Captive (5 page)

But watching two men with another woman, she’d always been distracted by the female presence. Checking out the competition overshadowed the sensuality of the scene.
She’d always preferred watching the physical contact between the men.

Now, if she was the woman enjoying their attentions, that would be different. It intrigued her and intimidated her. Men always seemed to know how to satisfy other men. Could a woman really know a man that intimately? Please him that completely? She wouldn’t mind finding out.

She imagined herself between these two men, her mouth on Noah’s cock, Wade kneeling behind her. He’d be fingering her pussy and telling her what his lover needed to get off.

Four hands touching her, two mouths kissing her. What would it feel like to have two cocks fucking her? Her panties were soaked through and through just thinking about it. She’d never have to buy another battery for the rabbit.

Janis fanned herself with a folder and tried to come back to the boring reality of work. Her concentration gone, she gave up. She’d already wasted the entire morning daydreaming impossible scenarios. She might as well go to lunch.

Janis had dressed carefully that morning. She wouldn’t admit it to herself, but she wanted to look nice in case she ran into Noah and Wade. Instead of her usual business suit, she’d selected a dress, something that exposed a bit more flesh. Low cut, sleeveless and midnight-green, it set off her blonde hair. Wearing a revealing dress in the winter wasn’t the sanest or most sensible idea she’d ever come up with. It might be okay for a party but not for work. But with the right accessories, a dress could easily go from evening wear to office wear. A fitted jade cardigan made all the difference and still revealed her ample cleavage. A pair of high-heeled pumps completed the look.

Of course she hadn’t seen the men, and now, she was all dressed up with nowhere to go. No point letting it all go to waste. She already had a man. She might as well give him the benefit of her makeover.
 

She grabbed her purse and coat before she could change her mind and headed over to the FIRM. Hopefully
Roy
wasn’t busy and she could persuade him to take her to lunch. Mooning over two gay men when she had a boyfriend was stupid.

She entered the building and went straight to
Roy
’s office. The front room was empty. Damn, had she missed him? She could check the cafeteria, but she decided to try the door to his inner sanctum first. The knob turned, and she walked in.

Roy
sat behind his desk. He turned to her, looking for all the world like the proverbial deer frozen in headlights. He composed himself quickly. She really had surprised him.

She approached the desk. “I’m glad you’re here. I thought I’d come by and take you to lunch.”

“I, uh, I’m really tied up now, Janis,”
Roy
stammered.

Smiling, Janis put her hands on the edge of his desk and leaned over to kiss him. “I’m glad I caught you.” She also caught a flash of red hair from the corner of her eye and looked down in horror.

The red-haired bitch was on her knees under the desk, sucking
Roy
’s stiff cock. It looked like she had most of it stuffed down her throat. She hoped the slut choked on it.

For once
Roy
was speechless. So was she. Her fingers closed around the first thing they felt, and she threw it at the woman, wishing she’d grabbed something heavier than a mouse. The bitch released
Roy
’s dick with a soft pop. The bastard didn’t even lose his erection.

Janis turned abruptly and stomped out. She slammed the door behind her and crossed the reception area. She almost made it out to the street, but
Roy
grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

She yanked it away. “How did you get your pants zipped up so fast, you lying son of a bitch! You must get a lot of practice. This is the woman who means nothing to you.”

Roy
looked around, more worried about who might overhear than about her feelings. “I didn’t lie. She doesn’t mean a thing to me.”

“She was on her knees in front of you. What do you call that?”

“A blowjob.”

“You bastard!”

Roy
shrugged. “What’s the big deal? We never had an exclusive relationship. And you don’t like to suck cock. She does.”

Janis slapped him hard. She put everything into it, but he didn’t even flinch.

He laughed at her. “I guess this means you don’t want to see me tonight?”

Chapter Five

Janis gave off an anxious vibe. Noah’s acute senses picked up on it immediately.

“How did you know where I live?” She played with a loose thread at the edge of her sweater.

He smiled reassuringly. “Your name is on the mailbox.” He hoped she wasn’t afraid to let them in. Two six foot, four inch men could be intimidating. Maybe tonight wasn’t the best time to get better acquainted. She’d be more approachable in her office.

Janis let out a shaky laugh. “Oh, of course.”

Noah debated putting this visit off for another day, but she invited them in before he could make up his mind. Relieved, he followed her inside. He and Wade were anxious to conclude their business here and move on.

“Sit down,” Janis said. “Would you like something to drink?”

“No. Thank you.” Noah hesitated. “Actually, we stopped by to invite you to dinner.”

“Noah and I thought you might clue us in on life in the big city,” Wade added. “You know, direct us to the best places to buy furniture. That kind of thing.”

Janis’s eyes appeared red. She looked like she’d been crying. “I’m sorry. Maybe another time. I’m afraid I wouldn’t be very good company tonight.”

