Dragon's MatchMate Agency: A Paranormal Romance Boxset

by Maia Star

  “Come on then,” I dropped her hand and gestured for her to follow me. “I want you to get settled in so that you can start unpacking.”

  “Yes, Beta Kyle,” she said and followed me through the apartment and to the little bedroom tucked away next to the kitchen.

  “The bathroom is down that hallway,” I said as I opened up the door to her room.

  It really wasn’t anything to be proud of, but I hadn’t expected to have anyone staying in it. I had to scramble to just get a bed and mattress when I heard that I was going to have our new Omega staying with me. I had used this room for miscellaneous storage before.

  So it was very plain, and very white.

  She was hesitant as she stepped into the room, tucking her waterfall of hair behind her ears. Then, slowly, she seemed to open up a little more. She even smiled as she turned around to look back at me.

  “Thank you, Beta Kyle,” she said.

  I wanted to take her right then and there, press her against the wall and fuck her hard till she was screaming my name. But she hadn’t even been introduced to the rest of the clan yet, and hadn't had time to even settle in.

  No, I’d do that later. For now, I just nodded.

  “Of course. I trust you’ll tell me if you need anything else?”

  She nodded.

  I released my grip on her suitcase and turned to leave. Then, I thought of something. I turned around to say over my shoulder, “Oh, and don’t even think of trying to run. You’ll regret it.”

  I didn’t see her expression in response as I quickly shut the door behind me, but part of me was aroused at the thought that she might have been looking at me with fear in her eyes just then. What a lovely thought, indeed.

  I wanted to take that fear and turn it into her own arousal, make her cum all over my hands and fill her with my seed.

  Soon, I promised myself. Soon.

  I headed back to the living room and took a seat on the couch. I considered getting up to pull one of my books down from the shelf, but then my phone rang in my pocket and I pulled it out to answer it.

  “Kyle,” a warm and familiar voice said. “Any updates?”

  “Yes, Alpha James,” I said. “The Omega has been secured. She is currently settling into her room. She is even better than we were promised.”

  “Perfect.” James’s voice was almost a purr as he spoke. “I’ll expect her to be ready to be presented to the clan tonight. We’re having a party at the penthouse.”

  “Understood.”

  “Make sure she’s dressed…appropriately.”

  I understood the implication in his voice and behind his words with ease. I had been thinking the same thing myself.

  “Of course, Alpha James.”

  “Good, I’ll see you tonight then.”

  He hung up, and I set my phone down.

  I guessed it was time then, time to get Catarina ready for the party ahead of us. If she was good, then it shouldn’t be too much of an ordeal.

  What I was really dreading was her being disobedient. But so far, she had been good. I only had to hope that this continued.

  I headed through my apartment back to where her room was, not bothering to knock as I entered.

  She looked up from where she was bent over her suitcase, unpacking things.

  I wished then that I could take her, bend her over and fuck her from behind. She had the perfect ass for it too, and all I wanted was to give it the attention it deserved.

  “We’re going to a party tonight,” I said, then stepped into the room and closed the door behind me. “I need to make sure you’re dressed appropriately for it.”

  “How should I dress?” she asked, her brows coming together in confusion.

  “Well,” I smiled. “Let’s just say that this will be your first introduction to the clan. We want to make sure that they get the right impression of you.”

  She nodded. “You’re welcome to look through what I have. I can look as well if you want.”

  “I’ll look.” I waved her off and stalked over to her suitcase, where all of her clothes still were. I began digging through it, throwing the ones I didn’t like to the side. Which was, well, basically all of them.

  Her old clan hadn’t dressed her well at all. Yes, the clothes were definitely meant to outline her sex appeal, but they also did nothing at the same time. They were clearly cheap, slutty, and none of them spoke to a refined level of taste.

  Yes, I wanted her to look like a slut. Yes, I wanted everyone there to drool at the sight of her. But I didn’t want her looking like she had just walked out of a five-dollar fashion store in some run-down mall.

  That just wasn’t how our clan did things. And it definitely wasn’t the image that Alpha James wanted to see of our new Omega.

  “None of this will do,” I said, finally turning back to her. “Don’t you have anything else?”

  She shook her head, looking up at me with fearful eyes. “No, sir. This was all that my last clan gave me.”

  I sighed. I didn’t really want her to be that afraid of me. “It’s fine. Clearly, they’re all fools; none of this is the right quality to befit a woman of your beauty.”

  A blush evident on her cheeks, she looked down. “I’m sorry.”

  I reached out, grabbing her chin and forcing her to look up at me. “Don’t apologize. It’s not something you can control. For the moment, we’ll figure something out. But we’re fixing this later, mark my words.”

  She shivered a bit, and then I released my grip on her chin and let her look back down at the ground.

  “Let's get you something to wear for the moment then. I believe I have something that will work, and it should fit you too,” I said, grabbing her hand and leading her from her bedroom and down the hallway to where mine was.

  I was hoping that I would have more moments to take her back here. Chances to lay her down in my down-soft bed and fuck her until we were both panting from the effort of it.

