“It’s done. She accepted us. We have our mate, Luca.” Nate reached over and clapped him on the shoulder before he nuzzled his face into Cammi’s neck.
That they did. For some reason his jaguar still wasn’t settled. It was as if he could sense something coming their way. Or maybe it was simply the fact he hadn’t been inside his mate’s pretty little pussy yet.

“Hmmm.”
Cammi woke feeling warm sunshine on her naked skin. Why am I naked outside? She wiggled her hips as all the delicious memories floated through her mind and aroused her all over again. She lifted her arms above her head as she arched her back in a stretch.
“Oh, darlin’ you look so good when you do that.”
Wet heat engulfed both her nipples as warm masculine hands stroked her body. With a moan she wove her fingers into each man’s hair and held them to her as they feasted on her flesh. She pressed her thighs together as she shuddered. The coil of arousal wound tight in her belly. A whimper left her when they both released her girls and moved away.
“Don’t worry, sugar, we’re far from finished with you.”
Their hands continued to stroke and caress her and somehow in the mist of her lust filled haze she ended up on all fours. She looked up with a frown to see Nate sitting close to her, his back leaning against a smooth gum tree trunk, the late afternoon sun bathing his body in muted light. With a sly grin he curled his finger at her, motioning for her to come to him. Mesmerized by his power she crawled over to him. His gaze left her face and moved lower. Cammi could feel her girls swaying as she moved and grinned as Nate’s erection twitched in response to what he was seeing.
She pressed a small kiss to his ankle when she reached him, and another on his inside knee. His leg jerked, and he groaned. Feeling bolder than she’d ever been before meeting these men, she nibbled her way up his thigh before giving his cock a long lick. She cupped him in her hand, gently caressing his balls as she tongued his piercing and slit. She loved the taste of him, she loved both their tastes. Different, yet similar. Both her men tasted of wilderness and masculine spice. With a grin she decided she’d have to do this blindfolded at some point to test if she could tell them apart by their taste and smell.
Lips pressed against her spine pulled her attention back to her surroundings. Luca’s hand slid between her thighs to tease her slick folds as he continued to kiss and nip her back. Leaning her forearms against Nate’s thighs she took him deep in her mouth. His hands wound in her hair and guided her how he liked it. Slow, long strokes from root to tip. She made sure to flick his ring each time he pulled out. She heard a purr-like sound leave her throat and he shuddered beneath her attentions.
She lifted from Nate with wide eyes as Luca pressed into her. He was huge. She panted as her body fought to adjust to his size. Cammi hadn’t had sex in a long time and she was swollen from being with Nate earlier.
“Breathe, sugar. Everything will be fine, just breathe for me, Cammi.”
Focused on Nate’s gentle gaze and the soft stroke of his thumbs over her cheeks, she took a deep breath in and exhaled. Luca’s finger pressed against her clit and she jolted like he’d electrocuted her. Liquid heat left her core and she thrust back against Luca. Following her lead, he fully impaled himself inside her. The feel of his hips against her ass felt divine. Lust clouded her mind. She couldn’t think. She was left with only instinct and that suited her just fine.
She bent to Nate’s thick cock and took him all the way to the back of her throat, swallowing against him and relishing in his labored breathing and tight grip in her hair. Luca began moving inside her, deep thrusts that reached her cervix. The pleasure-pain of it coiled tightly in her womb, so very close to sending her over into climax.
“Oh sugar, you got me so close to the edge already.”
Nate pulled her mouth from his steely hard cock and holding her firmly with one hand, he took the other and began stroking himself. With a roar he came, warm jets landing on her swaying breasts as Luca continued to thrust into her. It was too much, when Nate ran his hand over her flesh, rubbing his seed into her skin, she blew apart. A scream tore from her throat as she convulsed around Luca’s hard length inside her. She vaguely felt his grip tighten on her hips and heard his roar as she felt warmth fill her core.
Completely worn out and contented beyond belief, she allowed her body to go limp, her head resting against Nate’s muscular thigh. His scent filled her senses as she inhaled. She felt a smug grin spread over her lips.
