“You taste so fucking sweet, baby. Even better than I remembered.” He moaned against her core and the vibration added to the sensations running through her. Tre slid a finger in before adding a second, pumping in and out while his tongue swirled around her swollen clit.
“I’m going to take you in every conceivable way tonight, sugar,” he murmured against her opening, his fingers still pumping in and out in a steady rhythm set to drive her mad with need. “And I’m going to make sure each climax is better than your last.” He gave her another long lick up her center. “You’re mine, Alex. And after tonight you’ll never have any doubt that you belong with me.”
With that steamy declaration, Tre curved his figures inside her and hit that spot that had her eyes rolling into the back of her head in pleasure. She could hear her fast breaths in the quiet of the room and knew she was close. Tre let out a soft moan against her flesh before he latched on to suck the swollen nub of her clit into his mouth, flicking his tongue in a staccato movement. Alex couldn’t stop the scream that escaped her throat as endless waves of ecstasy washed over her. She had to force herself not to suffocate him by clamping her thighs against his head in an effort to hold him to her. No, that would definitely not be good.
Her legs went limp as she felt Tre crawl slowly up her body, kissing his way back to her mouth. She opened to him without thought, tasting herself on his tongue. His heavy shaft lay poised at her opening as she pulled her knees back toward her chest in invitation. She needed to feel him inside her. Tre obviously didn’t need to be told twice as he surged forward with a single thrust and sheathed himself to the hilt. Alex gasped at the invasion, her sensitive nerve endings coming alive once again.
He began a slow slide in and out and she could feel every delectable inch of him. “Ah, you feel so good, sugar. So tight, like a damn fist around my cock.”
She felt him weave his fingers through her hair at the base of her skull before he pulled her head back and to the side to expose her neck. She froze. Is this it? Is he going to mark me now, while he’s inside me? Her inner walls clenched in anticipation.
As if reading her thoughts, Tre brought his lips to the sensitive spot behind her ear and sucked. “Not yet, baby. You’re not burning nearly hot enough yet to take my mark, but don’t worry—you soon will be.”
He lapped at the spot behind her ear with the heat of his tongue, sending fiery electrical shards straight to her pussy. He continued his deep, steady thrusts, driving her slowly insane with need. Not hot enough yet? Is he kidding? Just as she was about to set him straight, he lifted himself to support his torso on both hands and his gaze locked with hers. His knees bent below her ass to provide better traction. Then his hips churned, thrust and powered into her with a force that sent her spiraling into oblivion.
“Come now, Alex! Milk me, baby. Take me with you.”
If the house had had glass in the windowpanes instead of plywood covering the openings, Alex was certain her screams would have shattered it. Tre’s roar of release joined hers before he slowly slid out of her and pulled her to his side. She lay with her head on his shoulder, her arm draped across his defined belly. She was boneless, liquid, replete.
Tre rolled onto his side to face her before his hand started to draw lazy circles around her hip, the movements growing wider with every pass until he was massaging her left butt cheek with his palm. “Hmmm, you have the sexiest ass, Alex. Just the right size for my hands.” He gave one cheek a squeeze before letting his hand glide down the back of her thigh. His touch sent a maelstrom of sensations shooting through her and she was shocked to feel her body responding so quickly after such an explosive orgasm. Alex was even more stunned to feel the steely length of Tre’s erection against her belly. Surely he wasn’t ready to go again so soon? That silent question was answered immediately as Tre slid his hand up the backs of her thighs. He parted her legs from the front with one of his own and trailed his fingers through her still-sensitive folds, drawing the juices of their combined release back and through the cleft of her ass. He ground his erection into her belly and moaned before he returned his hand to her center, gathering and spreading more of the creamy wetness.
She inhaled sharply as his finger rimmed the tight, untouched opening of her anus before he pressed in slightly. A sharp pang of pleasure shot through her veins and her eyes widened in surprise. His amber eyes darkened with desire. She definitely wasn’t a virgin but this was something completely foreign to her. Never had she had the trust necessary to allow such a personal invasion of her body. Tre eased her juices back, pressing, seeking, and she couldn’t stop her need to push back against his finger.
“Every conceivable way. Remember, baby?” he soothed as he continued to prepare her.
Alex licked her lips—suddenly every nerve in her body was alight with anticipation. He slid a finger in. She froze…tensed.
“Relax, baby. Breathe out,” he instructed as he pressed his finger in farther.
She couldn’t describe the sensation, only knew her body wanted to press back—that it wanted more. He added another finger, working them in and out, stretching her. A scorching heat bloomed in her ass and radiated through every nerve ending of her body. She burned with the pleasure-pain sensation and wanted more.
“Oh god. Tre!” She didn’t know what to do but knew she needed to do something. Something to either stop the intense sensations firing through her body or something to drive her over the edge.
“Shhh, baby. Relax and roll onto your belly for me.” Tre removed his fingers and she winced at the withdrawal. He helped her roll onto her stomach before lifting her hips so she was on her knees with her chest against the mattress.
