Her Guardian's Heart Read Free

else. I reached out my mind to peek through one of my mates’ eyes, but found a wall there. They didn’t want me cheating. That would be too easy.
    “No fair for you to be peeping. We’ll just have to punish you for that.” Nick licked my neck.
    I bit my lip and waited for the strike. I expected to hear the crack of a whip or the slap of a paddle, but instead sharp pain struck my back. It dug into my skin like barbs and was then taken away. Before I could recover, I was hit again with more force. I arched forward and moaned. Another strike landed on my stomach.
    “Ouch!” I cried out.
    Someone’s tongue ran over the wounds, lapping at the blood seeping from them. Once the touch of the tongue wound over the gashes, I knew they were mending. They were both at my back and at my front. Fingers slipped between my pussy and began to manipulate my clit. Before I could reach the pinnacle of an orgasm, another slap of pain wracked my back. The pain enveloped me. Now that I knew what to expect I also knew how to flow with it. To drop within the hurt and let it consume me. When the next hit came, I was prepared and it brought me over the edge, driving me higher and higher. But before I could come, I sensed another strike was coming soon. This time they were across my back and my legs at the same time. Both my mates were trying to launch me into another world. When they stopped, I was left wanting more. They moved the silky strips down my body again and then their tongues were on me. Each one was lapping at the gashes and healing them.
    “Are you okay?” Nick asked me.
    I couldn’t answer him because I cried out from the orgasm that swept over me. Another crack from the barbs hit me across the ass. The sudden explosion forced my hips forward. At the next one, I came hard and lost my breath. I wasn’t sure if I could take any more. I gripped the rope and waited for the next blow.
    “Have you had enough yet?” Landon asked.
    I tried to answer him, but at that moment, I sensed something. I tried to focus on it, but another blow came. I cried out. My power flared to life.
    “Let me down. Let me down!” I screamed.
    “What’s the matter? Can’t take it?” Nick chuckled and ran his tongue along my stomach.
    I shook my head, trying to get loose. My power crackled. The wards around the house were falling. Someone knew how to counteract my power. I needed to get to my room to reinforce the protection spells. My mates didn’t understand what was happening.
    “No. They’ve come for me. Please! Get me down.”
    My mates scrambled to release me. Nick caught me and undid my wrists. I didn’t have time to waste. Landon snarled behind me. I pulled the blindfold off and then rushed toward my room, where my altar and other things were. The men were right behind me. I stopped them at the door.
    “Landon, take the back. Nick, there’s another coming up the front. They are stronger than I’ve felt in a long time.” The others looked at me and I saw the love in their eyes. I prayed to the goddess they would be okay before I raced toward my altar and threw myself into every spell I knew.
    The energy of the earth rose along my spine. I could feel the intruders breaking through the wards I had erected around the house. They were trying to hack into the vibe of my magic to take it out from the inside. But they didn’t know that I mixed my energy with a vampire and a werewolf. It might slow them down. I placed my hands on my largest crystal and focused my power through it. Within my mind, I saw the ones coming for us. It nearly stopped my heart when I saw the leader. Eric.
    He looked up, sensing my power. Little sis, what a surprise.
    What are you doing here?
    Just doing a little exterminating. Heard about this nest. Never figured I’d find you here. The smug tone was apparent in his voice.
    Bullshit. You didn’t come here looking for a nest. You came here looking for me. I’m warning you. Don’t make me hurt you.
    You left the
