The Alphas Claim Their Mate [The Wolfen 1] (Siren Publishing Menage Everlasting)

by Marla Monroe

  They can go hump themselves. I refuse to apologize for who I am, or what I do for a living. I pay taxes and follow the rules.

  Well, maybe she bent them a bit, but not enough to break them.

  Just what did Shade and Cain do for a living? Where they real-estate moguls who made their fortunes by buying and selling other people’s misfortunes? Did they snatch up foreclosed property and sell it to the highest bidder?

  Disgusted with allowing the opinions of two men she didn’t know to matter to her, Kay decided to slip on her tallest heels and spend more time out on the floor and in the bar. They needed to portray a safe environment to soothe any nervous feathers. She needed to find the strength to put the handsome strangers out of her mind, but her wet underwear wasn’t going to let her. Changing them would do little good since they’d be in the same shape as the others inside of a minute.

  Kay strode into the bar and allowed her ass to sway with each step. Showtime!

  Chapter Three

  Saturday night proved to be a test of her nerves. She was looking forward to the next day when she could get away for a few hours. They’d had a senator show up, complete with two highway patrolmen as his guards. If that wasn’t an awkward situation, she didn’t know what was. At least with the senator’s involvement, she was fairly sure nothing would come of their presence. It wouldn’t go well for their careers to close the establishment their boss liked to frequent.

  “Kay. Sorry to bother you, but the gentleman with Andrea doesn’t want to pay until he gets ready to leave,” Erik told her. He was one of Dax’s new security guards.

  “I’ll take care of it. Where is he?” she asked.

  “In the bar at the back table with Andrea.” He started to follow.

  “You can continue to circle the area. I can handle this on my own.”

  “I’d rather go with you. Something about him rings wrong to me,” he said.

  She frowned. “Do you think he is a cop? Vice?”

  “I’m not sure, but he’s playing too close to the lines. That makes me nervous,” Erik told her.

  “Fine, but stay a few feet back so as not to change his plans.”

  At the other man’s nod, Kay strode into the bar and slowly made her way to the man’s table while greeting customers along the way. Once she’d reached her problem, Kay smiled and held out her hand.

  “I don’t believe I’ve had the pleasure of meeting you. I’m Kay,” she said, adding a slight purr to her voice.

  Andrea looked a little put out but didn’t appear uncomfortable in the man’s presence. It made Kay relax marginally. The woman was good at picking up on iffy situations when it came to the men who walked through Creature Comforts’ doors. Still, Kay could read where Erik was coming from.

  “I’m Anthony.” He rose from the table and took her hand. For the third time in her life, a man kissed the back of her hand.

  Unlike the two men who’d picked up Tommy, though, this one didn’t sniff her wrist first. What was up with the formal greetings lately?

  “It is indeed a pleasure to meet you. Please join us,” he said.

  His jet-black hair set off the otherworldly paleness of his skin. She’d say it was almost translucent, but she couldn’t see his veins beneath the opulent skin. He was almost pretty with the curly black hair that he had lightly pulled back at the nape of his neck. He wore an expensive white dress shirt and what she assumed were gold cufflinks.

  “Thank you,” she sat down. “I understand you don’t wish to pay for your companion tonight until you leave. It’s customary to get the business part of the evening out of the way. Then you can enjoy the rest of your time with nothing to stop you once you are ready to leave.”

  “Ah, but how do I know I will be satisfied with my evening? I might not enjoy it at all,” he said with an engaging smile. She nearly got caught in his mesmerizing stare.

  “If you are not happy with your time with us, please just find me and I will be more than happy to refund your money.” She smiled to take some of the sting from her words.

  “And what of you, my lovely? Will you join us as I explore your establishment?” he asked, his words almost hypnotic in the cadence.

  “Thank you for the offer, but I have many duties to attend to. If you’ll just finish the transaction with Andrea, you are free to continue to the show or remain in the bar. Your prerogative,” she said.

  “Of course.” He bowed his head just the slightest before turning to Andrea. “If you would be so kind as to allow me to enter my code now.”

  Kay stood up and left them to continue. She slowly made her way back to her office with Erik at her side. “Have them watched for me, please. You’re very intuitive. I don’t trust him either. I’m not feeling a sting, but there is something going on.”

  “I’ll see to it,” Erik told her.

  Hours later Kay started closing down for the day. Erik had reported that as far as he could tell, all had gone well. He said he’d sent one of the others in the security team home with Andrea to be sure she made it home safely. Nothing unforeseen had occurred with their unusual guest, thank goodness, but Kay was glad that Erik had taken the initiative to see to Andrea’s safety.

  “Good idea. Thank you.”

  “All of the rooms have been checked as well as the common areas. No one is left other than a few of the ladies who are getting ready to leave. Oh, Carmen wanted to stay the night. She said her head was hurting too badly to drive,” he told her.

  “That’s fine. Did she take something, or do I need to make sure she does?”

  “Dax told me he’d gotten her a bottled water to take something, so she should be okay. We’re ready to go now if you’re ready to lock up and set the alarm behind us.”

