“Her mates? Are you serious?” Benjamin asked.
Jaydin smiled to himself. He knew that Benjamin had a thing for Sal. Hell, after Jaydin showed his brothers her picture and explained a little bit about her, they, too, were very interested.
“Yes, that’s the plan. So here is where you come in.”
“Me?”
“Yes, Benjamin, you’re going to have to help me get some alone time with her. I was thinking tomorrow evening at the awards ceremony. Why don’t you ensure that Reggie is kept busy. I’ll take care of the rest. Centron will call you with further instructions.”
“And what about Fennigan pack?” he asked.
“They shouldn’t be there, but if they show up, they won’t stand in the way of our plans. We’ll have plenty of our people around. Besides, it could give us an insight into why exactly they have been following Sal. Perhaps they know she is special and maybe they are guards of some sort?”
“If they are, then they’ll fail just as they failed protecting their mate Margo. My people will call you with the plan.” Jaydin chuckled.
“Yes, Alpha, I understand.” Benjamin sounded upset.
Well, tough shit. Sal was going to become part of their pack, and soon enough he would gain an understanding of exactly why she smelled so enticing, and what was it about her that all these Alpha wolves suddenly swarming around her? Perhaps the Fennigan men hadn’t learned their lesson?
“Sir, we just got word that Adrian and Brady Fennigan have landed in New York. They’re here, too, sir,” Stoll, one of his Betas, told him.
Jaydin felt the immediate concern. Why would Angus summon his brothers here? They’d been apart for nearly a year. Carbarone, Jaydin’s uncle, had wolves in place to take over certain pack property in Ireland on command. Could they be aware of the mission? He thought about that but then kept thinking about how closely Quinn and Angus had been sticking to Sal.
He needed to get to the bottom of this, and the best way would be by engaging her himself. If the Fennigan men tried to ruin this plan of his uncle’s, then they would die just like their mate had, pleading for mercy, giving up her life for theirs.
* * * *
Delaney was trying to get over the reality of the situation and the fact that his mate, a new one, was accessible and right here, yet she dismissed him and his brothers. It was the human side of her, but it was really pissing him off. One look around the room at Quinn, Eagan, and Angus, and he could tell that they were having difficulty with this as well.
Sal crossed her legs and leaned back against the couch cushion.
“So, it’s getting late and tomorrow is going to be a long day and night for Reggie and me,” Sal stated.
“Late night?” Reggie asked.
She smirked. “Did you forget about the black-tie affair and dedication ceremony?”
“Oh shit,” Reggie stated and stood up.
“What’s this about?” Angus asked.
“This dedication ceremony for the department. It’s a black-tie affair, invitation only, lots of big shots. I completely forgot,” Reggie told them.
Delaney turned toward Sal, letting his thigh brush against hers. She turned toward him and held his gaze. He could smell her arousal. She was attracted to his wolf, to him.
“Do you really have to go?” He moved his arm over the top part of the couch above her. She was feminine and gorgeous despite her attitude and tough demeanor. She raised her eyes to him.
“Delaney, not that it’s any of your business, but yes, I do have to go. My lieutenant made me confirm my attendance today in his office.”
He stared into her eyes. “How long is this event?” He placed his hand on her knee and left it there. Sal’s lips parted and her face went flush. He held her gaze. “I could think of a lot better, more enjoyable things we could do for an entire night, right here in your town house,” he whispered.
She licked her lips and his cock went so damn hard he wanted nothing more than to lift her up onto his lap and taste her sweet lips.
“Hmmm, as intriguing as that sounds, Romeo, I’ve got plans. So, I need to start getting ready for bed. I’m assuming that you all made arrangements to sleep at a hotel or at Reggie’s tonight?” she asked as she stood up.
Quinn stood up and placed his hands on her waist stopping her from exiting the room. “We’re not going anywhere, mate. We’ll be right by your side from now on.”
