Unlock and Bind: (Maya Strom Series - Book 2) Read online

  “It was Amelie.” She says with a growl.

  “Fuck.” He closes his eyes again while we explained how we found him and where Amelie is now.

  Nolan sits on the other side of the bed. “Do you know where the man went after that?” Graham shakes his head and we help him to the shower so he can get cleaned up and dressed. We help him downstairs and bring in food for everyone into the sitting room.

  Beatrice stands up from the chair after she finishes. “It’s a day early, but would you like to have your appointment now, Maya?” She nods and they go upstairs.

  “How are you feeling, Graham?” I ask him while I take our dishes to the kitchen.

  “Like shit. Physically, fine. But I shouldn’t have fallen for that shit.” He shakes his head and gets up to leave. “I’m going to bed. Thank you, guys, for everything. I think I’m going to stay home for a few weeks.”

  Collins nods. “I think that’s a good idea. Get some rest.” He heads up the stairs and we sit in the living room. Nolan gets up and brings a tray full of beers. “I think I’m going to take a leave of absence until we know who the fuck this guy is.”

  I nod my head. “Yeah, man, I think you should, too.” He nods and we turn on the TV for background noise while we wait for Maya to come back down.

  She leads Beatrice to the front door and makes her way back to us. “Has anyone heard from Troy or Ross?”

  “Yeah, they needed space from Amelie and went to the club. They haven’t found anything on the phone to find out who the councilman is.” She slowly nods her head and pulls out her phone.

  “The two councilmen that left our houses alive were Frank Posey and Nathan Vermont. I haven’t seen either of them in three years. I don’t think they were with any of the men that we have run into the past few times. But it doesn’t hurt to look into them.” She sends a text to Ross and settles on the couch to watch TV.

  A few hours later, I watch as she walks into Graham’s room and closes the door behind her. I hear her murmuring something to him and hope he allows her to comfort him. I move around the familiars that have taken over Maya’s bed and lay down and go to sleep.

  The rest of the weekend is spent relaxing and Maya hovering around Graham. She’s laying in the hammock in the backyard with her long, purple hair swinging over the side as she glides back and forth. Her eyes are closed, and her features are soft for the first time in what feels like weeks. Her hands are resting on her engorged belly and her bare feet are crossed. She’s wearing a pair of one of our boxer briefs low on her hips and one of my shirts that’s riding up to show the bottom of her stomach in the breeze. I look over to the others that are spread out around the sitting area on the deck and hear faint screaming coming from the gym.

  “So, when is the sound proofing going in?” I ask as I lean my head back and close my eyes.

  Nolan snorts. “Hopefully soon.” He lifts his legs and places his feet on the table in front of him. “When can we get rid of her?”

  Ross clears his throat. “Once I figure out a way to contact this fucker. I looked up the names that Maya sent me, and I can’t find much about them. Frank Posey is forty-three, grew up in Montana, USA, and Nathan Vermont is forty-nine, grew up in California, USA. They both went to the Academy of Witchery in Seattle, Washington, graduated, and then nothing. It’s like the council just takes over and erases everything about your life after schooling. I’m still in contact with some clients and other PI offices that are looking into things in Seattle. So, it’s just a waiting game or waiting for them to set another trap.”

  We sit and stew on that and we all look over to Maya when she groans in her sleep and rubs her hand along her stomach. I jump up and softly touch her cheek. “Are you okay, Maya?” I place my hands on her stomach and feel the baby stretching out and kicking up towards her ribs. “Ah, it’s gymnastics time again?”

  She slowly sits up grumbling. “Yes, it fucking hurts when she does this.” She goes to walk into the house. “I’m going to change to take a swim.”

  Nolan gets up and picks her up bridal style. “Nope, you’re swimming naked. Let’s go!” He walks carries her over to the pool house and we all get up to follow. “Last one in has to take Amelie her food tonight!” We all scramble in and rush to take off our clothes and jump into the pool.

  Graham starts laughing. “Nolan set up and failed his own game!” We all laugh at the look on his face.

  He glares over to his brother. “How is that fair? I’m helping our pregnant woman get undressed!” She huffs at him and slowly steps down the stairs into the pool. She goes under the water and comes up and moves her hair out of her face. Her large, swollen breasts are bobbing in the water and I swim over to her.