  “That’s fine.” She followed Erik to the back employee entrance and nodded at Dax. “Thank you for a safe night, guys. See you Monday. I’m going to take a day away tomorrow and relax. You should do the same.”

  “I bet it will do you a world of good,” Dax said with a smile. “Where are you planning to go?”

  “I’m going shopping in Springfield. Mostly I plan to get some fresh air and have an elaborate lunch.” She smiled, looking forward to getting in bed so she could wake up the next day.

  “Have a good time. We’ll see you Monday night,” Erik said.

  She quickly locked up and set the alarm before hurrying to her apartment above. It was another perk of her job. She didn’t have to pay rent or drive home each morning. Once inside, Kay hurried through her routine to slip between the covers and will herself to sleep.

  * * * *

  Kay found herself walking through the Mark Twain National Forest with no recollection of how she’d gotten there. She didn’t take hikes, and walking on the soft ground thick with pine needles and decaying leaves wasn’t easy in three-inch heels. The deeper she strolled, the darker it grew. She didn’t notice a feeling of impending doom, but she did have an air of expectancy, almost anticipation.

  Suddenly she found herself at a cabin that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. Of their own accord, her feet led her to the door. She reached out to open it against her better judgment, but the door swung open before she touched the knob.

  I know I’m dreaming. This is nothing like me. I don’t dream of woods or cabins. I dream about pretty dresses and decadent deserts. What’s going on?

  Kay walked inside the cabin, and standing before her were Shade and Cain. They seemed to have been waiting on her as if they’d known she would show up.

  “We knew you would come. It’s how our kind prepare our mates,” Shade said.

  “Your kind? Mates? This is weird even for a dream,” she mumbled. “What do you mean? Prepare them for what, and what does that have to do with me?”

  “Prepare them for becoming our mate. You, Kay, are to become our mate,” Cain said with no sign that he was happy about it.

  “What? What if I don’t want to be your mate or whatever? You can’t make me,” she said, trying to turn ar
ound.

  “You will. Already your body knows us. I can smell the sweet bouquet of your arousal from here,” Shade said.

  Kay squeezed her legs together, completely ashamed that he knew she was wetter than a flower garden after a spring rain. She did want them, and that scared her more than anything. It was as if she had no control over her body anymore. She couldn’t even make it turn toward the door and race outside.

  “Easy, Kay. We won’t hurt you. All we want to do is make you feel good,” Cain told her.

  “It’s okay, darling. Shade and I would never hurt you. Let us make you feel good.” Cain cupped her face between the palms of his hand. She felt the heat of Shade at her back then the weight of his hands on her hips.

  Kay closed her eyes. It felt so good to be touched the way Cain touched her. Despite it all being a dream, she was beginning to enjoy what they were doing to her, beginning to want what they offered.

  “So luscious and round,” Shade said under his breath as if he wasn’t meaning to speak out loud.

  “Her breasts are a dream come true. I can’t wait to make a meal of them,” Cain told the other man.

  “Let’s get her clothes off her. I want to taste what I’ve been smelling,” Shade said with a low growl. “It’s torturing me.”

  Cain leaned closer and licked her lips before nibbling a path along her jaw to her neck. By the time he’d made it to her earlobe, she’d somehow lost her clothes and was standing naked between the two men. She relaxed. She would never be this calm if she’d been nude between two men. She’d never been one to feel comfortable without clothes on.

  “So soft and delicate. Look, Shade. She has freckles along the tops of her shoulders. I want to count each one as I lick it with my tongue,” Cain said, breathing across them.

  “All in good time, Cain. First we have to win her. Then we can explore every inch of her body. I have great plans for these plump hips and thighs.”

  Their words pulled low moans from her mouth as Cain resumed nipping and licking across her shoulder then back to make his way up her neck and across her cheek to the other side. A shiver took her by surprise. When Cain returned to her lips, she nearly whimpered as his mouth took hers with a practiced ease that spoke of vast experience. That bothered her for some reason. The knowledge that he’d kissed many women before her had the jealousy bitch rising to the surface. It took all of Kay’s determination to squelch her back down where she belonged. She refused to make a fool of herself with someone who’d been a man whore in the past.

  Even as Cain’s lips sipped at hers, she found her mouth opening under his, and his tongue immediately took possession, turning her mouth into a battleground for their dueling tongues. To deny that she was enjoying it was beneath her. As much as she hated to admit it, Kay liked how he made her feel. She felt alive for the first time in a long time.

  Shade, at her back, ran his hands up and down her sides, then squeezed her hips. She realized that he was no longer wearing clothes when the hard ridge of his dick pressed against her lower back. Something fluttered deep inside her cunt, sending out streams of pleasure she wasn’t ready for.

  “That’s it, Cain. Her scent is so strong now I’m barely able to tear her away and mount her right here on the fucking floor,” Shade snarled.

  It should have frightened her, but it didn’t. Instead, she seemed to revel in the fact that she commanded such lust that a man might lose control. It was something any hot-blooded woman would be proud to hear.

  Before she knew what to expect, Cain had lifted her in his arms and was carrying her toward a massive bed that looked a lot like the one in their party room at the club. It was used for ménages and the orgies that occasionally occurred. She forgot all about fussing at Cain that he would hurt himself for picking her up. Instead, she fought against the pull seeing that bed had on her. She wanted to climb all over it and feel the press of hot bodies.

