“Hell no, Calli will be first,” Vivi said proudly.
“Bet,” Shelly said.
“The usual?” Vivi sneered.
“You're on,” the women said.
“Wait, what?” Calli said in a panicked tone. “Ma, don’t be betting on kids.”
“Whatever,” Vivi said and then held her fingers to her eyes, and then pointed them to her friends.
“I'm outta here,” Rissa said and walked out of the room.
“Ditto,” Cherri said.
Calli didn’t say a word, she couldn’t, her mother pissed her off sometimes. She just grabbed her mate’s arm and pulled him out of the room.
Now she had to look her mother in the eyes and lie once again so she could keep the world on the correct axis. You see, when a child reveals too much about their sex life, the axis shifts and very, very bad things happen, like babies are demanded, and then they would try, to like, have personal talks with them. Hells to the no, Rissa looked up and whispered, “Ma, of course, but do we need to announce it.”
Phillip put a hand over his mouth and Simon looked as if he was ready to explode with laughter when Brenda bent over and whispered in her ear. “Of course baby girl, and by the way, I know you aren’t a virgin, I just like to tease you about it.”
“Dammit, Ma,” Rissa yelled and plopped back down in her chair.
“Did you finally tell her?” Vivi smirked.
“Yeah, felt it was time. She is mated now. But the bet is still on, both of your girls had a head start, but I am pretty sure looking at my kid, she is gonna be knocked up in no time.” Brenda laughed and walked over to the plate.
Calli, Cherri, and Rissa stared at one another. Will the shame of being their spawns ever end?

“Let’s get down to business,” Kade said and stood up.
“Let’s,” Brenda said shrewdly and looked pointedly at her daughter.
“Now what, Ma?” Rissa said with an exasperated tone.
“I hear you are going on a mission… alone… without backup,” Brenda growled.
Rissa raised an eyebrow at her and growled back, “It has been a long time since I asked your permission for anything.”
“Don’t you get sassy with me, I am still your mother,” Brenda said and stood up.
Rissa stood as well and leaned over the table. “I will put you in a nursing home far away from here and everyone else, where no one can find you.”
“Really? Did we need to talk about the first time you got shot? Crying and whiny for a week. This could be a lot worse.” Brenda argued.
“I was shot in the Fuckin’ ass, do you know how much that hurts. Plus, you know how I hate the site of blood. Jeeze, woman, with all that, I think I am the only one smart enough to get the information,” Rissa said.
“Hey, Bitch,” Cherri piped up. “I totally have as many degrees as you, it is just you have the degree needed for this operation. Let’s not go thinking you are smarter than anyone.”
“My IQ is higher than yours,” Rissa snarled.
“I was sick that day,” Cherri whined and leaned against Nik who put a comforting hand around her. Rissa rolled her eyes and turned back to her mother who was still leaning over the table at her.
“Ma, I will have backup, just not right beside me, I have to get inside the Prentiss Agency, and out without notice, two people would raise red flags,” Rissa said more calmly.
“Fine, let’s hear it, but if I don’t like it, your father is getting a rope,” Brenda said.
“Okay, back on task.” Kade sighed. “Let’s walk through it.”
“I will be giving Rissa a completely different mousy look so she will blend in with the humans,” Kiki said. “I have the brown shoes, and brown dress. She will be a secretary going to work. In addition, I am formally making a complaint about the fact you people are hiding my mate from me, the papers will be on your desk in the morning.”
The room was silent as they looked at Kiki, then ignored his outburst and turned back to the briefing.
“I have the ID Badge done, she will be the secretary to a Mr. Whelps. His office is across from the mainframe Rissa will have to hijack,” Sabrina said and held up the plastic badge she would wear.
“Really? Roxie Rodgers?” Rissa laughed.
“Hey, there really is a Roxie, so shut up.” Sabrina laughed.
