Held In Contempt (Of Magic and Contempt Book 2)

by Jade Thorn

  Toby has already thrust inside me a couple of times, but now he stills, looking at me. “What did you just say?”

  Inspiration hits me. “Well, I used to date a guy who was a shifter. Long story. Anyway, your eyes keep changing, so I know that your wolf is there. It seems like he likes me, at least that’s what my ex used to say. His wolf was always coming out to meet me because he liked me or something like that.” I shrug my shoulders like it means nothing unusual to me. Fuck, let him buy it, let him buy it. I wiggle my hips, wanting the contact to continue.

  “You dated a shifter?” He gives in a little as he thrusts into me again and we both groan. “How is that even possible?”

  “My Aunt had an affair with this guy, he was one. It was one of his sons that I dated. The whole thing got messy quick and it didn’t last. Come on baby, I need this, please, fuck me again.” I jiggle my hips again and his resistance ends. He pulls out slowly before slamming into me, over and over again. The pace is slower, but more intense. I can feel each inch of him sliding in and out, his tip sliding over my g-spot, rubbing it until it burns white hot with pleasure. I know I’m going to need to come again soon, but this time, his release is nowhere near ready. I literally can’t come without it.

  I grin at him and slowly lick up and down my right hand, and then up and down my left. He watches to see what I do next. I drop my left hand beneath us, taking his testicles as I gently roll and knead them in my slippery fingers. He groans long and loud and lets his head fall back. The pressure is starting to mount inside of him, but I’ll still be there long before he will.

  My other arm snakes around behind him, and I start to run my lubricated fingers around his dark hole, feeling him jerk up in surprise before he moans again. It never ceases to amaze me how much men like that. They’re always shocked too, which makes it feel really naughty.

  I clamp down on his cock again, making him work to get in and out, the extra friction ramping him up even further. With every thrust now, he’s gathering momentum, until he’s right there with me. Just as he’s about to come, I slip a finger just inside him and he roars his climax again, but this time, there’s a word, and I know I’m in deep shit.

  “MINE!” He roars, his canines extending, his wolf right there at the surface, his hips pumping madly with his release. His mouth comes crashing down towards my neck as I scream, all thoughts of my own release evaporating, although his energy is pumping into me and revitalising me. There’s a thunderous noise from the door and it suddenly bursts inwards, and I know I’m well and truly fucked now as I look up into the furious brown eyes of the alpha male that I met at the club earlier.

  Even as Toby’s mouth descends to my neck, the alpha is there, roaring at him to stop, and holding him in a headlock. Toby’s fingers are about to break my hips, and his cock is still spurting into the condom inside me as he struggles to get his head free to claim me. Oh, fuck no, anything but that. Toby’s hot, but a solid diet of him and him alone for the rest of my life is not what I want.

  They’re all there now, the four friends staring at me, checking me out while I’m unable to do more than shove at his chest and keep him from claiming me with his bite.

  “Felix, help me get him out of her. Sam, help her cover up. Joe, see if you can find some air freshener because the smell in here is going to drive us all crazy. Matt, keep watch in the hall, make sure the owner doesn’t come in until we’re ready.” He looks at me coldly. “Lady, you better tell me what the fuck is going on, or I swear to the goddess, I’ll let my boys rip you to pieces after they’ve all fucked you.”

  Well, none of that was a threat as far as I was concerned. I was now more than happy to reveal that I was supernatural like them, and because so little was known about Sirens, they wouldn’t know exactly what I was either.

  “Toby, you will back off and submit.” I tell him, using a strong croon in my voice. I know that my eyes are flashing a silvery blue, despite being green. He immediately stops struggling and falls to his knees on the floor, his head down and to the side, showing his neck in complete submission to me.

  They all look at me in shock. I hop down from the counter and start dressing as Sam passes me articles of clothing. Long tapered fingers hold out my underwear first as his dark eyes watch me hungrily, then my leggings followed by my bra, dress and shoes. His jet black hair flops in his face, it’s shaved to just above his ears and then longer on top. It suits his obvious Asian heritage. When I look closer I can see that he’s dyed the ends a deep midnight blue. It’s not obvious at first, but it really suits him.

