Chapter 20: The Sinclair Suite

I sighed. Were they all cryptic as fuck? I finished eating, returned the tray to the dumbwaiter and headed back to the bathroom wondering if I could find a toothbrush. I staggered to a stop when I saw the arsenal of toiletries that were now on the bathroom vanity.

They had definitely not been there when I took my shower. Shaking my head out the amount of magic the Sinclairs possessed I took care of getting ready for bed.

There was no point in fighting it, as there was literally nothing else in the suite that I could use to pass the time. No books, no magazines, no television, or music.

When I felt my shoulders begin to sag with fatigue I dropped my towel on the floor. Then I shifted into a fox and jumped up on the bed. I curled up next to Ellery and was asleep before I knew it.

When I woke the next morning Ellery was snuggling into my chest, one of her long legs wedged between mine, we were both naked, and I was as hard as a rock.

I knew why I was naked, having needed to shift, but I’d never shifted back to human form in my sleep before. Ellery on the other hand, I had left fully clothed on top of the covers, yet here we were with only a sheet over us.

“Oh gods. Ellery.” I tried to wiggle away but this only caused her to move against me making my erection even more painful. “Ellery,” I groaned as her eyes fluttered open and a smile spread across her face.

“Alexander,” she sighed and closed her eyes again as she relaxed into me. A second later I felt her body stiffen and her eyes flew open. “Alexander? What? How? When?” She paused as her eyes focused on the room. “Oh.” She grinned at me. “We’re in the Suite. You claimed me.”

She leaned in to kiss me and I yelped, moving away and shoving my pillow in front of my crotch. She propped herself up on her left elbow, confused. “I don’t understand, you had to have claimed me or we wouldn’t be here.”

“Could you,” I swallowed and closed my eyes, “adjust the sheet please?” The tops of her nipples were showing and I didn’t think I could handle much more. “Or put on a shirt?”

“Emerson brought us here, didn’t he?”

“How’d you know?” I risked opening my eyes and saw she’d adjusted the sheet.

“Because he’s the only one who wouldn’t have bothered to explain how the Suite works. The Sinclair Suite exists separately from time and space for the sole purpose of giving members of my family the privacy and security necessary for this part of our courtship.

“So I can’t put on a shirt or anything else for that matter. The Suite gives and takes to accomplish its goal.” She looked around before saying “and it appears to have taken everything but the bed.”

I sat up. “Holy shit. Ellery, there was a bathroom over there and doors to a living room there last night.”

“They’ll come back eventually. Right now the Suite seems to think all we need is each other.” I looked back at her and whimpered.

“What’s wrong?” Her eyes opened wider. “Oh, you’re confused. This is a lot to take in. The Suite appears when a Sinclair claims or is claimed by their Other.”

“And I claimed you? How?”

“Did you say anything like ‘you’re mine’?”

“I said she’s mine.” I thought for a second. “Twice.”

“Twice? Really?” Her face lit up and the sheet started to slip. “I wish I had been awake to hear it. I’ve wanted to hear you say those words for so long. What made you say it?”

“Coach Murphy let Lee take you away to warm you up after they stuck you in the showers, and it hurt so fucking bad, and when he asked me why I cared that’s all I could think to say.”

Ellery ran her hand over mine. “And now that it’s just us, here, do you still feel this way?”

I looked at her, lying there with only a sheet covering her magnificent body, and her tousled bed head, and my loins and heart clenched at the same time.

“I do. So help me, I do. You’re mine, Ellery. I don’t know why or how, but I’d rip the throat out of anyone who tried to take you away from me.”

“No one can, not now. Say it again.”

“You’re mine.”

She sat up and let the sheet fall away. I’d closed my eyes when I’d removed her bra the night before, and the way I had imagined her breasts was nothing compared to reality. I threw the pillow aside and pulled her to me.

“Again,” she purred into my ear.

“Mine.”

