A Siren Erotic Romance

STORY EXCERPT

Jack sat down at his usual table, swirling his glass of expensive scotch and checking out all the sexy young men dancing around the club. He loved visiting the Silver Bullet. It was the most amazing gay club he’d ever been to and that was saying something, since he’d been to thousands over his long life.

Standing up, Jack strode to the bar and held up his empty glass. The bartender caught his eye and nodded, rushing to fill a new glass. Jack leaned against the counter, waiting. A sweet scent caught his attention and Jack stood up straight. His heart sped up, eyes going wide. His True Match was close. He didn’t have to look too far, three young men, probably in their early twenties, were casually talking. One of those men is my man.

He tried to move closer without being too obvious. He took a deep breath, calculating each scent until he knew which man was his. Muscular, lean, a strong jaw, short, spiky blond hair, and lips to die for. He was everything that Jack had ever fantasized about and more. The young man jumped off the barstool and Jack was momentarily stunned speechless as he pulled his shirt off and marched to the dance floor. The man didn’t look happy though. His eyes were sad.

Jack watched his True Match dance, shaking his ass and getting plenty of attention from other men. A spike of jealousy rushed through his system, his teeth growing. He wanted to yank the young man away, but he didn’t have that right, not yet. The bartender slid Jack’s drink to him and he took a gulp, letting the potent liquid burn his throat.

“He’s taking this real bad.” He didn’t know the guys’ names, but knew they were talking about his True Match. What was he taking really bad? What happened? He wanted to learn more before pulling his man off the dance floor and he would be doing that, very soon.

“What about you?” the other guy asked and he wanted to roll his eyes. No, he wanted to hear about his True Match.

“Me?” guy one asked.

“Ranger?” guy two asked back.

Jack knew who Ranger was. Shifter. He knew that his True Match had some shifter blood, he could scent the earthy smell, but he wasn’t fully wolf.

“He’s not my mate. In this instance, I know how Holden feels. The only difference is that I can keep my feelings locked away.”

He was finally getting somewhere. His True Match’s name was Holden and the man wasn’t good at hiding his emotions.

“I’m sorry.”

“I’m tired, I just want to go back to The Castle and go to bed.”

“Why did you come out?”

“Holden. I thought that he might need a friend and a designated driver.”

“It looks like he’s found a few new friends.”

Jack ground his teeth together. His young man wouldn’t be with anyone but him. Soon, he would be pushing all those other guys away. Soon, his sexy little Holden would know him.

“It’s not real. He’s just trying to get over the pain.”

That confirmed it, the young man was hurting. He’d known the moment he saw those sad blue eyes, but now, his friends confirmed it.

“Jeez, Maddox, I feel guilty enough, man. Sean is my mate. I love him. I’ve loved him since I was sixteen.” He wasn’t sure why the young man felt guilty. He was in love with his mate. What did that have to do with Holden? They weren’t meant to be.

“I know. I’m not trying to make you feel bad. I get it. If drinking and dancing would get Ranger out of my head, even temporarily, I’d do it.” What did that mean? Was his True Match in love with his friend? He was young and hurting because his friend found his mate?

“Have you and Ranger…?”

“Yeah, we did, right after graduation, on my eighteenth birthday.”

“Holy shit! How did I not know? Where the hell was I?” Jack grabbed his glass, ready to leave. He didn’t need to hear any of this personal information. It was time to get his True Match off the dance floor. Maybe even take him home and get their lives started.

“Crying about Sean to Holden. He held you when you cried about your mate. Of course he’d fall in love. He took care of you. I’m gonna leave.”

Lifting up his free hand, Jack rubbed his chest. He didn’t know why his heart hurt from just hearing the words. His True Match was in love with another man. It seemed that he had his work cut out for him. He abandoned his glass on the bar and went straight to the dance floor. It didn’t take nearly that long to clear the men away from Holden. He bared his fangs and they scattered.

“Hi.” Holden looked up at him and grinned.

His blue eyes sparkled and he licked his lips. My True Match likes what he sees. Jack was thrilled. Holden just stood there looking up at Jack under those thick blond lashes. With no thought behind the action, Jack cupped Holden’s face, pulling the younger man closer. He slanted his head, laying a soft kiss onto sweet lips. Holden whimpered, fisting Jack’s shirt as he leaned in.

Holden opened his mouth, allowing Jack’s tongue to explore. A cry of protest left Holden’s throat as Jack pulled away.

“I wanted to do that the moment I laid my eyes on you,” Jack whispered against Holden’s lips.

“Again…please, more,” Holden begged, tugging on Jack’s shirt.

