Dietrich
~~
We had just seen the others off. They were heading to California because the murders had finally hit North America. And, apparently, the five most recent murders had taken place all along the California coast. These people, whoever they were, were starting to venture into more territory.
I don't know if they used the new killers in California while the others took a rotation off, or if these murders in the States were the same ones that had been wreaking havoc across the three continents that they had already been to so far. I just didn't know what the situation here was, so it was hard to think about it.
Honestly, there was so much that we didn't know about this case, even though we had been investigating it for a while now. And that was annoying. If we didn't find a way to figure this out soon, then I was afraid that we weren't going to be able to save anyone else from dying unnecessarily.
I knew that all these deaths were taking their toll on everyone. On Trinity, the queen that felt like she was failing her people. On Reece, the king that couldn't save his queen from this heartache. On all the guards that were helping to investigate. Especially on my Shawn. He was such a sensitive soul. He might hide it most of the time, especially from his brother, but I knew what he was really like. He couldn't hide the heartache that he was feeling from me.
.....
Maybe, if we found something while investigating here in Germany, we could alleviate some of the pain that he was feeling. And well, maybe I could alleviate some of it as well. He needed to have some time to relax. It's like Trinity and Reece said recently, well, specifically Reece but who is going to say anything about it right now. If we don't rest, then we're going to burn out. That was a paraphrasing of his words, but they were spot on. And for the rest of tonight, I am going to go ahead and let Shawn relax and calm down.
I mean, if I wasn't able to do this for my husband, then what sort of husband was I? I needed to take his mind off of this whole mess. At least until the morning came around. He needed to stop thinking about death. He needed to stop thinking about murderers, killer cultists, and whatever else it was that went through his mind.
Not to mention, it wasn't often that we visited the castle. And we almost never got to visit the castle without the kids in tow. Yes, four of them were in college, and in the next two years there would be more in college, but they would forever be our children and they would be welcome to join us on these family vacations.
I wanted to take advantage of the time that we were going to have alone. I wanted to show my mate that I felt just as strongly about him now, after almost twenty years, as I did the day that I met him. Hell, I felt even more love and desire for him if anything. And I wanted him to feel that.
“Dietrich?” Shawn called out to me as he was going up the stairs. “I am going to take a shower. I don't think that we should stay up that late.” I smirked at his words.
“I agree, Liebe. We should head to bed early this evening.” Though, I did not add that we wouldn't be sleeping when we went to bed this evening.
I let Shawn have a head start up the stairs. If he were already in the shower, then he wouldn't be able to protest me joining him. And well, once I was in the shower, I could do what I wanted with him. This was already working out in my favor. Thank you, Shawn, my love.
After about three minutes, which was all that I could make myself wait, I rushed up the stairs toward our room. When I snuck into our room, I heard the shower running. The water hadn't been on for long, but I knew that Shawn was getting ready to head in and wash himself. I walked across to the door to the bathroom, stripping my clothes as I went. I would pick them up later.
“Hmm hmm hmmm hmm hmm hmmm.” Shawn was humming as he opened the door and stepped under the steaming spray of water. I could hardly see him since the steam was fogging up the glass already. Dammit! I wanted to see more.
Slipping into the room noiselessly, I stepped from one shadow to the other until I was outside the door and about to join him.
“Stop sneaking around and get in here already. And you're picking up those clothes that I heard you drop on the floor.” He was running water on his head as he spoke, facing away from me with his eyes closed. He didn't see me at all, but he had sensed me.
“How did you know that I was going to join you?” I laughed out the question as I joined him under the water. I moved close against his back and pressed myself against him. He was warm, covered in muscle but still soft to my touch.
“I knew it the moment that I told you I was getting in the shower. I could already see the hungry look in your eyes. That was why I decided to come up here. I was giving you an opening that I knew you wouldn't be able to resist.” At that, Shawn turned to face me, his wet chest pressing against mine and I could feel the steady beat of his heart thumping against me.
“I love you.” I whispered as I leaned in to kiss him.
“I know.” He managed to say that just before my lips sealed his in a blindingly hot kiss. The water that was falling onto our shoulders and splashing onto our cheeks was hot, but it was nothing when compared to this scalding kiss.
I felt Shawn slide his arms around my neck, pulling me in closer and deepening the kiss on his own. He did this before I even had the chance to wrap my arms around his waist and hold him against me.
“I needed this.” Shawn whispered when he pulled away and broke the kiss. He pressed his cheek against mine and whispered into my ear. “I need you, Dietrich.”
“I am always here for you, Liebe. I will always be here for you.” I nuzzled against his cheek in response as I whispered in his ear. “I feel like it's been so long since we have had any time alone together.”
“We're alone now, Dietrich, and you can do whatever you want with me.” Shawn was grinning when I pulled away now.
“You don't want to give me free range, Shawn. You know how big my appetite is. I might not let you rest very much tonight.” I know that the heated look in my eyes was darkening the blue that was usually almost white. Now it would be something a little more substantial.
“I trust you, Dietrich. You know as well as I do, that we have work to do tomorrow.” He separated our bodies and I felt him running his hand down the front of my body. “Besides, I have a lot that I want to do to you as well.”
I gasped when Shawn wrapped his hand around my already erect shaft, but I was in for more of a shock when I saw Shawn start to lower himself to his knees. The entire time that he was sinking to the floor, Shawn was looking up at me, never taking his eyes off of mine.
“I guess I will be the one to get us started tonight.”
I couldn't believe that this was happening. I mean, Shawn initiated things between us often enough that it shouldn't surprise me, but this was so sudden that I didn't know how to respond. And I thought that I was the one that was going to be starting all of this. I thought that I would be the one that treated him to the special tricks and teased him. Now it was being turned around on me and I didn't know what to do.
The next moment, Shawn slid his mouth down and around my shaft and I groaned instantly.
“Ngh!” It felt so amazing, and he was just getting started. He slid his mouth all the way down to the base of my shaft, sucking hard and long as he acted like he was trying to suck my soul out of me. When he pulled back, until just the tip of my hard member was still in his mouth, he swirled his tongue around and around. That teasing motion was enough to make me weak in the knees. I needed to lock them tight so that I didn't fall down. I needed to be strong and stay standing.
After that, Shawn set about creating a steady rhythm. Up and down, he slid his mouth over my shaft in a teasing and tantalizing way. He would suck hard when he got to the base and swirl his tongue at the tip every time.
I know that I was moaning, panting, and thrusting my hips as he worked hard on me. Every time that Shawn made a downward stroke on my shaft with his mouth, I would thrust inside of his hot, pleasurable mouth to quicken the stroke. I also had my hands on the back of his head to steady myself as I received the pleasure from him.
Moaning, panting, thrusting, it all blended into one giant blur of pleasure as I reached my climax. I was about to explode and he knew it. And still, Shawn didn't pull away, even though I let go of his head. He took it and kept going until he knew that my waves of pleasure had ended, that my climax was completely finished.
“Shawn!” I moaned his name as I felt him slide his mouth away from me.
“Oh Dietrich, you look like you're about to fall over. Was it that good?” He teased me as he pulled me down toward him. The next thing that I knew I was kneeling on the floor in front of him.
“You know it was.” I whispered to him. “It's always good with you, Liebling. And now I need to pleasure you. Fair is fair, after all. And I need to show you how much I appreciate you.”
“You do what you want, Dietrich. Not what you think you have to.” He spoke softly as he cupped my face in his hands.
“Oh, I want to do this, Schatz. I really do.” And with that, I pushed him back against the wall of the shower.
