“That’s Miss Robin Hood,” Melissa responded, and everyone dropped their forks and stared at her.
Melissa continued to eat as if nothing had happened.
“Melissa!” Logan called to her, and she glanced up in shock at his tone. Slowly she put the fork down. Just then, Vince entered the room.
“What?”
“You just answered us in our minds. You heard our thoughts and responded,” Logan exclaimed in shock.
“No, I didn’t. I was just imagining what you were thinking and talking to myself in my head when—”
Melissa covered her mouth with her hand and gasped as she jumped up from the table.
Jake caught her around the waist before she took off.
“It’s okay, Mel. This is normal, and it’s a good thing,” Vince added as he caressed her hair.
Melissa uncovered her mouth. “How can reading minds be normal? I didn’t even know I was doing it. I don’t understand this.”
“Don’t panic. Just sit down, and we’ll explain it all,” Logan attempted to calm her as Jake pulled her chair out and helped her to sit. Vince stood behind her massaging her shoulders as Logan explained the mating bond.
“So this is a good thing?” Melissa asked.
“It means that we’re making progress and our bond is growing stronger. The more we make love to you and fill you with our seed and connect, the stronger our bond becomes,” Logan explained then took a bite of a piece of bacon.
Melissa swallowed hard.
“How do I block it?” she asked, and Logan’s eyes widened in shock. His brothers looked at her with just as much upset.
Then the little minx chuckled.
“For a bunch of big, intimidating men, you’re so easy.” Then she picked up her fork and began eating. Vince laughed out loud then made himself a plate and sat down beside Frankie.
They talked a little more about the mating bond and hearing one another’s thoughts. Then they talked about the kids and their potential abilities. That’s when Logan noticed that Melissa’s eyes were tearing.
“Hey, what’s wrong?” he asked then reached across her lap to take her hand into his own.
“We didn’t use any protection. This is all so much to take in and I’m worried.”
“Ah, baby, there’s no need to worry about anything. You have five men who are your mates, your lovers and protectors,” Logan offered in support.
“But I was hoping to finish my degree and take the bar exam. I wanted to become a lawyer. As soon as I saved enough money, I wanted to pursue that career. I need to save money for the kids for college, and working at the club is not going to be enough.”
“And what makes you think that you can’t?” Jake asked her, sounding insulted.
“I don’t know. I thought maybe you guys expected me to stay at home. Maybe control my every move and be at your beck and call. You are Alphas right? Aren’t I supposed to serve you?”
“Are you crazy? We don’t want a puppet. We want a wife and a mate,” Logan exclaimed.
“Yeah, and you’ll have five men to help take care of the pups when they come along,” Vince added.
“We’ll work it all out, Mel. There’s no need to worry anymore,” Sunny firmly replied.
“You’re not alone anymore, Mel. You’ve got us. I’m glad that you’re talking in terms of staying and seeing this through. We’re meant to be together,” Jake stated.
Frankie stood up and walked around the table then caressed her hair as he looked into her eyes.
“We love you, Mel. It will all be fine, you’ll see.” He leaned down and kissed her lips softly then smiled.
“Okay. Now we have some business to discuss so we can keep our little Miss Robin Hood out of a jail cell,” Logan commanded as he stood up from the table, taking his plate with him.
Chapter 16
Fifteen minutes later, William Declan and his four brothers showed up at the Valdamar brothers’ home. Melissa was surrounded by monstrous yet drop-dead gorgeous men. The sight of them made her belly quiver and her eyes stick to absorbing every inch of their bodies. They knew it, too, as they stared right back at her as if she were their next meal.
Melissa was used to men looking her body over, but none besides the Valdamar brothers looked her over like these guys. She handled it well as she placed her hands on her hips and eyed them from boots to crew-cut heads.
One of the Declan chuckled. “You ready to back up that look there, dancer?” he asked, and she raised her eyebrows at him.
“You think you have what it takes, wolf?” she replied back, and the oohs and ahhs went through the room.
“Be careful, Mick, she’s not easily intimidated,” William Declan added as he took a seat on the couch and opened up a folder.
Melissa eyed the mouthy one, absorbing his blond hair and adorable dimples. He looked clean-cut yet mysterious. He shouldn’t be underestimated either.
She felt a hand go around her waist then tap her hip bone.
“Take a seat next to Willy. He has some questions for you,” Frankie told her, and she stared at Willy and his firm expression. That man was all business. As she walked toward the couch, Mick leaped over it and took a seat on the other side so she would be forced to sit between him and his brother. One look at his smirk and she took the challenge.
Logan grabbed her wrist to stop her. “Be honest with them, Mel. They’re here to help you and to put a stop to the murders and the drug dealing.”
She swallowed hard then whispered, “I trust you.”
He smiled in return, and she climbed over Mick’s long legs to get to the middle of the couch.
“Here’s the deal. Our main intel tell us that there’s a secret location and lab somewhere close to the city. The guy we had on the inside was getting close when he was killed. This location also acts as a kind of showroom for the types of drugs and distribution available and that Bret offers. We believe that there’s another guy involved with this operation by the name of Miguel. He’s been making his presence known on the streets and is said to have some major backers in Colombia and Mexico.”
