She smiled at the surprised gasps that left both men. Releasing her gentle hold on them, she allowed them to stand. Climbing off the lounge chair, she stood before them and smiled softly.
“You know you belong to me,” she told them calmly. “Your scents are delicious. Suzie told me that when you meet the men who are fated to be your mates, their scents would call to you. Your scents definitely call to me.”
She stepped forward and kissed each of their chests lightly before reaching down and entwining her fingers with theirs. She felt a moment of victory when their warm hands surrounded hers and they finally squeezed hers gently in response.
“I need you both to come up to my room and hold me while I sleep.” She tugged on their hands to get them to start moving. “I’m tired and I have to get some rest. The nightmare of what Boyd and Randall did to me keeps playing in my head. I need you both to help me so I don’t think about them anymore.”
She looked up at them and smiled at their stunned expressions. She also saw that they were wary of going with her. Mother Fate had told her that she must be the one to draw them out of their pain. She was determined to do exactly that.
“Please,” she whispered very sincerely, looking up at them with pleading eyes. She was not above using their sympathy for her to move this relationship forward.
She watched as Wade looked to Reece and waited. At Reece’s slight nod they both looked at her and smiled sadly.
“Whatever you need, little one,” Reece said finally. “But just this one time.”
Meeka pushed down her flash of annoyance. Baby steps, she reminded herself. She would ease them into becoming comfortable with their relationship, and she was determined that there would be a relationship.
Releasing her hold on their hands, she turned and slid open the glass door that led into the large kitchen of the family lodge. She stepped inside and started walking through the beautiful lodge home, heading toward the stairway that led to the second floor that held three suites of rooms. The suite given to her for her and her son was at the top of the stairs on the right. Walking over to the closed door, she turned the doorknob and pushed the door open, going inside without looking behind her. The men had to be behind her. She couldn’t stand it if they had bailed on her. She wanted them to take a chance on a future with her and Eric that she knew would be a good one.
Standing beside the large bed that had to have been commissioned special to accommodate the size of the men in Beckett’s pack, she untied the belt of her robe, shrugged the soft material off her shoulders, and threw it onto the large comfortable chair that sat beside the bed, leaving her dressed only in the huge red T-shirt that she had stolen. It was too late to hide the proof of her dishonesty.
“Is that my T-shirt, little one?” Reece asked as he stepped into the room, made his way across the distance between them, and stood beside her.
Meeka blushed deeply. “Sorry,” she muttered.
“For what?”
“For taking your shirt,” Meeka admitted guiltily.
“You took Reece’s shirt?” Wade asked, the humor evident in his tone.
Meeka watched as both men came closer. “Well, not exactly,” she hedged.
“What do you mean, baby?” Wade pressed.
“Um, I actually took Tshirts that belonged to both you and Reece,” she admitted, smiling when she saw the way her men’s eyes flashed golden as they looked down at her. “I couldn’t help it. I love the way you smell, and I wanted to have your scent around me when I slept. It makes me feel better. So, I took your shirts from your shop when I came to deliver the package Jace had given me to bring to you both. You weren’t there, so I left the package on the desk in the office. That’s when I saw your shirts hanging from the hooks next to the door. Sorry.”
Before she could say another word, she found herself swallowed by four strong arms and hauled tightly between two large, muscular bodies. She couldn’t help but laugh with pure joy. To hell with being embarrassed by her admission! If telling the truth would make them want to hold her, she was more than good with that.
“Little one, what are we going to do with you?” Reece asked, his rough voice soft as he looked down at her.
“I can think of a few things,” Meeka told him, winking up at the both of them.
The wide smile that both men gave her made her heart race. In the three months that she had known them, she had never seen them so happy. She was glad that it was because of her. Looking from Reece to Wade and back again, Meeka saw the happiness slowly ebbing away as a seriousness came over the both men.
Oh, boy. Not good.
“Let’s go. Into bed with you, Meeka,” Wade said quietly, indicating with his hand for Meeka to climb onto the huge bed.
Meeka stepped out of their arms with reluctance, worrying that if she didn’t touch them, they would fade away. She turned her back to them and climbed up onto the bed, settling herself in the center and lying back to rest against the pillow there.
“Are you going to get into bed, too?” she asked, almost afraid to hear their answer.
“Yes,” Reece answered for the both of them.
When both men stepped toward the bed, Meeka raised her hand to stop them. They immediately halted.
“Take off your boots and your shirts,” Meeka told them firmly. “I need to feel the warmth of your skin.”
Wade chuckled softly as he toed off his boots. “You’re full of surprises tonight, baby,” he told her. “I think I like this side of you. A lot.”
“Good, because I’m not finished telling you what to do,” Meeka said with satisfaction.
She watched as Reece fought to control the smile that threatened to show itself on his face. She was relieved to see both men unbuttoning their shirts and slowly pulling them from their bodies. Their tanned skin covered with a dark spattering of hair across their chests made her mouth salivate with the need to taste and touch every inch of them.
When they dropped their shirts onto the chair beside the bed then unbuckled and removed their belts to toss them next to their shirts, Meeka’s heart raced. She watched in appreciative silence as both men climbed up onto the bed. Wade settled against her left side and Reece settled against her right.
