Chapter 10
Chapter Ten
Iscreamed his name. Each stroke of his tongue across my sensitized pussy had me arching closer to his mouth. The vibrations of his rumble made my need for more even higher.
“Make me come, damn you.”
“Not yet,” he growled. “You aren’t begging me.”
My body writhed, the clawing hunger from his torment putting me on edge. “Yes, yet,” I demanded.
Our gazes met and locked, and I watched as he inserted two large digits into me, sucking my clit into his mouth, growling as he did so.
The vibrations mixed with the pulsing fingers sent me over the edge.
I was beyond begging. When I cried out and asked him to fuck me, he surged up, filling me hard and fast. I fought for control, for every breath.
Watching the thick crest disappear inside me as he pushed inside and slowly pulled out.
The stretching bite of pain exactly what I needed.
“God, I love watching your snug little pussy take me. It’s almost enough to make me come.” He grit his teeth.
The slight burn as he worked in and out, his cock glistening with my juices, his words making me cry out. Each time he buried his flesh deep inside me, I swore it couldn’t get better. The fierce thrusts sent me closer.
“Love you so hard.”
“Love you harder.” He covered my mouth with his.
His movements became frenzied, faster, harder, driving into me with desperation that sent need lashing through me.
I was covered from head to toe with Xan, his tongue in my mouth, cock inside me.
Each stroke drove me closer until I was crying out.
Turning my head to the side, I bit his neck, exploding into ecstasy.
My internal muscles clamped down on his cock, each ridge and vein I felt as he came deep in shuddering waves. His own teeth clamped down on my neck.
I lay half on him, our bodies slickened with sweat, feeling almost boneless. The thought of being taken tried to rear its ugly head, but I forced it away. My mate wouldn’t allow anyone to take me, not if he had breath in his body. I would fight just as hard to protect him.
“I really love this mating heat thing,” Xan murmured.
“Me, too. You ready for round two?”
He trailed his hand down my back, fingers sliding between the cheeks of my ass. “You ready for me to claim you here?” Every nerve tingled at the thought of being claimed in the most primal way.
“Every inch of me is yours.”
“Just as every inch of me is yours.” He gathered juice from the loving, tracing a path back to the forbidden opening.
“Does that mean I get to do the same to you?” I couldn’t help teasing him.
A firm smack on my ass had me laughing, while a sexual heat lit up my backside. “I’ll let you do anything you want to my cock as long as it involves entering any part of your body,” he assured me.
He stilled beside me, concentration etched on his features.
Without asking what was wrong or interrupting, I knew Kellen was speaking with him.
The short wait seemed to take an eternity, my heart beating like a trapped animal.
The only reason the alpha would interrupt us was if he had new information or if Xan was needed.
Blue eyes blinked down at me, the expression one I was learning only too well. “You need to go, and I can’t go with you,” I stated.
Xan nodded. “Your safety is my number one priority. There is a breakthrough, and if we strike hard and fast, Kayan and his group believe we can take down the enemy before they realize we are onto them.”
My mind knew it was the best action, but my heart and soul warred with each other. I swallowed my instant denial. “Go, I’ll be fine.”
He kissed me, then sat up on the side of the bed, resting with his elbows on his knees. “Fuck, I hate leaving you.” He ran his hands down his face.
I didn’t know what to say that wouldn’t sound like a pussy.
In the end, I stayed silent, knowing he needed me to be strong.
I was strong, damn it. I’d taken a lashing that would’ve killed most. No child should suffer beatings and have the scars to show for it.
My back hit the headboard, eyes lifting to his.
“Go. I’ll find Lyric, and we’ll get reacquainted or some shit. ”
His eyes flared. “You’re sexy when you swear.” My gaze jerked down to his lap, widening at the sight of his erection bobbing at attention.
“You really need to be going, or Kellen will be storming in here. Imagine him finding us fucking like bunnies.”
Xan stood up laughing. “That’s Rowan’s fantasy, not mine.
” He grinned. “When he changed for the first time, my sister explained some of the things a shifter goes through after they shift. The need to hunt, eat, and fuck. He so eloquently asked if he was going to hunt Bambi, want to fuck it, and then eat it.” The last was said with a chuckle.
