Dallas finally broke our kiss, groaning loudly as he lifted his head.

  “I’ve never been so fucking hard in my life!” he growled.

  I clung to his shirt, positive that if I let go I would melt into the ground.

  “Take me home Dallas”, I panted out.

  Chapter thirty

  Dallas

  I kept my eyes firmly on the road as I drove us home, a white-knuckle grip on the steering wheel and my jaw clenched so tightly I was in danger of breaking a tooth!

  Raife and Jules were in the backseat of my truck and from the sounds they were making, someone was on the verge of coming. A muffled scream…Jules! The smell of her arousal was driving me fucking insane and now listening to her cum….Fuck! This was the most torturous drive I’d ever made, and my dick was so fucking hard I didn’t know if I’d be able to get out of the truck!

  I stopped in front of my house and threw the truck into park before turning it off and attempting to jump out. Fuck! My dick was aching!

  I wrenched open the back door and reached in for Jules, grabbing her by the leg and pulling her to me. I threw her over my shoulder, fireman style and ran into the house, bypassing the family room I headed straight for the stairs and my bedroom.

  I took the stairs two at a time, threw open my bedroom door and threw Jules on her back on the bed. She laughed as she bounced a couple of times.

  I undid my belt and dropped my pants on the floor, kicking off my boots and yanking my shirt over my head as I went. Jules watched me with wide eyes, her tongue darting out to wet her bottom lip. I growled.

  Kneeling on the end of the bed I grabbed her black stretchy pants at the ankle and pulled them right off. I spread her legs with my knees as I advanced up her body, grasping her shirt at the hem and ripping it straight up the middle. Her chest heaved with excitement, her gorgeous tits barely contained by the little pink lacy bra she wore.

  I thought she might be pissed if I ripped it, so I reached under her back and undid the clasp before flinging it to the floor.

  I slid both hands under her ass, a cheek in each palm, tilting her hips as I dove into her glistening pussy, my tongue swirling around her clit. Fuck my mate was sweet, her scent invading my senses as I plunged my tongue into her heat. Her moans urged me on as her hands gripped my hair, tugging and pulling. When I could feel her legs quiver I stopped, a growl rumbling up my throat as I kissed my way up her body.

  I sucked her rosy nipple into my mouth, swirling my tongue around the hard peak, nipping gently with my teeth. Her moans increased as she arched into my mouth, her hand gripped the hair at the back of my head, tight.

  I kissed her, plunging my tongue into her mouth and tangling with hers. My dick ached and my balls grew tight. I didn’t know if I could last, and I wasn’t even inside her yet!

  “I need you Dallas”, Jules moaned against my neck.

  “I need you Jules, I fucking love you!”

  I lifted my weight off her enough to nudge her legs wider with my knees, lining the head of my cock up with her entrance.

  “So wet for me Jules.”

  I pushed in with one thrust to the hilt, felt so fucking good!

  “Ahhh”, she pushed her hips up to meet me.

  “More Dallas, give me more.”

  I pulled almost all the way out before sliding back in, with long smooth strokes as she lifted her hips to meet me on each stroke. She yanked on my hair and her breathing became more erratic as I thrust faster, harder. I reached down and drew circles around her clit, spreading her wetness and she moaned.

  I kissed up her neck before taking hold of the soft area between her neck and shoulder with my teeth and bit down but not hard enough to draw blood, at the same time I pinched her clit between my thumb and forefinger.

  Her back arched off the bed, her legs stiffening as she screamed through her orgasm and I bit down, breaking the skin before swiping away any pain with my tongue. I pumped into her three times hard before my balls clenched and I shot my release into her. Tremors shot through me as I had what felt like the longest fucking orgasm of my life!

  Jules clung to me, her arms around my neck and her legs wrapped firmly around my hips, as her body slowly relaxed.

  I moaned as I rolled us to the side without pulling out.

  “Fuck me”

  I kept her pulled tight to me, because this feeling was like nothing else.

