Possession of the Soul (11 page)

“Hoyt?” She whispered against Chax’s chest.

“Hush, you’re going to fly like you’ve never flown before,” Chax said. He parted her ass cheeks, opening her for their mate.

Hoyt pressed into her slowly, stretching her with his width. “God, you’re tight back here, baby!” Thrusting all the way in, he waited for her to adjust.

“Will one of you move?” she whimpered. “Please!”

“Hush, we’ll take care of you,” Chax said.

His tail snaked around behind Hoyt, who moaned as it penetrated his ass.

Hoyt drove into her as Chax slid out of her. Hoyt never stopped playing with her breasts or tweaking her nipples.

She screamed into Chax’s mouth. His moan matched her scream. Chax nipped and fought with her tongue. Tabatha opened her eyes only to stare into his glowing red ones. His lips curved up, but he never stopped his play with her tongue. Chax’s passion-filled kiss only turned her on more. He sucked her lips into his mouth and lifted his head once more releasing a popping noise from the suction. She touched her swollen lips, a small smile forming on them to match Chax’s.

Chax placed a quick peck on her nose, and then leaned to one side of her neck. Hoyt took the other side. Both of them bit into it, immobilizing her.

Tabatha shook, and her bones shifted. Their magic soared through her like an electrical current. They claimed her at the same moment they transformed her body. Another even stronger climax surged through Tabatha. The room dimmed, her vision blurred, and the last thing she heard was their fierce, claiming growls as they pumped their seed into her. She gave herself up to the sensations and tumbled into a euphoric, warm darkness.

Hoyt knew the change in her system would induce a long sleep. From what he’d heard from others who had mated, the first claiming always wiped them out. She would be part werewolf and part demon, being able to shift any time, and living however long she and her mates saw fit.

They quietly pulled out of her and covered her with a sheet. Hoyt glanced at her sleeping form one last time. Something foreign raced through him.

“I feel it, too,” said Chax. “We can’t lose her, Hoyt. There is more to this attack than we know. Wol-itelm believes someone close to her is targeting her.” With a wave of his hand, Chax clothed both of them before they entered the living room.

Hoyt shook his head. “You need to warn me when you do that, Chax. I’m not used to all your demon magic.”

They observed Melody curled up on the couch sound asleep. Ben and Shane sat opposite her on the loveseat.

Hoyt laughed, shaking his head. He strode to the kitchen and grabbed a cup of coffee, followed by Chax, Shane and Ben. “Let’s go outside where we can talk,” he announced.

The men followed him out onto the deck.

“Someone wants your family destroyed,” Hoyt told Ben. “The bomb that killed your parents was just the beginning of our battle. And why didn’t you tell me Tabatha couldn’t shift, that she’s only
part
were?”

“Dad told me the pack wanted her killed the day she was born. He wanted me to look into the pack’s activities to make sure they weren’t planning anything. My father thought while I was training I could nose around the pack and see what they were up to.” Ben ran a hand through his hair. “The elders informed my father she was a freak; that something wasn’t right about her and that an Alpha shouldn’t be saddled with the problems she would bring. Our parents moved out to this cabin away from our pack. Dad stepped down as Alpha, but the pack wouldn’t let the matter of my sister rest. That’s why our captain kept me hidden and why he wanted to move Tabby away. We did it to protect her. Our parents had no other choice.”

“You need to tell her the truth about her family.” Hoyt’s gaze shifted to Chax.

 
“Something’s off here, Chax. Did you see the way his eye twitched before he turned away from us? That only happens when he’s pissed off or lying about something.”

“How do you know?”
Chax moved toward the stairs, leaned against the railing, and scanned Ben.

 
“All through high school,”
Hoyt replied,
“Ben’s parents always knew when he was lying. All they had to do was glance at him, and he’d freeze up. Hell, in one of our training classes Ben forgot to do the assignment and started to lie about it. His eye twitched and he couldn’t even look at the instructor’s face. They knew right off the bat he wouldn’t be a field operative.”
Hoyt crossed his ankles and propped his hip on the railing, all the while shifting his gaze to Ben.

