Jaguar Secrets

by Khloe Wren

  “Don’t cry, Cammi. We’re here now. Me and Luca are here. We got you. You’re safe.”

  She closed her eyes as more tears tracked down her face. What the fuck did you do, Tim? In a panic he grabbed her face between both palms, wanting a connection to his mate. He gasped as her thoughts barreled into his mind. Is Tim right? Will they attack me? Hurt me. Will I ever be safe? Did I make the right decision mating and bonding with them?

  Before Nate could find the words to tell her she was wrong, blue and red lights flashed through the house moments before the place was swarmed with men and women in uniform. Not that Nate cared. He was frozen to the floor beside Cammi, his heart breaking. Had they lost her to whatever Tim had done?

  “C’mon, Nate. The medics want to see to her. Tim’s obviously drugged her with something.”

  Nate allowed Luca to pull him up from the floor and into his arms. Nate readily accepted the strength of his co-mate. Their bond had grown stronger since the mating. It still wasn’t romantic, but he felt Luca on a soul deep level he hadn’t before.

  “We can’t lose her, Luca. He’s done something to her. When I cupped her face, I heard her thoughts, as though she was pushing them at me. Even though I know that wasn’t the case. Whatever Tim did, it made her mind wide open to me. Tim’s got her scared and questioning everything.”

  “We won’t lose her Nate. Not like this. We’ll win her heart again if we have to. Have faith.”

  As her limp body was loaded onto a stretcher and wheeled from the bedroom, Cammi watched Luca and Nate. Her vision was hazy but she could make out that they clung to each other. Tim’s words whirled through her mind and she couldn’t make sense of anything. Tim had been cuffed and taken away a few minutes ago. Didn’t that mean Tim was the one in the wrong? Luca and Nate followed her out of the house without any police officers near them. Confusion reigned in her mind and she closed her eyes against it all. Cammi reopened them when she felt the bumps as she was loaded into the ambulance.

  “One of you boys coming with us or meeting us there? Can’t really fit both of you in here.”

  Cammi could feel their stares bore into her, unfortunately she couldn’t move any part of her body. Even if she could, she didn’t know what to do. More tears left her eyes as she heard the men say they’d meet them at the hospital. The doors closed and the vehicle began to move. A radio crackled from the front of the vehicle. Male voices spoke, but Cammi couldn’t focus on the sounds. She felt a cuff being placed around her upper arm, and pressure on her fingertip as a monitor was clipped on. Her shirt was unbuttoned and cold patches attached to her chest. Her mind continued to spin and all the machines beeping in the small space didn’t help. Her breathing picked up as she began to panic. A mask was placed over her face and she struggled to get free from it. She didn’t want to be smothered. Finally her arms responded and she raised them to rip the mask free. The men grabbed her and pinned her down to the bed. She heard velcro rip and felt its firm hold against her flesh. She cried out in frustration and thrashed her head. The men were talking, but her ears were over sensitive now. Her eyes were, as well, and she closed them against the suddenly bright lights. She felt a tight grip on her arm above where she was strapped down and then the sting of a needle. Cammi tried to scream, though no sound came out. Her tongue still felt thick in her dry mouth. She felt tingling up her arm as whatever they gave her wound its way through her body. Her mind settled instantly. She took a deep breath and relaxed against the hard mattress.

  The bed jerked and she squinted to see them wheel her from the ambulance and into the hospital. The lights didn’t seem so bright now. People spoke over her as she was moved into a large room. She couldn’t concentrate to follow the conversation, but phrases like ‘mind-incapacitating drug’ and ‘rape kit’ caught her attention. She felt more tears track down her face and her body began to shake. What had Tim done to her? He’d told her he wouldn’t ever hurt her … but he had and she couldn’t remember precisely how badly.

  Chapter Seven

  Luca sat next to Nate in Cammi’s room, waiting for her to wake up. He hated that she was strapped to the bed. The doctor had told them she’d become agitated on the ride over to the hospital. Nate caught his attention as he sighed and scrubbed his face in his hands.

  “She’ll be fine, Nate. The doc is sure the drugs will be completely out of her system soon, if not already. She’s just worn out and sleeping.”

  “You didn’t see her face back in that room, Luca. Physically she’ll be fine, but I’m not so sure she’s going to feel the same way toward us after Tim was in her head for six hours straight.”

  Cammi groaned and Luca shot to his feet and went to her side. Nate appeared at her other side.

  “Hey darlin’, how you feeling?”

  Luca couldn’t resist touching her. He ran his fingertips over her face before palming her cheek. She slowly turned into his caress and lightly kissed his palm as he felt her inhale against his skin. Relief poured through him at her show of affection. The way she turned into his touch left her gaze level with Nate’s. Luca watched them stare at each other a moment before Nate lowered toward her. Luca slipped his hand down to her neck as Nate gently took her mouth. Cammi hummed as Nate sipped at her lips. Suddenly she stiffened, and Nate pulled back.

