Meridian Warriors: Xander and Des

by Jana Leigh

  Damn it, that dream made her ready to pay the men to show her what they looked like when they made love, it drove her crazy thinking about it. It was as if she was Des, or Xander—shit, one of them. They were projecting, she knew it, when they came in the next day and were all relaxed and shit. She was ready to scream at them when they brought her chocolate, and a beautiful necklace.

  Why did they have to be so nice? she thought.

  Every day the men came to continue with the wooing of their women. They only hoped it was working or they may just have to kill Sage.

  “I get you can watch movies and stuff, but can you get the news?” Alex asked her men as they walked the hallway of the medical floor. Her arm was finally out of the brace, although it was aching and she was going to start therapy, she was happy.

  Both of the men took one of her hands as they walked and pointed out different windows, showing her their city from above.

  “We can if we tap in or look on the Internet, why? I would have to give the okay for that, right now, the only ones who have permission are Cash and Rosul. We are on a blackout until we have more information,” Xander asked curiously.

  “I was just wondering if my father had been on the news lately? I would assume he would eat up that I was missing,” Alex asked.

  “He is an asshole,” Xander said. “We will tell you when you can get online.”

  “What Xander is so rudely trying to say is, we want to protect you from him if at all possible,” Des said softly.

  “No I am not. I am saying he is an asshole, and I am pretty sure he is up to something.” Xander frowned. “I don’t want Alex hurt by anything the prick does.”

  Alex laughed at the two men. She could see the difference between them. Xander was blunt, and Des covered up his harshness. It was funny to watch them interact. She wondered how they acted when they were in front of their men.

  “I think I’m a big girl and can decide for myself if I want to see it or not,” Alex said.

  “However, this is my city, I make the rules, and right now it is too dangerous for us to search online, unless you have been trained in hiding yourself. It can hurt everyone in this city and I am responsible for all of them. So right now, no you may not,” Xander said.

  “I am not asking permission!” Alex snapped.

  “Good, ‘cause you are not going to get it,” Xander snorted.

  “Okay, so can you see the carts? Those are how we get around, they are fun,” Des said trying to distract the two of them.

  Alex paused and looked up at Xander, “So you just think you can boss me around?”

  “As your mate, and your King—yes, I do. However, I will respect what you have to say and always listen. Even when we may not agree, I will take your request into consideration,” Xander said slowly.

  “See, the man can learn!” Des said.

  Alex laughed and rolled her eyes. “Great.”

  That same night she had another dream, when they came the next day she was practically drooling:

  Xander melted into the seat in his office, feeling nothing but relaxed and happy. This was why he loved sex. It was the best high ever and completely legal. Hell, if he could keep Alex and Des naked and tethered to his side, he would, then he’d never have to go another day without a fix. With a rush this good, once a day wouldn’t even be enough.

  That pleasant thought hardened into a frightening realization. This was different. This was better. Alex and Des were better than any damn thing he’d ever had, and what the hell did that mean? Xander tensed, trying to block any answer that sprung to mind. They were all bad, horrible ones that ended with him naked and tethered to their side.

  His pride stiffened, becoming more inflamed as he blinked his eyes open and greeted the reality awaiting him. They were in his office, waiting for him, naked and ready. Des was kissing Alex when he opened his eyes, running his hands over her body, while he memorized her mouth. Xander licked his lips and then cleared his throat. That hot mouth of Des’s had destroyed his concentration—shattered his control.

  “Come here!” he said firmly. Both of his mates complied, kissing each other one last time, before coming to stand by his side.

  Standing with sweet firm curves, looking like a sex kitten with her lips all swollen and cheeks flushed from her exertion, the sight of Alex had Xander’s cock swelling with renewed interest as he considered that she looked like the perfect mate, but the woman was far from tamed. From the twinkle in her eyes, Xander knew she waited for his response.

  He wouldn’t do it. No matter how hard that pussy wept for him to lunge across this chair and rip those damn panties out of his way—he wouldn’t give her the joy of shredding his control again.

  Then he looked at Des, his male mate—bulky and buff. Knowing every inch of the man only made this mating better. He felt closer to his friend. It was as if they could read each other’s minds.

  “Oh, don’t look so worried,” Alex soothed with too much smug amusement in her tone for Xander’s liking. “I still love you, even though you are an arrogant asshole.”

  Xander sucked in a sharp breath, as red flashed over his vision in a blinding burst of rage, but the insults didn’t stop coming. Alex was enjoying herself a little too much and risked sliding a little closer to tease him with that soft, sexy tone.

  “It’s all right. Des can help me relieve myself when you are busy. I get you have a city to run and that sometimes I won’t get your undivided attention. Last night I just missed you so much.”

  Every muscle in his body trembled under the strain of holding perfectly still against the pleasure of feeling her plump curves press into his side. The whisper of heated breath delivered the last blow to his tenuous control to break all his restraint.

