Red Satin Lips (8 page)

His other form took over, bones popped and muscles stretching, as he snarled. “No, she is pregnant and will not be hurt.”

The other form stepped forward, changing to look like that of a human. “She will not be hurt. Is this appearance better? Your woman has some kind of link with this other we need to seek. I can use that to track them.”

Lars’ father placed his hand on his shoulder. “It must be done.”

The door to their private room opened and Gage, in full beast form, held Tamara in his arms. At over seven foot four, Gage was a massive being. Even the two others nodded to him. “We will not harm her, mighty beast. I am called Jander.” Once more the other one spoke and seemed to glide forward, meeting them halfway.

Slowly, Gage lowered Tamara down, so she could stand, but Tamara held onto Gage’s arms as they circled her.

“You are new to our world, but already your gifts are strong. Will you allow me to see what you know? Sometimes another perspective can find something you can’t see?” He asked her as he stepped up to their side.

She looked at him and he reached up, running his finger down her cheek. “Nothing will happen to you.”

“Then let’s get this done. I want a normal life, well as normal as I can get,” she said and stepped forward.

Lars had never been so proud of someone. Her courage still amazed him and scared the shit out of him too. The entity reached up and placed what looked like a hand on each side of her head. Her eyes closed, but her breathing was steady and even.

No one said anything,. What took only minutes seemed to drag on forever. When he released her, Tamara staggered back into Gage’s arms.

“She will need to feed, but your mate is fine. Amazing gift your wife has, but the elder was right. You two have to create a barrier around her. With age, her powers will intensify and even if she is not meaning to, she will pick up odd thoughts from others. It will be very tiring for her unless she has protection, and it will drain her.” Stepping away from her, he nodded to his partner and they vanished from the room.

“It is done,” Alton announced. “Now all we have to do is wait and stay alive.” He winked at Tamara before vanishing, as did the other elders. The four of them were the only ones left in the room. “I’m going to join your mother .It’s been a long day and I have feeling tomorrow will be even longer.” He walked over to them and bent, kissing Tamara in the head. “I’m sorry my son has attacked. This will all be over soon.. Good night, daughter.”

She stood there watching his father enter his room and Lars laughed at the shock on her face. “Did you see that? He actually called me daughter. Okay what did those things do to your father?” Tamara asked.

“Come on, you need to feed and we need to work on that protection.” Walking towards their room, Gage shifted and the demon retreated inside, but when they turned to look at their woman, she was standing behind them. A black film slid over her vision and her legs buckled. Gage reached her before Lars did, just as her body collapsed.

“What the hell is going on?” Gage snarled and looked up at him.

“Put her on the bed and stay with her. I’ll be right back.” Lars vanished, going to his grandfather’s room. As soon as he appeared, his grandmother looked up with tears in her eyes. “He just fell,” she cried, holding onto his head in her lap.

“I think it’s a reaction to the mind connection with the other. Here, let me help you get him in bed. He’ll be hungry when he wakes, Grandma. I’ll have two feeders standing by for him. Just stay by him and keep me posted if you need anything else.” He leaned over and kissed the top of her head.

“Thank you, Lars.” She followed him into the bedroom as he placed his grandfather on the bed. He watched as she curled up next to him, her head on his chest.

Turning, Lars left them and made his way to his mates. Tonight he and Gage had some work to do before they could rest.

Chapter Six

She ran her tongue over her teeth. “Yuck, what the hell?” Tamara almost gagged at how rotten her mouth tasted. What the hell was wrong with her? Even her eyes were caked with crap. As she  raised her arm, Tamara moaned.

“Easy, baby,” Lars said as a warm damp cloth was rubbed across her face clearing her eyes of the junk that had been on her lashes. She looked up and blinked. Her eyes really sensitive to the light.

“Can we turn down the lights?” Her throat was raw and Tamara’s words were squeaky. “Ugg, I feel like I’m falling apart here.” She grabbed the washcloth that Lars held and wiped away the tears that were dripping down her cheeks. “Can one of you take me to the bathroom? I really need to brush my teeth and a nice warm bath would be great. I just don’t know if I’ll be able to stand right now or I’d do it myself.”

