Jordan's Misunderstanding (9 page)

Romy nodded and leaned back. “I know. What do you think?” Larkin studied his mate"s face and then said, “I think I would love to take her far away from here and hide her from the world until all the pain is gone. But I know that she would end up resenting us and so I won"t do that. However, if any of those people hurt her again, I don"t think my cat will stay inside. It was hard enough not to shift and rip her father apart. Alpha or no Alpha, he pissed me off.” Romy nodded and leaned back in and kissed his mate again. “I am going to get dinner, and then we will wake sleeping beauty and have our discussion.” Larkin nodded and looked back into the living room as Romy walked out of the door.

They had ordered food from the place down the street. He would be back shortly; in the meantime, he was going to set the table.

Before he could open the cupboard and get the dishes out, the phone rang. He jumped to grab it before it woke up Jordan.

“Hello?” He said into the receiver.

“Uh, is this the Night residence?” A male voice said to him. He frowned and looked down at the phone.

“Yeah, who is this?” He said rudely. Larkin ran out of patience a long time ago, and he was not prepared to have a nice conversation with a stranger.

“This is Sid. Jordan"s bother. I wanted to see if she was okay? I also would like to know if my mates and I could come over to your place?” Sid said uncertainly.

Larkin frowned and then wished that Romy were still home. He was the rational one.

Larkin was ready to hang up and forget the wolf ever called, but he knew that he couldn"t.

After a few moments, Larkin sighed heavily into the phone and said, “Listen, I wish I could tell you yes, come on over and talk. But Jordan is not there yet. Hell, she cried herself to sleep a few hours ago and has not been up since. We were just getting food and then we were going to talk to her. Whatever she decides is up to her.” Sid paused and then said, “I wish it were that simple. She is one of the Chosen. That means that she has to come to Colorado and take her place on the Council. I really hate to push this but my father was right about the attacks. The longer she is out in the open, the more that could happen to her.”

What the fuck? Larkin thought and looked at the phone. Was this guy serious? His parents and brothers had just destroyed his mate, and he has enough nerve to talk about obligations?

“That is fucked up!” Larkin yelled into the phone. “No wonder Jordan is so devastated, you don"t care about her, and you just want to use her!” Sid yelled back. “No, I want her safe! The rest we can work out later. Jordan has always been hot tempered, once she calms down, she will listen to reason.”

“Reason? Seriously? My Pride is taking over the security for Jordan. Don"t worry about that. We will not rush her. It"s her decision.” Larkin said trying to be calm.

Sid laughed and said, “Really, I think you should use our security.”

“Listen here, dog, we have her taken care of. Don"t call me; I will call you when Jordan makes up her mind.” Larkin said hotly and slammed the phone down.

He felt small arms circle around his waist and hug him. Larkin held onto her hands and sighed when she leaned her head against his back.

“Sorry I woke you, baby.” He said and then turned and took her into his embrace.

“It"s okay; I would feel like shit if I slept anymore. Who was that?” She whispered.

“Sid.” He replied, kissed her on the forehead, and then pulled back. “But we will not talk about that now, Romy went to get dinner. We have to set the table and then we will eat our meal. After we are nice and relaxed and drank this wonderful bottle of Moscato wine, we will talk. Until then, let"s just be happy.” Jordan shook her head but did what he said. They quickly set the table and talked about the view from the penthouse. Larkin took her on a quick tour and laughed when she gushed over their version of the great outdoors. She lay on their grass and looked up to see the sun just going down. For the first time that day, she felt peaceful. She did not want to leave, but they heard Romy call out when he opened the door.

“Dinners here!” He yelled.

“Romy, what if she had still been sleeping?” Larkin said and spanked his mate"s ass.

Romy laughed and then said, “I saw the lights from the garden. I figured you took her on a tour.”

Larkin nodded and then held out the chair for Jordan to sit down. They ate their meal, talking about how they designed the penthouse. She loved the entire place, and wanted to know more about how they got the stuff on the roof of the building. They laughed when Larkin explained how they rented a crane to lift the rock and almost took out the whole fourth floor. Jordan laughed but the humor did not really reflect in her tone. She was tense.

