Wolf Read online

“Oh sweet baby girl,” he finally said after a ling minute of silence. “No fucking way! He didn’t!” His hands were curled into white knuckled fists at his sides.

  She slowly nodded. “W-when...” She tried again.” After I passed out— but I never knew the truth till years later. When I had my first appointment with a gynecologist at 16. She stopped her examination and asked if I’d had sex already. I told her no...” She lowered her head. “I mean it never traumatized me as I wasn’t even awake when it happene—”

  Wolf grabbed her up and almost crushed her in a breathless embrace. “No one will ever hurt you again! Do you hear me?”

  She gulped heavily and gasped out, “I-I hear you.”

  Abrupt like, Wolf let go of her. “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to crush—”

  Grabbing his face, she planted her lips onto his and pushed her tongue into his mouth.

  Wolf seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

  Eija didn’t know how to kiss really, but with his reaction, she now knew that he maybe didn’t want her. He wasn’t kissing her bac—

  Suddenly, he wrapped his arms around her and delved his tongue back in meeting hers.

  Relief washed through her.

  He kissed her hard and deep.

  Eija felt like she might just float up and off the bed. Her body was heating up. Her moans were getting louder. Her nipples were suddenly hard and erect.

  Slowly, he pulled his lips from hers. “I can definitely do the moon. Maybe not like Mars or anything...” He smiled softly as he scooched down and laid beside her. “But if we do this, you’re mine. You belong to me and I’m claiming you.”

  “I don’t know what that means... claiming?”

  “You will when I get done with you. I promise you that.” He smiled as he pushed her over on her back and looked down at her. Without saying anything, he loomed over her and pressed his lips on hers again.

  Wrapping her arms around his neck, Eija hung on while they explored each other for a few minutes with their mouths and tongues.

  Chapter Nine

  Wolf began undressing her and she helped him. He stripped off her t-shirt and was treated to a beautiful sight in front of her breasts—they were glorious. Sweet and creamy looking as they spilled over the top of her bra. His mouth almost watered at the sight of them.

  She went red and tried to cover up.

  He wouldn’t let her. “No, don’t cover up. You’re beautiful and I want to see all of you.”

  She snorted. “I’m not beautiful and nothing you can say will ever convince me of that.”

  Wolf glared at her. “You are beautiful to me and don’t you dare argue about it. I want this body and I want you.”

  She stared at him as if she doubted this, then she finally told him. “But I want to see you too.”

  He smiled and backed away from her, as he got undressed. She finished taking her own clothes off and soon they were both naked.

  Wolf turned to stare at her in awe.

  She simply stared back at him.

  He knew what she would see. His chest was broad and well muscled. It was also covered in tats. A huge wolf was prominent on the left side of his chest. His chest was also covered in a fine layer of dark hair.

  Eija shyly reached out to touch it and found the hair to be so soft.

  Wolf groaned as her fingers brushed over his chest and when she neared his male nipple, he grasped her hand and pulled it away. “Those are very sensitive right now and I don’t want to lose it before I get inside you.”

  She reddened. “Are you sure you want this?” she whispered softly.

  “Oh yeah, I want this,” he assured her. “I want you and I intend to have you.” He pushed her gently on her back and settled into her cradle. His cock was hard and he dry humped her. He groaned when he felt how wet she was and her scent drove him crazy. She smelled like pure vanilla and some kind of flower. His mouth watered at the scent as he lowered his mouth to her skin. He licked her neck and the sounds she made encouraged him to go further. His lips closed over the base of her neck and he could feel the beat of her heart inside his mouth.

  Nudging her to open her legs a bit more, she accommodated him. Her core was wet and dripping as he coated his cock in her juices. Then he plunged in deep.

  Eija caught her breath.

  He stilled as he realized that despite what she told him, she wasn’t ready for a move like that.

  “Please don’t stop now. Just give me the pleasure,” she begged him.

  Wolf groaned and began to move slowly. Thrusting in and out, he began making love to her. This was way beyond sex and he knew it. This was making love.

