Their Siren

Chapter Nine

Alexander

What had I been thinking asking Hannah on a date? It was such a human thing to do and I wasn’t human. Not even close and I had no idea what people did on dates.

A google search wasn’t any help at all, to human, to boring. Not good enough for my mate at all. Shoving my hands into the pockets of my black trousers I kicked the door in frustration. I had to think of something and quickly. I had maybe five minutes before she came down the stairs and she would expect me to have arranged something. Anything. Something mundane. Something human.

How could I be so in the publics eye and still have no idea how to act like a regular human man. Hannah deserved someone who treated her like a queen, who could arrange something as simple as a date.

Her perfume hit me first, it masked the natural richness I had come to associate with her. But as my eyes watched her move down the stairs, I couldn’t even catch my breath. She was so naturally gorgeous.

“Hi” she said a little uncertainly. Her voice husky, lower than usual.

“Hi” I echoed her because what else could I do., The sight of her had taken all of my words right out of my mouth.

“Do I look ok?” She smoothed her hand down the crepe like wide leg trousers she was wearing, I could see her toes peeking out of her sandals. I realized too late that my staring was making her self conscious when she really didn’t have to be.

She looked amazing.

But then she always looked amazing.

“Oh yes” My chuckle was throaty. It was taking all of my will power not to throw her over my shoulder and head to my room. A date behind closed doors sounded good to me, ideally with her beautiful wrists tied to the bed frame so I could go to town on her body without her pushing me away. I licked my lips. Yeah that sounded like the best “date”.

“Julian”

Yeah apart from him and the promise I had made to him, the first time we took Hannah to bed it would be with both of us there. Showing her what a life with us as her mates would be like. I couldn’t be greedy and keep her to myself/

Then I realized she had said his name because he was right there. Standing not feet away from me and I hadn’t even known.

“Have fun you two” He thrust a heavy wicker basket into my arms, before turning and kissing her full on the mouth, and my arms were to full to even contemplate doing the same.

Son of a b***h was doing it on purpose. Knowing full well I was acting like a tongue-tied teen on his first date. Well it was my first date, but I was far from a teen.

“A picnic?” Hannah squealed happily.

Now I was confused, I hadn’t planned anything at all. Not even anything as simple as a picnic. I had been tempted to get our assistant to book us a helicopter, but the thought of the gossip had stopped me in my tracks. Having Hannah here was dangerous enough without broadcasting it to the world.

“Yep, Alex wanted to show you our special spot on the beach, he thought a picnic would be a perfect way for you to get to know each other”

I raised an eye brow at him.

I had?? News to me.

“Ohh I love a picnic; I was expecting some stiffy overpriced restaurant” She laughed motioning to her outfit.

Then she was on her tip toes, reaching to kiss my cheek. “Thank you Alex I would love to go on a picnic with you”

“Your welcome” My brother mouthed silently before turning on his heels and walking back towards the kitchen.

Thank god for annoying younger brothers, even if they were only a few minutes younger. His days alone with her had just saved my life. She didn’t want helicopters and fancy restaurants, she wanted simple. To spend time with me as a man and not as the superstar. It was humbling.

“You had no idea about this did you?” She was walking at my right side along the narrow path down to our own little private beach. With the sun setting as quickly as it was, the path was in shadow, one wrong move on her part would send her straight into the thorn bushes. It wouldn’t kill her, but it would sting like a b***h and the thought of her being hurt, even the tiniest amount was making me angsty. I had no hope of saving her with this stupid basket in my arms.

“What do you mean?” I stopped so suddenly she was several paces ahead before she noticed.

“You aren’t dressed for a picnic, neither am I” She motioned to my dark trousers and shirt. Well hell I was totally busted.

“If you had made other plans you should have just said”

Why was there a note of annoyance in her voice? “Ill be honest the picnic was Julian’s idea, I had absolutely no idea where to take you this evening. Dating isn’t something I’ve really done before!” Oh, ever I added silently.

“You don’t date?” She was searching my face with her eyes as if she didn’t believe me. I shook my head. “Like at all?” Her voice was incredulous.

“This is my first” I admitted. There could be no secrets between us.

“Wha…. No way” She took a step back.

