  “Okay, well then let"s do this.” She said with resolve. Reggie almost laughed again; it felt a little like he was leading a lamb to the slaughter.

  “Baby, just concentrate on me.” Reggie said and leaned in and kissed her gently on the mouth.

  If there could be fireworks from a first kiss, they would have gone off. When their lips met it was like an electrical current ran through him, and he could not be gentle. Reggie was so used to being the one kissed instead of the one in control, he almost pulled away.

  Almost. Running his tongue along the seal of her lips, he gently coaxed her mouth open to take him. Exploring her mouth in an uncharacteristically dominate way, Reggie pulled her closer and pulled her onto his lap without breaking the kiss.

  For several minutes, he teased and nipped at her mouth, letting her get used to his touch. She was a great kisser, he thought as Ruby curled her arms around his neck and pressed her little body to him. Reggie groaned and lay back on the little bed. Ruby was lying across him, and he savored the feel of her body pressed against his. Thank the Gods that he had found his mate, he thought. All the previous people he had kissed paled in comparison to his mate.

  Reggie rolled gently until Ruby was under him, and he smoothed his hands over her stomach, slowly pushing her t-shirt up, until he felt the under wire of her bra. Breaking the kiss he looked down and smiled at his mate, she was so sexy.

  He pulled her shirt over her head and looked at the lacey, little bra she was wearing.

  “Sexy.” He muttered and then chuckled when she blushed all over. “No need to be shy, little one.”

  Ruby pulled at his shirt until she had it worked up his chest. He allowed her to pull it over his head and smiled at him. “Thank you.” She said and pulled him back down to kiss her.

  Reggie continued his gentle exploration of his little mate"s body as he kissed her.

  Finally, smoothly moving his hand over her breast, Ruby sucked in her breath, and he paused for a minute until she relaxed. He leaned back, looked at her chest, and then sighed before leaning down and taking one of the nipples in his mouth through her bra.

  She gasped at the foreign feeling and arched her back up unconsciously.

  Moving from one side to the other, he coaxed and played with her nipples until they were straining against the fabric. Reaching behind her, he fumbled with the clasp for a minute before she chuckled a little.

  “Out of practice?” She said.

  “No practice more like it. I never understood why they created this torture device.” Reggie muttered and smiled when she swept the offending material away. He bent and licked her nipple and said, “I like this a lot better, in the future I think you should go without a bra.”

  Ruby chuckled and smoothed her hands over his shoulders and down his back. Her little hands felt like satin against his skin. She was amazing; he thought and continued feasting on her breasts. He could smell her arousal and growled a little. He pulled her nipple into his mouth and rolled it against the roof of his mouth. She squirmed a little more and pulled his head closer.

  Slowly, he kissed his way down her stomach, unbuttoned her jeans, and quickly pulled them away. He left her panties on and smiled when he realized they were the same as her bra, lacy and pretty. Oh, he was going to love dressing up his little doll!

  While Reggie took a few moments to look at her, Ruby must have gotten nervous because she began to squirm a little.

  “Just relax.” He said and pulled her until her legs hung over the side of the bed, and he was centered between them.

  He caressed her legs from thigh to calf, first the outer and then the inner. She shivered in response, and Reggie smiled again. This had to be the first time he had had so much fun when having sex. She was so responsive and cute. Leaning down he sniffed her mound. She smelled intoxicating.

  “Baby, I am gonna love eating you.” He said and ran his tongue over her pussy through her panties.

  Ruby whimpered and twisted a little. “Please.” She whispered, and Reggie smiled against her.

  “Don"t worry, baby, I will take care of you.” He said and pulled her panties slowly away from her body and threw them across the room. “Look at you, such a pretty pussy.” He said and lowered his head.

  Ruby cried out when she felt his lips kiss her folds, and then he ran the tip of his tongue over her. She was already so wet. Growling, he grabbed her legs and pulled them over his shoulders, so he had better access. He licked her aggressively, pushing his tongue through her folds until he found her clit. He sucked the little nub into his mouth and had to grab Ruby"s hips as she twisted with the new sensation.

  Holding her with one hand, he continued to toy with her clit, and then she felt a finger slide into her first. Moving it slowly in and out, she could feel a sensation beginning to build. Then he added a second finger, and she began to rock her hips with him. What a wonderful feeling.

  “Oh my Gods, what the hell are you doing to me?” She cried.

  Reg laughed against her mound and continued to taste her. She was wonderful, and he was going to quickly become addicted to his little mate. Licking and nipping at her folds, he drove her crazy. Ruby pulled a pillow from the bed, put it over her head, and yelled into it when she exploded.

  He kissed her clit one last time before gently standing and quickly pulling the rest of his clothes off. Ruby just laid there panting with a pillow over her head. Reg laughed at what she looked like and slowly crawled over her and pulled the pillow up by a corner.

  She had her eyes closed and was smiling.

  Ruby peaked through a slit in one eye and smiled at the man who had rocked her world.

  “Wow, never knew it would be like that.”

  “Oh, baby, we are not done yet. It"s only just the beginning.” He whispered into her ear and then ran his tongue around the edge before sucking in her lobe.

