CH 14

Rydge Rydge chuckled softly. “Our hotel room and the location of the van were perfectly lined up for us to view the search for you. It’s also why you’re scent masked like I am. And this alleyway is used. It will appear that the van didn’t stop at all. “Five seconds is all that stop was, and that’s not enough time to get a struggling, screaming woman, calling for help, from one car to another, and no others will be seen coming and going. This alley is only used for the hotel car park and trash collection for the other buildings here.” He smiled at her. “But Jess, this is where the fun really starts.” He smiled as they got into an elevator, and he turned to face her, caged her in between his arms and looked down at her, she was his now for the touching and tasting, and as much as he wanted to. “You just got snatched by rogues.” He murmured softly. She looked up at him a little wide-eyed at his sudden closeness and the change of tone in his voice, and his smile deepened. “Let’s have a little fun,” he practically purred, as he lifted a hand and trailed fingers down the side of her face, “Rogues aren’t going to leave you untouched.” He told her, and slid his fingers along her jaw, “It’s time for a little payback don’t you think.” He knew that him touching her in any way at all from this moment on, that her own Mates would both feel it. It was also part of the plan. “Don’t you think it’s too soon?” she murmured. “No,” he shook his head and pressed his entire body up against hers, “I want you to fight me a little bit. Make it seem like you’re fighting against the ones trying to take a piece of you.” He chuckled softly. Then he stepped back from her, “Forgive the roughness, Jess,” he stated and yanked her around and pressed her to the wall of the elevator and pressed his body up against hers once more, “Struggle against me,” he told her as he pressed both wrists into just one of his large hands and held it above her head. Using the other to slide down her arm, as she actively put on an effort to struggle against him, he smiled and ground his hips against her ass a few times, as his hand slipped to her breast and cupped it. She gasped in shock, as he caressed her gently, allowed his fingers to trail over her n****e lightly, and he picked up her increased heart rate. Then he just let go and stepped back from her. She turned wide eyes on him, and he chuckled softly at her expression. “Gotta make it seem real, can’t do too much to you, but rogues are going to touch what they want, how they want, uncaring you have Mates. That will appear to them your fighting being touched in that van,” he stated. Then he leaned back on the wall himself to watch her. She knew the plan was for him to touch her many times over the course of the afternoon and when night came well, she was his for the seducing in full. Because rogues would take what they want from her as much as they would any other she-wolf, being wolf-less wasn’t going to be of concern to them. Only she being a Luna Ranked wolf. That would mean it was the boss that got to have her properly for the first time, not his underlings that captured her. They could play with her and touch her, harass her but not have s*x with her. “Fit nicely in my hand, you do,” he smiled at her, and she had. Damned near perfect at that, he also doubted she’d ever been touched so gently by either of her Mates, and he was going to show her all the things he was dead certain, her Mates had never shown her. Only they were going to feel it in full, because, well, he thought they deserved it, a full night of pains of betrayal for all the times they’d allowed themselves to touch others and make Jess feel it. She hadn’t been adverse to them feeling the pains of betrayal either. He reached out and brushed some of her hair back, “You’re still happy to give them a little payback?” he asked because she was quiet right this minute, and he wondered if she was having second thoughts now that the moment was upon her. He wouldn’t go there if she changed her mind. He watched her shake her head slowly, “You just… shocked me was all.” she murmured. “Hmm, I’m planning on doing more than that just so you know.” The elevator opened to their floor, and he placed a hand to the small of her back and escorted her from it to their room. Where he knew there was a fully laid out lunch waiting for them. “I ordered food. Let’s eat, you’ll be in that van for at least an hour or two.” He chuckled softly. He pulled a chair out for her, and she raised an eyebrow at him. He smiled, she really wasn’t used to anyone doing anything for her that was respectful. “I did say you’d get full respect. I meant that.” he told her. Rydge watched her slip that satchel from her shoulder and hang it over the back of the chair before sitting down. He lifted the covers off the food and sat down himself. He knew what she liked to eat, had watched her for a month before interacting with her. “I’ll have to place