“I don’t think so,” she started to say when Quinn abruptly pulled her against him and covered her mouth and kissed her. Delaney felt his own wolf celebrate the kiss, and as Sal initially resisted and then became putty in Quinn’s arms, Delaney looked at his brothers. All of them watched with hunger in their eyes.
“I’ll be going now,” Reggie whispered and tiptoed out of the room. Delaney heard the door close just as he heard Sal moan into Quinn’s mouth. Eagan stood up and caressed her shoulders and back. Sal jerked, pulling her lips from Quinn’s as they both panted for breath.
“Why did you do that?” she asked him.
“I couldn’t resist any longer, mate,” Quinn said and then Eagan caressed her cheek, causing her to turn her face toward him. Eagan smiled. “You are gorgeous, Sal.” He leaned forward and kissed her next.
Delaney stood up as Quinn stepped from her side and took his place. Delaney’s heart was pounding in his chest. He just couldn’t believe that the gods had granted them a second chance, another mate. He was worried about her. He wanted to keep her in his arms and hold her to protect her from any potential harm.
Eagan released her lips and smiled. “Delicious and beautiful,” he said.
Delaney reached out and cupped her cheek. She turned to look at him.
“You’re too much. All of you,” Sal whispered.
“Not too much for you, mate. Just exactly what you need.” Delaney touched his lips to hers and slowly took a taste. She was sweet, sexy, and inviting. In no time he felt her arms wrap around him and grip tight when he lifted her up so she would straddle his waist best she could. The kiss grew deeper, wilder as he carried her out of the room and to the bedroom. He knew where it was, could smell her scent strongest in that room and on her bed.
Delaney lowered her down, careful not to crush her as he lay half over her, his thigh between her thighs, separating her legs. He slowly released her lips.
He smiled. “You pack a hell of a punch, Detective.”
“I could say the same thing for you and your brothers.”
He raised one eyebrow at her. “You didn’t enjoy it?”
“I did, but that can’t happen again. I’m not ready to just accept this.”
“Why the hell not?” Eagan asked as Quinn joined them in the bedroom doorway. Sal looked up and pulled her bottom lip between her teeth then cleared her throat.
“Let me up, Delaney.”
He held her gaze and caressed her cheek with one finger as he stared down into her big brown eyes. He played with the buttons on her blouse, ready to undo them and see just how well endowed their mate was.
“And if I don’t want to?”
She took a breath and released it slowly. “Delaney, I said I needed time to process this. That means without being pushed or persuaded by use of force.”
“Use of force?” Eagan asked as he raised his voice and placed his hands on his hips.
“This is not use of force. We’d never physically hurt you or make you do something you’re not ready for.” Delaney knew he sounded insulted. He damn well was insulted.
“That’s not what I meant when I said use of force. I mean sexual stimulation. Using the physical attraction between us to persuade me to allow you free access to my body, my mind, and my soul.” She attempted to move and stand. “Now let me up.” She tried pushing up and Delaney held his position momentarily just to let her know he was allowing this as her Alpha. It was an odd thought process. Most women just obeyed his commands. Most people did for that matter. Slowly he rose and reached out a hand to help her. When she was standin
g on her feet, he wrapped an arm around her waist and looked down into her big brown eyes.
“Can’t you try to let it happen? Just let yourself go, even if only for a moment so you can feel our sincerity?” he asked.
She swallowed hard. “I’m trying here, Delaney. This is the closest I’ve allowed a man to get to me in quite some time. There are four of you in my town house. Three squeezed into my bedroom. It’s intimidating for various reasons.”
“Like what?” Eagan asked, stepping closer and caressing her cheek. Delaney released her to Eagan, who took her hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed her knuckles.
“This. Like what you just did. I’m not used to that. I’m used to being alone, and handling my life on my own and being independent and coming and going when I want to.”
“That only needs to change a little,” Quinn stated as he leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, eyes glued to their mate. Sal stood there and stared at him.
* * * *
Sal didn’t know what to do next. Truth was, she was entirely too turned on right now to resist them in any manner. Should she let them have her body? Their kisses were so freaking amazing. No one ever made her feel like this. But six men? Six huge-ass, monster-sized Alpha males in all sense of the word, wanted to have sex with her and mark her their woman.
