The Gypsy Luna's Beginning

Chapter 8 - Rollercoaster

Isabella

Over the years, Rhi had slowly drifted away from Mia and I, or maybe we drifted away from her. We were still friends, don't get me wrong, but when it was revealed that Mia, Jo, Sylvia, and I were all pregnant, Rhi started becoming closer to Jackie.

After her recent stunt, I couldn't help the feeling of guilt that consumed me. How did I let our friendship get to the point where she turned to others before she did me? Did we unknowingly make her feel like she was that much of an outcast just because we were mothers and she wasn't? It was the last thing I wanted after everything she went through before.

Rhi was knocked out a couple of days longer than Maeve was, and I suspected it was because Maeve wanted out while Rhi wanted to stay. We would all drop in to check on her, but because of the connection we had, I knew she was fine and that she'd wake up soon. So I plopped myself next to my sleeping friend and turned on the TV while I waited, randomly talking to the brownies and bantees that Rhi brought home from Julia's as they went about their business. They've multiplied over the years, just like the rest of us.

I heard Rhi groan as she started to wake up, and I got up to pour her a cup of tea that Sylvia sent in with me. "You picked the perfect time to start jumping around to visit the past, sis."

"Mmm Hmm. Is Maeve ok?" Rhi's voice caught as she tried to talk, so she tried clearing her throat as she pulled herself into a sitting position, her dirty blonde hair full of rats' nests from being in bed.

I chuckled as I placed the cup in her hand once she was upright. "Yeah, she's fine. I think she's confused by a few things, but nothing serious. She wasn't out of it as long as you've been."

Rhi wrinkled her nose in disgust before she drank the warm beverage in a few large gulps. "Yeah, that was a hell of a way for her to meet her mate. Who called Dis, anyway?"

I returned to where I was sitting on the other side of Rhi and turned off the TV. "He called himself. To us, it looked like both of you were just sleeping, but I guess he could sense Maeve's emotional distress. So, do you care to fill me in on what's going on, Mrs. Secretive? Or are you just going to continue to keep sh.it from me?"

Rhi pierced her lips together, and before she answered me Mia came running into the room, her brown wavy hair with dyed green streaks bouncing with her enthusiasm.

"Rhi! You're up! How are you feeling?!" Mia ran over and tackled Rhi in a hug. How my twin is as good at killing as she is with that level of perkiness is beyond me.

"I'm fine, but I need to come clean with the two of you about some things. Where are the guys at?"

"If by guys you mean your mate, he's at work. After he realized you were fine, he stopped worrying and let his irritation take over. So you have that to look forward to when he gets home."

Rhi closed her eyes and let out a sigh as she realized the damage control that waited for her. "Great." She half mumbled under her breath.

"Hey, that's your fault. So how about you enlighten us about what's going on?"

Rhi glared at me as Mia sat at the edge of the bed, both of us waiting to be filled in.

"Ok, so, it starts with the dreams I've been having ......"

Seth

I decided to put some overtime in at the office while I cooled down after what those stubborn women decided to pull. So many stubborn women, all living in one house. I shook my head thinking about them.

"Lupa didn't even give you a heads up as to what Rhi was thinking?"

"For the millionth time, no. Not really. I knew she had something up her sleeve, but didn't know what." I could tell by his tone that Lucius was getting irritated with me, but I was alone at the office and my wolf was the only one I had to talk to.

"You could have given me a heads up."

Lucius scoffed at me. "What was I going to say? Hey there Seth, our mate is going to do something. I don't know what nor when, if it's going to be good or bad, but she's going to do something. Yeah, that would have been helpful."

"I know that she has a lot of unresolved issues with the past, but this is probably the worst time for her to decide to learn to go time hopping."

"It's not her fault you decided to host the summit this year. Maybe you should have waited and talked to her before you accepted."

"Maybe she should have talked to me to let me know what was going on and I wouldn't have accepted at all!"

"Maybe instead of being in this office arguing with each other we should go home and discuss things with our mate!"

"She's awake?!"

"Maybe."

"Fu.cking wolf."

"Skinbag."

Rhi

After Mia and Izzy left, I took a shower and threw on a pair of pajama bottoms and a t-shirt before changing the bedding. The amount of stress I was carrying was drastically cut back as soon as I came clean with them. They were both hurt that I didn't discuss everything with them sooner, but they were also very understanding of the personal issues I was trying to face.

I think that the hardest thing was knowing there were things I needed to deal with, and coming to terms with the fact that I clearly needed help getting my issues resolved. I also realized that I probably should have just been upfront and honest with everyone from the very beginning, but hindsight is 20/20.