“I have the codes for the first door,” Trina said. It should get her into the main entrance and then she will just have to follow someone onto the elevator and hit the right floor. They changed the elevator code so that will be one of the crapshoots. However, we do have something that will work on actual office doors, and the mainframe door. It is a card with a chip in it that will search for the code. It is pretty fast, but try not to stand there waiting, look as if you are putting something away in your purse or something, in case someone comes,” Trina said and slid that card to her.
Rissa nodded as they walked through the plan. She was going to go in tomorrow. One of the regular secretaries who used to work for the Drekinn agreed to call in sick and arrange for Roxie to be called in from the secretarial pool. She didn’t have to worry since there was no one named Mr. Whelps, he was a fictional Intel guy they dreamed up over the last few weeks to use as a cover. Rissa and her geeks inserted the documentation into the Prentiss Agency records with ease. They tried to break into the main computer, but they discovered the Prentiss Agency had a completely offline mainframe where they stored their information.
Brooks spoke next about the security. He showed the plans of the building they procured, where the major problems for Rissa would be. It took an hour, and her men sat next to her quietly, listening, and taking notes. When the review was finally finished, Phillip opened his mouth.
“I can cloak myself, so I will be accompanying Rissa in, if need be, I can be Mr. Whelps, how long would it take to get the credentials?” Phillip said smoothly.
Calli, Cherri, and Rissa all sat with their mouths open, looking at him. Calli was going to be just outside the building, waiting in case she was needed and Cherri was going to be the getaway driver parked with their stolen transport down the street. The girls had a plan, and no one messed with their plans. The tension in the room began to rise. Kade held up his hand before Calli stood and began to talk.
“Phillip, I realize that you are newly mated, I also know you have never seen these three in action. I can assure you that they will return relatively unharmed,” Kade said smoothly.
“Relatively unharmed?” Simon said tightly.
“I know how you feel, I felt the same way when they went out on their first mission without me, but seriously, they are very well trained,” Kade replied. “They have been a team longer than anyone I have ever met before. They work as a unit and they think the same. If we throw someone in the mix to distract them it could cause more damage.”
“That and the fact we didn’t ask them for help,” Calli muttered.
“Simon, you can’t go, you would be spotted in a heartbeat, and Phillip, I know you can cloak, and I know you are trained as well. However, this is delicate, and I think the girls have the best option. You guys have helped with Intel for the last few weeks, you know what she is up against,” Nik said.
Simon and Phillip growled and sat back frustrated. They knew this was going to be an uphill battle, but there was no way they were going to let their mate out of their site for a second in the city. Their pictures were on freaking billboards all over the city as most wanted.
Simon stood up and looked around the room, went to the board and pointed to the space above the building.
“There is one place that their security is weak. The King is arrogant enough to think a no fly zone over the building is enough to stop people from flying above them. Phillip can cloak and I can carry him close enough to the top of the building to drop. There are only three sensors, they are here, here, and here. We can drop right here and be safe,” Simon said and pointed to the corner of the building. Rissa st
ood and looked at the place he pointed, it was right above the office she was going to be in.
“How long have you known this?” Rissa asked calmly.
Calli and Cherri sat back in their chairs. When Rissa was calm and collected like this—it was never a good thing.
Simon looked at Phillip who was grinning. “Well…I was talking to the guys, and we all kinda thought that maybe this time, because there was so much on the line, that we would all go to different points as backup.”
Calli looked at her mate quickly, and Cherri pinned her mates with her gaze. “What was all that shit you were sputtering a minute ago about us being able to handle this by ourselves. Now we hear you have another plan?”
Kade glared at Simon, stood, and yelled, “You deviated from the plan.”
“Hey, all is fair in love and war. She was looking as if she wanted to cut my nuts off. We just mated. You should have been the one to present this,” Simon argue and smiled at Rissa who was looking murderous.
“Hold the fucking communicator. Are you actually telling me that you have all been planning this behind our backs?” Cherri said incredulously.
“Now hang on, we have the perfect plan. We can all be happy,” Nik said slowly and then the arguing began.
