Walsh, Maggie - Betrayal [The Angel Pack] (Siren Publishing Allure ManLove)
Page 9
“Jesse and Taylor have been back in their apartment for a week now, when are you going to claim him Micah?”
“When he’s ready. I’ve explained all about claiming, mating, and the dynamics of pack life. What his role as my mate is, how dangerous it could be. He has been so amazing, Raith. So open and honest with me, that I want to do the same with him. I want him to know exactly what his new life will be like before I claim him forever. So we’re doing a lot of talking, and getting to know each other. I don’t want to push him. I want to make sure he really trusts me completely before we go any further. He hasn’t run yet.”
“I don’t know how you do it, brother. If I found my mate, I would want to stake my claim immediately.”
“You don’t think I want to do that? It’s a battle of wills against my wolf constantly. But I need to let Jesse lead in this. He needs to be ready, so I take a lot of cold showers.” Micah chuckled.
“An unclaimed mate is not good, Micah. Especially the Alpha mate, but I don’t need to tell you this,” Raith said with concern.
“No, you don’t. I know the risks. But the risk of my mate running and rejecting me, far outweighs the rest.” Micah sighed.
“If anyone outside the inner pack finds out that Jesse is your mate and he’s unclaimed, your enemies could use that against you, Micah. They could take him, hurt him, use him as leverage against you. And they will kill him. It would destroy you and potentially destroy what we’ve built here.”
“I know all that, Raith, but I can’t and won’t push him. I know you heard every word he said to me that night you sat outside my bedroom door, he doesn’t, but I do.”
“I will never let him know that I know if that’s what you want,” Raith pledged.
“No, I don’t want to go into this relationship with any secrets, or hiding things from him. He already has major trust issues. I’ll let him know, but maybe you could let him know that everything he said is safe with you. He really needs to see that he can trust us. All of us. Then maybe he’ll be ready.” Micah leaned back in his chair and turned his head to look down on the club. “Until then, I’ll work from here when he’s here, and when he isn’t at the house, he’ll have guards. I’ve explained the dangers to him.”
“And he agreed?” Raith asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Yes, he’s not stupid, he understands the dangers, and he’s tired of running scared. So he agreed, along with Taylor,” Micah answered.
“You know he’s Gabriel’s mate right?” Raith smiled.
Micah chuckled and sat forward, clasping his hands together on his desk. “Oh hell yes. This mating is too funny.”
“I know right? Gabriel the serious, stick-up-ass, big tough enforcer, and Taylor…Well, Taylor is…Taylor.” He laughed.
“Yeah, he is something. He’s funny as hell. I really like him. I think he’ll be good for Gabriel. I think they’ll be good for each other.” Micah smiled.
“And it will be a lot of laughs for us.” They both started laughing. There was a knock on the door.
“Come,” Micah called out.
Thomas walked in with a smile on his face. “What’s all the laughing?”
“Raith was just telling me about another stunt Taylor pulled on Gabriel. So what’s up, buddy?”
Raith raised a brow at Micah in question. Micah gave a slight shake of his head, and Raith caught on.
Thomas took the other seat next to Raith. “I just wanted to know if the Alpha mate was coming back to the house tonight or going home? I need to know so I can send Xander and Cass for the night.”
“Jesse is going to his apartment tonight. He has to be back here in the morning to start rehearsing new songs.”
“And Taylor? You still want protection on him too?” Thomas asked.
“Yes, have Xander and Cass watch their apartment for tonight. In the morning Lexi and Sebastian can bring Jesse here and Crew and Gabriel can keep an eye on Taylor. I have a meeting in the morning, so I can’t be here,” Micah answered.
“Okay. Oh, I got that number you wanted.” Thomas reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to Micah. Micah looked at it and thanked Thomas. “Something up, Micah?” Thomas asked.
“No, just a contact at another club I need to talk to. Thanks for getting this for me.” Micah smiled at him.
“No problem.” Thomas stood. “Well, I’ll go let the guys know their schedules. I’ll meet you in the car when it’s time to go.” Thomas turned to leave.
“Jesse and I are having a late dinner after his last show, so you guys can go ahead home. I’ll take Jesse home and then I’ll drive myself home.”
