With the last of my strength, I called out, “Cum, Dino, fucking cum in my ass. Fill me up.” Dino grunted out like he was in pain as his fingers buried into my skin, and he growled out, slamming into me as his hot cum shot out, filling me just as I asked.
With all of us spent, we crashed onto the bed, gasping for breath, trying to regulate my rapidly beating heart. Dino’s arm snaked from behind me and circled my torso as he rested his head on my back, giving me small, sweet kisses in between his gulps of air. Duce crawled his way up to me, and I grabbed his glistening face, licking his lips open for a porno-style kiss, groaning in approval as I tasted myself all over.
Duce grabbed my face and stared deep into my eyes like he was about to tell me something important, like it was on the tip of his tongue. His eyes shuttered before they opened, and I could tell the moment was gone. He gave me a sweet kiss on the lips. “You are everything we could want and more, Cupcake.”
I replied with the only thing I could think of to lighten the mood and said, “Ditto.”
He smiled and rested his head on my breasts, sighing into them as he whispered more praises against my skin.
I held both of them, and I knew that this was going to be so much harder than I thought because I was falling for them, bit by bit, and it was getting harder to keep up the facade.
Chapter 22
Iusedtopridemyself for my own self-control, on my strength that I built up in that cage so long ago as a little scared boy, then this woman shows up and shakes up all my carefully crafted resolve.
Not only did I wolf out in front of her, but she amazed me even more by calming my beast of a wolf with ease. It shouldn't have been possible, she shouldn't have been able to calm my wolf, and yet everything about her made him at ease. Even now, I can feel my wolf sitting in the center of my mind, happy with the fact that she was still in the house, safe and taken care of.
The worst part was that I knew why my wolf was able to take over, why he was strong enough at that moment to overcome all of the mental shackles that I had placed on him. Something that I thought wasn't in the cards for me. It wasn't as noble as keeping the children safe from a panther shifter, no. It was because my wolf was desperate to protect his mate from someone he viewed as an intruder.
That smacked me over the head, realizing that Celine was my mate. It was something I was still trying to grasp.
My mind kept telling me it was impossible. That a wolf like mine didn't deserve to be blessed with a mate. I was a mangy, broken, deranged wolf and man. Beings like me didn't get the absolute blessings of having a mate to serve and protect. Men like me were meant for the outskirts of society. My mind replayed her being covered with blood when she got in the car, but her smile never dimmed. No, Celine didn't mind getting her hands dirty; that was her job, and she was good at it. So, why did I feel like she was of another higher class than me? Someone like me was not meant for someone like her.
I was prepared to let her go after our agreement, but seeing how the guys are all growing more and more attached to her, I realized it was not going to be so easy.
Celine was currently with Emma, preparing food with some of the other ladies of the crew. I almost laughed when Emma showed up this morning after breakfast, yanking Celine to her feet and telling her she was going to help. Celine tried to get out of it. She said how terrible she was at cooking, how she only knew how to make a few breakfast foods and mac and cheese from the box, yet Emma was not perturbed. She just shrugged and started calling her a sous chef.
I’ll never forget how Celine’s mouth dropped open, how she stammered out excuses to Emma’s deaf ears, how her head jerked towards the five of us, looking for help and finding none. Duce got up, and rubbed her shoulders like he was giving a mini massage as he convinced her it would be good for her to get to know some people outside of us. That it would help so she would be more comfortable at the party. She reluctantly agreed, giving us all a suspicious look before following Emma out the door.
Duce waived excitedly, but his jolly face fell as soon as the door shut. “What the fuck are we going to do, guys?”
Bricks lifted his hands.What do you mean? What's wrong?
Surprisingly, Dino spoke up to answer, “How will we convince her to stay here with us?” That one sentence shocked the shit out of me. Didn’t he want her out of here more than anyone? I guess saving his life changed something between them?That and all the racket they made last night with Duce.
Gears piped up, too. “We are also on a time crunch as I’m sure she’s prepared herself to leave as soon as the party is done.”
Duce sighed as he slumped onto the table. “That's why I called Emma this morning andsuggestedshe take her today. It was surprisingly easy, which means Emma is totally in love with her, too. We need to come up with a plan, fast.”
“You know she has a life that she probably wants to return to outside of this mission, right?” I knew that Duce was going to be pissy about what I said, but when all four of them turned to me with daggers in their eyes, I knew I was wrong.
Gears folded his hands together, elbows on the table as he asked harshly, “Are you going to be a hindrance in this endeavor, Rabid? Are you going to sit there and act like she doesn't affect you as well?”
Dino snorted out as he raised an eyebrow like a cocky little shit. “Affect? You mean how she fucking owned your wolf in a way that no one else ever has?”
Duce added from his slumped form, flicking at something on the table. “Or how your eyes track everything that she does.”
I glanced at Bricks for help, but he shrugged his shoulders and nodded towards the others, letting me know he agreed with them.
I scrubbed my hands against my face, tired, confused, and slightly annoyed at the whole thing. “Look, I'm just trying to be realistic. Do you really think she's going to want to give up a job she is obviously good at, one that has her jet-setting across the country, and I'm sure pays tons of money, for…for…”
“For what!?” Duce’s head snapped up, anger in his eyes as his chest puffed up, about to challenge me.
Dino focused on the table, his eyes narrowed as his hand on the table turned into a fist. Bricks looked off with a wistful expression, and Gears was still looking at me, his mouth turning up slightly on one side.
“I can only speak for myself, but I have no intention of preventing her from continuing her chosen profession.” Gears stated as the rest of the group faced him. “The way I see it, it’s a benefit to the Moon Raiders to have such a well-renowned assassin in our ranks. It makes us look stronger, so much stronger that it will prevent a lot of problems when we grow bigger.”
Dino threw up his hands as he groaned out, “Bigger?”
