Leifs Surrender

Chapter Seven

When Leif pulled his car onto a long drive that led to a large mansion, Jaden wasn’t particularly surprised to find he lived in one. Considering the car he drove, there was no question in her mind that Leif wasn’t hurting when it came to money. It only made sense.

Jaden stared out the window at the manicured lawns and perfectly landscaped flowerbeds. The mansion loomed in front of them. There were a lot of windows lining both stories of it, which meant there were a lot of rooms to be found inside. She could only ever dream of living in a place as rich as this.

As Leif parked his car at the front of a large detached garage, she said, “Your house is huge. You can’t tell me you live here all by yourself. It looks as if you could house a small army inside it.”

Leif chuckled. “You could say that. And no, I don’t live alone. I share it with my family.”

She blinked. “You all live together?” Growing up, she’d wished for a bigger family, but now as an adult who had spent most of that time living alone, she didn’t think she could handle living with a family as large as Leif’s. How did they get any alone time or privacy?

Once they were out of the car and walking toward the mansion, Leif said, “It’s not that bad, living with them. We’ve lived under the same roof for years. I’m not saying we don’t get on each other’s nerves from time to time, but for the most part, we get along.

Mostly because we work together as well.”

“You do? And what exactly is it that you do? You haven’t told me.”

“We’re in the protection business.”

Jaden believed that. Leif was muscular enough to kick ass as a hired bodyguard for somebody rich or famous. “You and your family must be doing well at it to live in a place like this.”

“Well enough.”

Leif pushed open the front door and moved aside for her to step into the large foyer that had a black and white checked marble floor. A large crystal chandelier hung from the middle of the cathedral ceiling. She’d never been inside a house this ritzy. A blond oak railing ran up the outside of the curving staircase that led to the second floor. It was definitely the kind of place she only dreamed of owning if she ever won the lotto.

With a small tug on the hand he was holding, Leif pulled her to a stop and took a deep breath. “Damn. Roxie is here,” he said quietly, almost to himself.

“Who?” she asked cautiously.

“Roxie. She’s the woman my family and I protect. I was going to introduce her to you at some point, but I wasn’t planning on doing it today. Maybe we can slip back outside before we’re noticed, and we’ll come back after she’s gone.”

Before they could move, a woman’s voice called from somewhere at the back of the mansion. “Leif! Don’t you dare go anywhere. I can smell the two of you.”

Smell the two of you? What did she mean by that? It wasn’t as if both she and Leif hadn’t showered before they came here. And how in the heck could anybody smell them from that great a distance away.

Leif groaned. “Too late. That was Roxie. We might as well brave the lion’s den.”

He led her in the direction Roxie’s voice had come from. It turned out to be the kitchen. Two women were there. One, who could have passed for a super model with long almost white-blonde hair, stood near one of the counters with another woman who looked to be about six months pregnant. She was eating a big bowl of ice cream. Her looks weren’t nearly as spectacular as the other woman’s, but she was better looking than what Jaden considered herself to be. She also had long golden-brown hair that she flipped over one shoulder as she watched Jaden and Leif come closer.

Leif let go of her hand and put his on the small of her back. “Jaden, this is my sister, Saskia.” The woman with the white-blonde hair smiled. “And the one stuffing her face with ice cream is Roxie.”

“Hi,” Jaden said.

“It’s nice to meet you, Jaden,” Saskia said in return.

“Yes, it is,” Roxie added. “I never thought I’d see the day Leif would actually find his mat—”

Leif jumped closer to Roxie and put his hand over her mouth before she finished speaking. “I don’t think Jaden is ready to hear that, if you catch my meaning.”

Roxie glared over his hand at him. She then yanked it away, narrowing her eyes.

“Not another one. What is wrong with you guys?”

“Take some pity on Leif,” Saskia said before Leif could reply. “He wasn’t exactly capable of following your list of rules because of you-know-what. He fought you-know-what until we were left with no alternative but to send him out to do what had to be done.”

Now completely lost, Jaden had no idea what the “you-know-what” Saskia kept referring to was. It was obvious both Roxie and Leif did from the expressions on their faces.

