Shit! Dmitri had said he wouldn't lie - “Finn I'm sorry but the answer is yes he did – even if I didn't do the last thing he probably would've died – but I wanted to end him – I needed to get to your mom and help her so I … shit no I can't tell you what I did!” Dmitri finished and Finn had a very tiny smile on his face - “Yes you can Dmitri – I'm sure whatever you did to him was nothing like I did in my imagination – trust me!” and Dmitri thought that Finn would need a good imagination to have thought of what he had done! “Finn – I pulled his head from his body – with my bare hands.” Dmitri finished and Finn was nodding his head and didn't say anything for a few minutes.
Dmitri could see a host of emotions crossing Finn's face – could tell he was trying to be strong, but he could also see the young boy he had first met. Angry and hateful and scared – still there – just a little.
“Finn – I'm sorry – I should've controlled myself better. Handed him over to Vlad for punishment – but I care for your mom deeply. I saw what he had done and I lost it.” Dmitri's tone was one of apology and Finn straightened up. “Dmitri – all I care about is my mom and brothers and sisters – and you – you've been more a father to me than that piece of crap – I'm glad you're with my mom, I'm glad you hurt him. I'm only sorry I wasn't there to see it – maybe now we'll all get some peace. He's always been there – ya know – in the background – I knew he would come – didn't know when – I hoped it would be when I was around. You've trained me well Dmitri – I wanted to be the one that hurt him. I'm glad you were there tho – you saved my mother and I won't ever be able to repay you for that.” Finn finished and Dmitri grabbed him in a bear hug – Finn shouted - “Jeez Dmitri – stop it – you're going to break my ribs!” and Dmitri released him.
“You are a very special person Finn – I'm glad you're in my life – you and me – we'll look after your mom and the rest of the family. Right now tho – I need to get back.” Dmitri stood up and Finn's face was covered in a blush - “Uhm – yea – you go – my mom will be needing you.” he said and it was painfully obvious he knew all about the breeding cycle of wolves!
Dmitri tried to be polite - “Yes – there's a lot to do at the house – sort it out – I better go and supervise.” he said and Finn coughed - “Yea – you go and tidy.” and he turned round and walked to the suspended weighted bag – he landed a few hard punches then stopped - “Dmitri!” he shouted and Dmitri stopped at the door.
“Where is he?” and Dmitri replied - “The Guards have his body – the four with him are in jail.” and Finn looked thoughtful - “I'm technically his heir – right? So it's up to me what happens with the body – I've made up my mind – he's not to be allowed to be taken back to pack land and be buried as is the norm. I don't want his body polluting the land – I want him burned – here – and as soon as possible – no funeral – no service. Burn him like the animal he was.” Finn spoke harshly and Dmitri could only agree - “I'll pass that on to Vlad, Finn – you've earned that right.” the Russian said and turned and walked out of the gym, his whole body relaxed in relief. He had envisioned that going so much worse than it had!
Dmitri stopped in at Vlad's office – told him what Finn had said about the body. Vlad raised his brows - “Shouldn't Donna decide?” he asked Dmitri. His friend looked down at him - “No – it's down to his heir – as long as he is aged eighteen or over – usually the heir and mate would be in agreement. In this case I think we need to respect what Finn has said Vlad – he's no longer a child.” Dmitri said and Vlad agreed - “Ok Dmitri – I'll see to it.” and Dmitri thanked him and left.
Chapter 16
James was walking back to the cabin – fish in hand – nobody was more surprised as him at the amount he and the boys had caught! It had been fun and the boys were now horsing about – down on the jetty – the water was too cold for them to swim but they were having a good time. He whistled as he walked up to the porch – Declan had said he knew how to gut the fish – and James readily agreed to let him do it! He placed the fish in a bucket with water – he wasn't sure what to do with them until Declan arrived to deal with them but guessed they would be ok in the water for a bit.
When he walked in Lisa was sitting reading, Annemarie nowhere in sight. His mate lifted her head from the book and smiled at him and his gut clenched. Every time he looked at her he was amazed that she was his!
