Stevr (The Mating Games Book 5) Read online

  “Hmm, sounds like you’re trying to get a free pass.”

  Stevr pulled her into his arms. Damn him, she just melted like snow in July. His warmth filled her as his delicious scent filled her nose. “You’ll think this is odd, but I swear my sense of smell just got stronger.”

  “It’s entirely possible that you’ll go through some changes. This is amazingly fast though. Usually some of your senses will improve over a period of weeks not hours. Some of my brother’s mates are just starting to see signs of it. Lista of course got traits faster because she got pregnant right away. It still wasn’t the first day.”

  “That’s just like me to pick things up faster than anyone else.”

  “Would you let me snap a quick picture of your tattoo? They’ll want to see it before they consider approving our mating.”

  “Okay. What happens if they deny it?”

  “The more I think about it, the more I think they’ll approve it. We have the sign that the gods have blessed our bond. That’s what the tattoos indicate.”

  “Okay, Take your picture and I’m going to let you deal with your people about the mating.”

  “Our people.”

  “That remains to be seen.”

  “Fair enough, but I will deal with it, Geena. I promise.”

  “Okay. Now has anything been going on with the group that has been causing trouble?”

  “Things have been quiet. We’ve locked everything down and if anyone causes damage to the ship, they’ll be stuck on it with the rest of us.”

  “That would discourage most. Have you searched the ship?”

  “Yes, Mate. We have searched for everything that our tech can locate. If they are any other bombs or dangerous items on board, they are undetectable.”

  “I’m surprised they haven’t sent pirates after you.”

  “That may be next. They will have a surprise if they do.” His smile was wicked. “Now if there’s nothing else you want to know?” His mouth dropped to hers and he devoured her.

  Geena sank into the kiss letting everything else go for now. Maybe she was being easy but her life on Earth had been rough. Men there used women like her then threw them away. Stevr might have some rough edges but he was a good male, she could sense it. He began to remove her shirt then her bra. His lips found her nipple tugging on it hard. Her back arched as pleasure rolled over her. It was so easy to lose herself in this male.

  She heard a noise, Stevr’s head moved up indicating he had heard it too. A string of cuss words rolled from his mouth. “I’m sorry, Geena. It’s my com and I have to take it.”

  It was a lot like having ice water dumped on you. One minute you are burning up the next you’re shivering. She was a professional and she knew since he was in charge this would happen often. “It’s okay. Get it taken care of.” The implied part was then get your ass back here and she expected him to. Stevr moved off the bed heading out of the room. There was no way to know when he’d make it back. She rolled over and pulled out her pillow. A nap was in order and maybe he’d be back when she woke.

  Chapter 9

  My Mate

  Stevr felt frustrated as hell but he had to take the call. Razar had sent him a message to be in his office in fifteen minutes. He wasn’t sure if his dad would be on this time or not but he tried to be prepared for anything. It was funny that he’d thought the trip would be boring when he’d been busy the whole time. There hadn’t even been time to meet Lista’s mom and her two little brothers which made him seem rude. Maybe she wouldn’t hold it against him.

  The light on the console flashed so he turned it on. The screen flashed to life with Razar in the middle of it. “Brother.” He greeted him.

  “Razar. Any news for me?”

  “I need to see both tattoos. The priests want them before they make a judgment.”

  “Okay.” He uploaded and sent them. “You should get them soon.”

  “I’m no expert, but from the look of these you two are a match.” Razar smiled for the first time. “Perhaps this won’t be so bad.”

  “Let me see those.” A voice growled in the background. He’d recognize his father anywhere. “Thank the gods.” Relief was evident in his words and in his tone.

  Razar was moved out of the way and his father was now in the screen. “You have always been closer to your beast, Stevr. Thank the gods he’s a smart beast. I’m going to give you tentative approval only conditional on her not being a hidden enemy. You don’t have to hide your mating any longer. Tylar will be pleased that he can go sooner.”

  “Thank you.”

  “I’m just glad she was your one. That was something I didn’t want to have to deal with.”

