Hagen, Lynn - Nicholas's Wolf [Brac Pack 14] (Siren Publishing Everlasting Classic ManLove) (11 page)

* * * *

“What about the bad reference I would get from where I work now?” Nicholas finally felt a spark of hope. Could he possibly have his dream job? He wanted to believe, he really wanted to, but he feared it would all be too good to be true. He mentally crossed his fingers as Tank took over the conversation.

“Maverick could talk to them. He financially helped to build the place,” Tank offered.

Nicholas bit his thumb nail as he looked between the two men. He prayed like hell that they knew what they were talking about. “Call him, ask him for me, Tank.” Nicholas felt giddy. He would
finally
get out from under his father. And the bonus was that he would be able to be with his wolf without having to leave him to work two day shifts. Nicholas turned in Jason’s lap, straddling his mate’s hips as he leaned in for a kiss.

“There they go again.” George chuckled as Tank talked on his phone with Maverick.

Nicholas ran his fingers through Jason’s long hair. He wrapped his fingers in the silken strands and gave a light tug as he took possession of Jason’s mouth.

Nicholas broke the kiss and stared into Jason’s chocolate brown eyes. His cock was so hard he pressed it into Jason’s rock-hard abdomen. The sensation shot through his body as he groaned.

“Take me,” Nicholas demanded. Jason growled and then slid from the couch, taking them both to the floor.

Nicholas was thrilled as Jason yanked his pants off, and swallowed his cock down his throat. This was the first time his wolf sucked him off, and Nicholas couldn’t get enough.

“Toys, I have toys in my nightstand,” Nicholas cried as Jason sucked him to the back of his throat.

His wolf let Nicholas’s cock slip free from between his lips and then smiled seductively at him. Jason jumped up and raced to the room, and was back in less than five seconds, dropping the lube and a dildo next to Nicholas’s hip. Jason pushed his legs back, lubed his aching hole, and then slowly inserted the toy into him. Nicholas panted as he took the girth of the dildo into his ass. Jason was bigger by far, but his mate hadn’t prepared him much, and there was a slight pinch and burn.

Nicholas placed the pads of his feet on Jason’s shoulders as his wolf licked up the side of his cock. He fucked Nicholas’s ass with the dildo, making him squirm with pleasure.

Nicholas writhed, pulling at Jason’s hair as he was taken higher.

Jason licked his way up until he was at the head of Nicholas’s cock. His mate looked up at him and grinned before taking Nicholas into his mouth.

Nicholas’s head fell back as waves of sensation crashed over him. The strongest emotions he’d ever felt clawed at his very soul as Jason proved to him to be a skilled lover. Nicholas whimpered as Jason applied a tight seal around his cock and took him to heaven.

“I love you, Jason,” Nicholas cried out as he came down his mate’s throat. Jason seemed to go wild at those words.

He released Nicholas’s cock and then stood above him, staring down at him. Nicholas swore he saw Jason’s eyes glittering with unshed tears as he divested himself of his clothes and then positioned himself between Nicholas’s legs.

Jason threw Nicholas’s legs over his shoulders and entered him, pounding into Nicholas with the force of a fierce storm. Jason leaned forward, capturing his lips as he fucked Nicholas into unconsciousness.

“Are you sure I didn’t harm him?” Jason asked as he cradled Nicholas in his arms. He stroked his hand up and down his mate’s back as he cursed his lack of self control.

“Nah, just fucked him into next year.” George chuckled. “He’ll be fine.” The cowboy mate waved a hand as if to dismiss Jason’s worries.

Tank and George had run into the spare bedroom, giving in to their own release as Jason went wild in the front room.

“Then why hasn’t he awakened?” Jason stroked his man’s face, fear racing through him at his mate’s closed eyes. He had gone nuts when Nicholas closed his eyes and wouldn’t wake up. He ran into the bedroom the other couple was in, dragged Tank’s half-naked form out, and demanded he do something. Tank’s only advice was to cover his naked mate. That didn’t help.

Jason breathed a sigh of relief when Nicholas’s eyes began to flutter and then finally opened. “Damn, can we do that again?” His mate whispered with a smile.

Never in a million years would he understand humans. Jason pulled his mate close, inhaling his scent for comfort as he tightened his arms around him.

“Maverick said you have a job. Come see him when you get back.” Tank chuckled.

George elbowed his mate. “Why’d you have to tell him now? There gonna go at it like rabbits again.”

Tank growled. “That means I get to have you again.”

“Carry on, fellas.” George pulled Tank from the chair, leading him back into the spare room. “And it’s my turn this time, damn it.”

“Hey.” Jason ran his hands over his mate’s head, brushing the hair from his eyes. “You scared me.”

“Hi.” Nicholas smiled at him. “I’m sorry.” His mate cuddled closer.

Jason gulped and then asked. “Did you mean it?”

Nicholas furrowed his brow in confusion as his hazel eyes stared up at Jason. “Did I mean what?”

“That you loved me?” Jason knew that words were spoken in the heat of passion that meant nothing when the clothes went back on, but if his mate didn’t mean it, he didn’t think he’d be able to handle that. Nicholas had come to mean the world to him, and he loved the man deeply.

“Yes.” Nicholas nodded as he blushed.

“I…I…I love you, too.” Jason clenched his fists as tears brimmed in his eyes. He felt weak and stupid for crying just because his mate said he loved him and meant it. Wiping them away, he turned his head toward the window, staring out into the night.

