Declan’s nostrils flared as he sensed her response. She licked his chin and a shudder ran down his body.
“Why did you need to keep a clear head? I never gave you any reason to be on your guard.”
“It wasn’t about you. It was about me not being able to give you what you were looking for and about what you were doing to the pack.”
She frowned. “I didn’t do anything to the pack.”
“Your presence changed everything.”
“And now?”
He shrugged. Muscles ripped through his shoulders. “Now, we’ll figure it out.” He smiled. “You let your wolf out.”
She wrapped her legs around his and lifted her hips. His cock was beginning to soften. She wanted him hard again.
“I let my wolf out,” she said, biting her lip as another wave of desire passed through her. “And now she doesn’t want to go back.”
A flicker of wolflight passed through his eyes and his expression grew more intent. “I think you’re peaking.”
“What does that mean?”
He sat up, pulling away from her body. She flinched, feeling bereft. Worse than that, she felt horribly empty. “Declan? I need… I need…”
“I’ll get the others,” he said. “We need them in here too.”
“What’s happening?”
He glanced back. “Don’t worry. We’ll take care of you, little wolf. Hold on for a few minutes. It’s going to be a rocky ride.”
Chapter Six
The door cracked open and Eli walked into the room. He drew up short when he saw Declan rising from the bed.
“What the hell?” Eli’s eyes narrowed on Declan. “I heard a scream.”
Declan grinned. “I’m sure you did.”
Eli’s hand curled into a fist. “You didn’t force her.”
Declan raised a brow. “Is that a question?”
Maggie couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Of course, he had to turn it into a fight. She caught Eli’s gaze, gave him the happy news that he had a new pack mate, and then turned back to Declan. “What does peaking mean?”
“It means you’ve been in heat for days and haven’t conceived yet. Your body’s giving you one last push.”
“What if I don’t conceive?”
Declan leaned down, sliding his hand around her nape and squeezing. It was a curiously comforting gesture. “You wouldn’t have gone into heat if your body wasn’t capable of conceiving a child. You will.”
He kissed her and started for the door, shoving Eli toward the bed. “Take care of her.”
Declan slipped through the door and she felt a pang of regret at that. She wanted to know more about him, to understand him better. He’d been afraid that she would try to control him and she wondered who had put that fear in him. Her wolf felt strongly compelled to protect her position of power within the pack, but she would never try to slip a collar around Declan’s neck. He was wrong about her. But he probably wouldn’t believe it if she told him that. She would have to prove it to him and she would, no matter how long it took.
She turned her attention to Eli who was quickly discarding his clothes. She drank in the sight of him. His shoulders were as broad as Declan’s, his body just as thick and powerful. An image came to her of being pressed between the two men as she had been between Carson and Jack. She didn’t know if she could handle that, but she wanted to try. Flesh. Skin. Sex. She wanted to try everything. She cupped her breasts to ease the ache.
Eli groaned. “God, you’re gorgeous.”
He kicked his jeans aside as Carson stepped into the room. He looked uncertainly from her to Eli. “Declan said you needed help? Does that mean what I hope it means?”
“It does,” Eli said, walking to the bed. “She’s hurting.”
“It doesn’t hurt,” she said. “Not exactly.”
Eli wrapped his hand around her ankle and his touch jolted straight up her leg to her pussy. He pulled, positioning her so that her legs hung over the side of the bed. She couldn’t see Carson anymore, but she heard the rustle of his clothing as he undressed. She heard a light footstep outside the door and Case’s low voice.
Eli’s hands gripped her thighs, opening her. She felt momentarily self-conscious at his blatant regard, but Eli looked at her like a starving man presented with a feast, and that sense of shame that Aunt Tildy had drilled into her lost its grip. No shame. There was no place for that here.
