“She what?” Cade said incredulously. “Thank God they’re shatterproof.”
“Let me go!” She attempted to wriggle her way out of Connor’s firm hold. But he wasn’t letting go.
“Stay still. You don’t want me to let you down. The way Cade’s glaring at you, you wouldn’t be able to sit for a week if I let you near him right now.”
You have to be freakin’ kidding me! What kind of kinky bastards were these guys?
Shelby shook her head, clenching her hands into fists to pummel them against Connor’s back. She didn’t care what he threatened, there was no way was she going to let him do what he liked.
“Let. Me. Down.”
Suddenly the world tilted again and she landed on the bed with a whoosh.
Connor followed her onto the bed, pressing his body over hers as he grabbed her wrists, holding them over her head. He surrounded her, making her feel lightheaded. His heavy erection pressed against her.
Seriously? He was turned on? She’d just pushed his brother’s balls up into his stomach and he had an erection.
Leaning in, he whispered in her ear. “Calm down, I can hear your heart racing. I’m not going to harm you. You have a choice. You can stop fighting us and I’ll let you up. Or you can keep fighting and I’ll put you over my knee and make those smacks I just gave you seem like love taps.”
How could that possibly turn her on? He was being a dominant, bossy Neanderthal and she wanted to jump into his arms and beg him to fuck her.
“I can smell how turned on you are, sweetheart. There’s no point in denying it. You like having me dominate you, don’t you? You might feel obligated to fight, but your body knows what it wants and your wolf knows who is in charge, doesn’t she?”
“You’re out of your mind,” she told him. “It’s just been awhile since I’ve been fucked.”
His grip on her tightened. “I’m warning you not to push me. People make the mistake of thinking I’m the easygoing one, but push me and you’ll learn just how much of a bastard I can be.”
How could anyone ever think him easygoing?
She heard a low groan then Cade joined them on the bed, lying on his back next to her.
“Fucking hell, I can’t decide whether to vomit or cry like a baby.”
“They’ll come back,” Connor said with some amusement. “Our guest packs quite a punch, doesn’t she?”
“Your guest?” she said, incredulously. “Is this how you treat all your guests, by locking them up in dingy little rooms, invading their privacy, and ordering them around?”
“I think we’ve been more than polite to you considering what you just did to us,” Connor growled.
“And what was wrong with your room?” Cade asked. “It’s clean. I had the whole place disinfected for germs.”
Was he serious?
“It was freezing cold and there was no privacy. I had to pee behind a blanket. For all I know, you’re going to load those videos online for everyone to see.”
Cade’s eyes widened. “We would never do that.”
“She knows that, Cade,” Connor said, looking at her sternly. “She’s exaggerating in the hope she’ll gain some sympathy. Sarcasm or jokes mean little to him. He takes most things literally.”
“So if I told him to kiss my ass?” She glanced over at Cade.
“He’d most likely kiss your ass.”
“And enjoy every minute of it,” Cade said with a grin.
“Are you going to get off me? I can barely breathe. You weigh a ton.”
Connor grinned but rolled to the side, still holding her wrists in his hand. He placed a heavy leg over hers.
She glanced up at him in exasperation. “You can let go of me, it’s not like I can go anywhere.”
“No, but I don’t trust you not to try to decapitate one of us. I’ve experienced more injuries in the last twenty-four hours than I did all last year.”
“I doubt that’s true. With how annoying you two are, I bet people take swings at you all the time.”
“Maybe, but we always come out on top,” Connor whispered. “You can’t win, Shelby. Just give in. Tell us who you’re working for.”
“No.”
She strained against his hold.
“Lie still,” he growled.
Cade rolled toward them, taking hold of one of her wrists.
“I am not going to just lie here and let you do what you want to me.”
Connor brushed his free hand down her side, leaving shivers in his wake.
“Aren’t you? We can smell your arousal, Shelby. Wouldn’t you like one of us to bury his head in your pussy while the other one sucks on your nipples? Have you ever dreamed of having two men touch you? Take you? Make you theirs?”
Heat engulfed her, making her feel dizzy.
She shook her head, trying to clear it. “I don’t want you touching me.”
“Now that’s a lie,” Cade said. “You want us touching you, you just wish you didn’t.”
“Are you lying about wanting us, Shelby?” Connor asked.
“Whether I want you or not doesn’t matter. I’m still not going to tell you anything,” she replied defiantly.
“But you do want us,” Cade reiterated.
God, they were persistent.
“Yes! All right?”
Cupping her cheek with his hand, Connor kissed her. He slipped his tongue between her lips and every thought of escaping fled. She wanted more.
His mouth left hers and she whimpered. “No, you are definitely not unaffected, are you, trouble? You want both of us.”
“I want a taste,” Cade demanded, turning her head to face him.
She cried out, the sound muffled by his mouth as he covered her lips with his.
Where Connor sipped and seduced, Cade went straight in for the kill, taking her mouth in a scorching hot kiss. He pushed the wide collar of her T-shirt down until her breast popped free.
She murmured in protest, not wanting him to see how inadequate she was. She had little in the way of curves.
“Shh,” he told her, lifting his mouth from hers. “Let us taste.”
