A Most Stubborn Mate [Wolf Pack Mates 7] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting)

by Cara Adams

  “Hold her,” he ordered Steve. As soon as the other man was sitting on the bed, Zed climbed off and went to the suitcase. He picked up the flogger and cracked it through the air. It was perfectly balanced, a very useful toy indeed.

  He flicked it again, ensuring he knew how much force to use, then he flogged her ass four times quickly, then four times much slower, before flicking it over her shoulders and upper thighs.

  “Start preparing her ass.”

  Steve picked up the lube and drizzled it on her ass crack. While she was distracted he flogged her shoulders again, a little harder. That should give her something to think about.

  “On your knees, Josie,” he ordered.

  With her hands cuffed she’d have to rest on her forearms, but that shouldn’t be too hard for her.

  Steve was stretching and loosening her tight rear entry. Zed kneeled on the floor on the other side of the bed and used the dildo handle of the flogger to tease her nether lips, running the ridged black handle over her inner and outer labia, then trailing it across her clit. From this angle he could see Steve’s hands working behind her and could time his actions so she should be doubly aroused with the action. Again and again he stroked the handle around and along her slit, then, with no warning, he pushed it into her cunt. She opened and let him in, the handle sliding in easily telling him how very wet and ready she was.

  “Finger fuck her ass and I’ll use the flogger on her cunt,” he told Steve.

  Together they stroked in and out of both her channels, until she was pushing her body down onto them and panting.

  “Would you like to come, Josie?” he asked.

  “Yes.”

  “Beg me.”

  “In your fucking dreams.”

  Steve snorted. Zed held his breath for a moment then laughed. Yeah, this was the woman he loved. A feisty, stubborn piece who knew her own mind.

  Zed gestured for Steve to move back and he flogged her ass hard, three times.

  “Beg me now.”

  “If I wasn’t handcuffed, I could deal with it myself.”

  Zed knew a Mexican stand-off when he was participating in one, so he simply said, “I think that’s enough foreplay. You’ll just be experiencing one fewer orgasm than otherwise. Roll over onto your back.”

  While she did so he got undressed himself, piling his clothes on a chair, then grabbing a condom and rolling it over his engorged dick. Steve saw him and took a condom from the pile on the nightstand, as well.

  He leaned over her and put the handle of the flogger at her lips. “Taste yourself.”

  She stared at him for a long moment, then her tongue licked up and over the handle. She looked a bit thoughtful then nodded. He couldn’t resist. He wanted to know what she tasted like so he bent down and thrust his tongue deep inside her. Thick and creamy.

  “Taste her,” he said to Steve. Steve kneeled on the bed between her legs and lowered his head. Zed couldn’t see what Steve did, but Steve took no longer than he’d taken, so Zed guessed he was abiding by the unspoken rules of sharing her equally. For a moment he was grateful to the human, appreciating his innate sense of fair play, but he refused to think about the other man. It was time to move to claim her again. His woman.

  Zed lay on his back then pulled Josie over him, dropping her cuffed hands over his head so they rested on his shoulders. He held her hips firmly then slid into her pussy. Damn but she was hot, and now that thick, rich cream was bathing his cock. It felt perfect, wonderful, everything he could have imagined and then more.

  He nodded to the human and held Josie’s upper body tightly against him, to enable Steve to penetrate her ass. Before long Josie was wiggling and sighing against him and he knew they’d soon be able to fuck. Which would be good, because it was all he could think of. Having her delightful skin pressed against his like this was killing him. Even with his cock deep inside her he wanted more. He wanted to claim every inch of her wonderful body as well as that naughty, wicked, incredible mind that made her so infuriating but at the same time so truly the person she was. The woman he loved with a deep and abiding passion that was so strong it scared him at times.

  He looked over Josie’s shoulder at Steve. “Ready?”

  Steve gave a sharp nod so he said, “Alternately this time.”