Noah’s mind raced with possibilities. A distressed woman would be easier to manipulate. If he and Wade turned on their wolfish charm and gained her confidence, they might find out more. Even bed her if it came to that. It wouldn’t be the first time they fucked for the good of the clan. Surprised, Noah found himself thinking that fucking Ms. Outlaw would not be a hardship.

“It might help to talk about it,” Noah prodded.

“I don’t think so.” Janis shook her head.

Wade caught her attention. “Why don’t we have that drink after all?”

“Wine okay?” Janis asked.

“That would be great.”

Janis disappeared into the kitchen and returned with a bottle of Merlot and three wine glasses.

Noah opened the bottle and filled the glasses to the rim. Wade lifted his in a toast. “To new friends.”

“And hopefully new job opportunities.” Noah added, hoping to put distance between them and Roy.

Janis frowned. “I thought you’d be working with Roy Granger?”

“So did we. Unfortunately, when we saw Dr. Granger today he informed us that the positions were cut because of budget concerns.”

“Son of a bitch.” Janis muttered under her breath.

Noah’s brows arched in surprise. “It won’t affect our lease will it? We have enough money to cover our rent.”

“No. It’s not that.” She took a big swallow from her glass. “You’re not the only ones who got screwed today. So did I. And not in a good way.”

What had
Roy
done now?
Noah felt his gorge rise. He exchanged a look with Wade.

“Sorry.” Janis flushed scarlet. “I’m just so angry. Roy and I had been dating. Today I went to his office, intending to ask him to lunch, and I caught him with his pants down. Literally.” She downed the rest of the wine. “And his slut of a secretary on her knees under the desk.”

There was a moment of stunned silence then Noah threw back his head and laughed. Wade followed, and Janis soon joined in.

Noah regained control first. Wade actually had tears running down his cheeks, and Janis hugged her ribs as if she had a stitch in her side.

Wade wiped his face with the back of a hand. “I’m sorry. I’m not laughing at you. I got this picture in my head, and
Roy
is just such a pompous ass…”

“He’s a jerk,” Noah added. “And that redhead doesn’t hold a candle to you. You’re well rid of him.” He found he really meant it.
Roy
was a fool. If he wanted a woman’s company, he couldn’t do better than Janis. Oddly enough it pleased him that they’d had a falling out.

Janis’ extraordinary eyes sparkled. “All of a sudden I’m hungry. How about a pizza?”

* * * *

Janis collected the dirty plates and put them in the sink. “I’m glad we didn’t go out. I enjoyed this.”

“Me, too.” Noah stood to give her a hand.

“You bought the pizza, I’ll clean up. Put some music on, or pick out a movie. The DVDs are in the cabinet under the TV.”

While Wade went through the movies, Noah walked around the living room, taking in everything at a glance. The furniture was comfortable, mission oak. He didn’t see many personal touches other than a display of photographs on a console table. One, in particular, caught his eye.

He was looking at it when Janis walked back in the room.

“Those are my nephews.” Her voice took on a wistful tone that touched Noah.

“They’re beautiful children,” Noah said. “And the woman?”

“My sister-in-law. Their mother.”

“Really? They don’t look anything like her.” This photo didn’t have the red-eye effect. The woman’s distinctive golden eyes seemed to be looking into Noah’s. The hair on the back of his neck stood on end.

Janis took the picture and handed him another. “The twins take after their dads.”

“Dads?” He studied the blond men, posed shirtless in the sun. They were tall, good-looking humans with muscular bodies. He and Wade could subdue them easily.

“My brothers. Fraternal twins just like the babies.” Janis laughed. “Well, not exactly like the babies.”

Noah planted a puzzled expression on his face. “I don’t understand.”

“I don’t really understand it all myself.” Janis said. “They each fathered one of the twins. Evidently Sable released multiple eggs and had sex with both of them.”

“Sable?” Noah rolled it around on his tongue. It was first time he’d heard her referred to by name. He racked his memory. Had he known a Sable in his childhood?

“Yes. She’s wife to both of them.”

“Rather unconventional,” Noah murmured. Although he and Noah were forced to mate with the she-wolves, they’d never shared a woman. The idea appealed to him.

“It works for them.”

“How do you feel about that?” Noah murmured. “Do you disapprove?”

“Not at all. They’re happy. That’s the important thing.”

“Do you think you could do that? Make love to two men, I mean?” Noah looked at her through slitted eyes. The familiar tightening in his groin surprised him. His cock had grown hard.

Janis flushed red. “I don’t know that she makes love to both at the same time. It’s really none of my business.”

“I didn’t ask about her. I asked about you.” She might think it none of her business, but the scent of her arousal told him the idea intrigued her. Her reactions intrigued him.
