Bad to the Bone (Wolf Investigations and Securities Inc. Book 1) Read online

  Sometime had passed and he heard whispers. A plane had landed at the airport. Tyne felt nervous and worried, the way only a true mate could. He hoped Moe realized how much she meant to him and that she’d take care of herself. The sounds splitting the air were so familiar he had reason to doubt.

  “Wow, she looks like an avenging angel.” Someone said.

  Every worry he had was coming to life. His female was out there leading a small army to him. He’d told her what was happening and cautioned her not to come, but when did Moe ever listen to him? Never, that was when. Now she was at the head of the troops and almost to them.

  Tyne couldn’t deny his female looked like a Valkyrie or some other kind of super female warrior. Her hair turned to flame in the light and her skin was snow white. Although she wasn’t tall, her bearing was that of a warrior queen and no one stood in her way. No matter how angry and fearful he was, he couldn’t deny he was proud as well.

  He watched, struck speechless as she and her troops moved over those in their way, restraining all that fell before them. It made him wish he was a poet and could describe what he saw in a way that would live on long after he was gone. The emotions ran through him, but words refused to come.

  “Moe.” It was little more than a whisper, but her eyes found his and she moved faster.

  “You’re alright.” She breathed as her arms locked around his neck.

  “Why did you come?” He asked.

  “Because you needed me.” She replied.

  That was crazy, so very crazy, but he did need her. He would never have wanted her to put herself in danger like this, but more than anything right now, he needed her in his arms. Her warmth and her sweet scent washed over him as he stroked her silky smooth skin and wished they had a bed nearby. He would say somethings she wouldn’t like, but not right now.

  Pulling her into his arms so tight she protested, he would save the fight for another day. Today, he would enjoy the feel of his mate in his arms. Tomorrow he would say words that would upset her. Even knowing she would be angry wouldn’t stop the words he hoped would stop her from taking chances again. Tyne tried to forget that she had saved more than just him. Others would be thanking her while he would be showing anger.

  Maybe the goddess had made a mistake to give him such a strong female? It was more than his nerves could take watching her risk herself. He loved her, and it was too late to change that. She would have to stop taking risks and start being careful. That was all there was to it. He pulled back and looked into her hazel eyes. They shone with determination and strength. Even though he knew it was part of who she was, it had to be pared back.

  Only the goddess could safeguard a female as fiery and spunky as the one he claimed for his own. Leaving his happiness in the hands of the goddess just didn’t sit right with him. Picking up his female, he carried her to the rooms Kellie Jo had shown him earlier. This was where they would clean up, eat, and settle in for the night. It was cowardly, but the talk would wait until the morning. That way all her anger would be on hold too. He turned the knob and kicked the door open. For now he would think of nothing but love.

  “Take your clothes off. We’ll shower together.” Tyne promised.

  He toed off his boots and began to strip quickly and efficiently. Once he was bare all over, he looked at his lovely lady and saw she was taking off the last item of her clothing. Her pale skin glowed in the light and he reached out to cup one breast lightly. Her pink nipple hardened instantly.

  He dropped his hand and grabbed hers to pull her into the bathroom. Turning on the water, he set the temperature and his cock ached with need as he thought about what they would soon be doing. “First we’ll clean up, Moe. Then we’ll make love.”

  Now they stepped under the warm water and inside the shower stall. Steam filled the air as Tyne filled one hand with shampoo. Once Moe’s hair was dripping wet, he began to work the shampoo into her scalp causing it to foam.

  “Ooh that feels so good.” Moe moaned as he’d expected. He knew his female well and all the things that she liked. Being shampooed and lathered up was at the top of her list.

  Pushing her under the spray, he made sure the water ran clean before he pulled her out from under the water and massaged conditioner into her hair. Leaving it on for a while, he filled a hand with soap and worked up the lather in his hands. Starting at her neck, he slowly worked his way down her front taking special enjoyment in massaging her breasts and pinching her nipples. Her moaning and writhing made his cock grow harder.

