“Daniella, this is not up for discussion,” Baher stated. He was truly getting annoyed with her attitude and recalcitrant behavior.
She stood up and placed her hands on her hips. “Not up for discussion? Bullshit! I am not some weak female who is going to bow down to any of you and sit inside some security room and act all girly while the rest of you risk your lives hunting this asshole. I’m in and involved in the investigation, or I’m not speaking with Margo and learning about this healing stuff.”
Baher stepped forward and grabbed her around the waist, hoisting her up against him.
They were both breathing heavy, and their hearts were racing.
“You have got to be the most stubborn woman I have ever met in my entire life,” Baher told her through grinding teeth.
“Well, then you haven’t been to the right places or lived in the real world. Most women are not damsels in distress, mister. They are independent, well-trained, and get-the-job-done professionals. Get used to it, or we’re going to be fighting every minute of every day.”
He shook his head at her in frustration then turned her around to face the others as he wrapped his arms around her midsection.
“So what are we going to do with her?” Baher asked his brothers, and everyone stared at Dani.
* * * *
Dani was feeling crazy. Every time one of the men made a comment like this one Baher just made, she felt such a sexual pull and need that she completely forgot why she was arguing with them to begin with. Randolph gave her a knowing smirk, and it both made her annoyed and made her smile.
“You know this isn’t fair, don’t you? I’ve been in law enforcement since I entered the police academy when I was twenty years old. This is what I do. Investigation is my life, and I don’t think I should have to give that up.”
They were all silent a moment.
“There will be no need for you to do it anymore,” Vanderlan stated in a deep voice.
When he spoke, she felt it in every part of her. There was a different connection than with the Fagan brothers. The intensity was the same, but with Vanderlan she felt it in her veins. It must have something to do with the whole blood and vampire thing.
“It is more than that, Daniella. You have no idea how difficult this is for us to be sharing you. As a vampire, I do not share. I have done my part in providing assistance to many types of mythical creatures and shifters, but, just like the wolves, I have searched all my life, centuries, for a mate, and here you are, and it seems that I must share you with wolves. It does not sit well with me. Just as I am certain it does not sit well with the Fagan Pack. But we all know that there is a higher power than our own desires and hang-ups. As my mate, I will do whatever I need to do to protect you and keep you by my side. You going off on a hunt for a beast that has gotten your scent and now craves you is not an option I am willing to even consider.”
“But, Vanderlan, I, too, am struggling with this entire concept. As a human, being sexually involved with more than one man at one time is slutty and taboo. Yet you all expect me to just accept it. You also expect me to give up everything I have worked hard for and achieved, yet you all give up nothing. How is that fair?”
“You will be quite busy as the Alpha female to the Fagan Pack. There will be many responsibilities for you, just as I am certain Vanderlan will have some for you as well,” Van replied.
She crossed her arms in front of her chest as Baher released her.
“I am not ready to give up my life and my career. I want it both, and I would appreciate it if you all could take the time to try to work this out. I can help you. Let me remain involved with the investigation.” A collective sigh went through the room. She could hear their thoughts. They wanted to keep her under wraps. They wanted to make love to her, hold her in their arms, and keep her safe. She saw their fear of this rogue trying to capture her, kill her, or take from her what it wanted. She felt it all as she closed her eyes and tried to remain strong.
“Please give this a try, and I promise to try my hardest to understand and submit to your demands as wolves and as a vampire. God that sounds so crazy,” she stated, and then Baher turned her around and pulled her into his arms.
“You are stubborn, woman.” He kissed her softly on the lips. She fell right into his trap as he made love to her mouth, while his hands explored her body and caressed her from ass to shoulders then back over her ass again.
As he released her lips, she hugged him back.
“One more thing,” she stated, and they sighed in annoyance.
“Do I really need silver bullets to kill a wolf?” she asked.
“You won’t need anything because you won’t be getting close enough,” Baher replied.
“There’s something else you all are going to have to learn about me. I like guns. I like all types of guns and I enjoy going to the range and letting off some steam. I’m a homicide detective and I have a license. I want my guns. I want to carry my weapon and I want to be prepared. It is who I am and you all need to accept that.”
They thought it over but without her hearing their words. They blocked her.
“I will get them for you. You can load your Glock and be prepared as you ask.” Randolph rose from the chair and exited the room.
The doorbell rang and Bently walked out of the living room to answer the door.
“That should be Margo. Can you be a good mate and accept her help in showing you what it means to be a healer?” Vanderlan asked in an annoyed tone. She was a bit taken aback by it but realized that was his vampire arrogance showing through. He was a superior creature and man. She knew that he had the ability to destroy most anything in his path and a bit of trepidation reached her heart. A moment later she felt the cool hand touch her shoulder. He had been directly in front of her, leaning against the couch, and now he was behind her, moving her hair away from her neck and whispering against her skin.
