“And how are you going to do that?”
“Didn’t you read the conference package sent to each of us? First, we all meet in a room where we each present our issues,” Ulfric said, “then we each have private time with the Dire Enterprises guy. That’s the time I can talk to him without Arald knowing what I’m saying.”
“How do you know he won’t insist on one of his goons being in the room with you?”
“Because last week I promised to faithfully follow the script he wrote for me in exchange for fewer attacks on members of my pack.”
“Yeah I did the same…not that I believe him.”
“I know. After I read the schedule, I realized why he gave me my script. Arald probably tried to convince somebody at Dire Enterprises to allow one of his goons to be in the room with me but was unsuccessful. That’s when it came to me, it was a perfect time to ask this guy to call Dr. Wallace and have all three of us on the line while I can tell Dr. Wallace what was really going on.”
“Okay, so you can do that. What do you need from me?”
“I’m thinking I should go first. Then when it’s your time, the man…oh hell, what’s his name…”
“Slate Valentin,” Ordovic said.
“How do you know?”
“Because Arald pulled me into a meeting with him this evening. I had to make up an excuse that my wife needed me, so I could leave to meet you.”
“I wonder why you and not me?” mused Ulfric.
“Oh, I don’t know. Maybe because he trusts you more than me. After all, my family has a long history of defying him,” said Ordovic.
“True. Makes sense. Okay, so I see and talk to Slate first and then when it’s your turn, you can verify everything I said about Arald.”
“Fine,” agreed Ordovic, “but what if something changes and you don’t get to talk to Wallace? How will I know? I mean, I don’t know what Arald has said about you or me to Slate, but maybe he won’t believe us? Maybe Wallace doesn’t care about us anymore now, since he may have a comfortable life and doesn’t have to work anymore.”
“Maybe, but I don’t think that’s true about Dire Enterprises. When I was at the hospital, I was able to use one of their computers to look up who this company wasand the stuff I found out was amazing. It’s too long to go into here but I believe…and I’m risking my life and my unborn pup’s life on it…that this is the best chance we have to end the misery we live with every day. Now, are you in?”
Chapter 24
Stretching before opening his eyes the next morning, Cody savored the delicious feeling of his mate’s body against his. He could feel the difference in himself.Oh, my gods, this is fucking amazing! I’ve forgotten how this feels…fuck, my mate is a miracle worker!Now he was looking forward to the day, and that hadn’t happened in a very long time. Wanting to play, he wiggled his ass against Dylon’s groin, seeking to force his mate’s morning hard-on between his cheeks. Giggling at his attempts, he moved closer until everything lined up perfectly.
“And what are you doing this morning, my pet?” Dylon’s sleep-roughened voice sent shivers down Cody’s spine.
“Ah-h-h, playing, sir,” Cody responded, now grinding his ass against the large cock nestled between his globes.
“Playing, hmm? Is that all you are doing, my pet?” Dylon asked.
“No, sir,”
“Then what else are you doing?”
“Trying to get you to fuck me, sir.”
“Why?”
“Because I need it, sir.”
Dylon pulled Cody tight to his body and began dry humping his mate’s ass. “Like this?”
Faint groans left Cody’s mouth before he said, “No, sir.”
“Like what, then, my pet?”
“I want your big beautiful cock pounding me so hard I will feel it tomorrow and then I want to come when you do, sir,” Cody said, whimpering.
