ROMANCE: Mr. Mystery: (New Adult Bad Boy Romance) (Contemporary Mystery Short Stories)

by Viva Fox

  “Because I’m the lesser of the two evils. Stanton will kill you.” He said in a tense voice as he made his way off the bed. He left the room, leaving Valery stunned, not having any idea of what she should do. As she looked around, she tried to sit up again. The sharp pain radiated through her side once more, but even worse, was the pain that shot through her leg.

  As she lifted the covers, she saw her leg swollen and bruised. It seemed stuck at a horrible angle. Something was definitely wrong. As she looked at it, she remembered the wolf who had pounced on her leg, snapping it under the weight of his body. She shuddered, remembering the pain that had flooded her system at that moment. She laid back and closed her eyes as if she could make all of this go away.

  Doing so, she didn’t notice Elliot come back into the room with a first aid kit. His eyes examined her body for a moment before they grew wide in shock when he saw her leg. He hadn’t noticed it last night and it was now in a severe condition. He walked up to her quickly, gently running his fingers over the tender flesh.

  The pressure of his fingers on her skin was enough to make her eyes shoot open. She whimpered in pain as she felt him propping her leg. “Stop!” She yelled at him, ripping his hand away. He stopped and looked back at her with a serious expression.

  “Do you want to lose your leg or walk with a limp for the rest of your life?” His questions were sharp as he stared at her. She gulped, realizing the gravity of the situation. “I really need to bring you to a hospital for this, but they will track you down there… too many spies…” Elliot muttered under his breath as he paced beside the bed, running his fingers through his thick hair. Valery watched him, trying to make sense of his words.

  “What? So you aren’t going to take me to a hospital!?” Valery’s words were almost hysterical as she looked up at the man that had carried her to this unknown place. Was he insane?

  “I can’t!” He shot back, seemingly distressed. Valery tried to get up yet again, only to wince and fall back, gasping as the agony she felt was too much for her to handle. Elliot looked at her instantly, his eyes painted in concern as he moved over to her, naturally placing his hand on her cheek.

  “Don’t touch me!” She snapped, feeling like she was in an impossible predicament. What was she supposed to do now that she was injured and stuck with this werewolf she knew so very little about? She cursed under her breath, regretting the day she had gone out to help him. If she had just called an ambulance or something, this wouldn’t be happening.

  “You need to let me help you.” He said gravely, looking hurt that she had pushed him away. Their eyes locked for a moment and all was silent as the tension in the room grew. Valery didn’t want to give in. She felt like she was betraying Liam by even succumbing to this guy, but at the same time, Stanton was the one who had turned him. Maybe it wasn’t his fault…

  “Why?”

  “Because I can’t bring you back to the city. Stanton and the pack have people in every part of the city from the police, to hospitals, to schools. He runs everything without anyone knowing. So if I just bring you back home, he will have you in his clutches faster than you could say werewolf.” He chuckled bitterly at his own joke before getting up and looking at her leg again. “I have to set this in its proper place… it’s going to hurt.”

  Valery gulped at his words. “H…how much?” She asked softly.

  “A lot. I can try knocking you out if you wish.” Valery stared at him in shock. How was he going to manage that? In that moment, she really didn’t like the idea of him being around her unconscious body. There was no telling what he might do. “Or I can try doing it while you are still awake. Your choice.” He shrugged as he pressed his palms against her leg, feeling for the bone.

  The moment he placed more pressure on her injured leg, she yelped in pain. She closed her eyes and bared her teeth in an attempt to deal with it. “Okay… knock me out…” She said breathlessly, her eyes still shut. Elliot moved to her side slowly before placing his fingers under her chin, waiting for her to open her eyes.

  “Are you sure?” He asked. She nodded immediately. She knew she wouldn’t be able to handle the procedure while conscious.

  “Yes… but how are you going to do it?” She asked, a little scared. She wondered if the process of passing out would actually be more painful.

  “Pressure points.” He took one more look at her beautiful face before his fingers jabbed into her neck. Her whole body went limp and she was left unconscious on the bed. Elliot sighed before running his hands through his hair again and moving back over to her leg. Taking it in his hands once more, he held it firmly. He would have to re-break it in order to properly set it.

  Taking a deep breath he flexed his arms, allowing his superior werewolf strength to come into play as he snapped her leg, the audible sound of her broken bone making him shiver. Knowing he shouldn’t waste any time, he placed the bone in its proper position before placing splints on either side of her leg to keep it immobilized. He then worked on wrapping it tightly, creating a makeshift cast with the supplies he had.

  He then left her, going back to the bathroom and rummaging through the medicine cabinet for some pain killers. When he finally found some, he brought them back to the bedroom along with a glass of water. He placed them on the nightstand and then sat down in a chair in the corner of the room. All he could do now was wait and hope that she recovered from all of her injuries.

