The Seduction of Jac Frost (by Tatienne Richard) novel Chapter 123

< The Seduction of Jac Frost

What Did You Do?

“I really do not like when you do that,” Wilder commented as Jacqueline opened her eyes.

“How long was I out?” she questioned as she moved

restlessly against the pillows aware her head felt like it

weighed a ton.

“How did you do that? There isn’t even water in here?”

She gave Wilder a smirk, “sweat. There is sweat in here. I woke up ahead of you all, saw the sun was setting through

the window over there and could smell us all in the room.

Sweaty and sexy and I ran my hand over Bar’s back and

there was sweat and so I made a quick trip.” She looked to

the darkened window. “What time is it?”

“Nearly midnight. We all passed out around five or six and

you obviously woke up after eight and then disappeared into another realm. It’s really creepy the way you are still, don’t move and don’t seem to be breathing at all.” Rafferty complained. “A little warning before you go would be very much appreciated moving forward. We had a solid two minutes of thinking you were dead before Bar woke up and told us you were probably visiting your mom. Your mem,“11:45

Rafferty snickered, “as in the Queen Mother in another realm

instead of you know, popping into a house somewhere to sit

and have tea.”

“Do you sit and have tea with your mother, Rafferty?” she asked him mockingly.

“Yes, as a matter of fact I do. My mother loves a good cup of

tea and to have little cucumber sandwiches.”

A little squeaking noise made them all look to the headboard and Jacqueline squealed, “Beetle!” She extended her hand and the insect crawled down her arm to rest on her shoulder. “Beetle is going to stay with us forever. She is a tactile version of my mother’s realm, so I have a concrete connection. It feels good when she is near me.”

“She is tiny,” Wilder said quietly, “we will need to make sure she always has a safe place off the floor.”

“We will build her a garden, so she is safe.” She turned her head to Bar who was silently watching her with his nostrils. flared and his eyes conflicted. “You are quiet.”

“You are different. You came back this time smelling

different, changed and as if your entire essence is changed.

It has both Orson and I,” he searched the word,

“uncomfortable.”

Wilder leaned forward and sniffed Jacqueline, “I didn’t notice it at first but he’s right. You smell different. Something added to your scent. What happened in the other realm?”

“I am a very spoiled princess of the Queen Mother,” Jacqueline shrugged nervously as she studied her insect friend instead of meeting the eyes of her mates. It dawned on her she did this without asking any of their input. Would Wilder and Rafferty reject the offer she was about to make

them?

“What did you do?” Bar asked as he moved to get on his knees on the bed and stared down at her, his chest heaving upwards. “Jacqueline what did you do?”

“I asked the right question of my mother. We had a conversation about how I feel about not being able to connect physically with Orson. I asked if I was weird for thinking about having sex with a bear when I am not a bear.” The groan from Wilder and Rafferty made her look to them sharply, “she asked me if I had a bear counterpart and you as my mate could not physically connect with them, mate with them, be intimate with them, would you struggle?” 3/11

Rafferty gave a slow nod, “yes.”

“I’d try it.” Wilder shrugged as they all looked at him with different expressions. At Rafferty’s disgusted expression he didn’t back away, “I would absolutely stick my dick in a female bear if she was my mate because I would want to be

close to her.”

“It would hurt her. Bears are built differently, Wilder.” Bar

argued.

“I would find a way.” Wilder shrugged, “I would do anything.”

“Anything?” Jacqueline asked curiously.

“Anything,” Wilder insisted. “I would do anything to have a true connection to my mate. Were you asking your mother

how to have sex with Orson? Is there a way? How can we help?”

“You truly asked the Queen Mother how to have sex with my beast?” Bar asked in disbelief.

“I did.”

“Orson is grateful, Jacqueline, but we know it’s not possible.”

“I know. I can hear him.” She took a breath. Her intuition was

telling her that her bear, the name Callisto, running in her

mind on repeat, would only be apparent to her mate once she removed the veil of protection she was covering Callisto

with.

“But you don’t need to have sex with him.”

“I specifically asked if it was weird to offer a blow job to a

bear.”

Wilder coughed into his fist and Rafferty choked on his own spittle while Bar’s mouth opened and closed in surprise. She could feel the growl of approval from Orson in her chest.

“I see,” Bar cleared his throat.

“She told me I was asking the wrong questions. Then I asked

the right question, and she reminded me I am the daughter

of a divine being who can pretty much do whatever she

wants with the exception of killing off an entire species or

bringing back the dead. Necromancy is apparently not

permitted.” She joked despite the way the three men were

staring at her with curiosity. 5/11

“What was the right question, Jacqueline?” Bar asked holding his breath high in his chest. When she hesitated, a growl spewed from his lips, “Jacqueline! What did you do?”

