Her Billionaire Werewolf Stepbrother (7 page)

“Manhattan sir.” I nod.

“Michael,” I say when he answers.
Jocelyn gets in the elevator and the doors slide closed. “Jocelyn needs a ride
to the airfield, get her there.” I end the call and dial my pilot. “Baker, I
need a flight to New York City.”

“Yes sir, I will ready the jet.”

“One passenger, Jocelyn Davidson
will be flying. I’ll need a car to transport her to the hospital when she
lands.”

“I will take care of it sir. Will
that be all?”

“That’s all.” I end the call.

“What’s going on?” Jane asks. I
turn around to find her with wet hair and wrapped up in my robe.

“Jocelyn’s sister is ill, I’m
having her flown to New York.” She doesn’t need to hear about the break in.
They think they’ve gotten off easy but I’m not finished yet. “I need to take
care of some things, can you entertain yourself for an hour?” She nods. “I’ll
be back. You should eat.” I know she’s hungry, I’m starving. I wrap her in a
hug and kiss her temple. I peek down the front of her robe and see the ivory
silk beneath it. “You’re alone in the apartment but don’t forget the cameras.” I
say into her hair when I kiss the top of her head. She nods then leans up and
kisses my mouth. It’s too much. I want to swallow her whole. I push her back
against a nearby wall out of the cameras view and crush her mouth with mine.

My hands find their way inside the
robe and smooth over the silk. I look down at her. Her face is flushed and her
chest heaving almost as deeply as mine. I unzip my jeans and free myself then
lift her so her legs wrap around my hips. I push the panties aside and thrust
into her. She cries out something that almost sounds like my name. I bury
myself balls deep and lick my way from her throat to her ear. She whimpers.
That’s right baby, take all of me.

“Fuck. Jane.” I grunt, I’m going to
come. It’s too much. The run, the wolf, the silk, the heat of her. Fire spikes
through me and my balls tighten. Jane is clenching madly around me and
screaming my name. Thank God the surveillance doesn’t have audio. Shit she’s
coming and coming, I can’t hold off any longer and I shoot my load deep into
her. Jane isn’t in heat so there’s no chance of my pups growing there this
time. I don’t know if I can wait for a year to put them there. She’s as limp as
a dishrag. I give her a moment to come out of it. I make a mental note to put a
table here for future use. Foyer sex is a new added favorite on my list. Jane
sighs.

“How are you?” I murmur against her
hair.

“Okay.” She says softly.

“I’m going to put you down.” She
nods against my neck. I pull my tee shirt off and wipe between her legs. That’s
bound to be uncomfortable. I straighten her robe and tie it again. She gives me
a little smile. “That’s the best part of letting her out, the sex afterward is
always exciting.” I say and I see hurt flash behind her eyes. She’s imagining
me with others. “I can’t change the past.” She looks down at the belt and nods.

I zip my pants and toss the tee
shirt over one shoulder. I take her hand and lead her to the bedroom. “Rest.
I’m going to take care of something then I’ll be back.” She’s already curling
up on the bed. I kiss her cheek and she smiles. Good. I grab a quick shower and
change into a pair of gray dress slacks and a button down. I go to the stairs
and descend to employee quarters. Marlowe is coming out of his apartment with a
duffle bag.

“I’m sorry sir. I fucked up.” He
sticks out his hand and I shake it.

“Good luck in the future Marlowe.”
I say and move past him to the surveillance room. This room houses cameras for
my private rooms and offices but I can access any of the camera feeds in the
building. Dan is reviewing tape while Michael is watching it live.

“Anything?” I ask. Dan is following
her from camera to camera until she disappears into the lobby bathroom. “Who is
she?”

“I don’t know. She keeps her face
hidden from the camera. I don’t know what she was after either. She came off
the elevator while Jocelyn was scrubbing the foyer so she didn’t get very far.
She darts back into the elevator before Jocelyn can stand and she goes down
four floors then gets off and heads for the fire stairs. She took the stairs
down to software then rode the guest elevator the rest of the way. I’m still
reviewing the lobby footage but she hasn’t come out. Michael?”

