The New Breed

by Jaden Sinclair

  “And I say that is a load of crap!” he yelled. She flinched when he yelled, but stood her ground with him. “You’re afraid of being happy!”

  “Go to hell.” She gave him her back and headed for the bedroom.

  The one thing she wasn’t expecting, but should have, was Kane to follow.

  “Not this time,” he growled when she tried to close the door on him. “I’m not going to be shut out anymore!”

  She got the door closed, locked in fact. But it didn’t stay that way. Kane kicked it open and Jada jumped. “Are you out of your damn mind?”

  “As a matter of fact, I am right now.” He went up to her, backing her up to the wall, boxing her in with his arms over her head and his body pressed close. “I’m tired of you shutting me out, running away.

  It all ends right now or so help me I’ll hog tie your ass home and keep you tied to my bed until you come to reason.”

  “You wouldn’t.” On purpose, Jada raised her chin up and challenged him. Why? She couldn’t say.

  And Kane took the bait. He pushed himself from the wall, grabbed both of her arms, jerking her off it as well. They had a small stare off before he turned them and shoved her down on the bed.

  She fought with herself not to show any interest when Kane pulled his shirt over his head, tossing it behind him. Each move he made the thick muscles on his chest and arms moved. It was mouth watering to watch him move, but even though she wanted him like she needed to breathe, she wasn’t going to give in to her desires.

  “What the fuck do you think you’re doing, wolf boy?” she asked, rising up on her elbows.

  Kane had kicked his shoes off and opened his belt. His hands stilled at the snap of his jeans and those sexy blue eyes of his gave her the chills when he met hers.

  “Showing you reason,” he told her. “Take them off.”

  Both eyebrows went up. Jada tried to put on the innocent look.

  “Take what off, my shoes?”

  “I’ll rip them all off if I have to.” He sounded on edge. His voice so thick and deep she felt it all the way to her clit.

  “I thought I told you last time you tried to pull this shit that I don’t like being told what to do.” Jada spoke through her teeth, hoping like hell she was putting on a good front with him.

  “I smell different,” he snickered back.

  Her breath left her when he pulled his jeans open and pushed them down his legs. Kane wasn’t wearing anything under them and stood before her naked as the day he was born. And he was very hard.

  Jada rolled her eyes, “I don’t think so.” She put her foot up, pressing against his chest, stopping him when he made an advance towards her.

  Kane looked down at her foot on his chest. He wrapped one hand around her ankle, moved it up her leg to the knee, back down then, out of nowhere, and flipped her over to her stomach. Jada cried out.

  Kane grabbed the back of her shirt and ripped it down her back.

  “Are you out of your damn mind!” she yelled. He didn’t answer, just pulled the ripped shirt from under her, then both hands went to her waist, gripping her jeans. “Don’t you fucking do it you shit!” He pulled to the sides and her jeans made a very loud ripping sound, parting to the side. “I can’t believe you did that!”

  He chuckled behind her. “You should. Done it once, why not again.”

  He grabbed her hips, pulling her up to her knees. Jada was about to tell him off when he did the unexpected. “Ouch! You bit me.” He did. Right on her ass.

  Kane licked the same spot and purred. “Damn I love it when you wear this kind of panties. Almost makes it a shame to rip them off.”

  “I’ll show you rip.” She rose up on her knees, reached back, and fisted both of her hands into his hair.

  He hissed and bit her again, on the shoulder. Jada almost climaxed from the pleasure of the bite. She didn’t fight him as he pulled her panties down her legs. Jada was half expecting him to rip them off as he did her other clothes.

  Both of his hands closed around her breasts, squeezing the mounds before pulling her bra up to release them. He wrapped one arm around her, over her chest and his other hand slid down her body, cupping her throbbing pussy. Jada moaned and Kane sucked on her shoulder, sliding his hips, pressing his hot cock between her legs.

  She parted her legs as much as the panties on her knees would allow. The feel of the head of his cock teasing her clit was pure torture, but one she’d missed terribly. When the change in her happened, she couldn’t answer. And when the hell she started craving his touch, she would never know.

  It felt like he was using his body only to push her back down to her hands and knees. She hung her head down, he let go of her shoulder. He pushed her hair to the side, leaving the mark available for him. One swift motion and Kane was embedded deeply inside her.

  Jada gasped. He stretched her, burned her in more places than one.

  And she loved it. With his hands planted on the bed next to her, chest touching her back, and his mouth kissing around the mark, Kane moved. It felt like he wasn’t holding anything back with her, and wasn’t doing gentle. He pulled out, thrust in hard and powerful. It took her breath away, and left her panting to catch it back.

