The Hybrids Secret (The Tormented Mate Series Book 2)

Chapter Two

*Emily's POV*

I knew we should have told him the truth. I knew he would seek out the truth eventually. I just did not think it would be this soon. I send a quick text to Braxton letting him know of Tyler's adventure so far. As a mother you worry about your children and always want what is best for them. Not telling Tyler about his past seemed like the best option. We did not want him burden with what happened to me or to ever feel like we resent him for what happened. Braxton has always treated him like his own. I could tell in Tyler's voice that he was still hiding something from me. I did not want to push him on it, I just missed hearing his voice. It is not long before I hear Braxton come in the door.

Wrapping me in his arms he turns me toward him. "I don't care how many plans Zack put into motion. No one will ever touch you again."

"I don't think it's about me this time Brax. I am worried about Tyler. He refused to come home. He said he wanted to explore more about his father and find where he stand in the world."

"I love that boy, but he is just as stubborn as you are."

"Me? Don’t you mean you. He has learned how to be that stubborn by watching you." I laugh at him.

"Did you tell him he is going to be a big brother?"

I instinctively place my hand on my stomach. "No. We just found out yesterday. After our conversation I did not want to put any pressure on him to come home. I will tell him a couple months. I want him to explore who he is a little bit."

Braxton starts to place kisses up and down my neck and slides his hands under my shirt slipping it over my head. "You know one of the biggest things I am going to miss about not having kids in the house, is being able to take your clothes off anywhere I feel like it."

"Mhm." Is my only response.

He uses his hands to unsnap my bra and I feel as one of my n*****s is placed in his soft warm mouth. He uses his hand to rub my other breast. I roll my head back and he picks me up carrying me to our bedroom. No matter how many years we have been together he still manages to make every time feel like a first. He gently lays me on the bed and strips me of my leggings. He moves his head down trailing kisses until he reaches the bottom of my stomach. He looks at me for a split second before dipping his head and finding my clit with his tongue. He begins to suck, and I grip the sheets tight. He continues between sucking and licking at my clit. Right before I c*m he stops and looks up at me.

"Braxton!" I hiss. "Why did you stop?!"

"Teasing is the fun part." He speaks.

He slips his shirt and jeans off and slides between my legs. He wastes no time in entering me. I cry out in pleasure and use my legs to grip around his waist, pulling myself up and meeting him with every thrust. I can tell from his breathing he is getting close. I can also feel my orgasm building. It is not long before both of us find our release together. He collapses beside me and I lay my head on his chest.

He kisses my head. "s*x with you will never become old. You amaze me." He says to me.

"I swear you can see what goes on inside my head. I was just thinking about how every time with you feels like the first time."

"I can't imagine how life could get any better than this." He says hugging me tightly.

Suddenly we both hear our house alarm announce the front door opening. We quickly jump out of bed and search for our clothes.

"Mom? Dad?" We hear Laura announce.

I am the first to respond. "We are upstairs Laurs!"

I can find a new shirt and get my leggings on before Laura makes it upstairs. Braxton only manages to put his pants back on before Laura comes up the stairs and into our view.

"Eww. Could you guys be any less conspicuous?" She says and hugs us.

"We are pretty sure no kids live at home anymore." I say back laughingly.

"Mom, it's Friday. Did you forget that me and Leah come home on Fridays for a family night?"

"That is today isn't it."

"That's why I am here. Are Logan and Tyler going to make it tonight?"

Hearing Tyler's name gives me goosebumps. "Tyler won't be joining us for a while. He is out of the country doing some soul searching. I will have your father call Logan, but he has not missed a Friday yet. Where is your sister?"

"We took separate cars this time. She had one more class to go before she could leave for the weekend."

"Do you want me to order Pizza or do you want to help me cook?"

"Mom, do you even have to ask me that? I would pick pizza over your cooking any day." She says and elbows me.

Braxton grabs her in a tight hug and laughs at her. "Watch out, your mom could always poison the food one day. We would be down one less kid." He says jokingly to her.

"You're hilarious, dad."

We all head back downstairs and halfway down the stairs the front door opens again. This time Logan walks in with his mate, Emma, behind him.

He hugs all of us. "Dad I have to say that the weirdest thing got sent to the pack house today. It was just addressed to the Midnight Moon Pack, no one specific. I thought it would you and mom would be interested in it because all it is was a picture of Tyler as a baby and a dirty baby blanket."

I feel my heart sink and Braxton and I lock eyes. Braxton is the first to speak. "Was there a return address?"

"Not and address. Just a name. James."

Braxton and I exchange glances. I mind link him. "It's Zack's sire."

He looks back at Logan. "I will look into it. Just bring me the package and don't worry about it too much."

"Dad, you did hand over the position of Alpha already. Don't keep things from me."

"We will talk about this more later. Right now, let us have a good dinner together. I promise I will tell you everything."

"Okay." Logan responds and seems to let it go. For now.

Braxton puts an arm around me and pulls me into him, kissing me on the forehead. He mind links me. "We will take care of this and everything is going to be okay."

I let it go for the rest of the night and enjoy the time with my children. Leah got to our home a couple hours after our conversation and my mind is at ease knowing I have most of my kids under my roof and I just spoke to Tyler earlier. I am hoping my nightmare of a past has not come back to mess up our future.
