A Halloween to Remember Read online

  “You’re right, they wouldn’t have. I would have killed anyone who hurt you and they knew it,” Ben said. “And I’m sure my son would do the same if you told him about these incidents.” He came around the table and kissed Shelly’s cheek.

  “He loves you, Shelly, and would give you the world if he could.” Ben looked over to the doorway. Shelly followed his gaze and saw Bo standing there…

  Her brothers pushed him out of the way and entered the room. “Move so I can hold my sister,” Dane grumbled.

  “Hold it right there.” Camille stood. “This is between those two. Now take your wife home to those babies and allow Bo and Shelly to work this out.”

  The three of them grumbled, but obeyed as they each gave Shelly a hug and kiss, then glared at Bo before they left.

  “Make her happy,” Dane snarled before exiting, earning him a slap on the head from their mom.

  That was what Shelly missed the most: being part of something. Bo leaned against the kitchen counter, waiting. Her husband hadn’t said a word since he’d arrived, but the anger in his eyes was not a good sign. “I should just go—”

  “Not another word!” Bo snarled and stepped in front of her when she rose. “Why didn’t you tell me? You are my wife. We have been through hell, but we survived it. I can’t believe you kept this to yourself.” He shook his head and started to pace.

  “Excuse me?” Shelly snarled. “I can’t come running to you every time there is a problem. I should have been able to handle this and I’ve tried. I wanted to prove I could be an asset to you, but every time I turn around…I just feel like a failure and so alone.” Shelly sat back down, feeling so tired.

  Before she could say another word, Bo was on his knees in front of her. He placed his hands on her face and held her head in his hands, staring at her. “I don’t need an asset. I want my wife by my side, and you are that woman. There is no other Shelly. We’ll work on this together. I promise things will get better, but you have to talk to me.” He leaned in and nipped her bottom lip.

  His mother cleared her throat. “I have your brother Drew watching the twins. Sander is calling the den together now.”

  “Why?” Shelly looked at Marsha when Bo stood and pulled her out of her seat into his arms.

  “Because we’re going to start addressing this problem right now, and tonight you can tell me all about this little girl who’s stolen your heart,” he ordered, swatting her ass as they headed back to the club that she’d promised herself she’d never step foot in again.

  “That is just a taste of what is to come. You have a lot to answer for, Little Wolf.”

  Even though he was gentle and loving with her, Shelly knew he was hurt. Shelly hated disappointing him. Just the tone of his voice made a few more tears slip down her cheek. She said nothing as they made their way out of Marsha’s home and to the new club where apparently all meetings would now take place.

  Her mate held on to her, not releasing her hand. Her in-laws walked behind them as did his brothers. She didn’t think this talk would help, but Shelly didn’t want to lose her man. Maybe I’m too weak…

  “Enough!” Bo yelled and stepped in front of her in the tunnel. Everyone stopped as he shook her. “I swear…” He took a deep breath. “Tonight, we have much to discuss and change, your doubt for one. You are not weak. You are one of the strongest people I know, but it’s obvious I need to show you.” He turned and started to walk again.

  With all the turmoil over the last two years, Bo had held back his dominant side with her. She could still remember the night he proposed to her. Her nipples hardened as she recalled the way he had taken control of her. He’d notice any little thing, when she was cold, hungry or sexually aroused. Those first few days had been magical. She sighed, remembering how he would even feed her.

  She’d never thought of eating as a sensual thing, but with Bo it was.

  “Whatever you are thinking about, you will tell me about it later,” Bo said and pushed open the door. He practically dragging her inside the packed place.

  * * *

  As he stepped into the building, Bo had to pull Shelly to his side. He knew she hated the club, but he was bound to make her change her mind. He was so furious at himself and everyone around him. He should had seen the signs, but hadn’t. That would change too. “Come, we won’t be here long.” He nodded to his mom and dad as they stepped up onto the stage.