Ben tensed and walked to the railing, switching the subject. “My parents and I kept her protected. We knew the pack females would tear her apart. We hoped she would mate with a strong wolf to bring the other half of her magic over, and here you are, finally. I just never imagined it would be you. I should have brought you home sooner. I knew Melody was my mate, but to have Shane as a mate, too, took me by surprise. Boy, is Melody pissed, and Tabby will be as well when she finds out we hid all of this from her.” Ben sighed, and glanced at Chax.

Hoyt moved to the other side of Ben.

“Tabby’s going to be pissed at you two for changing her before she was ready for it and for giving her no way out.” Ben laughed sadly and ducked just in time.

Two glass coffee mugs smacked against the huge tree behind where his head had been. Glass pieces landed at his feet. Hoyt glanced up at Tabatha and Melody, who stood just inside the door, both of them in robes.

Shaking his head, Hoyt smiled. “
I should’ve known it wouldn’t take her long to change. It looks like our mate is more powerful than we first thought, Chax. Maybe that’s one of the reasons the pack felt so threatened?”

Chax shrugged, his gaze never leaving their mate.
“We won’t know for sure until we hear from your commander. Has he returned your call since you contacted him about Ben being here?”

“You jackasses!” Tabatha shouted. “You kept us in the dark, and then you take my choice away from me! How could you lie to me to us like that?” She trembled from head to toe. “I can’t believe Mom and Dad would do that!” She reached over, slid the porch door shut, and locked it.

Hoyt shook his head and smiled at Chax. “
No, he hasn’t called and that worries me. I don’t think he knows about Ben being here. We better go and grab our mate. She’s bound and determined to leave again.”

Chax laughed. “Yep, and I love a good chase.”

Chapter Ten

Tabatha would have laughed at the men’s expressions if she weren’t so pissed. She didn’t say a word to Melody as her friend ran to her bedroom and grabbed their clothes. Tabatha pushed the kitchen door open, and Melody entered behind her with their things.

“I can’t believe Ben kept all of this from you. God, what was he thinking?” Melody jammed her foot into a boot.

Tabatha zipped up her skirt and slipped her feet into her boots. “It’s like I don’t even know him anymore, Melody. I mean, if Ben has been lying all these years, what else is he keeping from me? Shit, I was terrified of shifters, and now I find out that not only am I one, too, but I’m also a freak!” Tabatha followed her best friend through the back door.

Melody opened the garage door and pushed the button on the key ring, unlocking the car. Tabatha grabbed the handle as the lock popped up, but large, beefy hands wrapped around her waist and held her where she stood.

Hoyt sighed, the steam from his breath covering her neck.

He turned her around, threw her over his shoulder, and smacked her ass. “You could have let us explain! You know you can’t leave without protection, Tabby! What are you thinking? I know the lies hurt you, baby, but you didn’t even give us a chance to explain things.”

Chax growled behind them as Hoyt moved into the house with her. He pushed open the back door leading to the kitchen and laid her down on the huge oak table.

Hoyt cupped her face and stared down at her. “I don’t know how to make you see what kind of danger you’re in, Tabby. But for now, we need you.” He pushed up her skirt and yanked her panties off, shredding them in the process. From behind her, Chax reached around her body and yanked her blouse open, slipping it off her. The garment landed on the floor next to her panties.

Cool air caressed her bare breasts, and her body responded to their rough treatment. Tabatha had always read romance books with heroes who treated their heroines roughly. She’d always known she’d love it when her first real lover would act the same way. Her legs shook as Hoyt stepped in between them.

“You’re our mate and you’ll listen to us, or so help me God, I’ll tan that gorgeous ass of yours.” He smiled down at her. “You’d like that wouldn’t you, baby? If you ever think of taking off again, I’ll lock you up in your room and tie to you to the bed.” His large, callused hands wrapped around her waist, and he flipped her onto her stomach. Chax grabbed both her hands, bringing one up to his lips, sucking her fingers into his mouth.

With her ass in the air, Hoyt’s hand came down and slapped a butt cheek. Then another hand hit her other cheek.

 
Oh my God! This is just like in the books I’ve read!

She screamed as lust rippled through every muscle.

Hoyt traced his hand down her spine to her heated cheeks. Two fingers pushed into her pussy and then trailed up to her ass, working them in slowly. Carefully, he stretched her. She grabbed the side of the table, her nails scratching the wood. On autopilot, she pushed her ass back for more. Tabatha knew once his cock entered her it would lock inside her until he came.

