The Alphas' Bliss (18 page)

Devin

I
didn’t return to the estate until mid-day. I’d missed Bliss something fierce. Every time I reached out to her, I got the impression that she was sleeping. As promised, Warrick had sent me updates on both their conditions. He told me that Micha had fed from someone other than Bliss, and had recovered wonderfully. He was back in fighting form.

I worked my way up the grand staircase to the suite of rooms that belonged to the three of us now. I was bone tired. The meeting with the Alphas had been rough and extremely long. I wanted a shower then to climb into bed with Bliss by my side.

When I walked into the sitting room, I found Micha on the couch watching a basketball game. I looked at my watch. It was three in the afternoon. It was early for him to be up.

“Everything okay?” I asked pulling my jacket off.

“Yeah. What did you find out about the wolves that attacked us?” Micha asked.

I took a seat in one of the chairs across from the couch. “They didn’t belong to one individual pack. They came from about four packs total. They’d all been kicked out several months ago.”

“Do you know who’s leading them, if anyone?”

I shook my head. “No, that’s the fucked up part. They’re rogue but someone is pulling their strings. What that has to do with Bliss, I don’t fucking know! It’s driving me crazy,” I admitted heatedly.

“Well, you aren’t going to like this,” Micha handed over a plain manila envelope.

I took it from him. I opened it up and pulled out a single sheet of paper. The handwriting was meticulous and I didn’t recognize it. I sniffed the paper but there was no scent I could discern.

I read the note, growling in response to it. Micha just nodded his head. “It was courier delivered a few hours ago. My warriors are working on trying to find out who brought it to the courier.”

I read the note again: “
We will kill the freak. She’s an abomination to both our kind. You can’t keep her safe. She will die, slowly, painfully.”

“Do you have any enemies Micha?” I asked.

He gave a rough laugh. “Plenty. It would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find who’d written the note. The problem with vamps doing this, is that both times she was attacked by a wolf.”

I nodded. “Any of your enemies real friendly with wolves?”

Micha rubbed his chin. “Now, there’s something we can look into. Let me call Gideon,” he said picking up his cell phone.

As he talked to Gideon I put the note back in the envelope, placing it back on the coffee table. I sighed. Someone was out to hurt my mate and I didn’t have a fucking clue who it could be.

Speaking of my mate, I got up and followed her scent into the bedroom.

She was curled up on her side, sleeping soundly. I didn’t want to disturb her rest but I couldn’t stay away from her any longer. I needed to hold her. I quickly stripped down to my boxers then carefully climbed in bed next to her.

She immediately came to my arms cuddling into my side. “Devin,” she said sleepily.

“Hey baby. Go back to sleep. I just need to hold you.” I kissed the crown of her head, inhaling her sweet vanilla scent.

“Are you okay?” she asked coming up on her elbow. Her hand rested over my heart.

“I’m better now that I’m with you,” I told her honestly. She was my everything in such a short time.

She smiled sweetly. She closed the distance between us, taking my lips in a soft gentle kiss. My cock sprang to life and I groaned. Bliss’ hand traveled south till she cupped my hard-on in her palm. Even through the material of the underwear her touch was amazing. She nuzzled my neck, nipping at my pulse.

“Do you need to feed?” I asked hoarsely. If she sank those pretty little fangs in my neck right then I’d come.

“No. I just like the way you smell right here.” She ran her tongue against my pulse, sucking the skin between her teeth. She moved up to my ear, biting the lobe gently but enough to make it sting. Her hand tightened on the bulge behind my boxers.

I reached down and tore the material away from my cock. She giggled at the sound of the material rendering. Her small soft hand circled my cock and she pumped me, once, twice, a third time. I had to grit my teeth to hold back my orgasm. I grabbed her waist, pulling her onto me.

“Lift up baby,” I told her taking hold of my cock, holding it straight up. She looked down at me and licked her lips. I shook my head. “I want inside you.”

She came over me, slowly lowering her body down over my cock. She used my chest as leverage, her nails digging into my skin. She stopped mid-way, breathing deep. She’d never been on top before and was unsure.

“Just a little more baby. You can take me. Just relax,” I
told her through our connection. I placed my thumb against her clit, rubbing it in small circles. She hummed, lowering herself a little more down my shaft.

