Rescued By An Alpha, Complete Set (28 page)

Candela clapped her hands. "I can't wait. I'll be able to shoot my own kills."

"Right, you got it; that's the whole purpose of this training. It's for you to be able to survive in the jungle on your own if you should be in such a situation."

CHAPTER EIGHT

"I think it's time we started to think about where we want to live. I have enough money saved up, so we could afford to buy a house now," Serena suggested to Tom. "I'd like to settle down somewhere here in Paris. We both have good jobs, and should be able to afford it."

"Let's go house hunting on the weekend," Tom said.

"Good idea. I'm looking forward to that," Serena said.

When the weekend came, they went around looking at houses. They found a few addresses they might be interested in. After looking at several over a couple of days, they found one they both liked, and decided to settle for that one.

"It is an older house, but with a few alterations, we should be able to make the house look more modern," Tom said.

"Yeah, that sounds good. I like the feel of the house; I can see it has potential," Serena agreed.

The house was in a nice suburb of Paris, not too far from where they worked. They were excited. Tom got busy drawing up some designs to make the house better and more modern. After working on the drawings for a while, he showed them to Serena. "What do you think?" Tom said.

"That looks great, and with the bathroom renovated, the house will be like new. But don't you think we should move in as soon as the settlement of the house is final? Then we can do the renovations one room at the time. We aren't used to so much space anyway, so we won't miss one room if we close it down for renovations," Serena said.

"Yes, I think we should do that. Then I can work on the renovations in my spare time and get it finished a lot sooner," Tom agreed.

"I can't wait. Just think! We'll soon own a house, have it all to ourselves, and our parents can come for a visit and stay with us."

"I want you all to myself first before the family comes for a visit." Tom took her in his arms and gave her a long, passionate kiss.

Serena ran up the stairs to the apartment, anxious to tell Violet the good news, but sad to have to leave her.

"Violet, we found a house we like and are just waiting for the settlement to go through. I'm very excited, but also sad to leave you and this apartment. You've been such a good friend to me. I'll miss you," Serena said.

"I'll miss you too. I hope we can still keep in contact. Any time you need some female company and someone to confide in, I'm always going to be here for you," Violet said.

"That is good to know." Serena had tears in her eyes.

It didn't take them long to get settled into their new house with the few bits of furniture they had bought so far. They were in the process of putting sheets on their brand new big double bed when they both looked at each other and smiled. Tom laughed and threw the pillow up in the air, then got up on the bed and jumped around. He pulled Serena up there with him.

"Our very own bed! I think we better try it out," Tom said as he took her in his arms. He pushed her down on the bed, where they rolled around, kissing, laughing and in high spirits. "I'm so happy we finally have our own place and we're together again. I want you with me always," Tom said.

"Yes, it's wonderful to be together. We waited long enough!" Serena said.

Tom couldn't control his excitement, and planted small kisses all over Serena's face. He gently bit her earlobes and started to undress her while she laughed and giggled. He pulled his T-shirt off and pressed his muscular body close to her soft curves. The feeling of his hot skin against hers spurred Serena on. He cupped her breast and let his thumbs circle around her nipples.

She moaned as her nipple hardened with excitement at his touch. He sucked her nipples one at the time, sending an electric current through her body, activating a hot, tingling fire between her legs. He gently let his hand trail down between her breasts all the way down under her little panties. He let his finger glide into her wet opening. He kissed her tenderly and let his tongue touch hers as his finger circled her swollen clit.

An overwhelming sensation moved through her body, taking her breath away. He pulled off her panties, and in a swift action, his jeans fell away. Serena looked down on his hard cock and reached out to touch it. She gently let her fingers circle around it, then cupped his balls, stroking, kissing, wrapping her warm lips around it.

He let out a loud groan and entangled his fingers in her long hair, moaning with pleasure. He pushed her back onto the bed, lying close to her, his warm hands tracing over her body down between her legs again. He pushed her legs apart and let his tongue brush over her pulsating clit. The intensity built up in her to the point of exploding.

