Triple Threat (5 page)

Chapter 11

Charise looked up from her computer as Dejah walked into the office. “Ready for lunch?”

“Yeah, let me grab my purse,” Charise said, getting up from her desk. She groaned softly as feeling rushed into her legs.

“Ash and Jazz said they’d meet us over at The Blue Moon,” Dejah said.

Charise walked around the office. She sighed as feeling came back into her legs. “Ok, now I’m ready to go.”

They drove to The Blue Moon and found Ashleigh and Jasmine sitting at the large corner booth. “Hey,” Charise said sitting down next to Ashleigh.

“How’s your plan going?” Dejah asked.

“I’m not sure. Xander and Xerxes were straightforward as always but Xavier seemed very subdued and distracted. He did say that I looked really nice though,” Charise said.

“He could be holding back,” Ashleigh said. “He seems to be the kind of man that has to be in complete and utter control. You probably test his control and he doesn’t quite know what to do about it.”

“I’m surprised you didn’t end up bent over your desk and fucked this morning when you went into work dressed like that,” Dejah chuckled.

“I probably would have if Mrs. King hadn’t come in,” Charise said.

“I bet if you went back smelling like another male they’ll snap,” Jasmine laughed.

“But I don’t want to touch another male,” Charise groaned.

“It’s not like you have to get down and dirty with them,” Ashleigh said.

“So who’ll be the lucky victim?” Dejah asked, smiling.

Ashleigh looked around the room and smiled as she found her victim. “What about him?” She pointed at Loki Lansky, second son of the Cheetah King.

Dejah looked over at Loki and grinned. “Hey, Loki! Come here for a moment.”

Loki got up and walked over to their table. “How can I help you beautiful ladies?”

“We’re needing help for a friend of ours,” Dejah said.

Loki arched a brow. “What kind of help?”

“We’re hoping that you could scent mark Char,” Ashleigh said.

“No can do. I want to live a long and healthy life,” he replied.

“What do you mean?” Charise asked.

“Everyone knows that you belong to the Leo brothers,” he said.

“What?” Charise asked.

“They were in here a few nights ago one of the guys on their crew said that you were a hot babe and they went ballistic. We were lucky that the bar was still intact when they were done. You don’t need my scent to drive your men crazy,” Loki said.

“Hmm. I’m going to go back to work. I’ll see you later!” Charise said heading back to her office. Thank God that they were only a few blocks away.

Charise peaked her head into Xavier’s office. “I’m back from lunch.”

He looked up from his computer. “That was a quick lunch. I have a few questions if that’s alright.”

“Yeah. I wasn’t really hungry,” she said.

She walked into the office and sat down across from him. “What are you wanting to know?”

“I know that there are some things that you don’t talk about. Why are you wearing a veiling charm? Now as your employer I need to know these things to better ensure your safety and the safety of my crew,” he said.

“Is that all you are? My boss?” she asked.

“I honestly don’t know if I am anything more than your boss,” he said.

Charise watched him warily. If she kept on her pendant then she’d be hidden from Ares but also from her mates but if she took it off she’d be at risk. She reached up, undid the clasp of her necklace and placed it on the desk.

Xavier sat still for a long moment inhaling deeply. He growled and came around the desk. “Tell me why you’re wearing that damn charm.” He picked her up, swept the contents off his desk, and sat her down on it.

“I don’t know where to begin,” she said.

“At the beginning,” he growled, spreading her thighs and stepping between them.

Charise bit her lip, pleasure swirling through her.

“If you don’t tell me I’m going to spank that luscious ass of yours until you do,” he growled, flipping her onto her belly. He yanked her skirt up and groaned as he saw her plum colored thong. “God, you look sexy like this,” he said caressing her ass. “Your skin feels like silk.”

Charise moaned as his fingers tickled along the edges of her thong, before stroking lightly over her pussy. She arched her hips up wanting more than just a tease. She yelped as he smacked her on the ass. She glared at him over her shoulder.

