Dedication

To my mother and sisters, who have been with me every step of the way. I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for their constant love and support.

––––––––

To my children, thank you for thinking this writing stuff is pretty cool and coming home every day to ask how it’s going. You push me to be the best I can be and I love you for that.

––––––––

To my husband, my muse, thank you for the constant inspiration and willingness to help me research whenever the need arises. I’ll always be grateful for the nights you stepped into full parent mode and allowed me to fall into my stories.

Author’s Note:

In this series you will come to know many mythical creatures from Ireland. I did not make up any of them, however I took liberties connecting their stories and embellishing their abilities.

You will also see I chose to spell fae and faery differently than you would expect. The more common spelling ‘fairy’ is used in the traditional princess stories. I wanted to use the archaic, traditional spelling of the old country. I hope you will indulge me.

Awakening Her

Desires

Chapter 1

In just a few short weeks I will have my coming of age ceremony. To humans, that means I am turning roughly 20 years old. At the ceremony I am expected to choose my mate and continue the fae line. Our clan lives a peaceful life in the hills of Northern Ireland. We mostly keep to ourselves but occasionally go into the human towns to have a wee bit of fun or help someone we think deserving. We’ve even had a few clansmen fall in love and join the human world. This is frowned upon but being the good people, we are, we forgive them easily.

My friends are constantly pestering me about who I will choose as my mate but I simply shrug them off. They have bets going on who it will be. In our clan, the females do the asking and never has a male refused. Up until our ceremony, we are encouraged to date many of the men in our clan to ensure we are choosing wisely. Frustratingly, we are not allowed to be intimate with them. This is a sacred rule that everyone follows. Here’s the problem with that, I don’t want to follow it. I want to steal kisses behind trees, feel a man inside me under the full moon. Hell, I would settle for some light groping just once. If I don’t mate soon, I’m going to explode.

It’s all well and good to date, however I’m pretty sure it would be frowned upon if my family and friends knew how often I have to masturbate just to control my needs. We’re fae – we’re freaking hot and my family keeps pushing guy after guy on me and then telling me to keep my hands off. You can’t imagine the frustration that creates. Don’t get me wrong, not everyone in our clan is perfect. I have been on a few dates where nothing stirs inside me. Those are the easy dates, when I don’t have to worry about waking up from a forbidden dream and have to change my pajama bottoms. Masturbation is not my only dirty little secret, there is one even more shocking. At my ceremony, I am not planning to choose a mate at all. Instead, I’m going to pray a member of the Laochra Gra will come and take me away. Honestly, I didn’t even know they existed till I stumbled upon them a few weeks ago when my friends and I went into the human town. No member of my clan has ever joined the Laochra Gra, but I intend to be the first.

**********4 weeks earlier***********

My friends and I like going into town to visit the chocolate shop. Everything they sell is amazing and the shop owner’s son is mouthwatering as well. There is a display window at the front where you can stand and watch them making any number of special treats, but I prefer watching from inside where I can inhale the cocoa scent while I watch the boy work. I’d love to take him in the back and dip him in chocolate. Actually, that’s a marvelous idea. Maybe I should suggest that as a new service they could offer.

One day we go in and the boy is nowhere to be found, and my friends are disappointed. They buy their chocolates and start heading back. Curiosity gets the best of me and I tell them to go on without me and that I would catch up soon. I wait around a little longer, and then decide to search for him. I go outside and walk around the building, hoping I would find him. I stop suddenly, trying to make sense of what I am hearing, there is a moaning noise coming from behind the storage shed. I slide between the wall of the building and the shed and peak around. I am shocked to find the boy with two women I have never seen before. They are both gorgeous and I can tell they are fae, but definitely not from around here. I hear the blonde fae call him Sean as she tells him to lie down on the ground. They are kneeling on either side of him, running their hands all over his body. He is just as mouthwatering as I imagined he would be from the huge bags of sugar he’s always hauling around.

The blonde undoes his pants and bends over to suck on him. His head comes off the ground as he lets out a moan of pleasure while the red-haired woman pulls her shirt up and is not wearing a bra. I swallow hard as she leans her breasts over his face and I am mesmerized as he gropes and sucks on her. I have never actually seen people in the act before. I feel a throbbing start in my sacred area. The more they pant and moan, the wetter I become. Sean prays to god a few times and I swear the red head is going to draw blood if she bites any harder on her bottom lip. After a few minutes, the blonde straddles him and takes him deep inside, while the red head sits on his face. Listening to their exclamations of lust, I can’t help but lean against the wall and touch myself. My breasts feel heavy and my nub is swollen. I moan as I massage myself, and just when I can’t hold it any longer, I see the girls’ orgasm. Sean joins in seconds later and I let myself go with him. I am still panting when they climb off him and help him stand up. I fix my clothes quickly and wipe my soaked hand in the folds of my skirt.

