Movement had her looking at Damien. He pulled out his phone and held it up. The sound of his camera flashing made her smile. If she wasn’t constantly taking pictures, he was. “That’ll be for when we’re not together.” He held out his hand and she stood. The heels took a little getting used to but she managed to make it to him without so much as stumbling. “Now, I want you leaned over the bed. Legs spread wide.”
“Yes, Damien.”
The silk comforter was smooth and cool against Georgina’s heated skin. Fingertips traced up the back of her thighs and desire for more took over. The area where she’d been flogged and spanked was sensitive as Damien pressed his lips against the tender flesh. “I love you, Georgina.”
The rate of her pulse exploded. Her head spun around and Damien’s fingers bit into her thighs painfully. “If your ass wasn’t bruised I’d spank you hard for turning back to look at me. Face forward.”
For the life of her, she couldn’t. Georgina was frozen in her position. The need to see his face above all else overpowered her to defy him. “Spank me, I don’t care. Tell me again. Let me see you say it.”
Damien’s head cocked to the side. “Geor—”
“Please,” she begged. “If only this once.”
Damien’s hands gripped her hips, and flipped her to her back. The shirt he was wearing flew to the ground, and the moment he stepped out of his jeans his body covered hers. “You’ve been defying me a lot lately.”
“And I’ve loved every minute of it. So have you.” Georgina couldn’t withhold the smile that came with the truth of her words. “Enough of this. Tell me again. Tell me you love me.”
The darkness of his eyes was all master. Georgina swallowed and turned her head. The submissive in her knew she’d gone too far. “I’m sorry, Damien.” Pressure from his knees separated her legs wide. Her eyes closed as he began kissing down her neck.
“That’s more like it.” Damien’s held himself up with one arm as the other settled between her legs. Nails raked up the sensitive skin until his fingers came into contact with her wet pussy. In circular motions he rubbed her juices into her swollen folds.
Georgina moved her hips against the friction. A moan came from her mouth as he pushed deep inside of her. His reach was so long that she tilted her hips to take him in deeper. Damien leaned back on his knees and ran his finger over her mouth. The lipstick smeared across her cheek as he grabbed her face. “You are not allowed to speak until I say. Is that clear?”
“Yes, Damien.”
“You can make all the sounds you want. You can scream. Moan. But no words, no matter what I say.”
She was quiet as she watched him worship her body with his eyes. At the tightening of her stomach, Georgina tried to push away the need to come. Damien was rubbing against her G-spot again and she wasn’t sure how long she was going to be able to fight it.
Damien’s finger entered into her mouth and the urge to suck it deep nearly was her undoing. But she couldn’t. Not unless Damien told her to.
“I have to admit.” Damien’s fingers withdrew from her and she moaned while he pushed the tip of his cock into her pussy. “Ever since Austin and I came home and I saw you on the bed, kneeling for me. I knew then. Maybe I knew it before, but at that moment it was crystal clear to me.” He thrust his thick length in deep, and Georgina moaned, but forced her eyes to stay open to see him. There was no way she was going to miss seeing any of these words come from his mouth.
When he didn’t continue, she nearly screamed against the frustration clouding her mind and body. Heat poured off of her in waves. The release was craving to escape, but she wouldn’t give in. Not until she heard him say he loved her again. To her face.
Damien leaned forward and scooped her leg into the crook of his arm. His body was directly against hers. The way his hips dug into her thighs while he surged to new depths had her body shaking. “Come for me, doll. Let me feel your sweet pussy tightening around my cock. Give this to me, and I will give you what you desire the most. What you’re dying to hear me say. “
The thrusts increased until Damien was pounding into her. Georgina screamed as her pent-up orgasm exploded from her in waves of deliciousness.
