The Keeper (7 page)

             
Jed was dying here.  He had his cock pressed so far into the bed it was going to leave a permanent imprint in the mattress.  He needed to be inside her now.  He needed to make her his now.  He was watching her look at Donovan with a mixture of wonder and lust.  Strangely enough, he wasn’t the least bit jealous.  Sure, they had shared before, but it had never been with a woman they both lov..  A growl broke free before he could stop it. 
He watched as a smile crossed Donovan’s lips.

             
“Baby, if he doesn’t get inside you, we are going to have an uncontrollable beast in bed with us.”  Donovan said it calmly, but he had never seen Jed like this and it was a little scary. 

             
Lex didn’t know what to do so she just nodded and prayed that would be enough.  She looked back to Jed and pulled him over her. 
While keeping his weight off her with his arms h
e moved one knee between hers and urged her legs apart.  His eyes still on hers he dragged his tongue from her collarbone to her nipple and sucked it into his mouth.  With his tongue he pressed it against the roof of his mouth and pulled as his thigh rubbed against her clit.  She arched as lights flashed in front of her eyes and something that sounded like a scream left her mouth. 

             
Donovan was thankful that Silas had gone to bed.  He would have heard that scream and come running.  The last thing he wanted was for Lex’s daddy to come barging through her bedroom door. 
Speaking of doors.  Grady was outside fixing Lex’s.  He had to have heard it too, but Grady was a
kindred.  He
knew what was going on at all times
.  He was able to feel people’s emotions
.  Sometimes it was downright freaky.  Donovan would bet money Grady knew who was in bed with Lex and why.  No.  There
was nothing to worry about there.  He decided to quit
thinking about anything but
the writhing beauty in bed with him. 

             
Jed moved his other leg between Lex’s and brushed the head of his cock against her wet center.  He looked down as her legs wrapped around his hips, seeming
ly
of their own free will.  He looked back up to Lex who was watching him through her long black lashes.  Her face was flushed and her lips were swollen and glistening from lu
st and his kiss.  Donovan was l
ying stretched next to her plucking her other nipple with his fingertips.  Jed slowly pushed his hips and stopped with just the tip inside her.  He had been wanting her for so long-dreaming of this for so long-that he almost came on the spot.  Once he thought he had himself under control, he pressed into her a little more until he felt the thin barrier.  He knew this was going to hurt her and he paused, pulled out a little bit
and l
ooked at Donovan who gave just a slight nod of his head as it lowered to her breast, fangs extended. 
It wouldn’t stop the pain, but it would bring her to instant orgasm.  He was hoping the pleasure would be
enough to block some of the discomfort
. 
Yes,
Donovan
had wanted to be inside her the first time he bit her, but he didn’t want her to hurt any more than Jed did.

             
Lex was panting.  She was watching Jed as Donovan’s tongue curled around her nipple just before he sucked it into his mouth and bit.  Her body convulsed, pulling Jed into her.  There was a flash of pain and then the most exquisite feeling of rightness as he filled her completely.  Her body was pulsing around his cock and she couldn’t control the moans that escaped her.  Donovan’s fangs were still embedded in her breast and all she could do was hold on for the ride-one hand tangled in Donovan’s
hair holding him to her and the other grasping Jed’s bicep.  “Oh…Oh…my…please…”  She didn’t know what she was asking for-barely registered that she was the one begging. 

             
Donovan’s bite seemed to help any pain, but Jed hadn’t counted on her instant orgasm squeezing him so hard that he had to grit his teeth and pr
ay to keep from coming on the spot
.  Damn, she was tight. 

             
Jed remained still until Lex’s body started to relax around him.  Realizing that he had closed his eyes and not wanting to miss a minute of
her pleasure he opened them
to find Donovan’s red gaze locked on the place where he and Lex were joined.  Donovan looked up at him then and released her breast, licking the bite to seal it. 

             
 
 
Jed nodded his head in thanks and Donovan smiled.  They both looked at Lex who had her head back and her eyes closed.  Donovan kissed her neck and slowly worked his way to her ear again.  “Honey?”  He nuzzled her ear.

“Mmmm?”  Lex couldn’t form a single word at the moment.  Her body felt a bit like quivering gelatin.  She was pretty sure she would never be able to move again. 

Donovan licked the shell of her ear.  “Open your eyes and watch.”  He kissed her behind the ear again. 

Lex did as she was told.  Jed was above her.  His beautiful body tense and hot.  She pressed her ankles into the small of his back, letting him know she was okay. 

That little movement was all the encouragement Jed needed.  He
pulled back and pushed in again
slowly, determined to go easy.  He didn’t want to hurt her, but after the second stroke, Lex was raising her hips to meet his thrusts and he was unable to hold back any longer.  Five long years he had waited for this and nothing he had imagined-and he had imagined a lot-compared to the feel of her
warmth surrounding him.  He slammed into her over and over, thankful for the slick wetness from her first climax.  He wished he could last forever, but he felt that tingle spread from the base of his spine, felt his balls draw tight.  He called her name over and over as he came inside her.  He bent his head to her shoulder and
,
unable to wait any longer
,
bit into her soft skin.  Her bo
dy clenched him tight again and again as she screamed and threw her head back.  He growled low into her shoulder.  She was his.  Alexis Martin was finally his. 

Chapter Six

Donovan watched as the wolf faded from Jed’s eyes and the
man’s
face relaxed.  Donovan smiled.  Jed’s wolf was at peace for the first time in nearly five years.  Soon, Donovan knew, he would be able to say the same for the beast inside him.  He was older than Jed by a few hundred years and had more control over his urges than most of his kind, but Lex was too much of a temptation for anyone.  Factor in the fact that she was his mate, and he was lucky he hadn’t gone mad. 