“You’re all ours now, Cammi. Claimed and scented. Ours.”
Nate’s words didn’t really compute. Claimed she got, but scented?
“What do you mean by that?”
Her voice was rough from screaming and quiet due to lack of energy.
“Both Luca and I have claimed your body and we’ve both rubbed our semen into your skin. Humans won’t be able to smell it. But any shifter male will know by your scent alone that you are off the market.”
She hummed as she recalled Luca coming over her back as he’d bitten her earlier. Luca kissed her cheek and stroked his hand down her side. He pressed his palm over the outside of her upper leg.
“Have you seen your thigh yet, darlin’?”
“No, I’m happy looking at Nate’s for the moment, thanks.”
“Cheeky girl. It’s worth the effort to look. It’s so gorgeous.”
Huh? What on earth did he mean by that? She took a deep breath and pushed herself up. Twisting around she gazed down at her leg. Her eyes went wide and her breath stopped. There was a massive tattoo on her thigh. A stylized jaguar, she’d guess. It looked to be climbing its way up her body.
“What the hell…”
She turned toward Nate and pushed at his leg until she could see his outer thigh. He had a mark just like hers. She traced it with her finger.
“They’re mating marks, sugar. Luca has one too. They appeared while you were sleeping earlier.”
Mating mark. Hell, why not? Could this day get any more bizarre? She nuzzled her way up Nate’s body until he had her wrapped in his arms and pressed against his warm flesh.
“I’m too worn out to deal with this. Wake me when something normal happens, would you?”
With the sound of the men chuckling she contentedly slipped back into the land of dreams.
Chapter Five
There was nothing that could wipe the smile from Nate’s face. He felt ten feet tall as he followed his mate and co-mate back to the car. Like a sleepy kitten, Cammi had curled up in his lap and napped. They’d let her be for about half an hour before they woke her with gentle kisses and caresses. Her skin was so soft, and now that she carried both their scents, Nate found it near impossible to resist stripping her naked and having his way with her every ten minutes.
Luca opened the car door and helped Cammi hop in. Forcing his attention back to the vehicle, he moved around and got in the driver’s side. Luca slipped in the back beside Cammi, and Nate chuckled.
“Just need one of those black driver’s hats and I’d be a chauffeur.”
“You’d probably need a shirt, too.”
He turned and winked at Cammi’s cheeky comment before he headed back to their house.
“I’m not ready to go back to town yet.”
“Good thing that. We weren’t taking you back to town, sugar.”
“Ah, well, where are you taking me?”
“Your new home of course. You’re our mate, Cammi. You need to live with us.”
He heard her hiss in a breath. “I didn’t think of that side of things.”
He kept an eye on the mirror as well as the road as Luca tilted her face to his. “You don’t mind living out here do you? If you really want to live in town we can. Only, out here we have more freedom to roam in jaguar form.”
“I love it out here, I’ve always loved the reserve. It’s just. Well. Tim isn’t going to be happy about all this happening so suddenly. He’s going to have a fit.”
&nb
sp; “Don’t worry about Tim, Cammi. He’ll get over it.”
A loud chime went off and Nate saw Cammi lunge for her handbag on the floor.
“Oh, fuck. No way.”
Nate pulled the car up in front of their house and turned to take in Cammi’s sudden white face and wide eyes.
“What is it, sugar?”
“Um, it’s Tim. He has Rogue.”
The bottom of Nate’s stomach dropped. Fuck! Rogue was Luca’s little brother, not Nate’s. However, having known him since the day he was born, Nate felt like his big brother, too. While he was still assimilating the information, Luca snatched the phone from Cammi’s unresponsive fingers with a low growl. She flinched at the sound and Nate’s heart cracked a little. She had no need to fear them, they’d never hurt her.
“Read it out, Luca. What’s he up to?”
“He says I believe I found something of yours today. Return Cammi and it’s all yours. He’s taken a snapshot of Rogue in a bloody possum trap. Bastard. Rogue can’t shift in such a small space. He’d be hurting so bad by now.”
