Glory

I put Sienna down for a nap and went to the kitchen. I didn’t know about Wolf, but I was starving. The meeting had gone longer than I’d expected. A Prospect had made some burgers and fries for everyone, but I’d been too anxious to eat anything. My stomach had been in knots. I still didn’t feel settled. I didn’t know what was going on, or how the club was going to get rid of the Sons of Vassago. What if Wolf got hurt? What if their plan didn’t work and those men still came for me?

I blinked when I realized I’d been staring into the freezer. I shut it and foraged through the cabinets and small pantry, not having any idea what I wanted but I knew we needed to eat. I found a can of chili and some macaroni noodles and decided chili mac would be filling. I boiled the pasta and warmed the can of chili on the stove.

I heard Wolf’s steps behind me before his arms circled my waist. He pressed a kiss to the side of my neck, and I leaned back against him.

“I hope chili mac is okay,” I said.

“I’ll eat whatever you cook. We should probably go to the store again soon. Get some steaks, pork chops, and chicken breasts. Last time most of the fresh stuff at the store was close to expiring, so I couldn’t grab much.”

“I keep waiting for this nightmare to be over, but part of me worries it never will be,” I said. “What if they don’t leave? Will I be trapped in the house forever?”

His hold on me tightened. “No, you won’t be. The club has ties to the Dixie Reapers. It’s part of why Tank knew what we were doing with the clinic. Demon’s woman is the daughter of the Dixie Reapers VP.”

“What do the Dixie Reapers have do with any of this?” I asked, turning to face him.

“Their President is married to an assassin’s daughter. Casper VanHorne is feared by a lot of men around the globe,” Wolf said. “And he’s coming here to help us, as well as another man who goes by Specter.”

“And they’re going to help just because Demon is married to Venom’s daughter?”

He shrugged and his gaze darted away. Okay, so maybe Demon wasn’t married to her. I knew being an old lady was enough for some of the women I’d met both here and at the Dixie Reapers. Not all of them required a wedding ring.

“Not exactly,” he said. “Venom’s other daughter will be coming here. And moving in with Savage.”

I couldn’t recall which one was Savage, but I hadn’t been around the men of the club very much. Only those who had old ladies, which meant Savage was probably single. I narrowed my eyes at Wolf. “Why is she moving in with Savage? And why will they only help if she does?”

“Dammit, Glory. The club doesn’t work the same way as the world out there,” he said, waving a hand in the general direction of town. “Venom needs her protected and tied to a club far enough away from his own that she’ll stay away from temptation. A cop. She’s chasing after a badge, and the VP isn’t pleased. Just stay out of it, please. It’s not our business. It’s between Savage and Mariah. They’ll work it out.”

I backed up, pulling away from him. “It’s not okay, Wolf. If she doesn’t want to be with him and she’s forced to --”

I didn’t get to finish my words before he’d growled and advanced on me, backing me to the counter. Fury lit his eyes and anger rolled off him in waves. All right, so I’d said the wrong thing. My pulse pounded, but I knew he wouldn’t hurt me. Not physically anyway. I had a feeling I was about to receive a verbal lashing, though.

“You think anyone in this club would rape a woman? You think Savage would hold her down and force himself on her?” Wolf snarled. “Is that what you think of me too?”

“What?” My eyes went wide, and I reached for him. “Wolf, no! I didn’t… I don’t know what I meant. It just hit me wrong that she’s being forced to move in with him.”

“He won’t touch her, Glory. Not until she’s ready and wants him to, but she’ll be his either way. It’s what Venom wants. Mariah grew up with the Dixie Reapers. It’s the only life she’s ever known. It won’t come as shock to her when her dad arranges for her to belong to someone else. She had to know it was coming when she defied him and tried to elope with a cop.”

“I’m sorry.” I reached up to cup his cheek. “I didn’t mean to offend you, Wolf, or anyone else. I didn’t understand what you meant. I’m still learning, and I’ll make mistakes along the way.”

He closed his eyes and blew out a breath. “I know. I didn’t mean to scare you or come at you like that. I’m an asshole. You called me Wolf. I hate it when you do that.”

I couldn’t help but smile. “Sometimes you can be an asshole, but you’re mine and I’m yours. We’re going to disagree and fight from time to time, Max. And calling you Wolf seemed appropriate at that moment because you weren’t my Max just then. You were every inch the predator.”

“You’re never my prey, Glory. You’re my woman. My wife. My equal.” He kissed me, soft and slow. “I think you’re burning the chili.”

I gasped and faced the stove, hurrying to stir both pots. It looked done so I drained the noodles, then plated them and smothered them with chili. Wolf handed me a bag of shredded cheese to top it with. We’d just started eating when I heard a giggle outside the kitchen window. I glanced that way, wondering if we were about to have company, and nearly choked on my bite of food.

“Um, Max. Is that… Alora?” I asked.

He looked out the kitchen window and started laughing. “Looks like she’s decided to have some fun.”

“There are kids in the compound,” I murmured, watching as she streaked from yard to the next, losing clothes as she went. “Who is that chasing her?”

