Chapter 39: Their Cursed

Cullen

There was a soft knock on my office door. “Come in,” I called. I looked up to see my beautiful mate peeking her head in the door. I smiled and stood up. She came in all the way. Calder pushed the door open and was standing behind her. I opened my arms and she rushed to me, right into my arms. Calder came in and closed the door as I hugged her tight.

“I missed you,” she said softly into my chest.

“I missed you too, love,” I told her.

“We are in a little trouble,” Calder linked me. I kissed the top of Remi’s head. “She is mad that we have been keeping things from her,” he continued knowing that I was trying not let on that we were mind linking.

“How was shopping?” I asked her.

“It was fine. Your mom told me why she wanted to go,” she said, raising an eyebrow at me.

“Oh,” I said.

“Told you,” Calder linked.

“Cullen, I need you two to be honest with me. I need you to not keep things from me. How am I supposed to be of any help if you guys don’t tell me things?” she said. She had quiet confidence in her complaint, and I couldn’t find it any sexier.

“You are right, my love. I apologize. We-”

“I know. You did not want to overwhelm me. I am telling you I am okay,” she cut me off. While I do not appreciate being interrupted, I couldn’t help but admire her guile at the moment.

“I am sorry. No more secrets. We won't hide important things from you,” I told her.

“Thank you,” she said. She reached up on her tiptoes and kissed me.

“I guess we should tell her about the witch then,” I link Calder. He nodded from his seat on my couch.

“Come over here and sit, baby,” Calder said to her. She turned and gave him a questioning look. “I think there is something we should tell you if you want to know everything,” he told her. She nodded her head and looked back at me. I unwrapped her from my arms and we moved over to the couch. Calder pulled her to his lap while I sat upon the small coffee table facing them.

“So, we found out some things about the curse,” Calder started carefully.

“How?” she asked.

“The witch we spoke to previously, she called with some more information,” I told her.

“So, she wants to help us?” she asked.

“That is still to be determined,” I said. She looked questioningly between us.

“We aren’t sure of her intentions at the moment. She says she knows Voldigoad’s whereabouts and is willing to help us take him down, but she wants something in return,” Calder explained.

“What does she want?” she asked.

“She wants to meet you,” he told her.

“Me? Why?” she asked, surprised.

“We told you, love, you are special. She hasn’t told us exactly why she wants to meet you which is why we have been hesitant to allow it,” I told her.

“What was the warlock’s name again?” she asked, chewing her lip.

“Richard Voldigoad,” Calder said. “Why?”

“When we were packing up my apartment, we went through all my books. I found a small series that I had a couple books from. I read it probably 2 years ago or so. The author’s name is R. Voldigoad,” she said. Calder and I locked eyes. She looked between us then crossed her arms. “I thought you two were done with the silent conversations!” she exclaimed. Calder let out a little laugh.

“No, we weren’t linking. We both just weren’t expecting that,” he told her, nuzzling her face to calm her down.

“How much longer until… you think?” I linked him.

“Can’t be long now, right?” he linked back, still nuzzling her.

“Okay,” she said, uncrossing her arm and smiling at Calder’s assault.

“Did you bring any of those books with you?” I asked her.

She nodded her head. “Yea, they were in the boxes we loaded up,” she said.

“We should go find them,” I said standing up.

When we got upstairs, we went to Calder’s room where we had her things taken until we could renovate. The plans had been finalized this morning, we just needed to be out of the room for about 2 days so the changes could be made. Remi looked through the boxes while Calder and I waited. Tonight, I was going to help her unpack her things into my room.

After a few minutes of searching, Remi produced 3 books from one of the boxes. She brought them over to us. “There are 8 books in the series, I think. I only ever got the first couple,” she said. “Do you really think it's him?”

“It could be,” Calder said, flipping open one of the covers. I opened another.

“Not a very common name…” I said scanning the publishing information.

“What are these about?” Calder asked her.

“Um, let me think,” she said. She started chewing her lip again. I wanted to chew that lip. “I think they are about a sorcerer who falls in love only for his true love to be taken away from him. I think the whole series is about the big, long journey to get her back,” she said. I looked at Calder.

“Sound familiar?” I said. Remi’s eyes widened as she realized.

“It’s about Rose Marie, isn’t it?” she asked softly.

“It could be. We will have to look into it more, baby,” Calder said gently. “This could be a huge lead in finding him. Great job,” he said to her. She gave him a warm smile. “Why don’t we take a look at these tomorrow? I vote we have some dinner brought up and we stay in tonight,” he suggested. He set the books down and pulled her over.

“All of us?” she asked delightedly.

“Of course, love,” I told her, coming behind her. We sandwiched her in between us and she smiled brightly.

“Or maybe,” he said quietly, bending over to her ear. “We could have you for dinner.” I could feel the shudder run through her at his words. Her reaction had me growing hard. I ran my fingers up and down her arms lightly.

Both of us leaned down and started kissing her neck, right around our marking spots. Her breath hitched as her head fell back.

“Someone owes me a shower,” Calder whispered.

“Oh please, yes,” I heard her voice.

I looked up and locked eyes with Calder. He smiled.

“What was that baby?”

“Mmm,” she moaned.

We both stopped. “What did you say love?” I asked her.