“Nothing yet.” I pull my phone from
my pants and dial the building security. Within seconds I have two female
guards hustling into the ladies bathroom then I get a call back.

“It’s empty.” The blonde says into
my phone. I see her come back out of the bathroom into the lobby. She’s looking
up into the camera that Michael has trained on the ladies room. I mutter a
thanks and disconnect.

“I’m live.” Dan says. “She never
came out.” I look at screen.

“With me.” I say. Dan pops up from
his chair and follows.

“Stay on the cameras Mike.” I hear
him say ‘yep’ as I stride to the elevator. I stop just as my finger reaches.

“Have you dusted this for prints?”
Dan nods.

“Only yours. She wore gloves. She
hid her face entering and exiting too.” I tap in the code and we go down to the
lobby. The security team on duty behind the desk jumps up. I motion to the
blonde and she hurries over.

“Check the room again, if anyone is
in there, send them out.” She goes in and comes right back out.

“Still empty.” She stands aside and
I go in to look for myself. I open each stall door. Nothing. In the last stall
there is an air vent behind the door. I look at it. The screws have been
unfastened and refastened. I point at the small curls of paint on the floor and
Dan nods. He pulls a screwdriver from his pocket and makes quick work of them.
He looks inside and finds smudges in the dust.

“This is where she exited.” He says
from inside. “It splits in about ten feet.” Dan scoots out and thinks for a
moment. He pulls out his cell and dials. “Mike watch the feed on the men’s
room. I think she went out there.” The men’s room was on the other side of the
security area. She would’ve have passed through the wall behind the
unsuspecting fools. We check the men’s room and it is empty too. Dan and I go
back to the elevator. I don’t have time for this crap. Jane is upstairs in that
bustier and I haven’t fully enjoyed the view yet. Dan’s phone chirps and he
looks at it. “He has her.”

“He has her on tape?” Dan nods.
“Who is she?”

“He has her exiting the men’s room
dressed as a man, he’s sure. No one went in but she came out. She was dressed
as a man in a utility worker’s uniform. Nobody pays attention to blue collar.”
They will now. They will pay attention to everyone entering the building. I
make a mental note to install cameras that are lower, at normal height, where
you can’t hide your face. We go up and he gets off at his floor.

 I don’t understand the reasoning.
Why not just walk out the front door? Why make a detour through the bathroom?
It doesn’t make sense. Did she think that we wouldn’t figure it out?

“Thank Mike for me. Review earlier
footage. She had to come into the building at some point.” Dan nods as the
doors close. I have to change all of the damn codes now without Jane
suspecting. I never want her to feel unsafe in my house.

Jake is sitting on the bed beside
where I’m curled up. He’s watching a video of a woman on an elevator. She’s
small and has short blonde hair. Who is this woman? He keeps scrolling back and
forth looking at her from all angles. Is this someone he would rather be with?
She’s everything that I’m not. She’s dainty and pixie like. She makes me feel
like a huge nasty ogre. He closes the lid and I look up at him watching me.
“Girlfriend?” I say sharply.

“Uninvited guest. She broke into
the building today and she got away before we could get a clear picture of her.
I’m going to change all of the building codes as a precaution. She was probably
trying to steal software but just to be safe, I think we should change them.
How does your mom’s birthday sound?” I nod, then shake my head. “Mine? Nah, too
obvious. How about Dad’s?”

“Jake, I can remember a six digit
code. Just make up a number. He thinks then says 38, 32, and 36. He grins. He
thinks he’s cute. I know those are probably whatever the personal shopper said
my measurements were. Whatever. I nod and don’t say anything else.

“Are you cold?”

“No.”

“Take off the robe. I want to see
you in that.”