  She looked into my eyes, love shining through the endless depths of her deep blue eyes.

  “I love you Dallas.”

  I kissed her, just a soft brush of her lips before trailing kisses across her eyelids, her cheeks, her jawline and down the smooth expanse of her throat. She brushed her fingers through my hair in a motion that was soothing and sensual. My dick gave a small jerk and I smiled.

  She grinned back at me.

  The bed dipped behind Jules as Raife slid in beside her.

  “Is this okay sweetheart”, he asked.

  She reached back with one hand and grasped his neck, pulling him in for a kiss.

  Never in my imagination did I picture myself in bed with my mate and a vampire, but it was weirdly comfortable between the three of us, not awkward. My dick actually hardened further as I watched him kiss her.

  I pushed my hips into her as I was fully hard and she threw her leg over my hip, allowing me to push all the way in. I pumped into her with short hard strokes as Raife kissed her and played with her nipples, pinching and caressing.

  Jules moaned loudly and I reached between us, pressing my thumb down on her clit, not enough to send her over the edge, not yet. I pulled her leg higher and thrust into her hard, not easing up on the pressure on her clit. I felt my own release bearing down on me and I upped my speed, sucking her rosy peak into my mouth and biting down at the same time I pushed my thumb onto her clit. She erupted, convulsing between us at the same time I came, pushing into the hilt and grinding my hips into her.

  Holy shit, that was good.

  Raife slid his arms around her and shifted to his back so she was lying on top of him. I stayed on my side so I could just watch, it was fucking hot to watch him kiss her. Jules began to grind her hips into his dick and he pulled on her thighs so she was straddling him. She sat partway up so Raife could line his dick up with her opening and she slid down on top of him. She threw her head back, moaning loudly as her fingers dug into his chest. He punched his hips up into her as she made small circular motions with her hips. She had no fucking idea how hot she was! My dick was so hard it was pushing into Raife’s thigh.

  I got onto my knees behind her and buried my face in her neck, licking and sucking while I played with her beautiful tits, pinching and pulling those rosy nubs. I wrapped my hand around her throat, holding her still while Raife thrust into her. His intense gaze held hers as his fingers dug into her thighs, holding her still between us, forcing her to take what we were giving her. She whimpered, trying to move, but I held her still with my hand around her throat and my teeth in her neck. Raife hammered into her, sliding his thumb into place over her clit.

  The three of us were on the edge, just waiting for Jules to erupt so we could follow. Her whimpering became keening as she stiffened under my hands and screamed. I followed, grunting as I shot hot ropes of cum onto her back, just as Raife ground into her, finding his release.

  “Holy fuck!”

  I laid my head on Jules’ shoulder as I wrapped both arms around her waist, trying to catch my breath. Raife lay on his back, smiling at both of us and I pushed Jules forward so we were both laying on top of him. He grunted and I rolled us to the side, the three of us in a sweaty, sticky pile of entwined arms and legs.

  Jules lay with her head on my arm, her eyes closed, her breathing slowed as she drifted toward sleep. Raife brushed the hair from her face, tucking a strand behind her ear as he smiled at me. My fucking heart was so full the thought of losing either of them terrified me. I wrapped my leg across Jules and around Raife’s leg, squeezing the three of us closer.

  Chapter thirty-one

  Raife

  The sun had just peeked above the horizon when I opened my eyes. Dallas lay on his back with Jules tucked into his side, her arm resting against mine where they both lay across Dallas’ chest. Her leg and mine were both thrown across his leg as though we were both claiming him. They looked peaceful, Jules face was smooth as her hair lay wildly across the pillow and Dallas’ face held none of his usual worry.

  I was amazed by how much I had come to love them, both of them. In all of my centuries of living, I had never felt this connected to anyone and I cherished the feeling. Like Dallas told his pack last night, there was nothing I would not do to protect them. No lengths to which I would not go if they were threatened.

