Blackwood Falls [Blackwood Falls] (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour)

  “It’s okay, Angel, you can’t get pregnant and we can’t catch or carry human diseases.” She relaxed with his words, trying to help ease his way into her. He was so big, she felt him stretching her. She loved hearing his moans and curses about how tight she was from above her. After what felt like an eternity, he was finally seated balls deep inside her. The stretching was almost too painful for Sarah, but he gave her time to adjust to him before moving. After another few minutes, he was pulling out and thrusting back into her hard and fast. Sarah had never come before from actual penetration, but thought if Brax kept going, she soon would. The pleasure was so immense, tears sprang to her eyes. Brax picked up the rhythm and she knew he was close to coming. “Please!” she shouted, not sure what for, but he seemed to understand. Nuzzling his face to her neck, he lowered his fingers to her clit and began rubbing the nub as fast as his thrusts. She tried to tell him she had never come from penetration before, but couldn’t manage to get more than two words out at a time. She heard him roar his release just as the pleasure inside her broke like a dam, sweeping up over every inch of her body. While she continued to ride on the wave of pleasure racing through her body, she felt his hot thick cum pulsing from his cock into her. Just when she thought the pleasure would never stop, she felt Brax kiss her neck, right before he bit her. The pleasure that was just starting to ebb away came back full force, causing her pussy walls to clamp down on Brax’s cock. The last thing she thought as the blackness swallowed her and she passed out was that Brax hadn’t given her a choice. He had claimed her and turned her without permission.

  Chapter Seven

  The next morning, Conner lay in bed with a sleeping Sarah snuggled into him. Life is good, he thought, thinking back to last night. Although he hadn’t been inside Sarah, he knew it was only a matter of time before he was. Watching Brax take her had been one of the hottest things he had ever seen. When she shouted out when Brax bit her, Conner had come again, covering Sarah and Brax’s side.

  He wished Brax could be here with them when she woke, but his cell had started ringing with the emergency code about thirty minutes ago. On answering, he found out three juveniles had been injured while walking in the forest. Unsure of what exactly happened, Brax jumped up, got dressed and left after kissing Conner, promising to call as soon as he had news. Sending a prayer up that the three were going to be okay, he kissed the top of Sarah’s head and thought about what he should do with her today. He knew he would have mountains of paperwork piled on his desk, but he just couldn’t be bothered. Sarah stirred in his arms, opening her forest-green eyes. “Morning, beautiful,” Conner greeted her. She smiled up at him and he couldn’t resist kissing her.

  “Morning,” she replied, looking around the room.

  “Brax had to go take care of an emergency with the pack, he should be back soon though,” Conner told her. His smile faded as he noticed her smile disappear and anger covered her face.

  “Well he is never touching me again. The fucking asshole. I can’t believe what he did to me. He didn’t even ask. Wait till I see him, I’m gonna chop his dick off his body. Is this what he did to you? Took away your option?” she asked. She had jumped off the bed when she started talking and paced at the bottom of the bed. Now she stood staring at Conner with her hands on her hips. He couldn’t help but notice the movements of her breasts as she breathed heavy.

  Having absolutely no idea what she was talking about, Conner went to her. He took her arms and brought her back to sit on the bed. “Sarah, sweetie, what’s wrong? I thought you wanted to do it as well. Did you not enjoy it or something, did he hurt you somehow?”

  “Of course I wanted to do it, but I still wanted some time left as a human, but now because of that caveman, I’m a werewolf.” She told him before talking to herself. “I don’t feel any different, I wonder if I look different. I hope the change will make me slimmer…” She seemed to catch herself from saying anymore when she caught Conner staring at her. If looks could kill, I’d be dead.

  That’s when Conner realized she was talking about Brax biting her, not having sex with her. She thought that one little bite had turned her into a werewolf. He had to hide his smile. It wasn’t her fault she didn’t know that’s not how a person was changed. Before she got up again, Conner turned her toward him and kissed her to get her to calm down and stop threatening to castrate their lover. “Sarah, Angel, Brax hasn’t turned you. The bite he gave you last night was just the wolf part of him coming through. It happens almost all the time when wolves make love. You’re still one hundred percent human. We would never change you without your permission first.”

  Sarah thought about what he had said for a moment, then laughed a little. “I’m sorry, that’s exactly what I thought he did. I feel like an idiot now.”

  “Don’t be silly, how were you meant to know? We should have told you. I have to admit though, I’m so happy you have agreed to be turned.” He gave her a beaming smile which she copied. “I think this morning while I show you around the ranch, I’ll explain how a person is changed. That sound okay with you?”