Would it be so bad? Would life changing be so terrible?
She felt the lips against her cheek. Then Eagan released her to Quinn. He pulled her into his arms and whispered into her ear.
“Just do me a favor and relax and feel what’s happening here. Just listen to your body, and forget everything else just for a moment or two. Please, baby.”
He begged in that deep, sexy voice, and it pulled on her heartstrings. She closed her eyes as Quinn kissed along her jaw, her neck, while his hands gently explored her body, and then she felt another person behind her. In her mind she knew it was Eagan. She pictured him. He was so tough, rough looking, and forceful in his personality. She felt her heart race just thinking about what Eagan and Quinn looked like and how appealing their bodies were. She felt the lips against her neck from Eagan. Then Quinn kissed her lips softly, pulling away to tease her jaw before returning back to her lips. He was good at seduction, and she was enjoying him teasing her.
Sal felt the sensations filter through her system. Their scent, cologne, trees, outdoors, heaven. She inhaled and then Quinn kissed her again, shocking her and sending her mind into a scene of its own.
She saw him so clearly. In her mind Quinn was kind, quiet, and intelligent. He had helped to plan the counterattack that day their mate was murdered. He felt such a loss. He had thought he would never feel any love for another person again. Her heart ached for him, and then she saw Eagan.
He had such a strong spirit. He was noble, loyal, and so intense. When she envisioned his wolf, reddish brown just like the color of his hair, she knew it was him in wolf form. It shocked her. She understood what was happening and it hit her suddenly.
I can see who they really are.
Her mind flashed to them making love, naked bodies entwined, and when she realized there was a cock in her pussy and one in her ass as she opened her mouth to take another cock to suck it, she gasped, pulling from Eagan and Quinn.
Stepping toward the door, she held her hand over her chest and saw that her blouse was undone. Her large breasts flowed from the black lace bra she wore, and Quinn, oh God, Quinn’s shirt was pulled open. He look wild and hungry.
“Sal, it’s okay. You let go. You allowed the power of the bond be free.”
She shook her head. She ran her hands over her face and eyes. “I saw you. I saw all of us together. I…I’m sorry, I can’t do this.” She turned to leave the room and hurried down the hallway, shocked at the emotions she was feeling, just as she collided with Angus. He grabbed her arms and held her tight. He appeared furious, and at first she thought it was directed toward her, but then he looked over her and right to his brothers.
“What have you done?” he asked as he tried buttoning her blouse.
“No, it’s okay. Nothing happened. We just kissed.” She pulled her blouse lapels from Angus’s huge hands.
He looked back down at her. “You’re upset.”
“No, I’m shocked. I said I needed time to process this. I’m not certain this is what I want.”
“You don’t have a choice. We are your mates as you are our mate. Get used to it, Salina, there will be no other alternatives.” He released her and turned around to leave. He looked back at his brothers, stared at them, but no words were spoken. Eagan followed as well as Quinn.
“I’ll sleep on the couch. The others will stay somewhere else for the night,” Delaney stated then walked to the couch.
She stood there feeling stupid, out of her mind for pushing away four gorgeous, sexy men who wanted to have sex with her. But there was more to it than sex, even she knew that. Plus, she saw their minds, their personalities for who they were. If what she saw was true, then Quinn and Eagan were amazing men, and any woman would be blessed to have them as her men.
So why can’t I?
Sal turned around, her blouse moving gently behind her as she walked back to her bedroom. She closed the door and covered her face with her hands.
I’m making a mess of things. I’m hurting them, and they’ve already suffered so much. But why do they want me? Why is this our destiny? What is it that they want from me? Show me. Let these powers or whatever they are be explained to me and released.
I need proof because once I have sex with six different men who can shift into wolves on a snap of their fingers, I’ll never be the same again, and no man will ever want me. That’s a huge risk for something I don’t even know is real or exists.
Show me, damn it. Just show me.
