Rookery Cove: Kidnapping Karisma Read online

  “You do realize you’ve just identified yourself as our mate,” Jae murmured softly.

  She turned, eyes wide, and stared at Jae. After a moment she seemed to have found her tongue. “Does that mean you’re going to tell me what the hell is wrong with you two? You both are mute and look pissed at the world.”

  Jae watched her intently. “I don’t think you --”

  His words were cut off mid-speech when Karisma stood from her seat. Aleka captured her arm before she could leave the table. She slowly lowered her frame into the seat and cocked her head to the side. “Give it to me now.”

  “I can smell you on Jae.” She chewed her bottom lip. “You’re mad because we had lunch.” Aleka leaned across the table and captured her gaze. “We both know that’s not the kind of scent I’m talking about. I can smell your satisfaction.” One dark eyebrow lifted in disbelief. “What are you talking about?” Aleka smiled. Karisma was determined to call his bluff. “I can smell your sex all over him.” He leaned a little closer to Jae and took a deep breath. “I’m guessing he went down on you. From what I hear he’s pretty good at that. Did you enjoy him, Kitty?” Karisma exploded. “He did not…” She waved in Jae’s direction. Aleka smiled. They had yet to sleep together and Kitty was full of pent-up sexual frustration.

  “Would you like to get closer?” The words slipped past Aleka’s lips before he got a chance to think about the words or their implication. As a unit, the Kanakis men had decided on a plan to seduce their reluctant mate. And Aleka was changing the rules mid game.

  Her eyes widened and her breathing deepened. Slightly. But just enough to let Aleka know he had moved her with his words. She shifted in her seat and the scent of her desire rolled over him.

  Damn!

  It was potent, thick, and sweet. Just like the woman in front of him. “Well, Kitty?” She straightened and he knew he’d made a mistake. “You’re an ass, you know that.” Before he could think of what to say to placate her, she stood. “Screw you both, and no, not in that way.” “I want him. We want each other.”

  Karisma stopped in her tracks and turned around. She walked back to the table and sat down. “What did you just say?”

  “Aleka is not just my pack mate, he’s my other mate.”

  She stared at both of them, her gaze drifting from him to Jae. “You two…?”

  “Yes,” Aleka said as Jae nodded his head in agreement. They had not started out as lovers, but after living together as pack mates for several months, the sexual tension had gotten to the boiling point. The first time he and Jae made love, the experience had been explosive.

  In the morning they had been forced to accept that they were both lovers and pack mates. It had changed the dynamics of the group, but for the better.

  They had discovered that they weren’t the only ones feeling sexually connected to another pack member. Bailey and Malik had been keeping their desires under wraps, afraid of how he and Jae would take it. Once they had accepted that their affection for one another was not quite brotherly, the Kanakis men had settled into a comfortable existence.

  That is, until Bailey had literally run into Karisma on a street corner outside a sewing machine repair shop. The bestial nature of the werewolf had roared to the surface at the contact. He’d had a hard time keeping his beast under control, it was so determined to mark and mate with Karisma.

  He and Jae had gone to check out Karisma on their own. And had been surprised when their own beasts cried out for her. Malik’s reaction to her had been the same. Aleka was hoping that he and his mates could convince her to accept them as they were. Bisexual tendencies and all.

  Karisma’s gaze moved from him to Jae and back to him. She licked her lips slowly. “What are you… saying?”

  A smile spread across Aleka’s handsome face. “Do you like to watch, Kitty?”

  Chapter Five

  Lovely, Lonely One

  Jae felt his breathing deepen the moment Aleka closed the bedroom door behind the trio. Karisma turned at the soft click of the lock being engaged. Darkness shrouded her honey brown eyes. She chewed her lip and glanced back at the closed exit. He could feel her tension and apprehension in the air.

  She was going to bolt.

  The last thing he wanted to experience was the pain that came when she turned and hid from him, his mates, and what she was feeling inside… what their presence stirred deep inside of her.

  He strode across the room and wrapped his hands around her softly rounded shoulders. She looked up at him, lips parted in surprise. He kissed her hard before she could utter a single word.

  Jae felt the kiss stir something deep inside of him on impact. It was always this way when he touched Karisma. Like a lightning strike to his core.

  “Kiss me back, sweetie,” he murmured against her lips before deepening the kiss. He felt her smile right before she stood on her toes and wrapped her arms around his neck. He lifted Karisma as his tongue danced with hers.