  Soon, her body relaxed and she seemed to enjoy his possession.

  Wolf felt like she fit him to the extreme. He felt nothing but that pleasure he’s spoken of as he continued to please them both. He leaned over and licked her flesh. Her breasts filled his hands as he suckled her nipples.

  She moaned and arched her chest to fill his mouth with those sweet tasting nipples of hers.

  Wolf began pounding into her and she took what he offered gladly. She climbed to the top of the abyss and with another thrust, she flew over the top. She screamed out, Angus as she came.

  He never thought to hear that name on her lips and he felt supreme as she screamed it over and over. He quickly covered her mouth with his own. He thrust again and again and even a third time before he followed her over the edge. Filling her completely, he groaned as he poured himself into her.

  He dropped down on top of her when he finally finished and he couldn’t move, though he tried to keep his weight on his hands on either side of her body. After a few minutes, he slipped off of her and settled down beside her. He gazed at her in awe. “That was spectacular.”

  She turned around and looked at him. “I did ok then?”

  He groaned. “Baby, any better and I’d be dead.”

  “Well, I wouldn’t want that.” She giggled. “It was pretty good.”

  “I have one question though?” he finally asked.

  She repeated what he’d said to her before, “Ask me anything.”

  “You’d never been with anyone...like this?”

  She sighed. “After what happened to my mom and me, my dad never left me alone. He said he couldn’t take a chance and lose me too, so I never got close enough to anyone else to even wonder about having sex with them.”

  He shook his head. “Babe, what we did was more than just having sex. So much more.”

  She giggled. “Oh, I know that. I touched the moon!” she exclaimed then she fell quiet for a couple of minutes. “Um... can we go there again?”

  Wolf chuckled. “You can count on that. We’ll be doing it again and again. And maybe we will even get to Mars. I’m your astronaut baby.”

  They both laughed loudly until tears rolled down both of their faces.

  “Yeah that wasn’t a cheesy line at all,” he stated sarcastically.

  “It was funny, but I believe you.” She let out another snort of cute laughter then snuggled down next to him.

  A little later, Wolf cleaned her up. This time it was her neck.

  They both enjoyed that as she hopped up and rushed to the restroom.

  Wolf got to watch her sweet butt all the way there. He now knew he would be grabbing that ass a lot in the future.

  She came out with her own washcloth and gave his privates, a new way to salute. He even told her this and they laughed again. Wolf realized he’d hadn’t laughed like this since he was a boy.

  Finally, he knew they needed to join the others.

  Supper was on and Wolf fixed them both a plate.

  While they ate, Jackal filled Wolf in as to what they had set up already. “We set some traps in the woods and added more cameras. Tomorrow, we’ll put out even more traps. We want him thrown off his game completely.”

  Wolf nodded and ate a few bites.

  Then Jackal cleared his throat.

  When Wolf looked up, he noticed Jackal stari
ng at Eija’s neck. He nodded and looked over at her. “Babe, you need to tell them about your mom.”

  Eija laid down her fork and tucked her hands in her lap. “I don’t want to.”

  “Do you want me to then? They really need to know.” He then paused. “It is yours to tell, but really they might think I...” He shook his head. “Never mind, they won’t think that.”

  “What is it we need to know?” Jackal asked, as he looked even more curious now.

  Wolf looked over at Eija.

  She gave him a slow nod.

  “Twelve years ago, her mother died in a home invasion,” Wolf told them. “She tried to stop it from happening and he began to strangle her. Then when he thought she was dead, he branded her.” Wolf couldn’t and wouldn’t tell them about the rape. He grabbed her hand and squeezed it.

  She had tears in her eyes as she nodded. She knew he would never do such a thing.

  “Who?” Apollo demanded.

  “Bullet.” Wolf growled.

  “Are you sure about this?” Jackal asked.

  Eija pushed her sleeve up and showed them her branding.

