Chapter 27

Kimble

The next day, when I went down after taking a bath, having once again woken up to find Talon fucking me, I was shocked to see Jackie sitting in the main hall. She looked like a bulldozer had run her over. “Jackie?” I blurted. “Is everything okay?”

She pursed her lips, shaking her head. “No…” her lips quivered, and tears came out. “Kirk—” She couldn’t even speak properly and broke into sobs.

“What about him?” I asked, picking up her hand and squeezing it in mine. “Please, Jackie, tell me.” An ominous feeling skittered down my spine.

“He’s threatening to leave me,” she said between sobs. “He said that he hates me!”

Dread knotted inside me. Why was Kirk behaving like this? He had never given any indication that he liked me. He was in love with Jackie, so what happened after he marked her? After marking, the mate bond strengthened. So why was Kirk doing the opposite?

“He just stormed out of the house last night, and hasn’t returned. He said—” Her chin wobbled. “He said that if he saw me when he got back, he’d reject me and make sure I was dead.” She turned to me, tears streaking her cheeks. “I’m scared, Kimble. What’s going on? What’s changed in such a short time?”

I was totally clueless. What could I tell her? Kirk had confessed that he wanted to mate me, which was an utterly ridiculous notion. Thinking about it repulsed me. I hugged Jackie tightly, trying to reassure her as best as I could, thankful that she wasn’t blaming me.

I asked Jackie to stay with me for a few days until the problem was sorted. But I decided to speak to Talon about it. After ordering an Omega servant to take Jackie to one of our guest rooms, I asked the chauffeur to take me to Talon’s office.

“You’ll have to wait,” his secretary, a scarlet-nailed brunette wearing a red blouse and black pencil skirt, said to me in a condescending voice. “He’s in an important meeting.”

I shouldn’t have felt jealous, but I did. It was like envy had twisted my insides and burned them. “Go fuck yourself!” I hissed and walked past her.

“Wait!” She came after me, but I stormed into Talon’s office, opening his door like it was my birthright to barge in at will. However, the moment I entered, I saw the room was in darkness for a video presentation. There were at least ten people sitting around the table, and every head turned to look at me as the video stopped. Talon was sitting at the head of the table, his dark eyes settling on me.

“I’m sorry, Alpha,” the secretary whimpered behind me. “She just barged in.”

I felt like turning and slapping her hard across her face for humiliating me, but I sauntered inside the room with my chin up. My gaze locked with Talon’s in the dark, and in a feral, low voice, I said, “Fire her. Now.”

The side of his lip curled up. “Come here, Kim,” he smirked. As soon as I was next to him, he slipped his arm around my waist and pulled me into his lap. He ran a finger down my jawline, and without looking at his secretary said to her, “You’re fired.”

“Wh—what?” she squeaked.

“You heard me,” Talon repeated. “Get out. My wife doesn’t like you.”

She gasped, but she closed the door, and I settled in Talon’s lap as everyone around the table stared at me.

“Continue with the presentation,” Talon said, and the video resumed. Kenzie was showing the council members the details of the Viking Pack’s settlement. Talon leaned over and whispered, “Did you miss me so much, Kimble?”

I rested my back on his chest and whispered back, “No, I’ve come to talk about Jackie.”

His fingers trailed down the inside of my thighs and my core started throbbing as if it had developed a mind of its own whenever he touched me. “I’m not going to talk about Jackie right now,” he replied. “As you can see, there’s a presentation going on.” But his eyes were on me, not the screen. His fingers went higher, higher, until they were pressed right over my clit through the fabric of my thong. “You’re soaked for me, baby,” he breathed.

I caught his wrist to stop him, as if that would actually work. Using his claw, he sliced my thong and pulled it away. Bundling it in his hand, he lifted it to his nose and smelled it.

His cock hardened and burned against my back like a brand. He took the thong and stuffed it in my mouth. I moaned, but he put his hand over my mouth and quietly opened his zipper. “My little slut, aren’t you?” He picked me up and, before I could protest, impaled me on his cock. My gasp was stifled behind my thong and his hand. “I need cock warming, so stay still, baby.” My eyes went to everyone still focused on the video. I was sure they were all listening to us and trying to ignore what we were doing. I blushed crimson, not because they knew what was going on, but because I was enjoying it.

With one finger he rubbed my clit as he stayed balls deep in my vagina. I caught his wrist as he continued to assault my clit. He pinched it and my body nearly jumped off from his lap, but his strong arm kept me locked. My juices flowed out and I was sure they were drowning his cock. His eyes were on the video as he stayed still inside me. His other arm snaked up to my breasts, and I cursed as to why I wasn’t wearing a bra. He cupped my breast and pinched and rolled my nipple, making the liquid heat inside me coil and coil, until I couldn’t bear it anymore.

I bucked my hips back but he squeezed my breast hard to warn me not to move. This exhibitionism was so immoral and inappropriate that it turned me on. Why wasn’t he moving? I whimpered, begging him silently to move. But the bastard loved to torment me. He didn’t move at all.

“I know you want to come,” he whispered, nibbling my ear. “But you come when I order you to come. And, besides, you just cost me a damn good secretary. This is your punishment. You won’t come, and you’ll stay like this.”

Oh Goddess. I was shuddering in his arms, trying to do anything to reach my orgasm. He would strum my clit with his fingers, pinch it, and rub it again. Just as I was about to come, he would remove his fingers.

“What do you think of their settlement, Alpha Talon?” Kenzie asked, pausing the video as if nothing was happening back here. Petrified, I stilled and lowered my head, hoping that no one noticed I was gagged. But our arousal was so thick in the air.

Talon looked at him, his hand pressed against my belly. “The Viking pack is impenetrable. Show me where it’s vulnerable. This video doesn’t indicate a single weak point for me to attack. We’ve lost a lot of warriors to them, but now I want their blood.”

Kenzie nodded and continued the video. As soon as everyone turned back to watch it, Talon started moving inside me. He thrust deep, making me moan. “You make a noise and I’ll stop moving, Kim.” I stifled my moans as he moved again because I desperately wanted to come. He continued to move. My vagina throbbed under his assault. Suddenly, he pinched my labia lips tightly and I shattered all over his cock. He pressed his mouth to my mark, catching my skin in his teeth. I felt a shudder running down his thighs beneath my skin, and then he came inside me, snarling, “Mine. Mine. Mine.”

Fuck. I didn’t know I’d enjoy being so immodest, but here I was—satiated, spent, and resting against his chest. He pulled the thong out of my mouth and gave me some water from the glass on the table. Quietly, he pulled his cock out.

Kenzie’s phone rang, disturbing the presentation. He frowned as he took the call, putting his finger up for quiet. Tension blanketed the room. “What have you got?” he asked the person on the phone. “Uhhmm?” “Are you sure?” “But that’s—” “I see.” “When?” He loosed a breath and then cut the phone. He looked at Talon, his lips curling up. “The Viking pack’s Alpha’s oldest son wants to talk to you. He’s ready to meet you in two days.”

Talon’s eyes widened in surprise as I gawked at him. “Call him.”

“But he wants to meet on neutral ground and will be accompanied by his warriors.”

“I’m ready,” Talon growled. “Call them to meet us in the Black Silver pack.”

“And he wants your word that you won’t attack them.”

Talon became quiet for a few tense moments. Then he said, “He has my word.” He kissed my temple and whispered, “You’re my lucky charm.”