  Eventually, Valery healed very well. Through Elliot’s care, she was able to make a full recovery in three months’ time. She was finally able to walk around without her crutches and seemed to be doing better day by day. During her time of recovery, Elliot was forced to take care of her. In the process, they ended up growing very close. The hostility that had settled between them at the beginning of their relationship melted away when she realized she had no other option but to depend on him.

  Throughout her recovery process, however, they both kept their distance. It was apparent that they were developing feelings for each other, but at the same time, they didn’t want to put themselves in a vulnerable position. So they spent three months in awkward chastity, but now as Valery was walking around the small building with her hips swaying side to side and her long strawberry blonde hair making its way down her back down to her tempting ass, it was becoming harder for Elliot to control himself.

  It was hard enough keeping his urges suppressed when they shared a bed together, but it was even harder now as her body language teased him in every way possible. He just wanted to slam her against a wall and ravish her, but with all of her injuries he had been afraid to do such a thing. Now that she was feeling better, however, there was nothing stopping him from having his way with her.

  He knew deep down, that she wanted it too. He could feel it in his very soul, but at the same time, something held him back. He didn’t want to admit it, but he was afraid. He was scared of hurting her, of losing her if he managed to lose control. He shuddered to think of what would happen if his wolf emerged while they were getting intimate. He didn’t even want to think about it.

  He focused his eyes instead on Valery, currently making dinner for them. She really enjoyed cooking. He stood in the doorway, admiring her for a moment before Nala rubbed up against his legs. For whatever reason, the cat really liked him. He sighed and looked down before scratching her head gently. She purred loudly in return, grabbing Valery’s attention. Elliot blushed when he noticed her turn around and stare at him.

  “What are you doing?” She asked. He should have been out in the woods, training. It was unlike him to be back in the house before the sun came down and they ate dinner together. She tilted her head in his direction, waiting for an answer before she placed her hands on her hips, stepping forward. Elliot had to summon all his willpower in order to control himself, as his eyes fell on the curves of her hips.

  He wanted nothing more than to place his hands on her hips and pull her in close, to feel her body pressed up against his.
The thought made his heart sputter in his chest and his cheeks reddened as she got even closer. He caught her scent and his body went into a frenzy of excitement as his wolf howled inside of him. He needed her. He wanted her. And yet, he couldn’t bring himself to have her.

  “Elliot…?” The sound of his name on her lips was too much for him to handle. He took a step forward and grabbed her chin gently before tilting it upwards. Leaning down, he kissed her ever so softly, letting his emotions spill out into her soul until it made her weak in the knees. He could feel her crumble against him and he quickly wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer.

  His hands settled on the small of her back as he pressed their hips together until there was no gap between them. He grinned, catching her eyes as his own flashed a shade darker. He knew his instincts were about to take control and there was nothing he could do to stop it. All of a sudden, he picked her up, his fingers digging into her supple ass.

  Valery naturally wrapped her arms and legs around him as if she expected it. She felt a fire rage within her that settled between her thighs. She had also tried to fight the urge for so long, but now knew she wouldn’t be able to hold back anymore. There was simply something about this man that made her feel so hot.

  She wrapped her arms around him a little tighter as her fingers began to play with his hair, a little dirty from his time spent outside, but in this moment, she didn’t care. She was consumed by the need for him like there was something inside of her that would never be complete without him. With this need to fulfill the missing link, she leaned down and kissed his neck ever so softly. A small growl emerged from his throat, making her giggle. His arms tightened around her, pulling her even closer before he suddenly slammed her into the wall, a devilish look on his face.

  Chapter 8

  Valery gasped as she looked up at him, her back pressed against the wall. Her eyes went large as she imagined what would happen next. Her heart was thudding in her chest and her mind reeled with the countless possibilities. She bit her lip in anticipation before he suddenly pressed his lips to hers, kissing her hard.

  The kiss was rough and passionate, sending a fire through her body as she succumbed to him. She moaned out softly into the kiss as his hands groped her breasts, his fingers pressing into them until she was almost sure that he would leave bruises. She arched her back, her legs tightening even further around his waist. He grinned before slamming her down on the kitchen table. He quickly yanked off his belt before wrapping it tightly around her wrists and pulling them above her head.

  “Elliot… what…” She was about to inquire, but he just kissed her again. By the way her body was reacting to his, he knew she was enjoying herself. With one hand keeping her hands above her head, he used his other one to pull down her pants before he leaned down and bit her panties, tugging them down ever so slowly. She groaned as he continued to tease her further.

  “Elliot… don’t… please… I need you.” The words finally made their way out of her lips. She was finally admitting that she had fallen for him, that there was this inexplicable need inside of her which she couldn’t satisfy any other way.

  “Beg.” He growled in her ear, as his lips moved up to her neck, brushing against her flesh. He could feel the blood rush through her veins as her heart worked frantically in her excited state. She moaned ever so softly and found herself submitting to him.