Roxie shook her head and gave Leif an exasperated look. “Stupid man. Why did you even bother? You know there is no beating the you-know-what. I told you one day this would happen.”

Saskia chuckled. “We all did, Rox. I guess I’ll go let the others know Jaden is here.”

She then left Jaden and Leif alone with Roxie.

“So why are you here, Rox? I thought you would be at your place stuffing your face with your own ice cream and not ours. Did you run out and none of the others would go to the grocery store to get you any?”

Jaden bit back a smile. That explained why Leif had come to the store and bought nothing but ice cream. Knowing where he lived, she now knew the grocery store where she worked wasn’t really all that close by.

“Har, har,” Roxie said. “Aren’t you a funny one? Not. Skylar was telling Beowulf about the new motorcycle he bought. Since he hadn’t ridden it to our place, he was boring the crap out of me with describing every minute detail about it to Beowulf. So I suggested we come here so Skylar could show it to him. Kye decided we’d all go in the SUV, because God forbid, something might actually happen to me while on his watch.

He’s going to drive us back this evening and then stay overnight.”

“Kye is just being cautious.”

“Whatever,” Roxie said as she put her now empty bowl on the counter. “I’m going to go see where my husband is. You can introduce Jaden to the rest of your family whenever you’re ready.”

After she left, Leif blew out a breath. “That went better than expected.”

“She seems nice enough,” Jaden said.

“She is, but I can tell she’s getting fed up with us watching her closer than we used to. But because of her pregnancy, that’s the way it has to be for now. Roxie is special and tends to forget sometimes just how special she is. That’s why we are here to protect her.

Shall we go see where the others are?”

“Sure.”

With his arm around her waist, Leif guided her out of the kitchen. He seemed to always want to touch her in some way. Jaden didn’t mind, though. It made her feel wanted. It also made her want him again. Just one little touch and he stirred her body to life. It was almost as if her body was trying to make up for the years of celibacy that had been forced on it.

As if Leif had picked up on her thoughts, his nostrils flared as he stopped her and crowded her until her back hit the wall. Jaden put her arms around his neck when he settled his hands on her hips and lowered his lips to hers. She moaned into his mouth, sucking on his tongue once it pushed past her parted lips. He pulled her closer. She felt the hard ridge of his erection against her stomach.

A loud cough had Leif pulling away from her mouth, but he kept her pressed against the wall with his body. He turned his head to look at the large man who stood a short distance away. Jaden quickly adjusted her glasses that had been knocked askew while Leif had kissed her.

“Can I do something for you, Jager?” Leif asked.

“What is it you always tell Daylen and me when you catch us making out? Oh, yes, I remember now. Why don’t you go get a room?”

So this was the brother Leif had warned her about. Jager was just as tall and muscular. He wore his long hair pulled back in a ponytail. And just like Leif and Saskia, he had model good looks. It made Jaden wonder if the rest of the family had been so lucky in the looks department.

Leif stepped away and pulled her against his side so they stood facing Jager. “I can see you’re going to use this as an excuse to get back at me.”

Jager chuckled. “I wouldn’t pass this up for the world. Payback is a bitch, or so they say.” He then focused his attention on her. “You must be Jaden. I have to tell you I’m happy to see you didn’t hoof Leif’s ass out your door. We’ll now be able to live with him once again.”

“You’re welcome, I guess,” she said softly.

“Come on, then,” Jager said as he nodded toward another part of the house.

“Everyone is waiting to meet her.”

Leif and she fell into step behind Jager as he walked away. Stepping into a large living room that had a big widescreen television against one wall, Jaden found the room full of people. All conversation stopped when they entered.

She had to do a double-take a few times as Leif introduced her. The rest of his brothers turned out to be super good-looking and large. Roan, Jager and Skylar looked so similar there was no mistaking them as siblings. And Roxie’s husband, Beowulf, fit right in with the rest of the hot-looking men. The only people in the room who didn’t have the supermodel attractiveness going on were Roxie, Ansley who was Roan’s wife, Daylen, Eli who was Saskia’s husband, and, of course, herself.

Jaden still found it mind-boggling that Leif lived with all these people—minus Beowulf and Roxie—and didn’t find it overcrowded. Yes, the mansion was huge compared to her standards, but with this many people in the house at any given time, you’d be running into someone at almost every turn.