“Good girl.” Damien slowed down and slid his hand behind her neck. His lips lowered to hers, barely touching. It was enough to make shivers race down her body. He rose slowly, and looked deep into her eyes. “I love you, Georgina. More than anything.” His eyes scanned over her face. “There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you. Nothing. When we’re separated, I feel lost. I have Austin, but I know he feels the same way as I do. With one of us missing, our mating just doesn’t work the same.”
Tears came to her eyes and she refrained from pulling his mouth to hers. She wanted to tell him more than anything that she loved him, too. Damn the no-talking order. Her mouth parted, but his finger quickly covered it. “Shh. Not a word from you. Show me with your body. Touch me.”
Georgina wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled his mouth down to hers. Her free leg clutched to his hip tightly as she locked him to her body. The thrusts began to increase in speed. A moan came from her mouth and he drank it in as his tongue swept against hers.
“Fuck, your pussy feels so good.” Damien’s other arm wrapped under her lower back and he pulled her up to straddle his waist as he sat up. His cock pushed deeper and her low cry poured through the room. Georgina rotated her hips while she moved against him. “That’s it. Fuck me good. Show me how much you love me,” he whispered.
The thick muscles in Damien’s arms flexed as his fingers jerked at the hooks of the corset. The moment her breasts were free he sucked her nipple into her mouth. Spasms hit Georgina hard. She screamed out and her fingers clutched at his short hair. Her body lowered against his grasp on her shoulder and he grabbed the front of the remaining hooks on the corset and used it to pull her down against his cock, harder.
“Oh, shit.” Damien’s thickness swelled inside of her and Georgina dug her nails into his shoulder. Warmth shot deep and she moaned at the sensation. She tightened herself around him greedily, wanting to take in every ounce of his cum.
Sweat covered his body and he collapsed to the bed, pulling her against him. Contentment settled over her. Why had she ever been afraid of this? Her mates were her life, and suddenly she knew everything would turn out okay with The Big C. It had to.
Chapter 14
The cork board was covered with a large map in the center and photos of all the big players of The Big C. Damien studied each one, letting everything from their height and weight, down to where their private homes were located, imprint in his mind. It was crucial that he knew exactly who he was dealing with, and what their special skills were. He could not afford to have someone blindside him. Sebastian was going to be hard enough to beat, but if he were to get ganged up on he needed know how to pick apart his opponent.
“So, Jack, you bring members of Whiskey River Ranch up through here.” Logan pointed to the map and gestured to the area on the right side of the ranch house that housed The Big C’s headquarters. “Jacob, from The Big C, should let you through the border easily. Knox, you bring Hidden Hills up through the back.” Logan took a deep breath and turned to him. “And I’ll come with Damien and the members of Dark Days through the front. Depending on how they accept us, we’ll have to prepare from there. No mistakes. Everyone keep your eyes peeled. We leave soon. There’s no time to waste. The last thing we need is Sebastian catching wind of what’s going on.”
Damien pressed his lips together and stared straight ahead at the land he would hopefully lead. Pressure gripped his shoulder and he turned to Knox.
“You okay, brother?”
“Yep. Just letting everything process.” He grabbed his water from the table and took a drink. His eyes instinctively searched out Austin. The mate he’d come to love was sitting at the back table studying the binder full of faces that filled the new ranch.
Knox shifted in front of him and he could sense
his brother’s nervousness. “Damien, I know we’ve had a rocky past, but you need to know that everything I’ve done has been in case this moment ever came. I’ve spent my life trying to raise you and Rogue right, and although we’re technically not that far off in age, I still felt responsible for the two of you after our parents passed. I just want you to know, you’ve got this. It’s what you were meant for.”
A smile came to Damien’s face. Knox had beaten the hell out of them growing up. He had constantly pushed them to the limits, and now as he spoke, Damien felt a whole new respect for his oldest brother. “Thank you. For everything. You always did have me and Rogue’s back no matter what.” He laughed. “And I happen to think you did a damn good job raising us, considering the path we were given.”
