Claiming Lainey [Cowboy Mates, Psychic Connections 3] (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour)

by Lynnette Bernard

  Tim smiled and pushed at Spence’s shoulder lightly. “Nice flowery words from a tough cowboy,” he kidded him.

  “Yeah, well, I mean them,” Spence said gruffly.

  Tim was quiet as he looked across their sleeping mate and viewed his best friend as he lay contentedly pressed tightly against their woman. “That’s good because I completely agree with you.” He leaned forward and touched Lainey’s cheek tenderly. “We just have to convince Lainey.”

  * * * *

  Lainey stretched, feeling a bit refreshed but still tired. She moaned lightly.

  “What the heck is going on? Why am I so tired?” she mumbled as she snuggled closer to the mountain of muscle and warmth beside her.

  “Just rest, kitten,” Spence told her softly. “We’ve probably worn you out.”

  Lainey laughed lightly, reaching out and touching his face gently. “What a way to get worn out,” she told him, leaning up and kissing the underside of his chin.

  “Kitten, be careful,” Spence warned her. “You need to rest.”

  “What I need is to love on you,” Lainey corrected him.

  Spence’s deep laugh made her smile. She reached up and dragged her fingernails across his back, making him arch into her touch and gasp with pleasure.

  “What do you think, Spence? Do you want to make love to me?”

  “Kitten, I always want to make love to you,” he told her honestly. “But you need to take care and rest. Come here and let me hold you.”

  Lainey ignored his words as she kissed her way down his body, pushing aside the sheet and blanket as she went, and buried her nose into the soft, black curls that surrounded his engorged cock. She breathed in deeply, memorizing the scent that was uniquely his. Kissing his belly, she reached up and took hold of his shaft, opening her mouth and engulfing it, smiling as Spence growled and his body snapped up so that he sat and held her head tightly within his hands.

  “Lainey,” he moaned, allowing her to have complete control for the moment, petting her hair tenderly as she bobbed over him and took him deeper into her mouth with each downward plunge. “Stop, baby.”

  He pulled her up and wrapped his arms around her to kiss her fiercely. The warm softness of her skin against his chest made him close his eyes in an effort to control himself. It was so very difficult to be in control when Lainey was loving him.

  With strength and control that rivaled the strongest man in the world, he turned their mate so that her beautiful behind was directly in front of his face and her head was strategically lying against his groin. Lowering back down onto his back, he spread her legs so that she straddled him and he gripped her hips to pull her sweet pussy directly in line with his mouth.

  He spread her swollen lips carefully, aware that she was still recuperating from her time making love with Tim. Extending his tongue, he gently laved at her pink folds, soothing and exciting her at the same time. He was so intent on his need to care for her, he completely forgot that she had equal access to his body. When his cock was engulfed in the beauty of her wet, warm mouth, he couldn’t prevent the moan of pleasure that left him. He smiled against her pussy, pressing his tongue deep within her channel and humming happily as she moaned around the head of his cock, which sent delicious shockwaves of pleasure straight up his shaft and made his balls lift and tighten against his body.

  He clenched his groin muscles tight in an effort to stay his orgasm. Lainey’s touch was too much, too loving, and too exciting. He would forever be grateful for her honest tenderness and loving nature. She loved him without reservation, and he counted his blessings to have such a good friend and a loving mate in his life.

  He opened his mouth and sucked in the fluid that dripped from her channel, loving the way her body readied itself for their loving. He loved the warmth of her, the taste of her, and the scent of her. There was nothing as beautiful as their mate and the way she reacted to them.

  Laving his tongue repeatedly over and through her velvet pinkness, he flicked at the swollen bundle of nerves, drawing it into his mouth and biting down on it gently. Her immediate moan of excitement made him smile. He was determined to love her into a screaming release.

  Dragging his tongue through the valley of her pussy, he continued licking until he was circling the puckered pink opening of her rectum. He laved at it continuously, drawing louder moans from their mate. When he pressed his tongue against the guardian muscle, she pressed down on him, taking his cock deeper into the warm recesses of her mouth and swallowing.