  A flash of potent arousal flamed through him when she rolled her hips against the steadily growing bulge between his thighs. Jae groaned Karisma’s name into her mouth before breaking off their torrid kiss. He slowly placed her on her feet, all the time keeping the heated gaze of the man who stood behind her. The moment her feet touched the ground Aleka reached for her.

  His long, tanned fingers tangled into the mass of Karisma’s curly hair and pulled her to him. She eagerly went into his arms. Jae watched, heart pounding, as Aleka lowered his head to capture Karisma’s lush mouth. Their lips pressed against one another and the temperature in the room seemed to immediately increase. Until that moment Jae had never understood Aleka’s attraction to watching and being watched. He took a step closer to the couple. Aleka stopped kissing Karisma and looked up to catch his gaze.

  Karisma turned and glanced over her shoulder. Jae’s gaze lowered to look into her eyes. She smiled and cocked her head to the side. Jae felt like he’d been set free. He’d been terribly afraid when the moment came, Karisma wouldn’t be able to accept the fact that he and Aleka were more than pack mates.

  Jae crossed the small distance that separated him from Aleka. He heard the soft tread of Karisma’s heels as she moved to take a seat across from where they stood. He started to glance at her when Aleka cupped his face. He turned and caught the gaze of desire-darkened blue eyes. The muscles of his lower abdomen tightened at the sight.

  He knew that look in Aleka’s eyes. It promised him a night of utmost pleasure. Jae watched the slow descent of Aleka’s face as the blond dipped his head to capture Jae’s lips. The first touch of Aleka’s lips against his caressed Jae to the core. His body heated up and his muscles tightened in preparation for the coming pleasure.

  Passion and satisfaction were always guaranteed in Aleka’s hands. A low, dark groan slipped from Jae’s lips when Aleka wrapped his arms around his neck. Skillful fingers slowly threaded through the dark, silky strands of his hair. After a moment, Jae felt Aleka release the long length of his hair from its black leather binding. The soft, thick strands brushed across his shoulders in a caress that settled deep in his gut.

  A kiss and the sweetest of honeyed touches and Jae could feel his orgasm rising to the surface.

  Aleka broke off their wicked kiss and looked down at him. “We’re going to have to take it slow, my dragon, to ensure our mate gets the most pleasure from our satisfaction.”

  Jae nodded slowly as Aleka’s words sunk into his consciousness. He would not be coming soon. Aleka wanted to draw out their experience until Karisma had found her own release. Jae smiled and lowered his head. He flicked his tongue back and forth across Aleka’s sensitive pulse before running his tongue north until he reached the under curve of the blond’s chiseled jaw.

  Aleka’s hands snaked under Jae’s simple tee shirt to skim over his naked torso. Calloused fingertips danced over the ridges of his six-pack, and the indentation that separated his pectorals from his abdomen, before one hand tweaked the swollen tip of one flat nipple.<

  Jae groaned Aleka’s name against his throat before reaching down and grabbing his shirt. Aleka grasped the cool silver ring in his left nipple and tugged gently. Jae’s curse of pleasure came out in a harsh growl as he ripped his tee shirt over his head. As the fabric flew through the air, Aleka’s broad palms moved down Jae’s back, mapping the strong muscles until he reached the full curve of the dragon’s ass. Fingers dipped into his jeans to cup naked flesh. Jae was not fond of underwear.

  Aleka’s index finger teased the indentation between Jae’s ass cheeks before the phoenix stepped back and moved his hands to Jae’s front. Jae looked down as Aleka knelt before him and popped the first button on his dark, stonewashed denims. Aleka lifted his face and their gazes collided. Bright eyes burned into Jae’s eyes as Aleka slowly lowered his zipper. Time seemed to inch by slowly as the zipper teeth were widened until finally the lowest curve of Jae’s pelvis was revealed. Aleka pulled Jae’s jeans down the corded length of his thighs and Jae kicked out of his remining clothing.

  Finally, Jae stood before the other man totally naked. Rising, Aleka reached down and grasped the long, thick length of Jae’s erection. A soft gasp that was tinged with surprise and desire floated through the pungent air. Jae and Aleka turned to peer at the woman sitting across from where they stood.

  Karisma sat, legs parted, watching them with hungry eyes. Her hands were digging into her softly rounded thighs, inching toward the heat he knew burned between her legs.

