ROMANCE: Mr. Mystery: (New Adult Bad Boy Romance) (Contemporary Mystery Short Stories)

by Viva Fox

  Elliot smiled at her before he kissed her cheek, letting his lips move across her nose to her other cheek, giving them equal attention. She giggled at his sudden gentleness. “I’m going to be so sore in the morning…” She admitted, her cheeks turning red at the thought. He chuckled suddenly.

  “What, you think I’m done with you?” With that, he seemed to be revitalized with a new type of energy when he suddenly grabbed her and pushed her down onto her knees before him. “Maybe you can do me a little favor?” He had a devilish grin on his face as he moved to the edge of his seat and rubbed his member back to life.

  His dick was covered in a mixture of their excitement, but he ignored it as he felt himself reach the point of arousal once more. Valery watched him, almost mesmerized for a moment before taking control. She held out her hands to him and gave him a sharp glare, commanding him to unbind her. He chuckled and undid the belt. When she was finally free, she got straight to work. Her hand wrapped around him, jerking him off to perfection as her other hand crept down to his balls, giving them a light squeeze.

  She looked up at him with an innocent little smile as her hair framed her face, making her seem angelic, despite what she was doing. When she thought he was hard enough, she opened up her pink lips into a perfect O shape. She leaned down, slowly easing him into her mouth until she wrapped her lips tautly about him. He groaned as he felt her hot mouth for the first time.

  Her tongue flicked around his tip, now almost purple in his state of excitement. Her tongue explored every inch of his tip, moving along slowly before she would speed up again. Elliot couldn’t handle this torture. All of a sudden, he grabbed the sides of her face, his fingers tangling into her long hair. In this position, he pushed her head down, until she had nearly every inch of his dick down her throat.

  She started to gag slightly, but he continued to push her down, until he finally pulled her back, affording her some breathing room. He continued this onslaught on her throat as he groaned in pure pleasure as the feeling of her expert tongue was too much for him to handle. His hold on her hair became tighter as he felt himself getting closer to a second orgasm.

  Valery was eager to please as she continued to suck him off, her hands on his thighs now. Her nails digging into them, using them for leverage in order to go deeper and faster. Her head bobbed up and down, her hands caressing against his thighs as he shivered. As he felt a tightening in his balls, he knew he was going to explode at any moment.

  When it finally happened and he spewed his load down her throat, he howled loudly, his sound of pleasure carried throughout the entire forest. He kept her head on his dick, forcing her to swallow most of his seed before he finally pulled her away and grinned, knowing there was much more fun to be had. She just looked up at him, panting and wondering what more the night would bring.

  Chapter 9

  As the sounds of their pleasure echoed through the forest, Stanton grinned to himself. They had finally given themselves away. After months of searching for them, he had finally found them, by chance no less. “Everyone stay here. I will finish him off myself.” Stanton ordered his pack, knowing they wouldn’t go against his command.

  The other wolves looked at each other for a moment, wondering whether it was safe for their leader to go out and do this by himself. The other wolf would have gained in strength by now, given the amount of time that had passed, it was impossible to tell how the alpha would match up to the mutt. Maybe it was that Stanton was getting full of himself. Either way, the pack couldn’t go against his word, no matter how ridiculous the request.

  When he was certain they wouldn’t follow him, he shapeshifted and shot off into the night, listening for the screams of pleasure that led him straight to the two people he needed to eradicate at this moment. Stanton let his wolf propel him forward as he moved elegantly throughout the woods. Soon, he reached a small cabin.

  He made his way around the building, checking the surroundings. Elliot, although a mutt, was by no means dumb. He had chosen this location for a reason. The stagnant lake at the beginning of the hovel was enough to overpower their scent, making them impossible to detect thus far. Sneaky. Stanton was getting frustrated. He had spent so much time looking for Elliot and to think he was right under his nose all along.

  The fact that a mutt had been able to outsmart him, annoyed the alpha. “You’re going down this time…” He whispered under his breath softly and grinned, his sharp teeth glittering in the moonlight. He strained his ears slightly, trying to hear some noise within the house, but it was deadly quiet now. Getting closer to a window, he tried his best to listen even more. The pressing silence was irritating, but as he got even closer, he finally heard something.

  Heavy breathing. His ears twitched at the noise. As he took a whiff of the air, he could smell the distinct scent of sex. They had been mating. Stanton felt himself growl in response. The girl was supposed to be his mate. He had claimed her as his own, but this mutt had stolen her. In his anger, he dashed into the house, breaking through the front door.

  The sound of splintering wood raged through the cabin as the wolf made his way to the center of the living room, looking around, seeking out a fresh kill. He would either make it out of this building with Elliot’s head as a trophy or wouldn’t make it out of the building at all.

  ***

  Elliot got up with a start when he heard the sound downstairs. With almost no effort, he pushed the dresser in front of the door for protection. He pushed some other pieces of furniture there as well before tossing some clothes in Valery’s direction. “Put these on, quick, and hide. Under the bed.” His voice was tense as his senses strained, in an attempt to hear what was happening downstairs. Everything was deadly quiet. Elliot could feel the anxiety bubbling up inside of him. He had a pretty good idea who was downstairs and he had prepared for this. He just wished that Valery wasn’t here. He really didn’t want to risk her safety again.

