To the Edge and Back [The Royal Wolves] (Siren Publishing Allure)

by Honor James

  “So amazing.” Her hand reached out and she stroked it along his chest and down his stomach, cupping him gently as she did so. “I very much want to kiss you now, Janos, to clear off your desk and give you a memory that will last forever in your mind of this moment.”

  Bending slightly toward her, he smiled. “I’m not opposed to any of that, but we move the laptop first before you sweep my desktop clean. Otherwise you get to do all the math in your head, love, and figure out how to balance my books without my nifty software that saves my sanity more times than not.”

  “Right.” She stepped back out of his arm’s reach before he could kiss her and snickered at the look on his face. She grabbed the laptop and unplugged it, taking it to the bookshelf and placing it carefully there for its own protection. “Now, should we clear everything else or just push it to the side?”

  “You can keep clearing,” he told her softly, his eyes moving over her body. She’d leaned over, just so, and had his interest piquing even more. Licking his lips slowly, he knew his eyes were fully Wolf, but he was hungry for her and her movements were enticing in the oddest of ways.

  She had cleared the desk halfway, and when she looked back at him, she saw his Wolf eyes and grinned over her shoulder at him. “Janos.” She had her back to him. Looking over her shoulder, she stretched her back and her hands to the other side of the desk, holding on and wiggling for him. “Please.” He needed her as much as she did him. She could see it in how hard he was and the Wolf in his eyes.

  Growling in appreciation, Janos moved up behind her. “I love your ass,” he murmured, stroking a firm hand down her curves. Slipping his hand between her legs, he stroked her swollen pussy lips that were as wet as water and he pressed her legs further apart. “Hold on tight, love,” he said as he pressed against her, guiding himself into her pussy.

  Her hands clenched on the opposite side of the desk and held on as she felt the first stirrings of her pleasure. “Janos.” She breathed loudly as she pushed back on him, demanding everything from him. “I love when you take me like this.” This was the first time over a desk, but she loved it and wanted more.

  Leaning over her, he squeezed her ass in one hand and pressed the other to the desk for leverage and balance. “I’ll take you like this anytime you want, anywhere you want,” he promised. “I’ll take you any which way you want.” He smiled and kissed her shoulder. “We’ll pick up a copy of the Kama Sutra when we visit Ben. I think he has a well-worn copy in his office.”

  “Think he will like knowing I’m reading.” She paused and let out a low moan as she felt him stroking deep inside of her pussy and allowed her head to fall onto the desk. “There,” she whimpered and widened her legs again for him. She then continued her earlier statement, “The Kama Sutra while I’m supposed to be working?”

  Pressing back into her, he asked, “There?” and then chuckled at her moan of pleasure. “I’ll take that as a yes,” he whispered, scraping his teeth over her skin lightly. Moving his hips faster, he hit that spot deep inside of her pussy over and over, driving into it continuously.

  Her hands clenched and she squeezed him and she screamed, her pleasure sending her into something she had never ever before been able to fathom. She screamed again as she fell over that abyss and into the darkness, knowing he would always catch her.

  Coming inside of her womb as she screamed, the sound setting off his own answering orgasm, Janos growled out her name.

  Chapter 32

  Panting, he rested his cheek to her back and closed his eyes for a long moment before carefully moving them to sit as they were joined in his chair. With her spread open to him, he stroked his hands over her front side, touching her here and there as he pulsed deep inside of her pussy.

  “Oh god.” She placed her hand over his, moving it down her front, and their combined fingers rubbed over her clitoris and stroked his shaft. “I think that I love these moments the best.” She panted as she spoke, “When you are swollen deep inside of me, the feeling of you releasing over and over deep in my core, I love it.”

  “I could stay here forever.” He smiled, kissing his mark on her shoulder, knowing that over time it would become sensitized to his touch and his alone. Flicking her clitoris with his thumbnail, he rubbed at the swollen nubbin in continuous circles while sliding their joined fingers down and around his cock, pushing at her still wet vagina.