“I asked the Queen Mother if it was possible to be a bear

shifter.” She stared at the insect in her hand instead of

meeting gazes.

“You would be a shifter but not a fae,” Rafferty cleared his

throat. “It’s why you were asking if you had a bear if we

would struggle. You asked her to change you into a bear

shifter.”

“No.” She shook her head. “I asked for the addition. I’m not

wanting to lose the essence of being fae. As she pointed out,

Bar is a bear shifter, and she gave him many fae qualities. He can teleport, he can mimic all of your abilities and he can heal. I won’t be losing who I am as a fae but gaining a bear

counterpart.”

Bar was rolling off the bed and pacing nervously, “Jacqueline

you’re talking about changing the very essence of who you

are. Nobody is asking you to change.”

“I want to,” she whispered. “It’s weighing heavily on me.”

“Because my previous mate was a bear, right?” he asked her bluntly. “That’s what this is about? She was a bear and Orson could connect with her bear, and you fear you’re not going to have the same connection with him she did because of that lack of beast interaction.”

“Is it wrong that I want my mates, which includes Orson, to live a satisfied and happy life? I don’t want him left out!”

“And now the twins will be left out because despite Wilder’s asinine comment about fucking your bear beast, it would tear her apart. So now they will spend forever wishing for a way to be intimate with your sow.”

“Not if they get bears too,” she scrunched her face up

nervously.

Now the entire room was frozen, and the insect moved from Jacqueline’s body back onto the headboard and ducked behind it as if worried for the response. “Coward,” she hissed over her shoulder at it.

“You are talking about us all being some kind of fae, bear hybrid?” Rafferty croaked out behind his palm which covered the lower half of his face.

She nodded wordlessly. “Yeah. I mean, it makes sense right?

We can’t have anyone feeling left out in our bonds. Also, if I’m going to be ruling over shifters, shouldn’t I know what a shifter goes through?” She offered up excuses with batted

eyelashes. She twisted her lips, biting the inside of her cheek,

“I just want us all to feel loved, including Orson.”

“Orson and I are so grateful but –”

“But what?” Wilder interrupted. “You don’t get to make this decision for us, Bar. Orson is our mate too and while unlike Jacqueline I haven’t been thinking of things like blowing him,” he shook his head in disbelief, “I have been thinking of the connection to Orson. Walking through the woods today, coming back from the spring, it was in the back of my mind about how I’d like to go for a walk with him the same way. It would be amazing to be able to feel what he feels when he walks, to crawl into his den with him, to sleep in his lair or to

make a new one.”

“You can’t be seriously considering this.”

Rafferty gave a laugh, “oh, not only are we considering it, but I also have a very funny feeling, Jacqueline already had it all approved. You have your bear. It’s why you smell different,

right?”

She gave a sheepish nod.

“And we will have bears?” Wilder asked with a quirked eyebrow.

She nodded, “the Queen Mother imparted to me that when I claim you,” she cleared her throat at their wide–eyed expressions, “like Bar claimed me, that it would trigger the arrival of your own bear. My bear’s name is Callisto,” she removed the veil which had kept her mostly hidden from her mates. Jacqueline noted right away that Bar’s entire arm turned furry and his hand enlarged into a paw as if Orson were fighting him for control and Bar was losing.

Wilder gasped, “she smells fucking divine.”

“She’s a bit randy right now,” Jacqueline admitted. “She’s been muttering in the back of my head about being mated like a hussy. She’s hornier than I ever have been and not a few hours ago I was almost begging to be fucked.”

“Bite me.”

The command from Wilder made her snicker at how much he 9/11

wanted a bear.

“You’re sure?”

“Yes. I want this. I am not upset in the least you went ahead

and asked for this.”

“I can’t believe you did this,” Bar dropped to his knees and leaned over the bed to clasp Jacqueline’s hands in his. “I can

hear her. Orson can hear her.”

“She wants me to claim you. She wants me to mark you as

ours, Bar. Can we do that?”

“Yes,” tears rolled down his cheeks, “yes, my darling mate.

Yes. You can mark me. You can claim me. You’re able to

shift?”

She giggled, “yes but I may need some help learning how to

completely shift. Maybe it can be a group effort? Bar, can

you teach us all how to shift?”

Bar nodded as he sucked in a shaky breath. “I would be

honored but can I say we need to do this soon because Orson is literally tearing me apart from the inside out. He is beside himself over this gift.”

“Then we should go outside.”

Before she could say anything else, Bar had her swung up in his arms and he was racing through the cabin to get her outside and Wilder and Rafferty were hot on their heels.