  It seemed that they were at a stalemate. Either one of them would push the other into orgasm with one more stroke, one more loving caress, or one more kiss against the other’s flesh. Spence was determined to make Lainey experience her release before he did. Everything he wanted was for her.

  Lainey moved then, surprising him as she repositioned her body so that she once again faced him, straddling his body and putting herself in direct line with his smiling face. She reached up and grabbed his hair tightly within her fingers, holding him still while she claimed his mouth with her own. Her soft lips kissed his, her tongue sliding out to trace his lips, plunging deep within his mouth when he opened to her.

  Spence growled against her mouth, holding her tightly as he took over the kiss, owning her and loving her. She responded to him immediately, soft sounds of need leaving her as she melted against him. It was only a matter of seconds before she lay against him, completely depleted of strength. Spence sensed her exhaustion and was immediately concerned. He ended the kiss and pushed at her shoulders gently so he could look at her, concerned with what he saw.

  “Kitten, you’re too tired,” he told her gently. “Come here and just let me hold you.”

  He lay back, opened his arms to her and waited for her to go into his embrace. She lay down on his chest, kissing his neck lightly and humming with appreciation when his arms encircled her. Spreading her legs, she straddled his waist and pushed back to allow the tip of his cock to kiss her pussy. She pressed back just enough to take him inside of her then paused, laid her hands on his chest and pushed herself up so that she rode him, his cock sinking inside of her slowly and deeply.

  “I hope you don’t mind that I want to make love to you, Mate,” she teased him as she lifted her hips then pressed back down to take him back inside of her as deeply as she could.

  “Lainey, you should be resting, but damned if I’m going to deny you this,” Spence told her. “I’m a selfish bastard, I guess.”

  “Never, Spence,” she told him gently. “I’m the selfish one. I can’t seem to get enough of either you or Tim. I can’t help it. I love you both so much.”

  Spence reached up and held her face between his hands, drawing her down to kiss her repeatedly as she rode him. He licked at her lips, groaning when she opened to him without hesitation.

  She moaned at the flavor of him, loving his taste and the way his heart poured into hers as he loved her. Pushing out of his hold, she sat up, and a gasp of pleasure escaped her as the new position made his cock graze against her G-spot repeatedly as she moved her hips up and down to take his incredible length inside of her. She sighed with contentment as his hands covered her breasts and squeezed them with enough pressure to send spirals of excitement through her.

  Covering his hands with her own, she used his strength to help steady herself as she pushed them both toward orgasm. She looked down and caught his attention, her heart softening toward him even further as she saw the sparkling blue of his eyes regarding her with such intense love.

  “Spence,” she whispered.

  “What, baby?”

  “I love you.”

  Spence closed his eyes and drew her down so that she lay prone against his chest. His arms tightened around her back and held her in place while he thrust up inside of her over and over again. She moaned as his hands traveled down the length of her back to her backside, his index finger following the crease of her ass and he circled her puckered opening slowly.

  “Spence,
” she gasped.

  “What, kitten?”

  “Do that again.”

  Spence chuckled and repeated the action, this time pressing against the ring of muscle that fluttered beneath his touch. Lainey moaned once again, and he pushed against her opening, feeling the strong, guardian muscle pop and accept the intrusion. Surging up, his hard cock impaled her repeatedly, taking her sweet pussy with unbridled need as his thumb did wondrous things to her anal opening.

  It wasn’t long before Lainey was a panting mess of need above him, clutching at his shoulders and scoring her fingernails across the solid muscles there. He gritted his teeth, trying to hold back his release, determined to have Lainey reach hers before he grabbed for his own.

  “Come for me now, kitten!” he ordered her, pressing his cock deeper and grazing her clit with his pubic bone as he sunk his thumb inside of her to the last knuckle.