  He began withdrawing and pulled out almost completely, until only the very tip of his dick was still inside her luscious pussy. He held that position for a heartbeat, before beginning to push back inside her. Immediately the human began to withdraw, matching his speed to Zed’s. Zed wanted this to last a very long time, but just like the previous night, he knew none of them could maintain it. The best he could hope for was to drive her crazy with need for them before she released.

  He kept the speed as slow as he possibly could, but he knew he was almost unconsciously quickening the pace. Finally it was almost out of his control and he and Steve were slamming in and out of her. Josie kept trying to wiggle and twist her hips. It was just as well her damn hands were cuffed or she’d have sent him right of the edge of the cliff with her antics.

  He gripped her hips to hold her still, pressed down on them both, and he and Steve jack-hammered into her, thrusting with their full lengths, filling her to the hilt and then emptying her continually in a contrapuntal rhythm which should have been driving her crazy. From her whimpers and moans she was struggling not to succumb but her control was pretty damn good. Either that or else they weren’t as competent as they should have been.

  “Aaaaghhh,” she moaned, and her inner pussy muscles gripped him and began milking his cock as she poured hot cream over it, her entire body shaking with her release.

  Behind her Steve drove into her again and again, not waiting for Zed now, obviously driven beyond rhythm with the need to come. Zed copied him and began pounding into her again, too, but the contractions of her belly were deadly powerful and after only a few strokes he lost control and poured his cum into the condom. By the time he could open his eyes and look up, Steve had sagged over her back, so he guessed the other man had come as well.

  Gently Zed lifted Josie’s head and kissed her mouth, she responded with a searing kiss that could have revived a dead man and had his cock twitching deep inside her.

  Steve climbed off her and Zed rolled her onto her side, before lifting her cuffed hands from around his neck. “Where’s the key?” he asked.

  “In my wallet.”

  He went and got her purse then helped her sit up She handed him the key and he unlocked the cuffs, then went into the bathroom to deal with the condom. Steve was already getting dressed again. Zed had thought about spending the night together, but really the bed would be most uncomfortable for the three of them, and they had a lot to do before meeting with the Supreme tomorrow.

  “Seven thirty for breakfast again, I suppose,” Josie asked, then yawned.

  “Yes, and we’ll be back to worrying about bugs until we can be sure the SUV is clean.”

  “And we’ll have to watch Gustav every second to be sure he doesn’t plant more on us,” sighed Josie.

  “Why don’t you try to befriend him. Chat him up a little. Distract him from any plans he might have made,” suggested Steve.

  “No!” The last thing he wanted was Josie getting all cozy with Gustav.

  “Actually that’s not such a bad idea.” Josie looked thoughtful.

  “No,” Zed repeated, but looking at the other two, he had a sinking feeling in his gut she wouldn’t listen to him. Dammit! She was such a stubborn woman.

  Chapter Five

  Josie had spent a long time deciding what to wear. Boots, so she could run if she had to, and also if she kicked someone in them, it’d hurt them a hell of a lot more than if she was wearing strappy sandals. If she teamed them with a long skirt and a light sweater, that should be nice enough for a meeting with Supreme and yet functional enough for hours of travel.

  She riffled through her luggage and found the long strap she’d hooked to her purse for the flight
to Vienna. The idea of it traveling was so she had both hands free to deal with her carryon luggage, her boarding pass, and her coat, but today it would mean she didn’t need to put her purse down anywhere anyone could touch it. Of course someone could still drop a little bug inside it, but if she was wearing it across her chest, that would make it a little harder for them.

  Fuck it! What was wrong with these people? Why didn’t they discipline their staff? Even if the woman on the reception desk was the Alpha’s daughter, someone should have been able to explain to her how important pack security was. The same with digitizing their files. They needed to know that information. Knowledge was power and they were willfully throwing it way because of lack of being able to access it. Was Gustav trying to control the pack? Micromanaging everything out of existence? Why didn’t the Supreme stop him? He was by no means dead yet. He still had plenty of brain power even if his body was failing him.

