Jade [Eminence Shifters 6] (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour)

by Ashley Malkin

  He brushed his thumb over the spot he’d been sucking. “This mark will be permanent. All shifters will know you’re taken.” She squirmed beneath him. The caress of his thumb was making her tingle all over. “And it will always be sensitive to my touch. Only mine.”

  “Is it a love bite?”

  Barrett’s eyes blazed a bright golden color, but it was a cold light. She knew he was feeling angry. “We were going to explain about the mating mark, but Troy sort of put everything on fast-forward.”

  Jade heard Barrett speaking, but her mind was drifting. The feel of Wes’s hand on her hair was wonderful. His lips brushing over her skin fired sparks of electricity through her body.

  “Wes.”

  She called his name and was somehow in his arms a second later. She was straddling his hips as he sat on the bed. His arms held her pressed to his rock-hard chest. Each breath he took made her nipples harder as they rubbed sensuously against his cool skin.

  “I need you, Wes. I think I’ll die if I can’t have you inside me.” She reached down and stroked the hard length of his cock where it pressed against her mound. His moan of pleasure made her feel bold, so she rubbed the sticky fluid at the tip of his cock over the silky head before bringing her hand to her mouth to taste his essence on her fingers.

  “Fuck,” Troy said. “Our mate is the sexiest woman ever born.”

  “Yes, she is,” Asher said, his voice so rough she had to glance up to check it was him.

  “I’m not,” Jade said, licking the sweet, tangy liquid from her fingers. “It’s all of you doing this to me.”

  She knew it was their love allowing her to shed her inhibitions. She hadn’t uttered a single word the three times she’d had sex with her first boyfriend. She hadn’t had a chance.

  Wes lowered himself back to the bed, pulling her on top of him, his hands gripping her ass as his fingers stroked down the crease.

  “Troy and I have never made love to a woman alone. It’s not been possible for us the way we’re linked.”

  “No fucking way,” Barrett said incredulously.

  “We can discuss it another time,” Troy said, pressing against her back and kissing a line down her spine.

  “May we claim you together, Jade?” Wes asked.

  She could only gasp as his mouth found one of her nipples and sucked it into his mouth. She’d read romance books. She knew what they were talking about. She’d just never imagined she’d ever desire it.

  “Yes,” she said, her own voice as unrecognizable as Asher’s had been. “I want you both inside me.” She felt her core clench in anticipation. She more than wanted them both inside her. She craved it.

  “No fucking way,” Barrett repeated, anger in his voice this time. “My mating bite won’t have healed her enough yet.”

  She did feel better. Breathing was easier. Her damaged ribs no longer stabbed at her. She looked down at Wes and he released her nipple and smiled.

  “Thank you for your trust, Jade. We’ll make you feel so good.”

  Her pussy clenched with need. “I need you,” she said, lowering herself to the temptation of his soft lips.

  Wes clasped her ass as he kissed her deeply. Troy’s hands found her breasts, his cock sliding into her pussy from behind. She was completely surrounded by them as they prepared to make love to her and she felt nothing but a burning desire. She wanted them closer. She needed them closer. Deeper. She needed more.

  She broke her kiss with Wes the second she realized what it was she needed.

  “Asher.”

  “Whatever you need, Jade. I’m here.”

  He knelt at her side and she reached for his straining cock, the fluid on the end making her mouth water.

  “I don’t know what’s wrong with me.”

  “Not a damned thing,” Barrett said, his hand a warm weight on her shoulder as she licked the sweet pre-cum from Asher’s cock.

  She’d assumed the restless feeling that had driven her to travel the country was a desire to paint the perfect landscape, to capture something special on canvas. She’d been wrong. That feeling was gone. These men were what she’d unknowingly been searching for. She was home.

  Chapter 11

  Wes nearly ruined his mating and came all over Jade’s stomach as she licked Asher’s cock before slowly taking the head into her mouth. His cock twitched and he couldn’t stop imagining how her lips would feel on him.

  “She feels incredible,” Troy said. “We need to hurry.”

  “Are you close to coming, too?”