She kissed me and a thousand sensations assaulted my body and nothing else mattered but tasting her. My hands moved without conscious thought; the right sliding down to grip her ass and lift her into my lap while the left cupped her breast.

I ran my thumb over her nipple and had the pleasure of hearing her breath hitch. I lifted her breast and tipped my mouth to it.

“Mine,” I said as I drew her nipple into my mouth with my tongue.

“Yes,” she groaned, and she tried to shift in my lap, but I held her tight. I moved onto the other breast and gave it the same treatment.

“Mine,” I repeated as I lifted her to lie on her back. “All mine,” I said as I shoved the sheet aside and slid my hand between her thighs. “Only mine. Say you’re mine, Ellery,” I ordered as I slipped my finger inside of her.

“Only yours. Only ever yours. Alexander, please. Don’t make me wait any longer.”

“Oh not yet, beautiful. When I take you the only word you should be able to say is my name.” I worked her over with my fingers; stroking, probing, and pushing her to the brink.

“Alexander,” she cried.

“Yes?” I replied, never stopping my hand.

“Alexander.” Her voice shook and she tried to inch away from my hand.

“Is that all you can say, Ellery?” I asked before lowering my mouth and licking the juices from her that were slicking my hand.

“Alex-an-der,” she whimpered.

“Open your eyes Ellery. I want to see them while I claim you the way I’ve wanted to since I first laid eyes on you.” I moved on top of her and rubbed my shaft against her, getting it coated with her desire.

“Open your eyes for me,” I ordered as I eased the tip in. “Open them or I won’t enter you.”

Ellery’s eyes blazed open and with a thrust of her pelvis she raised herself up and drove me into her. I swore as she wrapped her legs around me, pulling me in even tighter.

“Don’t tease me like that again, Alexander. “

My breaths came in gasps as she moved beneath me, moving just the way I liked, and in ways I never knew I needed.

“Ellery,” I pleaded. “Holy shit, Ellery, you’re driving me crazy.”

“Good,” came her reply as she squeezed me with her body. My arms began to shake.

“You’re going to make me cum,” I groaned.

“I know,” she said. “You’re mine too, Alexander. Tell me you are.”

“I’m yours,” I managed to choke out.

“Mine.”

“Yes!” I cried out.

She swiveled her hips and squeezed me again. I exploded inside her; her own orgasm tearing through her and making mine even more intense. When at last the convulsing stopped and I collapsed on her I felt beyond empty.

I rolled over onto my back, pulling her with me to have her rest on my chest. We lay like that until she moved her leg and I realized that not only was she still holding me inside of her, but that I was growing harder by the second.

“Ellery,” I growled. “Good gods, I can’t.”

“That’s not what your dick is telling me.”

Despite everything I snorted with laughter. “My balls are singing a different song.”

She purred and sat up enough to reach behind her and fondle them. “Maybe they just need a woman’s touch.”

I groaned, enjoying the mixture of pleasure and pain she was producing when I was struck by a horrible thought. I sat up in a panic. “Has the bathroom come back?”

She frowned at me. “Why do you ask? You don’t need it.”

I looked at her in annoyance. “Gross. No, it isn’t about that. I, we, Ellery, we didn’t use protection. We’ve got to get my stuff out of you. I love you, but I don’t think we’re ready to be parents.” She shifted on top of me and I hissed at her. “Ellery.”

“Alexander. The Suite exists outside of space and time. Life cannot be created or destroyed here.”

“Oh.”

She kissed me and with a reluctant sigh climbed off of me. “There’s so much you don’t know.” A small whine of protest escaped my throat, but it turned into a groan of appreciation as she stretched her arms over her head, completely unfazed by her total nudity. I turned on my side to watch.

“I wanted to see your face when you came.”

She smiled as she ran a hand through her hair. “Plenty of time for that. Care to join me in the tub?”

“Has the bathroom returned?” She nodded. “Is the tub big enough for two?”

“It will be as big as we need it to be,” she replied as she extended her hand for mine.