  “I could let you,” she said without hesitation, knowing she could, always. Her fingers squeezed his cock that was pulsing deep inside of her. “I hope your office is soundproof.” Suddenly blushing as she spoke, realizing what they had been doing and just how loud she had been screaming when they fucked, she said, “I never knew I would be so loud.” Her eyes closed in embarrassment.

  “You were magnificent,” he told her with a smile, “and, yes, it is soundproof. All my offices in all the clubs and pubs are, mainly so that the sound of the music or voices of the patrons don’t piss me off. But had I thought of having my mate screaming out her pleasure in here, I’d definitely have done it for that reason alone.”

  She grinned and nodded. “Well, I’m glad that you don’t mind that I’m so loud.” Because she was very expressive in how she felt, and he made her want to scream, constantly. “I think for now though I will just half nap here while you keep touching me.” She squeezed him again, breathing rapidly as she had another little orgasm. “I hope I never get used to that, Janos. It is amazing.”

  “You nap,” he told her softly. “I’ll just keep touching you as I want to,” he murmured against her ear. Gentling his touch, he continued to stroke her, enjoying the little ripples of her inner muscles around him. “But not too long. We have a meeting we need to take before the end of business today. We also need to see Ben, don’t forget, and get you hooked into the business.”

  “I will get up when you are no longer locked inside of me.” And she was suddenly hoping that was never. She was afraid of the massive men all waiting in the bar for them, not afraid for herself, but for what they had to tell Janos.

  “It can’t be good, is it?” she asked softly, sleep no longer in her mind. “Them being here and waiting as they are.”

  “I don’t honestly know, love. I hope that it might just be news, good news, but I’m naturally pessimistic about that many Wolves of one pack sitting around waiting on me.” He may not be in line to sit on the Throne, and likely never would be, god willing, but he was of Royal blood and that was enough to make him twitchy. “In a little while we’ll know just what they want and then we won’t have to guess anymore.”

  “Do you want me there, Janos, or would you prefer that I wait in here?” Because she wasn’t Royalty, she wasn’t anyone other than Janos’s mate, and that was not enough to really allow her entrance to his inner sanctum, was it?

  “I want you at my side where you belong, love. You’re my mate,” he told her and then chuckled. “Sorry to mention this, but you just became Royalty by default, love. Mating to a Royal makes you Royal. Princess Mina,” he murmured, rolling it around. “I like that.”

  Her eyes wide, she shook her head. “Don’t call me that.” She wasn’t a princess. “Oh god.” Yep, she was. “Are you in my mind? Can you read my thoughts, Janos?” If so, that could cause issues, because she wanted him. It was unlike anything she had ever dreamed of, but she loved to feel him naked with her always.

  “Nope, no mind reading included, but I’m an animal, too, love, and I can read body language rather well,” he told her as he leaned back further in his chair. Wrapping his arms around her, even as his fingers rested between her legs, he chuckled. “I won’t call you that, but they might, which is why I brought it up, just to warn you in a way.”

  She sighed and nodded. “You just had to bring up something like that, didn’t you?” She shook her head and smiled. “Just don’t be surprised if I start to look around for the ‘princess’ if they use that term.”

  She felt him shrinking inside of her and felt a tearing sense of loss.
“We have to get dressed and figure this out, don’t we?”

  “Yup,” he told her, quietly kissing her cheek. “Time to be adults for a little while.” He hated having to be a grown-up some days. “When we get home we’ll play horny teenagers again.” His lips curved in a smile as she let out a little sigh.

  “Darn it, I think that they deserve dirty looks just because they are taking away these ‘horny teenager’ moments from us.” She touched his cheek and nodded. “It’s all right though. I love you and I will think of what we just shared as we are talking to them.” She paused and nodded. “Oh, and we will definitely be getting the Kama Sutra so that I can look it over as well and tell you just what I want.”

  “That’s my girl,” he told her softly, kissing her shoulder gently before encouraging her up off his lap. “Now, get your gorgeous bottom covered, as well as the other parts.”

