Taming the Alphas: Part Four: Paranormal Werewolf Shifter Romance (2 page)

Walking into the apartment complex I was tired and emotionally drained. I knew the chance to kick back, have a cold drink and relax would give me a second wind. I glanced furtively at Dave and Todd. I sure hoped they had some energy. Despite all that had happened, I was hoping for a little fun tonight too. Just the thought of it made me incredibly horny.

Ugh. Mrs. Oakley, our landlady, was standing near the elevator. Great, this was all we needed. Of all nights, why did she have to be here on this one?  I was sure she would ask about the rent and put a damper on our whole evening. Dave and I were a few days late with the payment as our government checks hadn’t come yet.

“Dave, Dave, I’ve been waiting for you,” she whimpered sweetly.

“What is it this time Regina, 111 or 206 having trouble again?” Dave said pleasantly.

“This time it’s 836. There is something wrong with the plumbing. No one can figure it out. If you could take a look now it would be great.”

“Sure can,” Dave said, “I’ll be along in a few minutes.”

“Ok. Once again, it’s apartment 836. Have a nice evening,” Mrs. Oakley replied, nodding at Todd and me. She turned and started padding down the hall, then paused and looked back at us. “Oh, and don’t worry about being late with the rent. It can wait a few days.”

As she walked into one of the apartments my eyes widened in disbelief. Did she just say ‘don’t worry about being late with the rent?’ And since when was Dave on a first name basis with our landlady?  Why were they talking about different apartments and plumbing problems? “Dave? What is she talking about?”

Dave looked a little sheepish. “I’ve been helping Regina, um Mrs. Oakley that is, with some of the handyman work around here. Apartments 111 and 206 seem to have a lot of trouble—plumbing, heating and what not.”

“That’s cool,” Todd said. “The way she cooed at you when we came in the door … well for a minute there I thought you and Mrs. Oakley might be ….” Todd laughed and jumped out of the way as Dave swatted him playfully.

“Ha, ha. Don’t go there Toddster.” Dave grinned, shaking his head. “I’m just helping her with the apartment complex. This is a huge place and it’s a lot of work. Plus, I really need the money.”

“That’s neat that you can use your handyman skills, Dave. I barely know the difference between a wrench and a hammer,” I scratched my head. Truthfully, my handywoman skills were pretty much nonexistent.

“It’s no big deal,” Dave said. But despite his words, I could see in his face that it really
was
a big deal. It looked like being able to use his problem solving and “fix it” abilities made him feel good, and earning money was always a good thing. He seemed ready—eager even, to tackle whatever the plumbing issue was in apartment 836.

“I’m just wondering, why didn’t you say you were helping Mrs. Oakley?” I looked at Dave curiously.

“Remember when I said I wanted to talk to you earlier tonight?”

I nodded. After we had made love, Dave said he needed to talk to me. Before I had a chance to hear what was on his mind, Todd had called and we’d rushed over to the pizzeria. “You wanted to talk to me about doing handyman work for Mrs. Oakley?” I raised my brows. “I guess I thought you wanted to talk about our relationship.”

“Well, in a way it was about our relationship.”

“How so?” I asked.

“I’ve only been working for Mrs. Oakley for a week or so, but I’ve come to realize I really enjoy it.”

“…Okay...” I said slowly, pursing my lips.

“I decided that I want to look for a job where I can work with my hands instead of slaving in a government building or being stuck in a fancy office. I think that’s why I’ve been having trouble finding a job. I really don’t want that type of work.”

“Hmm, I can see that, Dave.”

Dave was a nature boy. He didn’t like a regimented routine or being tied to a desk.  He liked to be outside in the fresh air, or inside working with his hands. I don’t know why it hadn’t clicked earlier for any of us that he should go for more of a “hands on” type of job over an office one.

“But, what does that have to do with our relationship?”

