Milly turned her head to see Henderson picking up two cups. In the next instant, a dark shape hit him, knocking him back and out of her sight.
Kurt didn’t have time to react as the second werewolf roared up behind him and swiped his paw in a long arc, sending him rolling away.
She wiggled onto her side and watched as the two werewolves stood over the quivering vampires. They were huge and strong and the most amazing werewolves she’d ever seen. One was Matthew and the other had to be Dan.
They easily overpowered the vampires then straddled their bodies, their jaws gaping, their deadly fangs ready to tear them apart.
“No, Dan. Matthew, don’t kill them.” She struggled, but managed to get to her knees.
Matthew tilted his head at her and growled. He wanted them dead. She saw the fury and his need for revenge in his eyes and in the set of his jaw.
“Don’t, Matthew. He doesn’t understand how to be a vampire. His maker turned him then left him on his own.”
Matthew shook his head, denying her compassion. Was it because Beck had killed Riley? Or had his instinct to kill taken over?
“Is Riley all right? If she is, then please don’t do this.”
She blinked, fighting against the blurriness of her vision. Then, all at once, she knew it wasn’t her vision that was blurred. Dan and Matthew were changing back to their human forms.
“He doesn’t deserve your pity.” Matthew, as a man again, grabbed hold of Kurt and shoved him face down in the dirt. “But if this is what you want, get some of their rope and truss them up for safekeeping.”
Milly made a funny face. “I’m a bit tied up at the moment, but if you can turn me loose…”
Matthew frowned at her. “Milly? Milly, talk to me.”
Hadn’t she spoken out loud? She couldn’t be sure. Her body didn’t want to react the way she wanted it to.
It was though the horror of the past few hours had finally caught up to her. She thought she was speaking, but Matthew kept asking her to say something. She tried again, knew she’d failed yet again, and finally gave into the exhaustion.
Chapter Ten
Milly couldn’t stay awake. If she didn’t know better, she would’ve sworn someone had drugged her. Had Kurt given her anything? She couldn’t remember.
The touch of a hand on top of hers sent a pleasant zing through her arm. Dan sat beside her while Matthew stood at the end of the bed with Riley. She tried to speak, but it sounded more like a croak.
“You need to drink a bit first.”
Although it was Dan who’d spoken, it was Riley who came to sit at her other side. “Here.” She offered the cup of water to Milly. “Easy. Take little sips.”
Milly was thrilled. It was the first time Riley had ever treated her with genuine kindness. “Thanks.”
Once she’d let the cool liquid slide down her raw throat, she did a once-over, scanning the girl for any lingering injuries from her ordeal. But that didn’t mean there weren’t scars inside. “Are you all right?”
Riley cast her gaze down as a pink hue spread over her cheeks. “Other than feeling like the stupidest jerk in the world? I’m okay.”
The sincerity in her eyes wrapped around Milly’s heart. She gave her the cup then wiped the tear that slid down Riley’s cheek.
“Milly, I’m so sorry. I wish I hadn’t been such a brat to you.” She pulled a piece of paper out of her back pocket. “Here. I finally wrote you that apology letter. I hope you’ll read it.”
“Shh. Don’t think another moment about it. I was young once, too.” She laughed at Riley’s expression and took the letter. “Yeah. Hard to believe, but true.”
“No, no. I didn’t think that. ’Cause you’re not old now.”
“Wow. I believe I’m already feeling better. Compliments go a long way, you know.”
Matthew sat behind Riley. “You scared the hell out of us. When we came up on them and saw you on your back, I thought you were dead.”
“We would’ve never forgiven ourselves if we hadn’t reached you in time.” Dan pressed her hand to his lips.
“Then it’s a good thing you made it.” She wanted to ease their anxiety, needed to know that what had happened wouldn’t weigh on them. “So I guess Riley’s a fast runner, huh? Vampires are known for their speed.”
