Lover's Delight (2 page)

She felt his erection pressing against her
bottom and she shuddered in terror, remembering how the male had
hurt her countless times.

Nicolai felt her shaking and stopped kissing
her neck. He held her face, gently turning her so she faced
him.

“You cannot hide your desire from me any more
than I can hide my desire from you, Little One. It angers me to
think of how you have been hurt. I would never hurt you in such a
way. I promise, I will only do as you command me,” Nicolai vowed as
he caressed her cheek.

Delia’s eyes widened at Nicolai’s
declaration. She shook her head in disbelief.

“It’s true, Delia. When I met Lucien, I ran
away. In fact, it seems like I was always running away from him.
Eventually he caught me.”

“You enjoyed running from me!”

“I did not! I really
didn’t
enjoy
falling on my face.” Lucien laughed as he remembered how his mate
had fled.

“Graceful, you are not!” Lanie raised her
eyebrows and pointedly ignored him, turning back to the couple.
Lucien chuckled and slid his hand up her thigh, squeezing it
gently.

“Anyway, Lucien caught me. We were all alone
in a cabin, in the middle of the woods. He was a perfect
gentleman.”

“I didn’t undress until she commanded me to.”
Lanie blushed and buried her face in his neck. She knew Lucien
wasn’t trying to embarrass her, he was only trying to put Delia at
ease with her newfound mate. She sighed.

“It’s true. If I hadn’t asked him to, he
never would have….” Lanie blushed again.

“You…you
commanded
him?” Delia was
sure she heard wrong. Lanie smiled slyly and leaned towards
Delia.

“You are mates. Equals. I’m sure your mate
will follow
every single one
of your commands,
especially
in the bedroom.” She winked at Delia. Delia was
suddenly anxious to find out if this was true.

Delia’s male stormed out of Billy Rae’s,
unable to stand the sight of Delia feeding her mate, Nicolai. Jacob
and Theo noticed his angry departure and followed him.

“FUCK!” he yelled as he kicked a tire.
Scenting his pack mates, he turned, spotting Jacob and Theo.

“Can you believe this shit? Delia’s been mine
for
ten years
and that son of a bitch took her from me!”

“They are mates,” Jacob stated, earning him a
glare from Delia’s male.

“You think I’m going to stand around and do
nothing while he fucks Delia?” He thought for a moment then added,
“Lucien severed your ties with
your
mates as well. What will
you do when you find out Sue Ann and Mila have been fucking Last
Hope wolves?”

Jacob and Theo growled, clenched their fists
at the thought of their former mates fucking other wolves.

“They wouldn’t dare.” Delia’s male laughed at
Theo’s naïve response.

“What makes you think they won’t? Lucien has
freed them. They look up to Delia and they will follow her example
and let other wolves fuck them. Unless we show them they
still
belong to us.”

“What do you intend to do about it?” Theo
asked, interested in keeping Mila away from other wolves.

Lowering his voice, he confided, “I’m going
to kill Nicolai in front of Delia. Once her mate is dead, I will
claim her as my mate. Lucien won’t be able to stop me.”

“Nicolai is a soldier. Do you think you’ll be
able to kill him on your own?”

“I will have the two of you to help me kill
him. Or are you going to do nothing while your bitches fuck every
Last Hope wolf?”

Angry at the loss of their females, they
agreed.

“What’s the plan?” Theo asked.

“First we have to find out where he lives. It
will be easier to ambush him when he is away from other
wolves.”

Shortly after, Delia and Nicolai left Billy
Rae’s. Her male shifted into his wolf form and followed them
home.

Chapter 3

Once the former Lost Souls pack members had
joined Lucien’s Last Hope pack, he had ordered them to move into
his town. Currently, single Lost Soul males were distributed
throughout town, living with mated pack members until more
permanent housing was built. Mated Lost Souls pairs had stayed in
the local bed and breakfast inn. For their safety, as of tonight,
the newly single Lost Souls females would have different
accommodations. Zane and Jackie had volunteered to guard them in
her old house. Lucien felt his females would feel safer with Zane’s
familiar face around. He also hoped they would see what true mates
were like, a loving couple deeply devoted to each other.

