I rolled my eyes at Cain’s “Request” but was overwhelmed with sadness that I had to let my brother go now, as it wasn’t enough time together.
I looked to the guard. “Ok, thank you.” I turned my gaze to Gunnar, a sad smile resting on my features. “It’s been so nice to see you, brother, and I have truly missed you.” I stretched my arms out and stood on my tiptoes while he bent down and wrapped those big arms around my petite frame. We embraced each other in a suffocating hug, one that was full of love and care.
I squeezed him a little tighter and whispered, “I’ll see you again soon, I promise.” I told him with promise.
We finally pulled back from one another, and Gunnar smiled before being escorted off the pack territory. I stood there watching him leave, wanting more than anything to follow him, to go back home with him. However, my home and family were here now, with Cain and the Dead Pack, and they needed me more than anything right now. I felt like it was my duty to protect the pack members and to protect Cain.
I walked back to the house and proceeded towards Cain’s office. I stood in front of the door for a moment, wondering if an argument was about to pursue. Then, finally, I knocked on the door and heard his gruff voice bellow from the other side. “Come in.”
I opened the door and stepped in, closing the door behind me. “You wanted to see me?” I said with a smile.
I could tell Cain was angry, as his jaw was tightly clenched. “Why was your brother here? On my territory and against my orders?” He asked through clenched teeth.
I huffed in annoyance. “Gunnar already told you the reason for his visit. He just wanted to see me and ensure I was doing well. Because he cares about me and misses me.”
Cain’s nostrils flared. “Your brother was told not ever to come here, and he disobeyed the terms of the treaty by doing so.” He hollered.
I straightened myself. “So what are you going to do? Kill him? Kill my family? My pack members? Am I now banned from ever seeing my family again, just because I am your mate?” I growled out, beyond frustrated now, and my wolf agreed; we were tired of being treated like prisoners.
Cain stood from his chair; his eyes were near black now. “Your brother knew the terms of the treaty. But, unfortunately, he chose to go against those terms, and the consequences are on him now.”
My chest began to heave as anger boiled up inside of me, and I slammed my hands down onto his desk. “So he deserves to die, just because he wanted to see me? If that is the case, then you will have to kill me too. I will not stand by a man who kills his mate’s brother over something so fucking stupid.” I spun on my heels and stomped towards the door, but before I could reach it, I was hauled back and slammed down onto Cain’s desk.
Cain hovered above me, fury emanating from him. The veins in his neck were protruding, and his eyes were pitch black now. “How many fucking times do I have to tell you to stop walking away from me when I am speaking to you?” He snarled.
I had never been afraid of Cain until this moment; this was a side of him that I hadn’t seen yet. A side of him that was truly a demonic beast, even my wolf whimpered and retreated to the back of my mind. I remained silent and avoided his soul, destroying gaze. However, Cain cupped my chin roughly and forced me to look at him. Cain’s eyes bore into mine; a furious look was evident on his handsome face, but then, it faded, and a glimpse of remorse took over.
He released my chin and sighed heavily. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have reacted like that; I shouldn’t have scared you. However, I will let your brother’s disloyalty slide this time and this time only.” He said sternly, “The next time he does or anyone else from your old pack, I will not let it slide, understood?”
I nodded my head. “Yes, thank you.” I was grateful that he had suddenly changed his mind but still felt angry and upset with him.
He brought a hand up and cupped my cheek with it, gently caressing my skin with his thumb. “If you want to see your family, just ask, and I will take you,” Cain said softly.
My brows shot up. “Really? You’re not lying?” I asked.
Cain snorted. “I am not lying.” He said while smiling.
I reached up and wrapped my arms around his neck. “Thank you, that means more to me than you know.” He wrapped an arm around my back and pulled me in tighter to him, while the other arm held his weight above me.
Cain loosened his grip and reared back a little, then cleared his throat. “I have something to ask you.” He said shyly.
I tilted my head slightly. “What?” I was curious to know why he seemed embarrassed.
He cleared his throat again and avoided looking at me before quietly saying, “I would like to take you out on a date, if you will go with me, of course.” Cain finally looked at me, and it was clear that he was anxious.
I smiled brightly. “I would love to go on a date with you.” Now, this side of Cain was the one I wanted to get to know and be with forever.
Cain released a lung full of air and smiled. “Good, I am glad. We will be going tonight, be ready by 7:00.” He stood to his full height now, brimming with excitement and happiness.
I was feeling overly happy about tonight; I was excited to know the plan. “Ok, I’ll be ready. Should I wear something certain? And what are we doing?” I asked, hoping he would spill.
He wagged his finger at me. “Tsk, tsk, my love, you will just have to wait and find out. Wear whatever you like; you look beautiful in anything.” Cain smirked.
