Untamed Force (Force of Nature Series) (6 page)

“Then fucking act like it. Claim her or
I will.” Connor stomped away and Dallas lifted her into his arms. When she
moaned slightly his heart ached.

Dallas took her back to his home. He put
her on his bed and went to get a wet cloth. He’d hit her hard and knew she’d
been hurting when she woke. He wiped gently at the blood on her lip and hoped
she’d forgive him in the next several lifetimes. When she opened her eyes he
thought he’d be lucky if she gave him until hell froze over before she even
spoke to him.

“You hit me.”

He nodded, picked her up in his arms,
and took her to the bathroom.

“I am quite capable of walking. Put me
down please.”

“I’m running you a tub. Then I’m going
to help you bathe. I don’t want you to be angry with me.” She stiffened, but he
didn’t stop where he was going. “My sister says a bath can cure any kind of
hurts.”

“Then give her one. I wish to leave. Right
now.”

He didn’t answer her. When the water was
full enough, he turned it off and began to unbutton her blouse.

“What do you think you are doing?”

“You can’t bathe in your clothes. They’ll
get wet and you’ll have nothing to put back on.” He grinned. “Not that you’ll
need it for a while, but eventually you need something.”

She slapped at his hands and started to
button the thing back up. Dallas let her go so far then he took the two ends
and ripped it open. He nearly swallowed his tongue when he saw what she had on
under it. Running his fingers over the soft silk, he heard her breath catch. The
dark blue fabric barely held her in and her nipples were hard beneath it. He
leaned down and took one hard peak into his mouth.

“Dallas, you cannot.”

He lifted her onto the counter and broke
the clasp off her bra. Her breasts spilled out and into his hands. When she
leaned back on the counter he feasted on them. Licking one, then the other he
couldn’t decide which he wanted more so he lifted them together and took them
both. Her fingers lacing in his hair had him groaning. When she started to
unbutton his own shirt he told her to rip it and was satisfied when he heard it
tear and buttons bounce all over the bathroom.

He pulled her pants off with her panties
and shoes and stepped back. Christ, if there was anything more beautiful in the
world, he’d like to know what it was. But he couldn’t touch her just yet. “I
want you. Right now, I want to take you as mine. But if you don’t want me, now
would be the time to say so.” She was panting and her eyes had turned. “Stacy,
tell me you want me as much as I do you.”

“Yes,” she hissed at him, and he stepped
between her legs and took her mouth. When she whimpered he licked the sore and
felt as if his body snapped into place. His mate. Stacy really was his mate.

“Say it. Tell me you’re mine.” He opened
his pants and pulled them off. He stood before her naked and needy. “Say it,
Stacy. Tell me what we both know.”

“I’m your mate. I’ve waited for you for
so long. But—”

He cut her off by taking her mouth
again. As he picked her up, she wrapped her legs around his hips. With every
step he took her pussy rubbed against his cock. If she kept this up he’d be coming
over her and not in her. When he felt the bed touch his shins he laid them both
down and covered her.

“I would like nothing more than to make
slow love to you, but I need to claim you. I’ll try and make it good for you,
baby, but I’ve needed you for too long. Will you forgive me?”

“Please,” she begged him, and he felt a
calmness blanket him. Yes, he thought, he’d please her. She was his mate and
deserved it from him. Untangling her legs from his hips he stood near the bed. He
dropped to the floor and pulled her to the edge.

Without a word, he licked her from gate
to clit and felt her rise from the bed for more. Taking as much of her as he
could, Dallas felt his wolf calm too. He might just make it after all.

Loving her with his mouth, he reached up
and pulled on her nipples. When she cried out he nearly stood and entered her,
but if she came first he’d not hurt her as badly. When he felt her tighten
around him, her thighs grip his head, he lifted her hands and put them to her
breasts. She began squeezing them and pulling on her nipples as he had.

“Come for me, baby. Flood my mouth with
your come.” She arched up off the bed and screamed out her release. Even as he
lapped at her he wanted to bite.
But not yet,
his wolf said.
Fuck her
first then mark her.
As she came again he moved up her body, pulling her
with him. He had her in the center of the bed when he fisted his cock at her
entrance.

“It will hurt, love. I’m sorry, but it’ll
hurt.” She pulled his head down to hers and kissed him. He knew that she had to
taste herself on his mouth and her moan confirmed it.

“Take me. Mark me, please.” She wrapped
her feet around his thighs and lifted her pussy up to his cock. “Please, Dallas,
fill me.”

He couldn’t wait any longer. As soon as
he entered her sheath she cried out again, this time he knew from pain. He
stilled. As much as he wanted to pound into her he knew that he’d better pull
out and try again. When she moved he moaned, and when she smiled he nearly
came.

“Baby, I can’t hurt you anymore, but if
you move like that again I won’t be able to be a gentleman and pull out.”

“You pull from my body now, Dallas Force,
and I will hurt you.” She moved again and he couldn’t help moving too. “More. Please
give me more.”

He tried to be slow, but she wouldn’t
have it. When she nuzzled his neck and licked his vein he nearly let go. But he
needed to feel her come again. When he leaned down and took her breast into his
mouth she moved her lips over his throat. Suddenly, she nipped at him he felt
his climax race through him. He did the only thing he could do, he bit her. And
her biting him had him fall over the edge.

He dropped his weight down onto her. She
giggled and he looked up at her. She was the most beautiful person he’d ever
seen and she was his.

“Giggling is not kind, love. You should
know that wolves take lovemaking very seriously and a giggling female isn’t
very nice.” He kissed her quickly before he turned to his back, taking her with
him. She sat up over him and his cock surged to life again.

