Their Improbable Mating [Paranormal Protection Unit 3] (Siren Publishing Allure) (11 page)

Jackie smiled and she shook her head. “He’s just happy that we actually get along. I think he was really starting to worry about the two of us not getting along.” Which was the truth. She knew that Allister had been very upset that the two of them hadn’t gotten along, the two people he loved the most in the world.

“If he could have ulcers he likely would,” Aiden commented, looking over his shoulder at his brother. “Thankfully not a human condition we suffer from,” he chuckled. “Eat if you plan on going along with your plan tonight,” he muttered with a wink. “You’ll need the nutrients.”

“He better get enough nutrients as well,” she said happily and began to eat. “Because I fully intend on working every single calorie off of his beautiful body that he puts in and then some,” she told Aiden happily. “I fully intend on rocking your brother’s world.”

Putting his fingers in his ears, Aiden squeezed his eyes tight. “La, la, la,” he sang softly. “Don’t need to hear it,” he kept singing. “La, la, la.”

Walking to the table with a plate, Allister sat next to his bond-mate. “What’s his deal?” he asked, pointing at his brother and his…well, odder than normal behavior.

“I was telling him that I really hope that you bring a lot of calories on your plate because I fully intend on making you work off a hell of a lot of them,” she stated simply and winked at her bond-mate. “Meaning sex. Lots and lots of sex. Marathons of it.”

“Ahh.” Allister nodded and flicked a pea at his brother. “She’s done talking sex for the moment. Eat your meal before she changes her mind.” Grinning at how fast his brother got to eating, Allister shrugged at her. “You should eat as well, you know.”

“I plan on it,” Jackie said with a grin and began to look at the meal she had there before her. “But before we get to do anything that we want to do I really and truly would like to talk to you first, so keep that in mind, all right, Allister? I need to have a chat with you first. Promise me we will talk first?” Because she knew herself. She would likely attack him the moment they got naked or in their rooms.

“We can talk,” he said softly, touching her cheek lightly. “I promise we will talk tonight, sweetheart,” he murmured. Leaning in, he kissed her gently. “I love you, Jackie,” he whispered softly against her mouth.

“I love you, too, Al,” Jackie whispered right back and then impulsively pulled him in close for a hug.
All my heart, all my soul. I live for you, Al,
she told him softly. Pulling back, she then smiled and shot a look to Aiden. “Get that look off your face. I’m allowed to kiss my bond-mate, mister man.”

“Didn’t say a word.” Aiden grinned at them. “Eat your nutrients and protein, female,” he said, wiggling his eyebrows at her. When he felt his brother poking, he ensured that he kept absolutely everything he and Jackie had discussed deeply buried.

“I want a baby,” Jackie told him the second that they were alone in their room. “Al, I want to be a mother. Please.” She knew that he certainly hadn’t been expecting that when she had told him at lunchtime that she wanted something. “I know that we have so much time before us, but I want a baby now, honey, please?”

Blinking at her, he stared for a long time and then nodded. “All right,” he said with a shrug. “We can start anytime you wish, my love.” He smiled at her. Chuckling at her suspicious look, he moved closer. “Did you think I’d refuse you?”

“I was worried,” she admitted. “And I’m glad that you feel that way because I’ve already gone off the pill. Many weeks ago,” she admitted. “So now comes the fun part,” she told him happily. “Now we get to get busy every possible moment that we can since I should have started ovulating today.” Tilting her head to the side, she asked bluntly, “Can you tell? Am I?” She didn’t know what he could do with his sense of smell and all that.

Shaking his head at her, he lifted her hand to press a kiss to her skin. Pressing his nose to her neck, he breathed in slowly. “Your scent has changed slightly, still early ovulation, but it’s possible. Either tonight or tomorrow could see you knocked up, darling,” he teased, nipping at her throat.

“Oh, I love that idea!” Jackie began to peel at his clothes. “In order for that to happen though we should be naked,” she said happily. Winking at him, she pulled at his belt. “Naked, my darling man. I really and truly need and want you naked. Now, please.”