Thomas smiled and chuckled. “Okay, man, I’ll let everyone know. Have a good night with your mate.” He turned and left, closing the door behind him.
Raith looked at Micah in question. “What’s up?”
“I don’t think it’s up to us to say anything about Gabriel and Taylor being mates.”
“Yeah, you’re right. So what contact did you need to talk to? You need me to handle it?” Raith asked.
“It’s the number to Mike Doherty in Atlanta,” Micah answered.
“The guy who owns the club Jesse and Taylor worked at? The one who rescued them?” Raith asked.
“Yeah, I want to call him, find out what happened to this Will guy, and let him know that they’re okay. I think he’d like to know that.”
“Sounds good. How about that piece of shit in New York? What are we gonna do about him?” Raith’s face went cold as he asked.
“I have some of Dante’s contacts asking around for me. Hopefully I’ll have something soon.”
“Anything you need, Micah. I’m there, brother.”
“I know, Raith. Thanks.” Micah nodded.
* * * *
“Thank you for dinner, Micah. Everything was great. This was a nice surprise.” Jesse smiled at Micah over his wine glass as he took a sip. Micah reached out and took Jesse’s hand.
“You’re very welcome.” Micah pulled Jesse up to his feet as he stood. “Dance with me.” Jesse moved in closer and Micah wrapped his arms around Jesse’s waist and pulled him in so their bodies were flush against each other. One of Jesse’s hands went up to wrap around Micah’s neck and the other went to his chest as they started to sway to the music.
“Are you sure this is okay? I figured the pack house had too many people, and I didn’t want to share you with anyone. So I figured a nice quiet dinner, just the two of us in my office was the perfect hideaway,” Micah said as he ran a hand up Jesse’s back.
“It’s perfect. A little strange being here when it’s just us, but I love it. Thank you.” Jesse smiled from ear to ear.
“Now that’s a look I always want to see.” Micah smiled back at him, then leaned in and gave Jesse a soft kiss. They pulled apart and Jesse rested his cheek on Micah’s chest and sighed. Micah put his hand under Jesse’s chin and gently lifted up his face to his. Their lips were a breath apart. Micah lowered his head so their lips meet. Their lips slid together softly at first, then Micah licked his tongue over the seam of Jesse’s lips. Jesse immediately opened to him and Micah swept his tongue into Jesse’s mouth and deepened the kiss. Micah moved a hand to Jesse’s hip and pulled him in harder against his body. Micah groaned in pleasure when he felt Jesse’s hard cock against his thigh. Micah raised his other hand to cup the back of Jesse’s head and held his mate to him.
Jesse’s hands went around Micah’s neck and into his hair. Jesse melted against Micah. His head was getting light and his stomach was fluttering. All the blood left his head and rushed to his groin, as his cock got as hard as granite. He could feel the drops of pre-cum leaking against his skin. He wanted to climb Micah and claim him as his own. But do I trust him enough to give him my body? My mind? My heart? My soul? He thought to himself and then was shocked when the answer came to him instantly. Yes, I trust this man with everything that I am. Then it hit him, he was in love with this incredible man, wolf, whatever. He wan
Micah couldn’t get enough of Jesse. He was addicted to the beautiful creature in his arms. The man he loved. Yes, I love Jesse with all my heart and soul. I will do anything for my love. I will destroy anyone who tries to hurt him or take him from me. Mine! Micah wanted to stay just like this forever, but unfortunately they both needed air. They slowly parted, both panting. Micah leaned down and nuzzled Jesse behind the ear. He breathed in his incredible scent, chocolate, cinnamon, and lavender. Micah started kissing his way down Jesse’s neck. Licking and nipping down across his jaw and up the other side. Micah’s mouth reached Jesse’s ear and he pulled his earlobe into his mouth between his teeth with a small bite, then licked away the sting. Jesse moaned his approval. “Oh, Micah,” he moaned breathlessly.
“I want you, Jesse. Gods I want you so much,” Micah said just as breathlessly, as his tongue continued to lick up Jesse’s neck. His hands caressed up Jesse’s back to pull him closer. His lips moved back to Jesse’s and he claimed them once again in another heated kiss. His hands move down and cupped Jesse’s perfect, tight, round globes. He lifted Jesse up off the floor and Jesse’s legs instantly wrapped around Micah’s waist. Micah was squeezing and caressing Jesse’s perfect little ass.
