Tener noticed how frail and delicate she was when he scooped her up in his arms.
Jonathan grabbed her bag off the floorboard and stuck it under his raincoat to keep it from getting wet.
“Find out if she has any information, a contact, whatever. I’ll call them to meet her at the hospital once she is okay to go.”
Jonathan nodded and followed Tener, who was still naked but didn’t think much of it as he carried the young woman’s body to the mansion’s entrance.
Lascivious closed the doors of the SUV and got in to park it in the garage. There was a free space now, so Jonathan’s vehicle could occupy it for the time being.
While Prurien had Amorous settled in the great room, Tener took the young female to the Alpha’s room.
Jonathan quickly went to the medicine closet to get a few pain patches before following Tener upstairs.
The demon opened the door to Lascivious’s room.
“Think she will be okay here until we get a spare room ready?”
“Oh, hell yes, I don’t think Lasci has ever touched a woman, let alone himself, being how uptight he is.”
Tener chuckled as Jonathan moved the black silk sheet and duvet aside so Tener could lay her down.
“Should we undress her?”
Johnathan looked at the pain patches in his hand and then back at Tener, grinning devilishly.
“Do YOU think we should?”
Jonathan saw it as an opportunity to stir up some fun.
Tener thought for a moment looking at her. He didn’t realize how it would look if she woke up and he was still standing over her naked.
“Yes, I suppose.”
He shrugged as he responded, oblivious to Jonathan’s intent.
“Okay, go ahead then, undress her.”
Tener started unbuttoning her soaking blouse as Jonathan looked on eagerly, trying not to laugh.
“What the hell are you doing?”
Tener froze when he heard Lascivious’s voice behind him.
Jonathan jumped back, dropping the pain patches, and pointed at the younger wolf who had his hand on the next button, “He was about to undress her. It was his idea!”
Tener turned in shock, waving his hands, “No, it wasn’t! Jonathan said he thinks we should undress her.”
Lascivious looked at both of them and growled in a voice so deep. It made Tener let out a slight whimper.
“Leave, now!”
They both hurried out of the room, pushing at each other and cursing.
Once the door was shut, the Alpha wolf took a deep breath as he looked at her face. He could tell she was probably in her early 20s and not from around there. Most people in their tiny town smelt like the ocean, being so close to it. This female did not.
Unlike Jonathan, he didn’t want to touch her and had no intention of molesting her.
Undoing the buttons of her blouse, one by one, he looked away.
Once he felt the last button release, he looked to find her arm quickly and pulled the blouse off.
By the time he was done removing her shirt and slipping off her long skirt, he was mentally exhausted. Deciding to say fuck it, he looked at her entire body.
“It’s just a person, not even an attractive person,” he said, lying to himself, “nothing too impressive. Okay, clothes off. Let’s get you covered up again.”
With the blankets pulled up to the unconscious female’s chin, he took a deep breath of relief. He didn’t remove her bra and panties because he had nothing to replace them.
Hearing a creek by the door and smelling his brother, he called out, “Come in here.”
Prurien peeked his head in.
“Is there anything I can do to help?”
Lascivious sat on the side of the bed and looked at Prurien by the door.
“Yes, but first, did Jonathan look at Amorous?”
Prurien nodded, “Yea, he said our little brother would be fine. He’s bruised and scraped up more than anything. He believes the female has a busied lung and a fractured leg, so we should get her to the hospital soon.”
Lascivious thought for a moment and shook his head, “I don’t think we will send her to a hospital. I will have Jonathan call Dr. Fry. He can treat her here. Taking the chance on someone finding out we took an injured woman from the scene of an accident, realistically, would not bode well for us.”
“I agree. Once Amorous is settled in bed, I will work on the spare room.”
“Good idea, and send Tener and Jonathan to pick up Libidi. There shouldn’t be any issue with the weather now if they are careful. Also, have them stop and grab some necessities for her. Jonathan knows what females need, tell him to keep his perversions out of it, however.”
