The Alpha's Toy (12 page)

“
They simply wanted more. It
wasn’t enough for them to keep to their own grounds.” Zeke gathered
up the files into one neat stack. His father was filled with
happiness knowing his daughter had fought to get out.

“
Something so simple
shouldn’t have created something so fucking awful,” she said.
“You’re talking about them hurting other people, other
wolves.”

“
They were coming after my pack.”
Zeke sat down behind the desk staring at her. The clothes she wore
did nothing for her curves. His clothing was much too big. He
couldn’t bring himself to let her have the clothes they’d taken
from the other house. The stench of the other pack clung to
them.

“
What?”

“
Yeah, it’s in their game plan.
We’ve got Dani’s diary. She was the person behind it all.” Zeke
stared down the length of her body feeling desire curl in his
stomach.

“
Are there any other people
missing?” she asked.

“
Dad’s finding that out
now. He’s talking with the other pack hoping to find the answer to
that.” His cock thickened at the thought of being buried inside her
cunt. He needed her desperately. “Come here,” he said.

She shook her head. “No, we can’t do
that.”

“
Do what?” he asked,
teasing her.

“
You know what. I’m not
going to think straight until I know what’s going on.” She put the
empty bowl of salad down and started to pace.

“
I need to find my sister.
She’ll have the answers.”

“
How?” she asked, clearly
stressing out.

Standing up, he walked around the desk
going to her. Pulling her into his arms, Zeke inhaled her warm
fresh scent. “We’ve got to go away from here,” he said.

“
What? Why?”

“
The full moon is over, and I’m
needed back in the city. My men are only here to offer me
protection under this current threat.” He pushed her long brown
hair over her shoulder and inhaled her scent. She smelled like his
woman. He felt his canines lengthen, getting ready for him to
strike and claim her as his mate.

“
What do you want me to
do?” she asked.

“
You’ll be coming with me.
Dad’s taking Jessica with him until we know more. The only safe
place for wolves right now is within the city. Our agreement is
until the next full moon. We’ve got three weeks left.”

“
I know how long we’ve got left.”
She looked up at him. Her brown eyes were hooded. Moving his hand
down, he cupped her ass, squeezing the supple flesh. She moaned.
“Is that all you think about?” she asked.

“
You’ve got a body for
fucking. I’m just like any red blooded male. Any man who got the
pleasure of having you to themselves would take full
advantage.”

She obviously liked the way he was
speaking. Pushing the shirt he’d given her out of the way he slid
his fingers underneath the band of her pants. Her pussy was slick
to the touch and burning hot. Mary opened her thighs giving him
better access.

“
I feel how much you need me.
Tonight, you’ll be ready for me. Once I start fucking you I’m not
going to stop until you
come all over my cock.”

Tilting her head back, he sank his fingers
into her core as he sucked on her neck. She relented, thrusting
onto his fingers as if her life depended on it.

“
I’ve got you, baby, fuck
my hand,” he said.

Her body was heating up with every
passing second. Her wolf purred at him for his cock.

Smiling, he sucked on her neck,
pressing his thumb to her clit.

She shattered around his fingers. Minutes
later as he was bringing her down from her orgasm, a knock sounded
at the door. Removing his fingers from her body he called for his
father to enter.

Mary kept her head buried
against his chest. Her heart was pounding
, and her hand was caressing his
chest.

“
Hello, son, I was told I’d
find you here,” his father said.

“
Dad, I’d like you to meet
Mary.” Zeke made the introductions quickly. Her cheeks were bright
red as she looked at his father.

“
It’s a pleasure to meet
you…”

“
Name’s William, honey. I
imagine my son hasn’t told you anything other than Dad or his
father.”

She smiled. “Something like that,
yes.”

His father was putting her at
ease.

“
Son, go and get us a drink
while I talk with this gem of yours.”

Mary giggled.

Chuckling, he took the plate of empty
food and headed toward the kitchen. Jane and Max were making out in
the corner as some of the Alphas were talking. They stopped when he
entered the room.

“
How is your woman handling
the news?” Max asked.

“
She’s shocked by what we
found with Roger and Dani.” The diary in the center of the table
was Dani’s that had given them an insight into what was happening.
“Anything new in there?” he asked, putting the plates in the
sink.

“
Not yet. We’re looking through
it. Taking it back home with us, we’re going to look into her
contacts. We think there could be an outside source or something
else. I don’t know what the hell is going on to force pack leaders
to turn against their own,” one of the Alphas said.

Nodding, he filled several glasses
with water and walked over to Jane and Max.

“
Are you two all set to return
home?” he asked. They were his closest friends, and he would hate
to have anything happen to them.

“
We’re packed,” Jane said.
“Are you sure this is wise?”

“
It’s our only solution with
what’s happening as otherwise we’re going to risk being out in the
open,” he said.

“
We killed them, Zeke. What
kind of threat do they pose?” Max asked.

“
My sister is still out there.
She’s been missing for a long time, and according to her file she
wasn’t with them very long.” Zeke glanced over at the Alphas
talking amongst themselves. “I think it’s logical to suggest she
got caught up in something much worse. I couldn’t handle anything
happening to you.”

“
What do you mean about
something much worse?” Jane asked.

“
They were experimenting on us.
How do we know someone else wasn’t interested in knowing our
secret?” Zeke wasn’t prepared to take the chance that a bigger,
deadlier party wasn’t involved. Keeping all of them protected was
his top priority.