Leif and she went and sat down on one of the couches, which were the only seats not taken. Once they were settled, Roxie asked, “So where did you two meet?”

When Leif didn’t offer up anything right away, Jaden answered. “At the grocery store where I work. I believe he was buying ice cream for you.”

Roxie shot Leif a knowing smile. “Ah ha. I knew something was up after you came back from shopping that time I sent you.”

“Well, I wasn’t going to be telling you, now was I?” Leif said. “If I had told you I’d met Jaden there, you would have just used it to ride the hell out of me. I really didn’t need that in addition to the urge driving me crazy.”

Jaden looked at Leif. “The urge?” When he stiffened beside her, she quickly added with a small laugh, “What’s that? I hope it isn’t something contagious.”

“Yes, Leif,” Roxie said. “Why don’t you explain to Jaden what the urge is?”

Leif stood, yanking her up with him. “I’ll show Jaden the rest of the house now.” He then practically dragged her out of the room by her hand.

She was almost running to keep up with his longer stride. He didn’t seem to notice that her much shorter legs couldn’t cover as much space as his long ones. He led her back to the kitchen and out the door to the back of the mansion. Leif didn’t stop until they stood on the grass in the center of a large backyard. It had been as beautifully landscaped as the front.

Panting from her run out of the house, Jaden said, “Can you at least give me some warning before you start dragging me around like a dog on a leash? Not everyone is a giant like you.”

He gave her a sheepish look. “Sorry. I wanted to finish the tour.”

She raised a brow. “Sure you did. I think it’s more along the lines of you wanting to get me away from Roxie.”

Leif captured her in his arms and kissed her forehead. “Okay, you found me out. It’s just…”

“It’s just what?”

“There are some things I have to tell you about me, and I’m not ready to do that yet.”

Jaden went very still. “I have to say that doesn’t exactly make me think it’s anything good. Please don’t tell me you’re married.”

“No, I am not.”

“Or that you’re really gay.”

“No! No, I’m not gay or bisexual. Believe me, I’ve never swung that way.” He nibbled at the corner of her mouth. “I would think after last night my sexual orientation would be quite clear.”

She shivered when Leif moved to her ear and swirled his tongue inside it. “Those were the only things I could think of that you might be reluctant to tell me about.”

“Since the thought even crossed your mind, I guess that means I should show you my room and remind you why thoughts of me being gay are completely unfounded.”

“Hmm, I could go for seeing your bedroom.”

Jaden lifted her face to Leif as he shifted his lips back to her mouth. He took it in a heated kiss. When he ground his hips into her, she felt just how hard he’d gotten. Her pussy grew wet knowing how good it was to have his thick cock inside her, stroking in and out. Even though she hadn’t ever had this much sex in her life, Jaden desperately wanted Leif again. If he pulled her down to the grass and stripped her naked to have his way with her right out here, she probably wouldn’t stop him. He touched her, and she lost all her common sense.

“Arg, I’m going blind,” Jager yelled out one of the open windows. “Would you two get a room already?”

Leif lifted his head, looked toward the mansion, and flipped his brother off. “I’m going to kill him.”

“I guess we asked for it, standing out here in the open for anyone to see.”

“Then it’s time for us to go some place where we won’t be disturbed.”

Instead of heading back to the mansion as Jaden thought he would, Leif took her hand and took her to what looked to be a storage shed at the back of the property. He opened the door and urged her to step inside. Once he moved in behind her, he shut the door again.

Since there weren’t any windows in the shed, Jaden couldn’t see anything. “I’m blind here.”

“It’s okay. I got you,” Leif said as he pressed his body against the back of her.

“I thought you were going to show me your room.” She then sucked in a breath when his large hands covered her breasts and kneaded them through her shirt.

“I will, but I don’t think I can wait long enough to have you. We’d have to get you back inside and all the way up the stairs.”

Jaden relaxed into him. Her pussy throbbed as Leif bent his knees slightly and rocked his erection against her bottom. She felt wetness leak into her panties. “I don’t think I can wait, either.”

“Good, because I’m going to have my cock inside you very soon.”