She was gorgeous – and when she smiled James was certain she was the most beautiful person on earth. He returned her smile and walked to the sink - “I need to get all these scales and stuff off my hands – they stink!” he said and she laughed - “Yea fishing can be a dirty business – don't you dare touch me til you're clean!” she quipped and as soon as the words were out her mouth he hardened!
He used lots of soap and scrubbed his hands till they were red - “Where's Annemarie?” he asked and she looked up - “She's gone for a very long bath and then said she was going to use the hot tub out back.” and her look had become lustful! His erection got harder – he wiggled – it was uncomfortable in the confines of his jeans! “So we have a bit of time?” he asked and his scratchy voice had became husky – and he noted Lisa moving her behind – and her scent hit his nostrils! She was extremely aroused!
Lisa put the book down and got up and walked slowly towards him. James dried his hands and held his arms wide – she moved into them and, as always, fit perfectly. She nuzzled his neck - “Yes – we've got a little time – until the boys run in!” she said and he moved his hand to cup her chin – moving her head so he could bend down and kiss her. The kiss was passionate, he devoured her mouth and his tongue darted in – savouring her unique taste. Lisa moaned into his mouth and he bent down and picked her up – heading quickly to their room.
The kids had rooms upstairs in the cabin and theirs was downstairs to the rear – he kicked the door closed and placed Lisa on her feet. He slowly undressed her – and she quickly undressed him - “We might not have a lot of time before we're interrupted!” she breathed and as soon as they were both naked he dropped to his knees. “Open” he commanded – she complied immediately – him the dominant – to her submissive. His tongue darted out – quickly – and came in contact with her very sensitive nub. She groaned and her knees buckled, slightly.
“Straighten your legs – keep still.” he ordered and she did as he told her. He worked his tongue on her and she was becoming breathless - “No – not yet – you won't come now – you'll wait!” he instructed and she bit her lip – trying to hold on. “James – I don't know if I can.” she whimpered and he laughed – his laughter hitting her sex.
“You will do as you're told my wolf – as always.” he said and she nodded her head - “Of course James.” she complied. He stood up – leaving her on the verge of a climax and she sighed longingly - “Return the compliment.” he told her and she immediately sank to her knees – taking him deep – down her throat.
He firmly held her head – guiding it and pushed into her - “All of me.” he said – his voice now so husky she was barely able to hear him. She relaxed her throat and he thrust down – she loved doing this for him – it gave her as much pleasure as it did him. In the past she had actually climaxed herself – just by deep throating her mate. It turned her on so much that she was squeezing her thighs together – trying not to come. “I think you're near my wolf – am I right?” he asked and she raised her eyes – met his – and the look of lust and pleasure that she saw in his nearly sent her over! She pressed her knees tighter and nodded.
James stayed in her throat for a few moments longer – watching as it was taken fully by his mate. When he thought Lisa was just about to come he withdrew and reached down – pulling her up. He kissed her deeply – tasting himself on her lips – he groaned and he placed a hand on her behind – pulling her to him. Lisa returned his kiss with fervour and she desperately wanted him inside her. She knew better to ask tho – if she did – he wouldn't comply and it was the last thing she wan
ted at this moment!
The bed was directly behind her – a huge old fashioned wooden four poster and James broke away and turned her around. He placed her hands near the top of one of the corner posts – “Stay there.” he said and moved away from her. She moaned at the absence of his body against hers. He returned seconds later and immediately tied her hands to the post – intricate knots securing her in place. His mouth was at her ear - “Sorry but it's got to be a quickie – the boys will be here soon.” he whispered and his breath on her skin made it tingle. She stood perfectly still – James hadn't told her what to do yet – her breaths were coming fast – god she wanted him so much!
His hand ran down her back and onto her right butt cheek – kneading it – firmly – roughly – and her breaths came faster. “Bend over – arch your back – butt out – you know what I like – show me.” he said – his voice although low was strong and commanding. Hearing it alone could get Lisa almost to the point of release – and she did exactly what he had said. She moved her legs – opening them as wide as she could and still be stable. Arched her back – butt out and then she pushed it up a little – as she did so she heard him sigh - “Oh yes – you know exactly what to do – you're perfect – absolutely perfect.” he said and Lisa smiled.