He got up on his knees, slipped on the protection, and thrust inside her. A wonderful tingling pleasure moved through her body, shaking her to the core as she orgasmed. A wild look of desire sparkled in his eyes as he thrust in and out of her, building up the sexual tension in her again.

She moaned and called out, "Oh Tom, this is so good, don't stop!" She felt another pleasurable wave of orgasm move through her body.

He uttered a loud growl as he released the flow inside her. Shaking and breathless, he collapsed on top of her.

"Wow, that was amazing." Serena said after she calmed down.

"Yes, fantastic. You are amazing. This is a time to remember, when we first slept together here in our own bed." Tom smiled as he stroked her hair and bent over to kiss her.

Philippe was back in Paris after spending a year in the jungle with Chan and his pride. He has brought Candela with him; they were inseparable now. Chan had made a full-on training schedule for them. They trained hard over the last year, so they were both very fit now. They could climb trees and jump from one tree to another like monkeys. They learned to shoot with a bow and arrow and hit whatever they aimed at. They were so grateful to Chan; they had enjoyed learning from him and had a lot of fun along the way.

Philippe wanted to catch up with Tom and Serena and made a phone call to them. "Hello, Tom, I'm back home again. I got your phone number from Violet. She told me you and Serena moved into a house. I'd like to catch up with you guys again and share all I learned from Chan."

"Philippe, hello, what a surprise to hear from you! Have you been out there in the den all this time? I would love to catch up with you. Why don't you come for a visit tonight?"

"Yes, that will be great. Would you mind if I bring my girlfriend, Candela? I met her in the jungle, and we're pretty close now."

"Wow, we have a lot to talk about. I'm happy for you. We would love to see both of you."

"You better give me your address."

"Yes, we bought an old style house and I'm busy doing a lot of renovating. I want to give the house a more modern look."

Tom gave Philippe the address. He was looking forward to hear all about Philippe's experiences in the jungle and how everyone in the den was doing.

"Serena, Philippe and his girlfriend are coming for a visit tonight," Tom called out.

"Oh, good, but what a surprise. I'm looking forward to seeing them and hearing their stories from out there in the jungle," Serena called back. But anxiety made her belly ache.

Philippe and Candela arrived at Tom and Serena's house. He took his coat off and extended a hand to shake Tom's. "Meet my girlfriend Candela. We met out in the jungle near Chan's den."

"Hello, Candela." Tom and Serena gave her a hug and made her feel welcome.

"Come and sit down. We've been looking forward to your visit," Serena said as she showed them into their living room. They all sat down in the comfortable lounge chairs.

"What would you like to drink? Red wine or white wine?" Tom offered them.

"I would like a glass of white wine please," Candela said.

"Yes, I'll have the same," Philippe said.

Tom served the drinks, and Serena brought in some cheese and crackers and put them on the coffee table. Tom and Serena were delighted to see Philippe again. Soon they were all laughing and joking, and the atmosphere seemed almost electric between them. Tom and Philippe shared many of their experiences of how hard it sometimes had been, but also how much fun it was.

"We are both very fit now after all the training Chan has put us through. I can understand why you look at Chan as your hero. He is amazing," Philippe said.

"Yes, I miss him, and hope to go back to visit him again one day. I have never forgotten all the discipline of working out every day he taught me. I still practice," Tom said.

"So Candela, what is the story with you? How did you happen to run into Philippe out there in the jungle?" Serena asked. She smiled warmly at the girl, surprised at herself for not being as jealous as she'd expected.

"Oh, I was lost. I managed to escape from some wild brute who had taken a group of us tourists prisoners in their camp. We were tied up and pushed into a little hut. I ran all night, and luckily, Philippe found me when I was hopelessly lost."

"That must have been an awful experience," Serena said.

