***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