  With his family behind him, Bo stared out at the room waiting as everyone settled down. More than 300 were present, which was pretty good considering it was a last-minute meeting. The rest of their pack would hear about the meeting and spread the word.

  “I have been Alpha of this den now for 20 years and never once have I been so disappointed in it. Let it be known here and now that Shelly is my mate, my life, and I will step down as Alpha before I allow this disrespect to my woman to go on any further. It’s time to gather and prepare. The war isn’t over, and we shouldn’t be fighting among ourselves. I will be watching and if I catch one person…” He looked around the room at the women, and some of them looked down. “One person disrespecting her, they will leave our den to fend for themselves.”

  He looked down at Shelly, who was gazing at the floor. “Look at me,” Bo ordered and her head snapped up, her gaze meeting his. Her eyes were swollen and red from crying. “I will protect you with my life. You hold my heart in your hands. Never again will you feel unwelcomed,” he said loud enough for everyone to hear, before leaning down and claiming her lips.

  There were cheers and whistles after Bo quickly scooped her up in his arms and claimed her with a powerful kiss that promised more to come. He broke the kiss and looked once more out at the crowd. “Sander, inform them about the gathering later this week. Tonight, my woman needs me.”

  He spun and made his way out of the new building, never once looking back. Shelly rested her head on his chest as Bo returned to their home.

  “Bo, what if I can’t carry your children?”

  “We’ll have children. The Great One wouldn’t have paired us otherwise, and if we don’t, we’ll adopt. I’m not going away, Shelly. You’re stuck with me, so get used to it.”

  Ten minutes later he stepped into their home and shut the door with his foot. No one was going to disturb them tonight.

  “Go into the bedroom and strip, Shelly. You will wait at the end of the bed, hands at your sides and your gaze straight forward.” Bo slowly lowered her feet to ground. “Not a word out of you tonight.” He ran his finger down her cheek. “If I ask a question, then you’ll speak. Now, go.” Bo turned her around and slapped her ass.

  She jumped and looked back at him, but nodded. He knew Shelly had questions, but they would wait till later. For now, it was time to set some ground rules since his little female obviously needed them.

  Stepping away from the door, Bo worked the buttons to his shirt as he made his way to the kitchen. He smiled. The dom inside him had been hidden for the past year, but not anymore. His little wolf needed the guidance only he could give her. Bo grabbed two bottles of water and made his way to the bedroom where she actually sat naked on the backs of her heels in a submissive pose, making him proud to be her master.

  “Beautiful, just as I taught you. I’ve been neglectful of my duties to you.” He placed the water on the dresser. As he turned to her, he stripped out of his shirt. His gaze didn’t leave hers as he stepped before her and dropped to his knees.

  “No, get up. You should never be on your knees,” Shelly said and tried to pull him up, but he wrapped his arm around her, holding her tight, nipping her shoulder.

  “Stop! Did I not explain there would be no talking unless I asked you a question?” Bo leaned back staring at her, and she nodded. “I didn’t hear that.”

  “Yes, but Bo, this is wrong,” she pleaded, but he just held her gaze till she stopped. “Sorry.”

  “As I was saying.” Bo kissed her nose, then back on his legs to watch her. “I’m sorry for not seeing your need.
I can promise from now on I will take you to places you say you don’t want to go, but secretly crave to try. I’ll stand beside you and watch your growth like a proud master should, because, Little Wolf, you are my little submissive.” Bo jumped up and walked over to the bed, where he sat at the edge.

  “Come over here and place yourself over my knees like a good little girl,” Bo ordered and watched the sharp intake of her breath as she rose gracefully. Her nipples hardened and he could almost taste her arousal on the air, it was such a powerful aphrodisiac. Her body was curvy and thick, just like he loved, so he didn’t have to worry about loving her, his way.

  His cock hardened to the point of pain as he thought of all the things he wanted to do to his mate. Tonight, would be a fresh start for the both of them and one he wouldn’t change for the world.