  “No, lightweight. Jade needs to complete the mating with Asher soon, or she’ll be in terrible pain.”

  Wes closed his eyes and tried to remember they had hundreds of years to enjoy being mated to the beautiful, sexy Jade Liang. Jade Pollock, soon.

  “We have to ask her tonight,” Troy said. “We can fly to Vegas and marry her tonight. We can buy her a dress, whatever one she likes. They’ll have dresses there in Vegas, right? Wedding dresses?”

  Wes leveled a stare at Troy over Jade’s shoulder as his brother’s mind flew out of control. Troy was far more intelligent than him, and Wes tested as a genius. They didn’t have a scale to accurately measure Troy’s intellect, but he needed Wes to keep him focused. They really were two halves of a whole.

  “Barrett, we need the lube,” Wes said. “Troy. Mating first.”

  Troy nodded and kissed along Jade’s neck until he found a spot that made her inhale sharply. “Here,” Troy said.

  Wes lifted his head to lick and then suck Jade’s perfect nipple. His hands were still holding her ass as Troy slowly thrust into her pussy. Barrett tapped his hand and Wes continued to torture Jade’s breast, her moans of pleasure driving him crazy, while Barrett spread the cool gel on Wes’s fingers.

  Jade flinched as Wes then rubbed the gel over her tight anus, the muscle contracting under his fingers.

  “Just relax, Jade,” Troy said. “Let Wes stretch you so I won’t hurt you when we make love to you together.”

  Wes moved to her other breast, gently biting the base of her nipple, then circling the sensitized bud with his tongue. He had two fingers inside Jade’s ass when her muscles relaxed fully and she began to thrust back onto his fingers.

  “My cock will feel even better, Jade,” Troy said.

  Wes told Troy she was ready and returned his hand to her ass, holding Jade open for Troy. Troy pulled from Jade’s pussy and Wes tilted his pelvis, entering Jade in one smooth stroke, never missing a beat in the rhythm Troy had initiated.

  Wes released Jade’s breast with a moan, Jade’s pussy clamping down, her wet heat overwhelming his senses. His orgasm nearly overtook him. His every cell was perched on the edge of impending ecstasy.

  “I told you she felt fantastic,” Troy said.

  Wes opened his eyes and locked gazes with Jade. Her mouth was open as she softly panted. As Troy filled Jade’s ass she got tighter, and wetter. Her pupils dilated and her mouth curved in a satisfied smile.

  “So full,” Jade said, her pussy fluttering around his cock and caressing him toward insanity.

  “Jade, you feel incredible,” Wes said, trying to convey how he felt. “Nothing compares to being inside you. We are never leaving this bedroom.”

  Asher chuckled, holding Jade’s hair away from her face as she rocked between him and Troy.

  Jade started to move faster, her orgasm close. She was right there with them in their growing pleasure, and the thickening scent of her arousal was an aphrodisiac. He and Troy were linked, their orgasms would be simultaneous. But they would see Jade reach her pleasure first.

  Wes held back for one beat and then filled Jade at the same instant as Troy, plunging deeper to tap her cervix and tilting his pelvis to massage her clit. After just three thrusts Jade came, her pussy tightening so much he was unable to move. The rhythmic contractions of her core were enough to send him over the edge.

  He came hard, his cum filling Jade as he pulled her close and let his canines descend. His
cat marked their mate as they all found their release. Jade moaned as her orgasm peaked again in response to his bite.

  The taste of her blood as it coated his tongue pulled more seed from his balls in a delicious agony as they pulled up tight to his body. He pulled his teeth free and licked over his mark, healing it enough for Troy to mark her as well.

  Wes released Jade’s ass at last and pulled her close, his lips seeking hers. As their lips met, they both moaned, their tongues dueling in a passionate tangle as Troy marked Jade as his mate. Wes’s balls contracted again as Jade’s blood made Troy orgasm.

  Jade pulled her lips free to call Troy’s name, her pussy again a vise around his cock. He held Jade close as she rode out her pleasure before relaxing on top of him. Their skin was slicked with sweat and they squelched a little as they both tried to catch their breath.