  In the elevator Steve had silently shown her and Zed he was carrying the bug detector in his pocket. Josie wondered if he planned to use it in the Supreme’s office. Surely not. That would just alert Gustav that they had deliberately gotten rid of his bugs.

  When Gustav showed them all in to the Supreme’s office, the Supreme said, “Thank you, Gustav. I know you’re very busy right now. I’ll be fine alone with these people. My English is not too bad.”

  “Your English is excellent,” said Zed.

  “My work is not that important. It’s better I stay to help you,” Gustav replied.

  “No, go. I’ll be all right.”

  Josie thought Gustav didn’t look at all pleased about not staying for the meeting today, but there wasn’t much he could say to oppose a direct order from his Alpha. Josie also noticed Steve silently moving around the office. He appeared to be looking at the books on the bookshelves and the paintings on the wall, but she was certain he was checking for electronic listening devices.

  The Supreme waved them to chairs then turned his wheelchair around. “Oh, look, the sun has come out. Josie, will you put my little Edelweiss and the two Alpine roses out on the window ledge in the sun, please?”

  “Of course.” She picked up the tiny pot plant from his desk and took it across to the window ledge then returned for the two larger pots holding the Alpine roses.

  “Open the window and let them be in the sunshine, then close the window again so I don’t catch a chill. My health is not as strong as I would wish.”

  Josie looked at him. She was almost certain he hadn’t gone crazy so there was a reason for this. Surely his own office wasn’t bugged? Steve jumped up and opened the window for her as she did as requested. She noticed the little gadget in one of his hands. She put the plants outside the room, on the wide brick ledge, then began to close the window. Steve brushed past her and helped her but she noticed him place a very small black circle on the window ledge beside the pots.

  Where did he get that from? He’d been bending down. Was it under one of the chairs?

  “Now, Zedekiah, tell me what you learned from searching the files yesterday.”

  Josie watched as Zed lifted an eyebrow to Steve and Steve nodded. At least the big bad wolf was prepared to pay attention to the clever human regarding their safety. And they’d cooperated completely in fucking her twice now. Maybe after a few more weeks Zed’d be reconciled to the three of them mating as a triad.

  Zed listed the things the three of them had discussed, but didn’t say anything about the pictures. They’d already told their own Alpha about them though, and once they were well away from Vienna he was going to tell the Supreme. They’d also warned their Alpha to ensure he spoke to the man himself, not any of his staff. The Alpha had wanted more details about that and Josie had promised to explain more fully later.

  Josie listened intently to the conversation. The Supreme appeared to be totally in command and well informed. It was easy to see that he’d once been a very powerful and intelligent leader. It was a real pity the successor he said was to take over from him wasn’t there already helping him. Josie supposed he’d always hoped his son would succeed him, or even his daughter, but one only had to look at the rulers of Europe in history to understand that system didn’t necessarily work too well.

  She’d kept her purse hanging across her body ever since they’d gotten out of the car, and now she withdrew her notebook, scribbling down a few things she wanted to be sure to tell the others. Finally the Supreme said, “I approve of the way you three blend your talents and work together. One of the things poor Gustav intensely dislikes is my decision that wolves can mate across species of they wish. But with so few females it’s the only logical solution. There’s a growing body of evidence that after a few generations of human-wolf matings the gender balance is restored. One group in particular insists their male wolves marry female humans and their newest generation is very close to fifty-fifty boys and girls. That’s one reason why it’s imperative you find this pack. But they remain hidden. They will talk only to me in person and have never given me their location or even a particularly good clue as to where they live. I hope you can find them in less than two months.”

  Now that was interesting. So the missing pack was a mixture of wolf and human. That would make it much easier for them to hide their location than if they’d been purely wolves. Which in turn meant it was going to be way harder for the three of them to find the group.

