Her supper was waiting for her when she got back. Amber ate, but it settled heavily in her stomach. She asked the waitress to bring her a diet Pepsi, pushing her beer aside. The men talked, but she didn’t say anything. Cassy and Helena also sat quietly. When everyone was finished eating, Lux got up, pulling Amber’s chair back for her. He wrapped his arm around her waist, guiding her towards the elevator.

  “Could we go for a walk outside, if it’s not too cold out?” she asked.

  Lux stopped and looked down at her. He stared at her for a minute, then headed in the direction of the door to the outside. She watched as Liam and Otis got on the elevator, leaving her alone with Lux.

  They strolled outside, the stars were bright as they shined down at them, the moon nearly full. Lux’s arm was still wrapped around her.

  “Talk to me Lux? You’re all closed up. Tell me how you’re dealing with the loss of our child, because I feel like I’m going crazy. I feel empty, like part of me is gone.” Amber felt him tense up, then relax a little. He stopped by a bench and sat down on it, pulling her onto his lap.

  “I had a name picked out already if it was a boy. I wanted to name him Pierre. I thought it would bring a part of him back for me and you.” He played with her red hair as he talked.

  Amber could see the tears in his big black eyes. He looked up at the stars and pushed his blond hair out of his face. “When I thought, I had lost you on that road, I didn’t care about the baby. I just wanted you back. I knew we can have more babies, but I could never replace you.” He looked back down at her.

  “When I found you in the woods my heart stopped, seeing you there playing with

  Cassy and Helena, but then the anger and hurt took over. I’m still furious, but I love you Amber.”

  Amber laid her head on his chest. “Sometimes I feel as though your brother, Pierre is here with us. When I was out there in the woods with Cassy and Helena I could smell him. Like he was following me, watching over me, and trying to protect me. He’s talked to me a few times.” She looked up into his eyes. “I dreamed of him when I was at the hospital. He was telling me it was okay. That we would have children, and that he missed us. He told me to tell you something and I couldn’t make sense of it.” She lowered her head.

  “He said to remember when you got grounded for something he did. He told you that the same thing was happening now.” She looked up into his eyes and tears slip down his face. “Do you know what that means?”

  He pulled her tighter against his chest, resting his head on her head. “Yes, I know what he means. I had an idea who is doing all this to us, but now I’m certain who it is.”

  Lux slipped his hands under her legs, stood up, and carried her towards the hotel door.

  “I need to make some calls and I want you safe.” Lux murmured in her hair. They stepped into the elevator to their suite.

  * * *

  Amber soaked in the huge tub, bubbles and candles everywhere, while her mates talked over plans on how to catch the people hurting her. She was listening to Nocturne by Triniti on her headphones. The music just soared through her. When she closed her eyes, she could see Pierre smiling at her, his body moving as the wind itself, handsome. She remembered when he’d said goodbye that night. It was as if it were just yesterday when he’d gone out to defend her, to hunt for her.

  She remembered his teasing smile of wicked things to come later that night, and then she saw him holding something. It was her baby, the one she’d lost. He held him tight, staring down at him. I now have something from both of you. I will take care of him. I promise, he whispered to her as he turned, leaving her.

  “No!” Amber jumped up from the tub. Water splashed onto the floor. They couldn’t be gone, but she knew they had passed over and that they would not be back. Amber threw the headphones across the room, and the sound of shattering glass from her mates’ dropped glasses broke the silence as they ran to get to her. Tears ran down her face. She shook, she pulled her knees up to her body and rocked back and forth, watching the candles as her mates burst into the room and checked the bathroom.

  Chapter Five

  “What’s wrong?” Lux got down on his knees, brushing her tears away.

  “He was here with our baby. Pierre was here,” she whispered, gasping for breath. “He came to say goodbye. He said he’ll take care of our son. That he wasn’t alone.” She watched Lux lower his head, tears slipped down his face. He pulled her into his arms, soaking wet, and held her close.