“More, please!” Tabatha looked up at Chax, who smiled down at her.

Hoyt continued to stretch her with one hand as he moved his other up her leg to her pussy. He leaned down and whispered, “I think you need that nice, thick tail in here.” Another finger pushed into her ass, and two more fingers entered her cunt. Hoyt’s magical fingers proceeded to fuck her.

Chax’s tail curved around the table and moved to her rear.

Tabatha moaned, “No, don’t stop!”

Hoyt’s miraculous hands disappeared, and emptiness settled over Tabatha.

“Give it to me, Chax,” she hissed in passion.

Chax’s tail slowly moved inside her at the same time Hoyt’s cock entered her wet folds. Her breath hitched, and she laid her forehead on the cold wooden tabletop, soothing her fervor if only for a moment. Both her mates slammed into her, rocking the table back and forth.

Muscles tightened, bones crunched, and her skin itched. Tabatha didn’t know what was happening. It was as if something tried to escape from inside of her. Sexual heat returned to her system with a vengeance.

 
What is wrong with me?

All she wanted to do was fuck. She craved their touch and could care less what others knew or saw. Hoyt’s order for the pack to stay away from the kitchen filtered through her mind. His Alpha voice provoked new emotions and shot adrenaline through her system.

 
Damn, I’ll never be able to look at this table the same way again without blushing, or at any of the pack members for that matter.

Their pace picked up. They fucked her faster and harder. Hoyt’s grunting noises wound her up more. Her knees would be bruised from the hard surface of the table, but she didn’t care.

“Hoyt!” Tabatha screamed. She needed more.

Strong fingers gripped her chin and lifted her head. Chax stood in front of the table while Hoyt continued to pump his cock into her from behind. Chax caressed her chin with his thumb. His heated gaze held hers while he stood at ease. With his thick muscled legs inches from her face, she reached up and traced her finger up his thigh. Upon her touch, the muscles tightened, and his cock jumped in his hand as he pumped it back and forth. Chax continued his assault on her ass with his tail. His movements countered Hoyt’s. Moving closer, Chax rubbed his cock back and forth across her lips, waiting for her to open her mouth. A dribble of his essence seeped out of his member. Moaning, she licked the head of it. The taste of Cajun spice slid down her throat.

“Don’t tease me, Tabby. Take it all.” He pushed his cock into her mouth and put an end to her game. He released her chin and grabbed a handful of her hair. With a tight grip, he guided her movements. “Isn’t this like the scenes in the book you were reading, baby? We know you like it rough. I can see the memory of such books in your mind. You have a collection of them in your apartment. Come on. Take your punishment,” Chax ordered. He tilted her head higher and pushed more of his cock down her throat.

Another strike to her ass sent her over the edge of pleasure at the same time Chax shot his load into her mouth.

She swallowed Chax’s essence with greedy gulps. Hoyt groaned his release, his seed filling her. Chax stepped back and pulled his cock free of her mouth. He released her arms and kissed the top of her head.

Tabatha licked her lips and smiled. She turned her head and moaned. Hoyt’s member still latched onto her inner walls as the last of his seed seeped out of him. At first, Tabatha didn’t move an inch when another orgasm coursed through her. The barb released its hold on her insides. She watched Chax’s tail and Hoyt’s penis withdraw from her.

A little smile formed on her lips, and she sat up slowly. Her gaze lowered and fixed on her shirt that lay on the floor in shreds. Tabatha grabbed her skirt and adjusted it. A fresh set of tremors ran through her body. The vision of Chax ripping it from her form flashed through her mind. She cocked her head, her gaze drifting upward over Hoyt’s semi-nude state.

He smiled down at her as he tucked his cock back into his pants. “Can’t get enough of me Tabby?” He grinned and tweaked her nipple.

“Hah! What woman wouldn’t?” She laughed, jumped off the table, and grabbed her shirt, which she threw in the garbage. “I know if you two keep this up, you’re going to have to keep buying me new clothes.” She shook her head and strolled to her room with her arms crossed over her upper body. Tabatha threw open the door and saw the sweater she wanted. Snatching it from the door hook, she wrapped it around herself.
