Devin's Mercy [Shifters of Mystery 4] (24 page)

around the head of Devin’s shaft and then began to suck, his tongue

tracing the veins, his cheeks hollow.

“Oh god, yes!” Devin cried out.

Releasing one of Devin’s hips, Mercy wet a finger and inserted it

into Devin’s tight entrance, plunging it all the way to the last knuckle.

“Mercy!”

He could feel Devin’s balls drawing up close to his body. Mercy

gave a few more hard sucks before letting the man’s cock slip from

between his lips.

“Why did you stop?” Devin asked, his breathing labored.

Mercy picked up the colorful scarf. “Put your hands above your

head.”

Devin hesitated.

“Afraid?” Mercy asked as he moved up Devin’s body, running his

fingers along Devin’s wrists. “Do you think I would hurt you, tiger?”

“No,” Devin quickly replied. “But I’m not sure I want to be tied

up.”

“How about if I make the scarf loose enough for you to pull free if

you become uncomfortable?”

Devin stared at the scarf in Mercy’s hand. “Promise?”

“Always.”

Devin reached above his head. Mercy took great care in making

sure the scarf was tied loosely. It wasn’t loose enough to slip away at

the lightest tug, but enough for Devin to pull free if he tugged hard

enough.

“Now lie still and let me be very bad to you.” Mercy winked at

Devin and then grabbed the dildo, making sure to snag the lube from

under the pillow. Devin looked a bit intimidated, but Mercy moved

slow enough for his lover to see everything he was doing.

He watched for any signs of discomfort. So far, Devin merely

looked intrigued.

“Spread your legs, love.”

Devin spread his legs.

Mercy lubed the dildo and the placed it between Devin’s cheeks,

inching the silicone into his lover’s ass. “Does this feel good, tiger?”

Devin nodded, his face once again a deep scarlet.

“I take it you’ve never used toys on yourself?”

“No,” Devin answered so softly that Mercy almost didn’t hear

him.

“Then you’ve missed out on some really nice pleasure.” He

wiggled the toy, pushing it further into Devin’s body as he watched

the man’s eyes slowly close. When he saw that Devin was drowning

in pleasure, Mercy moved back down and took Devin’s cock back

into his mouth. The pre-cum exploded on his tongue, flowing freely

from the head of Devin’s shaft.

Devin began to murmur, the words making absolutely no sense.

Mercy fucked Devin with the dildo and sucked the man down at the

same time, his tongue exploring every inch of Devin’s cock.

Devin cried out, his back arching as hot cum shot down Mercy’s

throat. He drank his lover’s essence down, lapping at the head, pulling

every drop of seed out that he could find. Once Devin lay boneless,

Mercy pulled the dildo free and plunged deeply inside of Devin.

His lover’s cries increased, Devin shouting Mercy’s name over

and over again as Mercy fucked him, his world centering on the deep

thrust that plunged into Devin’s body. He could feel his cock

stretching Devin, as lightning shot up his spine. His fingers tightened

on Devin’s hips, Mercy’s arousal building furiously. Just seeing the

younger man’s hands bound flat-out did it for Mercy.

Within seconds the explosion tore through him, brutal in intensity

as he howled out his own release, plunging into Devin with ferocity.

His soon-to-be mate yanked at his hands, the scarf falling away, and

then Devin grabbed Mercy, pulling him down for a bruising kiss.

Mercy opened, for once, allowing his lover to do whatever the hell

he wanted. He was sated, tired, and more than willing to give Devin

whatever the man desired. He was at Devin’s mercy, and Mercy

couldn’t find it in himself to protest.

The man had a long road to recovery, but Mercy knew that

Devin’s damaged soul was healing. He wrapped his arms around

Devin, pulling him up and into his arms. “I love you, tiger.”

Devin smiled, his eyes sparkling, a look Mercy swore belonged to

an angel. “I love you, too, Mercy.”

Sage sat on the side of the house, his back to the wall as he wiped

the tears from his eyes. “I thought he killed you.” His voice was

strangled, but Sage couldn’t help it. He had been terrified for his

mother.

“I’m fine, Sage,” his mother replied in a sweet and soothing voice.

“I’m sorry I haven’t called you, but I’ve been on the run since he

kicked you out of the pack.”

“Why don’t you come here?” A small sob tore from Sage’s lips. “I

promise I’ll protect you with my life.” He couldn’t stand the thought

of his mother out there all alone, running from a madman. William

and his mother were the only two people Sage would kill for without

thought, without hesitation.

“Because, Sage, if Martin found out I was there, he would kill

every last one of you to get me back. I promise you, sweetheart, I’m

safe.”

It still gutted Sage that he couldn’t even protect his own mom. He

wanted her here, where he could protect her and keep her safe. “I love

you.”

“I love you, too, son.” She paused and Sage knew she wanted to

say something more.

“Tell me.”

He heard her sigh. “I never knew he was this sick, Sage. He hid it

well. I even found a website of his where he tortured men for

pleasure. He said it was his way of paying you back for being gay.”

Sage felt his entire body go numb. That website was because of

him? How many men had Martin tortured? “Do you know where he is

keeping these men?” He felt a sliver of hope, even though his life was

spinning out of control. There were people being tortured because of

who Sage chose to love. The guilt was insurmountable.

“He never told me, but I knew where it was as soon as I saw the

podcast.”

Yes!

“Do you remember that old house you were born in?” his mother

asked. “We didn’t live in it long. Once Martin became alpha, he

moved the pack to another town.”

Vaguely.
“Can you refresh my memory? I was a baby, after all.”

His mother laughed, and the sound made Sage’s heart sing. “An

adorable one at that. The house was located in a town called

Hemlock. It’s about fifty miles from where you are now.”

Sage listened as his mother rattled off the address.

“I will stop him, Mother. You’ll be safe once again, and I want

you living in Mystery once this is all over.”

“The place sounds wonderful. I’ll keep in touch with you, son.”

Sage held on to the phone even after his mother hung up. He was

relieved that Martin hadn’t killed her and enraged that she had to run

in the first place. His mother was sweet, the kindest woman he knew.

She didn’t deserve to live like this. He vowed to himself right there

that he would bring her to Mystery where she never would have to

worry about another monster as long as she lived.

Pushing himself to his feet, Sage headed back inside. They had a

rescue to mount and a man to save.

And even if it took his last breath, Sage had a father to kill.
