Force of Nature Series Boxed Set (Books 1 - 4) (60 page)

“I see you’ve made yourself at home.” He kissed her cheek before he and Austin sat down. “When did this take place?”

“I’m not here as the High Council, son. I’m merely cleaning out some paperwork before the true boss shows up.” She sat down behind the desk and waited. He was sure she was telling him something, but he couldn’t—

“
Oh no you don’t
,” he shouted as he stood up. “I told them before that I wasn’t taking this job and I’m not going to do it now. I have a mate to make love to and I want children. I’m not getting into politics again. No way.”

“Too late. The moment you walked through that door, you took the position. Congratulations.” She turned to Austin when he laughed. “You’re not off the hook either, young man. Congratulations, you’re his second.”

Chapter 20

Phil held the tiny bundle in his arms and Holly couldn’t help but marvel at how teary she was getting. Holly sat back in the chair and tried to listen to the blow by blow of what labor and delivery had been like for her sister-in-law. If she listened to Alexis, then she wouldn’t be bursting into tears at any moment.

You should know that when you go into heat the next time, I plan to work very hard at impregnating you.
She looked over at Phil when he spoke to her mentally
. I can’t wait to see you big with my child.

We haven’t heard back from your mom yet. She said she didn’t know if you and I could have a child. I don’t want to get my hopes up too much.
She wasn’t entirely sure, but she thought that they couldn’t have gotten much higher than they were now
. She said it would take her a while.

She found an entry in the books she has. While vampires can’t conceive all that often, you, my dear, are very fertile when you’re in heat. She said that she didn’t see any reason that we can’t have plenty of babies.
She felt him touch her body and she responded immediately.
You keep smelling like that and we’re going to have to find a dark corner or a locked closet so that I can fuck you.

Promise
? Phil stood suddenly and handed the little girl to her father. She stood when he walked toward her.
Where are we going?

“Home.” And there they were.

The room had been redone. She remembered dark drapes on the windows before and now there were lighter ones. Before she could ask Phil about them he dropped her on the bed. She watched him unbutton his shirt.

“Shouldn’t we have said something to the others before we simply left?” She licked her lips when his shirt came off. “I mean, won’t they wonder where we’ve gone?”

“No. If they have any sense at all, they’ve already figured it out. Take off your clothes, Holly. I want to make love to you.”

She watched as his belt joined his shirt. “Stop, please, Phil. I want to…I need to tell you something.” She nearly melted when he grabbed her foot and brought it to his mouth. “Phil, you’re going to…that feels so good.”

He suckled on her toes. Then he moved his hands up her calves and under the skirt she had on. She swallowed three times before she could speak. But he cut her off when he touched where the elastic on her panties should have been. He froze and looked at her.

“You told me that you’d prefer I didn’t wear them when I had on a dress. I know this is a skirt, but I thought you wouldn’t mind.” She frowned at him. “Of course if you only meant dresses, I can find some panties and put them on for you. I wouldn’t want to
—oof!”

He came down on top of her. His mouth was devouring hers and his hands were searing her skin with its heat. She heard her blouse rip and smiled. She supposed that making love was out of the question, that he was going to take her hard and fast. Just what she’d been hoping for.

The skirt was the next thing he ripped from her. Even as he tore at her bra, she could feel him rocking into her soft flesh between her thighs. She reached behind him and ripped his pants from his body, her claws not even scratching his skin.

He slid into her as she came. Christ, he only had to enter her and she came apart. When she felt her body start to slow she nearly screamed when he bit her nipple, bringing her to another powerful climax.

“Holly, I’m going to fuck you like this then I’m going to beat that ass of yours.” He rocked into her again as he continued. “My plan was to take my time with you, make love to you slowly. You’ve sent me over the edge thinking about you sitting there without anything under that short skirt of yours.”

She cried out again as he bit her again. “Please, you have to come in me. I need you to come inside of me, Phil, please?”

“Like this?” He stiffened over her and she felt his cum fill her sheath. “Christ,” he yelled as he started fucking her harder.

Even as her body was still reeling he pulled out and flipped her over. When she got up on her knees to get away from him he slapped her ass hard. She started to snarl at him when he entered her. She laid her head down on the bed in submission as soon as he bit her shoulder.

She was going to come again. Her body was building quicker now for the crest that was just there. When he reached around her to her pussy she cried out when he flicked her clit and then he gathered her cream. When he sat up behind her, but didn’t stop, she tensed when he started rubbing her tight hole.

“Don’t, love. I’m not going to hurt you. I need to mark all of you. Fill this tight ass with my cum too.” He rubbed harder and she felt him enter her ass with his finger. “You have no idea how much I want to fuck you here.”

She didn’t like the burn at first, but the longer he moved his finger in and out, the better it felt. When he moved a second finger inside of her, she moaned and he growled. The third finger slipping inside had her coming again.

“That’s it, baby. Come. As soon as I slip inside of you here I’m going to bite you. I’m going to feed your ass while I drink from you.” He slipped his fingers out and she whimpered. “I’m going to move slowly, baby, and you have to breathe through it. But don’t tense up.”

She felt his cock at her backside. She wanted to move away from him and when she did he slapped her ass. After two more hard open palms hits, she was moving back to his hand.

“More. Please, Phil, more. I want to feel you inside of me.” She needed him there, she realized. Needed to feel him in her ass.

He rubbed his cock over her pussy. When he pinched her clit she came apart and flooded his cock. She could feel her juices spill from her. When he moved his cock to her ass she nearly tensed up again, but moved back instead.

