What if her unborn baby was able to make her powers surge like that? What if her unborn baby had powers of his or her own? She still didn’t understand her own talents, let alone how to manage them perfectly. Now, she might have to figure out how to do it, not only for herself, but for the baby growing in her womb.
Chapter Sixteen
When Tabitha woke, she was tangled within a mass of arms and legs. The familiar naked weight of the men she’d chased during the night had wrapped themselves around her. Their protective embrace warmed her, tickled her to her toes. She loved being this close to them. She loved touching them. She simply loved.
Love…
The word, once so foreign to her, now felt real, tangible, like it was truly something she could achieve and experience for herself without regret or fear. Letting go of her past would take time and a lot of work, but as she glanced down at the men in her arms she knew she had to try.
Fifteen years was a long time to live in the shadows of a horrible past—a past that wasn’t hers anymore. At least it didn’t have to be. That’s what Brie was trying to tell her. She could choose for herself what her future held. She knew she could be with Ryken and Luken if she really wanted, and she didn’t have to let fear dictate her actions. Instead, love could.
As she glanced down at the slumbering faces of the men she loved, yes, loved, she couldn’t help but smile. She had become the person she never imagined she would be, and it was because she let two strangers, two werewolves, infiltrate her heart. She hadn’t allowed herself to share a piece of her soul with anyone until them, and now she couldn’t wait to explore so many more things with them—whatever those emotional adventures might be.
Finally understanding the feelings swirling in the pit of her stomach, she shifted to sit up. Not caring that her body had been used as their plaything during the night because just as they had used hers, she had used theirs, and the power of their joining had been incredible, healing even. Ryken was right. Sex as a wolf had been primal and raw, but sex as a human with lycan powers would soon prove to be even more prodigious.
Her fingers glided down Ryken’s hip towards his cock, molding around his shaft. Smiling at the sound of his groan, she turned her gaze to Luken. His body was almost in the exact same position as Ryken’s just on the other side of her, and she did the same thing to him, gliding her fingers down his lean hip, around to his cock, gripping him and stroking the shaft slow. Luken’s eyes popped open, his gaze rising to meet hers. She held her breath, nibbling her bottom lip.
“What are you doing, mate?” Ryken’s voice growled from her side.
Grinning, she teased, “Oh, I don’t know. I thought I might play a little this morning.”
Rising up to his elbows, Luken asked, “What? No objection to being called our mate?”
“I was actually thinking that I might have been overreacting about the whole mate thing.”
Arching his brow, Ryken snickered. “Oh, really?”
Nodding, she teased with a giggle, “Yes, I might like being your mate, might enjoy our romp through the woods, and our romping in the woods.”
“So, you don’t mind being called mate because you like the way we fucked you last night?”
Shocked by Luken’s words, she gasped. “No, of course not!”
“Then why the sudden change of heart, mate?” Ryken sat up, his eyes deep and penetrating.
Huffing out a sigh, she stood, hands on her hips. “Oh, never mind.”
She turned and inspected the room she was in. It didn’t look like McCarthy Ranch. At least what she had seen of McCarthy Ranch.
“Where are we?”
“This is our home, a few miles from the McCarthy cabin.”
“Oh,” she said, sounding surprised. “So, you don’t live with them?”
“Hell no,” Ryken blurted out, sounding almost offended that she would think they lived with Sebastian and Jonah.
Luken moved up behind her, his hands rubbing up and down her arms. “Why are you willing to accept being our mate now, sweetheart? I want to know.”
She shrugged. “I don’t know. Maybe because I don’t think it would be as bad as I once thought it would.”
“But why? What’s changed?” Luken urged her to continue.
A long moment of silence passed before she admitted, “I have. I’ve changed, Luken. I’m different, and I feel great about it. I loved running through the woods, enjoyed beyond everything I’ve ever imagined. I also—”
She hesitated to answer, emotions choking her, eyes searching their faces.
“What, Tabitha? Don’t stop now.” Ryken’s voice was harsh and filled with need. Even if she hadn’t heard the desires filling his words, she sure could feel them in her heart.
“I also care about you, both of you, very much. I want to give us a chance. But I swear if you hurt me—”
Luken’s gentle kiss cut off her words. His kiss was a slow-burning simmer. The growing intensity had her feeling like she was floating on clouds. She opened for him, and his tongue tasted hers, the wild within their passions firing into their kiss. Her fingers dug into the taut flesh of his back and shoulders. She was practically clawing up his body as he made love to her mouth. Dipping down, he grabbed hold of her hip and raised her leg, wrapping her calf over his hip, lifting her against his body. Her legs molded around his waist as Luken carried her into his master suite. The giant bed was a playground for their exploring love.
Breathless, she was dizzy on the lust she felt pouring out of his heart and soul.
“Tabitha, I have to tell you something before we make love.” He tilted up her chin as if consumed by the need to look into the depths of her eyes before telling her what was on his mind.
“What is it, Luken?” she murmured softly against his face, her heart beating a little faster.