  Apollo got up, came over to her, and studied the marking. It didn’t take him long to turn around, go to the nearest wall and throw a hard punch. When his huge fist hit the wall, he roared in rage and his fist went through the wall. “That lousy fucking bastard!” He snarled.

  “Do you know that mark?” Jackal asked.

  “Yeah, I know that fucking mark. He wore a ring with that same mark.”

  Wolf now curled his hand around his cup until it cracked. He then set it down as it fell apart on the table.

  Shade stared at him. “So he murdered Mrs. Savage twelve years ago?”

  Apollo nodded. “Yeah, he fucking murdered Savage’s wife and damn near got his daughter too.”

  “Why did he step out of his zone for this family?” Beast wanted to know.

  “Something triggered it,” Wolf suggested.

  “But what was it?” Jackal asked.

  “That’s the question isn’t it?” Shade stated as he shook his head.

  Eija frowned as a random thought popped into her head. “I think I know.”

  Everyone turned to her.

  Wolf asked, “What do you know?”

  “Just before I passed out, I heard him screaming something. It didn’t make any sense to me at the time but it might to you guys. He kept saying it wasn’t his fault. The ambush wasn’t supposed to happen the way it did. No one was supposed to die, just be taken hostage, so he could rescue them and be a hero.”

  Wolf sat up straight in his chair. “What did you say?”

  Eija looked at him and repeated it, “He said the ambush wasn’t supposed to happen. No one was supposed to die. He set things up, so he could be a hero.”

  “That’s just fucked up man.” Shade shook his head.

  “He’d been making friends in the village all the time we were there,” Apollo claimed. “He wanted to have a network of friends to be warned when the enemy was around. When we set off on recon that day, he was nervous and twitchy. I didn’t realize it at the time. That must have been him not getting word about the enemy being in the area.”

  “Then when the shooting started he just laid there thinking we would figure he was dead.” Wolf snarled. “So while we were taken hostage, he was faking it the whole fucking time.”

  “He never came back for us. He just walked away.” Apollo shook his head. “He betrayed us and just walked away.”

  Jackal snorted. “That was his way of stepping out on his own. He didn’t need the Marines anymore and thought that was the perfect way to end things.”

  “But why did he have to kill my mom?” Eija wanted to know. “She never did anything to him.”

  “I think he did it because he hated your dad,” Wolf told her gently. “Your dad rode his ass constantly in the field. He made him follow the rules and Ridley hated following the rules. After we were rescued, your dad upped the guard and made it impossible for him to sneak back into camp. So he began his reign of death by taking out the authority of the camp. Leaving the headstone got to be his trademark.”

  “He not only shot seven members of his own troops he also took out twenty members of the enemy camp,” Jackal added. “Then somehow, he got home before we did.”

  Wolf nodded. “I remember Savage took off a week or so before we were released. I heard he was granted emergency leave but we never knew why.”

  “Well, we know why now, don’t we?” Beast suggested.

  Jackal sighed. “And the damn military never told us the truth. They couldn’t have something like that go public, as they already knew he was insane and they had trained him to be even more lethal. I bet they threaten Ben if he did tell anyone. And now he’s coming back for her twelve years later.”

  “We’re going to make sure he doesn’t get to her again.” Wolf growled. “Its time to stop the madness and by God, we’re going to stop it here and now.”

  Chapter Ten

  Later that day, Wolf was searching the map of the property where the traps we set. They had covered the woods pretty well.

  Jackal had spoken to Silas and gotten some of his men to watch over the area for Ridley and so far, there was no sign of the man.

  Eija had been sitting off by herself as he rolled up the map and joined her. “Are you all right?”

  “I guess so,” she admitted. “I just want this over. So much time has passed and he needs to be stopped.”

  “He will be. This will be his last stand,” Wolf assured her.

  “But I don’t want anyone else to have to die at his hand.” Eija shook her head.

  “And no one else will.”

  She sighed heavily. “You don’t know that.”

  “I do. I have a feeling things will work out in a good way.”

  “God, I hope so,” she stated sadly, “I’m so tired of hurting this bad. That fucker has killed almost my whole family.”

