Perfect Reflection (12 page)

“Get what you need,” Lex said and went to Jewel,
gripped her by the arm, and said over his shoulder, “Lock the door
on the way out.”

“Yes, sir,” the same man said and Ret followed them
as his Beta dragged the struggling Jewel behind him until the got
to the room they were staying in again.

“Dude, what is your malfunction?” Jewel steamed and
pulled her arm out of his grasp.

“Why didn’t you call us?” Lex said darkly.

Jewel laughed and then glared at him again, “Because
I am not a weak little girl who needs to have her big strong men
come and help her out of a situation.”

“At least you are thinking along the same lines as we
are,” Ret said and she shook her head.

“Huh?” she said confused.

“We are your men,” Ret said smugly, then took her
hand, and led her to the couch.

Jewel sighed and shook her head. “Guys, I get that
you think a mate is supposed to be quiet and nice, doing everything
her big bad mates tell her, but that is not me, I am not that girl
and if you need a girl like that, then this conversation is
over.”

Lex and Ret both growled and her head snapped up.
“Dammit, get this straight, we don’t care about how you act, or
what you wear, we only care that you are our mate and we need to
make sure that you are talking to us, period,” Ret barked and she
leaned back and looked at them,
shit, they were hot when they
were pissed
.

“I could smell the same scent, the one that smells
like you but not, I don’t know how else to explain it. The scent
was faint but there. Ret, did you have your family on the list of
people to look at?” Jewel said curiously.

“Why would I, my father is the only family I have and
he is out of the country, confirmed by flight and passport records.
Retired and living in the Bahamas, other than that, it is me, no
cousins, uncles, nothing,” Ret said.

Jewel frowned and then bit her lip as she focused.
There was something there on the edge of her memory, something that
should fit in here that is not. “Where is your mother?”

“Died in childbirth, my dad was devastated, said she
was his true mate. There was some drama, apparently my mom was
mated before to another wolf that was not her true mate. When my
father and mother met, that was it. But the other guy didn’t like
it, was pissed, and kidnapped mom, she gave birth and died before
my father could get her back. I asked about the situation many
times, but my father won’t talk about it, other than to say that
she hated the other man. Said the other guy was deranged and used
to beat her,” Ret said. “Everyone in the pack is pretty
close-lipped about it, but I have gotten pieces here and there,”
said Ret.

“I tried to investigate, but the files were
sanitized, they say Ret’s mother died from hemorrhaging due to
complications in the pregnancy. Police found her just before she
delivered and got her to the hospital to give birth to Ret; she was
able to talk to his father briefly before dying. No one knows what
was said. Last I looked, the guy, Jeremy Ridel, was killed in an
accident,” Lex said.

Ret shrugged, “Why would that have anything to do
with this?”

“Why does any psycho do what he does? No one knows
until you catch him. And I am gonna catch this son of a bitch”
Jewel said fiercely.

Without thinking about it, she reached up and grabbed
her men’s nice pretty ties, using them to pull them to her slowly.
First she captured Lex’s mouth in a kiss, then released him, and
moaned as she kissed Ret. Dammit, if her self-control hadn’t went
out the window when they walked into the room all commanding and
demanding.

“If you think you can detour us from this
conversation you are sadly mistaken,” Ret said smiling at her.

“I’m not ready to be claimed if that’s what you’re
asking,” Jewel said, knowing she felt their attraction, and was
sick of fighting her wolf to get close to them. Hopefully this will
keep them all satisfied until they could talk.

“That’s it?” Lex asked with his eyebrow raised.

“Fair enough,” Ret said and then looked at Lex.

“Game on,” Lex murmured against her throat, their
clothes seemed to melt away.

They kissed and tasted each other, getting to know
what each other liked for a while before Ret became uncomfortable
and with a laugh, he picked her up over his shoulder fireman style
and stalked into the bedroom. Jewel laughed when he flipped her
over onto the bed and then followed. Lex crawled in after them and
soon they were much more comfortable.

The men took over, Lex leaning over, kissing her, and
palming her breasts, while Ret moved down kissing her body as he
went. They were in control and she knew it. It drove her mad to
think she was giving over a bit of control to them.

