Her Protectors (Peacekeepers Book 2)

by Tamsin Baker

  Karen gasped, her eyes widening.

  “What! When did you find out I quit my job?”

  “I called the day before we left, and was told you had resigned. You didn’t have to do that for me.” Jacky reached out and hugged her best friend tightly. Karen was the best friend she’d ever had.

  “I didn’t do it just for you. I was miserable there. My boss was a dick.”

  “Yep, he sure was. I have no idea how you stayed there for as long as you did.” Jacky let Karen go and held her hand to stay in contact. “Let’s get out of here. You have to see the werewolves that are here. They are… just… wow. So yummy, all dark and muscly, the total opposite of our polar bears.”

  Karen snorted and Jacky just grinned at her. No matter what her friend said, Jacky wasn’t leaving anytime soon. But since she’d much prefer her best friend to stay with her, she had some convincing to do.

  Walking hand-in-hand, they opened the door and strolled in the direction of the huge lodge.

  “Let’s see what all the fuss was about shall we?”

  They pushed open the door and stepped into a room resembling a pub brawl in a zoo. There were about ten men and more than ten huge black and grey wolves. All growling, throwing punches and screaming at each other. And at the very center of it all, of course, were their men, holding everyone apart with their abnormal strength.

  “Holy shit,” Jacky muttered.

  She shared a look with Karen, who nodded at her, and they turned back to the scene. Fear tingled at her spine, but their men were around, nothing would happen to them here.

  Duncan seemed to get sick of what was going on around him, because he suddenly stripped out of his clothes and began to change. His hair grew longer and his body began to morph into the huge polar bear Peacekeeper that he was. The bear landed on his front paws and roared, the sound vibrating straight through Jacky’s chest.

  Woah.

  Duncan turned towards them and charged, knocking all the wolves to the walls as his huge body moved at a scary pace.

  Jacky watched Ashten and Raylock get out of Duncan the bear’s way as he rammed through the crowd.

  Jacky jumped sideways as Duncan stopped in front of Karen and turned to face the wolves, obviously wanting to protect her. Peacekeepers and their mates. It wasn’t just Ashten and Raylock that were crazy protective.

  She pressed her back to the wall and shimmied sideways, she wasn’t getting in his way.

  Brad stepped forward and snarled. “Change back to human form, now.” Brad’s strong, deep Peacekeeper voice had all the huge wolves changing back almost immediately.

  As the fur fell away, bronzed skin appeared. There was soon close to twenty naked, muscled men in the room looking their way.

  Hot honey melted through her center. Paranormals were built in ways human men could only dream of.

  Jacky stepped closer and whispered to Karen, “I told you, it’s like heaven. Yum, yum, yum.”

  “Wow. They are all naked and just… just… wow,” Karen said next to her and Duncan growled at her. Karen glanced down. “I’m not apologizing. I’m only human, and this is better than any eye candy we have seen so far, well besides you and Brad. I mean, I’d have to be blind not to notice that.”

  “Amen to that, Karen.” Jacky could have high fived her friend if she wasn’t too busy staring at the rippling strength of the men in front of her. There was no harm in looking, she certainly wouldn’t do anything about it.

  Raylock came over and tried to block Jacky’s view with his huge shoulders.

  Karen grinned up at Duncan. “You can change back, if you don’t mind, and add to my view.”

  Duncan changed back to human form and Jacky couldn’t stop herself from glancing over at the man her friend was mated to.

  Wow. These Peacekeepers had been blessed in all ways.

  Karen giggled, breaking a lot of the tension in the room.

  “If all this hot nakedness is what you’ll be showing me to convince me to stay, I think I just may.”

  Jacky laughed and stepped closer to Ashten. Her belly was twisting with desire and she could feel her need for her men rising. They were by far the most beautiful of all the men in the room.

  One of the werewolves cleared his throat. “Duncan, the sooner we sort out this feud, the sooner you can get back to your mate.”

  Duncan held Karen in front of himself and spoke to the group. “I had organized a meeting with the surrounding council packs but they couldn’t keep it together for a couple of hours. You all know our property is neutral ground. I didn’t think I, Brad, or my brothers had to stay and babysit you all twenty-four seven.” Duncan glared at some of the werewolves with his strong blue eyes. Not a look Jacky ever wanted to be on the receiving end of.

  Karen looked up at Duncan. “What are you all fighting about?”

  Everyone tried to answer at once and Jacky stepped towards Ashten. “Can we get out of here soon?”

  “Needing us again already, sweetheart?” Ashten’s eyes had darkened, but she knew he wasn’t going to shift. He was horny for her, not in bear mode.

  “Yes. Always.”

  He growled and grabbed her around the waist, holding her close and making a sound in his throat that made Raylock join them.

  “Our mate needs a reminder of who she belongs to, I think. All these naked shifters have her all hot and ready.”

  “Naughty girl. I warned you what we’d do if you reacted that way again.” She giggled as Raylock ran a thumb over her erect nipple and gasped as an arrow of lust shot straight into her pussy.

  “Can we go soon?” she repeated, hearing the huskiness in her own voice and not caring how needy she sounded.

