Her Stepbrothers Are Werewolves Page 6

  Lucy stood. “I’m going to use the bathroom before we land,” she said and made her way down the aisle. The woman was stunning, her round ass swinging as she walked to the restroom.

  He stood and stretched. “Excuse me, ladies,” he said following Lucy at a slower pace, giving her time to get her business done, but needing her at the same time. He heard the laughs from her friends, but ignored them, hearing the toilet flush, his clue she was done.

  Duke was super glad he had made sure that the bathrooms were normal size as he stepped into the bathroom, closing the door behind him. His gaze met hers in the mirrors as she was washing his hands.

  “I’ll be done in a minute,” she said.

  He moved up behind her and cupped her ass, before moving his hands under her shirt to cup her breasts. All the while, he kept his gaze still on her. “I don’t need to go,” he told her, leaning down and placing a kiss on her neck.

  “Did you know you have an ass that I can’t wait to worship? Your curves are perfect. Breasts full to fit my hands and your scent drives me crazy every time I’m close to you.”

  Lucy shut off the water and dried her hands before turning around to stare up at him. She glanced at the door then at him.

  “Relax, we’re not going to make love in here. No, our first time together will be when we are not rushed, because I plan to take my sweet time kissing every inch of your body.” He dropped to his knees before her and lifted her shirt, staring at the scars on her belly.

  “I wish we would have found you sooner,” he said, before licking and placing kisses on each knife mark. “You will be cherished and loved beyond anything you have ever known.” He looked up at her as she placed her finger on his cheek.

  “I don’t need to be put on a pedestal, Duke. Just love me.” She took a deep breath, closing her eyes and resting her hands on his shoulders. Lucy smiled and looked down at him. “I used to dream of finding a man who would hold me when I cried, comfort me when I was sick, and make love to me when and wherever the urge took him. But right now, I’d settle with being safe and loved.”

  He stood and lifted her onto the counter behind her. “You will have all that you crave. We already can’t stand the thought of being separated from you or the children. With our kind, when we find our mate it’s….” Duke shook his head. “It’s hard to explain. There is a peace inside here.” he placed his hand over her heart. “And a burning need always down here.” He took her small hand into his and placed it over his cock which had been in a state of hardness since he’d seen her last night. “This will never go away. You complete us, make us whole. I’m the alpha of my pack. It’s my duty to protect my pack members, to take care of them. But with you, it’s a need a want to make sure you are happy. The thought of you crying or hurt rips my heart apart.” Duke reached up and cupped her cheeks.

  “And as far as the making love wherever I want, well baby, you have two full grown men who can’t wait to show you their kind of loving,” he growled, just as the co-pilot knocked on the door.

  “Sorry sir, hate to interrupt, but we are about ready to land,” he said through the door.

  He sighed. “Thank you, Mark, we’ll be right out.” Duke lifted Lucy up and hugged her tight. “I can’t wait to love you under the stars by the lake. But for now, time to buckle up,” Duke moved to her side, escorting her to the front where Nolan was already buckling the children in. Lucy came around to sit next to Karla.

  “Are you as excited about this as I am?” she asked, lifting her gaze to meet his. She reached over and brushed back Roman’s blond hair away from his face, before handing Randy the tablet after shutting it down.

  “Do we really get our own rooms?” Roman asked.

  Duke took his seat across from Roman and smiled. “Yes, you will both have your own rooms. They will be right down the hall from ours, so you won’t have to worry about being alone either.”

  Nolan looked out the window as they touched down. “Uncle Camden is here,” he snorted. “And of course half the family is with him.”

  “What? I don’t know if we’re ready to meet a whole bunch of people right now. Plus, we really do need to get the kids settled so they can explore a little bit of their new home before bed,” Lucy said, but he knew she was nervous.

  Duke reached over and squeezed Lucy’s knee. “They’re going to love all of you, I promise.”

  “Not all,” Nolan growled. “Liddy is here.”

  “What?” Duke snapped out loud, making the kids and Lucy jump.