She loved his voice – the huskiness of his arousal – shit – she wished he would hurry up. She wiggled her behind – and she heard his hand move a second before it made contact – she yelped. “You know better Lisa – no wiggling unless I tell you.” she nodded her head and stayed still – the arch of her back so severe it hurt. She didn't move tho – waiting on her mate!
James' hand caressed from her neck down over her back and to her buttocks – rubbing where he had just slapped it. Lisa tried desperately not to make a sound but a low groan escaped. She waited – another slap – a little harder – her core heat up even more! “You know the rules – I didn't say you could make a sound – did I?” he asked and she shook her head instead of saying 'no'. His hand rubbed her behind again and she bit her lip - “That's my good girl – I'm going to do this fast – hard – very hard – you can make as much noise as you want Lisa – tho I would remind you that your sister is out back and the boys aren't far away either.” he commented and she nodded once.
Without any further warning he grabbed hold of her hips and thrust into her – she was so wet he slipped in with no resistance at all. “Oh – you are so turned on – aren't you?” his voice behind her – he kept moving. “Yes!” she said – the sound tearing from her throat. She was trying to breath but her chest was tightening up – she could hardly get enough oxygen into her lungs.
James chuckled - “Ok – Lisa – I'm going to tell you when to come – when I'm ready I'll do a count down – we've done this before – when I reach zero you will come. Ok? Not at 3 or 2 or 1 – zero – do you understand?” he queried and Lisa gasped – they had done this several times and each time it was hard – but each time had been better than the last, each orgasm bigger, better. She nodded and James went on - “No biting either – this is just us two – no external stimulation. Are you ready Lisa?” and she squealed - “yes.”
James thrust into her harder and harder – all the time looking down – watching himself disappear inside of her folds. He moved his hands onto her behind, on her cheeks, and pulled them roughly apart – giving him a better view. Each time he touched her she gasped, bucked back onto him and he could actually hear her heartbeat. Beating erratically and very very fast! Her immense arousal affected him deep down and he felt himself nearing his own release.
James' voice was very low – so low that Lisa missed the first number – her ears only hearing when he said 9, thrust, 8, harder thrust, 7, again a thrust that went so deep inside her she was sure he was hitting her cervix, 6, she moaned, 5 – “Hope you're ready Lisa” James gasped, 4 – his thrust was impossibly forceful, 3, “Fuck!” James exclaimed, 2 – he kneaded her cheeks roughly – 1 – “FUCK!” James shouted – ZERO and Lisa tried to stifle her own scream – biting into the post she was attached to. Her muscles clamped onto him – deep within her and they both climaxed long and hard.
Much longer than the last time they did this – jeez she couldn't stand – her legs were going to give way! James caught her – his arm snaking around her waist to keep her upright. Not once did she lose her position tho – back arched, butt out and up! James stroked her back with his other hand gently, moving round to cup a breast. “You're amazing, do you know that Lisa – fucking amazing!” he groaned and she was so happy she had pleased him that it was like a euphoria!
She had never felt this particular way before and it was so strong it actually scared her – she definitely felt very strange! All the while James spoke, stroking her and she hadn't even realised he had released her and they were now lying on the bed! When did that happen, she thought?!
“You're my angel Lisa – I love you so much – you know that don't you?” James asked and Lisa looked up into his scar ravaged face – she reached up - “James – that was – shit I've not got any words for what just happened. I love you James – you know I've just realised something?” she said and he gave her a questioning look - “What hon – what've you realised?” he said quietly - “When we first met – I told you I had never felt attracted to any of the males in the pack – well to no males at all – I've just realised – I was waiting on you James - that's why – I was waiting on you.” she said with a smile and he kissed her deeply. “You're mine Lisa – for always – you're mine.” he said gruffly and she nodded - “I know.” she agreed.
They lay for longer than they had hoped – the boys not tearing into the cabin til a good half hour after they had finished. They didn't move – lying in each other's arms – revelling in each other. Lisa had never felt happier and from the look on James' face he felt the same.
