Second Chances (9 page)

Callie had calmed herself now with the help of her new
family. She sat back, reclining on Logan's chest. His arms automatically came
around her chest, hugging her close. ‘I love you Logan,’ she whispered, knowing
only he would hear. His armed tightened against her.

‘I love you too, baby.’

Chapter 19

The whole world was forgotten as she twirled, care-free, in
Logan's arms, dancing to the slow music the band played. For a large man, he
moved with such grace and danced like he had been doing it his entire life. She
guessed he had danced a lot with other women, but she hadn’t realised she was
growling until Logan cupped her cheek.

‘Something wrong?’ He looked down at her but refused to let
her pull away from his body.

‘No, I was just thinking about all the dancing you did
before you met me. You’re very good at it.’ She smiled, trying to remain calm,
even though her wolf was pacing inside. Logan just laughed at her.

‘My little jealous mate,’ he replied. ‘There is no need. Every
dance from now on will be with you and only you.’ He kissed her on the tip of
her nose and then spun her out at arm’s length, then back in again. God, how he
loved to hear her laugh. Just before he could kiss her again, he felt Mindy
alongside them.

‘Hey, Logan. How about we show her how it’s done?’ Mindy
sneered at Callie. ‘I mean, it can’t be easy, moving
her
in your arms…’ A
few people laughed and Logan felt his heckles rise.

‘Fuck off, Mindy. You insult my mate again and I’ll make
sure your dancing days are over.’ Logan kept Callie close, even though her
whole body felt stiff.

‘But baby,’ Mindy replied, ‘you said we would dance all
night at your brother’s wedding. You are still taking me, right?’ Mindy was
pouting. Fuck, how had he even been attracted to her? Fine, he didn’t love her,
but he must have liked her enough to screw her. Looking down at her now, he had
no idea what he ever saw in her. Especially now, when he held the lush curves
of his mate in his arms; he couldn’t imagine ever being without Callie.

The look on Callie’s face was one of sheer panic. Logan was
afraid she would bolt, though he knew he would follow her. However, her next
move surprised him.

‘Well,’ she began, ‘I’m not Logan's keeper, so he is free to
take you. But, after all the hot, mated sex we’ve been having, I doubt he’ll
have the energy to dance all night.’ She smirked at Mindy, then leant up on her
tip toes and planted a big kiss right on Logan's lips. But, before she could
pull away, he grabbed her hips and swept her up into a passionate kiss, leaving
no doubt in Mindy’s mind where she stood.

‘Fine, whatever,’ she spat. ‘Fuck the fat bitch, but when
you’re done I might not be here to pick up the pieces. I’ll see what Greg’s
doing.’ With that, Mindy stomped off towards the table where Seth and his mate
Sarah were sitting, along with Greg and Alex, their friends. Logan turned to
Callie to tell her to ignore what Mindy had said, but when he looked down at
her she was smiling at him.

‘Something funny, baby?’

‘Now, I know I’m biased and a tad bitchy,’ she replied. ‘But
whatever did you see in her, except a cold, stiff, heartless body to shag?’ She
threw her hand over her mouth to stifle her laughter.

‘A tad bitchy?’ Logan loved her more than ever at that
moment. She hadn’t let that bitch Mindy break her down. Looking at her, he
could see how far she had come from the shy woman who wouldn’t bite back. She
leant up to his ear to whisper, her warm breath on his neck causing his cock to
swell.

‘How about we sneak out back and try out the flat bed on
your truck?’ she said. ‘I hear that was a prime location for a lot of your
dates.’ She winked at him as she pulled away and all he could do was grab her
hand and drag her from the dance floor towards the back exit.

As soon as they were outside, he made straight for the truck.
However, instead of pulling her towards the back, he opened the front passenger
door and sat her on the seat. Callie responded by wrapping her legs around his
waist and kissing him like she couldn’t get enough of him. His hands went
straight to her hair as he took control of the kiss, but pulled back to look in
her eyes. The love he saw there sent shivers up and down his body.

‘Baby, I love you so much…’ he breathed. Callie reached for
his belt and started undoing his trousers like a woman possessed. ‘Eager, are
we?’ he laughed.

‘I want you, Logan. All of you. I want to taste you all
over. I want to take you in my mouth. I want you to teach me what you like.’ The
blush across her cheek told him how innocent she was in all this.

‘Callie, baby, if you keep talking like that I’m going to
come in my pants like a damn teenager.’ His hand was on her cheek, tenderly
rubbing it with his thumb. ‘It’s okay, Callie. You don’t have to do that.’

‘But I want to, Logan. I need to. All night I’ve been imagining
being down on my knees, submitting to you. I want to give you what you want,
Logan.’

Jesus Christ, he wasn’t going to last. Her words made his
cock so hard that, when she freed it from his pants, he let out a sigh of
relief. She gripped him in her hands and started to rub along his length.

‘I’m not going to last if you keep teasing me like that,’ he
said. ‘Hop down and have your way with me then.’ The pleasure was so intense he
knew he was going to explode before she got that hot mouth on him.

