Vega Brothers: Alexander: BBW Paranormal Romance Reluctant Bride (The Bear Shifters of Vega Ranch Book 3) (9 page)

“What about my mouth?” she asked, licking her lips.

“Hmm,” he groaned. “I don’t know.”

She smirked at him as she dropped to her knees. “Then we better find out.”

Elena bit her lip as she unbuttoned his shorts and pulled the zipper down. His shorts tumbled to the ground and his huge cock sprung out in front of her face.

“Mmmm,” she smiled as she gripped the shaft and stared at it hungrily. She had been fucked continuously by this cock over the past three days and she was always still hungry for more.

Alexander groaned as she licked the soft skin under his shaft from the base to the tip with one long, slow lick. He was rock hard in her hand and she opened her mouth to take him in. She stretched her lips open and her throat burned as she pressed her head forward, sucking him off.

They had really hit it off over the past few days and Elena was quickly falling in love. He was the strong silent type and he listened to her intently as she talked about everything. He had such a calming, peaceful presence about him and she loved how she felt when she was around him. She felt so safe, so desired, so nurtured, and warm. They spoke about everything except what was going to happen in two days when he would be forced to go off to war.

She didn’t even want to think about it. At first this was just supposed to be a fun, sexual fling but the feelings had developed and she was feeling the pull towards him more than ever. She was starting to see what Ava had been talking about all along.

“Fuck,” Alexander grunted as she hollowed her cheeks, sucking him hard. She traced her tongue along the tip of his cock and smiled as he grimaced in pleasured agony.

“Do you want to come?” she asked teasingly as she slid her hand up and down his wet cock.

“Yes please,” he said with a gasp.

She bit her bottom lip as she hammered his cock up and down with her hand. His abs were flexed above her giving her an incredible view as she stroked him.

His breathing turned into gasps of breaths and he began cursing under his breath. She grinned as she took him in her mouth once more and went to work sucking vigorously and trying to draw his seed out of him.

“Oh, Elena,” he grunted right before he released his warm load into her mouth. She moaned as she swallowed it down, enjoying every last drop.

He was staring down at her with heated brown eyes. “I love you,” he said.

She laughed as she got to her feet and wiped the corner of her mouth with her finger.
The things men will say as they’re coming.

“Time to go get some hot coffee and good food,” she said, walking towards the cabin to get her flip flops.

“I love you,” he repeated in a serious tone.

She stopped with her back to him and sighed. “Are you just saying that because I gave you a blow job?”

“Yes,” he said with a chuckle. “And no.”

She turned slowly and looked everywhere but at him.

“I love you, Elena,” he said. “You have transformed me. You make me a better person. I’ve never felt anything like the way I feel when I’m around you. I love you. And I want to spend every single day of my life with you.”

Elena took a deep breath and looked into his eyes. They were pleading with her to say the same thing. But how could she put herself out there like that? Especially when they were going their separate ways in only two days.

“But we only have one full day left.”

He flinched at her words. It was as if they had an unspoken agreement over the past few days to never bring that up, and she had just broken it.

“Do you love me?” he asked, his posture stiff and tense while he waited for her answer.

“You’re leaving,” she said, feeling her eyes start to itch with tears.

“That’s not what I asked,” he said. “Do you love me?”

Elena’s eyes dropped to the dirt. How could she lie to him? But how could she tell him the truth when he was going to leave her?

“Yes,” she whispered quietly.

He didn’t answer and when she looked up his face was beaming with happiness. That just broke her heart even more.

“Come,” she said, walking across the camp, continuing past him without looking at him. “Let’s go get some lunch.”

Alexander and Elena were holding hands as they finally emerged out of the forest from their three-day sex marathon in his cabin. Alexander was loving every moment of this.

While it lasted.

The roaring of his grandfather’s motorcycle, which was now Julius’, ripped down the road with his blond brother riding on top. Alexander’s chest tightened as he watched him drive it into the garage. He had to make things right with his brother before he left to go to war.

The two of them had been butting heads for the past four or five years, since Alexander’s bear began pining for a mate. It was time to fix it for good.

“Do you mind going ahead, babe?” he asked the gorgeous girl on his arm.

“Sure,” she said, skipping ahead. “I desperately need a hot shower. I’m so sick of bathing in the river.”

He took a deep breath as he watched her cross the field to the house.
How can I ever leave her?

If it had been hard before then it would be pure torture now, knowing that Elena was in the world and they had to be apart.

First things first.

He walked over to the garage while rubbing the back of his neck, thinking of what he could say but he kept coming up blank. Julius was the talker of the four brothers. He always had
too much
to say.

Julius glanced over his shoulder when Alexander walked in. The grizzly bear shifter turned back to his motorcycle, shaking his head. “You know Ava was really looking forward to seeing her sister this week and she only got to spend about fifteen minutes with her.”

Alexander lowered his eyes and sighed. He hadn’t even thought about that.

“I’m sorry,” Alexander said. “Just add it to the list of shitty things I’ve done over the past few years.”

“I would but the thick notebook full of shitty things that Alexander has done is already full.”

“Look, I know I’ve been an asshole,” Alexander said, feeling a flush creep across his cheeks. “But, what can I do? Come on, Julius. You haven’t exactly been Mr. Perfect either.”

