Dominic’s mind couldn’t help but flash back to that night, he cornered Valaria in the bushes at the Riverside compound after a run, he could distinctly remember her shoulder length black hair which has now mostly been cut off to a shorter style, and her amethyst eyes that drew him in and how could he forget her intoxicating scent?
“OK Richard, I'll admit she may very well know all my dirty secrets,”
“You best hope that she doesn’t, Reno was a long time ago, but it is a wound best left undisturbed.”
Valaria cranked up the air conditioning in the SUV as the temperature reached 36 degrees Celsius, Lucy had passed out in the back seat about four miles back and Charlie was slumped in the front passenger seat, she couldn’t quite tell if he was sleeping as he had a pair of sunglasses on and if there was any Wolf on the planet that didn’t snore it was Charlie, a little test,
“We’re about five miles out now,” Valaria called over the sound of the fans in the AC unit,
Charlie stirred and sat up right, “Sorry Boss, didn’t realize how tired I was,” his voice still had that groggy sound to it after waking up and he wiped his eyes to help focus,
“It’s OK, drive has been quiet, it has given me time to think,”
“About what boss?” Charlie asked as he placed his sunglasses on the top of his head and grabbed a bottle of water from the centre console cup holder,
“The Pride we are going to meet, the leader is an old friend, we haven’t spoken in a while and we didn’t leave each others company on great terms,” the Panther explained, not on great terms? what an understatement, Sarah told Valaria if she ever returned to Nevada she would be strung up by the neck and used as a chew toy for feral Panthers, all down to one small indiscretion,
“What did you do?” Lucy asked as she sat up and grabbed a cigarette from Charlie's breast pocket,
“It was before I became an enforcer, I was a rebel child of the Royal family, i maybe kind of fucked her sister, a lot,”
Charlie dropped his jaw while passing a lighter back to Lucy who was in such shock that the cigarette dropped from her lips,
“So that was why your father made you an enforcer, so you couldn’t travel away from the Pride any more,” Lucy picked up her cigarette and lit it from the Zippo lighter Charlie was holding, “To be fair,” she took a couple puffs on the lit stick, “Her sister is gorgeous,”
“Oh yes she is,” Valaria exclaimed, “There might be a fight when we get there, just let it roll,”
“Sure thing, but you have exactly two miles to go before that happens, best freshen up, pull over there,” Charlie pointed to the Gas station and Valaria did as he suggested, right now she was really missing Amber, Charlie couldn’t drive and Lucy had an injured ankle from jumping out of her boyfriends truck after Tyrone’s funeral, plus Amber knew how to calm any situation.
Amber placed her empty glass on the tray beside her and spoke with slightly slurred words, “So, you’re tellin’ me, this Whole place, was imported from Rome?”
Juliette couldn’t help but chuckle at the intoxicated Wolf who after asking her question passed out, “I take it this one does not often drink?”
“You would be right in that assumption,” Stacy replied, “Me on the other hand could do with another,” Stacy shook her glass at the Eagle-shifter who tried to hide a flirtatious smile as she poured the Wolf another glass or rum,
“When did he die?” the question was abrupt and sobering to Stacy’s ears, she sat upright and became tense,
“Who? Stacy asked placing her glass down on the nesting table beside her seat, her heart began to pound in her chest, betraying her feelings,
“Your Soulmate, I know, how did I know? it’s your scent darling, you lost him before the bond,”
Swallowing hard Stacy replied, “Yes, I was six, he was five, he was killed by hunters while on a run, I didn’t go, I was too ill,”
“And now you blame yourself, and despite being in a new relationship you can not help but want others,” the French accent began to grate on Stacy’s nerves,
“That is none of your business, what I do and who I do it with is my concern and Noone Else's!” Stacy stood and left the room, she was quickly followed by the Eagle-shifter female,
“Excuse me,”
Stacy turned ready to spout more abuse at the pompous French bitch but was met face to face with the server,
“I can show you to your room, and perhaps,”
“Perhaps?” Stacy questioned with a raised brow.
