Rebuilding the Wolf

by Erin R Flynn

  “You don’t know the half of it,” I purred, giving Brian a loving look. “You really are going to get blue balls soon.”

  “So worth it, babe. So fucking worth it. Do you like that finger inside of you?”

  “Yes,” I moaned as Axel started moving it again, getting to the fun as Brian was pushing for. “I was so damn nervous to try the first time, and now it seems silly I was so scared.”

  “I get it. I mean, it’s not something everyone wants to try.”

  I shot him a heated look when I felt what I was getting from him. “Shit, that’s hot.”

  “Yeah?” he checked, smirking when I nodded. “Then maybe date ten you can try it on me.”

  I moaned, knowing he was teasing me but loving he was so adventurous, that he wanted to explore with me. “Shit, Bri, too much keeps interrupting our dates. Give me date five.”

  “Nope, date ten.”

  “Asshole,” I grumbled without any malice in my voice. The two mountains I was sandwiched between got impatient with my focusing on another man who wasn’t involved and doubled their attentions. I came apart moments later and fed Axel energy, his scent marking me too as Eugene finished.

  “Alright, time to wash because you still have the siren show and Gayle is ready to paint you up,” Brian said when it looked like we were thinking of playing more.

  I nodded, and they actually had to wash me because I was mushy and had fed them a lot of energy. When we were done, I had a chance to recover enough that I strutted over to Brian, completely naked and with water dripping all over me like he loved. I put my hand on his chest and used the other to bring his head down.

  “He eats me out like you do. His tiger tongue sets my nerves on fire, but you drive me insane with how you build every second up like you’re drinking a fine wine instead of tasting me until I can’t stand it anymore and I can’t even tell when my orgasm’s coming, you give me such sensory overload. There is nothing you are lacking. You do things they can’t too.”

  “And if I ever wanted to become like you? Would you want another human then?”

  His question floored me. I’d only gotten his insecurity that he couldn’t do to me what they did. I hadn’t seen that part coming, so I blurted out my answer. “No, it’s you, not about being human. I wouldn’t care if you were a soul sucking demon; I’d still want you and what we have.”

  He chuckled. “Soul sucking demon, huh?”

  “Yeah, but let’s not test that one out.” I yelped as he smacked my ass.

  “Go get painted before you push my patience.”

  I kissed his cheek and went for a couple of towels. “Don’t even think of trying to do that, or there will be one less dire wolf and tiger in my life.”

  “Yes, Alpha,” they grumbled together. Yeah, I just bet they liked the idea of smacking my ass. Brian, Hagan, and Reagan were the only ones who got away with it, or they had before, so I was sort of shocked Brian did it. Then again, I did keep teasing him.

  Such was life. He’d live.

  Gayle did some type of awesome scales on me with a template she’d made and covered me in purple and gold ones with a crazy headdress that wasn’t a dragon head, but more like a half skull with horns. It was seriously trippy, and while not my thing, it was good she was having fun and changing things up. People paid a pretty penny to get into the club, and it was important they got a show, not monotony, as we had a lot of regulars.

  I did my thing, noting Axel and Eugene watching with interest as they stood at the bar, each with a drink. When Dain knelt before me to give me energy, my body was thrumming with power, and even with our baggage, I was seconds from pushing him to the ground and riding him when I saw my bite. He seemed to realize that and was careful how he acted so he didn’t throw fuel on my fire.

  That calmed when the next guy was an asshole and tried to reach between my legs. I shoved him away, careful of my strength but enough that he went sliding across the dance floor. I nodded to Orson who was standing off to the side with security, and he was instantly dragging the human to his feet.

  “You don’t sexually assault a goddess, asshole,” he growled, letting everyone know what the guy had done wrong and it wasn’t part of the show.

  And to not do it either.

  I was able to make it through everyone since it was a slower Sunday night and I was getting stronger, better at doing it. When we reached behind the stage, I couldn’t push myself to stand though, going right back down. Virg picked me up, and I fed him what I had excess of, swallowing down the rest.

