Kentucky Magic

Part 3, Chapter 4

Katherine closed her eyes as she heard Edward recite the exact words from the ancient ritual associated with the magical pendant. All that was required now was for Edward to press his chest against hers, locking the pendant between them. This wasn’t what she had wanted to happen when she set out to find the mythical pendant.

The heat of his hand pressed to her body was nothing compared to the devouring fire that started as his flesh met hers. The pendant remained over her heart and Edward’s chest pressed lightly against her. The power was sweeping through her. It was stronger than any psychic power she’d ever felt or any magical spell conjured up by herself or another. The love was moving through them both, traveling through the veins and arteries and sending electric bolts through each and every nerve ending.

Opening her eyes, she saw Edward was watching her intently. Slowly he straightened back up and this time he moved off her. Katherine took a deep breath and started to sit up. He moved swiftly and slipped the golden chain around her neck. The pendant fell to lie between her breasts.

“Do you want me to go now, Edward?”Katherine asked quietly, reaching for her sweater. Maybe he would let her go—

“No,Katherine. I want to make love to you.” He reached out covered her right breast with his hand. She wasn’t particularly gifted in the area, but his palm was curved around the firm breast. Her taut, distended nipple pressed eagerly forward. Whether she moved, or his hand shifted, her sensitive bud rubbed against his flesh. Katherine wanted to deny that she bowed her back on purpose, which pushed her breast more fully into his grasp. “God! You feel so sweet. I need to kiss you.”

Edward pulled her into his arms, covering her lips with his. Katherine told her body to resist him, or at the very least not help him! But she opened her mouth and welcomed his tongue eagerly. Her hands lifted to caress his chest, upwards to his shoulders. It felt like tiny electric explosions went off in her fingertips every time she touched him. But when Edward pressed his hand to her flesh, she felt like the explosions were happening not just on her skin. No. They traveled along her nerve endings and were setting her libido into over drive. It was silly, but she still felt compelled to tell him.

“I need you Edward. Take me. Make love to me, please.”

“Hush, darling. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than making love to you.”

Before she could think, or reply, Edward turned them on the bed. Her shoes disappeared. Did she kick them off or did he remove them? She lifted her hips as his hands tugged her pants over her hips and down her thighs. Yes, she was sure that she pushed them the rest of way down, only to send them flying with a kick of her leg. Beyond that thinking was becoming more difficult with each passing moment.

When Edward’s mouth moved down the side of her neck, Katherine stopped thinking about what he was doing to her body. From here on out all she did was to feel and savor and simply languish in all the wonderful ways he making her body respond. She was drowning in sensual delights. The sucking of her nipple brought soft sighs from her throat.

With his hand between her thighs, she shifted on the bed. His fingers moved sinuously across her smooth lips. Katherine moved her thighs further apart, hoping he would proceed further.

“Yes, Edward,” she whispered close to his ear. Caressing her fingers through his short, dark hair, Katherine pressed her lips to the side of his neck. She nibbled gently to his ear lobe and then she nipped it firmly. “Now, please!” she demanded fiercely a few seconds later.

Grinning at her, Edward moved above her. “Your pleasure is my command. Tell me what gives you the sweetest of satisfaction.”

Katherine felt herself blush in the moonlit room. “Uhm…I don’t have much experience—”

“Shh. It’s all right, Katherine. My pleasure will come in giving you satiation.” Edward moved his hand, his fingers.

“Oh God!” Katherine groaned as she felt his fingers so deftly feeling his way. And while he was seeking the point to pleasure her, she sensed that to Edward, the journey was just as sweet as the goal and attaining it. As his clever touches showed her, pleasure began rising through out her body. There was no warning as the cataclysmic event crashed her nervous system. Without rhyme or reason, Katherine’s muscles began jerking and flexing for several long seconds. Then they settled into irregular quivers and shivers as the final reactions traveled around her body.

Edward considered for a few moments, really just two seconds, before he withdrew his hand and thrust into Katherine’s still quivering body.

“God!” he muttered, surprised at the tightness which enclosed him. He reached towards her thighs, but as if she read his mind, her legs were already lifting and encircling his hips. “Yes, that’s it, Katherine.”

Beginning slowly, he moved in and out of the intoxicating flesh which held his cock so securely. Edward looked into Katherine’s eyes. He felt the need to connect with her on a deep level than just physically.

“Keep looking at my eyes, Katherine. I want us to be together, more than physically.”

Her eyes opened and Edward felt like he was falling into the ocean that was Katherine. He felt that he needed to think, but that was impossible. His body demanded satisfaction and release. From a distance he heard Katherine’s voice speaking to him.

