Out Of The Shadows (13 page)

“Tease,” Dane murmured, squeezing some of the lube onto his fingers and spearing one into Jai, making him groan loudly.

“Not teasing if I follow through,” Jai pointed out. He watched intently as Dane knelt over him, fucking him with that skillful finger. His breath caught as Dane added another finger.

Dane stretched him before slicking his own dick with the lube and tossing the bottle aside. He began easing into Jai slowly, being careful, but Jai had other ideas. Hooking a foot around Dane’s back, he tugged him forward, impaling himself in one move. Dane fucked Jai hard, letting out the worry and fear he had been holding inside since last night, watching as Jai closed his hand around his cock, pumping it to the same rhythm Dane fucked him in. Jai groaned as he came again so soon, body clenching around Dane’s cock and making his rhythm falter. Seconds later, Dane tensed above him, thrusting in one last time as he came.  

“I don’t want to go through anything like last night again,” he whispered as Jai curled into his arms afterwards. “You scared me.”

Jai kissed him before drawing back far enough to look into his eyes. “I’m not going anywhere, babe.” He smiled. “I’m here for as long as you’ll have me.”

“In that case, I’m keeping you. Forever.”

Jai nodded. “Forever.”

The following day, Jai got out of the courtesy car his insurance company had loaned him and glanced at Dane. Although the police had yet to find out who ran him off the road, he knew already and he’d had enough. It was time to take control and show the bastard who he was dealing with.

Jai marched up to the door and walked straight in without bothering to knock. There was the sound of a TV in the living room, so they headed that way after closing the door quietly. Nick was sprawled in an armchair by the window, his gaze focussed on the television screen. He had his grubby boots propped on the low table in front of him, a bottle of beer in his hand.

“Hello, Nick.”

Nick dropped his beer and it spilled, pooling around the neck of the bottle on the carpet. He started to get to his feet but Dane’s hands clamped down on his shoulders, holding him in place.

“What the hell do you want?”

Jai crouched down in front of Nick’s chair. He made sure to stay out of Nick’s reach, just in case the man tried to kick him. If he did, Jai was going to hurt him.

“We’re here to talk, and to warn you,” he said. “I know it was you in the pickup, just as I know you were behind the vandalism. It’s not enough that you’re stalking Sasha, is it?”

“I’m not stalking her!” Nick scowled. “I just want to see her; she wants to come home but you won’t even let her talk to me!”

Dane dug his fingers into the man’s shoulders. “Nicky, you need to listen. She doesn’t want you around. Now, if you don’t leave her and us alone, you are going to be sorry.”

“What, you two? Am I meant to be scared of you?” Nick sneered.

Jai allowed his eyes to turn to amber wolf-eyes and his teeth to shift, canines lengthening. He growled, low in his throat, and pinned Nick with his glare.

“Yes,” he answered.

Nick shrank back in the chair and pulled his knees up, away from Jai. As Jai edged closer, still growling, Nick whimpered.

“What the fuck are you?”

Jai smiled nastily. “You come near any of us again, and you’ll find out,” he promised.

Jai’s features shifted back to normal and he stood up. Dane released his grip on Nick’s shoulders and they went to let themselves out.

“I’ll tell everyone about you!”

Jai turned back to Nick and shrugged his shoulders. “Go ahead. Who would believe you?”

They rode back to Jai’s house and parked the car in the garage, locking up after them. Sasha had gone out with Joe for a drink and he hoped that she wouldn’t be back yet. He didn’t particularly want to have to explain where they’d been since he knew she would be annoyed when she found out. It would have concerned him that she was out, but he trusted Joe to look after her. He had worked with the wolf in the guard since arriving and, if his baby sister
had
to date someone, she could do worse than Joe. Of course, there were other benefits to Sasha going out with Joe.

“We have the house to ourselves…” Dane mused as he dropped his jacket over one of the kitchen chairs.

Jai quirked an eyebrow. “So we do,” he observed. He could see the gleam in Dane’s eyes and he smiled. “I wonder how we could pass the time? A movie, maybe?”

