Red Satin Lips (17 page)

Lars knelt before the chair she sat in and laid his head on her lap. “I’ve hurt you again, and it was the last thing I wanted to do. Words flew out of my mouth. You know I don’t hold you accountable for what your father has done. Or those that are you siblings.” He wrapped his arms around her legs, holding her tight.

“I’m afraid, we both are. What if these two hurt you?” Lars looked up and stared into her face.

“You and Gage will be there, plus my new security team. I’m not asking to do it alone, hell, even, Maxim could be there too, but right now you need to go visit your folks.” She reached over and cupped his cheek.

“Go Lars, go make sure your family is okay. I’ll stay here. I won’t go anywhere. I don’t know if your mom wants to hear this coming from me, but tell her I’m sorry and I wish things could have been different. She’s an amazing lady.”

“I can’t leave, plus what they did…” He shook his head and stood.

“Lars, they’re hurting too. Your dad just lost his mother. It will take you, what, an hour? In the meantime, Gage can help me with that hot bath,” she said standing and hugging him. “I love you Lars and I’m not going anywhere. Just because your family is leery of me right now, there is no sense in you closing them out of your life.” She reached up, framing his face. “Now, give me a kiss and go visit your folks.”

He wrapped his arm around her, and bent her backwards, staring into her face. “You are my life now. I’ll go but only for a few minutes, because I will be helping with that bath.” With his other hand, he cupped her breast. “This is all ours.” His lips covered hers in a passionate kiss.

Not only was he claiming her with his kiss, but Lars was making sure Tamara knew he’d be back. He snarled, breaking the kiss and handing her over to Gage. “I’ll be back soon. I love you both.” Lars kissed Gage quickly before vanishing out of the room

“Can’t my father get him when he does that?” She looked up at Gage who shook his head. “No, he has more of my blood in him, plus the beast in him wouldn’t allow anyone to take over. In some ways he’s as strong as your father. Lars just does not realize it.” He swung her up in his arms.

“I’m really sorry we hurt you earlier, baby, but the thought of...well, it’s going to be hard to have them in the same room with you.” He carried her out of the den and up the stairs toward their room.

“They’re just like me, Gage. I need to see them. I really believe the three of us will be able to come up with something.” She rested her head on his chest. “I’m sorry I took off like that. I just couldn’t stand having everyone stare at me and I am really tired.”

“You haven’t fed either. Feed from me, Tamara. I fed before coming back.” Stepping into their room, Gage sat down on the bed and opened his shirt. “Come on, feed.”

She licked the skin above his heart, before placing a kiss there. Gage’s chest was covered with thick dark hair and Tamara loved his chest. Both of her men had wide chests, abs that any woman would drool over, but Gage had a nice hairy chest while Lars’ was smooth.

Her fangs descended in her mouth, the smell of his blood calling her. Placing one more kiss, Tamara sank her fangs into him. His rich blood flowed into her, filling those empty starved cells in her body.

“You’re going to have to feed more now that you’re carrying our children. They’ll need our blood to help them grow inside you. With you carrying twins at least, it’s important not to skip your feeding.” Gage brushed her hair back and kissed the top of her head.

She sealed the holes and looked up at him. “Why does it feel like we’ve been going for days instead of hours? I just feel emotionally and physically tired. I want a hot bath, maybe some hot chocolate and a bed with you and Lars holding me.”

“Let’s get you in the tub first.” Gage picked her up and carried her to the bathroom and sat her down on the counter. “Stay there and let me get the water running.”

Stripping out of his shirt and shoes, Gage got the water going before adding her favorite bubbles. Both men always made sure Tamara had what she liked. Over the last six months, they had watched and noticed all the little things she liked.

“Why are you staring at me like that?” Gage turned and focused his attention on her, helping her strip out of the dress.

“Do all males of your kind take care of their mates like you two do? I mean you know what I want before I do sometimes. You always make sure my favorite bubble bath is there, my favorite shampoo. Hell, you even make sure I get white chocolate since I can’t drink the dark.”

He smiled, scooping her up in his arms. “Why would we get you something that makes you sick? And I know for a fact my father does the same things for my mom and so does Lars' father. She never feeds from anyone but him.” Gage laughed as he sat down in the water.