Riley shrugged. “It’s amazing how fast you can run when there’s one of them on your tail. I think he was playing with me and enjoying the chase. If he’d wanted to, he could’ve caught me before I got to where my uncles saw me.”
“What happened to Kurt and the others?” Even after all they’d done, she hoped their undead lives hadn’t come to a short and violent end.
“After we hogtied them, Jackson showed up. His brother Jayden took them to that Deacon guy and a few other vampires. Said they’ll make sure the boys receive the guidance and help they need to act like good little vamps.”
“Good little vamps? Please tell me that’s not how Jayden put it to Deacon when he handed them over.”
“Naw, but it’s how I would’ve said it. Jayden said the older vampires weren’t happy about how banged up they were, but they didn’t make a big deal about it, either. I guess Kurt and his friends were an embarrassment to them. They couldn’t get those boys out of sight fast enough.”
Dan took her hand in both of his. “Milly, what you did for Riley…” He cleared his throat. “We can never make it up to you. You saved her life.”
“He’s right, babe. We can never repay you.”
She tucked her chin down, embarrassed by the men’s gratitude. “Aw, ’tweren’t nothing you wouldn’t have done.”
Riley stood, drawing their attention to her. “Yeah, it was. And Milly?”
“Yeah?”
“I hope you’ll let my uncles be your mates. I mean, I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t want to any longer. Not since I come along with them.”
At first, Milly couldn’t speak. Emotion clogged her throat as she studied the girl who had changed from a rebellious, rude child into a young woman overnight. “If you’ll have me, I’d be proud to call you my friend, Riley Carpenter.”
Riley swiped away a tear. “Geez, you’re so mushy. But if it’s okay, can I call you Aunt Milly?”
“Aw, hell, girl. Now you’ve got me crying.”
She had a suspicion that Dan and Matthew were close to tears, too, as Riley leaned over and gave her a big hug. Riley straightened up and tossed her hair over her shoulders.
“If it’s okay with you guys, I’d like to stay over at a friend’s house tonight.”
“Yeah? A friend?” Dan glanced at Matthew then to Milly, who shrugged.
“If you’re up to anything other than sharing popcorn, gossip, and putting green gunk all over your face with other girls, then you might as well try kissing the moon.” Although said in a joking manner, it was obvious that Matthew meant business. “’Cause it ain’t gonna happen.”
“Green gunk? Really, Uncle Matthew? Yuck.” Riley made a disgusted face. “Girls don’t put green gunk on their faces anymore. At least not the ones I know. You can call her folks to check it out, if you want.”
Milly chuckled, but the movement made her stomach hurt. She figured it only made sense that she’d still ache after the ordeal she’d gone through. Even a werewolf had to have time to recuperate.
“So who’s the friend?” asked Dan.
“I met her the other day when I was waiting outside the diner for—” She cringed. “For you know who. Her name’s Julie Martin. So is it okay? I kind of already told her I could, and her dad’s picking me up any minute now.”
“Riley, you really need to ask permission first,” chastised Dan.
Riley rolled her eyes, once again acting like the teenage girl she was. “Like you’d have said no? Come on. I know I’m only fifteen, but even I know you three need time alone. You know. To get things done.”
“To get what things done?”
“Eww, gross, Uncle Matthew. I am so not talking ab
out this any longer.”
Outside, someone honked a car horn twice. “There she is. So is it okay, Uncle Dan?”
“Sure. Go. Have fun. Eat pizza and talk about boys.” Dan pointed his finger at her in warning. “I said talk about boys. No meeting up with any.”
“Thanks. See you tomorrow.” Whirling around, Riley dashed out of the room.
Milly was suddenly nervous. She’d been alone with Matthew, but not with both of them. “I guess we’ve got the house to ourselves for the night.”
Matthew eased closer. “I guess so. Still, if you’re not up to it, we’re okay with that.”
She grinned, playing around with him as he’d done with Riley. “Up for what?”