Jed felt Donovan watching him.  He gently pulled his teeth from Lex’s shoulder and pushed himself off of her to look at her face.  She was flushed from her breasts
up, her lips were tilted into a smile and she looked relaxed.  It was a look he had never seen on her face before.  Lex was always strung a little tighter than most.  The woman didn’t know the meaning of the word relax.  Jed turned and smil
ed at Donovan just as Lex’s hand reached up and pulled Donovan down for a kiss.  Jed slid out of Lex and moved to her side. 

Lex couldn’t beli
eve this was happening to her.  She had wanted both men for so long, but never dreamed this was even a possibility.  Donovan’s lips were no longer brushing over hers.  He was leaning over her, just inches from her face.  He looked more dangerous now than Lex had ever seen him and it was really turning her on.  There had to be something wrong with her. 

Donovan could see the immediate change in Lex’s eyes.  He knew he looked a bit scary.  It was the reason he generally compelled women during sex.  He was glad it didn’t work on her because he would have never known the look she gave him now.  It was complete acceptance.  Donovan pulled Lex on top of him.  He noticed the look of fear on her face.  He knew it wasn’t him, but the fact that she had never done this before.  “Don’t think so much, baby.”  He lifted her over the head of his cock, rubbing against her clit.  “Just feel.” 

Lex threw her head back and focused only on the sensations running through her body.  She slowly lowered herself down.  Feeling every bit as full as she had with Jed.  She wondered for a minute if her being with Jed first bothered Donovan, but when she looked down at him, she saw nothing but
satisfaction in his red ringed eyes.  She held his gaze and started to move.  He sucked in a breath and she realized how much control he was exercising with her.  That wasn’t what she wanted.  She wanted him as far gone as Jed had been.  She had read somewhere that men liked it when a woman…

“Lex…”  Donovan’s strangled voice sounded like a plea.  It was all the encouragement she needed.  She gently cupped his sac and pressed a finger to the area just behind it. 

Jed was watching Lex play with fire.  He had never, in all the years he had known Donovan, seen him on the brink of losing control.  Jed debated for just a second helping the vamp out, but in less than the blink of an eye, Donovan had switched their positions and was pinning Lex’s hands to the bed by her wrists. 

Donovan looked at Jed.  His eyes a little wild, he was sure.  “Help a friend out, would you?”

Jed nodded taking Lex’s wrists, while Donovan knelt between her thighs and grasped her hips with both hands. 
He pulled her hips high off the bed and drove into her again and again.  For just a second, Jed worried about the aggressiveness with which Donovan took her, but her moans and gasps of pleasure put Jed’s mind at ease.  He slid a hand down her ribcage, brushing the side of her breast as he watched Donovan’s face.  Donovan nodded giving Jed permission to touch her.

If a woman could die of pleasure, Lex surely thought she had just a few minutes to live.  She couldn’t move.  Her hands were held firmly above her head and her hips were held off the bed when she felt Jed’s hair brush her breast.  Her nipple tightened to the point of pain just before his teeth brushed
over it.  That was all it took.  Her skin felt stretched tight over her body just before the waves of pleasure washed over her.  She felt Jed release her hands and she was being lifted from the mattress. 

Donovan lifted her to him and sat back on his heels.  He slid her hips back and forth over him as he felt her tight sheath pull him deeper as it contracted around him.  Try as he might, he could hold back no more.  With one arm holding her securely to him
, he tipped her head back and licked a path over her neck before biting down.  He could taste the wolf’s effect on her blood.  He was holding her as tightly as he could without hurting her, but her hips moved of their own accord, her pussy milking him hard.  Lex called out his name over and over again.  Donovan’s body drew tight and exploded.  Releasing her neck, he called her name as he came inside her. 
 

Jed was only able to stare.  He should be jealous as hell, but there was no room for that.  He felt what Lex had felt, was able to feel what Donovan had experienced.  He must have missed that part in the Book of Immortals.  Usually wolf mates could communicate telepathically, but as far as he knew it was something that did not cross species. 

Donovan could hear Jed in his head. 
He licked Lex’s neck, sealing her marks and looked at Jed over her shoulder. 
You can feel what I can feel?
  Hear what I think?

So it would seem. 
Jed looked down at his thick erection. 
There is no way she can handle anymore. 

“I think I get to decide what I can and can’t handle.”  She pulled Donovan to her lips and kissed him.  She raised herself off of Donovan and crawled out of the bed.  “I am going to take a shower if you two would like to join me.”  Her hips swayed of their own accord as she walked the short distance to the bathroom.  She felt different, powerful.  It took all her willpower not to run to the bathroom and look in the mirror. 

Both men watched as she moved across the room.  Donovan was the first to speak.  “I think we’ve created a monster.”

Jed shook his head, smiling, as Lex looked back over her shoulder at them and disappeared into the bathroom.  “No
, we’ve created the Keeper.”  Both men crawled out of bed and raced the short distance to the shower.  For the first time ever, Jed and Donovan were matched in speed.  Donovan looked at Jed with surprise.  Jed was looking at him the same way. 

Donovan took a deep breath.  He had always had a sense of smell better that a mortal’s, but not anywhere near that of the Jed’s.  He could smell Lex’s arousal stronger than he had ever been able to before, but he could also faintly smell something sweet. 

Jed knew what Donovan
smelled
. 
That’s Silas’ Cuban cigars.  He keeps them in a humidor in his office.
Jed and Donovan smiled at each other.

Lex listened to the spoke and unspoken conversation outside the shower as she soaped herself up and smiled, too.  They were like two little boys on Christmas morning. 

Donovan and Jed each pulled one of the shower doors open.  “Do we look like boys to you?”  Donovan asked as he stepped into the shower and scooped Lex up.  She instinctively wrapped her legs around his hips.
