Mated By The Demon Collections: Paranormal Romance Read online

  Rose knew at this point the conversation about who they were and how their clans fit together had to be discussed sooner than later. But he had said it was snowing, or might snow. She couldn’t remember, maybe they would be blocked in her for a while. She smiled at the thought and a flicker of hope built in her body.

  The more time I get to be with him the better. Because if I have to die, at least I’ve had this time with him, and that is something I don’t want to give up easily.

  Chapter 6

  Catan brought the food back. Rose smelled the food and sighed. “Oh that smells so good. I’m famished.”

  He laughed. “So there is plenty of food if you want another plate!”

  She looked at him. “I just might you know I’m recovering!”

  They both laughed. Rose loved this man. They just felt so perfect together. It couldn’t be wrong to feel this happy when you were with one person.

  “You know we’ll have to talk about it soon right?” Rose asked.

  “Yes I know. “ Catan said as he took another bite of his food. “But that doesn’t mean I want too.” He admitted.

  “Me either. But you know better than me what the weather is like. If he realizes I’m gone, is it bad enough he won’t be able to search? I mean it would have to be really bad, because he swears this marriage will save the family. I don’t see how it could. Who has that much pull to save one family, when there are so many enemies?” Rose asked.

  “I don’t know.”

  “Or maybe it’s because he doesn’t want me around him anymore? Maybe it isn’t about the family, but the fact that I’ll be out from under him? Can that make any sense?” Rose looked at Catan seriously.

  “Well I don’t know if that would be the case. Maybe it would depend on how much your brother has changed.” Catan said.

  “Or how much I hurt him last year, and how much I pushed him away.” Rose stated.

  “Rose, look at me.” Catan put his hand on hers across the table. “You can’t keep blaming yourself anymore. When you get the chance you need to talk to Alick, find out once and for all if you can patch this up. I can see how painful it is for you when you talk about it. You had nightmares about it when you were recovering.” Catan said.

  Rose looked at him questioning what he had meant.

  “You were talking in your delusions. The fever was high and you had no idea what you were saying. I didn’t know what you were talking about either, not really. You would say fragments of things and they wouldn’t make much sense. But once you woke up and told me everything, it made more sense to me. I know you still love your brother. What he feels, I can’t honestly say. But at least for your sake, you need to say something to him. For that reason alone we can’t run away from this situation. No matter what our last names might be and the history between our families, we have to see him again. You need to talk to him.” Catan said.

  “But what if he forces me to go to this other man?” Rose asked.

  “No that won’t be part of the bargain, I won’t let you go anywhere ever. You are mine and you always will be mine and only mine.” Catan told her.

  She smiled at him. “I love you Catan.”

  “I love you too Rose. I have for some time now. In fact, I think I fell in love with you when I first saw you on the forest floor.” Catan admitted.

  “Really, how could you love me then?” Rose asked.

  “How could you love me now? Better yet how can we love each other, because I know I love you, it doesn’t always make sense?” Catan stated.

  Rose admitted his thoughts made sense. “I don’t know either. But I know it isn’t something I will ever give up.”

  “Me either love, me either.” Catan said.

  They ate the rest of their meal in silence. Both of them afraid to move to the next topic they knew had to be tackled. Instead she wondered what would happen when they would face her brother again. It all depends on his last name, she thought. Knowing that there was far too much truth in that thought.

  So she thought about it from several ways looking from each direction. Some last names would mean very little confrontation. While some would mean death for them both, because she had known what he meant when he stated she was only his. It meant that he would rather die than to allow her to go to another person. She knew that he would gladly fight to the death to protect her. But what he didn’t know was that she would do the same to protect him. So if one of them died in a confrontation they would both die that day they meant her brother.

  Catan thought about what would happen when he faced her brother. It could go extremely bad and end with his death, he would do anything to protect her. If he was dead he wouldn’t have to see her with another man. There was no way that he could easily give her up and let her go to another though. The confrontation might end with him killing her brother too. That wasn’t something he wanted to do either. The fear that built up in at that thought was real. If Catan had to kill her brother how could she love him after that?

  It was not a situation he wished he found himself in though. The fact was that he couldn’t stop loving her no matter what her name was though. He knew no matter what came up in their conversation he would gladly give his life in protecting her.

  He looked over at her and said. “Why can’t life be simple? Why do we have to live in this time and age where we even have to worry what our last names are? I hate this war from all sides. It isn’t right, we shouldn’t be fighting for shit that happened generations ago. No we should be trying to get along with each other. In the long run everyone feels the same way, I mean we are all human. Too many people though love to kill. They love the rush, so I don’t know if we can ever end it fully.” Catan stated.

  Rose shook her head. “I’ve always wondered about the wars too. I asked my father once and he told me he had no idea why we were fighting.” Rose stated, remembering the conversation with her father again.

  “Yeah I’ve done the same thing for years with both my father and brothers. My sisters usually stay out of that discussion. But I can see that they feel the same way as I do too. You know we need more of us that think this way to stand up and say something.” Catan said.