“You’ve seen me.” I flush at the
memory of what happened in the foyer. I wanted it too but now thinking back,
anyone could’ve walked in. The woman that greeted me at the elevator for
instance. “Where did Jocelyn go?”

“She’s flying to New York, her
sister is ill. We’re all alone.” He lays the laptop on the night table and
slides down beside me. “I’ve been thinking about you in that all day.” I feel
my face go hot. “You were supposed to give me a fashion show today. Remember?
I’ll settle for seeing you in the one that I picked out.”

“You chose this?” He nods and gives
me a lopsided grin. “Ok.” I whisper. I stand up beside the bed and unfasten the
belt of my robe. He’s propped his head up on his hand and he’s watching. His
eyes are amber. I take the robe off and toss it on a chair. When I turn back
he’s in front of me. God he can move fast.

He’s staring down at me and
unbuttoning his shirt. All of the muscles in my core clench down sweetly. He
wants me. He’s coming out of his pants now and I watch. It’s like he’s
unwrapping my Christmas present. Jake looks really good naked. He could be the
poster child for nudity.

He strips the tiny thong panties
from me. He’s squatting down to help me out of them like I’ve never taken my
own clothes off. He buries his face in my curls and inhales. I try to step away
because I’m embarrassed but his hand is on my thigh. He licks up my cleft and
slowly drags his tongue over my clit. My hands fist and my eyes slide closed.
He kisses my mound and eases my foot out of the panties.  I step out of them
and he stands.

“You look so good in this. I knew
you would.” I run my fingers up his abdomen to his chest. Jake grabs my hand
and spins me around. My back is to his front. I can feel his hot hard length
against my bottom.  My toes curl into the carpet. I want him like this. He
hooks his arm around my middle and he lifts me. Jake turns easily and I’m
facing the bed. “I want you like this. Do you want to stand or do you want to
be on all fours.” I climb up on the bed and he pulls me back to the edge. “I
want to stand.” The blunt tip of his erection is against my opening. “I’m not
going to be gentle Jane.” He growls.

“Good.” I look back at him and he
slams himself into me. It takes my breath away for a second, the force and the
feeling. It’s incredible. Jake pulls out to the edge and does it again. I moan.
When he does it a third time I clench down on him. I’m gripping him all the way
in then back out again. He mutters something that I don’t understand but it
doesn’t matter because I just want him to keep going. I feel his fingers biting
into my hip and I know there will be a bruise but I don’t care about that
either. He shifts angles and I nearly fly apart.

“You’re going to think about me
every time you move tomorrow.” He says and it makes me feel so wanton. I want
to feel that.

“Yes.” I scream. “Please.” I push
back against him and clench down hard. He roars his release and I go with him.
The climax ebbs and flows over me like an ocean in a storm. I needed this. I
needed to feel like a she-wolf. I needed to be taken like a she-wolf. I feel
her, she’s close and she’s happy. She’s been taken by her alpha. I’m happy
about that too. Jake pulls me upright but he’s still inside of me. I can feel
him softening though. He unfastens the bustier and tosses it to the chair. He
still has his arm hooked around me. I am
his
.

He felt this when he had me the
first time but I didn’t, not really. I needed to feel his possession of me, of
her.  I didn’t feel it until he took me like the wolf. I turn and wrap my arms
around his neck. “I love you.” I say then kiss his chest. He lifts me and puts
me on the bed after he flips the comforter out of the way. I realize that this
bed has been remade and I hide my face.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Your house keeper changed the
sheets.” Jake shrugs. “That means she saw the evidence.” He grins then and
kisses me.

“She knows you aren’t just some
random slut.” I think about that. “Now what? I see the wheels turning.”

“Have there been a lot of them?
Random sluts?” Jake was very busy when he was at home. Sometimes there was more
than one in a day. This bed should probably be replaced if he’s still like
that.