  Ruby felt the heat began to rise again and wiggled a little. That was when she realized the man was naked. She had seen naked men before, when they shifted, but she had been too embarrassed to really look closely. This time, he was all hers and she was going to look and explore. She pushed at his shoulder and rolled him, so he was lying on his back, and she looked down and saw one of the largest penises she had ever seen.

  Even with her inexperience, she knew he was hung more than most men. She smiled and reached out and grasped it. Her fingers barely touched around the shaft. Moving her hands up and down, she chuckled when she heard him groan a little.

  A small bead of pre-cum leaked out of the slit, she leaned in and swiped it with her tongue. It tasted salty and rich, and she was surprised that she actually liked the taste.

  “Baby, I can"t hold on for that long, we have to move it along.” Reggie moaned and rolled her back underneath him, so he settled between her legs. “I will go slowly.” She nodded and closed her eyes for a minute, this was going to happen, and she was finally going to be claimed by her mate. She felt a little tinge of sadness that Levi was not here, but she quickly forgot it when Reggie sucked her nipple into his mouth again.

  Her juices began to pool and leak out of her.

  He pushed up a little until his cock was placed at her entrance; she tensed a little but relaxed when Reggie began to kiss her, distracting her. Slowly, she relaxed and opened her eyes and whispered, “Please.”

  “Hang on, baby.” He whispered back. He pushed inside her a little, and she gasped at the feeling of something so large in her channel. He stopped and waited for her, teasing and sucking at her breasts, making her wet again.

  It seemed to take a long time for him to push into her until he reached her barrier. She stiffened when she felt him push against the last evidence of her virginity. She looked at him with lust and trust. Reggie felt like he was the strongest wolf in the world when she looked at him like this. She nodded, and he pushed quickly inside of her.

  Ruby gasped at the slight feeling of pain and fullness and then smiled and nodded to her mate. Reggie leaned in and kissed her a
gain, then slowly began to move his body.

  Pulling out and pushing in, he shifted enough so he was brushing against her clit with every pass. She was once again writhing beneath him and this time without the pillow, she was yelling encouragements to him to continue.

  “Feels so good.” She cried and arched her back.

  Reggie leaned over and licked her neck right at the curve of her shoulder. He waited until he could feel her passion building, and then he sank his teeth into her at the same time, bringing her to an earth-shattering climax. With two strokes, he followed her over the edge.

  He collapsed on her, buried his head in her neck, and sighed. He could get used to this.

  He could feel the mating bond strengthen, but he could feel something else. He did not have time to figure out what though, because they had to get out of here.

  Shit, they could not communicate. He could feel they bonded but he could not hear her.

  “Ruby, can you hear me in your head?” He asked out loud.

  She concentrated for a minute and then shook her head. “We must have to claim all our mates to do that.” She whispered.

  “It"s okay. How do you feel?” He whispered and kissed her neck gently before pulling back and smiling at her. Ruby savored the feeling of mating and then said, “If I would die right now, I would be the happiest person in the world.” Reggie laughed and sat up. “As much as I would like to continue this, we have a little matter of breaking out of this joint. In the bathroom, there is a window. I think we can fit through it. I want you to go in the bathroom like you are going to take a bath. Turn on the water and let it run for a while. Then yell for me to come and help you, say you can"t get the water to stay hot or something. It should buy us enough time to get out of the window and get away before they realize what happened.” Ruby nodded and listened as she pulled on her clothes. So much for the afterglow, she thought and listened as her mate outlined the plan for escape. She hoped it would work but did not linger too long on that thought, or she would chicken out. She wanted to be strong, show her mate she was worthy of him, and show Levi she did not need him.

  After Reggie had taken her so gently and tenderly, she would not dishonor him in anyway. Levi could go to hell, she was sick of being the little girl who sat in the corner and did everything she was told. She was a woman now; she did not have to beg anyone for anything.

  Reggie pulled on his clothes and then paused and pulled his little mate into his arms. “I wish we had more time. I would love to just hold you and kiss you the rest of the day.

  Soon, we will do just that.”

  She leaned into him and let him make her feel safe and secure for a few moments. Then she pulled back, looked up at him, and smiled. “Let do this.” He nodded and took her hand pulling her behind him as he opened the door.

  Chapter 3

  Levi returned to Pack headquarters to see if there had been any word on his mates.

  Casey, Reggie"s twin had been sympathetic and nice to him, even when she knew he had denied his mate for months. The guilt he felt from this had been weighing on him since his mates had been kidnapped. Where the hell were they? The Pack had combed the entire city at least twice and so far nothing.

  Levi walked into the Enforcers office and saw one of the new Betas of the Denver Pack standing over a map of the city. They had little push pins in the map marking where there had been activity from the Rogues, and places they had already searched.

  “Anything?” He asked.

  “Not yet, but there has been increased activity in the downtown area. I am thinking we need to up the patrols there, for the time being, and see if we can draw someone out. If we could capture one of those bastards, then we may be able to shake something from them.” Gregg said and looked up at him with sympathy in his eyes.

