Convincing Emily [Wolff Pack 2] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) (9 page)

“Do you have any ideas?” He raised a brow and stared at Charlie.

“Not sure.” Charlie opened the fridge and handed him a beer before sitting across from his at the table.

“Do you think that it was a good idea to spank her before driving here?” Cole twisted the cap off and took a sip, leaning back in the chair.

“You told her not to curse, and she did. I reacted.” He shrugged. “She didn’t seem too pissed.”

“Seriously? She didn’t talk for
fifty
hours. The whole drive here in complete silence, even when we stopped for food or at a hotel for the night. She didn’t speak to us. I think that pretty much says…
I’m pissed
.” His brother had to be dense if he couldn’t tell that their woman was in fact more than just a little upset.

“I didn’t talk much either.” Again, he shrugged as if it was no big deal.

“You do realize that women talk. They like to talk if you hadn’t noticed. Nicole, Addison, Harper, and every other woman in our pack talk constantly. They share their thoughts and feelings. It isn’t
normal
for her to sit silently.” Cole growled at Charlie and put his beer on the table. “And would you stop shrugging. This matters. She’s our mate.”

“I know that,” Charlie told him.

If he shrugs again, I’m going to jump over this table and kick his ass.
Cole couldn’t stand the indifference Charlie had. He knew it wasn’t real, but still he just wanted his brother to at least act like he gave a damn about their current situation. Why did Cole always have to be the planner? Why couldn’t Charlie step up and think of a way for them to win their mate over?

* * * *

Charlie stared at his brother. He couldn’t figure out why he was getting so upset. Emily was here. It wasn’t as if that little spanking prevented her from getting in the damn truck. Besides, she’d enjoyed it, even if she didn’t want to admit it. He had smelled her desire the moment he opened the door and climbed into the cab. Shit, he wanted to do it again. He wanted to pull her over his lap. Except this time, he would spank her naked, plump ass. Licking his lips, he thought about her in that exact position and his cock hardened immediately.

It hadn’t mattered to him that she’d stayed silent. He wasn’t much of a talker himself. He preferred actions over words.

The look on his brother’s face was all business, and although Charlie understood the seriousness of situation, he wasn’t worried. They had plenty of time. Soon enough, she wouldn’t be able to keep her hands to herself. The cute little polar bear was already at the surface begging for attention. She was a shifter and knew the importance of finding her mates. It was lifelong, and they lived longer than humans.

The funny thing about this whole situation was how irritated Cole was getting. Charlie already had a plan, and at this very moment, it was in motion. He’d found Emily’s favorite toy the first day they’d stayed at the hotel, completely by accident. When he grabbed her bag and threw it over his shoulder, it began to vibrate and buzz quite loudly. He could’ve ignored it, but he’d been curious and investigated.

Initially, he’d only meant to take a peek to find the noise, but then he found a bright-pink dildo with little bunny ears shaking and moving rapidly. Instead of just shutting it off, he’d grabbed it and shoved it into his bag. He did feel slightly guilty, but not enough to put it back.

With shifters’ high sex drives and the females going through heat once a month, he knew the missing toy would cause some sort of scene. He would’ve done anything to get her attention.

Grinning like a fool, he took a sip of his beer. Their little mate was taking a bath and relaxing. Soon though, she would need to curb that arousal she’d been feeling. He was counting down the minutes. The bedroom door slammed open and Charlie set his beer down.
Here we go.
Anticipation buzzed through his system, exciting him.

She stormed into the kitchen wearing a long shirt that stopped mid-thigh, her long, creamy legs on display. Her hair was wet, and she was barefoot. She looked like a dream, and Charlie just couldn’t seem to stop smiling. Cole on the other hand was looking a bit shocked.

“Where the fuck is it?” she demanded. Her voice was full of anger, her little fists clinched, and Charlie scratched his cheek.
It’s time to play dumb.

