I rolled my eyes, “Yes, I knew you would after she got stabbed.” Robert laughed, “No, well before. Since I saw Lexi in your club that night you bounced people left and right for looking in her general direction. I would not let a friend of my Susanna’s be harmed. Your mate means too much to mine.” That I did not expect.

Robert continued, “I know you believe vampires to be soulless selfish shits, but she means everything to me. I will not let Lexi be harmed because I am a selfish bastard and I do love Susanna. Lexi may not realize the influence she has on her people, but she always made Susanna feel like she had a home.” I linked Matt, “What?” He replied, “Her parents are assholes.” Sure, that answered that.

Robert hissed, “Susanna’s parents are indifferent about her. I recently discovered the reason she’s adopted. Her family would do well to stay in the Shroud. I will not be kind to them should they leave.” I was stunned, “She’s Hood though. She’s fast like they are.” Robert nodded, “Her parents are believed to be dead. They never came home from a mission, but their names are buried in magic. I’m working to figure that out.” I felt for her there, my mother was murdered.

I sighed, “Susanna aside; We aren’t going to agree here. I understand your reasons, and you understand mine. We can agree to disagree because if this was my plan and it was Susanna in the apartment, you’d feel the same way. You’d probably try to kill me.”

King Arthur stood, “We came to explain, that’s all.” I said, “I understand, and I respect it. Honestly, we all know most vampire regimes wouldn’t have bothered to make the preemptive move. They’d have waited for me, and they wouldn’t have been as cordial. I just hate the thought of her in danger. It’s happening more often than not lately.”

Robert admitted, “I don’t envy you, but our mates are warriors down to their very souls.” I nodded, “I know that. Do you know your mate’s moniker?” He chuckled, “The interworking’s of my relationship aren’t up for discussion. I will say information is easy to find if they want you to know. I’d say the signs about your mate are in your face, and you’re not seeing them.” Huh? They left my office.

Susanna said, “One second guys.” She walked into my office and closed the door. I raised an eyebrow, “Your vampire won’t like this.” Susanna laughed, “Of course he won’t, but I have a mind of my own. I wanted to talk to you.” I gestured for her to sit, “So talk.”

Susanna leveled me with a look, “I love Lexi she’s like a big sister to so many of us Hood members. I’m actually a few days older, but that doesn’t actually matter. I made Robert walk me through all of this before I let him present it to Lexi. I know you don’t like it, but honestly Lexi has walked into far more dangerous situations.”

I probed, “You have a moniker too, don’t you?” Susanna laughed, “I do.” I asked, “Does your vampire know what it is?” Susanna laughed again, “I have not officially told him, but I have a meeting scheduled with the Hood to request permission. It keeps getting rescheduled but as Robert keeps telling me, we have time. Us Hood members find a way to tell without telling. Something you should keep in mind.” These cryptic comments were getting to me.

Susanna said, “I want you to know I want to protect Lexi too.” I sighed, “I know she feels the same way about you.” Susanna smiled, “Another reason I wanted to talk to you. I wanted to explain a bit about her to you.” I raised an eyebrow, “Ok.”

Susanna took a deep breath, “Lexi feels like she failed me. She was present when Noah attacked me, and she didn’t stop it. After Noah broke her heart, she was very single mindedly focused on making her moniker’s name known and feared. She was desperate to make her brother proud even though he already was. She takes failure very seriously.” I understood that. As an Alpha that was my mindset too.

Susanna continued, “She guards so much of her heart, and with you it’s on open display. I know that you’re married. Don’t break her heart Alpha Chase, or I fear no one will ever see it again.” With that she turned and opened the door. Robert was pacing. He shot me a glare, but quickly turned at the confused at the look on my face.

Derrick closed the door. My dad asked, “Chase?” I whispered, “I’ll crush her.” Pain coursed through me. “If she finds out I’m married it will crush her.” My dad put a hand on me, “Son, you know I think you should tell her, but she’s asked you not to tell her. She even asked me not to tell her.”

Derrick said, “I think it could hurt her, but she’d eventually let you explain. It was her idea to not know. She’d have questions.” I sighed, “This is going to blow up in my face. I just know it. I just can’t lose her.” Lexi said, “You won’t lose me.” We all glanced up startled. My office door had opened, and we missed it. Matt said, “Ok, well everyone out.”