  “But this time, big boy, you’re not going to get to watch.” Alex smiled and looked at Des. “We are pulling the mating card. You have been working too hard.”

  “We are trying to keep us a secret, the Hopis are trying to ping us again,” Xander said.

  “And the reports will be there in the morning,” Des said firmly. “I have read them already, we are safe. Our friends have taken care of everything for now.”

  It had been a long day and the only thing he wanted to do was sink into his mates’ arms and let them love him. Finally, Xander snapped. Hard and hot, he lunged for Alex, taking her down to the desk and pinning all those delightfully squirming curves against him. From breast to toes, she felt wonderful—soft and plush—grinding up against him in a wanton demand that made the laughter falling all around him more antagonizing. Des pushed behind him and leaned over.

  “I am gonna fuck you while you take care of our mate,” Des whispered and Xander moaned and kissed Alex. When he pulled back, she smiled at him, and ran a hand down his back. Des was already caressing him, kissing his spine and neck until Xander could barely keep control.

  “Go on, darling.” She arched her back, pressing her puckered tip right between his lips as she tempted him with her breathy demands. “Remind me how good you are with that magical mouth.”

  Xander growled and nipped her in retaliation, earning him a shriek and a jerk as she offered herself up for his rough play. The damn woman shouldn’t have done that, and he shouldn’t be giving in. But Xander couldn’t stop himself, not that he bothered to be gentle.

  He didn’t have the control left to be anything other than what he was—starved. Plump, soft, and tasting like the cherries she smelled of, Xander couldn’t get enough of her delicious-tasting breasts. Capturing one tightened nipple between his teeth, he pinched the other in his fingers and rolled it with the same savage motion he treated her first one to with his tongue and teeth.

  Alex went wild beneath him, showering him with all the moans he’d ached to hear. They blurred around him as her fingers clawed through his hair, smothering his face deeper into her breasts. Xander rewarded her aggression with teasing nibbles as he licked his way from one pointed, pink ti
p to the other. Already blushed and furrowed from the rough caresses of his fingers, Xander showed her tender tip no mercy as he latched down on it and suckled her deep into his throat.

  Her whole body jerked under the ferocious assault, giving him a full-body massage that brought her soaking pussy right up along the flaming ridge of his cock. The little, silky crotch clung to his skin, bathing him in the hot wash of cream that spilled out from the pussy molding its lips around his thick length.

  It felt beyond good. Xander couldn’t control the urge to grind himself deep between those plump nether lips and scrape the burning head of his cock against the tiny clit buried in her folds. Alex shrieked and tensed a second before her hips went crazy as she ground her sensitive little bud against his cock. With each press, her body jerked, her breathy moans turning into breathless pants and trickling out broken words.

  “Don’t…stop…oh, God…don’t…” Alex groaned.

  Des reached down, pulled some of the cream from Alex, and used it to lubricate Xander, his mate moaned and tensed when he pushed the first finger in his backside. Des smoothed a hand down his back, then reached around and fisted his mate’s cock, pushing it toward Alex’s entrance.

  Whatever control Xander had mustered to pull back from his own release, he couldn’t resist Alex.

  His whole body arched upward, driving his cock straight into the tightest, wettest sheath he’d ever plunged into. God bless her, Alex was just the wildest thing. Xander thought he’d known just about every kind of pleasure sex could offer, but the frenzied rotating pumps of Alex’s hips were taking him to a whole new level.

  Des positioned himself at his back entrance and Xander thought he had died and gone to heaven when his mate breached his ass. He never thought it could be like this, being loved between two mates, damn it he needed to focus.

  The pulses of her tiny pussy eating up every inch of cock stretched his skin so taut that when she twisted and pushed up, Xander was the one groaning, blindly reaching for her hips to slam her back down. He’d had enough of playing.

  Burying his face into the breasts hovering too temptingly close to his lips, Xander latched onto one nipple and unleashed all the aggression pounding through every cell in his body. The aggression, an uncontrollable riot that had him forcing Alex to fuck him, just the way he needed—harder and faster. Never once did she complain.

  Des picked up the rhythm that Xander started and was moving in and out of his backside, making Xander feel too much. He faltered a stroke wondering if he was going to actually make it. The sensations were amazing and he wanted to just remain still and let his mates take him for the ride of his life.

  He couldn’t take it, Xander pulled Alex to the edge of the desk so he could enter her deeper with every stroke, using all his body weight to force her pussy to take every inch of his cock.

  Beneath him Alex screamed, her own fingers latching on to her legs, to hold her legs out of the way as her hips pumped up to meet the desperate strokes of his engorged shaft.

  All that did was drive his need for more, to see just how big a fire he could build before it consumed him. Leaving her to hold her legs, Xander ground his palms into the desk and levered himself up, letting him use all his strength to fuck one passionate scream after another out of Alex’s body.

  Des was murmuring in his ear, holding him around the waist now, because of the frenzied pace, they were like a musical in perfect harmony, together they were unstoppable.

