Soul Mates Box Set 2 Page 6

  Lanie turned to Emma.

  “Welcome to the family, Emma. I’m sorry about earlier. I couldn’t help teasing Kane. If you ever need anything, please don’’t hesitate to call me, anytime. Kane will give you my number.”

  Emma smiled at Lanie and felt silly. Lanie was obviously happy and in love with her mate. How could she possibly think Lanie was interested in Kane?

  The group ate dinner and discussed their plan to infiltrate Genesis 23. Emma would contact Steven, asking him to dinner. She would lament not having her own wolf and hopefully he would arrange for her to see a wolf, maybe even take her to where they were being held. Kane insisted on going with her and Lucien refused.

  “Kane, I know how I would react if that were Lanie instead of Emma. I would kill any man that flirted with her. I wouldn’t be able to stop myself. I’m sorry, but you will have to stay here. You will have to trust in Emma to be true to you. Nicolai and Harley will accompany her and keep her safe.”

  “But I’m more comfortable with Georges and Baxter,” Emma protested.

  “I know you are, but Nicolai and Harley are excellent bodyguards. Aside from Kane, they are my best soldiers. In addition to their skills, they have a much better sense of smell than humans. If a wolf is in the area, they will know it. Besides, having Nicolai there will help to ease Kane’s concern. They are good friends and Kane knows Nicolai would never allow anything to happen to you.”

  Emma agreed since it would help Kane deal with her being near Steven.

  “I really can’t stand Steven. My biggest fear is not being able to hide my disgust from him.”

  “Luckily for you, he is a human, so he can’t smell your emotions. You’ll be fine, Emma. But don’t worry. If you feel scared or so disgusted with him that you have to leave, the wolves will scent it and remove you from the situation. That’s another reason to have them as your guards.”

  “Okay. I…I’ll do my best.” Lucien smiled at her gently.

  “You don’t have to do this at all Emma, but we do appreciate your sacrifice to help our wolves. I am glad that you are part of this family. I’m proud of what you have done so far, in freeing two wolves. I know Kane is very proud of you.” Kane beamed at Lucien’s compliment.

  “Now that everything’s settled, get out of my house so I can take my mate to bed.” Lucien growled in warning.

  “Lucien! Behave!” Lanie admonished him.

  Just then a cry was heard over the baby monitor discreetly placed on the curio cabinet behind Nicolai.

  “Uh, oh, someone’s awake. I’ll get her this time,” Lanie said to Lucien and slipped off his lap. Lucien swore.

  “Every single time! She must have radar or something!” He shook his head, obviously disappointed that his plans to satisfy his mate were ruined.

  “We could babysit for you if you’d like, Lucien,” Delia offered quietly.

  Nicolai growled softly. Delia laughed at his frustration.

  “Just think of how Lucien feels!” Nicolai nuzzled his mate and sighed.

  “All right, Lucien. I guess we will baby sit while you take care of your mate.”

  Lucien winked at Nicolai. Smiling he said, “I guess it will be good practice for you.”

  Delia blushed and buried her face in Nicolai’s neck. Lanie walked in holding her one year old baby girl. Everyone ‘oohed’ and ‘‘aaahhed’ at the pretty young girl. They all noted how Lucien’s face lit up as he held his daughter while Lanie went to get her bottle. Emma shook her head. If Kane was overprotective of her, she could only imagine how overprotective Lucien would be of his baby girl.

  They continued eating dinner while Lucien fed his daughter. By the time they finished dinner, the baby had fallen asleep and Lucien carried her back to her crib. Lanie went into Lucien’s office, returned with a small gift bag and handed it to Emma.

  With a secret smile, she told Emma, “Open it when you get home.”

  Their guests quickly made their exit before Lucien could come back and kick them out. Lanie grinned with pleasure as she closed the door firmly behind her last guest and locked it. She walked into her room, stripped and hid in her closet, waiting for her mate to find her.

  Chapter Ten

  Emma was anxious to get back to their room and open the present Lanie had given her before she left. The minute they entered the room, Kane locked the door behind him, picked up Emma and carried her straight to their bed. He set her down gently and pulled off his clothes. She undressed just as quickly. She picked up the present Lanie had given her and finally opened it. She pulled out a pair of black thigh high stockings. She glanced at Kane with a raised brow.