* * * *

“Don’t, let me see all of you.” Nicholas turned his wolf’s head back. Jason had once again clenched his jaw, and he could tell his mate was fighting his emotions as he stared into Nicholas’s eyes.

Nicholas pulled his mate’s head down, giving him a soft kiss before clearing his throat, fighting back his own tears. “I need to stop at the hospital. Let them know I won’t be working there anymore, and my wallets in my locker.” Nicholas brushed the back of his hand over the moisture gathering in his eyes.

Jason nodded but said nothing. He helped Nicholas get dressed. Nicholas noticed that his wolf treated him like spun glass but said nothing about it. He had a feeling Jason needed that right now. Nicholas had to admit, in a small part of his soul, so did he.

Nicholas packed what he wanted to take, Jason helping him. He chuckled when Tank and George emerged, wearing big goofy grins on their faces.

“This all of it?” Tank asked as he carried boxes down to the truck. Nicholas nodded.

“Can I ask you something?” Nicholas turned to George.

“Sure.”

“Why do you wear a bottle of water in a gun holster? You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to.” Nicholas handed his mate the last box as he shut all the lights off.

“I was attacked by a vampire. He damn near killed me. The myth about them changing you is false, but now my thirst is unquenched. I crave my meat bloodier, too. Tank made this for me, so my hands are free.” George pointed to the holster and looked up at his mate with such awe in his eyes that Nicholas had to look away.

“So we have wolves, tiger, and now vampires. I really need that CAT scan.” Nicholas shook his head as Jason wrapped him in his arms, kissing him on his head.

“Nah, you ain’t loony. The rest of the world is.” George beamed at him.

Nicholas shook his head as he laughed. “If you say so.”

The four climbed into the truck and headed for the hospital. Nicholas’s gut tightened as the ominous building came into sight. He had a feeling this wasn’t going to be pretty. His father wasn’t one to just let things go.

Tank pulled into the emergency room parking lot and shut off the motor. Nicholas bit his bottom lip as he stared at the hospital. Jason climbed out and then placed his hands around Nicholas’s waist, helping him out of the truck. Tank and George got out and joined them.

Nicholas stared up at Jason as he patted him on the chest. “Really, I won’t take long,” Nicholas promised.

Jason captured his hand and held onto it. “You won’t be left unguarded.” He growled.

“Fine, let’s go.” Nicholas pulled his wolf along as he went inside, Tank and George following close behind.

As soon as they walked into the emergency department, Nicholas spotted his father heading toward them looking angry as hell. What else was new?

“What the hell is the meaning of this? Have you lost your mind leaving in the middle of a shift, and who the hell are these ruffians with you?” Dr. William Sheehan bellowed at his son as he pointed to the men standing beside Nicholas.

Nicholas rolled his eyes.
Here we go.
“Hi, father. I’m fine, how are you?”

“Don’t give me that. I want answers!” His father’s face turned a shade darker.

“Fine, here is my answer. I quit.” Nicholas waved at the three to follow him as he walked into the doctors lounge and crossed the room into the locker room. He emptied his locker, praying that dear old dad dropped it. Somehow Nicholas knew it wasn’t over yet.

The four exited the lounge, and Nicholas felt his temper rising as his father stormed over to them.

“You can’t do that! You won’t find work anywhere else, I promise you that, and what about your fiancée?” Nicholas watched as his father changed three kinds of red again. His anger vanished when Jason laid his hand on Nicholas’s lower back. That small show of support was enough to calm him down.

“You know, you’re going to have a heart attack if you don’t learn to control your temper.” He smirked at his father. He felt free for the first time in his life, and he wasn’t going to allow his father to ruin it for him.

“Why you…” His father raised his hand as his eyes narrowed into slits.

Jason leapt in front of Nicholas, blocking Nicholas’s father from striking his son. “I’ll kill you.” He threatened the man in front of him.

Nicholas stood there stunned. Never had his father ever raised a hand to him. What was wrong with him? So he wasn’t following the plan, big deal. Was it that important to him? Did his wishes outweigh Nicholas’s happiness?

His father sneered at Jason. “You turned my son’s head, didn’t you? Look at you.” His eyes raked Jason up and down in disgust. “You’re not fit to shine my shoes. Who cut your face, your mother, too stupid to go below the neck?”

“Father!” Nicholas was shocked beyond belief. Tank had to pull his wolf away from his father. “
Never
speak to me again.” Nicholas ground the words out between clenched teeth as he pointed his finger mere inches from his father’s face. He spun on his heels and walked away. The three men with him followed close behind. Nicholas was mortified at his father’s behavior.

“You’ll regret this!”

Nicholas spun around. He didn’t care who heard him as he shouted across the floor, “The only thing I regret is being your son.” He grabbed his mate’s hand, pulling him along as he got the hell out of there.

He couldn’t believe he had never seen his father’s true nature before. He stopped at the truck when he realized he’d forgotten something at his condo. “Crap.”

“What’s wrong?” Jason asked as he pulled Nicholas close.

“We have to go back to my place.”

Tank drove them there, pulling into the underground parking lot. All four exited and made their way to the elevator. When the doors slid open, Nicholas gasped. It was the man from the hospital, and he had someone else with him. Nicholas backed away when the man noticed him and hissed, his fangs gleaming in the elevator lights.
