Pepper's Journey Home [Grey River 9] (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour)

by Maia Dylan

  Chapter Ten

  Pepper had difficulty getting her body to remain calm. Shivers of sensation still rocketed through her, and despite the release she had experienced just moments before, she still felt needy. She watched as Tomas knelt up between her thighs and shuffled forward, gently lifting her legs and laying them over his thighs.

  “Goddamn, you are so beautiful,” Tomas whispered, and Pepper’s heart swelled. “Look at you.” She felt the blunt head of his cock press against her, and she moaned. Tomas’s grin was nothing short of wicked. “In this position, niña, I can control the tempo and ensure that I don’t hurt you. The added advantage is that I can watch every emotion, every facial expression as I take you for the first time. If it didn’t sound kinda creepy, I’d ask if you would mind if I recorded this.”

  Pepper shocked herself with her own laughter. “I’m not sure I’ll ever allow something like that.”

  “He wouldn’t dare,” Diego said as he ran his hands over her shoulders and down her arms over and over. “He’d be too afraid that someone else would see you, when all this beauty is for our eyes and our eyes only.”

  Tomas pushed forward with his hips, and Pepper felt him slide even farther inside her. “I can feel you flutter around my cock, niña. So hot.”

  Pepper had to agree. It was one thing to see the images in their dreams and wonder what it would be like to be in this moment, but it was a different thing altogether to actually be here. She felt an unfamiliar tightness within her, and Tomas stopped. Pepper whimpered, her head thrashing against Diego in denial.

  “Please!” She had no idea what she was asking him to do, but she just knew he had to do it now.

  Tomas suddenly reached down and rubbed against her clit, and Pepper arched off the bed. The feeling of him within her and the touch of his thumb against her was enough to rocket her into another release, this one she was completely unprepared for. She shouted and arched her back. Through the throes of her release, she was aware that Tomas moved, and she felt a slight pinch within her, and then this overwhelming sense of fullness.

  “There, baby, it’s over.” Tomas’s voice was strained, and Pepper fought to open her eyes to look up at him. “You’ve got me.”

  Tomas was staring intently at her, his eyes blazing with flickers of the arctic blue she knew to be his wolf. There was a sweep of red in his face that simply added to his olive complexion, but it was the possessiveness in his expression that made her shiver.

  Tomas withdrew, then pushed back inside her, and Pepper moaned as white-hot bursts of pleasure exploded within her. The feeling was like nothing she had ever experienced before.

  “Oh, God, Tomas,” Pepper said in a breathless voice. “You feel so good inside me. Please move, please.”

  Tomas grinned, and she could see a fine sheen of sweat on his skin. “You feel pretty fucking incredible yourself. Hold on tight, my love. I’m gonna give you what you need.”

  Then he was moving within her and into her in a steady powerful rhythm, one that seemed to be designed to drive her crazy. It was stimulating and powerful and felt so good, but it was still not enough. She wanted more. And from the way he seemed to hold himself so still, his jaw tight, she knew he needed something more, too.

  She lifted her hips, pressing them against his with tight revolutions. “Harder, Tomas. Fuck me harder.”

  Tomas’s jaw dropped, and his steady thrusts faltered for a moment. Pepper grinned when she realized she’d shocked her dominant wolf. Then he was moving with quick movements of his hips. The moments weren’t as steady or as synchronized as they had been before. Tomas moved as if he had no control over his actions, and that was exactly what she needed from him.

  Soon the ability to think coherently was lost to her. Everything was lost as she gave herself over to the sensations Tomas was building within her. She could feel her body tightening as her release rushed toward her. Tomas growled low and tilted his hips, a move that had him unerringly hitting against something within her that threw her into her orgasm with such force she could do nothing to stop it.

  “Tomas!” She heard herself scream his name as her body convulsed against Diego.

  “Madre de dios,” Diego growled from behind her.

  She was aware of his hands slipping around her, cupping her breasts, and squeezing her nipples between his fingers. She felt Tomas tense, and then his roar filled the room, and she felt his release within her.