  “When you find them, tell me and only me. If I’m dead, tell your own Alpha and let him deal with it. But I sincerely hope to see you again within two months.” The Alpha stretched out his hand and Zed jumped up to shake hands. Steve stood also, and the Supreme shook his hand then hers.

  “Do you want your plants brought inside again?” Josie asked. She was almost certain they must be bugged but didn’t know how to mention it.

  “I’m sure Gustav will put them back on my desk again soon enough. He must know I’ve guessed their secret but it’s a game we play.”

  “Sir, there was also a bug under Josie’s chair. It’s sitting out on the window ledge right now, too.”

  The Supreme’s penetrating gaze rested on Steve for a long moment. “Was there indeed? Perhaps you’d better put that one back where you found now, as you’re leaving.”

  “Yes, sir.” Steve opened the window, closed it and bent down beside Josie’s chair. He moved the chair and banged it against the floor, as they all walked to the door.

  Yes, that’s a good idea. Gustav would likely guess they’d found the bug, but he might hope it’d just been malfunctioning and started again with the bump.

  They left the headquarters casually, walked to the door by the same young man who’d originally taken them to the Supreme’s office. Zed drove them back to the hotel, then handed the valet parking attendant twenty Euros.

  “We just have to collect our luggage. We’ll be back in less than five minutes. Can the car stay here please?”

  “Yes, sir. Of course, sir.”

  Josie wondered if the man understood their English. Evidently Steve did, too, as he repeated what they’d said in German. The attendant kept nodding and saying yes so perhaps he had understood, or maybe it was just the money he was grateful for.

  Zed led the way to the elevator, not seeming to move particularly fast, but his long-legged stride meant Josie had to hurry to keep up with the two men.

  “I’ll check us all out. Josie, you wait in the foyer if Steve and I aren’t back to load the luggage into the car. I want our exit to happen all together without giving any potential watcher any warning.”

  “I understand.”

  Her suitcase was all packed and ready to go and it only took her a minute to use the bathroom. They might need to drive for a long time trying to lose a tail. She didn’t want to be the one to cause the pursuers to catch them up, because they had to stop so she could take a bathroom break.

  Zed was at reception checking them out when she reached the foyer. She stood a long way back from the glass doors, in case a watcher was looki
ng for them. Steve joined her just moments after she arrived, then Zed grabbed the handle of his roll-on case and headed for the door, glancing at them. Josie and Steve followed him. Within seconds the trunk was popped, Zed had loaded his suitcase, and was opening the driver’s door. Josie placed her case at the rear of the car beside Steve and climbed into the backseat, leaving the navigator’s seat for Steve.

  Thoughtfully she buckled her seatbelt, then withdrew a mirror and her lipstick from her purse. While pretending to touch up her makeup, she used the mirror to look all around them, but could see no one obviously standing around watching, or on their cell phone.

  Feeling like an actor in an old spy film, she slipped the mirror and lipstick back inside her purse as they drove away. Zed was traveling fast but he wasn’t stupid so likely he wasn’t going much faster than the speed limit, but he was changing lanes quite a lot and checking his rearview mirror all the time.

  She could hardly wait until they checked this car for electronic listening devices and could actually talk freely to each other. She had so much she wanted to say about the Supreme and their task.

  * * * *

  Zed was tense, angry, and terrified for Josie’s safety. He’d been traveling around the world—although mostly Europe—as the Ambassador for his own pack and also for the Supreme of North America for a couple of years now, and never, never had anything like this happened before. And the very time it did occur, he was not only handicapped by a fucking human to look after, but also his precious Josie’s safety was endangered. Always in the past, he’d had to be careful to be unendingly polite, and never give the appearance of favoring one pack or district over another, but the most difficult thing had been hiding his boredom and disrespect from arrogant idiots, not having to elude watchers before he could even begin his assigned task.