  He shook his head and sighed. “I’m sorry, little ones. My brother informed me of something I’m not happy about, but it has nothing to do with any of you.” He looked at Karla and winked at her. “But I have a feeling my brother and I are going to have to keep all the little boys away from a very pretty little girl.”

  Karla giggled and Lucy nodded her head. “Now, you want to tell me what’s wrong? No, let me guess, a girlfriend?” she asked, as the plane shut down and both Scotty and Randy stood behind her, watching.

  Chapter Nine

  Lucy stood at the top of the stairs to the plane staring down at the small group that waited for them. Roman held one hand and Karla the other, while Scotty and Randy were behind them.

  “Do you believe that witch?” Scotty snapped, glaring at the woman that was now hanging all over Nolan, kissing his face. “Let me go knock the shit out of her,” Scotty growled.

  “No, they will handle it. They didn’t know they’d find their mate, Scotty. You have to give them time to get rid of the… girl,” she said, smiling at Karla and Roman.

  “I don’t like her or him anymore,” Roman pouted and looked up at her. “He’s hurting you.”

  “Oh sweetie. We’ll be fine. See how Nolan is pushing her off of him. He doesn’t like her right now either. Give them a chance. Remember, we’re all knew at this family stuff, right?” she said looking at him and Karla.

  Both nodded, but she could see the hurt in their little faces. “Well come on, let’s get this over with so we can get you two settled in our new home.” Lucy stood and made her way down the stairs with her group.

  Duke waited for her at the bottom of the stairs.. He was glaring at the woman who was being dragged away by two men. “Uncle Camden, Aunt Tish, this is our mate, Lucy, her two friends Randy and Scotty, and our two children, Roman and Karla,” Duke said, wrapping his arm around Lucy as soon as she got off the stairs.

  The bear of a man smiled, stepping forward, and hugged her tight, almost lifting her off the ground. “Welcome to the family, Lucy. I’m so, so sorry about that disturbance.” He stepped back and glanced over his shoulder. “She had to have followed us. I would never have brought her here.”

  His wife, Tish, snorted and engulfed her in a hug. “That is true. My husband would have buried the woman if he even thought of her starting trouble. We’ve been waiting for these two to find their woman for a while now and we couldn’t be happier to meet you all.”

  Tish stepped back and knelt by the kids. “I have something for both of you.” She dug into her purse and pulled out two disposable cameras. “Now since this all very new to you two, I thought we could start right off the bat with taking pictures of everything you like here. This will be our project together. We’ll make scrapbooks and each month we’ll get together to add pictures. What do you think?” she said, handing them both a camera.

  Roman frowned, looking at the thing. “But I don’t know how?” he said.

  “That’s okay, because I’m going to teach you. That is my job. I take pictures for our family, see?” Tish pulled a camera out of her purse. “I had to take picture of all of you coming off the plane, didn’t I?”

  Lucy moaned. “You didn’t get me frowning, did you?”

  “No, I got you when you were with Duke and Nolan standing at the top with the two little ones. I wasn’t about to take pictures after that little incident,” Tish said.

  “I do have to say I like your aunt,” Lucy whispered to Duke as they ma
de their way to the limos while Tish showed the children how to work the cameras.

  “Well, she sure likes you and so does my uncle. I’m really sorry about earlier. We really only went out with her a few times. I don’t know why she even thought to come here,” Nolan said as they stepped up to the car.

  “It might go over better if you wipe the red lipstick off of your face before you grovel,” her friend Scotty said, patting his shoulder as she climbed into the limo.

  Leave it to her friends to… She shook her head and dug into her purse for a wet cloth she had saved for the kids, but never used. Lucy stepped up to Nolan, wiping the lipstick off his face. “I thought I would have to use this for the children, not the men that claim to be mine,” she said, smiling and placing a little kiss on his lips before getting into the car behind her friends.

  “Now I know you have a gem there, because if that would have been Tish, she would have ripped my head off after killing the bimbo,” his uncle said, before getting into the limo right behind her.

