Sara's Mates (4 page)

“We know you like it when we touch you Sara. What you are afraid of is yourself. You're scared of the way you feel about us and don't know how to handle it. That scares you doesn't it baby?” Chase stared into her eyes.

Sara couldn't believe he had her pegged already; instead of answering she lowered her eyes and drank the last of her coffee. She headed to her bathroom to brush her teeth and give her hair another brush before she twisted it up into a bun at the back of her head. She grabbed her purse and car keys from her dressing table and headed to the front door.

She had her hand on the door knob just as a large palm engulfed her hand, stopping her from opening the front door.

“No you don't sweetheart. Chase and I will be driving you to and from work as well as anywhere else you want to go. It's not safe with the rogue werewolf still out there somewhere. He might just be waiting for another opportunity to get you alone,” Tony took her car keys from her other hand. “Just wait until Chase and I get our shirts on and we'll drive you to work. Taking a business card out of his back pocket he wrote something on the back and handed it to her.

“This has our mobile phone numbers on it. I just added Chase's number on the back. If you have any problems at all, and I don't care what time it is, you are to 27

call Chase or myself straight away. Do you understand little spitfire? Your life is in danger. Don't take any unnecessary risks. You call one of us, even if you think it could be a false alarm,” Tony ordered quietly yet firmly.

“Oh god,” Sara whispered as her face went as pale as a sheet. She remembered the assault and was scared at the idea of being attacked again. She also realized something horrible.

Tony watched the color drain from his mate’s face and immediately picked her up into his arms in case she was going to faint. Walking back to the living room he sat of the side of the sofa bed with Sara on his lap.

“What is it Sara? What's wrong?” Tony asked concerned.

“He's got my mobile. It has all the work numbers programmed into it as well as Melissa's and Jenny's, my next door neighbor. He can find out where I work and who I mix with just from calling the numbers on my phone.”

“I don't want you to worry about your sister. Damian and Luke would never let anyone near Melissa, she is adequately protected; but I will call them and inform them so they can send out one of the older Sigma's to protect your neighbor Jenny. Do you have any security at your place of work?” Chase asked. He had entered the room as soon as Tony had asked her what was wrong. They must have superhuman hearing or something because Sara hadn't spoken very loud.

“Um no… not really. You don't think he will try to get to me at work do you?” Sara asked biting her lower lip nervously.

“No baby, I don't think so. There are too many people that would see him. That is the last place he is likely to show up. Don't worry. We will protect you Sara, even if one of us has to go to work with you,” Chase promised.

Sara broke from her musings and worries and faced both of her men.

“Oh no. No fucking way. Neither one of you is going to be following me around, distracting me while I'm trying to work. I'd never get anything done with you hot studs hanging around.” Sara moaned in embarrassment. “Oh fuck did I say that out loud?”

“Yes you did little spitfire. I'm glad to see you're not as immune to us as you pretend to be,” Chase said with a quick grin.

“Just because I think you two are attractive does not give you license to start touching me or ordering me around. Is that understood?” Sara asked firmly. She had to get control of herself and the situation. It wouldn’t do to give the weres the opportunity to run over all of her wishes.

“We'll comply with your wants for now little mate; but don't expect our touches or our orders to quit. We all know the inevitable conclusion.” Tony warned with an anticipating look. “Now we better get you to work before you're late or we start touching you some more,” Tony teased as he helped Sara to her feet.

Chase and Tony shrugged into T-shirts and put on their shoes and socks. They all headed out the front door and Chase hopped in the driver’s side of the four door truck. When Sara would have gotten in the back, Tony stopped her and helped her into the front so she was sitting between the two men.

They arrived at her work place within fifteen minutes.

As she was about to push at Tony to let her out of the truck, Chase grabbed her about the waist. His arm held her within his embrace as he lowered his mouth to hers. The kiss he gave her was so carnal, she was panting with need as he weaned his lips from hers. She just stared at him until he removed his arm from around her waist.

