Cupids Bakers Dozen Read online

  A ball gag dangled in front of her, and she stiffened.

  “Easy, love, this is for your own good. We’re in your office, and we don’t need everyone hearing your screams of love when you go over.” Ryan leaned down and nipped her shoulder. “And you will go over. Let’s get you ready for me.” For five minutes, Ryan worked at preparing her ass. With a gel-covered condom on, Ryan worked his thick cock into her. Now, she hated to admit it, Ria was glad the gag was in place.

  Drool rolled down her neck, her nails dug into Diego’s shoulders, and both men, trust in and out of her—Ryan in her ass and her doctor in her pussy. The gag sucked, but even right now, it didn’t matter because her body shook, sweat covered her as both men loved her, whispering to her.

  It had been three years ago that day, Ria had realized as Ryan had attached the ball gag to her head. That is why they had planned this moment.

  They had known she would be at home crying, but now, stars danced around her and her heart was full. “Come, Ria, now!” Diego ordered.

  Never had she believed in all those romance books she had read that three words would send her over, but she had been wrong again. “God!” she mumbled into the gag, now glad the good doctor had thought to bring it, even though her office now smelled like sex, she didn’t give a shit.

  Both men tightened and groaned, coming with her. One, two thrusts and she fell forward.

  Behind her, Ryan rubbed her shoulders, pulling out of her slowly. “Stay put; I’ll get a wet rag,” he said, placing a kiss on her shoulder.

  As she rested against Diego’s chest, Ria realized it was the first Valentine’s Day gift she had ever gotten in her life. Not even her ex had given her a damn thing. But these two had given her their love and claimed something deep inside.

  A flicker of something to her right side caught her attention, and Ria swore a man stood there. She lifted her head, but the shadow was gone.

  “What; are you okay?” Diego asked.

  “I’m fine, just thought I saw something. Thank you for giving me a chance.”

  “Sweetie, we’ve been planning this for a while. We were not going to give up. Now, tell me what’s going on here,” he asked.

  Ryan came back in and started to clean her when Diego pulled out of her.

  Her two men listened to everything she said, cleaning, touching and keeping her close as she once more explained what happened earlier.

  “One down, eleven more to go,” Eros said, checking off Ria’s name. “I should get double the effort for that one,” he muttered and vanished from the room, heading toward the next assignment—Sadie.

  Sadie French’s Story

  Sadie slammed the front door to her two-bedroom apartment, sliding down the door, releasing the tears that she had been holding back.

  “Why can’t I find one man for me?” She rested her head on her knees as Sadie pulled up her legs to her stomach. It seemed her sister now had a new man in her life, Dash.

  She should be happy for her sister, but Sadie also wished it was her having him touching her.

  Three years and nothing. Sadie knew she was too picky. At one time, she had believed Dash might have been the one that had sent her the gifts, but now, she didn’t know who it was, or if Sadie should be scared or not.

  That’s when she looked up and saw the package on the stand in the hallway, wrapped in a red satin bow.

  She jumped up and carefully moved forward, studying it. “How did it get in here,” she asked just as her phone rang, the ring tone indicating her mom.

  “Mom, I’m kind of busy here,” she said, frowning.

  “I just wanted to let you know I stopped by earlier. Jasper pulled up at the same time I did. That package is from him. Are you dating, Jasper? He is a handsome man for a biker guy, and his job is solid.” Her mother kept going on while her heart was racing.

  Jasper Kent, one of the richest men in Ohio. “Mom, I’ll talk to you later.” She disconnected the phone, knowing her mother would keep going on and on.

  Her worries now different than before. Like, how a man like Jasper, sex god of bikers and had money, could even look at her.

  She looked down at herself and shook her head. At five feet three and one hundred sixty pounds, Sadie was not a Barbie doll.

  Someone knocked on the door, making her jump, spinning around. She took a deep breath and wiped her eyes before opening the door, but the man leaning against her doorway was what Sadie was expecting.