“Now tell me why you were wearing that pendant,” Xavier said, smacking her other cheek. He stroked her through her thong. “You’re so wet, it makes me think that you like having your ass smacked.” He tore her thong off, moaning in pleasure as he plunged his fingers into her hot wet depths.

“Why are you doing this?” she asked, squirming in pleasure under his ministrations.

“You’re my mate and I want to know what had you so scared that you had to hide from everyone including your mates,” he snarled and smacked her on the ass again. “Now tell me why you were hiding, I’m not going to ask you again.” He pressed his cock against her and chuckled as she pressed back against him.

“I’ve been hiding from the man my brothers wanted me to mate with,” Charise said. “I was betrothed to the prince of the Southern Den.”

“You’re mine!”

Chapter 12

Xavier snarled at the thought of Charise being with anyone but him and his brothers. “You are mine and I will kill any who try to take you from me.”

“My brothers…” she began to say.

“No longer have any say,” he growled.

He opened his pants and rubbed his cock against her. He groaned as her juices coated him, making him slide against her effortlessly. He pressed the head of his cock into her waiting pussy, stopping from plunging into her. “If we continue I will be making you mine. If you don’t want this you had better tell me now,” he growled.

Charise groaned and pushed back against him, sheathing him in her hot depths. “Shut up and fuck me already.”

He smiled. “Anything my hot little bear wants.” He thrust into her, driving his cock deep.

Charise moaned as her body stretched to accommodate him, then groaned as he pulled back and thrust into her again. She clawed at the desk, moaning and panting as her body clenched, spasming around him. She had never felt pleasure like this with anyone before, except at her own hands.

Xavier reached down and fingered her clit as he continued to thrust into her.

“Fuck!” she shrieked and arched back against him as her entire body seized and spasmed in climax.

Xavier moved his hips faster as he reached for his own climax. He stiffened, his cock jerked, flooding her with warmth he bent down and bit her on the apex of her shoulder.

Charise screamed as another climax took her by surprise. She heard the sound of splintering wood as she clawed his desk. She wondered if he would replace it or keep it since she doubted this would be the last time he would fuck her like this.

Xavier licked his mark and purred. She was his and he couldn’t wait to share her with his brothers. Or have her hot little mouth wrapped around his cock. He groaned as his cock hardened again at the thought of all the things he could do to her. He pulled out of her and went into his private restroom to grab a washcloth. He gently cleaned her up as she laid across his desk. He like how she looked bent over his desk.

“I want you to pack up you things so you can move in with us. And you will be explaining why you were wearing that pendant.”

“You never really gave me a chance to,” she said, smirking at him over her shoulder.

“I suggest you get up or I’ll be keeping you bent over my desk for the rest of the day.” He caressed her bare ass, grazing his fingertips over her skin.

Charise groaned as she stood up, pulling her skirt down. She picked up the tattered remains of her thong. “I guess that you want me to go commando from now on?”

Xavier grinned. “Absolutely.” He pulled her into his arms. “Please tell me why you were hiding from us.”

His office door opened and his brothers walked in. They both stopped and looked at the disaster that was once his office. “I think we missed the party,” Xander said.

“I don’t really mind.we’ll have plenty of them in the future,” Xerxes said, smiling at Charise.

Xander pulled her out of Xavier’s embrace and into his. “I hope this means that you accept us as your mates?”

She smiled and snuggled into him. “Yeah, and now that I’m free of my betrothal I can be with you.”

“Betrothal?” Xerxes asked.

“Yes, before this morning I was betrothed to Ares, the prince of the Southern Ursus Den. We’ve been betrothed since my birth. When we little we talked about growing up and finding out we were true mates but everything changed when Ares went to college. He became distant and hateful. When my parents died he seemed to be everywhere. I saw him at school, the mall, even while I was at home. He even showed up out in the middle of the forest when I went on a camping trip with a few of my friends. I told my brothers but the didn’t believe me. I ended up filing a restraining order and getting a veiling charm from my friend Alexis. When I graduated college I moved out of my family home and into Wolf Haven with Dejah. I knew I would be safe there, and ever since then I have only seen him briefly at den gatherings,” she explained.

