Peata [Eminence Shifters 2] (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour)

by Ashley Malkin

  “Axel, do it now. I need you,” Peata panted softly.

  His orgasm roared through him in response to her words. He came so hard his vision faded. Roaring loudly he sank his fangs into her neck and swallowed her warm, sweet blood. She came again, screaming his name.

  As his breathing slowed and his vision returned, he realized he had collapsed on top of her. “Sorry, honey, I’m squashing you.” He lifted a little, but left his cock buried in her warmth.

  “No, when you’re lying on me like that, I feel you’re touching me everywhere. It feels really good.”

  He looked down at her beautiful face. She was smiling up at him and his heart clenched. He loved her so much. He hadn’t expected to love her so deeply this soon, but he did. He knew the mating bond drew mates to each other, but he’d been unprepared for the powerful emotions it also invoked.

  Or maybe it is just because she is so magnificent.

  Even in the short time he had known her, he had been stunned by the depth of her kindness, strength, acceptance and honesty. He was certain that he and his brothers had been blessed with the most perfect mate ever created.

  Kissing her, he kept his thoughts to himself for now. But he would tell her soon that he loved her.

  “How are you, my beautiful mate?” he asked, rolling to her side.

  “I feel wonderful. That was amazing, Axel. I liked all the things you did.” She blushed, her innocence obvious.

  “I’m happy to hear that, sugar, because I intend to spend a lot of time eating your sweet pussy,” Calder said.

  Axel found her inexperience was a turn-on, his cock filling as he envisioned all the different firsts he and his brothers would give her.

  “How is your throat feeling now?” Max asked, gently wiping her pussy clean. Axel was relieved to see there was no blood this time.

  “My throat feels warm and itchy now, not sore, and my chest is no longer tight.”

  Axel nuzzled her neck, licking his mating mark. “Once the mating is complete, you will be fully healed.”

  She shivered and reached for him, pulling him down for a kiss. She was the one to plunge her tongue into his mouth, and he groaned when she licked down his still elongated canines. He hadn’t realized they were an erogenous zone, but the feel of it had his cock instantly hard again.

  * * * *

  Calder felt he had been patient enough. His need to mate with Peata was burning through all of the cells in his body, his cock throbbing a painful tattoo in his jeans.

  He moved Axel’s body aside, leaving them connected by their kiss, and lowered his mouth to her luscious pink nipple laving it with his tongue. It peaked hard and rigid under his ministrations. His canines dropped as he pictured marking her here. It would make her breast even more responsive to his touch. He scrapped his tooth around her nipple and was pleased when she gasped out his name.

  “I thought you may have forgotten about me,” he said, nipping her nipple lightly.

  “God, no, Calder,” she gasped.

  “Are you ready for me, sugar? I’m on fire for you.” She looked like an angel, her pale skin flushed with arousal, her long dark hair spread over the pillow.

  “I need you, Calder,” she cried, climbing onto her knees and wrapping her arms around his neck. She rubbed her nipples against his chest, the hard points like a brand, making his skin sizzle.

  Instead of answering her, he kissed her, pouring his happiness into her through their connected lips. She moaned in response, licking along his probing tongue. She tasted so sweet that he couldn’t wait any longer. Reaching down he ripped open his jeans and freed his aching cock. Peata’s small hand wrapped around his length and his whole body ignited in pleasure.

  “That feels so good, sugar, just like that,” he said softly, encouraging her as she paused in hesitation. She looked down at his cock and licked her lips absently, his cock twitching in response. He knew her mouth would feel like heaven when it was around his cock, but not now. He wanted to be buried deep in her pussy when he sealed their mating.

  “No more, Peata, you are so sexy I’m about to come.” Placing his hand over hers, he drew her away. “I need to be inside you.”

  Trailing kisses down her neck to her breast, he sucked each nipple in turn to a hard peak. Picking her up, he turned her around and positioned her on her hands and knees. He rubbed his palms over her perfect buttocks, his cock pulsing as he imagined sinking into her tight ass.