  Kane’s eyes glowed bright amber and he demanded gruffly, “Put those on. Right now.”

  Surprised at is reaction, she sat on the bed and gathered one of the stockings in her hand. She pulled up her left leg and slipped the stocking on her toes, straightened her leg as she pulled the stocking up to her thigh. Kane groaned and his wolf’s amber eyes glowed brightly in the room. She gathered up the other stocking and slipped her other toes in. This time, she pulled the stockings up slowly to her thigh, watching Kane the entire time. His breathing increased and his wolf eyes stayed. He growled softly and she realized it mean he was aroused. His very large erection bobbed as he stepped closer to the bed.

  Emma scooted backwards on the bed, knees bent, with her feet flat on the edge of the bed. Kane stood in front of her at the edge of the bed, between her feet. He ran his hands along the stocking, starting with the toes and slowly moving towards her thighs. He held one leg and pressed her toes to his erection, slowly moved the heel of her foot along his thick cock as he stroked himself with her stocking covered foot. He moved her foot lower, to stroke his heavy sac with her toes, then moved it back up to stroke his cock again. Impossibly, he seemed to harden even more.

  He grabbed Emma under her knees and pulled her to the edge of the bed. He spread her legs and rubbed his cock along her crease. He slid his finger inside of her and found her soaking wet. She moaned. He removed his finger and replaced it with his throbbing cock. He entered her fully and pumped his hips hard.

  Kane lost control of himself again, pumping harder and faster into Emma. She groaned and wrapped her legs around him. The feel of the soft stocking around his waist drove him mad and he plunged into her deeper than before. Suddenly he pulled out of Emma and panted, “I’m sorry Emma. I’m sorry.”

  She propped herself up on her elbows and asked gently, “Kane, what’s wrong?”

  “I can’t seem to slow down when I’m inside of you. I don’t want to hurt you.”

  Kane looked so miserable she sat up and caressed his face. He kissed the palm of her hand and she looked deep into his eyes.

  “You’re not hurting me at all. I love it when you lose control. It makes me feel….” Emma blushed, unable to tell him it made her feel sexy and desirable.

  “Don’t hold back anything from me, Kane. Please. I need you.”

  Unable to resist her pleas, he lifted her legs again, spread them and thrust into her slowly. He ran his fingers down her calves, enjoying the feel of the silky stocking beneath his fingertips. He caressed her thighs, the lace on the top of the stockings. His hands traveled higher, to her hips, over her belly and up to her breasts. He held both mounds in his hands and squeezed gently, rolling the nipples between each thumb and forefinger. He leaned over her and kissed her gently on her lips. His tongue slipped inside her mouth and tangled with hers.

  She held his head and kissed him back, caressing his face. He pulled way gently and kissed his way down her neck, placed tiny bites there and she moaned, “Kane, please.”

  His hot mouth found her erect nipple and he sucked on it, gently at first then lost control and sucked harder, biting it gently as his hand tugged roughly on her other nipple.

  “Oh, Kane!” Emma called out when she felt a tingle all the way down to her channel and it clenched unexpectedly.

  Kane began moving his hips, slowly pushing his thick c
ock deep inside of her then withdrawing quickly. He tried to keep a slow pace but Emma pleaded with him to go faster. He couldn’t refuse his mate. He moved his hips faster and faster, pounding into her in a frenzy and she clawed the sheets. She grabbed his head and pulled his hair hard when her body exploded in a powerful orgasm.

  “KANE!” she screamed as her body convulsed and squeezed tightly around him.

  He pumped his hips, emptying his seed inside of his mate. He kissed her gently and withdrew. He stood and was dizzy for a moment. Emma scooted back on the bed and raised her arms. He smiled at his mate and joined her on the bed. He lay in her arms for a while, enjoying the feel of her soft body under him and her hand as she ran her fingers gently through his hair.

  “I’m sorry I pulled your hair. I hope I didn’t hurt you,” Emma said quietly.

