Page 9 of A Love Tethered to the Sun

She looked up at me as happy tears ran down her face. “Thank you, boo. I appreciate you so much. Thank you for being here in this moment with me,” she expressed.

Before another word could be exchanged, the judges called her name.

I observed as they placed the medallions around her neck and handed her a huge trophy.

Creek waved at everyone with a big smile on her face.

She basked in her moment, and my heart soared for her on the inside.

My soon-to-be lady was definitely that girl.

After her tournament and a late lunch with her family, we went back to her place to relax and watch a couple of movies.

“So, how does it feel to be a decorated athlete and break a couple of records of a legend? Damn, you are the truth, woman,” I voiced as I oiled her scalp with coconut oil.

She sat between my legs on the floor, munching on a bowl of homemade popcorn I made her. “It feels surreal most times, but I am used to it. However, breaking two of Eddie Aikau’s records was something I didn’t see coming. But… can I be honest with you about something?” she probed quietly.

“Of course, beautiful.” I placed some coconut oil in the section she had already parted.

“I’ve been doing this for fourteen years now, and I’m tired. I’m ready to settle down, get married, and start a family one day. As much as I appreciate the Kanes for taking me in, I’m ready to shower someone with all the love I have to give. Does this sound insane to you?”

I turned her around to face me. She gazed at me, and I stared into her big, brown, doll-like eyes. Creek needed to know that I felt the same exact way.

“I understand everything you’re saying completely, baby, and I feel the same way you do.

You’re an intelligent, amazing, and talented woman.

I trust your opinion and judgment. Only you know when you’re tired and what you want out of life.

You have my support one hundred percent, and I’ll always be in your corner, love. ”

“Wow. You have so much faith in me. Why?”

“I’ve watched you for the past two years, and I know deep down inside that you’re the woman for me.

No more time apart needs to take place for us to be together.

I'm established, emotionally intelligent, and just like you… I have a lot of love to give. There will never be a day you wake up and question my love and loyalty for you.” Gently, I placed my finger under her chin and tilted her mouth toward me.

I leaned in and kissed those meaty, heart-shaped lips of hers.

Her lips were now mine. Every part of her belonged to me.

We kissed slowly and passionately, but things changed when she rose to her knees and begin stroking my dick.

I unwillingly pulled away from her and looked into her eyes.

“Are you sure you’re ready to take us to that level?

” I asked while looking into her beautiful eyes.

She nodded, causing me to smirk and say, “Baby… I need verbiage for this moment.”

“Yes, baby. I’m ready,” she stated as she stared into my eyes.

“Say less.”

Swiftly, I picked her thick ass up and carried her into her bedroom.

My mouth latched onto hers again as I pulled her extra-large tee shirt above her head.

Her little shorts were snug around her thighs, so I ended our kiss and pulled her little boy shorts off.

Creek’s voluptuous body was on full display.

She lay in her bed, mirroring a real-life centerfold, and I struggled hard to hold my fangs back.

I'd never had this issue before, but things were clearly different since she was my mate. Creek’s knees were bent with her legs spread eagle.

I wished I had a camera because a picture really was worth a thousand words.

However, I'd have to save the image mentally.

I groaned inwardly as I watched her essence drip from her soaking wet pussy.

My tongue traced over my lips as I quickly removed my V-neck and basketball shorts before climbing between her legs.

I wasted no time eating her like a buffet.

“Shit, baby… just like that,” she moaned with her hand on top of my head.

Her toned thighs were wrapped around my neck, locking me in place, as my fingers pinched the top of her pussy, and I slurped on her swollen rosebud.

She pumped against my mouth, smearing her wetness all over me.

Creek’s actions created a frenzy within me because I loved that freaky shit.

My motions sped up, my muscles grew tighter, and I was ready to pull an all-nighter once I filled her up.

I released her pussy from my mouth and wrapped my arms around her thighs.

She gasped when I snatched her thick ass closer to me and buried my tongue back into her honeypot.

Creek was dripping wet; I don't think a waterfall could ever be a match for her.

She had my face, beard, and neck drenched with her essence, motivating me to slightly hump her bed because she had me so turned on that I was harder than I'd ever been. However, she finally freed me from the shackles of her warm and wet cavern. Creek’s legs shook wildly as she squirted on my face.

“Fuck, Pryde!” she exclaimed. She rubbed my face against her wet honeypot, riding out the euphoric haze she was in.

Her face said it all by the way she squeezed her eyes shut, her mouth slightly agape, and her waist thrusting forward—she was feeling it.

I drank from her water fountain like my life depended on it.

“Yes, yes, yes, baby!” she yelled and creamed over my face.

Sneakily, I nicked her swollen clit. “Oh, fuck! Pryde, baby. What are you doing to me?” she asked herself more than me.

My tongue gently caressed over the pricked area.

It was a risky move to make without her permission, but it was a decision I’d to live with.

I had to make sure my baby girl and I were connected before I told her my true identity.

I would now feel her. No matter how far she was away from me, I would always feel and find her.

When I'd had my fill of her, I sat up and snaked my way up her body.

“Baby?” Creek whispered.

“Yes, beautiful,” I answered while I suckled her raisin-sized nipples.

