She bent her head over his and massaged his scalp. “I know. I’m sorry it’s happening to you and I just want to get to the bottom of it. If Ben is in trouble, you should know why so you can help him.”
“I hate the idea of having to go over there again and bring you into the middle of that. You should stay back here until I figure it all out.”
“Yeah, sure. I’ll just wait here for you and paint my toenails. Oh no, wait, I’m Second in the Pack and your mate, guess I’ll do my job and be there. Dumbass, you actually think I’d stay here while you did this all yourself?”
He started to speak but saw the hard set of her mouth and sighed deeply. It was time to put away his feelings as a brother and be the Enforcer of his Clan. If he had to challenge his brother to save Pacific and Tracy, he would. Period.
“Too bad the Mediator is so utterly biased in this case.” Tracy sent Gabe a weak smile and he returned it, leaning in quickly to kiss the tip of her nose.
“You have to see this through. Not just to figure out what’s wrong to protect Tracy, but to protect the Pack. It’s your duty. I’ll help in whatever way I can.” Gabe looked at Nick, who’d sat back on the couch.
“Yes, it’s my duty. And I’ll do it because I’m the Enforcer and it’s my job to protect my Pack.” Nick took a deep breath and Tracy watched in awe as he pulled on his rank like a suit of armor. Sitting there, he radiated strength and power and menace.
“Wow, I know I’m not supposed to say this, but you’re really hot when you’re all badass.”
The look he sent her made heat spread outward from low in her gut. When he spoke, his voice was low and the bass in it vibrated down her spine. “I’m going to take you when this is over and my wolf is riding me, Tracy. I’m going to bury myself deep in your cunt and Gabe is going to fill you from behind. I’m going to mark you here—” he touched her neck where it met her shoulder “—and anywhere else that appeals to me.”
She blinked several times, feeling slightly lightheaded.
Gabe leaned in to growl in her ear. “Maybe I’ll put a chain through these rings—” his hands moved to her breasts “—and bind your hands. I’d like that, to see you bound and at my pleasure. At our pleasure. Perhaps even bring out the blindfold so you won’t know what you’ll feel next.”
She closed her eyes and let the image of that float through her system, making her feel heavy and warm.
Nick chuckled. “I think she likes that, Gabe.”
“Good, because I think we need a very large four-poster bed so that we can make use of the many ways to spread and bind her. Do you like rope, sweetheart?”
She shook herself out of her fantasy to answer. “Rope?”
“Mmm-hmm. I think we’ve got a lot of things to try together, don’t you, Nick?”
“Most definitely.” Nick’s face was very close to Tracy’s and also to Gabe’s. Their mingled scent drove Tracy insane with need.
“Please fuck me,” she whispered as Nick’s hands worked at the button and zipper of her jeans.
Gabe pulled her sweater over her head and was back, hands on her breasts, mouth brushing hot kisses against the back of her neck.
“Stand up,” Nick said and she obeyed, both men still sitting. Nick pushed her jeans and panties down her legs and she stepped out of them and was there totally naked as both of them raked their eyes over her, devouring every detail of her body.
“You’re so beautiful there in the late afternoon sun, Tracy. Your skin nearly glows with the light. I love the way your back curves. You have such long legs but tiny feet. I don’t think I’ve seen a wolf with such petite features before.” Gabe stood and she heard his belt jingle as he loosened his pants and the hiss of the material as they hit the floor.
“Petite? I’m five-ten. That’s not petite.” Her voice nearly broke at the heat of him as he moved close behind her. She watched Nick pull off his shirt, exposing his chest and the flat, hard muscle there.
“Yes you’re tall, but you have a pixie nose and freckles across your cheeks and a sweet mouth to go with those tiny feet. It’s your features that are petite.” Gabe spoke as he took her wrists and she felt the cool leather of his belt wrap around them. “Is this all right with you?” He spoke softly as he tightened the belt, binding her hands and lower arms.
Excitement coursed through her body. “Yes. I trust you.”
