RILEY
In the next two weeks, Riley learned a lot more about the shifter world. But she couldn’t heal as much as she wanted. Physically, she only had some faded bruises but emotionally, she was a wreck when she was alone.
The lioness, Jessie, was gone within twenty-four hours of her getting home. Riley never got the chance to thank her but Jessie left a note telling her how sorry Jessie was for what happened to her. Riley privately wished the lioness well and had a feeling they would be seeing her again.
Cameron Slater, after only two days of his secrets being leaked out, disappeared and gave up everything in the process. Brenton then stopped leaking his blackmail on Cameron, but what got out was juicy.
He bribed and spread lies to convince other Alphas to fight with other prides and then he swooped in and took everything left over. He had six illegitimate children outside his marriage, where he already had one son. All of those kids where raised by other Alphas who had no idea their children were not their own. Three divorces laid in the aftermath of that information getting out. He covered up the murder of a prostitute for his son, who had killed her in a rage after too much to drink.
“That’s not even half of it,” Gabe told her one afternoon. “Cameron was a piece of work but the problem is, they all are. That’s why Brenton worked so hard to get us all out of it. We don’t want to be those people.”
“How do they all get away with it?” She frowned, watching Gabe lick her stomach. They were sprawled in bed, with Troy ending up as a pillow for her. They still weren’t sleeping together and it was killing her.
“Because it’s not doing it that’s actually frowned on,” Troy kissed a trail down her neck. “It’s getting caught.”
“Seriously?”
They both nodded and that was that. They had told her that feline shifters were intelligent, cunning and ruthless but she hadn’t expected it to be this bad.
At the end of the second week, she was tossing and turning in her bed, fighting with the nightmares that were ruining her nights. This was the forth one in five days and she had enough. Even Star was getting upset, not sleeping on the bed with her anymore, wanting out of the room since Riley woke up screaming and kicking.
She had been running from the kidnappers, running from Trevor, but was never able to get home. Every time, she never got home, to where the guys were standing on the back porch.
She was shaking when she rolled from the bed and took a deep breath. She stepped out her room and knocked on Brenton’s door, hoping he would answer. She had told them about the nightmares and they made sure she knew that if she had another, she would come to one of them. She resisted the urge all week but this time she was too upset. She had convinced them that she didn’t want to see a therapist since she had them all so now she needed to uphold that or they would call a doctor in anyways,
He opened the door and she saw that he’d been asleep. He was nude and looking down at her with a small frown.
“I was having nightmares again and…” she toyed with the hem of the shirt she was wearing. He didn’t say anything, only took her hand and pulled her in.
She held on to him as he closed and locked the door again.
“It’s okay, Riley,” he whispered in her hair, holding her tight to him. He lifted her and she wrapped her legs around his waist. They all made her feel safe, secure, and small, something cherished and precious.
He met her eyes and she pulled him in for a kiss. It was slowly and she moaned softly in his mouth. When he broke it off, she whimpered. She could feel him hard and wiggled. He then forced her still.
“Riley…”
“Please, Brenton?” She held tightly to him. “I want this.”
He looked conflicted and walked her to his bed and laid her down. He looked down at her for a long time.
“As you sure? We’ve been holding off so you can adjust and get to know us. None of us wanted to rush you. And now this, the kidnapping and how we kept secrets from you…” He was hard as a rock. Riley sat up and stroked him once. She felt him go rigid and she licked his shaft. “Riley…” he growled softly.
“Yes, I want this. I want you and Zachary, I want Andrew, Troy and Gabe. You guys mean so much to me and I’m tired of waiting. If you’re okay with me wanting all of you then I’m tired of waiting.”
“Lay on your back,” he growled softly. “And don’t move.”
She laid back again and watched him. He still wasn’t moving and he sighed.
“Riley, do you know what I like in bed?” His voice was rough and insecure.
“Yes.”
“Then pick a safe word. I’m not going to do anything wild tonight but it should be established now.”