  Stevr was glad too. His dad was in a bad spot as their leader when it came to dealing with family. Their people had been supportive but his dad was fair. Any sign of favoritism to anyone could cause unrest and trouble among their kind.

  They talked a few more minutes but he suspected they didn’t want to keep him from his mate. As soon as they hung up he was out the door and moving to hers. Knocking three times, he opened the door letting himself in. His mate lay in bed asleep but dressed. Stevr sat down on the edge of the bed leaning over and kissing her sweetly.

  “Stevr? What time is it?”

  “I wasn’t gone long, Sweetheart. Everything is good now. Why don’t you get naked for me?” He stood stripping while she started to undress. Once he was done he helped her. “You are gorgeous, Geena.”

  Reaching out he pinched her nipple causing her to moan. His mouth dropped to the other one and he tugged hard on it. Sliding his hand down her stomach, he continued to her folds. Wet heat surrounded his digit as he finger fucked her. Stevr added another finger but continued to pound her until he sensed she was close. As he pulled his fingers free, she moaned in protest. He rolled on top of her sliding his cock to her entrance. She arched up and wrapped her legs around his hips.

  Impaling her on his staff he groaned at the delightful feel of his mate squeezing him. “So tight and hot, Baby!” He groaned as he pulled back and slammed in. Stevr began pounding into his mate hard and fast.

  “Oh, God, I’m close!” Geena screamed.

  “Yes, Baby. Just cum all over me.” He growled into her ear. A tingle ran down his back alerting him to the explosion about to take place.

  Geena yelled his name as her body clenched around him. Waves of bliss came off her pushing him along with her. He froze for a second before his body blew like a volcano sending white ropes of hot cum inside her. Pumping her full until there was nothing left, Stevr finally rolled off pulling her with him. Laying there with his mate on his chest, everything was right with his world. “You’re amazing, my mate.” He whispered.

  “You too, Stevr.” Moments later she was asleep. He watched her for a few minutes more before he drifted off as well. His dreams would be nothing but good as long as he had her close.

  Epilogue

  Finally the ship had pulled into the space station that orbited above Oison. Shuttles began running the passengers down a few hundred at a time while barges dealt with the cargo at the same time. When they were finally down to the last shuttle, Stevr escorted Geena to the loading area where Careena, Lista’s mom stood waiting for them with Darion and Jarion, the twins. Careena could have passed as Lista’s sister, the resemblance was so strong and she looked just a few years older.

  “I’m honored to meet you, Careena. I am Stevr and this is my mate, Geena.”

  “Thank you for bringing me to my daughters. I didn’t realize you were mated.”

  “We are newly mated.” Geena explained.

  “That’s wonderful. Congratulations and may you have nothing but happiness.” Careena smiled, it was sweet and genuine.

  “Ladies, why don’t I escort you onto the shuttle now that everyone else has boarded?” Stevr offered. To make things easier they would be last on and first off. He moved to the loading ram and held the door as Careena herded the two small boys ahead of her. Geena fo
llowed and he brought up the rear.

  They were seated near the door as the shuttle took off as soon as the door was sealed. Thirty minutes later they were exiting to a hover car. Stevr drove them to his parent’s house where a welcome party for Careena and the boys was planned. While Lista came and dragged her mother away, someone took the boys to a playroom, and Stevr and Geena sat at the edge of the party letting people come to them.

  “One of your brothers seems to be missing and one seems to be fascinated with Careena.” Geena observed.

  Stevr noticed right after Geena commented Tylar rushed out of the house. “Perhaps you were mistaken about Tylar’s interest?” Geena raised a brow at him. Okay, Tylar was acting strange. “I don’t see Jorgr. Maybe he is at work.”

  His parents made their way over to meet his mate and his mother hugged her. All the brothers except Tylar and Jorgr came to meet her too. Razar and Lista came over last as her mother went to watch the twins play. Stevr got Razar alone so they could talk.

  “Where is Jorgr?”

  “I took your advice. He’s the smallest one of us at less than six foot five. We’ve managed to get him hired at Drugs R Us as a personal assistant to a manager in their headquarters.”

  “Isn’t that dangerous?”