Nick stood, removing his pants and boxers, tossing them into the chair behind him. He was so hard that her mouth watered and her clit pulsed.
“Good. Now, let’s move to the chaise.” Gabe tugged on her wrists gently.
“With the windows open like that? Anyone could see in!”
“Why, yes, yes they could. Does that excite you, Tracy? Knowing that someone sitting at their desk doing work could look up and see us through the windows? See you fucking two men? See your naked body writhing? See you with my cock in your mouth?” Gabe half sat, half lay on the chaise, widening his thighs so she’d be able to kneel there.
“I...” The idea of someone perhaps catching them did turn her on. Oh gracious she was bad! There she stood, totally naked, hands and arms tied with a belt, getting ready to have sex with two men. She grinned. Yep, despite everything else, life was fucking good.
“That’s right, baby. You can’t deny that it turns you on. I can smell how much it turns you on, I can hear it as you walk. Your nipples are rock-hard and you keep licking your lips.” Nick spoke as he helped position her because her wrists were still bound. He knelt behind her as she leaned down to Gabe. He held his cock so that she could take it into her mouth.
“Nice and slow and keep me wet. You’re so good, Tracy. Your mouth is sooo good,” Gabe crooned and ran fingertips over her shoulders and the back of her neck.
She moaned and arched her back when Nick held her open with one hand and thrust into her snug heat in one thrust.
“Oh god yes,” Nick murmured, catching her wrists in one hand to help her stay up as she moved her mouth over Gabe’s cock. What a sight she made there between them! So sexy and outright hot it melted his control. He wasn’t sure he’d ever been so turned on in his life. But each time he was with this woman, he thought that. Each time he touched her, he needed her more than the last time he did.
The way her body felt wrapped around his cock was so good that he wasn’t sure his system could process it all. He’d always loved sex, had it quite often with many beautiful women and not one experience he’d ever had before he met Tracy could even compare. With her—inside her, touching her, smelling her, feeling her body against his—he was whole. He belonged to her, to them.
Nick watched her love Gabe with her mouth, watched Gabe’s hand gently caress her neck and shoulders. Tenderness burst through him for them both. He felt an intense connection to these two wolves he found himself bound to. If he hadn’t, Nick wasn’t sure they could have made the threesome work. But he felt as emotionally bonded to Gabe as he did to Tracy. A deep sense of kinship ran between them, held them all together as a unit.
Tracy drowned in the intensity of her need for them. Her hands bound, it was Nick who held her up. Her eyes closed against the sight of Gabe, so beautiful in his sexuality that she couldn’t bear it. It was Gabe’s hand at her neck and shoulders that gentled her.
Into her pussy Nick would thrust, and down her mouth descended over Gabe’s cock. Nick’s gasp when she tightened around him was echoed by Gabe’s moan as she took him as far back into her throat as she could.
Each man filled her to the point of nearly overflowing and that fullness was soul deep. She was a strong woman, and yet submitting to them in the way she was felt so right too. Giving herself over to them both took trust, yes, but she had no hesitation in doing it.
Gabe watched her through half-lidded eyes. Watched her mouth take his cock deep over and over. Was entranced by the way her l
ashes fell against her cheeks. Loved the way her breasts moved each time Nick thrust into her pussy, causing the little bead in each nipple ring to swing forward.
She was gloriously beautiful to him. He loved her scent and the soft sounds of pleasure she made around his cock. So much had clicked into place that despite the utter chaos of the Pacific Pack and whatever the hell Ben and Sarah Lawrence were hiding, he’d never felt more right.
The heat and wet of her mouth sent him hurtling toward orgasm, and by the look on Nick’s face he wasn’t far behind.
“Make her come, Nick,” Gabe murmured. Nick’s mouth curved at one corner and he slid his hand from her hip to her lips.
“Wet my fingers, baby.” He reached down to where her mouth was. His fingers slid against Gabe’s cock and electricity shot up his arm. His gaze locked with Gabe’s for a moment before Tracy pulled off his cock and sucked Nick’s fingers into her mouth, wetting them before he took them to her pussy, stroking over her clit.