When they lay on their sides facing her and settled on the two pillows on either side of her, she finally relaxed. This was really happening, and she couldn’t be happier about it.
“Do I have to ask you to hold me?” she asked them, looking at Reece before turning her face toward Wade and waiting for them to decide what they were going to do.
Wade reached down and pulled up the covers, dragging them across the three of them as he settled comfortably beside her. When he rested his arm across her waist and leaned his forehead against her temple she felt the beginnings of complete happiness. Only Reece’s hesitation to be close made the moment bittersweet. She closed her eyes as she resolved herself to the fact that Mother Fate had been wrong. There was no future for them. Just as she was about to give up on her bold attempt to forge a relationship, she felt the hesitant touch from the man she ached to hold close to her heart.
Reece settled his arm carefully across her stomach, holding her waist lightly as he pulled her closer. The three of them adjusted their positions so that they were comfortably nestled within each other’s arms. Meeka melted against the warmth of their chests and felt at peace immediately. Before she could say a word, she felt both men kiss her temples lightly as they shared her pillow.
“Sleep, little one,” Reece whispered. “We’ll be here to watch over you.”
“No nightmares are allowed to come your way,” Wade added, kissing her cheek lightly. “Only nice thoughts and dreams, baby.”
Meeka nodded and reached out to hold onto their arms, tucking her hands beneath their biceps to hold them securely. “Thank you,” she whispered, kissing Reece’s chest lightly before turning to do the same to Wade’s. She smiled contentedly as both men rubbed their cheeks against her temples, snuggling between
them and sighing happily.
“Wade,” Meeka whispered after a moment, breaking the peaceful silence of the bedroom.
“What, baby?”
“Are you a breast man?”
She smiled as she felt both men tighten their arms around her. If Mother Fate told her she had to be the one to initiate the relationship then that’s what she was going to do. She was secretly glad that the lighting in the bedroom was very low so neither man could see the way she was blushing crimson. This was so out of her comfort zone.
“Why do you ask, Meeka?” Wade asked finally, his voice husky with desire.
“I just want to know.” She turned to face him as he leaned up on his arm to stare down at her with the most incredible look of desire she had ever seen. “Are you?”
Wade nodded slowly, removing his arm from Meeka’s midsection and gently touching her cheek with the tip of his index finger. “I would honestly say that I enjoy your breasts, Meeka,” he admitted, smiling.
“I’ve always been worried that my breasts were too big,” Meeka told him honestly. “I’ve always tried to hide them beneath my baggy shirts and sweaters.”
“They’re perfect,” Wade whispered, his eyes filled with desire as he looked down at the beautiful swell of her breasts beneath the T-shirt that she wore.
Meeka smiled, blushing hotly as Wade looked down at her as if he wanted to do more than just touch her face. Turning, she looked at Reece and saw the way his beautiful blue eyes had turned completely golden.
Score one for me!
“What about you, Reece? Are you a breast man, too?”
The rumbling growl that escaped Reece was her answer. She smiled as she saw him nod slowly and knew she had both men exactly where she wanted them. It was time to take the initiative and demand that her mates do what they were meant to do. Claim her.
Pushing at both men, she was glad when they eased away from her just slightly so she could continue with her plan to show them just how much she wanted them. She pushed aside her insecurities and reached down to grab the hem of her T-shirt. Pulling it up slowly, she smiled as she heard the immediate growls that escaped both men as she inched the shirt upward to reveal her body.
When the shirt was pushed all the way up to her neck, exposing her belly and breasts to her men, she hesitated, worried that she was not acceptable. The stretch marks from her pregnancy were evident, as was the way her large breasts were not exactly as perky or as firm as they once had been.
“Beautiful.”
Reece’s raspy voice cut through her worries. She looked at both men and saw that not only were their eyes completely golden as their wolves were pushing forward, but both men were also inching closer to her, pressing their bodies against her hips. She could feel their erections through the rough material of their jeans.
Meeka reached down and took her men’s hands in hers, bringing them up toward her mouth and kissing their knuckles lightly before taking their hands and covering her breasts with them. She smiled as the warmth of their large hands covered her breasts. It felt wonderful to have them touching her.
Looking at both men in turn, she saw the way they were fighting with their desires. She worried that she was not going to be successful in her determination to get her men to finally admit their need for her. When neither man moved their hand, she thought she was wrong in her attempt. She felt a surge of emotion choking her and was about to pull away from them and go and sleep in her son’s room to escape the humiliation of not being wanted when she hesitated a moment to think it through rationally.
She was being too emotional, and she knew that she had to calm down and look at the situation logically. Unfortunately, logically she admitted to herself that what she had done to initiate their desire for her hadn’t worked.
Just as she was about to remove herself from the humiliating situation, she felt Reece’s hand move gently as he squeezed her breast with just the right amount of pressure. She moaned as a sensation of desire zipped through her body and settled deep within her core. Before she could do more than arch into his touch, she felt Wade’s large hand squeeze her left breast then watched in fascination as he leaned forward and opened his mouth to tenderly lick at her nipple before sucking as much of her breast into his mouth as he could.