  Lainey screamed. Her vaginal walls clamped down on his cock with such pressure he couldn’t move. All he could do was hang on for the ride. His cock pulsed with his release, filling her with the warmth of his seed and the depth of his love.

  She collapsed on top of him, all strength leaving her as her body twitched with the last pulse of her orgasm. She concentrated on the feeling of Spence still deep inside of her, and she sighed contentedly.

  “That sounds like a happy sound,” Spence whispered to her, kissing her forehead lightly.

  “I may be a little happy,” Lainey agreed softly.

  “That’s very good, kitten,” Spence told her, hugging her tighter against his chest.

  “How was your day?” Lainey asked him after a moment, stacking her hands on his chest and settling her chin atop them.

  Spence let out a full, deep laugh at their mate’s ability to change subjects while still having him imbedded deep inside of her. “You’re a joy, Lainey,” he told her, his eyes sparkling as he looked into her own eyes that were filled with mischief.

  He reached up and touched the soft, dark circles that were smudges beneath her eyes and saw exactly what Tim had been talking about. He felt all kinds of guilty as he realized that he hadn’t given her the rest that she obviously needed.

  “I’m so sorry, baby,” he said gently. “I should have allowed you to sleep. You looked tired.”

  “I am a little, but I’m fine,” Lainey told him, smiling. “I love making love with you so don’t even think about holding out on me.”

  “You’re a little monkey,” he told her, smiling as he ran his hands down her back and held her tightly against him, pushing himself deeper while he still could.

  “Just for you and Tim,” she told him, smiling. “Where’s Tim?”

  “He’s making dinner. Do you feel up to eating?”

  “Sure. Why wouldn’t I?”

  “No reason. I’m just worried that you might not be feeling well.”

  “I feel fine. Just tired. How are you? Did you have a good day?”

  Spence sighed heavily. “Lainey, there were several fences cut and some animals were injured today,” he told her, his voice heavy with worry.

  Lainey was silent for a moment as she watched Spence and saw the way he grew still. She could tell he was doing some heavy duty thinking. Pulling herself off him slowly, she gasped as his cock left her body. Reaching up, she caressed his chest lightly as she tried to soothe the tension from him.

  “Do you think Mr. Hughes is guilty of doing it?”

  “Without a doubt,” Spence told her without hesitation. “Tim is pretty upset about it. He blames himself for everything that his father does. No matter what I say, or what any of my brothers or John says, he insists on taking all the blame for what his father does.”

  “It’s always been that way,” Lainey said tiredly. She reached up and touched the scar on the underside of Spence’s jaw that was the result of the anger and abuse Tim’s father had wielded against them. Spence’s scar and the scar on her right arm showed just how out of control Tim’s father could get. “It’s only because Tim is frustrated. He needs to protect us.”

  “It’s more than that, baby,” Spence told her seriously. “Tim has always felt that he was responsible for his father’s violence because he was somehow lacking as a son and as a man.”

  “That’s bull,” Lainey sputtered.

  “Yes. It is.” Spence caressed her shoulder lightly as he held her. “Mr. Hughes keeps asking Tim for money. Every time Tim refuses, Mr. Hughes threatens to hurt the people that Tim cares about. You heard his threats when he was at your diner. Tim has had to put up with that kind of crap for a long time.”

  “Is that why he’s so worried about his father hurting me?”

  “I think that’s part of it,” Spence admitted. “I think he’s also determined not to bring his father’s name into our mating.”

  At the mention of their mating, Lainey smiled. “Too late. We’re already mated. There’s nothing he can do about it now.”

  Spence laughed and caressed Lainey’s butt lightly. “True, kitten.”

  “Do you think he doesn’t want to be mated anymore, Spence?” Lainey asked suddenly, worry filling her.

  “Don’t even think about something like that, Lainey. There is nothing more important to either Tim or me than being mated to you and having a future with you.”

  “I need to make sure Tim understands how much he means to me—how much he means to both of us.”

