Mated to the Panthers: A Reverse Harem Paranormal Romance (Panther Shifters of the Amazon Book 2)

by Laura Wylde

  I suddenly realized that I was dragging my tongue along my bottom lip, imagining myself strolling up to her in the middle of that room in front of everyone, and kissing her. My hands cupped around her cheeks as I claimed her with my mouth…that was what I should have done. It was a missed opportunity.

  She’d been here for a while now and I hadn’t yet made a move. The time was definitely coming for me to do so. I’d held back and respected that all of this was a lot for her to take in, but she did wild things to me and I wanted to explore that. The other guys in the pack hadn’t said much about their feelings for her, but I knew she was the one for us. All of us. There was a silent acceptance between the lot of us…

  Hey, if the jaguars were coming and there was a chance that we would be attacked and lose our lives, then what was the point in holding back? None of us knew what the future would hold, if we were even going to have a tomorrow. Of course, I was hoping for and focusing on a positive outcome, but there was no guarantee.

  I needed to find her, to tell her how I felt about her, to see how she felt about me.

  “Is there anything else you need me to do, Javier?” I asked my brother with a slightly desperate edge to my voice.

  Javier gave me a look, almost as if he could see right into my mind and he knew exactly what I was thinking. “No, I don’t think there’s anything else I need you to do today. You go and…check on your pack.”

  He shot me a wink which caused a weird sound to fly out of my mouth. I intended for it to be a laugh at his joke, but it didn’t quite end up like that in the end. It was all strained and weird. I was acting nervous. Not like myself.

  “Right y…yes, I will be back to help you soon.”

  “Not too soon I hope!” This time the laugh was real. “Have a good time.”

  My heart pounded in my throat, all my muscles flexed as if they were getting themselves ready. I couldn’t wait to see Reese now, my mouth salivated with the idea of getting my hands all over her.

  “Dean?” Finally, I found him in the unused office that had at some point become his unofficial study. We all knew that he had other places to work where no one could find him, where he could continue to be his antisocial self, but this was where he would work when he didn’t mind being found. Only today was different because he didn’t appear to be working at all. He was simply staring out the window as if the universe had some answers for him there.

  “Hmm, yes?” He blinked a few times, returning to the room from his thoughts.

  “What’s going on? What are you doing in here…alone?”

  Admittedly, it did feel a little weird asking him where Reese was when I was the one who basically thrust her into his life, even when it seemed like she wasn’t welcome there. But if Dean thought it strange, he didn’t show it.

  “Oh, well Reese wanted to go to her place to have a nap. I didn’t think it was necessary for me to watch her all the time. I don’t think there’s much trouble she can get into while she’s sleeping.”

  “Was that sarcasm I detected there, Dean? That isn’t like you at all…I like it.”

  It was nice for him to show a bit of spunk. I much preferred that to his quiet demeanor. Getting under his skin and learning more about him would only make us closer as a pack. It was just a shame that it had taken such a long time.

  He half shrugged and didn’t answer me, returning his gaze to the window.

  “Are you worried about something?” However much I wanted to see Reese, I couldn’t ignore one of my pack in trouble…even if I was about to kick him out only a week or so before. He stayed, so he was still mine.

  “No.” His arms folded defensively across his chest. “I’m not worried about anything.”

  “Is it the meeting with the jaguars?” He angled himself away from me, answering me with his silence. “You set it up yourself, defended your choices to the bitter end, and now you’re worried about it. Why could that be? Is it because you aren’t quite as confident as you once were that they won’t cause issues for us?”

  “I’m sure they will see the logic in my plan, just as you should too,” he shot back tartly.

  “Okay, well, just in case they have a little trouble seeing the logic, like we do…” I cocked an eyebrow at him, letting him know I wasn’t too impressed by his attitude. “I can see that you only were doing what you thought was best…even if it was a little misguided, so any blood, if there is blood, won’t be on your hands.” He snapped his head around to look at me, completely surprised, so I smiled. “See? Not such a bad guy after all.”

  “I never thought you were a bad guy, but that…that means a lot to me, thank you.”

