20. Chapter 20
Anhour,that”show long Demi and Bane have been gone, and that”s almost how long I”ve been pacing back and forth across the office in the apartment. My only distraction was the delivery of the new dining chairs. With the last text from Bane about her apartment needing securing, I act fast. Phoning around a few places, I end up paying more than double the normal amount because I want them out there to fix it on the double.
Those asshole wolves have broken into Demetria”s apartment and wrecked it. Why? I don”t know. They must have known she wouldn”t be back there yet after the state they left her in. If it were up to me, I would keep her here for the rest of time, if only to make sure no one can ever harm her again.
Wait, no. I want her to leave as soon as the wolves are dealt with.
Grabbing the bottle of whiskey, I drink it straight from the decanter before dropping it back down. My fists clench and relax repeatedly as I resume my pacing. Laughter sounds from my doorway, and I turn to glare at Diego. He”s standing in the door, leaning against the frame.
”She”s gotten to you as well.”
”No, she hasn’t.” I bark. ”I”m sick of these wolves. They”ve attacked on our territory and broken into a human”s apartment.”
”Sure, keep telling yourself that, Jax. She”s got you wound so tight.” He laughs. ”How blue are your balls right now?”
I growl at him, lifting the bottle of whiskey back to my lips, and take another gulp. The liquid burns down my throat and I welcome the fire. Two hands rest on my shoulders, massaging my tense muscles. I let them droop as Diego pushes his fingers into all the right places.
A groan escapes me as he hits just the right spot. I put the bottle back on the table with a thud and Diego crowds behind me. The full length of him presses against me, and I can feel his cock twitch against my ass cheeks.
”Man, you feel tense.” He whispers in my ear. ”I can always give you a hand.” He licks the shell of my ear and a shudder races through my spine.
We”ve been close before, but over the last few years, I”ve pulled away from humanity more than the other two. They seek pleasure wherever they can find it, but I don”t trust myself to get close to anyone but them.
His hands skate between my shoulder blades and down my spine. When he reaches my backside, one hand clutches my ass, and the other reaches round to my cock. Brushing the back against my erection, I can’t stop it from twitching.
Diego rubs up and down my clothed length, and I jerk back into him. I need this. Demetria is well and truly under my skin. All I can think about is pounding into her before I sink my teeth into her neck.
No, Jax. That’s not what you want.
Unzipping my pants, Diego reaches his hand inside my boxers and grasps my steely cock in his fist. The sensitive end brushes against the material and I let out a groan. His blunt teeth nip against the skin of my neck just above my shirt collar and already I know I”m close.
”Just let go, Jax.” He whispers against my neck.
I”ve been so on edge since Demetria got here and I”ve given myself no release. My balls tighten and my spine locks up as I ejaculate. My cum soaks the inside of my boxers, seeping through to the fabric of my slacks. Diego spins me around and shoves me up against the table, the bottles rattling. His fist is still gripping my cock as he pumps up and down me at a leisurely pace.
”Fuck, Jax. It”s been a while since I”ve felt your cum on me.” Pulling his hand from my cock, he lifts it to his mouth and licks up the fluid.
My hand grips the back of Diego’s neck and pulls his mouth towards mine. As soon as they connect, I thrust my tongue inside and I can taste myself on him. We both groan as our tongues battle together.
The apartment door opening has us both freezing, our lips still so close to each other, our breath coming out in pants. I hear Demetria giggling in the kitchen and push Diego away from me. Quickly doing up the zipper on my slacks, I stare at the stain on the front.
I”ll have to change before I let either Demetria or Bane see me. But first I”ll have to get back to my room, and that means passing them both. My gaze lifts to Diego; there”s a twinkle in his eyes. He knows exactly what I”m thinking. With a laugh, he turns on his heel and walks out of my office.
Pulling my jacket from the back of my chair, I drape it across my crotch to hide the stain and follow Diego out into the kitchen. The smell of baked goods permeates the air and I find Demetria sitting at the breakfast bar eating donuts.
Diego attempts to grab one out of the box as he passes. She slaps his hand, but she”s not quick enough to stop him and he shoves half the donut into his mouth. Her laughter rings out, filling the apartment. Bane is watching the two of them, a goofy smile on his face.
They”re both so different around her. Bane usually keeps to himself when he stays here, not really spending much time outside the room he”s claimed as his own. And Diego, well, he”s just Diego, but he seems happier, more outgoing, and full of life.
”I”m glad to see you back safely, Demetria.” Her laughter stops, and I want to hear it again. She turns to face me, swiveling around on the barstool. ”I have sent someone to secure your apartment.”
A smile cuts across her sugar covered lips. I think it”s the first time she”s really smiled at me. The others have been graced with her smile more times than I can count over the last few days, but when she looks at me, it”s usually with a scowl.
”Thank you, Jax.” I want her to say my name again. In fact, I want her to scream it out as I make her come.
The damp patch on my slacks is getting more uncomfortable the longer I stand here. With a shake of my head, I head for my room. I need to get out of these pants quickly. Slamming the door behind me, I slip out of them and throw them in the laundry pile, along with my boxers.
My shirt is next and I head into the bathroom, turning on the shower before jumping inside. Scrubbing my skin, I can hear Demetria laughing and giggling with Bane and Diego in the kitchen, and it”s driving me crazy.
We”re all drawn to her for some bizarre reason. There”s a chance she”s my true mate. It’s something rare among vampires, but there”s no way she can be that for all three of us. I can”t let the others blood bond with her until I”ve claimed her first.
I have no issues sharing her with Diego and Bane, but as her true mate, I have to settle my bond with her first. But do I really want that? Every part of me should say yes, but I”ve already had my heart broken and I don”t want that again. When my sire killed my human companion, I all but went on a rampage. I can’t lose control like that again.
Just listening to her laughter as it drifts down the hall has my cock hardening all over again. Grasping my length in my fist, I pump it up and down. Closing my eyes, all I can see is her half naked on her bed after I found her with Diego. Her pussy dripping and her nipples hard enough to cut glass. Pumping my cock in my fist, I imagine it”s her tight hole gripping me. It doesn”t take long before my balls tingle and tighten, spending myself against the shower wall.
Now I”m back under control, I clean myself and step out of the shower. Slinging a towel low around my hips, I move back into the bedroom. What I don”t expect is to find Demetria sitting on my bed. I inhale deeply as her scent hits me with its full force. Her eyes are on my body, looking me up and down. They stop on my crotch and her tongue darts out to wet her lips.
”Shit, sorry. I should have waited outside.” She quickly stands and heads for the door.
”What is it, Demetria?” Looking back over her shoulder, she slowly turns to face me again.
”Diego, he... well, he was just joking, but he mentioned earning my keep.” Her hands are clasped in front of her. ”He said maybe I could work in the bar. I just need something to do, I’m going stir crazy.”
”Okay.”
”I knew you wouldn”t... wait, what?” Her eyes are wide. ”Did you just agree?”
”Yes, Demetria. I can be agreeable sometimes.” Running my hand through my wet hair, I nod. ”Plus, it means we”ll actually be able to work and not keep having to watch you.”
”Oh... Captain Asshole is back again. But good, good. If it gives me something to do, then whatever.”
With a last look over my body, she turns on her heel and stomps out of my bedroom into her own. I”ve lied to her again. None of us mind watching her, but our work has been suffering a little since she turned up. There is always at least one person in the apartment with her, but she”s done nothing but watch movies and even I”d be bored out of my mind by now. This way Demetria will have something to do, and we can keep on top of the club and still watch her, but with the extra help of the staff.