She just shook her head. Her cheeks were flushed, and the smell of her arousal was filling the room. “I didn’t say anything…” she whispered.

I smiled brightly and so did Calder. “You didn’t beg Calder to take you to the shower?” I linked her. She gasped and turned towards me while I continued to smile at her.

“Was that…” she trailed off. I nodded my head. She turned her attention to Calder. Her face breaking into a smile.

“So, we can talk over the link thing now?” she asked excitedly.

“It appears so,” I told her. She jumped up and down in excitement. Calder chuckled at her.

“Now we just need to mark that pretty little neck of yours and we can always know where you are and what you are feeling,” I told her.

“I hope they mark me soon,” her voice floated into my head. I knew Calder heard it too because his eyes darkened.

“We might need to teach her to control that,” I linked him. He chuckled.

“But this is so much fun,” he said.

“Until she links these thoughts to other pack members,” I informed him. He growled slightly.

“What’s wrong?” she asked.

“We are going to have to teach how to control your linking, baby,” he told her. She gave him a curious look before realization washed over her face. She brought her hands up to cover her face. We both laughed.

“I’ll go get us some dinner,” I offered. As I left the room, Calder dragged her towards his bathroom.

Remi

Calder pulled my hands away from my face and peppered kisses all over it, laughing as he went.

“It’s okay, baby. We like that you want us,” he linked. This was something I was going to have to get used to although I am sure would be especially useful. “Let’s get you wet,” he teased. He pulled me into his bathroom as Cullen left the room.

Cullen started the water in the shower before turning around to me. I stood next to the sink, waiting for him. He gave me a devious smirk. He stalked closer, his eyes darkening in lust. He stopped inches away from me, his eyes were a deep plum now. His look made my mouth go dry.

“Strip,” he said with authority. Bossy Calder was back. I did not move fast enough because he said again, “Strip, now.” I nodded my head and pulled my shirt up quickly. Next, I slid my pants down my legs, leaving me standing under his gaze in only my underwear. My heart started racing as I unclasped my bra and let it slide down my arms. I heard a low growl in appreciation coming from Calder as I slid my last article of clothing down my legs.

“Mmmm. Beautiful,” he said as he inhaled deeply. My thighs squeezed together listening to his words. He grabbed my chin and kissed me hard. “I like when you listen. Undress me,” he said.

I swallowed hard as my hands went to his shirt. I lifted it up, revealing his ripped abdomen. He had to bend over slightly so I could get his shirt all the way off. Then I moved to his belt. My fingers were shaking in nervousness and excitement, but I managed to undo his belt, button, and slide his zipper down. I pushed his pants to the floor, and he stepped out of them. I looked at his boxer briefs to see his huge cock hard, confined within his underwear. My fingers delicately grabbed the waistband of his boxer briefs and pulled them down. His cock sprang free. Calli was purring in my head.

His hand cupped my face, turning it up to his. “Do you like what you see, baby?” he asked huskily. I nodded my head slowly. “Words,” he commanded.

“Yes,” I said breathily. He gave me a devilish smile before kissing me possessively. I moaned into our kiss, loving his touch. He broke away and pulled me into the shower. He held me to him, the hot water running over both of us. “I was distracted all day thinking about the shower you owed me,” he said.

“I’m sorry,” I said quietly. He turned and got his soap from the shelf in the corner.

“Hold out your hand,” he said. I listened. He squirted a small amount of soap into my palm. “Now, wash me,” he said.

“Yesssssss…” Calli almost hissed in my head. I listened to his words and started rubbing the soap into his skin. His head dropped back, and he breathed in sharply. I washed his entire chest before he grabbed my hand and moved it south to his shaft. I gripped my fingers around him and paused for a moment before I started moving my soapy hand up and down. He groaned in pleasure.

“You are such a good girl, baby,” he said. He let me continue to stroke him for a moment more before he grabbed my wrist and stopped me. He looked down at me with pitch black eyes. “Time to stop,” he said. I nodded my head. “Turn around,” he said. I let go of him and turned around like he said. His hands came to my skin and he started rubbing soap all over me. He took extra care over my more sensitive areas. My head dropped back onto his shoulder as he touched every inch of my skin.

“You are perfection,” he growled in my ear. He stepped forward, pushing us under the water. He turned me around and captured my mouth again. His tongue forced its way inside my mouth, and I moaned at the taste of him. I was so wrapped up in him that I did not notice Cullen had joined us until I felt his body against my back. My body was turning into an explosion of pleasurable tingles. Calder’s hands held my face to his while Cullen’s began to roam my body. My fingers itched to touch them. I reached one hand down and one hand behind me. Both of my hands found their targets and I gripped each of them. Both of their breaths hitched simultaneously, encouraging me to continue. I slowly started to stroke them. Their hands gripped me harder as low growls came from their chests.

“I think it's time to take you to bed,” Calder said. I nodded my head as I looked up into his dark eyes.

The water turned off. I released both of them. Calder gave me a softer kiss then surprised me by bending over and hauling me over his shoulder. He carried me out of the bathroom and straight over to his bed. I looked up to see Cullen following us; his eyes just as dark as Calder’s.

Calder tossed me on the bed. They both stood over me. I looked at them with my mouth watering. All I could think was “mark me, now.”