  I kiss down her neck. “You’re so fucking gorgeous.” We swim to the deep end and I start circling her clit and pinching her nipples. She moans and starts rubbing her ass up against my cock. “You want me to fuck you?” She nods and moans and tries to reach around and grab onto my dick. “Ah ah, babe. Use your words.”

  “Fuck off, Mark. Fuck me!” Graham comes up onto the other side of her and starts kissing her. He moves her around and slides into her pussy while smirking at me. She writhes and moans while he fucks her. I roll my eyes and lean back against the wall and look to see the other guys watching with rapt attention. She looks glorious. She’s glowing under the bright lights, water rolling down her cheeks and her massive breasts bouncing up and down. “Yes!” She moans out while her body locks up as she’s coming. Graham slams into her a few more times and groans low and deep.

  “I needed that, baby. You feeling okay?” She sleepily nods her head and Graham winks at me while passing her off to Collins and Nolan. “Should have given it up to her instead of playing with her.” I flip him off and relax while watching Collins and Nolan have their turn. Collins slowly slides into her ass and she’s grumbling at him about having a horse dick. We all chuckle at her and then shut back up as she starts moaning out loud again. After they’re done Maya looks exhausted, so we get dried off and head back inside the house.

  Ross asks Collins to hand her over. “I’ll shower with her.” He winks and he closes her bedroom door after going in. Rolling my eyes, I make my way in and sit on the bed in my towel and wait for them to have some alone time. “I forget that you don’t have your own room here, you Maya hog.” I roll my eyes and slap him on the back.

  “Yeah, yeah. Fuck off.” I take my time in the shower and lean my head back while pumping my cock. I start thinking about how I’ll wake Maya up in the morning. She loves it when I eat her pussy. Fuck, she’s glorious. I come hard and finish washing up before walking over to the closet. “She fall asleep?”

  Ross nods and gets comfortable in the bed beside her. “Yeah, she’s out.”

  “Want me to take another room tonight?”

  He shakes his head. “No, it’s all good.” I nod and get settled on the other side of Maya and rub my hands across her stomach. I lean in and speak low to our baby girl. “Good night, baby girl. We get to meet you in a few weeks. Be nice to your mommy and let her sleep through the night tonight.” I kiss her stomach and fall asleep while playing with Maya’s thick, long hair, wondering what the baby will look like. I have a feeling she’ll be mine. After all of the weird shit that has happened growing up, this prophesy, and how my magic has always been slightly like Maya’s I have an inkling that we both have some family secrets to work out.

  We have a relaxing few days with everyone home. Collins and Nolan were able to have other administrators and staff cover for them, and the twins have only been gone a few hours a day. As we’re getting ready for bed mid-week, we hear a loud explosion coming from the front of the house. I rush out the front door and see smoke coming from the front gate and a few people holding their arms out and throwing vials.

  Collins stands next to me. “Do they really think they can make it through the wards?” He shakes his head and leans back on the wall. I chuckle and cross my arms over my chest. Gerard checks t
he wards every day, and all of us have set up extras on top of his over the months. It would probably take an army to get onto the grounds.

  “We hear the little bitch is pregnant! You can’t allow the child to be born!” We hear a man screaming at us. I wave at them and ignore their antics. Graham comes down with his arms full of potions that we’ve been making and stocking up on. He hands a few over to me.

  “Which ones are these?” It’s too dark for me to see.

  He shrugs. “I just grabbed from the shelves.” I shake my head at him and throw one as hard as I can towards the group. A big cloud of purple smoke rises up from the ground surrounding them. Ah, just Maya’s smoke bomb. We wait for it to dissipate and the men are covering their faces with their arms and are coughing heavily.

  “You can’t stay in there forever! We will get to her somehow. What about her little friends she has lunch with? How many people need to be hurt because of Maya Strom’s selfishness?” They give up on throwing pointless shit at the gate and I toss another vial at them. The firebomb lands a few feet away from them and they all get knocked over from the blast. I turn and see Ross and Troy hopping the gate and stalking up to the men on the ground. They quickly use knock out spells and take a look at each one.