“Wade, that’s nice,” she whispered, threading her fingers through his long hair and gripping it lightly to hold him against her body.
When Reece kissed his way around her right nipple, licking at it and flicking his tongue against it to draw it to a point then take it between his lips to bite down on it gently, she thought she would explode with the pleasure both men gave her. There was no mistaking the fact that he wanted her, too. Her heart beat faster as she realized that both men really did desire her. She wanted them to ache to be a part of her life just as much as she ached to be a part of theirs.
“Reece,” she moaned, gripping the back of his neck and squeezing tightly.
Before she could say another word, both men increased their attention to her breasts, licking, sucking, and biting until she was mindless with her own need for them.
“Meeka,” Reece’s broken voice whispered to her.
“What?” Meeka’s voice was barely audible. She reached out and drew Reece against her body. She didn’t know what he wanted to tell her, but she could feel the depth of his emotions as he held her so tightly.
“You’re a beautiful gift,” Reece told her, kissing the center of her chest tenderly before he leaned back to look down at her. He knew that his eyes were deeply golden as his vision changed before him, and he knew that his wolf was demanding that they mate.
Meeka looked up at Reece and smiled shyly. “You’re sweet, Reece,” she said softly. “But I’m nothing special.”
“You’re wrong, baby,” Wade said gently, stopping her. “You’re special. Very special. You make me need.”
Meeka smiled and reached up to cover both of their hands with hers, slowly sliding their hands down her body until they were covering her mound. She caught her breath as both men growled softly and curled their fingers beneath hers until they cupped her and pressed between her lips, opening her up and sliding their thick fingers deep within her body. She pressed her hips up to take them deeper. Her entire body was on fire. She wanted them desperately.
“Please,” she whispered.
“Please, what, little one?” Reece asked her, groaning as he felt the wetness of her channel surrounding his middle finger. He pressed deeper inside of their mate, searching for that elusive spot that would make her jolt with pleasure. He smiled against her lips as he kissed her cheek softly before taking her mouth in a scorching kiss that was meant to prove exactly how much she was valued and wanted by both of them. It didn’t matter that they couldn’t claim her. She was theirs despite their reluctance to make it happen.
“Reece.”
Wade’s voice broke through the haze of his need. Reece pulled back and looked into his partner’s golden eyes. He saw the desire that was reflected in Wade’s eyes and knew that his childhood friend and triad partner was struggling with his need to claim their mate as well.
He felt Wade’s fingers sharing the wetness of Meeka’s body and knew that between the two of them, they were going to make their beautiful woman soar. They had to. They were destined to. And it broke his heart that they couldn’t do more than give her this momentary joy.
Sliding his hand up Meeka’s mound to gently pet her dark curls, he smiled as his middle finger grazed just the right spot, pressing against her swollen clit. Meeka’s hips shot upward as she gasped out her pleasure. Wade’s hand joined his in petting her, his fingers alternately stroking her engorged button and plunging deep inside of their woman to stimulate her hidden spot of pleasure.
Meeka’s hands covered both men’s hands and pressed them tightly against her sex. The immediate throbbing of her clit sent waves of pleasure pulsing through her. It would take very little to send her over the edge into pure bliss. She wondered absently i
f her men realized just how close she was.
Wade growled as he felt the throbbing of their woman’s clit beneath the palm of his hand. He rubbed against her button firmly, working with Reece to give their woman the pleasure they wanted her to feel with them, and only with them.
Reece pressed inside of her channel even deeper, tipping Meeka’s hips up to rest her on top of his bent thigh, and pressing in firmly as he swirled his fingers inside of her hot, velvet channel. He looked at Meeka’s beautiful face and saw the way her mouth opened and a long, moan of pleasure was pulled from her.
Both men pressed deeper inside of her as she came apart and soared. The clenching of her sex around their fingers made both of them growl as they experienced her deep pleasure. They realized how wonderful it would feel if her sex was clamping down on both of their cocks right then.
“I need to be inside of her,” Wade whispered, his voice pained as he looked at Reece with pleading eyes.
“No, Wade,” Reece croaked. “We can’t. It wouldn’t be fair to her.”
Wade closed his eyes as he nodded slowly. “I know,” he whispered, his heart breaking at the thought that their woman would never be theirs. Not if they wanted her to remain safe.
Looking at Meeka as she lay exhausted against her pillow, both men smiled sadly. This was all that they could ever do for her. She deserved so much more, but they couldn’t offer it to her.
“That was very nice, thank you,” Meeka said, smiling shyly as she opened her eyes and gazed softly up at both men as they looked down at her. Their eyes were still golden and they were emitting continuous growls that were making her body tingle.
When they pulled their hands from her channel and drew their fingers to their mouths to lick her cream from them, she couldn’t help but blush at the intimacy of the act. Although she was embarrassed, she had to admit that she wished that they would both place themselves between her legs to lick her intimately before plunging the thick cocks she could feel pressed against her legs deep inside of her. Then she would know true peace, contentment, and maybe even love for the first time in her life.
