***Jeremy was in Ryan’s room, leaning against the door with his arms folded across his chest when Ryan came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. He didn’t miss Ryan’s slightly reddened eyes when their eyes met briefly. He didn’t have to be a genius to know that Ryan had been crying.“Are you okay?” Jeremy’s voice was gruff with concern. He was still shaken by the power Ryan had displayed downstairs.But Ryan headed for the closet without answering him. He pulled on boxer briefs under the towel around his waist, and then went back to the bathroom to hang the towel. When he came back to the room, he went to pull on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. Then he went to sit behind the huge mahogany desk in the room.“How many more must I expect?” He asked quietly whilst booting his computer. “Two attacks alrea…”“Three.” Jeremy cut in. “Mum went to…fight one before she came to the hospital to see you.”“Really? She didn’t look like someone who’d been in a fight.” Ryan said
***‘Oh my fucking god!’ Ryan gasped. ‘You must be kidding me.’‘I kid you not, honey. He will mark you during the act, to show you’re his. The way he takes you will show the pack how much he cares for you, wants you, and how happy he’s going to make you.’‘Sex does not mean happiness, Gloria.’‘Wait till you’re given great sex.’ Gloria muttered, making Ryan thank his stars he was in his wolf form. His whole body would have turned bright red in embarrassment if he were human.‘That is preposterous.’ Ryan couldn’t believe what he was hearing. The whole pack would see his dicks. He couldn’t have that. ‘With all the pubs…’‘No, Ryan. Only wolves from twenty-one going up will be present.’‘That doesn’t make me feel any better.’ Ryan muttered. ‘Then after the sex, what?’‘The various heads will pledge their loyalty to you by kissing the back of your hand. The heads of the warriors, sentinels, hunters, assassins, medics, scouts, pup watchers, and the omegas. Each Beta and Elder would have t
***Jeremy hadn’t even heard the ping of the elevator because he was too engrossed in what he was doing…compelling Isabel to leave his mate alone. When he heard Ryan’s angry growl, he felt his blood turn cold in his veins because he knew how the scene of him and the naked Isabel must have looked to his mate. Fuck! But before he could even speak, Isabel was torn forcefully from his grasp so fast it was almost a blur. He heard her terrified whimper and turned his head to see Isabel, held against the wall by an invisible force. She couldn’t break free. Jeremy turned his eyes on his mate. This time, his hand wasn’t even up as it had been with Katie. Ryan was holding Isabel with his mind.“Ryan, it’s not what you think,” Jeremy said gently. “Let her go.”“What am I thinking?” Ryan asked with dangerous softness, his eyes on Isabel.“I…I don’t know.” Jeremy gasped when it finally dawned on him. Ryan had blocked him out. Though they were linked, he couldn’t read Ryan’s thoughts because his ma
***Ryan sat in the Jacuzzi with his eyes closed in pleasure, listening to Jeremy’s voice as he spoke to someone on phone. Jeremy was on the phone when Ryan had come in with a towel around his waist. He’d gestured for him to go into the bathroom whilst he continued his conversation. There was an opened bottle of Krug Clos d’Ambonnay with two filled glasses on the ledge of the Jacuzzi when Ryan entered Jeremy’s huge bathroom. He’d sat back in the bubbling water and helped himself to the smooth, expensive champagne although he wasn’t really a fan of alcohol. But he’d been through a lot that day, Ryan thought. A little booze wouldn’t hurt, he told himself. And so far, Ryan was loving both the champagne and the exquisite feel of the massaging heat against his body. He didn’t even notice when Jeremy stopped talking.“Feels good doesn’t it?” Ryan heard Jeremy right beside him and opened his eyes.“Feels great.” He purred, pointing at the bottle of champagne. “Trying to get me drunk?”