  Tomas thrust into her three more times, creating ripples of pleasure within her, before he collapsed, leaning forward on his hands, caging her in in the most delicious way.

  “Christ, niña.” Tomas’s voice sounded hoarse, and she was thankful that his breathing seemed as labored as hers. “That was the most amazing feeling in the world.” When he leaned forward, she felt him slide from her body and whimpered at the loss.

  Tomas leaned over completely, pressing his lips to hers in two soft kisses. “Thank you, my love,” he whispered.

  Pepper smiled as she lifted a hand to cup his handsome face. “I think you stole my line.

  Tomas shook his head. “No, you gave me a gift. A gift so precious it is beyond compare.”

  Pepper smiled back and went to sit up, but both men held her in place.

  “Wait a moment, my love,” Tomas said as he scrambled off the bed. “Let me get something to clean you up.”

  Tomas seemed to weave across the room toward the bathroom, and Diego laughed out loud. “You having a little trouble there, hermano?”

  “Fuck you, Diego,” Tomas grunted, flipping him and not even looking back. “Out mate has the ability to take your knees, and you will learn that for yourself.”

  Pepper liked the sound of that. She also loved the idea of having Diego in the same way she had just had Tomas. Surprisingly, she felt hot and needy all over again.

  “Diego,” she whispered. “I want you, too.”

  Diego’s eyes flared with need even as he frowned. “Baby, we have the rest of our lives. You have to be sore. I can wait.”

  Pepper felt Tomas slide a warm wet cloth between her legs and was struck with a sudden thought. “I can go and shower if you would rather. I—”

  She was cut off from saying anything further when Diego leaned down and took her mouth in a hard kiss. It was strange as their faces weren’t aligned, but it was hot as hell. It reminded her of a scene she had watched in a Spiderman movie when the girl kissed Spidey while he was hanging upside down. She had thought at the moment that it seemed odd, but from now on, she was a firm believer. She moaned when Diego bit gently into her bottom lip before pulling back.

  “There will be none of that, cariño,” Diego whispered as he moved out from beneath her, and lay down beside her. “Sex is natural, beautiful, and, when done correctly, messy as hell. But I want all of it with you. I have no problems with watching you with my brother.” He placed her left hand on his cock. “All you have to do is feel what you do to me.”

  Pepper bit her bottom lip as heat pooled between her thighs. “You feel like silk in my hand. Hard, hot steel covered in soft silk. Can I—”

  She stopped as she struggled to get her request out. “Tell me, cariño,” Diego whispered as he started to lay a string of kisses across her cheek and down her neck. “Tell me what you want, and if it is within my power, it’s yours.”

  Pepper looked up at him from beneath lowered lashes. “Can I take you in my mouth?”

  Diego froze, and she heard a distinct groan from Tomas where he now lay pressed against her back. “Fuck, yes.” Diego’s wolf was clear in his voice, and Pepper realized how her request affected him. Diego knelt up and went to move, to where she had no idea, but when his initial move put his cock close to her, she leaned in and took him in.

  “Christ! Shit! Damn!” Diego shouted. He lifted his hands to slide his fingers into her hair, gripping it tightly. Pepper had read a book about this act once. One of her guards, a gay male guard who liked to read when on duty, had left it behind. She had been shocked
when she read it at first, but when the author described this act of giving oral pleasure to her lover, they made it sound so powerful and alluring, Pepper had wondered about. In fact, since Tomas and Diego had come into her life, she had thought about it a lot.

  She started with tentative sucks up and down his cock. Experimenting with how much of him she could take at one time, and when it became clear to her that she couldn’t get anywhere near the base, she used her hand to help. Soon Diego was growling continuously, and she could feel echoes of his delight down their bond. She was starting to really get into a rhythm, when she felt Tomas’s hand slide down her tummy, directly for her clit. She threw her head back as Tomas started to circle his finger around the swollen nub of her clit.

  “Christ,” Diego said in a shaky voice as he sat back on his haunches. “If you hadn’t distracted her, Tomas, I would have come in her mouth.”