  “Thanks,” he murmured as I snuggled up against him after Gayle took the headdress. “Shit, you’re like a kitten.”

  “Purr, purr,” I joked. “Or roar. I’m a dragon, roar.”

  “Yeah, you sound more like rawr for baby kitten right now,” he drawled.

  “You try and do it. It’s like running full speed in your third form for hours all in that time. It’s a rush but exhausting.” My stomach chose that moment to rumble loudly, which was always so attractive.

  “Food’s coming,” Dain informed us, appearing next to me. “I had an idea, as I remember something you said before.”

  “I say a lot,” I murmured, trying to stay awake.

  “Yes, but it was when you fed from Leda.”

  “You are super smart,” I praised, getting what he meant. When I fed from another siren, I could handle a lot, lot more of the power because it was familiar, already transformed into siren energy or whatever. “See if they’re fine with it and can swing it in the morning before the meeting.”

  “They can. I already checked.”

  “Thanks, Dain. I missed you.” I did and not because he was always taking care of me or however it sounded. We worked well together, fit together, and I missed that. That feeling of being a team with someone in that way. Maybe it was silly, but I’d liked it.

  “I missed you too, my love.”

  I dozed off before we even reached the shower. I woke when Virg was almost done, carefully rinsing conditioner out of my hair as he gently held me to him. I kissed his neck to let him know I was awake. Turning so I could hurry the process and wake up a bit more with water spraying in my face, I glanced at him over my shoulder when I was done.

  “Didn’t we get interrupted the other morning, Alpha?”

  “Oh fuck, I was being good, Sera.”

  “Thank you, but I’m fucking wound up after that, so do you want me, Alpha?” I barely got the last word out and he was thrusting into me. I moved my hands to the tiles to brace my weight, begging him for deeper and harder, calling him Alpha over and over again until he couldn’t take it anymore, bringing us both insane amounts of pleasure. My knees gave out, my orgasm was so good, but he caught me and we sank to the floor together.

  “There has to be a record on how many times a guy can cream himself around one woman,” Eugene said from behind us. I glanced over at him, still panting, and shivered when I saw the intense look he was giving me. “You are so fucking sexy it should be a fucking crime.”

  “Brian has handcuffs,” I offered, smiling when there were several chuckles. “God, I get so much fucking action in these showers this should be Sera’s adult fun room instead of the sex room Noah built at the house.”

  “You are not the only one, Sera,” Simone said from a few showers down. “Not even close. All of the sirens are like this after the show except Leda, but she felt us all beneath her.” She chuckled when I snorted. “There is a topic I wish to make sure I’m clear on as we spoke on Michael.”

  Virg carefully pulled out of me and cleaned us up as I nodded to my best friend and business partner to go ahead.

  She licked her lips and glanced back at our audience. “I saw the bite on the tiger. I assume he’s spoken for?”

  “Yeah, sorry, you’re too Alpha for me to be okay with that. He’s got day passes for as many itches as he needs to scratch, but he’s mine and he’s acknowledged it.”

  “And the dire wolf?” She chuckled when I growle
d. “I thought so.”

  “Sorry, not official, but um, my wolf would not be happy.”

  She raised a perfectly manicured eyebrow as she turned off the water and squeezed out her hair. “Not your siren?”

  “Her too.”

  “Your ancients?”

  I sat with that a moment. “I’m fine with it as long as I don’t see it. I don’t think that would be a problem, but I’m having some territorial issues that’s new to me. They’re definitely not spoken for and enjoy their freedom, and I love you, you know that but—”

  “We’re both Alphas and different species, I know,” she said gently. “I understand it better than you do.”

  “I honestly don’t get it,” I sighed as Virg turned off the water. I gathered up my hair and squeezed out the excess water as well. “You’re my best friend and I trust you more than just about anyone else besides maybe Brian because I’ve known him the longest. Why am I okay with Beth but not you? It feels seriously wrong that I can’t trust you there when I do. I swear I do.”

  She moved closer and knelt in front of me, kissing each of my cheeks. “You think too much like a human. This is not about trust. If Brian was injured and he needed someone to watch over him, would you trust me to protect him?”