  As he waited for something to happen, he quickly tossed on some clothes, a little irritated by the fact that someone had crashed their intimate moment. He thought back to their lovemaking for a moment before focusing on the task at hand. Looking back, he noticed Valery now crawling under the bed. It wasn’t the best place to hide, but there wasn’t any other place where she could take refuge under the circumstances.

  All of a sudden, something banged into the door with massive force. The dresser rattled when it happened, but the door held firm. Elliot stepped back and shapeshifted. The transition from human to wolf was fluid now, with no pain running across Elliot’s face. He had come a long way from the first time he had transformed. He was a much larger wolf now, his fur almost silken as it glowed with a healthy sheen.

  He growled in anticipation as he looked at the door, which now rattled as something kept banging against it, trying to break it down. Suddenly, the hinges gave way, the dresser toppled over and a large wolf came into the room. He growled viciously as he saw the mutt challenging him. He was an alpha, who did this pup think he was?

  Letting his anger fuel his next move, Stanton lunged forward, pinning the large wolf to the ground. Elliot snapped back his fangs, coming dangerously close to the alpha’s neck. Stanton was able to keep the other wolf down for a moment as he cackled in his pride, thinking he was one bite away from winning the fight.

  In his gloating, he eased up his grip just enough for Elliot to throw him off. His body crashed into the wall, leaving a sizeable indent behind. Stanton whimpered slightly but got up as quickly as he could before squaring off to the mutt once more. He couldn’t believe Elliot had the audacity to challenge him like this.

  He lunged forward, but this time, Elliot was prepared and sidestepped in time to avoid the attack. Taking his chance, his jaws locked around Stanton’s tail, one of the most sensitive parts of a wolf. Stanton retaliated quickly with his claws, managing to sink them into Elliot’s flesh. Elliot growled in pain and lunged at the alpha wolf until they tumbled across the room together.

  The roo
m was slowly being destroyed in their toil. The furniture was in pieces and the only thing left untouched was the bed. Valery didn’t know what to do as she hid under it. A part of her wanted to go out and stop the fight, but another part of her knew how ridiculous it was to assume she could do such a thing. So she just laid there, looking at the fight, praying that Stanton would not notice her.

  The battle between the wolves continued. Elliot was obviously the larger and stronger wolf in this battle, but it seemed like Stanton’s pride as an alpha seemed to be fueling him toward a newfound strength. His attacks were more precise and he was quick on his feet. It seemed like an equal match.

  As the battle kept going, however, Stanton seemed to get out of breath, his tongue lolling out of his mouth as he tried to recover himself just enough to get the upper hand while Elliot seemed to be completely fine. He didn’t seem winded at all. Stanton glanced around the room, desperately looking for a way to gain an advantage. He knew that he had to do something to win this battle.

  All of a sudden, he noticed a pair of eyes under the bed. He grinned to himself before dashing forward and grabbing Valery by the shirt. She tried to squirm and get away from him, but he kept her pinned to the floor with his paws. “Let go of me!” She screamed, fear suddenly shooting through her whole body. This was the same wolf that had hurt her before. She remembered all the pain her broken leg had caused her. By no means did she want to go through that again.

  “Elliot! Please!” She screamed out suddenly when she saw the wolf’s teeth come dangerously close. In that time of peril, all she could think about was Elliot. In an instant, she felt a red hot heat rush across her neck as she gasped out, feeling the hot stickiness of blood running across her skin. Her eyes grew big as she felt her heart beat quicken, driving the blood out of her body.

  It pooled up beside her as she heard the wolves fight nearby. Elliot had tackled Stanton off Valery and now he was finishing the job as his claws dug deep into the wolf’s body and his lip curled back, revealing his full set of razor-sharp teeth. He hesitated but a moment before lunging forward and snapping his jaw around the alpha’s throat.

  Whipping his head back, he was able to rip the enemy wolf’s throat out. He struggled for breath for a moment before the life faded from his eyes. He laid there, limp and lifeless now before Elliot turned around quickly, turning to his human form now that the threat was gone. He rushed to Valery’s side, fearing the worst. His body froze up when he spotted the rose of red on her neck.

  She had been bitten. Horror was written all over his face as he tried to figure out the best course of action. She was bleeding heavily. He grabbed a discarded shirt and pressed it to her neck in an attempt to stop the bleeding. She was whimpering in pain and he knew that what she was about to experience in a short amount of time, wasn’t going to be pleasant at all.

  He grabbed hold of her hand and quickly placed her on the bed. Laying down next to her, he held her in a firm grasp, trying to keep her still. She was thrashing about by now as the pain started to flow through her body. She was going through the transformation and it would be a painful one. “Shhh… it's okay…” Elliot whispered softly in her ear.