  I nodded and left him alone in that room to think, walking with almost a skip in my step as I went. A weight had been lifted from my chest that I didn’t even realize was there. It seemed like I needed to make things right with Dean more than I knew. Now, we could all move together properly, facing the jaguars as a united pack.

  I wasn’t sure if that would be enough to help us, no one knew what we were about to face, but it had to be better than being divided. Nothing good could come from arguing amongst ourselves when facing an enemy.

  But more importantly, I knew where Reese was, so it was time to head out to find her. She had a place at Panthera, one of our homes which had no one in it before, where Kayla had set her up when she first arrived. I just hoped that would become a permanent home for her. Panthera was a brighter place when she was around. I’d become very used to her presence. If she left, she would take a lot of the sunshine with her.

  I knocked on her door. Once, then another time, and finally one more time, but I got no response. I remained at her home for a couple of moments debating what to do next. I could have easily walked away and got back to work, but the idea of waking her from her nap to tell her how I felt about her was an all too cute image.

  I never ever thought that I would be the guy to go for a cutesy romantic thing, but Reese and her spunk had changed all of that. As I lightly pushed the door and I realized that it was unlocked, it only seemed logical to step inside. This was some kind of fate bullshit telling me I needed to do this.

  “Reese?” I called out quietly as I stepped inside, just in case she was awake. “Reese, you here?”

  My super sonic hearing picked up movement in the other room, the bedroom probably. She was moving about which meant she wasn’t sleeping anymore. Reality no longer played into my ‘cute’ idea, but that wasn’t about to stop me. I’d made my choice to tell Reese everything and now I couldn’t wait.

  Hold on. I halted where I was as I picked up on something. I’d been so focused on finding Reese that I wasn’t listening carefully enough, but now it was clear. She wasn’t alone in that room. Someone was with her. I racked my brain, trying to figure out the most logical solution. I could hardly imagine it was Dean. He’d still be in that room thinking for hours, purely because he would have to analyze my words for ages. That was how he was. So, it could be Kayla, maybe? They could have been having some girl time. I didn’t think they’d mind me breaking that up…

  “Reese?” I pushed the door open, just expecting to see the girls talking, so it was a big shock to see two men there around her. “Garret?” I narrowed my eyes curiously at him. “Trevor?”

  Trevor’s lips were inches from Reese’s and Garret had his hands on her hips. It seemed like I wasn’t the only one to feel an intense need to express my desire for Reese. I was almost the last one to it.

  She had ditched Dean to spend time with the other two…this was almost scandalous.

  The three of them stared at me expectantly. A heat rose all the way through Reese’s body as she looked like she’d been caught out. Considering she was so used to the odd relationships of humans where only one mate was considered truly acceptable, she probably felt embarrassed. Especially since it was obvious she had an attraction to me. Maybe she was even worried that I would consider this unacceptable because I wanted her all to myself.

  I g
lanced at my boys and allowed a small smile to play on my lips as I took a testing step closer to Reese. The scent in the air suggested that both men needed a release as much as I did. They hadn’t received that yet, which meant Reese was about to dive in head first. She wanted them both, she needed to be taken, she was pulsing and throbbing just as much as them…if she was willing to have two men, would she be willing to have one more?

  She sucked in a breath as I stepped closer to her, really invading her personal space, but that only made the thundering sound of her heartbeat even more intense. I could sense the wetness between her little pink thighs without me even needing to touch her. Holy fuck, she was ready to be taken in any which way I wanted.

  For a woman who spent all her life in control of things, she was about to lose herself here, and I couldn’t wait.

  “What is going on here?” I rasped, while grabbing her chin and making her look at me.

  “I… I…” Before she could get any words out, I slammed my mouth to hers passionately, taking her breath away.

  “It seems like you’re having a lot of fun here…without me. I want to be included.”

  With those words taking her words away, I laid her back on the bed with her head on Garret’s lap. His hand delved into her top and I watched for a moment as his fingers eagerly massaged her breasts, tugging and teasing her nipples. Reese’s eyes almost rolled to the back of her head and she began to make whimpering sounds. They were adorable, they were vulnerable, raw, and sexy as hell. She wasn’t naked yet, but she was stripped down.