  “Of course.”

  “That is trust. Territory and marking what is ours is very different. It’s girl code or whatever. We are too close to ever risk upsetting the other over a man.”

  And just like that, I got it, sighing in relief. “Thanks. I needed that one put into Sera for me.”

  “I figured. I also wanted to ask about Christos.”

  That one shocked me since she was also messing around with Theon who I’d once had my eye on but didn’t anymore since they seemed to be regulars with each other. “No, go ahead.” I let out a bark of laughter. “I feel like we’re picking teams for dodgeball or something. If I lick them, do I keep them like treats?”

  “Yes, that is exactly how this works,” she teased me.

  “Oh, well, I’ve licked all the ancients pretty much.” I smirked at her. “Or they’ve licked me, I should say.”

  “Any you recommend?”

  “Yeah, all of them,” I giggled, actually giggled, which shocked her. I just shrugged. “Once you’ve had ancient, I don’t know you’ll ever be the same. Granted, it’s a bit different given my blood, but yeah.”

  “I don’t let any bite me.”

  “I don’t to feed,” I muttered, letting her see in my eyes what I meant.

  “You dirty, dirty slut,” she breathed, her eyes wide. “Truly?”

  “Yeah, it’s life changing,” I promised, shivering right there and not caring who’s around. “At least try it once. Not for feeding, but I know you like biting, I’ve seen it in your mind sometimes, so seriously, trust me. Ask Emilio for his ‘salty special,’ and he will absolutely show you and make you a believer.”

  “Glad the word is so good about me,” Emilio chuckled from the lockers.

  My face flushed so hot I might have passed out if I had been standing. Simone burst out laughing as I covered my cheeks and hid behind my knees. She wasn’t the only one, and Virg took pity on me by dropping a couple of towels on me to dry off and hide with. When I finally looked over there, Emilio was beaming, so maybe it was worth my embarrassment.

  Simone gave me a curious look when everyone calmed down. “I would never have such submissive sex, but you seemed to enjoy it.”

  I shrugged as I dried out my hair, not ready to stand up yet. “Like I told Eugene and Axel, sex is sex. I’m powerful enough not to have to worry about anything more than fun, and it’s fun to push Virg’s buttons during sex. We both know I’m more powerful. Fuck, I had some of the best orgasms ever when Brian chained me up. He was so, so into it I felt it and not just my siren or clairvoyant side. My wolf was vibrating from feeling it.”

  “I never thought it would add such layers, interesting,” she murmured. “I might try it with Michael.”

  I nodded. “Definitely someone you trust. I wouldn’t do it with someone new.” I reached over and put my hand on her knee. “I get the way you guys roll, but you’re strong, you’re confident in who you are. Fuck what others think about your sex life, and enjoy your life. Try all of it as long as you want to. Isn’t that what you guys have been telling me to do, to accept? Why should that change because I’m the Alpha?”

  “You are too smart for your own good sometimes,” she teased me before kissing my cheek. “Anything else you wish to share?”

  “I’m pretty sure you’ve done it,” I drawled, knowing she was much more sexually experienced than I was.

  She shrugged. “Probably.” She stood, giving me a wink. “Soon we will teach you the other side as well and how to be a mistress in the dungeon once you have the inkling to…” She burst out laughing when my face heated again. “Oh, so you already want to lock someone up? Who?”

  “We’ve discussed turning the tables, and we both want to try it,” Brian answered.

  I shot him a surprised look. “When did you become so sexually open and honest with the class?”

  He shrugged. “Since everything new you expose me to is hotter and hotter, and like I give a fuck if our friends know you chained me to a bed. Work is different because the FBI is…”

  “Yeah, they are,” I agreed, sighing. “I didn’t actually mean you because I knew we’d talked about it. I thought she was talking more about dominatrix with spanking and leather.”

  “And who have you fantasized spanking or flogging?” she asked

  “We don’t need to share everything with the class,” I hissed at her. “That’s not something you just announce.”