Callie jumped down and fell to her knees. Her big brown eyes
tangled with his before she slowly leant into him, taking just the tip in her
mouth. Groaning, Logan wrapped his hand in her soft, silky hair. He couldn’t
wait any longer to feel her mouth slide over him. Slowly, he pushed into her
open mouth, the sound of her groan making him close his eyes in bliss. She felt
so good and it took all his strength not to thrust in deep until he spilled in
her. When he felt her tongue flick the end of his erection, he jerked as his
body began to shake.

‘Callie, baby, I’m going to come…’

He didn’t know if he was warning her so she could pull away,
but he hoped to god she didn’t stop what she was doing. Her mouth was wet all
over him, while the smell of her arousal hit him so hard he couldn’t help but
grip her hair tighter and thrust hard into her mouth. He heard her groan again
before he gripped the side of her head and thrust deeper, as his body shook and
spilled his seed down her throat. Shit, he couldn’t even remember his own name
at that moment. When he came back to reality, he finally let go of his grip on
Callie and pulled her up against his chest, letting her rest her head on him
whilst he caught his breath.

‘Mmm, you taste so good,’ she said.

‘Fuck, Callie. I can just about stand. That was amazing,
baby. I love you so much.’ The deep word filled his heart as he pulled away to
look at her. The sexy smile she had given caused his cock to swell again and
there was no way he was leaving her without any. Gripping her hips hard, he
swung her into the cab seat again and pulled her skirt up. His fingers found
her panties, which he ripped off. He placed a finger at her entrance, feeling
the wetness pool there. ‘Made you hot sucking my cock, did it, my mate?’

‘Like you wouldn’t believe, Logan.’

With one quick movement, he was buried deep inside of her,
her scream piercing the air before his mouth covered hers to keep her moans
from the outside world. He roughly pounded into her, taking deeper strokes as
her internal muscles milked him again, sending waves of pleasure as her release
hit him. Once, twice more and he fell over her, spilling himself deep inside.

‘Jesus, Callie. I’m going to take you dancing more often.’ He
saw her eyes were still closed and suddenly panic welled inside him. ‘Did I
hurt you, baby? Was I too rough?’

When she opened her eyes and looked at him, he saw her
bright blue wolf eyes shining back.

‘It was perfect,’ she replied, kissing him tenderly on the
lips. ‘But you ripped my panties, so now I have to walk around naked under this
skirt.’

Logan laughed. ‘If you think we’re going back in there you’re
crazy. I’m taking you home, so I can make love to you all night long in our bed.’
He pulled out of her and dressed himself, carefully pulling her skirt back down
to cover her.

‘I love you, Logan.’

‘I love you too, Callie.’ Then, before he could put the seat
belt around her, a wolf’s cry rang out in the night air.

‘That’s Brandon. Quick!’ Logan pulled her down as they ran
towards the edge of the woods. Brandon was there with a few other wolves,
looking down onto what looked like a woman covered in scrapes, blood and dirt. She
appeared to be unconscious. Brandon changed back into his human form and
quickly bent to support the girl’s head.

‘Brandon, what’s happened, man?’ Logan asked as he bent to
look at the girl.

‘We were running the perimeter check and I came across her,
just lying on the side of the road. She looks like she’s walked for miles. She
is human, but... shit...’ Brandon swept the hair away from her face to get a
closer look. ‘I think she’s my mate. Her smell is calling me.’ Logan looked at
him in surprise, but he could see the girl clearly needed help.

‘Come on,’ he said, ‘let’s get her home and cleaned up. I
don’t like the fact she was just wondering through our woods, but she needs
some medical help. Mum will know what to do.’ Logan leant down to help Brandon
pick the girl up, but when Brandon snarled at him he knew better than to touch
another wolf’s mate. ‘I’d say you’re about to meet a whole lot of trouble,
Brandon,’ he laughed.

‘Oh, so I’m trouble, am I?’ Logan didn’t realise Callie was
so close behind him.

‘Not you, baby. Never you.’ He kissed her cheek. ‘It’s just
that when a woman suddenly lands on our territory I’m bound to be a bit
suspicious.’ He took Callie’s hand and walked back to his parked car, followed
by Brandon and his mate in his arms. Once they were safely in the truck and on
their way home, Callie turned to look at Brandon holding the fragile female
against him.

‘You really think she’s your mate?’ Brandon didn’t look up at
Callie to answer. It was as if he couldn’t take his eyes off his prize.

‘She smells so perfect,’ he replied quietly, ‘and all I want
to do is protect her. I’ve never felt like this before. Ever. Shit, Callie,
what could have happened for her to get into this state?’

‘I don’t know, Brandon, but we will...’ Before she could
answer, the woman stirred in Brandon’s arms as she finally opened her eyes.

‘Shhh,’ spoke Brandon. ‘You’re okay. We are here to help you.
I’m taking you to my parents’ house so they can help you get cleaned up. Can
you tell me your name?’ His voice sounded controlled, even though he felt anything
but.

‘Maggie,’ she replied, so quietly they just about heard her.
‘My name is Maggie.’

‘Well, Maggie. I’m Brandon and we will help you, okay?’ She
nodded, resting her head against his shoulder.

Chapter 20

Maggie could feel his warm body against hers and, even
though she was scared, she knew she had a job to do. Once she made it to where
they lived, she would try her hardest to get the information Marcus needed so
she could be free. She closed her eyes again and leant in to the warmth of this
man, while the darkness of exhaustion finally took her down.
