“That’s amazing,” Claire whispered.
“How come we didn’t know about this, Deuce?” Rafe asked the question that the rest of them probably had thought of as well.
“That’s a good question,” Deuce said thoughtfully. “I don’t know why our parents never told us. Maybe they didn’t realize that we couldn’t see the links on their necks that represented each of us. I can’t say for sure. I just know that Ma and Pa would never keep something like this from us on purpose.”
“I agree with you, Deuce,” Luke spoke up. “Ma and Pa were amazing parents who gave us everything they could to help us be happy. I know they would have given us this information, too, if they had realized that we didn’t know about it.”
“I agree. Now that all of you know what to expect, we should keep this knowledge open to all of our family and friends who find their mates,” Deuce continued.
“Unca Deuce?”
“What, Robbie?”
“I have a mate.”
The adults in the room laughed softly, looking down at the little boy with all the love they had for him. Robbie’s blue eyes sparkled with excitement that he had made all of the people that he loved happy.
“I’m sure you do, Robbie,” Deuce told him gently. “Someday you’ll meet her.”
“No, Unca Deuce,” Robbie protested.
“No, what, Robbie?”
“I have a mate.”
The hush that fell over the family was immediate. Robbie had proven over the last few weeks that he possessed the same gift of seeing the future that his mother did.
He turned and touched the hand of the little girl that sat on his Uncle Marc’s lap.
“Cooper is mine.”
Epilogue
Lainey slowly walked up the stairs to their bedroom. Her pregnancy had progressed without a hitch. The only thing that plagued her was her constant tiredness and the ache in her lower back as she reached her last month of her pregnancy.
Insurance money had allowed her and Becca to rebuild the diner and add the bakery that Becca wanted. Finding several women from town who were capable managers and employees, both she and Becca had been relieved to have the help and some much needed time off. Lainey was especially thankful that she was able to stay home at the end of her pregnancy.
Tim had been relieved that his father had been found guilty of the wrongs that he had committed and was paying for them in prison. Lainey worried that Tim still held deep guilt for the whole experience, but it seemed that, over time, he had been able to let it go as he had seen that each woman didn’t hold him responsible for what had happened and everyone had recovered fully from the incident.
Rubbing her hands over her huge belly, she couldn’t help but sigh. Carrying twins had made her belly expand to near bursting. She couldn’t imagine her men ever wanting to be intimate with her again, but their desire for her had never wavered. How could they possibly want her sexually? She knew it was her own self-consciousness that kept her from believing she was sexy or attractive in any way.
Tugging off her clothes, she reached for Tim’s black T-shirt that she’d been sleeping in and pulled it over her head. The soft material pulled tightly across her stomach, but she felt comfortable in it, just as she felt comfortable when she wore Spence’s T-shirt. She knew it made her mates happy when they saw her wearing their clothes, and that made her content.
Lying back among the cool sheets, she rested against her pillow, turning onto her left side and getting comfortable. Closing her eyes, she settled in for a nice long nap. It would be a while before her men came home, and she was determined to greet them with the loving she ached to give them.
Moving restlessly, she tried to find the perfect position to take the pressure off of her back. It took a while, but she was finally able to settle herself comfortably on her right side, holding Spence’s pillow against her chest to support her and Tim’s pillow between her knees to lessen the pressure on her hips.
Closing her eyes, she tried really hard to get some sleep but couldn’t. She sighed in frustration. Her eyes were filling with tears, and she couldn’t help but damn her flying hormones for making her so emotional.
Hearing the tread of heavy feet on the stairway, a feeling of relief filled her as she realized that her men were home. They would help her—she knew they would.
“Spence! Tim!” she called out, frustration pushing her to get them to her faster than they were already advancing on their bedroom.
She smiled as she heard them speed up their steps. The bedroom door slammed open and both men entered with expressions of concern on their faces. Lainey reached out her hands and lovingly caressed their faces as they knelt on the floor beside the bed.