“No.” I study his eyes looking for
the lie. “There haven’t been and never in this bed. This bed was always meant
for you. I’m not going to tell you I haven’t fucked anyone since the semester
that I spent at home. I won’t lie to you, ever. I’ve been with random women but
there haven’t been a lot and none of them were ever here.”

“How many?” I whisper. He scoffs.

“Since I lived in your house?” I
nod. He thinks about it. “A few.” I raise my eyebrow. “Seven.”

“How many altogether?” He shrugs.
Too many to count. I nibble my lip. He can’t change his past and he can’t take
it back. He waited to have me so I could have the education that I wanted.
“Were any of them serious?” He makes a face.

“Hell no. You have always been my
future Jane. They were just somewhere to drop an urgent load. That’s all. A
receptacle.” Eww. It sounds so gross like that. I’m a receptacle. “Stop over
thinking it. I wanted to spend my life with you. You are my mate. I want to put
my pups in here.” He traces a finger over my belly and I shiver. “You are the
mother of my children Jane. You could never be compared in any way to any of
those women.”

“Did they know that?” I can’t help
but ask. He shrugs again. I think it was unfair just to use them as a
receptacle then toss them to the wind. “Were they just women or were they
professionals?

“I’ve never paid for sex, not as a
transaction. They were all willing participants. Whether or not they had
further expectations, I couldn’t say, but I never had any. They were all one
timers except one that I did twice in the same night. Her request.” I scrunch
up my nose. “Enough of that. How many boys have you been with?” He’s teasing
me.

“None. You know that.” I look away
and he draws my chin back up with his finger.

“So you’ve never been felt up at a
party or kissed in the closet for seven minutes of heaven?” He grins again when
my face gets hot. “Ha, who was he? Was he wolf?” I shake my head. “Tell me.” I
know I have to tell him, he told me his secrets. He also said that he doesn’t
want to beg for answers. I decide just to give him what he wants.

“Luke Daniels, he was in my psyche
class and we met up at a frat party. He was really cute and he kissed me when
he walked me home. He came inside my room and pushed me against a wall. Jake’s
eyes were amber now. I got rid of him. He didn’t try to force me. I just think
he thought that I was more into him than I was.” Jake nods. “There was the guy
in the pool last summer. He shoved his tongue down my throat on a dare.” Jake
growled and I giggled.

“So you never wanted to fuck
anyone?”

“I didn’t say that, I did, but it
just felt wrong.”

“Me.” I nod. He grins. “As far as
the world is concerned Jane, we aren’t related. Our parents lived together,
that’s all. To the humans, they would expect them to be married for us to be
related.”

“That’s bullshit Jake. People are weird
about this kind of thing and I don’t want to live in shame.” He puts his finger
over my lips.

“We’ll wait a year. I want to fill
you with pups right now but we’ll wait. In the meantime you’re my personal assistant.
That will explain your access to my life for anyone who wants to question it.
We need to eat.” My stomach growls on cue. “Get dressed then come to the
kitchen.” I go to my closet. I don’t like that I have to go into the hallway to
get to it. I’m looking at the wall and trying to figure out where that would
end up in the bedroom if I cut a hole in the drywall. “What are you doing?”
Jake says from behind me.

“I wondered if I cut a hole there,
where would I be in the bedroom?” He cocks his head then shakes it.

“You want a door from the bedroom
into here?”

“It’s okay.” I say and go to my set
of drawers.

“Jane, put on something that I
bought. Please?” He smiles softly and I move away from my drawers. I find a pair
of jeans that probably cost more than Mom’s car and a white silk pullover. Jake
nods and moves away from the door. This is too fancy just to eat lunch in. I
shake my head and go to find panties and a bra. That shopper needs to discover
Wally World. I could outfit myself for a year with the money that she spent on
this outfit alone. I pull the clothes on and wonder if I should eat in front of
him. He make me feel so self-conscious sometimes. I decide that I will have to
get used to eating in front of him. We will be together for the next millennia.
I am bound to get hungry.