  The bed rocked with his motions. Jada fisted her hands into the bedding, pushing back against his thrust, praying for it to end, yet, at the same time, hoping like hell it wouldn’t.

  She heard the rip and knew her panties were gone as well. But she didn’t care. Kane stopped, turned over with her in his arms, and slammed her down onto his lap. The position, her facing away from him, had a deeper, thicker feel. He yanked her bra from her body and both hands cupped her breasts. She grabbed his arms and moved, rocked her hips. It wasn’t enough.

  This time Jada stopped, only so she could turn around and face him. With his help, his cock stayed inside her as she straddled his lap.

  Jada took hold of his face kissed him deep and loved the man before her with her body. She slapped into him just as he had done to her many times, and Kane helped her. His hands grabbed her ass, giving her an extra push each time she took him back into her body.

  Tears formed in her eyes with the pressure that was slowly building up inside her. The orgasm that was coming was going to be different. She knew it. She didn’t fight it. She moved faster, harder, reaching out for the release as she kissed him deeply.

  Jada broke the kiss with an, “Oh, God!”

  Her climax hit, as did the tears. The sob that slipped past her lips matched the release in her body. She couldn’t stop either. She cried and moaned at the same time, and Kane kept pushing her. He slammed her hard onto him, making the orgasm seem to last longer.

  When she rested her head on his shoulder his lips closed on the mark, biting her. One climax turned into another and all she could do was wrap her arms around his neck and ride it out.

  She felt him swell inside her, heard the moaning growl against her shoulder, and even felt his seed fill her up. But she couldn’t stop crying, even when his arms held her tight against him, she couldn’t stop.

  “Shh,” he soothed. “It’s okay.”

  Jada slapped him on the back. “You damn animal,” she cried into his shoulder. “Why’d you have to do that?”

  “Do what?”

  She sniffed back the tears and moved back to face him. “Come back into my life?”

  He wiped the tears from her cheek, taking a deep breath.

  “Because as much as you want to fight it, I love you.” He kissed her.

  “There isn’t anyone else out there for me.”

  Jada lost it and cried fresh tears that had nothing to do with the great sex they had just had. Once more, she wrapped her arms around him, holding him as tight as she could. “Don’t leave me,” she whispered. “Everybody I care about leaves me.”

  Kane tightened his arms around her, resting his head on her shoulder. “Never. You’re stuck with me for life, princess. That’s a promise.”

bsp; “Now, aren’t you glad I made you go find her?”

  Kane smiled. “Yes, Sasha, I’m glad you made me go find her.

  Now can we go home,” he said against Jada’s shoulder.” Sasha is busting a gut to see you again. She’s been taking pictures like you wouldn’t believe.”

  Jada laughed against his shoulder, sniffed again, and sat back.

  Just having her in his arms again made him a walking hard-on.

  “Later.” She smiled. “I’m not done with you yet.”

  He glanced at the clock next to the bed. “Well we only have about fifteen minutes before Drake picks us up.” She moved, or more like grinded herself on him. That had him raising one eyebrow at her.

  “I’ll call him.”

  She smiled, cupped his face, and brought her lips very close, nodding. “You do that.” She kissed him, teasing her tongue on his lips. “I have a few positions of my own I want to try right now.”

  Kane growled, kissed her deep, and slid his arms under her legs, picking them up. “So do I.”

  Epilogue

  It was her third Christmas, but Sasha still felt like a little girl. She was so excited she felt like she was going to bust any second waiting to get to the packages under the tree. Kane and Drake went out the week before to get the perfect tree. Like the past, they tended to argue some about what one was the best.

  Carrick took her shopping, and Cole went to Celine’s family for the holiday. He told her that when Chase decided to get home, he was going to have a big holiday party at his place, just like Carrick and Drake put on here. The day after Christmas, they went to the house and had another Christmas with Stefan and Dedrick’s family. It was the best! Now she was dying for everyone to get up so she could see what was under the tree!

  Drake told her on their first Christmas, when she got up at four in the morning, that it was something young kids did. He and his brother always got up early and snooped under the tree, and like always their mother caught them. He told them stories of growing up and what each holiday was like. She thought it was something of a dream, until he started doing all of those things for them. Not being able to stand it any longer, she left her room to go down to Drake’s and wake him up.

  “About time you got up!” She stopped at the top of the stairs.

  Drake was smiling up at her. “We’ve been waiting for you.”

  Everyone was already there. Sasha couldn’t stop the childish smile that spread across her face as she bounced down the stairs. She jumped into Kane’s arms first. He kissed and hugged her, and then she went to Drake who also hugged her tightly.

  “Merry Christmas,” he said into her hair. “Now let’s get this party started!” He slapped his hands together and everyone sat down.