“I—I’m… ooh shit, baby,” she moaned.

“You’re what, baby?” I asked as I continued to savor her nipples while my large tip stirred in her juices.

“I’m a virgin, baby,” she rushed out.

I stopped what I was doing and looked at her. The sincerity in her voice matched her eyes, and I nodded my understanding. “Thank you for being open and honest with me. If you want to stop, we can, love. This is a big move.”

“No. I've kept my virginity this entire time for a man like you. I want you to have my gift, Pryde.”

“I can't thank you enough for your gift. You are mine, Creek. Please believe me when I say I got you,” I replied.

“You’re all mine as well, Pryde Magers, and I know you got me. Now is the time to show me,” she drawled in a sexy tone.

My reply was simply to sloppily lick the crease between her hefty breasts and her nipples again. Once I felt like she was relaxed, I took my time and eased inside of her as I kissed her hungrily. Creek’s arms tightened around my neck as I took my time and pushed my way inside of her.

“Ahh!” She groaned against my mouth as I made it all the way inside.

I didn't move—I sat there, allowing her to adjust to my size. “You okay, baby?” I queried, gazing into her eyes to detect any lies. One lone tear escaped her eye, and I wiped it away with the pad of my thumb.

“I’m fine, baby,” she muttered. I raised my brow to question if she was absolutely sure. Creek flashed me a small smile. “Baby… I'm good. I promise.”

“Okay, love.”

She ushered me to keep going, so I went ahead and brought my baby pure ecstasy the whole night. My baby made me bust a few nuts before we fell asleep.

The next day, I was stuck in one meeting after another.

I’d slept so damn good, I was almost late for my meetings.

My baby had a gold mine between her legs.

However, from the looks of things, I would miss Creek DJing one of her sets, so I shot her a quick text and apologized in advance.

She sent me a bunch of kissy face emojis, saying she understood and that she was going straight to my place afterward.

I smiled at that because I loved going home to my baby.

That was a routine I could never get tired of.

I wasn’t too worried about her safety because Paul and Levi watched her and Healani.

They were two of my best-trained bounty hunters.

“So, what do we know?” I questioned my crew about Creek’s father’s whereabouts.

“We know that he recently made an appearance here on the island. I’m not sure who tipped him off, but someone did because he’s been turning some of the locals, and they’ve joined his new army,” Dax responded from his office chair at the end of the round table.

I turned away from my office window and acknowledged him.

“We have to keep our ears to the ground because I agree with you, brother. From now on, what we say in these meetings better be found staying here. The traps have been set, but we have to—” I stopped mid-sentence when a sharp pain went through my chest. Fear rocked my body heavily.

“Boss, are you okay?” Dax asked me. My ears perked, and I heard my baby girl running for her life.

“Fuck! Creek is in trouble. Someone is after her. Get ready because something might have happened to Paul and Levi.” The siren went off, and I was correct.

I shot out of my office at super speed as I raced to her location.

I'd never run as fast as I am now. My body raced through the street, dodging cars, until my feet had me soaring through the woods.

Her fears and cries for help fueled yet controlled me.

I felt her heart pumping and heard her steps.

As soon as I burst through the thicket of trees, the new vampire bit into her arm.

“Ahh!” Creek hollered and fell to the damp dirt and grass.

All I saw was red and blacked out. Hurriedly, I grabbed the newborn's throat and snapped his neck. When he slumped to the spot next to Creek, I noticed it was Linda’s son, who ran the little bed and breakfast in town.

“It burns, baby! It burns!” Creek screamed as she rolled around in pain. Her suffering filled my ears, snapping me out of my murderous haze. “What’s happening to me?”

“I got you, baby. Believe me… I do.” I scooped her up from the ground, and there was movement behind me. Dax and my other bounty brothers arrived just in time.

“Shit, bro, she’s been bitten,” Dez voiced in shock.

“Fuck!” Dax shouted. “Paul and Levi are dead too. They were attacked by some newborns, and now they’re burning,” he expressed as his eyes flashed gold. “The newborns ambushed my brothers. They could’ve taken a few of them but not an army by themselves.”

“Grab this bitch off the ground and strap him up with the poisonous flora. We’ll get what we need from his punk ass.

Send sun care packages to Paul and Levi’s families.

After that, I’ll meet you all in the dungeon.

That is going to die by my hands. In the meantime, I’m going home to try and make this transition as easy as I can for her. ”

I raced away from the woods and to my house.

Creek withered and screamed in pain as I placed her in my bed.

I zoomed around and collected the things I needed.

I sliced open two thick green foliage and squeezed the chlorophyll down her throat.

Her body calmed down, allowing me enough time to place fresh aloe vera gel on her bite.

Once I was done, I removed her shoes, slid against the headboard, placed her head on my lap, and rubbed her hair.

Eventually, she stopped crying in pain and slipped into a fitful sleep.

My heart ached because now the dynamics of our relationship were about to change.

I wanted to explain things my way and take my time, but thanks to her punk-ass father, the process was sped up.

After a few hours had gone by with me catering to her and her bite, Creek woke up.

I released a deep sigh because now I had to tell her she was transitioning into a sun vampire, and her father was here on the island.

Here goes nothing.