“That’s my girl. Just a little more and I’ll be in you”.
I tweaked her nipple with my other hand making her jump. When she came down, she slid the rest of way onto my cock. My eyes rolled back in my head and she threw her head back, moaning. She was stretched to capacity. She was like a hot tight fist around me, squeezing me in the best way.

“I don’t know what to do,” she told me huskily, rubbing my chest. Her cheeks turned pink.

“I’ll show you,” I took hold of her hips and lifted her up, not enough to dislodge her though, then brought her back down. “Squeeze me on the way down.” I did it again and she followed my direction. I was gonna die. She felt like heaven. After a minute or so, she started moving on her own. Up, down, then she’d circle her hips, squeezing me. It had my eyes crossing. She picked up the pace, digging those nails further into my chest. The slight sting felt damn good.

She rode me with abandonment once she found her rhythm, and lost her shyness. Her entire body trembled from the pleasure and I could feel her tightening around me. Her orgasm was close and I thanked god because I wasn’t sure how much longer I could hold out. I put my thumb back on her clit, applying a little pressure working it in a circular motion. She was panting, her fangs visible. She was an angel above me. Still working her hips over me, she leaned down and nuzzled my neck again. I knew she wouldn’t be able to resist biting me so I moved my head giving her room.

Her body tensed and those pearly white fangs struck deep at the same time. There was no stopping the explosion. I came so hard it felt like the head of my cock exploded. It was both painful and pleasurable. I immediately began to swell in her. I wrapped my arms around her waist, holding her close to me as she fed. She soon pulled free of my vein, lifting up on me again. She was licking her lips. Those icy white eyes were shining bright. She was the most beautiful thing on the planet.

“Did I hurt you?” she asked quietly.

“No baby. It felt damn good,” I said with a smile. She smiled in return. Micha walked into the room just then coming directly over to the bed. She smiled up at him shyly. He pushed his hand into her hair, pulling her head back slightly. She trembled on top me, her pussy creaming at Micha’s handling.

“Remember what I told you in the shower last night what we’d do today?” Micha rubbed his beard gently against her cheek. She closed her eyes for a moment, visibly swallowing.

She nodded slowly. “Good. Lay flat over Devin again,” Micha instructed before giving her a tongue tangling kiss. When he pulled away, she bent at the waist, bringing her upper body back in contact with mine, tucking her head in my neck again. She was breathing hard. She was nervous. I looked at Micha quizzically.

He dug into his slack pocket, pulling out a small butt plug, shaped like a baby’s pacifier. It was smaller at the tip, increasing in size till the end. My cock jumped inside of Bliss and she moaned. The thought of watching her take that plug had me roaring to go again.

I rubbed my hand down her back, over her hips to the cheeks of her ass. I grabbed them gently, spreading her open. She whimpered. Micha was sucking on the plug lubricating it.

“It’s okay baby. This won’t hurt,” I told her but she still tensed when she felt Micha’s hand on her lower back.

“Relax Bliss. This will go so much easier if you relax,” he told her.

“How about you try to relax while I shove something up your butt,” she sassed. I had to fight hard to not laugh. Micha’s lips were twitching, but that didn’t stop him from pushing my hand out the way and slapping her backside.

She jumped and whimpered at the punishment. “Is that how you talk to me?” he asked gruffly.

“No Sir. Sorry Sir,” she said quietly into my neck.

Micha rubbed her backside where he’d spanked her, easing the sting. “You are going to take this plug because that’s what your mates want from you.”

She nodded her head, her nails digging into my biceps. I kissed her forehead. “Relax baby, I’m right here. I’ve got you,” I whispered to her, while spreading her cheeks again.

Micha set the plug against her rosette and she whimpered. He applied a bit of pressure and the tip slipped in. A single tear slipped free of her lid. I nudged her head with my chin till she sat up a bit and looked at me.

“Hey, does it hurt?” I asked watching her. She shook her head no. “Then why the tears?”

“I don’t know,” she said tearfully tucking her head back on my shoulder.