  Not turning from her, Aleka and Jae glided to one another. Feeling as though he was moving in slow motion, Jae dropped to his knees. Karisma’s eyes widened and her breathing deepened. Before he turned to Aleka, Jae saw the stark white of her teeth dig into her bottom lip.

  Unlike Aleka, Jae found he could not torture himself or Karisma by slowly undoing the phoenix’s bottoms. Within moments Jae found himself staring at the thick length of Aleka’s cock. The head was a deeper red, almost purple color. Heavily veined and thick, the shaft curved slightly to the left. He wrapped his fingers around Aleka’s dick and tightened his grip, making a fist around the turgid organ.

  A smile flashed across Jae’s face when Aleka groaned out an expletive in Greek. And he had yet to do anything to garner the curse.

  Jae glanced up quickly to find Aleka watching him with passion darkened eyes. He leaned forward and brushed a slow kiss against the ruddy head of Aleka’s cock. Then Jae swiped his tongue across the cockhead, making sure to press his tongue to the slit. He swallowed the taste of pre-cum as he wrapped his lips around Aleka’s hard length.

  “Oh goddess,” Karisma breathed out on a whisper.

  Jae felt emboldened by the erotic sound. He leaned forward and took more of Aleka’s cock into his mouth, lapping his tongue against the bottom of the rigid organ.

  “Jae,” Aleka growled darkly.

  He knew what that tone meant. The phoenix was quickly moving toward his breaking point. But Jae wasn’t ready to let Aleka find release. He wanted the big blond inside him when he did that. He slowly pulled back, licking his way up Aleka’s cock until he reached the ruddy tip. Unable to help himself, Jae tightened his grip and flicked his tongue against the head’s unseeing eye. Aleka jerked, thrusting his cock deeper into the slick, tight grip of Jae’s fist.

  Jae looked up and caught the look of rapture on his handsome mate’s face. Eyes closed, Aleka was lost in the sensation of pleasure. And Jae took great pride in the fact that he had brought the great phoenix to that point. Golden lashes lifted and he found himself staring into Aleka’s bright blue eyes.

  Aleka reached down, wrapped his large hand in Jae’s hair, and lifted Jae to his feet. “Damn, your pretty mouth is dangerous,” he groaned before capturing Jae’s lips in a bruising, tongue tangling kiss. Sweat beaded across Jae’s skin. Nerve endings seemed to light up and tingle at the devastating feel of Aleka’s tongue sliding over his. The man knew how to kiss.

  When Aleka and Jae broke off the kiss, they were both breathing hard. Jae lifted his eyes and caught Aleka’s gaze. The phoenix took in a deep breath and lifted his arms. Broad palms pushed at Jae’s wiry shoulders. Jae grinned and fell to the bed with a dramatic sigh. Aleka pounced on him immediately, pressing his full lips to Jae’s nipple and twirling his tongue in the silver ring there. Slowly, Aleka made his way down Jae’s torso, alternating between placing little nipping kisses, running the broad length of his tongue down Jae’s abdomen, and sucking the flesh. By the time Aleka reached Jae’s pelvis, the dragon was breathing hard through parted lips, trying desperately not to lift his hips and beg for release.

  Even though Jae knew that was the response Aleka was trying to get out of him, he wasn’t ready to give the phoenix that satisfaction. Jae wanted to draw out every minute between them.

  He leaned up on his elbows and looked above Aleka. His gaze caught Karisma’s. Her eyes were so wide with shock and desire Jae swore he could see right into her bright soul. She blinked. He realized it had taken her a moment to notice that he was watching her. She swiped her tongue across the fleshy curve of her bottom lip. He felt the slow glide deep in his balls.

  “She’s beautiful, isn’t she? So full of passion, so full of desire, I can’t help but imagine how wet and tight she would feel around me when I thrust into her.”

  Jae dropped his gaze to find Aleka looking up at him. The palms of the blond’s hands landed atop his thighs. He broke off his gaze to stare at the lightly furred hands on him. He couldn’t help imagining how he would feel if both Aleka and Karisma were in bed with him… if he was plunging deep into Karisma’s cunt as she suckled Aleka… or tasting the sweet, distinctive flavor of her sheath as Aleka thrust into him.