  Working his way down her legs, he avoided her nether region for now. Moving up the back of her legs, he squeezed her delightfully plump ass. There was no doubt he was an ass man because he loved having something nice to hold onto. Reluctantly, he moved on up her back before he moved back to her sweet pussy. Now she would get the attention she’d been deprived of earlier.

  The soap was so slippery, but he slid over her lips anyway. Sliding back again, this time he made sure his fingers moved between her lips. In seconds he was pumping the fingers of one hand in and out of her tight channel while the fingers of his other hand played with the clit. His female was moaning and clenching around his fingers. Goddess it was wonderful to be playing with so much wonderful female.

  Curvaceous, that was what he liked and Moe delivered. He just worked her channel and her clit feeling her shiver as she tried to hold back, but he wouldn’t allow that. Tyne wanted that sweet she-wolf to cum all over his hand. There was no way he’d let her deny him what he was willing to work for. Picking up speed and adding one last finger so he was pumping three in and out of her, he pinched her clit and she went flying into pure bliss.

  Once Moe’s convulsing body calmed, she wanted her turn. “I’m ready to cleanse you now, Tyne. Wet you hair for me then lower your head.” She instructed. He did as she directed and she began to massage the shampoo into his hair. Loving the way it felt, he didn’t ever want her to stop, but she did. Putting his head under the water, he waited until all the shampoo was gone. Next she put conditioner in his hair even though he rarely did himself. It was okay since it smelled good and it made his hair so soft that Moe ran her hands through it all the time once it dried. He could live with that.

  Before she started to soap him up, he rinsed out the conditioner. He didn’t want to smell too pretty. She began to lather him down right away and he bit back the groan that threatened to break free. Her soft hands sliding over his body felt so perfect. Starting at his neck she slid down to his nipples. Moe pinched them both making them hard little points of sensitivity. Moving down his washboard abs, goosebumps broke out from the pure pleasure of her touch. Nothing in his life had ever felt the way Moe touching him felt.

  She moved past the place he most wanted her to touch, soaping up his legs. Looking at her kneeling at his feet made his already hard cock jerk. “Wanting some attention big boy?” She asked with a smile. Moe was enjoying her turn to tease and titillate.

  “You know exactly what I want.” He growled, but she wouldn’t be convinced.

  Moe moved up the back of his legs and thoroughly washed his ass. It felt nice, but made his cock feel neglected. He knew that wouldn’t be the case for long, but he ached right now. Moving on up his back she washed and massaged him. Now she turned her attention back to the place she had ignored. Her hand reached firmly between his legs grabbing his shaft and stroking from one end to the other. The other hand went lower, massaging his balls lovingly.

  It felt amazing and the tension built as she stroked his shaft harder and faster. Tyne felt a tingle running down his back bone to his tail bone. The tingle increased as he neared his climax. He struggled to hold it at bay and enjoy her ministrations as long as he could. Her grip tightened and he had no doubt he was aware he tried to delay and she pushed his orgasm nearer. Finally, he felt his balls draw up, the final sign that he was about to explode.

  He could delay no longer and a deep groan burst forth as his seed erupted in white ropy streams hitting the wall o
f the shower and coating it until the water washed it off. He jerked, his body sensitive to the slightest touch from the aftereffects of an all-consuming release. Now he managed to rinse off and shut off the water. They dried off and fell into bed, both asleep as soon as they hit the sheets.

  A few hours later, they woke reenergized. Tyne made slow sweet love to his female and then they cleaned up and got dressed. They went in search of food and found it in the kitchen area of the headquarters portion of the building. Thanking Debbie, one of the harpies, for fixing them each a plate of food, they sat down and wolfed it all down.

  Tyne had negotiations to deal with but there was no reason Moe couldn’t come with him. He and Ina Sue ended up locked in battle not over money, as one might expect, but over the authority to run the daily business. When he accepted her challenge to a game of pool to determine the winner, he’d never thought Ina Sue could be a pool shark.