Romy poured her another glass of wine, sat back, and watched her drink it slowly while she ate. At least she wasn"t going straight for the alcohol, he thought, he probably would have considering the day she had.

They took their glasses of wine, went into the garden and sat on the ground, leaving all of their plates and stuff on the table to clean up later. Jordan sighed and picked at the grass.

“What are you thinking, baby girl?” Larkin said.

“I think that I am pissed at my family. I think that I want to turn back the clock and remain ignorant. I think that I will never be able to trust them again, and when I think of the future, they are not in it. I think that I don"t want to be one of the Chosen; I will never go to Colorado while that man is there. And finally, I think that I am the luckiest woman in the world for finding you two and mating with you.” Jordan said as more tears rolled down her cheeks.

Larkin sighed and leaned in closer. “We are the lucky ones. You are smart, beautiful and sexy. All that we could want in a mate, all the rest of this shit is just that, shit.”

“Baby, I wish I could tell you that everything was going to be okay and normal. But let"s face it, it"s not. We are going to have to make a decision.” Romy said and took her hand in his and continued. “I know they hurt you, I know that you want nothing to do with them. Maybe we find a way that you can still be a part of the New Council and not live in the compound. I don"t know. All I do know is the spirits chose you to give this gift to.

You are supposed to be the historian, and advisor. That is your passion, your gift. I don"t want you to let them take that away from you too.” Romy said.

Jordan nodded a little and then said, “What about them? How do I deal with them?”

“Baby, we can take it how you want it. Approach it like another job. You do not have to speak to your family directly nor have a meeting with them unless you want to.” Larkin said.

“And Oliver?” She whispered and let the tears flow freely again.

“According to my Prime, he is in jail in Milliken while they sort all of this out. Quin and Jaden, the Alphas of the New Council, told Gorge they will always give their loyalty to you.” Romy said.

“Now that I am not sure I believe. Jo is his daughter. We can"t change that. I don"t know how she is handling that. But if the Alphas say that you have their loyalty, then I think you can trust that.” Larkin said softly.

Jordan stood up and walked around the garden thinking. They knew that she was torn up about this. They hated that they had to make a decision so quickly. But unfortunately, her brother had been right. They needed the protection of the New Council; something did not feel right about the guy that told them all of that stuff. He had to be watching and waiting. The Pride had good security, but they would not be able to cover her if they were attacked with a large Rogue Pack.

“I know this decision sucks, it"s lose- lose the way I see it, for us anyway. We are going to have to deal with this head on. I know we only met face to face yesterday, but I know you. We have been talking for weeks. We know you. Whatever decision you make, you make together for all of us. I know I"m speaking for Larkin when I say that we are willing to do what you want. If we leave here, we leave. We will keep the store for income; we will just turn it over to one of the Pride members to run. There are a few I have in mind. As for this apartment, we will be able to build our own house in Milliken.

We can make a garden indoors just like this. You just have to say the word and we are gone.” Romy said.

“I will not travel with them. I have no desire to deal with them right now. If this is my destiny, then I guess we will have to fulfill it, but I will not be lied to or railroaded anymore.” Jordan said darkly. “I will be a part of the Council, but I will not socialize or interact with any of them. It"s going to be a job.” Romy looked at Larkin and smiled. It was a first step; they would have to build from there. Jordan would have regretted not going to Colorado and taking her place on the New Council. He knew it. She had the type of personality that needed her to fulfill jobs that were placed in front of her.

Jordan continued to pace and think. She ran her hand through her long red hair and both of the men started to get aroused. She was hot when she was pissed and focused.

“I want to contact my biological family. If we can find them, I would like to see if they have picture or anything of my real parents. I will call my adoptive parents and tell them we are leaving and that I will contact them when I sort through all of this stuff in my head. As for the rest of them, I want nothing to do with them right now.” Romy nodded and smiled. “Is this how you are in the board room? It"s kinda sexy.” Jordan laughed and then smiled. “Did you want me to boss you around a little?” Larkin smiled and nodded. “Your wish is our command, my lady.” Jordan put a finger to her lips and tapped it. She smiled and began unbuttoning her shirt. “Why don"t you two kiss? I want to watch you both. I find that very sexy.” Larkin and Romy laughed but began to kiss each other. She watched as they explored each other"s mouths. She could feel their connection from where she was standing.