 I’m heading down the hall and I
see the door to the office is cracked. Jake is inside on the phone. I hear him
talking and I stop outside the door. “Find her. I don’t care what it takes.
Hack the surrounding buildings security and find her.” Jake is angry. “I want to
know how she got the codes and I want to know why she was trying to break into
my apartment.” I startle. She was trying to get in here? Why? Who is she? Is
she an old girlfriend? A stalker? I cover my mouth with my hand. It’s
trembling. Someone is trying to hurt Jake. My backbone stiffens. Someone is
trying to harm my mate. My wolf pushes. She’s pissed. Let her come. The thought
drifts over my mind and I know it isn’t mine. Let her come. 

I go to the kitchen and start
putting sandwiches together. Jake joins me a few minutes later. I have his
piled high with meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion. This was how he liked
it when he lived with me. If he doesn’t anymore, he’ll have to tell me. I put
it in front of him. I drip mustard across my bread and put some turkey on it,
no cheese and no veg. “My security team says you were standing outside my
office listening to my conversation.” Jake takes a bite and grunts with
satisfaction. His sandwich preferences haven’t changed. I nod. He raises his
eyebrow and I put the mayonnaise and mustard back in the fridge. “What did you
hear?” He asks.

“That a woman, probably the woman
in the video was trying to break into the apartment. You want her found and you
want to know why. My wolf thinks you should let her break in when the cameras
are off.” I bite into my sandwich. The turkey is good, there’s black pepper
around the edges. I wonder if Jocelyn made this or bought it. I decide it’s
store bought and my new favorite.

“What would happen if I let her?”
Jake is being coy. He knows exactly what my wolf would do to her.

“She’d die.” I say smoothly. The
corner of his mouth lifts.

“Jane you can’t just kill people.
You have to have a plan, like what to do with the body and make up an alibi. Oh
and you would have to have a vicious animal to put at the scene.” He chuckles.

“No problem. I always wanted a dog.
Mom said it was stupid but I still wanted one.”

“You realize if you blame a dog for
an animal attack, they’ll put it down. Right?”

“What if he’s a guard dog? It’s his
job to kill trespassers.” Jake thinks about it but doesn’t say anything.

I go to the cabinet and look for
chips. I open each door to disappointment. “Over there in the closet.” I go to
where he is pointing. I thought there would be brooms in here because it’s tall
but it’s full of dry goods. Chips are front and center but the bag of cheese
curls wins my heart. “I bought those for you.” He smiles. “I know how you like
to sink your teeth into them and suck the air out. I laugh. He still remembers
stupid stuff like that. “I swear your teeth were orange the whole six months I
was there.” I stick one in my mouth and do exactly what he described. Yes, I
still like eating them that way. I take my plate and sit at the table. Jake
follows me. He doesn’t have much of a sandwich left and once he’s put the plate
down he goes back for what I left on the counter. He brings the makings of
another sandwich with him then goes back for the mustard.

“We should probably be eating steak
or something.” I think out loud.

“Dinner.” Jake piles meat and
cheese on his sandwich. He slices a tomato so thin that I can see through it,
the onion follows. “Less salad, more meat.” He winks at me. He is hungry. I
should’ve made the steak in the fridge but I really wanted this turkey. “On
Monday, we will go into the office very early. I want you to be in place when
the rest of the staff arrives.” I nod and finish my sandwich. “You are my new
assistant. We have a meeting at nine with a company that wants to merge. I plan
to absorb them, nothing less. Try to keep your faces to yourself.” I make one
and stick out my tongue. “That one especially.” He bites and chews then
swallows. “You are to simply observe and take notes. I have the office tapped
but I am the only one with access to the recording. You will too.” I look down
at my plate and push the crumbs into a little pile. “What’s wrong?” He’s
watching me. I really do need to learn how to keep my thoughts from making
expressions. I was always lousy at poker.