He licked his lips. “For the first time in my life, I’ve fallen in love.” He cupped her chin and jaw, his warm touch on her face. “Tabitha, I’ve fallen in love with you,” he told her, dropping down to take possession of her mouth once more.
Luken kissed her using his entire body. His hands worked over her flesh, massaging and caressing the lean length of her body. His strong fingers tingling down her spine, clasping the nape of her neck, he thrust his tongue deep, while he kept her face still in his uncompromising hands.
Gasping for air, she eased away to stare up at him. She saw wild excitement and scorching lust in his eyes, but also something else, bright and warming. And now that she’d heard his words move from his lips, she knew exactly what those things were. He loved her, and knowing that caused her heart to flutter uncontrollably in her chest. A feeling she’d never experienced until now.
Then, Luken lowered his lips to hers again and sampled her slowly, savoring her kiss, enjoying the fiery connection they shared.
“Mate,” he whispered against her lips.
“Mate,” she acknowledged without hesitation.
Luken’s mouth softened, and she felt him smile.
The warmth of Ryken’s body crowded in behind her. His hands cupped the globes of her naked rear. He pulled her hips back, his turgid erection sliding between the folds of her ass. Her head fell back against his shoulder as Luken trailed a gentle finger from the hollow of her neck to her breasts, then lower until his finger slid between the wet folds of her pussy, gliding over her swollen and throbbing clit.
Moaning, her fingers dug into Luken’s shoulder, her leg still resting on his hip.
“Oh, God that feels so good,” she groaned, rolling her head from side to side.
Luken assaulted her damp pussy, his finger plunging inside the depths of her cunt while the head of Ryken’s cock nuzzled against her anus. The lust-filled sensations burned deep in her body. Hunger, so much hunger, set her body on fire. She needed them now more than ever, couldn’t wait another second for them to make love to her—to share the desires and passions enflaming her body.
“Oh, God. Don’t stop,” she cried. “More, ple
ase more.”
For the first time in her life she was ready to let herself go, allow herself a chance to truly experience pleasures only those who were in love experienced. She wanted to experience that with Ryken and Luken—now.
“Make love to me, please,” she gasped. “I don’t want to wait. I want you both.” She reached a hand behind her, touching the firm, muscular legs of Ryken. Her other hand grasped the tight sinew of Luken’s chest and shoulder.
A moment later, Luken moved onto the bed, extending his hand for her to follow. She eased up his body, straddling his hips, his fierce erection probing her belly. Gripping her hips, he raised her and slowly eased her down his hard shaft.
Gasping from the tight intrusion, she closed her eyes and waited until she was seated all the way down onto the base of his cock. Ryken crawled up behind her, his cock probing at the entrance of her ass. She hissed the moment the pressure increased.
For one moment, she glanced over her shoulder, meeting Ryken’s determined face, his eyes ablaze with lust and desire, his huge cock pressing against her. She knew what was about to happen, but the nerves in her belly were still so wild and untamed. Then she inhaled deeply as the cool feel of lubricant coated her asshole.
“Are you ready, Tabitha? Ready to feel both me and Luken inside you, ready to know what it will be like to have us as a part of your life…forever?”
She couldn’t breathe, couldn’t think. “Yes,” she whimpered, as nervous passions fluttered in her mind.
She was ready, more than excited. Her pussy clenched and her clit throbbed. Luken’s fingers swirled around the sensitive bud, driving her beyond reason.
“Do it, Ryken. I’m ready, God, I’m ready,” she cried, pushing back towards him, coaxing his cock to drill inside her.
“Relax, baby. I don’t want to hurt you.”
“You won’t,” she pleaded. “I know you won’t.”
“Hold still for just a second,” Ryken told her, moving his cock into position.
She sucked in a sharp gulp of air as a slow burn eased up her spine at the wide intrusion sliding deep into her ass. Her pussy so tight and full, the sensation was incredible. Trembling with more fire and desires than she ever imagined she’d feel, she gasped. Her fingers dug into the taut muscles of Luken’s chest.
“Damn, you are so fucking tight, baby.” Ryken groaned like a wild animal behind her.
“Hurry the hell up, Ryken. I don’t know how long I can hold out.” Luken’s face was strained, his gaze never veering away from hers.
“You better hold out,” Tabitha scolded. “I want this to be good, or I’m not going to be very happy with either one of you.”
Chuckling, Luken told his brother, “You heard the lady, bro. Let’s get to making this good for her.”
Ryken groaned as he began fucking her. Luken pushed deep inside as Ryken pulled almost out, reciprocating their action. Riding her body, pleasures spiking with each thrust, Luken’s fingers continued to swirl around her clit. Their savage assault on her pussy forced her eyes to roll back in her head, and her nipples to harden further and ache.
“Oh, God,” she cried.
Blinded by the first climax, she clawed the sheets beside her. Leaning forward, Luken took possession of her nipple, suckling the tender bud into his mouth. She arched her back, and the position drove them both deeper inside her body.
“Damn, baby. You do that again and I’m going to come.”
“Well, we don’t want that do we?” Moaning, she arched again.
The feelings of their cocks filling her body pushed open the sensual gate once more. Her pussy pulsed around Luken’s cock, preparing to scream with release. The tension built and built, the coil tightening, they were making her melt. She was ready to come.
