The Empress' Rapture (5 page)

“You don’t understand. They won’t stop. She’s special. She’s a Chameleon,” Jason whispered and looked from Roman to Garth and finally to Sierra.

Sierra gasped. “Jason, you know that you’re not to say that around anyone.” The little room where she kept her magic contained inside her blew wide open. Magic brushed against everyone in the room. Hearing Jason’s moan next her, Sierra pulled the door closed and waited for the two men to say something. Jason squeezed her tightly. She knew he did it to calm her.

“Easy, little one. Your father already talked to us. We know how special you are.” Roman cupped her cheek, and then turned his attention again to her brother.

“We won’t stop protecting her—ever. We would die to protect her. Like your sister, we’re also different. Can I share a little secret with you?” Roman sat on the bed next to them.

Jason nodded and pulled out of his sister’s arms. He scooted closer to Roman.

Garth slid behind her and pulled her onto his lap, careful of her injuries. Sierra stiffened, but soon relaxed. She leaned against him and rested her head on his shoulder.

Roman’s words were gentle, placid. “You must keep this a secret. Only your parents and your oldest brother know. The rest of the family and the pack will find out tonight, but I will tell you and your sister now. Our mother is part Fey and is from a very powerful family. Her powers have been passed down to me and Garth,” Roman said and gazed down at Jason, then at Sierra.

Her mouth fell open, the voice from earlier had told her, but she didn’t pay it any attentions until now. She sucked in a breath Sierra knew this was big. Not many knew about the Fey and those that did kept it hidden.

Jason’s eyes grew big as he stared at the men. He gazed at Roman as if he was a god. “Really? Will you tell me all you can? I want to add it to the family books. Since you’re Sierra’s mates, we should make sure to add your family also,” the boy said.

Sierra moaned, knowing her brother would pester them nonstop.

“Yes, we’ll be here for a while. I’ll write down what I know, but you can talk to our mother when our parents come tomorrow,” Roman answered.

“What?” Sierra gaped. “Your parents are coming? We aren’t even mated yet. This is pushing it, Roman.” She fidgeted on Garth’s lap, wanting to storm out of the room, but he held her still.

“I have already told them we found you. Do you really think they wouldn’t come when they heard you were in danger, along with the other females in your family with Trolls in the area? Our mother has called in her brothers to help. They’ll be here tonight for dinner,” Roman stated and stood.

“Really? More Fey! Oh, this is going to be so much fun. I have to pull the books out and start writing!” Jason ran to the door, but stopped to look back at his sister.

“Sis, they really can protect you. I think my dreams will stop now,” he said.

Sierra pushed at Garth’s hands until he finally released her. She walked over to her brother and kneeled down in front of him. “Listen, if the dreams come back tonight why don’t you come into my room and crawl into bed with me? I’ll hold you until you fall asleep.”

“I’m not a baby anymore.” He looked back at the men.

She leaned over and whispered into his ear. “We don’t have to tell them anything.” Jason smiled up at her and mouthed a thank you. He ran out of his room.

Sierra laughed, shaking her head, but Garth grabbed her, closing the door. She sighed.

“Why did you tell him he could come to your bed tonight? What if we’re in there with you? Wouldn’t it be a bit awkward for you?” Garth whispered in her ear. He slid his hands up under her shirt and circled her breasts with his fingers.

“I already told you two that I can’t have sex with you because I don’t know anything about either of you.” Sierra tugged away, her body burning with need. “Listen, my body wants you, but I won’t rush it. I almost lost the one thing I have kept for a special man. I was going to give it to Jack that night when I found out about him. It took me three months to make that choice. I’m not saying it will take that long again, but give me time to find out about you two, please.” She stared down at the floor.

Garth lifted her chin. “What were you going to give Jack, little one? Tell us.” Sierra tried to move, but he held her in place.

“I haven’t been with a man yet. I’m still a virgin in some respects,” Sierra whispered.

Both of them gasped and circled her. Heat poured out from their bodies in waves.

“No man has touched,” Roman’s hand slipped down between her legs pressing against her mound, “what is ours? How about this?” His other hand squeezed her ass. “Has anyone touched you there, Sierra?” Garth asked in her ear. He stood behind her rubbing and pinching her ass.