Ret made a noise of appreciation and began to torment
her clit immediately. She growled and raised her hips, urging him
on. In response, she swore that his tongue grew, and the thick,
wet, flexible flesh pushed deep into her tight pussy, sliding
repeatedly over a sensitive spot, causing her to moan loudly. She
cried out as she came and clenched around his warm tongue. Her
sheath rapidly relaxed and tightened, over and over again. Her hips
bucked uncontrollably, and she attempted to pull away from the
exquisite torture of his tongue.

Lex held down her now-thrashing arms, preventing her
from pulling at Ret’s hair.
Oh God, they had to stop, it was too
much
. Ret growled and held her legs and hips as he eased his
tongue out of her channel and took a languorous lick along the seam
to her throbbing clit. She would have jerked off the bed if she
hadn’t been pinned down.

“That’s my cream, and I want it all,” he groaned as
he swiped his tongue over her again and again.

“Stop, stop. Fuck me, please,” her voice took on a
desperate, pleading quality.

“Of course,” Ret said, giving her pussy one last
kiss, his eyes burning with lust.

They relaxed their hold and flipped her over onto her
belly with ease. Ret’s strong arms pulled her hips back and
positioned her ass up high at the edge of the bed where he now
stood. She couldn’t help but rotate her hips and spread her legs
more. His big hands massaged her taut buttocks, squeezing and
pushing them apart.

“So fucking sexy,” he murmured, his voice thick with
desire.

She felt his cock rubbing up and down her wet slit
before he plunged deep into her pussy. As he moved she could hear
how wet she was. She looked back over her shoulder to watch them.
Silently, Lex passed a bottle of lubricant to Ret who squirted some
of the cold gel in the crack of her ass. She felt exposed and
vulnerable but knew that she was in capable hands. He carefully
stroked a thick finger over her puckered skin a few times before
pushing it inside.
Ohh, that’s different.
They were
murmuring, Lex avidly watched his Alpha pump his finger in and out
of her tight opening, matching the rhythm of the cock in her
channel. She turned her face away, relaxed her shoulders, dropped
her head, and enjoyed the sensations.

Ret’s free hand began to stroke her back, and he
softly cooed unintelligible words to her. His finger left her, and
his cock slid from her slickness and stroked up to her back
entrance. He tapped the head against her tightly closed back door
as if knocking to seek permission to enter.

“Are you ready for me,
Mate
?”

She moaned her assent and arched her back. He slowly
pushed his way into her.

“Ohh,” she panted. “Shit.”

It wasn’t exactly painful as he carefully pressed
past the tight ring of muscle, but it was intense. It burned a
little but in a hot, sexy kinda way, and his cock warmed her
inside. Lex moved until he lay under her and smiled, “Ready to be
stuffed with our cocks?”

“Shit, yeah, anything, just fuck me, please,” she
begged and then waited as Lex slid into her slowly, she felt
stretched and full as Ret slowly pumped in small increments deeper
into her ass once Lex was fully in her pussy.

She heard Ret’s groan of pleasure and felt him
tremble as he came to rest, with his soft balls squashed against
her pussy, leaning over her back with his head on her back. He was
bottomed out, balls-deep in her, and she loved it. The appeal of
anal sex was no longer a mystery.
In-fucking-credible.

“Someone move please!” she screamed as she felt
herself beginning to tense up.

They began to move, and she continued to scream. Lex
kneaded her breast while they kissed; this was raw and
uncomplicated sex, just what she needed. This was good, and her
mind shut off as the men established a rhythm, they were moving in
and out of her in tandem, one pushing, one pulling, and all she did
was feel—that is all they allowed her to do.

She was almost vibrating around Lex when she screamed
her impending release. She felt her fingernails as they dug into
Lex’s chest,
shit, she was going to have to apologize
.

“Fuck me. This is the best ever,” Ret spoke in a
strained voice, as if through gritted teeth.

“Oh, God. Never before like this,” Lex ground out
with obvious difficulty.