He sucked in a breath as her pussy fluttered and tightened around him. “Mmm. That’s it, baby. Come for me.”
Gabe moved his hand from her neck to roll one of her delicious little nipples between his fingers, pulling the ring in the way he knew she liked. He sure as hell knew she liked it at that moment because she made a soft sound of pleasure around his cock and lost her rhythm for a few moments.
Her clit was hard and swollen beneath Nick’s fingertips and her thighs began to tremble as she pressed back against him harder to take him deeper. “Oh that’s good. Give it to me.”
“Fuck,” Gabe hissed as he began to come, body tightening as he pinched her nipple tighter, feeling as if his whole body was shooting out the head of his cock into her. “Oh I do love you.”
Tracy made a surprised sound as her orgasm hit her full force. Waves of intense pleasure buffeted her, threatening to pull her under. Her hands were bound and there was an element of letting go there as she let Nick do the work of holding her up and gave over to the feelings rushing through her body and her heart.
She felt the muscles in Nick’s thighs and abdomen tighten and he hoarsely whispered her name as he came deep within her body.
Muscles still twitched and small aftershocks of pleasure still racked her body as she dimly felt Nick remove the belt. Gabe rubbed her wrists and they lay her down on the carpet, each man settling in beside her.
* * *
After a few minutes more she finally opened her eyes and saw Nick above her, smiling down. She reached up to touch his cheek and run her fingertips through his hair. “Wow.”
Gabe laughed beside her and kissed her shoulder. “Yeah, wow is an understatement, I think.”
“No offense to you both or anything. You are both extraordinarily handsome and strong and the utter hotness and all, but I think this mate thing is like a sex amplifier.” Her words were still slightly slurred. Each time they were together as a threesome she drowned in the pleasure until she was drunk on endorphins. It was still amazing when it was one-on-one, but as a triad the energy they put out together was tremendous.
“Is that a complaint?” Nick’s smile was arrogant and she couldn’t help but blush.
“Hell no. I wish I could bottle it up. We’d make a billion dollars.”
A cell phone rang in the distance.
“That’s me.” Gabe groaned as he rolled up onto his knees and got up to go to his pants and dig out his phone.
Tracy half listened to the conversation as she turned back to Nick. “So when are we going to get over to the Pack house?”
“I’ll call my father to set it up. I’m going to call Josh and get him and a few others who are loyal to me there just in case.”
“Are you going to challenge Ben?” She sat up and grabbed her shirt.
“If I have to, yes.”
“Okay. I’m going to call Nina to get her help on something.”
“Nina’s help on what?” Nick asked as he took her hand and let her tug him to his feet.
She walked down the hall and into the bathroom and he followed her, leaning against the door, watching her clean up and pull panties and socks back on, followed by a pair of jeans.
“I think you should wear something baggy. I saw the way Josh was looking at you last night. I can’t kill him, I need him at my back right now.”
She looked shocked for a moment and then rolled her eyes. Kissing him on her way back out, she put extra sway in her step just for his amusement.
“This is just between us, but Nina was the shit back in the day. She’s a superstar computer hacker. That’s how we found out all that shit about the embezzlement of our Third and the involvement of that twisted fuck, Warren Pellini.”
“Pellini?” Gabe walked back into the room, having changed his clothes and finished his phone call. “Why are you talking about him?”
“Last year our Third was embezzling money from the Pack to pay back a huge debt to the Pellini family. He stole some of the lycanthropy virus and sold it to the Rogues. Then he killed Nina’s brother and nearly killed her too in a challenge at the Pack house.”
“I remember hearing about that. But she got a gun and nearly killed him, right?” Nick remembered hearing about it and having a swell of admiration for Nina Warden.
Tracy nodded. “But not before the sick bastard bit her. There’s still a lot of major resentment from Nina on this whole thing.”
