Remote in the Shadows: A Paranormal Shapeshifter Romance Page 13

  Parker growls low in his chest, and Addison looks at him.

  She growls back in a teasing way.

  He picks her up, carries her to the master bedroom and shuts the door behind them. Gently he sets her on the bed, and she scoots back, lying her head on the pillow.

  Parker crawls up and over Addison, straddling her thighs, then pressing one of his knees between hers. Slowly spreading her legs, still fully dressed, he lowers his body next to hers, kissing her lips.

  Slowly they take off each other's clothing, dropping the articles onto the floor next to the bed. Now, both of them fully naked, Addison opens her legs fully, seating Parker, nestled where he finally wants to be. Fully erect and ready to claim his woman as his mate.

  As Parker uses his fingers to slide to her wet opening, her hot center, waiting for him. He pushes in one finger, making sure she's ready. Oh, she's so ready for him. Parker removes his hand and grabs both of Addison's hands, linking their fingers together, and puts them above her head.

  "Are you okay with this? Our hands like this?" Parker questions her. It's a form of dominance, and he wants to make sure it won't trigger anything with her.

  "This is so good, Parker. I just need you to fill me. Hurry, I can't wait much longer." Addison's breathing is labored, and her eyes are glowing already. Her tiger is at the surface, waiting to mate as well.

  He plunges his hot, aching cock into her. They both shout out and he holds her hands above her head. He gets better leverage as gets up on his knees and pumps into her, wildly.

  The room is lightened by the light of day, but both of their eyes are glowing, leopard and tiger, Addison and Parker, relishing in the mating bond of lovemaking.

  Parker lets go of Addison's hands and wraps his arms under her ribs, lying on top of her, her arms wrapping around his ribs, holding tighter, every tilt and movement he makes inside of her.

  "Addison, you ready, baby? I'm making you mine, right now." He huffs and puffs from the overexertion of this mating with Addison.

  "Yes, Parker! Make me yours!" Her legs wrap around his hips and pull Parker into her center further and she growls. Her claws are extending a bit, feeling her tiger close to the surface, her body about to shudder with her orgasm. So close, just a bit more.

  Parker can feel that she's close, the fluttering in her muscles inside, deep inside. Wrapping around him like a warm, wet cushion.

  Parker lifts up, looking down onto her, she releases her orgasm and screams out, "Ahhhh! Parker, now!"

  Parker's canines elongate and he bites down on her shoulder muscle, between her shoulder and her neck. Addison comes again and he can feel his groin all wet. She's squirted. His hips still pumping out his orgasm into her warm wet core.

  He lets go of her neck as he feels his teeth retracting back to normal human canines. He licks over the wounds, sealing them shut. Addison screams again and her canines bite down on Parker, on the same muscle and she comes again. This time, she has claimed him as her mate and the reaction from her makes Parker come harder than ever.

  They both shout out their long-lasting orgasms and slowly come back down to earth, together. Parker leans to the side and lies down next to Addison, pulling her on top of him.

  Her is head resting on his shoulder. Her arm and leg thrown are over top him. Both of them lay there, breathing heavily.

  Parker's bite from Addison is already healing. He opens his eyes, looking down at her. Her body has a slight glow, all over. The magic is flowing though her.

  She doesn't seem uncomfortable so her body must be accepting his powers. Her tiger already has the healing and slow aging, but why would her body be glowing?

  "Addison, are you okay?" Parker asks cautiously.

  "Umm hmm. Just sleepy," she mumbles back, then her breathing evens out and he knows she's asleep. Her body still in a soft yellow glow.

  He can hear London upstairs starting to wake up so he quickly and carefully removes himself from under Addison, without waking her. He grabs his underwear and puts them on and then covers Addy with the blanket. She doesn't move.

  Parker runs up the stairs to the second floor and opens the door to London's room. She's standing up and looking out her window next to her bed.