Tre stroked her back with his strong, calloused hands as he pressed the underside of his cock between the now-damp cheeks of her ass. His groan of pleasure filled the room as he slid between the globes and Alex couldn’t help but wiggle and press back against him.
He leaned over her back and surrounded her with his heat. He fed his cock through the wet folds of her pussy and stroked in and out as one hand reached around to rub her clit. Alex felt the rush of her fluids bathing his shaft and she was having a hard time catching her breath.
“Those first two orgasms were just the warm-up, sugar.” His low, whispered voice melted over her like butter. “Now it’s time to see how hot we can really burn.”
Tre placed both hands on her ass as he pulled out of her. He spread her wide, then Alex felt the blunt head of his erection at the snug entrance of her behind. He pushed slightly and she tightened reflexively, her body fighting the foreign intrusion.
“Just like with my fingers, baby,” he gritted out is a raspy voice. “Breathe out and relax for me. I don’t want to hurt you but if I don’t get inside that tight little ass soon I’m going to fucking explode.”
Alex tried to do as he’d instructed and the pressure lessened somewhat. Then Tre pushed forward just a fraction and got past the tight ring of muscle. Her ass was on fire but the biting pain also brought with it piercing shards of pleasure. She could hear his heavy breaths, felt his firm grip on her hips and knew he was fighting for control so as not to hurt her. God, she loved this man beyond reason.
“Tre. Move, please. I need more,” Alex pleaded, and that seemed to snap his control.
He tightened his hold on her hips and thrust forward with a savage growl until she felt the heavy weight of his balls slap her pussy. Alex threw her head back and screamed at the sensation of utter fullness. The sharp bite of pain mixed with explicit pleasure sent her senses reeling. She throbbed and burned. And she needed more. Alex pushed back against him and Tre finally let go.
Pummeling, grinding strokes had Alex seeing stars. The bed shook with the force of Tre’s thrusts. With each penetrating stroke she could feel him in every conceivable nerve ending. Without warning, Tre reached under her arms and pulled her up flush, her back to his front. The position allowed him an even deeper penetration and she moaned at the sensation.
That added twinge of pain sent Alex over the edge and she screamed her release. Her inner walls constricted around his fingers and cock like a vise. Her entire body shook uncontrollably with the force of her orgasm. Tre continued to pump into her, only releasing her neck when he threw his head back and roared as his release followed on the heels of hers.
They remained in the same position, still connected, as Tre gently licked and kissed his mark on her shoulder. He wrapped his strong arms around her waist and held her tight. “You’re mine, Alexandria. I love you.”
Alex felt the immediate well of tears filling her eyes. Tre had taken total possession of her body but, more than that, he now possessed her soul. She lay her head back on his shoulder and looked up to meet his warm gaze and knew she was finally home. “I’m yours, Tre. Always.”
Tre grinned and his cock jumped inside her, making her eyes go wide. He lowered his head to lick over his mark before meeting her gaze. “Now how about we make this one of a matching set, sugar?”
Alex returned his smile and felt her canines lengthen, more than ready to mark Tre as hers.
The shrill ringing of Tre’s cell phone broke the tender moment. “Fuck. That’s Dev’s ring, baby. He knows never to disturb me when I’m out here so it must be trouble. I’ve got to take this.”
His hands grasped her waist as he gently lifted her off his still semi-erect shaft. She couldn’t help but groan at the slow removal of him from her body. She sat on the bed and watched as Tre crossed the room and dug his phone out of his jeans pocket.
“What the fuck, Dev?” he said by way of greeting.
Alex watched as Tre’s features hardened as he listened to Dev. After a couple of minutes he finally spoke. “We’ll be back within fifteen minutes. I’ll want Sean to stay at Royal with Alex and the other women.” He closed the phone and began to gather her clothes.
“Get dressed, sugar. The team observed heavy movement at the levee location during their scouting expedition. Tomorrow’s op just got moved up to tonight, so we need to get a move on.”
Alex dressed hurriedly but her disappointment in not being able to finish the mating process with Tre weighed heavily on her mind. There was no help for it, she knew. What the Coteri warriors needed to do tonight was more important, especially if it meant saving innocent lives. She got that, she really did. But nothing would feel settled until she could see her matching mark on Tre.
She finished putting her shoes on and turned to Tre, determined to mask her regret over the interruption. “All set.”
He took steady strides to stand in front of her before he cupped her face in his hands. He brushed his lips across hers in a gentle kiss. “You’re mine now, Alex. For any and all to see. And when I get back to Royal tonight, I can guaran-damn-tee you’ll be giving me a matching mark of my own. Understood?”
Alex wrapped her arms tightly around Tre’s waist, her cheek against his chest. She pulled back and reached around his neck to bring his head down to hers. She kissed him with all the burning intensity she was feeling, needing to show him just how much his words reassured her. Yes, she was his, but more importantly Tre was hers and nothing was going to stand in the way of her making good on his promise tonight. His chest rumbled with a low growl as he returned the kiss but she pulled away before they lost control.
Alex leaned in and pressed her lips to Tre’s neck, letting her canines glide across the skin before pulling back. “Just try to stop me, big guy.”