These men were her mates. They cared for her. They wanted her. She could feel that through the bonds that tied them together. The pack bond seemed stronger now that they were gathered together like this. Eli, Case and Carson circled the bed, staring down at her with hungry intent. Their eyes glowed with wolflight and their faces looked strange to her, stark with lust, almost inhuman with their wolves pulled so close to the surface. She could feel Jack, anxious, making his way upstairs with Declan a step behind.
Her pack, answering the call of her need.
Eli drew her attention, skimming his hard palms up her thighs. His thumbs gently spread open the folds of her sex. His gaze flicked up to her face. “You’re ready?”
“God, yes.”
“Good.”
He grabbed hold of his cock and stroked himself once before fitting the tip to her pussy. He pushed into her slowly. He was thicker than Declan, though not quite as long, and he had to withdraw from her swollen flesh before nudging himself forward again. The mattress shifted slightly as Carson and Case climbed onto the bed with her.
The door swung open and Jack stepped into the room. He stopped, taking it in. “Fucking hell.”
Declan pushed him forward. “Everyone helps. She needs us.”
Jack shot him an incredulous look. “You think any of us would turn her away?”
Case cradled her jaw and turned her to face him. His thumb pressed lightly against her lower lip, opening her mouth. “You want all of us?”
She flushed. “The wolf wants.”
His expression softened, his handsome features easing into a wry smile. “I see that. Your eyes are blazing. I need to know it’s what you want too.”
Eli withdrew and slid neatly into her. She felt the press of his balls against her ass. Her eyes nearly rolled back in her head. Case’s hand tightened on her jaw. He gave her a little shake. “Focus.”
Her eyes fluttered open. “I claimed Declan.”
“Good.” Case pressed a kiss to her forehead. She lifted her chin and captured his mouth before he could withdraw. With a shaky groan, he kissed her back. He slid his thumb into her mouth and then his tongue. When he withdrew, he said, “Tell me you want this, honey. I need to hear the words.”
“Yes. I want this. I want you. All of my mates.”
“Then that’s what you’ll have. I’ll make sure it doesn’t go too far.”
She wrapped her fingers around his wrist before he could pull away. “No.”
He raised his eyebrows, waiting.
“I don’t want you to hold anything back. You, especially. Promise me, Case.”
He hesitated, his eyes darkening, but then nodded. He looked at Eli. “Lift her up.”
Eli didn’t hesitate and she was too far gone to question what Case had in mind. Normally, she would want details, but right now she only wanted more. Eli hooked his hands under her knees, and Case wrapped an arm around her back to pull her up. Her breasts flattened against Eli’s hard chest. She wrapped her hands around his neck and gravity pulled her onto his cock. He stepped away from the bed and someone’s chest pressed against her back. Case. It was Case. She knew the scent and feel of him. The rock solid confidence in the hands that rested on her hips and the low rumble of the voice that touched her ear. “Your wolf’s decided the pack is complete, and your heat is ending. Sometimes when the female shifter hasn’t conceived yet, the heat peaks before it burns out. Do you understand?”
She gave a shuddering sigh as Eli lifted her slightly and then lowered her again onto his cock. With her legs spread wide and hanging over his arms, h
e was in complete control.
“You’re going to try to put a baby in me,” she said to Case. As if they hadn’t been trying to do that all week.
His laughter gusted across her cheek and spilled down her neck. “Not try, honey. We won’t stop until your wolf says we can.”
She shuddered again. “Please, Case. I want you inside me. I can handle you both.”
He dropped a kiss to her neck and shook his head. “I’ll wait my turn like everyone else. This time it’s all about that sweet pussy of yours. That’s where we all want to be, buried balls deep and pumping our seed into your womb.”
She thought that if she demanded he fuck her ass, then Case would do it. But that wasn’t really what her wolf wanted either. Her wolf wanted his seed, his child, and there was only one way to make that happen.
She whimpered, and he licked her ear. “That doesn’t mean I can’t help things along.”
She didn’t know what he meant until Eli lifted her again, pulling her legs wider and Case’s thumb slipped through the valley of her ass. He gathered the moisture dripping from her to coat the tight pucker of her anus. She shivered, instinctively trying to pull away, but there was nowhere for her to go, pressed as she was between the two men.