  Axel moved to kneel at her head, holding his hard cock to her lips. “Can you suck on me, Peata? I’m so fucking hard for you,” Axel said softly.

  Calder didn’t pause to see her response. He was too desperate for a taste of her. The scent of her arousal was spreading its tendrils into his brain, drawing him to her, and he was powerless to resist. He plunged his tongue into her hot wet pussy and lapped at her. Using one finger to circle her clit he moved another to the tight bud of her anus. Using her juices for lubrication, he gently massaged the opening until her muscles relaxed and his finger slid in. Increasing the pressure on her clitoris had her pussy quivering on his probing tongue. She was about to come.

  He needed to be inside her when she came. Quickly positioning himself between her knees he plunged his cock into her in one hard thrust, his finger still deep in her ass. She instantly screamed her release, Axel’s cock falling from her lips.

  She felt even better than he had dreamed. For the first time ever he felt free to enjoy the feel of a pussy orgasming on his cock. His cat knew this was their mate and it rejoiced in the joining. There was no guilt or shame, just the joy of being inside the one and only person that had been made for him. He roared his joy, his cock growing harder with each stroke into Peata’s tight, hot core.

  Peata took Axel’s cock back into her mouth, her head bobbing in time with his hard thrusts. He added another finger to her ass, the muscles loosening with each thrust.

  “We’re going to take you together next time. One of us in your ass, the other in your cunt,” he said with a growl at her. She shivered in response, pushing her ass back against him.

  His orgasm raced down his cock. Leaning forward, he found the spot he had chosen for his mark and bit her tender neck. Her blood on his tongue drove his orgasm higher and pleasure shattered through him.

  He was finally where he was meant to be and he felt the years of pent-up frustration wash away as he flooded his mate with his cum. He heard Axel’s roar and Peata’s scream, as they, also, found their release.

  “The four of us are a family now, forever,” Calder said, kissing down Peata’s spine and gently pulling his fingers from her ass. He could feel the bond they all shared and knew that nothing could ever break it. He purred, the vibrations making Peata’s skin pebble.

  “I love that sound. It is just so damn sexy,” she murmured, collapsing onto the bed.

  “I find that I don’t like swear words tainting that luscious mouth of yours, Peata. Consider yourself warned,” Max said.

  Calder lay down next to Peata and wrapped her in his arms. Nuzzling his mating mark, he asked, “Are you well, my little mate?”

  “That was amazing. I don’t remember any of my friends describing sex that that way,” Peata replied.

  She suddenly struggled out of his arms. “Oh shit, was it all right for all of you? Was I bad at it?”

  “You were perfect, Peata. I have never felt so good in my life,” Calder reassured her. “Can’t you feel it? You were made for us.”

  “I was hard again as soon as I came, and the blow job you just gave me still has me weak,” Axel said, kissing her deeply. “Fuck, now I want you again,” Axel groaned, licking over the healing mating mark on her neck. She shivered, the scent of her arousal growing stronger again.

  “I wish we had come to you as virgins, but we have lived a long time waiting for you to be born,” Max said. Kneeling next to her, he smoothed out her tangled hair with his fingers. “However, that was the first time I have ever made love to a woman. You are the only one now who
will ever arouse us, and we have hit the jackpot, because you are flawless in your innate sexuality.”

  He stood up and pulled Peata into his arms. “A bath and then bed for you, lover.”

  Peata smiled and snuggled into Max’s arms. She appeared so comfortable now with their touch, a far cry from the person they had met nearly twenty-four hours ago. He hoped the mating would heal some of her emotional wounds the same way it had healed her physical ones.

  Calder smiled as he and Axel went to join them in the bath. They would christen the huge tub together.

  “I’m still not used to that strange look on your face,” Axel teased, punching him on the shoulder. Calder had to admit that his face was aching from using muscles that had been dormant for years.

  Chapter 16

  Peata couldn’t believe these three men. They were so kind and caring, yet so big and sexy too. They could easily have had their pick of any supermodel they chose. But they had chosen her, and when they looked at her, she felt like a supermodel.