“You seem to be making great progress. Why would I interfere?” he asked with a grin. Though he did pull his shirt off over his head since he knew there was no other way for it to come off without him folding up like an old, rickety lawn chair under Aunt Mary.

“I don’t think that this is very fair, honey, because I really and truly would love to get naked as well.” She all but pouted. “So how about we both get naked and meet in the middle of the bed? Or the wall, or the chair, the dresser. You choose, darling.”

“Well, then you had better get at least caught up before I drop my pants. Because we both know if you don’t then I’ll be standing here flapping in the breeze as you gawk and lick your lips. It’s slightly nerve-wracking and more than a little disturbing.” Especially given the hungry look she always got.

“But you love it when I gawk and lick my lips,” she told him with a grin. “You and I both know it,” she said happily. “And besides, I love it as well. I love watching you move around naked,” she admitted and started to peel out of her clothes, her eyes never leaving his.

He kept his eyes on her face since he knew her game. “Keep going,” he told her as she paused after ditching her shirt. “You have a lot more layers on than I do, darling, and you need to be down to your adorable little panties before I drop my pants.”

“I’m not wearing panties,” she told him bluntly and dropped her pants and then reached behind her for the clasp of her bra. “I figured that you don’t have to wear them so why should I.” She teased him and let the bra fall. “Now then, why is it that I’m so far ahead of you?”

Lifting a brow, he grinned at her and dropped his jeans, kicking them aside. “Now there’s no issue, is there?” he asked, bending slightly to pick her up at her thighs. Lifting her, he spread her wide and set her ass on the edge of the dresser. “Are you wet for me?” he asked even though he could smell her heavy arousal.

“Very,” she panted. And she was. Jackie was so wet that she could feel it dripping on her thighs. “Touch me, Allister. Touch me and feel just how much I want and need you, my love.” She loved when he touched her, loved the feeling of him anywhere near her.

“I think you should show me,” he snapped and growled out softly, watching her intently. “Show me just how wet and ready you are so I can just take you now.” His patience was thin right then. He needed to be buried between her legs and soon.

Reaching out, she grabbed his hand in hers and led their joined hands to the juncture of her thighs. Taking one of his fingers and one of hers, she pressed them up and into her wet and waiting body with a sob of pure and simple pleasure. “Gods, yes,” she whimpered. “See, wet,” she panted.

Grinning slightly, he pressed their fingers in deeper. “Very wet,” he agreed. Stroking her a couple of times, he pulled their hands away and lifted them. Sucking their digits dry as he watched her, Allister stepped in closer. Adjusting how she was sitting, he slid into her slowly, enjoying the sensations of her slick channel.

Jackie’s legs wrapped around him and tried to tug him closer, deeper, but she wasn’t able to. “Please,” she begged him and moved in closer to him. “Come on, baby. Need you,” she told him with a demand. “Harder, baby. Please.” She needed every part of him, and she was more than a little impatient, more times than not.

“Hush,” he murmured, pressing kisses to her neck gently. Rocking his hips forward slightly, he grinned at her moan. Cupping her bottom, he made her lean back against the wall. It gave him more room to play with her. Capturing a nipple, he sucked lightly and slid in and out of her wet, hot depths.

Arching up and into him, she lifted her hips by bracing her legs on his hips. “So good.” She all but purred softly. “God, I’ve missed you today.” Too many hours. It had been way too many hours since they had been able to make love with each other.

I always miss you when you’re not close,
he told her honestly. Which was the truth. He didn’t know if it was the same with other bond-mates or if it was only for a time, but whenever she was out of his sight, he felt ready to climb the walls. Even if he couldn’t touch her, hold her, it was just nice to have her close so that he could look over and see her beautiful and treasured face.

I miss you when you aren’t close either. I feel as if a part of me is missing when I can’t see or touch you.
She knew just how whacked that was, but it was the truth. She couldn’t handle being without him, and if that made her seem like one of those beings that simply had to have her man close, then that’s what she was.