“I hav
***Maybe it was because skin was touching skin, or it was the excitement brought on by their upcoming mating ceremony... But that kiss was more intimate, intense and explosive than any of their previously shared kisses. They both wanted it…wanted that rush that kissing each other never failed to bring. It was wild and mind-numbingly good. When Ryan began to unconsciously gyrate against the rock-hard cock beneath his arse, Jeremy groaned as though he was in pain. The alpha tore his mouth away with a gasp, his eyes wild.“Don’t do that.” Jeremy gasped breathlessly against Ryan’s swollen lips. “I don’t want to lose control.”“I’m sorry.” Ryan whimpered, his eyes fluttering shut. “But I need to...” Even as he spoke his hand slipped between them to grasp his hard throbbing dicks. “I…” He trailed off when Jeremy pulled his hand off his dicks. “Jer, please…” Ryan sounded desperate. “I can go to my room if…”“You’re not going anywhere, Ryan.” Jeremy rasped. “You beat off too fucking much.”“
***“Play with your nipples. And give me your tongue.” Jeremy instructed and then watched with lust as Ryan began to twist and pull on his nipples. His mate was so sexy it wasn’t funny. With a groan, he closed his mouth around Ryan’s offered tongue and expertly gave it a slow sensual suck.Ryan felt that tug right inside his throbbing dicks. It was so electrifyingly good he moaned lustfully and bucked against Jeremy, causing the full length of that thick finger to slide completely into his channel… hitting something inside him that caused a bombardment of sensations to explode through his whole body. Ryan’s brain short-circuited. His eyes widened with astonishment and then squeezed shut as his body jerked in reaction. He tore his mouth away from Jeremy’s and threw his head back with a loud cry of uncontrollable pleasure as his entire body stiffened against Jeremy.“Bullseye!” Jeremy whispered, the tip of his finger rubbing against the nub he’d read about. The prostate. The pleasure bu
***“See you tomorrow,” Ryan said quietly when they got back to Jeremy’s room after a quick shower.“Hey, sleep here tonight,” Jeremy said softly. “Please.”“Jeremy…”“You’ve slept here before…”“As a wolf.”“So… This time it will be just two men…relaxing in bed. Just being with each other.”“Is that one of your…wishes too?”“You have no idea...” Jeremy said gruffly. “Please Ryan.”“Alright, alright.”“Thanks.” Jeremy extended his hand to Ryan with his palm turned upward. At Ryan’s confused look, he gestured towards the towel wrapped around his waist. “Towel.” Without a word, Ryan removed the towel and gave it to Jeremy. “Go in and sleep on the side you prefer,” Jeremy said, gesturing towards where his all-white, massive bed stood on a platform, behind a transparent sliding door. Then he went back into his bathroom to hang their towels.Ryan lounged in the comfortable huge bed and watched as his gloriously naked mate closed the sliding door that cut off the bed from the huge suite. He
***Jeremy moaned in his sleep. He was having the most incredibly erotic dream. He was standing under a waterfall with Ryan. Ryan was in his arms, with his arms and legs locked around him as it had been during their kiss in the arena. But this time around, they were both naked with Jeremy slowly fucking into Ryan. Somehow, Jeremy knew it was a dream. Hell, he was fucking a willing Ryan. That was too good to be true. But that was one dream the alpha didn’t plan on waking up from. Jeremy moaned throatily when Ryan licked and sucked at the side of his neck until he felt as if he was on fire even though he stood directly beneath the falls.“You smell so good.” Jeremy heard Ryan murmur against his neck between licks. “Damn, I love your body.” Ryan’s words were muffled against his flesh but Jeremy heard him perfectly. “Jeremy…” A whisper. But his name on Ryan’s lips flooded him with such delicious pleasure Jeremy’s eyes fluttered open. And that’s when illusion melded with reality.The first
***Ryan’s eyes went to the clock on the wall immediately his eyes opened. It was already past noon. He noticed immediately how different he felt. His senses were heightened…sharper. Although he was lying down, he felt energized. He felt as if he could do anything. For a moment he closed his eyes, allowing the energy to flow through him. Ryan couldn’t help but wonder where all that vitality was coming from. When he opened his eyes again, he looked down to see what was causing the