

“Tolley might wake up.” She glanced self-consciously at their sleeping companion.

“Are ye interested in my giant friend, lass?” He smirked. “If we didn’t wake him with all your moans, groans, and grunts, he won’t wake up until the sun rises.” Lucky slapped her bottom. “Up with ye now. We might get a moment or two of rest.”

Gently, she rose off his cock. Her thighs ached as she stretched them. Sore in places she forgot she had, she moved cautiously. Once up she peered down at him. His dick still stood at attention.

“Might ye be up for another round, luv?” Lucky winked.

Lucky scanned the ice-capped mountains surrounding them. They were filled with a labyrinth of caverns. The perfect place to mount an ambush. Cold wind whistled through the valley, chilling the air. Lucky studied the trail for anything amiss. It was time to focus. Tolley could take care of himself. Landis wouldn’t last a day without protection, and he intended to be the one who watched out for her.

The border village of Fachan was once a fae stronghold. Nestled in the side of a mountain, it was the last settlement before descending into the Agrona lowlands. Perfectly positioned with unobstructed views of the mountains behind the town and the valleys below it, now it was known for being frequented by the more unsavory creatures. It was the best place to conduct the business he had in mind. He should be able to get in and get out of the village without too much trouble.

Lucky glanced at Landis’ feet. The strange, thin, fabric shoes she wore wouldn’t do well as they traveled closer to the Winterlands. She needed boots. He followed the sensuous curve of her legs up past generous hips and along the straight line of her back. With the unicorn’s very step, her hair swept her shoulders. She sat on Dubh as if she were accustomed to riding the beast. Spine straight and legs relaxed, she looked regal in the saddle. And she hadn’t said a word since they went to sleep.

Last night, he’d straightened the blanket, lain down, and yanked her against his body. After the night of lovemaking they’d shared, he wasn’t about to give her time to think. As if she was made for him, he curled his body around hers and pressed his face against the back of her neck. She had a scent that was exclusively hers and made him drunk with want every time he inhaled. It wasn’t a singular fragrance but a combination of many, like wildflowers and salty sea air. With her secure in his arms, for the first time since he was a child, he’d slept soundly.

That wasn’t a good thing. They could have been attacked by any number of traveling folks. Dubh or Tolley might have needed him. He didn’t want to think about what might have happened if they were under assault and he didn’t have his wits about him.

Sunrise had come way too soon, and with the dawn, Tolley delivered several hard kicks to his side. When he cracked open his lids to look up, his old friend grunted a few comments, turned on his heel, and started breaking down their camp. For some reason, the giant was pissed. Lucky sat up and yawned. Landis muttered something in her sleep and burrowed into the warm spot he’d vacated. Her dark skin reminded him of the berries that grew around his home, so sweet, one was never enough. The material she yanked over her body slipped to the side, exposing her long, luscious legs. He stared at her a long time, wishing he could make love to her again. His erection tented the old cover that pooled around his waist. In the background, Dubh snickered and finally, Lucky gently eased away from Landis. Another time, he would worship her body, but first he needed to get her to a safe place. Priorities were a pain in the arse.

Dressed, he had worked silently with Tolley to clear any sign that they had been there. After everything was packed, he woke Landis. She sat up and stretched. Wiping a hand down her face, she glanced around camp. When she caught sight of Tolley, she snatched up the blanket to cover her breasts. Lucky chuckled as her lips formed a firm line. Clothes weren’t a major issue. Some people could only afford a few basic garments. It wasn’t surprising to see folks naked on a wash day. Some didn’t wear garments at all—they didn’t need to.

He’d picked up her clothing and dropped the items next to her. She glanced at him, and he was sure unshed tears brimmed her lids. Lucky crouched and stroked her cheek with his fingers. Then he leaned forward and kissed her temple. Her confusion and sadness were understandable. If he could make her transition into this place smoother, he would, but she was a stranger in a strange land. He understood, but she couldn’t languish for long or Tuatha De Danann would break her.
