“Hello, baby,” he whispered before he kissed her neck gently and lightly bit down on her shoulder over his mating mark.
“My Carter,” she moaned, leaning into his chest as he tightened his arms around her waist.
“Something smells great,” he whispered against her neck. “Besides you, I mean.”
“Suzie made us a wonderful meal,” Drew told him, stepping back from them and going to the cabinet that held the plates and glasses.
Suzie felt the loss as soon as he released his hold on her. She looked at her men and smiled softly. They had quickly become everything to her. All the years of isolation and loneliness melted away with the realization that they had never forgotten her, had always loved her, and had tried to save her.
Having an open window into the recesses of their memories and feelings had soothed her anger and frustration. They had suffered as she had. Her heart hurt when she found the one memory both men had tucked away behind a gray door. She had stumbled upon it while she was holding them in her arms as they slept and their minds were relaxed. She had seen how her men had come to a point in their lives where they were unable to function without the love and belonging that was gifted to blessed triads. She ached for them, knowing exactly what they were planning to do in order to end their misery. She had held them tighter as that knowledge filled her with fear. She could only thank the Fates that the timing of her rescue had changed the future for all of them.
That sorrow and loneliness would never touch them again. Suzie was determined to show her men daily just how much they meant to her. They would share joy, laughter, and life. The Fates had blessed them by reuniting them. She was going to value every moment with them. And she was going to bring them fun.
Careful to shield her thoughts from them, she turned in Carter’s arms and kissed his neck, opening her mouth and biting down on it lightly. His growl of excitement vibrated through her and made her happy.
“If we don’t have dinner right now, it’s going to go to waste,” Drew told them as he set the table with plates, silverware, napkins, and glasses.
“Why would it go to waste?” Suzie asked him as she cuddled into Carter’s arms.
“Because in about two seconds I’m going to rip your clothes from your body and take you right here,” Drew warned her, looking at her with intense desire as his wolf fought him, demanding to claim and dominate. His eyes were nearly completely golden as he struggled to control his wolf.
Suzie stepped out of Carter’s arms and walked over to Drew, opening her arms and surrounding him in her embrace. She petted his chest lightly as she leaned in and kissed it.
“I think that’s a great idea,” she told him, winking. Drew’s immediate laughter was exactly what she wanted to hear. “But if you can hold off until after dinner, we’ll have more energy to sustain our marathon lovemaking.”
“We’re going to have a marathon of lovemaking?” Carter asked, his growls of need matching Drew’s.
“Oh, yeah,” Suzie told them, nodding. “So you’d better eat up. You’re going to need all the energy you can get, because I’m not going to stop loving on you until tomorrow morning.”
She kissed Drew’s chest one last time and pushed at him to get him to sit down at the table. She turned to Carter, kissed his chin quickly, and pointed to his seat. Both men sat and smiled up at her.
“You’d better eat a lot, too, Mate,” Carter told her seriously.
Suzie just smiled as she turned to walk to the stove and carry back the platter with the pot roast. She set it on the table before her men, then went back to retrieve the potatoes and carrots.
Once they were all seated and the food had been served, they settled in and ate the delicious meal Suzie had prepared. Suzie watched each man as they ate, loving the mundane act of sharing a meal.
“Did you have a good day, honey?” Carter asked her as he ate.
“I did,” she admitted. “I was able to get what I wanted.”
“What did you want to buy?” Drew asked her as he took another bite of the pot roast, closing his eyes as the delicious taste of it rolled across his palate.
“I’m not telling,” Suzie answered immediately.
“We have to talk about you shutting us out,” Carter told her seriously, putting down his fork and looking at Suzie sternly. “You were being a real brat when you sang in my head, sweetheart.”
“I had to do something,” Suzie protested. “I didn’t want you to know what I was getting.”
“Why, honey?” Drew asked, covering her hand with his as it settled on the table beside her plate.
“Because I want to keep it a surprise. And you both need to back off and give me my space. You can’t be in my head all the time.”