Strong powerful arms scooped her up and she looked up to see Gage’s worried face. “You scared the crap out of us, but not to worry. I blame this one Lars,” he snarled and looked over his shoulder.

“Gage, it had to be done. I don’t want to keep looking over my shoulder wondering when Alex or that psycho bitch is coming after me.” She frowned and looked around. “Wait a minute, it’s quiet? Did you two do something? For the first time in weeks, I can hear my own thoughts without digging through others that are around me.”

“We’ve been working all night on protecting you. The spell should help. When we’re in a attack, we can add our strength to the shield protecting you,” Lars said as he started running water in the tub.

Sitting her down on the counter, Gage handed her a brand new toothbrush and toothpaste. “Then you two should be sleeping and not messing with me. After I get settled in the tub, both of you go off to bed and make sure you make up. Gage, you know this wasn’t Lars' fault, so stop acting like a child.” She rolled her eyes and started to brush her teeth as he watched her through the mirror.

“We’re not leaving you. We’ll be fine. Maybe later we’ll take a nap or something, but for now I just want to take care of you.” Lars started to strip out of his clothes as did Gage. “The tub is big enough for all of us.”

She spit the mess in her mouth into the sink, enjoying the scene. Where Lars was tall and built like a runner, Gage was built like a tank and was a bit shorter, but both men could rival any man in the
Men’s Health
magazine. How the hell she got so lucky to land both of them, Tamara would never know.

After she was done brushing her teeth, Tamara pulled her shirt up over her head, moaning once more. “God, I feel as if I ran ten miles. Ever muscle is sore.” She threw the shirt down onto the floor and reached for the clasp of her bra, but Gage was already leaning over her to help.

“Let us help. I’m sure after you feed and soak, you’ll feel a lot better, plus we love stripping your clothes off,” he wiggled his eyebrows and she laughed.

“I’m surprised you let me sleep in my clothes last night?” she questioned as Gage slid her jeans and panties off.

“We didn’t’ want to take the chance of someone coming in and seeing you if something went wrong,” Lars said stepping into the tub.

“Oh, you really thought something would happen to me?” she moaned as Gage handed her off to Lars who lowered her to his lap in the warm water.

“I wasn’t taking any chances. My grandfather is having the same trouble as you. One never knows what happens when the other touches you,” Lars said in her ear.

Across from them Gage sighed as he sat down. She leaned her head back against Lars’ chest and stared at Gage. “You look awfully tired Gage. You should be curled up in bed.” She reached under the water and grabbed one of his feet. “So why do they call that one other? I know the other man was a demon, pure blood.” She asked as she rubbed the arch of his foot.

Taking a sponge, Lars proceeded to soap it up before taking her arm and washing it gently. “We don’t know what they are. These beings can change into any shape or form. With  one touch they can know your whole life, or they can drain you of every fluid you in your body. That’s why you are sore and need to feed. Even though he wasn’t trying to drain anything from you, his skin or whatever you call it, absorbs as he searches.”

He reached for the other arm. “That is why we try not to contact them unless it’s the last resort.”

She scooted up as Lars washed her back. “Where do they live? You would think being separated from everyone would make them resentful and not want to help.” Tamara placed Gage’s one foot down, but before she could grab his other foot, he reached over separating their legs and slid in closer to them.

Taking the sponge from Lars, Gage lifted one of her legs. He ran the soapy thing down her leg as if it was an egg and would crack if he applied pressure. “Come here and feed,” Lars said in her ear and tucked her head into his neck. “You need your strength, please.”

With her body humming from Gage’s hands, Tamara kissed, and then licked the side of Lars’ neck while he cupped her breasts. “Hmm, you’re building a fire here. I hope you’re going to put it out?” she asked into his neck right before sinking her fangs into his skin.

There was no way to describe the taste of Lars. His blood replenished everything that Tamara had lost earlier.

“We will always take care of your heat, baby,” Gage dipped her leg into the water, before dipping two of his fingers into her pussy. “You’re always so ready for us.”

A moan slipped out of her. Gage pulled her forward onto his cock as soon as she sealed the holes in Lars’ neck. “It seems like forever since I’ve been inside you.”