Roman ran his hand up and down her arms, as Garth still held on to her.

She couldn’t think straight. “I’ve told you I’m a virgin. That’s all you need to know. If you want to know the rest, you’ll have to figure it out. Or maybe if you’re good, you’ll find out how much I know about how to please a man,” Sierra teased, squirming out of their hands. She ran for the door and down the stairs, laughing. She heard their growls in her mind as she walked into the family room. Sierra stopped. Pack members filled the room. Many of them she hadn’t seen in years. People talked and laughed with her father.

No wonder Mom’s cooking up a storm

Chapter Six

“Hey, Mom, do you need any help?” Sierra entered the kitchen. Women gathered all around the kitchen island. They talked and prepared food to be baked. Her older sister stood in the middle instructing others where things should go.

“No, honey, we have it all under control. Go and rest. I don’t want those stitches to come apart again.” Mary Ann smiled.

Sierra turned and pretended to go upstairs, but darted towards the front door. With no guards around, she slipped outside, inhaling the cool air. Walking to the swing, she slowly leaned back and gazed at the clear night sky. Stars twinkled brightly; it would be a beautiful night for a walk, but she knew not to risk it.

Sighing, Sierra grabbed the blanket off the porch swing and pulled it over her, knowing supper wouldn’t be ready for another hour.

“I knew you would sneak out here. I swear it’s like a convention in there. Your sister sure is in the middle of it again,” Amy stated, stepping out to join her. She stared at the woods as she held on to the railing.

“I needed some time to myself. It’s been a long two days, and now I have these gargantuan men telling me they’re my mates. It’s bad enough that they say it, but now the whole family believes it. Do you know my dad even invited them to stay here in the house?” Sierra pointed to the house. “Amy, they’re gorgeous and they’ve been with so many women.” She paused and ran a hand through her hair.

“I mean, come on, I have hips and an ass that’s twice the normal size of any decent woman. My breasts are watermelons, and even my hair is a curly mess. On top of that, now I’m going to have scars running across my back, not to mention my black eye that will pop up soon enough. I can’t believe I almost gave Jack my virginity. It scares the shit out me. How do I know to trust any man again?” sierra whispered and closed her eyes, laying her head back against the swing.

Amy’s footsteps moved closer. Opening her eyes, Sierra smiled at her friend as she sat near the swing.

“Sierra, I don’t know about the trust part. I guess they’ll have to go slowly, but you have to give them a chance too. I heard your dad talking to mine, and he told him when the three of you are together, the colors of your energies entwine so tightly that you can’t tell one from the other.” Amy grabbed her hand.

“He said the haze was a bright blue, pure and strong. You know if this is true, they’re your mates. And I don’t know why you’re complaining about your hair. Hell, I wish I had hair like yours. I’ve seen the way those two stare at you, so you don’t have to worry about your body. They want to eat you up every time they look at you. So what if you don’t have the sexual experience? I’m sure they’d rather have you pure, knowing that you’re going to be with them. Unless, of course, they’re into sharing.” She wiggled her eyebrows at her.

“What?” Sierra gaped at Amy. “Don’t you think two is enough? I mean, come on. They’re already talking about shoving their cocks up my ass, pussy and in my mouth.” Heat rose in her face. Sierra remembered when they made love to her with their fingers.

“Okay, what are you thinking? It must be good because your face is flushed,” Amy teased.

“Well, let’s say they gave me a sample of what’s to come.” She smiled. “The ass thing scares me a little, even though the sound of it excites me. Hey, what’s a ball gag?”

“Where did you hear that?”

“Garth mentioned that they might have to use one on me, because, well, I might shout a lot.” Sierra snorted then burst out laughing.

Amy’s laughter joined hers.

“Well, from what I’ve read, a ball gag is used in BDSM sex. There are all sorts of toys out there. It sounds like fun, although the things I’ve read are wild. You know, my old boyfriend was a little into the scene, and how he could spank! I would end up so wet. I miss that. Oh, I forgot to tell you, Linda brought her needles. Do you still want to get your nipples pierced? She has my stuff ready. That’s why I came out here looking for you. Linda said while the pack discusses the recent attacks on the women around here, we can slip into your room. She has the rings you picked out.”

