Shifter’s Baby (Alpha Fantasy Paranormal Billionaire Shifter BBW Romance) (24 page)

Eric watched her walk away. She said something to Linda and then walked into the house. He wanted to follow her and finish their verbal sparring, but he didn’t. She was different and he was going to have to approach her differently. It was clear to him from the first time they met, that he was going to have her. It didn’t matter who she was, he had to have the blue-eyed minx.

The more he had heard about her through his father, the less he had liked her. She was everything he hated in the new feminist woman. They wanted it all and didn’t need a man to get it. After meeting her, it was even clearer how uptight she really was, but he was not blind. He had seen the way her body reacted to him. If her mind was the one he had to convince, Eric would have to come up with another idea. As he walked back to the rest of his group, he noticed the blonde hanging on Jesse.

“So who are you?”

“I’m Callie. Your new sister’s BFF.”

His dark eyes took her in and under other circumstances he would have went for the slutty type. But there was too much at stake and he knew that a girl like Bethany would never speak to him again if he had got with her friend. There was a girl code that he was aware of and he didn’t want to get in the middle of that. She was an opportunity though and the way she was letting Jesse paw at her, he had a good idea of where she was going to be that night.

“Good to meet you Callie.”

He kissed her hand, laying it on thick. She looked at him with desire and he groaned inwardly, wanting nothing more than to take her into one of the empty rooms in the house. Jesse gave him a questioning look, his mind on the same page, and after Eric nodded, he pulled the blonde into the house. Eric watched them go and wished that he was in a similar situation. His cock was semi-hard still from his dance with Beth. Frustrated, he walked back to the small bar and got another beer.

***

Bethany had drifted into the house to get away from prying eyes and her new brother. She kept repeating the last bit in her head. He was her brother and beyond that a complete ruffian. He was not her type and she actually had a boyfriend, though he was in Spain for the next few weeks. She missed him and with a wet quim from her interaction with Eric, she realized how much. It had been two weeks too long and she found herself alone in the kitchen.

After making a drink, she walked through the large house. It was her first time in it alone and she wanted to wander. She had yet to see her new room, though she was told it was not quite ready. Bethany would have to stay in one of the many guest bedrooms for another week or two, until it was finished. It was a surprise, though she had a strong urge to go peak inside.

Walking up the large spiral staircase, she found her room and the door was slightly ajar. She could hear whispered words and moans coming from the room. Bethany recognized Callie’s voice and she stopped to get closer and peer in. When she saw the motorcycle jacket, her first thought was that her brother was fucking her best friend. The idea was unsettling and the intensity of how badly she wanted to run in there and stop them was breathtaking.

So instead of leaving as she should have, she watched as the man’s hands went under Callie’s blush dress and pulled her panties off. Bethany was surprised that she was even wearing any. Her jealously focused on her slutty friend. She couldn’t believe that she could do this to her. Bethany did not have any more time to think about it though. The next thing she knew, the man was lifting Callie up and spearing her with a cock that Beth did not get to see, but sounding to be huge by her friend’s reaction.

Callie hung on by his neck and her whimpers got louder and then she was calling out a name before a thick hand covered her mouth. All Bethany heard was the J sound from the beginning. Her quim was wet and she was wildly turned on, but she couldn’t watch anymore, an unknown sadness in her that she didn’t quite understand. Instead, she walked away and tried to get back outside to the fresh air as quickly as possible.

She found the double French-doors that led out into the garden area and she ran smack dab into someone hard and unyielding. Beth fell back, the chest unforgiving even with her momentum. She looked up at him in a daze, not sure how he could be there. He pulled her up, a concerned look on his face.

“Whoa Beth. Are you okay?”

Beth looked up at Eric. “What are you doing out here, I thought…”

“What?”

“Nothing. Sorry to have ran into you.”

Beth took off and instead of going back to the party she got into her car and just left. She had had enough fun for one day and just had to get away from it all. Bethany found herself at an unfamiliar bar and she pulled in. She needed a drink and a place where she didn’t know anyone.

The interior was as dark and dank as the exterior. There were several men in jackets, much like Eric’s but with different insignias. Bethany should have walked out, but she needed a drink more than anything else. After the first few shots, her mind numbed and she started to forget about the day she was having. It wasn’t until she got a text from Callie that she realized she probably shouldn’t have taken off like that. Not to mention she was Callie’s ride.

“Hey chica. Where are you at?”

“Finnigan’s. Getting a drink.”

“Why didn’t you invite me?”

“I figured you were busy.”