“Universe.” She smiled at him and wiggled her hips. He growled at the sight.
“I told you not to move, Riley.” He leaned over her and pinched one her nipple. She arched her back and moaned. “Such a misbehaving girl.” He pulled her shirt off. He rolled her over and lifted her hips as he got on the bed.
“In bed, you will call me Alpha or Sir,” he growled in her ear. “Is that clear?”
“Yes!” She moaned as he ran a hand over her pussy. He then spanked her and she moaned again.
“’Yes, Sir’ or ‘Yes, Alpha’.”
“Yes, Sir!” She was already breathing hard. This was a fucking turn on.
“Now, I’ve got to get you ready and you will stay exactly as I’ve placed you.” He pulled her black lacy underwear down and left them wrapped her thighs. “Oh, Riley, your are beautiful,” he growled, giving her a single lick through her center. She moaned into the sheets,
He chuckled and leaned over her, letting two fingers slide into her and began pumping them as she gasped for air. Her chest was pressed to the bed and her ass was high, her knees propping it up. She had her arms bent and grabbed the sheets next to her head.
“Yeah beautiful, moan for me,” he growled and moved his fingers faster. “I want you begging for my cock tonight. You’re already so wet, I’m not sure you need that much prep.” He nibbled her ear roughly. “And you won’t be cumming until it’s on my cock.”
She moaned again, louder. He talked dirty to her for the entire time and whenever she got close to finishing, he slowed down and backed off. It was driving her mad.
“Beg me, Riley,” he finally snarled softly.
“Please, Brenton! I-I need you!” She nearly screamed it in desperation. He sighed, pulled his fingers out and spanked her. She gasped from the sudden stinging pain. His hand rubbed the spot gently afterward and the sting left quickly, like it never existed, leaving a warmness to the area. She really liked that.
“Do it right, Riley. And tell me exactly what you want.” Brenton went back to fingering her slowly, making her insane with need. She was even wetter after the spank.
She told him. She called him Alpha and she begged for him to screw her. She begged like that for a long time, shameless and heady.
He growled after she bucked against him, unable to stop herself and he pulled his fingers out.
“Good girls get what they want,” he pushed into her, burying himself full in one confident stroke. She cried out at the size of him. He was longer then anyone she’d ever been with and as thick as Zachary. He fully seated himself in her and stopped moving for a moment.
“I hope you’re ready for just how hard I can be, beautiful.” He then began pounding into her. She begged and pleaded for more and more. “Fuck yeah, you just had to be a screamer,” he growled happily. “Wake up everyone in the fucking house, Riley. Let them hear how fucking happy you are. Let them know how much I please you.”
He grabbed her hips with both hands, hammering into her as the bed rocked underneath them.
“Grab the headboard,” he snarled. She pushed herself up and reached for the headboard, holding on to the top as tight as she could. He continued to fuck her harder then she’d ever experienced. She was lucky shifters healed fast or the injures she’d gotten would have made this impossible.
“Brenton!” She screamed as he rammed her. “Oh God!”
She felt like she was being split in two. He was so big and rough that she wasn’t sure she could handle a round two in the same night.
The bed creaked loudly now with every one of his thrusts. She had to hold herself from being knocked down, her breasts bouncing from the force. And she screamed in pleasure, completely unadulterated.
One of his hands traveled off her hip, down her belly and between her legs and he rubbed her clit with none of the gentleness she knew he possessed. All it did was make her shake more and scream louder, his name echoing off the walls of the room.
“Cum on me, beautiful.” He snarled at her. “Now.”
She did. It took her by force and made her quiver, her muscles rippling strong around him and he only pumped into her once more before shooting hot seed into her.
They were both panting when it was over and he fell on the bed next to her. She collapsed straight down, completely sated.
“Fuck, Riley,” he groaned in her ear. “Let me clean you up before you pass out.”