  “This one is definitely Frank!” Ross says as he picks through their pockets and grabs their phones. I stalk after them and tell Graham to stay here to make sure Maya doesn’t come out. We help them bind them up and levitate them all to the back of the house into the gun range. Amelie is awake and starts screaming profanities at us.

  “Any of these men your contact?”

  She glares at me. “Fuck you.” She closes her eyes and ignores us. We get the men settled along the walls and chain them so they can’t move. Collins walks around to each one to incant some spells to bind their magic.

  “That should do it. Should we start now or let them stew over their actions over night?”

  “Fuck it. Let’s come back in the morning.” Collins wards the room and locks it from the outside and we head back to the second floor. I look over to Graham. “Is she still asleep?” He nods his head and walks into the master bedroom. I follow and we get in bed with her.

  “Maya, slow down and chew your damn food!” I grumble to her as she’s inhaling her breakfast.

  She glares at me and takes another big bite. “Fuck you, I want to question those assholes and you said I can’t until I have breakfast.” She finishes quickly and stalks her way outside towards the gym. I roll my eyes and I follow with the other guys right behind us.

  “Magic bound or not, they’re still dangerous. I think you should wait out here.” She flips me off and she lets herself into the room. Before Amelie can say anything, Maya flicks her finger at her to make it so she can’t talk. She giggles and stomps over to Frank.

  “You!” She punches him right in the face and is readying herself for another punch. I grab her arm and move her back.

  “Start talking, asshole, before I let her kill you.”

  He glares at us and spits at her feet. “You’re an abomination. The council didn’t give us kill orders until you landed in London. Your parents shouldn’t have even been on the mortal plane, and how they even managed to have you here and let you live is disgusting. Fuck you.” He’s telling us things that we already thought we knew.

  “Where’s Nathan?” I ask before he can spew anymore bullshit.

  He shakes his head. “He hasn’t been seen since he took the red head over there.” He nods over to Graham.

  “Do you have a way of contacting him?”

  He narrows his eyes at me. “Why the fuck would I tell you?”

  I shrug my shoulders. “You’re going to die anyway. Might as well tell us what you know.” He closes his eyes and leans his head back. I let go of Maya and she walks back up to him.

  “You have fucked up my life for over three years. You killed my parents. You have tried hurting and killing the rest of us in this room. You make me sick.” She shakes her head and walks up to him and snaps his neck with her bare hands. She holds two fingers on his neck to make sure his pulse stops. Cracking her knuckles, she looks at the other two strung up next to him. “Anything you can tell us or add?” They both shake their heads and their faces pale. “Well, neither of you will be dying today. When you’re ready to talk, you will.”

  Walking over to Amelie she flicks her finger to let her talk. “Still don’t want to tell us anything about Nathan?”

  “Fuck you, you whore! You’re a liar!” Maya gets down to eye level with her and nods her head.

  “Yeah, you keep thinking that, you fucked up bitch. Because of you, Troy almost died. Because of you, I almost died. Because of you, Graham almost died. You’ll be next. Once we find Nathan and bring him here, you’ll die with him.” She turns to leave the room and doesn’t look back.

  “You’re really going to let her treat me like this? Ross? Troy? I’m your sister!” They shake their heads at her and leave the room. I stalk out after them and ward the room and lock it before I follow everyone into the house. I’ll deal with Frank’s body another day.

  __________

  Humming to myself while I place some bread, lunch meats, cheese, fruit, and water bottles on a tray, I head over to the gym to play with my prisoners. Since we found out I was pregnant no one lets me have fun anymore. No combat training, no sparring, no torturing… Pussies. Everyone is either in the offices upstairs or replenishing our potions in the magic room. I waddle into the gun range and lean up against the wall.

  “So, who’s ready to talk today?” I slowly look over the three live playthings. Frank’s body was finally removed yesterday after Graham couldn’t stand the smell.

