Cayden put a possessive arm around me and portaled us back to my parents’ place. I shot him an amused look. The one he gave me back screamed ‘you’re mine and I don’t care that you think this isn’t necessary.’ I smiled at him.
I saw a plate of cookies in the living room. I’d eat some and then I’d go talk to my dad. I grabbed a couple, sat down, and thought about it. What was I thinking? How could Melanie be involved? I was overreacting. Rain agreed, “We are. It was just the adrenaline fade.” Exactly. Melanie was living her dream. I was just being selfish and wanted a reason for someone to go get her for my brother.
Hell, I wanted to meet the girl. I think we’d be friends. I wanted to meet Ashley too. Why didn’t anyone want to meet me? I am awesome. Rain snickered, “We are awesome.” I replied, “Right? Why doesn’t Ashley want to meet us?” Rain sighed, “I don’t know.”
My mom looked at me, “You seemed very determined about something when we got home. You had an urgency about you. Now, there’s nothing.” I shrugged, “I realized I was being overdramatic and running crazy on adrenaline. Cookie?” Tory frowned at me. She linked, “Your mom hates those.” She shouldn’t though, they were great. I handed one to Tory who ate it and shrugged.
I handed one to my mom. She snorted, “I don’t know how you guys eat these all the time. You know I don’t like peanut butter.” I laughed, “They are worth it, mom. I promise. They really are delicious.” My mom shook her head, “I’ll go find myself a normal chocolate chip cookie.”
Cayden studied me, “She’s right. You were determined and so was Tory. Now, you both look like you have no cares in the world.” I shrugged. Cayden linked me, “Hendrix said Melanie is in New York. She hasn’t left.” I nodded, “I knew I was overreacting.” Cayden raised an eyebrow but nodded.
Now he seemed agitated. UGH. I’d have to try the hunt thing my mom suggested. Alexander popped in next to us and ate several cookies. He smiled brightly, “There’s nothing like a fight.” Cayden said, “You found that sniper spot quickly.” Alexander shrugged, “It’s no big deal.” Cayden tilted his head, “Umm, yes it is. How did you do it?” Alexander said, “I’ve just got a feel for places our sniper would like.”
Cayden’s eyes narrowed, “How? There is no rhyme or reason. This sniper drives me crazy because snipers do typically have a pattern and an area they would prefer. This sniper rotates between the ground, air, boulders, the list goes on. There is no possible way to pick on a pattern because there isn’t one. It’s just wherever is convenient.”
Alexander shrugged, “I dunno. I just know.” I rolled my eyes, “Have a cookie and chill, mate of mine.” He rolled his eyes at me, but he ate a few cookies. He finally relaxed. He nodded, “You’re probably right. If you’ve got a sense of how the snipers hide, that's a good thing.”
Alexander nodded, “Yup. Maybe one day I’ll find her.” Cayden snorted, “You have noticed it’s a different sniper when you go out than the one who covers rest of us.” Alexander frowned, “You’re right. One of the better ones, but not our sniper.” I nodded, “That is weird. I wonder why.”
Cayden laughed, “Maybe our sniper figured out you’ve got a feel for her hides.” Alexander groaned, “Damn it! Can we ever catch a break?” Cayden said, “Evidently not.” I speculated, “Or she likes you.”Cayden said, “We know that already.” I pointed out, “She could be nervous she’d mess up if she covered his six.” We all busted up laughing.
Preston walked in frowning, “Shouldn’t that thing about the hide upset you guys? Why are you laughing?” I said, “Sometimes P, you just gotta laugh, or you’ll cry.” Preston raised an eyebrow, “Sure, I guess. You guys are being weird.” He walked back out which made us all laugh harder.
I asked Alexander, “You good?” Alexander nodded, “Oddly, yeah. Jase is fine. T, Everly and Kai are good. Mom healed T. Man, it really seemed like they were gunning for him. I was going to go to Jase’s side, but they were AFTER T. I couldn’t leave his side. I’d put them on the ground with Oden and I used my pushing power. It’s like he was a shining beacon to them.”
I frowned, “That is weird. T doesn't really go on rogue hunts, Jase does.” Alexander nodded, “Right? It would make WAY more sense to gun for Jase. Whatever. I’m going to the gym. My head usually clears when I’m hitting the bag.”