  “Toby, you will get dressed.” I tell him, and he complies immediately.

  “How can you do that? I’m still his alpha, I can feel his connection. I can’t even feel what you’re doing to him through that bond, it’s like you’re just talking to him, but I know that his wolf is cowering at the moment. What the fuck are you, lady?”

  “I was a woman in need of a fuck, and certainly not needing to be claimed. Your friend will be fine in an hour. He’ll remember me, but not my face. Don’t worry, I won’t come back here again, or to the club where you saw me earlier. I’ll do my level best to avoid you all, and I ask that you do me the same courtesy. Don’t worry about the door, I’ll tell the manager that I locked it accidentally and had a panic attack. I’ll pay for the damage. Get him some water, he’s probably a bit dehydrated after all that.” I smirk and turn to leave.

  “No, no way. I saw that guy tonight. I was ready to fight him off when you left. He was delirious he wanted you so badly. Is that what you’ve done to him? Is he a basket case now like that guy? What did you call him, a stage five clinger? Damn woman, you’re cold. You know that Toby thinks that you’re his mate, right? You can’t just walk out of here without telling me what the fuck you are and how to counter this shit.”

  I bend down to Toby who collapsed to his knees again once he was dressed, and looked into his beautiful blue eyes. They’re a little hazy, but I can already see him coming to. I need to leave before he gets a good look at me, or the charm will have been wasted. It’s much harder for them to forget me if they can remember my face. “He’s fine. It doesn’t last. He’ll be a little out of it but back to normal within the hour. As for the clinging – yeah, he’s going to be like that for a month or so, hopefully not the whiny little bitch that the other guy was but give him time and he’ll forget. Mock him and make fun of him, make it sound as ridiculous as it is. The sillier he feels, the faster he’ll let it go. I’m not his mate, my kind don’t work like that, and that’s all I’ll say about what I am. I’ll know in future that for wolves, twice will have to be enough, although hot damn, I bet we could have had three or four more rounds.”

  I sigh lustily. Of course, I find a beast that can keep up with me and he goes mental after just two orgasms. Humans usually only last two, three if they’re strong, but their recovery is slower, and they’re so clingy.

  “Damn girl, you came three times in less than an hour and you want more? You should have invited us all in.” Grins Matt from the hall. Like the others, he’s tall, although not the tallest of them here. His short dirty blonde hair is just long enough not to be a spike, just enough for a girl to grab onto. I look him up and down appreciatively, and then stop myself. No, no, nope. Not going there. His hazel eyes twinkle merrily at me, as though he can see what I’m thinking. He’s too confident by far and it’s as sexy as hell.

  I laugh. “Down boy. I came twice, he came three times, and hell yes, I could always go more, that’s the problem. I don’t ever do repeats though, I don’t want a relationship, well-fucked men get too possessive and I just don’t need the drama. It’s why I fuck them and charm them to forget me.”

  “You’re a succubus?” Felix asks, his lip curling up in a sneer. What is it with all of them? Out in the bar they all looked hot, but in here under the bright lights? I can see how truly magnificent they all are. Damn! His light blonde hair is long enough to show a bit of a wave, and it looks like he might ha
ve used a bit of product on it to get it ‘just so’. His cheekbones are chiseled and he has a strong chin with a cleft in it. I sigh, it looks totally lickable, and don’t get me started on his mouth. Plump lips that look like they’re made to be bitten. Fuck, I’m no longer hungry but I can’t stop looking at these delicious men!

  “Please, they’re amateurs. Thanks for the help though boys, nice to meet you alpha.” I go to step past him and he grabs my wrist.

  “No, you’re not going anywhere until we know he’s ok.” He growls at me.