“Hannah watch out...” I couldn’t get to her in time, she tumbled into the gathering twilight. I had dumped the basket without even thinking, food spilled in every direction and I ignored it all as I rushed forward.

She was sat on her bum in the dirt, tears running down her face. It took me a moment to realize she was laughing. She wasn’t hurt. They were tears of laughter. In fact, she was howling at something like it was hysterically funny. And all the while my heart was in my throat.

“Are you ok? Hurt?” I couldn’t help the panic in my voice.

“I’m fine, here help me up” She was laughing so hard she was making the cutest little snorts. The noise just made her laugh harder.

“Don’t scare me like that” I reached for her hand. “You have to promise to be more careful, what if you had seriously hurt yourself like before?” a quick tug and she was over my shoulder. Laughter turning quickly into squeaks. “Promise me” The sound of my palm across her ass made the most delicious sound. She squeaked again but didn’t tell me to stop. “Promise Hannah,”

“Stop being silly and put me down” She wiggled, trying to escape. The only thig she did was put that round ass up, making it easier for me to smack. “Silly am I Hannah” I hit it three times in fast succession. “Tell me how silly I am again”

Her breathing was coming out in pants.

My sweet little artist enjoyed the feel of my hand on her behind. I was dying to dip my fingers into her to see how much.

I strode forward, her small frame firmly over my shoulder. No way was I going to allow her to walk down in the dark now. The girl was clumsier than I had thought.

“Alex put me down, I can walk” she was giggling, and panting and making little noises in her throat every time my palm made contact.

“Not without giving me a heart attack you can’t” Ignoring her wiggling.

My dress shoes weren’t made for the fine sand, I lost my footing myself within seconds of hitting the beach, her constant wiggling not helping my balance. I turned my body at the last minute, it wouldn’t do for her to fall with my weight on her.

She landed on me, a shocked noise coming out of throat before it was over taken by more giggles.

Her face was inches from mine, pink lips parted. I smacked her ass again, loving the way her breath hitched. “Alex” She breathed my name like a plea and my resolve broke. I flipped her so quickly I doubted she knew what was happening until she found herself pressed into the cooling sand, my weight held up by only my elbows as I gazed down at her.

And she looked up at me, with those round eyes and I knew. I would never be able to let her go.

Her kiss was chaste, but she kissed me first leaning up to me.

“Never gonna let you go Hannah you know that don’t you?”

She giggled, her head falling back against the sand. Her hair pitch in the darkness. “So, we’re going to stay right here forever”

“Damn straight” I ground my hips against hers, loving the way her eyes widened even more. “Can’t think of a better place” I wanted nothing more than to grind myself into her until she came apart, but I had made a promise. And dry humping her into submission would be breaking it, especially when I wasn’t sure I could stop at just that.

Hannah

I missed his weight as soon as he rolled off me, muttering something about his brother and promises.

“Sorry” He was muttering again, pulling me up so I was sat next to him, but he wasn’t looking at me. His eyes were on the froth of the ocean. He had a look of longing on his face. “I shouldn’t have done that”

“Done what?” I asked playfully. Hoping to lighten the mood. “Carry me Neanderthal style or spank me?”

He finally looked at me, and there was a dangerous glint to his dark eyes. “I think you enjoyed the spanking Hannah”

I tried to look offended and failed. Truth was I had enjoyed it. Had enjoyed it more than I ever thought I would. I was teetering between shame and being so turned on it was scary. “Hmm do you think so?” I c****d my head at him.

“I know so” He sounded so c**k sure of himself as he lent over me, his lips barely an inch away from mine. “It might make you feel uncomfortable, but it turned you on, if I dipped my hand into those ridiculous trousers right now, I’m betting Id find out how much”

I couldn’t help it, my lips parted.

“Maybe I should strip you of all those clothes Hannah and take you over my knee, right here” He patted his legs for emphasize. “Maybe I should spank you until you promise me the whole world, then slide my fingers into you, because you will be wet and I will give you everything you want in return” He was smiling against my lips, not touching.

My chest was hitching with every breath I took, as I struggled to calm myself. Damn he could talk sexy.

“How does that sound Hannah?” he pressed.

“Good, it sounds good” I whispered back.

“Good girl” He kissed my lips firmly before moving away, leaving me unable to catch my breath.