A Siren Erotic Romance

Blair Stewart (Character Inspiration)

STORY EXCERPT

Sean Griffin stretched out on his over-stuffed couch, crossing his legs at the ankle. It had been six years since he’d met his mate, six long years. Today, the young pup turned twenty-two years old and here Sean sat, celebrating, all alone. When he’d met the young man, the boy was only sixteen and to save himself the frustration of seeing his mate every day and not being able to touch him, he’d sent Blair away.

The first stop was to a private high school in France, then backpacking around Europe before starting college in Italy. Luckily, the Alpha, Gideon Channing, had family in Europe that took the young men in. Sean had paid for it all out of his own pocket since his young mate didn’t have the support of a family, and because Blair was his responsibility. The pup lost everything the night his father found out that Blair and his friends, Holden and Maddox, were gay. Sean’s pack had welcomed the three into their pack and home.

He could still remember the day he’d met Blair as if it were etched in his mind. It had been in the early hours of the morning at the Silver Bullet, the pack-owned gay club in New Orleans. Sean was following his normal routine as club manager that night, walking around the large brick building, just as an extra safety precaution. That night, six years ago, he’d stumbled across three pups looking through one of the dumpsters, searching for food. Even now the thought made his heart ache for what the young men had endured.

“Hey.” Hearing the shout, the boys stopped rifling through the dumpster and stared intently at him, as if ready to run at the first sign of danger.

Their faces and hair were covered in dirt and they smelled as if they hadn’t showered in a while. Even from the short distance that separated them, he could scent that they were wolves. Although, still too young to shift. Most shifters didn’t have their first change until they were full grown and in their early- to mid-twenties, so pups were kept close to the pack until then. These boys were still young and too far  from home to be lost.

“What do you want, man?” The smallest boy  gave him some attitude and Sean snickered. They obviously hadn’t developed their sense of smell, otherwise they would know he was a Beta wolf and not to be messed with.

“Well, let’s see,” He moved closer to get a better look at the three, and counted each point off on his fingers for emphasis. “You’re in my dumpster, outside my club, and you aren’t a member of my pack.”

“Oh…uh…your pack?” A slightly taller, dark-haired boy asked as  the scent of fear filled the small space.

“We heard there was a pack here in New Orleans. We were going to meet with the Alpha, but we were hungry.” The tallest boy finally chimed in, his tone only slightly more respectful than the first boy.

“Yeah, I’m sure that was the plan. The Alpha is inside the club. Let me take you to him and then, I’ll get you some real food,” he promised. Although he wanted to come off as a hard-ass, he didn’t know how long the boys had gone without eating.

The boys looked at each other, trying to communicate without words and Sean rolled his eyes heavenward in impatience. When a decision was finally made, they helped each other out of the dumpster. The three lined up, shoulder-to-shoulder, reminding him of a small defensive line of peewee football players. With them now away from the heavy stench of trash, a sweet scent tickled his nose and his wolf jerked up to attention. It took him only a few seconds to realize that one of these three boys was his mate. Holy shit!

“Let’s get inside the club.” He pushed the thought of one of the boys belonging to him out of his mind and marched toward the entrance, the young pups trailing behind him.

He needed to remind himself that these were boys, baby shifters, pups, and not men. Why now? Why did I have to meet my mate when he’s still a child?Fate hated him, that was the only answer. He was angry and irritated, his good mood completely evaporating. He strode into Silver Bullet, never once looking over his shoulder. He knew the baby shifters were following him if only to get some food.

The crowd had thinned out since the early morning hours and although the boys were legally under age, he took them into the bar area to wait for the Alpha.

“Wait here, I’ll be back with the Alpha. You can tell him your story.”

“Whatever, man.” Mr. Attitude was back. And, of course, he just had to be the one that was his mate.

ADULT EXCERPT

“Will you teach me?” His innocent little mate looked up and Sean almost shot his load right then. Had any request sounded so sexy?

Sean grabbed the base of his shaft, holding it for Blair. “Lick the tip.”

Blair’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed nervously. He leaned forward and tentatively rubbed his tongue over the head of his shaft. From just the simple contact, he groaned. It had been so long, too long since anyone had ever given him pleasure. Blair, his mate, on his knees at his feet wanting to suck his cock, this was fantasy come true.

“Again,” he told Blair. “And look at me.”

He wanted to see his mate’s eyes as the man sucked his cock. The same innocent hazel eyes with a trace of gold that he remembered from so long ago.

Blair gazed up, running his tongue along the slit, taking the pre-cum into his mouth. “Do you like how I taste?”

He nodded. “A little salty and sweet.”