  Trevor slid up her body and kissed her, much more gently than I did, moving back down again only when he’d grabbed the waist band of her leggings to peel them down off her. Her skin glistened, already gathering a sheen of sweat as we worked on her body in unison, driving her wild.

  “Oh, fuck,” she gasped, her fingers clutching on to the bed sheet as desire rocketed through her body. “Oh, shit, this feels so good. It’s too much, it’s…” I couldn’t help but smile as she lost her words.

  Trevor moved up to her mouth and he returned to kissing her, leaving the lower half of her body just for me. I eagerly popped one of her toes into my mouth and sucked until she was trying her hardest to pull away from me, the sensations getting far too much. Then, I moved my lips up her leg, kissing her all over, occasionally darting my tongue out to taste the delicious perspiration all over her skin. If she tasted so good here, then there was no telling how fucking incredible she would be when I got to where I so badly wanted to be.

  As the boys worked the top half of her body, I finally reached her core, where I blew out a hot breath along her slit. She shuddered hard, her back arching with pleasure. I absolutely loved having that effect on her. The buttoned-up woman becoming unleashed, blooming into the true version of herself. That was the Reese I wanted.

  I kissed her once, pressing my lips gently against her clit. She practically screamed in bliss as I did. I licked the taste of her off my lips, absolutely reveling in it. She was fucking delicious. I needed more. So much more…

  Then, I dived in and I ravaged her. I gripped on to her perfect, round butt and I held her in place so she couldn’t escape me as I became a mad man on a mission. I wanted to coax the orgasm from her. I couldn’t wait to drive her over the edge into the deep abyss of pleasure. I dragged my tongue off her clit and plunged it into her, massaging her insides, before returning to her hypersensitive nub, loving the way it felt on my taste buds. I flicked and traced patterns all over her, and from the way she was mewing like a kitten, she fucking loved it.

  One of Reese’s hands gripped on to my hair and she tugged every so often, probably when the bliss got too much for her,, which was just incredible. Her other hand was reaching out and touching the other guys, exploring them too. I couldn’t wait until her hands were all over me, sending me to heaven, giving me some much needed release.

  This felt fucking incredible. Being with Reese was perfect, it felt right, just as Javier described. Thank fuck I didn’t hold back any longer. The time was right, the time was now.

  Reese

  At first, it was intimidating having three men around me, touching me all over, but as Jakar’s tongue rolled over my clit, plunging deep into me, and Garret ran his mouth all over my nipples, with Trevor kissing me hard, it all felt oddly right. This was already so much more satisfying than any sexual relationship that I had ever had before.

  “Oh fuck,” I moaned while rolling my hips, pressing myself further into Jakar’s mouth. Garret’s thick, throbbing erection leaned against my leg, sending butterflies fluttering in the pit of my stomach. I wanted to feel him, to touch him all over. But I wanted to feel Trevor too, and Jakar. Fuck, I wanted them all. “This feels so good.”

  I tugged Trevor upwards, needing a taste. I couldn’t hold back any longer. His sexy, muscular, strong body shimmied up me, leaving me breathless. By the time his cock brushed against my mouth, what Jakar was doing to me was just about to tip me over the edge. I couldn’t stop myself from parting my lips, letting him slip inside. Trevor slid all the way to the back of my throat before he pulled back again, using his strong arms, to do press-ups into me. It was hot as hell. I wanted to reach around to grab his butt, to take charge and dominate the situation like I normally would, but before that happened Garret slipped his own cock between my fingers, bringing me to life all over again.

