Tempting The Beast(24)

“Well, give Callan time and you’ll like it even less,” Sherra chuckled. “He’s bossy and arrogant. We love

him, but he’s hell on the nerves.”

“What about the bed?” Merinus followed the dimly lit stairs, close on Sherra’s heels as they curved and

led into a large open cavern.

The stone room was brightly lit, with assorted tables, computers, bright lights and complicated machines.

“Where’s Frankenstein?” she sighed, coming to a halt and staring around in amazement.

“I told you, he’s on his way.” Laughter echoed in Sherra’s voice. “Come on, meet Doc and we’ll get

those samples we need.”

Samples. Blood samples, saliva, even a swab of her vagina. Merinus lay back on the flat bed, a sheet

covering her, her body damp with sweat. Sherra, Dawn and the grandfatherly doctor moved around her

constantly. Even her sweat was being tested. It wasn’t comfortable, but compared to the raging lust

zinging through her, it wasn’t bothersome.

“Okay, I’m ready for the antidote now,” Merinus stated when she began to feel the deep, hard

contractions of her womb, coinciding with the hard, throbbing pulse that attacked her vagina. “Time to do

something here, guys.”

Doctor Martin was bent over a complicated microscope, computers and gadgets whirring as he pressed

in several commands to the keyboard, raised his head and checked his readout. He sighed, shaking his

head.

“Doc?” Sherra stood at his side, reading the display on the computer screen herself.

“A mating,” the doctor muttered, running his hand through his thinning gray hair as he glanced up at

Sherra. “Look at the results of combining his sperm with her vaginal secretions.”

“Okay, it’s now time to explain to Merinus.” She heard the waver in her own voice and admitted to the

fear that was becoming impossible to hold at bay.

What did she really know about these people? They could be dangerous. This could be some elaborate

show for their own experiments. She felt her body tremble, not just with lust, but with trepidation.

“It’s okay, Merinus,” Dawn assured her, her voice soft, hesitant. “No one’s going to hurt you. I’m

certain Doc and Sherra are almost finished.”

Merinus looked up at the other woman, seeing sympathy, shadows of nightmares and pain in her dark,

whisky brown eyes.

“I think its time to call in the Amazing Seven,” she whispered, thinking of her brothers. They could fix

anything. “My brothers,” she explained to Dawn’s confused look. “They’ll be really pissed over this. I’ve

really stepped into it this time.”

Kane, hard-nosed asshole that he was, would scream and yell at her, then he would likely kill Callan.

Maybe that wouldn’t be the smartest route, at least not until this problem with her hormones was fixed.

“Do any other sperm samples react to the excretions?” She heard Sherra ask the doctor.

Oh Lord, this was bad. They were combining the samples taken from her body with other men’s cum.

Merinus gritted her teeth.

“Enough.” She didn’t wait for the doctor’s response. “Get me a phone. Time to call home.”

“Merinus, it really is okay.” Dawn glided forward, her heart shaped face concerned as Sherra and

Doctor Martin turned to her. “Just a bit longer and we’ll be finished.”

Merinus sat up on the bed, intending to move to her feet. To dress. To leave. A hard shudder worked

over her body then, her vagina spasmed and a fierce jolt of incredible need shook her body, forcing a

moan past her throat.

“This is bad,” she whimpered, bending over clutching her stomach. “Oh God, this is bad. Time to go

home.”

“Merinus.” Sherra rushed to her side as beeps and pings began to echo through the cavern as the

machines, attached to Merinus’ body by electrodes, began to go off. “Just a minute—”

“Time’s up.” Callan stood in the entrance of the makeshift lab, his hair flowing to his bare shoulders, his

golden eyes glittering with lust.

Merinus gasped as he came toward her. She had to touch him, had to have him against her. He looked

big and hard and so warm. There was no hesitation in her when he reached for her, lifting her from the

lab bed.

She groaned aloud when his fiery skin touched her, his arms lifting her against his chest as he turned and

stalked from the room. The sheet trailed to the floor, rasping against her skin as it slowly fell away.

“Is it going to hurt?” She couldn’t keep her lips from his chest. She had to taste him. She bit at hard