“Good boy, now run your tongue around the head.” Blair did as he was told. His gaze connected to Sean’s the whole time.

“Suck it…into your mouth.” Blair nodded before leisurely taking the head between his lips.

Sean groaned. The pleasure was almost too much after going without for so long. He was right at the edge and knew it wouldn’t take much for him to find his release. The wet heat of Blair’s mouth was lethal. Blair drew his length in deeper, licking as he sucked. With shaky hands, Sean threaded his fingers through Blair’s hair. He wanted to fuck the pup’s mouth, but refrained, letting him explore. This was the man’s first experience.

Pulling off his shaft, Blair did something unexpected. The pup dipped his head down and gave his balls a lick before sucking them into his mouth one right after the other.

“Ah, good, pup!” he shouted.

When Blair took his cock into his mouth once more, Sean held his head in place and began gently rocking his hips. He wanted to move faster, wanted to shove his length all the way down the pup’s throat, but refrained. Using all his strength, Sean moved his hands back and let Blair have the power.

“Do you know how hard it is to not fuck your mouth? You’re so perfect.” Those words seemed to spur Blair into action. He pumped his wet fist on Sean’s shaft, as his mouth followed in time. “Yes, that’s it! Keep going, baby, just like that.”

Blair sucked harder and faster, working his engorged flesh. “I’m about to…come, baby. Be my good boy, take it from me…swallow me down.”

Sean threw his head back and his climax rushed through his system. “Coming in your mouth!” With a brutal roar, he ejaculated, spurting in hard jets against the back of Blair’s throat.

He sat there for a minute or two, panting, trying to gather his thoughts. Looking down, Sean stared at Blair, kneeling at his feet, his softening cock inside the man’s mouth. The pup didn’t look to be in any sort of hurry to stand up. His cock started to harden once more with just the sight of his mate so close after being gone way too many years.

“On your hands and knees, in the middle of the bed,” Sean demanded, his voice deep and heavy with lust.

Blair scrambled to obey, making a beeline for the bed. Sean stood up and took two steps to the bedside table. He pulled the drawer open with too much force and the contents spilled out onto the floor. Ignoring the mess, he bent down and picked up the lube. 

He would have more time to explore Blair’s body later. He planned on spending days touching, tasting, and loving his mate. Right now though, he needed to bond Blair to him. Blair crawled to the middle of the bed and lowered his shoulders, lifting his naked ass high in the air. He looked over his shoulder at Sean, and he could see the young man’s body shaking. The look in his eyes said it all. The young man was equal parts nervous and excited.

Sean growled, moving onto the bed behind his mate. He leaned forward and lightly nipped the man’s right cheek before mimicking the same action to the left. Blair moaned, his ass twitching. How many years had he been dreaming about this? Spreading Blair’s cheeks apart, he exposed his mate’s most private part. A low rumbling growl was ripped from his throat. He could feel his wolf close to the surface, wanting to place his mark on the young wolf.

He swiped his tongue against the man’s hole and Blair jumped, letting out a gasp of surprise. Sean gripped his cheeks tighter as he continued to lick and eat Blair’s ass. He slowly pushed his tongue inside and Blair moaned, rocking back.

“That’s it, pup,” he encouraged as he inserted a finger inside along with his tongue.

He spent a few minutes, loosening the younger man’s tight hole. It was obvious that he was a virgin. He’d saved himself for Sean.

“Oh, God!” Blair yelled, his entire body shaking.

Prologue

     Jayden Channing hooted and hollered his excitement as he ran out of the apartment above the pack club, Silver Bullet. He’d been waiting years to be old enough to be allowed access. His Alpha and older brother, Gideon, owned the club and had kept him away, blocking every single one of his attempts to gain entry. He’d tried everything, but those days were now over. He had permission to dance, drink, and have fun. Gideon’s only rule, don’t do anything inappropriate. Whatever that means. He just needed to steer clear of Gideon and whichever pack member was assigned to watch over him.

     At twenty-two, Jayden was a full-time college student. Finals had just ended, his junior year over. It was now summertime, and he had two short months to meet new friends, dance, drink, and stay up all night long. He’d been waiting for Gideon to finally notice that he was old enough, and he couldn’t suppress the excited grin that lit his face even if he tried.

     Making his way into the main part of the club, he wasn’t sure what to do first. Lights flashing, techno music pumping, he could feel the bass pounding through his system, driving him to dance. He decided to hit the bar and get a little buzzed first, knowing that Gideon would be down shortly, followed by Sean, the pack’s Beta. He pushed his way through the swarms of people and reached the bar. He waved his hands rapidly to get Sam McMillan’s attention.

