“How are you settling in?” Tessa asked.
“Good, thank you.”
“You look more rested,” Melissa said. “Did you sleep well?”
“Yeah. Last night was the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a while.”
“Why? What’s wrong?” Sara asked after glancing toward the end of the table and leaning forward.
“Uh…I’ve had a few problems back home.” Prim looked down at the table again and relaxed when it didn’t seem that anyone was taking any notice of them.
“What sort of problems?” Tessa asked with a frown of concern on her face.
And that was the moment that Primrose felt like she fit in amongst these people. Of course, she already knew Mel and Sara, but seeing the concern on Tessa’s face made her realize that they could become great friends, too. And the welcome she got from all the men had made her feel warm inside. She started quietly to explain what had been going on and kept glancing at the end of the table to make sure the men weren’t listening in.
Once she’d finished, Tessa reached over and patted her arm. “I’m even gladder you’re here now, after hearing about that. At least you’ll be safe and can get some rest. I can’t believe the cops think you’re paranoid. Sometimes men have no brains.”
“I agree with that statement,” Sara piped up. “Some men only think with the head in their pants. They were probably too enthralled by your beauty.”
Prim blushed and smiled at Sara. “Thank you, but I’m not pretty.”
“Oh, come on,” Tessa said with exasperation. “Surely you look in the mirror every morning.”
“I do, but there’s nothing special about me, I’m just an ordinary woman.”
Tessa smiled and took baby Jake from Prim when he started fussing. “I can tell we are all going to get along like a house on fire. You fit in with us, Prim. Make sure you think really hard before you decide to leave. You would be a great addition to our school once it’s complete. I would love to have you and Melissa teaching all the kids.”
“Thank you. I think I’d really like that,” she whispered, and noticed that all three women were smiling at her.
Although she’d already made up her mind to mate with Palmer, Ed, and Barrett as well as move here, being accepted by these people affirmed her decision.
She shifted in her seat as she thought about Palmer, Ed, and Barrett’s reaction once she told them she wanted to stay, and her lust increased tenfold.
How the hell was she going to react when they actually started touching, kissing, and making love to her?
Chapter Six
Palmer was so angry he wanted to punch a wall or rip someone’s head off. Preferably the cops for thinking his mate was imagining things, and the asshole who had been terrorizing his woman. Even though he and his brothers and all the other men had been discussing security, he had also been listening to the women. When he heard about that bastard hitting on her at school, and then about whoever had been scaring his mate, he wanted to shout with fury. But when he heard her saying she thought she’d like teaching the pack kids, his anger dissipated and hope and joy filled his heart.
He looked at his brothers and saw the excitement in their eyes, and knew they had been listening to the women, too, but underlying that hope was concern for her as well.
“Do you think she’s going to accept being our mate?” Barrett asked.
“I fucking hope so,” Edison answered.
“I don’t think she’d move jobs unless she was seriously thinking about it,” Palmer said.
“Wait, don’t get your hopes up too high just yet,” Edison said. “She may want to change jobs because of that dickhead at her school and whoever is scaring her, but we don’t even know if she is going to move to live here yet.”
“She seems to be getting along with our queen,” Barrett said. “That has to be a plus.”
“Tessa gets along with nearly everyone, and it seems our mate does, too.” Ed glanced at Barrett. “There’s only two people Tessa didn’t like, and they are both dead, but none of us really got on with Stephanie or Brett.”
“No one liked them,” Palmer said, then met his brothers’ gazes again. “How are we going to get her to mate with us?”
“We don’t,” Edison answered. “We can’t force her to do anything she doesn’t want to, Palmer. It has to be her decision and her decision alone. That means no coercion or seducing her into accepting us.”
“You don’t need to tell me that,” Palmer snapped. “You know none of us would deliberately do anything to hurt her or take her choices away from her.”
“Yeah, I know. Sorry. I guess we’re all a little anxious and excited about finding our mate, and my wolf is getting harder to control.”