Jesse started squirming against Micah, rubbing his hard cock against Micah’s hard abs. The friction was perfect. Micah’s hard monster of a cock was rubbing against Jesse’s ass. The material that was between them was driving Micah insane. He growled into Jesse’s mouth in frustration. Micah felt the wetness against his stomach and he could smell Jesse’s arousal. He moved them to the couch and laid Jesse down. Micah was hovering above him as he released Jesse’s lips. Micah stared into his mate’s eyes, his hot breath caressing Jesse’s face.
“I want you so much, baby.” Micah breathed as his hand caressed up Jesse’s side and then cupped his face.
“I want you too, Micah. I don’t want to wait anymore. I’m ready, I want you to claim me.”
Micah was stunned, but happy. He leaned down and kissed Jesse hard, then pulled back. “Are you sure, baby? We can wait, I can wait for as long as you need.”
Then he saw it in Jesse’s eyes. He froze, his breath caught. Micah’s whole world spun. He saw the truth to Jesse’s words, but there was more, he saw love. Was it really love he saw?
“I’m sure, my mate. I’m sure with everything that I am. You’re it for me, you’re the one, I know it. I feel it. I know I can completely and without question trust you. I can trust you with my body, heart, and soul. I love you, Micah,” Jesse said with tears in his eyes.
“I love you, too, Jesse. I have loved you since the first moment I had you in my arms. I knew I loved you even then. I won’t let you ever regret putting your trust in me sweetheart. I’ll always be there to catch you if you fall. I’ll always do my best to protect you. I’ll worship and love you forever my heart,” Micah said softly with tears burning the backs of his eyes.
Jesse had tears running down his face at Micah’s sweet words. “Make love to me, Micah.” Jesse leaned up and kissed Micah’s neck and nipped him under his jaw. “Claim me, my mate, make me yours.”
“I have so wanted to hear those words baby, but if it’s okay with you, I want our claiming to be special. The first time I make love to you I don’t want it here on a couch. You’re my mate, you deserve for it to be special, not rushed. You deserve a big comfy bed, with candles and wine and soft music. Where I can take my time with you and show you what you mean to me, as I make love to you and worship this beautiful body all night. But for right now, I can take the edge off for you, make you feel good.” Micah pulled back and moved his hands to Jesse’s pants. He popped the button and lowered the zipper. The top of Jesse’s cock popped free and Micah groaned, “Commando? Gods, you’re killing me here.” Jesse chuckled. Micah leaned down and ran his tongue across the tip of Jesse’s cock. Jesse moaned at the contact as a shudder went through him. Micah moaned at the taste of his mate and his eyes closed. “Mmmmmm, gods you’re perfect.” Micah’s face was a mask of bliss. The taste of his mate was a thousand times better than he ever imagined. He leaned back down to get another taste. He took the tip of Jesse’s cock into his mouth and gently sucked, as he started lowering Jesse’s pants down his legs. Micah put his nose right into the V behind Jesse’s sac and inhaled deeply. He knew he would never be able to live without Jesse. His taste, his smell, the cute sounds he made in pleasure, they all worked together to hypnotize him.
Micah worked Jesse’s shoes and socks off, then his pants. His hands gently caressed up the inside of Jesse’s legs, pushing them apart. He looked up at his soon-to-be lover and met with the most beautiful blue eyes in the world looking back at him. Jesse’s eyelids were heavy. His kiss-swollen lips were slightly parted and his breathing was coming in heavy pants. Without breaking eye contact, Micah leaned down and closed his lips around the tip of Jesse’s cock. He sucked it lightly as his tongue caressed the underside. Jesse’s eyes closed for a brief moment as a tremor shivered through his body. His eyes opened and locked back onto Micah’s eyes.
Micah wrapped his fingers around the base of Jesse’s cock and pulled his mouth off with a small pop. He lowered his eyes so he could get his first look at his mate’s cock. Gods it was beautiful. Micah couldn’t believe how big and thick Jesse was for such a petite man. His cock was at least nine inches long and almost as thick as Jesse’s wrist. Micah groaned in appreciation, and then lowered his head back down and encased Jesse’s cock in his hot mouth. He gently licked and sucked all around the head as he slowly brought more of Jesse’s length into his mouth. He loved the weight of it on his tongue. He continued down Jesse’s length as he hollowed his cheeks and sucked harder. Jesse moaned loudly as his hips shot off the couch, pushing himself deeper down Micah’s throat.