  “At least he has him and they are not alone.” Lux picked her, up carrying her out of the bathroom to the bed. He laid her down in the middle. Liam crawled on one side and Lux on the other. They held her, petting her, soothing her. She looked up and noticed Otis hugging Lux’s back, rubbing his shoulders and arms.

  “It was so real Lux, his smile and his love. I wish you could have seen him. He was so at peace.” Amber whispered, staring at him.

  Liam hugged her from behind. “I think he was telling the both of you it’s okay.

  He understands that you two were meant to be.” Liam looked at Lux.

  “I think you’re right. I’ve felt guilty I was here instead of him, but now I know I was supposed to be here with you.” Lux leaned in, kissing her lips softly. Amber started to giggle and couldn’t stop.

  He pulled back, frowning down at her. “I don’t think my kisses are funny.” Amber nodded down at his chest, laughing. He looked down and saw what she was laughing at. He smiled as he picked up some of the clinging bubbles, putting them on her nose. “Looks like I need to take a bath. Care to join me?” he asked, grinning down at her.

  “You three go ahead, I’m going to make contact with your second and get this plan into motion.” Liam hopped out of the bed, looking down at his soaked clothes and laughed. “I’ll call down and get clean sheets and blankets also. And, baby, I have a surprise for you when you get out of tub.” He smirked as he walked around the bed, picking up his phone to make the phone calls.

  Otis slipped off the bed and stripped, walking into the bathroom. Lux got up and stripped too, watching her as he slowly removed his t-shirt.

  Amber sucked in her breath. She never got tired of looking at Lux’s naked body.

  His muscles rippled, his biceps had to be at least ten inches around and his abs, oh God!

  She groaned as he slowed unzipped his jeans and his cock popped out. He wore no shorts. Her insides shivered as he pushed the jeans down his huge muscular legs. She glanced up and saw the familiar evil smile on his face, knowing what he was doing to her. She got up on her knees, smiling.

  Two could play this game. She exposed one of her breasts as he watched, lowering one hand down to her spread legs and slipping two fingers into her pussy. She moaned as she slowly pushed her fingers in and out of her pussy, watching as his eyes lit up. Fire ran through her body as he cupped his cock, slowly stroking it as he watched her.

  “If you two keep that up, I’m not going to get anything done, Lux, move it to the bathroom please,” Liam growled, his hand carefully over the phone.

  Amber laughed, removing her hands from her body and strolled past Liam, rubbing her hand across his covered cock as she moved past him. She swayed her hips a little more than normal when he growled. Lux followed her into the bathroom. Otis lay in the tub, his eyes full of lust, as he helped her into the warm water. Lux stepped in next, pulling her into his arms so that she was facing him.

  “You’re a bad girl, baby.” Lux nipped at her breast ring, pulling it with his teeth while staring up at her. “Otis’s going to have to punish you, baby.” He pulled her up over his shoulder, her ass stuck up in the air. She heard the first smack come down on her ass. With water on her ass, and having been spanked earlier, the first smack made her jump, but it also sent a charge to her pussy. Lux separated her legs with his hands as Otis aimed a smack at her pussy lips, which sent her clit into spasms. She groaned as another three slaps struck her pussy.

  “She’s wet and ready,” Lux mumbled, pushing his fingers into her pussy. He pulled them out, and then slowly lowered her on to his cock.

  “Damn it, Lux I’m all healed now. You don’t need to take it so slow.” She moaned.

  Lux smiled and rammed his cock into her pussy. He held her tight as he stood up, holding her. She wrapped her legs around his waist as she Otis stepped up behind her. Lux opened her ass cheeks as Otis’s cock pushed into her. Their hands and mouths reached every part of her body as they teased her slowly, only to stop when she was close to coming, making her wait.

  “Please I need ...” She pleaded, pulling her mouth away from Lux’s. Her head fell back against Otis’s chest. They both grabbed one side of her neck, holding her as they picked up the speed, slamming into her. She was so full and she loved it. She felt her body reaching towards its pinnacle when Lux stroked down with one hand and grabbed her clit, pinching it.