  “What’s wrong? Did someone hurt you?” He asked, looking behind her, before stepping up close to her. “Why the tears, pretty lady?”

  He reached out and cupped her cheek. “You should be smiling. I never want to see tears in your eyes.”

  “You sent me all those gifts? Why?” Sadie asked.

  “Because when a man finds the woman who makes his heart ache, where he can’t concentrate on anything except for her, and the need to be with her is so strong that he drives over here in the middle night just to make sure she’s home and safe, he knows it’s serious. That is the time to start courting the beauty that has stolen his heart.” He glanced behind her. “I see you haven’t opened my gift; good. I wanted to be here when you opened it.”

  He wrapped his arms around her and lifted her, carrying her inside, shutting the door with his boot.

  “What are you doing? You can’t carry me.” She tried to get out of his arms, but he held tight.

  “Who says?”

  “I do; you could get hurt lifting me,” she mumbled.

  He shook his head and placed her down in front of the stand.

  “But we’ve only spoken a few times and that was when I was working. This can’t be right. You should be with someone pretty, who has more going for her.” Sadie looked around her small place.

  It was hers; it might not be in the safest area, but she paid for it out of her own money.

  Once more, Jasper put his hands on her hips and jerked her into his body. “If I hear you degrading yourself again, I will spank that cute ass of yours.” He shook her, really pissed. “Do you understand me?” he growled and she nodded.

  “Good.” He reached over, grabbing the box and pulling her into the living room. “Sit,” he nodded to her couch and took a seat on the coffee table in front of her.

  “Now, open your gift, and then, we’ll discuss what is next.” He leaned forward and placed a quick kiss on her lips. “Because I have plans for you tonight.” He placed the box in her lap. “Do you have the other gifts I sent?” he asked and she nodded.

  “Where?”

  She pointed to the box on the dining room table. “I kept everything together, well, except for one thing,” she looked down, staring at the box.

  “Did you wear the teddy I sent you, Sadie?” he asked.

  She nodded and started opening the box in her lap. “I’ve never had anything so pretty,” Sadie said, laying the bow next to her. “But I didn’t understand the other gifts.”

  “You will very soon,” he said and watched as Sadie lifted the box lid and frowned.

  “I don’t understand,” She took out a key attached to a little tag, but there was nothing written on it.

  “Get an overnight bag packed; we’ll be gone for the weekend. Sadie, bring the teddy,” Jasper told her and moved to the dining room table.

  She raced up the stairs, calling her mom, getting the answering machine. “Hey, Mom, I won’t be home this weekend, spending time with Jasper. I’ll call you later.”

  There was one thing Sadie knew and that was she could trust this man. Her boss was one of his best friends. She stopped packing and frowned.

  What would her boss think? Would she get fired? Sadie had worked hard to get into the little marketing firm, especially since she didn’t have the degree like many that had applied for the position she had gotten.

  She sat down on the bed, fingering the silk teddy he had given her. “Why is it I always find a problem with the men I like?”

  “Wha
t problem?” Jasper asked, coming into the room and kneeling down in front of her.

  “Your best friend is my boss. Do you know how hard I worked for that position? I love that job, Jasper.”

  He reached into his back pocket and took out his phone, pushing a few buttons. Jasper laughed at something the person said on the phone.

  “Listen, dick head, I’m with one of your employee’s here Sadie, and I wanted to know if you are going to have a problem with it?” Jasper asked her boss as she sat there stunned.

  Jasper smiled and handed her the phone. “He would like to speak with you.”

  “But...” She put the phone to her ear. “Sir?” Sadie asked.

  “Relax, Sadie, Jasper is a big guy. If you want to see this dick head, who am I to stop you. But you better not even think of leaving us if things get serious for you two. You are too good to lose,” her boss said.

  “Really? You won’t be mad, and you like my work?” she squeaked.

  “Shit, I see I haven’t shown you how much your work pleases me. Looks like it’s time for a raise. We’ll speak on Monday, but in the meantime, put my friend on; I have a few things to tell him.” her boss said, and she squirmed on her bed.