His brother nodded and left, closing the door again.
Noticing the pain patches on the floor by his feet, he picked them up. One by one, he removed the back of them and stuck them where ever his hand landed each time he quickly lifted and laid back the blankets.
“There, hopefully, that does something to help you.”
He knew she didn’t hear him, but he felt better trying.
Not giving the placement of the patches another thought, he headed to his bathroom. Each room on the second floor had one. It was one of the biggest perks of their overly large home.
He decided on a long hot shower, figuring the young woman would be asleep for a while.
Being in there long enough, most of the tension in his shoulders and back eased. Long days sitting in his office working on paperwork did a number on a body that was made to be moving.
Lost in thought about work, he got out of the shower and dried off. Tossing his towel in the hamper, he walked into his room to get dressed.
Lascivious froze when he made eye contact with the female sitting in his bed.
He watched her stare and then suddenly looked him up and down before hiding under the blankets with a small scream.
“Please don’t kill me!”
Lascivious quickly ducked back into the bathroom and slammed the door. Pressing his ear against it, he listened, and there was no noise. Then, grabbing his phone, which he left on the bathroom counter, he quickly called Prurien. “Get up here, and I need help getting some clothes.” “Getting some clothes, why?” Lascivious started whispering, “The injured woman is awake. That’s why!” “Oh, but does that have to do with you needing clothes? Lasci, did you do something to her while she was asleep?” The oldest brother slammed his fist on the marble bathroom counter, “Just get up here, Pru, now!” He hung up the phone and continued listening. Finally, there was slight coughing, and he heard the woman’s soft voice. “Excuse me, hello?” “Keep your head covered. I’m coming out!” He heard her gasp as he started to turn the door handle, then something hard hit the door. “Don’t come out. Next is the lamp!” He took a deep breath and then spoke, “Look, lady, I am not going to k
Purity watched as Lasci left the bathroom and shut the door behind him. She let out a deep breath, trying not to cough again. She hurt everywhere. Looking around, she noticed how nice but cold the bathroom was, all black tile and grey accents. It looked nothing like the warmth of her grandmother's bathroom. Tears started falling from her eyes with the pain she felt in her body and heart, along with the regret of not making it to see her grandmother. She had left college immediately when the call came to the office from the hospital. Her grandmother had passed, and she was too busy trying to live her life. All she could remember was flying through the storm with her car, trying to get to the hospital. Purity’s grandmother raised her since she was a baby. Unfortunately, her parents had died in a horrible plane crash, and thankfully she was staying with her grandma at the time of the crash. Granny, what Purity had always called her, believed in eating cookies for dinner, staying u
Suddenly the pressure on her chest lessened. “There, you should have told me it unclasped in the back. Then, I wouldn’t have wasted time trying to find something to cut it!” She could tell he was frustrated again. “Sorry, I didn’t think about it. Thank you.” Turning, she realized he was on his knees facing her. He stared at her for a moment, and she licked her dry lips. The movement drew his eyes, and he quickly looked away as he stood up. “I’ll add some warm water to the tub. Why don’t you try freeing your left hand.” Purity couldn’t grab the bra with her hurt wrist and hand. “I need some help, I think.” “Why? Is your right hand broken or something?” She pulled it out from under the sheet and looked at it, “I’m not sure, but it hurts to move my wrist.” Lasci turned around and looked at her, “You aren’t sure? Fine, let me take a look.” She held her arm, and he grabbed her hand roughly, making her wince. “It’s swollen.” He let go gently. “Alright, turn around.” She hesi
