The dishes in Sheila’s hands smashed to the floor when the doctor came running into the room. “Damn, Doc, watch where you’re going.” She laughed.
“Sorry, Sheila, but I need to talk to the men alone.” He stood near Remi.
“Well, I know when I’m not wanted.” Jaycee frowned and moved to the stairs. “Come on, girls. Let’s leave the little boys to chat.”
Dane growled. “We’ll show you later that we’re no little boys.”
Jaycee laughed, moving upstairs. Cecil stopped to glance at the doctor, then at him. “Go on,” he encouraged. “We’ll tell you later.”
She nodded and went upstairs, carrying some of the dishes.
The doctor waited until the women were gone. Then he turned, placing a file on the table. “I finally have some good news.” He glanced at Tug. “This file was tucked in another box. Cecil’s file is extensive, and they started a new one. It seems the snake DNA does stay in the system.
Now, she’ll always have some traits. For example, if provoked, she’d be deadly, but as far as turning into a snake or passing anything on to a child, it’s not going to happen.”
Tug jumped up and leaned over Remi’s shoulder. “What are you saying?”
The doctor smiled. “What I’m saying is that every month they had to inject her with the DNA because the wolf gene kills it after a while.
Now, I don’t know if it will eventually kill everything, but every aspect of the snake will be gone in a month, expect for the venom. She will always have that as a protective measure, just like you two will.”
Clayton glanced at him. “Then there is no need for me to take the injection.”
The doctor glanced up and frowned. “Well, if what Tug and Rory 74
have told me is true, she’ll most likely mark you. I don’t know if any poison is released during this process, since I couldn’t get samples.”
Tug smiled. “Sorry, Doc, but it was too risky to have you in the room during the mating frenzy.”
Clayton moved away from the table. “I don’t have to worry about that.”
All eyes turned to him. “Why?” Tug asked, knowing something had been bothering him.
He turned to all of them. “This stays in this room. Not even the council is aware of it, and I’ll warn each of you that if word leaks out, I’ll kill anyone who did it. My father’s life is on the line here.”
Clayton pulled a chair out and sat down. “You all know my mom is mated to three men. Well, what no one knows is that one of my fathers is a snake shifter.” He held up his hand. “He left his family long ago, before he even met my mother. No one knows where he is or that he is alive, and we want to keep it that way.” Clayton glanced at the doctor. “So, you see I already have the venom gland, but as you said, the wolf is stronger. In my case, I was born with it. It won’t ever go away, but I have no other signs.”
Remi stood. “That’s how your father knew of this man?”
Clayton nodded. “When I called home earlier to tell them about Cecil, my father got on the phone and told me about him. His family is as old as mine.”
Tug moved forward. “You know Cecil is going to have to be told.
She’ll be too worried otherwise.”
Clayton sighed and nodded. “Yes, I know. I just hope she can accept this part of me.” He turned to the doctor. “What about the baby?
Did you find the file on him?”
The doctor shook his head. “No. I have a feeling that when he took the baby, he took the files on him, but with Cecil’s DNA being stronger than his…” He nodded to Clayton.
Clayton stood. “He’ll be like me.” The doctor nodded.
Mark came into the room with a blueprint and laid it on the table.
“I just got this.” He glanced up and smiled. “Oh, just so you know, Jaycee and Sheila are trying to talk Cecil into getting her nipples pierced. Jaycee’s even called Stewart over.”
“They’re what?” Tug ran up the stairs to the kitchen. All three women were at the table laughing when the three of them ran into the room.
Cecil glanced up, smiling. “Need something?” she teased.
Jaycee and Sheila giggled as he pulled her out of her seat and into the hallway, looking down at her breasts. “You have something you want 75
to tell us?” He reached up, pinching her nipples.
With her hands on his shoulders, she squeezed them and moaned.
“Um, can’t think. Oh, you mean about Jaycee’s friend coming?” She gazed up at him, a large teasing smile on her face. “So would you like to see them pierced? Jaycee was also telling me about the clit piercing, but I thought I’d better ask you guys on that one.” She giggled, as all of them growled.
“You will only get piercing done when we are with you. Is that understood?” Clayton grabbed the back of her hair, tugging her head back.
“I take it, then, you’ll be up here when he comes.” She laughed into as Clayton plundered her mouth.
