Jordan's Misunderstanding (13 page)

Once she was fully seated, he smiled over her shoulder at Larkin. “Don"t let him fall out.” He said and grabbed the tube of lube and began to prepare her. She felt the sting of one finger, then two. All the while Larkin held her hips not allowing her to move at all. She was crying in frustration by the time Romy had prepared her and both of them laughed.

Romy lined himself up and slowly slid in her. She was so full. Jordan threw her head back and rested it on Romy"s shoulder as they finally allowed her to move. She set the pace. First, she was slow, wanting to feel every inch of them as they moved in and out of her. Then she began to move faster. Larkin circled her clit with his finger and Romy plucked at her breasts while she rode both of them. It did not take long for her to scream her release, but they were not done yet.

Larkin grabbed her hips and began pumping faster. Romy held her up as she tried to slump. Jordan felt the passion rise again and then they all cried out when they came together.

Jordan sighed when they collapsed in a heap and she was snuggled between them. This was home. No matter where she was, as long as she had her men, she would be safe, she thought as she fell into a deep sleep.

***

The next morning came too quick for Jordan. She moaned when she felt someone slap her ass to get her awake. She rolled away from the offending hand and buried herself in the pillow again.

“Get up, sleepy head, or you are going to be embarrassed when Blaze comes to get us.

We are leaving in one hour, whether you are dressed or not.” Romy said and then laughed when she threw the pillow at him.

She crawled out of bed and then she walked into the bathroom. She quickly showered and then smiled when she saw that a pile of clothes had magically appeared on the counter. Her mates had done a little more shopping yesterday it seemed.

She pulled on the tight jeans that hugged her body perfectly. They went to a lot of trouble to make sure she had everything she needed. A small duffel bag sat on the floor by the door. She quickly looked inside and saw that they had freshly washed her dirty clothes and packed them, as well as added a few of more outfits and personal belongings.

She lifted the bag and went out to the living room where a flurry of activity was taking place. People were everywhere, some of them packing boxes and some of them directing the moving of furniture.

She finally found her mates in the kitchen making breakfast and talking to Blaze. They smiled when she entered the room and both came, kissed her on the head, and guided her to the coffee and rolls they had set out.

Blaze continued to talk. “Jordan"s apartment is already packed. We are having it shipped to a storage place in Colorado until your house is ready. Apparently, the builders have gotten to Colorado and found several pieces of land that would be acceptable. They sent pictures. You can pick when we get on the plane. Jordan, your adoptive brothers only gave them a hard time until Quin stepped in. They said they had already started your new home inside the compound.” Jordan frowned and then said, “Why would they do that?”

“They told Quin it was a surprise.” Blaze said quietly.

“Well one of them can have it. I don"t want it.” She said and then got her coffee ready and took a bite of her roll.

Blaze nodded and continued to speak. “Ryan and Ariel will meet us at the plane. We have to be out the door in about thirty minutes.”

Romy turned to Jordan, took her by the shoulders, and said, “You need to call your parents.”

Jordan closed her eyes and then sighed and nodded. She took the phone that Larkin was holding out and walked into the atrium. Taking another deep breath, she dialed the familiar number and waited while it rang. Her father answered.

“Jordan?” He said breathlessly like he had run for the phone.

She closed her eyes when she felt the tears already gather. “Yes.” She whispered.

Jordan heard another click and knew her mother had joined the conversation.

“Darling, are you okay?” Her mother said softly into the phone.

Jordan laughed nervously and said, “I wouldn"t say that, but I am with my mates and they are taking care of me. I"m fine.”

Her father said, “Honey, can we come and see you?”

“No, that"s why I"m calling. I wanted to let you know that I am going to Colorado with my mates. We have everything worked out with the Alpha.” Jordan said briskly, trying to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall.

“But, Sid, Devon, and Casey already left. I assumed you were staying here for a while.

We really need to talk.” Her mother pleaded into the phone. Her voice was ripping her heart out.

“Nothing has really changed. I can"t deal with all of this right now. I decided that I would go to Colorado and figure out what I am supposed to be doing. Our Prime and his mate are going with us.” She said softly.