slight weight on his stomach. A smile lit up his face when his eyes met the beautiful blue ones of his mate. They were slightly reddened but the blue still stood out.Ryan didn’t have to be a genius to know the cause of his mate’s reddened eyes. Hell, he could feel the wetness on his stomach where Jeremy’s head lay. He’d pushed Ryan’s t-shirt up to enable him have contact with the flesh. He was no longer naked as he’d been in his Ojah state, earlier. He’d pulled on black sweats and a black t-shirt. Jeremy loo
***“Too much emotion can bring a warrior to his knees. What Jeremy felt when he felt the presence of that baby…I’ve never felt before.” He rasped. “That intense, unconditional love… It was shocking, it was unexpected, it was overwhelming, and it reduced him to a position of complete submission. If he gets the slightest feeling that you don’t want the baby, it will destroy him. So I ask again; don’t you want the baby?”The relief that washed over Ryan was instant. He’d heard all that he needed to. “I want it.” And Ryan realized he’d meant nothing more. That baby growing inside him was part of him and he loved it already.“Good.” The Ojah looked relieved.“So he’s okay with it?” Ryan asked in a small shaky voice. “He’s not freaked out by my abnormality?”“Your…” The Ojah growled low in his throat. “You really need to stop thinking that way about yourself. Remember that very first hand-job he gave you? In the hospital, after I’d…” He trailed off. At Ryan’s nod, he continued. “Did you se
***Alpha Jeremy Stanton shot out of bed. He turned his head to make sure that his mate was beside him in bed. Ryan was sleeping peacefully on his back with his face turned towards Jeremy. The alpha got out of the bed but didn’t move away from it. Something had woken him up. Better still, someone had. Someone was in the room with them. But who would risk being caught snooping in none other’s room than his, Jeremy wondered. He could hear a heartbeat besides that of his mate. It was faint but it was there. Apart from the heartbeat, he could smell whoever it was. It was a sweet scent, almost like Ryan’s. Maybe whoever was in the room with them wasn’t a threat. But what did the person want in the first place?Jeremy moved away from the bed but stopped when he noticed that the further he moved away from the bed, the fainter the heartbeat got. He crouched down and looked under the bed but there was no one there. He looked down at Ryan’s face, angelic in repose, and listened to his heartbeat
***“Get the fuck out of here, Stan,” Jeremy said lazily as his fingertips tenderly stroked Ryan’s, cheeks and jawline. “Better now?” Jeremy’s voice dropped to the sexy bass rumble that never ceased to melt Ryan.He nodded. “I needed that.”“I know.” Jeremy’s eyes shone with so much love.“Can you unfreeze these old folks now?” Stan stood staring at the monitor, his hands on his lean hips. “Damn, this is one interesting read.” He muttered. “Even to my unprofessional eyes.”Jeremy laughed when Ryan buried his face against his neck with a groan. Now that he was down from his high, he was suddenly mortified he’d acted so shamelessly.“You can always freeze his arse, you know.” Jeremy drawled.“Oh hell, no,” Stan growled, making a dash for the door. That got him raucous laughter from both Jeremy and Ryan.The satiated couple got themselves presentable after Jeremy cleaned them with his boxers. Then they got back into the position they’d been in before Ryan froze the three. Unlike before,
***“Okay, that’s it,” Ryan growled. “I need to… Call him Deloris.” He swung his feet off the bed and sat up. The monitor went crazy.“Alpha Ryan, please.” Dr. Sanders quickly attached one of the electrodes that had fallen off Ryan’s chest.“Ryan you have to fight it.” Deloris ran her hands through the hair of the agitated werewolf.“I can’t anymore.” He grunted. “I don’t want to. It’s becoming too painful to ignore. Please, Deloris. I need him.”Deloris turned to look at Mama Cora with desperate eyes. They had been in the room for a little over an hour. Between Deloris and Mama Cora, they’d had to constantly calm Ryan down. Unfortunately, their spells were no longer working on the nerves of the alpha’s mate. Dr. Sanders claimed he needed just about forty-five minutes more to complete the whole test.