“The scene in the living room. I–I didn’t mean to embarrass you. It sorta got out of hand, and I promise I’ll talk to Chloe and straighten everything out. I’m sorry.” The last words were whispered, and he knew that she was sorry.
Nathan didn’t say a thing to confirm or deny what she said. Instead, he pulled back his hand and slapped her ass, making her jolt and shift in his arms. He moved his hand rapidly, landing five more to each cheek, watching her ass turn a nice shade of pink before stopping and rubbing his handprints. She shrieked and moaned, trying to move, but he held her tight against his thighs. He moved his hand down between her legs, wanting to know if she was wet from her spanking.
Chapter 10
Katie was panting as she lay across Nathan’s lap. Her ass felt hot against his cool hands as he rubbed her bottom. Silent tears streaked her cheeks, but she refused to cry out in pain. Instead, she bit her lip and moaned at his touch. The spanking had been horrible, not the pain of his hand but the reason behind it. When he had pushed open her door, she could see the anger and sadness in his eyes and regretted the scene with her sister. She shouldn’t have cried, she shouldn’t have said they had kidnapped her, and she shouldn’t have tried to deny that she was their mate.
Nathan’s hand moved lower, and she held her breath, unsure of what he planned to do next. When his fingers brushed against her clit, she jumped but kept her mouth tightly sealed shut. He pushed two large fingers into her pussy, and Katie spread her legs, giving him better access. She wanted to rock and move, but she knew that he was completely in charge, so she willed herself not to do a thing.
“What a good girl you are, Katie. I’m so proud of you. You did exactly what I said.” Nathan’s praise affected her. His voice was the soothing balm she needed, and she relaxed further into him. He moved his fingers slowly, pumping them in and out of her pussy. She could feel how wet she was and knew it was the spanking and Nathan himself that affected her. Her darkest fantasies were coming true, being at the mercy of strong men who pleasured and punished her at the same time. It wouldn’t take long for her to come, and maybe he knew that, because he withdrew his hand.
“It’s time to stand up now, Katie. I’m going to help you.” She shimmied down off Nathan’s lap, and his strong hands were there, helping her to stand. She felt dizzy for a minute and watched the room spin. Nathan, Ethan, Lucas, and Ryan were around her, and she wasn’t sure what to do. She felt a pang of sadness and wondered if she had ruined everything.
“Was that enough of a lesson, or do you need more? Do we need to tie you up and make you admit how you feel? Do we need to prove that we’re your mates? What do you need us to do, Katie?” Nathan stared into her eyes, and she didn’t know what to say. She could feel the other men staring at her as well, and she wasn’t sure if she actually enjoyed this sort of attention. So many questions raced through her mind.
“Um…I…I’m sorry about that whole thing there in the living room. I really am. I had been so worried about Chloe, and then when I saw her I realized that she didn’t need me. She looked so happy, and I felt so miserable. I guess I was a little jealous. I knew you would come here, and I was so glad when you did, but I didn’t say that. And then Lucas wanted to leave because he doesn’t want me to be his mate, and I kinda freaked out more and cried.” She knew she was rambling. Her mouth just wouldn’t stop. “I’m sorry.” She bit her lip hard and forced herself to stop talking. Nathan leaned back in the chair, watching her closely, and she felt sick. She wasn’t sure what he would say.
“You were jealous of Chloe? Why? Because she’s happy?” Ryan asked her, taking her attention off Nathan for a minute. She turned her head and saw him sitting on the side of the bed.
“I was happy, too, but I couldn’t stop thinking about Chloe, and I really just wanted to make sure she was okay. When you brought me here, I was so upset that she was in a good place because the whole time I was at your house I could’ve been more relaxed had I known that. This is my fault. And now you don’t want me anymore.” She could feel the pressure building up in her eyes and knew she was going to cry.
“That’s not true. We do want you,” Lucas said, surprising her. Katie turned slightly and saw him standing next to Nathan by the chair. Her heart beat rapidly in her chest, and she was scared to believe him.

