Rustling leaves drew my attention. Dec and I both turned toward the noise. A wolf jumped out of the bushes in front of us with its teeth bared. I could tell from Dec’s face that he recognized it. This wasn’t just a wolf. It was one of the hunters. But how had they found us? I stepped in front of Declan, and the wolf growled. I growled back. I wasn’t going to let this monster take my brother from me.

Declan put his hand on my arm and nodded when I glanced at him. “It’s okay, Eli. He won’t hurt us.” As he spoke, the wolf started to shift, its bones rearranging until a human man stood in front of us. He had shoulder-length brown waves and the most haunting gray eyes I’d ever seen. He was also completely naked.

“Did you think I wouldn’t find you?” He snarled at Declan before stomping forward and wrapping his arms around my friend. I stood there in shock. What the fuck was happening here?

“Eli, this is Kayden. Kayden, this is Eli.” Dec did a quick introduction then turned back to the naked man. “You hunted me down? Why?”

“You were super cryptic on the phone. You never ask about my investigations. I could smell you in the woods here but couldn’t find where you were hiding. Where have you been? Are you in trouble?” He sounded like a worried brother, and the emotions that flooded off him matched that.

“I’m fine. You shouldn’t have come. Did you bring the whole team?” Dec was nervous. He didn’t want Kayden to figure out that this was where Delilah was.

“No, it’s just me. Dec, you’re my best friend. I’m not going to let you go through something alone. Who is this guy? Are you being held against your will?” Kayden kept his voice low even though he probably scented that I was a vamp and knew I could hear him. I wanted to see what Dec would do in this situation, so I kept my mouth shut and watched.

“I’m here by choice. It’s a long story. I’ll tell you eventually, but I need some time to get everything together. Someone is in trouble and it’s not their fault. I’m trying to help clear their name.” He looked at his friend, clearly expecting this to go south.

Kayden nodded. “Okay. If you need me, you know how to get in touch. I’ll leave you to it. Let me know if I can help. If your friend really is innocent, they deserve a chance to prove it. Just be careful, bro. It’s getting more dangerous out in the world all the time.” He pulled Declan into a hug, then turned and ran off into the woods, shifting as he went. We stood there, watching after him, for a long while.

Chapter 41

Viktor

Distracting Delilah was more complicated than I thought. I had planned to use sex as a last-ditch effort, not my starting lineup. But here we were, naked and about to get crazy. She was excited, but I could tell she was also pissed about being escorted out while the others were working. I wondered how rough she would get. Usually, things were all sweet and loving, but when Myshka got pissed about something, I ended up being the one to suffer. Maybe I would flip the script tonight and be the one in charge.

I walked over to the closet and opened the door. There was a box inside that had just what we needed in it. She growled at me for leaving her alone, even for a second. “I’m just getting some toys, Myshka. I thought maybe we could play a little tonight.”

Anxiety crossed her face for a moment; then, she seemed to accept my idea. “Okay. Nothing too crazy, though.” Her cheeks were pink with embarrassment. I would have to spend eternity teaching her that sex toys were nothing to be ashamed of. I carried the box over to the bed, tilting it to spill the contents on the blanket. I had a little bit of everything. I sifted through the items until I found what I was looking for.

Delilah grimaced when I held up restraints and a riding crop. “Seriously?” She laughed. I shrugged and set them to the side. I would use them tonight, even if we didn’t start there. I grabbed a vibrator that was shaped like a demon’s tail. It was curved to hit her g-spot perfectly and the tip looked similar to an arrowhead. I had a matching butt plug, but I hadn’t been able to talk her into that since the night she’d been with Eli and myself together. I held up the wicked vibe and she blushed harder. I knew she loved that one.

“Okay, that’s settled. We’ll start with this, then move on to that.” I held up the vibe when I said this and pointed at the restraints when I said that. She growled at me and I took that as a good sign. I didn’t want her to give in if it wasn’t something she wanted. I planned to make her beg me for it. I put the other toys away and grabbed a bottle of lube from the nightstand. I knew that the only way I would need it was if she agreed to anal, but it was better to have it handy than to have to stop in the middle of something to get it.