“I would offer to draw you a bath, help soak the French off,” the Eagle-shifter had a defiant smile creeping across her very dark features, she was slim though the uniform did nothing to show her figure, dark skinned with plush lips and deep green eyes, her hair was in neat dreadlocks that were then tied into a headpiece and secured with ornate bamboo rods,
“A bath sounds perfect about now, thank you,” Stacy paused not knowing how to refer to the server,
“Names Chloe,” she curtsied lifting the edge of her skirt which revealed she was wearing white stockings and a garter, they contrasted her skin making her look even darker and most definitely more exotic,
Chloe lead Stacy up the grand staircase and to the fourth room on the left side, once she opened the door she allowed Stacy to enter first, the young Wolf was met by dark wood floors, surrounded by similar shaded walls and in the middle of the room was a bed fit for a king, coated in sheepskin pelts, on one wall there was a fireplace already lit and casting an orange glow over the room, beside it was a single door that Chloe had made her way to and opened to the bathroom.
When Chloe emerged she announced, “Your bath is running, I will fetch some fresh towels and be with you shortly, please make yourself comfortable, there is a robe on the bed for you, and you can place your clothes in the hamper,”
Stacy was about to respond but found herself alone, she made her way to the grand bed and perched on the footboard, kicking off her boots and rubbing the soles of her feet, her eyes drifted around the room, it was pretty bare really, a small wardrobe and a chest of drawers was all that occupied the space other than the bed, pulling off her tank top and tossing it into the hamper at the other side of the room she mocked a cheering crowd and continued to undress, she never thought she would be so happy to remove a bra but after a 10 hour flight and two hours of drinking her breasts needed air, she unzipped her jeans and dropped them to the ground before removing her panties and wrapping the plush white robe around her, before she could tie it closed Chloe entered,
“Ah all undressed i see,” the Eagle looked Stacy up and down as she quickly tied the robe, Chloe saw enough to know that Stacy was a fit, strong and trim woman, with a tattoo under her breasts,
“Yes, getting that off was a gift from the goddess,” Stacy pointed to her bra that was hanging off of the edge of the laundry hamper,
“I can most definitely understand,” Chloe moved closer and straightened the collar of the robe, she knew that she was in Stacy’s personal space but the scent coming from her was intoxicating, Watermelon and Strawberries, “Forgive me for saying, but you are the sweetest smelling Wolf i have ever come across,”
“You are forgiven, but I have to admit, you are pretty sweet smelling yourself,” Stacy smiled as she took in the scent of Coffee and Honey, Stacy couldn’t help but bite her lip as her Wolf took in the sight of the rare creature, Eagle-shifters were a species that were rarely seen, they had worked their way into society like every other species but they didn’t brag about who they were, some were politicians, surgians, corporate bankers and the like but some like Chloe lived the simple life, work a normal job and live a normal life, there hasn’t been a shifted Eagle sighting in nearly eight years, unlike Wolves and Panthers, Eagles don’t need to shift, their Eagle side is always near the surface, they are always smart and observant creatures where Wolves need to shift to let their Wolf side escape.