“Lars told me once his father wasn’t around and his mom needed to feed. So she proceed to call a human to her and all hell broke loose I guess. His father was furious. Needless to say she didn’t try it again.” Gage ran his hand over her ass. “Lars said he could hear his mother cussing him for the next twelve hours every time she tried to sit down.”

“And I’ll do the same for you too if I even think you are going to feed from anyone else but Gage and me,” Lars said, stripping out of his clothes and stepping into the tub.

She frowned. “You weren’t gone that long. Is everything okay?”

He reached under the water and took one of her feet in his hand, rubbing it. “Mom was sleeping and dad was trying to convince grandfather to stay with them, but he’s refusing. Your test results came back and they are as Maxim predicted.”

“But?” She knew it wasn’t good the way he glanced at Gage then to her.

“But, they would still rather you’d stay away. There is another thing. Your father wants you to call him and if you don’t, well…” Lars released her one foot and took the next. “He expects your call tonight.”

Taking the sponge, Gage soaped it up and begun to wash one arm. “She can call after we’re done with the bath, but for now both of you are just going to allow this nice hot water to take some of that tension out of you.”

“Like you don’t have any,” Tamara moaned as Lars’ hands moved up to her calf. “You know after all this is taken care of, I think I’m going to sleep for a week. Or veg out in front of the TV.” She sat up and looked back at Gage.

“You do have satellite TV, right? Because if I miss my
Walking Dead
show, I’m going to be royally pissed.” Both men burst out laughing as Gage pulled her back against his chest and kissed the top of her head.

“Yes, we have satellite TV so not to worry, Little Momma, you are all set,” he teased her and she smiled.

“Good, then you both can watch it with me tonight after we call dear old Daddy Dearest.”

With her skin pink and clean, Lars wrapped the towel around her, before picking her up and carrying her into the bedroom.

“I can walk, you know.” She snuggled against him and he just held her tighter. “I know you and your father had words and I’m sorry. I’d hope with the results, things would have changed. Maybe after things settle down they’ll change their mind. I’m sorry our children won’t be born on your family estate. I know how much that meant to your family. Seems I’m destroying every tradition your family has.” She looked up into his dark eyes as he laid her down on the bed.

He heard the hurt and sadness in her voice, but she continued fidgeting with the sheet under her. “Did you know in seventh grade the kids said I was bad luck to anyone who was around me for too long. Who knows, maybe they’re right. Look at what I did to your family in six months. Your brother is dead and so is your grandmother. Your ancestral home is gone and now our children will be born here away from your land, not to mention you can’t even bring me around your family.:

Sitting down next to her, Lars pulled the blanket over them and took her hand into his as Gage slipped in on the other side. “For one thing, you are not bad luck. You can’t help who your father is. As for my family, my brother’s path was well on its way before he even met you. My grandmother…You did nothing. This lies at your father’s feet. I found out tonight that my grandfather and your father had butted heads before so it’s not like this was new, this vendetta. The only thing that is new is who he is.” He handed her the phone and the number. “Call him so we can get this out of the way. Put it on speaker phone so all of us can hear it.”

With a trembling hand, Tamara picked up the phone as Maxim came into the room with hot chocolate. “I hope you don’t mind, but I wanted to be in here when you called. Gage asked me to come.”

She nodded, dialing the phone number and pushing the speaker phone button. “Hello, Little Girl and whoever is listening to this call.”

“What do you want, Michael? Or should I call you Baal, since that is your real name?” She grabbed onto Lars’ and Gage’s hand.

“How about father? I am after all still your dad,” he said.

“Dad is a title earned and you haven’t earned said title. I have a question for you though, why did you save me? I mean if you want me dead, why didn’t you just let me die when Lars’ brother attacked me?”

Lars squeezed her hand and kissed the top of her head, knowing this was tearing her up inside.