  “I’m telling you he’s fine, and he can’t see my face, or it breaks the charm, and then he will be actively looking for me instead of just whining about it. Neither of us wants that.” I let my power flow to the surface again. “You will submit and let me go.” I tell him, my croon rumbling with authority through my voice. I really do hate compulsion, but I’ll do whatever it takes to keep safe, and something tells me that this bunch of wolves is anything but safe. I could let go with my siren call, but the humans outside would hear that and be affected too. I’m not explaining how I managed to make a stack of people deaf with my voice, so it’s not an option just now.

  They all drop to their knees, the others even going down flat to the floor. One, I think his name was Joe, even rolls to his back and presents his belly. Curly brown hair flops back from his face and his brown eyes watch me closely. It’s a calculated look until he smiles and flashes a set of dimples at me. Seriously. Dimples! I said jump and he did it as hard as he could. That boy has ‘trap’ all over him, if he got his hands on me, I think he’d claim me before I could blink twice. Definitely dangerous. The alpha though, he stays on his knees, but he doesn’t let me go.

  “Stay.” He commands using his full alpha strength against me, only it doesn’t work like that. Not when I’m embracing my power. It does tickle though, insanely, and I cannot hold back the giggle to save his dignity, no matter how much I try.

  “Sorry baby,” I tell him, “it just doesn’t work that way, and it really tickles. Please don’t make me command you any harder, because I can, and I don’t want to hurt the others.” My eyes find Joe on his back, his expression is now a little dazed. He’s not a weak wolf by what I have sensed from the others, but he’s certainly the weakest wolf in this room.

  “Phone.” The alpha mutters, pulling his out of his pocket and opening it up to add a new contact before handing it to me.

  “Fine.” I growl back, giving him my details. First name only and my mobile number. “But if you bug me, I’ll block you and change it.” I warn him. He nods, but he’s still holding me. I frown at him when I see that he’s dialling the number. Huh, I hadn’t thought of giving him a fake, but my phone is on silent. He glares at me until I pull it out of my pocket showing that it’s ringing, and his number is on the screen.

  I reject the call and quickly add him to my contacts. He growls when he sees his listing as Alpha Hole. I laugh. “Well, it’s not like you gave me your name now, is it? You’re lucky to be getting my number at all.” He lets go of my wrist, and it’s odd, but I miss his grip. Who knew I had a fetish for being dominated? Because that’s all it is, right?

  As I turn to go, he growls at me again. “Marcus.”

  “What?”

  “My name is Marcus.”

  I nod and spin on my heel, heading out towards the manager to deal with the situation there. There’s a bounce in my step that hasn’t been there for a while, and I can feel the flush in my cheeks, I even swagger. Rather than a day or two, I think it will more likely be four, maybe even a week, before I need to do this again.

  Using my extra energy as compulsion, I smooth things over with the manager, and I’m out of there in minutes. I wonder how Shay’s doing with her twins and I laugh. I think I did better than she did tonight. It’s time for me to head home before the wolves emerge from the back, no point in undoing what I managed to achieve. I press the fob on my keys as soon as I’m clear of the door. My car beeps a little forlornly, a bit like my heart does leaving these men. All the more reason to leave them, I can’t afford to get attached. Within minutes I’m in my car zooming home and for once I’m glad I let Shay drag me out to a nightclub.

  Chapter 2

  Marcus

  I can tell as soon as she leaves, there’s an attraction, like a magnet, pulling me towards her. It started as a hum in the bar earlier, and it’s getting stronger the more time I spend around her. It shouldn’t, but the fact that she could withstand an alpha call from me turns me on, and her compulsion? I’ve never felt anything like it. It took everything my wolf and I could pull together to resist even an inch of it, and she said she could have used a stronger one but didn’t want to hurt the others.

  My wolf shivers inside me, a tingle running from his snout to his tail and then down into his balls. He wants her, he wants to do what Toby nearly did, he wants to sink his teeth into her, leave his mark, and make sure she understands that she belongs to him. It’s totally fucked up, because we both know she’s not our mate, she couldn’t be, she’s not a wolf. I shudder again, if this is what I’m feeling, then Toby is in for hell. The bastard had a taste of her, three by his account at least. We’re going to have to chain him up, and this woman and I, we’re going to have words. Lots of words.