They pulled each other"s shirts off and touched each other. Jordan began to feel a little tingly and she took off her shirt and bra before pulling off her pants and lying on her side so she could watch them.

“Now the pants. I want you to stroke each other.” She demanded and the men nodded and panted a little when they pulled apart to take off their pants.

She plucked at her own nipples as she watched them undress. She was so lucky. Smiled when they didn"t waste any time grabbing each other and begin kissing each other again.

They were almost frantic in their movements. She smiled when she saw them both reach for their cocks. First, they touched themselves, and then they began to stroke each other.

She moved her hand down her stomach and opened her legs. With one hand she continued to stimulate her nipples and the other slipped between her wet folds.

Watching them had soaked her pussy. She used her juices as lube as she slipped her finger over her clit. She moaned, which drew attention to her. Romy and Larkin turned to look at her and then started to walk to her.

She shook her head and ordered them. “No, you get back to what you were doing. No touching me until I see you, Larkin, take Romy"s ass.” Larkin looked at Romy and smiled. He loved fucking Romy. “On your knees.” He said gruffly to his mate and slapped his ass as he complied. Once Romy was on his knees Larkin ran his hand over his lover"s back. It was so strong, so muscular. He could see that the workouts that Romy had been doing were paying off. He said he was sick of sitting inside all the time. His cat had grown restless. So, they installed an exercise station in the spare bedroom. When he felt pent up, Romy went in there and worked out.

He ran his hands across his tight ass and smiled. Thank the God"s he had thought to put lube in his pants pocket. He reached for it and then flipped open the cap and squeezed some on his fingers.

Jordan continued to finger herself, pushing her finger inside herself, imagining it being one of her mate"s cocks. Their mouths on her breasts, their hands roaming over her body, she could feel almost feel them. Jordan opened her eyes again and then looked at her mates.

Larkin had put one of his fingers in Romy"s ass and was stretching him slowly. It was sexy, to watch them together. They were comfortable with each other and her. The feeling of love flowed through her and she felt her mates respond to her feelings. Jordan sighed and then lay back on the grass and continued to pleasure herself.

Larkin pulled his fingers back and then kissed Romy"s spine up and down again before grabbing his hips and lining up his thick cock with Romy"s entrance. Then slowly he pushed inside. While she watched, she saw the look on Romy"s face and smiled. He loved it.

Larkin whispered almost with reverence. “Oh baby, you are so tight and hot. It"s like the first time again.”

Romy laughed. “Yes, feels like it from this end too.” Then he moaned when Larkin moved over his sweet spot.

Jordan sat up, crawled over to where they were and said, “I love watching you together.

I can"t just sit here though.”

Larkin smiled and watched as their little mate moved and shimmied until she was under Romy and then pulled him down to kiss her. Larkin renewed his thrust, making sure that he hit Romy"s sweet spot with every pass.

“Fuck.” Romy said as he pulled back from Jordan and put his head on her shoulder. It was too much, feeling his mate in his ass and his other mate under him. “Wait, I gotta fuck her.”

“Ohh, we are having a little Romy sandwich for dinner.” Larkin smiled and waited while Romy got into place and then he pushed back inside him with a hard thrust, causing the man to enter Jordan at the same time. “Shit, it"s like I"m fucking you both.” Larkin said wondrously, pulled out, and thrust back in.

Larkin set the pace and soon Jordan and Romy were both yelling out their pleasure at his lovemaking. They just held onto each other as Larkin fucked them. “Shit, I am gonna cum!” He yelled and then slammed one last time into Romy"s ass and emptied into him.

They all collapsed and fell to the side, laying and looking up at the glass ceiling. It was amazing, Jordan thought, looking at the stars with a post coital glow. “I want something like this in our new house. This is peaceful, something I think we may need.” Jordan said and looked at her mates who were looking up also.