  Levi didn"t think he could stand that look much longer. Everyone looked at him like he was going to freak out any minute. He growled and paced over to the desk he had been using. This just sucked; he thought and threw himself into the chair.

  “We will find them.” Gregg said and sat on the edge of the desk. “Quin and Jaden have called a phone conference in a few minutes. Something is up.”

  “About Ruby and Reggie?” He asked hopefully.

  “No clue.” Gregg said and looked at the door that was filled with one of their Enforcers.

  “Let"s go.” He said gruffly, and looked at Levi and nodded.

  They all stood and followed the mountainous man through the hallway into another office. Before all of this began, they had four buildings in the Pack. One for offices, it had businesses that Pack members developed, and three for housing. Each family had their own spacious apartment. Quin had been very generous to his Pack members. He helped them start businesses and set up themselves in the area.

  A few months ago when it was discovered that Quin would be the Alpha of the New Council Pack, they decided the New Council Pack would also be moved to Denver. This would increase their Pack by hundreds. Quin and Jaden had already owned a chunk of property around their buildings. They had been condemned apartments, blocks of them. Levi had been surprised when he found out just how much property they owned.

  When all was said and done there would be ten blocks of Pack buildings. Construction on the New Council building had already started, as had at least one new apartment building. That was all going to change. Levi half listened last night when Gregg explained what the new plan was. All he knew was that he was not leaving Denver until he found his mates. No one was going to take him away.

  They all looked forward to when the buildings were completed so they could tighten their security. Right now, there were too many blind spots for them to cover everything.

  The Rogues knew this; they were exploiting every weakness that they found. So far, this week alone they had four different breaches in their security. No one knew what the hell they were going for though, none of it made any sense. They had not tried to get to the Alpha, or the Beta. No, they were trying to get to the basement of the main office building. The only thing there was holding cells they used when they actually caught someone.

  The older Council members had their own holding cells in Europe. Apparently, someone thought since the New Council was going to be here that they had transferred the prisoners here. When the Council changed hands, all of their resources changed to the New Council. Quin asked for it all to be put on hold until they found all the rest of the Chosen. So far, since they only had four out of the thirteen, if Reggie were here they would have five. Quin did not want to muddy the waters and begin transferring things yet.

  Levi looked around the room he just entered and sighed, on the wall there was a huge computer screen. They installed the new teleconference equipment a few weeks ago.

  Quin and Jaden were seated at the head of the table. Tey and Jo, another mated couple, were on their right, and on their left, was, Casey, and Sid. And two new people sat at the table. He assumed it was Cloe and Teagan, Darien"s mates, since Darien was not there.

  Levi shuffled his feet. He felt like he was out of place, he was mated to a Chosen, but his mates were not here. So the question was what was his standing, he will eventually be a mated member of the Council. So, should he step in front of his Beta or stand back with the rest of the Enforcers?

  Sensing his confusion, Jo spoke up, and smiled. “You belong with us. You know none of us thinks you are responsible. We know you are trying to find them. Give yourself a break.”

  Jo was the White Wolf of the Pack. She was given the gift of being able to feel all the wolves in the Pack. She can feel emotions; over the last few weeks, she has only been able to feel Ruby a few times. Jo thought that they were drugging her because she could not get a clear feeling. That did not ease his frustration.

  Levi looked at the people sitting around the table and stepped forward to take the call.

  He was surprised when he saw the pride in Quin's eyes.

  “Now that we are all here.” Jaden drawled and smiled a
little at Levi. “We have some more information. A member of the Pack up here has some information. Devon, Darien, and a man named Blaine are on their way right now. They should be there in the next hour. You need to get together three more Enforcers and be ready to go when they get there. They know where Reggie and Ruby are being held.”

  “What? Where? Just tell us, we can go there now!” Levi yelled.

  “No, you have to wait for the rest of the guys. They know the specifics. Levi, you need to keep your head, or you will be ordered to sit this out.” Quin said.

  Levi took a deep breath and nodded. “Okay, but I get first shot at the Tarkens.” Quin laughed and nodded. “We are getting things ready here. You will bring them directly here once they have been rescued.”

  Gregg stepped forward and began talking about who to send and who to keep at the Pack house. Levi tuned out, only thinking that finally he was going to find his mates again. Once he had them, he was never going to let them go. He would make Ruby understand why he waited, and he would make Reggie understand that he did not know that he was his mate. Everything was so confusing. Right now, he needed a drink in the worst way. But he refused to take even a sip, in case he was an alcoholic like his parents.

  The genes for that ran in the family, and he was going to be damned if he followed in their footsteps.

  They had been at it for about an hour when Jo screamed loudly. “Scared.” Levi jumped up and looked around; making sure nothing had come into the room while he had been focusing. When he saw no signs of trouble, he turned back to where Jo was curled up on the floor in the room on the wall, with Tey kneeling over her trying to calm her down.

  Casey got down on the floor with her friend and tried to console her. This was the worst thing about Jo"s gift, when someone in the Pack had a strong emotion; it took her off guard most times. It sometimes took awhile for her to get hold of her feelings.