Connor let go of her hand and knelt on the bed. Grabbing the top of the T-shirt, he ripped it down the middle.
Shelby raised her free hand to cover herself.
Cade growled and reaching beneath her, pinched her butt.
“Ow,” she complained, glaring up at him. “What was that for?”
“Don’t ever cover yourself in front of us.” He pulled her hands away, leaving her breasts completely exposed.
“Don’t,” she groaned, embarrassed.
Cade raised his eyebrows. “If you tell me you don’t want us touching you then we’ll know you’re lying. And I don’t appreciate being lied to. You can’t lie with your body, sweetheart.” He dipped one hand between her legs, swirling his finger through her juices. He held it up so they could all see how much moisture covered the digit.
“But I’m… Oh God.”
Not to be left out, Connor now had his hand between her legs, only he was using his thumb to tap her clit as he pushed one thick finger against her entrance.
He raised his gaze, first meeting hers then his brother’s gaze.
“She’s a virgin,” he said with satisfaction.
Cade grinned.
She groaned. “Oh my God, this is mortifying.”
They stared down at her in confusion.
“In case you haven’t noticed, I’m not exactly built like a sex goddess and now you’ve figured out that I’m so inadequate that I haven’t ever had sex.”
“Inadequate?” Connor growled in a low voice. “You’re the sexiest woman I’ve ever seen. I don’t ever want to hear you talk about yourself like that.”
“I don’t understand,” Cade said in confusion. “How can she think herself inadequate because she waited for us?”
“I didn’t wait for you!” she cried.
Connor dipped his mouth to her nipple and sucked on it strongly.
>
Shelby arched her back as heat flooded her. She rubbed her thighs together as her clit throbbed. Then Cade leaned down and took her other nipple in his mouth, giving it the same treatment.
“Oh, oh, oh,” she cried out, thrashing her head back and forth.
Connor sat up first, followed by Cade. “That’s better. At least we know how to get her cooperation.” He looked over at Cade. “She thinks her body isn’t attractive.”
Cade’s eyes widened. “Not attractive? Can’t she feel our erections? If I wasn’t attracted to her, I wouldn’t be lying here, ready to come in my pants. Does she need proof of how much we want her?”
Shelby blushed at his words. She could feel their erections and they were impressive.
“I don’t think she’s quite ready for that yet,” Connor said. “But we’ll need to work on her self-esteem. Find out exactly why she thinks she’s unattractive.”
“Hey, you’re not doing anything. Stop talking about me like I’m not here.”
“She’s talking again,” Cade said. “We should do something about that.”
“Good idea, brother.”
Both of them dropped their heads to her breasts again, sucking on her nipples strongly. They lapped at her nipples with their tongues as they each pushed a hand between her thighs, drawing her legs up to rest on each of their hips.
One of them tapped at her clit while the other rimmed her entrance. Her orgasm grew and she knew she wouldn’t be able to hold back. No pleasure she’d been able to give herself had even come close to this overwhelming need.
She screamed as she gave in and came, her whole body shuddering as she gasped for breath. They didn’t relent, continuing to play with her gently, drawing out her release.
When they finally raised their heads, she had melted against the bed like a pile of goo.
“How you could ever think this body inadequate, I’ll never understand,” Cade said as he ran his hand up and down her body.
“We’re going to have to do a lot of reprogramming. She has a bad self-image and she seems to have a suicide wish, challenging us at every step.”
Cade nodded. “She’ll have to learn to listen better and how to obey.”
Their words slowly penetrated, fueling her temper. What the hell was she doing, lying between them like this? What had she just allowed to happen?
Shelby shot up. “You have got to be fucking kidding me!” she yelled as she scooted away from them. Her back hit the headboard and she drew her legs up against her chest, drawing the tattered ends of the T-shirt around her. “You’re high if you think this is ever happening again. Both of you need to leave. Now.”
Connor raised his brows. “Shelby, in case it’s escaped your notice, you’re our prisoner. You do what we say, not the other way around.”
“So you’re just going to rape me whenever you feel like it?”
Cade’s gaze narrowed. “We didn’t rape you, we pleasured you and you enjoyed every minute. If anyone should feel used, it’s us.”
He adjusted himself, grimacing.
“Get used to it,” she told him. “Because there is no way I’m allowing you to touch me again.”
“Oh, you’ll do more than that,” Connor said standing. He leaned over her. “You’ll scream our names in pleasure, you’ll take us into your body, and you’ll enjoy every second.”
“So you do intend to force yourself on me?”
“We won’t have to. We’re not going to fuck you, Shelby.”
She glanced up at Connor as he straightened. “Really?”
“No, not until you say, ‘pretty please, Cade and Connor, will you fuck me’.”
“Hell will freeze over before I ever say that,” she spat out.
“We’ll see,” Connor said with amusement. Cade stood and grabbed her, hauling her over his shoulder.
“Wait,” she cried out, hating the panic in her voice. “Where are we going?”
“You’re going back to your room for a long think about what your options are,” Cade told her as he left the room.
“I’m not dressed!”
“I’ll get another T-shirt and meet you down there,” Connor said.