“So is mine.” Barrett sighed. “God, I love her so much.”
“My wolf’s giving me hell, too.” Palmer nodded and then he looked up when he saw the women getting up from the table. Primrose glanced toward him and his brothers and then she followed Melissa and Sara out of the room. He looked up at his Alpha and saw that he was watching them with a smile on his face.
“You can go,” Luc said. “Go and spend time with your mate. “Some of the others can take over your patrols for a while.”
“Thank you,” Palmer replied, and then he and his brothers hurried out after Prim. They caught up with her and then moved close so they could smell her delectable scent.
“Did you enjoy meeting Tessa, honey?” Ed asked.
“Yes. She’s a nice lady and baby Jake is so cute.”
“Do you plan on having kids, baby?” Barrett asked.
“Yeah,” she answered in a dreamy voice. “I love kids. That was one of the reasons I chose teaching. It’s such a rewarding job.”
Palmer grabbed her hand as they walked up her porch steps. She stopped at the door and met his gaze before looking at his brothers.
“I’ve decided to hand my notice in at school and move here. I can see the need you all have for another teacher besides Melissa. How many school-aged kids are living here?”
Palmer pictured the pack kids in his mind. “Twenty, I think.”
Primrose frowned. “That’s not many. Melissa could handle them all by herself.”
“Yes, she could,” Barrett said. “But she has a new baby and it would be better if she didn’t have to work full-time. She already has her hands full with Carmen and I’m sure she’d appreciate having another teacher she could rely on. Besides, there is no way Damian and Luke are going to let her work hours on end. They need to spend time with their mate, too.”
“Oh, I hadn’t thought about that.”
Palmer sighed with relief when the frown left her face. He cupped her cheek and brought her gaze back to his. “So are you still going to move here?”
“Yes,” Prim said. “This place is so nice and quiet. The air is so fresh and it’s peaceful. You are all so lucky to live here.”
“You’re going to be lucky, too, sugar.” Palmer leaned down and kissed her lightly on the lips, and his heart soared when she reached out and clutched at his arms before trying to get closer to him. As much as he wanted to deepen the kiss, his wolf was pushing at him to claim her and he needed to know she was on board with them before they got too hot and heavy. Plus, they were out in the open and he didn’t want to embarrass her by stripping her clothes off and exposing her to the rest of the pack. Besides, he didn’t want any other man seeing her naked except him and his brothers unless it was absolutely necessary. She was theirs and theirs alone. No one else would ever get to see her sexy body if he had anything to say about it.
Palmer lifted his head and then guided her inside. Ed and Barrett following them, and closed the door behind them.
“Come and sit down, sugar. We need to talk.” He guided her to the sofa and sat down beside her. Edison sat on her other side and Barrett kneeled on the floor in front of her.
“What is it?” Prim asked, while he looked at each of his brothers with a quirked eyebrow before meet
ing her gaze.
He was pleased that Edison and Barrett nodded and that they were in agreement with him. “We want to know if you’ll let us make love to you and claim you.”
Prim nibbled on her lip and after a few moments, she started talking. “I don’t know how any of this will work. I don’t know why I feel so drawn to all of you, but I do. I feel like I belong here and the thought of leaving makes my heart ache. So yes, I want you all to claim and make love to me.”
Palmer’s heart filled with love and happiness at Primrose’s answer. His first instinct was to remove her clothes and bury his cock into her body, but even though she’d given them the go-ahead, she still looked a little unsure.
Ed must have seen her uncertainty, too. “If we do this, honey, you can’t ever leave us. We will be connected heart, mind, and soul for the rest of our lives. Please make sure this is really what you want. You’ll never be able to walk away from us.”
“I don’t want to walk away,” Prim said quietly, but her voice was full of conviction.
