The Wolf's Prey (16 page)

On the way back
to the house I ask, "Mom can I use your phone?"

"Sure." She
replies handing it to me in the back seat. I dial Marta's number
and she picks up after the second ring.

"Hello?"

"Hey, it's me. I
just met the man of your dreams. He's a doctor with dark blonde
hair and blue eyes."

"Where?"

"At the doctors I
broke my wrist."

"Again? You're
such a klutz." She laughs.

I let her
laughter wash over me. "I miss you." I say.

"Miss you too.
When are you coming back?"

"Couple
days."

"How's your real
family?" She asks and I can hear her crying softly.

"You'd love them,
especially Jessica. Next time you need to come with me." I hear her
hiccup. "Marta it’s fine. Don't cry it's not your fault." Trying to
think of a way to cheer her up I tell her, "I had to distract
Lennox from attacking another alpha."

She stops crying
and giggles, "What'd you do?"

"I put my shirt
over his head, while I was still wearing it." I grumble.

She laughs. "I
would've killed to see that!"

Loving that she's
happy again I add, "There's more."

"No way." She
says, amused.

"It was in front
of my dad." I wince remembering.

"You can never
leave home without me ever again!"

I chuckle.
"Agreed." I see that we're pulling up to the house. "I love you,
sis."

"Love you
too."

"I'll call you
tomorrow." I assure her.

"Okay,
bye."

"Bye." I hang up
and give the phone back to my mom as the car stops. I move to open
the door, but Lennox opens it for me.

"That took
entirely too long."

"Did you find
anything?" I ask, almost afraid to know the answer.

"Nothing yet." He
picks up my wrist. "I'll kill whoever did this."

"I'm pretty sure
I already did." Andrew says from behind Lennox. "We're ready to get
started on the next interrogation."

"Don't leave the
house." Lennox tells me.

"I won't. I'm
tired I'll probably go lay down." He walks us inside and kisses my
head before I walk up the staircase to our room.

I close the door
to our bedroom behind me. Grabbing a change of clothes I take a
bath, I'm careful of my cast and neck. Relaxing against the back of
the tub, I can feel myself getting sleepy so I get out and dry off.
I dress quickly and drag myself to bed, snuggling under the covers
I fall asleep.

I wake up when
the sun is just starting to rise. I slept through all day
yesterday. I look to Lennox side and notice it’s untouched. I use
the toilet, thanking God I only have three day periods. I walk
downstairs quietly, I know if Lennox didn't come to bed he's still
with my dad and Andrew. I knock on the office door already knowing
they're behind it. "Come in." I hear dad’s tired voice. I open the
door and smell the stale coffee.

"Have you been up
all night?" I ask, worried. Going to the couch where Lennox and
Andrew are sitting.

"Yeah." Dad
answers. "We don't have any real leads."

"That's bullshit.
Talk to Rachel. She was seen with two of the four wolves we
killed." Andrew states, irritated.

"I told you
Rachel wouldn't do this!" Dad roars, standing up.

"Then talk to
her! Get her story!" Andrew shouts back, still managing to look
relaxed.

Lennox pulls me
into his lap holding me tightly. I can see my father's anger. I
hate to side with Andrew, but he's right. I don't think it’s
Rachel, but it wouldn't hurt to talk to her. She might have heard
something and doesn't even realize it.

"We're talking to
her." Lennox states looking straight at dad. Finally, dad nods in
understanding.

"I'll get her."
Dad replies, heavy hearted and leaves the room.

"Why does he look
so sad? Rachel wouldn't be a part of this." I say.

"She did it. He
knows it too." Andrew responds.

I look at him.
"You can't possibly know that."

He raises an
eyebrow at me. "You're entirely too sweet and innocent." He
replies, smirking.

I look at Lennox
who looks distracted. "Do you think she did it?" I ask
him.

"She did it." He
nods.

"Why? I whisper,
shocked.

He doesn't reply
but looks to the door questionably. Dad comes back in. "She's
gone." He says, holding a piece of paper.

"Of course she
is." Andrew says, holding out his hand for the paper. Dad gives it
to him and I watch as he reads it. "Ouch, she's harsh." Andrew
hands the paper to Lennox.

Lennox holds it
front of us and we both read.

Dad, yes, it was
me. I tried to have them both killed. I enjoyed every day that
bitch you call a wife suffered from losing her previous baby. Now,
she's back and I can't have that. You only have yourself to blame.
Did you once think of my mother before you moved on to that
whore?

I want you to
suffer I want the whole family to suffer. It will happen, I'll have
my way very soon.

She wants my mom
and dad to suffer for betraying her mom? "I thought your first mate
passed away?"

"She did. She
died giving birth to Rachel, Jenna is the only mother she's ever
known." Dad answers, looking completely worn out.

