Once Rejected, Twice Desired Chapter 43

Xander POV

Matt had found Francesca and was now on the way to get her. I have to admit that I found it hilarious how pissed he was with his encounter with Shelly. Matt was the calmest of the trio by far; usually, nothing could rile him up. But, apparently making him flirt with random females that he had no desire to spend real time with was the exception to that rule. It was still funny, though. Anyway, as soon as he found his mate, this little advantage of ours would be gone, so we needed to use it while we still could.

I was lying down on the couch in my office when Kade walked in. Since he had been taking care of everything for the pack the last few weeks, I didn't say anything. "Shouldn't you be over here doing some paperwork or something? Your businesses aren't going to run themselves," he said as he sat down at my desk.

"You're right; they aren't. But that's what you're here for."

"Not really, no."

"I've got to figure out what to do with Alexi, and Francesca, and whoever that Victoria b***h is. They threatened the wellbeing of my mate and tried to kill me, and somehow, they are all still breathing. Add to that, I've got to replace the best way to announce to the pack and my mother that we have a pup on the way, without them smothering Alaia to death. So, for now, contracts and permits can wait a few days. Besides, if s**t hits the fan, my dad can always step in to cover for me." "Alright. So, what have you got so far?"

"As much as it pains me to say this, I'm not going to hurt Alexi. You guys were right, he did a lot of stupid s**t, but nothing he actively took part in was worth dying over. Alaia should replace a way to help get rid of his wolf if she chooses to go that route." "He thinks you're going to kill him."

"I know. Let's keep it that way for the time being. I deserve to have a little fun, too."

"And what about the sisters?"

"Oh, both of those bitches are going to die. I'm just working on the when and how." There was no way they were going to get away with this. Especially Francesca. I had warned her, and still, she didn't listen. "You sure that's what you want to do? Killing rogues is one thing, but killing two likely psychotic and obsessed sisters for revenge is totally different."

I sat up and looked Kade in the eye. "You think this is about revenge? After everything that they did, all the lives that were put in danger because of them, you think I'm just after revenge?" I couldn't believe he thought that low of me. "It's my job to protect this pack. They threatened my life, the life of your Luna, and our future alpha. Not to mention all the warriors who could have been hurt when the rogues attacked, or when you guys went to rescue Alaia. This isn't about revenge. It's about neutralizing a threat. No one threatens this pack, Kade."

I could see that my words had an impact on him. "I apologize, Xander. I didn't mean any disrespect; I just wanted to be sure your head was in the right place on this. I'm behind you 100%."

"Good. Now, do you think we could get Alexi to replace Victoria for us? I don't think Matt would be cool with us pimping him out a second time on this."

Kade roared with laughter. "I was really looking forward to seeing it, though. And if Alexi doesn't want to help, there's always me. I'm slightly offended that I haven't been objectified as part of this operation yet."

"You're a good man, Kade. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if your services will be needed or not."

Alaia POV

After breakfast, I went and found Cassie for some girl time. I hadn't seen her or little Sophie in almost a month, and I missed them terribly. When I got to her cottage, I found her outside planting flowers in her garden while Sophie chased a puppy in the yard. "These are beautiful, Cassie. You really have a gift."

"Thank you, Alaia. I love gardening and having the scent of fresh flowers around the house. It really brings me peace. So, how are you feeling today?"

"Can't complain. I'm back home, and Xander is awake, so I really couldn't ask for anything more."

Cassie stepped closer and lowered her voice before she said, "No, how are you really feeling?"

She then looked down at my belly then back at my face before she smiled.

She knew I was pregnant, but I hadn't told her yet. If one of the guys had told, I'd make them pay for sure. "How did you know? Who told you?"

"Well, you just confirmed it, babe. But first of all, you smell different. I guess it's a mix of you and Xander in a way, but you smell like cinnamon rolls. I'm actually kinda jealous, when I was pregnant with Sophie, I smelled like hotdogs."

I had to laugh at that. Nobody wanted to smell like hotdogs for sure.