“Yes, Edward, come inside me. I need you. Please!”

As if he required further encouragement, Edward began moving more quickly. His thrusts were shorter and faster until he climaxed. His back arched and he groaned loudly. He realized that this was better than it had been for longer than he could remember. Wishing he could stay inside her longer, the slight shaking in his upper arms and shoulders told him he couldn't. Separating from Katherine, he dropped onto the bed beside her.

“Wow, honey!” Edward murmured quietly as he dragged air in and out of his lungs. He couldn't believe how good he felt right now. It was amazing—

“I need to get going.”

Edward rolled to his side to look at Katherine. He reached out and put his hand flat on her belly. “Wait a minute! What’s the rush?”

Propping himself up on his elbow, he looked at the woman lying beside him. Her short hair was mussed sexily and her eyes looked like dark pools. Her lips were full and looked slightly bruised. On the side of her neck, the area that he’d sucked too heavily was already making its presence known. Moving his eyes down, he stared at her pert breasts. The nipples were still distended and he couldn't resist sliding his hand upwards and cupping her farthest breast.

For at least a minute, Edward played with her breast, pausing to pay extra attention to her nipple. He then slid his hand over to pick up the pendant. “Tell me about this little trinket first.”

Katherine took a deep breath. “You need not feel that this…uhm, well, I don’t expect anything—” She stopped abruptly as she realized how bad that sounded.

“I expect quite a bit though.”

Katherine quickly looked away from Edward’s eyes. “I mean that you aren’t responsible for what just happened, and I understand that you were powerless.”

Edward dropped the pendant, pressing his hand to her stomach again. “I’m not a guy shies away from responsibility. I can take criticism in bed and I believe that I’ve always been open to suggestions and requests. But Katherine, powerless?”

  “Oh my, God! I didn’t mean that. No, not all, Edward, it was nice. Wait…uhm it was more than nice, really. I meant to say that it was fantastic. Great…uhh, oh…now I remember. Mind-blowing! That’s the right word.”

Wishing she could hide under the covers, she finally shut up. Should she apologize? Everything was getting all screwed up! Damn it!

“I don’t think things are screwed up at all, sweetheart. You need to take some deep breaths and calm down. I should have shut up about the powerless thing, Katherine. But I was trying to tease you a little and ease the tension I could feel.”

Katherine lifted her farthest hand and covered her eyes. Even though she was the one who kept mucking things up, Edward was the one who apologized. Dear God, how did she get so lucky to meet Edward? Was it truly fate that he’d taken the pendant into his hand?

“It’s all my fault,” she mumbled, unable to stop the emotional tears welling up.

Edward pulled her hand away. “You seem to think, if I gathered the facts correctly, that this pendant forced me to make love to you. Is that correct?”

Katherine nodded, sniffling loudly.

“I suppose the fact that I have a sexy woman in my bed for the first in a long time had nothing to do with it.”

Katherine shook her head negatively. “If you had not held the pendant, none of this would have happened.”

“Well that would have sucked, in my opinion.”

Katherine couldn't stop the bubble of laughter that burst out. “Yes, but it did happen. We can’t pretend it didn’t.”

“You’re saying that there is no way we can go without making love again?” Edward asked quietly, but Katherine saw the way his one eyebrow went up, expressing his disbelief.

 “Yes. You held the pendant and said the words.”

“What words, sweetheart?”

“You said ‘we will be complete.’ Then you completed the ritual by placing the pendant to your heart, mine and finally between us.”

“Katherine, honestly, do you think the pendant controlled me? Us?”

“It’s magical. The pendant is quite old—”

“And the fact that I’ve been attracted to you from the moment I saw you had nothing to do with it? Or that I had the ‘hots’ for you all evening?”

Katherine could feel the heat zoom through her at his words. At least she knew that the looks he’d been giving her all evening were exactly what she’d thought. She couldn't stop her lips from curving upwards. “Maybe too much wine?”

“Not on my part. I was completely sober when I tackled you. By the way, I didn’t hurt you, did I?”

“No, I’m fine. Actually, I’m a whole heck of a lot better than fine.”

Edward grinned in reply. “So am I. In my humble opinion, Christmas just came to me early.”

Katherine wasn’t completely sure what he meant. “I’m your Christmas present from Santa?”

“Well, I am going to unwrap you quite a few more times before Christmas actually gets here. But in my family, if you were ever lucky enough to get a gift prior to Christmas morning, it was considered extra special because it came from Mama Claus, not Santa.”