Lifting his head, he drove into her harder and faster. “It makes you a bonded woman,” he whispered against her neck. “The ties strengthen over time but for a while it’s a desperation, a need to be close and in contact. Not bad.” He nipped at her skin. “Not bad at all.”

“I agree.” Jackie shuddered and let her head fall back again. “I think I might just have to train to go on missions with you because I don’t want to ever let you go.” She had trained with SEALs, her covert ops team, but never magical beings. Ever. “There,” she whimpered when he tilted just slightly and began to hit her G-spot.

“There?” he asked, pressing up tight against the spot, making her quiver and gasp. “When will you be going on missions if you get pregnant, love?” he asked her softly, stroking into her again and again, hitting her deep. Not that he was all that happy about her even thinking of going on some of the missions they did, but on the other hand, he also really liked the idea. He was seriously twisted.

“Until I get pregnant I could come on them.” She panted as she pushed back against him. “Oh God, so close, Al.” She was so very close that she could all but taste her impending orgasm on the back of her tongue. “Harder.” She growled and let her teeth brush his shoulder. “You know what I need,” she demanded.

Biting her shoulder to hold her in place without breaking the skin, he pumped into her over and over again. Lifting her legs higher, he barely noticed the rattling of the items on the dresser as they all skidded around and then fell to the floor.

Jackie screamed as she came. The moment that his teeth bit into her shoulder she was completely and totally gone. This had been what she had been waiting on, needed. Her legs were wrapped as tightly around him as she could get them and simply held onto him as she shuddered through one orgasm and then another.

Growling deeply, he wrapped her up closer to him as he came along with her. Closing his eyes, he shivered as she milked him. Releasing her shoulder, he panted hard and braced a hand on the dresser top. His knees were decidedly weak. She did that to him.

Jackie just smiled, her head falling against his shoulder. “God, I love you so very much,” she panted out happily. She was completely loose and relaxed. Squeezing him again inside of her body, she smiled. “By the way.” She pulled back and touched his cheek. “Aiden and I really are friends. We just pull your leg a lot because you are far too uptight, darling mine.”

“I’m not uptight,” he told her softly, lifting her off the dresser. Moving to the bed, he got them laid out and covered. He was a worrier and a thinker. He couldn’t help it. It just was how he was. Others assumed he was too serious or stuck up, but he was also, unlike his brother, incredibly shy, nearly debilitatingly so.

As a kid growing up, he’d loved the fact his brother preferred being in the spotlight. As an adult he’d forced himself out of his comfort zone quite a bit, but when things got tense, especially personally, he fell back on old ways and tucked in on himself. But he wasn’t explaining that to anyone. It was hard enough having a brother that knew the reason he hesitated in social situations.

Jackie frowned and stroked her hand over his cheek. “Why didn’t you tell me, honey?” she asked with a frown. “Because I didn’t know, love.” She had heard his uncertainty and felt terrible for it. “You have to admit, however, that you really have loved having me be so over the top for you, darling mine.”

“I don’t like talking about it,” he murmured softly. “For years, unless Aiden was there, if I was around more than three people my throat just closed up. I hated being in big groups, always have. When we first started working with the Guard, I couldn’t speak. I’d just do my job, get out of there, and pretty much melt into a puddle of nervous goo in my quarters. I’ve gotten over it a little since then, but I still have moments where I just can’t deal in crowds. Having my job helps a bit. It gives me something else to focus on and keeps me going instead of freezing up.”

“All that you need to know, my love, is that we are together, and between Aiden and me, we will always have your back. No one will ever, and I do mean ever, give you any trouble at all, love. This is my promise to you, darling, for now and always.”

“I know, love,” he murmured, hugging her close to him. Pressing a kiss to her neck, he breathed her in. “I wish I hadn’t had to tell you.” He hated admitting any weakness, and that was a big one.

“It’s not a weakness, darling. It’s a part of you. You are the strongest and most amazing man that I’ve met. You are truly amazing, Allister. I’ve never met anyone who’s as strong as you are, as amazing as you are, and yes, as ornery as you are, darling,” she added to see if he was listening.