  “Wow,” Jade said. “That was… I have no words. But I may hold you to your promise to never leave the bedroom.”

  Wes and Troy shared a smile. Their egos and their cats both soothed that they not only hadn’t hurt Jade with their joining, but that she enjoyed it.

  * * * *

  Asher smiled as he smoothed the hair from Jade’s sweat-dampened face. “I think you broke them, little one.”

  Jade turned her eyes up to meet his, not moving from her position between Troy and Wes. “I broke them how?”

  “There’s no computer in this room,” Barrett said, handing him a couple of warm, wet washcloths.

  “Jade is in this room,” Troy said. He moaned as he rose to his knees and took one of the cloths from Asher, gently cleaning their mate. “What else do we need?”

  “Nothing,” Wes said. He sat up with Jade held firmly against him.

  Asher could sense Wes’s arousal rising again, and easily felt Wes’s cat’s reluctance to be separated from its mate. That was just tough. Asher knew they only had a few minutes respite left. The clock was still ticking from when Troy had inadvertently commenced the claiming.

  He’d heard stories of the pain a mate had to endure if the mating wasn’t completed. He knew the legends of the rare deaths that had ensued were all true, and he wasn’t about to let that happen to Jade because Wes was still horny.

  “I need our mate,” Asher said. Holding out his arms he saw Wes’s cat move across his skin in a possessive wave. “She needs us all, Wes. She’ll always need us all.”

  “You’re so perfect, Jade,” Wes said, kissing Jade tenderly. “I wish you could share my thoughts. You’d know then how much I love you.”

  Jade stroked Wes’s face as he easily lifted Jade’s slight frame and handed her to Asher.

  “I feel it in here,” Jade said, pressing her hand to her heart. “I feel warm inside.”

  Asher didn’t tell her the warmth she was feeling was actually her ribs healing at an increasingly accelerated rate now that she was mated to three shifters. He liked her thinking it was their love warming her from the inside, because he knew for a fact that three of them loved her already. He also suspected Barrett was equally smitten. His eyes were filled with lust and adoration as he gazed at Jade.

  “Are you in any pain, little one?” Asher needed to know this before he made love to her. He never wanted her to feel pain again.

  “I’m actually feeling better,” Jade said, clasping his face with her small hands. “So stop worrying, Asher.”

  She’d seen right through him. His mate was smart as well as beautiful. His painfully full cock jerked and she wriggled onto his lap, rubbing her ass against it. She was also the sexiest woman he’d ever encountered. He crashed his lips to hers, letting his need and joy free for her to see and feel. He needed her to know him, all of him.

  Her hands moved from his face to slide down his neck to his shoulders, pulling herself tightly against him. She wrapped her legs around his waist as he lowered her to the bed and settled himself between her thighs.

  “I can’t make love to you without first tasting your sweet pussy. My cat and I are desperate to discover if you taste as sweet as you smell.”

  Jade’s blush at his words screamed of innocence and inexperience. He vowed to find out why that was when she claimed to have had previous sexual partners.

  Kissing a path down her silky smooth skin was a sensual delight that warred with his predatory rage. Her fading bruises and healing bite marks threatened to unleash his cat to hunt down and kill those that had so abused her.

  “Your skin is so soft, Jade, and you taste of the caramel in your scent.”

  He had reached the apex of her thighs and didn’t hesitate to lick through her moist folds, making her words incoherent as she moaned in pleasure. God, he loved her moans. His desire returned full force, nearly making him come.

  “You taste even sweeter than I imagined. I am never going to get enough of you.”

  “Please,” Jade said, her pelvis lifting to press her pussy tight to his mouth.

  Asher growled softly, running his tongue around her swollen clit and using the vibrations to add to her pleasure. She came with a soft scream, her quick response making him certain she was sexually naive.

  Moving up her body with the speed of his cat, he was stroking his cock into the tight heat of her pussy in less than a second. He kissed her deeply, her body still trembling with pleasure. Pumping into her slowly he drew out her pleasure.