“That would be Colorado. Good for him.” Wolf went back to eating, ignoring the two as they ran through the compound, now nearly naked, like they hadn’t a care in the world.

“Think they’ll end up together?” I asked.

“I guess it’s possible, but Colorado doesn’t seem ready to settle. And I’m not sure she’s the type who could hold him for long. They’re probably just enjoying each other’s company.”

I couldn’t wrap my mind around being with some random guy like that. She hadn’t met Colorado until today and they were going to sleep together? Being so much younger than my peers all through school, and then being raped, had skewed my view of things. I knew if it weren’t for Wolf, it would still be me and Sienna with no man in our lives. If Alora could be with Colorado for a one-night stand, or short fling, then I envied her. It wasn’t something I could have ever done. I’d told myself it was what I’d settle for with Wolf, but I’d been wrong. If he’d walked away from me, especially after we’d been intimate, it would have shattered me.

Wolf reached over and took my hand. “Hey, she’ll be okay. He won’t hurt her.”

“I know. I was thinking I’d never been like that. So carefree and open. I envy her a bit. Even though I did end up right where I belong.” I smiled at him. “With you.”

“Love you, Glory.”

“I love you too. So much.”

“Our girl is sleeping,” he pointed out. “How about we go wash off the ugliness of the day? I’ll wash your back if you wash mine.”

I set my fork down. “Together? How…”

“There’s a bench in the shower for a reason. I usually hop into the shower, literally, and wash quickly. Sometimes I sit on the bench and let the water soothe any aches when I can’t manage to get in and out of the tub. There’s a prosthetic leg you can wear in the shower. I’ve looked into it, but I haven’t decided to cough up the money for it yet. The one I’d need is around twenty thousand, and since it’s considered non-essential, I’d have to pay out of pocket for it.”

“We’ll start a fund for it,” I said. “Might take a while, but we’ll save the money, Max. If it will make things easier for you, then I want you to have it.”

“Come on, beautiful. Let’s go shower. We can talk about finances later. Much later.”

I let him lead me to the bathroom and I started the shower. I let him get in first, watching as he hopped over to the bench and sat down. I didn’t know how he didn’t slip and fall. His heated gaze watched every move I made as I stripped out of my clothes and got into the shower with him. After I soaked my hair and body, I reached for his shower gel and worked up a lather in my hands. I spread the soap over his chest and shoulders, making my way down his body. His cock jerked in my grasp as I gave it a stroke.

“Playing with fire,” he said.

“I know, but it’s fun.” I kissed him as my hands explored. When I’d washed all of him I could reach, I took down the detachable shower nozzle and rinsed him off.

“My turn.” He picked up my shower gel and motioned for me to come closer. I stopped between his splayed thighs and shivered as his fingers ran over my skin. By the time he’d soaped every inch of me, I was ready to beg him to fuck me.

I rinsed the soap from my body and let him tug me closer still. Wolf lifted me and settled me across his lap so that I straddled him. When he lowered me, I felt his cock brush against my pussy, and I held onto his shoulders. We hadn’t done it this way yet. What if I was terrible at it?

“Easy, baby,” Wolf murmured. “Just do what feels good.”

I nodded and lowered myself onto his cock. He stroked my clit as I slid down his length, moaning at how full I felt. “Max. I…”

“I’ve got you.” He leaned forward and took my nipple into his mouth, sucking on the peak. I cried out and my hips jerked. The sensation was overwhelming and soon I was riding him without even realizing it. My body seemed to know exactly what to do. “That’s it. Come for me, Glory.”

I moved faster, my hips having a mind of their own as I rode Wolf. It didn’t take long for me to come. I cried out his name as he gripped my hips and thrust up into me, hard and deep. He growled and I felt the heat of his release.

“I think we both needed that,” Wolf said.

“I’m not the one who pulled away,” I pointed out.

He kissed me, holding me closer. “I know. I promise I’ll make it up to you.”

I trailed my finger down his chest. “Right now?”

“Mmm. I think I created a monster. What does my beautiful wife have in mind?”

“Sienna will sleep a while longer. Why don’t we take this to the bedroom?” I suggested, knowing it would be more comfortable for Wolf.

“Then you better clean yourself up because I got you dirty.” He grinned. “Then get your ass on the bed. When I get in there, I expect to find you on your knees. Ass in the air. Thighs spread.”

My clit pulsed and my nipples got even harder. I climbed off Wolf’s lap, cleaned our mingled release off me, and hurried to the bedroom. When he joined me, I was in exactly the position he’d demanded, eagerly waiting.

“You’d mentioned having a small vibrator,” he said. “So I ordered a few things online the next morning. They arrived yesterday. Feeling adventurous?”

“With you?” I glanced at him over my shoulder. “Of course.”

He tossed a small bag onto the bed beside me and a bottle of lube. I felt the mattress dip under his weight and the heat of his body curve over mine. Wolf placed his lips by my ear and lowered his voice to a sexy growl. “Can’t have you screaming and waking Sienna. You going to be good and muffle all that yelling you do when you come?”