Tony reached in and helped her slide across the seat until her butt was resting on the edge. He also leaned in and planted a sweet sensual kiss upon her lips. Sara had never felt more cherished or needed than when she was with the 29

two werewolves. They made her feel so small and feminine, she was not sure she liked it.

She was so used to looking after herself. Sara had had to be independent from a very young age. She had looked after Melissa since their single mother had up and left the two girls, never to be heard from again. Sara had become mother as well as sister to Melissa. She had never had anyone else to depend on since she had turned eighteen years old. She wasn't sure she wanted her life taken over by two, very overbearing werewolves.

Tony helped lifted her out of the truck and held her until she was steady on her feet.

“What time do you finish work Sara?” Tony asked.

“I'm not sure. It depends on how much work I have to get through in the day. Sometimes I finish around five other times it's not until eight pm or later.”

“I want you to call us when you are ready to come home Sara. Do not, under any circumstances, leave this building until we come and get you. I will buy you another mobile phone today so you can contact us at any time. Do you understand Sara?” Chase asked implicitly.

“Yeah all right. No leaving the building until you come and get me,” Sara muttered, she rolled her eyes skywards before she turned away. Her mannerisms were just for show. There was no way she was going to put herself in danger, not that she would let her mate's know that. She was just too scared of coming face to face with Mr. Creepy again.

Sara's day seemed to drag. Lately she was becoming more despondent with her job. She wasn't excited about becoming a lawyer anymore, and she was sick and tired of doing all the work for the stuck up lawyer assholes she worked for. They got paid the big bucks just because they stood up in court. The legal aids were the cogs that kept the lawyers in their big paying positions and she had had enough of their stuck up attitudes.

They treated all the legal aids as if they were something to be scraped from the bottom of their designer shoes. If one of them actually deigned to get their own cup of coffee, Sara thought her toes would curl up and she would die of a heart attack. She knew not all lawyers treated their employees that way, but the people she presently worked for thought they were above anyone else.

Sara's day finally came to an end. She was packing up her things and had just logged out of her computer. She was the only person left on this floor of the building. Most of the lights had been turned off and the only lighting left was the dim lights along the hall leading to the elevator. She picked up the phone and called Tony.

“Yeah.”

“Well hello to you to,” Sara said sarcastically. She was in a bad mood after the day she had.

“Oh hi baby. Are you finished?”

“Yes I'm finished for the night. Do you think you could come get me now please?” Sara asked with a slight sigh.

“Sure thing. Stay inside Sara. What floor are you on?”

Tony asked.

“Second floor, turn left when you get out of the elevator, follow the hallway to the end. I'm in the last cubicle.”

“We're on our way sweetheart, sit tight,” Tony disconnected the call.

Sara sat at her desk making sure she had everything packed into her purse. She also made sure that she had all the notes she needed to take home with here. As Sara was waiting, she was becoming bored waiting for her ride to show up. She began walking up and down the hall a few times to stretch her tired aching muscles.

She was heading back to her cubicle when she heard the elevator begin to move. Sara hurried back to her desk picked up her purse, the heavy folder full of notes and 31

headed towards the elevator. She was within ten meters of the elevator as it stopped on her floor and the doors slid open.

She screamed in fright as she came face to face with Colin the creep. He moved towards her with a predatory purpose and amazing speed. There was no way she would be able to escape him. Clutching the heavy folder in her hands she swung it at him with all her might as he got to her. The folder flew from her hands and hit the floor with a loud thud, it fell open and papers went everywhere.

Sara let out a scream as she fell to her back with Colin on top of her. She used everything she had to fight back, clawing at his face with her nails, using her body to try and buck him off her body. It was no use he was too strong for her to move him. She raked her nails down his cheek until she drew blood. He back handed her so hard she saw stars. Sara clawed at his hands as he ripped her blouse open and began tearing at her skirt.