  Standing, he winced as he realized he’d been sitting on his jeans. Looking over his shoulder, he saw the welt on his thigh. “Damn that smarts,” he muttered, rubbing at the button-shaped indent.

  She winced, empathizing with the pain he was in. She wanted to rub him but knew if she touched him they would never make it out of the office and into the other room. Instead she moved to her clothes, and even though she could feel their essence moving out of her body, still she shrugged and tugged on her panties and then jeans. “They will just have to get over the fact that I smell like sex.”

  Grinning at her, he waggled his brows. “I personally think it’s a great scent for you,” he told her as he tugged on his jeans and then the shirt. Sitting, he pulled on his socks and boots. “You should smell like that constantly. It’ll make all the other little Wolves jealous that their mates aren’t as happening.”

  “True. However, for me to smell like this all the time you will have a heck of a lot of work on your hands, Janos. Are you sure that you are up to it?” she teased as she tugged on her tennis shoes and then pulled her hair back with a couple of rubber bands she found on his desk. Her mating mark was just barely visible if one looked at her neck just right.

  Looking to her, he gave her a narrow-eyed look. “Tell me you did not just challenge me to prove to you just how willing I am to permanently make sure you smell like that red-hot sex?”

  Pushing to his feet, he sauntered over to her in a cocky, self-assured manner. “Because, if you did do something such as that, I would be honor bound to ensure you never walked again. At least not straight.” Janos wiggled his brows suggestively.

  She patted his chest and the twinkle was there in her eyes. “Considering that I did just make that challenge”—she shrugged and licked her lips—“and I would walk straight. You wouldn’t hurt me.” There was a pause. “You couldn’t hurt me, Janos.” She knew that better than she knew her own name.

  “Didn’t say I’d hurt you,” he murmured. “And you’re right, I wouldn’t harm you and definitely couldn’t. I love you more than my own life. But all that loving, with me constantly between your legs, spreading you wide”—his voice took on a deep, husky tone—“probably would make closing your legs a challenge,” he teased, grinning wide.

  She shivered, her eyes closed, and a moan slipping out. “My legs don’t always have to be spread. You could take me from behind and they could be closed.” She bit her lip, hand on his chest. “We should go and talk to them, Janos, Ben’s bookstore, Kama Sutra book, food, and home.” Otherwise they were going to hole up there all night long.

  Growling at her, he shook his head. “Quit getting me all worked up, woman,” he complained with a smile. “I have enough problems thinking and walking right now without you putting those delightful images in my head. Especially since we do have to talk with them,” he muttered with a frown.

  “All right.” He stepped back slightly, shaking himself mentally. “Let’s go and see what they want.”

  She stepped away from him and slipped her hand into his. “Come on.” She looked at the chair under the doorknob and shook her head. “You really, really didn’t want to be bothered, did you?” And it made her feel all light and giggly with the thought that he wanted her solely for his own. Nothing and no one else was allowed to intrude on their moments.

  “Nope,” he told her as he moved the chair to its original position and unlocked the door. “You are mine and I get to damn well have all the time I want with you, whenever I want it and wherever I want it. The world should be damned for their demands that take me from my mate’s loving arms,” he muttered, feeling his mood blackening as he moved down the hall with her.

  These Wolves were making his life difficult, not only in showing up in his club as a group but also by following them about town.

  She had to practically run, her being much shorter than him, a disadvantage until she stopped in the middle of the long hall, the music blared, and she could barely think. When he turned and looked at her, she shook her head and crossed her arms angrily over her chest. “I am not a runner, Janos. If you want to walk with me you have to adjust your pace.” She looked at his legs and then held up one of hers. “See, mine are way shorter than yours.”

  Looking to her legs, he suddenly grinned and moved back to her. Cupping her face, he leaned down to kiss her softly. “I’m sorry, love,” he murmured and picked her up in his arms to hug her close. Kissing her again, he let her down, turned, and headed up the hall to the main room. If he didn’t, he would have them back in his office with her spread under him like he really wanted.