“That Carter tried to kill her? Or changed her illegally? He was stripped of rank, right?” Nick watched her put her boots on and noted she chose the Doc Martens with the thick sole. He smiled, knowing she’d chosen them in case she had to throw down.
“That, but also that she was a human and nearly killed while the Pack stood there and didn’t help. That Lex and Cade didn’t help. Although Lex did have to be disarmed and held down by several other wolves while he screamed that he was going to rip Carter to shreds when he got free. It’s been a big issue between them.”
“She’s right. I think the whole notion is messed up. Cade should have stopped it.” Gabe leaned against the counter. Tracy’s eye was drawn to him. Long and tall and broad-shouldered. Substantial. The sun streaming into the hallway glinted off the reddish highlights in his caramel hair and she could see the strands of gray here and there as well as his salt-and-pepper at the temples. She loved the lines around his eyes, those deep brown, very serious eyes. He was dignified and elegant and sensual. A shiver rode her for a moment as she caught his scent.
“Cade has a responsibility to his Pack to maintain order. She was a human and therefore had no rank in the Pack. His Third had every right to challenge, even if it was cowardly. If Cade had stopped it, how could the Pack ever depend on him to make hard choices for the good of the whole Pack in the future? He can’t choose his anchored bond over the Pack.” Nick couldn’t imagine watching Tracy be challenged like that. Thank god she was a wolf and had his protection and rank.
“Oh bullshit. Being a wolf in this century means we can let go of some of the old ways that used to be so life and death. We can afford to change. We have to. I understand the other wolves standing aside. Cade is clearly an Alpha that holds his Pack, it would have been impossible to disobey his orders. But Cade didn’t have to make that choice. Cade was free to stop it. In not doing so, he held to the old ways, which strangle us and keep us from moving forward.”
Tracy understood Gabe’s point more than she would have before she became so close to Nina. But Nick was old school. He’d been born a wolf and into a ruling family. Of course he’d see a need to uphold tradition, it’s how he would have been raised and educated. But Gabe hadn’t started out a wolf, he had a human sensibility, and she agreed with him that it was important for Packs to democratize.
“Okay, anyway,” Tracy interrupted the argument, “I think it’s an interesting discussion and I have my own feelings on the
issue but right now let’s get back to the topic. Nina the super hacker. I’m going to ask her to snoop around in the Pack accounts to see what she can turn up.”
Gabe grinned. “She’s a woman of many talents, I see.”
“If you say anything else about her with that look on your face I’ll scratch your eyes out,” Tracy growled and both men started at the change in her mood.
“Oh, you can’t do that unless you’re going to be bending over the arm of the couch so I can fuck the sense back into you.” Gabe moved toward her, his wolf aroused at her display of dominance.
“I can do whatever I want if you think you’re going to talk about another female like that in my presence.” Eyes narrowed, she moved to him and his mouth was on hers, hand in her hair, holding her to him so that he could devour her.
He broke the kiss and looked down into her face. Her head was back, neck exposed to him fully, eyes still sparking at him. “Woman, what you do to me,” he murmured and skated his lips over her jawline and down her throat. “You wreck me as much as you complete me.” Moving back up to look into her face again, he caught the curve of her lips in a smile of utter female satisfaction.
“It does cheer me, yes, to know I have that effect on you.”
“We’ve created a monster,” Nick said in the background.
“Mmm-hmm. You’d best keep me satisfied then, hadn’t you?” Tracy winked at Nick and stepped out of Gabe’s embrace. “Now, I’m calling Nina. Do you have any basic info like a checkbook or account number where she can start?”
Nick swallowed hard as he followed her into the office. That bit of dominance play she’d engaged in out there with Gabe had fried his circuits. Pulling out a file from a drawer, he placed it on the desk in front of her. “This is all I’ve got. I’m going in the other room to call my father.” He leaned in and brushed his lips over her forehead and left, closing the door.
Gabe nipped in a moment later. “I’m just going to watch you work. I have some suspicions about Pellini that I’d like to discuss with you later.”