  I tried, very slowly, to disentangle myself from them, because a shower was most definitely in order. I slipped into the bathroom without waking them and stepped into Dallas’ giant walk in shower. I stood with my head bowed under the forceful jets, when I felt Jules step in behind me, her arms wrapping around my middle. She ran her hands across my abs, teasing with feather light touches.

  “Mmm, good morning.”

  “Good morning my love.”

  She reached for the sea sponge and body wash and began lathering my back before running the sponge over my ass and down my legs. She stepped in front of me and began the same process, starting with my shoulders and working her way down my chest and arms before dipping the sponge between my legs. She grinned up at me before dropping to her knees in front of me and washing my legs, ending with my feet. Her eyes never left mine as she reached for my cock, running her hand up and down the now hard length before replacing her hand with her mouth.

  “God Jules, that feels good.”

  I slapped my hand to the tile wall to steady myself as she sucked and kissed my throbbing cock, flicking her tongue under the crown. I groaned, willing myself not to pump roughly into her mouth. She squeezed the base of my cock while cupping and caressing my balls and I growled, “I’m gonna come”, to give her a chance to pull away, but she dug her fingers into my butt cheeks and pulled me further into her mouth. I groaned with my release and she sucked me through it, swallowing me down.

  I pulled her to her feet and wrapped her in my arms, leaning my forehead against hers.

  “Jules.”

  She gave me a quick kiss and picked up the shampoo, handing me the bottle.

  “Wash my hair?”

  I worked the lather into her hair, massaging her scalp, noting what made her moan in appreciation.

  The door opened behind us and Dallas stepped into the shower, smiling as he quickly washed and rinsed off. I noticed how he looked at the marks on Jules’ neck, right where it met her shoulder, she had one on each side. A reddish, purple bruise where he’d marked her. He seemed extremely pleased with himself and I was happy for him. It was a mating ritual for wolves.

  I needed to have another talk with Jules about my need for blood, when the time was right.

  The three of us dressed and went downstairs together where Dallas fixed their breakfast while Jules sat with me out on the deck. It was a beautiful summer day and for the moment it was peaceful.

  I needed to talk with Trey to get the latest info on the vamps that were after us. I felt like we were stuck in limbo at this point, only able to fight off whoever came at us. Without the Fae Prince with us, the prophecy would not be fulfilled and we would be stuck fighting for our lives until we either won or were defeated. Just thinking about it struck terror in my heart.

  “What is it Raife, you just got tense.”

  “You know me so well already, my love.” I kissed the tip of her nose.

  “We don’t need to discuss it right now, you should enjoy your breakfast while it’s hot.”

  Dallas came out onto the deck with two plates piled high with food for him and Jules.

  “Pancakes! Dallas you’re spoiling me…look at this bacon and sausage. And orange juice!”

  Dallas smiled at her, “It’s all for you love, eat up.”

  Jules leaned back in her chair and rubbed a hand across her belly.

  “I can’t eat another bite, I’m stuffed! Dallas, that was so good..thank you.”

  He grinned at her, “Anything for you love.”

  She leveled her gaze at me before speaking.

  “Okay Raife, tell me what it was that had you so tense on this beautiful morning.”

  Dallas looked at me, all traces of humor gone.

  “Has something happened?”

  “No, I haven’t heard anything. I was just thinking when we came outside, trying to plan for what comes next.”

  I sighed and let my shoulders slump a bit.

  “Jules, you remember when we told you about the prophecy, and that it involves you, myself, Dallas….and the Fae Prince.”

  “I remember”, she answered hesitantly.

  Dallas was grinding his teeth together so hard I could hear. I placed my hand on his knee.

  “We have to talk about it Dallas.”

  “Fuck that! Why should we share Jules with him when he doesn’t even have the fucking decency to show up! The fucker probably won’t show his face until we’ve beaten every damn vamp that’s after us! Piece of shit.”

  “I have no desire to share Jules with anyone but you Dallas, but it’s in the prophecy, we can’t ignore it.”

  “Do I get a say in whether you two want to share me or not?” Jules arched her brow at us.