  Chapter Three

  The man she loved with all her heart sat on the bed, holding her gaze and waiting. His back was straight and he was naked from the waist up. She could spend hours just kissing and touching him, she loved his body and soul so much. Never would Shelly get tired of looking at him. At 6’3”, Bo was a force to be reckoned with. Oh, he had muscles, but not bulging ones like those of weightlifters.

  Her man was fast and quiet. No one would want him as their enemy. Right now, her master waited for her, and she realized he was her master in all things, but especially her heart.

  Slowly, Shelly inched her way to him, knowing once she placed herself over his knees, there would be no turning back. He would take total control over every aspect of her life, again. Bo didn’t do anything by half.

  She stood in front of him and stared into his eyes. Yes, she wanted to and could give him what he asked for. Shelly lay over his knees, her fingers touching the floor as she took a deep breath.

  His touch was gentle as he ran his hand over each of her ass cheeks. “I’m disappointed in you, Shelly.” The two quick swats to each round globe didn’t hurt as much as his words.

  “We chose to be husband and wife. To me that means we don’t have secrets from one another.” He slid his fingers down the crease of her ass to her pussy.

  “Nothing in this world or our old one means anything more to me than you.” He slid his fingers into her pussy and kept them there, not moving them. “There will never be any other woman in my life.” He gave her ass two more slaps. “If I ever hear those words come out of your mouth again, you’ll wear a ball gag for an hour!” he said, knowing how much she hated the thing.

  Bo twisted his fingers inside her as he spanked her a few more times. He then brought his wet fingers to his ass to coat her rosette. “We’re going to plug this tonight and start stretching, because in three days we’re having a Reticulon,” eh said as he lifted her up and stood her in front of him.

  She had no idea what that meant.

  “The females around here are getting testy. I want added protection for you.” He sighed. “But they aren’t the only ones I’m worried about. This is done only in troubling times, and I believe it’s needed here.” His gaze met hers. “I’ve picked three men whom I trust with my life and yours. At the grand opening of our club, everyone there will witness the Reticulon. Each male will take your ass and mark you with their scent. If something should ever happen to me, these men would also be there for you, protecting you.”

  “No.” She shook her head and stepped back. “You’re all I need.”

  “Again, you are speaking. Go to the drawer over there and bring me the plug and lube now,” Bo ordered and waited.

  Her gut twisted and she started to say something, but his look promised retaliation. She spun around and did what he asked. When Shelly saw the size of the butt plug, a shiver went down her spine. She peeked over at her shoulder and he had the nerve to smile. Wonder how he’d like this stuck up his ass, she grumbled to herself as she carried the items to him.

  He pulled her between his legs and took the plug and lube. “For one, I’m not a submissive and no one touches my ass. Second, your body is mine and I know for a fact you love when I take it. Now get up on the bed on your hands and knees, head down, and spread those legs wide.” He pinched her nipple. “I have a special gift for these babies too.”

  She grabbed her boob after he released it and glared at him, which was the wrong thing to do. He slapped the side of her thigh. “I don’t think you want to give me that look. On the bed now.” His voice dropped as he stood and went to pick up a black leather bag next to the closet door.

  “Where—” Her words stopped as he spun around and gave her that disappointed look again. “See, this isn’t going to work. I’ll always disappoint you.” She plopped down on the bed, her heart breaking. Once more she had disappointed him. She ran her hand through her hair, staring down at the floor.

  . It wasn’t until his feet appeared in her vision and a finger under her chin lifted her head that she realized he had moved. “Baby, I know this is going to be hard for you, but this is what you need. Do you trust me?”

  He waited until she nodded. “You know I trust you, Bo. I just feel like a failure.” She tried to move her head back, but he placed his hands on her face, holding it still.

  “No, Shelly. Never a failure. You just need guidance, and I’m going to give it to you. You have been like a fish out of water, needing a lifeline, and I’m that lifeline.” He leaned down and put a gentle kiss on her lips.

  “Now, on the bed.” He turned and moved back to his bag, clearly expecting her to follow his wishes.