When Dane backed him into the wall and pressed a heavy kiss to his lips, he couldn’t help but laugh. He had been baiting but he was surprised at Dane’s response. Not that he minded, it was just that Dane usually waited for him to make the first move. This time, Dane was eager, touching everywhere, his fingers moving to unfasten Jai’s shirt. When he could finally get his hands inside he pushed it open and ran his hands over the smooth warm skin underneath.

“I want you,” he murmured in between kisses.

Jai decided to help him out and stripped out of his shirt, removing Dane’s as well. He reached up to Dane’s long hair, tugging the band that held it back so that he could run his fingers through the silky locks. With one hand to the back of his head, Jai pulled Dane in closer, claiming his mouth, as his other hand slipped down between them. He knew that Dane would only go so far in making the first move and he wanted more. Unfastening Dane’s jeans, he pushed them down over his hips, far enough to get a hand inside and wrap it around his mate’s cock.

Dane hissed in a breath as Jai’s fist closed around his dick, unable to keep himself still. He thrust his hips forward, pressing his cock into Jai’s grip.

“Please, Jai.”

Jai gave him a squeeze. “Please, what? You have to tell me what you want.”

“I… I want. Damn it. Want you to fuck me.”

Jai smiled and nipped the side of his neck with his teeth. “There now, that wasn’t too difficult, was it, babe?”

He stripped his jeans off and then Dane’s before backing Dane into the living room. He made a quick trip to his bedroom and found the bottle of lube, returning to where his lover waited rather impatiently. Dane stood watching him, his eyes slightly unfocussed and his lips swollen and pink from the kisses he’d received. Jai took a moment to admire him, and to reassure himself that the gorgeous man before him really was his.

Noticing him staring, Dane closed his hand around his cock, his eyes closing as he pumped a couple of times. Jai swatted his hand away.

“Turn around. Put your hands on the back of the sofa.”

Dane did as asked without question, bracing himself on his arms as he looked back over his shoulder.

“Jai… Holy fuck! Do that again.” He gasped as Jai pushed two slick fingers into his arse in one sharp move.

Jai did; he had been right in thinking that his mate actually got off on a bit of pain, a bit of roughness. He had another idea, and smiled to himself as he drew his fingers back.

“Don’t stop.”

“In a minute, babe.” Jai left for a moment. “Put your hands behind your back.”

Again, there was no question. Dane simply did as Jai told him, wriggling slightly as Jai bound his wrists with his belt.

“Is that okay? It’s not too tight, is it?” Although it had seemed like a good idea at the time, he suddenly thought about some of the things Dane had told him about the men who had taken advantage of him. “I can let you go if you want.”

Dane pushed his arse out, pressing back into Jai’s groin, his breathing heavy.

“No. Oh, shit. Jai, please!”

Dane was doing whatever he asked without question, not that he could do a lot with his hands bound, but still. It was so arousing knowing that Dane would play submissive to him. Fired on by the sight of Dane bound under him, he leaned him further over the back of the sofa and slicked his cock. Dane let out a needy whimper, telling Jai that he had waited long enough, and Jai obliged. One hand on Dane’s hip, he began to ease his cock into the tight channel of Dane’s arse. As he began to fuck his mate, Dane pressed back into him.

“More.”

Jai took him at his word, pounding into him harder, his fingers gripping Dane’s hips. Soon, the only sounds in the room were that of flesh hitting flesh and the gasps and groans. Dane was almost laid over the back of the sofa, his feet only just touching the floor, but Jai didn’t stop until he felt his balls tighten and then he came, filling Dane’s arse.

“Are you alright?” Jai asked, once he got his breath back. He eased out of his mate and moved Dane back so that he his feet were firmly on the ground again, reaching for the belt around his wrists. Dane stood on unsteady legs, his hand going to his cock. He hadn’t come yet, his prick still hard and ready.

“No, don’t touch,” Jai told him. “I have other plans for your cock.”

* * * *

Dane whimpered softly. “Need to come, Jai.”

Jai manhandled Dane around until he sat on the couch, taking hold of Dane’s cock. Ducking his head, Jai ran his tongue lightly over the head before taking in his entire length. As his mate’s throat constricted around his dick, he wound his fingers into Jai’s hair, wanting to touch him. Jai looked so perfect,gazing up at him through his lashes, his mouth was still on Jai’s cock and his cheeks hollowing as he sucked on the upstroke.
Fuck, Jai is good at this
.
Too good
, he thought, unable to hold back any longer. Jai continued to suck him through his orgasm, milking every last drop from him before releasing his cock.