I stared as my mate bent and began getting dressed, wishing he didn’t have to leave so soon. Gods, but the man had to have the best body this side of everywhere.
“You checking me out, mate?” He asked, snapping the button on a pair of snug denim.
A yawn overtook me before I could answer. “Well, yes, yes, I am.” I covered my mouth as another yawn broke free.
“Why don’t you skip chatting with Lyric and get some rest. I’ll let your brothers and father know to watch our door. Nobody but me in or out.” I raised my eyebrows, prompting him to add a little addendum that I could come and go as well.
Snuggling down into the still-warm bed, I watched warily as he rose and left the room.
The sound of him leaving left a small ache, but I knew he’d be back before I woke, and besides, we could always reach each other through our mate connection, I reassured myself.
I closed my eyes, falling into a deep sleep almost immediately.
Stepping into what I was going to start calling the war room, I couldn’t believe what had changed in the hours I’d been gone.
Kellen and his once laid-back office with the black leather couches and recliners, where we’d fucked and done more debauchery than I cared to think about, was now filled with computers and other electronic devices.
Rowan and his Phantom Team were gathered around the machines, while the alpha was lounging behind his big ass desk.
I shook my head. “What the fuck is going on that I had to leave my mate?” I waved my arm in the direction of Rowan. “What’s all this?”
“That, my friend, is harshing my mello.” Kellen rubbed his temple.
Rowan raised his arm, middle finger extended, but didn’t say a word, nor turn around. “See that? Insubordination. I’m your fucking alpha. Don’t give me the middle finger, asshole.” Kellen pointed his highball glass filled with amber liquid toward the men’s backs.
I scoffed. “Again, why am I here, instead of buried in my mate?” I poured myself a drink.
“Is that all you think about, wolfman?” Coyle asked, standing up from his slouched position. The big man’s dark skin with tattoos would rival any of the Iron Wolves.
I tilted my head, studying the other man before answering.
“Here’s the way of it. We have a code. When a man is fucking his mate cause she’s in mating heat, you don’t fuck with them.
Period. Unless it’s a really good reason.
” I tilted my head back, swallowing the liquid in one drink, sure I wasn’t going to like what they said next.
“Damn, I like that code. Unfortunately, this couldn’t wait.” He indicated the monitors. Coyle made room for me to see the images they were looking at.
“That’s near where we found Breezy and the bitch.” Kayan glanced at me. “Across the street. The CCV monitor picked up these guys an hour after we left. I was able to track their movements by doing a little playing with the satellites.”
According to the law, I was sure that wasn’t legal, but the Iron Wolves and I didn’t live by human laws.
Hell, we were the law. The two vehicles that had come to the site, clearly searching for their lost one, were careful not to let onlookers know.
If I hadn’t known, I’d have thought they were regular men.
Well, maybe not regular with the camo they wore and shit they carried, but lots of guys preferred to dress in that type of clothing. I just wasn’t one of them.
A glance at the five men with Rowan, and I was sure they had a closet full of camo in some form.
“Do we know where their final destination is, or what? I’m really about the end, not the middle shit here, boys.
I’ve got better things to be doing than watching some dead men driving.
Feel me?” I checked the time, frowning at the hour.
“It’s close to midnight. If we head out now, we can hit while they are all either in bed or tired. ”
Rowan turned, black eyes unblinking. “I’ve called in a few markers.
We’ll have some backup who will attack north of their borders, and we’ll go in on the south side.
From what I can see, which by the way isn’t a whole hell of a lot, they have a pretty nice hunk of land.
Satellite pictures show several barracks-style buildings, a dozen or so vehicles, and a large apartment-style building.
Nothing fancy, almost military in its making.
When I checked, there were no bases, nor was there any paperwork that suggested it was owned by the government.
The name on the land is a Sanderson Iceland. ” Pure steel laced his tone.
“Did you find out anything about this dude Sanderson and why he has a hard-on for Breezy?” I knew it was because he was a thwarted lover. Maybe he’d wanted Breezy but realized he couldn’t have her. I dismissed that, too.
“Nothing. The man didn’t exist until about ten years ago when he bought the property,” Tay informed us.