Then, before he could answer, she tugged him to her, wrapping her hands around his neck. Her kiss started out soft, but the need she’d held in check for the past few days came rushing back, urging her to press against him harder. Aches or no aches, she wanted, she needed to have them.
She’d never been happier, had never experienced the kind of blissful joy that was tingling her body. Not only was it because of the men who had finally come into her life, but because she’d finally made peace with Riley. Somehow, even amidst all the drama and rebellion that Riley had brought into her life, she’d learned to love the girl along with her uncles. They were a package deal, not only in their minds, but in hers.
She was too excited to stay still. Breaking the kiss, she pushed Matthew away and darted out of the bed and toward the bathroom. He caught her, with Dan right behind him, as she bent over to flip the handle on the tub.
Water spurted from the faucet as she pushed against the arm surrounding her waist and turned the other faucet on.
“Wanna take a bath, babe?”
She giggled as Dan and Matthew drew the nightgown over her head. “What’s it look like, big guy?”
“Like you’re a dirty girl who needs us to wash her.”
She let out a shriek when Dan picked her up and settled her into the tub. Matthew stripped off his clothes and got in behind her. His cock bounced with his movements, and although she tried to take hold of it, he was too quick to get behind her.
She thought she may have gotten the better end of it when he pushed his hard cock against her buttocks. Having Matthew’s cock between her butt cheeks as she watched Dan disrobe was more than enough to make her pussy clench with need.
Matthew scooted them to the side to pour bubble bath under the faucet. He emptied the bottle, producing a lavish amount of bubbles.
“Hey, that cost me a lot of money.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll pay you back.” Matthew spread bubbles over her breasts. “Would you consider taking payment in something other than cash?”
“I would. As long as it’s long and hard.”
He pushed his cock against her even more. “If it was any longer or harder, I could turn the faucet off with it.”
She giggled and leaned her head back to rest on his strong shoulder. “Hmm. This feels good.”
Dan sat on the edge of the tub, tempting her to stop relaxing and make a move. She cupped water and bubbles in her hand and poured them over his cock. A few of the soapy suds lingered on his tip, reminding her of his cum.
All at once, she was thirsty for more than mere water.
Dan groaned and slid his hands behind her head to guide her to his cock. She washed off the bubbles then took him into her mouth. His taste was sweet, yet something just on the side of spicy, and it was all him. She drew him in, released him, then drew him in again.
Matthew eased closer, pressing his cock against her once more as he played, putting bubbles onto her breasts. Once he’d covered them, he’d sweep them away and find her nipple to massage.
She was wet between her legs, and not just from the water. Bobbing her head, she sucked on Dan’s cock, drinking in his flavor. He moaned and tightened his hold on her hair, sweeping it away from her neck.
The tub was filled when Matthew hit the button to turn on the whirlpool. Water shot out from the jets that ran along each side of the tub. One of them was aimed at her pussy, but she wasn’t close enough for it to do any good.
She pulled away from Dan, ignored his protest, and grinned. “Want to see me come without you two touching me?”
“I’m curious, although I don’t like the not-touching-you part.”
Dan stroked his cock, still grumbling that she’d left it alone. “Sure. I’m game. But that doesn’t mean we won’t get to fuck you, does it?”
She didn’t have time to answer before they looked at each other and answered Dan’s question, saying the same thing at the same time.
“Hell, no!”
Wiggling her ass closer to the jet, she spread her legs and licked her lips. “Watch this.”
They were entranced as she positioned her pussy as close to the spurting water as she could. The force of the stream struck her pussy and she leaned back to enjoy the sensation of constant pressure on her clit.
“Holy hell. If that’s not enough to make a man hard, I don’t know what is.” Matthew splashed water on his face. “Is it hot in here or is just me? I wouldn’t be surprised if the water started to boil.”
“It’s not just you, bro.” Dan’s fixed gaze never left her.
Milly leaned back, letting Matthew support her again. “I was wrong. I need you to touch me.”
He obliged, and while one hand fondled her tit, the other rubbed his cock against her ass. Dan eased into the tub next to them and played with her other breast.
