Tammy felt like she was only holding on by a thread and knew the next pump of his hips would send her hurtling into space. She lifted her weighted eyelids, gasping and twitching as he held still inside her, and she saw that his eyes were a glowing golden color. Crag shifted over her, covering her body completely with his, but he kept most of his weight off of her. He pushed a hand beneath her ass and gripped one of her cheeks, and his other hand wrapped lightly around her throat from the front. With a nudge of his long fingertips on her jaw, he tilted her head to the side.
Crag pulled his cock back inch by slow, excruciating, pleasurable inch, and as he slammed forward one more time, his teeth sank into the flesh at the crook of her neck and shoulder.
Tammy screamed as euphoria held her in its grip and swept her up out of her body toward the stars. Her pussy clamped down hard on Crag’s cock and then released again. Her whole body felt like it was having an orgasm, and even though she was panting, she couldn’t get enough air into her lungs. A kaleidoscope of colors flashed before her eyes as her cunt continued to contract and let go. Tendrils of what felt like string curled around her heart, body, mind, and soul and then shot out toward Crag, latching onto him and linking them together.
When she slammed back into herself, she was so satiated she didn’t think she would ever be able to move again. And the connection she felt with the big man licking the bite mark on her shoulder was so intense it was surreal.
Tammy felt her soul floating along those tendrils and into Crag. They wrapped around his heart and mind, and she sensed the love he had told her he felt for her. Never in a million years would she have been able to describe or imagine such a connection with another being. She had already been in love with him and Carter, but now the feeling was so much stronger and it felt almost too intense to contain.
Crag’s whole body was wrapped around her, from the inside out, and she was a little afraid of the strength of feeling both their emotions.
“Easy, darlin’.” Crag lifted his mouth from her shoulder and cupped her face between his hands. “Don’t be scared of what we feel for each other. Embrace the wonder of it, mate.”
“It’s so…”
“Yes, it is. Just think. When you’re feeling sad or alone, all you have to do is follow that link and I’ll be there with you. I’ll never leave you, darlin’.” Crag brushed his lips over hers, and tears formed in her eyes. She could feel how much she meant to him, how much he loved her and his determination to protect her.
“It’s a special bond, isn’t it, baby?” Carter leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, and then he kissed Crag’s cheek.
“Yeah,” Tammy sighed and then groaned when Crag slowly eased his softening cock from her pussy and rolled to his side, taking her with him.
Carter moved in close to her back, and she reached out to touch him. Now that she was mated with Crag, she wanted that bond with Carter, too.
“Do you want a bath, baby?”
“Yes, please, Carter, but I don’t think I have the energy to move.”
“You let me worry about that, Tammy.” Carter kissed the top of her head and then rolled off the bed before heading to the bathroom.
Tammy closed her eyes and savored the closeness of being in Crag’s arms. She loved the way he smelled and couldn’t help drawing air in through her nose to keep his scent there.
“Why do you smell so good?”
Carter pulled her tighter into him. “It’s part of being a werewolf’s mate. Mates are drawn to each other, and it’s almost impossible to ignore that instant connection. The connection just keeps getting stronger and stronger and, once mated, is impossible to break.”
Carter came back into the bedroom, and when he placed a knee on the bed behind her, she turned and looked at him over her shoulder. The heat and hunger in his eyes had her just-sated libido firing up, and from the way his nostrils flared, he could smell her arousal.
“Are you ready for your bath, baby?”
“Yes.” Tammy kissed Crag’s chest and then rolled over toward Carter. She didn’t get to move any further because he scooped her up into his arms and carried her into the bathroom. Just as he sank down into the water with her on his lap, Crag entered and got in the bath, too.
When she took the sponge from the side of the tub, Carter took it from her hand.
“Let us take care of you, Tammy. It’s our job and privilege as your mates to look after you.”