“Kitten, are you all right?” Spence asked her worriedly.
“No. I’m not.”
“What’s wrong, darlin’?” Tim asked, leaning forward and kissing her forehead lightly.
“I can’t get comfortable,” she told them, frustration and pain in her voice. “Please help me.”
“Oh, sweetheart,” Tim whispered, briefly laying his head against hers before pulling back and looking at Spence. “We have to help her.”
Spence nodded then returned his gaze to their woman. “Lainey, Tim and I are going to do our best to make you comfortable. Just try to relax and let us take care of you.”
Lainey nodded and wiped at the tears that were filling her eyes. “I’m sorry,” she whispered.
“For what, kitten?”
“For being so emotional.”
“Oh, honey, there’s nothing to apologize for,” Spence told her gently. “I can’t even imagine how I would be if I had two babies inside of me. I think it’s probably good that women have the babies because men would be bigger babies than the children they were carrying.”
Lainey laughed a full belly laugh, picturing Spence pregnant and grumpy. “You may be right,” she told him, reaching up to touch his face gently. “I love you so much, Spence.”
“Love you, too, kitten.” He took her hand in his and kissed her palm gently.
Lainey turned to Tim and saw the smile he gave her. “So are you going to tell me you’d take over the pregnancy for me, Timmy?”
“Hell, no!” Tim said, horrified. “I’m not strong enough to do what you’re doing, Lainey.”
Lainey snorted, reaching out and touching Tim’s hand as he covered her belly. “Oh, Timmy. I think you’re plenty strong.”
“No, sweetheart,” he stopped her. “What you’re doing takes far more strength and resolve than anything I’ve ever had to do in my lifetime.”
“Timmy,” Lainey whispered, touched by the vehemence of his words. “I love you, my sweet bear.”
Tim smiled and leaned forward to kiss her lips tenderly. “I love you, my beautiful mate,” he whispered against her lips.
When he pulled away from her, Lainey grabbed for both of her mates’ hands. “So what are you going to do to help me?” she asked them. “I’m really uncomfortable.”
She sighed as their hands passed over her body, caressing her carefully. Their warm hands slid under the T-shirt and gently stroked her belly, her back, and her arms, making her sigh with relief. She looked up at them with thanks and did her best to relax.
“We’re going to love you until you scream with pleasure,” Spence promised.
“Oh, yeah? That sounds really good. Are you sure you want to do that? I can’t imagine how you can be aroused by me right now.”
Spence snorted as he stood and reached up to pull his T-shirt over his head and throw it to the floor. “Lainey, you are out of your mind if you think you’re not a sexy bundle of a woman.”
Lainey watched in fascination as Tim stood and removed his own shirt. When they unbuckled their belts, unbuttoned and unzipped their jeans, the moisture fled from her mouth. Watching with rapt attention, she smiled when they pushed their jeans down their thickly muscled thighs and dragged their boxer briefs with them. Their fully engorged cocks bounced and slap
ped against their stomachs, calling to her.
“I want to taste you,” she whispered, reaching out to take hold of their shafts and pull gently on them.
“No, kitten,” Spence stopped her. “This is about you.” He turned toward Tim and smiled. “You get our mate naked while I go and get the toy we bought for her.”
“You bought me a toy?” Lainey asked, surprised. “What kind of a toy?”
“One that will make you scream with pleasure, baby,” Tim told her as he reached out and gently pulled their mate up so that he could tug at the T-shirt she was wearing. “Did I tell you how much I love it when you wear my shirt, honey? It makes me want you even more.”
Lainey smiled and winked up at him. “Why do you think I wear it?”
“Oh, Lainey, you are a tease.”
“I am not. I put out.”
Tim barked out a laugh, pulling her gently toward him and hugging her tightly. “I’m glad you do, honey.”
Lainey laughed, kissing his chest lightly. “Want to help me put out right now?”
“She wants us to help her put out?” Spence asked, laughing softly as he came back into their bedroom. “I’m good with that. How about you, Tim?”
