Married to the Dragon

by Selina Coffey

  Mari’s body relaxed as she rested flatly on the pillows, her thigh brushing against Gage’s before she propped her calf on his thighs where he sat crossed-leg, inviting him silently to touch her. His large hand rested against her thigh there, lightly brushing against the denim of her jeans. Felix sat on the other side of her, watching the pair languidly from his position. Propping himself up with his hands, his feet reaching for the fire, Felix looked happy where he was for the moment.

  “So, that’s the story of that, little sister. The police will be contacting our local officers; we’ve rented a truck and a trailer for the motorcycles we’re picking up tomorrow to take us home, and then we can spend the rest of this vacation wherever we want to. Where would you like to go?” Felix moved as he spoke, moving so her head was in his lap.

  “I don’t know.” Mari sighed as she looked up into Felix’s enticing eyes. “Right here’s not bad.” She wanted to kiss him but didn’t want to move. It was so peaceful where she was.

  Felix obliged her and moved once more, bringing his lips to hers in a tantalizing way that had her pushing up to shorten the distance. Felix growled that low rumbling sound that thrilled her so much and buried his hands in her hair, holding her to his mouth as his tongue entered her mouth, exploring the dark wine-flavored regions.

  Mari heard Gage moan as Felix kissed her deeply, obviously enjoying watching them. Mari liked the idea that Gage might like to watch, so she provoked him, moving her hand underneath Felix’s black t-shirt to touch his warm flesh. Mari felt Gage shiver under her leg and knew she was right. Gage liked to watch.

  Mari pulled herself up then, straddling Felix as he sat up completely, pulling her to him while pulling her own shirt off of her at the same time. A quick glance back revealed an enthralled Gage so Mari kept up her game. She ground down on Felix, hearing him moan in response as Gage did. Felix cupped her breasts through her shirt, pulling the lace down to reveal her dark rose-tipped breasts to him. He took the globes in his hands sucking at one, then the other until her head fell back in surrender.

  Mari’s breath sucked in as she opened her eyes and saw that Gage had moved closer, on his hands and knees as he watched them, his lips almost touching her brow. Mari held her hand out, wanting him to join them, to feel him and touch him. His lips took over hers as Felix sucked at her nipples, his hand sliding down to cup her mound in his palm.

  Her moist heat tempted him and his two middle fingers slid into her depths, stroking her until she cried out. Felix stirred her passion with his fingers, his palm pushing into her clit, as his mouth explored her breasts. She leaned back into Gage, his arms supporting her now, as Felix thrust his fingers into her, mimicking the sex act she wanted him to do.

  Mari’s lips broke away from Gage as she cried out her pleasure, the feeling too strong to bottle up. Felix moved, placing Mari in a position to enter her before he removed his clothes. Mari’s thighs came up as Felix came back to her, pulling him into her body as Gage moved over her, his lips brushing her breasts before moving down, his tongue finding her clit just as Felix moved into her.

  Gage’s probing hands pulled at Mari’s flesh, pulling her clit up to his tongue. His flicking flesh almost skidded away as her lips wrapped around his own hard flesh, the sensitive head of his cock plunging deep into her throat as she sucked at him. Mari stilled, letting Gage fuck into her throat as Felix pushed into her below, his body fitting perfectly between her thighs.

  The only person able to make a sound was Felix and his cries of pleasure and delight urged the other two on as he watched them. Felix moved into Mari, watching as Gage’s hips plunged down and down, always into Mari’s mouth, filling her at both ends. Felix tried to hold back his pleasure as he watched them but the pleasure was driving up his balls, into his cock and he simply couldn’t stop it.

  Mari felt the first pulse of Felix’s hot cream and her body arched into him, wanting every drop he had to give her. She pushed back into him, wanting to prolong his pleasure but he moved away, pulling Gage with him to take his place. Gage groaned as he once more slipped inside of Mari. His home, his favorite place in the world.

  Felix sat back and watched as the pair consumed each other, Gage embracing her, pulling her to him as Mari did the same. They created a tangled web of limbs that Felix could barely decipher as they moved together, their bodies joined not just in pleasure but somehow in a spiritual way. Felix had felt the pleasure of being inside Mari, had felt things he’d never felt before, but he knew this was not his final resting place. The thought made him sad but he’d be honest with the pair. They were meant for each other, but he wasn’t going far, not now. He had far more to explore with his two best friends than a one night stand. Far more.

  As Gage found his release Mari joined him, a moment of passion that took her breath away. She felt something deep inside click and she knew, she knew that Gage was it for her for the rest of her life. They were one now. The moment was marred with sadness as she caught her breath and looked over at Felix.

  “You’re mated now, my love, my little sister. But we can still play and I will always be there for you. Just because we are not mated as well does not mean I can’t be your lover as well. It’s something about us bears, we mate for life but we don’t have to be monogamous. We can be quite shocking when we’re together in fact. Quite shocking.” Felix told Mari with a grin that she knew held promises he’d keep.