They fucked her harder and faster, and she burned with desires she had no idea existed inside her. Her pussy quivered, and like an earthquake, the continued wave of orgasms rocked her body. Her slick cunt squeezed around Luken’s cock, milking him as he found his own release. Ryken’s body collapsed on hers. The deep, thundering growl of his wolf roared into her ears as his semen filled her ass.
The cries and growls of satisfaction saturated the room. The scent of passionate sex drifted on the air, announcing their mating heat. Falling onto the bed, they cuddled and wrapped themselves around each other, covering up with a crisp, thin sheet. Everything was perfect, except for one thing. She hadn’t confessed what was truly in her heart.
“Guys, I’ve gone and done something really stupid,” she told them, scrunching her nose at them both.
Luken cocked his head to the side, staring at her with an alarming level of intensity, making her nipples harden almost painfully.
Ryken narrowed his eyes. The deep, penetrating glare would have startled her a little before, but not anymore. She understood those eyes now. Those remarkable blue eyes she couldn’t help but gaze into with deep longing and fiery lust.
Nibbling on her bottom lip, she confessed, “I’m well aware that this might come as a huge surprise to you, but I’ve gone and let myself fall in love with you.” As she lay between them her gaze shifted from Ryken to Luken. “Now, there’s no way in hell I’ll be able to live without you.”
Smiling, Luken asked, “And what does that mean exactly?”
Grinning wide, she explained, “It means I won’t be returning to Seattle anytime soon, except perhaps to pack up my clothes and move here to McCarthy Ranch, where you’ll be stuck with me.”
Stiffening, Ryken sat up and turned his back to her. His feet dangled off the edge of the bed. “I’m sorry, Tabitha, but that’s not nearly enough.”
He stood, the round globes of his ass flexing as he walked, the muscles rippling as he twisted to stare at her. She could see the hard strain in his gaze as he looked at her. Her eyesight was perfect even in the cover of darkness.
The sheet she had covering her breast dropped to her lap as she quickly sat up, stunned by what Ryken was telling her. She gasped. “What do you mean it’s not enough?”
“Tabitha, if there is any inclination in that brain of yours that says there’s a chance you could leave me—” Glancing to his brother, he corrected, “Us. Then, that’s not going to work at all.”
Luken tossed the blanket off his legs, rising to stand beside the bed, gazing down at her. He said, “It’s not enough for me, either, sweetheart. If you are not interested in forever with us, then your offer is just a tease, and we are not interested in being teased by the woman we love.”
She swallowed hard, her eyes so large she knew the whites of her eyes shone as bright as the full moon she had chased the night before. She pushed to her knees, crawling to the foot of the bed to be closer to them. Her chest rose and fell with panic. This was not what she had hoped her delivery of emotions would be like. She thought they would welcome it with open arms, but they didn’t. Ryken and Luken were rejecting her offer, and there was only one thing a strong, stubborn woman could do at this point—she could say exactly what was in her heart, and she could do it with strong conviction.
“Damn it, you two don’t make anything easy, do you? If I told you that I wanted forever with you, wouldn’t that steal all the mysterious romance out of our little love triangle? I mean, really, does a girl have to pour out every little detail in her heart before you get that you already have me forever? You must know that there will never be another man for me other than the both of you.” She slid off the bed, frustration thick in her voice as she said, “I almost died, and the only thing that crossed my mind was the fear of losing you. No, Ryken and Luken, it’s not enough. You’re so right. Loving me forever will be a challenge, a great big challenge, and damn it, if you even think of quitting me, I’ll rip your Goddamn nuts off your body, grab hold of your peckers, and jump from the nearest balcony—so don’t tell me it’s not enough. You’re damn right it’s not.” She stepped between the two men, staring up at them. “I want it all, I want the love, the sex, the future, everything you can give me
for a perfect life. That’s what I want, but I didn’t realize until now that I had the courage to share.”
Holding her in his gaze, Ryken asked, “Are you serious? You’re not just saying this cause you know it’s what we want to hear?”
Smiling, she said, “Ryken, I’ve never been so sure in my life about anything.”
“Excellent,” Luken roared, lifting her into his arms and carrying her back to the bed.
She squealed as he tossed her soft body onto the bed.
“I don’t know, Luken. I’m still not at all convinced that she’s telling me the truth.”
Rising to rest on her elbows, her round breasts pressing towards the ceiling, she told him simply, “Then, why don’t you come over here and let me prove it to you. I’ll even let you do very wicked things to me.”
Eyebrow raised, Ryken snickered, “Anything?”
“Anything,” she moaned, lifting her arms in the air, beckoning them to join her.
Ryken and Luken sprung onto the bed, cradling Tabitha into their arms. She loved these men, felt complete for the first time in her life like she didn’t have to work to impress them or fear losing their love because she was an inconvenience.
Who would have thought that she’d owe all these incredible changes in her life to a wolf bite and a serial killer? Certainly not her, but she had no regrets, and she wouldn’t consider changing a thing. Ever.
