Force of Nature Series Boxed Set (Books 1 - 4) (57 page)

Chapter 17

They spent three days in bed. Phil wasn’t sure if it was a record or anything, but he certainly felt like it was. He was going down the stairs to his kitchen to fix Holly a much needed breakfast when his cell phone rang. He groaned when he saw who it was.

“Rolland, I told you not to bother me unless—”

“She’s dead. She met the sun this morning. I had her in one of the cells until last night, but she asked to see her friend Shelly. I didn’t know, Phil. I’m so sorry, I had no idea.”

Lisa had killed herself. If Phil was honest with himself, he knew that she would have done it anyway. He sat in the kitchen chair and talked with his brother. “She was set on it anyway, I think. I doubt there was anything you could have done to change her mind.”

He thought about the vibrant young girl and wondered how the others were taking it. “She was going to see Shelly. How is she taking it, and the others? Are they okay?”

He heard Holly coming down the stairs. He thought she’d felt his pain. He’d forgotten to hide it from her. Then he felt guilty. She’d known the girl too, and he knew she’d want to know. He pulled her into his lap and held her as Rolland continued.

“Shelly is taking it the hardest. I think the others knew it was only a matter of time. They’ve all filed charges against their maker. Even Lisa.” Rolland took a deep breath and Phil knew that whatever it was, he wasn’t going to be happy about it. His brother continued. “The rogue is claiming she is wrongly accused. Not that anyone believes her, but you know how they can be. The Trustees, I mean.”

“I know. Is…where is Anye?” Phil let Holly go when she stood and went to the fridge. He was momentarily distracted when she bent over into it. Christ, he was hard that fast.  He heard his brother speaking and realized that he’d lost his train of thought.

“Phil, are you listening? I said, where is she? I didn’t know you knew where they’d taken her. I don’t.”

“I thought that…. Jose Benson took her to the cells. He said he was going to take care of her.” He frowned, trying to think just what he’d said. “He said that he was going to kill her for her crimes.”

“I haven’t seen Jose for about a month now. I thought I’d heard…let me ask Mom.” Phil started pacing as he waited for his brother to come back. Something was off. And he was sure that Anye was as free as he was. “Jose left the Trustees about three months ago. Mom said he and some woman had taken up together and that no one knew who she was. If he took Anye—”

“Mother fuck,”
Phil shouted, and earned a raised brow from Holly. “She
is
free. Jose took her away and lied to me. When I get my hands on that bastard, I’m going to skin them both alive.” He hung up with his brother and reached out to the other Trustees. There were supposed to be five of them, making it so that there was an uneven spread across the system. The first person he was able to contact confirmed what his brother had said.

“Yes. We never did figure it out. It would have been easier if we didn’t have the hard set rule about taking the blood of each other. But Jose left some time ago. I’m not sure where he was headed; he’d mentioned that he wanted to go somewhere where it wasn’t dark.” The Trustee laughed. “Why he’d want to go where the sun was always shining was beyond me.”

After thanking her he sat down again. Holly setting a plate of breakfast in front of him made him look up at her. There were ten slices of bacon, five sausage links, and a pile of fried ham. There were at least a dozen eggs and a half pound of fried potatoes. She had a plate in front of her filled just as full. There was a plate of toast and a crock of butter set down next. He had a fleeting thought that one of her brothers was coming to eat with them, or possibly all of them.

“Will I be able to feed you all the time?” he asked as she tucked into her food. Her laughter was what he’d hoped for. “I meant to come down and fix this for you. I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be. I had fun and I know you were working something out.” She handed him a glass of milk. “I have to go to the office today. I have to figure out what’s going on.”

He started eating and stopped when she mentioned her office. She wasn’t going in alone and he told her so.

“I know that. In fact, I was counting on you going with me. Also, you need to be aware that…well, I’m thinking about quitting.” He looked at her. Surely she couldn’t be….

When she started laughing, Phil stood up, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her.

He picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He wanted her again and right now. Swiping his hand over the table and clearing it of the remnants of their breakfast, he laid her on it. He was glad now that he’d not taken the time to put on a shirt, especially since she was wearing it and nothing else.

“I need my dessert. And you’re just the thing I need.” He pulled the chair around, set it between her legs, and sat down. “Perfect. Just perfect.”

Pulling her forward, he lifted her thighs so that they lay over his shoulders. He was going to feast on her and he didn’t want anything to get in his way. He reached up her thighs and tore her panties from her.

“You should know that I love tearing these things from you. I think you’ll need to start buying in bulk. That way we won’t have to worry about how many we shred.” He licked her inner thigh and kissed her knee. “Of course, you could go without them. I’m not sure how practical that would be when you are wearing pants, but for me, it would save time.”

“You are talking entirely too much. Shut up and eat me or let me suck you.” He grinned when she growled. “I mean it, Phil.”

He leaned into her and licked her from gate to clit. Christ, she tasted delicious. He took another lick at her before he pulled her closer to him, slid his finger into her, and pulled her nubbin into his mouth. She was so tight and wet that he didn’t have any trouble fucking her like this. When she began riding his mouth, lifting her ass up to meet him, he inserted another finger into her heat and started fucking her with his tongue too.

You have no idea how delicious you taste to me. When you come, and you will, I’m going to drink your nectar and then I’m going to ram my cock deep into this hot, sweet pussy.
Her climax rolled over him. He took as much of her cream into his mouth as he could before he slid his fingers out and into her ass.
Tight. Soon I’m going to take you here and when I do, I’m going to pink up this beauty before I fill you with my cum.

He stood up when she came again. He tore his pants open and rubbed his thick cock over her opening, not touching her clitoris. Her begging made him pause, more because he didn’t want to come all over her than that he wanted to prolong this. Finally, he moved just the thick head into her.