  "Hey there, pretty girl. Did you have a good sleep? Let's get you up and changed. Mommy will be awake soon." Parker gets her out and changes her diaper. Bringing her down to the main level, he puts her in the living room with her toys, then quickly enters the bedroom to get his jeans.

  Addison is no longer glowing but is starting to stir. She's waking up, too. Parker pulls on his jeans. He sits on the bed next to Addison, "London just woke up a few minutes ago. I changed her and she's playing in the livingroom."

  Addison stretches and Parker can hear her bones crack in a few places. "Oh, I needed that." Addison laughs.

  Parker kisses her on her forehead and tells her to come out when she's ready. She nods and then he leaves the room, not wanting London to be alone for too long.

  When Parker walks into the living room, London is lying on the floor, her eyes shut and quietly still. Like she's asleep. He rushes over and feels for a fever, a sure sign of the first shift. She's warm, and so still. "London, honey. Wake up."

  Addison comes out of the bedroom, hair brushed out and in a long ponytail, shorts, a cami top, and barefoot. She eyes London on the floor and runs over to her, trying to pick her up. Parker hold her arms back, whispering to Addison, "Let her be, Addy. And watch. She's going to shift soon."

  "Parker, you said a year to eighteen months for their first shift! It's too early for her." Knowing that her first birthday is in two days, Addison and Parker sit cross-legged on the floor with London lying in front of them.

  London's little body glows brighter and starts to tremble. She keeps her eyes closed and she is quiet. Her little body rolls over to her stomach and Addison gasps at the movement.

  Parker holds Addy close and tries to soothe her with reassuring words.

  London's little butt goes up in the air, her arms stretching out in front of her. She yawns big and loud, a small growl coming from her chest.

  The tremors get more and more faster, almost making London a blurry mess on the floor. Her color changes and her clothes disappear. The tremors slow and what's left in London's wake, is a baby tiger.

  Derek was human after all.

  London opens her eyes and yawns again, her little growl coming out to greet Parker and Addison both.

  Parker picks up London under his arm, he stands up and hold out his other hand for Addison. She takes it and he helps her up.

  They make their way outside the back door, and to the forest. Parker in jeans and barefoot. Addison follows Parker into the woods about fifty feet and he sets London down in the dirt ground.

  "London, look at me sweetie. I want you to be a good girl and sit here for a moment, can you do that for me?" Parker asks of the little tiger in front of him.

  She nods and sits back on her haunches, then lies down, her head resting on her front paws. Parker turns to Addison, "Watch me shift, then you do the same. Think of your tiger. Your arms, legs and body becoming your tiger. It might hurt."

  Parker stands back from them both, giving himself room. His body tremors and turns blurry, the next second, there's a baby tiger and a black leopard in front of Addison. Her turn.

  She closes her eyes and pictures the tiger she became. She can feel her body tremble and shake, knowing her body is shifting. There's no pain, but a need to stretch is there. She follows that feeling and opens her eyes. She's eye to eye with the leopard. She's a tiger.

  Can you hear me, Addison? Parker tries to make a mental connection.

  Yes! Oh, my God! How are you doing that? Addison answers him in her mind.

  Were mated. We can connect through our minds. London should be able to hear us as well. When she's able to talk, she'll be able to respond to us this way, Parker explains.

  Come on, I want to show you the river. We can let the cats play. He
chuckles and then he begins to lead them deeper into the forest.

  After an hour of playing in the water and frolicking in the woods, Parker leads his family back to the house. All three of them are now resting on the back porch. He looks to London and Addison, Think of your human form. Let it take over and stretch out.

  Addison closes her eyes, the tremors and the extreme feeling of stretching out overcomes her. She goes with it and when she opens her eyes, Parker and London are in their human form again. They stand up and enter the house.

  Later on, Parker calls Max and asks him, "Have you ever heard of when a human turns into their shifter form for the first time that they glow?"

  "Who is glowing?" Max asks with concern.