Lexi waited until the last person had left. She turned to me, “Chase, you’re not going to lose me. There’s a risk with the plan, but I’ll be ok.” I sighed, “I wasn’t talking about your plan. I was talking about me.” Lexi frowned, “What do you mean?”

I said, “Promise me something.” Lexi smiled and crossed the room to me. She straddled my lap, “Anything.” I put my forehead on hers, “When my situation comes out, promise you’ll talk to me.” Lexi asked, “What do you mean?” I pleaded, “Just promise me even if you want to yell, throw things, hit me, or however you feel that you’ll talk to me.” Lexi said, “I promise that I’ll talk to you. I might need space, but I’ll talk to you eventually.”

I put my forehead on hers. “I love you so much.” Lexi kissed me deeply. I needed her. I needed to be inside her, and I needed to connect with her. I ripped her shirt off. She giggled but I covered it with my mouth.

I slid my hand up her chest. I squeezed her nipple and she moaned into my mouth. I pushed her skirt up and slid my fingers into her. She was so wet. I smirked, “You are so wet for me, Sweetheart.” Lexi whimpered as I settled her back on the desk.

I told her, “I’m going to make you scream for me.” Lexi was panting with need. I started to move my fingers inside her. I felt her start to clench around me. I leaned forward and bit her ear, “You don’t come until I say.” She gasped. I pinched her nipple. She jerked against me.

I ordered, “Say yes, Lexi.” Lexi responded, “Yes, Alpha.” I groaned. I worked my fingers faster while playing with her nipples. Lexi looked at me with wild eyes as she dug her own fingernails into her hands trying not to come.

I withdrew my fingers and lowered myself. I spread her lower lips with my fingers and dove in my tongue. She whimpered and writhed against the top of my desk. After fifteen minutes her eyes were wild and desperate. She begged me, “Chase please…. please I need to…”

I inserted my fingers and curled them deep within her. I placed my thumb on her clit hard. I commanded, “Come for me, Sweetheart.” I hadn’t even had the words out of my mouth before she was screaming my name, “FUCK! CHASE!” I chuckled, “I plan to fuck you all night long.”

She held onto my shoulders shaking violently in the aftershocks of her orgasm. I whispered in her ear, “Turn around. She hopped off the desk and bent over it. I smacked her on the ass. I told her, “Grab the front of the desk and hold on.” She nodded.

I grabbed a butt plug from my desk. I said, “Open your mouth.” She did and I put in it. She smirked commenting, “Kinky.” I asked, “Do you want to?” Lexi nodded. I was so hard. I pulled out a vibrator and a whip. I teased her with the vibrator until I told her, “Open your mouth.” She did, and I grabbed some lube.

I traced my fingers around her anus. She didn’t even tense. I slid a finger in and groaned, “You’re tight everywhere.” I inserted the plug. She gripped the desk and groaned. I asked, “Are you ok?” She nodded. I slid the vibrator into her. She screamed, “Oh God!” I laughed, “Thanks but I’m not a god.”

She started to laugh, but then I started tracing my fingers around her clit. Flicking my fingers back and forth across her slick wet folds. She moaned. I made her come three more times before I removed the vibrator. I gripped her hips and lined myself up. I slid into her slick wet folds.

Lexi gripped the desk, “Oh god…. Chase please…” I was barely restraining myself. I leaned forward, “Please what?” Lexi whimpered. I pulled out and slammed back into her. I spanked her. “Please what Lexi?” Lexi begged, “Fuck me hard, Chase.” I growled and bit her neck.

I pulled back and slammed into her. I pounded into her repeatedly. I growled, “I love how tight you are. I think about being buried inside you all damn day. I’m addicted to your scent, and your face when you come. Everything about you draws me in like a moth to a flame. You’re so damn addictive. I’ll never give you up, Sweetheart. You’re mine!”

I growled gripping her hips even tighter. She screamed, shattering all around me. Her walls were clenching me like a vice. I growled my own release. I spun her around and sat down in my chair. I kissed her deeply. I told her, “Make me unable to focus in this room ever again.”

Lexi smirked and lowered herself onto me. She rode me hard and fast, bringing us both to completion again. We were both breathing heavily. She was flush against my chest when someone knocked on the door. I growled.