Lucas watched her closely, seeing different emotions play across her expressive face. He had been denying his feelings since scenting her as his mate. He heard her in their house making love to his brothers, and he had kept himself away. The memory of her on her knees in the shower was burned into his brain. He thought about her constantly. When he shifted in front of her, he had wanted to be the one to explain everything to her, but he let Ryan take her away. He wasn’t going to stop himself anymore. She was his mate, too, and he would have her.
She wanted him as much as he needed her. There was no fight left in him. Lucas reached for her, and Katie flew into his arms. He picked her up and kissed her with all the hunger inside him, groaning when she wrapped her legs around his waist. He carried her to the bed as their tongues clashed, his mouth covering hers. He laid her down and went down on top of her, enjoying the feel of her in his arms. He ignored his brothers and concentrated on her. He didn’t care if they joined in or left the room.
He moved down her body, kissing her chin, her neck, and nibbling on her collarbone. His teeth would be there soon, next to his brothers’ marks. He made his way down to her perfect breasts. His tongue curled around one stiff nipple and drew it into his mouth, and he couldn’t contain the moan as he began to suck it.
“Oh, Lucas,” Katie breathed out, her voice coming in gasps. “Oh, my God.” He growled around her nipple, feeling possessive of her. He took his time loving her slowly.
“We are going to explore every inch of your delectable little body, baby. But before we do that, I need to know that you’re gonna be with us forever.” Lucas heard Ethan and ignored him. He wasn’t going to stop what he was doing. He wanted to own her body, heart and soul, the way she already owned him.
“I do want to be with you,” she said, and words had never affected him more. She was theirs.
“Tonight, Lucas and I are going to show you what having two men feels like, and then we’ll prepare you for the ceremony. You’ll get all four of us then, baby.” Lucas looked up from adoring Katie’s nipples to see Ethan stripping off his clothes.
“Taste her pussy. Get her nice and wet for us.” Ethan sent him a wink, and Lucas smiled, brushing kisses down her stomach toward her pussy. He had dreamed of tasting her for a week now and couldn’t wait to get his mouth on her. He put his nose against her pussy and inhaled her unique scent. I’m going to devour her.
* * * *
Lucas’s fingers touched her first, strong, rough fingers that parted her folds. His lips touched her next, pressing against her clit, sending a jolt through her body. Then came his tongue. Wet and warm. He licked, caressing and sliding against her flesh. Her hips arched toward him. She was so close, closer than she wanted to be.
“So sweet.” He growled the words against her. Then his tongue plunged deep, his fingers stroked her, and Katie came against his mouth. He growled, a long, ragged rumble, and the vibrations trembled against her pussy, making the pleasure last longer.
She was breathing hard, twitching on the bed as Lucas climbed off, taking off his clothes. She couldn’t take her eyes off him as he revealed his golden skin inch by inch. He moved to the bed then, crawling up next to her. He kissed her, and Katie moved closer to him, loving the feel of his warmth on her skin.
“Get on top of me, baby. I need to be inside you.” Lucas helped her. She didn’t waste any time. She grabbed the base of his cock and guided him inside her. She leaned down and took his lips while his cock slowly filled her. Their tongues thrusting, tasting and taking, even has his body took hers. His cock drove into her, a deep plunge that stole her breath. He was in control, even though she was on top, and he made sure she knew that. He k
ept thrusting. Faster. Deeper. Harder. The pleasure shook her body, had her heart racing. She was close, knew her climax was right at the edge.
A hand on her back stopped her, and she looked over her shoulder at Ethan. “Take it easy, baby. I want to take your ass. I need to get you ready.” She swallowed, feeling a little scared.
Lucas cupped her face and moved her head so that she was looking at him. “Concentrate on me and what I’m doing. Just relax.” His eyes closed, and he kissed her. His mouth and tongue melted with her as she wrapped her arms tight around his neck. Her hips rocked, and she used her hold on him to press her pelvis closer so she could rub her clit against him. His cock filled her, so heavy and thick, and her pussy clamped around him as the lust built and built.
She felt Ethan’s fingers pushing against her rosebud and stayed focused on Lucas and the pleasure. There was a bite of pain, but it was gone just as quick as she felt it. She kissed Lucas, leaned into him, and rubbed her breasts against his chest.