Knox nodded. “Just know I still have your back. Always.” His brother pulled him into his arms and Damien couldn’t help that his eyes grew big. He let the moment take over and hugged Knox back hard.
Rogue walked up, smiling. “Break it up you two before I bust out the tissues.” He slapped Damien’s shoulder. “You ready, little brother?”
“As ready as I’ll ever be.” Damien stepped back and glanced at Austin. His mate was so consumed, nothing was breaking his focus. Not the laughter or loud talking. He wished he’d come over by him though.
“How’s Georgie?” Rogue’s face became concerned. He knew his brother and mate had gotten extremely close in those eight days that he was gone.
The phone in Damien’s pocket vibrated and he took it out. It was a text from her saying she loved him. “Georgie’s strong. She tries to show that it doesn’t affect her, and that she’s okay, but I know she’s scared. Myles has her at the bar. I feel safe with her there. Myles alone could protect her from any man that came near, but Lynna, Lewis, and Daniel are there, too.”
“Good.” Rogue shoved his hands in his pockets and looked toward Austin. “Your mates love you very much. I don’t think I’ve seen your guy look up from that book since I’ve got here.”
Once again Damien’s heart pounded with pride. “I lucked out. I don’t think I deserve the two of them at all.”
“I felt the same way at first.” Knox laughed. “Mates are a wonderful gift, indeed.”
Rogue shifted uncomfortably. “I’m sure they are.” His eyes shot across the room to Cooper. The guy was staring at him like a lovesick puppy.
“Can I talk to you for a minute?” Damien pulled Rogue over to the side. “What are you doing, bro?”
“What do you mean?” Rogue wouldn’t even look him in the eyes.
Damien felt his anger rise. “You know what I mean. What are you waiting for?”
The power of his brother’s wolf pushed against his own. This was where they always had their problems. They were all too alpha to be close for too long.
“We’ve been talking on the phone, okay? You can thank Georgina for that. I just need time. Cooper understands that.”
A laugh exploded from Damien’s mouth and Rogue’s eyes shot up to him, angrily. “Cooper understands, does he? Look at his pain, brother. Stop doing this and dive in, head first. There’s no preparing for a mate. You can’t work out your problems and then try to put your toes in the water. Trust me on this. You’re only making things harder by not facing the reality of your situation. Cooper will help you through whatever problems you have. I promise. It’s time to man up, Rogue.”
“This coming from my little brother. Wow.” Rogue shook his head. “You were always direct, but wise in the advice you gave. I might just take it, this time. We’ll see what happens after tonight.”
Damien nodded. “Please do. You won’t regret it.”
“You sound like Georgina.” Rogue laughed. “I do like your Georgie.” He pressed his hand against his heart and began to tap. “If she ever leaves you I’m snagging her for my own.”
A growl came from Damien’s mouth, but he knew Rogue was just playing with him. “Well, if you do, you better start running because I’d hunt you down. Georgie belongs to me. Forever.”
“Says who?” Rogue raised an eyebrow at him.
“Says me.” Austin held the binder in his hand and smiled as he joined their conversation. “She belongs to both of us. If you go running away with her, you better be able to run pretty damn fast. That’s my girl you’re talking about there.”
Rogue ruffled Austin’s hair. “I guess I won’t take your mistress away from you,” he whispered. “You’d be lost if I did.”
The drop of Damien’s jaw couldn’t be helped. How did Rogue know that? “Georgie.” He snapped. “She told you that, Rogue?”
“She’s a switch.” Rogue bit his lip. “Was I not supposed to know that?”
Damien laughed. “Oh, no it’s fine.” She was so going to get it good when he met back up with her. He was going to get pleasure bending her over his knee. And there was no way she was getting up until he made her come three times!
The room began to quiet down and Damien watched as everyone started getting their stuff together. This was it. The moment his life had been prepared for. It was time for him to step up to an alpha.