“I-I-I… Max, I don’t know how to do that. What if I can’t?”

He reached into the bag and dropped something in front of me. I stared, not quite comprehending what it was. What did he intend to do with a length of cloth? Until… “Is that… a gag?”

“A nice, soft material to make sure you keep quiet,” he said. “You scream and we’ll be trying it out.”

My pussy clenched and I wondered what sort of beast he’d unleashed inside me. Before Wolf, I’d have never contemplated such a thing. Not even when I’d lain in bed at night, alone and a virgin, had I ever thought I’d let a man do something like gag me. What else did he have planned?

A length of white, silky rope landed on the bed next to the gag. “How much do you trust me?”

“With my life,” I admitted.

“I’m going to tie you up, Glory.” His nose traced the shell of my ear. “You okay with that?”

“We can try,” I said, not knowing how I’d react since I’d never done anything like that before.

He kissed my neck, then my shoulder. “That’s all I ask, baby. Try it and see. If you can’t handle it or don’t like it, we’ll stop, and I won’t tie you up ever again. I like the thought of you helpless. Unable to do anything but take all the pleasure I’m going to give you.”

His words lit a fire inside me and I felt my pussy get so slick the wetness slid down my thighs. He wound the rope around the headboard, then wrapped the length around my wrists, binding them together and stretching them over my head. I tugged and realized I couldn’t break free.

I heard a soft buzzing and tried to see what he’d picked up next, but I couldn’t. Not with the way he’d positioned himself. “What’s that?”

“You’ll find out in a moment.”

He worked his hand under my body, and I felt something vibrate against my nipple. I arched my back as pleasure shot through me. “Max!”

“Ah-ah. Remember what I said? You make a bunch of noise and I’ll have to gag you.”

I knew I was about to lose the battle of keeping quiet. He rubbed the vibrator over one nipple, then the other. It set off a small orgasm that made me cry out again and he took the toy away. He sighed, sounding aggrieved, even though I could feel the excitement in the air. He’d hoped I wouldn’t be able to stay silent!

“Open up, Glory,” he said, holding the cloth in front of me. I parted my lips, and he slipped the material between them before tying it behind my head. “Not too tight?”

I shook my head, unable to answer him verbally.

Wolf ran his hand down my spine, then I felt the vibrator against my clit. I thrashed and screamed against the gag, coming immediately and so hard I nearly saw stars. Wolf didn’t let up. It felt like my orgasm was never-ending, and my body still cried out for more. He slid the toy away from my clit and plunged it inside me, thrusting it in and out.

“Got to get it nice and wet,” he said.

I heard a snick and felt something cold slip down the crack of my ass, making me jolt. Wolf soothed me, running his hand over me while he teased me with the toy. When he pulled it free and worked it between my ass cheeks, it felt like my heart stopped a moment. Was he about to do what I thought he was? He teased me with the vibrator before slowly easing it inside me.

My thighs shook and I lifted my ass higher. God, it felt… strange but good.

“That’s it. So pretty. You like that, don’t you?” he asked.

I nodded.

He thrust the toy in and out, slow and deep until I thought I’d lose my mind. My pussy felt empty, and I wanted to come again. I whimpered and wiggled, wanting to beg for more. He plunged the toy deep and leaned over me, his body trapping the toy so it wouldn’t slide out. I felt his cock press against me and soon he was filling my pussy. I threw my head back, nearly sobbing with how incredible I felt. Between the toy and his cock, I was so full, and the buzzing sensation was almost too much.

Wolf fucked me. Slow. Deep. He took his time, teasing me. Bringing me close to the edge only to back off again. All it took was one swipe of his finger over my clit and it felt like I broke into a million pieces. Stars burst across my vision and I couldn’t breathe, the pleasure was so intense. Wolf pounded into me and I felt the hot splashes of his release as he drove his cock into me again and again.

“Fuck!” He roared as he slammed into me three more times, then held still, filling me up and panting for breath. He worked the gag free and pressed his head to my shoulder. “Damn, Glory. That was… incredible. You okay?”

I nodded. “Yeah.”

My pussy clenched on him and my clit felt like my heartbeat had moved down there. He groaned and thrust into me a few more times before pulling out. “We didn’t even get to the other toys I’d bought. We’ll have to try them soon. If you react the way you did to these, then we’ll need someone to watch Sienna for the night because I’m going to make you come for hours.”

I groaned. “Max, you’re going to break me. Is death by orgasm a thing?”

He chuckled. “No. You’ll survive, but you may be walking funny the next day. Your pussy and ass will be sore, but it will be the good kind.”

I sighed. “I think we need another shower.”

He kissed my shoulder, my cheek, then claimed my lips. “No. I want my cum on you the rest of the night. Besides, I plan on fucking you again later.”

He pulled the toy from my ass and tossed it aside. After he untied me, he pulled me into his arms and held me. It wasn’t long before I managed to fall asleep, even though sunlight still streamed through the windows.