Heading back to the study he
heard his father and Mary talking. Standing outside he listened to
them laugh and joke for several minutes before he walked
inside.
He
would do everything to protect Mary. Zeke felt responsible for her.
He brought her into his world, but he’d not been there to protect
her when she needed him most.

Chapter Nine

Zeke’s apartment was entirely
different
from his house that he shared with the pack in the county.
Glancing out of the window on the tenth floor, Mary wondered what
the attraction was with heights. If anything happened to his
windows he would plunge to his death. Staring down at the concrete
floor, she took a step back needing the comfort of the
ground.

He’d left her in his sitting room to take
a shower. Looking around the room, Mary was embarrassed by her
small apartment. What surprised her was how close they lived
together. She was about five blocks away from him. They could have
crossed paths in the street, and she wouldn’t have even realized
it.

Not possible, you’d
remember a man like Zeke.

The sound of the shower being turned
off alerted her to his presence. Turning to the sound of him
getting closer she felt her cheeks heat at the sight of him wet and
covered in only a towel.

“
How can you live so far up?” she
asked, turning back to look at the window. Heat flooded her body,
and she was embarrassed for an entirely new reason.

Zeke chuckled. “Honey, I can smell you all
the way over here. I know you want me.” He walked up behind her,
wrapping his arms around her waist. “Take your clothes
off.”

“
What? I can’t take my clothes
off.” She spluttered the words out not knowing how to speak a
coherent thought.

He left her side and closed the blinds
plunging them into a sort of darkness. Her improved eyesight meant
she could see him clearly.

“
What are you doing?” she
asked.

“
You ask a lot of
questions.” He removed his towel and threw it at her. She caught
the towel before it hit her in the face.

“
You’re not being serious
at all,” she said.

“
Baby, we’re alone in my
apartment, and I want you naked.”

“
How can you be thinking about
that right now? You’ve got a sister to find and research to look
through.” The fight was leaving her as he stepped
closer.

“
I’ve also got a family who
will take care of everything while I spend some time with my little
toy.”

Why did she have to respond to him calling
her a toy? It was ridiculous, wrong, but he made her melt every
time he said it.

He took hold of her shirt, tugging it over
her head. Zeke pushed down the jeans she wore. He wouldn’t allow
her any underwear, and she was completely naked like
him.

Cupping her cheek, he tilted her head
back. “This is the only way I can think of to not think about
what’s going on,” he said. “My sister has been missing for some
time. I’m terrified of what’s going to happen to her. What if she’s
dead somewhere, and we’ll never find her?” He dropped a kiss to her
lips. She started to shake from his touch. “What if Dani was
working for someone else? I don’t know the answer to any of these
questions, but there is nothing we can do.”

Closing her eyes, Mary knew he spoke
the truth. There was nothing for either of them to do. There was no
use in waiting around worrying. Neither of them could do
anything.

“
What about work?” she
asked.

“
What about it? I called ahead,
and I can do everything I need to do from here with the occasional
quick nip to the office. It’s easier sorting everything out here
than back in the country. Don’t worry, baby, I’m not going anywhere
yet. Your ass is mine, and we’re not going anywhere other than to
fuck and spend time with each other.” He lifted her up in his arms.
Giggling, she wrapped her legs around his waist as he led them back
toward his bedroom.

Zeke was right. She could spend the rest
of her life worrying about what Dani and Roger created, or she
could experience fulfillment in his arms.

He kicked opened the door, and she was
thrown to the bed. Laughing, she squealed as he followed her down.
They struggled on the bed. Mary fought him, but Zeke was stronger
and more powerful than she was. He pressed her hands beside her
head, opening her thighs to settle between.

“
I’ve got you. Fight me,
Mary.”

She stayed perfectly still disobeying him.
His rock hard cock pressed to her stomach. Everything else faded
away as she looked into his beautiful dark eyes. He really was a
sexy man. Zeke made her feel small and delicate, and all he was
doing was holding her down. Her heart pounded against her
chest.

Mary watched him take a deep breath
inhaling her scent.

“
You smell so fucking
good.”

“
You’ve got a thing for my scent,
don’t you?” she asked, smiling. She tightened her grip around his
hands wanting to feel every ounce of his strength. He didn’t budge,
merely stared down at her waiting. They were in a battle of wills,
but she wasn’t intent on winning. No, she wanted to see how far she
could push this man who’d taken her virginity. Zeke was more than
the man who’d stolen her cherry.

How could he have stolen
my cherry when I freely gave it to him?

The situation she found herself
in may
not
have started out freely given, but she’d taken as much advantage of
their predicament as he had.

“
What’s going on inside
that head of yours?” he asked.

“
Wouldn’t you like to
know?” She raised an eyebrow much like he had the first time they’d
met.

He tugged her hands right above her
head stretching her out. “I can do a lot more than get inside your
head.”

“
You can only hear my thoughts
when you’re in wolf form.” She gasped as the hand he released slid
down their bodies. Crying out, Mary was a slave to the touch of his
fingers as he slid a finger between her slit. His digit caressing
over her clit made her want him so desperately. There was no way
she could fight the building need within her. Zeke knew how to
touch her in a way that drove her crazy and stopped her from
fighting him. She’d become exactly what he said he wanted, a toy.
Mary wanted him to play with her to bring her body to pleasure so
undeniable that it stopped all other thoughts.

“
Baby, I can hear you no matter
what. There is so much to learn about you other than your
thoughts.” Fingers penetrated her pussy making her gasp. “Your
body, your smell
, even the way you are around me tells me so much about
you.”