Palmer couldn’t hold back anymore. He clasped her waist and lifted her from the cushion, and then brought her onto his lap. She looked up at him and he lowered his head to hers. He kissed her like he’d never kissed her before, letting all his hunger show and trying to portray in his kiss how much he loved her and how much she meant to him.
She moaned into his mouth as his tongue swirled around hers and he pushed his hand beneath the hem of her shirt. Her skin was so soft and warm, and he knew he would never get tired of touching her, kissing her, or loving her. She was so beautiful and responsive, but he needed so much more of her. Keeping their mouths connected as he kissed her voraciously, he slowly caressed his way up her belly, to the underside of her bra-clad breast, and nearly groaned with triumph when she arched her chest into him as if begging him to touch her. He growled into her mouth and then cupped her breast in his hand, flicking his thumb across her hard little bud.
When he broke the kiss, he looked down into her flushed face and had a hard time keeping his wolf at bay. His animal wanted to lick over the skin where her shoulder and neck met and bite into her flesh to leave his mark on her and claim her, and even though he wanted that, too, he wanted to be buried deep inside her first.
Palmer placed one arm under her knees and the other around her shoulders and rose to his feet, taking her with him, before striding toward her bedroom. He gently placed her on the bed and then followed her down, covering her body with his, and started kissing her again. The kiss was long and deeply passionate and although he wanted to go on kissing her, he wanted her naked.
Ed and Barrett got onto the bed on either side of her and then, with his help, they removed her clothes. He gasped when he saw how curvy and sexy she was, and his hard cock jerked in his pants. His first instinct was to pull his dick free and sink into her, but she was his and his brothers’ mate and deserved so much more than a quick fuck. After taking a deep breath, he nodded at his brothers and they all rose from the bed and started to strip off.
Palmer kept his eyes connected with hers the whole time he undressed and watched every little expression on her face. The pink flush of arousal deepened to a darker hue, her areolae puckered even more, and her nipples hardened further, while she moved her legs closer together and she sighed.
Once he and his brothers were naked, they all got back onto the bed and started caressing over her body. He savored her soft, smooth skin beneath the palms on his hands and fingertips as they moved up her legs toward her pussy and gently pressed her legs out.
He closed his eyes and inhaled the delicious aroma of her sweet, musky desire for a moment, and then he settled onto the bed between her spread legs, kissing and licking over her belly. When he heard her moan, he looked up to see that Barrett was kissing her and Ed was sucking on a nipple while plucking at the other one with his finger and thumb.
After shifting to a more comfortable position, he spread her labia with his thumb and finger and then licked lightly over her clit. Her groan was swallowed by Barrett, but she arched her hips up into his face. Palmer wrapped his arms around her thighs, spreading her legs wider, and then he started eating her out with an intensity he’d never felt before. She tasted so damn good, but he wanted more. He licked his tongue through her folds from top to bottom and then pressed his muscle into her hole, advancing and retreating as he fucked her with it.
Her mewls of passion only made him more determined to give her as much pleasure as he could. When her hips began rocking in time to his thrusting tongue he knew she was ready for more. Palmer removed his tongue from her hole and then brought a finger into play. He rimmed her cum-dripping entrance and then slowly began to push into her. His groan of approval as her pussy clenched around the tip of his finger joined her moan of pleasure, and then he pressed in more while he flicked his tongue back and forth over her engorged pearl. More cream wept from her pussy, covering his pumping finger and hand, and he set about ratcheting up the pace and sending her over the edge.
* * * *
Prim’s whole body was on fire. She moaned as Palmer thrust his finger in and out of her cunt while lapping at her clitoris. Barrett and Ed were both suckling on her breasts, her hard, sensitive nipples, and with each draw of their mouths on her tits, sparks raced down to her clit and womb. She could have cried with frustration when Palmer withdrew his finger from her pussy, but a moment later he was back with two, stretching her tissues and stroking the inner walls of her cunt. The friction of his pumping fingers was exquisite and heat traveled through her veins, making her feel totally boneless. With each shove forward, the pressure inside her began to build and her languid muscles began to tense up.