“Thank you, I’ll go check on that bath,” Chloe walked into the bathroom with a
sway to her hips that drew in Stacy, she wanted her, and after what she did to Mal, her Wolf could do with a sexual release too,
Stacy sat on the bed again, this time facing the bathroom door, she crossed her legs, and let the robe slip open exposing her breasts to the warm air emanating from the open fire, she knew this wouldn't change anything, she still dumped Mal in a letter that she left in her room, and no doubt he threw a fireball at her bed, but she was allowed to have some fun now and again, especially if it means having hot crazy sex with an Eagle-shifter before getting into a steamy bath and doing it all over again,
Chloe stepped back into the bedroom and to the grateful surprise of Stacy she was wearing nothing but her crisp white stockings and garter, the orange light danced across her licorice toned flesh and the flames bathed the room, Chloe's eyes had shifted and shined a bright amber with her wide pupils dark as the night, she didn’t say anything, she didn’t have to, it was clear to Stacy that she read the room well and this beautiful Eagle-shifter wanted the Wolf just as much as Stacy wanted Chloe, Stacy slipped herself from the bed and let her robe drop to a heap below her, Chloe stepped forward, she was elegant in every way, when she stepped there was a lightness to her she seemed to be floating as if gliding in for the kill, before Stacy could count the seconds their lips were entwined, Chloe’s fingertips lightly grazed over Stacy’s hips and up towards her shoulders, the young Wolf deepened the kiss letting her tongue move with the moment, Stacy traced the shape of Chloe’s body with her hands with the slightest of contact, all the while Chloe was gently groping at the Wolfs breasts that were now pert and her nipples hard to the point of being painful, Chloe broke the kiss and took one of Stacy’s dark nipples into her mouth suckling like a lamb, Stacy threw her head back and moaned cupping the Eagles head with one hand as the other reached for her nethers, Stacy slipped a finger between the warm moist lips and instantly felt Chloe’s reaction as she bit down on the nipple, again Stacy moaned with pleasure forcing her to probe deeper,
“Holy Fuck!” Chloe exclaimed as Stacy drove a digit into her, the flooding heat washed over her and she returned the favour, the young Wolf twitched and arched her back as Chloe found her moist entrance and began what would be a gentle assault on her G Spot, the pair fell to the bed and Stacy couldn’t help but grip the sheepskin pelt with her free hand, grasping tight she used her other hand to move deeper seeking out that one place to give Chloe what she had already felt, but it wasn’t allowed, Chloe began moving away from Stacy’s grasp, kissing down the tight toned form of the Wolf-shifter, every peck and nip felt like lightning strikes against her skin, Stacy gripped with both hands now, her claws extending for better purchase as Chloe reached her destination and began teasing with the tip of her tongue,
“Oh Gods, Right There!” Stacy gasped as Chloe found the perfect technique of slipping between the folds and circling the swollen bud above her entrance,
Chloe licked hungrily at the sweetness before her, holding onto Stacy’s thighs keeping her from squirming away Chloe buried her tongue deep inside, Stacy arched her back and let out a silent scream as her entire body clenched in ecstasy, the Wolf forced her way out from under Chloe and pounced forcing them both off of the bed to the floor in front of the fireplace, landing on top Stacy took the opportunity to repay the Eagle and began licking her wet folds, before she knew it Chloe’s tongue was back assaulting her own clit, for what seemed like hours the two pleasured each other, orgasm after mind shattering orgasm, an onslaught of lustful uninhibited bliss that would leave Stacy satisfied but wracked with guilt.
Chapter 15
Valaria sighed as she put the SUV into park and shut off the engine, the building they were about to enter was the Pride house of the Nevada Panthers, the Pride leader Tanya ran three of the top grossing casinos in Vegas, her Panthers nearly all worked for her at said casinos and her sister Sarah-Jane runs a legal escort service for those who like Preternatural play time, that is who she would need to convince to help, she had more Preternatural connections in Nevada than anyone else, if anyone knew the leader of the Incubi lair it would be her.
“OK, when we go in we act like a bunch of shifters here to have a good time, Tanya will find us and then all hell will most probably ensue, hold back, whatever you do, I can take care of myself, besides, I'll have to let Tanya get a few hits in as payback,” Valaria explained to the drowsy Lucy and over caffeinated Charlie who were both looking like they were hungover, Valaria just chalked it up to the heat,
The trio walked into the Cassino and were met by dim lighting, lounge music and an empty environment,
“Oh Shit!” Valaria exclaimed raising her hands in the air as if being arrested,
“Oh Shit indeed, Valaria Westingdale, could have sworn I told you to never return to Nevada, even had your daddy assure me you would stay away, but then you did kill him so…”
The unknown voice was abruptly cut off by Valaria, “William Westingdale is Not dead, despite my best efforts,”
“I know, I just thought I should test you, never can be too careful with family,” The owner of the voice stepped out from the shadows of the bar and gave a wicked smile, her eyes were blood red and her fangs and claws were on show for all to see, but they weren't the claws and fangs of a Panther-shifter,
“What the actual fuck?” Valaria stared at her family member with a look of disgust, “When did miss high and mighty let herself be turned?