  Gage pulled her over him on their pallet and put her between him and Felix once more, more than willing to share the woman he’d now claimed as his own. An odd thought, he observed, but still, she was his but he would not stop her mating with anyone she desired. And tonight that included Felix.

  They all settled for the moment, a long day that started off with fear and shock ending in peace and bliss. Felix turned to Mari and she turned to Gage, a blanket appeared, and soon they were all asleep, content that life was as it should be.

  But it wasn’t.

  At 3 am Mari awoke to the sound of metal tinkling against glass. Confused by the sound she stood up, pulling another blanket around her as she went, deciding that she’d go to the bathroom during her search for the odd noise. It was a strange place for her, the cabin, so the noise might be normal, she didn’t know. It wasn’t anything to wake the men over, she knew that much.

  Walking over to the kitchen she saw nothing that could be making the sound and followed her ears, listening for the sound. It seemed to be coming from the bathroom. Good, she was heading in that direction anyway, she thought to herself.

  Mari went into the bathroom and suddenly the darkness became deeper and filled with pain that exploded in her head. As she fell to the floor Mari knew something had hit her but had no time for any other thought before she lost consciousness.

  Mari awoke with a moan, her hand moving to her head. Or it tried to. Something was holding her arms down. Mari struggled until she realized she couldn’t move at all and her eyes seemed to be covered with something. What terrified her the most, however, was the cold water she seemed to be floating in. She must be in the bathtub. As she finally came to her senses Mari also noticed a thin reedy voice, singing a bizarre song about loving the dead and dancing with corpses. A band across her mouth wasn’t enough to keep her from screaming in total fear and horror as she filled her lungs and yelled as loud as she could.

  In an instant Mari heard twin roars coming from somewhere in the house and storming feet. The bathroom door caved in, or so she suspected, and Felix and Gage were there, the sound of a body thumping against a wall with a screech telling her the captor was in hand. A ferocious growl broke out from one of the men and the man screamed, a sound filled with pain as his skin sliced open on sharp claws.

  Then Mari heard Gage’s voice. He spoke quietly, the promise of death in his tone.

  “Why are you here?” He asked.

  “The woman, I’ve come for the woman. She expressed her love to me in the gas station with her touch but you two have made her unclean. I had to make
her clean once more. She is mine; you must let me have her.” The thin voice of a man came to Mari’s ears.

  “Tell me why I shouldn’t let her mate kill you?” Felix threatened.

  “Because she is mine! We are to dance in the fairy circle at dawn and gather wildflowers by the light of the moon.” The man’s quavering voice was shaking with doubt, but not fear.

  “Gage, don’t let him up but don’t kill him. This man is obviously off his rocker. I’ll call the police.” Felix strode back into the living room, putting his phone on the speaker function as he pulled Mari from the water and wrapped her in a towel. He spoke into the phone, telling the police the address as he carried Mari into a bedroom, making sure she was alright before he went back into the bathroom, carrying the rope he’d removed from Mari.

  “Right, I’ll tie him up then you shift Gage. The police will just take his tale of bears as more of his lunacy. Come on then buddy, let me tie him up.” Felix tried to shift Gage but he refused to budge.

  Gage’s right front paw was on the man’s throat and for a moment Felix thought Gage was going to kill the man. He could see it in Gage’s eyes, the desire to kill, to protect his mate. Then it was gone and the man fell limply into Felix’s arms.

  Later that evening, in a hotel far away, the men bathed Mari in a whirlpool tub filled with bubbles as the detective on Gage’s phone relayed the information he had to them.

  “His name’s Lonny Evans. He’s got a record for petty stuff but nothing more. He’s been unbalanced for a while now. This will get him locked up for a while and we’ll keep you informed. Mari will get her phone back when we’re done with it. We won’t let the pictures leak, by the way. Or the video.” The detective sounded a bit embarrassed so they all let that pass.

  “Thanks detective, we appreciate it. Keep in touch.” Gage turned the phone off, not an easy accomplishment with a soapy bubble covered hand.

  “Hopefully that’s that then. We can get back to what’s really important now. Which one of you is going to get inside of me first tonight? Because I need you both and Felix promised me something I’d dearly love to try.” Mari said with an inviting smile that had both men throbbing instantly.

  “Oh, little sister, you are a bad one.” Felix growled at her as he joined her in the tub, his robe falling away.

  “I think I have an idea about that promise. And I call bottom for that if we’re doing that in this tub. I can get a good grip with my feet as Felix takes you from the front, Mari. Oh my, you are going to be a puddle soon aren’t you my love?” Gage asked as Mari moved to him.

  Mari couldn’t help but smile a grin of satisfaction. Their journey had been bumpy, filled with more than one shock, and had been a trial over the last 24 hours but the ending was their new beginning. Felix would eventually go his own way, Mari was sure of that, but she had him for now. It would hurt when he left but she knew he’d be going on to bigger and better things. He deserved everything a woman had to give him, after all.

