Aberdeen Pack 2
Djal was just trying to do his duty as beta
of his pack when he made one small mistake and now he has a pack member chasing
after him, intent on mating him. If Djal doesn’t figure out how to stop
Julian’s obsession with him, he just might strangle the man.Julian has lived through hell, more so than most people know. When freedom comes, Julian is still faced with people out to harm him. The mere sight of the big strong beta makes Julian feel safer. One night spent together convinces Julian that Djal would be the perfect mate. He just has to catch Djal first.
When Djal discovers that someone is
abusing Julian, the protective streak he tried so hard to control breaks free.
It goes way beyond what Djal knows he should feel for a mere pack member and
only by giving in to Julian can Djal come to terms with the need growing inside
of him. But before Djal can save Julian, he has to figure out who is after him,
and Julian isn’t talking.
STORY
EXCERPT
Djal slipped
around the side of the house then pressed his large body back against the
wooden building. He closed his eyes and prayed when he heard the quick patter
of feet running past his hiding position. He opened his eyes and held his
breath as he watched Julian hurry past him as if he was invisible.
And he wished he
was.
This thing with
Julian was really getting out of hand. If the man wasn’t trying to chase Djal
down, he was staring mooneyes at him. Djal had barely had a minute to himself
in two weeks. If something didn’t change soon, Djal was going to strangle the
little guy.
It wasn’t that
he didn’t like Julian, because he did. Julian was cute, and he made Djal laugh.
But every time Julian looked at him, he had daydreams in his eyes, and that
just wasn’t who Djal was. He didn’t sleep with every Tom, Dick, and Harry that
came around but he liked keeping his options open.
Julian wanted
commitment. He wanted a mate and he wanted Djal to be that mate. Everyone knew
it. Djal felt like he had become the butt of everyone’s laughter over the last
two weeks. And just because he had tried to comfort the guy after he had been
kidnapped and attacked by his ex.
Djal knew he
made a mistake when he offered comfort to the man. He knew it when he did it.
It should have simply been the beta of the pack–Djal–comforting a pack
member–Julian–as was his duty.
It had turned
into far more and now Djal was paying the price. It had gotten to the point
where Djal was avoiding pack gatherings just so that he wouldn’t run into
Julian. The guy was sweet, maybe too sweet. There was a gentle nature about
Julian that called to every protective instinct Djal had and maybe a few he
didn’t even know he had.
Djal wanted to
wrap Julian up in bubble wrap so the world couldn’t hurt him. And that was
dangerous–to Djal, to Julian, and to the pack. Djal had no doubt that if he
gave into the crawling need that ate away at him every time he smelled Julian’s
alluring scent, he would forsake everything in order to keep Julia safe, even
his duty to his alpha and their pack.
And in all of
the years that he knew Iben Khenti, Djal had never let the man down. He wasn’t
about to start now, and that meant staying as far away from his cute little
pack mate as he possibly could–no matter how much he wanted to taste Julian’s
sweetness again.
When the sounds
of Julian’s footsteps faded, Djal blew out a frustrated breath and pushed
himself away from the side of the house. He cast a quick glance down the path
Julian had taken and then hurried it into the alpha house.
Djal wanted to
sink into a hole the moment he closed the door and realized that Iben and his
mate Zack were in the great room, staring right at him with a good deal of
amusement on their faces.
“Problems,
Djal?” Iben’s eyebrow quirked as the man asked a question he already knew the
answer to.
Djal curled back
his upper lip as he growled at his alpha. He was probably one of the few people
in the world that could get away with such an action without losing his head.
Iben had befriended Djal and his siblings, Sissy and Rory, when they were
toddlers. They had stood side by side in support of the man ever since.
“I swear to god,
Iben,” Djal grumbled as he pushed a hand through his long hair in frustration
and stalked into the great room, “if something isn’t done about Julian pretty
soon, I’m going to flip the hell out.”
Iben laughed.
“He likes you.”
“He’s obsessed!”
What part of that didn’t Iben get?
Taking a deep, unsteady breath, he stepped back from his alpha and lowered his
tone. Iben would have his butt in a sling if he was disrespectful. “He won’t
leave me alone, Iben. He follows me everywhere. I can’t get a moment alone.”
“Would it be so
bad to be with Julian? He’s actually a pretty great guy.”
Djal’s eyes
snapped to Zackary Evans, the mate to Alpha Ibenré Khenti. Zack was crazy about Iben, and protective as hell. He saw
his duty to the alpha to keep him safe and happy. He would never understand the
need Djal had to keep all of his pack safe. It was ingrained in him, part of
his very DNA. He could no more deny his need than he could deny his pack or an
order from his alpha.