silver on you at some point to cut you from those that come looking for you and try using that pack tether to see if you’re local.” “Alright.” She nodded as she looked at the food. “How’d you know what I like to eat?” “I paid attention while watching you, and then when we had lunches in that café and here in this hotel’s restaurant over the past few months while we prepped for this very moment.” Rydge told her simply. It wasn’t hard to learn about someone and their food preferences, likes or dislikes for anything at all to be honest. Her Mates knew nothing at all because they didn’t care. He likely knew more about Jess than anyone inside that pack where she’d grown up, and he’d only known her for three months. “What do you think your Mates are doing right now?” he asked with a bit of a smirk. “Hmm, I don’t know, likely cursing me out for letting another touch me. I don’t know if Eve would have reported it yet. It’s only been what?” she looked at her watch “10 minutes. Eve could well still be debating calling the Alpha.” “Your Mates though… they’ll call Eve, I imagine.” “Hmm, if they’re able to. Luna Stephanie can be harsh at times. It’s entirely possible she put them sons of hers on the shaming post after what I said this morning.” “Oh, now that is some food for thought. Everyone would have seen them suffer just now,” he chuckled softly. “If that’s the case, then someone is going to call you to find out what is going on if Eve doesn’t call the Alpha or Luna,” Rydge smiled. “It won’t go through, Eve and I had words before I left work. She snatched my phone from me and crushed it to stop me sending the Luna a message about how much Eve dislikes me and wants to bed the heirs to the pack.” Jess smiled. “Eve has my phone.” Rydge laughed now as he leaned back in that chair and thought about that. He’d installed more cameras throughout the Auction House, they’d already had a system there, but he’d wanted all areas covered to make sure Jess was safe. “Did you tell the Alpha and Luna about them touching others, and you getting hit with pains of betrayal this morning?” he asked thoughtfully. “No, I just asked them to Alpha Order the truth out of their sons about how they treated me, including the marking and mating.” She stated though there was something in her voice that was off about those last five words. He shook his head a little as he understood what it was. They’d not even cared to do that properly, in other words. Cruel bastards they were. “If they do, those boys will have to be punished,” Rydge stated thoughtfully, “if, of course, the leadership is worthy of reigning over a pack.” “I’ve never had trouble with the Alpha, Beta or his Luna, they always smile at me are nice to me, just…” Jess shrugged. “Had me mated to their sons without much thought as to what I wanted.” “Hmm, that’s because one between two doesn’t come along often and the mate bond should have created a true bond and you three should have become happy and loved up. Those were her thoughts on the matter, likely also your Alpha and Beta. “They probably did it with good intentions but didn’t know the true intentions of their own boys. If they’d treated you well, and actually allowed the mate bond to form properly, they’d have loved you in a matter of weeks. Which would have seen everything between the three of you be fine, I imagine,” he stated, because that was normally how it would go. “Never going to happen,” she murmured. “They didn’t like me in school, didn’t like me when scenting me out and will never like me. Told Eve and the others not to worry about watching me at all, because who would snatch a fat wolf-less girl.” He nodded. “I could have that footage all collected and sent to your Luna and Alpha anonymously Add a little message of my own, along the lines of ‘I see the heirs to the pack don’t want their Luna, so I’ll take her for myself, sell her to the highest bidder.’ Show them just how lacking those around you and were supposed to protect you are.” He smiled. They finished lunch, and he sat and pulled up today’s footage of Jess’ office and actually got to see and hear what went between her and Eve. He shook his head, “She really is a b***h, isn’t she?” “Hmm.” Had been Jess’ only response. Rydge looked at her after he cropped it to what he wanted and saved it to a USB, then got up and walked over to where she was sitting on the couch with her new phone. She looked up at him questioningly, and he leaned down and kissed her hard, pressing his lips to hers but not invading her mouth, and then ran a hand up her thigh and grabbed her ass, moved his mouth to her neck and bit it a little roughly before kissing it hard and hungry like. He smelled a little desire roll off her and his lips curved into a smile against her skin, and then he got up and winked at her, before walking away back to his chair. Leaving her there a little stunned, he knew by his sudden actions. This was actually fun for him, he realized.