“I’m more than good with that,” Tim agreed. “Right after we give her a few orgasms to relax her.”
“Oh, I’ll be good with that!”
Lainey smiled up at her men, loving how much fun it was to be with them. She was putty in their hands as they laid her back on the bed, moaning lightly as they kissed and caressed every inch of her naked body. When Tim suckled at her left breast while Spence suckled at her right, she nearly lost her mind.
“Kitten, we have a special toy that we bought for you,” Spence told her, kissing the tip of her nipple before pulling back slightly and lifting the deep purple vibrator that had a unique shape to it.
“I know that’s a vibrator, but the shape is a little different,” Lainey told them, reaching up to touch the silky texture of the toy. “It feels nice and smooth.”
“It’s going to feel even better when it’s deep inside of you,” Tim told her, wiggling his eyebrows lecherously.
“Is it?” Lainey asked, unable to keep the humor from her voice.
“See how the toy is bent?” Spence asked. When Lainey nodded, he smiled at her. “When we put this inside of you, it will rub against your clit and your G-spot. Then we’ll turn on the vibrator and stroke it in and out of you just like when our cocks are inside of your sweet pussy.”
“Oh,” Lainey whispered, her channel clenching with the need to have her men fill her. “I like when you’re deep inside of me.”
“We do, too, baby,” Tim told her, his smile soft. “Now lay back and relax. Spence and I are going to make you feel good.”
Lainey did as she was told, knowing that she would do whatever her men asked of her. There was nothing she had ever experienced with them that had been anything but loving and fun.
She felt the warmth of their palms on her inner thighs and her legs fell open without hesitation. She squealed with surprise when their hands hooked beneath her thighs and dragged her body so that she lay sideways on the bed with her legs hanging off the edge of the mattress.
Spence knelt on the floor before her and leaned in to take a deep breath. Lainey knew a moment of worry when she wondered if her scent and taste had changed due to the late stage of her pregnancy. When Spence leaned forward and licked at her folds, she lost all thought about anything except the way he made her feel.
“Spence,” she moaned, reaching down but unable to touch his head because of her huge belly.
Tim loomed above her, taking her mouth in a sizzling kiss while Spence continued to lave at her folds and latched onto her clit. She couldn’t stop the mewling sounds of pleasure from escaping her.
She heard the snap of the opening of a bottle and smiled as she realized Spence had just opened the bottle of lube. She heard him squirting the liquid and moments later, she felt his fingers entering her and pushing the fluid deep inside of her. She sighed contentedly as his fingers filled her and his slicked thumb grazed across her clit. She moaned when his hand left her body then tightened her muscles when he slowly pushed back inside of her with the thick, curved toy.
“Try to relax, kitten,” Spence told her gently, petting her leg lightly as he eased the toy deep inside of her, careful to twist it slowly until the curve of it filled her and rubbed perfectly over her G-spot. At her instant moan of approval, he smiled, determined to give her every bit of pleasure he could. “That’s it, darlin’. Enjoy what I’m giving you.”
Tim kissed her, taking her sounds of pleasure into his mouth as Spence set up a rhythm of pumping the toy in and out of her, rubbing that elusive spot inside of her with each drag and thrust. It wasn’t long before her orgasm crested and burst through her body, making her arch her back as much as she was able to considering the heaviness of her pregnant belly. She panted through the waves of pleasure that rolled through her, gripping Tim’s biceps to ground herself.
“You’re beautiful when you come, Lainey,” Tim whispered against her. “We need to make her come again, Spence.”
Lainey’s chest heaved with exertion. She reached out and searched for her men, desperate to hold them. When both men reached for her at the same time and she was able to grab hold of them, she finally relaxed completely. They lay beside her, accepting her love and kissing her neck, face, and mouth repeatedly.
“Thank you,” she whispered.
“Oh, honey, we’re not through with you yet,” Tim told her, smiling down at her flushed face.
