Dual Embrace: 3 (Shadowpeak Wolves) (23 page)

They nodded.

“That means you put a step wrong and I take it out of their hides, so if you really care about them you’ll be on your best behavior. The pack is going to be resistant to the idea of you being here. I don’t like it myself. But Dusty and Cain are well respected and liked. No one wants to see them come to harm. I need to know you better to decide if I want to allow you into the pack for good. So you can come and go for the moment. But I’m watching you. You break any pack rules and you’re gone. You’ll never be welcome here again.”

Brynn nodded. “Understood.”

A few hours later, Cain waved as Laney and Cooper drove off. Finally they were alone. He walked back into the living room to where Brynn and Dusty sat on the sofa. He crossed his arms over his chest, staring down at his mates sternly.

Dusty gazed up at him, her blue-green eyes widening slightly.

“You need to be punished, Dusty,” he said, keeping his amusement hidden.

“W-what?”

“Stand up and strip. You’ve been keeping things from your mate and I don’t like it. Now it’s time to pay the piper. Why are you still sitting?”

Her face flushed with a mixture of anger and arousal. But, he was pleased to note, the worry was completely gone.

“Cain, I’m really not in the mood.”

“Oh you are, you just don’t want to admit it. Strip. You’re going to suck both of us into oblivion. And then, if I’m in a forgiving mood, I’ll let you find your release.”

She whimpered.

Brynn stood and looked uncomfortable. “Look, I think you better do all that without me.”

“Sit down,” Cain ordered.

Brynn shot him an impatient look. “You might like to be in charge, wolf, but I only follow your orders when I feel like it. Remember what I said about having too much sex with you? It could kill you both. Taking energy from humans once makes them a little fatigued. If I continued to take from them night after night I could drain the life right out of them.”

“Well, in case you’ve failed to notice, we’re not human,” Cain said calmly.

“I can’t take the risk. I’m leaving. I’ll come back. I just need to give you guys time to recover.”

Cain growled. “Sit down. Do we look like we’re fading away? If anything, I felt more energized after the last time. You’re staying.”

“Stay,” Dusty urged. “Just give this a chance. If we start to get tired, if you’re draining us, you can leave.”

“Brynn, you’re staying,” Cain ordered. “Dusty, I believe I gave you an order.”

She sat still.

“Dusty,” his kept his voice at a soft growl, immensely satisfied when she stood. Cain sat on the sofa as she faced him and tugged off her t-shirt. Brynn sat beside him.

“Go slowly,” Brynn ordered. “Give us a show, my own.”

Cain watched, his lust growing. Dusty swayed as though there were music playing in her head. She held on to the back of a chair as she stripped her pants off, her bad leg not helping her balance.

Finally she got down to her bra and panties, both silky and bright red. A smug smile crossed her face, her gaze pointedly resting on his cock, which was uncomfortably pressing against his jeans.

Brat
, he thought lovingly. She knew what she was doing to them.

Brynn chuckled. “Oh she’s really scared of being punished.”

Cain just smiled. “And the rest, sweetheart.”

She pulled off her bra. Her magnificent breasts, tipped with berry-colored nipples, were freed. His mouth watered. Next she pushed her underwear down her long legs, displaying her bare pussy.

“Beautiful, my love. Come here.”

She walked slowly toward him. When she stood in front of him, he reached up and cupped her mound. Her legs were already open, letting him in. Her silken heat touched his palm.

“She’s already wet, isn’t she?” Brynn asked. He was now naked.

“Oh yeah.”

Moving swiftly, he drew her over his lap. She lay bottom-up, her face falling into Brynn’s lap.

“Cain,” she protested.

“Lick his balls, Dusty, take them into your mouth, play with them.”

Brynn’s head fell back, pleasure infusing his expression.

“Good, pump his cock with your hands. And keep these legs open.” He slapped her thigh as she tried to close her legs. She should know by now that wasn’t going to be an option.

Cain dug two fingers between her legs, swirling them around the entrance to her sheath. He smiled at her moan of appreciation.

“Lick him, sweetheart. Show him how much you appreciate that hard-on.”

His own cock throbbed incessantly, demanding release as his mate licked Brynn’s shaft before surrounding his head with her mouth.

“Now suck him in deep, and don’t let go, no matter what. She slacks off, you tell me, Brynn. And watch your teeth, Dusty.”

He heard a rumble from her. He slapped his hand down on her bottom. Hard. The sound reverberated around the room and she went still with shock.

A red handprint formed on her white bottom.

“Beautiful,” he sighed. “Don’t stop, sweetheart. This spanking continues until Brynn comes or my arm grows tired.”

He smacked her repeatedly, listening to Brynn and Dusty groan. After a few minutes he took a break, sending his fingers down to her pussy to rub and tease.

“Don’t ever, ever keep anything so important from me again, you hear? I want to know everything that is going on with you, good or bad.”

Cain continued slapping her bottom until it was a deep, blushing red. Brynn came with a loud shout, his hips pumping as Dusty swallowed him down. He’d lasted longer than Cain thought he would.

Cain lifted her onto his lap and held her close.

Dusty squirmed on Cain’s lap, the burning in her bottom making it hard to sit. Each smack of his hand against her butt had stung and burned and had sent an answering jolt through her clit, a wicked desire she didn’t want to deny.

When Brynn came in her mouth she’d been relieved, not because the spanking was over, but because now, surely, they’d slake her need.

“Get the lube and condoms,” Cain ordered Brynn as he stood, helping her find her balance. Brynn returned quickly, squirting lube onto Cain’s fingers.

Brynn lay back on the sofa, pumping his already-hard cock. Being a demon really did have its benefits. His movements were almost lazy as he stared up at her through heavy-lidded eyes.