  Kane raised his head and chuckled.

  “You never have to apologize for losing control with me, Sweetness.”

  Emma touched his face, tracing a scar.

  “I guess you must be close to Lanie for her to give me stockings.” Kane shook his head and held her chin.

  “I’ve never discussed my sex life with Lanie. Nor have I ever had sex with anyone wearing stockings before.” His admission surprised Emma.

  “I’ve never worn thigh highs before, but I like how they feel. I especially like how they make you react. Your eyes turned amber when you saw them.”

  Kane stroked her hair.

  “Emma, my beautiful mate, you are sexy when you are naked and under me. You are even sexier when you wear those stockings. Tomorrow, I’m going to buy you a dozen pairs. Don’t take them off tonight.”

  Emma blushed and kissed him. She yawned and he moved so she could turn to her side. He threw his arm over her and positioned himself as he had the previous night, partially covering his mate. Tired from their long day and vigorous lovemaking, they fell asleep.

  Chapter Eleven

  The next morning, Ellie frowned at Emma.

  “You need to dress to seduce him, Emma. I know you are worried about Kane, but we need to find those other wolves! Steven is our only chance.”

  “I am not wearing that dress. It screams “fuck me” and Kane will have a fit. I am not wearing that dress for Steven!”

  She crossed her arms and glared at Ellie. She refused to dress provocatively for Steven. She might wear it for Kane, if they stayed at home. She would never wear a dress like that out in public. She would be arrested! It clung to every curve, and the low cut back wasn’t really the back!

  “Look, he’s obviously interested in me. If I suddenly show interest in him, he’s going to be really suspicious. Let me do this my way. Please!”” Ellie shook her head and sighed.

  “All right, Emmy. I guess you can always seduce him if your plan doesn’t work.”

  Emma grinned and pulled on a conservative dress, something she would wear on a date with Kane.

  “Since I’ve already cut off the tags, why don’t you keep the dress for Kane? I’m sure he’ll love it. I bet he lets you keep it on for all of five minutes.”

  “That long? I doubt it!”

  Ellie raised her eyebrows in shock.

  “Is he really that anxious to…um…you know….””

  Ellie actually blushed. Emma smiled knowingly at her friend and nodded.

  “It’s wonderful to be with someone who can’t wait to get me into bed. He’s great for my ego.”

  A knock sounded and Ellie answered the door. Nicolai and Harley stood outside the door, dressed in dark blue suits.

  “Your handsome guards are here,” Ellie called to Emma, not bothering to turn around.

  She was in a relationship with Derrick, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t look. Or drool. They scented Ellie’s arousal and Harley smiled, flattered that a human was interested in him. Nicolai pressed his lips together and focused on Emma. Emma slipped on her shoes and walked to the door.

  She turned to Ellie, “Are you sure he’ll be there tonight?”

  “Positive. He’s got a date with some dancer. Probably a stripper.”

  “Great, I’ve got to compete with a stripper. Sounds like fun,” Emma said dryly.

  “Now do you see why I bought the dress?”

  “I’ll pass, Ellie. Don’t worry, this will work. It has to.”

  Emma followed Harley to the elevator and Nicolai walked behind her. Kane was waiting in the elevator. When he saw Emma, his face lit up and he smiled, taking her breath away. She slipped into his arms and he held her the entire ride down to the lobby. He walked her to the front door and kissed her softly.

  “Emma, I—” She put her finger on his lips, cutting him off.

  “I’ll be fine Kane. Remember, you’re my mate. I’ll be home as soon as I can. Try not to worry and get upset, please?”

  Kane nodded and Emma left, following Harley out the front door and into the awaiting car. Nicolai stood by Kane, placed his hand on Kane’s shoulder.

  “I will protect her as if she were my own, Kane. He will not touch her. Do not worry about your mate. She is in good hands.”

  Kane nodded and Nicolai left, sat in the back of the car next to Emma. Harley drove them to the restaurant, about two hours away.

  Already it was making him crazy, knowing his mate was going to meet another man and he couldn’t stop her. Kane got into his car and drove to the Alpha house.