“Well… I know the money won’t be as good and there probably won’t be a lot of benefits with that type of work. So, I wanted to see how you felt about it. I love you Bev, and I want to make you happy, and money is important.”

“Dave Barnes, just being with you makes me happy. Look at how things are now. We have a bare fridge and can hardly make rent. But I would rather have you than be with a billionaire I didn’t love.”

Dave pulled me towards him and wrapped his strong arms around me. “You make me feel so loved Beverly. And hey, Todd, you’re cool with this?”

Todd came towards us. “Totally. I love you Dave and I want what’s best for you, because that’s what’s best for all of us.”

“Group hug everyone!” I laughed, pulling the two hunks close to me.

We embraced for a few minutes until Mrs. Oakley popped her head out of the apartment she had gone into. “Dave, 836 just called again.”

“Well, don’t let us keep you,” I smiled. As much as I wanted Dave upstairs with Todd and me, it was good to see him getting his confidence back from feeling useful.

“Come on Todd, let’s let Dave get on with his plumbing work,” I said, grabbing Todd by the hand as I pulled him towards the elevator.

“I’ve got some plumbing I’d like to work on,” Todd grinned as he pressed the ‘Up’ button. Despite his playful tone, I could see a burning intensity in his eyes as he looked at me. My knees felt weak as I melted in his baby blue gaze.

I tried to lighten the mood, giving him a playful tap on his muscular chest. “We’ll see about that!”

“You guys go have some fun,” Dave grinned, “but save some of the handyman work in our apartment for me, Todd,” Dave grinned and winked.

God, I loved my horny hunks!

Todd could barely keep his hands off of me in the elevator and by the time we reached our floor we were pretty disheveled. I had barely opened the apartment door before Todd had pushed me against the wall. He held me tightly against his body and a soft growl came from deep within him.

“Todd, what is it?” I looked into his eyes. They were moist and passion filled.

Todd held me tighter. “I felt so powerless in my office with Jerry today when he had that gun to my head. A lot of feelings went through me. I knew I loved you before, but it really hit me how much as I sat there. The idea of leaving this earth without spending a lifetime with you and with Dave…” he shook his head.

“Todd, I …” Looking up at him, I could feel the depth of his emotion radiating to the core of my being. The sheer love that emanated from him overwhelmed me.

“Shhh, don’t talk. I just want to feel you right now. I want to hear the beat of your heart. I want to hold you and never, ever let you go.”

I could feel myself relaxing, melting into his muscular physique; but he had different plans.

“Beverly, I need you so fucking bad right now.” His big hand grabbed my arms and pinned them tightly above my head as his eyes burned into mine. With his other hand, he traced the lines along my face, gently caressing the curves of my cheeks. He placed his fingers on my lips, touching them gently, lightly probing them in my mouth.

Todd lowered his hand from my lips to my chin and then gradually moved down my neck, softly stroking the tender skin. Leaning in, he dipped his tongue gently in my ear. “I really need you right now,” he whispered again in a deep, throaty voice. “I need to feel all of you Beverly—every inch of you. Take off your shirt.” He didn’t ask, he commanded, and it was an order I was more than willing to obey.

My fingers fumbled as he released my hands, and I quickly tried to unbutton my shirt. I could feel the sheer lust of Todd and his wolf impatient for me to finish. As I tossed my shirt aside and reached around my back to unclasp my bra, he pulled his t-shirt and jeans off. In seconds, he was stripped down to just his silky boxers. As my breasts broke free from their confinement, Todd reached for them, tweaking the tips in his fingers.

“Your nipples are gorgeous, just like you,” he moaned as he fingered them. Little peaks formed, my nipples growing turgid with excitement. My panties were getting wetter by the second.

“I want those nipples in my mouth right now. Give them to me,” Todd demanded. I lifted them up in my hands in offering. He wanted them, and I so wanted him to suck them. Pulling me close, he lowered his mouth to my breasts. Sucking and nibbling, he licked ferociously as I moved my hands to his head and grabbed tufts of his sandy hair tightly between my fingers. Shudders ran through my body as he sucked harder, teething my nipples. I closed my eyes, relishing the feel of each bite and lick.

