The Wind and the Sun Read online

  Through it all, they kissed. Sunshine had never felt so connected, so cherished. Zephyr consumed her completely, not a flash fire, but with glowing coals that burned brighter and brighter. His mouth was the only way to drag air into her body, his skin under her hands the only way to keep her heart beating.

  Still her need grew. Heat rose from the inside out, her core demanding she be filled. Under her hips she felt need rising in Zephyr as well.

  Actually, if he rose much more, they’d be on the ceiling.

  Suddenly aloft in his arms Sunshine opened her eyes to see the bed in her peripheral vision. Zephyr was tender as he laid her down. He dropped his robe to the floor and stalked his way up her body to finish suspended over her, the warmth of his skin reaching to touch her.

  He lowered himself. Skin contact sent another shot of electricity through her and she opened her legs, inviting him to nestle more intimately against where she needed him the most.

  “Oh, no. Not so fast. First, I’m going to taste every inch of your body, Sunshine. Only after you’re good and ready for me will I take you.

  “I’m ready.” Sunshine struggled to lift her hips. The head of his shaft nudged her pussy lips. If she just…

  Zephyr dropped his weight on her and pinned her in place. “Ah, ah. None of that. You can’t get out of your responsibilities that quickly.” He grinned at her like the Cheshire cat.

  She’d never liked cats.

  “Zephyr, please, I need you.” She wanted to be one with him more than anything she’d ever wanted before.

  His grin faded. Dark need filled his eyes and he lowered his head to her shoulder. To her collarbone. To the top of her breast. Zephyr kissed her skin, suckled on her. Biting and nipping and caressing with his mouth. His hands were everywhere, his mouth laying a line of gunpowder down her body. He lapped at her belly button, his teeth dragged on the belly ring with a tug then his mouth shifted lower and his kisses became yet more intimate.

  The temperature in the room rose as her body responded. She tried to keep within the safe zone she’d been taught but Zephyr’s touch erased the rules. Sweat formed on their bodies, and when his tongue laved from crotch to clit, she heard the fire blaze and sparks roar up the chimney into the night air.

  “No, Zephyr, we have to stop. It’s too much. I can’t control it.” She shook, whether with the need to stop or the need to finish, she honestly couldn’t say.

  He raised his head far enough to see straight into her soul. “You can’t control it, I can’t control it. But together we’ll be fine. Trust me, Sunshine. Let me love you. Love me back.”

  Sunshine dropped her head back into the pillow with a cry as he licked her clit. Didn’t he realise his beautiful house could go up in flames? She’d rarely lost control of her powers but she’d never felt like this before either.

  Zephyr slipped a finger into her sheath and drew her rigid clitoris into his mouth. He suckled, softly, but it was enough to cause the wine in the glasses to bubble, steam rising from the surface.

  “Oh solar flares, Zephyr, no!” Tears slid down her face as the tension in her built to a crest, as the feeling of ignition grew to the point of no return. He added another finger, putting more pressure on the sensitised nerves of her pussy, and the sound of sparks flickered throughout the room. His mouth was on her, hot and wet and pressing hard on her clit, then suckling again.

  Flames burst around her, her womb clenched and drenched his fingers with fiery liquid. Her breath caught in her lungs and she melted into the bed, pleasure pulsing through her veins like mercury in the desert heat.

  Zephyr rose and pressed his cock into her, the bulging head stretching her wide as he forced himself into the still convulsing walls of her vagina. “Let me in, Sunshine, let me take you.” He stroked her cheek gently as he slipped another inch into her body. He pulled back, pushed in, driving her higher into the danger zone.

  Sunshine saw sparks in the air around them, a haze of heat rising from the floor like on a sun-baked road in Arizona. She couldn’t understand why the room hadn’t exploded with a flash.

  With a final thrust, Zephyr filled her. Filled her body and soul, his eyes staring into hers as he paused, an expression of incredulous joy on his face.

  “You feel so right around me, Sunshine. Hot, wet. Never let me go.” He pulled back slowly and every inch of him, every ridge and bump, massaged the walls of her sheath. The heat of his cock warmed her to scalding from the inside out.

  He pressed in, steady and sure, his hips driving her into the mattress as she wrapped her legs around him. She opened herself to allow him to fill her another inch, another small bit of pleasure squeezed from her body.

  They shook the bed, the curtains at the window gusting each time Zephyr drove into her. Pleasure tingled, her blood pounding in her clit as his body dragged over her again and again. He dropped his mouth to suck at one breast, then the other. Never breaking stroke with his hips, he covered her breasts with kisses that tore through her defences and left her barely able to breath.

  Sensation overload was imminent.

  “Come for me, Sunshine. Squeeze me with your beautiful pussy so I can feel you around me forever.”

  She closed her eyes and saw fireworks. As dangerous as it was, she let go her control and let the passion that had built to overwhelming temperatures burst out of her. Her pussy grabbed Zephyr, clutching his shaft as he dragged out and thrust once more. A thousand waves compressed him as the heat flash from her body raced through him and into the air beyond them.

  Zephyr cried out, his seed spurting impossibly hot into her depths as he pulsed within her. They collapsed, still locked together, Zephyr pinning her to the bed. His chest heaved as he tried to suck in air from the oxygen-depleted room.

  Sunshine lay with her eyes closed, heart wildly pounding. The crackling sound of fire filled the air around them but it was familiar, comforting. Their lovemaking had been everything that she’d hoped it to be. His body and hers fit together so well. His tenderness fit even better.

