Chapter 50
Grayson was holding me when I woke up the next morning. Talen was nowhere to be seen but I could smell his scent on the pillow next to me. It took me a few moments to register what this meant.
“That sneaky fucker.” I shouted, waking up Grayson in the process.
His eyes shot open. He sat bolt upright and started scanning the room around us for danger. After a few seconds his muscles relaxed and he laid back down next to me.
“What was that outburst about?” Grayson asked.
“Talen must have snuck into bed with us while I was asleep, his smell is all over the pillow and bed next to me.” I complained.
“Oh, and that is why you are upset?” Grayson asked.
“Of course I am upset about that. I told him that I didn’t want to share my bed with him and he didn’t listen to me.” I said, I could feel my anger levels rising. I turned so that I was facing him so he could see how annoyed I was. Grayson brushed the hair away from my face and kissed my forehead.
“I am not saying what he did was right but it is understandable. I saw the look in his eyes when you were pushing him away, it was the same look I had when you rejected me.” Grayson said.
“Maybe it would be better if I just rejected him. Then I wouldn’t keep hurting him and he could get on with his life.” I said.
“No. You have no idea how painful that would be for him. I really want you to think about accepting him.” Grayson said.
I didn’t want to think about Talen right now. I had to think of some way to change the subject.
“Really, and how are you going to persuade me?” I asked, playfully.
“I can think of one or two ways.” He said.
He leaned forward and pressed his lips against mine, pulling me towards him. I ran my fingers down his chest as my mouth moved against his. I don’t know if it was because I would be in heat soon but I could already feel myself getting wet. My body was responding to the slightest touch from him.
Grayson ran his hands over my body. I could feel his e******n pressing against me. I rolled my h**s forward, rubbing against him and making him g***n with desire.
He rolled onto his back and pulled me on top of him. I sat on top of him, straddling him as I pulled my nightdress off over my head. He looked at me for a moment, appreciating my exposed breasts.
“So perfect.” Grayson said, his voice husky with desire.
“I brought breakfast.” Talen said as he was opening the door to our room.
I quickly pulled the covers over me and Grayson just moments before Talen walked into the room. He was carrying a tray crammed with food and a large cafetiere of coffee. He had three empty cups in his other hand. A smile slowly spread across Talen’s face as it dawned on him what we were doing.
“Don’t let me interrupt.” Talen said.
I was still laid on top of Grayson but I turned so that I could see Talen. He was watching us, nibbling on his bottom l*p. I rolled only my back, being careful not to reveal myself to Talen.
I looked over to where Talen was standing, he was smiling at us but he was clearly serious. He honestly thought that I would be intimate with my mate while he stood in the corner of the room watching us.
“That is not happening while you are standing over there watching us.” I said.
“I could come over there and join in if you would prefer.” Talen suggested.
“No.” I shouted.
‘Are you sure? It might be fun.’ Grayson mindlined.
Scarlett purred.
‘You better say yes or I will make your life hell until you agree.’ Scarlett said, I could feel her desire. She wanted her mate but I couldn’t let this happen.
‘I am sure.’ I replied to Grayson through mindlink.
It didn’t matter how turned on I was or how much fun I would have. I knew that if I gave in and did what they wanted then Talen would end up marking me. There would be no way that he would be able to hold his lycan back while in the throes of passion.
‘Why does that matter, let me be with my mate.’ Scarlett growled.
She tried to push me aside and take over. The suddenness of her actions meant that she almost succeeded. I pushed her back but she wasn’t willing to give up so easily. She continued to try to push me back, pushing harder with each attempt.
‘Jade help me.’ I pleaded as I fought with my lycan to stay in control.
‘You are on your own with this one.’ Jade said before retreating into my mind, leaving me alone to fight with my lycan.
‘I am stronger than you. I will eventually overpower you and I will claim my mate.’ Scarlett growled.
I knew she was right. Now that she really wanted to take over I was only barely managing to hold her back. I could feel myself slipping as she continued to push against me. It wouldn’t be much longer before I lost this battle completely.
Grayson was holding me and stroking my hair. Softly whispering to me trying to get me and my lycan to calm down but as he was not Scarletts mate his words were having no effect on her.
“Grayson, help me I can’t…” I said as Scarlett finally won the battle and pushed me aside.
“Talen, my name is Scarlett. I am Molly’s lycan.” Scarlett said, smiling at him.
“Hi Scarlett, why did you take over?” Talen asked.
He walked across the room. He placed the tray and mugs on the bedside table and sat himself down on the bed in front of me.
“She was trying to stop us from being together. I wasn’t going to let her do that.” Scarlett said.
“Why doesn’t she want to be with me? What is the real reason behind her hesitation?” Talen asked.
“She doesn’t trust you. She wants to get to know you before letting you in but she thinks that if we mate then you will mark her.” Scarlett said.
She was telling him everything. Why didn’t she just tell him my bra size while she was at it.
“She is probably right.” Talen said.
“I don’t care. If you mark and mate me now then there is no way that she can reject you. That is all I want.” She pleaded.
Oh my god. Now she was begging my mate for s*x, did my lycan have no self respect. I tried to push my way forward but I was still too weak from my earlier fight with her.
‘Now you know how we feel when you make all your stupid decisions.’ Jade said, giggling at my efforts.
“I would love nothing more than to do that but I would never take Molly’s choice away from her. I want her to want it as much as we do but trust me, I won’t stop until she does.” Talen said.
“I don’t want to wait, I want you inside me right now.” Scarlett said.
She let go of the sheet that was covering me. The sheet dropped from my chest, revealing my breasts to Talen. Talen tried to keep his eyes on my face but they kept darting down to my breasts. I could see his e******n straining at his trousers.
“Do you like what you see?” Scarlett asked, using the same line that Talen himself had used last night. I just wished that I could close my eyes so that I didn’t have to see this, it was so embarrassing.
“You are gorgeous but we have to wait.” Talen said, his voice was husky.
He lifted up the covers to cover me but Scarlett did nothing to help. She wouldn’t take hold of the covers so every time Talen let go they slipped back down again.
I could tell that Talen was struggling to control his desire and being this close to me was not helping him. Scarlet could also tell that Talen was struggling to resist her. She leaned closer to him, slowly licking her lips.
“Would you settle for a k**s, for now?” Talen asked.
“Yes.” Scarlett said.
She pulled the covers off of me and pounced on Talen. She pushed him onto his back and then she pinned him to bed. She pressed my lips against Talen’s. He was shocked for about a second but then he started to reciprocate.
Talen put one arm around my waist while running his fingers through my hair with his other hand. Scarlett ground my h**s against his e******n, the friction sending pleasurable waves through me. She started moving faster.
‘Please stop dry humping him, this is so embarrassing.’ I said.
She just ignored me completely and kept going. Talen’s breathing was getting faster. I could tell that he was getting close to his release. I tried again to push my way forward.
‘You want control? Here you go.’ Scarlett said before retreating into my head, leaving me in control.
I quickly scrambled off Talen and covered myself up. Talen was slower to get up, he was still breathing heavily. I could sense his frustration even though he didn’t complain. Grayson pulled me close and held me in his arms.
‘You could have at least finished him off.’ Scarlett complained.
“I’m sorry about that, my lycan doesn’t seem to understand boundaries yet.” I said, blushing. I was probably around the same colour as a tomato right now.
“That is ok but I need to, ermm. I will see you later.” Talen said, quickly leaving the room.