Tug pulled down the front of her dress open, sucking one of her nipples into his mouth. The thought of rings attached to her nipples had him aching to sink his cock into her pussy.
Cecil pushed Clayton back. “Enough, unless you plan to start our night now.”
Tug grumbled, knowing they had to go downstairs and finish up.
“Call us when Stewart shows up. I mean it, Cecil. No man will touch you unless we’re in the room.”
“Fine, but I don’t know what the big deal is. He’s a professional.”
She moved back into the kitchen, adjusting her top before she went in.
“How the hell are we supposed to concentrate when all I can see in my mind is her nipples with rings in them?” Rory said as they moved back downstairs.
Remi laughed as they came into the room. “I take it Stewart hasn’t shown up yet.”
“Do you think we’d be down here if he had?” Clayton snapped.
Dane laughed. “Well, it’s obvious we’re not going to get anything done tonight. Why don’t we go over the plans and the recon tomorrow together? I have a feeling our mates are up to no good.”
“I’ll have to agree with you on that one,” Bo said. “Sheila is blocking me for some reason.”
Remi growled. “So is Jaycee.”
“She wouldn’t!” Tug howled and dashed for the stairs. So much for his supper. With the work out he was getting going up and down the stairs, he’d be hungry again before the night was over—and he knew just what he’d eat.
* * * *
Cecil sat facing Stewart, her dress lowered, as he gently held her breast, marking her nipple. She glanced at Jaycee, who smiled, nodding.
“Don’t worry. It will be a nice surprise for them.”

“Remember I’m next, Stewart. I want that tattoo you drew for me.” Jaycee held up the picture and showed it to her.
“Damn, that’s good. Could you do something if I drew it?” She glanced at Stewart, as the kitchen door banged against the wall.
Stewart jumped back and lowered his head. “Sorry, alpha,” he mumbled, glaring at Jaycee.
Jaycee stood up with her hands on her hips. “If you don’t mind, we’re having a girl thing. Now go!” she ordered.
Clayton, Tug, and Rory circled Cecil. “Didn’t we tell you we had to be here before this was to happen?” Clayton asked, glancing at her exposed breasts.
Cecil glanced at Jaycee, who went to step in between them, but Remi pulled her back. “No, Jaycee. Don’t interfere. He hasn’t mated with her yet. You should have known this could have happened.”
“What could have happened? What are you talking about?” Cecil glanced quickly to Clayton, but didn’t get a chance. He grabbed her and swung her up over his shoulder, stomping out of the room.
“Clayton, what are you doing?” Cecil squealed, as his hand came down on her ass hard.
Tug lifted her head up by her hair. “He needs to mate with you.
You let another man touch you before him, Cecil, and he’s your mate.”
Frowning, she tried to push up onto his shoulder, but didn’t get far. He moved into their bedroom, lowering her body down in front of him as he pushed her up against the wall. “Can’t wait and won’t,” he said.
Cecil held still and stared at him as he lifted her dress above her waist and separated her legs. “How? You said you’d talk to me first.” She shoved him away from her, lowering her dress. “You lied to me.”
Clayton snarled and moved forward again. “And you didn’t lie down there when we told you to call us!”
Cecil shook, she was so furious. She stepped forward, nose to nose with him. “Who do you think I’m getting my nipples pierced
for
?”
She poked his chest. “You three jerks. Those two dickheads behind you changed their DNA without telling me. I was at least hoping you would respect me and let me be with you.” She shouted so loud her throat hurt.
Both Tug and Rory moved up to Clayton’s side. “Dickheads! You called us dickheads,” Rory growled.
She turned her gaze on him, tears streaming down her cheeks.
“Don’t, Rory.” She stepped around them all, and moved towards the door.
“I need to be alone.” She slammed the door behind her.
Marsha stood in the hallway, shaking her head. “He didn’t do what you think he did, Cecil.”
77
How the hell did she always know something was wrong?
“What?
Yes, he did. I saw the fangs and smelled the mating scent.” She frowned, going down stairs.
“No, he didn’t take the injection.” Marsha grabbed onto her arm and stopped her. “He’s been too afraid to tell you.”
Cecil frowned, glancing up at the bedroom door. “I don’t understand.”
“You were in his mind child, think.” Marsha turned and walked away.
