Hagen, Lynn - Stormy Eyes [Brac Pack 5] (Siren Publishing Everlasting Classic ManLove) (6 page)

Storm laughed as he kissed his bound mate.

* * * *

“So, you wolf?”

Maverick was walking down the hall with his hands clasped behind his back. He stopped and looked down at the pint-sized human. Storm must have explained to the two about the warrior’s being Timber-weres. Well, at least explained it to Kyoshi and then translated to Keata.

“Yes, Keata. I’m a wolf.”

“You have long teeth?”

“Yes.”

“I see?”

Maverick elongated his canines, smiling at Keata.

“Hip.”

Maverick chuckled as his canines receded.

“Stormy eyes wolf. He lay naked on Kyoshi. He say
Kyoshi
really loud.”

Maverick stared at Keata, trying to figure out what the hell the guy was talking about.
Oh, shit!
Keata must have caught Storm claiming Kyoshi. Oh man, he was going to have some fun with this little tidbit of information. He watched as Keata veered off and walked toward the den. Poor Storm.

* * * *

“I think we should have one of the men stay with Keata and show him around.” Storm hugged Kyoshi tighter to his chest. He was still in awe that this man was his mate, forever.

“You mean like a babysitter?”

“No, I mean like a, uh, sponsor.”

“Why?”

“Well, because when we need our time with each other or to make love, I would feel better knowing someone was watching out for him.” Storm hoped Kyoshi wasn’t taking offense to his suggestion. Keata really did need a full-time
sponsor
.

“Will they pat him on his ass?”

“I’ll kill them.” Storm took a deep breath. He still hadn’t convinced Kyoshi that Ludo hadn’t been making a pass at Keata. “I have the perfect person in mind. He’s mean as hell but has the softest spot in his heart for mates. You’ll see.”

“I trust you to know what is best for me and Keata, mate. I just worry for my cousin.”

“No worries.” Storm pulled Kyoshi under him.

Keata was leaning against the pool table, watching the two wolves hit the balls with the stick. It was a funny game, and he really liked playing it.

“You two wolves?”

Caden and Murdock stared at the man then at each other. Caden shrugged and took his shot.

“Yeah, Keata. Caden and I are wolves.” Murdock didn’t see any harm in telling him. Someone must have in order for him to ask.

“You have long teeth like Stormy eyes? He lay naked on Kyoshi and say
Kyoshi
really loud.” Keata blinked up at them.

Murdock tilted his head, scrambling his brain trying to figure the guy out. Caden fell into him, laughing, as a light went on in Murdock’s head. He leaned over the table, pool balls rolling around as he cried tears of hilarity.

Keata shrugged and walked over to the bar. Why was Kyoshi’s name so funny? He crawled up on a stool and slapped the counter as he had seen Johnny do. The man with red hair walked behind it.

“What can I get you, Keata?” Jasper asked.

Keata tapped his chin in thought as he had seen Johnny do. “Orange.” That’s what Johnny said.

Jasper grabbed a can of orange soda as he popped the top and poured it into a glass for Keata. He added a few ice cubes and slid it across to the little guy.

“You wolf?”

Jasper looked over at Caden and Murdock. They were watching him with wide grins on their faces. What the? Jasper tilted his head, looking between the two before giving his attention back to Keata.

“Uh, why do you ask, Keata?” He wasn’t volunteering if Keata was clueless.

“Stormy eyes wolf. He have long teeth. He lay naked on Kyoshi and say
Kyoshi
really loud.” He blinked up at Jasper.

Jasper’s eyes grew wide as he looked down at Keata then over at Caden and Murdock. They were laughing hysterically, falling into each other.

“I don’t think you should tell people that, Keata. It’s private.” Jasper knew right away Keata had accidentally seen Storm claiming Kyoshi. Storm was gonna shit bricks over this.

“Why private?”

“Ask Kyoshi.” He wasn’t going to have Storm pulling his intestines out through his loud mouth.

“Okay. Roger that.”

Cody stepped into the den, stood there for a moment looking toward the bar, then lowered his head and walked out. Did Cody blame him for finding his mate? Did he hate him now? There was no way Jasper could have prevented this. No way. With a heavy heart, Jasper shrugged his shoulders as he chatted with the bizarre little human.

“Loco, can I talk to you a minute?” Storm walked into the kitchen, spotting the wolf messing with the buttons on the microwave.

“I think it’s broke.” Loco slammed his palm onto the digital pad. The thing didn’t even display any numbers.

“Well, if it wasn’t before, it is now.” Storm grabbed a juice from the fridge and downed half the bottle in one gulp.

“What’s up?” Loco finally took the bowl out and tossed the food in a pot on the stove to reheat. “Gonna have to do it the old-fashioned way.”

“Can you take Keata under your wing? Show him around and make sure he stays out of trouble?”

“Depends. You gonna accuse me of touching him? I heard about Ludo. He’s treated like a leper now. I don’t give a shit what people think of him, as long as it’s the truth.”

“I keep trying to apologize. Ludo won’t even listen.” God, Storm wished he could go back and do it over. He tossed the bottle in the trash and crossed his arms over his chest. Not only had he alienated Ludo, but everyone was afraid to be in the same vicinity as Keata for fear of being called a pervert. He screwed Ludo and Keata with his temper.