Chapter Ten
Vivi walked down the hall with her two best friends laughing. “We really should have charged admissions for that show.”
“I know, who knew the girls all had such an extensive vocabulary.” Shelly laughed.
“Hell, we should have, I think we taught them a few of those words.” Brenda smirked.
“Well, all’s well that ends well. Having our men put a bug in their men’s ears was a stroke of genius. We have to make sure none of the girls gets hurt. The bet is still on and my girl is totally going to win.” Shelly rubbed her hands together.
“Yeah, cause your daughter is a whore.” Vivi laughed and then ducked when Shelly took a swing at her laughing.
“All of us have their lot in life,” Brenda said. “Calli is the badass, Cherri the whore, and my Rissa is the crazy pure one. I am pretty sure they make a whole killer with no conscience. Just what we wanted to raise when we were younger.”
The three women laughed and walked down the hallway talking about going to the sex store again, their crops needed replacing.
***
Rissa slammed the door to their suite in back of her before the men could enter, and stomped down the hallway to the master bedroom muttering the whole time.
“Stupid, arrogant males who think that women are poor helpless creatures,” Rissa said and then glared over her shoulder when Simon and Phillip walked into the door.
“Woman, you should calm the hell down,” Simon yelled.
Phillip put his hand up to his face and rolled his eyes. This was seriously going to suck. “Si…”
“What did you say?” Rissa said coming back out into the family room with just her bra and panties on. She had been ready to go into the shower.
“You heard me, calm down. We are learning to compromise. You and your friends need to realize that you are not in this alone anymore. We are in this too. Either we are together, or I am outta here. This should be a partnership,” Simon yelled.
“Partnership my ass. You want me to be a good little girl, who sits at home and knits or some dumbass thing like that. Well, I CANT KNIT! I CANT BE CONSTRAINED LIKE THAT! I AM A PEACOCK, YOU HAVE TO LET ME FLY!! Rissa screamed.
Phillip held up a hand and said, “I thought you were a wolf, in fact, I know you are a wolf, I have seen you shift. Why are you calling yourself a peacock?” Simon and Rissa’s heads snapped in his direction, Phillip laughed, and held up his hands, “What?”
“Shut up!” Rissa growled.
“Now that was just hateful.” Phillip pouted. “Simon, I do believe she needs a lesson in partnerships. What do you think?”
Simon grinned and nodded. “I think she needs a little discipline.”
“What the fuck are you talking about? We have a situation that needs discussed, stop thinking with your little head,” Rissa scoffed.
“I don’t have a little head, sweetheart,” Simon drawled and began to walk toward her. “Besides, you are already undressed, if you didn’t want us to fuck this situation out, you should have stayed dressed.”
While she’d been looking away from him, Phillip began undressing. His boots, jeans, and shirt lay on the floor. He stood beside her and nipped her earlobe. A zing went straight down to her pussy. “We just need you to behave while we sort this all out.”
She tried to move away from him, but he held her chin tight, and his mouth captured hers for a deep kiss. A shiver of anticipation ran over her. Her hands started to push him away, but forgot what they were supposed to do. Her fingers brushed across the soft hair on his chest and teased his nipples.
Phillip reached behind her to unsnap her bra. He pulled it over her head and off. Then he carried her to the bedroom and threw her to the middle of the bed, while she squealed and laughed—he was growling at her.
“See how much we want you. You want us. I can smell your desire. Your nipples are swollen with longing for me to tease them,” Phillip said and laughed when her eyes grew big as Simon joined him at the end of the bed.
Holy shit, they were dangerously fuckin’ handsome. She couldn’t stay mad when she was just as aroused as they apparently were. Damn mating frenzy hormones, this sucked, she wanted to stay mad.
His words ratcheted the heat level inside her to on fire.
Phillip straddled her body and looked down. She almost felt him touch her with his intense stare. “Pinch your nipples. I want to see you.” Simon laid down next to them so he could watch.