“Please. I’m begging you, please fill me. Phil, please.” Slowly, he entered her and every inch he moved, he could feel her walls grab him, stroke him, until he knew it was only a matter of time before he exploded in her.

Moving with care and trying his best not to slam into her like he wanted, he opened her legs wider and looked down at them. She was soaking him. Not only that, but his cock glistened with her juices, and they ran down and pooled on the table beneath her. Taking several deep breaths as he moved even slower, he watched how her pussy fit around him, how with each inward movement she seemed to suck him in. He moved deeper still, until he was fully in her to his balls. He stopped moving.

She sat up, her eyes dazed and dark. He knew that he loved her, had for a long time, but seeing her like this, spread beneath him naked, he fell in love with her more.

“I love you, Holly Force Campbell. I’ve never loved anyone, nor will I ever love anyone, as much as I do you right now.” She sat up on her elbows and looked at him. “You’ve no idea how long I’ve waited for you. You’ve no idea…I need you more than my next breath.”

She sat up and he lifted her so that she was wrapped around him again. When he turned and sat in the chair, she settled over his cock by wrapping her legs around the back of the chair and held him to her. Lifting her breast, she fed it to him.

“Drink from me here. I want to feel you suckle my breast and drink.” Her voice was deep, husky, and full of emotion. When she pulled him closer to her as he took her nipple into his mouth, she begged again for him to bite. He sank his fangs deep.

She screamed out her release. He felt her move up and down over his hips in a frenzied movement. He felt his balls tighten up and knew that he was going to come. Licking the wounds closed, he stood and took them both to the floor. Never letting go of her, he started slamming into her as soon as her back touched the tile.

When he came he knew that never had a release been so fulfilling. Never had he felt every drop of his cum pass through him and into someone else. His body still reeling, his climax grabbed him again and he felt another powerful one pour from him. He nuzzled her neck, feeling her do the same to him, and he bit her again as he heard her screaming against his skin. He was going to pass out, he thought. He was simply going to faint like a young girl.

He woke with a blanket over him. He had no idea how long he’d lain there, but he was sure it had only been seconds. But he knew as soon as he stood it had been longer. The dishes where cleaned up and the rest of the kitchen was just as clean. There was a note on the chalkboard near the refrigerator.

Hope you slept well. I tried to wake you several times and finally gave up. I’ve never known anyone to sleep so hard.

I had to go out. I’m meeting CJ at the mall. She wants to get out of the house and I need to get a handle on getting bulk panties ~ Christ, you’re hard on a girl’s clothes. Anyway, see you around three.

I love you,

Holly Campbell (Don’t you just love the way that sounds?)

He didn’t like her going out without him, but he had obviously needed the rest. It had been awhile since he’d slept so well and so long. Stretching, he went to the bathroom to grab a shower and change. Or in this case, dress. He gathered up the bits and pieces of his pants and went to shower.

Twenty minutes later he walked into the kitchen, and was surprised to find Austin at his back door with a woman he’d not seen in a while, Stacy O’Brien. She didn’t look all that thrilled to be there, and Phil understood why when she was followed in by Dallas. He wondered if the man had figured it out yet. But when he continued with a conversation they’d likely been having outside his house, he realized he hadn’t.

“There is no reason for you to get snippy with me. I’m just pointing out that you’d be better off if you stay out of a relationship with a wolf you’ve only known for a few months and keep yourself free. You’ve no idea what kind of person he is.”

“I will live where I want and with who I want. Just stay the fuck away from me and out of my business.” She grinned at Phil. “He thinks because I happen to come around and help CJ out that he has some sort of power over me. He’s just an ass as far as I’m concerned.”

Phil liked the wolf. He knew from CJ and Alexis that she’d had some hard times, but she seemed to be stronger for them. When he turned to Austin, the man was dipping into his refrigerator like he owned it. He flushed when he turned to Phil with a beer in his hand.

“CJ won’t let me have any in the house. She said that the babies might get into them by mistake.” He took a long pull on the dark brew. “I have no idea how they’re going to manage that since they’re only two weeks old. But I love her and let her have her way. For now. I’m supposed to meet her here in half an hour.”

As he sat down Phil got another beer for Stacy and sat with them. Dallas declined, but got himself a glass of tea instead.

It was nearly four o’clock and Phil was starved. Standing again, he pulled ten steaks out of the freezer and told Dallas to get the potatoes.

“I take it you guys won’t mind staying for dinner?” That question met with hearty approval, so he had Stacy pull out stuff for a salad.

“We won’t eat it, so unless you want me to simply cut up some of this green crap and put it on a plate for you, I’m not going to waste my time.” Phil handed her a knife and told her to cut. “Your food.”

He knew that CJ ate salad and he could stomach it if necessary, but he didn’t tell the bitch that. He grinned when he thought about her being a bitch and wondered how many other species named their females such an appropriate name.

He was just looking at his watch when his and Austin’s cell phones went off. He knew the moment that Austin fell into the chair that something horrible had happened. He answered his own phone, knowing that his mate wasn’t at the other end.

“They took her. Right out from the changing booth.” CJ was talking calmly, but he knew she was on edge. “Come here with me before I have to kill this stupid cop. And for the love of Peter, bring Dallas. This moron has it in his head that she’s run away and she’ll turn up when she’s good and ready.” Phil leaned against the counter and took a deep breath. CJ was still talking. “—at the north entrance near the food court. Are you still there?”

“Yes. Yes, I’m still here. I’m going to meet you at the north entrance. Are you standing there now?” She confirmed that she was. “Don’t move. I have you and I don’t want to bump into anyone else when I get there.”

“Phil, I’m so sorry. This was my idea. I needed to get out and I don’t have any female friends and I just—”