Micha rubbed her back, pulling the plug out just a bit then sliding it back in, further this time. He continued to do this until almost the largest part of the plug was embedded in her backside. “Breathe deeply, Bliss,” he directed. When she inhaled he pushed the plug the rest of the way in. She groaned.

“Good girl. You did so well sweetheart,” Micha complimented her. She slowly sat up, looking his way.

“How long do I have to wear this thing?” she asked in a measured tone. She didn’t want another spanking. Especially not with the anal plug in place.

“Till we take it out,” Micha said with a devious smile. Bliss just sighed and nodded.

The swelling in my cock had gone down so I lifted her off me, laying her on her side next to me. Micha handed me a warm washcloth so I cleaned her up, then myself. I kissed her, softly, gently. “Thank you baby.”

She quirked an eyebrow at me. I smiled. “I can’t wait to bury myself balls deep in that sweet ass of yours. The plug will make that easier on you,” I explained. Her cheeks turned bright pink and she shook her head at me. I couldn't help but laugh.

“I love you Bliss,” I told her sincerely. She cupped my cheek and smiled at me.

“I know. Now get some rest,” she instructed before curling back into my side.

Would she ever give me the words she’d given Micha? I surely hoped so. There was nothing I wanted more than for her to love me.

Micha

F
or hours I worked with my warriors devising a list of potential vampires who might be holding a grudge against me. It started out as a pretty long list but got whittled down to five names. All five were known to employ wolves for protection. Warrick and Gideon would start the questioning tonight.

Brock had taken a call and stepped out the room. When he returned he had a mischievous grin on his face. I knew instinctively that my mate was up to something.

“Tell her no Micha. She’s headed your way,”
Devin projected.

I excused myself from the meeting and headed up the staircase. I met Bliss on the very first step. She opened her mouth but I held my hand up. “Let’s take it inside our suite.” She huffed but turned back around.

The minute my feet crossed the threshold she spoke. “I’m going to dinner with Brass, tonight.”

Devin was at the bar pouring himself a drink. I nodded when he raised an empty glass. I was going to need a drink for this.

Bliss was standing with her hands on her hips, a determined look in her eye.

“Bliss…” I began but she interrupted.

“Don’t Bliss me. I haven’t seen Brass since I moved in here. He called and wants to take me to our favorite restaurant. He’s my brother, Micha, and I miss him. I’ve already talked to the twins. They’ve agreed to accompany us.”

Devin shook his head but how could I deny her? I couldn’t keep her quarantined within the estate. Then a thought occurred to me. “Does Brass know what’s happened in the past forty-eight hours?”

“No and he doesn’t need to know. He’ll tell the parents and they’ll completely freak out.”

Though I agreed with her about my aunt and uncle, Brass needed to know so he could be on the lookout for anything unusual. “You can go, on two conditions,” I told her. Her smile lit up her face.

“Thank you Micha. Thank you.” She came over giving me a loud smacking kiss.

“Two conditions,” I repeated, taking hold of her upper arms. “One. We disclose everything to Brass so he can keep you safe and, two, along with the twins, you are to take two wolves with you as protection.”

Devin immediately pulled out his cell phone and put it to his ear. Bliss nodded happily, hugging me tight.

“No problem. Thank you Micha. I lo…” she began but caught herself, before the
l
-word slipped out. “I’ll call Brass and tell him to come early so we can talk.”

She unwrapped herself from around me and ran off toward the bedroom. I ran my hands through my hair in frustration. She was going to tell me she loved me again but changed her mind. I didn’t want her to hold back from me but why should I expect her to declare her feelings for me when I hadn’t returned the words to her.

“You’re completely wrapped around her little finger,” Devin accused, handing me my drink.

I drank it down in one swallow. “Like you’re not?”

He shrugged but smiled. “We are both whipped when it comes to that little slip of a woman. It’s downright embarrassing.”

I laughed. Yeah, we are and it is, but I didn’t care. She was my everything and if it was in my power to give her something she wanted, then by god, she’d have it.

“Got two wolves on dinner patrol?” I asked.

“Yep, Conrad is going to send them directly to the restaurant. They’ll be there when she and Brass arrive.”

“Good. Thanks. Guess it’s just us for dinner then,” I said jokingly.

“Thank god I’m a cheap date then,” Devin said laughingly.