  Shelly turned and crawled onto the bed and followed his instructions even though it made it her feel uncomfortable. The bed dipped next to her as a silk scarf slid over her eyes.

  “This will help. All I want you to do is feel. Let me take care of everything,” Bo whispered in her ear as he ran his hand down her back. “You’re so beautiful and all mine.” He squeezed her tender butt cheek, then slid his hand around her, touching the small rolls on her sides he knew she hated. “Mine.”

  She melted when he touched her and got all possessive like this. No man had ever touched, caressed and spoken dirty to her before. She craved it, like a sponge soaking up everything he would give her.

  His hands disappeared and everything was quiet till the bed dipped to her right. His hot breath was the first warning Shelly got before he sucked her nipple into his mouth.

  A small moan slipped out and she jerked away. “No, don’t move, and I want to hear your moans and cries. It’s music to my ears.” Cold metal closed around her nipple and she shook, waiting for the pain.

  Nipple clamps! He tightened the screw, not giving her any time to adjust. Bo moved to the other breast and gave her other nipple the same attention. “Now these clamps are perfect. I can apply weight, but right now…” The metal clicked.

  What felt like a cold chain brushed against her belly, but that wasn’t what had her squirming until a slap to her thigh had her holding still. It had been so long. Bo’s hair brushed against her thigh, and she knew he had his head now between her legs. He separated her pussy lips and sucked her clit into his mouth. The way his stubble rubbed against her sensitive skin as he worked his fingers in and out of her only heighten her desire, if that were at all possible.

  But his tongue wasn’t the only thing that was now touching her tiny nub. Another whimper escaped her as she grabbed on to the blanket under her, clenching, holding on, knowing what her sneaky master was planning. Shelly held her breath as he applied the clit clamp and the chain.

  “There we go.” He tugged on the chain and she cried out. “Perfect! Hold still,” Bo said as he moved out from under her. From behind her, he spread her legs wider and kissed each ass cheek.

  Hold still? Yeah, right. How could she with so many different sensations running through her? Shelly flexed her fingers and she must have moved slightly because she earned another slap to her ass. She knew he was just getting started. He seemed to be making up for all those months he’d held back.

  The nozzle from the tube of gel slowly slid i
nto her ass, followed by his finger. “You’re always so tight back here, even when I’ve stretched you. Yes, you’re going to have to wear the plug at least twice a day to keep you open for them.” Bo talked while working his fingers in and out of her ass.

  The thought of someone else taking her still didn’t sit well, and Bo must have noticed this as he leaned over and kissed the back of her neck. “Shhh, wait before you pass judgment. I want you to enjoy yourself, Little Wolf,” he reassured her, sitting back and separating her cheeks. Bo inched the rubber butt plug slicked down with gel past her first muscle and she couldn’t hold back the moan. Whenever Bo played with her ass, it heightened her arousal.

  “That’s it, relax and push back, baby,” Bo said and eased another inch of the plug into her. “Just a little bit more,” he said as the rest of it slid into place. He was right. No matter how much he stretched her, she was always tight, but having his cock back there was amazing. Every nerve and muscle tingled when he fucked her.

  “God, you’re beautiful. Now roll onto your back and bend your legs to your stomach and hold them there for,” he said, jumping off the bed, and she knew he was watching.

  Carefully she moved to her back, but not before tugging twice on her chain. Her nub was tender and swollen, and her nipples were also sensitive from the pressure. Shaking, Shelly bent her knees and brought them to her stomach. She held on to her legs, opening herself to the master of her heart.

  “Open them so I can see the pussy I own. Your legs are wet. Are you excited, Little Wolf? Do you need my cock in that pretty pussy?”

  “Please…” she cried. He knew what the dirty words did to her.

  “No, you’re not ready yet.” Shelly could hear him walk around to the side of the bed. Bo placed a rope with a Velcro closure around her thigh and leg, keeping her legs bent and spread wide. “You can see me, can’t you?” he asked.