Love for both her men surged into her heart, and she heard Crag gasp. When she looked at him, she saw what she felt reciprocated in his eyes. Carter was looking at her just as intensely, but she couldn’t feel what he felt. Now that she was mated to Crag, she wanted that connection with Carter more than ever.
Hunger and desire fired every synapse in her body until she was feeling almost desperate. A low growl rumbled in Crag’s chest, and when he spoke, his voice was a lot deeper than normal.
“Hurry and wash our mate. She needs you.”
Carter washed her quickly and he passed her off to Crag. He stood up in the bath, washed himself thoroughly, sat down to rinse off. By the time he was done, Tammy was panting once more. He stepped out of the bath and dried off hurriedly. When done he grabbed a clean towel and held it out. Crag passed her over to Carter. He dried her off, lifted her into his arms, and then carried her back to the bedroom.
* * * *
Carter was so hungry for Tammy his legs were shaking and he could barely walk. He’d never felt so weak with desire and yet so empowered. Even though he had craved the mating with Crag, it hadn’t been quite as intense as this. He placed Tammy on the bed and followed her down, covering her with his body. His wolf was pushing at him constantly to claim her, and he was having trouble controlling his animal.
“Crag, I need you in here with me. Me and my wolf are too needy, and I don’t want to hurt her.”
Crag came into the room moments later and climbed on the bed beside them. Carter stared deeply into Tammy’s eyes and felt like he was drowning in her beautiful orbs. She was obviously impatient for the mating, too, because she reached up, threaded her fingers in his hair, and pulled his mouth down to hers.
She kissed him with an openmouthed voraciousness. Her tongue slid along his, and he groaned deep in his chest as her sweetness exploded on his taste buds. Carter shifted, placing more weight on one elbow, and then cupped her breast with his free hand.
Tammy whimpered and arched into his touch, silently begging him for more, but what he craved most was the taste of her juices. He kissed his way over her shoulder and then down her chest. He spent a little time sucking on her nipples, alternating from one hard peak to the other until she was writhing beneath him.
“Please?” Tammy begged.
Carter was too intent on pleasuring her to answer. He licked, nibbled, and kissed his way down her body and used his shoulders to nudge her legs wider.
“Please what, darlin’?” Crag asked.
Carter stared down at her cream-coated folds, and saliva pooled in his mouth. He leaned closer to her pussy, closed his eyes, and inhaled deeply.
“I need…”
Carter opened his eyes and stared up the length of her body. Crag placed a soft kiss on her lips and then said, “Carter knows what you need, Tammy. Just relax and enjoy, darlin’.”
Carter wrapped his arms around Tammy’s legs and spread her wide. As he lowered his head to her pussy, Crag lowered his head to her breast.
He swiped his tongue over her flesh from ass to clit, and when she gasped and moaned, he gripped her hips firmly and began to flick his tongue over her sensitive little pearl.
Tammy cried out and tried to buck, but he needed to be in control. He was worried that if he didn’t keep a tight rein on his hunger that his animal would take over and he would end up hurting her.
Carter shifted one of his arms around her thigh until he could reach her cunt and rimmed her hole with a finger. He continued lapping at her clit, then he slowly pushed his finger inside her. She
clenched around his finger and bathed the tip in her cream. As much as he wanted to continue drinking down her juices, he couldn’t hold off anymore. He removed his finger from her cunt and then shoved his tongue into her pussy as deep as he could, collecting and tasting her essence before swallowing it down.
He kissed the inside of her thigh and then rose to his knees. Crag moved back so that Carter could see her face.
“Tell me if I hurt you, baby. My wolf is so close to the surface right now.”
Tammy reached out and stroked his cheek. “Your eyes are glowing. I know you won’t hurt me, Carter.”
Carter shuddered and took a deep breath. Her trust in him gave him the strength he needed to push his wolf back a bit more. “Are you ready for me, baby?”
“Yes. Hurry!”