  Raylock turned and listened to Karen as she worked everything out, so typical for her friend. Karen had already switched off, her body now tuned to the deep chord of need thrumming in her core.

  “Looks like they’re getting it all sorted out. We probably can duck out.”

  Raylock swung her up in his arms and she grabbed on tight to his huge shoulders, still not quite comfortable with the way they both kept picking her up. She was five foot nine and a size fourteen. She hadn’t been picked up since she was five and even then her dad had thought she was too heavy.

  They reached their small lodge and Raylock threw her down onto the soft bed. She couldn’t take her eyes off him as he strode to the door, locked it behind his brother and came back to her.

  They made her feel so special, so secure and wanted. So many of her body insecurities had just melted away. They wanted her, all of her.

  Incredible.

  She’s never known a relationship could be like this.

  Ashten lay down on the bed so that his head was hanging off the end of the mattress, his already semi erect cock in the center.

  “Come sit on my face beautiful, and suck my cock for me.”

  Despite everything they’d already done to her, an embarrassed blush spread up her neck and across the slopes of her cheeks.

  “Ah...okay.”

  She’d never liked the idea of this position, mostly because she worried about squashing the man beneath her. Therefore, she’d never even attempted it.

  However, Ashten would weigh almost twice what she did, she shouldn’t worry about hurting him.

  Jacky stepped closer and swung her leg over his head, planted her thighs either side of his head on the mattress and stared at his lovely long cock.

  Ashten licked her clit and she cried out as heat shot up into her belly. She fell forward and put both hands on his thighs, dipped her head so that she could take him into her mouth.

  Yummy.

  She wrapped her lips around the head of his cock, got better balanced and encircled the base with her hand.

  He groaned and bucked his hips, forcing his length deeper into her mouth. She tried to concentrate on what she was doing to him, but as he began to suckle her clit and lick her pussy opening with eager strokes, her mind wouldn’t focus properly.

>   “Argh, oh… shit.” Tingles of awareness and pleasure ran all across her body as his tongue slipped over every sensitive spot she had.

  Focus.

  She used her hands on Ashten’s cock, swallowing as much of him as she could handle and moaning as he pushed her closer to climax. That’s when she felt Raylock’s hands on her.

  He began massaging her arse cheeks and running his fingers up and down her spine. She moaned at the double assault on her senses, her belly tightening with arousal as Ashten flicked her clit with his tongue over and over.

  Her body exploded and she screamed out, convulsing as her orgasm ripped through her.

  Raylock slapped her on the arse, growling. “Good girl. I hope you’re going to cum again for me.”

  And before she’d come down properly from her heightened bliss, he thrust his thick cock straight into her wet pussy.

  “Fuu...ck!”

  She cried out as he pounded into her, grabbing her hips and riding her hard and fast. Shards of white light exploded through her head, her body an undulating mass of pleasure nerves.

  Ashten groaned under her and she set her mouth back on him. The race was on now as they groaned, gasped and thumped together. She sucked hard, feeling the tension growing in her belly once again.

  Ashten tensed beneath her and she thrust her mouth down on his cock as he spurted into her mouth. She drank him down greedily, the salty tang of him sliding down her throat.

  Raylock roughly grabbed her hips and pulled her back on him harder. He fucked her hard and deep until she couldn’t hold any longer. Screaming out to him, she came all over his cock, rippling around him continually.

  He groaned loudly and squirted inside her, making her cum again. She cried out, collapsing forward and convulsing against Ashten. Sandwiched between her two men, everything disappeared.

  ****

  The next day she was beginning to acknowledge that she was way too sore to keep having so much sex. Sure, it was incredible, but her belly actually hurt from so many orgasms and there was a general saddle-sore feeling about every muscle in her body that screamed at her that she needed to rest.

  Jacky grinned as she called out to her beautiful chef. “Did you hear that Karen escaped and ran away to go shopping yesterday?”

  Raylock chuckled as he cooked them all breakfast, the delicious smell of bacon and eggs cooking in oil and butter filling the cabin.

  “Yes, Duncan and Brad were not happy. They wanted to launch a full scale assault until they found her trying on shoes.” Raylock grimaced with distaste and it was Jacky’s turn to laugh.

  “I’ve told you Karen is the city chick. I had to bribe her just to come out here for a couple of days, the idea of staying here forever is doing her head in. I’m not sure she’s going to stay, even with all the pheromones and special stuff you guys can do.”

  Ashten walked into the small kitchen and scooped her up, placing her on his lap and cuddling her as he always did. The affection from these men amazed her; they never got sick of her touch.

  She kissed his nose and cuddled in, amazed at how natural this felt already. She’d be happy to live her life like this forever. She’d need a job, or at least something to do for the men and the business, but there were so many things to do. She already had a list.

  She could take visitors for walks, do the tour guide thing. Their website needed major updating too. She’d love all of it.

  Ashten tucked her hair behind her ear and said, “I hope you aren’t feeling the same restlessness, beautiful.”

  She grinned up at him and reached for a piece of bacon on the plate that Raylock placed down in front of her. She bit into it and moaned. Yum.