"Second, your already flawless skin is glowing and third... I see your bump." She shrugged her shoulder and went back to her gardening while I took a seat beside her in the grass.

"s**t, I thought I was covering it up pretty well. We are going to tell the pack soon, but we were just taking some time to celebrate together before we involved everyone else."

"I get it. But you've maybe got a few more days before your belly will be huge. Pups grow crazy fast in the last three months, so you may want to make your announcement here quickly." "I'll do that. So how have you been? I'm sorry I haven't been by to check on you since I got back."

"Alaia, it's not like you were away on vacation. You were kidnapped, sweetie. It's not your job to come check on me. We're fine. You just focus on making sure your mate and your pup are good."

She was right, but I still didn't want to forget about my friends. They mattered to me, too, and I wanted them always to know that.

Just then, Sophie and her puppy ran over, and both jumped in my lap.

"Hi, Luna! Where have you been? Is Matt with you? He never said if I could keep him or not. This is my puppy, Coco. You wanna pet her?"

She hit me with a barrage of questions, and I had trouble keeping up.

"Sophie, baby, give the Luna some space. I know you're excited to see her, but you can't jump on her like that, okay?"

"I just wanted to play with her."

Sophie hung her sweet little head and pouted. I was this close to scooping her up in a hug before Cassie looked over and stopped me.

"Don't do it. Do not get fooled by the cute face and pout, or you are going to be in a world of trouble when that cinnamon roll of yours is done baking."

"Cinnamon rolls? I love cinnamon rolls! Can I have one, too?"

Cassie and I laughed before she said, "Maybe later, much, much later."

Sophie looked at the both of us confused before she got up and took off with Coco again.

I hung around for a bit longer before it became clear that both Sophie and I needed to go down for a nap. I said my goodbyes and kissed Sophie's chubby cheeks before I headed for home. I took the long way back to the house, enjoying the scenery and sounds of my pack out enjoying their lives. It really was a beautiful area, and I was proud to call it my home.

While walking up the driveway, I saw Matt hop in his car and start it up. I waved at him, causing him to slowly drive over before he rolled his window down.

"Hey, bean. What are you up to?"

"I just came from visiting Cassie and Sophie. She asked about you, you know." I raised my eyebrows at him before I bent over laughing.

"Very funny, bean. You have no idea how much this sucks. Xander is actively using me for my body; I feel so dirty." He rubbed his hand across his chest like he was trying to wipe it clean.

"You're such a goofball, Matt. Where are you heading?"

"I told you, Xander is using me for my body. I've got to go out and seduce Francesca into coming back with me."

"Yuck, that does suck. Well, good luck with it, and make sure to take a long hot shower when you get back to wash off the smell of skank. I'd hate to have to avoid my best friend just because he stinks."

"Thanks for the advice, bean. I'll talk to you later." He rolled up his window before he offered a quick wave and sped away.

Poor guy.

***

My bed was calling my name, and I needed a nap more than my next breath.

I walked past Xander's office and ignored my urge to go in and check on him. He was an Alpha and didn't need his Luna hovering over him as he worked.

But I did mindlink him.

Xander, baby?

Yes, little one?

Don't overdo it today, okay? If you feel yourself getting tired, there is no shame in you taking a small break.

Alaia...

No, Xander. I just got you back, and if you don't take care of yourself, then I will. Please, do this for me.

Alright. I won't push too hard. Are you going for a rest? You sound tired, beautiful.

I am. I'm heading to the room now. Talk to you later.

I walked into the room and stripped down to my bra and panties. Since I'd been pregnant, I found that I could only sleep in my underwear or nothing at all, but I was sure Xander didn't mind. I slipped under the covers, and as soon as my head hit the pillow, I was pulled down into dreamland.

***

I am at your mercy, Mistress. Do with me as you please.

Holy s**t! Was that Xander as a submissive? This dream was going to be so good!

On your knees now, hands behind your back.

This was like watching a super sexy movie, but it was starring my yummy man and me. I had never had such a vivid dream before, but I definitely wasn't complaining.