Tre smiled and grabbed her hand. He led her out of his private plantation and into the heavy night air before he turned to look at her and lifted her chin with two fingers. “I can’t wait, baby.”
They shifted and glided into the starless night, heading back to the Royal house and the responsibilities that awaited them there.
Chapter Twenty
Everyone was gathered in Dev’s third-floor office when they returned to Royal, including Nic and Thea, who were seated together on the sofa. Tre kept Alex close to his side, especially with Michael within close proximity. He still didn’t completely trust the other warrior’s volatile emotions when it came to Alex. Upon their arrival, Seth had reported that the two other human women they’d rescued had been returned home earlier in the evening after receiving a clean bill of health from Sean along with his assurances that their memories of their attacks had been permanently removed. That definitely eased Tre’s mind.
As he moved farther into the room with Alex, Marcus stepped forward. “Tre, I went to Alex’s place like you ordered.” He looked toward Alex with a tinge of regret and Tre knew he wasn’t going to like what the man told him next. “I brought back her clothes as you requested but her office had been wiped clean. There wasn’t a single piece of paper remaining and her computer was gone as well. I’d say it’s pretty obvious her brother knows we have her.”
Tre cursed and began to pace before he stopped in front of his general. “This is my fault, Dev. If I’d had my head on straight the night we first picked Alex up, I would have thought to have her office cleared instead of waiting. Shit.” He drove his fingers through his hair in frustration.
“There’s nothin’ we can do about that now, Tre. We’ve got bigger issues to deal with tonight,” Dev answered, then motioned to Jude.
Jude stood from his seat beside Dev’s desk and crossed his arms over his chest, his expression serious. “When we reached the levee location earlier tonight, there was heavy movement. Several Valta were spotted removing boxes and cartons into moving trucks parked close to the entrance. We saw no signs of humans, but it was obvious they were clearing things out in a hurry.”
Michael stepped forward and continued the report. It surprised Tre that he had been part of the scouting team, considering he hadn’t left Nic’s side since she’d been recovered. “We moved quickly to the Scarlett Plantation site. Unfortunately a large reception was taking place and we couldn’t risk notice by the human partygoers, who were in attendance throughout the grounds, by advancing through the property to Big Mar Lake and the third compound. We don’t exactly blend in with human wedding guests.” He threw a familiar smirk before continuing. “Figured our best bet was to come back here and regroup before hitting the third location later tonight, after the human festivities are over.”
Tre nodded in agreement. It was what he would have done as well. He looked behind him, expecting to see Alex, only to find that she’d slipped quietly away from him to stand at the far corner of the room next to Sean. Standing too damn close to Sean for Tre’s liking.
“Alex,” he snapped, not intending his tone to sound as sharp as it did as he held out his hand to her.
She looked up at Sean—what the fuck?—before moving to stand by his side. Tre pulled her in close and leaned in so his lips brushed her ear. “Mine, damn it,” he whispered.
Tre felt her stiffen against his hold and saw her spine go rigid. He’d obviously pissed her off with his caveman routine but she stayed by his side and that was all that mattered to him at the moment. He knew he needed to get a handle on his emotions where Alex was concerned but feeling jealous and possessive over a female was something he’d never experienced before. His animal side definitely wasn’t any help—he still wanted to take a piece out of Sean’s hide for no other reason than that the man had acted as a source of comfort to Tre’s mate. Fuck. How the hell do Talon and Mathias deal with this shit?
Trilling laughter filled the room as Nic bounded off the co
uch and ran into Tre’s arms. Taken off guard, he quickly released Alex to brace himself for Nic’s attack. She hugged him close before stepping back and slugging him hard in the shoulder.
“About damn time, hot stuff!” she said with a gleaming twinkle in her eyes.
“Ow, Nic. What the hell?” Tre rubbed his aching shoulder as he watched Michael move closer to them.
Nic didn’t even answer him and instead turned to Alex, who towered over the tiny pixie as she held out her hand in greeting. “I’m Nicolette, but you can call me Nic, and let me just say I couldn’t be happier for you and hot pants here. He’s been mooning over you for months! About ate me out of cupcakes and chocolate milk as he groaned on and on and on about the one he let get away. Well, I’m glad to see you were smart enough to come back. He may be a complete sugar-junkie but he’s an all-around good guy and you’re lucky to have him.”
“Nic,” Tre growled low between clenched teeth, his utter humiliation at his friend’s frenetic ramblings making him wish he’d had Sean scrub her memories as well. He heard snickers throughout the room and knew he was in for an interminable hazing after this. Fuck.
Alex laughed and took Nic’s hand. “I’m so glad to finally meet you, Nic, and I’m so happy that you’re safe and back home.”
Michael took that moment to move in close to Nic, sliding his hand around her waist and pulling her tight. Tre watched as Nic snuggled close to the warrior, completely comfortable in his embrace. He also noticed that Michael’s gaze didn’t harbor outright hostility toward Alex, although his normal friendly vibe was definitely still missing where Alex was concerned.