“I’ll be gentle even if it kills me. You’re so tight. I’m going to push my cock in, and I want you to take a deep breath and push out.” Ethan’s voice was rough, and she did what he told her. She felt the tip of his cock breach her ass, and she tightened her muscles for a minute. She really wanted this. She wanted to be in the middle of Lucas and Ethan. She wanted to feel both their cocks inside her.
“Relax for me, baby. I’m going to enter you slowly and make you come hard for me.” She could tell that Ethan’s voice was changing, becoming rougher.
Katie moaned softly at the feeling of being taken, stretched, and parted by both Ethan and Lucas. She wiggled her ass, urging Ethan to continue. He pushed in until he was fully seated. She was full. She had never felt this possessed in her life. “Oh, God. You both feel so good.” Ethan’s hips rocked against her ass, a steady, slow motion. Lucas didn’t move, just held her tight against his chest.
“How does that feel?” Lucas asked.
“Amazing. I want you both to move.” She groaned. She could barely think straight having them both inside her body.
“Let us move you in between us. Just relax and enjoy.” Lucas let her sit up. He gripped her hips and lifted her off his cock. He acted as if she weighed nothing as he guided her back onto his cock and Ethan pulled out. They set up a gentle rhythm, letting her get used to having both of them inside her.
Ethan’s hands slid up her body, and he gripped both breasts. His fingers and thumbs rolled her nipples, pinched, and it drove her crazy. Her body jerked and she moaned. Shoving her hips back into his. He growled softly and shoved his cock into her ass faster, going deeper. One of his hands left her breast and slid to her clit. He rubbed fast, timing the beat to the thrust of his hips.
Lucas and Ethan pounded harder into her, and Ethan squeezed her clit tighter between his fingers. Katie felt raw, but she didn’t want them to stop as the climax built. Her body suddenly exploded around their cocks as pure bliss struck. They fucked her harder as her muscles convulsed. Ethan pulled his hand away from her clit but kept moving, drawing out her pleasure. She didn’t think she could take anymore. Her heart was beating fast, and her muscles were shaking. She was ready to fall over.
They didn’t let her go, though. She could tell they were getting close. She stared at Lucas, wanting to watch him come. His body trembled violently, and she felt him inside her, hot, thick, and hard. He threw back his head and drove into her deeply one more time. A roar tore from his throat. He came hard and hot, and she felt the warm blast of his cum. He is so beautiful when he comes, she thought.
She collapsed against his chest, trying to breathe. She felt Ethan pull out of her slowly and realized that she was so focused on Lucas that she hadn’t realized that he finished. She sat up a little and stopped him, leaning into him. She kissed him, just a swipe of her lips on his, hoping that he knew that she cared about him.
“I’ll get a warm washcloth for you. I’ll be right back baby.” Ethan kissed her then, a real kiss, and she smiled, feeling a lot better.
“Okay.” Katie lay down against Lucas, and he wrapped his arms around her. She never really believed that she would ever be in his arms. She tried to enjoy the moment, but she kept thinking about Nathan and Ryan. She hadn’t expected them to leave. She wanted to be with all four of them. Then again, maybe she wasn’t ready for that yet. How could one woman be with four men? Three she could see in her mind, but that still seemed a little overwhelming.
“You’re thinking awful hard.” Lucas’s voice brought her out of her mind, and she looked up and saw him watching her.
“I’m thinking about the four of you together. We haven’t done that yet, and to be honest, I’m a little worried.” She searched his eyes, and he gave her a small smile in return.
“The bonding ceremony will be on the next full moon. You’ll have all four of us then.”
“I thought we didn’t have to do that?” She thought back to her conversation with Ryan. He said that since they had claimed her that they wouldn’t need to run through the woods.
“We don’t have to, we want to. It’s an old tradition, but more than that, it makes our bond stronger. I haven’t claimed you yet. I want to do it outside, under the stars.” Lucas pulled her up his body so that they faced each other, and he kissed her slowly. Their tongues started a slow dance, twirling around, and she lost herself for a moment, enjoying his touch.
A warm washcloth touching her ass got her attention, and she stiffened for a minute, turning her head slightly to see Ethan cleaning her up. She cringed a little, wanting to clean herself, but she didn’t pull away. She knew that they liked taking care of her even if it was something silly like wiping her off.