“I don’t want you dead. If I wanted you dead, you would have been long ago, but I’m afraid someone else does and she sometimes is hard to handle, but I’m working on that.” He sighed. “Yes there are times when things get by me, but like others I do have my faults, Tamara. It seems the fates have decided to give me a mate and one that is a handful. Anyway, she wants a coming out party and she’ll stop at nothing to get it, including killing you or anyone you are around. Well, she did want you dead, but now she would like you to throw her that party you were talking about. I believe if this happens my woman will come home with me and all will be well with your world again.”

“If you can’t control her now, how are you going to control her after this party, and why me? You could have this party anywhere, back where you belong. I’m sure she’d love that place.” Tamara closed her eyes, but they snapped back open when he hissed.

“I belong anywhere I want to, Little Girl, remember that. As for controlling her, she knows when she goes too far, like she did with your mother. I had no idea she was going to do that, even blowing up the house. My woman has been corralled for now. You have a week, Tamara, Make me proud. I will also be sending a guest list and I expect these people treated like royalty. If all goes well, I will promise to take my mate below for the next 100 years.”

The phone rang, indicating a text message. “I just sent the list. I expect an update in two days. Good night, Daughter.” With that, he disconnected the call.

She picked up the phone and was ready to fling it across the room, but Lars snatched it out of her hand. “We need that list, sorry baby,” Lars kissed her cheek and checked the message.

“Shit!” He stared at the list not believing who was on it. Lars looked up at Maxim. “You might want to look at this.” He handed him the phone and Maxim shook his head.

“It’s not going to happen. There is no way the queen is going to appear at his female’s coming out party. I don’t’ know how he’s planning on getting her there, not to mention that he’s invited half of the demons from below.” Maxim handed Tamara her hot white chocolate and rose. “No, he’s up to something. One half of these names can’t walk up here unless they’ve been invited and one person would not…I retract that. Yes she would invite them. Not good at all.” With those words, he disappeared from the room.

Taking the last sip of her drink, Tamara leaned over him to put the mug on the table and grabbed the TV. “Do you think he’ll keep his promise?” Tamara flicked the channels till she got the one she wanted.

Lars and Gage cuddled up next to her, knowing she needed them close. “I can’t answer that, Tamara. I don’t know your father, the real man. Maybe your siblings will.” Lars slid his hand under the covers and pulled the towel off her body.

“Lars…” She grabbed his hand, holding him. “I want to watch my show and sleep.”

“You watch your show, we’ll behave,” he said, but she still eyed him for a second before releasing his hand. “I just want to hold you.” He cupped one breast while Gage lowered his mouth and sucked her nipple into his mouth.

“Guys, you know I can’t watch my show when you do that,” she tried to get up, but they’re bodies were half top on her.

Each time a commercial came on the TV, he and Gage would drive up her heat. By the time the show was over Tamara was cussing up a storm. “I didn’t hear half of what they said. I hope you two are happy.” She grumbled and tried to move, but Gage was already kissing a path down her stomach.

“We’re sorry baby, let us make it up to you,” he said as he leaned over and covered her mouth before she could say a word. Lars loved to kiss her and his tongue tangled with hers. He knew the exact moment Gage attacked her pussy, a gush of air was released in a moan into his mouth.

“I can’t wait, I need to be buried inside of her,” Gage mumbled.

Breaking the kiss, Lars laughed as Gage got tangled in the blankets and almost fell off the bed.

“Shut up," he winked at her as he finally untangled his legs and pulled her legs up and over his shoulders. “Can’t wait, baby, sorry.” With one stroke Gage was inside her, but Lars, too had a surprise for his werewolf lover.

He leaned over and gave Tamara a quick kiss and grabbed the lube. “Hold onto the headboard and don’t let go.” Lars said before he slipped out of bed, lubing his cock as he stepped around behind Gage.

“Lars!” Gage growled, but he knew his lover was looking forward to his cock being buried inside his ass.

Running his hand over Gage’s shoulder, Lars kissed his back. “Lower her legs and bend down. I need you, wolfman,” Lars admitted shocking Gage and Tamara.

Not saying anything, Lars grabbed onto Gage’s hips and slowly worked his cock into Gage’s ass. Once he was all the way in, Lars reached around and cupped his balls. “So tight, but don’t come till I tell you, both of you.”

Both of them moaned as he set the pace, slower than Gage wanted. “Lars…”
