Auctioned Mates Revenge
Chapter 49

Matt's

POV

After four rounds of blackjack, I was certain Grace and I had scraped the rumor mill about Justin's habits, tastes, problems, and latest triumphs. As far as I was concerned, it was about time to find Renda and get out of here.

I hadn't seen her since she'd left the man standing at the craps table and headed towards the bathroom. The man had continued to mill about playing a few rounds at random tables here and there, but Renda never returned to him.

The group of men who had sat at the table with me to play were the type to bet large out of arrogance and relied on their connections with Justin to ensure the dealer would cooperate. They lost a great deal and seemed a bit put off with it. The dealer seemed to be working on my side simply because Grace seemed comfortable with me.

I'd have to tell Renda that she was right about me needing more than just money and a plan to make everything go smoothly.

I cashed out the last round and helped Grace stand before getting to my feet. Grace looked up at me with a curious smile. "What is it?"

"You are the only man whose lap I have ever sat in that didn't get handsy or hard," her eyes twinkled with mischief as she leaned up to whisper, "I suppose Renda is quite the hard act to follow."

I looked down at her, "What do you know?"

She smiled and shrugged her shoulders, "Nothing if you've told her nothing."

There was no way Grace could know that Renda was my mate unless I was that obvious and I prided myself on not being that obvious. I offered her my arm and led her away from the table as my eyes fell on Mordecai leaning much too close to Renda and looming over her.

Fury filled me. Lucas howled, growling and ready to rip his throat out.

How dare he put his filthy hand on my mate! Lucas growled, We kill him now. Now. Now. Now!

I clenched my fist as Mordecai released her and she turned to me. Our eyes met as she smiled at me warmly, gliding towards me. Mordecai prowled after her with his eyes drifting over to Grace as he spoke.

The son of a bitch had the nerve to smile at me. I couldn't hear what he was saying and it was probably for the best. I was sure it would force me to kill him. Then, Renda wrapped her arms around mine and leaned into me.

"Any chance you're in a mood to pick up where we left off earlier still?" She asked, her eyes were a bit panicked. She looked a little paler than earlier, but her tone was suggestive. "I think we should test your theory about if Grace matches."

I smirked as Mordecai went still and turned my gaze on Grace whose face had filled with a flush as she turned her head.

"You two are... insatiable. Honestly. Here? In front of Alpha Mordecai?"

Matt chuckled, "Forgive me, I'm young and have two beautiful women on my arms."

Mordecai cracked a smile as if he'd rather be growling at me. His gaze jumped between Renda and Grace.

"Nothing to forgive. I'm not that old myself. You enjoy your night, little Matt."

He stepped aside with a predator's stillness and I led Grace by the waist past him with a murmured farewell. We reached the front doors and the car pulled up. I helped both of them into the car before climbing in and closing the door behind me. Mordecai was standing in the doorway with a dark expression as we pulled away from the curb.

He looked like he wanted to kill me.

If I thought it was the best means to an end, I might have provoked him into a fight, but it was better to let his fury fester. I glanced to the rearview mirror and noted that the driver was not the driver we had on the way over. I pulled out my phone and saw the message from the security force's head.

Driver replacement. No threat.

Mordecai had my driver replaced to spy on me. I was pissed off enough to provoke him a bit more. No doubt the man had tapped the car to listen to us in the backseat.

I smirked, pushing my anger down and turning on Grace, "What do you think of starting that test up now?"

Renda's eyes widened just slightly. Grace's eyes jumped from me to the rearview mirror as she worried her lip.

"Driver, roll up the partition," I said, sliding closer to Grace and looking over at Renda. "Be a good girl, Renda, and keep your hands to yourself." Posted by FindNovel.net "Well, I... there's something I'm supposed to be telling you."

I hummed, pulling Grace closer so she gasped as I lifted one of her legs over my lap to slowly pull the hem of the dress up.

"Later," I said. "You've made me curious."

The car turned a bit hard, sliding Grace closer to me and my hand further up her dress. She gasped. Her eyes were wide as she looked up at me.

"You really are quite beautiful in this dress. I can see why Renda was so distracted."

Renda scoffed, "T-That is not-"

I pulled her up against me and into my lap so Grace faced her and I hitched her dress up a little higher. Her thighs quaked as I growled into her neck.

"Don't lie, doesn't she look good like this? Nervous and excited? She's trembling, you know?"

Renda's face turned red as she looked at me. I couldn't tell if she was a bit turned on by the sight of Grace splayed in my lap or embarrassed by the show we were going to put on for Mordecai's listening ears.

My gaze dropped to Renda's arm where the faintest bruise had started to appear beneath her skin. Fury filled me. Normally, I wouldn't have even considered doing this, but Mordecai had crossed a line.

He had put a mark on my mate. I hoped the fucker was listening in, grinding his teeth and seething at the thought of me having what he couldn't.

It was almost tempting enough to have what he wanted, but the thought of sleeping with Grace wasn't appealing to me.

"Grace," I whispered against her ear, barely loud enough for anyone to hear. "I like it loud, and since Renda started this, she should be soaked by the time we get back. Understand?"

Grace gasped, nodding minutely. Renda's eyes widened looking between me and Grace. I slipped my hand up her throat to grasp her jaw gently.

"Don't hold back, sweetheart. I'm sure the driver will need something to think about later."

I slipped my hand under her dress and hiked enough to get my hand between her legs. Grace gasped as my palm barely grazed her and I stroked her inner thigh.

She let out a low keening moan and twisted.

"Now, now, Grace, be good," I said, staring at Renda. Her eyes were wide, taking in every twist and tremor wracking Grace's body. She was a brilliant actress. I could feel her body heat rising as she started to pant and I moved my hand against her thigh. It was a bit terrifying to think how many times before she'd faked enjoying a man's hands on her. Was Renda this good of an actress? Would I know when we finally got to that point?

Grace moaned, throwing her head back.

"Another?"

"Y-Yeah, oh... please. Right-"

Renda's flushed grew darker. Her eyes grew wider as she watched. She seemed hungry as she looked between me and Grace. Grace's hand came up to pull at my hand and to grab my wrist to stop me and I laughed, a bit turned on and delirious with a vindictive joy. "Grace, be good."

"Bu-But... I-I can't..."

"Yes, you can," I whispered in her ear. "Just once before we get to the hotel. Just once."

Renda closed her lips. Her stare was dark and as if from far away, she whispered, "Just once."

Grace gasped, stilling in my arms. My lips twitched, "You heard her. You're going to say no to your new best friend?"

Grace let out a low moan and turned her head, barely gasping. I craned my head to meet her eyes, looking for a sign of distress or fear, but there was nothing but heat in her eyes.

I felt a surge of arousal running through me. It had been a while since I had felt aroused by much of anything besides Renda.

"Let him," Renda said softly.

I wondered if she thought I was fingering Grace in front of her. Was she excited by the thought? The suspicion made my blood rush south and her eyes widened as he no doubt felt my erection under.

She turned sharply and cried out as the car pulled to a stop. I heard the faintest gasp and the sound of a call disconnecting and knew Mordecai would be seething for weeks.