  “Maybe not, but you will have a line of willing volunteers to be the one you experience that with your first time,” she purred, nodding to our audience.

  “Well, they’re not here,” I shot right back, wincing when her eyes went wide.

  “The twins? You want to dominate the twins?”

  “You got that rig meant for double training or whatever, and that’s where my mind went. Been. Whatever.” I gave her a look that it was seriously time for a new topic, but she was a brat.

  “I would have thought restraining your tiger or new dire wolf would have topped your list.”

  “I hate you,” I groaned as my heart fluttered for all of them to hear. “You’re seriously evil.”

  “Yes, but you keep snagging some of the sexiest men I’ve ever met, and they all come for you. Allow me a bit of pettiness.”

  “They came for work,” I argued. “They were both assigned for different…” My eyes went wide as two hearts fluttered. I glanced at them in shock, not even hiding it.

  “Sera, you are so adorably oblivious sometimes,” Brian chuckled, looking like he was seconds from losing it. “Sands kept telling me about the tiger you tamed into a kitty who followed you around, obviously taking the job to meet you. I wouldn’t even need to bet the other one did as well knowing you’d have to handle Grand Rapids yourself or at least he’d get on your radar.”

  “I don’t know if I’m flattered or worried that’s a bit stalkerish,” I admitted, glancing between them. “Care to clarify?”

  Axel sighed and came over to me, pulling out his phone and tapping it a few times. He handed it down to me. I stared at him a moment before taking it and focusing on the picture of me from the club’s opening. I was getting my heels back from Reagan.

  “Any woman who could thwart terrorists, handle that crazy, and just grab her shoes for what came next while looking that beautiful was someone I had to meet. So yes, when I heard about Memphis, I suggested you having a tracker team was smart and told them we were finishing ahead of schedule on the mission we were on and met up with you as soon as we could.”

  “And yet you kept putting up a fight,” I muttered, handing the phone back to him.

  He shrugged, slipping it in his pocket. “You weren’t just some hot chick I wanted to bang. You were real and awesome and
terrifying. I never wanted to be owned or tied down. I’m a clanless tiger for a very good reason.”

  “There is the door if you need to go,” I replied, keeping my voice gentle but completely serious since I wouldn’t ever be okay with pushing someone into something they wanted. In a flash I was off the floor and wrapped around him, his lips on mine as his big hand cupped almost all of my ass.

  “The only thing I want is to be inside of you and make love to you until you can’t think of ever telling me to leave again,” he admitted against my lips.

  “Glad we cleared that up,” I purred, kissing my bite on his neck. I glanced over to Eugene as Axel set me down and I started dressing. “And you?” I felt the worry coming off of him and realized this could really be an issue. I went over to him and moved my hand to under his sweater so I had contact with his skin. My eyes went wide as I picked up images from him. “Wow.”

  “Flattered, or am I a stalker?” he asked quietly.

  “Both,” I confessed. I shrugged when I felt his hurt. “You’re an intense guy. I would honestly be disappointed if it was anything less than something so intense. You should definitely kiss me right now though because it’s also hot.”

  He did, and the kiss was even hotter. I melted as he kissed me with complete fire and passion. Wow.

  Later once we had the guests settled into apartments, Virg and I had a night cap and he asked me what I’d seen.

  “He was on one of the council transport teams right after I became Alpha. He was annoyed his team had to head out because there were so many coming in instead of his normal bigger assignments. He saw me then, barking out orders and getting shit done when we had a whole training class from Quantico here plus my people plus all the wolves filing reports. We never even met, and he’s been all about me ever since.”

  “Wow, for someone who was so against having a harem, you really rake them in.”

  I snorted, turning away from him and looking out the window so he didn’t see more than I wanted him to.

  “Yeah, that’s me. The original two are gone, the twins messed up so bad part of me wonders if I can ever really let them back in, same with Dain. Noah and I love each other, but I’m not sure we’ll ever be in love with one another. Goran still loves Apollo and is terrified to be with someone more powerful than him. Zlat is all about a witch that was rescued, and Luca is into a puma he started dating months ago.”