Beth didn’t get a text for a bit so she set her phone down and smiled at the man seated next to her. She hadn’t noticed him before, but he was cute and rugged, like Eric. With his dark eyes looking at her, she felt much the same that she had felt earlier.

“So what are you doing with such a pretty dress on in here?”

Bethany looked down at the gaudy thing she had been forced to wear. “Oh, I was in a wedding today. My mom got married in some big hoopla.”

The man’s eyes narrowed. “You mean the Castine wedding?”

“Yeah. That’s the one. I had to get out of there.”

“So you are Eric’s sister now?”

Beth made a sound in her throat. “Unfortunately.”

“So what is your name?”

“Bethany and yours?”

“Everyone knows me as Rex.”

“Well nice to meet you Rex.” He took her hand and shook it. His eyes took in the innocent woman and his plans of revenge started to play out in his head. They talked for some time before he asked her if she wanted to go back to his house for a little get together that they were having. Bethany was not usually one to go to parties with random men, but she was feeling a bit too open with the boos in her system. She wanted to go with him and for him to take her, as she had watched her friend get taken before. Ever since she had seen the two of them going at it, it was all that she could think about and Beth just needed release.

“Sure. Let me just let my friend know.”

He stilled her hand. “Don’t worry about it. You can talk to her later. Let’s just get out of here.” He looked around them, making sure that he really didn’t know any of the people there. Him and some friends were there to bust up the wedding, but Eric’s sister being dropped into his lap seemed too close to fate to pass up. What he was going to do with her, he still didn’t know.

He pulled her up with him and helped her to the door. Bethany wasn’t drunk, but her body was not moving as fast as Rex wanted her to. A few men followed him out and helped her onto the back of his bike. Bethany should have been nervous, she had never ridden on one before, but she was beyond caring. He got on and she grabbed him around the waist. Rex moved her hands lower to his groan. “Hold on tight. I don’t want you falling off.”

She nodded to the man’s turned back and as she gripped him. She could feel a hardness that hadn’t been there before and Bethany moved her hands upward a touch so that they no longer did. Rex took off like a rocket and she held on tight, more than once thinking that she was going to make them crash. Every movement from her sent the bike to the side she leaned in. It took her some time, but she was quickly adjusting to the feel of the bike. Bethany also learned to hold on with more than just her hands. Her thighs gripped his body as he drove faster.

Bethany was afraid, but at the same time, it was an experience that made her eyes twinkle and her breathing quicken. Her mind was soon forgetting about Eric or anything else, all she could think about was the ride and the wind pushing through her dark brown hair.

“Have you seen Bethany?”

“No, Mrs. Castine. I think she said she was at Finnigan’s.”

“She left?”

“Yeah. I think she just needed a little time. I am sure she will be back in a bit.” Callie turned back to Jesse. Eric had turned to her, overhearing the conversation.

“She’s at Finnigan’s bar, down by the docks?”

Callie shrugged and kissed Jesse. She had never felt so alive before and Callie was lucky that she remembered her own name after what had happened in the upstairs room. She felt a hand on her shoulder and she looked up at Eric. “What?”

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah, chill out. What is the big deal?”

Eric and Jesse looked at each other and Jess pushed the blonde away from him. “Sorry babe. I got to go. See you around.”

Eric couldn’t believe that his first day with a sister, he was already having to go save her. It was of course, his fault, but he was not given time to talk to her about anything. He had been more worried about the moisture content of her under garments. Eric had been told that the Jeffers clan was in the area, a few of their bikes had been seen at Finnigan’s. Eric had been debating if they should go down there after the reception, but it seemed that his enemy had beaten him to the punch.

The two had met in college of all places, but as Eric had finished after the accident, Rex had not. Rex’s best friend was killed in a motorcycle crash from a race that went wrong. Everyone blamed his brother Greg for the way he was driving and the amount of liquor he had consumed, but Rex always blamed Eric for not stopping it. Eric had been on the other side of campus and knew nothing about it, but he had promised Rex that he would watch over him while he was gone for the weekend. He had failed and since then, it was back and forth between the two. Eric knew that if Rex knew who she was, he would find a way to get at him, through her.

The old friends had parted ways and while both ended up in gangs, Eric was the one that had tried to end it the year before. He had gotten over and accepted what had happened, but Rex would never be able to let it go. Eric felt fear for the first time in a long time, but it wasn’t for himself, but for his new sister. He knew he would never be able to forgive himself if something happened to her.

***

Bethany was no worse for wear, oblivious to it all. He had taken her to an old house set away from the road. It was a bit worn down and certainly unlike anything she had experienced before, but the liquor and the smoke in the air, seemed to calm her down.