“Lucas is right. We have some time now to get to spend together and for you to get to know all of us before the ceremony. We’ll stay here so that you can spend time with your sister. Maybe she will be able to calm your nerves about the ceremony. I know this whole thing has been a little shocking, but I’m glad that you’re our mate. We just want to make you happy.” Ethan threw the washcloth on the nightstand and climbed into bed. He kissed her shoulder, moving closer to lean his chest against her back.
“Where did Nathan and Ryan go? I didn’t realize they left the room. I feel bad about that.” She whispered the last part. She had been so focused on Lucas and Ethan that she hadn’t even realized her other men had left.
“They went to get some clothes and stuff from our house. Don’t worry about them. They could have joined us, but I think they wanted to give Lucas some time with you. I should’ve left with them, but I couldn’t seem to make myself go.” Ethan moved closer, wrapping his right arm around her waist to hold her close to his body. She snuggled between them, resting her head on Lucas’s shoulder.
“I’m glad you stayed. I wish they would’ve. I miss them. I sound like a selfish jerk.” Katie felt bad. Two gorgeous men had made love to her and she was thinking about Nathan and Ryan.
“No. Not selfish. You’re a woman with four mates, who is missing two of them. You own all of us. I wish I would’ve seen it sooner. Having you in my arms, I can’t even tell you what that does to me.” Lucas’s sweet words had her heart squeezing in her chest. He sounded so sincere, laying his feelings at her feet.
The room was silent. She could hear them breathing and pretended to be asleep. Could she walk away from this, from these men? Could she really leave Alaska behind with Nathan, Ethan, Lucas, and Ryan? The thought made her feel sick to her stomach, and she realized that she couldn’t leave them. She didn’t know how a ménage relationship worked, but she promised herself that she could at least give it a chance. She sat up and looked from Lucas to Ethan. They were both watching her with curious looks on their faces. She needed the four of them here.
The door opened, and Nathan and Ryan walked in carrying some luggage. Her heart beat faster in her chest, and she smiled at them. It seemed weird. She needed to talk to all of them, and then they walked in. Having all four of them in the same room
thrilled her, and she realized Lucas was right. She did need them all. They were her mates, and they belonged to her just as she belonged to them.
“What’s wrong?” Ryan dropped the bags he was holding and walked toward the bed. He sat down on the foot of the bed and held out his arms. She automatically crawled toward him. She moved to sit on his lap, and he wrapped his body around hers in a protective hold.
“I missed you and Nathan.” She leaned her face into his chest, taking a deep breath and smelling him. They all smelt of pine, mint, and sunshine. It made her feel safe and relaxed. She lifted her face when she felt a hand on her leg and looked up, seeing Nathan crouched down next to them so that he was eye level with her.
“We missed you, too. That’s why we hurried home to grab some clothes. We wanted to be here with you.” Ryan moved then, opening his arms and giving her to Nathan. It felt good to be near them all, her heart whole and her soul full. It was a heady feeling, and she had a hard time breathing when she realized how much they all meant to her. She felt like a fool for running to her sister, for worrying at all. At least she hadn’t lost them with her ridiculous tantrum.
Katie wrapped her arms tightly around Nathan’s neck, her face pressed into his chest. He held her close as he stood up and walked across the room. She knew he sat down by the fire. She could feel the flames at her back. “I love you.” The words came out before she could stop them. She was feeling more emotional than she could ever remember. His arms tightened around her, and he kissed her head. “I love you, too.”
He turned her around on his lap, moving her body easily. She saw Ethan, Lucas, and Ryan all kneeling around her, and she had to catch her breath at the look of vulnerability in their eyes. She looked at Ryan first. Their relationship had always been easy, and he winked at her.
“We all love you.” Ryan moved toward her on his knees. He pushed her hair behind her ears and kissed her deeply, shoving his tongue in her mouth, and ravaged her. His dominant attitude had her squirming on Nathan’s lap. When he built her up and had her moaning, he stopped and pulled back. He moved back and gave her space, allowing Lucas and Ethan to move forward. They moved together, two identical men, and she felt like a goddess.