He was so strong but she couldn't give up. She tried bucking him off her again and gained a small amount of freedom. Bringing one of her legs up she tried to knee him in the balls. She didn't have enough leverage so her knee barely contacted, she earned herself another slap in the face. Sara felt her lip split open as his hand connected with her cheek and mouth. She spat the blood pooling into her mouth out so she wouldn't choke.

Her ears were ringing from the blow and she didn't hear the sound of the lift moving. All of a sudden she was picked up and thrown over Colin's shoulder as he bolted for the stairs. Sara was bouncing over his shoulder which made it hard for her to breathe; his shoulder was slamming into her diaphragm with every step he took.

Sara couldn't see much from her upside down position, but she frantically searched for anything to grab hold of in their flight down the stairs. She realized they were near the bottom of the stairwell when Colin froze. It 32

seemed like he was listening to something. She didn't stop to think; she took a deep breath and screamed for all she was worth. Her scream was cut off abruptly when she was thrown down the rest of the stairs. She landed on the cold hard concrete at the bottom. Her head slammed against the floor and she sank into oblivion.

Chapter Four

Sara woke to a pounding headache. She moaned out loud as she opened her eyes, sunlight stabbed through her aching skull. Her whole body was in agony, it felt as if she had been hit by a truck. She tried to move her arm and let out a whimper as pain shot from her wrist to her elbow; her right arm felt as if it was encased in something heavy. Her face felt bruised and swollen. She tried to open her eyes again, allowing herself to adjust to the light slowly.

She groaned again as more pain shot through her head with her movement as she turned her head. God where was she? What had happened to her?

“It's all right baby, you're safe, we won't let anything else happen to you,” a low male voice said as he walked into the room.

“Where am I?” Sara rasped out of dry sore lips.

“Let me get you a drink honey,” said another familiar voice. A straw was held to her lips so Sara took a deep drink. She swiped her tongue at some of the moisture.

“You are back at our cabin little spitfire. That asshole got to you at your work place. We only just got to you in time. He was trying to kidnap you by running down the stairwell when he knew he wouldn't be able to escape us because he was carrying you over his shoulder, he threw you the rest of the way down the stairs. You have a broken wrist, a slight concussion and your face and lip is swollen,”

Chase explained calmly. He was trying not to show the rage he felt as he stared at his battered and bruised mate.

“What happened to Colin?” Sara asked in a pained whisper. As she opened her eyes once more squinting through the slits, she looked from Chase to Tony.

“Don't worry honey he will never hurt you again,”

Tony promised in a hard voice.

“You are going to be staying with us. I don't care how much you argue Sara; you need help until you can use your right arm again. We had a doctor check you over and set your wrist. He has advised you are going to need help for at least a few weeks. You will probably have a headache for a couple of days and you are to stay in bed until you headache is gone; doctor's orders. Now do want some more water, are you feeling at all hungry?” Chase asked.

“Water please.” Sara was in too much pain to worry about Chase giving her orders again. She would fight with them later. Right now, she just wanted the dryness from her mouth to go away.

Tony held the straw to Sara's lips once more as Chase supported her head allowing her to drain half the glass. He gently placed her head back on the pillow as sleep consumed her once more.

Sara drifted in and out of sleep for forty-eight hours.

Every time she awoke, her two mates were beside her, offering her assistance to drink or giving her more pain killers for headache. She awoke bright and early Wednesday morning with a bladder so full it felt like it was going to burst.

She moved gingerly, feeling all the aches and pains throughout her body as she swung her legs to the side of the bed. Once her feet were on the floor, she used her left arm to lever herself into a standing position. She stood swaying for a minute as her body protested to being vertical once more. When her head stopped swimming, she slowly made her way across the room to the bathroom.

Sighing with relief as she used the facilities, she then washed her hands. As she was drying her hands, the bathroom door flew open slamming into the opposite wall.

Sara shrieked in fright.