When Declan started shouting on James he finally moved – he opened the door and shouted - “Be there in a minute.” and turned back to get dressed. “James – why is there only the word 'love' to tell someone how you feel? As far as I'm concerned it's not enough – saying I love you James – it doesn't even come close to how I feel for you.” she said and his heart actually ached – he knew what she meant - “Well we'll just have to come up with something else my wolf – when we get home we can sit down and come up with something – something so much better than the word love – ok?” he replied and she nodded – a sleepy smile on her face.
He finished dressing and moved out to the living area – Declan was standing at the door - “Come on James – hurry.” the boy said and James laughed - “Ok Declan – I'm coming.” he said and carried on – out the cabin.
Declan had gutted a few of the fish when James heard Lisa's phone ringing – she answered it so he guessed she had gotten up and dressed! He wished she had stayed right where she was – so he could walk back in and see her lying there! His mind wandered to what he wanted to do to her and then suddenly he realised he heard her voice change – to one of fear and upset. He moved quickly – throwing the door open and going to her side.
“No – oh fuck fuck fuck – mom are you ok? Please tell me you're ok!” Lisa pleaded and James tuned in – listening to her mother talking over the phone. “I'm fine – physically anyways – only thanks to Lexi tho, and Dmitri – he saved me Lisa – but well – oh god I'm sorry there's no way to say this but straight out – your father's dead – Dmitri killed him.” and they could both hear the sobs coming from Donna.
James mind was reeling – what the hell had happened?! Lisa started talking again - “Dmitri? How did he know you were in trouble mom – how did he get there?” Lisa asked and both of them heard Donna taking a deep breath - “We're together Lisa – it's just happened or I would've told you. He had gone to get clean clothes and some stuff – and he scented the wolves when he came back. He got Vlad and Zach and they dealt with the ones outside – he came inside and found me – your dad – he was – he was …..” and Donna
just dissolved – her sobbing was loud and her hurt could almost be felt through the phone!
Lisa was beyond stunned – her fucking father! She wished she had been there – she would've taught him a thing or two!!
James had trained Lisa since the day they had escaped from her pack – making sure she would never be in a position where she couldn't defend herself. She was shit hot in hand to hand combat – she wished she could've hurt her father – just once!
Her mother didn't sound as if she was going to stop crying any time soon and Lisa spoke quietly, telling her it was going to be ok. Donna couldn't speak – and then both Lisa and James heard Dmitri's voice - “Donna - Laskovaya Moya – are you ok?” and then it was obvious he had reached her mother and held her – Dmitri's voice was the one Lisa heard next - “Lisa? Is that you?” the Russian asked in his accented English
Lisa didn't know what to say – Dmitri and her mom and her father was dead? “Yes Dmitri – is my mom ok? Really?” she asked and Dmitri spoke again - “She's going to be ok – I'll look after her – Lisa – I'm sorry.” Dmitri said and Lisa didn't know why he was apologising.
“What for?” she asked and Dmitri went on - “It was me that killed your father.” he said quietly and Lisa nearly laughed - “Dmitri – you don't need to apologise – I'm glad – my only regret is that it was you and not me – I've wanted to hurt him for a long time!” Lisa said and the anger in her voice was clear – Dmitri was grateful, he wouldn't want to hurt any of them.
Donna mumbled in the background - “Lisa – your mom's asking if we should tell the little ones – Finn knows and she thinks Annemarie should know but the other two – she's asking what you think?” he relayed and Lisa wasn't sure - “Dmitri – tell mom not to worry – I'll deal with it – whatever I decide I'll deal with it – just tell her to take care of herself. We'll see her in four or five days – tell her to text when her cycle's finished. Oh – and Dmitri – thank you – can you take care of her for me please?” she asked and the vampire replied - “I will do that Lisa – see you soon.” and he hung up – the last thing Lisa heard before the call was disconnected was Dmitri talking softly - “Come here my sweet – let me look after you.” and his voice was one she had never heard from him – it was very sensual and she blushed thinking what was about to happen!