“I’m sorry that you went through all of that,” Xerxes said, gathering her into his arms.

“I’ll be talking to your brothers about how they treated you. You’re our mate and should”ve been treated with the utmost respect,” Xavier growled.

Xander pulled her back into his arms. “I can’t wait to make you mine. Will you taste as delicious as you smell?”

She chuckled. “You’ll just have to find out won’t you?"

Xerxes phone rang. “Yeah Graeme?” He listened for a moment. “I’ll talk to Xavier and call you back.” He ended the call and shoved his phone back into his pocket. “A strange bear has been sniffing around the site. The men have even found some tampering with the equipment,” he said.

“It could be teenagers looking for some fun,” Xander said.

“Or it could be Ares. Xerxes, let all the guys know to be on the look out for this stranger and to report anything odd, no matter how small,” Xavier said. “I’m going to go talk to your brothers and find out more about this guy. Xander is going to help you get your things and take you back to our house.”

Xerxes and Xavier both kissed her before leaving.

Xander kissed her on the forehead. “Alone at last and we’ve got to go pack up your place.”

“It shouldn’t be too hard. I don’t have any furniture. So all we’ve to get are my clothes, electronics, and whatnot. But I don’t think it will matter if we get everything right now or if I only pack a few days worth of things,” she said, snuggling into his embrace.

“I love you,” Xander said.

She looked up at him. “You do?”

“Yeah,” he said, smiling down at her. “ I started falling in love with you the moment we met.”

“Would you have still loved me even if it had turned out we weren’t mates?” she asked curiously.

“Yes, we all love you. Xerxes and I just accepted it faster than Xavier,” he said.

“Why was Xavier so against us being mates? I thought everyone couldn’t wait to claim their mate?” she said.

Xander sighed. “Xavier’s had a rough life. When we were younger he fell in love with a young woman named Rachel. They met when we were in college. They had been dating for several months and he even thought she was our true mate. But when she found out that she was getting all three of us she took off. No one had seen her for several days and then her body was found in a park not far from the college. He was completely shattered. Ever since then we’ve been upfront about how our relationship works and Xavier has refused to get into a serious relationship since then.”

“That’s really sad. Now I understand why he acted like such an ass. But I’m glad I now have you three,” she said, smiling up at him.

“Technically Xavier is the only one that has you but that will be rectified soon,” Xander said, smiling at her lecherously.

They locked up the office and walked to his truck. He helped her into the truck and walked over to his side and climbed in. They drove over to Wolf Haven, packed up a few things and took them out to the truck. She was just opening the truck door as she caught Ares’ scent. “Xander!” Then the world went dark.

~              *              ~

Xavier drove up to the Northern Ursus Den. He had just parked his truck when his phone rang. “Xavier Leo,” he said. He listened as Xander told him everything that had happened. “Dammit!” He climbed out of the truck, raced up to the doors and stormed in. “I need to know where Jason and Jaxon are!”

“Who wants to know?” growled one of the men that came running at the sound of the doors crashing in.

“I’m Xavier Leo of the Libaax Pride. I need to talk to them now!” He roared, ready to tear everyone apart.

“It’s fine Grant. We’re already here.” The men parted as two men walked up to Xavier. “I’m Jaxon and this is Jason,” he said gesturing to his brother. “What seems to be the problem?”

“Ares has taken Charise. My brother Xander had taken her to get her things and when they came out of Wolf Haven he was knocked unconscious. When he came to she was gone. I need to know where he would have taken her.”

Jaxon and Jason growled in anger. “He has a cabin on the edge of the forest, just a few miles from Tea Table Rock. We’ll take you there,” Jaxon said. He looked at his brother. “Gather the men, alert Lachlan and Jack that we will need their help. I’m not going to let this man get away with our sister.”

“When this is over you had better be kissing the ground Charise walks on. If anything happens to her I’ll kill you for not listening sooner,” Xavier growled.

Jaxon looked at him, anguish clouding his eyes. “If anything happens to her I’ll never forgive myself.”
