Jason's Salvation (4 page)

“Then who?” Eve asked.

“Not a cat. I know she probably did have someone on that side. Hell, I wouldn’t doubt she had a bear, too. But, at the heart of this was that she thought she had been wronged by the Dillons. For that she killed our uncle and tried to kill Eve. For what reason?”

“We all know the story.”

“Yes, we do, but we don’t know what she was doing after she left here. And why did she think she had a right to be Alpha bitch now? It went beyond being pissed about what happened years ago. There was something else, maybe someone else here, for her to fight for. It has to be someone in the group, someone we don’t even detect yet.”

They all looked around the table.

“I doubt very much it is one of the Dillons,” Vic said.

Eve rolled her eyes. “The only person she would trust would be Shane, and he would have never turned on the pack. It has to be someone within the organization, someone she got into the pack organizations without us knowing.”

He couldn’t stop the way his heart turned over when she lumped herself with the wolves. From the looks the other shifters gave them, he knew they understood the significance of that.

She opened her mouth, then shut it as if she didn’t have a right to talk.

“Go on,” he urged.

She tossed him a look filled with gratitude. It was hard not to feel for their mate. She had never really had anyone she cared about listen to her opinions.

“I think you need to do this more logically. Go back through all the people who have returned to the pack or moved here in the last few years. I would go back at least five years. Especially anyone who might have some connection to Marianna.”

Jason bit back a chuckle. Every time she said the woman’s name, he was surprised she didn’t spit.

“I think that we need to do that with all our packs, especially those who came up in the pack fast and furious. If you have been challenged, whether officially or not, make sure you make note of the person who did it,” Noah said. “We need to know everything. Every little piece of dirty laundry behind the scenes.”

The growls started again, but this time it was Eve who cut them off.

“Think, please. We know that the shifter in charge is a wolf. Noah said it was the only way he could get around the Dillons without being detected. He seems to know just a little too much about us, too. But if we can find out who the bastard is working with, we might be able to link him with the leader.”

Just then, the door opened, and Ethan came stomping in with a nasty look on his face. Jason didn’t sense that his cousin was upset over an incident. It was that same feeling they all had for Eve. With so many different shifters on their land, in their living space, it brought the wolf to full force.

He strode down behind the others and then stood behind Eve. For her part, she rolled her eyes.

“Move back, Ethan.”

He gave her a look that Jason knew would have had the woman they met a year ago looking down. Now though she gave him a nasty stare of her own. “I need to help out in the kitchen since you idiots are going to sit here and grunt and argue.”

He did as she ordered, and Jason heard the chuckles around the table. “Come on, Ethan, we’ll need your help in the kitchen.”

She stood, and like the good mate that he was, Ethan followed and ignored any comments from the other shifters. Although, there weren’t as many as Jason thought there would be.

“Jesus, I don’t ever want to deal with a mate that strong,” Vic said.

“You might want one that strong. You don’t want a weakling, and sad to say, you won’t have a choice in it,” Noah said.

“Now, let’s talk about the people who came in the last few years, and then we can eat some of that food I smell,” Shane said.

Eve was humming when she slipped into the tub that night. The men were still all discussing the issue. She gave them her opinions, and she knew at least Noah and Ethan took them seriously. She wasn’t in the mood for all the growling and grunting, so she had left.

Coming from a family that never argued, it was hard to get accustomed to the way of the shifters. They were too reactionary for one thing. Well, to a point. They all had some kind of control to keep the animal side of them beneath the surface. Still, she had the feeling that if she wasn’t in the vicinity, they would end up fighting like a bunch of teenage boys. They needed to learn to get along with each other if they were going to be able to fight together.

“I hope that frown isn’t for me,” Ethan said. She opened her eyes and found him sitting on the edge of the tub. All of them were such huge men, but sometimes they would sneak up on her like now. It wasn’t that often anymore because she seemed to have some kind of sixth sense when they were around. But she had been preoccupied.

“It’s for all of you really. Seriously, do you have to act like thirteen-year-olds every time you meet with the other shifters?”

His lips curved as he trailed a finger in the scented bathwater. “It’s a male thing.”

“Yes, but I think it’s more of a shifter thing. Most men I knew before coming here could behave better than you do.”

“Most of the men you knew before coming here were probably intimidated by you.”

She studied him for a moment. Any other man, she would think that he was trying to charm her. But one thing she knew about the Dillons was that they gave compliments, but they didn’t do it to get her into bed. First, they didn’t need to do that. Second, they used another kind of charm to get her there.

He must have realized she was looking at him, so he looked up at her. “What?”

“I have to say most men just are not like the shifters of Passion.”

He smiled, but before he could say anything, Jason cleared his throat. She looked up and found both he and Noah watching the scene. A few months ago she would have been embarrassed. Okay, so she was still a little embarrassed, but now she had a little bit more of a feel for the cousins.

“Are you going to spend all night in that tub?” Noah asked.

“I might, if I want to.”

He let one eyebrow rise. “Is that so?”

Oh, he was such a Dom and Alpha. That look said so much and she had to fight not to laugh. She was still irritated with them all, but she could never resist them. Her need for them increased each day. She was afraid she would never be able to leave when her time ended.

She pushed those thoughts aside. She didn’t want to think about that. Not when they were looking at her as if she were the meal they had been craving for days.

“Ethan, it’s time for Eve to get out of the tub,” Noah said as he turned back into the bedroom.