Carter lined his cock up with Tammy’s pussy and slowly began to push inside her. He was a little worried that she may be sore after having Crag’s meaty cock fucking her pussy, so he kept his eyes on her face as he slowly began to push inside.
“Fuck!” Carter held still when the crown of his cock popped through her tight, wet tissues. “So damn good.”
“She feels like home, doesn’t she, mate?”
“Fuck yes!”
Carter pressed in a little further, eased back, and then he slid in more. He took his time, rocking his hips back and forth gaining inch after inch, until he was finally all the way inside her.
“More!” Tammy demanded and tried to arch her hips up into his.
He held her hips tighter but made sure not to hurt her, and then he started moving. In and out he stroked, gaining speed with each forward thrust. Her moans and whimpers were like music to his ears.
“Oh God. So good,” Tammy groaned.
“Heaven,” Carter growled.
“Faster, harder,” she panted.
Carter picked up the pace until their bodies were slapping together. When he felt warm tingles at the base of his spine, he knew he wouldn’t last much longer. Crag was kissing her, but Carter needed to be closer to his mate.
“Move, Crag!”
Crag broke the kiss, and as soon as he moved aside, Carter covered her body completely with his. He kept his weight on his knees and elbows, but he pushed an arm beneath her shoulders and the other beneath her ass. He pushed her groin in closer to his and nuzzled her head aside with his nose. He licked over her flesh where shoulder and neck met, on the opposite side to where Crag had marked her, and then he began slamming his cock in and out of her rippling cunt.
Tammy was sobbing with pleasure with each breath she took, and Carter could feel her internal muscles fluttering around his shuttling cock. And then he was right on the edge of the most massive orgasm he’d ever experienced. His whole body was shaking with hungry desire, and he let his wolf out until his canines elongated and his animal was just beneath the surface.
Carter licked her skin once, twice, and then he struck. His teeth sank into her and her sweet blood coated his tongue. His growl was muffled against her neck, but he heard her rapturous scream loud and clear. Her pussy clamped down on his cock only to release a second later and clench down on him again. She bathed his cock with her cum. He howled as the heat at the base of his spine spread to encompass his cock and balls. His testes drew up close to his body, and then he was shooting spume after spume of cum deep into her body.
Carter felt the connection immediately. Tendrils of her soul wrapped around his heart, and his wrapped around hers. She was his. His and Crag’s to love, cherish, and protect. His heart was so full of love and joy, tears pricked his eyes, and even though he tried to contain them, he couldn’t and they spilled down over his cheeks. He licked his mating mark, bathing the wound with his saliva, and then nuzzled his nose into her neck.
Her hands were caressing him, and he felt like for the second time in his life he truly belonged.
Chapter Twelve
Tammy had been mated to Carter and Crag for just over two weeks and had never been so in love. They treated her like a princess, and she loved every minute of their caring natures. She was slowly learning everyone’s names, and the more time she spent with the pack, the more she liked them. The women were all very close and helped each other out, looking after their kids.
She had expected the Alphas and their mate, Michelle, to be conceited and egotistical, but that was far from the truth. Everyone in the pack was down to earth and friendly. Although she suspected that the Alphas could rule with an iron fist if necessary.
Just last night she’d learned that Jonah was the most Alpha out of him, Mikhail, and Brock, and that he could control the whole pack with his voice if it was warranted. Tammy hoped that she wouldn’t ever be on the receiving end of what the pack called Pack Law.
She’d been helping Crag and Carter arrange their landscaping business and had even helped them set up a website. She loved working and living with them and couldn’t imagine not having them by her side.
Crag was more controlling and dominant than Carter, and she could see him and her going toe to toe often, because he liked to lay down the law. He’d proven that just last night.
She’d been snuggled up on the sofa between them, and even though she had been struggling to keep her eyes open, she had been too comfortable to move. Crag and Carter had been discussing their new business, but all of a sudden Crag had broken the conversation and tipped her chin up so he could see her face.