  “It’s not my place to get angry with them. We are not committed to each other yet,” she told his uncle, when Duke moved into the car followed by Nolan.

  “Now that is where you are wrong, little Lucy. We are very much committed to you,” Duke said, placing his arm behind her. “And if any man comes snooping around, I bite,” he said making Roman giggle.

  “I thought biting was bad?” Roman said.

  “You’re not a wolf, so it is. Don’t you start biting, Roman, Duke was teasing.” Lucy glared at Duke who smiled.

  “Your mommy is right, little guy. Biting can get you into a lot of trouble. I was teasing your mom,” he said leaning over staring at Roman. “Now, I might get a little mad if a man shows up and tries to date your Momma especially since she will be our wife soon. Plus, I have two little children who are mine,” he growled and tickled the little boy. “I protect what is mine.”

  Karla looked at her. “Can he protect us from...”

  Duke reached over and put his finger on her mouth. “You don’t even have to ask. Karla, I will keep saying it over and over till you believe me. You two will be protected at all costs, along with your momma.”

  “Maybe I should have grandpa pay him a visit? He should be able to get into that place without anyone seeing him,” Randy grumbled.

  “Yeah, then they’ll come looking for me. Just leave him alone. Of course, if he is out of jail, then it’s fair game.” Lucy said.

  For the next 30 minutes, Tish showed Roman and Karla how to use their cameras while Lucy stared down at her phone. Duke was busy speaking with Nolan and his uncle and she wasn’t about to start trouble, but the text messages she was receiving right now were not a good sign.

  Her phone vibrated again and she looked down to see another one.

  You can run, but I’ll find you and I’ll make you pay for taking my children. Tell me how many men have you let between your legs, you whore. I can’t wait to shove my knife up inside you, cutting you so no man will ever be able to touch you.

  * * *

  Duke frowned and glanced down at Lucy who just shivered next to him. “What’s wrong?” he asked and she shook her head turning her phone over.

  “Nothing,” she whispered. “Oh my! Is that your home?” she asked, changing the subject as they pulled up to their home.

  He leaned over and whispered in her ear. “I’d rather you don’t say anything than lie. Yes, this is our home.”

  She looked up at him, but didn’t say a word, digging in her purse as the door was opened. As she went to get out, Lucy handed her phone to home. “1044,” she said getting out.

  Stepping outside Nolan moved to his side as he punched the numbers into her phone, unlocking it and froze at the message he saw. The wolf rushed forward, but Duke held back knowing if he went crazy, the children would be scared.

  “Dead,” Nolan all but whispered, he was so furious and Duke nodded. He handed the phone to his uncle.

  “It will be done by tomorrow morning,” he said, handing him the phone and turning, pulling out his phone.

  Duke turned to see Lucy staring at him. Her eyes sparkled with tears she held back, trying to be brave for everyone. All he wanted to do was gather her into his arms and hold her.

  “Come, let me show you to your new home.” He wrapped his arm around her, kissing her neck. “We’ll always be here for you,” he whispered before picking up Roman, while Nolan lifted Karla up into his arms. “As all of you have seen, the house is gated. We also have guards that patrol the grounds so the children are very safe here.” The door opened and his mom smiled.

  “Lucy this is my mom, and no, she’s not married to my father. She has her own mate now and lives about a mile down the road,” Duke told her, as they all stepped into the house. “You see anything you don’t like, you can change it. We expect you too.” Duke introduced the children and Lucy’s friends as they all moved into the family room.

  “Wow, look at that TV, Karla,” Roman said, squirming in Duke’s arms till he let him down as Nolan released Karla. “This is really our home?” he asked.

  Duke laughed and nodded. “Would you like to see your rooms?”

  Both children nodded coming right to him. For the next two hours, the kids explored their rooms, running back and forth to the others room, showing off new things they found, while Lucy traveled down the hall towards the master suite.

  “To the left is my room and to the right Nolan’s, but for now, this is your room, soon to be ours,” Duke told her and opened the double doors, which lead into the largest bedroom in the house. “I hope you like it.”