  And then I’m going to fuck her.

  Joe

  She’s a goddess, and I want her with a longing I’ve never felt. When her alpha call rolled through me, my cock went rock hard and my wolf rolled us onto our backs. She wanted us to submit? We would do anything for her, endure the ultimate humiliation, humble ourselves so much she couldn’t help but be pleased with our response. Maybe she would bend over and tickle our belly, our cock. Maybe she would ride us.

  But no, that fucker Marcus had to keep taking her attention. I know she saw us, saw us doing this to please her, and boy, would we like to please her. Anything to get inside of her, and then, when she was relaxed and limp against us, then we’d claim her. Fuck the others, this female was ours.

  “Fuck Joe, get up off there, it’s a fucking bathroom man, it’s like a sewer in here.” Growls Matt. I roll on my side and get up awkwardly and the others laugh. “Can’t you even do a crunch to get up?” he laughs.

  “Fuck off,” I growl, “My cock is so hard if I did that I’d snap the fucking thing in half.” I lift the bottom of my shirt showing the head and a good part of the shaft above the waistband of my jeans. I undo the button and heave a sigh of relief. The imprint of the back of it and the fabric around it is clear. I slide a hand in to protect myself while I edge my fly down. The individual teeth have left their own imprints. Damn, that feels so much better, even with my brothers looking on though, it’s still not going down.

  “Put that shit away damnit,” says Felix, “if Toby sees you with that out while he still thinks she’s here, he’s going to rip your fucking throat out.”

  “I can’t dude, I’ve never been so hard, there’s no room in my pants, it’s killing me.”

  “Then go into the men’s and deal with it. We don’t need him freaking out.”

  “Knock him out.” Orders Marcus, and we all look at him in surprise. “You’re all sporting boners, even I am, I don’t know about you, but my wolf is slobbering stupid for her.” He winces, his wolf obviously having something to say about that. “We’re all releasing pheromones, fuck, we’re all responding to hers. This is just a clusterfuck waiting to happen. Sock him, and we’ll pass him off as drunk. Joe, sort that fucking shit out, and maybe buy some bigger pants if they’re too small for what you’re packing. Do I have to wipe your fucking ass too?”

  “Hey, it’s never been an issue before, I’ve just never been so fucking hard. I’ll be back in a minute, this isn’t going to take long at all, and don’t try and tell me that the rest of you are any different.”

  I push the door open to the men’s room. At least I can breathe clearly in here. The smell of sex in the other bathroom was overwhelming, even with the door busted off its hinges. I
grab some hand towels and remember what I saw as I came into the room. Toby was balls deep in her, I could see the muscles in his ass clenched tight as he tried to get even deeper, she was sitting on the counter between sinks, her breasts heaving with her breath, her skin flushed, her green eyes blissful… and I come. Just like that, without even touching myself. I barely get the towel there in time before I mess my pants, and I just come, and come, and come. I imagine myself in Toby’s place, balls deep, and before I catch my breath my balls draw up and I come again, so hard my vision blacks out for a bit. I feel my canines lengthening and I let out a roar.

  “MINE!” My wolf growls through me, and I come again. Marcus appears in the doorway, a shocked expression on his face. The fucker thinks he can take her from me. I drop the soaked piece of paper and lunge for him, my teeth going for his throat.

  “Back off.” Growls Marcus with a full alpha tone, and it hits me like a brick wall, but I’m able to push through it. I have to protect my mate. He barely manages to get his hands up in time, he’d expected me to drop and submit. I’m not a weak wolf, but of all the wolves here tonight, I’m the least strong, and yet here I am, snapping at the fucker’s neck. Damn straight he’s not taking her from me. I’m so confident, I don’t see it coming, I just feel the impact of his fist, and once again my vision goes dark.