  “Don’t… I want you too much…” Her words came out in a breathless rush. She wanted to tell him exactly what she wanted, but the words refused to come out of her mouth. She just lifted up her hips, spreading her legs ever so slightly, exposing her now bare pussy. He grinned looking down and suddenly two of his fingers thrusted into her wetness. He could feel how slick she was as her pussy threatened to suck his fingers even deeper within her.

  “Mmm… someone wants me.” He teased, his fingers hooking inside of her, searching for her sweet spots. He was rough with her as he continued to ram his fingers into her quivering pussy before he added one more. As he did so, his wolf was dying for release inside of him. He quickly pulled away from her and took his pants and boxers off, exposing his large member, now engorged in excitement.

  His hand wrapped around it for a moment, squeezing the tip between his fingers, rubbing it with his thumb for his own pleasure as he moaned out. He wanted to ram into her and make her scream out his name, but as they locked eyes he hesitated. Did she really want this? He didn’t want to force her into anything. He knew how much she had loved Liam and how much pain he had caused her, but on the other hand, during their time together they had grown closer and closer.

  As he stood there, he contemplated his next move. Before he could back out, however, she sat up and wrapped her legs around him, her ass on the edge of the kitchen table. Her arms were around his neck and her hands rested on the nape of his for a moment before she pulled him even closer, their lips pressing together as hers parted for a moment.

  Her tongue snuck into his mouth, finding his as they tangled together. Taking this moment of distraction as an advantage, she grabbed hold of his throbbing member in her hand, giving it a firm squeeze. He grunted in response, howling out at the sudden pain, but as she started to move her hand up and down his shaft, he smirked and moved his hands forward on her hips. He was impressed that she was able to jerk him off, even with her hands bound together at the wrists with his belt.

  But he was about to take control again. Grabbing the part of his belt that hung from her wrists, he grabbed it and yanked her hands away, pulling them back until she was forced to lay down once more, her hands trapped above her head. “You’re mine.” He hissed before his free hand tugged at her hip and he suddenly thrusted into her.

  He rammed himself into her as deep as he could, his balls nestled against her warm flesh while his dick was caressed by the slick walls of her body. He could feel how hot she was as he didn’t move for a second, his body enjoying the sensation of her tightness around him. She moaned out and squirmed, trying to get the freedom of her hands back.

  His hand held hers firmly, loving the control he now had over her as she was helpless to resist him. He started to pump his member in and out of her, eliciting sweet moans from between her lips each time he hit against her cervix. She shivered and clenched her hands into fists, incapable of anything else.

  She tried to grind her hips into his, adding to the pleasure that they now felt. Her legs tightened around him and her back arched with the pleasure of the situation while he ventured even further inside of her. She screamed out for more and more, letting the whole forest know what they were doing, but at this very moment neither one of them cared about detection. All they could think about was making each other feel good.

  As Elliot felt her pussy quiver, he suddenly stopped. She was still fully impaled on his dick, but he didn’t move. He just looked down at her and grinned at the look on her face, begging for more. He smirked before pulling out of her completely. “Elliot… please… I need to cum…” She begged in desperation. Her pussy was calling out for release and as he pulled out of her, she felt an emptiness inside of her that she could barely handle.

  “Elliot…” She whimpered again, hoping he would have pity on her. He smirked at her reaction before he suddenly flipped her over so she was laying stomach down on the table. Her perky breasts flattened against it and she groaned as her sensitive nubs rubbed up against the rough, wooden material of the table. When her feet touched the ground, he quickly grabbed her legs, spreading them wide open.

  His fingers brushed up against her skin, dancing against her excited clit. It was obvious she wanted more and he knew he couldn’t deny her. With that thought, he moved against her and pressed his dick, now on the edge of exploding, against her slit from behind. He covered it with her juices, grinning at her apparent excitement.

  All of a sudden, he plunged inside of her again before he grabbed a handful of her hair and yanked on it, until her back was arched and her breasts were on full display. His other hand r
eached forward and grabbed one of them into his hand, kneading it painfully as he ground his hips into hers, making her scream out until her voice was hoarse. She shivered and curled her toes as she was suddenly pushed over the edge.

  Waves of white hot pleasure rolled over her body. She sighed, catching her breath as she pressed her cheek on the table, once Elliot finally let go of her hair that’s when he spent his load inside of her. He collapsed on top of her, panting with the effort of their lovemaking. He smirked to himself as he looked down at her. She seemed even more beautiful with the thin layer of sweat that now wrapped around her body.

  He reached forward and brushed her hair out of her face since her hands were still bound together. “Wow…” She whispered to herself. When she had found out that Elliot had killed Liam, she had never once thought that she would fall for him. But now that he had rocked her world, she didn’t regret her decision one bit. If this was wrong, she didn’t want to know what was right.