“Do not fear me, mate. I adore you already and would never do you harm.” He kissed her skin. His warm breath traveled through her body. “Besides, you are way too tasty.” He licked her skin then gently ran his sharp teeth across her neck and firmly against the vein. She shook with anticipation, feeling her own need to be bitten by him fill her to her soul. “Later,” he told her as Margo and Bently entered the room.
Chapter 12
“Okay, so let me get this straight. You’re telling me that as a healer, I have magical powers within me to heal even those who may be dying?”
“Well, technically yes. However, you cannot use it freely. Normally a healer is temporarily selected to provide this service to mythical creatures or whomever the gods feel it necessary to maintain power and justice. We, as healers, are never betrothed to anyone. We are free spirits when not serving. This is what makes your situation so outrageous and wild. To be betrothed, destined to be the mate of the wolf pack you are sent to help protect is rare. I’m not saying it has never happened, but it is rare. But then add in the vampire, too, and holy shit, the entire concept is insane,” Margo stated.
“That’s wonderful. So, I’m the first this has ever happened to. Is that bad?” Dani asked, feeling instant anxiety until Vanderlan sensed her worry and intervened. He began to console her and calm her worry. He was always there for her, and it both freaked her out and comforted her. She felt the others as well and Van projected some anxiety about the visit from the Fennigan Pack.
“Not bad per se but actually pretty damn amazing. It can only lead me to believe that you are destined to provide much-needed help along the way. Your wolves and the vampire will need your healing powers as they fight to maintain their standing and control of Fagan Pack territory. I cannot foresee what is to come, but if the gods have sent you here and have hidden you like this for this long, then there is something brewing.”
“Like what? Do you think there are more rogues out there?” Dani asked, feeling instant concern for her men.
“It is probable. So I think we should begin to explore your powers. T
here is really nothing to it as long as your heart is pure and remains focused for the right reasons. It is one of the fool-proof ways to ensure that a healer doesn’t stray from good to bad. You can’t heal an evil spirit. The gods have the ultimate power.
“So if a rogue or whomever tries to capture or exploit a healer, then they will not succeed. Unfortunately it leaves you with little power to defend yourself. However, you are different in that way, too. You are a fighter. You have your obsession with weapons and upholding the law. I am not certain of what is to come, but this current battle may only be the beginning.”
“Well, I guess we should get as prepared as possible. Although I think you may be wrong about the level of my involvement in this. The men seem to want to keep me out of this. I won’t be able to do that. I want to catch this rogue wolf. He has killed so many innocent people. While you explain things to me, can you also show me how to block my thoughts from them fully. They’re making me crazy by answering my thoughts and listening in then talking at the same time. It’s freaky. Besides, there are some things I would really like them to not know about.”
“Ohh, like what?” Margo teased.
“Well, earlier I panicked when I entered the room and saw them there. It was overwhelming to me to see them like that after we had sex. They are so very handsome and, well, appealing to every part of me. It was scary and I panicked about our relationship. I don’t do commitment, Margo. You know that.”
“You mean like your relationship with the cop, Jack?”
Dani blushed. “You knew about him?”
“Honey, he was a fine-looking man and a great body in that uniform of his.”
Dani chuckled as she thought about Jack.
Then she felt a pinch to her ass cheek and jumped.
“Ouch!”
“Watch it!” all six men stated firmly, and she swallowed hard.
“They heard you?” Margo asked, looking as if she felt guilty and to blame.
She took Dani’s hand as Dani rubbed her sore ass cheek.
“We’ll work on that first before we go any further. Your mates don’t need to know all the details around your abilities anyway.”
“Won’t they get mad at us?” Dani asked.
Margo smiled as they took a seat on the long sofa.
“No worries, us women have to stick together.”
* * * *
Miele was making lunch, and Van and Vanderlan were getting updates on some information as they waited for the Fennigan Pack to arrive.
Dani was talking with Bently and Baher in the study when Randolph arrived. He closed the door behind him, and she immediately saw her Glock in his hands.
She locked gazes with him as he approached.
“It’s all set with silver bullets.” Randolph handed over the Glock, handle forward.
She reached for it and he held on to it.
“This is serious stuff. It will kill most anything and it kills wolves.”
She swallowed hard. She felt the intensity in the room. She knew this was very difficult for them and that they truly trusted her to hand this over to her. The silver was their weakness.
“You handled it okay, Randolph?” Bently asked with concern. He projected his reasoning behind his question to Dani as Randolph released the gun to her.
Just touching it could have seriously injured Randolph. He’d used some sort of special gloves to handle it.
“I wanted her to be safe,” Randolph stated.
Dani swallowed. Then she turned to point her gun up toward the window as if practicing to aim it like she missed holding it in her hands. Truth was that she did. She liked guns and having them. She just didn’t like to shoot people with them. Knowing that she had this power of the silver bullets humbled her obsession. But as she thought about the rogue wolf and its potential to do her men harm, she felt confident.
She lowered the weapon, and Randolph was instantly there to take it from her hands. She wasn’t certain why until he passed the Glock to Bently who placed it in a drawer by the bookshelf.