  Jae fell back to the bed and groaned the phoenix’s full name when Aleka wrapped his long, blunt fingers round his cock and tightened his hold. Aleka slid his palm up, teasing the dragon to the tip. His cock jerked in Aleka’s grasp and a dark shudder ran through him. Aleka held Jae’s cock tight against his stomach and swiped his tongue down his inner thigh. Jae grunted when Aleka used his free hand to lift his thigh. “Shit.” Aleka’s tongue strayed all the way to his perineum and fluttered against the sensitive area.

  Jae’s hips lifted of their own volition when Aleka thrust his tongue into his rosette. Tight tendrils of pleasure danced down his spine, igniting a deep fire in his gut. “Damn it, Aleka,” he groaned when the phoenix pressed his warm, moist tongue more intimately against his dark hole. When Aleka began a steady thrust and retreat rhythm, Jae knew he was a goner.

  “Stop playing and fuck me,” he grunted even as he lifted his hips for Aleka’s mouth.

  They both knew Aleka was the man in charge, but Jae couldn’t help pushing at the other man’s control. He wanted Aleka deep inside of him, putting out the fire that seemed to burn steadily through his loins and giving him the relief he craved.

  Fingers gripped his thighs almost punishingly. Jae’s fingers tightened in the sheets beneath him as his back curled. A palm landed on his inner thigh. He yelped as his eyes snapped open. He held Aleka’s wicked gaze.

  “Turn over and give me that tight ass.”

  Jae took a deep breath and forced the air out through his parted lips. Damn! Aleka, the man, was potent. Aleka, the lover, was intoxicating. He turned, got on his knees and spread his thighs, exposing his rosette. Jae couldn’t help looking over his shoulder and glancing at Aleka. Aleka’s palm stilled, wrapped around the swollen head of his shaft. Jae threw him a smile before moving his head to the left and capturing Karisma’s gaze. She shuddered and pulled two fingers from her sex. Still holding his gaze she thrust three fingers into her tight sheath. He felt the burn of her wet heat coat his hands, move down his arm, before snaking its way to his balls.

  “Deeper, sweetheart. I want you to come while we watch you.”

  Her jaw dropped and her breasts jiggled as she took in a straggling breath at Aleka’s words. After a moment she nodded her head and plunged her fingers deeper into her cunt. The rich scent of her sex p
ermeated the air, filled his nostrils, and fed him potent desire.

  Every experience with his phoenix lover brought Jae pleasure. He’d imagined how good it would feel to have Karisma with them, enjoying their every touch and kiss, but nothing, no dream, no reverie, could have prepared him for the reality. Every act and every emotion was a thousand times more intense than he’d envisioned.

  And he wasn’t even touching Karisma.

  “Oh goddess,” she called out on a breathless whisper. Karisma was seconds from an orgasm.

  “That’s it, baby. Don’t stop. Don’t you fucking stop!” The words were torn from Jae’s lips before the thoughts had formed.

  She jerked as though she’d been burned and then a deep spasm wracked her body. Cream coated her fingers and the swollen lips of her pussy as her body shook through her release. He licked his lips and imagined he was tasting her cream, drinking in the essence of her satisfaction. He knew her distinctive flavor. It had been emblazoned in his mind from the first touch of his tongue against her cunt. Suddenly he didn’t want to be the one tasting her. No, he wanted Karisma to know what her own pleasure tasted like.

  “Lick your fingers clean, Kitty.”

  “Damn,” she groaned before slipping her fingers from her sex. The slick, erotic sound of flesh moving through wet flesh cut through the air. Beside him, Aleka growled. Together they watched as Karisma lifted her small, dark fingers and held them before her lips. Her passion-darkened, heavy-lidded eyes lifted and drifted between them. Holding Aleka’s gaze, she stuck out her tongue and licked the length of her thumb. Jae felt his stomach clench with arousal at the wanton sight. He’d never been so entranced by a woman before.

  It was fitting that the woman in question was his mate.

  Karisma turned and snagged his gaze.

  Holding it, she licked her fingers clean, taking her tantalizing time until all of her cream was gone. He was harder than stone and at the edge of an orgasm by the time she was finished. He started to climb out of the bed, intent on finishing what her wicked actions started, when Aleka’s arm draped around his waist. He landed hard against the other man’s broad chest. “No, you don’t,” Aleka growled with a delicious chuckle. “Your ass is mine. Get on all fours.”