She only nodded a little bit and he left the bed, returning with a warm, wet washcloth. He ware caring and soft as her wiped her down, pulling her panties completely off. It was like the man who cared for her was a totally different person then the one who had just blown her mind. She was half asleep when he finally tucked into bed next to her and held close, spooning her. She didn’t have any nightmares for the rest of that night.
When she woke up, he was kissing her neck and ear. She moaned and arched into him. He growled. She was sore but couldn’t resist the cock the was nestle against her ass.
“Beautiful,” he snarled in her ear.
She just moaned and he was in her before anything else could be said. It wasn’t rough like the night before. He fucked her leisurely, with strong and slow strokes.
She climaxed on him and he filled her again, panting onto the back of her neck.
“We need to get ready for the day, Riley,” he growled softly. “I have a long drive to Denver. I could stay in this bed with you all fucking day… I want to but Denver is calling.”
“Can I stay in bed all day?” She pushed into the pillow she had claimed and he chuckled.
“After a shower and some breakfast, you can do what ever you want, beautiful.”
With that, he carried her into the shower and got her clean. She was happy and she could tell he was trying his damnedest not to fuck her again. He was hard by the the end of the shower and forced her back to her own room wearing only one of his shirts. He’d begged her to go before he bent over the dresser.
She saw no one in the hall before she closed her own door, chuckling over his desperation.
She dressed slowly, enjoying the content and satisfied feeling in her bones. She left her room and still saw no one.
In the kitchen, Andrew was nursing a cup of coffee, dark rings under his eyes. He watched her, an unknown emotion his eyes. She looked to the bar and saw Troy sleeping on his arms and Gabe watching videos, rings under his eyes too. Zachary just looked a bit cranky.
“What’s wrong?” She looked between them all.
Troy’s head snapped up and he stared at her. It was playful, a bit taunting. Gabe closed his laptop slowly and just took a large swallow of his coffee.
“None of us slept, Riley.” Andrew chuckled. “And we all ended up down here after trying to get off since… well… you make the best sounds. We all knew that already. We just never knew you could be so… loud.”
She blushed, feeling the heat pour into her face.
“I couldn’t have been that loud,” she mumbled quickly.
“You have no idea, baby,” Zachary chuckled. “You have no idea.”
“She’s wonderful, the perfect volume, and you all complain too much,” Brenton stepped into the kitchen and gave her a long kiss.
“We aren’t saying she wasn’t wonderful,” Gabe groaned. “We’re all just mad it wasn’t us.”
Riley grabbed her morning coffee and used the mug to hide her smile. She leaned into Andrew, who was still looking down at her. He took her elbow and moved her to her spot at the bar, making her sit down.
“Don’t look at me like that. I have to go to work, and you looking like that is going to make me want to drag you upstairs to see how well you do repeat performances.” He groaned, hot in her ear before kissing her cheek. “You go back on the schedule next week. Excited?”
“Yes!” She laughed. “I can’t wait to get out of the house again.”
“I was thinking about making you a manager,” he chuckled. “Less actual serving, more yelling at the servers. You’ve worked in the service industry long enough that you need a promotion.”
“Really?”
“Yup and I need you to sign the paperwork to become a co-owner when you come back too.”
“Andrew!” she put her mug down. “Why?”
“Why not?” He shrugged, grinning at her.
“We want you to feel like you have something here,” Zachary smiled at her. “So we’re going to bring you in, giving you more to do instead of just work a dead-end waitress job. College is hard to do here in Wild Junction but we can still train you in business. Maybe you can start selling you art or maybe want to open your own little store here town one day. An art gallery in Denver, who knows?”
“Guys!” she moaned, taking another sip of her coffee. “You’re wonderful.”
“We know,” Troy grinned. “And I want you to help me design paint jobs for the bikes. I think that we could have a lot of fun doing that together.”
“You are all ridiculous,” she laughed, shaking her head.
“We’re family,” Brenton whispered.
“Damn right, we are,” Gabe laughed.