  She didn’t doubt it when they told her they found her beautiful. The heat in their eyes and their raging hard-ons were proof positive. But also the way they touched her and kissed her with such care and affection made her heart swell with love for them.

  She hadn’t loved anyone since her nanna had died, but she knew she loved these men. She had good friends at her workplace, who had helped her with her fears and made working possible. But she hadn’t loved or been loved in return for five long years. None of the men had said that they loved her, and she didn’t care. They were able to touch her, and she would bask in their affection.

  This had not been where she thought she’d end up when she ran for her life that night. But she was feeling stronger and safer, now that she was not alone. She would find a way to make herself safe, then she would be free to love these men for as long as they’d have her. They had said it was forever, but she was just too scared to believe that right now. It was too much and too soon, but maybe, when no one was trying to kill her, she would imagine forever.

  Max sat her on the bathroom cabinet and filled the bath. She wasn’t so caught up in her thoughts that she couldn’t admire his body. God, he was so hot. Freakishly tall with massive muscles and not an ounce of fat to be seen.

  “You have surprisingly little body hair considering you’re all furry as your cat?” Peata said teasingly.

  “Weird isn’t it? Even bear shifters have very little body hair as humans, but shifted, their fur is long and shaggy.” Max laughed, but then his smile faded. “Are you sore, lover?” Max asked.

  “No, Max, my chest and throat still feel all warm and tingly, but I’m in no pain.” He raised his eyebrow at her and she blushed. “Maybe a little sore. I think a bath will be good.”

  He carried her to the bath, sinking into the warm, fragrant water and settling her on his lap.

  “Thank you for being honest, Peata. It’s the only way this relationship will work. We will always be honest with you, too.”

  “You’re right, but I can’t seem to lie to you anyway. It made my head hurt so badly when I tried,” Peata replied, turning her head and kissing his shoulder.

  “Don’t tell him he’s right,” Axel said, climbing into the bath.

  “He has a big enough opinion of himself as it is,” Calder continued, sitting down next to Peata in the bath.

  “Do you have much at home that you need to pack, once this threat is dealt with?” Max asked, his voice sounding a little hesitant.

  “I think it is going to take my brain a little while to catch up. I hadn’t even thought about moving here,” Peata replied. She felt Max stiffen around her. I have made him mad at me.

  “I’m sorry, Max. So much has happened, I just haven’t thought past getting out of the mess I left behind.”

  “Fuck, Max, give her some time to process all of this before you order the removal truck,” Calder said, glaring at Max. He lifted up her feet and placed them on his lap, rubbing her feet soothingly.

  “I know in my heart I never want to be apart from all of you. I just hadn’t thought of all the practicalities yet,” Peata said. She looked at Max. She felt very vulnerable now that she had made mention of her feelings.

  “I am so sorry, Peata, I wasn’t mad at you, just scared that you were not going to stay,” Max said, kissing her lightly on the lips. “I would die if you left us. I can’t imagine my life without you as its center.”

  “She loves us too much to leave us, don’t you, honey?” Axel drawled. He held her face and kissed her.

  Peata couldn’t answer him. She was scared she would admit she did indeed love them. So she deepened the kiss and held his messy blond hair to stop him from breaking away. Her tender pussy clenched tight, and she felt some of her juices leak into the bath water.

  “That’s the best damn bath oil I’ve ever smelt,” Calder said, his voice deep and husky.

  Peata broke the kiss and saw that Calder’s eyes were shining bright amber, his lips curved into a cheeky grin. She giggled and snuggled back into Max’s embrace. She suddenly felt very tired. It had been a long and weird day. The men started to talk about rosters and fire stations as she slipped into a deep sleep.

  * * * *

  Max felt Peata succumbing to sleep, and after the day she had had, he was glad she was getting some rest. He held her until her breathing was deep and steady, then they all helped to dry her and settle her into their bed. They would join her shortly, but he needed to talk to his brothers first. Motioning for his brothers to follow him, he pulled on sweatpants and headed for the kitchen. He had poured them all a coffee by the time they joined him. He gestured for them to join him at the table.