Drew looked at Carter and smiled. He knew they were wrong in insisting that Suzie was always open to them, and he knew that Carter realized it, too.
“Please,” Suzie whispered, all anger leaving her.
“I think you’ve got a point, honey,” Drew conceded. “We need to give you your privacy, but we need a small part of your heart open to us at all times so we can be sure you’re safe and well. Okay?”
“You have far more than a small piece of my heart at all times,” Suzie told them both softly. “Don’t you know that by now?”
Suzie gifted him with the most stunning smile imaginable. Both men leaned in and kissed her neck before biting down on her shoulder playfully.
“Are you ready for some apple pie?” Suzie asked them as she reached up and touched their faces tenderly.
Neither man spoke. The happiness that filled them at her words and her actions raced through their mating link, filling Suzie with the warmth of their devotion.
Moving away from them reluctantly, she sighed as she stood and retrieved the apple pie that was still warm from the baking. Bringing it to the table, she set it before her and cut each of them a piece, doling out the large slices of delicious goodness. She ate her piece slowly, watching her men as they ate and appreciated her cooking talent.
“Suzie, that was absolutely delicious. Thank you.” Drew smiled as he leaned back and rubbed his belly in appreciation.
Suzie nodded at Drew, happiness filling her heart. “I’m glad you liked it.”
“It was amazing,” Carter agreed. “You are amazing.”
Suzie’s grin was as wide as could be. She had one last thing planned for them. She had thought about it and prepared for it down to the last detail. She was looking forward to it.
“I wanted to make some cookies to bring to Julia,” she told them. “I ran out of time though. I want to make them tonight and bring them to her. Do you want to help me?”
“Only if we get to eat some, too,” Carter told her without hesitation.
“Deal,” Suzie agreed. “Would you get the bag of flour from the cabinet, Carter?”
Carter smiled, stood, and kissed the top of Suzie’s head before he turned and walked over to the cabinet beside the stove. He reached up and grabbed the knob on the cabinet door, pulling quickly. Nothing happened. He tugged at it again. Still the cabinet wouldn’t open.
“What’s wrong?” Drew asked him as he stood beside Suzie as she sat at the table.
“It’s stuck,” Carter told him, reaching up to grab the knob with his two hands and pulling with all his strength.
The cabinet door snapped open, bringing with it an explosion of flour as it was pulled toward him. The kitchen was filled with the instant cloud of white, and Carter was covered in it from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet. Carter coughed and spit out the mouthful of flour that he had sucked in with his gasp of surprise. He turned to Drew and Suzie in shock, wiping at his eyes to remove the flour from his face. He looked like a reverse raccoon.
Suzie’s burst of laughter filled the kitchen. She laughed so hard she could barely breathe. Drew’s surprise turned to amusement, his momentary, stunned silence turning to laughter as he looked at his triad partner.
Carter’s eyes narrowed a
s he looked at Suzie. Their mate was enjoying this way too much. He turned to look back at the cabinet and saw the thin cord that still surrounded the paper container of flour, and the attachment of that string tied to the screw that connected the knob to the cabinet door. Their mate was a wicked practical joker. He turned to face Suzie, growling as he slowly advanced on her.
“Susannah Robinson, you are in big trouble,” he told her, walking toward her, his eyes glowing golden as his wolf demanded release to discipline their mate.
Drew’s deep laughter joined Suzie’s. He hadn’t had so much fun in years. He saw Carter’s wolf coming to the forefront and knew his triad partner would lose control of his human side within minutes. Seeing the way Carter was bathed in flour was too much. Drew couldn’t control his laughter any longer. He reached out and pulled Suzie into his arms and held her tightly against his chest as they both laughed with complete abandon.
“Do you realize Suzie rigged that flour to explode when the cabinet was opened, Drew?” Carter asked him, never taking his eyes off their laughing mate.
“You did, Suzie?” Drew asked, surprised by the revelation.
“No,” Suzie denied it without hesitation. “I rigged the cabinet so the flour would explode on Carter when he opened it.”