“Damn,” Dane told him sleepily, “I think you’ve worn me out.”

“Well don’t go to sleep there,” Jai said, urging him to his feet and steering him toward the bedroom. He went to the bathroom to find a damp cloth to clean them up with, tossing it onto the floor when he was done instead of taking it back. Shifting Dane, he got them both into bed and pulled the covers back over them. Dane sighed sleepily and cuddled into his arms, draping his body across Jai’s.

“Love you.”

Jai smiled and kissed his nose. “I love you too.”

* * * *

Jai had just disentangled himself from Dane’s arms and was retrieving the various items of clothing left scattered around the house when he heard a key turn in the door. He dashed into the kitchen and scooped up the discarded shirts from the floor, almost making it back to the bedroom.

“I think you forgot something.”

He groaned, turning to see Sasha grinning at him, a pair of jeans swinging from her index finger. As if it wasn’t enough getting caught running around the house, buck naked, he saw that she wasn’t alone.

“Hi Joe.”

His fellow guard looked him over and chuckled before turning back to Sasha. “I had a lovely time,” he said, kissing her on the cheek. “I’ll give you a call about dinner tomorrow, okay?”

Sasha nodded and he left, waving goodbye to Jai.

“I’m assuming that I don’t want to know about these,” she commented, tossing the jeans at him. He snatched them from the air and grinned. He didn’t bother to cover up; werewolves had a relaxed attitude to nudity and, since she had grown up with them, he didn’t think Sasha would be offended.

“Probably not. So, you had a good time tonight?”

She nodded. “I’m going to bed; I have to work tomorrow,” she said, glancing up when she heard footsteps getting closer and a voice calling to find out where Jai was. “I’ll let you go first,” she joked. “Get Dane covered up. The last thing I want to see is my big brother wandering about naked as well.”

“So it’s not just because you want to catch a good look at my bum on the way up the stairs?” he teased.

Sasha protested, loudly, but she was laughing as she did so.

“Well, maybe a bit,” she admitted. “It is a very nice bum.”

Jai glanced back over his shoulder and saw her face flush as she was caught staring. He smirked.

“Flirt,” she muttered.

Jai caught Dane’s arm when he got upstairs and steered him back into the bedroom, closing the door.

“I woke up and you were gone.”

“I went to get these. Your sister is back, by the way,” he said. Dane raised an eyebrow as Jai dropped the pile of clothes on the floor. “Joe stopped by as well.”

“And you greeted them like that?”

Jai climbed back into bed. “Yep; I didn’t have much of a choice.” He pulled Dane against his front, dragging the covers back over them and settling down to go back to sleep.

“How would you feel about us taking a trip out of town for a few days?”

From the look on his face, Dane expected that there was more to this than Jai was saying, and he nodded slowly. They were sprawled on the sofa, a bowl of popcorn on Dane’s lap, watching a movie. Dane shifted from where he leaned back against Jai to turn and look at him.

“Where to?”

“Your mum called Sasha last night and she wants you to go and visit.” Jai held up his hand to stop Dane’s protests. “She says she’s had a long talk with your dad and that he won’t make a fuss when you get there. Or rather, we—she made it very clear that the invitation was for both of us.”

Dane moved away from him and folded his arms across his chest, shaking his head. “No. Why should I have to go all the way there? After the way he treated me, he should come here if he wants to apologise.”

“Too bad,” Jai told him, ignoring the glare he received. “I already called your mum back and said we’d go.”

* * * *

Despite Dane’s objections, he found himself the following day packing clothes into a suitcase. Sasha’s boss had heard about Nick’s harassment and offered to let her take some time off. Jai called and booked their seats on the train that afternoon whilst Dane began loading things into a bag. He hadn’t realised until he started packing just how many of his belongings were at Jai’s house. When he mentioned it to Jai, however, Jai just smiled.

“I’ve been thinking…when we get back, why don’t you move in?” he said. “You already stay here most nights and I like having you here when I wake up. What do you think?” His smile faltered slightly. “Am I rushing you?”