  Now they were getting ready to leave, he with his tail tucked between his legs in defeat, and his female the happiest he’d seen her maybe ever. He’d not discussed her decision to ride to his rescue yet, and the longer he put it off, the harder it seemed to bring it up.

  Now he and all of the extra people that had traveled here with Tyne or Moe, were traveling back in his troop carrier. It wasn’t as comfortable as a passenger plane, but it was large enough for them all to load up in. He had to admit he was glad he was taking his mate home. It might even be for the best that Ina Sue would handle more of the decisions for the security company near the reservation. It might be time for him to delegate more work and find more free time to build a life with Moe.

  The trip home went fast, all things considered. He and Moe found time to talk and even took a nap together. If the plane had been more comfortable, it would have been a completely enjoyable trip. Tyne had to admit, his view of life was starting to change and maybe work wasn’t going to remain his main focus.

  Once they arrived and avoided the terminal, they got in their own vehicles that sat waiting and hurried home. There wasn’t a person that he saw that wasn’t happy to be back in their own part of the country. He was no exception either. Just to throw off his mate, he took a day off and spent the whole day at home with her.

  “You’re up to something, I can smell it.” Moe argued.

  “Are you trying to tell me I stink?” Tyne asked.

  “You know exactly what I mean. You never take off work. Something is going on.”

  “Can’t I just want to spend some time with my Sweetheart?”

  “No, you never do that.”

  “Maybe it’s time I started.” He pulled his big beautiful girl into his arms and laid a big wet kiss on her. She snuggled in and purred. “Hmm, I love it when you purr.”

  “Wolves don’t purr.”

  “You sure do Sweetheart.” He chuckled.

  Tyne’s heart was in the right place, but things didn’t work out like he’d thought. Work boomed and he and Moe ended up working overtime trying to keep up with new clients, training new employees, and making up for the shortage caused by the teams left behind with the harpies. Two weeks passed without a day off and long hours every day. Moe understood, or at least she seemed to.

  It was his intention to hire extras so he wouldn’t be caught this short ever again. Maybe he was finally coming to understand what Moe wanted changed. She was such an amazing and unique individual that he wanted to get to know her better. Not that he hadn’t known her for a while now, they just didn’t have much of this thing she called quality time together.

  He had decided that was something he needed to change. As much as he loved what he did for a living, he loved that female more. Tyne had searched his heart and soul, he’d looked for what mattered the most and he’d found Moe was it. The next problem would be dealing with all the dangerous and crazy things she wanted to do. If he took time off from his work to spend with her, he hoped she would give up some of the dangerous things she wanted to do.

  “Where did you go?” Moe asked.

  “I was off in the clouds. Tell me, Baby, what do you want from me?” Tyne asked.

  “Only you and some of your time.”

  “If I find more time to spend with you, then what?”

  “We’ll both be happier because of it?” Moe guessed with a wink.

  “If love is a compromise, what are you willing to give or give up?”

  “So that’s the way it’s going to be? Okay. Instead of going all over the world alone, I’ll go with you so you can keep me safe.”

  “I was hoping for a bigger compromise.”

  “Yeah, I bet. Where do you want to go that you haven’t been yet?”

  “Nowhere. I have nowhere I want to go, only places I need to go.” Tyne thought he’d given a good answer, but Moe jumped on it.

  “You’ve explored every place you want to see, and done most things you want to do. I’ve gone nowhere and seen little. Can’t you remember when you were young and dreamed of seeing the world? Has it been so long since you had dreams to live that you don’t remember how it feels to want something so much?”

  “Yeah, it’s been a while. If I try really hard I can remember, but most of the places I saw were work related. In the military I was there to kill or capture someone or something. Later, I was building a business and making it all it could be. It was never about pleasure or exploring for the hell of it.”