  “The decision is totally up to you Jules. I would never presume to tell you what to do about the Fae Prince, whether the prophecy is upheld or not.”

  She let out the breath that she’d been holding, gearing up for an argument, but I meant every word. I would never try to force her into mating the Fae Prince for the sake of the prophecy, as long as she realizes that she’s my mate… Forever.

  “As far as I’m concerned, that fucker should never lay a hand on you Jules, prophesy or no.” Dallas growled that out, his possessive nature front and center.

  We enjoyed the morning on the deck, relaxing and learning more about our mate. I was surprised when Jules said that she had no memories of her mother or father. I already knew that she was raised by her father’s sister and that woman had also passed away. She had truly been without any family before Dallas and I. I decided right then and there that I would do whatever I could to make Jules feel like she was a part of a real family now, the three of us.

  I definitely didn’t like the fact that Jules told us how uncomfortable she had become in her position as loan officer at the bank when her boss pressured her to approve loans that she knew should not be approved.

  “What was it about the loans Jules, was it just the numbers?”

  “No, it wasn’t. It was the men who had applied, they just gave me a really bad feeling, like the vibes they gave off were truly bad. I was trying to put together evidence to show that my boss had forged my signature on at least two of their loans, and it was the same guys. Different company names, but the same guys.”

  I got a bad feeling about what she said, and one look at Dallas confirmed he felt the same way.

  “Would you recognize those men if you saw them again?”

  “Yeah, I would, but I hope I never see those guys again.”

  Jules gave a small shiver as she said that, and I quickly wrapped my arm around her shoulders and pulled her into my side.

  “Don’t worry Jules, we’ve got you.”

  The next ten days passed with hardly any attacks, save the one or two vamps who tried to infiltrate our defenses and were quickly ended. The longer it went on, the more uneasy I became. It felt like something big was coming and we had been unable to uncover the vamps new location, or where their leaders were staying.

  Dallas took his frustrations out on the punching bag in his cellar, already having to replace it once. He shifted to his wolf form and ran the boundaries of his property day and night, and those nights he was in bed with Jules and I, he wasn’t sleeping well and neither was I.

  This afternoon, Jules was in the field behind the house with Ren sparring. Jules had learned very quickly to hold back so that she didn’t injure anyone and I think she was really enjoying her sessions.

  I went out to watch them for a while after Dallas had taken off in his wolf form. Ren had also shifted and was circling Jules, trying to seize on an opening, but she found none. Jules was a step ahead of Ren, quickly pouncing on the she wolf and pinning her, one hand holding the snapping jaws away from her face. Jules let Ren up and they began again.

  I thought it would be more interesting for Jules to face two opponents, so I joined Ren in circling Jules, waiting for the opportunity to strike. The smallest hesitation in her stride and I ducked in under Jules arm, sweeping her legs out from under her, but catching her before she hit the ground, instead having her land on top of me. I quickly wrapped her up in my arms and she laughed.

  “Let’s do it again Raife!”

  We sparred for the rest of the afternoon and Jules got more determined to best me. She didn’t and her aggravation was showing.

  “Raife, you win again! I’m not very good at this!”

  She slapped her hands against her thighs and huffed out a big breath.

  “Jules, you’ve been doing this for a matter of weeks, and I have been doing it for centuries. Don’t you think that gives me an unfair advantage?”

  She spun around and held out a hand, slicing the top off a tree that stood about a hundred yards away. Ren gaped at her, tongue lolling out and I arched a brow.

  She simply shrugged before laughing and running at me, launching herself into me with her arms tightly wrapped around my neck and her legs firmly around my hips. She laughed as she peppered my face with kisses as I grabbed both her ass cheeks and pulled her closer.

  Ren turned and loped towards the tree line and Jules called out.

  “See you later Ren! That was fun, thanks!”

  Dallas returned as the sun was setting and made dinner for he and Jules, and I took the opportunity to run home and suck down a few bags of blood. God, I couldn’t wait until my mate could provide blood, it was becoming harder and harder to hold off!