She sat down on the steps and tried to remember earlier. His memories flashed through her head and she stilled, coming upon Clayton’s father. No one knew of their family secret, keeping it hidden from everyone, including the council.
Cecil smelled him before he placed his hands on her shoulders, and gently squeezed. “I didn’t lie, Cecil. I wouldn’t do that to you.” He sat down next to her and glanced down at her.
“Only a few people know of this. We keep quiet because my father wants nothing to do with his family, and hasn’t had anything to do with them in fifty years. One of my father’s is a snake shifter. That’s why I’m like you, but I was born with it.”
Cecil glanced at him. “You were afraid to tell me. Why?”
“Cecil, look at what they did to you. I was afraid I’d turn you off.”
She shook her head. “You didn’t do this, Clayton. They did. I would have known the difference.” Would her mates always be afraid to tell her things that mattered? “I’m sorry about earlier. I really did want to surprise you guys. It’s the least I can do since I don’t have much to give you. And Clayton, don’t hide anything from me, please. I’d rather know the truth then be misled.”
Clayton picked her up and headed back upstairs. “Don’t you know you give us the world? Without you, there would be no Tug, Rory, or me.”
Tug opened the door and closed it behind them.
He gently lowered her feet to the ground, lifting her dress over her head. “I need you, Cecil. Will you have me as your mate?” Clayton stood there, not touching her.
She smiled and stepped closer to him, wrapping her arms around him and bringing him down for her kiss. Cecil didn’t say a word as he lowered his head, exposing his neck, which was just what she had been waiting for. Her fangs sank deep into his neck and he hissed, picking her up.
Her back hit the wall as he pushed his cock into her pussy.
“Ours!” He grabbed her legs and bent at the knees, pushing into her with 78
short hard thrusts.
Cecil released his neck, and leaned her head against the wall.
“Mine.” She smiled, touching his cheek.
“You’re a quick one.” He grunted, and sank his fangs into her breast.
“Clayton.” Her body tensed and she raked her nails down his arms. Cecil’s orgasm was quick and hard and came without warning.
He shot his seed inside her as he released her breast and howled, pumping into her three more times, placing his forehead to hers.
“Never thought of doing it against the wall.” She giggled, kissing his lips. “Now, can I get my nipples pierced?”
Clayton shook his head, and smiled. “Soon. I have two others I need to see too, unless of course, you don’t care to watch.” He teased, nipping her neck.
Cecil glanced at Tug and Rory. Each stood, stroking his cock, their gazes heated, and fangs protruding from their mouths. “Oh my, I would say so. Can I help?” Her gaze met his.
“Hmm, I think that can be arranged.” He slowly pulled out of her and turned to Rory. He moved so fast she was stunned.
Rory was on his knees with Clayton bent over him. “Cecil, honey.
Hand me the lube on the table.” He nodded behind her, and she grabbed it, handing it to him.
Getting on her knees, she kneeled in front, pulling his hair back.
“My strong man.” Cecil kissed his lips softly. “You’re always so quiet.
Are you one of those men who’d go wild if I were to push you too far?”
She lay down and scooted under Rory. “Let’s see, shall we?” She giggled, running a finger down his cock.
“Cecil…”
“Clayton, are you ready?” Cecil purred, and licked the head of his cock.
“Now, Cecil.” Clayton grunted and pushed his cock into Rory’s ass, pushing his cock into her waiting mouth.
“Umm,” she groaned around his cock.
“You are so going to pay,” he said.
Cecil pulled back and laughed. “Do you promise?”
“Cecil, quit teasing him and suck him.” Clayton ordered in a voice that sent her pussy quivering.
She gently grabbed his balls and rubbed them, taking as much of Rory into her mouth as she could. Every time Clayton would push forward into his ass, Rory’s cock would almost go down her throat, gagging her.
Cecil licked a path down to his balls, and sucked one into her mouth, 79
moaning at his taste.
“Cecil, what the hell!” he roared and she knew he was ready to explode.
Sliding her tongue back up his cock, Cecil swallowed him at the same time Clayton buried his fangs into Rory’s neck. Rory erupted into her mouth, sending his seed down her throat.
Rory tasted of nutmeg as she sucked him dry, and slipped out from underneath him, smiling, as he fell to the ground.
He lifted his head up and growled. She drew back and smiled.