Thanks for the ride, Sean, you can head back into your shop now and forget you ever met us.

Amazingly, he nods and leaves without a glance back. How could he walk away without even trying to see them again or questioning what just happened? I gaze back at the two women and watch as the blonde gives the other girl a hug.

You did wonderful, Shannon. Queen Cliodhana will be very pleased with your progress.

Thank you, Mistress; may we take him back to Tir Tairngire with us? I enjoyed him very much and would like to continue practicing on him.

He will join us there soon but it’s not his time yet. Let’s see what other delectable choices this town has to offer. Maybe we can find a few more men for our use?

They turn and walk in the opposite direction Sean had gone and I hurry to follow. Who are these women and what are they doing in this small town in the middle of nowhere? More importantly, how did they get to mate with Sean the first day they were here? That is a skill I wish I had.

They enter a pub and I wait a minute before going in after them. I have never been inside before; it is not a place I think I’d like to visit often. It smells like stale beer and tobacco. The only other women in the place are workers and I feel a little uneasy sitting alone. I take the table closest to the door so I can escape easily. I take my time looking around and find most of the men are not very attractive. The two girls sit at a table in the corner. I order a soda and watch them. Men continually approach them, the girls say a few words and the men nod and walk away. I’m not sure what they are looking for, but they haven’t found it yet. After thirty minutes, I notice a very handsome man sitting at the bar get up and approach them. He has thick black hair and black eyes that could pierce your soul. He is larger than most of the men here and you can tell it is all muscle. The fae women’s faces change as soon as they make eye contact with him. They look excited and stand up to greet him. He exchanges a few words with them, nods and follows them out.

I throw cash down on the table and run out in time to see them lead him behind the building. I’m not sure I’m ready to watch them again, but I can’t resist. If I’m not allowed to mate, I’m sure as hell going to live vicariously through them. As I turn the corner, I see them walk into the forest. Rushing ahead, I break the tree line and stop. They are gone, I don’t see them anywhere.

Two

Over the next couple of weeks, I become obsessed with these faeries. I go back to the village every day and watch for them. The first man they took was gone for three days. They took other men as well, some for a day, some for longer. The women never stay long enough for people to remember they are there. They walk around, find a guy to their liking and take him into the woods. The townsfolk have started getting upset over the disappearances but the men always come back, claiming no knowledge of where they had gone.

One week before my ceremony, I head into town to watch for the faery women again. Heading toward the bakery, I see Sean walking into the woods behind the store. A few feet into the tree line I see him leaning against a tree. After a minute of hiding, I notice no one else is around and he is just standing there staring into space. Gathering my courage, I step out of my hiding spot and walk toward him. He continues to stare straight ahead, ignoring me completely. Inches from him, I can see his perfection even more clearly. Reaching my hand toward his chest, I freeze when someone speaks from behind me. I had followed the women long enough to know it was them. I never saw them harm anyone but that doesn’t put me at ease, they’ve apparently set me up.

He is a scrumptious morsel for a human, isn’t he?

I spin around to find the two fae woman standing a few feet away.

The fae woman, Shannon, turns to her mistress and claps her hands.

I told you we would catch her by taking this one.

The red head saunters toward me and strokes the back of her hand down my cheek.

You have been following us for quite some time. You’ve done quite well at being discreet, we were wondering if you would show yourself sooner. Shannon had noticed you were sweet on this boy so we thought we would bait you to come out.

What do you want with me?

We’re curious about you. I can sense the desire in you, it is stronger than it is with most fae.

She walks past me and leans against Sean, kissing his cheek.

Do you want to taste him?

I drop my eyes to the ground; I don’t appreciate her touching him.

I can tell you want him, I can smell your need. Come give him a kiss.

Standing toe to toe, I’m hesitant to actually look at him now that I’m this close.

What did you do to him? Why doesn’t he look at me?

We put him under hypnosis. I assure you, his subconscious won’t let him do anything he doesn’t want to. When we let him go, he won’t remember any of this. Now is your chance to do what you want with him.

I reach out to touch him, my hand actually shaking. I let a giggle escape when my fingers glide through his wavy blonde hair. The only way this would be better is if those gorgeous pale blue eyes were looking back at me. I kiss his jaw line and jerk back to see his reaction, my lips tingling from his stubble. He hasn’t moved, I can’t tell if he felt anything. Boldly, before I can change my mind, I grab him behind the neck and kiss him. Finally he reacts, his eyes close and he kisses me back. His tongue slides into my mouth and I can’t help the giggle that escapes. I have never felt anything like this, it is amazing.

