Freak Show (11 page)

              “I fucking love you, Serenity.” He groans and he lets go of my neck to push the shoulder strap of my dress down. I feel the heat of his chest against my back and then his lips, soft against my shoulder. The hand that held my neck reaches under me to grab my breast. I gasp at the mix of sensations he is giving me.

              His cock works me so hard, his hand gropes my chest roughly, but his lips are so sweet and tender on my shoulder. Lightly he sucks at the skin and I briefly wonder if I’ll have a hickey. I don’t have to wonder long. His mouth opens and his teeth sink into the skin he worked over with his mouth.

              I scream, but it doesn’t really hurt. It feels more like a pinch and the subtle pain releases the floodgates of my orgasm. I lean back into him as I shiver in bliss and go dizzy from the strength of this second orgasm. I pant his name over and over. His hips spank my ass as he fucks me.

              Then the pinch of his bite gets harder and tighter and his pace goes from hard to erratic. I feel him tensing behind me and with one last powerful thrust his cock twitches and fills my body with his hot seed.

              Long moments pass with him pulsing inside of my throbbing body and his teeth clenched over my shoulder. I lift one hand to reach back and slide my hand up the back of his neck, cradling him to me and playing in his sweaty hair. Slowly he releases my shoulder and licks over the wound he has created. It isn’t just a wound though, it’s my mark. The seal of my Spiritbond. I secretly hope it stays visible for me to wear proudly.

              “Nothing will keep you from me anymore.” He whispers into my ear before he kisses it sweetly. “Here in this park, not even death will tear us apart.” He carefully pulls himself from my body and lays me down on my side where he curls up behind me and pulls me against him.

              His chest is to my back and I can feel his heart pounding to match my own heart’s beat. “I love you too, Chaos.” My words are soft and full of sleep. He kisses the back of my head.

              “Rest for a bit, my bond. I’ll need you strong and fresh when you help me reunite the pack.”

              “Oh,” I sigh. I know in my heart and mind that it will be good for the brothers’ packs to join as one again, but I didn’t think about having to help make that happen. How will the members react to me being a part of such a big decision that will change their way of life? How will Chaos’ pack feel about accepting Anne and Din? More questions tumble together in my head, but my brain shuts them up by finding sleep in Chaos’ arms.

              Dressed in leather pants and Chaos’ white tee shirt, I sit on the back of a motorcycle clinging to Chaos’ back. My arms are wrapped tightly around his waist and my cheek is pressed as tightly to his shoulder as I can get it. He drives carefully, Din following us on another bike with Anne pressed against him, and his pack following them.

              The wind from the bike is almost as chilling as the sounds of the engines as they shake everything around them. My ass feels numb from the constant vibrations and I close my eyes wishing we would get back to Coyote Mountain quickly.

              The Other-side is almost twice as big as the safe side of Freak Show and twice as difficult to navigate. I peek one eye open to watch as Chaos maneuvers the powerful bike down the crowded streets and then through a long length of forest. Yellow eyes blink at us from the tops of the trees and I squeeze Chaos tighter.

              “It’s OK. You have nothing to fear with my magic protecting you. Remember the power of the park only makes us more powerful.” His words are meant to be encouraging I know, but I can’t help but feel full of dread for the events that are about to take place.

              It takes twenty minutes to get through the spooky forest and the lake comes into view. I sit up a bit to look at the shimmering water. The purple skies are behind us now and again the sun shines brightly over the friendly part of Freak Show.

              A beach of pink sand comes into view and pretty flippers splash in the shallows. I giggle remembering Anne telling me you could come to the Other-side of the lake to receive oral sex from the horny little mermaids. I press my nose into Chaos’ back inhaling him as I avoid spying any actual sex on the beach.

              Chaos reaches down for my left knee and squeezes lightly. I smile against his back and finally release my tight hold of him. I let my hands slide up his sides and back down. Then move them to his lower back and lean back enough to watch my hands roam up the expanse of his back. I spend the rest of the ride tracing random patterns on his skin and placing kisses all over his sexy shoulders.

              I recognize the unicorn barn as we pass and tap on Chaos’ shoulder. “Can we stop for a second?” I yell toward his ear and let the soft breeze carry my words to him. He nods and slows the bike. I look behind and watch the rest of the pack mimic his actions. At least twenty bike engines rumble to a stop and into an idle. I climb off the bike and bend down to rub my inner thighs.

              Ow, but riding for that long your first time hurts. I walk a little funny for my first few steps and then get my normal gait back. I reach Din’s bike and he lifts his sunglasses up to let me look at his pretty blue eyes. “What’s the hold up, woman?” He asks playfully and I pop my hip out and cross my arms over my chest.

