I was sitting up straight in bed flicking through the channels on the television when Megan walked out of the dressing room and the remote fell from my hands as I looked at her.
“Is this payback?” I asked her.
“Of course not,” she said with a smile telling me she was doing this on purpose.
“Uh huh,” I said as I picked the remote up again.
“You don’t like it?” she asked me as she walked towards the bed.
“Oh I like it,” I said, “it’s just not going to work.”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about, it’s just pajamas,” she said and I laughed as I put the pillow on my lap and closed my eyes.
“I’m strong, I can do this, I can resist,” I said to myself softly.
“Can you really?” she asked as I opened my eyes and she was right in front of me.
“You don’t play fair,” I said to her as she grabbed the pillow from my lap and straddled me.
“All is fair in love and war,” she whispered.
“You’re playing with fire,” I said to her as she started kissing me.
She started moving on top of me as she kissed me. Who was I kidding? I couldn’t resist her. I lifted her up and pushed her down on her back and my claws elongated as I cut through the excuse of pajamas she was wearing and pulled it off her.
“Those were new!” she said as I pulled the flimsy material off her.
“I warned you,” I said to her as my claws retracked and I pushed her legs open with my knees.
She sucked in a breath as I pushed myself deep inside her, I wasn’t gentle and I wasn’t taking it slow. Her orgasm triggered mine and by that time we were both covered in sweat and breathing hard. I was still inside her when she clenched her pelvic muscles and I was instantly hard again and going for round two.
“We need to take a break,” Megan said after two hours and two more rounds of sex.
“Nope, you started this little game now you have to finish it,” I said to her as I pulled her on top of me.
“I won’t be able to walk tomorrow,” she said.
“That’ll keep you out of trouble for at least a day,” I said as I pushed back inside of her.
“Fine you win,” she said as she took deep breaths after another round and I started to laugh.
“Remember who’s the Sire here,” I said to her as she slapped my arm and turned on her side away from me.
“Your mother was right, you are an asshole,” she said as I pulled her closer to me and molded myself around her.
I woke up the next morning to banging on my bedroom door. It was still dark out and I looked at my watch, five am. I silently cursed Link for waking me up because he was the only person that would be banging on my door at that time of the morning.
“Someone better be dying,” I said as I yanked the door open after pulling on a pair of sweatpants.
“There’s a pregnant woman downstairs, she’s hysterical and asking for you,” Link said as he looked at me worriedly.
“Pregnant?” Megan asked from behind me.
“Looks like she took a beating too,” Link said as I grabbed a t-shirt and pulled it on.
Megan followed me down the stairs as I heard Emily in the living room talking to someone. Link went to the kitchen as I walked in and stopped in the doorway and looked at her. She looked up and started crying again as soon as she saw and ran into my arms, wrapping herself around me.
“What the hell happened to you?” I asked her as my arms went around her as well.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know where else to go,” she said as she clung to me.
“It’s okay, you did the right thing,” I said as my eyes found Megan’s and she looked at us with widened eyes.
“I brought you tea,” Link said as he put the cup down on the table and joined Emily.
“Come on, sit down and tell me exactly what happened,” I said as I led her to the couch.
“Drink your tea first, it’ll help calm you down,” Emily said.
“Can I quickly talk to you?” Megan asked me softly and I nodded.
We stepped out of the living room and Megan turned to look at me, “who is she?”
“Her name’s Shelley,” I said.
“Is that yours?” she asked me and I knew she was referring to the bulge in Shelley’s stomach.
“Hell no,” I said to her.
“Okay,” she said and walked back into the living room.
“Shelley, this is Megan, my bonded half and that’s Link, my second and my cousin Emily,” I said as I sat down on the couch opposite her with Megan next to me.
“I’m not here to cause any problems between you two,” Shelley said as she looked at Megan.
“Why don’t you start by telling us what happened to you?” Megan asked her gently.