Micah held Jesse’s hips down as he started to move up and down Jesse’s full length. He placed a hand on Jesse’s stomach and slid it up under his shirt, caressing his abdomen. Jesse was making the prettiest keening noises and moans. Micah took Jesse fully into his mouth and the tip went down Micah’s throat, he hollowed his cheeks and sucked hard. Jesse’s head was shaking from side to side, his eyes were squeezed shut and his mouth was open, moaning Micah’s name.
Jesse grabbed the back of Micah’s head, holding Micah too him, but not too rough. It was too much, he couldn’t hold out much longer. Micah is so fucking good at this. Holy Hell, it feels like he’s sucking my brains out through my dick. God. He’s a god. It’s too much, Jesse thought to himself as Micah’s hot, wet tongue swirled around his cock, and down his throat. And God, that throat, it’s heaven. “Micah, I’m gonna come.” Jesse gently tugged on his hair.
Micah sucked slowly up Jesse’s whole length and released him. “It’s okay baby, do it, I’ll catch you.” Micah swallowed Jesse back down in one gulp and began a fast pace up and down Jesse’s shaft. The suction was getting more intense. Jesse couldn’t hold back anymore. The heat in his body ran down his spine into his balls. They pulled up close to his body almost painfully and then Micah pinched his nipple, tugging on his nipple ring. That was it, it was too much, Jesse threw his head back and yelled out Micah’s name as all the fluids in his body rushed to his dick and shot out of him like a cannon. Stream after stream of pearly ropes shot into the back of Micah’s throat.
Micah pulled back a little so he could catch Jesse’s release on his tongue, and enjoy the full taste of his mate. Micah licked Jesse clean then gently pulled off his cock. He kissed the tip of it and slowly moved up Jesse’s body, kissing a path up his flat stomach, his tight defined muscles, to his chest. He licked Jesse’s right nipple, flicking his tongue around and gently biting and tugging on the ring there, continuing Jesse’s pleasure through his orgasm, drawing it out.
Jesse finally opened his eyes and looked at Micah. His eyes were glazed over as he gave Micah a contented smile. Micah leaned down and claimed Jesse’s lips in a passionate kiss. Jesse could taste himself on Micah’s tongue and it made his head spin. They pulled apart and Micah touched his forehead to Jesse’s. “Wow,” Jesse said breathlessly.
Micah smirked at him. “Are you okay, baby?”
Jesse nodded his head. “Yeah, but I think I lost my brain, you sucked it out,” He giggled. Micah chuckled and gently kissed his lips. “How about you, babe?” Jesse asked. Micah smiled from ear to ear. That was the first time Jesse had called him an endearment. He liked it. A lot.
“I’m good, baby. That was all for you.” Micah sat up and pulled Jesse up with him and onto his lap. Jesse cuddled into him and put his nose up under Micah’s jaw, into his throat, nuzzling him. Micah wrapped his arms around Jesse and closed his eyes with a contented sigh. “I love the nipple ring by the way,” Micah said.
Chapter 6
Taylor was sitting at their kitchen table eating a bowl of cereal when Jesse bounced into the room. He went to a cabinet and took down a cup as he whistled, poured coffee into his cup, then turned and went to the fridge and added milk. He closed the fridge and turned toward Taylor. He leaned his back against the counter and sipped his coffee and smiled at Taylor.
Taylor watched him the whole time and now he raised an eyebrow at Jesse as their eyes met. “Morning, cupcake.”
“Good morning, Taylor. And how are you this fine morning?” Jesse asked brightly.
“I think I should be asking you that question. How was your date with Micah?” Taylor gave him a knowing smile.
Jesse shrugged with one shoulder, smiling at Taylor. “Oh, you know.”
“No, I don’t know. Spill or I’ll put itching powder in your thong,” Taylor threatened.
Jesse laughed, then pushed away from the counter and took the seat opposite Taylor. “It was great. We had a quiet dinner, just the two of us. We had wine and danced. It was very nice.”