Barrett lifted his head from her nipple, cupped her cheek, and stared down into her eyes. “You like what Palmer’s doing to you, baby?”
“Yes,” she moaned her answer.
“Just imagine how good you’re gonna feel when we are all making love to you at the same time. Can you imagine having one of us in your pussy, another of us in your ass, while the other fucks that sexy mouth?”
“Oh God.” Her pussy clenched and released more cream.
Palmer lifted his head. “She likes that idea, bro. She just creamed all over my hand.”
“Oh!” Prim cried when Palmer began to pump his fingers in and out of her at a faster pace and sucked on her clit.
“I’m so fucking hard for you right now, baby,” Barrett rasped. “I can’t wait to have my cock in your cunt while I claim you.”
“Do it!” Prim begged in a loud voice.
Ed lifted his head from her breast. “Not yet, honey. But real soon. We need to take you one-on-one first. You’re not ready for all three of us yet.”
Ed leaned down and started kissing her. She reached up, grabbed hold of his hair, and kissed him back with a hunger she’d never thought to experience. The mating musk was so much stronger and she felt as if she was drowning in their scents and their passion.
Barrett started sucking on a nipple again while Ed kissed her, and then she cried out when Palmer rubbed his fingers over a supersensitive spot deep inside her. The pressure inside was so astronomical she began sobbing each time he touched her there. Then all of a sudden, Palmer sucked her clit into his mouth and suckled on it.
Prim arched her neck, tilting her head back, breaking the kiss with Ed, and screamed. Her insides contracted, her pussy clamped down on Palmer’s fingers and let go, and cream dripped from her cunt. Over and over she spasmed and quaked with rapture from the tips of her toes to the top her head as she orgasmed, until finally the last quiver waned and she lay on the bed in a pile of replete mush.
She groaned when Palmer eased his fingers from her vagina and gasped for breath as she opened her eyes and looked down the length of her body. When she saw him smile at her, she couldn’t help but smile back, but then he did something so damn sexy, her just-satiated pussy clenched with renewed interest. Palmer brought his fingers to his mouth and sucked them clean.
<
br /> Once he finished licking her cum from his fingers, he winked at her. “You taste so fucking good, sugar. One day real soon, I am going to spend hours drinking down your juices.”
“Oh!” Prim gasped.
Palmer crawled up her body, bracketing her on his hands and knees, and then stared deeply into her eyes. “Can we make a baby with you, Primrose?”
Prim’s eyes burned with tears and even though she wanted to say yes because of the yearning deep inside, she didn’t think they should rush into anything more than they already were. She would love to have Palmer, Edison, and Barrett’s babies, but she needed more time. She’d only met them the day before and she was already acting out of character by agreeing to be their mate. She glanced over at Ed and then Barrett to see them both staring at her with lust, but there was also more than desire in their eyes. She could see that they already had strong feelings for her and although she did for them, too, she wanted to wait before bringing a child into the world.
Finally, she met Palmer’s gaze, reached up, and cupped his cheek. He closed his eyes and then turned his head before nuzzling and then kissing her palm. “I’m not saying no to having babies in the future, but I think we need more time together before we even think about bringing another life into the world.”
Palmer leaned over and rested his forehead against hers. “Okay, sugar, we’ll give you the time you need to get to know us more. But if you change your mind, you let us know.”
Prim nodded.
“Are you on the pill, honey?” Ed asked.
“Yes.”
“Can we make love to you without condoms?” Palmer asked. “We’re clean, sugar. Werewolves don’t get sexually transmitted diseases.”
“I would really like that,” Prim whispered.
Palmer shifted and then his fingers were caressing through her slick folds. She moaned and then gasped when he strummed a finger over her clit, bringing her arousal back to new heights. When she felt his hard cock against her pussy, she shifted, wriggled, and arched up, trying to get him inside her.