“You’re dripping on Eli’s cock,” Case murmured against her neck, flicking his tongue out to lick the skin about her pulse. “I can’t wait for my turn.”
His thumb circled the ring of muscle and then pressed inside. “You like this Maggie’s, don’t you? I haven’t had the chance to fuck you here yet. I almost pushed Carson off you last night just so I could have a turn.”
She wrapped her arms tighter around Eli’s neck. She felt like she was falling, though there was no chance of that. There was a sweet, sliding sensation in her belly. The first gentle pulse of her impending orgasm.
“Why didn’t you?” Her lips pressed to the base of Eli’s throat. She tasted his sweat when she spoke.
“I knew I’d have my turn,” Case said. “And you’re new to this. I didn’t want to hurt you, and I didn’t think I could hold back.”
“I don’t like when you hold back,” she said, breathless.
He pressed his teeth into her shoulder and lightly nipped at her skin. “I don’t like when you hold back either. Come for me. I want to feel your body lock around my fingers. Show me how good it will feel around my cock.”
He slid a second finger into her ass and she gasped. Her orgasm rolled over her. Her nails dug into Eli’s neck and her body clamped around his cock, trying to hold him deep. She closed her eyes, riding the crest, letting it take her.
Eli swore softly as he continued to slide her up and down his cock. His movements were smooth and steady, but she could feel the tremble in his arms. His cock swelled and then his hands splayed on her ass, pushing her body down, sealing her around his cock as he came, and came. She could feel the twitch and pulse of his cock moving in her as he filled her with his seed.
She kissed his throat and his chin. He dipped his head to take her mouth, his tongue meeting hers with a gentle caress. When he lifted his head, his eyes were glowing, soft and satisfied. His arms loosened around her and she felt a moment of panic as she started to slide.
Strong hands caught her. Case and Carson laid her on the bed. Her skin was slicked with sweat and she was still breathing heavily. Her nerves felt ultrasensitive. She could feel everything. The softness of the sheets at her back. The air drifting across her skin. Her orgasm still tingled through her body. And the hunger…the hunger was still there, too, growing.
She reached for Case, but he pushed Carson toward her. And that was fine. She’d take Carson first. She wanted them all.
Carson didn’t waste any time. He knelt between her legs. Lifting her hips onto his thighs and fitting the head of his cock to her entrance, he pushed into her without even asking if she was ready to take him. Her back arched and Carson groaned as he grabbed her hips and pulled her fully onto his cock. He wasn’t quite as thick as Eli but he was longer. When he thrust forward, he bumped against her cervix and she cried out at the shock.
Carson murmured an apology, and his next thrust was more shallow. He fell into a tight demanding rhythm that left her breathless.
“Suck on her tits, Jack,” Carson growled. “I want to see your mouth on her.”
Jack climbed onto the bed and obliged. He cupped her breast in his hand and sucked her nipple between his lips. Case stretched out on her other side. He watched her face. Still holding back, making sure she was okay.
She was more than okay.
Jack tugged at her breast while Carson drove into her. Case’s hand slid down her abdomen, and his fingers gently circled the hood of her clit. She moved her hand to stop him.
“It’s too soon.”
Case caught her hands and stretched them over her head.
“Declan,” he said. “Hold her.”
Declan’s big hands closed on her wrists, pinning them to the mattress. Case rolled so his front was pressed to her flank. He pressed two fingers into her mouth and then slid them down her body, between her breasts, over her belly, all the way to her clit. He resumed the soft, circular caress she’d interrupted.
“It’s not too soon,” he said, his voice edged with a growl. “One orgasm for each of us. You can do it.”
“Case…”
“Come on, honey,” he murmured, dipping his head to kiss her cheek. “One for each of us. I’ll get you there. You just have to take it. Can you do that for me?”