The shock on the faces of both men made her laugh even harder. Carter grabbed her and rubbed his body all over her, sharing the abundance of flour that covered his body. Suzie grabbed Carter’s hands and pulled them around her, leaning into his embrace as she calmed.
“I wanted to teach you not to threaten to spank me,” she told him seriously, screeching in surprise as Carter lifted her and slung her over his shoulder.
“You’re in trouble, Mate,” he told her, slapping at her bottom soundly as he headed out of the kitchen and ran up the stairs to their bedroom.
“Drew! Help me!” Suzie screamed, laughing as she bounced on Carter’s shoulder as he raced up the stairs.
“I don’t think so, honey,” Drew told her as he followed Carter and their adorable mate. “I think I would be just as annoyed as Carter is if I was covered in flour.”
Carter stood beside their triad bed and pulled Suzie off his shoulder to drop her onto the bed. She bounced twice, giggling the entire time. She turned over quickly and tried to scamper away, but Carter reached out and grabbed her ankle, dragging her back toward him.
Suzie squealed with delight as she tried to get away from him once again, but Carter immediately pulled her back and covered her thighs with his chest. He leaned forward and bit her right butt cheek, growling against the firmness of muscle as she twitched against him. He worried at first that he might be acting too rough, but the scent of Suzie’s arousal that immediately surrounded him made his own need for her spike, and his wolf sat up and took notice.
“Drew, help!” Suzie gasped between her giggles.
Drew stood back and began taking off his clothes, growls of desire erupting from him as he watched the byplay of the chase and capture before him. Carter had their mate pinned beneath his chest, and Suzie was halfheartedly trying to get away. The excitement and arousal that permeated the air was drawing needs from him that he wasn’t about to deny.
He walked around the other side of their bed and climbed up onto the mattress to kneel before Suzie and sit back on his haunches. Reaching out, he grabbed her beneath her upper arms and pulled her up onto the incline of his thighs so that her mouth was directly in front of his straining cock. He watched her look up at him and smile, laying her hands on his thighs as she rubbed her cheek against his dripping length. He loved the feel of her soft cheek against his cock. When she licked along the side of it to nuzzle into his pubic hair, the growl that escaped him filled the room.
Carter reached up and tugged at Suzie’s jeans, pulling them and her panties from her body and revealing her luscious backside to his appreciative gaze. He threw the clothes from the bed before he reached out and slapped her left butt cheek. Hard.
Suzie screeched in response and tightened her hands on Drew’s thighs. Carter climbed up and took hold of her T-shirt, shifting his hand to reveal his claws, and swiping them in one smooth move down the center of the fabric. The material separated easily. He tugged the shirt down her forearms, pulling her hands from Drew’s thighs in the process and trapping them in the twisted material. All of Suzie’s weight rested against Drew as her hands were tied tightly around her waist. With another swipe of his claws, he shredded the closure of her bra and pulled at it so it was tucked beneath her full breasts. He gave her bottom another hard swat.
The soft whimpering sounds that escaped her gave Carter a moment of worry. Had he pushed her too far?
“You okay, Suzie?” he asked her softly.
“You’re going to have to kiss that bruise and make it better, Carter.”
Carter smiled at the teasing in their mate’s voice. She was certainly not upset and was enjoying the way he was loving her.
“I will,” he promised, leaning forward and kissing her butt cheek gently before laving the previous bite with the flat of his tongue and sucking on it deeply.
“Do you want to suck my cock, baby?” Drew asked her, holding her head steady with one hand as he brought his dripping cock to her lips and painted them slowly with pre-cum.
Suzie opened her mouth at once, taking the soft, spongy head between her lips and licking her tongue beneath it with just the right amount of pressure. She was slow in her caresses as she stimulated the bundle of nerves beneath the head, moaning lightly as the taste that was unique to her Drew filled her mouth. She leaned forward and took more of his length into her mouth, humming with appreciation as the texture and flavor of him filled her senses.
I’m going to take a quick shower, Mate. Have fun with Drew.