  “Finding the ones who are brave enough to do it is hard. Heck I wouldn’t say it to anyone but you and my family. Getting up in front of someone who I’m not sure will simply smile and kill me, well I can’t imagine doing it.” Rose said.

  “Your right of course. You just can’t trust many anymore.”

  They sat again not talking . Neither of them wanted to say it first. They didn’t want to know. Instead they wanted to continue to live in a cocooned world. One where last name be damned. Rose wanted him to make love to her again, before they talked. But she also wanted to get it done.

  “Let’s just do it, I have a feeling that it isn’t going to be good. I don’t know why, but it feels like a fear growing deep down inside of me.” Rose finally blurted out. “My last name is McDougal.” She said and watched the color drain out of his face.

  Rose bowed her head knowing that she was not a clan that his family would accept into their fold. Alone with that she knew that her brother would most likely kill Catan just as soon as hear his own sister admit her love to this man.

  “Catan McCloud at your service madam, but just remember that I love you with every fiber of my body. So it doesn’t matter to me what my last name is, as far as I’m concerned you were made to be my love.” He said and she felt the blood rushing from her head.

  She closed her eyes. She didn’t know any clan that would be worse to hear. Her family had been at war so long with the McCloud’s that even Rose had a problem not wanting to kill him because of his last name. ‘I love you too, I don’t care who you are, because you aren’t a blood thirsty McCloud, not like the other ones.” Rose stated.

  ‘What do you mean like all the other ones?” Catan started, and then realized it had been a natural reaction. “No that’s not me, I’m sorry. You and I both know this isn’t a war
that even our fathers know why we are fighting.” Catan said.

  “Yeah I know. It was the McCloud name my father had said when he answered my question. You know the one about why we were fighting certain clans. He had given me an example.” Rose said as the thought back to that day with her father so long ago now.

  “Well Rose, you know take the McCloud’s as an example. I don’t know why we are fighting them. Honestly, I’ve seen some before, when they didn’t know I was around. Otherwise they might have killed me you know. Anyway, they were really nice men and women. I can’t understand it, and I wish I could stop it. But it will take something more than just an old man yelling out. I won’t make a difference to anyone. No they will all simply think I’ve either gone crazy, or they’ve turned me into a spy.” He had told her and she thought about those comments now.

  “You know Catan he told me your family was really full of nice men and women.” Rose said.

  “How did he know? I mean if most of the family saw him he would have never been talking to you. See they aren’t big on asking questions before they kill. Sad to say, but he was either not witnessed, or he might have run into me. I don’t think I would know your father if I saw him when he was alive.” Catan said thinking a bit late about the death of her father just a year ago. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to well.” He stopped unsure of how to really apologize for his slip.

  “No it’s okay, I know what you meant. He had told me that no one had seen him. If they had he would have been dead, he told me. But he said he didn’t do anything, because he didn’t feel it was right. So I had asked him why he didn’t stop the fighting.” Rose continued. “He said that they would think he had gone crazy. He said that it would take then just some old man who was acting crazy or like a spy. Well basically this is what he commented to me that day. I had always found it intriguing to what he meant something more to stop it then just him. Maybe it was us, or is us. You know how much we love each other. Maybe we can make them see that this war is wrong? What do you think?” Rose said looking at him intently.

  Catan sat and considered her idea for a second. But then he thought about how many his brothers and their men would simply kill first. They didn’t care if the McDougal hadn’t done anything to them. Hell they had snuck on one too many of them and killed them. It had happened before the man had even known they were there. One second he had been alive, the next who ever their victim was, he was dead.

  “No it wouldn’t work, well not with my brothers. They wouldn’t listen to a word I said. As soon as they knew you were a McDougal you’d be dead. Well both of us would be dead, because they’d kill me because I will never allow anything to harm you. Never my dear Rose, I love you and when we get out of here. Well I’m sorry but we have to go as far away as we can. We can’t see your brother or anyone in my family. I don’t know what he would be like hearing my name, but I know what my brothers will all do.” Catan shook his head as he had witnessed her death more than once while he was talking.

  “I agree with you, we can’t allow anyone to find us. My brother would barely hear what I would say if I said your last name. He is different than he used to be before our father died. Maybe before his death, Alick may have listened. But not now, he would kill you. In the process he would kill me as well. My love I will never allow anyone to take you from me. I don’t care if I die in helping you, because if you die, I might as well be too. I can’t imagine my life without you, and I’ve only known you such a short amount of time. I don’t know what it is, but I love you so much. It was like we were meant to be. Maybe my father had talked to the witch? What do you think remember I told you what he had said that night? He had said that it would take something more. No I can’t take the chance.” Rose stopped; she knew the wish about some supernatural happenings was just that all a dream.

  Catan went and wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly. “I’m so sorry my love. If I could think of anyway that this would work out, I would take it. But I can’t stand the idea of knowing that you died trying to help me. It makes me so sad when I hear you say that. My life would be nothing without you. I told you what happened that night when I found you right?” Catan asked.