“I wanna see it too, baby, now go on, before you add some more punishment to your total,” Simon said huskily. He kissed her passionately before pulling back and waiting.
Phillip’s command had her shivering with excitement. Her hands cupped her breasts while her thumbs stroked her nipples. All the muscles below her waist clenched tight as she watched his eyes turn to liquid silver. She turned her head and looked at Simon who was staring intently at her fingers.
“Move one hand down and grip my cock.” Phillip’s husky voice brushed across her skin like warm silk. She gripped him firmly and began to move her hand up and down. The muscles of his face drew taut with desire.
“Oh, sweetheart, you are fuckin’ amazing. Simon, her hand has the magic touch.”
Phillip leaned down to her chest and brushed her hand aside. His mouth covered her taut nipple and sucked on her breast. Like a line pulling tight, she felt the tug in her pussy. Rissa could feel all of her thoughts leaving her head except for the one that mattered, YES! He went back and forth between each breast, giving each one attention.
Rissa rubbed across the top of his penis again as he paid his attention to her breasts, along the sensitive underside her finger glided slowly, teasing him a little like he was her. He groaned and his tongue flickered around and over her nipple more quickly.
Phillip raised his head and caught her chin in his warm hand.
“I love you, I know it has been a short time, but I do. There is nothing in this world I would not do for you, including protect your crazy ass even when you don’t need it. I need it. I need you to be safe, without you there is no me,” he said huskily. “I’ll stop now if you want, and we can talk, or you can tell me to continue.”
His impassioned words speared through her heart. Turn back? Her body throbbed with need and burned with the fire he’d kindled inside her. She was wet with the juice from her desire. Her pussy lips ached to clamp around his hard cock. She tried to think clearly, but her mind screamed to take him inside her.
She pulled his head down close to her lips. “Take me, damn you,” she whispered the words.
He bit her lower lip and whispered back, “Anything to please my mate.” He spread her legs wide and plunged deep. Her body arched with the intense pleasure. She pulled his hips tighter
, pulling him in even more. All the time an unseen wire connected their eyes.
“Is that all you’ve got?” she taunted him.
“Damn you.” His sizzling grin sent a tremor of response rippling across her skin. Pulling her legs up to his wide shoulders, he sank as deep as he could go. Then just as suddenly he moved out. He bent his head to suck her clit and taste her sweet honey. His mouth and teeth teased, tasted, and sucked all along her pink folds and across her nub.
Rissa screamed for him to take her, but he only laughed and continued to torment her, bringing her to the edge, backing down, and then doing it again. Finally, when she thought she’d explode, he moved to her opening and slid back in. This time he moved slow and easy. Her pussy clamped around him, and her inner muscles trembled against his hot cock.
“I love you, sweetheart,” he said, as he went in all the way, and she split apart with the deep ecstasy of her orgasm. From a distance, she heard his shout of release.
“You two are having too much fun without me,” Simon grumbled.
Rissa managed to turn her head in the direction of Simon. He was showing the softer side of himself since he had a pouting look on his face.
Phillip rolled off her and smiled across at his brother. “It’s your fault for being so mean,” he spoke between gasping for breath. “She,” he said, and nodded at Rissa, “and I haven’t come to an understanding yet, you’re welcome to join us, we need to make our point clear.”
“No. I—”
Both men stared at her, but Simon said and then rolled closer to her and pinched one of her nipples, making her squirm. “You were saying, darling’?”
“You can’t fuck me into submission,” Rissa said stubbornly.
“Sure we can.” Phillip had moved over and pulled her with him. Simon leaned down and kissed her. “Sweetest kisser I’ve ever known.”
“And I’m sure you’ve known quite a few,” Rissa said sarcastically.
Simon looked across her to Phillip. “I love her smart mouth.” His lips covered hers again, and his hand moved down along her neck to her breast. He barely brushed the palm of his hand over the tip of her nipple.