Randolph pulled Dani into his arms and cupped her neck and head before leaning down to kiss her fully on the mouth.
In an instant, that kiss turned hotter. He lifted her up, and she straddled his waist as he devoured her moans.
She was against the wall a moment later as Randolph began to unbutton her blouse and divest her of her bra and the top she wore.
She helped him as they released lips to undress. Her breasts bounced as he pulled off his shirt, revealing muscles and tattoos galore.
“Fuck, Dani, you holding a gun turns me on.” He ravaged her mouth again. They were both on a mission to conquer that kiss, and soon he was lowering her feet to the floor to remove the rest of her clothing.
She tore at Randolph’s pants, helping him so they were both naked and skin to skin. As their bare bodies touched, they both moaned.
He lifted her up again so that she could straddle him as he walked over to the couch.
Her pussy dripped with cream, the anticipation of having his long, thick shaft inside of her, fucking her, made her hungry.
He fell to the couch, and she adjusted her legs as she squatted above him.
He pulled her head and neck down so Randolph could kiss her. His tongue plunged into her mouth, and her breathing grew rapid as they both moaned with need.
She felt the tip of his cock at her pussy lips as she lifted up so she could take him in. He released her hair and neck, grabbed her hips, and pushed down while he thrust his hips upward.
“Oh!” she screamed as his hard cock invaded her needy pussy. Up and down he thrust his cock into her, causing her to lose any bit of ability to assist. Instead, she relished in the pleasure he was bringing her.
She felt the hands on her shoulders. Then Randolph slowed his thrusts down.
A kiss to her neck, a nibble on her earlobe. She rolled her head back against Bently’s chest. His hard cock tapped against her lower spine and she moaned.
“I’ve got something for you, mate. You’re so beautiful,” he said. Then she felt the cool liquid press into her anus. She jerked, and Randolph thrust up again and again.
A moment later she felt the tip of his cock at her back entrance then him slowly push into her.
She lowered her cheek against Randolph’s shoulder and neck and began to lick, nibble, and suck his skin.
“Fuck, Dani, I can’t take that,” Randolph told her then both men began to thrust into her one after the other. She was fully aroused ready to burst when Randolph beat her to it. He held her so tight as he thrust repeatedly up into her pussy. His large hand cupped her neck and face, and he growled his release, exploding inside of her. She held her breath then released it as she pushed back against Bently’s cock.
“Fucking beautiful.” Bently began a series of long, hard strokes into her ass. He reached down and spread her ass cheeks wider while he pumped his hips over and over again.
Randolph pulled her to him as he licked along her shoulder where the bite marks had been inflicted but healed instantly because of her gift.
For a moment she wished they had remained so she could show them what they meant to her and that she accepted their claiming.
Bently continued to fuck her in the ass then grabbed a fistful of hair while he leaned down and sucked at the tattoo on her neck. She felt it burn, and then he exploded inside of her, pumping three more times before lying against her as he caught his breath.
He slowly pulled from her body and kissed her shoulders.
“Ours forever,” he stated, and Randolph repeated the sentiment.
He slowly lifted her up off of him and into Baher’s arms.
Before she could recover from her first round of lovemaking, Baher had her spread out on the large round table with her legs wide open and his palms holding her in place as he licked along her pussy lips. He ate at her cream and was relentless with his tongue and teeth.
She rolled her head side to side and then felt his tongue thicken
and elongate. He told her what he was doing.
“One of the many benefits of being with a wolf, mate.”
Dani couldn’t give a verbal response. She was moaning and gyrating her pussy against his tongue on the verge of exploding when he stopped and pulled his wolf tongue from her pussy.
“No, please do that again,” she begged of him.
“You are too mouthy of a mate. I think you need to learn some control of that tongue.”
“What? Come on Baher. It feels so good.”
“Who is the Alpha male here?” he teased her then licked across her nipple and bit gently as he pulled her ass closer to the edge of the table.
She bent her knees as she squealed.
“You are my woman and I decide what is best for you.”
He lined his cock up with her pussy and pressed into her hard. She reached for his shoulders and held on to him as he thrust again and again into her. She felt the hard wood against her ass, and as he pressed deeper and harder with every stroke, she felt her ass cheeks spread and her oversensitive puckered hole hit the surface.
“Oh!” she screamed, and Baher continued to stoke her pussy as he licked and sucked her nipples.
“I’m going to come!” she yelled at him, and he stopped. She wondered what was happening. She wondered why he would do that.
He held her gaze with his own. His hazel eyes showed specks of yellow. His wavy brown hair looked messy and oh so sexy.
“You come when I say,” he told her.
Oh God, he’s so sexy and demanding.
Baher thrust his cock into her once then pulled nearly all the way out. Her body jerked with the motion.
He pressed her arms up above her head as he towered over her. What a sight she must be, spread open wide and naked on top of a table in the study.
“I like you like this. All spread out before me to feast on with your hands held above your head. One day real soon I’m going to tie you up to the bed, spread eagle so I can lick, suck, bite, and fuck you.”