“Crap. I forgot about that, but hell yes I want them done. After I get them pierced, I want that tattoo on my back, but I’ll have to wait for that. Don’t have the money for one yet. Thank God I already paid Linda for the piercing. I called work and took vacation time. I don’t know if I’ll be able to go back. I’m not going to have shit for money, and the car has been running like crap lately.” Sierra pulled the blanket tighter around her.

“Good, I was afraid you’d chicken out.” Amy looked down at the floor. “Sierra, I’m really sorry about Thomas catching me yesterday. I thought he left for the day. I didn’t tell them anything, but they were so pissed. You know my brothers think of you like another sister. Thomas flipped out when he found the bandages.” Amy turned her gaze back to her.

“I know, and I guess it’s best anyway. I don’t know what Jack is going to do next. He was crazy tonight, like nothing even happened yesterday. He has help…I just know it. There’s no way he could do the things he did tonight without someone helping him. It’s just so gross to think I almost had sex with…with that thing.” She shivered, and goose bumps broke out all over her body.

“Oh, God Amy, you should have seen their cocks! They were so gross! Jack’s was like a dirt color, and I smelled the stink coming off all of them. It was like they hadn’t taken a bath in a month. Their teeth were all rotten—and get this—Jack had a huge wart on his cock.” Sierra glanced at Amy but noticed her mates standing behind them. Anger flared in their eyes.

“Can’t a girl have some time with her best friend?” Sierra moaned, closing her eyes.

“I’ll see you later. We’ll talk when they’re in the meeting,” Amy whispered in her ear before hurrying inside.

“We missed you. You don’t need to recall such things. If I could, I’d erase everything from your mind that happened the last two days,” Roman stated and gently pulled her legs onto his lap as he sat down on the swing.

Garth fitted his large frame in the small seat next to the swing.

Sierra sighed. “I would want to know what happened to me, Roman. It’s scary, yes, but I know now what he is.”

“So, tell us about what you’re going to do after dinner tonight. Who is this Linda person?” Garth’s fingers lifted her chin, and he stared into her eyes.

“If you must know,” Sierra said, “she’s an RN and a close friend. Linda does piercings, and tattoo work on the side. Yes, I’m going to get my nipples pierced tonight, so don’t say a word. This is my body, and the decision is not yours to make. I might even get a tattoo I wanted.” She narrowed her eyes at Garth and dared him to say anything.

“We’ll inspect them when she is finished, little one.” His hand reached under the blanket and pinched her nipple.

“Just to make sure they’re done right.” He smiled, his gaze heated.

“As for the tattoo,” Roman said, “we’ll see. Show us what you have in mind. We have several ourselves.” His hands traveled up her leg to her mound and rubbed against her jeans.

Sierra pulled her head away and looked at the stars. “If you would like to see the tattoo, the picture of it is upstairs in my desk, second drawer down. As for inspecting the piercing, we’ll see. You guys will be busy tonight, so I doubt you’ll get time away to pay much attention to little old me.” Sierra smiled at Roman, his hand heating her insides as its motion created friction against her nub.

His deep laugh rang out into the night. Garth’s laughter joined his.

A moan slipped out of her mouth as his hand pushed harder against her clit.

“You mean this picture, little one?” The picture appeared in Roman’s free hand.

Sierra shook her head. “I see I have lots to learn about you two. Garth, I don’t know anything about the sexual visions you have in your head,” she whispered. “I know nothing about the BDSM lifestyle except for what Amy has told me and a little of what I’ve read in books.” Sierra stared down at her hands.

“Look at me, Sierra,” Garth said.

Reluctantly, she met his gaze.

“We’re both thrilled we’ll be your teachers. There are many different things that bring pleasure to your body, and we’ll explore all of them. We would never hurt you, I promise. Even though sometimes some pain can come with pleasure, we’ll explore all of this,” Garth declared and leaned down, tracing his tongue around her lips. He pulled her bottom lip into his mouth and bit down, making her gasp. He pushed his tongue inside, tasting her.

“We have company, you two,” Roman stated and stood.

Garth whipped his head around, placing his body in front of her.

Sierra peeked around them and noticed two strange men. She sucked in her breath. They were both gorgeous and tall. They smiled at Roman and Garth.