  “Okay, then why don’t you do it all again with me, only this time it can be about pleasure and exploring it together?”

  “I think I’ve been outmaneuvered. There’s nothing I can imagine that would be more delightful than exploring the world with you.” Tyne admitted with a grin.

  “Let’s start planning a vacation. We’ll do it just to see if you can leave someone else in charge and spend two weeks just enjoying my company.”

  “Only you would make a vacation sound like a test. Where do you want to go?”

  “We could go deep sea fishing, exploring ruins, scuba diving off the coral reefs, or even mountain climbing. Where would you prefer to go first?”

  “What about Hawaii? We could do a combination of all of those things and explore a volcano.”

  “I like the way you’re thinking. We could go to a luau, dance in the sand, and go hiking up a mountain. Do you want me to make the arrangements?”

  “Why not? You know best what we want to do and when we can get away.”

  Moe squealed and rolled on top of her male. She rained kisses down on his face and wrapped her body around him. “You are perfect! This is going to be the best vacation anyone ever took.”

  “I bet it will be.” Tyne said and he meant it. He expected she would plan a combination of physical feats like hiking, mountain climbing, and scuba diving, with touristy things like boat tours and luaus. Those would all be balanced with the activities lovers did in five star hotel accommodations. The excitement seemed contagious and he was beginning to feel it too.

  “Tomorrow I’ll start researching and we can leave in two or three weeks. Sound good?”

  “Anything that gives me time alone with you sounds good.”

  “You say the sweetest things. We are going to have the best time ever.” Moe insisted. Her eyes were lit with passion, her skin was pink with enthusiasm, and her breath came fast with anticipation. Tyne had to admit this was something he should have agreed to a long time ago.

  Her reaction made him feel warm inside and a bit of a tingle all over. It pleased him to please her. That wasn’t something he had just discovered, but maybe something he had unknowingly resisted. It was time to do his part to ensure they would not only mate, but that they would both be happy doing it. Maybe this give and take wasn’t so bad after all. Right now it was making him feel very good.

  Moe’s lips settled on his mouth nibbling his lower lips before her tongue slid in and dueled with his. She was on top of things right now and he liked it that way. Her position was astride with her legs tucked up against his side. Since they’d just woke up,
they were both gloriously naked and he liked that too.

  Chapter 3

  Love Conquers All

  Moe couldn’t deny that Tyne had an exceptional body even among paranormals who already had the gifts of the goddess. Sitting astride him as she was, placed her in a perfect position to appreciate all that was perfect about said body. Cut abs, tight hardened nipples that begged to be touched, muscular arms, and a cock, big and perfectly proportioned to his size without being elephantine, bounced against her ass.

  Her male filled her to her very limits, but it was again, a perfect fit. She raised up and her soaking wet sheath accepted his sizable maleness. Sitting still so they could both adjust, they groaned together. Moe felt like something was changing emotionally and maybe everything between them would fall in place.

  “Move, Baby!” Tyne growled.

  Moe lifted and dropped faster and faster, she rocked and rolled giving it all she had. Her body was lit from the inside out with pleasure needing just a slight push to make her come undone. She was dizzy with the power of their joining, needing and wanting nothing more than to cum with him. There was a need that had to be quenched and she could tell he hungered as well.

  His hands moved to her hips and he added his strength to aid her as he lifted her and dropped her on his needy cock. Just two times and she felt the beginning of her release roll over her. Her body clutched and clenched at him and his eyes rolled back in his head as his body bucked and jerked. She held on as he moved below her and he howled like his wolf was free.

  When he finally slowed, she collapsed on top of him sated and exhausted. “Oh my God, Tyne.”

  “It was amazing.” He agreed.

  She knew they would have to get to work soon. Once the new recruits were trained, things would ease and life would settle down. At least it would until the next new location or emergency revealed itself. Moe didn’t mind giving him her best. His business meant a lot to him and the only things that she could compare that to was the way she felt about family and the way she felt about him.