“You need to be in bed, darlin’. You’re exhausted.”
“Not yet,” Tammy had replied.
His mouth had tightened, and then without saying another word, he had scooped her up off the couch, carried her to the master bedroom, stripped her clothes off, and put her to bed.
“I don’t want—”
“Don’t argue with me, Tammy. I can feel how tired you are.” Crag had kissed her on the forehead and then walked out without a backward glance.
Carter had come in just after Crag left and given her a gentle smile. “He loves you just like I do, baby. We’re only looking out for you.”
“I know, but he can be so…controlling.”
“Get used to it, Tammy. We’re werewolves and it’s our job to take care of you.”
“I can take care of myself. I didn’t want to leave you. I was too comfortable.”
“You’ve been working too hard, baby. You’ve been through a lot in the last couple of weeks.”
“That may be, but I feel healthier and stronger than I’ve ever been. I don’t need to be coddled, Carter.”
“We aren’t coddling you, baby. We’re just taking care of your needs. We love you and want to make sure you take care of yourself.”
“Okay.” Tammy had relented because she could see them going round and round in circles, and if she were honest with herself, she liked the way they looked after her.
“Get some sleep, Tammy. Tomorrow is going to be a big day. We’ve been booked out weeks ahead. Who would have thought that such a simple business would do so well before we’ve even started?”
Carter had kissed her softly on the lips, stroked a finger down her cheek, and then left the room. A few moments later her body had relaxed into sleep.
Tammy spent most of her time working in the office, taking calls, and scheduling jobs. She would have liked it if she could be out working with her men. She missed them when they weren’t around and knew it was the connection of their mating. She had suggested that they hire someone to take over the office work, but her mates didn’t want her doing any strenuous work. Tammy was still trying to talk them into letting her help them do the landscaping and hoped that eventually they would let her, but she figured since their mating was so new and they were only looking out for her welfare that she would have to accept their dictates, at least for now.
She was still amazed that she could talk to her mates through their private mating link and feel their emotions. Crag and Carter checked in with her often, and she jumped every time she heard them talking to her in her head. It was a skill th
at was going to take time for her to get used to.
The bell over the office door dinged, and she looked up to see a man walking toward her. He looked familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she’d seen him before. Tammy didn’t think he was part of the pack, but there were still some pack members she hadn’t spent much time with.
She rose to her feet to greet him. “Hi, I’m Tammy. Welcome to Friess Landscaping. How can I help you?”
“I want someone to come and give me a quote on how much it will be to transform my yard.”
“Oh, well, Mr…”
“Tate, Bob Tate.” He held his hand out to her, and it took everything in her to not cringe when his hand enveloped hers. Shivers of apprehension raced up and down her spine, but she had no idea why.
“Mr. Tate. I would like to say that I could send someone out to assess your yard, but we’re booked up for weeks.”
“Can’t you do it?”
Tammy could, because she had gone out with her men quite a few times before the office had been ready to open and had learned quickly how her men evaluated and charted for the work, but she didn’t want to leave the office unattended.
“I can’t leave…”
“You have an answering machine, don’t you?” Bob Tate asked. “Look, I don’t mean to be too pushy, but I’m running low on time. My father recently died, but when he was alive he wasn’t able to keep up his yard. He’s left behind a slew of hospital bills, and the only way I’m going to be able to cover them is if I sell the house. I’ve got just enough money set aside for the yard to be cleaned up and then it’s going on the market. Those bills just keep on coming in, and I don’t have any other option.”
Tammy felt sorry for him. He looked so sad and sincere, and she could even see the tears in his eyes as he explained to her why he was in such a hurry. She couldn’t see why it would hurt to switch the phone over to the answering machine and lock up the office for an hour. The man was really hurting, and she understood how much it hurt to lose someone you loved.
“Okay,” Tammy said. “Just let me turn off my computer, switch the answering machine on, and I’ll be with you. Where is the house?”