* * * *
Austin was in no mood for conversation. He sat in the front seat of the M3 and held Damien’s hand tightly. They were only ten minutes from The Big C and Austin was having a hell of a time controlling his emotions. If it would have been him fighting, he would have been absolutely fine, but his mate. God, it torn him up just thinking about the things that could go wrong. Cars were aligned ahead of them and behind. They were literally trapped in the middle of a damn wolf parade.
The fingers laced with his tightened and Austin looked up. “You know I love you, right? And I’m not saying that because we’re going in there and something might happen,” Damien rushed in. “I just need you to know. You have to hear me say it.”
“In case something happens,” Austin said, defiantly.
Damien shook his head. “I told Georgina I loved her. You were asleep downstairs. I needed to tell you too, but it hadn’t felt like the right time until this moment. I do love you, Austin. More than you will ever truly know.”
The lump in Austin’s throat felt like it was choking him. “Well, I love you, too.” He brought up Damien’s hand and pressed his lips against their joined fingers. “You and Georgina are my life. Remember that as you’re out there. You focus on every move that motherfucker takes and you bring him down. I will not go back to Georgina without you.” Austin felt his eyes burning and he quickly looked out the window.
It was the truth. He knew if he saw someone kill his mate that nothing would stand in his way of taking that person down. Even if it did result in his own death.
Damien squeezed his hand, painfully. “If something happens, you are to leave immediately and get to Georgina. I will not have her left completely alone. Do you understand me?”
Austin couldn’t look at him. Wouldn’t.
“I will turn this car around right now unless you promise me. Austin!” Damien’s hand left his and fingers gripped into his shirt, jerking his attention to his mate. “Right now, God dammit. Promise me.”
“You know I can’t do that.” Austin’s eyes stared into his. “Are you willing to tell me that if you saw someone kill me that you could easily walk away and go to Georgie?” A pained expression came over his mate. “No, you couldn’t, and neither could I.” He pulled Damien’s fist from his shirt and held it between his two hands. Slowly he brought it to his chest, and pressed it into his heart. “You say you love me. And I tell you I love you back. That in itself is a beautiful thing. Don’t ruin this by asking something of me that you know I can’t do.”
“Fuck.” Damien reached behind Austin’s neck and pulled his mouth to his. This brief kiss was what Austin wanted. It was acceptance in what he’d said. He wasn’t leaving if something happened, plain and simple. “Well, here we go.”
Austin felt nausea take over at the looming gate. The big metal letters got closer by the second and he turned to Dam
ien. “You got this. Remember what I said. Never take your eyes off him. Don’t worry about the people around you. We will make sure no one comes even close.”
A quick nod was all Damien gave him. The trucks before them began to park and Damien threw the car into gear behind them. People began walking over, apparently confused. Austin looked toward the right at the hill next to the ranch. He knew Jack and the Whiskey River Ranch pack was sitting up there waiting for this moment. Like clockwork, Jack’s black curly hair came into view and the mass of men that appeared was an overwhelming sight.
Austin quickly focused his attention to the group that was beginning to crowd around them. The door to the main house flew open and a blond-haired man walked out, shirtless. Austin knew who he was immediately from the pictures. Sebastian.
“So I guess the rumors are true.” The man laughed and brought a bottle to his lips. “Damien, Damien, whichever one you are. Please, step forward and grace me with your almighty presence. I’ve heard so much about you in the last two days.”
The men of Dark Days parted, leaving Damien directly in Sebastian’s path. The man smiled, flashing white teeth. “Ah.” He lazily walked off the porch and came to stand before him. Damien’s wolf was positively thick from where Austin was standing a few feet away. Sebastian’s eyes narrowed as he neared. “You are a strong one.” He circled Damien. “Very, very strong. This might be a fun fight, indeed. I don’t think I’ve had a good opponent in…hell”—he laughed, and took another drink—“ever.”
Damien turned to Logan. “This isn’t a fair fight. If I’m going to fight for alpha, I want it to be one hundred percent while he is sober.”