  Not just any bodies but Cain and Shade’s. What was happening to her? She immediately crawled over to the middle of the bed when Cain laid her down on the covers. She rolled over and over, rubbing herself on the soft coverlet. Then she got to her hands and knees and presented the two men with her ass, uplifted with a dripping pussy.

  Mortified deep inside where her sane self had retreated to, Kay struggled to hold back the moan that filled her head.

  “Fuck, she’s perfect. Shade, hurry, man.” Cain sounded almost desperate as Shade climbed up on the bed and crawled toward her.

  Kay somehow knew that if Shade fucked her, something would change. She wasn’t sure what and at that point, part of her didn’t care. All she knew was that they were important to her somehow and if they had sex in her dream, she’d eventually fall for them.

  Shade reached her and positioned himself behind her. He ran his tongue up her spine, leaving a wet trail that chilled in the cooler air. One of his hands grasped her hip while the other slid beneath her to run a single finger between her folds to locate her clit.

  Dear Lord, if he managed to play with the hard nub she’d be lost. But despite how hard she squirmed, Shade found the swollen bit of flesh and stroked it. All bets were off now. Kay thrust her hips back and up, giving Shade even better access.

  His hand returned to the other hip, then a finger traced its way down the crack of her ass to the weeping slit. He slipped one finger inside and quickly added a second one.

  “She’s fucking sloppy wet, Cain. She’s going to feel amazing,” Shade told the other man.

  Shade thrust his two fingers deep into her pussy. He moved them around until he located the spongy area that she knew was her sweet spot. The man had found her G-spot and proceeded to stimulate her until she screamed out in pleasure as a massive orgasm shot through her body. Before she’d recovered, Shade plunged his long hard cock into her pussy and sent another wave of pleasure rushing through her body.

  Over and over the big man plunged inside of her. When Kay looked over to where Cain was standing, it was to find that he was just as naked and was slowly pumping his own dick while watching them. It should have bothered her, but for some reason it only made her hotter.

  Shade fucked her hard, showing no mercy, and Kay didn’t want him to. The harder he filled her and the tighter he held her already bruised hips, the closer she got to yet another orgasm. Her own words came back to haunt her. When had anything ever made sense in this world?

  “Holy hell! I can’t believe how tight she is. I’d never have believed it. She’s squeezing the cum out of me,” Shade yelled. “Be ready, Cain. I can’t hang on much longer.”

  “She has to climax first, Shade. You’ve got to hold off.”

  “I’m doing my best,” the other man snarled.

  Kay struggled to reach whatever end was in store for her. It felt as if she were rushing up a long hall with no idea what lay at the other end. Then she was screaming as a second orgasm tore through her. Her entire body clamped down with the force of it. She was barely aware that Shade shouted as his own climax shuddered through him.

  A part of Shade’s cock seemed to swell inside of her so that he was lodged deep and unable to move.

  Something hot and sticky covered her back and big hands rubbed it all over her and into her skin. Had Cain jacked off and come on her back? What the hell was that all about?

  It didn’t matter. It was just a dream. What else could it have been?

  “I think she emptied everything inside of me,” Shade said in a raspy voice. “I’ve never come that hard in my life.”

  “Me either,” Shade agreed. “It’s done now. We’ve set it in motion. She’s ours.”

  “Yes. She’s ours, for better or for worse.” Shade’s dick seemed to shrink and slip from her body. He leaned forward and bit her ass cheek, and Kay sat up straight in the bed wide awake. Her entire body ached, and she could feel a sticky liquid leaking from her pussy.

  “Holy hell. Where had that come from? She barely knew the two men in her dream, but she’d enjoyed everything they’d done
to her. Kay quickly climbed out of bed and jumped into the shower.

  When she emerged, clean but shaking, she noticed it was already a little after ten in the morning. She might as well stay up and get dressed to get an early start on her trip to Springfield. She needed it now more than ever. Now was the perfect time to get away and fill her head with other things, like frilly dresses and killer heels. She did not have wild monkey sex, um, doggie sex with Cain and Shade. She’d been working this job way too long. Maybe she needed to take her chances doing something else for a change.

  Chapter Four

  “Springfield?” Cain asked when Erik finished giving him a rundown of the previous night.

  “That’s what she said.”

  “I want to know more about the vampire,” Shade said. “It sounds like he only wanted to see her before he paid. I don’t like that a bloodsucker might be interested in her for some reason.”

  “It’s probably a coincidence,” Shade said. “I didn’t pick up on anything different about her when we met the other night.”

  “Why is she so important to you?” Erik asked, eyeing them with obvious curiosity.

  “That is not important right now. What is important is to find out why the vampire was there in the first place. They don’t need to frequent a brothel when all they have to do is trap a female they are interested in with their gaze. Something isn’t right,” Shade insisted. His instincts said that there was something important brewing.

  “I’ll nose around and see what I can find out. The vamps are a secretive lot though. It will be hard to learn anything if it has to come from them.” Erik waited until Shade nodded that he could go.