  She leaned forward and kissed him gently on the lips. “That sounds great, thanks, Conner.”

  As he was about to lean in for another kiss, and perhaps more, his own cell started ringing. He recognized the ring tone as that of the number from the ranch. “Two seconds, sweetie, just need to take this.” Taking his phone off the nightstand, he answered it to the frantic voice of one of the ranch hands. He had to ask the young man twice to calm down and repeat what he was saying. Conner swore to himself and told the other man he would be there in five minutes. Turning to Sarah, he said, “I’m so sorry, sweetie, there’s a problem down at the ranch. There’re two men down today, that only leaves three people working. One of the cows is having trouble giving birth and needs help, and about five minutes ago, Merlin, our stallion, managed to get out of his stall and is running free. I’m going to have to go and give them a hand.” He started pulling on clothes as he continued. “Feel free to help yourself to anything in the house, watch a movie, get whatever you want to eat, okay? Mine and Brax’s numbers are stored in the home phone if you need us for anything. I’m really sorry about this,” he said again, finishing getting dressed.

  “It’s okay, Conner, I understand. Do you want me to come help?”

  “No, Merlin is a mean bastard at the best of times and isn’t keen on strangers, you just stay here until I get back.”

  “Okay, I will make us all some lunch if I can figure out how to use the oven.” She laughed. Conner reached down and kissed her, letting it last just long enough for him to be able to pull away and not taking it further. He truly did feel awful about leaving her alone, but he couldn’t let Merlin run around like he was now.

  Sarah was just placing the casserole she had made for dinner into the oven so it was out of the way before she made the sandwiches for lunch when there was a knock on the door. Seeing as she had only met a handful of pack members, she wasn’t sure if she should answer it or not when she heard Trish’s voice. “Sarah, it’s me, Donner and Kirstie.” Sarah wiped her hands on the tea towel and hurried to answer the door. She led the women to the kitchen and began making coffee for them and tea for Kirstie.

  “So, how you getting on? Is everything going okay?” Donna asked, talking a seat on a stool at the breakfast bar after helping Kirstie into her own. Trish came around and helped with the coffee.

  “Everything’s okay I guess. I kind of had a go at Conner this morning for something Brax did last night though. Turns out I was just jumping to conclusions and things are good now, apart from the three kids that were hurt and the horse that got out this morning.” After learning from Kirstie that the kids were fine and the men were out looking for whoever set the traps and to make sure there wasn’t anymore, the women laughed over the horse escaping.

  “Come on then, spill, what happened last night?” Trish asked, wiggling her eyebrows at Sarah.

  She felt the blush rising on her neck
and face and tried to think of something else to say other than the truth. “Don’t even think about lying, we want the truth, missy. Me and Donner have no sex life to speak of and Kirstie’s too knocked up to do much. We want all the gory details as well.” Sarah laughed at the last part. She had always wanted to have girlfriends she could talk to like this, and hoped these women would come to consider her their friend. She was desperate to know what was involved in being claimed and couldn’t wait for the guys to get home to tell her, so decided to ask the girls. She explained about what had happened the night before, including Brax biting her and her blowing her head with Conner this morning about it, thinking Brax had turned her without asking first. When she was finished, Trish and Donner turned to Kirstie.

  “What you both looking at me for?” she asked.

  “Because me and Trish were born wolves, you were turned so you know what it’s like being turned and can give her the best details,” Donna said.

  Kirstie sighed. “Okay then, but one of you two make me something to eat while I’m talking, I’m starving,” she said, pointing to Trish and Donna. Trish got started making sandwiches for them all when Kirstie began. “Conner was right, simply biting on the neck when getting down and dirty is just something that happens. Brax was also right when he said you couldn’t get pregnant. Female werewolves only go into heat about twice a year. Only their mate can get them pregnant during this time, which lasts a few days. Single wolves either take a pill to stop the worst side effects or get a few single men together. The men will fight each other for the right to get it on with the female, and with the hormones the woman gives out, any single man in the pack would be willing to fight. But it’s the female who picks who will fight. When the heat starts, the woman becomes a sex-crazed little minx. She will need to come about fifty times before she is satisfied to rest. Once she’s rested, she wants to go again and again and again. Only a mated female can become pregnant, and only by her mate. Believe it or not, when she is in heat but doesn’t want to become pregnant, she can take the normal human pill to stop conceiving. It’s one of the small things that humans and werewolves have in common. As to being changed—” She paused and looked at the other two women and seemed somewhat hesitant to continue.

  “She’s going to find out soon enough, Kirstie, better from you than someone who hasn’t been through it.”

