***“Fuck, I really need to take these idiots out of the system.” Jeremy panted harshly when the door to his suite opened to reveal a haggard-looking Philip.“Not the best time.” Ryan gasped breathlessly, rocking back harder against Jeremy. He didn’t even care that Philip was in the suite and could see them. No, he didn’t give a flying fuck. He was on the verge of a climax and nothing was going to stop him from grasping that sweet release.“I know,” Jeremy grunted, thrusting deeply into Ryan from behind. “They need to be able to come in to check on you in my absence.”Jeremy was surprised but thrilled that his mate hadn’t scrambled away from him when Philip entered the suite. They were in bed with Jeremy spooned behind Ryan, slowly fucking the breath out of him beneath the covers. Jeremy pushed himself up on his elbows to get a better look at his Beta. He looked…“Don’t stop, Jer…” Ryan gasped, his body shaking with the beginnings of his climax. “Please don’t stop…”“Not going anywher
***“Fuck.” Philip groaned. “She came to apologize. Said she knew I would be pissed off at her for what she did. Shit, I’m sorry Jer…”“There’s nothing to be sorry for.” Jeremy chuckled. “I just hope she showed you a good time.” He smirked.“I’m a gentleman just like your mate, asshole.” Philip laughed. “I don’t kiss and tell.”“Yeah, whatever. Get out of here man.” Jeremy began to strip. “Talk to you later.”The alpha climbed back into bed and plastered himself against his beautiful mate, smiling when Ryan though fast asleep, turned to face him and snuggled closer. Even in sleep, Ryan seemed to crave his closeness. That was evident in the way his sexy, silken body pressed so close it almost felt as if they were one. Jeremy loved it.Just having Ryan in his arms made Jeremy’s heartbeat quicken. Then he felt his cock stir, throbbing in time with the quickened beat of his heart. Shit, he wanted Ryan again, Jeremy groaned. What the fuck was wrong with him? He thought he’d worn his cock o
***“Fuck!” Jeremy growled as he watched his sexy mate fuck himself in wanton abandon, his skin coated in a fine sheen of sweat. He wanted to lick him all over. But since he couldn’t possibly do so at that moment, he did as he’d been told.Jeremy leaned forward and grabbed those cocks that he’d come to fall in love with. He stroked them for a bit, getting them slick with Ryan’s precum. Then he dropped his head and took as much of the two dicks as he could into his mouth.Ryan went berserk.“Holy fuck!” He screamed as he rose and fell over Jeremy hard and fast, his prostate getting nailed with each downward movement. It was a wild ride that made Jeremy groan around the cocks in his mouth. “Oh fuck, fuck…” The vibration from Jeremy’s groans…the battering his button was receiving… It was too much. Ryan lost it.The orgasm, when it hit, didn’t just wash over Ryan…it exploded through him. He came with a hoarse cry of Jeremy’s name, his entire body convulsing as ecstasy slammed into him aga
***The atmosphere in Jeremy’s suite was a solemn one. It was almost midnight. The only dry eyes in the room were that of Jeremy’s. He was focusing every ounce of energy he had left on acting calm to enable the others relax. But it was obviously not working. Even Philip couldn’t hold in his grief. He kept disappearing into Jeremy’s bathroom to weep.“Dude,” Jeremy growled when Philip joined them after staying inside the bathroom for about ten minutes. “Pull yourself together. You’re the fucking alpha.”But Philip couldn’t even give his usual flippant responses. He just stood quietly beside Stan with his head bowed. Jeremy sighed as he gently rubbed Ryan on the back. He was proud of how composed his mate looked. His eyes were wet but he’d managed not to break down. Jeremy was grateful because he really didn’t know whether he could handle it if Ryan did break down. There was a sudden shimmering of light which made everyone tense up. The High Priestess stood before them by the time the s
***At exactly midnight, there was a loud whoosh sound. The portal that was to take Jeremy opened. Everyone gasped but the kissing couple. They were totally lost in each other. Jeremy knew it was time for him to go. Hell, he couldn’t have missed that dreadful sound. He gently broke off the kiss and hugged Ryan fiercely, practically suffocating him. But Ryan didn’t mind at all. He figured he could get away without breathing for a while. They both trembled, their cheeks wet with tears. They could hear sobbing from some of the people inside the suite but they didn’t let go of each other to see who it was. Both men felt as if their world had come to an end. And there was nothing they could do about it. Jeremy finally kissed Ryan lightly on the mouth…a final kiss. Then he stepped back from him.“I love you, Ryan.” Jeremy’s voice broke with emotion, his heart in his eyes for everyone to see. He heard the collective gasp that went up and also saw the shock in Ryan’s eyes and gave a tremulous
***Ryan stretched and turned his head to look at the clock on his bedside table. It was already half-past seven. He usually slept in on Saturdays but he had scripts to mark so he had to get out of bed. He reached out to pick up the framed photo of his and Jeremy’s wolves from the bedside table like he did every morning, and stared at it. It was a beautiful picture. Ryan smiled, remembering the day his and Jeremy’s wolves had spent the night in the suite. Though he’d been out most of the time thanks to their naughty wolves, that day had been special. Philip had brought him that framed photo the morning after Jeremy’s departure. He told Ryan that their wolves had looked so sweet cuddled up together when he entered Jeremy’s suite that morning after the arena combats, he hadn’t been able to resist taking the shot. Philip had captured it like a pro. It could easily win the national geographic picture of the year award. Ryan ran his fingers over the image of the red wolf in the shot…his ma
***Since Jeremy left, everyone who came to the suite to see Ryan made it a point to announce themselves first. Even after Clara alerted him, they would still announce themselves by pressing the bell at the entrance of the suite before they actually entered. When a surprised Ryan had asked them why the change, Philip had told him how Jeremy had left a strong warning the day he’d left, that no one was to barge into that suite without alerting him first. And that was the exact moment Ryan knew without a doubt that he’d lost his heart to his mate. That night he’d cried himself to sleep. He wished he’d been able to tell Jeremy that he loved him too when he’d told him the day he left. Maybe knowing that he loved him too would have made Jeremy’s pain more endurable. But he’d been so shocked at the words, he’d literally gone speechless. To know he was madly in love with his mate and his mate didn’t even know… How fucked up was that?With a sigh, Ryan left the bed and went to open the door. B
***“Is there a problem?” Ryan asked, taking in Paige’s demeanor.“I think so.” Paige started packing what was left of their breakfast, their conversation forgotten. “We’re all to converge in meeting room two in ten minutes.”“Who and who?”“You, me, Lip, Stan, Mama G, Dad, Deloris, George, Pete…you know George and Pete don’t you?”“George is the head hunter right?” At Paige’s nod, Ryan smiled smugly and added… “And Pete is the head assassin.”“Good job.” Paige moved towards the cute kitchen in the suite. “It’s an emergency meeting of sorts. All the other Betas will be there too.”“Whatever it is must be serious,” Ryan murmured, following Paige into the kitchen. “Why do I have to be part?”“You’re the alpha’s mate, Ryan. You need to know what’s going on.” Paige explained as she washed her hands.“Philip is the alpha, Paige.”“Lip is only acting.” Paige sighed. “When will you get it into that head of yours that being an alpha’s mate makes you an alpha too? Come on, let’s go.” Paige gra