              “Your face.” It’s not the best joke I’ve ever come up with but it tickles Din and he laughs. Already, I feel a sibling banter between us that feels natural and fresh.

              “Yeah? ‘Cuz it’s so pretty it just makes everything come to a stop.” He drops his feet to the ground and Anne bounds off the back of his bike.

              “Yup, sure, that’s why.” Anne twitters and leans against his knee to kiss his cheek. He turns and makes her kiss land square on his mouth. His hands leave the handle bars and he locks one arm around her lower back and the other grabs her ass, pulling her harder against him. She squeals but I can tell she isn’t trying to pull away. I wait for him to let her go and start tapping my foot like I’m annoyed.

              “Any day now.” I huff but the smile on my face gives my faked attitude away. “I wanna pick up Becca so we can all do this together and find out what her and Kelly wanna do.” I’m curious to see if our friends will take my jeep and continue living their lives back in Maine without us, or if they’ll stay here to live in this fantasy world with the two of us. Anne pushes herself out of Din’s arms and nods at me.

              “Let’s do it.” She holds out one bent elbow for me to take and we skip like little kids to the unicorn barn. When we enter all the stalls are filled with the larger than life mystical creatures that live here. “Becca?” Anne calls out as we wander past the neighing beasts.

              I stretch my hand out and one white beauty lowers her soft nose for me to pet gently. She snorts lightly and her tiny whiskers by her nostrils tickle my fingers. “Hey!” Becca calls back and exits from a stall part way down the barn. She’s wearing stylish riding gear and looks no worse than when we left her in the hands of her vampire lover. “I was wondering when you’d come back for me. Where’s Kelly?”

              “Girl, so much as happened.” Anne rushes to our friend and squeezes her in a tight hug. “Are you ready to go?”

              “Sure,” Becca shrugs and the two of them walk back to me. “Can I get the short version?”

              With a big breath Anne starts the spiel. She recaps the strip club and how I met my Spiritbond. When Becca cocks an eyebrow she runs into a tangent to explain how that all works. I add in a few bits here and there to help it make sense. Then she begins to tell her all about Din. Her words are twisted with love, like she is trying to protect Din from our friend’s judgement. I allow it, I would do the same for Chaos if need be.

              “And now we have to bring Din’s pack back to Chaos’ pack, where they all started from anyway, and see if we can reconnect them. It might be a bit tense, I’m really not sure how it will go.” Anne puffs.

              “I’m not sure, either,” I add. “But we’ve gotta try. They belong together, it’s been far too long since they’ve been one big happy family.”

              “Oh,” Becca pauses and then shrugs, as if she totally understands. “Well let’s go have a big family reunion then!” I guess sleeping with a vampire helps you be a little more open minded.

              We leave as a group. Becca doesn’t stop to say goodbye to her lover or mention anything about him. Although, when we step outside she does give the barn one last longing look.  The motorcycles lining the street look as intimidating as they sound and Becca’s steps falter. “We’re going with them?” She questions with worry written all over her face.

              “Indeed we are.” Anne chuckles and pulls Becca along to a bike idling near Din’s. “You can ride with Parker.” She gives Becca a wink and waits for Becca to straddle the bike before hopping on behind Din.

              I smile at Chaos as I get closer and he snatches me up before I can lift a leg to get on his bike. He lifts me high in front of him and I part my legs so he can set my ass on the gas tank. I slide down on to his lap and wrap my legs around his lower back. “Hi.” I smile and he places a kiss on my mouth.

              He lets go of my sides to grab the handle bars and the bike jerks under me, sending me closer to Chaos. He tucks my head against his shoulder and I feel the wind racing over my back as he drives the short distance to the club. I kiss and nibble on his neck as he drives, feeling happy and free in this moment.

              Instead of parking in the front of the club, Chaos leads the pack behind the imposter of a mountain and slowly the noise dissipates as each bike is shut off. Din’s pack is small, only five other men and two females who each have ridden over with a male member. They are all looking to me with hopeful eyes and I think, no I know, they have been waiting for me to tie their broken family back together. I offer them a smile that my soul is nervous to give.

              If Chaos’ pack isn’t as accepting as he has been over all of the quickly made changes that will affect all of their lives, things could get rocky. On the other hand, though, Chaos is their alpha, what he says goes. I let him lift me up as he climbs off the bike and I slowly drop my legs to the ground. He slides me down his body and I rub my hands down his hard pecs. “Will they be OK with this?” I look up into his sweet brown eyes and he smirks down at me.