I was wearing black thigh-high boots with a lacy thong and matching bra. My hair was straightened and flowed down my back, and I wore smoky eyeshadow and deep red lipstick. Damn, I look hot as a dom.

Xander did as I had said and kneeled in the middle of the floor and placed his hands behind his back.

I walked a circle around him and just took in his sinfully scrumptious body. Oh, I was about to dominate the hell out of him. You will only address me as 'Mistress' or 'Ma'am,' understand? Yes, Mistress.

Hehehehe, this was awesome!

What is your safe word?

Amethyst.

That made me pause. What was Xander playing at?

Why Amethyst? I just had to know.

If it gets to the point where you may get me to break, it will likely be Amethyst in control. So, I'd just talk directly to her.

Was that a smirk? He was smirking at me!

Ohh, dream Xander was being a d**k, huh? Well, we'd see about that.

I grabbed a handful of his curls and pulled his head back, making him look me in the eyes. Get on the bed, now. On your back. Once he was positioned, I opened my bag of tricks and grabbed some handcuffs and a pair of silk scarves. I placed the cuffs around his wrists and attached them to the bedposts. Then, I took the scarves and tied his ankles to the lower posts. I purposely made the bindings extra tight, making him wince. It was only a dream anyway, so why not?

I then flipped my bag over and dumped it out on the bed. I saw a small leather whip that looked interesting, along with a ball gag, some n****e clamps, a c**k ring, and a small compact vibrator. I didn't know what I would do with all of it, but I took all the toys and lined them up side-by-side on the bed.

Xander's eyes widened a bit when he saw what I had waiting for him. Do you know what you're doing with all that, little one?

I grabbed the whip and quickly flung it across Xander's inner thigh.

It's Mistress! Thwack! Or Ma'am! Thwack!

Xander hissed at the contact, which made me smile. I needed to dream like this more often.

I looked over my other tools of torture and picked up the n****e clamps.

I attached them tightly to Xander's chest and gave them a gentle tug.

How does that feel, baby?

They feel good, Mistress.

Just good? I asked, giving them another tug.

Ahh, they feel perfect.

I could see that. Even in my subconscious, Xander's d**k was pleasure-giving perfection, and it was standing to attention from the pressure I was applying to his nipples.

I picked up the c**k ring and looked it over. It didn't look like it would fit around Xander's girth, but it's my dream, and it's what I want. So, on it went. I shimmied it down his shaft and around his balls. It was perfect.

Do you really feel that I need that, Ma'am?

Did I think he needed it? Not at all. Xander could go for hours and never miss a beat. But I was curious. You need whatever I say you need. Are you questioning me?

He smirked. Again! What is up with dream Xander? It looked like he needed to be taken down a peg or two.

I pulled my thong off and threw it across the room. Xander Black was about to be my s*x toy, and I was going to wear him out. I then climbed up the bed until I was hovering over his exquisite face. Eat! I sat on Xander's face, and he began to ravage my honeypot. It seemed like dream Xander's tongue is just as skilled as the real one. He slowly swiped his tongue along the edges of my slit again and again.

My body was tight with anticipation; I needed him inside me desperately.

It was like he knew what I needed because he did the exact opposite. He moved from his deliciously slow licking to a gently suckling on my bud.

I dipped my back at the contact, pushing myself further into his waiting mouth. I began to wind and grind my hips on his face, trying to increase the friction he was so determined to withhold from me.

I felt a vibration in his chest and realized that he was laughing. He was enjoying torturing me. Just when I was going to get up and tear into him, he plunged his tongue deep inside my core and began to lap up all my juices.

I could feel that his face was covered in my essence, and that made me even wetter. I picked up on the rhythm of his tongue and began to roll and bounce my hips along with it.

He was eating me like I was his last meal, and he wanted to savor every salty, sweet drop.

I reached down and buried both my hands into his curls and held on tight, causing a deep, sexy growl to bubble up from his chest. The muscles in my body wound tighter, and I knew he was close to pushing me over the edge. My thighs clamped down on the sides of his head, and my breathing labored. I was so close.