  Pepper groaned. “I wanted you, too! I wanted to taste you.” She kept her gaze locked to Diego’s even as she rotated her hips and moved against Tomas’s hand.

  Diego’s eyes flashed with heat, and then he was lifting her off the mattress and moving her until she straddled his hips. “And you will, baby, if that is what you want. But I don’t want to come in your mouth. Not this time. I want to feel you shatter around my cock as you take me. You were so damn beautiful flying for my brother. I want to give that to you, too.”

  Pepper felt the blunt tip of his cock pressing against her, and suddenly she was all for that plan.

  * * * *

  Diego groaned as Pepper remained staring into his eyes and then lowered herself over him, impaling herself on his cock. He thought that she might be a little hesitant or that she would have to work to take him, but he hadn’t given his mate enough credit. She wanted this as much as he did. Her pussy flooded with wet heat, and she slid down to the hilt with two rotations of her slim hips.

  “Oh, Diego,” she breathed against his neck, her slim arms gripping him tightly. “You feel so good within me.”

  Diego gritted his teeth, desperately fighting to keep from coming too soon. “Trust me, cariño, it’s fucking fantastic for me, too.”

  Pepper’s frame was shaking, and Diego became concerned. “Pepper, are you okay?”

  Tomas pressed forward to lean against her back, and Diego shot him a look. “Baby, are you sore? Talk to us, sweetness.”

  Pepper pulled back to look at him, and Diego lost his breath at the need in her expression. “I want to…to move, but I don’t know how. Not in this position!”

  Tomas shushed her, calming her with caresses, and helped her to move her legs so she could place her feet flat against the mattress. “Here you go, niña. Press up. Move the way you want to. Diego and I can help you. Take what you need, my love.”

  Diego groaned as Pepper found purchase on the mattress and began to ride him. His hold on her hips flexed convulsively as she added a slow rotation to her hips. From the way she shuddered against him, he knew her movements had him rubbing against her sweet spot. It took all his control to sit back and allow his mate the ability to move. She was so damn sexy when she moved on him like that. All he wanted to do was roll over, lay her on her back, and slam into her. Drive her as crazy as she was him.

  He heard her breath hitch and felt her ripple around his cock and knew she was close, but knew that she was reaching her physical limits.

  “Tomas, help her,” he sent down their link.

  His brother wrapped his arms around their mate, placing them under her knees, and lifted her slightly. Once Tomas held her securely, Diego began to move. He flexed his hips, slamming up into her, reveling in her cries of pleasure and delight at the move. He knew he couldn’t withstand the pace or pleasure for too long. The effects of her mouth and now her body were too damn much for any man to withstand for long, and that familiar tightening at the base of his spine told him that the end was fast approaching.

  Determined to feel her shatter around him before he gave himself over to the pleasure, he slid his hand around her hip and pressed against her the swollen nub of her clit. Pepper jerked and tensed between him and Tomas for a few seconds before she threw her head back and screamed her release to the room.

  He felt her body ripple strongly around him, and heat flooded around his cock from her release and that was as much as he could take. Tomas let go of their mate, and Diego tugged her down, impaling himself to the hilt as he wrapped her tightly to his chest. He groaned her name as his body released everything he had to his mate. Pepper was everything he had ever hoped to find in a mate. She was everything he never knew he needed.

  Pepper was everything.

  Chapter Eleven

  “So,” Diego said on a sigh, staring up at the building before them. “You reckon faking a heart attack would help delay this, and would that result in an ass kicking that we could not only survive, but also heal from in less than a month? Or not.”

  Tomas chuckled. “No idea, hermano. But I can tell you this. I think the waiting is worse. We might as well head on in and take whatever the Alphas want to dish out. Then at least we can stop looking over our shoulders.”

  Diego nodded and pretended to drag his feet as they stepped toward the sheriff’s office. Tomas was pleased to see that Diego was as goofy and carefree as he had been as a child. Over the years, he and his brother had dealt with so many scarred rogues, hell-bent on destroying as many people as they could. They had seen so many horrors that it was impossible for it not to have affected them. Diego lost his ability to smile freely a long time ago, and it did Tomas’s heart good to see him back to his old self at times. He knew that he had Pepper to thank for it.