“What about that warehouse we raided last week? Did they get you any leads?” Sunny asked.
Melissa was trying to pay attention to what they were discussing when Mick moved closer.
She looked him in the eye, and he tried to give her some sexy stare down that was supposed to turn her on. She realized that it turned her off. There were only five wolves she was interested in, and right now they were watching her. Taking in Mick’s good looks, she felt nothing. Beyond a little flirting here and there it seemed that the Valdamar men had ruined her.
“Good,” she heard in her head, and she looked at the five of them. They stood with their arms crossed in front of their chests, and they didn’t seem too fond of her sitting so close to these men.
“It was your idea,” she stated through their link.
“Hey, Melissa, I’ve seen you dance before. I think it was at a bachelor party a couple of weeks back. You’ve got some great moves,” Mick teased, looking over her cleavage and then sniffing her hair. She heard the low growls and knew her men were close-by if this wolf tried anything.
She sat back, re-crossed her legs, then stared at him.
“Hey, I think I do remember you,” she whispered, and he smirked at his brothers who seemed to be annoyed at the game he was playing.
Mick leaned closer. “You do?” he asked then winked.
“Sure I do. I always remember the cheap tippers.” The guys laughed, and Mick got up from the couch and cleared his throat.
“I was just messing with her,” he replied.
“Yeah, well, fun and games are over. Let’s get down to business,” William replied.
“So this is the situation. We need to find the main manufacturing lab and this showroom. I’ve got people on Miguel, and Bret is hard to locate. He disappears the moment we’re close to him. Being a wolf has its advantages.”
“You can find Bret at
the club. I’m working tomorrow night, and he usually plans a meeting with the other two guys you should be covering. Carlos Munos and Chico Ferone. There’s also a third dealer. It’s actually a family. They’re from the Philippines.”
“The Philippines?” Jake asked. She looked at him and nibbled her bottom lip.
“They are, but they have a Spanish last name. It’s Fernandez.”
William wrote down the names, and one of his other brothers left the room as he talked into his cell phone.
“Anything you can tell us about them? What’s their involvement, and where do they get their drugs from?”
Melissa was hesitant a moment as the fear hit her gut. Vince moved next to her and touched her shoulder.
“Tell him, Mel, so we can move on with our lives and put all this bullshit behind you.”
She found strength in his touch, and knowing that they loved her and wouldn’t leave her gave her courage.
“I can tell you anything you want to know. But first I need to know that my children, my aunt, and my friend Celine will be protected.”
“We’ve got guys covering them. They’re safe and we will continue to protect them until this is over,” William promised then smiled at her.
She immediately looked at Logan, and he nodded for her to trust William’s word.
Taking a deep breath, Melissa began to explain about Bret’s drug cartel and all the individuals involved with it. Then she gave the location of the secret laboratory and showroom they had mentioned, as well as names and locations of different suppliers. By the end of their conversation they were thanking Melissa and promising that they would establish a plan of attack.
* * * *
The Declan pack left the house, and Melissa crossed her arms in front of her chest and stared out the window. It was a done deal. She had officially snitched out the drug dealers and the bad guys. Her mates had watched her. They listened to her describe every detail and knowledge of Bret’s operation that she knew. She had confessed to her methods of pulling off the hits. She had divulged the locations of the three most important aspects of Bret’s operations as well as Carlos, Chico, and the Fernandez family. She couldn’t stop shaking. She feared for her family although she was confident that Bret wouldn’t find out that the information had come from her. Her other concern was Jamie. He had murdered her sister and brother-in-law, leaving three children without parents and sending them all into years of turmoil. Melissa had remained focused on the children and her aunt for all these years. She put so much pressure on herself to try and provide for her instant family. She was tired. It had taken Logan, Sunny, Jake, Frankie, and Vince entering her life for her to see all that she had missed and all that she would continue to give up. Could this really be the end of all the struggling with bills and security for her future and that of her family? Could these five men really love her and honestly be willing to take care of her and her family? The tears stung her eyes, and her heart ached with a mix of uncertainty and desperation for it to be true.
“It is true, and you belong to us now, Melissa. We love you,” Logan stated through their link, and the others added their similar comments. She sobbed by the window, and then she felt big, strong arms go around her. Jake laid his head on her shoulder and kissed her cheek.
“Don’t cry, baby. You’re breaking my heart.” He squeezed her, and she continued to cry.
“You’ve worked so hard, Mel. You’ve done so many great things, but the time has come to do what’s right for you. We’re in this together,” he whispered then kissed the top of her head and held her firmly in his arms.
Melissa stared out the window at nothing in particular as she absorbed Jake’s embrace.
“I’ve done some crazy stuff, Jake. I didn’t realize just how much information I had picked up on over the last year. I hope that I haven’t just written my own death sentence.”
Jake immediately turned her around to face him. He touched his fingers to her chin, making her look up at him.
“You’ve done no such thing. It was the right thing to do for you, for us, and for your family.”