“You are not finished, are you? Oh
Dallas, that was so much fun that we have to do it again.” She rolled her body
over his until her pussy was over his hardening cock. “Show me how to pleasure
you the way you did me with my mouth. I loved that.”

His cock went from semi-hard to
straining to be where she wanted it in seconds. He thought he could reason with
her about taking her virginity and being sore. But she scooted down his body
and took him into her mouth.

“Christ,” he bellowed. Her mouth was hot
and wet and he nearly came again when she gagged around him. Guiding her to
where she couldn’t hurt either of them, he told her what he needed. “Lick me
from the root to the tip. That’s it. When you take me into your mouth, you
should—Christ, Stacy, that’s it.”

She pulled him deep in her throat and
swallowed. His cock surged up and he felt her touch his balls. His climax was
close again and he came when she cupped his balls into her hot hand. It was
over much too quickly, but he was sure he’d have died if she had much more in the
way of lessons. Pulling her up to his chest he flipped her to her back and
settled between her thighs.

“You look like you could eat me alive.”
Her voice was rough and sexy. “Are you going to, Dallas?”

“Yes. Then I’m going to mark you again. This
time I want to taste your blood. I want us bonded as well as mated before you
leave this room.” She nodded to him. “Will you bond with me, Stacy? Be mine
forever?”

“Yes. Tell me what to do. I know that I
must draw blood, but…when do I do it?”

“When we climax together.” He nearly
came when she smiled again. “When we climax together, we’ll bite together. You
bite my throat and I’ll bite you. Understand?” She nodded. “This is forever,
baby. I’m never letting you go.”

She touched her finger to his cheek. “I
know. And I’m ready.”

He entered her slowly, knowing she’d be
sore. But he couldn’t do that pace for long. Moving in and out of her was
amazing and he found that she was meeting him stroke for stroke when he felt
her wolf stir against his.

When she let her wolf go a little he
felt his own wolf respond. Her canines were sharp and Dallas couldn’t wait to
feel them sink into his flesh. As soon as she came he came again. They let
their wolves mark each other as their human selves marked as well. The second
her blood entered his mouth and his into hers he knew they were one. Stacy
Force was his mate.

Chapter 5

Rich called again and received the same
message. “I can’t come to my phone right now, but if you leave a message I’ll
get back with you as soon as I can.” He threw the fucking phone across the
room. Where the fuck was his butler?

He’d gone back outside to let him retire
for the night and couldn’t find him. Rich had actually forgotten about Harvey
until he’d been about to go to bed. And other than the door to his car being
open there was no sign of him anywhere. Rich had shouted for him for nearly an
hour before he’d gone up to bed thinking he’d simply gotten high again and
wandered off. But this morning the limo was still in the drive and the door
still hung open. And there was no sign of Harvey ever being there, only the
faint scent of heroin in the car. It was as if he’d vanished.

Trying to remember where his brother
lived proved futile. All he knew was he showed up every day and left every day.
And Rich wasn’t going to go out and ask anyone where he lived. Not for any
amount of money. He did, however, call to see if anyone from the tight group
his brother had hung around with had seen him.

“No, sir. I can go to his home and see
if…well, if maybe he’s taken too much this time. The man never knew his limit.”

That was true and Rich laughed. Of
course few knew that he gave him the drugs or that he was his brother, but that
was neither here nor there. “You do that. And send me someone to take over his
duties until we know for sure. I need someone to drive me to the meeting in
town.” He heard the hesitation, but the man finally said he’d send someone
over. Rich knew that he’d have a hard time of it and found that he didn’t care.
Soon someone would be here and he’d have his breakfast made and things would be
back to normal.

The phone ringing had him jump and, when
he could get his heart back under control, he picked it up. There wasn’t any
time for him to say even his name before someone began to speak.

“They know the conditions you keep your
wolves in and the council is coming to investigate. If I were you I’d leave now
and avoid being put into prison. It’s not a place for you.” The line went dead
and he laid it gently back into the cradle.

He sat there for several more seconds
before he stood up and looked around.
Now what?
his mind screamed at
him. He had to leave, but to where? No one would take him in and he doubted
very much he’d want to live in any of the “houses” he had provided for them. He
went to his safe and opened it.

He would need money. Lots of it too. Taking
out the three large bags, he set them on the floor, went to the safe on the
other side of the room, and took out what was there as well. He was taking the
second load to the car when he realized that the battery was dead. Going to the
garage, he opened the trunk to the first car he saw and started putting his
bags into it. That’s when he heard the car pull up. He hid behind the car and
watched as they looked into the last bag he’d yet to bring with him.

“He’s bolting. Maybe he’s still in the
house and we’ll be able to bring him in.”

Rich didn’t know these two, but was
willing to bet that they were not his replacement enforcer. The men went inside
as another car pulled up.

The larger man came out of the house and
shook hands with the other three new arrivals. “He’s not inside, but he’s not
been gone long. He left some of his ill-gotten gains behind.” The newcomers
walked to the money and kicked the bag. Rich found himself nearly going out to
them to kick them when he realized he’d never come out the victor with these
men. They were well taken care of.

He sniffed the air wondering if it were
possible to get their scent. He nearly screamed out when he smelled vampire,
and the other man was an alpha too. He tightened in to where he hid and waited.
He knew that the new council that was forming to take care of both weres and
vampire had one of each on the board. He wondered if these two knew who they
were.

This was an ambush. Someone wanted his
territory and this was how they were going to get it. It never occurred to him
that he’d done the same to get the one he was in, but that didn’t seem relative
right now. These men were on his property. But he wasn’t going to confront them
just yet. He was desperate, but not stupid.

“I say we gather up all we can here and
see if we can get some of his pack to come with us. They can’t be happy here
and, if he’s abandoned his position, I’m well within my rights to take it.”