I sat up on the desk and grinned. “Aww, aren’t you a kiss ass. I mean sweet.” I laughed.
Cain spread my legs apart with his hands and stood between them. He placed the palms of his hands on the desk and leaned down, brushing his lips against my ear. “Yes, I am a kiss ass. Because that ass of yours is too delicious not to kiss.” He nipped my earlobe gently, then released it and started to kiss my neck with those fiery hot lips of his. Shivers of ecstasy coursed through my body as wetness began to pool between my legs.
He continued to kiss my neck, slowly working his way down to my collarbone, then the top of my breast. His other hand was now sliding up my leg, reaching between my thighs and his fingers glided along the smooth material of my jeans. My breathing quickened as he reached my aching pussy, rubbing it gently against the fabric.
I ran my hands through his hair, gripping it firmly, then Cain stopped kissing my skin and captured my lips again, kissing me feverishly. Finally, I released his hair and ran my fingers down his sculpted chest till I reached the hard bulge hidden in his pants.
Cain groaned with pleasure when my hand made contact; just the slight touch, although through the fabric, had him even harder now. Then, suddenly, Cain broke the kiss and reared back. “I think it’s time for your punishment.” His tone was laced with lust.
I arched a brow. “You can’t be serious? You’re really going to punish me?” I asked incredulously.
A mischievous grin spread across his lips. “Yes, I am being serious, and yes, I am going to punish you, my love,” Cain said in a lust-filled voice.
Cain then gripped my wrists in his firm hold before lifting me off the desk and spinning me around. Finally, he laid me face-first back down on the desk. My breathing quickened as I waited for his next move.
I could hear Cain unbuckling his belt, and my thighs squeezed together, knowing what was coming. “Grip the edge of the desk.” He demanded, and I did so.
My heart pounded in my chest as I listened to the sound of Cain’s belt being yanked from his jeans. My nails dug into the wood of the desk, and my pussy ached with need.
Cain ran the belt along the length of my back. “You just love to disobey me and misbehave, don’t you?” He said in a husky tone.
I remained silent, squirming from the anticipation, and I guess Cain didn’t like my silence as he smacked my ass with his belt. I gasped, and my pussy throbbed upon contact.
“I asked you a question; answer me.” He said in his Alpha tone.
I bit my bottom lip. “Yes, I do,” I admitted to him.
His chest rumbled, and his left hand gripped my ass cheek, squeezing it firmly. Again, Cain smacked my ass with the belt, and I jolted forward, moaning loudly.
Cain leaned down, pressing his cock against my ass and thrust against me, letting me feel the hard cock in his pants that begged to be free. Finally, he reached up and hooked his arm around me, then wrapped his hand firmly around my throat and tilted my head back. “Do you like that baby?”
I ground my ass against his ever-growing erection. “Yes,” I said breathlessly. A low growl rumbled from him before he nipped on my ear lobe. His other hand reached around my stomach and slid down my pants, snaking its way into my panties. I closed my eyes and moaned, basking in the feel of his fingers against my wet folds.
Cain ran his fingers along my soaked pussy, then inserted a finger and started pumping inside of me. My climax was nearing the edge now, and I continued rubbing against him, needing that friction. Suddenly, Cain stopped and removed his hand from my pants before rearing back. I gasped in shock that he stopped when I was so close. I loosened my grip on the desk and looked over my shoulder at Cain. He lifted his shirt over his head, revealing his beautifully sculpted abs.
Cain then lifted my hips, and both of his hands reached around me. He was now attempting to undo my jeans button. Just as Cain gripped the zipper of my pants, a knock sounded at the door, causing us both to freeze.
Cain growled with annoyance. “Who is it?”
A deep voice came from the other side of the door. “It’s Ryder, sir, and I must speak with you.” His tone sounded serious, emphasizing whatever caused him to disturb us.
I looked over my shoulder again and pursed my lips. “I guess we will just have to continue this later; it’s obvious that something is going on that needs your attention.”
He stared into my eyes longingly, the urge to continue what we had started battling within him. But, instead, Cain grumbled a few incoherent words before standing to his full height and putting his shirt back on. He grabbed onto my hips and pulled me up from the desk, then spun me to face him. Cainnreached down and did my jeans back up before kissing me on the forehead.
I situated my clothing and started towards the door when Cain grabbed my wrist and stopped me. “We will continue this later, my love and don’t forget, be ready by 7:00.” He said with a smirk and a wink.
I tilted my head slightly and looked up at him through my lashes as I bit my lower lip. “Yes, sir,” I said seductively, teasing him.
Cain released a low, possessive growl, and his eyes were flashing black. I spun on my heels and sauntered towards the door slowly, knowing he was on edge and ready to pounce. I chuckled internally before opening the door and leaving his office.