“I’m scared,” she confessed.
He caressed her cheek and smiled at her.
“Look at me, Melissa.”
She did, and when she stared into his eyes, she saw him change from man to wolf, a protector of her body and soul. He sent his thoughts to her mind, and she understood the power he and his brothers possessed. She was in awe, but she held his gaze, and when he smiled, he revealed elongated incisors and a look that told her he could devour just about anything.
Melissa wasn’t afraid. In fact she was turned on as she felt her body sway toward him as liquid drenched her panties. She reached up and gently touched his teeth. She was amazed at the way his face partially shifted from human man to Alpha wolf.
“We are all bonded to you just as you are bonded to us. Ask me anything you want to know and I will tell you,” Jake stated. His voice sounded different because of the teeth.
“I’m wondering what it will feel like when your cock is deep inside my pussy, when you bring me to orgasm, as you all do so well, and you bite into me with teeth like that.”
Jake growled as his lifted her up, she straddled his waist, and he pressed her against the wall.
It was fast, and he was in complete control as Jake ravished her mouth, sucking and pulling on her tongue. Melissa grabbed him and pulled at his shirt and tried to undo his pants as he had his way with her.
She loved the feel of those teeth against her neck. He was strong and powerful as he used his chest and one arm to hold her up while his other hand undid his pants. He was magnificent, and so darn sexy she lifted her skirt higher and ripped the thong she wore herself. She felt hungry for his cock and needy to be connected completely. With Jake inside her, she would feel complete. Whenever one of her mates was deep inside her, she felt most content. It was odd, and it was beautiful.
He growled against her ear as he pulled his cock from confinement and she helped him line it up with her pussy.
“Fuck!” he growled, pushing forward and shoving his dick deep into her cunt. It was crazy and wild and just the way she wanted it. Thrust for thrust his hips rocked forward and backward. In and out his cock hammered into her. She moaned and held on to his shoulders, biting his neck, his skin, and anything she could latch her mouth on. Melissa felt his cock grow bigger and thicker. Her vaginal muscles clung tight to the steely iron and caused her to gasp for air. Her body rocked orgasm after orgasm until Jake grabbed her ass, thrust down then up, penetrating her deeply before exploding inside her as he bit into her shoulder. Melissa growled her release and held on to Jake until he finished pumping into her.
She hadn’t realized she was crying until Jake kissed her mouth.
“You taste salty,” he murmured, and then he realized why.
He cupped her face between his manly hands and held her gaze.
“Did I hurt you?” he asked, and she half chuckled and half sobbed then placed her hands on his face just like he held her face.
“No. I just love you so damn much it’s overwhelming.”
Jake smiled then kissed her lips and held her tightly in his arms.
* * * *
Jake and Melissa were so wrapped up in the moment that they hadn’t even known the others were there. Well, at least she hadn’t noticed. When she looked over Jake’s shoulder, the others were standing there watching them with smirks on their faces and desire in their eyes. But Frankie was twirling her ripped pair of black panties around his finger.
She blushed then pressed her face into Jake’s neck as he turned around to see what had embarrassed her.
“Nice,” he commented then pulled his cock from Melissa’s body and slowly set her down.
“You okay?” he questioned with concern still, not taking his hands from her waist and being sure she was able to stand.
“You’re not that good, Jake,” Frankie teased.
Jake flipped Frankie off then picked
his pants up off the floor.
Melissa grabbed a hold of Jake’s shoulder and laid her head against his bicep as she looked directly at Frankie.
“Oh, yes, he is,” she replied firmly, and Jake laughed, but Frankie looked at it as a challenge.
Frankie twirled her panties on one finger then used his other finger to point at her and curl it toward him, indicating for Melissa to come to him.
She felt her cheeks heat and her body warm up again as she slowly and seductively made her way to him.
* * * *
Frankie sat in the middle of the sectional with his legs wide open as he leaned back. Sunny sat on the end of the couch, Vince sat on the other end, and Logan stood behind Frankie. Seductively she crawled over Sunny, who issued her a nice smack to her ass before he undid the button on her skirt and pulled it from her body. She crawled out of it and straight to Frankie.
His eyes glowed, and she could tell she was turning him on.
* * * *
Frankie felt his cock push against the zipper of his pants, demanding release. But his little dancer was playing a game with him, and he wanted to see what she would do next. The way she allowed Jake to fuck her against the living room wall was hot. The way their emotions showed and how deep they felt the connection was a complete turn-on. He had to have her. His wolf needed to fuck her good, but all he could do right now was wait.
He held Melissa’s gaze as she crawled over Sunny. Sunny removed her skirt, and Frankie could see her glistening cunt just waiting for his cock.
“I want my panties back,” she whispered when she reached his thighs.
He swiftly pulled her toward him, wrapped his arms around her waist, and cupped both her ass cheeks.
“Is that all that you want from me?” he asked then pressed a finger over the crevice of her ass then to her sopping wet pussy.
She purred near his ear. “No. I want your big, hard cock, and I want it Frankie style.”
That was it for Frankie.