"If only you'd listen to me just a little bit more." Lupa snipped in my head.

"Excuse me?"

"I've been around the block a time or two, you know. I don't know why you insist on doing everything the hard way."

"I didn't know my wolf had her PhD in psychology."

"Pfft! Whatever!"

I chuckled at my wolf's classy and intelligent comeback as I finished making the bed before she went quiet. The door quickly clicked open and shut. Soon after, Seth's lavender and oak scent filled the room.

"Nice to finally see you're awake." His voice was monotone and it put a ball of guilt in my stomach.

I sighed and lowered my head in an early defeat. "I'm sorry hun, I really should have been completely open with everyone from the very beginning."

"Oh, no. It's ok. What's not to love about being woken up in the middle of the night by water completely drenching me, then having my mate and wife black out while she decides to visit the past?"

"Ahh. So are we handling the conversation with sarcasm? Wish I knew how much you appreciated wet dreams. I could have made them happen more frequently." And yes, I knew exactly how that sounded.

Seth let out a sigh as he took off his shoes and walked over to sit down on the edge of the bed, briskly scratching his head with both hands, messing up his light brown hair. "Woman, you're going to be the death of me."

"Technically, I'm pretty sure that as long as I'm alive I'm the only one who can kill you anyway. So you're probably right."

Seth flopped backwards on the bed with his legs still hanging off the edge, and I couldn't help but smile to myself as I looked at him. Sure, we've had our spats and we have both gotten under each other's skin countless times. But we've never been able to stay mad at one another for long. Irritated, yeah, but not mad. Maybe it's because he waited so long for me, it took me so long to feel and understand love and acceptance, or maybe because we both realize that even though the vampire venom and magic means that we will have long lives, it doesn't mean we'll live forever. Staying angry just isn't worth it.

I slid my pajama bottoms off and straddled Seth, leaning down to rest my head on his chest and hug him in a tight embrace.

"Are you seriously trying to seduce me right now?" His question came out quietly as he gently ran his fingers through my hair while I listened to the soothing sound of his beating heart.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean for this much drama to come out of this. I'm just used to having to figure everything out on my own. I thought that maybe if I could get some answers, that I could just fix my own problems myself."

Seth let out a low irritated growl as he lifted my head off of his chest, locking his blue eyes with my own. "How many years have we been together and you're still trying to handle everything on your own? Don't get me wrong, I'm happy you at least went to Jackie and Sylvia, but come on Rhi. Don't ever be afraid to tell me everything that's going on in that heart and head of yours. You have no problem with telling me anything else."

"Right now the only thing I need is you."

I gave Seth a cheesy flirtatious smile, and he sat up and supported my back as I moved to wrap my legs around his waist, pulling me closer as I crashed my lips into his.

My tongue danced with his, begging him for forgiveness as he slid his hands under my t-shirt, pausing from our kissing just long enough to pull it over my head and for us both to catch our breath.

As soon as my shirt was dropped to the floor, Seth's lips and tongue were attacking my skin, leaving a trail of tingles down my neck. I slowly leaned back, exposing my breasts to him as my hardened nips quietly begged for attention.

Seth didn't hesitate to grant their wish, and the sudden sensation of his warm mouth and grazing teeth in combination of their heightened erotic sensitivity was enough to push me closer to the edge. There are days that's all it takes to get me there.

Knowing how close I was from the simple nip taunting, Seth quickly turned to lay me on the bed as he stood to take off his clothes. As much as I loved him in his business attire, it was complete agony watching him unbutton his shirt.

Being as impatient as I was, I decided to have a little bit of my own fun. I slid myself to the edge of the bed, grabbed the waist of Seth's pants to pull him closer, and before he even had his shirt completely unbuttoned, I had his belt and pants undone, dropping them to the floor and sliding his boxer briefs down with them, freeing what it was that my body craved.

I took his tip in my mouth, teasing the edges with my tongue and moaning to create vibration. I slowly took more and more of him in, licking him and applying pressure with my teeth that were covered by my lips. I sucked his length in as much as I could, slowly moved back towards his tip, pressing my tongue firmly along the bottom until I reached his most sensitive point. Then I let my tongue have its fun as it flicked and rubbed, teasing him as the taste in my mouth let me know how much he was enjoying it.

But Seth had other intentions as he gently pulled himself out of my mouth, making me pout in the process. "Don't give me that look. Tonight you're going to be reminded about proper communication."