  Fuck, these three men were incredible. I wasn’t sure what I was worried about. When this was just about to begin, I almost hesitated with anxiety. I wasn’t even sure what I was fearing; that this would be my first and only chance to explore something so unique and exciting, or that I would be put in danger somehow from these animals, but that sure as hell wasn’t happening. Thank God I overcame my hesitancy because this was just…

  “Oh shit,” I screamed, my words vibrating against Trevor’s cock and my fingers squeezing Garret’s as Jakar tipped me over the edge. I couldn’t hold back any longer, he’d sent me spiraling over the edge into the deep abyss of pleasure. The storm cloud exploded in bolts of lightning, the hot waves of bliss hit me like a tsunami, shattering every bone in my body. It was off the scale; the orgasm was something else. It was neverending. My head spun in the clouds, I wasn’t even connected to the planet anymore. It was everything and so much more.

  “Fucking hell…”

  I wanted to call out a name as the pleasure rocketed through me, but I didn’t know whose to yell out. It was Jakar’s tongue sending me over the edge, but the bodies of the other men as well. It was all of them, combined. I could see what Kayla meant now. It didn’t feel strange. It was the most natural sensation in the world to have all of them.

  As the pleasure subsided and died down, leaving my heart hammering like crazy against my chest, I returned my focus to where Trevor lay between my lips. I wasn’t done yet; the animal that they’d unleashed inside of me was hungry for more. Perhaps there was a little bit of panther inside of me as well…

  I moved my hand off Garret and used my fingers to caress Trevor’s balls as I flickered my tongue up and down his length, somehow instinctively knowing that was what he needed. Instantly, he stiffened. A tension rocketed through Trevor, followed by and intense shiver. The sounds coming out of his mouth were absolutely delicious. They were made even sexier by the hands of the other panthers rubbing and massaging my body all over.

  If I closed my eyes, the three men became panthers in my mind, and that was strangely sexy. They were still them, it was just the animal inside of them coming out, reminding me this wasn’t an every day situation.

  “Reese,” Trevor gasped, my name falling off his lips like a prayer. I tilted my eyes back to watch him, to see his face contort in sheer bliss as I tipped him over the edge too. The expression on him, knowing that I caused it, created fluttering sensations at my core. I wanted to be felt and explored all over again. “Oh, Reese, Reese…”

  Just as he exploded, his sweet seed filling my mouth, someone plunged their fingers into me, m
aking me scream. With Trevor tasting far more delicious than I ever could have hoped, and that unexpected bolt of bliss, I was in heaven all over again. I gazed at Trevor with love filling my heart as he pulled away and I swallowed him down.

  “You are something else,” Trevor gushed. “You really are something special, Reese.”

  His words left me wanting more. Not just right now but forever. I hadn’t ever felt like I belonged so much before. This unexpected place in the middle of the jungle that couldn’t have been further from my old life if it tried, made me feel more at home than I ever had. I never ever wanted to leave. This was everything to me.

  Before I could even catch my breath, I was pulled up into a sitting position by Jakar. His fingers slipped out of me, but his eyes were filled with such a dark desire, such an intense lust, he was practically fucking me with his eyes. He pulled me up on to his lap and kissed me hard, passion flowing from his tongue as it filled my mouth. He stole the breath from my body and left me with only joy instead.

  “You sexy, dirty girl,” Jakar growled, his lips hungrily sucking at my neck for a moment. The blood all rushed there, I already knew that he’d left a mark there, and I didn’t care. I wanted to be claimed by him.

  “Hmm, that feels amazing,” I groaned, tilting my neck to give more of my exposed throat to him.

  Just as I was about to say something else, Jakar silenced me by flipping me around and sitting me down on his lap. He teased my entrance, nudging against me, causing a deep, intense swirling sensation. I wasn’t in the mood to be teased, I needed him right now. So, I twisted myself and angled until he was deep inside me, hitting all the right spots.

  Trevor leaned back and watched me with a serene smile as I bucked my hips, riding Jakar desperately. I greedily needed another orgasm, I was thinking hungrily about my own pleasure and nothing else as I rocked back and forth…well, until Garret slid into my eye line and his hands began to run up my body. I grabbed his thick length again, loving the way he felt between my fingers, desperately enjoying the way he felt for me. Garret hooked his hands around the back of my neck and yanked me towards him to kiss him. His kiss was deeper than anything else I had been given from him before, and it unleashed another new side to him. I had peeled back another layer of Garret.