  When her pussy relaxed he picked up his speed. She wrapped her legs around him and he sunk deeper. His balls drew up tight, the tingling down his spine a warning that he was too close to hold back much longer.

  He released her lips and nibbled down her neck to the spot where it joined her shoulder. “I want you to come with me,” he said, his voice soft and rough with his cat’s rumbling growl.

  “Asher, I can’t.”

  He let his canines extend and they easily pierced her delicate skin. Her blood trickled into his mouth as she came, her legs clamping her to him as her pussy milked him to climax. He came hard, each spurt of his cum shooting pleasure through his entire body.

  His arms shook as he rocked into Jade in a frenzied rhythm that had them both crying out their pleasure. By the time they’d both stopped coming, Asher felt so drained he barely had the strength to hold himself up.

  Surprisingly it was Troy who clasped a hand over his shoulder to keep him from crushing Jade as he rolled to the side. He wrapped his arm around Jade to bring her with him until she lay over his chest.

  “Incredible,” Asher said, his arms feeling like jelly as he stroked his hands down Jade’s back.

  “I never knew sex could feel this good,” Jade said. She turned her face into his chest and inhaled deeply before branding him with a soft kiss. “You smell so good, Asher. You all do.”

  Jade bounced a little as he chuckled. “It can’t compare to your scent, my Jade. Yours is now embedded so deep in my skin I’ll never be free of it.”

  She lifted an eyebrow, clearly too spent to ask what he’d meant.

  “It’s a shifter thing, darlin’,” Barrett said.

  The bed rocked as Barrett sat down beside them. “Are you sure you’re even a cat?” Asher said, a smile threatening to ruin his insult. “You have all the grace of a damned bear.”

  “There are bear people?”

  “We have a lot to share with you, Jade,” Barrett said. “But not today. Suffice it to say Asher was insulting me. You need food. You’re too skinny and you’ve eaten nothing all day.”

  Asher sat up with Jade in his arms, nearly head butting Barrett in his haste. “We’ve been poor mates. Our mother raised us to be better than this.”

  “She’s going to find out just how much we’ve been neglecting our mate, too,” Troy said.

  “We’re in big trouble,” Wes said.

  “What the hell are you two talking about?” Asher stilled, the words barely spoken when he heard the door of a truck slam. “Shit. How did I miss them approaching?”

  “You were a little busy,” Barrett said, his tone mocking.

  A
sher could see all of his brothers were happy he’d finally slipped up. He’d let them enjoy themselves at his expense. He’d been on another plane of existence when he’d been inside his mate. But he’d remember not to get so lost in his pleasure again. Not until the wolf stalking her was dead, anyway.

  “I think Jade would like a shower before she meets our parents again,” Asher said, rising smoothly and keeping Jade cradled in his arms.

  Her eyes were wide, the sweet scent of her arousal being tainted by the acidic aroma of fear. “Your parents? Oh no.”

  Wes and Troy were at her side an instant later. “You didn’t like our parents?” Their faces wore identical frowns of confusion and hurt.

  “I have nothing clean to wear,” Jade said, her voice rising in panic.

  Chapter 12

  Beau snarled, smashing his fist into a cubicle door, tearing it from its hinges to collide with the dirty toilet.

  “What do you mean you can’t scent her?”

  “It means she never made it this far,” Justin said, turning to stare at Beau like he had a right to judge himself superior. Justin was truly going to regret that emotion as he died painfully and slowly.

  “She’s in Eminence. It’s only twenty minutes back down the road,” Harry said softly. He was attempting to calm Beau’s wolf, and Beau allowed it.

  “The last town stunk of fucking cats. How the hell could anyone scent anything over that stench?” Justin said derisively. He tipped the last of the whiskey down his throat and threw the bottle against the broken cubicle door.

  “Because I’m that good,” Harry said, staring at Beau. “She was there.”

  “Then she’s still there, or she found another mode of transport other than the bus.” Beau ignored Justin as he proceeded to urinate on the sinks in the ladies’ restroom. Some shifters really were little more than their animals. Justin was truly an ignorant mongrel.

  “This is a remote area and her scent was still fresh,” Harry said. “She’s still there.”