"Yes, it was pretty scary, but I was happy to be rescued by an alpha." Candela then told them all about her horrible experiences with the wild thugs. Tom and Serena were shocked to hear about their actions. Serena could just imagine how she must had felt, after having had a similar experience with the pirates.

"I'm fighting fit now, in a way I would never have been if I hadn't run into Philippe. Thanks to Chan, I have learned to defend myself."

"So now I'm the only unfit one of the four of us," Serena said.

"Don't worry, we will teach you," they all said at the same time. They all burst out laughing. "It'll be fun," Candela added.

"I'm sure it will, but let me take it slow in the beginning." Serena said she had never paid much attention to fitness. Her main interests had always been to develop her creativity.

"Franco is still here investigating, and I would like to fill you in on what's going on with the situation of the mansion. Why don't we meet for lunch tomorrow and we can talk about it?" Tom suggested.

"Yeah, okay that sounds good. I would like to catch up on a few things?" Philippe said.

It was getting late, and Tom and Serena had to get up for work the next morning. It had been a nice evening and they were all happy to have met up again.

CHAPTER NINE

While they sat at an outdoor cafe down by the river Seine, waiting for their lunch, Tom started to tell Philippe about the situation with the mansion he worked on. "Franco is still here investigating the whole thing. The mansion is nearly ready, and we need to move in on them soon before they disappear underground. We discovered that they hang out in a big old warehouse."

"Is someone going to do something about catching them?" Philippe asked.

"Franco and Maxi from the SIS are working on something. I'm not sure what they want to do about it, but I can find out. I took Franco to the building site of the mansion to point out the men I recognized from Carlos Fontana's mansion. I think Franco and Maxi sneaked into the warehouse and placed some electronic devices to listen to what they say. They brought a couple of technicians with them."

"If there is anything I can do to help, let me know," Philippe said.

"Okay, that's good to know. Franco has hinted to me that if I'm willing to hide up in the beams of the warehouse with my bow and arrow, he might have use for me. Nothing has been planned yet. I'm also still thinking it over; I'm not sure it's for me. I'm more of an artist than a detective."

"How do you think Chan would have handled the situation?" Philippe said. "They may come after you if Carlos Fontana is after revenge. Chan would've stopped them. I think they need to be stopped. I'm willing to help you, and together, I'm sure we can catch those crooks."

"I suppose you're right, and if we're a team, it might be easier. We could cover each other," Tom replied.

"Yes, let's team up and use the skills Chan taught us. I'll get us some black clothes to wear so we'll blend right in." They started to make plans and decided to let Franco and Maxi in.

"I'll contact Franco tomorrow and tell him our plans, and find out where the warehouse is," Tom said, eager now to get into action again.

"I'll get hold of a black van for us," Philippe promised.

"Yeah, that'll be good," Tom answered.

The next day, Tom phoned Franco and told him about their plans. "Why don't you both come over to my place and we can talk about it?" he said. They drove over to his place and let him in on a few more details.

"Maxi found a meeting place for us where we can keep all our things. We stuck all the pictures up on a board of the men we are after and of the places they may hide. It's a big room on top of an old building, sort of hidden away between trees and bushes. We will go there tonight, so you can put your plans to the rest of the team."

Philippe drove them to the address Franco gave them. The team was happy to see them.

"We are putting up electronic devices and small video cameras in the different meeting places where the crooks hang out. Their main meeting place is in a big warehouse, where you should be able to get a good view of them from up on top of the beams. You shouldn't have any problems getting away through the roof with your athletic skills."

"What we want you guys to do, and this is important to remember, we just want you to injure them, not kill them. Then we will move in on them and tie them up," Maxi said.

"Okay, we should be able to do that," Tom said.

"Yes, no worries," Philippe said. He glanced at his former rival in love and smiled broadly at him. In spite of everything with Serena, he couldn't help liking Tom.

Maxi then told them about all the cons and pros they could expect to come up against and what to watch out for. He thanked them for wanting to help out to make the town and country a safer place to live for the average person.