That just made her even more breathless. She let her head fall to his chest and rubbed her bum against him. “And I want you there.”

He brushed her hair aside and kissed the side of her neck. “Hold onto the shelf.”

“What shelf? I can’t see anything.”

“It’s right in front of you.”

She reached out blindly until her fingers brushed against wood that was about waist height. Jaden figured Leif couldn’t see any better than she could and was about to tell him she’d found the shelf when he dropped his hands to her waist. He tugged her sweats down her legs to her ankles. Cupping her pussy through her panties, his fingers stroked her. Not able to see, Jaden had to rely on her other senses. The feel of Leif touching her in complete darkness only enhanced the pleasure she felt.

Leif hooked the top of her panties with his fingers and stripped them down her legs to lay puddled on top her pants. He skimmed his hands back up to her hips and pulled her farther away from the shelf. She ended up slightly bent over. Then, with a knee between her legs, he pushed her to open them as far as she could with her pants around her ankles.

“Perfect,” he said, running his hands under her shirt and pushing her bra up and over her breasts. “Stay just like that.”

After giving each nipple a tweak, Leif kissed a path down her back to her bare waist, lowering behind her as he went. His hands skimmed the back of her calves and thighs.

His mouth followed the same trail, one leg at a time. When he reached the curve of her backside, he gently nipped the flesh there. Jaden gripped the shelf in front of her tighter.

A pounding ache throbbed deep inside her pussy.

“Leif,” she whimpered. “Now.”

“I will. I just need a quick taste first.”

Jaden practically went up on her toes when his tongue swiped her pussy from behind.

She moaned as a wave of pleasure swept through her. As he continued to lick, delving his tongue into her wet opening, she rocked against his mouth. God, did Leif know how to use his tongue. If he kept it up, she would come before he even entered her.

He gave her one last lick and then Jaden heard the sound of the zipper on his jeans being tugged down along with the rustle of material. When Leif rose behind her, his cock brushed against her entrance with nothing between them. He rocked into her, stroking his shaft along her pussy, the blunt head gliding against her clit.

Wanting him inside her now, she shifted her hips when he pushed in from behind her. The head of his cock slipped inside her pussy. With a strangled moan, Leif grasped her hips and sank the rest of his length inside her. Using her hips for leverage, he pumped in and out. Jaden gripped the shelf so hard the wood creaked beneath her fingers. Lost in the sensation of his cock impaling her over and over again, she rocked back to meet his strokes.

Their harsh breathing filled the small shed. As her orgasm built, Jaden couldn’t have cared less that they were in a garden shed with no lock on the door, where anyone who walked past could hear what she and Leif were doing. All that mattered was having his thick shaft pumping inside her.

Just as her pussy started to clutch Leif’s cock when her climax took her over, he half growled/half groaned. He surged into her one final time and stiffened while he too started to come.

Once she slowly came down from the sexual high, Jaden found her legs and arms were shaking. If not for Leif holding her around the waist, she wouldn’t have been able to hold herself up. Each time she made love to him, it just seemed to get more intense. If not for remembering where they were exactly, she would have gone for a second round since Leif’s cock was still thick and hard inside her.

He pulled out and straightened her against him. Cupping the side of her face, he turned her head toward him and gave her a tender kiss. “I think we’re going to have use the shed like this more often.”

She chuckled. “If we do, I think we should figure a way to lock it from the inside. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want one of your family walking in on us.”

“You have a point there. I doubt they would, but with Jager, you never know. We’ll figure something out for next time.”

Jaden blindly fumbled to pull her panties and sweats back up while she heard Leif doing up his jeans. “This was nice, but I was really looking forward to seeing your room,” she said.

Leif opened the shed door and guided her outside. Jaden had to shade her eyes with her hand until they adjusted to the bright sunshine. “I was thinking my bedroom would be the logical place for my tour to end. I can also show you my shower, which I can say has enough room for two adults. Maybe you would like a tour of it as well?”

“I’d love to see it, along with a few other things,” she said in a husky voice.

She ran her gaze suggestively over Leif’s body and landed on the still prominent bulge in the front of his pants. Before she could protest, he scooped her up in his arms and ran with her toward the mansion.