     “Uh-oh, how did you get inside?” Sam grinned, shaking his head. He was the head bartender at the Silver Bullet. The man was also a fierce tiger shifter that had joined their pack a while ago. Jayden liked

him.

     “Gideon finally agreed to let me in.” Jayden shook his hips, beyond excited to get on the dance floor.

     “All right, I’ll believe you,” Sam’s tone said otherwise as he winked, “What do you want to drink?”

     Jayden didn’t care if Sam believed him or not, the bartender was still willing to serve him a drink, and that was all that mattered at this moment. He was sure that the tiger shifter would report him to Gideon. This time though, he didn’t care. He had Gideon’s permission.

     “Hmmm…Something fruity would be good,” Jayden said, eyeing the bottles behind the bar.

     Sam nodded and grabbed a couple of liquor bottles. Whirling them in his hands, he threw them into the air and caught them behind his back. Sam moved quickly and gracefully, putting on a little show for all the patrons. Men chanted his name as Sam flirted back, winking and blowing kisses. Jayden rolled his eyes and tried to wait patiently. As soon as Sam set the glass on the bar, he grabbed it, barely dodging Gideon and Sean as they came near the bar.

     Jayden sipped his drink as he watched his brother closely. He’d been kicked out of the bar so many times that it still felt a little surreal and almost uncomfortable that he was even allowed to be here. He followed Gideon with his eyes and watched him speak with almost each and every person in the club. Gideon was extremely popular, good looking, and well-liked. He made it look all so easy. Life had never been that simple for him. Then again, he wasn’t a big, strong Alpha. How did my brother get all the good genes?

     Gideon strode to a table across the dance floor and smiled, shaking hands with four of the biggest, baddest-looking men Jayden had ever seen. He moved closer, wanting to get a smell. It was obvious that they were paranormals and predators, but he could tell they weren’t wolves. He was small enough to sneak around the edge, sticking to the dark walls for cover. When he was close, he inhaled, cataloging all the various scents. Vampires.
     He caught a whiff of something sweet and it tickled his nose. What is that? It was a mixture of vanilla and chocolate with a touch of something he couldn’t quite place—something…spicy. As his mouth watered, eager for a taste, his body reacted, muscles tensing, and all the blood in his body traveled south, straight to his cock. Mate.
     Jayden’s mouth opened slightly and his blue eyes widened. One of the vampires was his mate. Ignoring the reaction of his body, he moved closer to eavesdrop on the conversation taking place between his brother and the table of vampires.
     “Gentlemen…how are you tonight?” Gideon asked, shaking hands with each vampire.
     “Just finishing my drink before going to the dungeon. I’ve got a new whip to try out.” One of the vampires growled, downing the contents of his glass in one gulp.
     That’s him. That’s my mate. Jayden watched with pure fascination as the man stood up and flung a large black duffle bag over his shoulder. He stood over six feet tall, similar to Gideon’s height. He had broad shoulders and muscles that strained against his black shirt and tight leather pants.
     His hair was black, long, and flowed past his shoulders, and his eyes were an impenetrable shade of onyx. His features were hard, harsh even, almost as if they were chiseled from granite. The man looked slightly menacing, and Jayden shivered as he watched the vampire leave the table and disappear behind a large metal door that led to the dungeon, a dungeon that Jayden didn’t have access to.
     “I’ll leave you to it then. If you need anything, just let one of my staff know.” Gideon strode away after those parting words.
     Jayden shook himself. He needed to find out the vampire’s name, and he needed to know exactly what took place inside the dungeon.

When a decision was finally made, they helped each other out of the dumpster. The three lined up, shoulder-to-shoulder, reminding him of a small defensive line of peewee football players. With them now away from the heavy stench of trash, a sweet scent tickled his nose and his wolf jerked up to attention. It took him only a few seconds to realize that one of these three boys was his mate. Holy shit!

     “Let’s get inside the club.” He pushed the thought of one of the boys belonging to him out of his mind and marched toward the entrance, the young pups trailing behind him.

     He needed to remind himself that these were boys, baby shifters, pups, and not men. Why now? Why did I have to meet my mate when he’s still a child? Fate hated him that was the only answer. He was angry and irritated, his good mood completely evaporating. He strode into Silver Bullet, never once looking over his shoulder. He knew the baby shifters were following him if only to get some food.

     The crowd had thinned out since the early morning hours and although the boys were legally under age, he took them into the bar area to wait for the Alpha.

     “Wait here, I’ll be back with the Alpha. You can tell him your story.”

     “Whatever, man.” Mr. Attitude was back. And, of course, he just had to be the one that was his mate.