It was hard work for the both of them. He would move into her an inch and then he’d still while she got used to him there. Over and over he moved into her and she took him. When she felt him lean over her and rest on her back she could feel his sweat mingle with hers. He was in her fully.

“You are so tight around me, love. I’m almost afraid to move.” But he did, slowly and with care. She nearly came again when he reached around her and slid his fingers into her pussy.

“I won’t last, love, so come when you want. I want to feel you come with me in you this way.” She moved back when he pinched her clit. He growled at her and she moaned when he licked her shoulder. When he bit her she came apart with a scream. She felt his cum fill her even as she slid into darkness. Her last thought before she let it claim her was that she could die a happy woman.

The trial was set for nine o’clock in the evening. There were more people there than he’d thought there’d be. He’d expected ten people at the most, but nearly a hundred had shown up. He looked up at the dais and wondered who would be presiding over the courts. He smiled at his mother when she sat at his table with him.

“They said that there are some problems with the girl. Have you heard anything?” He shook his head and wondered what could be the issue. “I hope this thing doesn’t last long. I’ve wanted to get over to the pack house and hold that little girl of Alexis’s. What did she name her?”

“Allyson Gladys,” Holly answered for him. She took out her cell and handed it to his mother. “They decided to call her Ally. There are about a thousand pictures of her on that along with CJ’s twins. They’re getting so big.”

Just as his mother started going through the pictures, court was called to order. He, along with all the other people in the room, stood up and watched as a person who he presumed was a sort of bailiff came through first. He nearly fell over when his father sat himself at the high seat.

“This court recognizes the new High Trustees of Vampires as Phil R. Campbell, vampire. His second, Austin J. Force, werewolf, will take over duties when Trustee Campbell is not able. I call these proceedings to order. First on the stand.”

And just like that, he was officially fucked. He glanced over at Austin who was glaring at his mother. Good luck with that, he thought. He’d been trying to get her to fix this since yesterday when they’d been bamboozled into this mess.

Theresa was brought out. She looked like she was going to some debutant dance. Her hair was piled high on her head and her dress made her look like a virginal sacrifice rather than a murderess. He thought the white dress was over the top and laughed to himself when Holly said, “oh for the love of Peter” low enough so that only the few people around them heard.

“Your honorest, I’d like to say something before you tell me that you plan to kill me.” His father turned to the girl with a raised brow. “I think that I’m allowed to do that, right?”

“You can. But most people wait until the trial is over before they begin to plead their case. You thinking you might be guilty of something?” Rod Campbell turned to glare at the laughing room. “You want me to sentence the lot of you to hard labor?”

Everyone quieted down and he looked back at the girl when she cleared her throat to answer. “No, sire, I didn’t do nothing wrong. I was just minding my own business when that other person bited me and turned me into this. I never had a lick of training like them people are telling me I should of. Why, I’d just lost my beau the week before or so and I just wasn’t doing the things a proper girl should have.”

She batted her eyes at him and Phil thought his dad’s eyebrow was going to become a permanent part of his hairline. When he leaned back in his chair and regarded the girl she actually blushed. Phil sat up, not wanting to miss a moment of the show.

“So you’re telling me that you were minding your own business and suddenly, for no apparent reason, somebody bites you and turns you into a vampire?” He chuckled. “Might work for some people, this innocent girly act, but I’ve seen your work. If you were a good girl before there’d be no reason to believe that you’d be anything different as a vamp. Sit the hell down and don’t open your mouth again until I say you can. Of all the acts of…where the hell is her attorney?”

“I’m right here, your honor. I’m just here.” He glared at the girl before addressing the dais. “I had only just received this client.” He practically snarled the words, “This morning. After looking over the file, I’ve no choice but to tell you I completely agree with the court’s findings and think you should—”

“Hey, you ain’t supposed to do that. I want a new man. He’s supposed to help me outta this mess, not help you kill me off. I want to be free. I’m just a kid who don’t know no better.” Theresa turned to the room. “Ain’t nobody here been wanting to be free? I done those things ‘cause I didn’t know no better. You can’t kill me. I’m going to be somebody soon.”

The room was silent. It wasn’t until Phil stood that someone led the girl to her table. He walked to the front of the room and addressed it. He was so glad this wasn’t a human court. First of all, no one would have tolerated her standing there and secondly, he couldn’t do what he was about to do.

Phil turned to the slide projector to the right of the room. He began flashing pictures of the destruction that Theresa had been made to do because she’d not had training.

“As you can see, the rogue learned fast what she could do to a human. She tore them apart in ways that had grown men puking in bushes and having difficulty holding down their food.” She snickered and was hit on the head by her lawyer. Phil continued. “Over the past fifty years, she murdered humans. Murdered them in ways that made other humans question what had happened. They began to know that something was out there, someone they couldn’t trust, and certainly no one they could let mainstream into their everyday lives. She has made vampires and other supernaturals alike a target for hate.”

“I made people afraid of me. What do you think that felt like, you old fart? I got them to be afraid and they respected me ‘cause of it.”

Phil didn’t say anything to her outburst.

His dad cleared his throat. “Well, I’ve had enough of this crap. Theresa Elizabeth Sykes, you are hereby sentenced to death. Your death will be by staking through the heart until you—”

She screamed and lunged at him. Phil didn’t even try to move, but shifted so that his entire body was a lethal weapon. As soon as she came against him with her body, arms wrapped around him and her face hitting him in the chest, she leapt back. She started to scream, not in anger this time, but in pain. As the room watched, Theresa, rogue, started to have her flesh burned from her body. In a matter of a few minutes, she was dead; nothing but a white rag and a few bits of her hair remained.