After a couple of minutes, I hear the other fae laughing and talking about me so I break contact. I’m excited to see Sean is panting and appears to be enjoying this as much as I am.

So, little one, did you enjoy that?

He tastes as good as one of the treats he sells in his shop. Do you think he would mind if I did it again?

I’m guessing by the blush on your cheeks you haven’t come of age yet?

My ceremony is next week.

It would seem we’ve met you just in time. What if I told you your future isn’t set in stone? You have choices available to you, choices that would allow you to explore those feelings you keep hidden away like they are something to be ashamed of. Would you want to know more?

You mean there are others like me?

What is your name young one?

I am Keara.

Well, Keara, I am Sabine and you will be relieved to know there are many just like you. Our clan is called the Laochra Gra and we swear allegiance to Queen Cliodhana. If you join us, you will be trained in the art of seduction. Men will bow to your every want and desire. There is an evil force we fight; her name is the Lianhan Shee and she seduces human men into serving her until their death. Your job will be to teach the men how to be exceptional husbands and connect them to their soul mates before she gets to them. This life comes with a price though; these men are not yours to keep. I won’t lie to you; it can be lonely at times.

I watch as she walks over to Sean and whispers in his ear. He nods and walks out of the woods toward his shop.

You have one week to decide your fate. If you decide to join us, pray to the Queen. If she feels you are worthy, she will come for you.

She leans in and kisses me on the forehead, then turns and grasps the other fae woman’s hand and walks deeper into the forest. I can’t move for a few minutes. How had I never heard of this clan? We have other choices and no one told us? I already know I won’t be content mated to just one man. Are they giving me a chance at real happiness?

As I walk back into the village, I visit the chocolate shop. I am torn between trepidation and excitement at seeing Sean. He is looking down when I approach the counter and when his eyes meet mine, I feel the familiar tug in my chest at seeing him. His lips are taunting me to suck on them again. Sadly, I don’t see any recognition in his eyes. I order a few sweets and pay him. I shouldn’t be upset that he doesn’t know who I am. With one last smile in hopes he gives me some sign that he knows me, I turn and leave.

The walk home is consumed by the new choice I am given. I don’t even realize I am home until I hear my mother call out. Distracted by my thoughts, I lay down in my room. Can I turn my back on what’s expected of me? Leave my clan for the first time in my life?

I spend most of dinner watching my parents. They seem content in the simple life they have built. Do I really want this? To be with one man for the rest of my life? Is it my lot in life to make babies and die of old age? My parents have always been there for me. I need to know more about this other clan so I can make the right decision.

Máthair, Dadaí, have you heard of the Laochra Gra?

I can tell I’ve surprised them; forks are paused mid-way to their mouths. After staring at each other for a minute, they finally turn back to me. They both start firing questions at me at the same time.

Where did you hear that name?

Is this about your ceremony next week?

Have you spoken with them?

Go to your room!

The last one was from Dadaí. I guess we’re not going to be adult about this. I skulk off to my room and flop on the bed. My parents continue talking for another twenty minutes until I hear the front door slam shut. Máthair comes in and sits on the bed beside me.

I shouldn’t be surprised the Laochra Gra found you. From a very young age, I could tell this life was not going to satisfy you. I love your spirit, your passion for everything in life. I would hate to see you leave us, but I understand if you want to join them.

I hate to see the tears running down my mother’s face. If I leave, I will cause my family so much heartache. If I stay, I will cause my own heartache and that of my husband’s.

I can see the uncertainty in your eyes. You only have a few days left to decide. Sleep on it and see how you feel in the morning.

She kisses me on the head and leaves me to my thoughts. I’m shocked by her candor and complete acceptance that I may choose a different life. If she can see how different I am, will my husband be able to as well? If I stay, am I going to ruin both our lives by forcing him to marry me when I know I’ll never give him all of me? Sleep is going to elude me this night.

Three

The next morning, I leave with my mother to meet with the other mothers and daughters who will be participating in the ceremony. It is held twice a year, once in the spring and then again in the fall. We are assigned a ceremony depending on the month our birthday falls. I’m glad two of my friends will be going through this with me.

Aislin and Teagan have been my best friends since birth. I have no doubt they are excited about the ceremony and their choices. We’re not really supposed to tell each other who we are choosing, but it’s an unspoken rule that we all tell each other ahead of time. How embarrassing would it be if your only pick was taken before it was your turn!

As we enter the hall, I hear squeals and get smothered by my friends.