She just stared at his retreating back and then smacked her palm against the water. “Does he think you are just going to—hey!” she shouted as Ethan reached in and pulled her up out of the water. He was still dressed, but apparently he didn’t care. He pulled her body against his as he took her mouth in a hot, wet kiss.

Ethan set her on the bathroom counter as she wrapped her legs around him. It didn’t take much, just a kiss and her body was yearning, screaming to be taken by them. It was something that bothered her when she had time to think about it, but right now, she didn’t give a damn. All she wanted was to be touched, tasted, and taken. The low pulse of lust was beating through her blood.

Ethan pulled back. She frowned and opened her eyes to find Jason taking his place. He was already naked, and Ethan was pulling off his clothes as he walked into the bedroom. She looked at Jason, and his smile had her heart melting. God, he was so sweet, and sexy, and she couldn’t even think when he looked at her like that.

He set his hands on the counter on each side of her and leaned closer for a kiss. He didn’t close his eyes as he nibbled on her bottom lip, teasing her with each nip. She was already burning for him, needing him, and he was just taking his time to drive her insane. Jason was always the one who liked to do that. He loved to play in bed, and she had missed that from him the last few weeks.

He squatted down in front of her, laying his hands on the insides of her thighs. He pushed them apart and then set his mouth on her cunt. She slipped her hands through Jason’s hair as he thrust his tongue into her over and over, teasing her clit, moaning against her. The tiny vibrations feathered over her skin. Tension gathered in her stomach, then dropped to her pussy. With just one more thrust of his tongue she knew she would come.

But he drew back and stood up.

“You sure are tasty, Eve,” he said. The smile on his face and the tone of his voice made her heart do a little dance. It was so wonderful to hear it.

She smiled and slipped her hand down between them. Wrapping it around his cock, she started to stroke him. A groan slipped from his mouth, and she smiled as she leaned away from him.

“You want to mess with me, Jason, I am going to mess right back.”

She kept stroking him. His erection grew and she clenched her pussy. Her legs were far apart, and she couldn’t squeeze them together for comfort. She was so damned close to coming, and being in this position tortured her even more.

Jason’s eyes closed and he released a long breath. “Eve.”

“Hmmm?”

She stroked him a few more times before Noah stopped her.

“Bring her in here, Jason.”

Eve glanced at the doorway and found him watching her. He was smiling, but she could see the heat in his eyes. It still amazed her that none of them had a problem with her being with one of the others, but apparently, it was even more of a turn-on.

Jason gave her a quick kiss, then picked her up off the counter, and carried her in his arms into the bedroom. Ethan was waiting there beside Noah.

“Put her on the bed, Jason.”

He did as ordered.

“No, naughty Eve, on your stomach. “

Heat unfurled within her as she did as ordered. He pulled her to the edge of the bed, so that she lay across the mattress and her head was right on the edge.

“Jason, I think she was pretty naughty teasing you like that, so she needs to fulfill that promise.”

Jason tossed his cousin a smile and then walked to the bed, his hand stroking his cock.

“Open up, babe.”

She licked her lips as she pulled herself up to her elbows. Most women would probably be disgusted that they talked to her like that, but it turned her on. There was something about it that had her pussy dripping with need.

She took the head into her mouth, swirling her tongue around the very tip. His head fell back and he groaned again. The bit of pre-cum whispered over her taste buds, and she moaned against his cock. She knew Jason could feel the vibrations of it against the shaft. But, just as she was getting into it, she felt the first slap against her ass.

The heat of the smack feathered out over her skin, and the second she could feel in her cunt. Her clit was throbbing, her pussy so wet already, she felt as if she would come right then and there.

Then, she felt someone move her hair to the side and the soft kiss on her back. She knew without turning around it was Ethan. She wrapped a hand around the base of Jason’s cock and gave in to the pleasure she could share with him. Noah’s smacks started to burn, but in the way she loved. The pain metamorphosed into pleasure as the heat of it spread throughout her body. Need built. The need to be taken, fast and hard, had her pushing Jason closer to his orgasm. She was so enthusiastic in her ministrations that the head of his penis hit the back of her throat several times. She didn’t give a damn. She wanted to taste cum, feel it sliding down her throat. Just the thought of that had her own orgasm shimmering closer.

Then the spanking stopped. Noah rubbed his big hand over her ass.

“You always get so delightfully pink after a spanking,” he said. She barely heard him, but she felt both he and Ethan kissing her ass cheeks then. The cool feel of their tongues against her hot skin had her shivering with even more
need
. Jason was now moving with her, his fingers slipping through her hair to mold to the back of her head.

“That’s enough,” Noah said. Jason pulled back away from her. She almost followed him, but Noah gave her no time. His hand wrapped around her waist and pulled her up to him.

“You are going to take us all,” he said, his voice wrapping around her, pulling at things inside her soul she didn’t understand. The desire she had for all the cousins was growing each day. And now, she had three of them. Her body was already getting ready to be taken. To mate. She wanted them to use her in ways that just months ago would have shocked her. Now, she could not seem to think of anything else other than to fuck them.

She didn’t know why that thought came to her mind, but she knew it without a doubt. Her body thought of this as mating. A primal need that she could not deny, nor did she want to.

He lay down on the bed and then pulled her over him. “Take me in, now.”

He bit out every word, and the fact that he wanted her so badly sent a jolt of satisfaction through her.

She straddled his hips and slowly sank down on his cock. It wasn’t easy even though she was dripping with her need for the three of them. God, nothing felt as good as having him inside of her. His fingers dug into her skin.