“Some things you can’t apologize for. Give it time. I’ll watch over the guy. I don’t want any static though. I’m not as passive as Ludo.” Loco glanced at Storm with a warning look before dumping the pot over onto a plate. “Someone needs to get a new microwave. Warming leftovers in a pot takes too damn long.”

“Yeah, I’ll get right on that.” Storm rolled his eyes. “Thanks, Loco. I’ll go get Keata and introduce you two.” Boy, was Loco in for a surprise. He just hoped Keata didn’t make the man want to pull all his silver hair out. Volunteers were scarce around here as far as Keata was concerned. He really did screw things up this time.

Chapter Five

Kyoshi sat on the front steps enjoying the warm weather. America was different. He found that there were things here that he really enjoyed. The people in the house he now lived in were kind. He shuddered to think of what he and his cousin escaped. What had started out as a nightmare was taking a different path for the Kia family.

When he and Keata were grabbed from the marketplace, Kyoshi thought life as they knew it was over. With what he had overheard the bandits saying, sex would become the only thing they would know for the rest of their lives. Thank goodness for kind strangers.

Keata had cried to go home when the wolves shied away from his cousin. Keata had begged to return to the box, telling Kyoshi it would return them. If only things were so easy. His mate was here now. Their home was here now. The life they had been living back in Japan was hard, struggling just to survive after his mother’s passing.

Though his cousin was having a rough time adjusting, Kyoshi knew the life they had now was beneficial to Keata and himself.

“You all right, dragonfly?” Kyoshi turned to see his mate standing in the doorway, his eyes looking sad. He was proud to call this wolf his. Storm was beautiful and gentle. He had made Kyoshi’s first experience with sex amazing. He felt foolish now for fearing it so much, but he was glad he had waited for his wolf.

“I just hate to see Keata so heartbroken. I wish I could take him home, but this is home now. He will adjust with time.” Kyoshi wanted Storm, wanted him to make love to him again. He was still too shy to outright ask for it or be seductive with his mate. So how did he let him know he wanted him to fuck his brains out? Did he bat his eyelashes? Flip his hair back? Giggle at him? No, that was what he had seen females do. He was a man. So what did men do?

He followed Storm to their room, closing the door behind them as he sat in the cushion window seat.
Just say it
. Why was it so hard? He had been ballsy when he spoke of being a top, why was he biting his tongue off now?

“Um, Storm…what time is it?” Ugh. This shouldn’t be so hard. Taking a deep breath, Kyoshi blurted out, “Iwantyoutofuckme.” Okay that was brilliant.

“What was that, Kyoshi?”

Great, now he had to repeat it slower. Maybe he should just get naked. That
had
to work. Kyoshi turned his back to Storm. With shaky fingers, he removed his button-down shirt, folding it carefully and setting it on the dresser, patting it to make sure it stayed.
Stop stalling.
His hands reached for the snap on his slacks but were shaking too much to get them unfastened.
Relax. You’ve done this before, once. No biggie. He is your mate, so just go for it.

He toed his shoes off, setting them together and making sure they were neatly paired and straight.

Kyoshi tried once more to unclip his pants, and finally they cooperated. He slid the zipper down and hesitated. Cool air brushed his ass as his slacks pooled at his ankles.
Step out of them dummy.
Taking a deep breath, Kyoshi pulled his feet out and bent to pick them up. Folding them, he patted them as well. Okay, socks and underwear were the last things remaining. He pulled the socks off, pairing them as well, and sat them on top of the shoes. No, they shouldn’t go there. Maybe he should walk them to the hamper? Later.

Okay, only the underwear left. Kyoshi took a deep breath, letting it out in one long exhale. He hitched his fingers in the waistline and
…I can’t do it. Yes, you can. Okay, here goes…again
. Kyoshi pulled them off and folded them as well, patting them in place.

Turn around. Just turn the hell around.
Kyoshi began to walk backwards to the bed, covering his penis. He sat on the bed and took a chance, peeking at Storm.

Storm stood there smiling.
Okay, does my nakedness not tell him I want to have sex? Why is he just standing there?

“Could you repeat what you said?”

Crap. Storm was going to make him ask. Oh, man. Kyoshi’s lips moved but nothing came out. Maybe Storm would lip read his desire. His mate just stood there waiting.

“I, uh, want you to…well, that is to say…can you?” Yeah, broken English all the way.

“Can I what?”

“Um, make love to me?”
There, I did it, yippy for me!

“All you had to do was ask.” Storm smirked at him. “Come here, dragonfly. Undress your mate.”

Kyoshi slid off of the bed, reaching unsteady hands up as he unsnapped the denim, slowly pulled the zipper down, reached into his waistband and pulled the jeans to his ankles. He got on his knees as he removed the boots, releasing the jeans from his ankles and slid the socks off. Storm was naked from the waist down. Kyoshi was dying to take a good look at his mate’s cock. It felt enormous, but what did it look like? On shaky legs, he stood. His eyes slowly lowered to the prick jutting out to greet him. Holy cow!
That
was inside of him? How?

“Teach me how to please you, mate.” Wow. Kyoshi patted himself on the back. He was getting bolder.