It wasn’t fair! Case had never asked her for anything. How could she deny the only request he’d ever made of her?
She met his gaze, felt it burn into her. “I’ll try.”
The corner of his mouth curled in an approving smile. “Good girl.”
She closed her eyes and stopped trying to fight for control. She felt something shift deep within her—her wolf accepting her place in the pack. She wasn’t an outsider anymore and she didn’t need to fight for control. Case wouldn’t let anything happen that she didn’t want. These men—her mates—would always take care of her.
“That’s it,” Case murmured when he felt her relax. “Trust us to get you there.”
He rolled her clit between his fingers and her entire body tightened in response. It shocked her how easily Case was able to coax her body to the sharp edge of orgasm. She never came so quickly or easily from her own hand. Maybe it was the flood of sensation, the combination of everyone touching her that did it. Case’s fingers on her clit. Jack sucking at her breast. The hard clasp of Declan’s hands on her wrists. And Carson pounding into her.
Carson was starting to lose control. His thrusts had become deeper and more forceful. They edged into pain but never quite crossed the line.
Just take it, Case asked of her. Accept what they were ready to so generously give.
She did, opening herself up wide. Her muscles gripped Carson’s cock and he lost it, grunting as his cock pulsed and his seed shot into her pussy. His fingers dug into her hips as he withdrew slightly and slammed into her again before collapsing forward.
Declan released her wrists and she wrapped her arms around Carson, holding him as their hearts slowed. He breathed a laugh and lifted his head. When she opened her eyes, his smile was so tender it brought tears to her eyes. He kissed her softly. “You’re perfect,” he said as he withdrew. “Thank you.”
She shivered as he reluctantly pulled away, leaving her. Empty again. Hungry.
Alone.
She rolled toward Jack who was stretched out beside her on the bed. His hand lifted as he brushed the hair from her face. “Do you need a minute?”
She kissed him, and his hand trailed down her arm, touched her hip and then wrapped around her thigh. She felt him smile against her lips. “I’ll take that as a no,” he said, and slid easily into her.
She was so wet, so ready, her flesh swollen and sensitive. She groaned with sweet relief as he sank into her body. He repositioned himself, nudging his hips forw
ard and sliding a knee between her spread legs. She hummed against his throat as he gently withdrew and began to lazily fuck her as if they had all the time in the world.
And they did. Case wouldn’t rush them for his own sake. He was too generous and selfless for that, even if she sometimes wished he demanded more. And Jack…Jack wouldn’t rush because he recognized that this was exactly what she wanted.
He placed his mouth to her ear. “Remember what I told you?”
She shook her head. He paused with just the tip of his cock inside her. She held her breath until he slid into her in a long, slow glide. She felt the way her body parted for him, felt every last inch of his heavy cock until it was planted so deep it pressed against her womb. She exhaled on a sigh and he kissed the sensitive skin below her ear.
“I want it to be me,” Jack whispered. “My child.”
He ground against her, the flat of his abdomen pressing deliciously tight to her clit. She moaned, and Jack licked her neck.
She kissed him and he welcomed her, opening his mouth and stroking her tongue. He rolled slightly, turning her under him, and his thrusts became deeper, though he didn’t increase the pace. He made love to her, drawing out the moment with light touches and soft kisses. He smiled every time she sighed and when, finally, she felt the warm rush of orgasm tighten her body, it surprised her so much she cried out at the strength of it.
Jack swallowed her cries, continuing to rock into her until her body began to ease. Only then did he find his own release, holding himself deep as he poured himself into her. She held him as his body shuddered, kissed his throat and his chin. He held her until his cock began to soften. Then he kissed her one last time and released her into Case’s arms.
Case turned her gently. He skimmed his hands over her sensitized skin with light strokes, easing her down, getting her used to his touch. She could feel the need trembling beneath his skin. She could scent the sharp tang of his arousal, but he waited until she was pressing into his touch before moving over her.
“Maggie,” he said softly. “Open your eyes.”