  But for now, I just needed to give her one of the little outfits I had been saving for an occasion like this.

  “Stand there,” I said, pointing next to the door as we entered. She obeyed without question and I headed over to the dresser.

  I opened the drawer and began rummaging through it until I found what I was looking for.

  It was a little designer mini dress. Effortless, expensive, and incredibly sexy. It was the kind of thing that I had been searching for in her clothing but had not been able to find.

  I tossed it in her direction, and she caught it, looking at me in surprise.

  “Put that on,” I said.

  “Okay.” She turned to leave the room, but I stopped her with a short, barked command.

  “No, you’ll do it here.”

  She looked back at me in surprise. “You mean…”

  “Of course I mean that. Don’t you know how to follow directions?”

  Shuddering a bit, she turned around so that her back was facing me and began to undress herself.

  I was so mesmerized by her body that I couldn’t even be mad at her for turning around. She had this perfect little ass and the creamiest white skin I had ever seen. I wanted to touch that skin, to kiss down her back and then grab that little ass.

  Slowly, she completely undressed herself and then slipped into the tight little mini dress. It fit her perfectly.

  It was a spaghetti strap number with a scooped neckline, and her cleavage was on full display as she turned around to face me.

  “How is this?” she asked.

  I resisted the urge to lick my lips. She would only find that creepy.

  “Absolutely perfect. Fits you beautifully.”

  She looked down, a blush forming on her cheeks. “Thank you.”

  “Anytime. Now, let’s get you to that party. Can’t keep the Alpha waiting.”

  Chapter Three

  Catarina

  I wished that I could have refused when Kyle pulled out that tight little dress. But he was being so nice and I di
dn’t want that to change. I had a feeling it would have if I had said anything but yes.

  After I got changed, Kyle looked at me with a hungry expression on his face. I didn’t like it, but I knew that I had to just deal with it. He took my arm and began leading me out of the apartment and down to the car.

  “Now, Alpha James is a very particular man,” he said, acting as if I would be pleasing my new Alpha that night. Now that I thought about it, I probably would be. I didn’t like that thought one bit, but it was just part of my existence as an Omega. “He’ll want you to address him as just Alpha, and never look him directly in the eyes.”

  “Yes, Beta Kyle,” I said. “I’ll try my best.”

  “Good girl. You’re gonna do fine. I promise it’s not that scary,” he said, ushering me into the passenger seat of his car. I would beg to disagree, but it wasn’t my place to say that.

  “You sure?” I said instead.

  He nodded. “Extra sure. You’re gonna do lovely. I mean, just look at you! Who could resist those lovely eyes?”

  He was being so nice, and I didn’t know what I had done to deserve it. I was an Omega; why was he acting like this?

  Probably because he just wanted me to be compliant when he finally got me in bed. That was definitely it.

  “Okay, thank you,” I said carefully.

  The rest of the drive there (which was quite short, mind you) was completely silent. Kyle clearly didn’t feel the need to strike up any more conversation, and I was perfectly fine with that. The more he ignored me at this point, the better.

  It would mean he was less likely to pay me attention later when he wanted something from me. Less likely to go to me when he needed something.

  Finally, we arrived at a luxury apartment building.

  Kyle helped me out of the car, keeping a tight grip on my arm as if I might run away from him.

  “This is where Alpha James lives,” he said.

  I nodded, keeping pace with him as we entered the lobby. He nodded at the guards and led me right through to the bank of elevators. After inserting a key, he pressed the button that would take us up to the penthouse.

  He must have come there a lot if he had a key to the place and the guards knew him. I tried not to think about how often I might come there.

  The elevator made a small dinging noise and we reached the penthouse floor, and then the doors opened and Kyle and I stepped through.

  The elevator opened up right into the penthouse, where the party was already in full swing. People were dancing, music was blaring, and drinks were being poured.

  It was an upscale version of what I might have expected a college party to be like. There was something feral in the air, something untamed. It was the same thing that was always in the air whenever you gathered a bunch of dragon shifters together.

  But this also felt stronger than I was used to.

  Much, much stronger.

  It was like I might be swallowed down by it if I wasn’t careful and watching myself. Like it might pounce on me and eat me whole.

  Kyle kept his grip on my arm as all eyes turned to look at us.

  There was a moment of silence as the clan took me in. Some of their nostrils were visibly flaring as they took in the scent of their new Omega, their new little fucktoy.

  Then a man stepped through the crowd.

  The way he carried himself set him apart visibly from everyone else. He was clearly the most important one in the room, even without me knowing that he was Alpha. His head was held high and his black eyes pierced through me.

  “Alpha,” I said, bowing my head and being careful not to look him in the eyes just as Kyle has directed.

  “So this is our new little Omega,” came his deep voice. He was clearly talking to Kyle and ignoring me, but it didn’t bother me. I already knew that he probably saw me as just a waste of space, something pretty to occupy his bed at times.

  “Yes, Alpha James,” Kyle said. “Isn’t she beautiful?”

  “Oh, quite.” He ran a finger through my hair. “She’s very lovely. I look forward to breeding her. What about you? Has your dick gotten ahead of yourself again yet?”