  One speaks up with a raspy voice. “I’ll tell you everything I know. Please.” I nod my head at him and sit in the chair next to the door that’s against the wall. “My name is Justin Meyer. I just graduated from Hawthorne Academy in Maine last year. I come from a council family – I had no idea about any of this until I became a member. They hide all of this from the supernatural community. Even my parents hid it so well.” He starts to sob like a little bitch. I wave my hands to get him to keep talking. “A few months ago, I was ordered to come here and follow Frank and Nathan’s orders. They told us that you’re the witch from the prophesy and need to be taken back to Seattle for your crimes. That’s it. I wasn’t a part of any attacks until last night, and I didn’t throw anything!”

  “Mmm. Okay. Next?” The older man next to Justin just glares at me and doesn’t speak. I nod at him and move my gaze over to Amelie. “Little Amelie, anything to tell me yet?”

  “No.”

  “Sounds good. Here’s your tray, Justin.” I walk over to him and leave him with the full tray with all the food and water. “Have a nice day!” I wave my fingers at Amelie and walk out. Collins goes to them at night and does a cleaning spell on the room and gives them food, water, and takes them to the restroom. Ross and Troy go in around lunch time, too, I think.

  I find Mark in the sitting room typing on his phone. “Hi, Marky.”

  He looks up at me with narrowed eyes. “Did you have fun?” I wink at him and go look around for Graham.

  “Sure, sure.” I nod and walk upstairs to find Graham in the library on the third floor. Fuck, I should start using the elevator. “Hey, you doing okay?”

  He looks over to me and smiles. “Of course, just reading through my books to get ahead for this semester. How far along are you?”

  I laugh at him. “Fuck, Mark and I could have tested out of Master’s courses by Year Seven at least.” I take a seat on his lap and close my eyes when he starts rubbing my shoulders. I moan and wriggle on his lap. I feel his deep chuckle through his chest onto my back.

  He starts kissing down my neck and lifting up my shirt. “I love you, baby.” He mumbles into my neck.

  “I love you, too, Graham cracker.” Right when he gets me naked and laid out on the desk, Ro
ss comes in.

  “Sorry to interrupt. We have a lead on Nathan.” He winks at us and walks out. Graham groans and helps me get dressed.

  “To be continued, beautiful.” He kisses me on the back of the head, and we go downstairs to the sitting room where everyone is talking.

  “I was finally able to hack into all of the phones that we confiscated the other night. Frank lied when he said he wasn’t in contact with Nathan. We have the number he’d been communicating through pinging to a hotel about ten miles away. I think Graham and Troy should stay here and the rest of us go do recon.” They all nod as I sit on the couch fuming.

  “Fine. But if you’re not back in a few hours, don’t be surprised when I show up.” They all give me a kiss and make their way out the door.

  “So, care to go take care of our raincheck problem now?” Graham says as helps me up from the couch.

  I smack him on his chest. “Sure, come on Troy, let’s go test out the BDSM room.”

  I clap my hands, excited to finally have some fun in there. When we get in, I turn on the dim fairy lights and make my way to the closet. I get into some white, see-through lingerie and forego the heels, so I don’t trip onto my ass. “Strip.” I command my boys as I stalk over to the wall filled with ropes and chains. I direct them to the bed after I pick out some soft, silk ropes and start tying them up and climb onto the bed to hook them to the canopy. I moan out loud and take a second to appreciate their bodies. Graham is a few inches taller than Troy and his bright red hair is growing out, touching the lids of his gorgeous gray-blue eyes. His pouty lips are open as he breathes hard and his abs are contracting with each breath. His long, thick cock is bobbing, and I see a bead of pre-cum forming on the tip. He’s more lithe than Troy is, but still has the muscle definition to show how hard he works out.

  I look over to Troy and his curly brown hair reaches the tips of his ears. It’s mussed up from running his hands through it, but it looks sexy on him. His dark brown eyes are locked on mine, and is pupils are blown out so far that they look black. His thick, broad frame looks amazing all trussed up for my pleasure. I walk over to him and skim my fingertips from his collar bone to his brown nipples, then down his eight-pack abs. I squeeze his cock in my hand and lick off his pre-cum from my fingers while moaning. I lick Troy’s luscious, plump lips and kiss his model-perfect, long straight nose. I leave him panting and walk over to Graham. I squat down and lick down his abs and kiss his crooked nose and his tongue reaches out to lick mine through his plump lips.