“Mine.” Lex held her face between his big hands and
looked at her as if she was the best gift he’d ever received. Then
he lost his expression to raw lust. “Keep looking at me,” he
ordered in a steely tone that somehow managed to arouse her
farther.

She riveted her gaze to his as he proceeded to fuck
her fast and hard, she grinned at him. The room was filled with the
sounds of moans, humming, and slapping flesh. The scent of sex was
thick in the air. They spiraled in a tornado of passionate pleasure
until, as one, they climaxed. Both men grunted and yelled out as
they jerked and filled her up. Then collapsed in a pile of boneless
limbs on the bed.

“We need to call Benny and Vander,” Jewel said
breathlessly. “They will freak if they find out the killer was once
again in my room without being told.”

“Let them know you are switching rooms,” Lex growled
and handed her the phone.

Chapter Thirteen

“Well look who is up and about already.” Jewel just
smiled at Benny. She was not remotely surprised he had found his
way into her new room already. Right now, nothing surprised her
about this situation.

“I’ve already ordered breakfast for us, but I made
some coffee if you want a cup.” Jewel was drinking her usual diet
coke, but Benny and Vander liked coffee.

“Yep, I sure do. So what has you so chipper this
morning?” Benny asked.

“Nothing, I just got some sleep. I’m hungry and ready
to eat, too. The sooner we get this over with the sooner we can
move on. I just feel good,” Jewel said and felt her cheeks
redden.

Benny narrowed his eyes at Jewel knowing that she was
beating around the bush instead of telling him the truth. She was
falling for the Alpha and Lex. Last night, although they did not
mate, they did get to know each other. After having sex, they
talked long into the night before having sex again just before
dawn.

“Do you want to talk about it or do you want to just
ignore it, because it won’t go away. They are your mates so you
need to accept it or reject it,” Benny said and then narrowed his
eyes when she smiled.

“Damn, Benny, I don’t want to talk about it now so
stop trying to spoil my good mood,” Jewel protested. She didn’t
want to share this with anyone yet, she couldn’t, for some reason
it didn’t seem right to let anyone know until she talked to her men
about what she was thinking. It had never been like that with
Josh.

“Okay, whatever you want,” Benny said and dropped the
subject, knowing when he pushed too hard with Jewel, she would get
her back up.

“What I want is to focus on the case, we have to
figure out who he is, and why he is playing games with us,” Jewel
said as her partner came in. They all had talked on the phone late
last night when she informed them about the new gift the killer
left in her room. All of them agreed she needed to change rooms
until they figured out how the killer got into her old room. So,
she had taken over Lex and Ret’s room while they claimed to have
taken hers. However, all they did was leave this morning before
anyone woke up. She grinned to herself when she thought about their
good-bye, hence, the second shower she took this morning.

Vander groaned when she handed him a cup of coffee
and he said, “Thanks, whew, I needed a boost. Long night last
night. After you called, I went and walked through the evidence and
waited for the reports. The blood on the first necklace matches the
blood from the first victim, and the ring matches the second.”

“Fuck, what is the deal with this guy? What are we
missing?” Jewel blew out her bangs in frustration.

“We need to get a handle on this, the guy is
beginning to escalate, and before the bodies start piling up, and
the Captain crawls up our ass, we need to have something to tell
him,” Vander said, sat down, and grabbed a plate. “First eat and
then we can get busy. The boss says we have been asked to remain
here unless another victim is found. The NYC Captain put in a
formal request to work together on this.”

Jewel nodded and sipped her soda; she knew Lex talked
about it last night, so it didn’t surprise her.

“Why is he so focused on Ret?” Jewel murmured
aloud.

“We have cleared almost the whole list,” Benny said,
with his mouth twisting humorously. “Even me.”

“Good to know,” Jewel laughed and looked at the older
wolf. “Something that keeps bothering me, I keep having this scent,
of Ret but not Ret. It has to be someone in his family. He says
there is only his father, I don’t know what that would have to do
with me, but we need to get a fucking handle on this. Benny, can
you look into this, too, make sure Ret’s dad is where he is saying
he is. Do it on the down low, too.”