“I met my bonded half a while back but he was in a relationship with someone else. We met at a party and he told me had a girlfriend but he said we’d figure it out. I didn’t hear from him for a couple of days and then he called me out of the blue saying we should get to know each other and see if the bond can work. Obviously, I went to meet him and in the beginning it was all fine but then he started to change, he wasn’t happy with anything I did. In the beginning it was only verbal, telling me that I wasn’t as good as his ex-girlfriend and if it wasn’t for the stupid bond he’d never be with someone like me. I tried to leave but he told me that I couldn’t ever leave because of the bond,” she said as tears welled up in her eyes again.
“It’s okay, you’re safe here with us,” Megan said as she joined Shelley on the couch and took her in her arms.
“When I found out I was pregnant he beat me up saying that the baby wasn’t his, he’d keep me tied to the bed and did whatever he wanted, saying that the bond drove him to do it,” she said.
“How did you get away?” I asked her.
“Last night he beat me again and told me to leave, he threw me out of his house in the rain, kicked me in the stomach and said he hoped that I died along with my bastard,” she said.
“Who the hell is this asshole?” Emily asked.
“Alex,” she said, “Alex Redford.”
“This is just fucking great,” I said as we all looked at each other.
“Who’s Alex Redford?” Emily asked as she watched the three of us.
“Someone I banished from my territory,” I said as Megan looked down.
“Link get the lair doctor here to check on Shelley, Emily, see what clothes you can find for her and ready a room on the second floor, Ryder, you should contact the Elders about this,” Megan said as she kept on soothing Shelley.
“Where is the bastard now?” I asked Shelley.
“He has a house just outside of town out on Backbone Road, he’s not affiliated with any lair,” she said.
“Have you contacted your father?” I asked her.
“My father died in a car accident two months ago and I left the lair because I was willing to follow Alex,” she said sadly.
“I’m sorry about your father,” I said to her.
“So them being rogue dragons, what does that mean?” Emily asked.
“It doesn’t change anything, the crime happened in Illinois, he lives in no man’s land, sneaky bastard, but we can still take this to the Elders,” I said.
“Can’t you just kill him?” Shelley asked me and everyone looked at her with shock in their eyes.
“He’s not of my lair, he answers to no Sire, so no I can’t just kill him even if I want to, he has to be put on trial and I doubt that he’ll get a death sentence for this,” I said to her.
“She should join our lair,” Megan said as she looked at me.
“The doctor’s two minutes out, he said to get comfortable on a bed,” Link said as he walked back into the living room.
Emily and Link took Shelley upstairs to the guest bedroom as Megan sat there and looked at me. She didn’t say a word as she stood up and went upstairs just before the doctor arrived.
“Hi Pete, thanks for coming so early,” I said to him as we shook hands.
“Not a problem Sire, where is she?” he asked me.
“Upstairs on the second floor,” I said as he took the stairs and headed upstairs to the guest room.
I also made my way upstairs to our bedroom where I found Megan busy making the bed. She was unusually quiet and even Abeloth ignored me when I tried to talk to him. It seems like he had made his peace with her.
“Talk to me,” I said as I sat down on the couch.
“About what?” she asked me.
“About what you’re feeling and thinking right now,” I said to her.
“So she’s your ex-girlfriend?” she asked me.
“No.”
“But you did sleep with her,” she said.
“A few times,” I said, “it was never permanent or serious.”
“I see,” she said and walked towards the bathroom.
“She doesn’t have to stay here you know, if you want her gone she’s gone,” I said.
“No, you should help her,” she said and I heard the shower as she opened the taps.
“Are you mad at me for some reason?” I asked her as I opened the shower door.
“No, I’m just trying to take a shower,” she said and turned her back on me.
“Can I join you then if you’re not mad?” I asked her.
“As long as you keep your hands to yourself,” she said as I undressed and climbed into the shower with her.
“Did you go through my stuff the other day?” I asked her and she smiled as she blushed.
“Not exactly, I was tidying up,” she said.
“You should’ve told me you found it,” I said.
“How did you know?” she asked me.
“It wasn’t exactly in the same place,” I said as she laughed.
“So I guess you are planning on proposing,” she said as I pressed her against the shower wall.
“Maybe,” I said and kissed her.