Don’t leave me. Suzie’s voice was a whimper inside Carter’s head.
Never, sweetheart. I just need to rinse off the flour a certain bold mate made explode all over me.
Suzie’s sweet giggle made him smile. He growled softly as he bent forward to lie on her back, pressing against her heavily and biting down on his mating mark.
When I come back, Drew and I are going to take your sweet pussy together. We’re going to fill you with our seed.
Yes, please.
Both men growled deeply, needing their mate more with each moment they spent with her. Her scent filled them, her goodness soothed them, and her humor gave them such joy.
By the Fates, I love her beyond reason. Drew’s voice was loud and clear in Carter’s mind. I need her.
Carter kissed Suzie’s neck before pulling away. With one last swat to her right butt cheek, he stepped back off the bed and walked to their bathroom. Don’t move from that position, Suzie Q. I want you presented to me exactly like that so I can sink my cock into you as soon as I’m out of the shower.
Hurry, my Carter.
Carter pulled off his flour-covered uniform, smiling at the thought of his sweet mate’s practical joke. He knew that he and Drew would never have a dull moment with their Suzie. She had always been fun, but the joy she brought to them now was beyond anything they could ever have imagined. Every day brought a new level of closeness to their bond.
Turning on the warm water of the shower and stepping inside the huge enclosure, he grabbed for the soap and quickly lathered his hands and ran them across his body. This was going to be the fastest shower in history. His cock was pointing straight up toward his abs. He wanted her so badly he hurt.
Rinsing off quickly, he stepped out of the shower, grabbed a bath towel, and quickly rubbed at his body and his hair. Throwing the towel into the sink, he pulled open the bathroom door and entered the bedroom, the scent of arousal and need hitting him immediately.
“Enough, baby!” Drew growled, reaching down and grabbing Suzie’s upper arms and pulling her up into his embrace. His spit-soaked cock was trapped between their bodies as he surrounded her with his arms and attacked her mouth.
Carter walked over to the side table,
opening the top drawer, and removing the sleek bottle of lube they would need. Just the thought of both he and Drew being deep inside of their mate at the same time made his cock jerk with anticipation. The memory of the tight warmth of her channel hugging him and drawing him deeper was almost enough to make him spill his seed right then.
Reaching down, he gripped the base of his shaft and squeezed it between his thumb and forefinger, giving himself the right amount of pain to remain in control. There was no way he was going to come until he was deep inside their woman.
Turning, he climbed onto the bed and made his way toward Suzie and Drew. Drew was holding Suzie tightly against his chest, stroking her hair and back slowly as he took deep, calming breaths.
“Mate, you make me lose control,” Drew whispered against the side of her face.
Suzie leaned back and smiled up at him. “Good,” she whispered, winking boldly.
Carter leaned against Suzie’s back, breathing in her scent as he nuzzled against the side of her neck. “Are you ready to be taken?” he asked her softly.
“Yes,” Suzie whispered.
“How did I tell you I wanted you?” he asked her gruffly.
“But Drew pulled me up into his arms,” Suzie protested. She tried to scoot back so that her ass was presented just as he demanded.
Carter looked at Drew and smiled. “I guess I’ll have to let it go that you weren’t in position,” he allowed. “I certainly can’t fault Drew for wanting to hold you.”
He reached down and grabbed Suzie’s hips, pulling her back so that she knelt with her sweet bottom presented to him nicely. He reached forward and pushed her head so that she rested against Drew’s abdomen comfortably. He swiped his fingers through Suzie’s swollen lips, cupping her mound and squeezing it gently. He groaned as his hand was covered in the wetness that was dripping from her.
Grabbing the material of her T-shirt that he had used to tie her hands at her side, he twisted it tightly to secure her hands snugly against her hips. He smiled with satisfaction as Suzie’s moan of need filled the room. Taking hold of his cock, he positioned the head at their mate’s dripping channel and plunged deeply in one smooth thrust. Suzie’s gasp and moan made him freeze.