“So delicious,” he growled. Rolling his smooth tongue down, he lapped it hungrily along my skin until he reached the top of my jeans. He unzipped them quickly and pulled them off of me.

“I don’t know why you wear clothes, Beverly. When I’m around I want you naked as often as possible so I can take you anytime. Do you understand that?”

“Oh God, Todd,” I cried. His words, his powerful body, his wet, probing tongue—it was all such a turn on.

Smoothing his hands along my legs, he found his way to my pink thong panties. He placed his big, warm hand on the thin fabric and raced his fingers along the top of my pussy, down into my folds. “I can’t wait to be inside you,” he breathed. He reached around, cupping my ass, and massaged each cheek as he pressed me tightly against him. I could feel his erection pressing against me through his underwear, his cock rock hard.

I reached for the waistband of his boxers and yanked them down. He was so huge and erect. His dick was at full attention, his ball sac full and tight.

“I feel like I’m gonna blow my wad right now, I want you so bad,” Todd moaned. He picked me up like I was light as a feather and cradled me to the bedroom. Then, he tossed me onto the bed in one fell swoop. “Pull those panties off or I’m going to rip them off you. I need to fuck you right now!”

“Oh baby, you’re looking so sweet and tasty,” Todd groaned, quickly lowering his face to my panties. He started to lick my crotch, moving aside the thin, mesh fabric of my hot pink thong. Waves of pleasure enveloped me as his smooth lips found my bud and he teased it with the tip of his tongue. Then, he paused suddenly.

“Don’t stop! Lick me. Please…” I begged.

“These are getting in the way,” he growled. Before I had a chance to take them off, his big hands pulled at the thin string at the top of my panties and he ripped them off of me, tossing them to the side.

Secretly, I loved his passion and animalistic behavior … but wait, he shouldn’t just tear off my new panties! “Todd! That was a good pair of underwear, one of my favorite pairs,” I moaned, acting disappointed.

“Haven’t you been listening to me, Beverly? You don’t need underwear. I want you exposed and ready for my big cock at all times. You need to be ready for my fucking.”

Todd was always eager to make love, but I had never seen him so filled with lust as he was right now. It felt like he was going to devour me.

“Let me lick your dick,” I started to sit up and reach for his cock, but Todd pushed me gently back down on the bed.

“I love it when you suck me babe, but right now I need your cunt. I need to eat and fuck that sweet pussy of yours,” he said, his voice low and husky. “I crave you. Your scent is driving me wild!”

I was sopping wet from his hands and his tongue. “Baby, I’m so fucking wet. I can’t even take anymore Todd!”

“Spread your legs,” he demanded.

Opening myself wide, I was on full display for him, my juicy pussy right in his face.

“Wider!”

I used my hands to spread myself even wider. I was so raw and exposed. Excitement rushed through my body as I saw his eyes widen with pleasure, viewing my most intimate parts.

“Mmmm, look at that tight, little, delicious pussy,” he licked his lips. “You are so hot and fuckable, Bev. I want you so bad. I am going to lick you some more until you cum and then I’m going to fuck you deeper and harder than you’ve ever been fucked before. You are going to cum again and again.”

“Oh God, yes, lick me, fuck me, I need you!” I screamed, spreading myself a little wider. I couldn’t wait to feel his hot tongue on my little pink pussy again.

Todd buried his face deep in my folds. He cupped my ass cheeks firmly in his palms, lapping hungrily. His licks were long and deep at first, but then he focused on my clit, nibbling and sucking. I clawed at the sheets on the bed, gripping them tightly between my fingers. God, I was so swollen and needy.

“Lick me!” I moaned. “Eat me Todd!” I pushed his face deeper between my legs.