It was late and the seven newly single former
Lost Souls females were anxious about their new accommodations.
Lucien walked over to the group of females huddled together. Their
whispering stopped as he stepped closer. Nervous, they turned to
face him.

“Lanie, my mate, thinks you would be more
comfortable away from your former mates. I have arranged for you to
stay in Jackie’s old house.”

They blinked, cautiously saying nothing.

“Jackie is Zane’s mate,” Lucien reminded
them.

“Oh.”

“Of course,”

“That’s right.”

“Ah,” several females replied at once.

“Kane and Harley will escort you to
Jackie’s.” He nodded to Kane and Harley and they walked over to the
group.

The females’ eyes widened at Kane’s scarred
face and they looked away. Keeping his distance, Kane clenched his
jaw and crossed his arms as he stood near the group. Harley stepped
closer, smiled and addressed the group.

“Don’t worry ladies, you’re in good hands
with us. Kane and I will take you home then patrol outside. You’ll
be completely safe at Jackie’s.”

“Jackie and Zane will stay with you tonight,”
Lucien stated.

“If you need anything, please let them know.”
The ladies nodded in response.

“Let’s go, ladies.”

They followed Harley out of Rae’s. Kane
followed the group, staying far behind in an effort to alleviate
their nervousness.

It was a short but pleasant walk to from
Rae’s to Jackie’s old house. Harley walked up to the lovely
Victorian house and rang the bell. A few minutes later, Jackie
opened the door, blushing furiously. The buttons on her shirt were
not lined up, suggesting she had hurriedly buttoned her shirt.
Harley grinned at her disheveled appearance. Winking, he said, “I
hope Zane is decent.”

Just then, Zane walked up behind her. He
looked at the group of women, searching for someone.

“Delia found her mate, Zane,” Sue Ann
informed him quietly.

“She did?” Zane was astonished. He smiled
suddenly, happy that Delia had found her true mate. “That’s great,
Sue Ann. I’m sorry the rest of you didn’t find your mates.” He
slipped an arm around Jackie, pulling her close to him.

“This is my mate, Jackie.”

“Hello Jackie.”

“Hi.”

“Nice to meet you.”

“How are you?” several of the women said at
the same time.

Jackie smiled and welcomed them to their new
home.

“Please, come in.”

Once everyone was inside, Zane locked the
door and joined them in the living room.

“It’s a four bedroom house, so you’ll have to
double up. Angie, one of the maids at the inn, delivered your bags
earlier. We took them up to your rooms,” Jackie informed them.

“Relax. This isn’t some trick. Lucien and his
pack are nothing like Murdock. He could have had me killed on sight
for killing Sean, but he didn’t. He talked to me and learned the
truth about what happened. Murdock would never have done that.

“Lucien could have refused to let me claim
Jackie as my mate, but he didn’t. Do you know what he did
instead?”

They nodded, curious about their new
alpha.

“He invited me into his home and offered us
his private cabin. He gave us time to work through
our...issues.”

Zane turned to gaze at Jackie. His love for
her was unmistakable. Jackie smiled and moved to stand by him,
slipping her arm around his waist.

“It was exactly what we needed,” Jackie said
softly.

“Yes it was,” Zane agreed as he lowered his
head and kissed Jackie.

“The females watched enviously as Zane kissed
his mate tenderly. None of them were used to gentle touches or
public displays of affection. A few of them began to wonder what it
would be like to find their true mates.

Zane’s wolf eyes flashed at Jackie as he
scented her arousal. Her wolf eyes flashed brightly before she
reluctantly turned away from him.

Zane forced himself to address the females in
his care. The sooner he got them settled, the sooner he could fuck
Jackie.

“Jackie will take you upstairs. I promise
you, your males won’t come near you. Kane and Harley are patrolling
outside and I will be on guard downstairs. None of the Lost Souls
males can get past either soldier. But if they do, they won’t get
past
me
.” They saw his wolf eyes flash and they felt
reassured. They could trust Zane to protect them.

Quietly they turned and followed Jackie
upstairs. While Jackie showed them their rooms, Zane pulled out the
air mattress, plugged it in and inflated it on the living room
floor. He spread their bed and took off his shirt, tossing it onto
the couch.