  “You got a new family now sweetheart. Me and the brothers will be your family,” he promised her.

  “Will they accept me?”

  “They already have.” He grasped her hand, lifted it, and kissed her palm gently but warmly.

  Gazing into his eyes, she said, “Then all we have to do is live through this.”

  A short time later, Jackal received a ping on his phone. He read the text and looked up at the men. “Our lookouts says he’s on his way to the compound.” He got to his feet. “Let’s get in place boys.”

  “Where do you want me?” Apollo asked.

  “I need you, Wolf and Eija to stay inside and away from the windows. Let us take care of this.”

  “No Fucking way.” Apollo growled. “That bastard has threatened me and mine and there’s no way, I’m going to hide from that coward.”

  “I’m not either boss.” Wolf growled “I need to be out there as well.”

  “Ok, then you and Apollo go up to the roof. You can take sniper rifles with you. If you find him, let us know where he is.”

  “Ok. I need someone to watch over Eija,” Wolf replied.

  “Forget it soldier boy.” Eija growled. She got up and began to pace. “I can take care of myself. My daddy taught me how to shoot and how to watch my back. You guys get up on the roof. I’m going to get my weapon and a good place to watch from. That way, if you miss the fucker, I’ll take his sorry ass out.” She rushed away and walked down the hall to the bedroom where her bag was.

  The men all looked at each other, feeling stunned.

  Apollo let out a low chuckle.

  The brothers now all swiveled their gazes over at him.

  “It’s true.” Apollo let out a hard sigh. “Ben raised her at the shooting range. Taught her how to use different weapons, including knives, grenades and various weapons. He knew all along he had to do that, so she could defend herself one day. Then I found out the hard way that she also know self defense. I was sorry I’d underestimated her when I tried to get her into
that dammed truck to come here. Why do you think I had to tie her up?”

  Eija returned a few moments later with a sniper rifle of her own in her hand. She looked over at Wolf. “You better come back to me when this is over, Wolf Man. I won’t be left alone again.” She gazed right into his eyes. “Just don’t get dead okay?”

  All Wolf could do was nod and he was hard as a fucking diamond. The woman looked sexy as fuck with her blue eyes blazing and her holding a rifle that perfectly matched the one he owned. Yes, that was what he felt. She was his perfect woman.

  He moved through the woods. He’d been studying maps of this area for many years, and he had been here many times as well. This was his glory. His victims never knowing he’d even been there. He’d had to wait through the day though for this kill, he’d waited twelve years in fact. Not that he hadn’t been busy. He chuckled as he paused to look around again.

  Joel Ridley, aka Adam Bateman, aka, Peter Norton, Azrael the hitman for hire... the angel of death. Aka Bullet. Damn, what a fucking ride it had been. Some here at this compound might believe he was here for Apollo and Wolf, but in reality, he wanted Eija Savage even more. He had tasted her years back and had felt obsessive ever since. A ripe virgin and she was his, yeah maybe she wasn’t his usual type, but he could never forget her. On top of that, she hadn’t been there when he’d done Ben in. He’d wanted Ben to have to watch him take her all over again, then kill him, so he wouldn’t know if Bullet would kill her or keep her as his captive, to have her again and again, till he was tired of her...then kill her. He snickered but the feeling didn’t last long. He hadn’t lived out that fantasy and he wanted to so very badly.

  Sure, he’d wanted Apollo dead. Just dead. Not even to torture the big ass soldier. Just wanted him gone, as he might be the only one as skilled as Bullet. He shrugged. Not true really, but everyone had thought so, back in that God forsaken Sand Box. Then yeah, he hated Wolf. That fucker had been snooping into his business for fucking years and he had ruined the perfect hero scheme back in the desert, all those years ago. The best fucking fantasy scheme Bullet had ever thought up...at the time. The prick was just fucking nosy as shit and he needed to die, just to put the fucker down would please him mightily. And he would make it all happen for sure. Just like the rest of them.