  She was getting a raise and he liked her work, maybe Sadie could get out of this place. But she wouldn’t get her hopes up.

  While Jasper finished talking to his friend, Sadie worked on her suitcase, not knowing what she needed, she packed the essentials—black dress, teddy, jeans, shoes and her newest set of undergarments.

  But when she went to put them into the suitcase, Jasper took the thong and bra from her, looking at them. “Nice,” he mouthed. He covered the phone. “But you won’t need them.”

  She frowned and shoved them in anyway, grabbing a robe, but he yanked it out of her hand as he disconnected the phone. “Again, you won’t need this. What you have is enough. I even have a spare toothbrush and other things for you.” He closed her beg and wrapped his arm around her, guiding her out of her room.

  “Do I need to bring a coat?” she asked, but he was shaking his head.

  “Nope, I have my limo outside waiting for us.” He smiled, opening her front door.

  “Limo?” she looked at the huge thing in front of her apartment building. “Wow, I’ve never been in one,” she whispered as the driver got out of the car and opened the door for them.

  She looked back to see Jasper locking up her place and carrying her purse, with her suitcase, which Sadie had forgotten.

  “Sorry,” she mumbled, feeling the heat in her cheeks.

  “Stop it. I know you are confused and you are not thinking right now, but I promise, when we get where we are going, you will love it.”

  Sadie nodded and slid into the limo, Jasper following her, setting her suitcase and purse on the other seat in front of them.

  “Can I ask you something?” Sadie asked.

  “You can ask me anything you want, Sadie. I will not keep anything from you,” Jasper leaned over and scooped her up, placing her onto his lap.

  “You’re a take-charge kind of guy, aren’t you?” She laughed.

  “Of course. I go for what I want. I’ve been planning this weekend for a while, but I have to admit it took longer than I anticipated,” he sighed. “I wouldn’t stop ‘til I got what I wanted. It had to be perfect for you.”

  “For me? What did you do?” she asked, staring at the man. He had dark black hair, a black mustache and dark-blue eyes. His ears were pierced, and the one time she’d seen him without a shirt on, his nipples had been pierced. She wondered what else was, too.

  “What are you thinking about? Your cheeks are turning a nice shade of pink.”

  “I think I’ll keep that little bit to myself,” she laughed.

  “You were thinking what else was pierced,” he told her.

  “What? How?” she asked. “You can read my mind?”

  “Yes, I’m different, Sadie. My family is not totally human. When I say I was attracted to you, it’s an understatement.” He frowned. “But it is weird. When I was in your office, it was by mistake. I was looking for Brent, but something drew me to your office. As soon as I stepped in it, I swear someone pinched me or something. Maybe it was Cupid; I heard he’s been assigned a tough assignment.” he grumbled and rubbed his arm.

  She covered his mouth. “You lost me at you’re different. How? Vampire, shifter,” she smiled and leaned close to his ear. “I know you can’t be a fairy, you’re not a blond and not small. Now, a dragon shifter would be so hot,” Sadie said and wiggled her eyebrows.

  He slapped her ass and growled. “There will be no flirting with dragons. I’m a wolf, and when we find our mates, we can usually read the other.”

  “You’re kidding, right?” she asked, but already, he was shaking his head. Oh, she knew there were other species out there, but as far as Sadie knew, she had never met one.

  “Really?” she asked.

  He nodded. “Brent is one of my pack. Half of the people that you work with are in my pack.” His hand slipped under her shirt and rested his hand on the middle of her back. “They know you are my mate. I’ve already informed the pack I was not to be disturbed this weekend.”

  “Every time I ask a question and get the answer, there are ten more questions running through my mind,” she said and jumped off his lap, looking around the limo. “Who the hell pinched me?” She rubbed her backside and glared at him.

  Jasper growled. “Eros, stay away from my damn female. I get she’s my mate, but I don’t need any more help,” Jasper growled.

  “Not from what I’ve been told,” a sexy man appeared at the opposite end of the seat, staring at them.