“Climb onto Brynn’s lap, facing him.”

Dusty did as he ordered. She let out a low moan as Cain moved behind them and pushed a finger through the burning cheeks of her bottom into her asshole. She squirmed but Brynn held her still, his hands on her hips as his mouth descended, licking first one nipple then the other.

“Oh please,” she moaned.

“Please what, baby?” Brynn asked against her breast before sucking one nipple into his mouth. Shards of liquid lightning raced through her blood. The two fingers Cain thrust in and out of her ass added to her raging need, pushing her higher.

“Please, I need you. I need you both.”

Dusty rose, lining his cock up with her pussy. Brynn grabbed her hips again, stilling her.

She groaned loudly in protest.

“Not yet, my impatient little minx.”

Cain moved to stand by her head.

“Take Cain into your mouth, my own,” Brynn ordered.

Dusty opened her mouth and Cain slipped inside, filling her.

Brynn removed his fingers from her clit and she groaned around Cain’s shaft. She’d been so close. Orgasm so near she could almost taste it. As Cain slipped out, Brynn drove himself into her pussy. In and out, they filled her, driving her to the brink again and again, stilling when she came close to exploding.

Cain came first, his cock lengthening, thickening. Dusty swallowed, delighting in the taste of him. She continued to lick him as he slowly pulled himself free. Brynn continued to pump inside her pussy, driving deep until he found his release with a deep moan.

Dusty whimpered, desperate for some relief from the overwhelming demands assailing her. She wiggled impatiently.

Reaching down, Cain picked her up, pulling her off Brynn.

“No,” she protested.

“Hush, baby,” he murmured huskily, walking with her in his arms until they reached the bathroom. He placed her in the shower, following her in. He bathed them both quickly, his movements brisk and sharp.

“Cain, damn it,” she moaned as he pulled her from the shower. “I want to come.”

He raised his eyebrows arrogantly. “You’re being punished, sweetheart. What makes you think you get to come?”

“This is beyond punishment,” she wailed as he carried her back into the bedroom. Brynn must have washed in another bathroom. His was hair slightly wet as he joined them in bed. “This is just mean.”

Cain sighed and looked at Brynn. “What do you think?” he asked.

Brynn shrugged. “I don’t know. Do you think she’s learned her lesson?”

“I have,” she urged. “I have.”

“What did you learn, sweetheart?” Cain asked.

“Not to keep anything from you, ever, I promise. I will tell you everything.”

Cain chuckled and rolled her onto her back. Both men lay beside her. Grabbing a leg each, they parted her thighs. Cain thrust two fingers deep within her pussy while Brynn’s fingers twirled around her clit.

She closed her eyes, giving over to the delicious sensations. It didn’t take long until she was coming, clamping down on Cain’s fingers, her cries filling the room.

It was an extremely pleasurable end to her punishment.

Dusty smiled sleepily as she lay in the bed. Cain lay to her right, Brynn was cuddled on her left.

Cain smoothed her hair back from her face.

“Really enjoyed that punishment, didn’t you, brat?” He patted her bottom and she opened her eyes to scowl at him.

“My butt hurts, what do you think?”

Brynn chuckled and swiped his fingers through her still-moist folds. “I think you loved it. We’ll have to come up with something else to threaten her with when she misbehaves.”

Dusty growled and sat up to glare down at them. “Listen to the two of you. I am a grown woman, a werewolf, not a cub in need of discipline. No one will be punishing me.”

Cain pushed her onto her back then loomed over her. “You kept something important from me. That’s not allowed, Dusty. We share everything.”

“It was my business, not yours.”

“You are my business. You are my mate. How can I take care of you properly if you keep things like this from me?”

“I can take care of myself. I won’t be smothered or protected.”

“And believe me, I respect and appreciate that more than you can know. But I’ll still take care of you, no matter how tough or strong you are. That’s what you do for someone you love. If it ever came down to a choice between my life and yours, I’d choose to protect your life every time.”

She blew out a frustrated breath. “We’re equals. You’re not supposed to put yourself between me and danger. I can’t work that way.”

“I love your independence, your strength.” He shook his head. “Brynn and I might fall over ourselves trying to please you, but we both know who’s dominant in this relationship, sweetheart.”

She snarled at him.

He let his wolf shine through his eyes. “I wouldn’t test me. Like I said, outside of the bedroom I won’t hover and I won’t interfere. So long as you don’t take unnecessary risks.”

“Our job is all about risks,” she growled.

“No, our job is about protecting the pack. Sure, it has risk. But you, my darling, like to push it. Don’t think I haven’t noticed. You don’t have to prove that you’re tougher than everyone else, Dusty.”

“I don’t—”

“Don’t bother lying to me.”

She sighed.

“Look, I like that you’re a fighter. I don’t have to worry about you constantly, or I didn’t when I thought you had the wolf’s strength to back you up. Now you’re as vulnerable as a human.”

She narrowed her eyes at him. There was something in his voice, as if he were a million miles away.

“What are you thinking about?” she asked.

“And who?” Brynn added. “You know, for someone who’s big on having us tell him everything you haven’t exactly shared much of yourself.”

“What, you mean you don’t already know?” Cain replied sarcastically.

“Hey,” Dusty protested. “There’s only room in this relationship for two smart-asses. You’re supposed to be the sensible, grounded one. And Brynn’s right, you know. I don’t even know the full reason why you came to the pack. Zachary told us you’d been kicked out of your pack. When I met you I didn’t dare ask, you looked so intimidating.”

Cain’s eyebrow rose. “I intimidated you? I didn’t think that was possible. You certainly didn’t act like it.”

Dusty grinned.

“So why did you come here?” Brynn asked.