  They were flushed, sweaty, and sexy as hell, as Alex writhed beneath him, caught in the same endless storm as Xander. It broke with a violent crack of lightning that shot pure, unadulterated bliss straight up Xander’s spine. In that last second before the rapture blew out his mind, Xander’s ears echoed with Alex’s and Des’s screams as they came together.

  Alex shot up in bed. Panting and looking around. Damn them, there was no other explanation. They had to be messing with her sleep. She looked at Gabby and Sam, they had not woken up, but they were both obviously having a great dream because they were moaning, just as sure as she was, only moments ago.

  She lay back down and wondered for a brief moment, if the love they were talking about in her dreams was the love they were beginning to feel for her. She closed her eyes and the last thing she thought about, tomorrow she was going to really give them a piece of her mind.

  Chapter Ten

  “So, after theratorture, what are we going to do?” Alex said sweating as she lifted the weight with her arm and winced.

  Xander laughed from the weight bench across from her. His skin was soft and shiny with sweat. “What would you like to do?”

  “The lake on the far side of the city. Can we go for a swim?” Alex asked. They had talked about shifting, and she wanted to see what they looked like. For the last few days that is all she talked about. She was also having a hard time keeping her hands off them.

  They were sexy and she could feel the pull they explained was the mating pull. It was strange to feel so connected to two men she had just met, but it was true. She was getting used to it, and was finally ready to ask them about the mating. Alex and her friends had been talking about the mating and none of them knew what to expect. It seemed like it was going to be something weird.

  She was worried since they were shifters that they would have to exchange blood or something. Alex just wasn’t sure if she could do that, it was a little creepy.

  Des walked in the room looking refreshed after showering. He worked out before they were done with therapy, so he would and could help Alex if needed. Which had only happened once but it made the men freak out. She had been in the shower and slipped knocking her shoulder against the wall.

  Unfortunately, she had screamed loudly. Xander and Des heard her and had come running. While tears streamed down her face, they had helped her get out of the shower and into a robe, and then made her sit while Des went to get Sage to check her out. It was silly, but since then, one of them was always on hand when she had to shower.

  They were also very overly-protective when any of the other Warriors came too close, they pulled her away. It was frustrating. Sam and Gabby were feeling the same thing, but the men had a hard time listening. Which was why she as going to talk to them about the mating today. What the mating entailed and meant for them.

  “Alex wants to go to the lake,” Xander said and looked at his mate. They had been frustrated about not being able to claim their woman, and Xander was losing patience.

  Des looked at Alex and asked, “Why?”

  “Because I want to see it, and from everything you have told me, if we go there I can really see you shift. Plus, I just want some answers about a few questions,” Alex admitted and finished her work out. She stood and looked at the men and watched as their expressions turned from suspicious to excited and she felt a warm tingling flow through her.

  “Awesome, okay, so get ready and I will make the plans. Alex, I will be in calling distance if you need me,” Des said and Xander stopped his workout and stood.

  “Okay, we can leave in thirty,” Xander said, stopped beside Alex, and pulled her to him. She grinned.

  Over the last few days they had also began to touch her more. She liked it, and it made her much more comfortable when they did things like this. Xander wrapped his arms around her and looked down at her. She wanted to giggle when she felt Des come up behind her and share in the embrace.

  Xander laughed when her face flushed in embarrassment. “Why are you so suddenly shy, sweetheart?”

  Alex took a deep breath, looked over her shoulder, smiled at Des, then looked at Xander, and sighed. “Because you both scare the shit out of me,” she whispered.

  Xander went to let her go, but she hung on.

  “Not like you physically scare the shit out of me. I mean this whole mating thing scares the shit out of me.”

  Des kissed her gently on the neck and then set his head on her shoulder and said, “Well, what exactly scares you?”

  “The whole mati
ng and being together forever. Where would we live, I don’t think I could stay down here forever, I mean, I have my apartment and my stuff. I would need to talk to some people. I can’t just disappear forever,” Alex said.

  “Okay, let’s get cleaned up, go to the lake, and we can have a long talk about things when we get there?” Xander said, smiled, then bent his head, and gently kissed her on the lips.

  When he pulled back she frowned, when were they going to take this farther.

  “But make no mistake, you will be our mate. We will figure this out, you were meant for us.”

  ***

  When they walked out of the medical building, she got her first look at the city. It was amazing. Their homes were made of logs, but they had a lot of windows. Des explained that Rosul had equipped all of their homes with the same windows that were in the hospital floor. She had a hard time thinking she had been in the hospital for the last two weeks. So much had happened, yet it was exactly the same.

  Cash and the techies had been monitoring the web, and her father was looking for her. He had even gone as far as to tell one group she was having psychological problems. Alex had been so angry when she saw—the men thought they were going to have to tie her down. She threw things around until she was finally worn out, and then cried herself to sleep with them all around her.