  Their woman stepped through the doors and slowly turned in a circle, till her gaze met his. “My God, this room is huge and stunning. What’s not to like?” She turned back around and approached the super king bed, running her hand over the carved wooden bedpost. “Wolves, dragons,” she looked over her shoulder. “Are there dragons?” she asked.

  Nolan stepped up to her and placed a kiss on her shoulder, lifting his finger to trace the image of his best friend. “Yes, my best friend, Austin. He lives close by. You’ll meet him tomorrow. He saved both of our lives a few years ago. Each of these carvings are short stories about our life.” He nodded to the bare spot on the headboard. “Our meeting will go there,” Nolan said.

  Lucy placed her hand over Nolan’s. “It’s stunning. You did all of this, didn’t you?”

  “Yes, it’s one of my hobbies, helps relieve stress when things get out of hand. Where I work with wood, big brother works with glass,” Nolan pointed to a dresser where his latest creation was.

  “Oh my,” Lucy walked over to the dresser and lifted the sculpture. “It almost looks like me?” she looked over her shoulder at Duke.

  “I saw this in a dream, it’s the three of us,” he told her. Both he and his brother were standing, Lucy was between them, her legs wrapped around his waist as they loved her. Her head was tilted back as she screamed her release. “I call the piece A Wolf’s Possession.”

  “It’s beautiful,” she placed it back in its spot, before looking over her shoulder at him. “Am I your possession?” Lucy whispered.

  Both he and Nolan wrapped their arms around her nipping and biting her skin. “Yes,” he growled as did his brother. “Ours and only ours,” he added, hearing the little feet coming their way as he stepped back to welcome their children.

  “Momma Lucy, look at this!” Roman came running in, carrying one of those electronic game things as did Karla. “We both have one.” Duke stood back smiling as both kids climbed onto the bed and showed Lucy their new games.

  “I have to say that is the best view I’ve have had in long time,” Nolan said to Duke, his attention on the three.

  “I agree. Let them explore, we have a few things to do before dinner arrives.” Duke said going over and placing a kiss on Lucy’s head. “We have pizza coming for dinner tonight, but it won’t be for a few hours. Explore with the children. We’ll be in the kitchen. I n
eed to speak with mom and her husband before they leave.”

  Lucy nodded and reached up, squeezing his arm. “Thank you for all of this, both of you.”

  “We’re having pizza too?” Roman asked. His eyes got big before he jumped off the bed and ran to him, hugging his leg.

  Duke swore his heart swelled so big his chest was expanding. Tears filled his own eyes as he ran his hand over the boy’s wild hair. “Yes, we’re having pizza too. We promised we would take care of you, little man, and we will.” He choked out the words. “Now, you three have fun exploring while Nolan and I take care of some business so we can spend some time with you before bed.” Duke said, lifting the boy up into the air, earning a giggle out of him.

  “You watch the girls now while we’re downstairs, okay?” Duke said, putting him down. The boy nodded and looked back at Karla and Lucy.

  “I’ll protect them,” he said, crawling back onto the big bed and sitting between Karla and Lucy.

  Lucy kissed the top of his head. “Thank you, Roman. I feel safe already,” Duke heard her say as the two of them made their way downstairs. He wanted to make sure the threat to his family was gone and needed to speak with his mother about tomorrow’s cook out. They sure didn’t need a repeat of what had happened earlier tomorrow.

  Chapter Ten

  Lucy tucked Karla into her new bed and handed her the stuffed wolf she had loved the first time she had seen it. “I’m very proud of you, Karla. You’ve kept your brother safe while the courts decided if you could come to live with me. I’m proud you are my little girl and I love you very much.” She leaned down to kiss her cheek and Karla reached up, hugging her tight.

  “I’m so glad you’re our mommy now. Love you,” she said and snuggled down in the covers as Lucy stood and moved to the door, a lump in her throat. Duke wrapped his arms around her and guided her to the master suite.