“Grab a portable heater too,” Cade replied. “The room is too cold for her.”
“This is crazy. If you let me go, I promise not to tell anyone. I promise to stay away from the senator, whatever you want.”
“I want you to stop lying.” Cade quickly ran down two flights of stairs to the basement. He moved into the room she’d been locked in and threw her on the bed. She winced as her sore ass met the mattress.
Cade gazed down at her. “I have a lot of patience, Shelby. But I’m not going to wait forever. Tell the truth and we’ll let you go.”
“Will you?” she said skeptically.
Connor entered and placed a small heater on the floor. He plugged it in before placing a T-shirt on the bed.
They both turned away.
“You’re just going to leave me here?” She felt almost abandoned.
“I think a time-out is just what you need,” Connor said with a smirk.
Patronizing bastard. She wasn’t a child. But as they left, shutting the door behind them, she sure felt like throwing a tantrum worthy of a toddler.
Connor shut the door, locking it as Cade took a seat in the other room. Cade divided his attention between the laptop and his brother, who was pacing back and forth.
“What the hell is happening? First she knocks me out, then she breaks my nose and she smashes your balls and yet I can barely pull myself away from her. My wolf is tearing at me, wanting her, it’s all I can do to control him.”
He looked over at Cade in frustration. Cade nodded. “I know. I feel it too.”
Cade leaned back and folded his arms behind his head. His wolf was very much a part of him. Cade was much more in tune with his wolf than most werewolves. He and his wolf tended to agree over most things. And they were in complete agreement in their feelings toward Shelby.
“She’s ours,” Cade told him.
“What?” Connor replied, running his hand through his hair.
Seriously? He didn’t know what was going on? Cade sighed. Connor often let his emotions get in the way of the facts.
Cade didn’t have that problem.
“She’s our mate.”
Connor stilled and looked at him. “Don’t joke around, Cade.”
Cade frowned. “How often do I joke around?” Pretty much never.
Connor paled and sat at the table. Cade glanced back at the video feed. Their mate was sitting on the bed, glaring up at the camera. His lips twitched. Even though she shouldn’t be fighting them, he did admire her bravery.
Still, she would learn to obey them without argument. He wouldn’t put her safety at risk by allowing disobedience.
“You’re really not kidding, are you? You think she’s our mate?”
“I don’t think. I know. She’s our true mate. If we’d fucked her, you’d have no doubt. Are you sure we should leave her in there? She seems mad. I can’t see her welcoming our touch again.”
“Of course she’s mad. She’s our prisoner. It’s possible she’s trying to harm the man we’re charged with protecting. She can’t be our mate. You’re mistaken.”
“I’m not.” Cade didn’t say anything more. He didn’t have to. Connor knew it was the truth, he was just fighting it.
“Shit. Shit. What are we going to do?” Connor said with frustration.
“Claim her.”
“We can’t claim her, Cade. What if she won’t answer our questions? How are we supposed to keep our mate locked up?”
“We won’t have to. Soon as we mate with her, she’ll answer our questions. Any behavior we don’t approve of will immediately stop once she is ours.”
Connor shook his head. “You seriously think she’s just going to jump at our every word, don’t you?”
“We’re her mates. It’s our job to keep her safe. She will acknowledge our authority.”
No way would he allow his mate to be in any danger.
“Look at her. Does she really look the type to jump when you say jump?” Connor gestured at the laptop.
No, right now their mate was prowling the room, growling softly as she shot venomous glares at the camera. But that would all change once she had mates, wouldn’t it?
Suddenly, Cade didn’t feel as certain.
“I still think we should hand this over to someone else,” Connor said.
Cade snarled. That was his mate on the other side of that door. He’d touched her, tasted her, he still had the scent of her pleasure on his fingertips. No one else would go near her.
“No. She’s ours. I will not trust anyone else with her.”
Connor leaned his arms on the table. “Look, I don’t like this any better than you do. But right now I’m not thinking about Sam’s safety, I’m not thinking about the answers I want from her. All I’m thinking about is getting back into that room and sinking my dick into her sweet pussy. Tell me you feel any different.”
Cade felt the same way. The urge to take her, to claim her beat at him.
Connor was right.
“I think we need some space,” Connor said. “No one else will go in there or interact with her. But we need to calm down and think this through.”
Cade sighed. “All right. But I’m not staying away from her for long, and I’ll be keeping watch over her.” He tapped the laptop. “Why don’t you change and go for a run of the perimeter? It will fix your nose.”
“Why has Dylan left the laptop here? Shouldn’t he be keeping an eye on her?” Connor asked.
“He’s using his other computer. He must have left this here. I’ll take it back with me. Go. You need it. I’ll get her some more food and watch over her.”
*
Connor raced through the forest in wolf form, breathing deeply. When some of his restless energy had been expended, he slowed, taking more notice of his surroundings.
He pushed everything out of his mind as he concentrated on patrolling the grounds. While they weren’t expecting anything to happen with Sam away they couldn’t let down their guard. The one human guard who had been left behind was the laziest of the group.
Connor changed back, dressing in the clothes he’d left in a messy pile. He moved to a spot where he could see the house.