  “Thanks all the same, Max, but I want to be standing when I kick your ass,” Axel said, growling low in is throat.

  “Why are you kicking ass?” Calder asked, his confusion evident.

  “You didn’t see, but I did. He made her bleed when he took her like that.” Axel turned his glowing glare back to Max. “You knew she was not experienced, you knew what she’d been through. Couldn’t you have contained yourself?”

  The chair Calder had just sat in. It crashed to the ground as he leapt for Max’s throat, his canines descending well past his bared lips.

  “You let us take her after you had already hurt her,” Calder raged, his hands now tight around Max’s neck.

  Max was bigger than them both, and stronger, but he hadn’t needed to use his superior strength with his brothers since they had been teenagers. He used it now though, easily tossing an irate Calder to the floor and planting his foot firmly on his chest to keep him there.

  “That’s why I needed to talk to you. It’s not what you think,” he explained. They needed to listen to him before they hurt each other. “I was gentle. It nearly killed me, but I was.”

  “Then how do you explain the damage you caused,” Axel said caustically.

  “It wasn’t damage, Axel, it was me taking her virginity,” he said, looking at them both to make sure they had understood.

  They both remained silent for a long time, but Calder finally spoke. “How can that be? She didn’t lie about her assault.”

  “Her honesty is not in question, but she was drugged. She has no idea of what was done to her. She only knows the result of it.”

  Max took his restraining weight off Calder and sat wearily at the table. “That’s what I needed to talk to you about. Should we tell her that her virginity had remained intact, despite the assault?”

  “Fuck, I don’t want her to ever have to think about the attack,” Axel said. He was looking stunned, but Max had needed him to understand. “Sorry, Max, I guess I shouldn’t have doubted you.”

  “You were protecting our mate. If the roles had been reversed, I would have ripped your dick off there and then,” Max said, glad they hadn’t hurt each other.

  “We have to consider if it will make a difference to Peata, knowing that she came to us a virgin,” Calder said thoughtfully.
<
br />   “Put that way, she needs to know,” Max replied, amazed anew at the change in Calder.

  “You are the more sensitive of us now. We’ll leave it to you to find a way to tell her.” He slapped Calder on the shoulder, and leaving his coffee untouched, went to curl up beside his mate.

  Chapter 17

  Calder woke to the feel of a warm hand gently caressing his chest. He tensed, his eyes flying open. He had slept alone his entire life. Then he recognized the sweet scent of his mate, and he relaxed into the pleasure of her touch.

  “Sorry if I woke you, but I couldn’t seem to stop myself. My hands were aching to touch you,” Peata said softly. Calder saw that Max was asleep, spooned against Peata’s back, and Axel was lying comfortably across the bottom of their huge bed, his head poking out one end of the quilt.

  “I’m not sorry, your touch is a wonderful gift.” He turned to gaze down at a sleep-rumpled Peata. “You look so fucking sexy lying naked in my arms.”

  Peata giggled, and Calder silenced her with a deep, lingering kiss.

  “I’ve never slept with anyone before,” Calder explained. “But now I won’t ever sleep without you.”

  “You are really old. I don’t expect you were celibate until yesterday,” Peata said, her checks flaming to bright red.

  “I have had sex occasionally, but I have never slept the night with anyone, until you. I have always been acutely aware of you being missing in my life,” he said, squeezing her to him and absorbing the feel of her into his very bones.

  “My hunger for you, my mate, has been so deep, and left me so cold, that I don’t know how I have borne it all these years. But having you here in my arms makes it worth all the pain. I would bear it again, ten times over, and not complain, knowing you were to be my reward.”

  “I’m sorry I wasn’t born sooner,” she whispered sadly.

  Calder looked into her eyes. “I’m not sad. I have you now and that’s all that counts. I’m the happiest man alive.”