  She had hugged him back and smiled up at him when they began the walk to the main room at a slower pace. “I know what you are thinking.” Her voice was far louder than the whisper she had wished she could give, but she was battling the jukebox and the filled room of Wolves and bikers.

  “You are thinking of going back to your office and trying your chair this time.” The last part was said loudly, and just as the song ended so that every single head in the place turned to her with a knowing grin on their faces. “Oh god, shoot me now,” she murmured and pressed her flaming-red face against Janos’s arm.

  Laughing at her embarrassment, Janos shook his head. “Not going to happen. I like you without extra ventilation, love,” he teased her. Guiding her to the bar, he got a bottle of water for her and a huge glass of juice for himself. “Come along, my pink-cheeked darling. Let’s go and talk to the group before you go up in flames.”

  “Yeah, well you could have warned me that the song was about to go off.” She grumbled once more because the music was again blaring, but it seemed everyone now found her utterly fascinating.

  Snickering, Janos just shook his head at her as he stayed between her and the majority of the room. He might have been moving casually, but he was tense and ready for anything.

  When they got to the large group of tables where the men were seated, she reluctantly took the chair that was vacated for her, and only after Janos had placed his hand on the back of it. She was a shy person by nature, so having so many people pressing in around her was slightly discomforting. However, having him there made it better.

  The largest of the men bowed his head and cleared his throat. “Thank you for seeing us.” He eyed Mina and smiled as he said, “We have come because of your mate.” He told Janos honestly, “We have spent a very long time apart and not swearing allegiance to anyone. However, now we know that the time has come for us to give our full support to those that deserve it.”

  Rubbing his knuckles over the back of Mina’s neck lightly, he frowned at them. “I think you’d better start at the beginning and work back up to that statement. I don’t know what you’re talking about, but if you don’t explain I may just do something to make me feel better after the annoyance of having you following us around on our day to be together.”

  “We have heard rumblings for the last six months.” The man just simply dove in. “There is a seer who has seen the…” He coughed and nodded. “There are five brothers of power. They are all about to come into their mates, all human women.”

  He grinned once more at Mina. “Starting with the youngest, she will be found by the youngest of the brothers. She will be shy and kind,” he explained and nodded. “When the youngest and his intended mate come together, this will herald the beginning of the peace for us all.” He sighed and nodded. “Not all want this peace, however, for it is peace not just with the Wolves, but humans as well.”

  “I’m sorry, how would Janos finding me bring anything about?” Mina interjected.

  “Because, kitten”—he leaned forward, a look of knowledge in his eyes—“you are who gives the others hope. With him finding you, it lets the other four know they don’t have to forever be alone. There is someone for each of you out there.”

  Growling at the man until he leaned away from Mina, Janos rested his hand on her neck, his fingers stroking her pulse gently. “So a seer had a vision, means nothing,” he said, never having believed in them. A seer had said that he and his brothers would have a long and happy life with their parents. No one had seen the attack on the Palace or the death and mayhem that had ensued that night.

  “It was luck or fate, if you want to stretch that far, that had me finding her when I did. We were meant to find one another at this time, means nothing to the future. Besides,” he said, shifting his stance slightly, “I’m not the one that would be bringing about anything. You’ll need to be talking to my big brother on that, if he even wants to take on that mess.” Yes, he was being a little obscure, but with all the ears in the bar, he really didn’t feel like airing the family laundry for anyone to hear just in case there was someone there that could do them harm.

  Nodding, the man sighed. “You are right. However, we couldn’t let her be hurt because of who she was to you. We will do all that we can to help protect those fated for the brothers until they are able to bring them in and protect them for themselves.”

  He crossed his meaty hands over his belly. “We will also continue to help protect them for when the brothers aren’t able to be around. We failed before, but never again.” They had failed to save the queen. They had lost many of their warriors in that battle, but in the end they had failed. That wouldn’t happen with the new generation.
