All Chapters of Betrayed and Bonded: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

“You did what? Why would you even do something like that? I’m surprised she let us touch her after that?” I hissed, pacing in the hall outside of Ezra’s room. “She was absolutely exhausted in there. I thought you liked her,” I continued ranting. “I will admit, I got carried away. She didn’t use her safe word. Is she angry with me?” he asked pensively.“She fucking fell asleep in the bath, Ezra! She couldn’t even stay awake long enough to enjoy being pampered. Man, if she runs off, I will rip both your arms off and shove them up your ass! I might not have had the opportunity to get close to her like you have, but damned if I would be causing her more pain. FUCK! You begged me to fuck her the night her mate kept her writhing in agony, then you turned around and strapped her to the obedience bench. Even Adrian doesn’t get that harsh during sex, and she despises him. Twenty fucking times and with a paddle, not even your hand! You’re an ass, Ezra! I’m taking her to my room until you get y

We both sighed as a moment of silence passed between us. “To me, you are perfect. You have a loving and forgiving heart. That isn’t as common as you would think it is,” Mateo commented. “I thought you just liked me for the sex,” I teased, shifting on his lap, sensing his growing erection.“Oh, well, there is that, my queen. I would be lying if I didn’t say that, in addition to your loving heart, you are quite the giving partner. Once you’ve had time to recover from last night fully, I would like to enjoy that a bit more,” he smirked. “Mateo, you must have forgotten that I am a werewolf and have advanced healing powers. I have recovered fully from last night,” I reminded him. “I know you are physically okay, Vanessa. I meant emotionally. You were so broken last night, and I don’t want to ever be the cause of that again,” he said. “Then take me to bed and show me. I’m not fragile, Mateo, and I trust you not to break me again,” I whispered. He stood with me cradled in his arms and w

During dinner, I noticed just the slightest fissure in the wall that Vanessa thinks is so securely built around her heart. Her comment about me seeking out one of the servants to sate my carnal needs wasn’t unnoticed. Ezra and I are starting to work ourselves into her heart. I can see it. My only wish is that she would let us completely in and stay with us. “Are you ready to go shopping, Little Queen?” I asked as she finished her last bite of cake. “What exactly are we shopping for anyway? Not that I am complaining because I need the walk after that meal,” she sighed, rubbing her stomach.“Anything your heart desires. Ask and you will receive,” I told her, and watched as mischief sparked in her eyes.“What if I want a jewel-embellished bra and a ten-carat diamond ring?” she taunted. “Done. Come on, we'd better get to the mall before it closes. Maybe they’ll have panties to match. Will you wear that and thigh-high leather boots for me when we get home?” I asked, clutching her hand f

In my head, I chuckled when Adrian said he would try for mine and Mateo’s sake. I think he is curious and wants to know more about Vanessa. However, I am not sure he knows how to let go of his perpetual state of menace. Maybe him lending me a hand will be therapeutic for him. It can’t hurt to be hopeful anyway.“See, that didn’t hurt. You did not refer to her as a dog for once,” I teased. “You’ll be doing hearts and flowers in no time,” I taunted when he rolled his eyes at me. “Someone here has to be the bad guy. If I go soft like the two of you, who will do shit like I have been doing to Camille for the last few days?” he questioned. The thought was sobering, and I had to ask. “What did you do to her? Is she still alive? If she is, will she survive?” I questioned. “Don’t ask questions that you don’t want truthful answers to. Camille is still alive, and I am fairly sure she will survive. If she doesn’t, it will not be as a direct result of what I did to her. Do you want to wipe her

“Once the two of you leave for your run, I will head out and see if I can find any acceptable candidates to become servants. I am thinking males may be more suitable than females at this time, or perhaps couples would be a good idea. I know we haven’t done couples in the past because we wanted females who were loyal to our needs before those of their chosen partner. However, neither of us is using females for more than feeding, and Adrian either plays with Stacia or the twins,” Mateo informed me when I discreetly went to tell him that Camille was being released today.“Perhaps not couples, but definitely two of each so that they can entertain one another. I realize that Toma and Colby are close, but they have also served to entertain the twins or Stacia when they aren’t directly serving one of us,” I countered. “I do hope your run this evening brings you and Vanessa close once more. Not that I haven’t enjoyed monopolizing her time, but I can sense she misses you, too,” he said sincer