  And Gage would love her, would fill that gap. Gage who whispered in her ear now of how he’d always loved her but thought she’d never want him. Gage who now promised his devotion, his entire being to her. Mari slipped into his arms, longing to feel him joining her as Felix did the same, and knew that this really was only the beginning. The beginning of something out of this world that would change them all forever. That would make them far more than friends, it would make them partners in every sense of the word.

  The End

  Part IV

  Playing the Bosses

  Menage Romance

  Chapter One

  Jess Bilson walked out of the courtroom feeling like she could take on the world. She had just won her first high profile case, and it had been a bear. The defendant, Mary Casey — pop singer beloved by millions — had just been acquitted of all charges of shooting her boyfriend, pop singer Mark Sills, to death after he hit her one too many times. The jury had ruled in favor of the self-defense plea that Jess had been arguing.

  Jess had been thrilled beyond belief when she was given the assignment. She had no idea how much work it was going to be but she took it all in stride and committed herself to working around the clock to make this a huge win for her firm. The legal fees that Mary Casey had paid towards her freedom were a staggering eight million dollars. It had been the highest profile case of the year and the fact that Jess had been chosen to lead the team was beyond anybody’s expectations.

  Jess was only four years out of Harvard Law, but during that time she had worked her tail off to prove herself. She routinely put in ninety hour weeks with the firm, and often did more. She also had won every single case she had been assigned, starting off with minor felonies, and then working her way up to murder cases. She had a perfect track record of 24 - 0.

  The thing that made her stand out among her peers — she loved to win. She loved to play the game and she treated every case as a wonderful game that she had to master. Each was an exciting Chess game with a different strategy and a different game plan that had to be worked out. Jess had learned long ago that everything in life must be approached this way because everything was a competition.

  Jess unbuttoned the button on her blazer and let out a sigh of relief, allowing her large belly to have some room at last. It wasn’t easy finding suits that made her look this good, which was a burden that all bigger girls had to deal with. Jess made no fuss about it, but she had always been a bigger woman. She actually revealed in it and she felt that it made her an even bigger force to be reckoned with in her career. She was living proof that sexy and powerful was all in the attitude. She was a pretty woman, but she knew that if she were shy and introverted about her body then she would never have the kind of success she wanted in life, in business or romance.

  Jess had never had problems with men not being attracted to her large curves, her fleshy backside, or her amazing chest — which was what she was most proud of and could make men drool or have traffic accidents if she left them on display. She smiled at the thought and remembered how much power all women could have over men if they just embraced their sexual nature a little more.

  When she got back to the office the whole place was abuzz with the news of her win. She basked in the adulation and the jealousy of her so called ‘’peers’’, as she made her way to her cramped office. She was a fourth year associate and she wondered how much longer she would have to deal with a small office. With the win on the Casey case she was starting to feel that an elevation in status was in order.

  She sat down behind her desk and grabbed a bottle of mineral water from her mini fridge. It was fully stocked as always.

  She immediately began doing some work on the Discovery aspects of the next case she had in line. No rest for the wicked, she thought. Discovery was where all the evidence was examined and presented during the pre-trial process. Many cases were won or lost right there, so it was imperative that it be done right.

  It was a sexual assault suit. A dental hygienist was accusing her boss, Dr. David Morse of inappropriate sexual misconduct of his patients while they were under anaesthesia. He had paid her off for over a year to keep quiet about his indiscretions, but a few of the patients had filed complaints that they had evidence of his activities while under sedation. Obviously he wanted all of this kept quiet since he was a highly respected dentist in Beverly Hills, who had a thriving practice and several sports cars that he had to pay for. And then there was the prison thing. He wanted to avoid that, apparently.

  She was just getting into her routine and starting to get some great work done when a knock came at her door. She looked up and saw Kelly Coffman, Alex Mather’s secretary standing there.

  “Hey, Kelly. What’s up?” Jess asked.

  “Alex wants to see you in his office.”

  “Ok, thanks.”

  Jess took another sip of her water and began the long walk down the hall and up the stairs to Alex’s office. She was a bit concerned as to why he wanted to see her. Was it ju
st to congratulate her? He usually just did that through a simple email or if he passed her in the hall first he would give her a nod about it, but this was a huge win for the firm.

  She had to admit that she was a little nervous. There was something about being in the boss’s office that made her feel like a little kid being sent to see the principal. Although none of her principals had ever been as hot as Alex Mathers. He was thirty-six, tall; handsome with a devilish smile that made you want to melt because you just knew he was up to no good. Jess had never been one to chase after bad boys, but for some reason they always seemed to be the ones that ended up in her bed. There was something about the swagger and the cocky nature of a bad boy that just made you want to surrender to them. You could see the “I don’t give a damn” attitude in the way they walked, the way they talked, and in the gleam in their eye. It was a very intoxicating package.

  She had noticed Alex giving her gushy and flirtatious glances ever since she had started working for the firm four years ago. He was one of the founding partners and he was amazing at what he did. She had been privileged enough to sit in on several big negotiation meetings with Alex and he always amazed her by the way he just so nonchalantly persuaded people to see things his way. He never got upset or lost his cool in any way. He relied on a cold, calculating instinct that used other’s emotions against them.