Jackie returned to the living room and
stopped to admire Zane’s bare chest. She bit her lip.

“Zane, maybe we shouldn’t.” Zane raised a
brow.

“We have a house full of guests. What if they
come downstairs?”

“Then I guess they’ll get quite a show.
Strip, Jackie,” he demanded as he unbuttoned his jeans.

“Zane....”

“Your scent is driving me crazy. You
need
to be fucked, Jackie. I will take care of your need,
mate. Now get undressed...or do you want me to undress you?” he
asked with a wicked smile.

Jackie shook her head adamantly. If he
stripped her, her clothes would be in shreds. Quickly she undressed
and joined Zane on their bed.

Sue Ann, Mila, Jezebel and Tori quietly
walked down the stairs. They stood on the staircase, frozen as they
heard Jackie, her voice a bit agitated.

“Don’t Zane! I mean it!”

The females exchanged glances, worried for
Jackie. Could they have been wrong about Zane? Was he hurting his
mate?

“St-st-stop it!” Jackie demanded between fits
of laughter.

“Za-Zane, please!”

Zane chuckled as he ran his fingers along
Jackie’s side. She pushed his hands away, giggling as he tickled
her with his other hand. Smiling, he moved swiftly to her feet.
Kneeling, he lifted her legs apart and leaned down. He placed a
soft kiss on her pubic hair and Jackie stopped giggling. He spread
her gently and licked her crease. His tongue slid downward, found
her channel and plunged inside.

“Oh, Zane!”

The females blushed as they listened to Zane
and Jackie’s enthusiastic coupling. Judging from the groans and
moans, Jackie enjoyed her mate’s touch. By the time Zane found his
release inside of his mate, the females were flushed and panting.
Not wanting to advertise their presence, quietly they turned and
went back upstairs.

Chapter 4

Nicolai held her hand as he led Delia to her
new home. She allowed him to carry her over the threshold, because
he asked nicely and it seemed to mean something to him. Once
inside, he set her down and gave her a brief tour, ending in their
bedroom.

“We are mates, so I expect you to sleep in
our bed. I will not touch you until you are ready, Delia. Even
then, I will only do as you wish, no further.”

Feeling brave, Delia asked in a whisper,
“What would you do?”

Surprised at her bold question, he thought
for a moment and answered, “I would undress you slowly, then pick
you up and carry you to our bed. I would kiss you tenderly, caress
your breasts. Suck on your nipples.”

Her nipples tightened at the thought of his
mouth there, sucking her as he had her fingers earlier that
evening.

Nicolai noted her arousal, his eyes darkening
as he continued.

“I would touch you between your legs. I would
rub your clit until you became wet for me.” He paused and took a
deep breath to steady himself.

“Then I would slide my finger inside of you.”
His voice was now a harsh whisper, thick with desire.

“I would pull it out slowly and lick it,
tasting you.”

She gasped, surprised at how wet she had
become, how desperately she wanted his finger inside of her. A
sudden ache began to spread from between her legs to her womb,
which tightened in anticipation.

“Then I would spread your legs and lick you.
I would taste you, all of you. Bury my tongue
deep
inside of
you. Use my mouth and hands to give you the best orgasm you ever
had.”

She moaned with need and held onto the
bedpost, her knees suddenly turning into globs of jelly.

“Would you like that, Delia?” Nicolai held
his breath, hoping she would let him.

Delia couldn’t speak. She was too full of
need. Her male had never satisfied her, would never do
that
to her. She ached for her mate’s touch. But she was afraid of what
he would demand in return.

“Delia? Let me touch you. Let me pleasure
you. That’s all I want.” She looked at him uncertainly.

“You just want to touch me? You don’t want me
to…? What about you?” He barely heard her soft whisper.

“I won’t lie to you. I ache for your touch,
Delia. You can touch me any way you wish, any part of me. I would
never deny you. My body is yours.” He swallowed and continued, “It
would give me great pleasure to satisfy my mate. I want nothing in
return, Delia. I want to earn your trust. Let me taste you, Delia.
Please?”

How could she resist when
he
begged
her
to let him do
that
? Trembling with need, she
nodded.