              “I believe in their hearts.” He runs his hands through my hair and tugs it playfully at the base of my skull where he has gathered it in a ponytail between his fingers. “Some will be easier to convince than others, but most have been waiting for this day since we first spilt. I think only one or two will protest, but it won’t be a big deal.” He plants a kiss between my eyes and tucks one long arm around my shoulder. “And if anyone tries to make it an issue, I’ll take care of it.”

              I lean my body against his and let him guide us to the back entrance. I trust him to know his pack and to know what will be in their benefit. His hand falls across my chest and his fingers tickle the mound of my breast. I cup his hand to make him stop and he laughs softly. “OK, OK, but as soon as this is done I’m taking you to my room so I can touch you all I want.”

              “That’s fine, but I’d like to keep a clear head going into this.”

              “I haven’t had a clear head since you strolled in here and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. I want to be back in your body and hear you screaming my name from those pretty little lips of yours.”

              “Chaos,” I scold him lightly. My insides begin quivering at the images his words provide. He leans down to whisper in my ear.

              “I can smell your pussy getting ready for me, dirty girl.”

              “Well, just like you, it’ll have to wait till we patch up our family.” He kisses my ear.

              “Whatever you say my alpha queen.” He pushes open the door and we enter a huge family room. A pool table sits off to the side near an air hockey table and four TVs hang on the walls, each playing a different channel. One has a football game playing, the other looks like an MTV video and the two others have combat video games blasting.

              All activity stops when we walk through the door together. Pandora and Kelly jump up from a leather couch and run to us. “You’re back!” Kelly yells and jumps on me. I catch her just in time to brace my feet so we don’t fall backwards.

              “Everyone,” Chaos’ voice echoes through the open room and all the TVs go silent. “I have great news.” He waits for everyone to gather around him. His pack, our pack, is much larger than Din’s and includes a few children. I look behind me to see Anne and Din waiting to be announced before they enter fully into the room. “Din has found his Spritibond and is ready to rejoin the pack.” Hushed noises skim through the group before us, but it’s Pandora who catches my eye.

              Tears flood her pretty brown eyes and she sinks slightly like her knees can’t hold her weight any longer. Chaos leaves my side to lift his sister and she cups his jaw. “Honestly?” She cries meekly.

              “It’s the truth.” He answers her just as softly and then raises his voice to be heard by all. “Din has done terrible things in the past, but all will remain in the past. I have forgiven him with faith that we can once again be a whole family. No more broken hearts will come from our rivalry and I hope you all will welcome him and the others with hearts as open as mine and Serenity’s.”

              No one moves but they all speak to each other at once so no words can be understood. They look from Pandora and Chaos to me and then behind me where I know Din is waiting. I turn sideways and hold out my hand to him. He takes it gratefully and steps through the door’s threshold with Anne clinging to his other hand. Her chin is up high and her spine is as straight as can be. I’m proud of her for standing strong for her new lover. If her heart is tied to his as tightly as mine is to Chaos’, I know I would do the same thing if I were standing in her shoes.

              “Are we in agreeance that old wounds can be healed and new life can begin?” Chaos asks the crowd and slowly heads bob up and down in answer. Pandora leaves the comfort of her brother’s arms to face her other sibling. Din lowers his head in a submissive gesture as she approaches, as his hand tightens around mine. I give it a reassuring squeeze back and his eyes lift slightly.

              “Oh, Din,” Pandora cries and throws herself into his arms. He lets go of Anne and I to catch her. His head is buried in her neck and I can hear low sobs coming from both of them as the hold each other. “I’ve missed you so, so much.”

              “I’ve missed you more.” Din replies through her shoulder and I feel tears pricking at the back of my eyes. Chaos joins them by locking his arms around the two of them. The two packs give them only a moment to reconnect before they clash together with happy squeals of long lost relatives and friends. I smile at my three friends and we lean against each other while the packs merge into one.

              “One big happy family.” Anne tips her head into mine and I nod.

              “Where do we fit in?” Kelly asks.

              “Here with us, duh!” Anne pinches Kelly’s side.

              “What about our families?” Becca’s voice is hesitant and I peek around Anne to look at her. For the first time since we’ve been friends I see confusion in her eyes. Kelly and Becca are the ones with families, while Anne and I have always bonded over having no one but each other and the two standing next to me.

              Now Anne and I are a part of this big wolf family, and the other two are sitting on the outside looking in.

              “You can always come back and visit us, stay as long as you want and go as you please.” I offer and look at each of them sincerely. “You’ll always have a place in our pack.” Anne squeezes me against her and agrees.
