Grounded By Love (The Giant Wars #2)(75)

"Well, either way, thank you. Even if no one ever shows, it was the thought that counts."

He guided her back out of the room. "Let's join the meal, and then you can come back to organize the supplies. I’m sure I didn’t set it up the way you would like."

"Sounds fine by me."




Strangley enough, rock giants did start to slowly trickle through her care. Her hopes were raised that she might have a chance at winning all of these people over.

So far, she’d treated mostly women. It seemed as though they were more willing to accept her, then she’d previously thought. It was a start, and that was all that mattered to her.

Claira had also received many more gifts from them as payment, and it delighted her to no end. Clearly, they thought her healing to be good enough to bring her gifts as a thank you.

After a few more days passed, her clientele grew to be a mix of both men and women. Claira was pleasantly surprised by the turnout. But as more people came, she was able to tell Kaeldar's parents were less than thrilled of her apparent success.

Clearly, they hadn't thought she’d be able to impress anyone. Then she pulled healing from out of her sleeve. They didn’t seem to think it was such a blessing, if the glares she received were any indication of their feelings.

If she were able, she would’ve loved to get along with his parents. She could see it would all be a dream, never to come true. There was no way she’d be able to please them, unless of course she decided to leave their land.

But she wasn't about to give up her place by Kaeldar's side. That is unless Kaeldar gave her signs that everything between them was over. Which he kept renewing her hope that nothing was over, not yet, at least.

She felt as though she was poking a dangerous animal, and she was terrified his parents would eventually bite. It was all just a matter of time.

"How has it been going? I feel as though I haven't been able to see you as much lately." Kaeldar's voice broke through the silence of her healer’s room.

Turning she found him leaning against the doorway. "I've been kept busy by the amount of rock giants coming by." Then she added, "To my complete surprise."

"I realize it was my idea, but the number of people who have come to see you has astonished even me. I must admit, I’m getting slightly jealous, since I haven't seen you in a while."

She gave a twinkle of a laugh. "Surely not."

He gave a deep growl. "I need you."

Before she had a moment to blink, he was right in front of her. His strong hands wrapped around her waist, he lifted her onto one of the tables, and started to kiss her neck.

"What are you doing?" She giggled, as he kissed his way up her neck and to her lips. He deepened the kiss, his tongue slyly working its way into her mouth, as their tongues danced together.

Her hands wound their way into Kaeldar's silky black hair, as her legs spread to allow him to scoot in between them. Her legs entwined themselves around his lean hips, and his hands came down to clasp her buttocks, scooting her closer to his groin.

She gasped, breaking the kiss, as she felt his hard member.

"Kaeldar." She tisked in a naughty voice, knowing very well nothing would stand in his way of getting between her thighs, and she wouldn't have it any other way.

A frustrated growl came up his throat, as he chastised her. "Don't."

She leaned back in, to rekindle the kiss. The growls he made caused shivers of pleasure to wash over her skin. This was something she wouldn't ever get enough of.

He flipped up her skirts, surprising her as he untied his trousers, his cock springing forth.

As he started to push her forward, she put her hands on his shoulders and asked, "Here? Now? Are you sure it’s appropiate?"

"Yes, it is, and we will do it here and now."

She was about to open her mouth to protest, when he put a hand to her lips. "Not another word, Claira. Not unless it is you panting my name, while you clench around my cock."

That image distracted her from any more complaints.




"She is getting more poular with the people. What are we going to do? We need to do something, and we need to do it quickly." The queen clung to the king’s arm, her nails digging into his skin. "I don't want my only son to be with this human female any longer. We can't let it continue!"

"I hadn't expected her to have such talent. A talent that would make our people turn a blind eye to the fact she is human." The king admitted aloud, surprising both of them for a few seconds.

"How will you ever get rid of her? Kaeldar is having her guarded by men he knows he can trust." The queen moaned. "I just don't know why he keeps bedding that human female, since she has nothing our females don't have."

"He isn't the only one with men faithful to him. I too have men I can use, and they will agree that she needs to go. Soon, my dear, we won’t have anything to worry about. Trust me."

"Always." The queen whispered up at him, adoration shining brightly in her black eyes. “I just wished Kaeldar knew how poisinous this human female was for him.”

“Perhaps he is not the right male for the kingship.”

The queen gasped. “How can you say such a thing? He is our son, it’s his bithright to rule after you.”