The water shoved against her clit, an unyielding warmth that took her higher and higher, ever closer to that first release of pleasure. She didn’t worry that the men wouldn’t like having her climax that way. From the looks on their faces, they were enjoying the hell out of it.
She moved even closer, putting her pussy at the opening of the hard stream. The pressure hit her in just the right spot and her body stiffened. “Oh, yeah. Please. Play with my tits.”
She whimpered as they pinched and twisted her nipples to give her a little pain. Matthew let his cock rest against her ass as he fingered her asshole, plunging first one then two fingers into her dark hole.
The noise of her ecstasy got louder, and vaguely, she was thankful that Riley was out of the house. From now on, though, she’d have to practice at keeping her noise level down.
She cried out as the lust overwhelmed her, driving her body into a whirl of lust-filled frenzy. She took hold of Dan’s neck and pulled his mouth to her breast.
Matthew groaned and lifted her on top of him. “I’ve got to stick it in now.”
She gasped as he pushed her upper torso forward, making her grab hold of the tub to keep from slipping. He took his fingers out of her then placed his body to better reach her, then shoved his cock into her pussy.
The angle was perfect as the curved end of him struck her G-spot. She cried out, the amazing sensation of her climax pummeling in waves through her body.
Dan held her hair back and nibbled on her shoulder as he played with her tit. “Don’t go hogging her, brother.”
Matthew laughed, but it was forced through gritted teeth. “You’ll have your time with her. Providing she even wants you.”
Dan’s only answer was a scoffing grunt.
She couldn’t speak, couldn’t tell them that they had all the time in the world. Now that Riley had accepted her, she no longer feared that they would leave.
Matthew pumped into her, repositioning his body to get even better access, and drove into her time and again. Water splashed over her hands and the side of the tub with the force of his motions.
She’d waited so long for her men to arrive, and now that they had, she almost couldn’t believe they were hers. Although she’d dreamed about the type of men she’d mate, she’d never let herself dare that they would be so strong, so muscular, so viral.
Matthew gripped her hips and pounded into her. She rocked back and forth as Dan played with her breast and whispered sexy th
ings in her ear.
“That’s it, baby. Fuck his cock. I want you primed and ready for when I drive my dick inside you.”
She moaned, his words adding to the already consuming fire.
“Damn, but your tits are great. Just the perfect size for my hand.”
She ground her teeth and shoved back, trying to give Matthew as much as he gave her.
“Come for me, baby. I want to see your face as you come again.”
As though he commanded her body, she tightened her pussy around Matthew’s cock and held on, determined to have him reach his release with as much tension around his cock as she could give him.
Matthew dug his nails into her butt then put his mouth to her flesh and bit down. She cried out, but the pain was wonderful, adding to her delight.
Dan pulled her away from Matthew and off his cock.
“What the hell, man?”
Moving her onto her side, Dan motioned for Matthew to get behind her. “I can’t wait a second longer.”
He held her up, keeping her head above the swirling water, then plunged his cock deep into her pussy. She barely had time to let that sensation sweep over when Matthew shoved his cock into her butt hole.
The brothers, their hard chests pushed against her back and her front, rammed into her. Water sloshed around them and over the edge of the tub as the whirlpool swirled bubbles and foam around their bodies.
They no longer spoke, each becoming part of a whole, as they moved. She was captured between them as they entered her. The world around them ceased to exist, and her mind went blank save to comprehend the emotions taking hold of her.
Dan took her face, his expression filled with a question she didn’t need to answer. Stretching her neck, she gave him access.
His fangs cut through her skin as he claimed her, and blood trickled a line over her collarbone and down between her breasts.
Matthew’s growl behind her signaled his need to claim her as he bit into her shoulder blade. Her body jerked, accepting their bites although she didn’t need them to make her a werewolf. She’d been fated for them from birth, even before she’d been changed, but she still wanted their bites to claim her.