  Sasha went right to the floor, next to the tree. Carrick began to hand out the presents and Sasha didn’t hesitate ripping them open.

  She got clothes, music, and a stereo to play it, and many books. Drake knelt down next to her and handed her a strange long box.

  “Okay I know you are pretty old for this, but every girl in our family has to have one of these. It’s a must.” Drake said.

  “The only other girl in the family is Celine,” Carrick stated.

  “Yep, and I still send her one, too,” Drake said to her.

  Sasha frowned and ripped into the paper. Inside the box was a porcelain doll with long blond hair, big blue eyes and dressed in a white lace gown.

  “She’s beautiful,” Sasha breathed out.

  “I saw her when I was getting Celine hers,” Drake stated. “She reminded me of you.”

  Sasha turned and wrapped her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly. “Thank you.”

  “Okay, I’m not cleaning up this mess,” Jada said, breaking the silence.

  Sasha looked over at Kane and the two of them tossed tons of paper at Jada. She laughed.

  “Hey, we forgot one,” Kane said. He brought out a small box wrapped in shinny pink paper. “Has Sasha’s name on it.”

  “Who’s it from?” Carrick asked.

  “Don’t know.” Kane shook his head. “No name on it.”

  He handed it to Sasha. She opened it up to a black velvet box.

  Inside the box was a gold, open heart necklace with a solid heart diamond in the middle of it and a note. Two hearts beating as one, Always! C.

  Sasha held the necklace up for everyone to see. “It’s beautiful,” she whispered. There was something about it that held her attention. It made her feel safe, and she didn’t understand why.

  “Why don’t you like it?” she asked Kane.

  Kane was staring at Drake when she spoke. He blinked a few times at her. “In my head again.”

  “Sorry.” She felt her face heat up. Sasha held the heart in her hand, touching it with her fingers. “But why don’t you like it? It’s very pretty.”

  “Kane’s just being an over protective brother,” Drake said. He took the necklace from her hand and put it around her neck.

  “I need a leash,” Jada snorted.

  Sasha smiled when Kane threw a rolled up paper at her again.

  “Come on you two,” Carrick sighed. “Let’s get the food going before Drake starts whining about how he’s starving.”

  Sasha looked down at the heart resting on her chest. Drake stayed with her, kneeling down in front of her. She could hear whispers only from Drake, but always had a hard time understanding them.

  “Someone like you is going to want me,” she said. “Right?”

  “What do you mean?”

  She looked up and frowned. “Someone is going to claim me as their mate one day. That’s what Kane doesn’t like.”

  “Yes.”

  “Is it really that bad?” She couldn’t stop the fear from gripping her or her voice from shaking with the question.

  Drake reached out and touched her check. “It’s not that bad, but we can be frightening at times, when the need becomes too strong.”

  “What need?” she whispered, holding her breath.

  “The need to be with our mate.” He smiled. “But hey, don’t think about that now.” He smiled, stood up, and helped her up as well. “It’s Christmas. There is a shitload of cookies in there and if we don’t get our butts in the kitchen,” he put his arm around her, giving her a squeeze, “then your brother is going to eat them all.”

  “How many of these do we have to save for Cole and them?”

  Kane asked with a mouth full and more in his hands.

  Sasha giggled, resting her head on Drake. “I think I’m going to have to bake more,” she whispered.

  “I think you’re right.” Drake whispered back.

  * * * *

  “Are you sure you won’t change your mind?” Celine asked Chase for about the fifth time on the phone.

  He called to let the family know he wasn’t going to make it for Christmas after all. He wasn’t ready yet to face the family or her. It wasn’t time. It killed him to have to hold out for another year, maybe even two. He made a deal with Drake that he wouldn’t stay away for another three years. Cole guilted him into calling once a week. If they all knew where he was now, they would be kicking his ass.

  Chase stood in the woods, a nice distance away from Drake’s house so that Sasha wouldn’t pick him up. She could hear thoughts and see into their minds, not good, if you wanted to be sneaky, which he did. But he wanted to see her. Needed to see her face as she opened the gift he left for her. And it was magical. Her face lit up like the lights on the tree.

  “No, I can’t Celine,” he sighed into the phone. “I just wanted to tell you and wish you all a Merry Christmas.”

  “Cole’s going to be so disappointed. He was really hoping you’d be home this time.”

  “Maybe next year.” He turned away from the scene and got back into his truck. “I’ve got to go, Celine. Tell Cole I’ll call him later tonight.”

  “Chase—”

  He hung up, cutting her off. Feeling the dread of leaving again, Chase
started his truck, put it in park, and drove away. How long he was going to stay away this time, he didn’t know. He only hoped that it wasn’t much longer.

  He was dying inside.

  Dying for her.

  The End, for now.