  She, however, just shook her head, not being able to hear him. She was too racked with the fire-like pain, which now spread through her body. It felt like her entire being was possessed with pin and needles and the sensation was intensified to an impossible measure. She started to scream in agony, begging for it to stop, but once a wolf transformation began there was no stopping it.

  She clutched at the sheets and her toes curled as the pain intensified even further. “ELLIOT!” Her screams bounced off the walls as she called out for the only person she could trust in that moment, but he was helpless to ease her suffering. She just had to deal with it, until it was all over. Elliot did his best to keep his grip on her. He knew that if he let her go, she would go on a rampage just as he had done on his first night as a werewolf.

  If there had been someone to restrain him then maybe her fiancé would still be alive, but instead, he had killed the man she was supposed to marry. Flashbacks of that night came back to him as he tightened his grip on her. He wouldn’t let her go and allow her to do what he had done. No, he would keep her here until the transformation was complete.

  His arms tightened around her a little more as her body began to change ever so slightly. Her nails grew longer and her face started to take on a different shape. The blurring of her features was hard to focus on, making the transformation a strange thing to witness. Elliot looked away, refusing to see the angelic girl he had come to love, turn into some kind of monster.

  He still didn’t want to come to terms with the fact that this was all his fault. If it wasn’t for him, she would still be a normal girl, living a normal life. Instead, she was going through agonizing pain for his sake. She screamed loudly and her back arched as the sound of snapping bones echoed throughout the room, making him cringe. As he felt the softness of fur against his arms, he knew the transformation was complete.

  Chapter 10

  He was almost afraid to look when he opened up his eyes. She was a small wolf with red wiry fur. In her own unique way, she was beautiful. There was a strange feeling in his chest which he couldn’t quite understand as she looked up at him. He didn’t know what to do about it, but somehow his body eased into the form of a wolf.

  His larger form hovered above hers for a moment. They locked eyes and everything shifted. Something in his heart stirred like there was a magnet fused into both of their chests, causing them to gravitate together. His heart thudded in response as he moved his jaw closer to her neck. He could smell her like never before.

  It was the clear scent of arousal and he wondered what it meant as he got closer to her, his paws pinning her down. All of a sudden she tried to squirm away, but he kept her there, tightening his grip on her as he growled. He wouldn’t let her escape him now. He wanted her. He needed her.

  With this thought, he suddenly bit her neck, making her howl in response. The sound sent a shiver down his spine, the fur on his body standing on edge. He had never felt that way before. It was the mixture of excitement and fear, underlined with the subtle hues of love. He shied away from thinking about such strong feelings, but there was no denying that he had fallen for her. Inside of him, his wolf was calling out to him, making him realize that this woman was his mate.

  As his instincts took control, he couldn’t shy away from it any further. He bit her neck once again, this time keeping his jaw locked on it, until he was sure that there would be clear bite mark left behind. She howled once more before her body went limp and she took on a submissive position beneath him.

  She whimpered softly before gently licking his chest. When this happened, he turned back into his human form and looked at her. “Valery… I need you to listen to me. I need you to relax and calm all the emotions that are overwhelming you. I need you to turn back into a human.” His voice was calm as he gently reached forward and scratched behind her ears. She seemed to enjoy the feeling as she stopped and stared at him as if seeing him for the very first time.

  She seemed to almost nod and close her eyes as she tried to concentrate on her task. Doing so, she slowly started to transform back into a human, her wolf body making its small transition back. Elliot smiled when it seemed to be less painful. He was glad that he had managed to prevent her from going on a wild rampage, much like he had.

  “Are you okay?” He asked, obviously concerned as he laid his hand on her cheek, his thumb soothingly rubbing against her skin. She nodded, but she had this glazed-over look in her eyes. He could tell that she was not quite with it yet. “Valery…” He whispered and shook her slightly, hoping it would help her remember.

  She blinked a couple of times and the life returned to her eyes as she looked up at him, suddenly wrapping her arms around him tightly. She cried into his chest as her arms slung around his neck, pulling him close. He was taken by surprise, but wrapped his arms around he
r waist anyway, pulling her toward him as he tried to comfort her.

  “What’s wrong?” He asked, trying to figure out what had caused the sudden surge of emotions.

  “Thank you.”

  “What?”

  “Thank you for saving me.” She whispered into his chest when she managed to stop herself from sobbing for a moment. Elliot looked down at her in utter shock. That was the last thing he had expected her to say. He hadn’t saved her at all. On the contrary, he had allowed her to fall into the realm of werewolf. She was now a monster like himself and it was all his fault. He felt sick to his stomach just thinking about it.

  “But… I didn’t protect you… I let Stanton bite you.”

  “He could have killed me.”

  “But he turned you into a werewolf…” The words hung in the air as she remembered her short time as a wolf. She was now part of this group of individuals that she didn’t even know existed, until very recently. Would she be able to go back to normal life despite this new development to her character or would she be shunned into a life of living in the woods? All of these questions swarmed around in her mind, threatening to overwhelm her. She suddenly felt very afraid of the future. There was no telling what it could hold for her.