  Long minutes later, Zephyr rolled to the side and turned her to nestle into the curve of his body, her butt snug against his slowly flagging erection.

  “I hope you’re planning on me staying the night because there’s no way I’m getting up on time tomorrow. I might sleep until noon. Two days from now.” Sunshine tucked his hand tighter against her belly.

  Zephyr kissed her shoulder. “I’d like you to stay the night. In fact, I’d like…” He leaned his head on her shoulder and fell silent. Sunshine rolled over and opened her eyes to see what was the matter.

  She shot upright in the bed.

  The entire room around them was filled with flames. White hot around the bed, cooler shades of blue and purple towards the edges. “Zephyr, your house. I’m so sorry, I forgot. What have I done? Let me—” She frantically waved a hand towards the flames to extinguish them but nothing changed. Heat pulsed around them. She gave a little cry of fear.

  Zephyr pulled her back into his arms. “Hush, it’s all right, Sunshine. The room is safe, we’re safe. It’s the residue of our lovemaking. You can’t wave it away. Give it a little time and it’ll calm down.”

  She straight-armed him to his back and crawled on top, pinning him to the bed. Zephyr chuckled. “Well, it will calm down unless you go and do something like get me started again.” The long length of his cock under her hips rose with interest and she shifted away to safety.

  “How is this possible? What is going on here, Zephyr?”

  He looked impossibly sexy, lying under her. Impossibly guilty as well. Sunshine narrowed her gaze at him.

  “I made a few custom design changes when I built the house.” She continued to stare, her finger poking him in the chest. He pulled a funny face. “Fine. I asked your dad what kind of precautions I should take to make sure we didn’t set off solar flares when we made love.”

  No. Way. “You asked my dad?”

  Zephyr had the grace to look embarrassed. “Well, he and D
azzle have obviously survived and they had you, so I figured—”

  “You asked my dad?”

  “I just wanted to—”

  “You asked—”

  Zephyr flipped her off and dragged her into his arms while she struggled to get away.

  “Stop it, Sunshine. Don’t run away from me. Not now. Not ever.”

  She slapped at his shoulder. “I can’t believe you asked my dad about safe sex. Do you know how embarrassing that is?” She wiggled for another moment as he pinned her in place, his hand stroking over her back to soothe her. Was it really so bad? Sunshine stared up at him, his dark eyes filled with deep emotion.

  Zephyr kissed her softly. “Do you remember how embarrassed you were when you lost your virginity and unwittingly burned down half of Chicago?”

  “That wasn’t me, it was the cow’s fault.”

  He stopped her protests by kissing her so thoroughly she couldn’t think. When they came back up for air, the flames were still there but now a very comforting and familiar pale blue glow.

  “So…” Sunshine said, “are you going to tell me what this is all about?”

  Zephyr stroked her cheek. “I love you, Sunshine. I have for a long, long time. I want you to live with me. I want you to marry me. I built this house for us. In fact, we can safely fool around in every room, except the wine cellar. Heat and good wines don’t mix.”

  Sunshine stared. She was sure her jaw was on the ground. He wanted to marry her? He built the house for them?

  He was insane.

  Wasn’t he? A little corner of her heart began to hope. Maybe it was more than just a contest. His caring, his tenderness. All of it was real? Sunshine held back a little, fearing rejection.

  “It was just a contest. You don’t even like me.”

  Zephyr groaned and pulled her close. “I’ve loved you since you gave me a hotfoot in third grade. That’s why I’ve chased off the bullies and blown up at the girls who teased you. That’s why I let you provoke me for years, hoping you’d see… Well, Sunshine, I hoped you’d see that you love me too.”

  Sunshine looked around at the glowing walls that seemed so familiar. The memory of her family home, growing up with the same blue lighting the halls, made her eyes widen.

  “It’s love!” She pointed at the flames. “The colour, the flames. It’s what happens when the house is filled with love.”

  Zephyr nodded.

  “Wow.”

  They grinned at each other. Sunshine’s heart overflowed with emotion. It was real. He loved her.

  Zephyr lifted a finger in warning. “I’m still giving your dad a piece of my mind for pulling the Cumulus boys into the picture—”

  She silenced him the best way possible. Many minutes later, the room was once again brilliant white and they were on the floor of the bathroom.

  “Wow. Again.” Her body glowed, her heart was full.

  Zephyr turned his head to look at her as they sprawled on their backs on the cool tile. “So, are you going to answer me?”

  “I didn’t hear a question.” Sunshine said as she examined her nails. “Damn, I broke one.” She giggled for a second. Old habits died hard.

  Laughing, Zephyr swept her into his arms. “For that, I’m not asking, I’m going to assume the answer is yes. Oh, and there is enough room for at least five children.”

  “Five?” Her eyes snapped open in shock.

  “Eight, if we get bunk beds. I made sure everything is fireproof and draft-free until they’re trained. I didn’t want them to burn down the place or be able to sneak out of the house without us knowing it.” Zephyr spoke knowingly then chuckled. “Not that I ever did that.”

  Sunshine closed her mouth and hid a smile. Gods, they would have the wildest children around. She slipped her arms around his neck then wrinkled her nose. “So do we have to declare a winner? Was it a real contest?”

  The expression of adoration on Zephyr’s face was priceless and she smiled back with delight.

  “Oh, it was a real contest all right. I win.” He held her body tight to his. “You can claim any title you want, but I still win.”