  She whimpered her release as both of them came inside her. They slid out of her gently. Then Lux reached around and turned on the shower.

  “What the hell?” She jumped out of the way and into Lux’s arms. He laughed at her as he turned the faucet, making the water warmer. “That was so not nice. Remember, payback is a bitch.” She grinned at him, reaching for the shampoo, but Otis grabbed it out of her hands and began to wash every inch of her body. By the time he was done, she was all hot again, her body needing relief, but they pulled her out of the tub and dried her body off.

  “I need more!” She moaned as they touched her everywhere, drying her. Otis picked her up, carrying her into the bedroom, where the bed linens had been changed and Liam lay naked on the bed waiting for her. She smiled at him as Otis laid her down on the bed, grabbing one arm and cuffing it to the railing of the bed. Liam grabbed the other wrist, doing the same thing. Liam smiled down at her and reached under the bed, pulling out a box. Amber looked at the box, waiting.

  “I’m going to put your headphones on now, Amber. Then I’m going to blindfold you,” Otis whispered into her ear. Her favorite CD that she had been listening to before in the tub was playing. The music soaked into her body, relaxing her, when she felt the softest touch on her nipple.

  It wasn’t a hand, she couldn’t even smell it. It circled around her nipple then over to the other one, as she felt her legs being pulled apart. Her legs were pushed up so that her knees were bent, opening her pussy to their view. Then something warm was down on her pussy lips, pulling at her ring. Fur rubbed against her legs, and she shook. One of her mates had shifted into his wolf form. His nose pushed into her pussy as his tongue followed. His tongue was huge as it slipped inside of her, licking all her juices.

  Otis took off her headphones. “Relax listen to the music.” He placed the music back over her ears.

  How the hell was she supposed to concentrate on the music? Then the music changed and on came “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk,” another one of her favorite songs. Her body swayed to the music, the clamps squeezed her nipples and she cringed as her song continued. Warm fingers put a clamp on her clit and attached something to her, pulling the clamps tight. She was lifted from the waist and something cold was put around her and wrapped around in the front until she heard it latch. She shivered as the cold metal landed on her stomach. The flogger came down on her breast sending any thought about the music out the window.

  Her body arched up as the second blow came down on her other breast. Her already tender pussy lips burned as the flogger struck again.

  Something cold dripped onto her breast. The ice cube traced her nipple and then the other one. Her body shook as the ice slowly trailed down towards her pussy. They pushed the ice cube into her pussy, but her pussy burned. The ice melted, dripping water out of her. But two tongues licked and laved up all the water as another ice cube was put into her pussy.

  They untied her, pulling her forward into Liam’s lap. She could smell him as he pushed his cock into her pussy from behind. At the same time, he reached down releasing the clit clamp, sending her body spiraling.

  “Oh, my God!” She screamed as he released one of her breast clamps, then the next one. Every nerve in her body was singing. He removed the blindfold and headphones, but music still played in the background.

  Otis leaned down, sucking her clit as Lux pushed his cock into Otis’s ass. His eyes were smiling at her as he reached down, grabbing Otis’s cock and pumped it at the same time as Liam pushed into her. Otis’s mouth sucked her clit, Liam’s hands reached up, grabbed her arms and brought them around his neck as she held on. He pumped into her. He reached around her and squeezed and pinched her breast.

  “Liam I need to come ...” She moaned.

  “Not yet, baby,” he whispered into her ear.

  Otis pulled hard on her clit ring. She yelped, trying to squirm away, but they wouldn’t let her. Otis grabbed her one leg as his other hand slipped under her and he pushed his fingers into her ass.

  “Now, Liam!” Lux growled. Liam and her mates shifted to their beast form, stretching her. She screamed as she flew. Her body sang its pleasure. Otis growled, biting her clit and sending additional tremors through her body. She felt Otis’s come spray on her leg. Lux and Liam growled as they both came at the same time sending another orgasm through her body.

  Otis pulled back first, smiling up at her and kissing her lips. Lux pulled out of his ass. Liam still held on to her, kissing her neck and then shifting back. Lux and Otis went into the bathroom to clean up as Liam pulled the box out again and placed it onto her lap.