Julius frowned as he rubbed a smudge off of the motorcycle’s fender. “Does it matter? You’re leaving in two days anyway.”

Alexander flinched. It always felt like a low blow to be reminded that he had to leave his mate. “It does to me. I want to make it right.”

An evil grin flashed over Julius’ face and as quickly as it appeared, it was gone.
Uh oh
.

“There is something you can do,” Julius said, standing up with a serious look on his face.

“What is it?” Alexander asked.

Julius stared at him with his hands on his hips. “Punch yourself in the face.”

“What?” Alexander said, jerking his head back.

“Punch yourself in the face,” Julius repeated. “Hard.”

“That’s stupid,” Alexander said, shaking his head.

Julius crossed his arms and thrust his chin in the air. “It’s what I want.”

“You’re an idiot.”

“Maybe,” Julius replied. “But you’re not going to get this idiot’s forgiveness until you punch yourself in the face.”

Alexander rolled his eyes. “Fine.”

Julius smiled as Alexander took a deep breath and looked down at his hand as it curled into a fist. It was huge; cinder block huge. He had seen numerous times the devastating effect that his fists had on chins. It wasn’t pretty.

Just do it.

He closed his eyes and swung. Hard.

It felt like a flash of lighting shooting through his face as his thunderous fist connected. Water flooded his eyes as blood poured out of his nose and his legs went weak. He reached out for something as the room started spinning and his vision went black. He shook the stars out of his head and when the pounding in his ears finally subsided it was replaced with Julius’ howls of laughter.

He watched his brother bent over laughing as he recovered from the devastating punch.

“Wait,” Julius said, as he pulled out his cell phone. “Do it again so I can videotape it and put it on YouTube. That was hilarious.”

“You’re an idiot,” Alexander said, wiping the blood from his nose.

“Me?” Julius said, shaking with laughter. “You’re the one who just TKO’d himself. I would have settled for a hug.”

Alexander held out his open palm, trying to bridge the gap that had separated the two brothers for so long. “Brothers?”

Julius reached out and shook it. “Brothers,” he said, nodding. “Just don’t get all PMS-y on us again or I’ll make you kick yourself in the face next time.”

Alexander laughed. They still had a long way to go but they had finally taken the first step.

“Hey, there they are,” Khan said from the table as Alexander and Julius walked into the kitchen. “Snooty and the beast.”

Julius snatched a French fry off of Khan’s plate as he walked by. “You pronounced beauty wrong.”

Khan’s lip curled up in a snarl as Julius hurried away, grinning as he stuffed the fry into his mouth.

Bailey placed her hand on Khan’s. “Let’s not commit murder over a French fry, honey,” she said, taking a handful of her fries and dropping them onto Khan’s plate. “Here. Have some of mine.”

Khan grunted as he turned back to his food.

Alexander caught Elena’s eye and smiled. She was sitting at the table with his three brothers, her sister Ava, Bailey, and Liam. There was a pile of hamburgers on a large plate in the middle of the table.

“I saved you a seat,” Elena said, pulling out the chair beside her.

A feeling of weightlessness overcame him as he sat down next to his mate. She smelled better than the hamburgers with her lavender soap and grapefruit scented shampoo. Her blond hair was still wet, combed back and looking gorgeous as usual. She reached forward, grabbed three burgers off the platter and dropped them on his plate.

Alexander smiled. She was amazing but she still had a lot to learn. Alexander ate at least five burgers in one sitting.

“So Alexander, eh?” Julius said to Elena with a wry grin on his face. “What’s the attraction there? Does he put the erotic in neurotic or something?”

Elena chuckled and for once Alexander wasn’t annoyed by Julius’ jokes. He actually laughed along with him.

“It’s his abs,” Elena teased. “He puts the ab in abnormal.”

Everyone at the table laughed, except for Liam who was building a tower out of his French fries. Hannibal and Khan looked so relieved to have their brother Alexander back. He had been gone for so long.

Julius took a bite of his burger and Alexander grinned. “God, I love that sound.”

“What sound?” Julius asked with his mouth full of chewed hamburger.

“The sound of you shutting up.”

“Enjoy it while you can,” Ava said, teasingly. “It doesn’t happen very often.”

Julius glared playfully at his mate.

“What happened to your eye?” Elena asked, gently touching Alexander’s face. “It’s all black.”

He really knocked himself good. It still wasn’t healed even with his enhanced shifter healing.

Liam looked up from his tower of fries. “You have a scar like Daddy,” he said in his squeaky voice.

“Liam,” Bailey warned. “It’s not nice to say that. Daddy got that scar in the war from fighting bad guys.”

Khan lowered his narrowed eyes as his three brothers burst out laughing around him.

“What?” Bailey asked, looking confused.

“He never told you?” Hannibal asked.

Bailey’s puzzled eyes darted around the table. “Tell me what?”

Khan shook his massive head. “I might have fabricated the story I told you.”

“Fabricated?” Bailey asked with raised eyebrows. “You mean you lied?”

“A little white lie,” Khan said looking at his mate with a nervous expression on his face.

Bailey frowned. “So the story of you running into the orphanage, taking out thirty terrorists singlehandedly and saving all of the poor children wasn’t true.”

Alexander bit his lip while Julius and Hannibal shook with laughter.

“No,” Khan admitted. “I saw that on an episode of Walker, Texas Ranger.”