“My duty is to Iben and this pack,” Djal replied. “I don’t have time for a
mate.”
“Maybe you
should have thought of that before you slept with Julian.”
Djal’s eyes
narrowed. While he hadn’t come right and said he slept with Julian, pretty much
everyone knew he had. Djal wasn’t proud of that fact simply because he had been
trying to comfort the guy, not fuck him into the mattress.
But one thing
had let to another and things happened.
“It was a
onetime thing,” Djal insisted.
“Does Julian
know?” Zack asked.
“I told him.”
And he still felt the weight of his guilt at the tears that had sprung to
Julian’s eyes when he did. But, no matter how he felt, Djal couldn’t back down.
He couldn’t, and wouldn’t, be the mate that Julian was dreaming of.
There was just
no way.
ADULT
EXCERPT
“Kiss me, pup.”
Djal was ready
for Julian to kiss him. He was even ready for the man’s eagerness. He wasn’t
ready for the streak of lust that flared to life deep inside of him the second
Julian’s lips touched his.
Julian wasn’t a
graceful kisser and he certainly wouldn’t win any awards. But he more than made
up for that lack of expertise with pure enthusiasm. Julian kissed Djal with a
hunger that rocked Djal to the core.
Crushing
Julian to him, Djal pressed his mouth more firmly against Julian’s. He moved
his mouth over Julian’s, devouring its softness. He stroked his tongue across
Julian’s lips, tasting him. When Julian’s lips parted, Djal delved inside to
explore and conquer.
Djal
pinned Julian against his chest and moved his lips over the man’s jaw, kissing
a line to his swan like neck. Djal brushed his lips over Julian’s throat. His
lips left a blazing trail on Julian’s heated skin. He kissed the silky skin at
the base of Julian’s throat.
Something
intense flared inside of him when Julian moaned. Djal felt a possessiveness
that was far beyond anything he had ever felt for Iben, Sissy, or Rory. He
needed to possess Julian, to feel the man submit to him, to his wolf. He needed
to know that Julian belonged to him and him alone.
And Djal
suspected Julian needed the same thing.
“Mine,” Djal
growled savagely against Julian’s throat. His nipped at the bite mark he had
left, licking across it with his tongue. Julian’s shudders filled him with an
overwhelming need to give the man more–more pleasure, more caring, more
everything.
He felt the
harsh uneven breathing coming from Julian’s body. It was as poignant as the
hard cock pressing against Djal’s abdomen. Julian’s body seemed to ache for his
touch. His beautiful green eyes were no longer pale but stunningly emerald
green.
Djal stroked his
hands down Julian’s side until he reached the man’s ass–and what an ass it was,
tight and rounded and made to be fucked. Djal didn’t want to tell Julian that.
It seemed wrong and out of place.
“Are you ready
for me, pup?”
Julian gulped
and nodded.
Djal kept his
eyes locked with Julian’s–watching for any sign of pain as he lathered his
fingers with lube then slowly pushed one into Julian’s tight ass. Except for
the slight inhale of breath, Julian didn’t move a muscle.
He
pulled his finger out then pushed back in, gently fucking Julian with his
finger. When he thought that Julian could take more, Djal pressed in another
finger and wiggled it around.
Julian
suddenly wailed when Djal pushed in a third finger and altered the angle of his
thrusts. Djal knew that he had hit Julian’s prostate. He started to move his
fingers in a steady rhythm, making sure he stroked his fingers over Julian’s
sweet spot as often as he could.
"Oh gods...Djal...I
have to...oh please." Julian clutched at Djal’s arm, his nails digging in
as he started moving his hips, pushing back against Djal’s fingers. “I need!”
“I know what you
need, pup.”
Djal fucked Julian’s ass a few more times and
then pulled them free. He grabbed the tube of lube and spread some on his cock.
Julian had plenty of lube already in his ass but Djal wasn’t taking any
chances.
The air around
Djal seemed electrified as he lifted Julian up by his hips then slowly lowered
the man down onto his thick cock, gently thrusting into him. He pressed in a
little more each time, and Julian rocked back, silently begging for more. With
every inch that slid inside of him, Julian’s eyes widened until they dominated
his face.
Once Julian’s
body rested fully against his, Djal paused. It took every ounce of control he
had honed over the years to keep from plunging into Julian’s sweet body. He
wanted to give in to the blazing fire burning inside of him, to plunge deep
inside of Julian.
He just
couldn’t.
He wouldn’t move
until Julian gave him the okay.
“Djal, please,
I…more, I need more.”
Oh, thank fuck!