Lasci watched the interaction between Dr. Fry and Purity, finding it amusing. “So, in two weeks, you’ll be back?” Dr. Fry turned to Lasci, “Yes, best I give her a clean bill of health then. For now, you boys need to watch over her and keep her from moving too much. Otherwise, that wrist and leg could get worse. I’ll give her something for the pain to help her sleep. She needs to take it and the antibiotic with food or at least milk.” Lasci nodded, “If she would sit still long enough, then it shouldn’t be an issue. Thanks, doc.” Dr. Fry nodded and waved goodbye before leaving the room. Once the door was closed, Lasci turned to Purity while she sat up across the end of the bed. “My brothers should be back soon with what you may need. Also, your bag from the accident is downstairs. I’ll have someone bring it up.” He turned to leave, but Purity’s response stopped him. “It’s empty. I was taking it to the hospital to grab my grandmother's things, but it’s too late. I am sure
Lasci ran up the stairs with the bag of stuff for Purity while both brothers snickered at his frustration. “Pru, tell Johnathan to bring up a tray of apples and some tea. The female’s medication is on the counter by the fridge. She will need that,” Lasci yelled over his shoulder. His brother nodded and went to the kitchen, followed by Libidi. The Alpha opened his bedroom door and found Purity asleep. Looking around, he didn’t see anything out of order in the room until the floor-length, thick grey curtain moved gently at the balcony door on the other side of the bed. “What the hell,” he whispered loudly and then looked over at Purity, worrying he woke her. She only shifted slightly, staying asleep. He walked over slowly, gently setting the bag of items at the end of the bed, and grabbed the curtain before pulling it aside. One of the wood-framed glass doors was swaying ajar, its hook dangling. The mansion was old, so all three balconies on the home had the old-fashioned hook a
Sitting at the head of their long dinner table, Lasci waited for his brothers to calm down. Johnathan had set the dinner table with several different dishes, and the brothers had their drink of choice. The conversations finally all reduced to a murmur, and Lasci could speak. “Now that it is quiet let me just say,” Lasci stood, his usual slick-backed black hair hanging loose, framing his golden-tinged brown eyes, “Now that our brother is home, we are complete. Libidi, it took four years for you to come back again, and you have appeared to come back a stronger, more mature wolf. Welcome home, brother!” Everyone yelled out, practically howling in celebration, and a few were even wearing the party hats Tener had insisted on adding to the party. Lasci’s brother Libidi smiled and raised his beer in acknowledgment, “It's great to be home, and first, I want to say thanks for all the support this family has given. I missed everyone one of you because, well, I’m sure I did for some reas
With one hand on the headboard and the other one by her head, holding him up, Lasci took a slow deep breath through his nose. Her scent filled his mind and intoxicated him. He somehow landed his hips between her legs and could feel the heat reach his groin through the lounge pants. She started to wiggle, “Um, I can’t move, please. You’re a bit heavy, sorry.” Wiggling more to the side, she accidentally rubbed the soft mound between her legs against the growing hardness between his, making Lasci’s wolf cry out in his mind, wanting to mate, to mark her. “Don’t, just don't move, stop wiggling,” he breathed out, unsure what was coming over him. The feeling of taking her, almost devouring every inch of her with his body, started running through his imagination. Purity kept trying to move out from underneath him, “I’m sorry, just let me, um,” her words were breathy, making his heart race with desire even more. “I SAID DON’T MOVE, OR SO HELP ME, WOMAN, I WON'T STOP ONCE I START” He f
Sleep did not come easy for Lasci or Purity. As one tossed, the other turned, both with thoughts on their minds. Lasci felt his mind should be focused on safeguarding the home now that an unknown stranger had entered their territory and threatened him. He was never one to act rashly when it came to threats. Lasci’s loss of control could occur from what lay in his bed. A female. Wolf or not, he couldn’t shake the urge to take her and touch the body hidden by the long shirt she was wearing. He noticed the bag of items Johnathan purchased was still untouched, so thoughts of her without underwear worsened. Turning, he couldn’t see above the bed. Thinking that maybe if he looked at Purity once more before bed, he could be satisfied and move on, but as Lasci was about to sit up, he heard her voice. “Grandma, I’m sorry, so, so sorry, please don’t go yet, Grandma, please wait for me. I’m sorry!” Her voice, barely above a whisper, cried out for the grandmother she had mentioned. Lasci ju