  “Open it. I had it flown in this afternoon.” She opened the box and noticed a different school jacket, but it was identical to the one that had burned in her cabin. “When mine was missing, my father bought me this one to replace the other one. I want you to have it,” he said, kissing her neck and holding her. The tears ran down her face. She held the coat up, smelling it. It was him. She could smell him on it. She closed her eyes, hugging the jacket.

  “This is ... Oh, Liam thank you. This means so much to me.” She cried. He turned her on his lap. “I called Mom and told her what happened and asked if she could send it to me. She sent it in the plane that arrived earlier today.”

  “I also have something for you,” Otis said, coming in with another box. He handed it to her, sitting on the bed next to her. She shook as she opened it. It wasn’t a hat. It was a baby blanket. “It was mine as a baby. I thought the next baby could have it.” He looked up at her face. She grabbed him, hugging and kissing him.

  Amber heard Lux clear his throat. “I have something for you too.” He handed her another box and sat down next to them on the bed. She opened it. Inside was another teddy bear, old and missing an eye. “I told Mother what happened and asked if we could have Pierre’s bear. She agreed and sent it on the same plane.”

  Amber was sobbing now, and she didn’t care. These gifts came from the heart. “I have no words. This means so much to me, thank you!” she whispered, looking at all her mates as her stomach growled. They laughed. Liam helped her get up.

  “I’ll order us some room service. We have to keep your strength up for the rest of the night.” Liam gave her an evil smile. She just laughed, setting her prized possessions in her bag with her computer that hadn’t burned because it had been in the truck.

  The next day when Amber woke she was alone in the bed. She rolled over and winced because she was sore. All three of them had made love to her again last night, twice. The last time Lux had rolled over, pulling her body on top of his, and she had fallen asleep on his chest.

  Stretching, she looked at the clock, “Shit!” Again, they had let her sleep too late. It was eleven in the morning. Hopping out of bed, she made her way to the bathroom and saw that she was completely alone, which was strange since she knew her mates wouldn’t leave her by herself. Grabbing the bathrobe off the hook in the bathroom, she slipped it on and opened the hotel door to their room. Sure enough, her three guards stood there.

  “Oh, hello. Do you know where my mates are?” she asked, looking at the closet one.

  “They said they would be back at twelve and to let you sleep, but if you should get up, you could call your father and Helena.”

  Amber frowned, nodding. She walked back into the room, closing the door. I can call my father and Helena, I have their permission! This didn’t sit well with her, but she was willing to give a little since they had done so much for her last night. Hopping in the shower, she knew she was hungry when her stomach growled loudly.

  Amber got dressed, and called Helena in her room. “Hey Helena, I was wondering if you would like to meet me in the dining room for some lunch. I’m starving.”

  She heard the other woman sigh. “I’m not allowed to leave this room, unless I come up there with my guards. We could order room service though, and make sure we charge huge amounts to your father.” She laughed and Amber joined her.

  “Sounds good to me. We can talk about my wedding. I would like an opinion on something.”

  “Oh, my God! Okay, hold on. I’ll be right there!” She screamed into the phone, and then slammed it down in her ear. Amber laughed, lighting the fire with a flick of her wrist. When she went to the desk to get the menu, she saw a note addressed to her.

  Opening it up she read it.

  Baby,

  We went to make the last plans for our trap. Hopefully by tonight we’ll have the people that are hurting you. If all goes well, we’ll celebrate. So, if we’re not back in time for lunch, I will call you. We left a package for you to wear tonight. It’s under the desk. Sorry that we were not there to wake you up properly, but we will make it up to you tonight, we promise.

  Love you, Lux

  Amber hugged the note, putting it in her bag of priceless things. She grabbed the box under the desk and sat on the bed, just as Helena came strolling in.

  “What do you have there?” She asked, sitting beside her on the bed.

  “My mates left me another present and a note. They didn’t leave without saying goodbye.” Amber smiled up at her.
