A/N: Thank you to Eric24168 for giving me a little nudge. Happy belated birthday here's a little more Haven just for you.
"It's too dangerous to have her out in the field. I want her out there believe me I do, but if she shifts and is seen, it could be over for both of us." Anita shouted as the three of us reached the doors to the living room.
"Ma Petite, if not for her you may not be standing beside me at this moment. Rylie's ability is unknown, perhaps as your Lion to Call your own distress is what caused her to shift?" Jean-Claude offered calmly. "I am not linked with her as you and Asher are, but as you are her Master it is not a stretch to think that under duress you called on her?"
"But I never felt a pull, when that hag made me shift I felt every bit of it and I was powerless." I felt weak to admit that I was that powerless against anyone, Asher squeezed my hand as Payne wrapped a comforting arm around my waist.
"Perhaps Mon Cherie it is because Anita was calling for your help and not forcing you to shift? Your Telepathy allows you to stay connected even when you are not trying to be, it is not a stretch to assume that your Telepathy paired with your new connection with Anita allowed you in more closely than others. Which in turn upon sensing her distress made you subconsciously shift to aid her." Asher nodded as Jean-Claude spoke.
"Mon Jolie, I was not awake to feel what happened, but Jean-Claude is right I believe. For you to not feel the pull, but know that both you and Anita were in danger, you would do anything to protect yourself and Anita." He brought up my hand to kiss softly and with Payne by my side I felt at ease.
"Say you're both right, how can Rylie and I prove that's what is happening? I, we can't offer that up as an explanation, the Marshals will never go for it."
"I barely believe it, so I doubt they will." I added. "We just have to tell them that I am a risk, I'll resign in the morning." A hunter then a Marshal was all I knew and there was no need for hunters any longer, without going the path that Edward went.
"I believe we can work on this. Knowing as we do, we can work towards having complete control of your power and blocking out Anita so she will not subconsciously control your shift." Asher nodded at Jean-Claude's words and squeezed my hand.
"Mon Jolie, Jean-Claude is right, if there is anyone that can overcome this, it is you and Anita." Asher's eyes never burned fiery as some would describe, but they darkened and intensified and I knew with him that I would get through this.
Payne had stayed at the Circus with Asher, while I made my way to the Pride's home. It was late and the pride members that stayed were all asleep. Haven had just padded down the stairs, shirtless and his briefs low on his hips as I opened the door. My smile was warm and instant as I went to him, his arms wrapping around my smaller frame as I breathed in his scent. His cologne mixed with the familiar scent of lion and warm desert sand. As always his power swirled around him, brushing up and along my arms and spreading across every bit of bare skin available, more so as I wriggled free of my jacket.
Leaning up on tiptoes, my lips brushed against his as my lioness made herself known stretching out luxuriously inside me, my own power breathing out to meet his. The familiar aura of both our beasts soon surrounded us. With a primal growl Haven scooped me up as I wrapped my legs around him, never breaking the kiss. Instead of making it to our bed, Haven kicked open the door to the small downstairs bedroom, depositing me on to the bed. Kicking off his briefs he stood baring all and he was magnificent. Long gone were the scars from when Anita the others had shot him. Though stood proudly were his sesame street tattoos that failed to bring a smile to my face.
I made quick work of my shirt as Haven helped remove my Jean's, leaving me in just my underwear. Kneeling between my legs Haven lifted a leg, kissing his way down from my calf, up to my thigh before removing my pants as well as I removed my bra, allowing my Rex to take in every inch of me
Leaning down once more Haven trailed kisses up my stomach, reaching my breasts one hand cupped a breast kneading it softly while his mouth worked away at the free breast, taking a nipple into his mouth working it with tongue and teeth.
At the exact moment Haven bit down and sucked at my breast he thrust into me, drawing a loud pleasured moan. As he breathed out pleased growl of hot air against my now sensitive nub of skin, causing me to twitch beneath him before rocking against his hips pushing him deeper.
"Fuck." He breathed out as he pulled back satisfied with the first of his marks. Starting a rhythm pumping in and out of me, Haven dipped his head again this time his lips reaching for my throat, this time he didn't try for gentle as he bit down on the tender skin making me hiss out as one hand clawed at his back, the other tugging at his soft blue hair, holding him to me as I rocked my hips, meeting each of his thrusts while angling my neck for him to mark me further.
Haven loved nothing more than marking me, he knew I wasn't only his, but the marks still pleased him. Our beasts auras mixed once more, making our skin feel electric, every nerve felt like it was being caressed at once and before I could stop myself I came, calling out his name, nails clawing at his back as he came deep inside me.
Power pulsed around the room as we came down from our high, movement could be heard throughout the house as some woke to our joint power. Slipping from me, Haven pulled me into him, wrapping his arms around me, kissing lazily at my neck, paying extra attention to a large mark upon my neck.