“How do you want me?” Myshka asked, trying to be seductive. If only she knew that I wanted her every possible way, all the time. I would take her any way she would allow.

Instead of answering, I grabbed her ankle and pulled her to me. Her pussy was still just as wet as it had been when I’d walked away. That kinky bitch loved the idea of playing with all my toys. That turned me on even more. My cock was rock hard and if I wasn’t careful, I’d be blowing my load before either of us was ready. I took a deep breath and pulled her closer. I wanted to taste her before we got started. When she was close enough, I raised her legs and slipped under them, holding her knees on my shoulders.

I let my tongue tease her clit and her seam until she squirted on my face. Her screams of pleasure would probably plague the unfortunate fellows who’d decided I should be the one to distract her. After another orgasm, I spread her legs apart and turned on the devil’s tail. She moaned at the sound and jumped when I touched it to her leg. I slid it up her thigh, over her stomach, and back down her other thigh. Delilah whimpered with need. “Please, Vik.”

“Do you want me to tie you up first?” I whispered, leaning close to her ear.

“Yes,” she breathed back at me. I turned the vibe off, then I grabbed the restraints and tied her hands to the headboard and her feet to the corners of the footboard. She was spread open for me to feast on any way I’d like.

“You know the drill. If it gets to be too much, use the safe word. Tell me what it is.” I demanded, standing over her but not touching her. The first time we’d played with the toys, I made her choose a word to say if she felt overwhelmed. I needed to know that she would use it now if she needed to.

“It’s so silly.” She started to argue. I raised my eyebrows and took a step away, letting her know without words that if she didn’t say it, I wouldn’t touch her. “Okay, okay. Banana. There I said it, now get over here and touch me.” She’d gone from embarrassed to bossy. I loved it. That was one of the ways I knew things were about to get wild.

I stepped back to the bed and turned the devil’s tail on again. Delilah shivered in anticipation. I once again rubbed the vibrator up her thigh, over her stomach, and down her thigh. She whimpered when it came close to her clit but kept moving. “Don’t make me beg.” The request was whispered. She knew that had been my plan. Her quiet request changed my mind. I rubbed the devil’s tail on her clit, and she groaned in pleasure.

Then I pulled it away again. Delilah growled in response. I rubbed the vibrating appendage across her nipples and she stopped. Her back arched as if she could control where I put the toy by moving her body. I shifted it back to her clit and she bucked as another orgasm took over. She was pulling at the ropes as if trying to get free. I half expected her to use the safe word, but she didn’t. While she writhed, I slipped the toy inside of her, letting it vibrate against her g-spot for a moment before pulling it out completely and breaking contact. I planned to tease her in the best way possible. Watching her pussy drip and her body writhe nearly did me in.

I rubbed the vibrator against her clit again as I slid my aching dick across her soaked entrance before sliding it in. “Hard and fast?” I asked as I started to pound her. She nodded, moaning at the sensations. The faster I went, the more she fought against the restraints until she had ripped through them and her hands were free. She pushed me back for a second and tore through one of the leg restraints, leaving the other to hold her. Then Delilah flipped over onto her hands and knees, silently begging me to take her from behind.

I handed her the devil’s tail and watched while she rubbed it on her clit the way she liked. I gasped when she reached behind her ass and grabbed my cock. She pulled me toward her, using it as a leash. When I was close enough, she guided my engorged member into her pussy again. “Hard and fast,” she ordered, picking up the vibe again and placing it where she wanted. I started to fuck her with the rhythm she had requested, moving harder and faster with each thrust. My balls smacked against her clit and the vibrator with each thrust. She screamed my name and I lost control, falling over the edge of bliss with her.

Chapter 42

Declan

When Eli was sure that Kayden had left, we continued walking around the perimeter. There was no evidence that any other wolf or vampire had been in the area. I wondered if Kayden had meant what he said about helping me if I called him. “Do you think you can trust him?” Eli seemed to read my mind.