“You’re not?” Lainey asked, turning to face him with eyes that were glazed over with passion.
“No, Lainey. Spence, hold our mate while I help our woman.”
“Gladly,” Spence said, taking their mate in his arms and kissing her tenderly. He knew the moment Tim touched her sweet pussy when she arched up into his arms and moaned softly. “Enjoy yourself, kitten.”
Tim pulled the toy from her just enough to drag the vibrating wand over her G-spot then pushed it back inside of her. Just watching it disappear into her beautiful pussy, his heart pounded and his cock throbbed with need.
“After you come, I’m going to sink my cock deep inside of you, baby,” he told her, his voice rough with need.
“Yes,” Lainey moaned as he continued to pump the vibrating toy deep inside of her.
The rush of feeling that came over her blindsided her. She opened her mouth to scream out her ecstasy but nothing came out. She was too exhausted to voice her pleasure. Spence held her tightly within his arms as her body jerked with the orgasm that Tim had given her. Before she had a chance to do more than tighten her hold on Spence’s shoulders, Tim carefully pulled the toy from her body and pushed his cock inside of her until he was buried as deep as he could go.
Tim held her legs up as he stood beside the bed, bending his legs just slightly so that his body was perfectly aligned with hers and his cock easily pumped inside of her over and over again. His cock was decidedly bigger in length and girth than the toy, and she felt deliciously filled by him.
“Timmy,” she whispered, knowing she wasn’t far from another orgasm.
“Lainey,” he was barely able to get out as feelings of his love for her wrapped around his heart. Her vaginal walls clamped down on his cock. His orgasm built, tingling at the base of his spine, making his balls draw up tightly against his body just before he exploded inside of her.
Lainey moaned as the feelings of his pulsing cock and his warm seed filling her sent her over into the abyss of another orgasm that pulsed with small shockwaves through her core, making her entire body shake. He held her legs carefully, making her appreciate his strength and gentleness. When he slowly withdrew from her body, she moaned and reached for him, holding him tightly against her as he lay beside her and tenderly stroked her breasts and belly as he helped her to calm down.
“Spence, I need you inside of me right now,” she told him
, reaching up and gripping his arm tightly.
Without a word, Spence took his place between her legs, carefully holding them open as his painfully erect cock bobbed toward her entrance. He slid deep inside of her in one smooth stroke, groaning as her wet heat surrounded him.
“Lainey,” he moaned, starting a slow push and pull, sending them both up the path of beauty and fulfillment. “I love you, kitten.”
“Spence,” Lainey whispered, holding onto Tim tightly as Spence loved her deep and hard. “Harder, please.”
He didn’t disappoint her. His hips snapped harder against her, slapping his pelvic bone against her sensitive clit, and sending sparks of excitement through her. She could feel another orgasm building and she thought she might die from it. It was too much. But it wasn’t enough.
It was as if he knew her frustration. Slamming into her over and over again, he slid his hand between them to rub her button two more times. Halting all movement as she came on his cock, she threw him headfirst into his own release, and he filled her completely—some of his seed overflowing and dripping from her pussy. His cock pulsed deliciously within her, and she tightened her internal muscles to keep him within her as long as she could.
She smiled as Spence pulled out of her and lay beside her, gathering her in his arms until she was successfully turned on the bed and her two men were settled beside her. They lifted her legs and draped them over their thighs, helping her get comfortable as she lay on her back between them.
“Thank you, Mates,” she whispered.
“Any time, kitten,” Spence told her, still trying to control his breathing.
“Are you feeling more relaxed now, honey?” Tim asked her, kissing her neck lightly.
“Yes. I’m very relaxed,” she answered, her words slurred just slightly. “You both did a good job.”
“Hear that, Spence? We did a good job.”
Spence laughed and rubbed Lainey’s belly soothingly. “I’m glad. Get some rest, sweetheart. If you need us to help you again later, we’ll both be more than willing.”