  Rose shook her head. “If you did, I honestly don’t remember. “ She admitted.

  “I was sitting by the fire; I had just gotten it perfect. But I kept hearing this voice in my ear. Like a man was standing right beside me. At first it was just a whisper, but then it became louder. It was urging me to go outside and look for his something precious. I didn’t go at first. I mean it was simply me wondering if my mind had finally snapped. But it became urgent, well his voice became more panicked and sounded important. I couldn’t get it out of my head. So I finally got my coat and boots on and headed out into the woods. The man lead me to you that night, his voice would tell me no this way, hurry, you must hurry. I remember it in my ear perfectly. I found you and the man had started crying. He had told me you were his precious princess and that I had to promise to protect you with my life. That I must make you better, it was important. That we were meant to be together, that we would be the beginning of the end. I didn’t understand him yet, not until you just said that about the witch. Maybe it is possibly, but I don’t think he meant we would stop the war. But we can go far away and begin a new life. One where we can teach our kids differently and they won’t know enemies. We can do this I know we can. But I think your dad visited me that night to lead me to you. Who else could it be?” Catan looked at her hoping she could give him an answer.

  Rose simply sat their stunned at his story. “I’ve heard of stuff like this before. Some of the maids used to talk about their relatives visiting after they died. But I didn’t know if I ever believed it. There were so many times I would cry myself to sleep after my father died. I would beg him to at least come back and see me. But I never saw him, not like the maids said they had seen their relatives.” Rose stated.

  “I don’t know what it was but I know it was something different. I’m just glad that he did it, if it was him. I will thank him aloud every day for the rest of my life. He gave me an angel that night.” Catan smiled.

  She blushed red at the complement. But then her body called out to her. “Touch him and make him touch you.” The lust called out to her. She looked up at him and he knew what her eyes were saying. Their kiss began passionately. They worked their way to the bed quickly and undressed.

  Rose could see the passion in his eyes, and feel the thrumming of her body that was screaming out for Catan.

  Chapter 7

  He lowered her down on the bed and admired her naked body. “You are beautiful my angel.” He said. She looked at his eyes they were clouded with the heat and passion he was feeling for her. Rose felt her body hum as she knew what his touch already felt like.

  Her body seemed to crave it as it felt as if it was shaking all over from the anticipation of him.

  Catan looked at her and lowered his head to give her a kiss. Their tongues fought with each other and he heard her moan. He moved his hand down and lightly touched her sex. Placing one of his fingers inside her, he felt the moisture.

  He brought his finger to his mouth and tasted her juices. They were sweet and tangy. Licking his lips he knew what he wanted to do to her more than anything in this world. He moved his head between her legs and flicked out his tongue touching her extended clitoris. Rose jumped in the air from the touch of his tongue.

  Catan swept his tongue down her slit and tasted the sweet juices he so desired. But he wanted more of them flowing from her. So he sucked her nub into his mouth and lightly nibbled on it. He heard her scream out in pleasure.

  He took one of his fingers and moved it in and out of her slickness as he focused his tongue on her clit. Soon she was moving her hips into the air humping his face like a crazy woman. He could tell she was close and intensified his speed on her clit with his tongue. He felt her legs as they began to tremble and knew that he would soon be splashed with plenty of her juices. Ca
tan moved his mouth to her snatch and stuck his tongue deeply into her, tasting the nectar as her pussy walls vibrated violently against his tongue.

  Rose was screaming out in ecstasy as Catan worked his tongue in and out of her pussy and his fingers were pinching and twirling around her clit. He licked up as much of the sweet taste as he could, then moved up and kissed her as he buried his cock deeply into her pussy.

  She grabbed onto him and ran her fingernails down his back. Catan loved the mixture of pleasure and pain that he felt as he nails felt like they might be drawing blood on his back. Rose’s back began to arch up and her body shook under him once again as she screamed out in another climax.

  He stopped and looked down at her. “You are so beautiful. I love you.” He brushed her hair to the side of her face and kissed her deeply.

  Catan moved and told her. “Climb on top of me.”

  Rose sat down and slowly lowered her snatch onto his dick. When she got to the bottom she sat there for a second enjoying the full feeling of him. Then she did what seemed only natural to her and began moving her pussy up and down on his cock.

  Catan helped her by grabbing her waist and moving her up and down quicker. He could feel his body building to a climax. But what he really wanted was for her to hit another climax. The look on her face was enchanting when she would orgasm. He could see her skin flush a deep red and hear her scream out as her body would shake.

  As he moved her up and down he didn’t know how long it would that he could hold out. He felt his body screaming out in pleasure. His brain was saying stop, but his body wasn’t listening. He wanted to spill his seed and feel her up now.

  She screamed out and he saw her eyes cloud over with the haze of pleasure that he’d witnessed on her before. He knew that she was beginning her orgasm and a second later he felt the thrumming go through her body. His cock was being squeezed as her pussy walls pulsed in response to her orgasm. Catan screamed out as he could hold back no longer and he shot his sperm into her.