Chapter 9
“What’s the plan?” Jaydin asked as he fixed the bow tie to his designer tux. His brothers Jett and Jeremiah stood there already dressed for the event in their tuxedos as well.
Jaydin ran his hand through his blond hair, slicking it back. “What do you think?” he asked his brothers.
“You know you look good,” Jett told him as he fixed his diamond cuff links.
“The woman doesn’t stand a chance. She’ll be throwing herself at us before the end of the night,” Jeremiah added.
“Don’t be too cocky with this one, Jeremiah. Sal is a cop, a homicide detective. She shoots first and asks questions later. That kind of tough attitude makes her dangerous in many ways,” Jaydin responded.
“I like tough. If she’s an Alpha like Uncle Vargon believes, then she will be good enough for the three of us. Have we identified her bloodline yet?” Jeremiah asked.
His brother was cocky and a bit overaggressive with women. Jaydin hoped that he could keep his cool at the event. The last thing they needed was for a situation to occur and a fight to break out.
“Torque will be in the vicinity. He believes he’ll be able to identify her pretty quickly even if she covers her scent and powers with some kind of magic.”
“That’s one thing that bothers me. What if she uses magic on one of us?” Jett asked.
“Don’t piss her off and she won’t. Just be your calm, debonair self, Jett, and Sal will fall for it,” Jaydin replied.
“You met her one time for under a minute, how the hell would you know her response to us?” he asked.
Jaydin turned to look at his brothers. “She is meant to be ours. To mate with a Magi, or whatever she is, will give our pack extra power. Other packs, weaker ones, like Skylar pack and that pussy Alpha McCarthy, will give up easily once he knows what we possess. She’ll be ours and it will be another added defense against the Circle’s response or even attack.”
“I’m not too confident about your choice of women. You always go for the model types with no brains,” Jeremiah added.
Jaydin smirked. “For an easy fuck, you bet I do. But for a mate, I won’t accept anything but perfection.” Jaydin scrolled down his phone and
then handed it to Jeremiah and Jett. After Jaydin showed his brothers her picture and explained a little bit about her, they, too, were very interested.
“This is Sal?” Jett asked. A smile formed on his face and his eyes looked about to change to his wolf eyes. Jeremiah licked his lips.
“A tasty-looking morsel indeed. How the hell could she be a detective?” Jeremiah asked.
“She won’t be for much longer. The three of us will see to that,” Jaydin stated firmly, and Jett and Jeremiah chuckled.
“Let’s go,” Jeremiah said.
“Patience, brother. Remember that this is a mission, and with a woman as lovely and enticing as Salina, we are not going to be the only men and wolves interested.”
Jeremiah growled low. Jett did the same. Both men showed their wolf teeth.
“I’ll kill any wolf or man that stands in the way,” Jeremiah said.
“Definitely,” Jett added. Jaydin nodded in agreement.
“Be ready. It may come down to that.”
* * * *
“I’ll take care of her. It will only be about four or five hours for the event,” Reggie told Angus as he waited for Sal to get ready.
“We’ll be there,” Quinn told him.
Reggie squinted his eyes. “But how? It’s an invitation-only event and all tickets sold out months ago.”
Angus smiled.
“We’re resourceful wolves, and we won’t leave our mate unattended for long,” Quinn added.
“Are you all going to be there?” Reggie asked.
“Yes. But no worries, lad, we’re fixing on ensuring our woman’s safety incognito.”
“Sounds good. I’m certain everything will be fine. It’s a charity event. What could possibly be dangerous about that?” Reggie said as Eagan whistled long and low. They all turned around and there stood Sal dressed in a red slim-fitting silk dress that hugged her curves and had a long, high slit up the right side. She looked like a fashion model.
“Hot damn, Sal, you’re gorgeous,” Reggie said, his eyes landing on her abundant cleavage and bare shoulders. It was strapless and showed the definition in her arms and shoulders. When she twirled around, he saw how low cut the back was and knew she wasn’t wearing any bra.