She heard her father growl and then he said, “Excuse me? Your Prime? Jordan Marie you are part of our Pack, not the Pride.”

Jordan took a deep breath and said, “Technically I am a human. I was never officially part of your Pack. Just cause I lived with you and you raised me. I did some research about that a long time ago. Now that I have been claimed by Romy and Larkin, my life is tied to them. I will have their life span, and be a part of their Pride.” Her mother cried into the phone and she closed her eyes again. She hated hurting them, but they left her no choice when they hid the truth from her for so long. They could have found all of this out a long time ago, but they refused to share information with her.

“Honey, we are so sorry. For everything. We love you and support you in anything that you do. I hope you realize that we are still and will always be your family.” Her father said softly. It was the first time she had heard something like that from him. Usually he was the gruff Alpha who hid his feelings. That was the straw that broke the camel"s back. Jordan began crying into the phone.

“I know, I just can"t deal with all of this. I need time to sort it out in my head. Please just give me the time. I will call you when I get to Colorado.” Jordan said.

“I love you.” Her father said gruffly.

“I love you, darling.” Her mother said and Jordan closed her eyes.

“Loving you is not the problem, trusting you is.” Jordan said and hung up the phone.

What a way to start her day, she thought and looked through the glass at her mates who were watching her closely while they talked to Blaze. She had tears streaming down her face and they came out to her quickly, surrounding her with their love and acceptance.

They stood there for quite a while; Jordan could not seem to stop crying once again.

Blaze cleared his throat form the door and said, “We have to go.” Jordan smiled through the tears and nodded. She went to the bathroom quickly and threw water on her face. It did not help much. But at least all of her face was red now, not just her eyes.

Jordan went out, smiled brightly to her mates, and said, “Ready.” They nodded and Blaze came to her and took her shoulders in his large hands and she looked up at the giant. “Jordan, I have programmed my personal number in your phone as well as the Prime and his mate"s information. You can call us anytime, day or night after we leave Colorado. You are part of our Pride, which makes you like the little sister I never had. I will guard you with my life as will all the Pride.”

“Knock it off or we are gonna be late cause I"m gonna start crying again.” Jordan said and leaned in and hugged the man.

He laughed and picked her up and hugged her. “Okay, mushy stuff over. I want to introduce you to the Warriors who will be guarding you from here on out. They will not leave your side, and you will not try to get away from them. Are we clear?” Jordan nodded and rolled her eyes. “It is for your protection. I will tell you all of the details when we are on the plane but that guy from the chat room is a real threat.” Her eyes widened and she looked behind him to her mates whose lips were pressed together in a straight line, and they looked angry. She tried to smile reassuringly.

“Okay, bring on the men.”

Blaze rolled his eyes and said, “Don"t get any ideas. Okay, this is how this will go, it is protocol, and you have to follow it. You are the Chosen, so you are technically ranked higher than everyone in the Pride, even the Alpha.” Blaze said and she looked up at him in surprise. Romy and Larkin came to her side and held her arm. “That goes for you guys too. Ryan looked it up last night. He was thrilled that you guys are the ones who mated with Jordan. So, when introduced you must stand still and allow the Pride to rub their cheeks against yours. It is a sign of respect. Like you did with Ryan and Ariel yesterday. Also, think before you speak, because what you say goes. The Warriors will come in and pledge their lives to you one at a time. They will bow before the three of you and each of you must touch their head and accept their pledge.” Jordan nodded in shock; her mates had the same look on their face. “The Pack doesn"t do stuff like this.” Jordan whispered.

Blaze laughed and said, “Dogs are less formal than cats. We like all the formality.

Ready? We have to move this along.”

Jordan nodded and stood between her mates straight and held up her head.

Blaze motioned at the door and a man walked in. He was young and handsome. Blaze nodded and the man paused and knelt before her. “This is Cade, Warrior Leader.”

“I pledge my life and loyalty to you and your mates for as long as my life span lasts.” The man said and bowed his head. Jordan looked at him and smiled before laying her hand on his head. Romy and Larkin did the same and together they accepted his pledge.