“Well, darlin’.” Charlie leaned back and crossed his arms over his chest. “I’m not sure what you’re talking about, but I do remember Cole telling you about that horrible language. Now, why don’t you start over and tell us what you’re looking for.”

“It was you, wasn’t it?” She pointed a finger at him.

Her chest rose and fell in rapid motion. He could see little beads of sweat trickle down the sides of her face, and she wiped them away. The smell of her arousal filled the air, making his cock jerk in his pants. She was a vision. Fierce and ready to fight.

Cole finally seemed to snap out of the daze he was in and looked over at him, a question on his face. Charlie could only shake his head and shrug. He couldn’t tell his brother anything, not yet anyway. This little episode would have to play out first. She was reacting exactly as he’d hoped. He preferred her this way, all sass and fire. Cole had been right. The silence was driving him crazy, too. It was strange considering that he hated talking, but it was her voice. He missed hearing her talk.

“Don’t look innocent.” She gritted her teeth.

It looked as if her need was becoming unbearable. She was panting, her face flushed, and her muscles tense. After all those hours inside the truck, her monthly heat was finally kicking in. He could smell the sweet honey of her pussy calling to him, and he wanted to satisfy her. He wouldn’t be giving her the toy.
If she wants cock, I’ll give it to her. She’s not using her toy.
This was all part of his plan, and very soon, she would need them and the sweet release only her mates could give her.

“I’m telling you right now that you better give me what you stole or I’m going to
kick your ass
.” She growled, and it was the cutest, little noise.

He knew it was meant to scare, but instead, he felt absolute glee. He couldn’t help the smirk from appearing on his face, and she ground her teeth together.

“Sweetheart, if you just tell us what’s missing, I’m sure we can help you find it. Charlie didn’t take anything. How could he?” Cole was trying to reason with her, trying to calm her down, but their little bear was taking over, pushing the human back. He could see the flash in her eyes.

“Yes, he did. Look at him, he’s smiling!” she yelled, and the pulse in her neck jumped.

Cole looked over at him, and Charlie masked his emotions. This was just too damn easy. When they had been at dinner, Brandon Novikov gave him a few tips about female bears when Emily and Cole left the dining room. He said that female bears go through intense heats every month, more so than any other species of shifter. Brandon also told him that extreme irritation and anger would bring the heat out faster, making the females insatiable. Being around her mates wouldn’t make things any easier for her to ignore. That was his little tip on how to handle their mate.

“When would Charlie have had the chance to take something from you? Your brother had your luggage in his truck and I brought the bag to the room.” Cole’s voice was calm as he tried to reason with her.

She exhaled loudly. “When we were at the hotel, he brought my bag to my room. I didn’t notice anything missing until just a few minutes ago.”

“Did you leave this item in question behind?” Cole asked her, and Charlie wanted to laugh. He knew she hadn’t noticed then, otherwise, she would’ve said something sooner.

“No…and stop smiling right this instant, Charlie!” She yelled and ran toward him, claws bared.

Charlie stood up, prepared for her attack. She didn’t have time to fully shift, so his little mate was in human form. He wasn’t worried. She ran into his chest and as gently as he could he wrapped his arms tightly around her, creating an unbreakable bind. She struggled against him, kicking and thrashing, but that didn’t deter him. He allowed the wolf to come to the forefront, let him help to soothe and deal with their mate.

Leaning his face down, his placed his sharp teeth on her shoulder, right by her neck and let her feel them. He didn’t bite down, but her movements did stop, immediately. She was panting, breathing through her mouth, her muscles tense. Once Charlie had her attention, he used his tongue and licked a path to her ear, before sucking the lobe into his mouth. She moaned, her body shaking, and he chuckled to himself.

“I have your toy, and I’m not giving it back, not yet. If you have needs, little mate, I’m more than happy to take care of you,” he whispered.

“Please?” She gave him a whimpered response.
Was she asking for her toy or him?