“We have been inside you. Lean forward, beautiful, so I can get you lubed up,” Lars gently pushed her down as Gage leaned down to give him room to work. “Look at that pretty hole and these gorgeous round globes.” He slapped each one before sinking a lubed finger into her ass.

There was no slow slide, but one to inform her she would be taken tonight and claimed again. “Lars…” She wiggled her butt, which earned her another two slaps to her butt.

“Hold still as soon as I get… Aww, there that should be enough.” She looked over her shoulder and realized he hadn’t put a finger in her but the lube plug. “Now you get my cock.”

His gaze met hers as Gage sat up, reaching around to open her up for him. “Hold on, baby.” Gage leaned down and kissed each eye. “God you are so beautiful. Every morning when we wake I can’t wait to see those big green eyes starting up at me.”

“Gage!” She squeaked the last part of his name when Lars pushed the head of his cock into her ass. “Umm, warn me there.” She looked over her shoulder at Lars and grinned.

“You were too busy fawning over Gage’s words, but he does have a wicked mouth, doesn’t he?” Lars teased and Gage grumbled.

“Just wait, next time we’ll see whose ass is being stretched.” Gage leaned over and took Lars’ mouth in a heated kiss. She loved to see them together. Lars dark skin, against Gage’s lighter complexion, both of them struggling for dominance when they were an even match.

However with their dominant display of power, Lars pumped forward once more and embedded himself in her all the way. “Ugg,” She blew out a breath and elbowed him in the gut. “If you keep that up you’re getting off me,” Tamara mumbled and tried to push him back, but he didn’t move.

“I’m so sorry, baby.” Lars broke the kiss and surrounded her with his arms. He kissed the back of her neck. “I told you Gage had a way with his mouth,” he played.

“Well, someone better turn up the heat or both of you can release me,” Tamara mumbled her sexual high in the pits right now.

In a matter of minutes, both men had her crying and begging to move. Her nipples were sore from their touch and her clit begged for that single touch that would send her over, but no. Each one teased her till she cried. “Please…”

“All you had to do was ask,” Gage said.

If she wasn’t in dire need of their loving, she would have smacked the top of his head hairy head. Both of them finally started to move in perfect sync with the other. Gage’s hands were all over her breasts, while Lars circled her clit with his fingers in between smacking her butt cheeks.

“Faster!” She tried to move her hips to encourage them to pick up their pace, but they didn’t follow. A slow sexual loving is what they gave her and Tamara had no choice but to hang on and enjoy it.

Sweat rolled down her face, some going in her eyes, but the water in the tub continued its gentle rolling until finally their pace quickened. Grabbing onto her clit, Lars whispered into ear, “Come.”

One word set her body rolling. The orgasm started at her pussy, but rolled to her toes which were now curled as her body trembled. Tamara dropped her head onto Gage’s chest and waited for her breathing to return to normal. “Hmm, now would be a really good time for a nap.”

She curled her arms under her and rubbed her cheek against his skin. “Love you two. Now take us to bed. All of a sudden I’m very sleepy.”

Each of them kissed her softly. “Let’s clean you off, then we’ll head to bed.” Gage rubbed his chin on her head. Behind her Lars proceeded to clean her lower body with a wash cloth. Even though it was a little embarrassing having him touch her down there, Tamara was slowly getting used to it.

No matter where they were, her men fussed over her. Bath time was for the three of them, where they took care of all her needs. Even with meals, Lars and Gage loved to feed her from their plate. Oh, there were days when Tamara would shut them out of the bathroom, needing her personal space, but for the majority of the time she loved their attention.

Standing, Gage placed her into Lars' hands. He had a large warm towel ready for her. He kissed the top of her head and lowered her feet while he dried her. As soon as that was done, the three of them made their way back to the bedroom.

It was still light outside, but the three of them crawled into the bed. With her men on each side of her, Tamara closed her eyes ready for a good long sleep.

He rolled onto his back and looked up at the ceiling. Both Gage and Tamara still slept soundly. Lars had slept a total of seven hours which shocked him. The events spiraling around them had taken their toll on all of them.