Rex was very attentive, but he seemed to ask a lot of questions about Eric. If she had been more sober, there would have been alarm bells going off in her head, but instead she just answered what she could. Rex knew more about Eric than she did and after that was apparent, he told her a little bit about them. “We used to be friends and then he betrayed me. My brother died because of him.”

Beth put her arm around him, trying to comfort the older man. He was having a break down she thought and she started to sober up as she looked around for someone else to be paying attention to him, one of his friends. But they all were involved in other things. When Rex pulled her down for a kiss, she was helpless to refuse. Her body was primed for action and before she knew it, Bethany was straddling the man underneath her on the couch. Her arms were wrapped around his neck as their tongues danced in each other’s mouths.

There was a disturbance in the yard and she pulled away to look up. Bethany was shocked to see Eric coming towards her and he had a look on his face that made her fear her stepbrother once again. “Beth come on. This was low, even for you Rex.”

Hands pulled her off of the man and the two men were in each other’s faces like they were going to fight. “What is wrong with you Eric?”

“Beth, shut up and walk out of this house now. I will get to you later.” He pushed her towards the entrance and yelled at Jesse to take her out. Bethany struggled against the tall guy that she had mistaken for her brother earlier in the day. There was no use to her struggles though and she quickly gave up, looking back to see Rex getting up while Eric moved closer to him. She could tell that he was angry and she wondered why he was so mad.

She finally pulled away from Jesse and walked with him to the bikes propped up. Bethany didn’t know what was going on, but she knew that she found herself in the middle of something that she didn’t want to be in. There was a moment of indecision, where she seriously thought about going back in there. She needed what Rex had to offer and she could have cared less what was going on between the two of them. Bethany started towards the house and Jesse stopped her with a hard grip on her arm. “Wait. You don’t want to get involved more than you already are Beth.”

Beth stopped. There was something in Jesse’s eyes that she didn’t question and instead waited by her stepbrother’s bike. She could hear yelling, but there had been no gunshots, so she was hopeful that it would end well. Beth felt like it was her fault and as she sobered up and looked around her, she couldn’t believe that she had chosen to go with Rex. Maybe it was best that he had come to save her. Bethany would not admit that to him though, ever.

He finally came out and looked as pissed off as when he had barged his way in the dilapidated house. He grabbed Bethany on her wrist hard and she whined, trying to jerk away from him. “Stop Eric, you’re hurting me.”

His eyes were on fire and she could feel how angry he was at her. “Get on the damn bike Beth. You don’t know what you are into.”

She did as he said, but she was not happy about it. As soon as he was in front of her, he started the engine and pulled out, dust flying up in his wake. Bethany was being treated like a child and it pissed her off. The last thing she needed was some guy thinking he had a say in what she did, just because their parents got married.

“Stop Eric. What are you doing? Do you know how horny I am right now and you pulled me away like I was an underage teen or something? Dammit, I am eighteen years old and I can do what I please.”

There were several minutes that he said nothing. Bethany clung to him as he drove fast in the night. She eventually squeezed her eyes shut and held on for dear life. She was sure that it would be her last day. Her brother drove like a maniac. They finally stopped and after he got off and talked to a few of his friends, the rest took off, leaving them alone in closed gas station parking lot.

“You can’t tell our parents about what happened, okay?”

“What did happen? Why were you so mad that I was there?”

“You shouldn’t be around people like that.”

Bethany couldn’t help but smile at his answer. He looked just as gruff as Rex and his clan looked, though Eric was quick to put his hands on her if need be. Rex had been more than gentle when he had touched her. The idea reminded her that she was horny and riding with Eric between her legs had not helped her cause.

“You don’t get to tell me who I can hang around Eric.”

“Oh so you and Rex then?”

“Why not?”

“He is too old for you.”

“I like my men older. Then they know what to do with their equipment and me better. Guys my age are a waste of time.”

“I thought you were the perfect child?”

Beth laughed. “Why does a girl have to be a virgin to be good?”

The banter was making her hot and she had to remind herself more than once that he was her brother. Stepbrother, but it didn’t matter, it was wrong to talk to him in that way.

Eric didn’t seem able to answer her and he mumbled something about taking her home. They didn’t say another word on the ride home, though Bethany didn’t hold him quite as tight. She tried to make some distance between them, but she was soon fast against him like before. Between the hum of the engine and Eric’s hard body in front of her, Bethany practically jumped off the bike when it stopped.

She turned back and kissed him on the cheek. “Thanks bro. Even though you cockblocked me, I still love ya.”