“How long ago did the message get sent? You know the reception out in the reserve isn’t good. It didn’t come through just now did it?”
Luca looked up and held Nate’s gaze with ice cold fury burning in his irises. “It was sent three hours ago.”
Nate gripped the wheel tight. Luca was pure alpha male. Nate had always respected how Luca was level-headed and able to remain calm in any situation. There was no doubt he’d be the next Prowl leader when his father stepped aside. But Rogue was his baby brother, and nothing ever got under Luca’s skin like someone messing with his family. Nate swallowed as he realized, at least for the moment, he would need to be the strong one to keep Luca calm.
Cammi reaching for her phone caught his attention. “Here, let me call him,” she said. “I’ll tell him it’s all a big misunderstanding, that I’m fine and here by choice.”
A quick glance at Luca confirmed Nate’s assumption. Luca’s hands were resting on his thighs, clenched and shaking. Damn. Luca was dangerously close to flashing to his jaguar. If Cammi called Tim, things weren’t going to improve. He could see Luca grabbing the phone and saying something stupid in the heat of the moment. Something that could get Rogue killed. He returned his focus on Cammi.
“Sugar, he saw that himself this morning. After what happened with Tilly, he thinks we’ve brain washed you or some shit. A phone call isn’t going to cut it. Let’s go inside, get cleaned up.” He looked at Luca before he continued. “Luca, buddy, you right to ring your dad?”
“Yeah, Nate. I’ll call him. He ain’t going to be happy.” Luca thumped his fist into the padded part of the door. “Damn it, Rogue! Why couldn’t he just listen when I told him to stop wandering off?”
“He’s aptly named, Luca. He’s always going to do what he wants. Especially while he’s young. C’mon, get your dad over here and we’ll sort this out. Remember, you need to keep your cool. If you lose it now, you’ll be useless in any kind of rescue we plan.”
Luca’s gaze snapped to his with fire sparking in their depths. A moment later he took a deep breath and shuddered. Some of the fury left his gaze and he turned to Cammi. Following suit, Nate didn’t miss the tear silently slide down Cammi’s pale cheek.
“Sorry darlin’, I think Tim’s lost the plot for real this time.” Luca paused to sigh. “I don’t think this is going to end well for Tim.”
Another tear slid down her cheek. She was silent as her pain filled the air of the car. After a slow blink that released more tears, she opened the door and got out with jerky movements. Luca and Rogue forgotten, Nate jumped from the car and raced around to her side. She wasn’t well, shock maybe? Damn, he didn’t know. Nate stayed close as she climbed the stairs and headed toward the front door. Luca jogged ahead of them and opened the way. As she passed him, Luca stopped her and gathered her close. She looked stiff and a little robotic. What the hell was wrong with her? Nate raised an eyebrow to Luca who shrugged. He released her and she moved into the house, allowing Luca to speak to him without her overhearing. Not that she was taking in anything at the moment.
“I’ll ring Dad. Get him to come here. Our place is the closest to town, and once he gives the go ahead, we’ll be leaving. We can’t waste any more time waiting to rescue Rogue. Nate, how about you take Cammi into the bathroom? Give her a shower, see if you can snap her back from her zone out. She’s had a big day, so much has happened. We didn’t need this layer of shit on top of it all. Damn Tim. And damn Jace!”
Nate pulled Luca into him for a quick man-hug before he moved to follow Cammi who aimlessly paced around the living room.
“C’mon sugar, let’s go get cleaned up.”
He led her to the master bathroom which had the biggest shower and willed their clothes from their bodies as he flicked the lever for the shower. He coaxed her under the spray and the second she got wet she gasped and clung to him, panting.
“Thank the stars, you’re back.”
He gathered her close and caressed her back as he kissed her shoulder and up to her neck. Palming her face, he devoured her mouth. Relief poured through him that she was okay. Her small hands moved over his chest and he groaned. He pulled back from the kiss and rested his forehead against hers.
“Damn, Cammi. You scared us half to death.”