Then he stopped. He f*****g stopped!

When I realized what had happened, I pushed myself back and looked down at him.

Untie me, little one. Now.

What the f**k was happening? I watched myself crawl off the bed and remove the scarves from his ankles before moving up and undoing both his wrists.

As soon as he was free, Xander was off the bed and had lifted me up in the air.

My legs went around his waist as he wrapped his massive hands around my a*s to hold me firmly in place.

He licked the seam of my ear before he whispered, "Now I'm going to show you who's really in charge." With those words, he slammed himself into me. This man pounded into me with purpose, clearly establishing his dominance.

The sounds of his balls slapping against my skin were ringing through the room, mixing with the animalistic moans and groans coming from our mouths.

I had wanted him inside of me, and now I had every single inch. Tears rolled down my face as he pulled out as far as he could then slammed me back down, penetrating my inner core with every thrust.

You're such a good girl for Daddy, aren't you, baby?

Y-Yes, Daddy.

He started walking toward the wall, and soon my back was pressed up against it. This just gave him the leverage to pump into me even harder. Sweat slid off my body, and my eyes rolled all the way back. He had never f****d me like this before, and now I was addicted. He brought a hand up and wrapped it around my neck, applying gentle pressure.

You're going to take all this d**k, baby. It's all for you.

My back slammed into the wall, knocking the little bit of air in my lungs out in sharp spurts. White spots began to cloud my vision before I started to c*m. I squirted all over Xander. He was now covered in my nectar from head to toe. I felt myself clench down on his d**k, making him squeeze a little tighter on my neck and pound into me even harder. My c****x was taking a severe beating, and it made me cream on him all over again.

Good girl. c*m for daddy. Give me all of it!

No! Open your eyes. Look at me, little one!

My body was becoming jelly. I was sure I was going to pass out.

I snapped my eyes open and latched on to Xander's.

He was covered in sweat, and I just had to taste him. I leaned forward and licked the side of his face from his jaw to his temple.

He moaned, then before I could register it, leaned forward and buried his teeth in my mark.

White-hot heat shot through my body straight to my crotch, and I gushed all over him again. Instead of the dancing white spots, this time, they were black, and they were moving in to take me out. I was done; this man had thoroughly f****d me into submission. A few more intense pumps of his hips had him roaring in my ear. You are so f*****g TIGHT, baby. I love how well you milk this d**k. He came with such force that it felt like a fire hose being opened inside me. I felt every spurt of his seed as it coated my inner walls and began to slowly slip out.

My lungs were an inferno, I was drenched in sweat and the mixture of our juices, and my bones felt like jelly. I was spent. This man had used my body so thoroughly that all I could do now was sleep.

My body went completely limp, and the darkness took me.

***

A bright light pulled me from my slumber, and I shot up in bed.

Looking down, I saw that my mattress was absolutely soaked in my juices. Their scent filled the entire room.

"Best. Dream. Ever!" I said out loud.

"I'll have to agree with you on that, little one."

My eyes darted over to the seating area, and I saw Xander sitting there, eyes full of lust, staring at me. "H-Hey, I didn't know you were in here."

He stood up slowly and began to walk over. I felt like the prey about to be taken out by a predator.

"I wasn't originally. I was in my office working. That was before you somehow mindlinked me and pulled me into your dirty dream."

Holy s**t! I did not do that. "You saw that?"

"You were a very sexy dom, baby. I loved watching you work. But we both know who's really in charge, now, don't we?"

My mouth went dry. I tried to swallow before I whispered: "Yes, Daddy."

"Good girl. And for the record, Daddy is willing to f**k you into submission whenever you need me to." He leaned down and licked my mark, making my entire body shiver. Then he stood up and headed for the door. "I've got work to finish. See you later, Mistress."

I threw myself back on the bed.

Ugh!

Damn these powers!

Damn these hormones!

And damn that delicious man of mine!