“That’s an awfully sweet sentiment.”

“It was my grandmother who started that tradition. My brothers have continued it with their children and even a few grandchildren now.”

“I think that’s a lovely tradition. Uhm, do you have any children?”

“No, sweetheart, I do not. No ex-wives either, lurking in my background. I’ve been all business for too many years, which is how I ended up here.”

“In bed with me you mean?”

“Yes. Maybe this is fate, kismet, or due to some magical pendant. All I care about is that we are here, together. Katherine, this is what I want. I don’t have a single doubt. In fact, I think I knew from the first moment that I saw you.”

Edward leaned down and kissed Katherine’s soft mouth. She sighed as he cupped his hand over her breast once again. Suddenly a strange thought popped up and she had to push Edward away for a moment.

“I know this might sound weird, but you don’t think that because you met Trina first…I mean I know we look a lot alike.”

Edward shook his head. “You twit. Trina is the girl-child that you once were. When I see her that is what I see. The lovely girl I never had a chance to meet. You are the full bloom of her promise that some young man will one day discover in her. But you Katherine are beautiful and wonderful and everything I want and need.”

“We’ve only just met, really.”

“Is this the go slow speech? I can do that, Katherine. I’m not a brute who has to eat it all at one go. Small meals work just as well.”

Edward slid his hand down her body, cupping her mound as his fingers slipped between her wet lips. Moving around, his fingers found her clit. He didn’t touch her outright, but rather circled around the sensitive flesh. His voice was deep and hoarse as he spoke to her.

“I like to nibble.”

Katherine gasped as his fingers zeroed right in on her clit. Over and over he teased her flesh until her hips were jerking and pressing onto his hand to heighten the sensations. Before she could completely peak with just Edward’s fingers, he moved over her once again. His cock filled her body slowly this time. He began a slow dance that worked her passion upwards once again. Her orgasm shook her entire body, and it was so incredible feeling him deeply inside her.

Katherine watched Edward’s face as he continued thrusting into her. The words inside her could be contained no more. “I love you, Edward.”

Edward paused and smiled at her. “I love you also, Katherine. Welcome back home.” 

Katherine heldEdward tightly as he soon climaxed deep inside her. Thanks Mama Claus, she thought to herself. Thank you very, very much.

Epilogue

Trina propped her feet on the deck rail as she waited for the phone to be answered. She was so tired—

“Hi Tommy! Did you miss me at school today?”

“Of course I did. Where were you? What’s going on?”

“I just got home from the hospital, Tommy.”

“Are you okay?”

“Oh, yeah, Tommy. Sorry. The baby came halfway through the night. Edward brought me home. He grabbed a shower and headed back to the hospital. Katherine wanted to make sure I got a good night’s sleep so I won’t miss school tomorrow.”

“Considerate of her, huh?”

Trina giggled. “Yeah, she pointed that out.”

“So, you feel any older?”

“Why would I feel older?”

“Aren’t you some kind of aunt or older sister now?”

Trina frowned and shifted her feet on the rail. “I don’t know. But I think I just got a new uncle, except he’s fourteen years younger than I am.”

“This means lots of baby sitting.”

“Of which you’ll have to come over and help. After all, you are the one with the kid experience.” Trina giggled into the phone. “You’ll never guess what they called him.”

“The kid? Bugs Bunny? Rooster Cogburn?”

“Stop! Now you’re just being silly, as Katherine tells Edward. Must be a ‘man thing.’ Anyway, they are calling him ThomasSullivanJohnson. I’ve already started saying ‘little Tom’ to him.”

“Why Thomas?” Tommy asked, his curiosity coming through clearly across the phone line.

“Edward’s father. I guess all of his family will be coming to visit before long.”

“You won’t know what to do now that you aren’t the only kid in the house,” Tommy pointed out.

“I’ll get by, as usual. Oh, anyway you could come over for a while tonight?”

“My mom just walked by and told me to invite you here for supper. Craig said he’d give me a ride over to pick you up.”

“Okay, I’ll call Kat from your place. There is something I wanted to show you tonight.”

“What’s that?”

“It’s a secret, but you have to promise not to touch it.”

“You have lots of places that you’ve me promise not to touch yet. What’s one more?”

Trina giggled as she lifted the golden pendant where it had been hidden beneath her shirt. “I know Tom, and when the time is right…we’ll do all the touching we want. When it’s our time.”

She wasn’t a girl who played with fire. Trina knew she was a young woman who knew who she wanted. All she needed was for time to pass…then she and Tom would use the pendant to start their lives together. When the time was right—

The End