“Oh this?” the deathly pale woman asked as she admired the pitch black claws on her right hand, “About two months ago, I am now the leader of the Nevada Panther Pride and the Vampire Queen of Las Vegas, and you are the Queen of the West coast Panthers and an Alpha to a Wolf Pack, how cute,”
Valaria spat her words, “It’s more than a Wolf Pack, we accept any kind,”
“Yes, so I have heard, I believe one of my subjects is under your employ, a Native American, caused a ruckus way back when, ring any bells?”
Valaria thought for a second, “Valor?”
“That’s the one, I'm going to need him back, he has a lair to run,” the woman grabbed a glass from the rack and poured herself a drink, “Then I will give you what you came for, my title to the Panthers,”
Valaria nearly choked on fresh air, “You think I want that? well shit, You can’t have Valor, and I don’t need you, i can find Sarah-Jane by myself,”
“Sarah-Jane? what you need a quick fuck again?”
“Yes, yes i do, and your sister is the only girl who could ever get me off,”
The Vampire snarled at the Panther and grinned, “You can find that crack whore selling slut down at the Dukesville, you can’t miss it, it stinks of human lust and preter despair,”
Valaria decided one thing needed to be done before they found Sarah-Jane, she pounced head on at the former Panther lashing her Ursal claws across her chest and leaving four deep bloody gouges across the dead woman's breast, “That is for the worst years of my life,”
Charlie grabbed Lucy by the wrist and lead the two Panthers out of the Casino and back to the car, “You have just started a war with fucking Vamps boss,”
“Yes, I did, but that traitorous bitch deserved it,”
The trio drove down towards the Dukesville and parked at the hotel next-door, Charlie and Valaria made reservations in a south facing suite so they could watch the Dukesville for activity while Lucy parked the SUV away from the hotel in case they needed a getaway.
“So what’s the plan here Boss?” Charlie asked as he placed an open bottle of beer beside her,
Valaria grabbed the bottle and took a long drink before responding, “I want to hire one of her Incubus whores,” Valaria couldn’t help but crack a smile as she watched Charlie's jaw hit the floor,
“Tell me you’re not serious,” the enforcer remarked as he popped the top off of his own beer,
“I’m deadly serious, but not for me, for Lucy, she needs a good fuck and we need intel, I’m pretty sure she’ll be fine with it,” her words had a matter of fac
tness to them that Charlie had only heard from Dominic, it seemed that her Mate was rubbing off on her,
Charlie shook his head and turned to the rooms main door as it swung open to show a rather unaware Lucy,
With just a look, the young Panther could sense something was going on, “OK, who do i have to blow to get us out of this?” Lucy meant the statement as a joke but Charlie cocked his head and his facial features grimaced, “Oh, I really gotta blow someone?”
“No, not blow, hunnie, i want you to Fuck, an Incubus, until he is drunk on lust and spills the beans,” Valaria spouted the words as if it was a carefully laid plan,
“Oh, an Incubus? I’ve heard they are pretty good at making Panthers come,” Charlie once again shook his head, “I’m so in, but you’re paying,” Lucy pointed to her Alpha who nodded,
“Go take a bath, I’ll make the call, shall we say midnight?”
As Lucy lowered herself into the grand lion foot roll top tub, she let the heat of the water consume her entirely, she rested her head back and slowly closed her eyes, the sound of the candles flickering in the background helped to block out the sounds from beyond the walls, although this particular hotel was Preternatural friendly it hadn't yet been updated with the sound proofing developed at Predtech, an insulation so advanced it electronically deadened sound between walls and windows to the point that not even the keenest Preternatural hearing could penetrate it.
"Lucy, you OK in there hunnie?" Valaria's voice was muffled by the large walnut door, however it was clear enough to drag the young Panther out of the relaxing trance,
"Mhmm, yeah I'm all good here," she replied shifting herself in the tub to a seated position, "I may have forgotten a towel though,"
Valaria smiled sweetly, "I'll go grab you one, and a robe,"
A few moments passed before Valaria entered the lavish bathroom, towel and robe in hand, "I'll place them here for you hun," placing the items carefully on a lone chair in the corner of the room Valaria turned to leave,