He looked up at me for a moment, his mouth glistening with my juices. “You’re so delicious, I’m gonna make you cum baby—all over my face.” His blue eyes were hazy with lust and desire. “Mmmm, you taste so good baby. I love watching your face when I eat you out. You look so beautiful.”

Watching him look at me as he sucked my juices was so hot. The sensation of his warm breath, lips, tongue and hands… I could barely stand it. My pussy felt like it was on fire … I knew I was close to exploding. I could feel my breath tighten and the spasms of pleasure wave through me as I let go, coming with pleasure.

“Oh God, oh God!  Yes, yes, oh yes baby!” I cried out.

Todd wouldn’t let up. He continued to suck and nibble till I could barely stand it anymore. Finally, his mouth released my pussy and he moved his body on top of mine.

“Look at me Bev,” he moaned. I gazed up at him, my eyes focused on his baby blues. “I’m going to fuck you right now with my huge cock. Are you ready to be fucked?”

“Yes, yes honey. I wanna be fucked by you, you make me feel so good!”

Todd kissed me passionately, our lips locking. Then he entered me suddenly and I let out a guttural scream.

“You’re so good!” he grunted as he began to pound me hard and fast with his cock. “Your pussy is so juicy and tight. I love fucking you!”

I could feel the animal in each thrust as he drove into me.

“Oh baby you make me come. I’m coming, I’m coming…” Todd’s face tightened with pleasure as the exquisite sensation of his orgasm shuddered through him. “So good… you’re so good,” he held me tightly. “Oh, I love you baby doll.”

I was exhausted. It felt so good to be naked, wrapped in Todd’s strong arms. I snuggled against his chest and listened to his breath as he started to fall asleep.

I was floating in and out of sleep when I heard the door to the apartment open, and Dave came into the bedroom. “This looks cozy,” he said, smiling. I watched with one eye open as he stripped down to his silky, striped boxers. He climbed into the bed with us, pulling the covers over his beefy torso.

“Man, I’m tired. It’s been a long day.”

“Did you fix the plumbing? Todd asked groggily.

“Yeah, they had some hair trapped in it. Pretty easy fix actually. Nice apartment too. It’s on the 8
th
floor, three bedrooms, updated kitchen, big living room, great view of the campus…”

“Sounds sweet,” Todd said, yawning.

“While I was working on the plumbing, Margaret Redson called. She said Calvin Peet wants us to be his guests at a hibachi restaurant in Georgetown tomorrow night—just to talk. She promised there wouldn’t be any funny business. What do you all think?”

“I think we should stay the hell away,” I said.

Dave pursed his lips. “I don’t know if we can trust Margaret or not, but we need to go to figure out what’s going on.”

“I think we should meet. It’s time to get to the bottom of who this man is and what he wants with us,” Todd said, groggily. “Sal is sending the assistant manager from the Frederick Slice of the Pie to work at my location this weekend. He knows I haven’t had much time off lately.”

“I have classes in the morning but that’s about it. I guess we should meet with them, and I love hibachi.” Though I was concerned about what Cal Peet had in mind, I was excited about the prospect of a good meal, something other than pizza and the few scraps we usually had in the fridge. “Maybe we could all go clothing shopping in the afternoon at the mall and then head over to the restaurant?”

“Shopping? Beverly…” Todd groaned. Todd was a beach bum who didn’t spend too much time thinking about what to wear. He would just slap on a pair of jeans and a tee as his “go to” outfit. He needed some sprucing up in the wardrobe department, especially if we were going to dinner with a billionaire.

“You need some nice slacks and a few shirts. You’ve got a few bucks from managing Slice of the Pie, right?”

“Yeah, I guess.”

“And Dave has gotten some cash for doing handyman work for Mrs. Oakley. You both need to buy a few things.”

“I guess…”

“Besides, you don’t have much choice. You owe me a new pair of panties!”