  There was a collective laugh from some of the people nearby

  “I think you will be happy to hear, Alpha, that I have managed to keep it to myself this time,” Kyle said. I could tell from his voice that he was grinning. He clearly found this all very amusing.

  “Good. I don’t need to be the first one with this doll, but I’m glad you at least introduced her before having your way.”

  “Anytime, Alpha James.”

  James walked away from us then, and I lifted my head to look at Kyle.

  “You’re welcome to wander about,” he said. “Just stay out of trouble.”

  “I’ll do my best,” I said as I watched him walk off. I really just wanted to stay with him. I didn’t want to be on my own. I had no idea what I was doing and I knew no one here but him.

  And he had been so nice to me so far. What if other people weren’t? It was a terrible thought, even if I had been through it before.

  And what trouble could I get into? Were there rules that he hadn’t told me about that I was supposed to know? What was I supposed to do?

  I took a deep breath, doing my best to calm myself, and decided I should probably try to take a look around.

  The penthouse was a luxurious and modern one. The room we were in was very open and attached to a bar and kitchenette (I had no doubt there was a full-sized kitchen somewhere). There were floor-to-ceiling windows, and all the decor was in a white or light gray color scheme.

  It was the very picture of polished wealth.

  The Alpha himself was the same.

  I was able to sneak a couple of glances at him when he wasn’t looking. He was dressed in a fine burgundy velvet suit with a black tie, and his hair was slicked back. He had a hardened but handsome face, with dark hair and dark eyes.

  A few times, I caught those eyes staring at me.

  Then, apparently, he had had enough of waiting, for he came over.

  Immediately, I averted my gaze to the floor, folding my hands in front of me to seem as small and unassuming as possible.

  He laughed. “You can look up if you want, little slut.”

  I looked up in surprise and caught the look in his eyes. It was so very predatory. He clearly wanted me, but I did not want him in the same way. Far from it. I wanted nothing to do with him.

  His eyes said that he wanted to take me right then and there, without caring who was looking.

  “Like what you see?” he asked.

  “Very much, Alpha,” I said, trying to keep my voice from shaking. It was a lie. A complete lie. I was scared of what I saw, and it was clear from his expression that he knew it too.

  He laughed again. “Oh, you don’t have to lie. You’re a stupid little slut, aren’t you? Trying to get on my good side?”

  He grabbed my face between his thumb and his forefinger, forcing me to look up at him and squeezing hard. “Well, don’t think it’s going to get you anywhere. I know your kind, and I know your tricks. You’re still a worthless little Omega, just to be used for breeding. I’m going to breed you so much, and you’re going to make a fine little heir for me, you understand?”

  I nodded, afraid of what he would do if I tried to speak.

  He released me. “Good. Now don’t get yourself into any trouble.”

  And then he was gone.

  He and Kyle had said the same things, but so differently. Kyle’s had been so much kinder, and his words had been a clear threat.

  The Alpha approaching me must have been a signal that the other members of the clan were waiting for, for immediately, more began to approach me.

  One male came over, sizing me up and setting his drink down to lean over and whisper in my ear.

  “Boy, am I glad I don’t have a mate yet. For that means I get to use you like the little tool you are.”

  I shivered, but I didn’t push him away for f
ear of what he might do. For fear that that would get me in trouble and then I would have to deal with James again.

  “You gonna say anything to that?” he asked.

  I remained silent. Maybe if I pretended that he wasn’t there, then he would go away.

  My prayers were answered as he apparently lost interest, picked up his drink, and headed off back into the crowd.

  Many of the females were giving me dirty looks now as more males’ eyes raked me over. I wished that I could stop it. I wished that I could tell them that this was the last thing that I wanted.

  I wished that I could have a drink. But I didn’t know if that was allowed, and I didn’t want to get drunk and have someone take advantage of me.

  So instead, I found a little corner off to the side to stand in and prayed that no one would bother me.

  It worked. Almost.

  I was still getting stared at. And every so often, Alpha James would pass by and give me a terrifying smirk.

  But so far, no one else was really talking to me, so that was good at least.

  And then I saw him again.

  There was Kyle, with his flaming red hair and piercing blue eyes, staring right at me from where he was sitting at the bar with a drink in hand.

  He had hunger in his gaze. I recognized that hunger. It was the same hunger that I often saw before a man had his way with me. But this time, it wasn’t so scary to me. It was only him, after all, and I was finding that I didn’t mind him so much.

  Without thinking about it, I began to walk towards him. This was the first time I had made the first move, in any capacity, and I liked the idea that I could be in control for once.

  Slowly, Kyle stood. He set down his drink and then began to walk towards me.

  When we met in the middle, he grabbed my arm and leaned in to whisper in my ear.

  “All right, I’ve had enough, my pretty little Omega. I’m taking you now.”

  I shivered from head to toe. It was strange, but it was exactly what I wanted at this moment. I wanted him to take me, to use me, to breed me.

  He half-dragged me through the room to a hallway, then down it to a door that he kicked open.

  He thrust me inside and then shut and locked the door behind him.