  Not someone stupid, Sadie inched closer to Jasper, because it was obvious he knew the man or whatever he was.

  Lifting her back into his arms, Jasper frowned. “What are you talking about?” he asked him while rubbing his hand on her back. “Relax, he’s not going to hurt you.” Jasper kissed the top of her head.

  “This is what I’m talking about. The fates each gave us a list. I have one week and twelve names; if I don’t find their partners, guess who they replace and becomes a pile of bones.”

  Jasper reaches over and took the paper from Eros, and there was her name right next to the checked-off name of Ria something.

  “So, excuse me if I make sure.” Eros snatched the paper away from Jasper.

  “Damn, a week? I’m sorry, but I can promise you this one is not getting away from me. I might have been blind before but not anymore.” Jasper leaned forward holding out his hand. “Thank you, we still on next week if all goes well?”

  “Yep, I’ll need it after all of this. Sorry about the pinch, Sadie, but I wanted to make sure nothing went wrong with the two of you.” The man nodded to them both before vanishing again.

  “Well, it looks like we both now carry Cupid’s mark,” Jasper said, lifting and pulling her shirt over her head.

  “What are you doing? And what mark?” Sadie asked, earning a growl.

  “Last questions. I’m stripping you down and going to make love to my woman. That man was the human’s version of Cupid.” Jasper leaned down and sucked her nipple into his mouth.

  “Jasper!” She grabbed onto his hair. “Never mind.” She moaned as he laid her back onto the seat and stripped her of the pants and panties she was wearing.

  “Beautiful,” he whispered. Jasper ran his hands down her stomach to her thighs. His gaze met hers. “I’m not going to lie to you, Sadie. When I bury myself inside you here...” He slid his fingers down and thrust two of them inside her. “I won’t be able to stop, and you’ll be mine. There will be no going back. It will start the change.”

  “One question. Even if your friend hadn’t helped, would I still be here? Is he helping make me your mate?” she asked.

  He shook his head. “Oh, baby, no. Our kind is born for one person and one person only. I would have found you later; you see, your boss, had already planned on bringing you over. When certa
in people go beyond, we sometimes offer them the choice to join us. We live a very long life, and you had been chosen. I just hadn’t gotten around to speaking with you yet.”

  “Really?” she asked and got a bite on her inner thigh.

  “That is another question, but yes, really. Do we move forward, baby?” Jasper asked, his eyes now turning a golden color as he placed kisses on her leg holding it up as he twisted his fingers inside of her.

  “You can’t leave me?” she asked, knowing her insecurity was showing.

  “No, you are mine; there will be no other,” he placed a kiss on her foot, lowering it and sliding his fingers out of her. “Decide,” he ordered.

  “Make me yours, Jasper. It might be too soon and I’ll have lots of questions later on, but my heart is saying yes. But if you hurt me, wolf or not, I’ll cut your thing off—” She didn’t get any other word out as he covered her mouth with his.

  He nipped her lip, demanding entrance to her mouth, and Sadie gave it to him. She was his, and he was hers; her mom would call her stupid to give herself so soon to a man, but something inside her had changed.

  “Stop thinking,” he growled and broke the kiss, working to undo his pants. “I wanted our first time to be in our bed, but I can’t wait. I need to claim you, here and now.” He lowered his pants to his knees before lifting her up over himself. “Put me inside you. Offer your pussy to me, Sadie.”

  She reached down and grasped his cock, which was huge. “Damn,” she whispered and guided it to her. “This is going to hurt,” she mumbled, and slowly, he lowered her onto his cock.

  Her hands resting on his shoulders, she took a deep breath. “More.” She tried to push down faster, but Jasper held her hips.

  “No, we’ll do this slowly. I know I’m big and you’re tight.” He growled and stopped moving. “You will feel a little bit of pain, but I promise after that there will be nothing but pleasure, my Sadie.”

  Before he could change his mind, Sadie kept her gaze with his, and while he was distracted, forced herself onto him, breaking the barrier.
