Free A Love Worth Biting For by Roxy Mews

good, don’t I, Jake?” I wound my finger around my mouth before the digit popped inside my pursed lips. His eyes didn’t leave my mouth as I pulled the finger out oh so slowly. His cock jumped when I pressed a kiss against the fingertip.
    I was grateful for the pillar behind me, as my brain went to goo when he started to stroke, again. He wasn’t even aware he had begun to give the power back over to me. He wasn’t the one running the show anymore. But I would let him think whatever the hell he wanted as long as he let me touch him. He adjusted his stance and hooked a finger under his balls. The strokes intensified. Fluid leaked from his shaft only to be stolen by his hands.
    “Rub your clit for me.”
    I obeyed. Not because he was my mate, but because I wanted his hand to keep moving. I wanted him to go harder. The more I thought about it, the more my pussy contracted in anticipation.
    I was in a haze of hot, when a voice about twenty feet away poured a bucket of ice water on my libido. “Don’t make me kill you before we’re introduced.”
    Jake rushed to stand in front of me, blocking me from view of the voice. Even though I wasn’t about to continue cavorting with my mate, I had gotten used to nudity once I was changed. This man’s presence while I was recovering from a shift was nothing new.
    “Hi Daddy.”
    “You’re mated.” He sent a whole lot of emotional baggage my way with those two words.
    My mom had been killed during our turning. Daddy didn’t ever think there would be another for him. He had a Pack to lead now. I was the last bit of his human life that remained.
    To say I was conflicted about leaving the nest was an understatement. Daddy needed me like no one else had. Because I was older when I was changed, we leaned on each other like friends. Sadness, anger, frustration and fear formed a muddled cloud on his face. His eyebrows twitched. He was trying to keep his emotions in check, but they always leaked out through his eyebrows.
    “You know how they always say it happens. I got knocked upside the head by a two-by-four. Daddy, this is Jake Meyers, the lumber. When he’s not growly and possessive, he’s really a pretty good guy. He’s even got a really important job as it turns out. How about that, Daddy? I’m mated to a career man.”
    Daddy snorted. Then he twitched. His eyebrows started going again. “Why does he smell like…like…”
    “A vampire?”
    “Yes.”
    Jake had covered his privates. Guess the vampires weren’t as good with nudity as wolves. Or he just didn’t want his erection poking his father-in-law when they shook hands for the first time. Probably didn’t help that Daddy was fully dressed.
    “I am going to get a complex with everyone talking about my smell.” Jake turned toward me and his eyes gave me a caress that I would have much rather had from his hands before turning to address Daddy. “I smell like a vampire because it is half of my heritage, sir.”
    “You’re a hybrid?”
    “Yes.”
    “Wait, Meyers? As in the local Meyers Family?”
    I watched as both of the men in my life tensed. More crap I didn’t know about, apparently.
    “Yes, sir. And I know that as Amber’s father, that would make you Richard Paulson, Alpha of the Paulson Pack.”
    Daddy’s eyes found mine. His eyebrows flickered, but it was Jake who got his words. “You know of the treaty. I have a Pack to think about and my leadership in it. I don’t want to put us in the middle of a war, but I am having serious regrets right now about my decision all those years ago.”
    “I just shifted for the first time, sir. My control might not be the best, yet. Just a warning. Yes, we are mated. As for the treaty, I am not sure how far into the gray we are dancing.”
    Daddy came closer and reached over Jake’s shoulder to brush my hair aside and look at my matemark. “Do you know what you are getting into, Amber? Do you have any idea the mess you are about to encounter?”
    “I’m
