Not from a laboratory.
Kai suddenly gathered me into his arms, holding me tightly as he took long strides toward the house. “We are certain, little mate. And you must be careful. If anything happened to you…”
“I know. You’d hunt them down.”
He grinned, which was something my arctic wolf had felt more comfortable doing lately.
The huge man barely got the door open before kicking it for emphasis. Every time he displayed his dominance it made me giggle.
All three believed themselves to be all that and a huge bag of chips. Of course, I wouldn’t tell them that.
Every so often I was reminded of who and what we were. My father kept me informed as to what was happening with the laboratory and the investigation. He still had friends within the judicial department. The board members would go to trial.
As far as Thanatos? He’d never resurfaced, those around him believing he’d left for another part of the world, determined to pick up where he’d left off.
The building itself stood, insurance and the investigation preventing it from being torn down. At least there’d been no odd reports of beasts killing humans or sightings of odd creatures in the night.
Maybe we’d gotten lucky.
I was suddenly on the couch on my knees facing the back.
“What are you doing?” I threw out.
Roman moved to a cabinet and suddenly, he had a belt in his hand. “I found this in the box of clothes Mark left. From what I’ve read online, it’s a very useful implement for a spanking.”
“You wouldn’t dare,” I purred like some kitten.
Which usually drove them crazy.
“Oh, yes, we would, and we will,” Kai said as if no big deal.
I wasn’t certain whether to be anxious or excited, but the combination was making my pussy throb even more than usual.
What these men… these wolves did to me was insane. And kept me wanting more.
Roman was the first to approach, but I could see the look between the three and knew what they were thinking without listening in.
They were deciding who went first.
The devils.
I found out their solution when Roman smacked the leather strap across my bottom not once but twice. The pain was entirely different from anything before, drawing a gasp from me with each strike.
“Mmm… I like this. Firm. Easy to use.” He swung it in the air, grinning the entire time. Then he cracked it across my bottom three more times and I howled in response.
Not as powerful a howl as theirs, but enough to let them know what they were doing hurt like hell.
“You can stop now,” I panted.
“Not yet, our little mate. Your punishment is far from being over.” With a spark in his eye, Apollo grabbed the belt from Roman’s hand, even winking as he moved behind me.
The moment the belt was slapped across my upper thighs, I allowed them to hear my displeasure, but I felt anything but that deep inside.
My mother had once told me that love often came when you least expected it. She’d told me the moment I stopped looking, suddenly I’d find myself smitten by someone and I’d know when the feelings and emotions were real by how my heart fluttered and my stomach rumbled.
I’d felt both and much more since the moment three wild, rugged, and very naked men had captured me in the forest.
They’d awakened my senses and reminded me there was so much more to life than test tubes and research projects.