  “Fine, listen though, Sarah, it’s going to sound bad, but trust me it’s not, okay? I went through it when I agreed to be with Tyler and it was honestly the best thing I have ever done.” She waited until Sarah nodded before continuing, “Right, to be turned, you need to be bitten. On the neck. When your mates in wolf form, not their human form.”

  Sarah couldn’t speak. Couldn’t move. She couldn’t even think. Surly she misheard. But no, she didn’t. In the back of her mind, she heard the other women talking. Kirstie saying she knew she shouldn’t have said anything.

  After a little while, Sarah knew she had to get the thought of Brax biting her when he was a wolf out of her mind before she went nuts. The women agreed to change the subject and they all headed into the den for comfort. Sarah asked if the intensity of her feelings for her men was normal, considering she had only known them a few days. Kirstie and Donna assured her it was. Trish seemed to be hesitant when it came to talking about herself finding a mate when Sarah mentioned her and Donner being single. Sarah wanted to ask more, but didn’t, giving the woman some privacy. An hour later when Conner returned, Sarah felt much better. She still couldn’t stop laughing at Kirstie trying to get Tyler committed when he confessed he was a werewolf. When the three women left, Conner turned to Sarah. “I hope I didn’t scare them off.”

  “No, of course not, come on, I’ll make you some lunch. I’ve got a casserole in the oven for dinner.” She led him toward the kitchen.

  “You didn’t have to, I would have done that.”

  “It’s okay, I did it before the girls turned up.” She sat him on a stool and began making him a chicken and mustard sandwich. When she asked if he wanted salad, he laughed and told her he was a wolf, not a rabbit. Brax returned shortly after and Sarah began making him lunch as well. When they were both eating, she decided she would tell them now what she found out. “Right, I don’t know the best way to put this, so I’m just gonna come out and say it. The girls told me about being changed into a werewolf.” She held her hand up to stop Brax when he went to interrupt. “Just let me get this out, then you can talk okay? I admit, when she first told me, I was totally freaked out and thought there was no way in hell I would let a wolf bite me. But then I thought a little about it. And had a few questions about it. Depending on the answers, I will then make my mind up. But, if my answer is yes, I want time, okay, not a lot, just a few days. Is that okay with you two?”

  “Yeah, that’s reasonable enough, what’re these questions?” Brax asked.

  “The main one is this, when you guys shift, how much of the human part is left? Or do you become the wolf in body and mind?”

  “We should have told you that before now. Sorry, it’s our fault. When we shift, we are still in complete control. It’s only our body that shifts. Yes the wolf has its own mind, but we can have as much or as little control as we want. But at the end of the day, the human mind is in control.”

  Sarah sagged in relief at Brax’s words. She still didn’t like the idea of being bitten by a wolf, but knowing Brax’s mind would be in full control made her feel a little better.

  “Okay, that makes me feel better about this whole thing. I’m guessing there isn’t any other way to do it?” she asked the men, looking hopeful. When they shook their heads no, she slumped forward on the breakfast bar. “I sort of guessed but thought it was worth asking. My next question is how long it will take for me to turn?”

  “The whole process takes about a month. First your senses change. They sharpen and become better, your sight, hearing and smell. Then you become physically stronger. Your body needs less sleep but a shit load more calories, when that happens, you will be eating almost as much as me,” Brax said and smiled at her, before finishing his fifth sandwich.

  Sarah almost choked at the thought of eating as much as Brax or Conner. Brax ate twice as much as Conner who ate twice as much as her. “So what happens after that?”

  “When your body’s changed, the stuff I just said, you just change into your wolf.”

  “Just like that?”

  “Yep, just like that. It can happen anytime, anywhere. Even when you’re asleep. When your body’s ready, it will just happen.”

  “Right,” she said, thinking it couldn’t be that easy. The beginning certainly wasn’t easy. “My next question is about aging. You said werewolves don’t age, but what about turned wolves?”

  It was Conner who answered this. “As long as the person is an adult, most of the time they will stop ageing when they’re turned, but people who are in their early twenties will still age a few years. Born wolves mature at around twenty-one into adults, but still age and grow until they’re between, say, thirty-five and forty-five.” He took a breath before continuing. “I would guess you wouldn’t age anymore, your body seems mature enough.”

  Staying twenty-six for the rest of her life was a major bonus in her opinion.

  “My next question is more of a request really. I was wondering if I could see both your wolves. I saw a glimpse of Conner’s but I want to really see them. If it’s a problem, it’s okay, I won’t mind,” she lied.