  “I don’t think he’ll hurt anyone unless they attack him. This is the only way we’ll figure things out.”

  “I meant dangerous for him but I get your point. Jorgr can protect himself if needed.”

  “The plan is for him to get in and out as quickly as possible. Once we confirm who our enemy is, we will deal with them.”

  The conversation ended and the party broke up. Stevr would take his bride to the house he had begun to build secretly months ago. It wasn’t complete, but she would help him finish it so it would be theirs and not just his. He pulled his mate into his arms and kissed her thanking his gods he had claimed her instead of waiting. Nothing would ever separate them again and he had a mate that was a partner, his equal in anything they might decide to do. His concerns now would be for his other five brothers who had yet to find and claim their mates. May the gods be as merciful to them as they had been to him.

  Tylar

  His heart almost jumped out of his chest when he met Lista’s mother Careena. Dear gods she looked more like a slightly older sister especially with two tots barely out of diapers hanging on to her with big eyes full of awe as they stared around. Tylar’s mouth was dry as a feeling came over him he’d never felt before. It struck him right in the heart, he needed to get away before he did something foolish.

  Careena tried hard to keep up with her two little imps but she was still recovering from her fight with a rare cancer. The surgery had gone well but she still didn’t feel up to speed. Her eyes were caught and held by a young man who made her forget for just a moment that she was a mother and just made her feel female. One of the boys tugged on her hand and she looked down for just a second before she looked back up. The male was nowhere to be seen. It was probably for the best that he had run away. Had he stayed she might have forgotten herself for a moment.

  He found his fated one only to lose her. It sounded like a bad joke but it had really happened to him. Even with all his magical abilities, he’d had no luck finding the woman that had captivated him.

  She’d woke up after the hottest night of sex she could imagine, all alone. Embarrassed that she’d behaved so impulsively, she ran and just kept running.

  When these two get together, the passion ignites. Unfortunately someone out for revenge wants them both to burn, literally.

  Frozen Origin

  Book 1

  Zeus

  He is the leader of the gods, no not the Greek gods of ancient times that they are named for, but the god line of genetically manipulated beings said to be so much more than men. They’ve been imprisoned by Origin, the company that created them, all their lives, but now they have a chance to be free.

  She leads the team that has come to free them. She and her team always come in first and leave first on every mission, which is a good thing because she is drawn to the gorgeous god. She needs to leave to get on with her life and the career she loves.

  She doesn’t want to settle down, he is unwilling to settle for anything less. When they are thrown together fighting Origin and secrets are revealed, will it bring them closer together or place insurmountable obstacles in their path?

  Note: graphic sex and is for adult readers only.

  Lucille

  White Wolf Matriarchs

  Book 3

  Lucille has seen Grey several times when she visited and lately when she worked at her cousin’s, Cassie’s, house where wounded veterans of the supernatural persuasion stayed while they were rehabilitated. She had to admit the man/wolf grabbed her attention and he stared at her so intently with those soulful eyes of his. He was just too young and too wolf for the two of them to ever make it.

  Grey was sure she was his fated mate but she always ran away from him. She wasn’t running now but the problem was they were both caught and in a cage. How had things gone so wrong? She would be sold to be mated or a sex slave to an alpha while he was bound for the illegal fights so well hidden that even while he and his team investigated the illegal slave ring, they’d had no idea this was going on. He’d finally gotten Lucille’s attention just in time to fail her completely.

  Look for it in 2016.

  The Red Wolf Series 2

  Stanley

  Things had changed a great deal for all of them. Stanley was considering a big step that could cost him his life or elevate his position but either way, he would no longer be Reese’s right hand wolf. Rachel wasn’t worried, she knew Stan would win the day if he decided to take on the fight. What worried her was that he’d asked her to go with him and she wasn’t sure she could stay around wolves for the rest of her life.

  He felt something for her no matter how much he tried to deny it. Her magic upset his wolf but even that wasn’t enough to stop him from wanting to keep her. He’d made some hard decisions and now it was time for her to make one. She would continue her life in one of two ways, with him or without him and that decision would be final.

  Look for it later in 2016
