Betrayal and Dinner

When Lexi woke up, she looked over to see Chase sleeping beside her. The memories of the night before hit me like a tidal wave. I grabbed my phone. I checked my text messages. Heath had replied we could meet anytime just to let him know when. I knew I needed to be with Chase today. Not just for me, but for him too. He was really shaken by what happened last night. I texted Heath back.

Me:Can we meet first thing tomorrow in my office?

Heath:I’ll be there.

Me:Do you sleep?

Heath:It’s after noon sleepy head.

I was startled then looked at the time on my phone, seeing it was in fact after noon. It was almost one o’clock. I traced my fingers over Chase’s arm. His eyes opened immediately. He smiled, “You’re beautiful.” I laughed, “You’re biased.” He rolled over on top of me, “I need you, Lexi.” I smiled, “You have me.” He kissed me.

It was a soft but urgent kiss. It was as if I could feel his tension and fear from last night fading away as our lips connected. He kissed my jaw then down my neck. Once he got to my breasts he sucked on each nipple. It was insane how wet I was from that alone.

When his tongue darted out, I couldn’t stop my moan. He chuckled against my skin while I breathed heavily in anticipation. He made his way down my body, groaning when he reached my core. He told me, “You smell so damn good, Sweetheart.”

He gently licked my clit and I jumped. He laughed again biting the inside of my thigh playfully then hard. He used his finger to play with my clit until I was breathless then entered me with his finger. I moaned, “Chase….” He answered, “Yes, Sweetheart?” I couldn't form words so he took advantage.

He was working his finger inside me. When he entered the second finger he put his mouth back on my clit. I was falling apart in seconds clutching the sheets and screaming his name. He didn’t stop. He kept going until I was practically my own puddle. He smirked at me before he kissed my lips.

My legs were shaking from the countless orgasms that his fingers and tongue had given me. I’d give him shit about his smirk, but what could I say? You win the oral sex and fingering awards. Not much of a zinger. Maybe he should smirk.

He kissed me for a brief moment before he pulled back asking, “Do you taste yourself on me?” I nodded. He pinched my nipple, “Answer out loud.” I groaned, “Yes, I do.” Chase chuckled, “Do you like it when I tell you what to do?” I whimpered in response.

He lightly tapped my nipple with his palm. He repeated, “Do you like it?” I squirmed, “I…. yes.” Chase grinned, “Is that new to you?” I answered, “Yes, I mean I don’t usually like to be told what to do.” The Lieutenant told me what to do in all aspects of life and I never wanted to be that girl again.

Chase laughed, “Sweetheart, I am going to show you things. I can’t wait for you to show me things as well.” He entered me without warning. It was my turn to smirk as I spanked him. He growled demanding, “Do that again.” I kissed him, biting his lip. I used my other hand to span his other butt cheek. I couldn’t show favoritism. He growled and pounded into me.

I scratched his butt with my nails with one hand, and his back with the other. All that did was spur him on. He hooked one of my legs over his shoulder. I swear, I died and went to heaven and came back to my body. He chuckled as he kept on pounding away. I was a mess. I think I had actual tears coming out of my eyes from pleasure.

I couldn’t move when we were done. Chase got up and went to the bathroom. He came back and he picked me up. He gently laid me down in my tub that I hadn't used yet. He got in behind me. Slowly I came back to myself.

I teased, “Well damn, dude.” Chase laughed, “I have to keep my mate satisfied. I’m not sure I love the pet name dude though.” I said, “I’m so well past satisfied I’m practically a limp noodle.” Chase nuzzled me, “I heard the Troll was no good in bed. I have to be better than him.”

I turned and grabbed his chin, “You are better than him in every way. I don’t think he ever truly loved me. You are a good man, and he is not. I never even orgasmed with him. You’re MUCH better at everything than he ever was. Even kissing.” Chase laughed, “I wasn’t fishing for a compliment, but I’ll take them.” I smiled, “Good.”

Chase gently asked, “What happened last night?” I sighed, “Which part? The part where I met a Hood turned Vampire that was friends with my mom? She discovered her string was a vampire King. She dropped a wealth of information in my lap.”

I took a deep breath then continued, “Apparently, my dad has a big family. My grandparents on both sides were alive as of a few years ago. There’s a second Shroud for some reason that I’ve never known about. My mom’s ex-boyfriend used to hit her and wouldn’t let her leave him. She had to go to my grandfather, the former leader of the Hood, for help.” I was still upset they left us.

I shook my head, “If all that wasn’t enough to digest, then I was attacked by a mark from three freaking years ago. Haley showed up with her wolf. You beat up my security team and were a mess along with Ted. Even Matt looked ready to pull his hair out. Poor Cameron looked like a wreck too. Seriously though, you can’t hit Kevin and Kincade. They couldn’t help that a spell was cast on them. You know they wouldn't leave me otherwise.”

Chase was processing everything I said. I was wondering where the HELL my family was when we were growing up as orphans? We could’ve used that support. They were assholes! I wanted to punch both sets of my grandparents. At this point, I didn’t even know what to think about all of this.

Chase admitted, “I lost it when they didn’t know where you were. Kevin and Kincade insisted you were with Ted, who was LITERALLY standing a few feet from them. Ted insisted you were with me, which I knew wasn’t true. Then shots rang out. All I could think of was I couldn’t help you. I kept thinking what if you were shot and out there wondering if I was going to come help you. I was in a bad place.”

I consoled him, “I understand, but don’t hit my guards. Please.” Chase rubbed my cheek with his thumb, “I would give you anything, but I won’t lie to you. I don’t know if I can tell you that won’t happen. I can’t handle you being out there, possibly hurt, when my men were supposed to have your back. I can promise to try.” I smiled, “That’s a little less than nothing. Let’s go with that, for now.”

Chase changed the subject, “About your mom’s friend, are you sure she’s trustworthy?” I thought about it, “No, I’m not but I didn’t get the sense she was lying. She seemed surprised I didn’t know about my grandparents. She was under the impression my dad’s parents took Heath and I in after our parents died.”

Chase offered, “You could talk to your brother. Maybe he has some information. At the very least he could help you verify what she told you. Did she tell you the name of your mom’s ex-boyfriend?” I frowned, “She said she didn’t know. She said Anne knew my grandparents too, which doesn’t make sense.” Chase clarified, “Anne, as in Ted’s mother?” I nodded.

Chase said, “I’m not saying your mom's vampire friend is wrong or lying, but Matt has great instincts about people. He loves Anne. Let’s just verify what we can.” I admitted, “If she’s not lying, it feels like the people that helped raise me have lied to me my whole life. Why would they do that?”

Chase said, “They may not know. If this is a giant conspiracy revenge plot, Anne could believe your family is dead too. Your parents could’ve wanted that. Or Anne believes your grandparents did something so awful that you and Heath were better off without them in your lives.”

I thought about it and that rang true. I sighed, “That’s true. That does sound like Anne. She would shield me from the world if she could.” Chase smiled, “Based on Matt’s assessment alone, I’d believe Anne is a genuine person. He’s saved my ass more than once knowing if someone is on the level or not.”