One by one, Blaze led her new guards to them. Sam, Derk, Trever, Harmen, Rye, Mikeal, Aaron, Kris, Johna, Reno, and Marcus. They all pledged their loyalty and Jordan accepted. She smiled when she thought of all the eye candy she would be walking around with. They were all big, buff, and handsome.

“Don"t get any ideas.” Romy whispered in her ear.

Jordan laughed and looked at him up through her eyelashes and said, “I have no idea what you are talking about.”

“Baby girl, don"t be looking at them like they are a piece of meat and you"re starving for steak, or you won"t sit for a week.” Larkin whispered on the other side.

“I only have eyes for you.” She said softly and then laughed when they frowned at her.

Cade stepped forward and bowed his head slightly. “Just a few rules and we are leaving.

Jordan, you will never walk into any room first. I will be in charge of your Warriors and so I am your personal guard. Of course, when you are in your own home it will be different, but since that won"t be for a week or so, you are going to have to get used to it.

Romy and Larkin, I have assigned men to you also. While Blaze and Ryan are with us, Blaze is Ryan"s Second and his guard. Ariel has her own. Do not interfere with the guards. They have a job and will do it. Follow directions and we will keep you safe.” Jordan nodded at the serious man and smiled. “Since you are my personal guard we have to get one thing straight.” She said.

Cade nodded and frowned. “Of course.”

“Hostess Twinkies and Carmel Frappachino"s.” She said with a serious expression.

Cade looked confused and then replied. “Uh, okay?”

“I have to have this every day or I get cranky.” Jordan said and then laughed at Cade.

“Seriously, your job is to find a place in Colorado to get these before we get there.” Cade smiled and bowed his head and turned. “We are ready.” Blaze nodded and Jordan bent over to pick up her bag. The Guard named Reno smiled and took it from her. “No carrying your own bags.” Jordan rolled her eyes and nodded. She was going to have to get used to this. Jordan was used to taking care of herself. She was going to try to keep her dominant nature in check.

They walked out of the building and into the garage surrounded by her Warriors. It was strange to have this many people with her. Jordan felt like a star, or something.

They piled into the black SUV and drove to the airport. Jordan looked out the window and was silent the entire way there. She was leaving the only home she had ever known and flying off to a new destiny. Her mates held her hand and seemed to know that she was having issues with leaving. Blaze talked quietly in the front seat and it was a little comforting that she liked and respected the new people in her life.

They arrived at a small airport and she looked around in surprise. She assumed that they were leaving from the big one, but she was glad that they would not have to walk through the huge terminals with her entourage. That would have been a little conspicuous.

“Ryan and Ariel are on the plane. Jordan, follow Cade directly to the plane. Romy and Larkin, follow your guards.” Blaze ordered briskly, got out of the car, walked directly to the stairs, and stood waiting.

Jordan wanted to bust out laughing at the seriousness of the men but she held it in.

Wow, they were certainly making sure she was protected.

Jordan walked quickly behind Cade and kept her head down. They hurried her up the stairs and she entered the large personal jet that Ryan apparently owned. It was huge.

Nice cushy seats on either side of the plane. In the back, she saw a galley that a woman was standing in, working. Ryan and Ariel were sitting in one chair together, kissing and she laughed when they pulled apart slowly.

“Sorry to interrupt.” She said and walked to a seat across from them. Larkin and Romy followed her, sat on either side of her, leaned over, and kissed her cheek.

“It"s okay.” Ariel said happily and bounced into the chair next to her mate. “We were just talking about a lovely vacation in the mountains that we are going to take.” Jordan laughed at her new friend"s enthusiasm. She was happy they were going with her because she did not think she could do this on her own. The butterflies in her stomach began as they prepared for takeoff. She was actually doing this. Going to Colorado and becoming one of the Chosen.

Once everyone was seated, the pilot announced they were ready for takeoff. Jordan held her mates hands as they rolled down the runway. She let go of the breath she was holding when they were in the air. The woman who had been in the galley started rolling a cart with drinks and food toward them, Cade stood and looked over the food before nodding and allowing her to pass.