Charlie had to admit that he loved this side of Emily, seeing her desperate and needy. He knew the toy was meant to keep most of her sexual impulses at bay, and he thanked his lucky stars that he’d taken it. Maybe she would finally realize how much she needed them. This was a battle he was prepared to win at all costs. She may be uncomfortable, but he wasn’t sure how much longer he’d be able to stay away and not claim her. The wolf inside him didn’t have any patience.

“Tell me what you want.” His voice was gruff to his own ears.

He needed to hear a clear answer from her. He wouldn’t allow there to be any confusion or blame placed on them later. His cock stood hard at attention, pressing against the zipper of his pants, and more than anything he wanted to release the pressure. He waited for her to tell him to take her, waited to hear those sweet words of submission.

* * * *

Emily could barely think straight. In the past, she could lock herself inside her room and take the edge off with her toy collection. Compared to all those past experiences, this was far worse. Her skin felt tight and itchy, her pussy spasmed, and she wanted to turn and hump his leg.
Anything
. She just wanted to relieve the ache and the pain that racked her body.

Feeling possessed and out of control, Emily panted. She wasn’t in control of her body, not the human anyway, her bear was taking over, demanding. Her bear was at the surface, clawing and begging, pushing all rational thoughts out. She craved, needed, and was addicted to what her mates could offer. Her hormones were ruling her now.

“Help me…I can’t take it. I need you.” She gritted her teeth.

It pained her to have to admit that at this point, but she couldn’t just walk away. Using her own hand never did anything for her. She couldn’t reach that place deep inside.

“I’ll give you a choice. You can have your toy back and pleasure yourself all night,
alone
. Or, Cole and I can take care of you. You can have our hands, mouths, and cocks. We’ll make you come, multiple times, all night long. However, you should know that you’re mine.
Ours
. You belong to us, Emily. Choose. What do you want?” He spun her around so that they stared at each other.

She wanted to be taken, to be owned. Rubbing her legs together, she tried to relieve the ache, but it only intensified. She felt frustrated, horny, and her body wouldn’t stop shaking. She tried to push her bear back, tried to take over, but felt too weak. She was on fire. The heat consumed her.

She knew it that moment that her toy wouldn’t be able to help her the way these two men could.

“I want your cock.” She didn’t take long to think.

“Then that’s what you’ll have,” Charlie vowed. “I’ll feed you every inch of me until you’re so packed full of cock you don’t know where I end and you begin. I won’t have any mercy on you. I’m going to fuck you hard and fast, deep and rough, until you come. But, that kind of pleasure belongs to one woman. Is that you, darlin’?” He arched a brow, his face full of challenge.

“Yes, it’s me,” Emily hissed.

She felt ridiculous to be standing here in the kitchen having this conversation. Charlie grinned triumphantly, and she wanted to smack the smirk off his face. He knew exactly what he was doing. It was obvious. His words were having an effect on her. Her pussy dripped, her juices leaking down her inner thigh.

“Then you’re willing to be claimed as our mate?” Charlie asked, stepping forward, and Emily moved back, hitting her ass against the kitchen table.

“Fuck me already,” Emily demanded.

“Give it to her, Charlie,” Cole ordered, his voice a bit shaky.

Before Emily could wonder at what that barked order meant, Charlie grabbed her and sat her on the table. She stared at him as she leaned back.
Holy shit!
He shoved the oversized T-shirt out of his way before grabbing the button of his jeans and pulling with such force they all unbuttoned at once. His hard cock sprang out, pointing straight at her, and Emily swallowed hard.
Damn!

Grabbing her thighs, he pulled her ass to the edge of the table and Emily fell back. Charlie grabbed the base of his cock and rubbed her opening with the head, back and forth, teasing her. Emily moaned and wiggled on the table, wanting to beg them to take her. She couldn’t seem to think or breathe. Her whole body centered on the pleasure it craved. Her vision was fuzzy, and she had no idea what was happening to her.