  They stepped into the building and grinned at the red-haired woman who stood in the reception area, a double baby carriage in front of her. Tomas could see the identical boys were currently zonked out in the carriage, smiling at the T-shirts they wore. One had CTRL C on the front of his and the other wore one with CTRL V. Copy and Paste. Totally worked for them, for as far as Tomas could see, they were as identical as their fathers.

  “I wondered if you boys would suck up enough courage to actually step inside. I would have given you a few more minutes, and then I was going to step out and yell at y’all to stop being a bunch of pussies.” Faith’s eyes lit up. “Ha! See what I did there? I called you all pussies even though you’re wolves. That’s funny.”

  Tomas stepped up to the Alpha mate and pressed a kiss to her cheek. “Good to see you, Faith. How are the boys?”

  Faith stared at him wryly as she hugged him. “Which ones? My babies are a delight and are currently clocking up the z’s before spending the afternoon with their daddies, and my older ones headed into the conference room about five minutes ago with Hunter and Dane. Sometimes I feel like I am raising two sets of twins, and I don’t know which ones cause me more grief.”

  Faith turned to welcome Diego in the same way.

  “I’m gonna say that Ty and Trent will be the bigger handful,” Diego said as he released the tiny woman and stepped back. “I mean, the bigger they are, the harder they are to wrangle, or at least that’s what our mother always said.”

  Faith nodded. “I think you might be right.” Faith’s expression turned fierce. “You know, when you took Pepper from this town, they wanted to form a lynch mob and bring you back by the balls.”

  “Yeah.” Tomas nodded, looking Faith right in the eye. “We got that from her sisters. But we will not apologize for doing what we had to, to save our mate.”

  Faith’s grin was quick in coming, and Tomas thought they might risk whiplash trying to keep up with the changes. “I love that about shifters. When you love, you love completely. We all get that and are all thankful that you’ve brought her back to us.” Pepper checked her watch. “Shit, speaking of your mate and her sisters, I’m gonna be late for midday margaritas if I don’t get going.”

  “Midday margaritas?” Diego asked dryly. “I thought Melaina picked Pepper up this morning to take her to work out and
then to lunch.”

  Faith nodded. “Well, yeah. Workouts first, then rehydrate with tequila-based beverages over lunch at Country Blue. That is how we roll. Now, I gotta get outta here and get your girl the T-shirt I had made for her. I got it in a deep red to match her hair, and it is going to look soooo fucking kick-ass!” Tomas had no clue what she was talking about, but couldn’t help smiling at how excited she looked. “After Ty and Trent finish with you, can you remind them that they have to come pick up the boys from me at Xanthe’s?”

  “What if they’re too busy kicking our ass from here to Arkansas and back?” Tomas teased. “You might have to postpone your lunch.”

  “Oh, hell no.” Tomas turned at the sound of Ty’s voice as he stepped out of the large conference room at the side of the reception area. “Trent and I know exactly what she’s going to be picking up at Xanthe’s, and those benefits are most definitely going to be mutual. A deal’s a deal, so we’ll be there, sweetness. You can count on that.” Tomas thought you would have to be deaf to not hear the promise in the Alpha’s tone.

  Faith winked at her mate. “I am counting on it. You know how I feel after a few tequilas. Now, play nice with the other kids.” With that, the whirlwind Alpha female blew her man a kiss and strode out of the station.

  Ty sighed. “Damn, I love watching that woman walk away.” Tomas went to turn, but froze when the room filled with the pressure of an Alpha. “Trent and I get to enjoy that view. You look too closely, and I’ll introduce you to your own intestines.”

  Tomas tilted his head to the side in submission. “No offense implied, Ty. I would feel the same way if someone wanted to stare at our mate.”

  “And that is what we are here to talk about. Well, that and another issue I would like your help with, but first things first.” With a speed Tomas had only witnessed from the man when he fought, Ty moved forward, slamming his fist into first Diego’s face and then Tomas’s.