  Parker answers back, "Both Addison and London are. London actually shifted early. Her year birthday isn't for a few days and when Addison and I finished the mating bond, she glowed. When she shifted earlier and we all went for our run, she glowed again before she shifted."

  "Holy shit, Parker. If they glow after the bond and when they shift, damn. I've heard of it but I've never seen it happen. It's only been talk. And Addison's a tiger shifter, so it could be…." Max is quiet for a minute, then continues, "Parker, Addison's royalty. In the shifter world, there's a royalty line of tigers. I didn't know if they really existed. I thought they were wiped out, or living elsewhere."

  "Holy shit, Max. Are you sure?"

  "Yes, I'm positive. Have you found out who her parents are yet?" Max questions.

  "No. And I don't think we will ever find out. The writing of the parents listed on her birth certificate is so worn and rubbed off. Maybe it was done like that to put her into hiding. Maybe that's why she was put up for adoption."

  "Wow, man. How does it feel to be linked to royalty?" He chuckles.

  "Max, I don't care if she's royalty or some bum off the street. I love her. And now London's my daughter. Thanks, Max. We'll be in touch."

  Parker walks into the living room and sits next to Addison on the couch. London's playing with her blocks and books.

  "I heard what you said to Max. Sorry to eavesdrop. I can hear everything now. Everything is heightened." Addison looks to Parker, ashamed of hearing the private conversation.

  Parker chuckles and pulls her in for a hug. "It's okay, Addy. I no longer have any secrets from you. I'm yours forever. London and I should make the bond. It's painless. It just means she's now my daughter. Like I'm adopting her. Is that okay with you?"

  "What do you have to do to bond with her?" Addison questions and looks a little concerned.

  "I have to exchange a drop of blood with her. She's a tough little girl and I know she'll be fine," Parker explains to her.

  "Okay then. Can we do this now?"

  "Yes. Give me a minute," Parker replies.

  He closes his eyes and his body trembles a bit, he opens his eyes and they're glowing, his canines elongate. London stands up, and on shaky legs, walks over to Parker, like she knows what to do and expect.

  She holds out her arms and he picks her up, setting her on his lap. He bites his wrist, and London does the same to her wrist, her eyes glowing and her teeth elongated as well. Parker and London lay their wrists on each other, blood side together. When the blood from London touches the blood from Parker, it glows.

  They both take a gasp and the glow dies off. They both lick the small wounds closed. London slides off Parker's lap and onto the floor, resuming her play like nothing ever happened.

  I love you, Addison. Parker sends to her through his mind.

  "I hope you know that. I love you with everything that I am, Addison. And now we're soul mates. London is now my daughter. Does this make you happy?" Parker leans back into the couch, pulling Addison with him.

  Yes, I'm happy. I love you too, Parker, Addison says in her mind. "With everything that I am as well. I love you so much. And I'm happy it was you who found London and me. I'm truly happy here in your arms."

  Parker and Addison kiss gently, pouring their everlasting love into this kiss.

  "Dada."

  Parker and Addison both break the kiss of everlasting love, and look at London.

  She's standing there, looking at Addison, then back to Parker.

  "Dada." She points at Parker. "Momma", she points at Addison. London's first words.

  Parker jumps up, grabs London in his hands and tosses her in the air. "Yes, little girl, I'm your daddy! Wa hoo!"

  Parker is extremely excited that London is talking. She's made her first shift. Addison made her transition from human to tiger easily. London is a thriving, growing little girl.

  Parker eases back into the couch, letting London play with her toys again. "I'm the happiest I've ever been. I have a family!"

  Addison looks down to her hands tangled with Parker's fingers. "Parker, listen. Listen closely." Parker looks confused.

  "What do you hear, Addison?" He asks.

  "Be quiet. Listen very closely. You can just hear it. A faint thumping," Addison whispers.

  "I hear it now. Oh wow, Addison. Thank you!" He rests his hand over the lower part of Addison's stomach. The thumping is the start of a new life. Created by the love of Addison and Parker.

  Now, they can truly be a family.