Seth smiled as my face fell and eyes widened. He quickly moved me to the center of the bed, laid me down on my back, and started leaving delicate kisses on my inner thighs. I moaned as he reached my apex, lightly teasing the area with his nose as he inhaled deeply, letting an aroused growl out in the process that sent a shiver to my core.

As his tongue spread me apart, I closed my eyes and held my breath, gasping for air only when my bundle of nerves became his next target.

Then, he stopped. The pathetic whimper that escaped my mouth didn't get me anywhere. "I'm sorry, did you need something?" I didn't need to open my eyes and look at him to know that the coy grin I loved as well as hated was on his face. I could tell simply by the tone of his voice.

"You're not funny."

"Who said I was joking?"

I opened my eyes and glared at him. "Keep it up and I'll just finish myself."

Seth raised an eyebrow as an evil smile formed on his face. "Is that what you want?"

I sighed in frustration. As if I needed more lessons to learn. "I want you."

"You want me to what?"

"I want you back between my legs, pleasing me, so knock off your sh.it!" My rising irritation and frustration was clear, which only fueled his fire.

"That wasn't very nice."

I squinted my eyes at my evil mate as I glared at him. "You only told me to use my words, you didn't say I had to be nice." I hissed my words out, though, not intentionally.

Seth let out an amused snort that immediately made me regret my choice of words and attitude. His mouth started attacking me once again. A mixture of sucking, blowing, his tongue rubbing and flicking, and teeth grazing. It was like he was starving and my body was the first meal he'd had in a long time, hungry for what he could get.

I couldn't help the whimpers and moans that left my mouth every time Seth changed a movement, the vibrating growls he let out into me making my own sounds of desire even louder. I was completely saturated and swollen, my body craving for him to finish, but I knew he wouldn't play fair tonight.

"I need. You. All of. You. Now." My whiney voice tried begging him through gasps of air.

"Now what?" Seth latched onto my thigh, sucking it while I squirmed, my body pleading with him.

"Please!"

My eyes shot open as he slid his tip up and down my folds, preparing the both of us for what was to come. But that's not why my eyes shot open. At the same time, I felt something enter me where I wasn't anticipating. The sensation of something being in me immediately vanished, and I knew it was a piece of coconut oil.

Seth slowly slid himself lower, teasing my other entrance with his tip, coating himself with the melted coconut oil that leaked out of me. Despite teaching me a lesson, he was still my sensual and caring mate, slowly entering me only when I relaxed, just to pull out a little and go further in the next time around.

I arched my back once his hips were flush against me, my body begging to be touched. "Communicate, remember?" His voice was gruff and full of desire, only making me want him that much more.

"Please, push me past my breaking point." My voice was quiet but desperate, pleading with Seth, and it made his member twitch.

Seth thrust his fingers in and out of me using a short, fast, and firm motion. As quickly as he put them in, he removed them and started assaulting my bud. When I felt myself clench down, so close to finding my high, he stopped and thrust his fingers back inside.

My breathing became ragged and desperate between the two maneuvers, and feeling his random twitching inside of me. It felt like the world was spinning as I became light-headed, and Seth took this moment to insert my favorite C-shaped toy, making sure the setting was almost maxed out. The scream of desire caught in my throat as I was pushed even closer to the edge.

As Seth started thrusting slowly, the feeling of complete fullness along with the aggressive vibration against my sensitive bud was more than I could handle and my entire body tensed up in anticipation, making me tightly grip the blankets below me with my hands.

I held out just long enough for Seth to find his release inside of me first, my body craving to feel his pulsations to finally send me over the edge. My own release came in waves, a combination of my muscles spasming along with completely soaking Seth and the bed with everything I had.

Seth removed himself and the toy from me as I lowered myself onto the bed, my muscles finally relaxing and refusing to hold me up any longer. I closed my eyes, basking in the moment while catching my breath, only to hear Seth let out an airy chuckle. "You don't think I'm done, do you?"

"What?!" My eyes immediately shot back open and I stared at his face, which was lit up with amusement as he looked down at me.

"I'm kidding!" He collapsed next to me as our bodies finished coming off of their high.

"Good, because not only do we have to get cleaned up, but the bed needs changed. Again. I just got done making it when you showed up. I don't know if I can physically handle that and another round."

"Guess you should have waited to make the bed, huh?"

"I thought I'd be nice and have it ready for you when you got home."

"You did a fabulous job." Seth kissed my temple as I rolled my eyes at his sense of humor. "Side note, tomorrow we need to start figuring out the summit."

"Excuse me?" He really didn't just say summit, did he?!

"Oh, yeah, while you were off visiting the past, I may or may not have agreed to host the summit this year."

"YOU WHAT?!'