  He pulled her with him as he got out of bed, lifting her into his arms and carrying her toward the bathroom. Lainey settled against his chest and scraped her nails down his back.

  “Spence,” she began.

  “I know, kitten,” he stopped her. “Tim!” he bellowed.

  They both heard the heavy tread of Tim’s feet as he rushed up the stairs to their bedroom. The bedroom door opened and he stood there clad only in his jeans with the top button undone.

  “What?” His chest heaved with the fear that filled him as he saw Lainey being held in Spence’s arms. “Did something happen? What’s wrong?”

  “Nothing’s wrong,” Spence told him. “We need you to take a shower with us.”

  “Sweet hell, Spence. You scared the life out of me,” Tim told him, walking toward them and reaching out to touch Lainey’s shoulder lightly. “Are you all right, Lainey?”

  “I’m fine,” Lainey insisted. “We just needed you to be with us.”

  “Okay, honey,” he said, smiling, walking behind them as they stepped into the bathroom and Spence lead the way into the huge, walk-in shower.

  Tim unzipped his jeans and pushed them from his body, stepping out of them and following Spence and their mate into the decadent shower. The warm water was already running, and Lainey was deliciously slick with the soap Spence had already lathered her body with.

  Tim took the shampoo from the ledge and squirted a small amount onto his hand, replacing the bottle and scrubbing the sweet smelling liquid into Lainey’s long tresses. He loved running his fingers through her hair and giving their mate pleasure as he massaged her scalp.

  Lainey stood completely relaxed and pliant between him and Spence as they carefully washed her. She opened herself to them, allowing them intimate contact with every part her body. Her trust in them was complete, and she hoped they realized how much she really did believe in them.

  “Are you two sure you want to follow through with the commitment ceremony tomorrow?” she asked them as she turned and wrapped her arms around both of their waists to hold them tenderly.

  “Try and stop us,” Tim told her, leaning down to kiss her lips lightly.

  “We’re already mated, Lainey,” Spence reminded her. “There’s no way we’re ever going to be without you, kitten. Why? Do you want to end our mating?”

  “Absolutely not,” Lainey told them instantly. “As far as I’m concerned, you both belong to me. Forever. I would never even think about ending our mating. I just wanted to be sure that you both want to continue with it.”

  “Maybe we should think about this,
” Tim said seriously, winking over the top of Lainey’s head to urge Spence to help him tease their mate.

  “Well, now that I think about it, you may be right Tim,” Spence said suddenly, turning Lainey to press her between them tightly. “Lainey’s a great girl with a great personality, but the sex is so bad.”

  “What?” Lainey whispered, looking up at both men in a panic. “Are you two serious?”

  “You’re right, Spence,” Tim spoke up as if Lainey hadn’t said a word. “You and I had better work harder at pleasing our woman. I don’t think she likes what we do when we make love to her at all. We’ve definitely got the better end of this deal.”

  Both men chuckled, making Lainey look up at them, narrow her eyes and huff lightly. She realized that they were baiting her, and she had to push down her smile.

  “You’re both asses,” she told them, pushing against their bodies and doing her best to step away from them.

  “But you love us anyway,” Tim told her, laughing softly.

  “I don’t know. I have to think about it,” Lainey said firmly.

  “Lainey girl, you know we’re only kidding, right?” Tim asked her gently, wrapping his arms around her and hugging her gently.

  Spence pressed Lainey between them, gripping her hair and pulling gently until her head was tipped up to look at him. He covered her mouth with his and kissed her with such passion, Lainey’s knees lost strength. Tim pressed against her back and kissed along her shoulder until he reached her neck then bit down on her with just enough pressure to leave marks.

  “You’re loving, caring, beautiful, and the sexiest woman alive,” he told her, growling into her ear. “We don’t deserve you.”

  “Having you as our mate is the most incredible gift,” Spence told her, leaning back to look directly into her eyes. “You’re ours. Do you understand that, baby?”