“Sorry. I’m not sure what happened. I don’t remember anything after seeing the message from Tim.” She went still in his arms and he could feel her holding her breath. “Where’s Luca? He hasn’t run off, has he?”
“I’m right here, darlin’. We’ll talk about Rogue in a few. I need to hold you right now.”
Nate looked his co-mate and best friend in the eye. He looked tired, sad and worried. Luca moved up behind Cammi, and she shimmied her hips against him as she reached her hands up behind her to tangle in Luca’s hair. He lowered his head to the base of her neck, where their bite marks were, and nuzzled. Nate grabbed the soap and knelt to begin washing her. Her legs were stunning. Long and lean, with silky smooth skin. He pressed kisses against her flesh as he rinsed the bubbles free. By the time he reached the junction of her thighs she was squirming. A glance up showed him Luca had palmed her breasts and was tweaking and pulling on her hard nipples.
Slowly he leaned in and took one long lick of her slit. She jolted before spreading her legs in invitation. Luca moved Cammi so he stood to her side. Nate pressed her against the tiled wall. She arched against the coldness and Nate took full advantage. He cupped her sweet little bottom in his palms and tilted her hips toward him. Lowering his mouth to her, he set about devouring his mate with the firm belief that Luca was giving her the same treatment up higher on her tasty lush body.

Dressed in a clean t-shirt and shorts that Cammi had ‘wished’ from her bedroom, she curled up on the couch. That is going to take some getting used to. Apparently her shifter powers would slowly increase until she shifted for the first time. By then she’d have them all and would just need practice to focus them. She sat curled up on the couch. She trailed her gaze over each of her men, who continued to pace around the room like caged tigers, err, jaguars. A loud knock on the front door was followed by footsteps as people entered the house. She turned to see Jace, Tilly and an older man enter the room. Tilly left the men and headed straight to her on the couch. As she approached, Cammi raised an eyebrow at the men all leaving the room.
“Where are they off to?”
“Oh, you know men. They have to go huff and puff and flex their muscles… Secret men’s business.”
Tilly winked with a cheeky smile before her features turned serious and she sat next to Cammi.
“What’s he done this time? Please tell me.”
“I’m not sure how he managed it. But Tim’s caught Rogue in jaguar form. He sent me a message, Tilly. I guess it was for the men. It had a photo of him in a cage. Poor kid.”
Tilly sighed as she rubbed the bridge of her nose.
; “You know, I love Jace. But I could kick him for the damage he’s done to Tim. Never in a million years would I think Tim capable of something like this. Before Jace attacked him, Tim was so kind and gentle.”
“He still is. Most of the time. He’s been like my big brother ever since I came to town.”
“How long have you been in Ceduna?”
“I moved from Adelaide five years ago. It’s a long story, one we don’t have time for right now. What are we going to do?”
“Not sure. I don’t want to see Tim hurt again, yet Rogue doesn’t deserve to be held like a stray animal at a shelter either. Poor cub must be terrified.”
“What if we go talk to him? He didn’t want me going with the men this morning, carrying on about how you were brainwashed and they’d do the same to me. Do you think we could get through to him?”
“Sadly, no. I don’t think we can. I’ve tried before, soon after I got back to town following mating with Jace. He wouldn’t hear anything I tried to tell him. We might be able to sneak in and free Rogue, though. Tim didn’t like cats before the attack, he’d hate them now. I’ll bet he’s put Rogue in that cage so he can leave him in the garage or laundry.”
“Okay, both the garage and the laundry have outside doors. I have my keys so that’s not a problem. However, getting past the men here might be.”
Tilly chuckled darkly. “Not a problem. They’ll be holed up banging their chests for ages yet. They won’t even notice us leaving.”
Shaking her head, Cammi followed Tilly out the side door of the house and around to the cars. They took Tilly’s early model Suzuki Vitara.
“I seriously love your car.”
“Yeah, she’s getting on now, but I still love her.”
The car might be over ten years old, but the red paint was in perfect condition. The canvas roof was off currently, although Cammi would put money on it being in perfect condition, too. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of the wind on her face as they drove toward town.