  “No, not at all. I’d love to stay out here with you guys, indefinitely. But I positively need to find something else to do other than have sex and sleep, you’ve broken my fanny.”

  “We didn’t go anywhere near your fanny… not yet anyway.”

  She frowned and realized that the American translation for fanny was very different to the Australian one. “I mean my vagina, pussy, whatever you want to call it. I love mating with you guys all the time, but I’m sore. And I really want to get back outside and explore the woods again!”

  The boys shared a look and Raylock served them all breakfast, an absolute mountain of food. No wonder her men were so big, there had to be over a dozen eggs scrambled and half a pig on the table.

  “We’d rather you stay with us.”

  Ashten scooped up some eggs and began feeding her.

  She jumped off his lap and pulled her plate in front of her as she sat down on her own chair. She wasn’t a child. “Look, I know you guys are trying to take care of me, but I can definitely feed myself, dress myself and preferably go for walks by myself. I’m a big girl, have been for a long time.”

  Ashten served himself breakfast and cocked his head at her in a gesture of surprise. “We thought by spoiling you, in bed and out, you would be more likely to stay.”

  That had definitely been the right decision, she most certainly wanted to stay!

  “And it has been amazing, but I’d love to just see what life would be like if I stayed. You know, show me what you guys do every day. Show me the land that you say is yours. I’d like to meet your brothers, all of that.”

  She looked at Raylock who just grinned and began eating, fried eggs, tomatoes and bacon flying off his plate and down his throat.

  Wow. And I thought I could eat.

  “Alright. Let’s start with a tour of the grounds and you can meet some of our other brothers.”

  Jacky gave them both a huge smile and shoveled some of the eggs into her mouth, growing excitement building in her chest. Being able to spend her days exploring this property was a dream come true.

  “By myself?”

  Raylock grunted. “No way.”

  She looked to Ashten, the calmer and more communicative of the two.

  “It’s not safe, beautiful.”

  “But you said there are rules about what can happen on your land. What could possibly happen if I stick close to the lodge?”

  “No.”

  Ashten smiled gently at her. “One of us will come with you, especially to start with. Once you learn your way around the place, we’ll see.”

  “Oh thank you!”

  She jumped for Ashten, giving him a kiss on the lips, then leaned over to kiss Raylock.

  Raylock grunted and kept eating. “We’ll see.”

  Chapter 4.

  The afternoon was simply beautiful, sunny, clear skies with a little breeze.

  “Please, please, please. Let’s go explore!”

  Raylock stood up, pulling on a shirt.

  “I have to go deal with a vampire situation. We were dealing with it when you and Karen turned up and we got called home. Some of the boys turned up last night and left word that the situation has got worse.”

  “Vampires? Really? Now that’s cool.” Visions of sexy, ancient men swam through her head and Ashten growled next to her.

  “Don’t go romanticizing them like the movies do. Vampires can be vengeful and especially nasty about property. And since they live practically forever, it means everyone has a beef with everyone else. It’s a pain in our arses.”

  Jacky frowned. “All of them? What a shame.”

  Raylock grunted. “No, not all. Some of them are decent people just wanting to go about their business, but this Amire crew… they aren’t seeing sense and I’m not sure we’ll be able to make them see it.”

  Jacky bounced over to her huge man-mountain and threw her arms around his neck.

  “Well, good luck then. I’ll see you later?”

  He nodded once and dropped his head for a kiss that took her breath away and did nothing to douse the always smoldering fire in her belly.

  “You will. Be careful.”

  He stomped off and she was left alone with Ashten.

  She turned and gave him her biggest smile. “Where shall we begin?”

 
****

  Ashten held tight to his beautiful mate’s hand as they traipsed around the land, pointing out sights, animals and trees she wanted to know about. She had a hundred questions and her enthusiasm was a joy to watch.

  “This is all so beautiful, Ashten! Let’s get higher, I want to see the view.”

  Jacky broke off from his hand, the coldness as she left him rushing over him was amazingly powerful and he took off after her. She was running through the forest, her happy laughter echoing around him like the most beautiful music.

  “I’m going to catch you.” He growled playfully and darted around the trees, pinching at her gorgeous bum and letting her continue to run.

  Ashten growled and stomped, his heart pumping and adrenaline streaking through his blood as he ran in the sunshine with his mate.

  They broke free of the forest and Jacky splashed into the low stream that flowed at the boundary of their property.

  Shit. I didn’t realize we were this far out.

  “Do polar bears like water?” She teased as she kicked her legs in the cold water, her delighted face one of true beauty.

  He stood still and watched her stretch her arms out wide, turning her face towards the soft winter sun.

  “We love it actually. This is the boundary to our land. It runs the south and eastern borders.”

  He pointed down towards the area where the river winded between two massive Alaskan cypress trees.

  “Really? Who owns this side?”

  Jacky jumped out of the stream and strolled towards the farm next to them.

  Ashten’s heart began to pound as fear skittered along his spine.

  “Jacky, come back. You’re not safe when you’re off our land.”

  She turned and smiled at him, raising one eyebrow. “You gonna come and get me, big guy?”