"You need rest.
All of you need rest."

"We're meeting
Rhys in a couple hours." Dad responds, yawning.

"Do you want me
to make you breakfast?" I question, instead of arguing with
them.

"No, I'm fine."
Dad responds still looking lost.

Lennox
stands up and carries me out of the room. "What are you
doing?"

"Going to
bed."

"That's a
good idea, but I just got up." I say, hoping he puts me
down.

He
smirks. "Me too." I gasp at him. We can't have sex in my parents’
house! The woods sure, but not the house!

He opens
the door with me still in his arms. "Can't you wait until we're
back at home?" I ask, whispering.

"No, I
can't wait." He replies, sounding so truthful I can't help but
smile. He lays down on his back leaving me sitting up and
straddling his waist. His fingers run up my thighs under my shorts.
"You teased me in the woods."

I blush.
"I did."

"Take off
your clothes." He orders. "Slowly."

I
hesitate only a second before I start lifting the hem of my shirt.
I go slowly, letting it caress my skin before pulling it off
completely. I watch his eyes darken and shift to climb off of him
to get rid of the rest of my clothes. I feel his eyes on me as I
lower my shorts and underwear, stepping out of them. I hear him
move taking off his shirt and sliding down his pants. He grabs me
by the waist and brings me back over him, pulling me down to kiss
him. His soft lips and warm mouth dominate mine, making me want him
desperately. He sits up and I have no choice but to follow still
kissing him. His hands lift me by my butt and lowers me slowly on
his hardness. I break the kiss moaning loudly, nearly coming apart
when his mouth finds his mark on the good side of my
neck.

I rock
back and forth and he lays back down. He watches me above him and
helps move my hips in time with his own thrusts. When his fingers
find my pleasure point I scream his name. By the time we're done I
start to hear movement in the house and everyone waking up. I
collapse on his chest and he carries me into the shower. I stand
with my arm out of the spray, preserving my cast as he washes my
body.

Could You Be
Any Louder?

Bottom of Form

Lennox
changes the bandage on my neck and it’s around nine o'clock when we
leave our room. We start walking to the stairs when both Jessica
and Andrew come out of their rooms.

"Really,
sis?" Jessica asks, eyebrow raised and smiling widely.

"What?" I
ask, confused.

"He can't
be that good?" Andrew states joining the conversation. I feel my
cheeks burn. Are they talking about what I think they're talking
about?

"I don't
think she could have been any louder." Jessica laughs at my
discomfort.

"I-didn't, um..."

"You're
wrong you should hear her in the shower." Lennox says, grabbing my
hand and moving us forward.

Jessica
laughs even harder and Andrew remarks, "I think she was faking
it."

"Obviously, you're not used to hearing a woman's pleasure.
Does it sound like she was in control of herself?" Lennox growls,
turning toward Andrew. Not again, I roll my eyes turn to Jessica
who finally looks serious.

Andrew
steps up to Lennox, getting in his face. Instinctively, I grab
Lennox's arm and try to push Andrew away. "Knock it off. Why do you
always have to mess with him?" I question, exasperated. Lennox
gently moves me away.

"I think
it's about time we end this." Lennox threatens.

"Let's
go." Andrew nods.

"Don't
you two have to go meet Rhys in like twenty minutes?" Jessica asks,
nervously.

Lennox
and Andrew start to walk down the stairs. I look at Jessica for
some help. "So, he's good? What's your favorite position?" She
asks, calmly smiling triumphantly when Lennox stops on the second
step.

"We
haven't tried them all, but is the wall a position?" I inquire
catching on and smirking back.

"We'll
count it. What do you really what to try?"

"I've
always wanted to be tied up, but Marta says that doggy sty-" I feel
Lennox wrap his arms around me. I ignore him and continue my
conversation.

"I don't
know about being tied up. I think I'd want to do the tying."
Jessica winks.

"Either
would be nice. Lennox has this indent on his stomach, I swear I
could lick it for hours." I almost laugh when I hear his loud
groan. I watch as Andrew storms down the steps and turn to Lennox.
"No, fighting." I say, looking up at him.

"You
won't always be around to distract me." He warns.

"Lennox,
let's go! I can't take any more of that conversation! This morning
was enough!" Dad yells from the kitchen. I hear Josh and Jason
laughing. Mortified I cover my face.

"Why
can't I be quiet?" I grumble. I try to fight Lennox about going
down, but he just laughs and picks me up. At the bottom of the
stairs he sets me down, keeping my head down we walk into the
kitchen. The table is full and there are men standing around, I
guess dad is taking a lot of men with him. I just hope they haven't
been here long. Mom is busy at the stove, so I go to offer
help.

"What can
I do?" I ask.

"Can you
butter the toast? But wash your hands. We know where they've been."
She teases, the room erupting in laughter.