“Call him.” Mama Cora said quietly. They could all see how aroused Ryan was. No one could miss that obscenely blatant bulge in his shorts. “Maybe he can calm him down enough for us to con
***Ryan heard them before they entered the Villa. He heard Deloris’ laughter and wanted to go meet her but didn’t want a repeat of what had transpired with Stan so he stayed put. When the door eventually swung open, Jeremy entered first, followed by Deloris, and then the rest. Ryan simply stared from his perch on the windowsill. He noticed that Dr. Sanders sniffed the air tentatively before stepping fully inside.“Ryan…” The Deloris opened her arms with a delighted grin. “Come here, baby. We won’t bite.”“Speak for yourself.” Stan drawled, earning himself an elbow from Jeremy. “Ouch.” But he didn’t even flinch. His amused gaze remained on Ryan.“You must be enjoying it here.” Deloris drew a grinning Ryan into a warm motherly hug. “You look great.”“I’m enjoying it very much.” Ryan sighed, hugging her back. “I’ve missed you.”“Same darling. Same.” She gushed. “Everyone says hi. Your mother says to tell you she’s missed you and needs to hear your voice more.” Deloris added with a frown
***“He’s a man, Stanley.” Mama Cora said with an incredulous look. “That’s the most ridiculous analogy ever.”“Just saying,” Stan murmured with a shrug.“Actually, I’ve thought of it.” Dr. Sanders muttered.“Me too,” Jeremy grumbled. “I mean there was what happened with Nash. Then the guys on the Island. Then the alphas…”“The alphas?” Both Stan and Deloris asked with a shocked look.“Uh-huh.” Jeremy nodded. “That day we went to meet the alphas…they were all drawn to Ryan. Wanted to be around him…talk to him… It was almost as if there was a force that was…”“How many days ago was that?” Dr. Sanders asked with a frown.“Six days ago,” Jeremy answered.“Any peculiar irresistible scent…odour?”“Yes actually.” Jeremy groaned. “All I need to do is get a whiff of that mouthwatering scent. Then I’m ready to go no matter the time or place or how exhausted I am.”“Can you remember when you started smelling it?” The doctor pulled out a tablet from his bag and began to scribble away.Dr. Sander
***Jeremy smirked as he watched the chopper land in the clearing. Trust Stan to go for the chopper he thought, amused. Ryan was still asleep after keeping him awake throughout the night. He hoped the three experts who were getting out of the chopper would help him understand what was happening with his mate.“What the fuck happened to you?” Stan shouted with a concerned look as he jumped out of the chopper whose blades were still whirling.“What do you mean what happened to me?” Jeremy frowned with confusion.“You look sick, man,” Stan stated bluntly as he strolled towards Jeremy. “You look like you haven’t had any food or any sleep in weeks. What the fuck is going on?” He asked, giving Jeremy a one-armed hug.“I feel fine, asshole.” Jeremy growled, extending his hand to shake Dr. Sanders’. “How are you doc?” He smiled at the head physician of Stanwood pack.“I’m good, Alpha.” The elderly doctor responded, observing Jeremy warily.“See the way he’s looking at you?” Stan rasped. “You
***“Please, Jer.” Ryan whimpered, feeling his whole body tremble with aftershocks. Even those were intense. “No more…”“One more,” Jeremy murmured as he leaned down to lick Ryan’s wound close. “I want you to come one more time.” He took Ryan’s lips again in a tender kiss. Then he raised his head to look down into Ryan’s pleasure-ravaged face. Damn, he loved watching Ryan lose it. “Wrap your legs around me, baby.” The alpha of alphas’ voice oozed so much sexiness Ryan moaned and did as instructed, giving himself over to the pleasure that he was already feeling along his spine.This time, Jeremy made mad, slow, passionate, sweet love to his mate. He expertly stroked his cock inside him, rubbing over and over that tender bundle of nerves that pulsed with so much sensation Ryan drooled. They moved in unison, so in tune with each other’s needs. Each gave exactly what the other craved. They were totally in sync with each other, making their love-making intense, erotic, and breathtakingly s