  After they received information that Steven had a date planned for tonight in a nearby town, Lanie called and invited Kane to spend the evening with them. She knew it would be hard for him and this was her way of offering comfort to him. He needed a distraction, or his jealousy would drive him mad and he would go after his mate. As a precaution, they had withheld the restaurant information from him, just in case he couldn’t control his jealousy. It didn’t matter. He would find her if he had to. No one could keep him from his mate. No one.

  Chapter Twelve

  They drove up to the elegant restaurant and Nicolai escorted Emma inside while Harley parked the car. Earlier in the day, Ellie had bribed or arranged for Emma to have a seat close enough for Steven to see her. Following the plan, she followed the waitress to her seat and walked right by Steven, without giving him a glance. She ignored the woman he was sitting with. Judging by the way she was dressed, Emma deduced she was a stripper. She sat down and Nicolai stood behind her. He took a protective stance behind her. Harley joined them a few minutes later and positioned himself in front of her.

  Emma ordered an appetizer, some wine and her entrée. She pulled out her ereader and began reading an erotic novella by her favorite author, Diana Persaud. She would need that novel to get into the mood if she had to deal with Steven, the libido killer. By the time she was through with her appetizer, Steven had noticed her sitting by herself. Halfway through dinner, when his female companion went to powder her nose, he got up and walked over to Emma’’s table.

  “Emmy, is that you?”

  Emma looked up and genuinely smiled at Steven. She was grateful he had come over. The sooner he spoke to her and she did her job, the sooner they would rescue the captive wolves. Without asking, Steven sat down.

  “Who are your friends? Ellie with you tonight?”

  “No, she’s not. They’re on loan. She’s busy with her……um…exotic pets.”

  Steven looked at Emma and nodded. He lowered his voice and leaned in closer.

  “I know exactly what you mean. Can you believe it? That they exist?”

  Emma acted surprised. She leaned in closer to him and lowered her voice as well.

  “You know about that? Do you have one too?” she whispered.

  “Not personally, no. Why do you ask?”

  “Well….I was thinking about getting one. I mean they are so exotic. I really like the first one she purchased. He’s unique.…” She smiled secretly, thinking of Kane. Just the thought of him made her body tingle and her nipples hardened.

  Steven noticed her erect nipples, could hardly take his eyes off of
them. He forced himself to look up at her, lest she slap him like last time. Maybe this time she wasn’t cold. Maybe she was aroused, maybe she wanted him.

  “Darling, they are all unique,” Steven agreed.

  She arched her brow at the affectionate term. Steven realized she didn’t correct him or slap him for that either, so he continued, “I can get one for you, my sweet Emmy.”

  “You can?” Emma didn’t bother to hide her enthusiasm.

  “What will it cost me?”

  Steven had a gleam in his eye and said, “For you, my sweet Emmy, I’ll let you have one for just a kiss.”

  She heard both Nicolai and Harley growl. So did Steven. Wanting to distract him, she placed her hand on his arm and said sweetly, “Oh, I think you deserve more than just a kiss for that, Stevie.” Emma nearly choked on the nickname she used for Steven.

  She squeezed his arm and pulled back suddenly, noting the way he stared at her and gulped, licked his lips. If she had raised the tablecloth, she would have seen his erection pressing tightly against his pants. She knew Steven wanted her by the way the Harley suddenly tensed up.

  “But how do I know you’re not trying to trick me? That you even have one?”

  “Would I lie to you, my dearest Emmy? I have three,” he boasted.

  “What?” Emma was shocked and didn’t hide it. She recovered quickly and asked, “Can I really have one, Stevie? Or are you playing games with me? I will pay you for it. But I can’t compete with Ellie. I don’t have that kind of money.”

  “Come with me tonight, and I will show you. Hell, I’ll even give you one if you give me what I want.”

  Emma was sure she knew what he wanted. She thought of what Kane would do to him and grinned at Steven.

  “Of course. But what about your... date?”

  “What date?”

  Steven quickly called the waiter over and paid for their meals. He called a cab for his date and made an excuse that he had to leave because of ‘urgent business.’

  Steven wanted Emma to ride with him, but she insisted she stay with her bodyguards.