Cayden teased, “Because you’re always hitting the heavy bag, man. When else would your head clear?” Alexander playfully punched him in the arm. I smiled teasing, “You two.” Cayden yelled, “Catch you later man.” I popped us back to our house.
Cayden eyed me. I said, “We should talk. Or go hunting.” Cayden smirked, “I’m going to hunt.” I asked, “Don’t you want to talk?” Cayden shook his head, and I bit my lip. Cayden said, “Don’t do that. I’m the only one who gets to bite that lip.” I instantly obeyed him and released my lip.
He smiled ordering, “Run, Cassie.” My eyes widened but the bond told me he was serious. I took off out the back door of the house. I could feel his anticipation and excitement in our bond. I snapped myself into a brown leather type corset with long black sleeves that barely contained my boobs that had gold fake shoulder armor and black boy short underwear with a belt that had holsters and a skirt that showed off my legs. It was completely open in the front with a slit up the back.
I ran past the outdoor training facility. Cayden had pushed our bond down. I ran past our tree, and he jumped out and wrapped his arms around me. He bit my ear, “This is an outfit.” I smirked, “Well, you know me. I had to make it more fun.”
He spun me around and smacked my ass. He ordered, “Run.” I smiled and ran away from him. I decided if he wanted a hunt, then I’d give him one. I portaled because he didn’t say I couldn't. He’d clearly portaled to the tree.
Now I could feel how excited he was even with our bond pushed down. I ran harder and faster. I honestly hadn’t been to this part of the realm before. I knew we were in Aubrielle’s mates' area. She just always brought him to visit us instead of the other way around.
I saw Cayden open a portal and silently climbed a tree. He ran around the area. I bit my lip to stop from laughing. Rain chuckled, “He does look a little like dad did sometimes, chasing his own tail.” True. Cayden smiled deviously, “You think I need to see you to know you’re biting your lip? I told you not to do that.” My jaw dropped. How did he do that? How could he possibly know?
He ran in the opposite direction. I quickly got down, and promptly ran smack into Cayden. He lowered his head and bit my lip aggressively. He pushed me against the tree. One of his hands was tangled in my hair and the other was on my breast.
I whimpered into his mouth as he kissed me fiercely and pumped all his love into our bond. I couldn’t help but smile and push mine back to him. Cayden portaled us back home. He set me on our counter and ripped off the belt I was wearing. He ripped the top of my outfit off next. I was still in the corset, but my boobs were exposed.
Cayden’s mouth lowered onto my nipple. I gripped his hair and whispered, “Cayden.” He pinched my other nipple roughly. His lips released my nipple with a loud pop and his lips were back on mine. I was trying to create some friction with my hips but he was holding me firmly in place so I couldn’t move.
Cayden ordered, “Snap your underwear off.” I did as he said. He whispered, “Lay down.” I did and he pulled me to the edge of the counter. I jumped when I felt his finger circle my entrance. He seductively told me, “Don’t move, My Duchess. Or I will stop.” I gaped at him. His facial expression told me he was serious.
I gripped the counter when he slid a finger inside me. I could do this then he started using his tongue. I pushed Rain back in my mind. She absolutely wanted to move. I wasn’t just a wolf . I was a Hackura and that was the side of me I needed right now. Cayden linked me, “Come for me My Duchess.” I screamed, “CAYDEN!”
Cayden yanked me off the counter and threw me over his shoulder. He smacked my ass hard enough that I yelped. He flew up the stairs and sat himself down on the bed, putting me over his knee. I had no idea why this was turning me on. His fingers played with my clit as he spanked me.
I gripped his calf shocked that he made me come while spanking me. He lovingly rubbed my ass with lotion. Where the hell did he get that? He threw me onto the bed and quickly chucked his shorts off. He told me, “Turn over on your stomach.” I did exactly as he said.
I gasped when he entered me. He chuckled then intertwined our fingers and rocked us both back and forth. He gently kissed me a few times. Once we’d come that way, he put me on all fours and completely changed our pace, pounding into me from behind.
I gripped the sheets, screaming, “CAYDEN!” He gripped my hair lightly and pulled a little. He asked, “Who is your husband, Cassie?” I raised an eyebrow, “Umm…” He grunted, “Answer me.” I replied, “That would be you.” He let go of my hair and gripped my hips. He roared, “YOU ARE MINE!” I whispered, “Yours.”
