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!”
Unfortunately, I got very sick in early 2023, and in October of 2023, I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma type cancer. I have finished chemo, and it is officially in remission (yay! thank the Lord). I will be updating soon, hopefully, as my energy returns. I want to finish my stories and continue others soooo badly, it is driving me crazy! I am soo sorry for the lack of updating, and keeping in touch. I hope everyone is well and I look forward to writing for you again soon. Please be patient and thank you for waiting on me, I promise to hurry!
It was Tener. Standing there with one hand holding the towel closed and the other on the stall, he looked at her with deep blue eyes. Water was dripping from his tawny hair plastered along the side of a very trim, muscular arm. She could see the muscles on his stomach rippling south below the towel. Letting out a loud squeak, Purity turned, hiding her face, “TENER! This is the women's shower!” He didn't respond, but she could feel the burn of his gaze on her naked backside. At that point, the shower sound was muted because she clearly heard the slip and drop of his towel. “What are you doing?” she asked, still hiding her face, not daring to turn around. Suddenly warm, gentle hands slipped up her waist and beneath her arms before gently cupping her full breasts. “Shhh, don’t move…,” he said, pressing his hardness against her backside and leaning to her ear. Purity was stuck. She didn’t want this, even as she protested, but something in her made her stay still and not resist, “Te
Johnathan's laughter rang through the phone as Lasci started to undress to ready his wolf, "What's so funny?" he asked, kicking off his shoes. "A moment, please, let me gather myself," Johnathan said, trying to calm the laughter, "You have no need to rush out as if saving the day, Lasci. The shifter is harmless. We've already had a nice chat over the phone, and as for Purity, I will say she's enjoying her dominance over Tener. I brought them to the gym for some blood-pumping exercise and discipline. It turns out our Purity is quite the little fox when it comes to handling your brother. She has had him on his back several times after learning only a few moves. I admire her capabilities, to be honest." Lasci took a deep breath and leaned against the wall in the foyer, "You took them to the gym, for a date?" "Yes, why? It's perfectly normal, and it allows them to be close physically. Is there something wrong with that, Lasci?" As much as Lasci wanted to yell into the phone, "YES
Bastian smirked, “Thought you’d find that worth staying in my company for a moment. After your bad form toward my love, everyone left the dinner table. So, eventually, I found myself waiting on her balcony with no intention of eavesdropping. But, mind you, it just happened that way. I must have caught the tail end of something because one minute, they were talking about your nasty declaration, and the next, the female wolf was attempting to open the balcony door. I was about to hide myself when your brother, Pru, came in the bedroom door and caught her attempting to leave.” Lasci shook his head, irritated, “You’re telling me something I already know, Bastian. Get on with it, or I’ll lose my patience.” Bastian smiled innocently, “I’m getting there, be patient. Now, where was I? Oh yes, her leaving and your brother coming in. So they had exchanged a few words, and the female wolf left.” Bastian acted like that was the end of it, and Lasci snapped, “You’re wasting my time.” “
Lasci paced the floor, his mind on edge about Purity and everything he said the night before. Now that Fahal had left, he was worried Purity might hate him even more. The front door opened, breaking his thoughts when Pru came in. “Any luck?” Prus shook his head, “Nothing. She’s either covered her trail perfectly or had help.” Running his hands desperately through his hair Lasci swore, “Fuck, I bet that vampire helped her. Where is he?” “I haven’t seen him since dinner last night. It’s possible he helped her leave, but we can’t be certain. If the female wolf was here, in fact, looking for a mate, I doubt she would have left regardless of what the situation was. Not all of us will be mated to Purity, so she had a chance. If you ask me, I think she was just looking for a place to hide before moving on. Refuge, in a manner of speaking.” Lasci nodded in agreement but still felt uneasy about it, “What do you think we should tell Purity? 'Her newfound companion just up and left b
Purity watched as Johnathan threw a wave out the van’s window and drove off. She was nervous about being left in Tener’s care but decided she could fend for herself by turning away from him and heading straight into the kitty café. Small mews from the kittens in a small enclosed sitting area reached her ears, and the smell of baked goods and tea filled her nose. A standing sign greeted her and read, “Find your seat, lift your feet, and get cozy. Our fluffy friends will find their way to you. They are well behaved and will let you enjoy your meal in peace (All cooked breakfast is chef’s choice, baked items are created fresh every morning.).” Purity giggled because at that moment, a large, short-haired tabby rubbed against her legs and meowed loudly, demanding attention. “Awe, aren’t you precious? Come here, big guy,” Purity cooed as she picked up the tabby to cuddle him. “Welcome! Sit anywhere you’d like, and I’ll be with you shortly,” a cheery male voice said from behind a high d
Walking over to the kitchen window, Lasci peeked through the blinds. Only blackness looked back at him with the occasional light display from the storm that stayed in the clouds. He wasn’t worried about Fahla but about how Purity would take the news that the female wolf had left. At dinner, he couldn’t help noticing the easy conversation between them and the laughter coming from Purity. They appeared to be close in such a short amount of time. It was the same with his brothers, too. She could talk comfortably with them and joke about things. So why did he always feel outside her circle, like a stranger sometimes? Purity lay in bed with her eyes closed while the morning light tickled her lashes. She didn’t dream but a tiny bit about Lasci. Recalling it, she could remember the feeling, and the images remained of them both staring across from each other, standing on opposite sides of a small creek. There were urban displays of everyday human life behind Purity, and behind Lasci wa
Pru ran to the balcony and was sure he caught sight of her for only a moment before she disappeared along the dark tree line. Going back inside quickly, he shut the door as quietly as possible, seeing Purity was still asleep. Walking fast, he left the room to run down the stairs and chase after Fahla. But he stopped, suddenly hesitant. Pru knew if the female wolf wanted to stay, she would have. He couldn’t understand why she’d left, but what was even more confusing was how she managed to jump down off the balcony when that was something even he couldn’t do without almost injuring himself. Of course, Lasci had jumped off his own balcony a few times in wolf form, but Lasci was an Alpha, so it was understandable. “Is Fahla a true Alpha female?” Pru wondered to himself. “Are they asleep?” Lasci asked, coming from the great room and looking up the stairs at Pru. Pru nodded, “Well, Purity is, but the female wolf is gone.” “Gone? Gone where?” Pru shook his head, “No clue Lasci.
Everyone had managed to sit down for dinner, but it wasn’t the usually pleasant and funny atmosphere. Libidi still held a grudge against Fahla, and Lasci was unhappy initially. Purity tried smoothing things over, but none of the brothers or Bastian seemed comfortable. Finally, after an argument with Lasci, causing him to get up from the dinner table and leave, Purity lost her appetite and invited Fahla to stay in her bedroom for the night. “Ignore him. He’ll get over it,” Purity said, referring to Lasci and slamming her bedroom door after Fahal made her way in. The female wolf laughed in amusement, “You’re impressive, kid. Every Alpha I’d ever come across wouldn’t just sit there and argue before finally pouting and leaving the room.” Purity laughed nervously, “Yeah, well, I'm sure he’ll make me pay for it later. But I don’t care. He had no right saying that.” Purity plopped on her bed, and Fahla jumped up on the creamy pink sofa across from her and lay down, “He’s right, tho