  “What’s wrong, sugar? I didn’t hurt you did I?”

  She shook her head slightly before she glanced down to her hands.

  “Why … my arms?”

  Her voice was raspy and her speech broken.

  “You got a little active earlier. Let me call the nurse in and we’ll get you freed up.”

  Luca reached to press the call button and watched as Nate brought a cup of water with a straw to her lips. She eyed the cup suspiciously a moment.

  “It’s just water, sugar. You’re in hospital now. No more tricks or drugs. Luca and I would never do that to you.”

  She took a small sip, waiting a minute before returning to the straw to drain the drink. Fury ran through Luca at her lack of trust in something as simple as a drink of water. He was starting to wonder about his wisdom in letting the police take Tim away before he could beat the holy hell out of the bastard. As Nate refilled her cup a nurse came in and checked Cammi over.

  “She looks good. All her vitals are back to normal. I’ll just double check with the doctor although she should be able to go home.”

  The nurse quickly removed the straps from Cammi’s wrists before she moved from the room. Luca stepped back to the bed and lifted her hand to his lips where he kissed the soft flesh of her inside wrist. She flexed her fingers and cupped his face. He closed his eyes on a sigh as he nuzzled into her palm. She was going to be okay, and she still wanted them.

  “What happened to Rogue and Tilly?”

  Cammi’s voice sounded a lot better from drinking the water. Luca soaked up the sound of it, allowing Nate to answer her question.

  “Rogue’s fine. He’s been given some sleeping pills to knock him out until his body recovers but he’ll be right as rain in no time. As for Tilly, Tim admitted to the police that he drugged a drink he gave you. Tilly refused to take anything from him. He tried to convince her Jace was using her and was no good, however, Tilly’s been with Jace for years now. Their bond is too strong to be broken by anything so mundane as the tactics Tim was using. Especially without the drug to back him up.”

  “I drank juice. He promised he wouldn’t hurt me. That he cared.”

  “We spoke with the police while you were sleeping, darlin’. Tim honestly thought he was saving you and Tilly. He’s been assessed by a doctor who’s diagnosed him with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from the attack he suffered.”

  “He was never weird like he is now. I guess PTSD would explain that. Hope he gets help now.”

  “You got a big heart, sugar. Not sure I believe he deserves it after what he did to you, but he’s going to get help.”

  Unable to put off his greatest fear any longer, Nat
e bit out the question. “Cammi? He didn’t hurt you did he? After he gave you the drugs.”

  Luca held his breath as he waited for Cammi to answer his question.

  “No, not physically. He wanted to be in my head, not my body. He planted seeds of doubt. Had me believing I couldn’t fully trust any shifter to not attack me like he was mauled. To be honest, it worked. By the time you guys got there, I didn’t know what to think. Then when you two didn’t rip Tim apart and left him to the police, that proved to me that you weren’t like Tim said. You may be part animal, but you still have control and human reasoning.”

  Luca was full of mixed emotions. He was furious Tim managed to turn his mate against him, and relived she hadn’t been raped or hurt. Mostly he wanted to gather her in his arms, take her home with Nate and keep her in their bed for the rest of their lives. His thoughts were interrupted by the nurse returning to the room.

  “Okay, the doctor is happy for you to head home, so if you could just sign these release documents you’ll be free to go.”

  Cammi didn’t waste any time in signing the papers. The nurse left them after telling her to take it easy for a few days, to allow her body and mind to recover fully.

  “So, sugar. Where do you wanna go?”

  She frowned up at Nate. “Where do you think I want to go?”

  Nate shifted nervously. Such a big man looking so lost would ordinarily have Luca laughing. Not now, though. He was feeling the same way. They needed Cammi to say the words. To confirm Tim hadn’t damaged her opinion of them. Luca had never felt more insecure in his life.

  “I know I haven’t known either of you very long, but I believe what you’ve told me. I didn’t agree to mate with you both just to walk out on you.” She paused to reach out to them. Luca stepped in close to her and took a hand at the same time as Nate.

  “Take me home.”

  Cammi covered her mouth as she yawned. She rolled over to look out the window. The sun was just beginning to set and the room was washed in a red glow. She’d been released from the hospital early this morning and had fallen asleep in the car on the drive. She didn’t recall at all how she got into this bed or how she came to be naked beneath the sheets.

  She looked around the room and figured it must be Luca’s. There was a family photo on the tallboy and several smaller photos of him with Luca doing various activities over a range of ages. Stretching, she rose from the bed and, after wrapping the sheet around her body, she moved to take a closer look. She was chuckling over an image of her two men as young lads—covered in red mud, with huge grins and an arm around each other’s shoulders—when she felt an arm snake around her middle.

  “Hey there, darlin’. Feeling better?”

  “Hmm … Luca. I’m feeling a lot better. Just laughing at your and Nate’s memories.”

  “Yeah, we’ve always been close … and in trouble.”

  Feeling a little frisky she let go of the sheet and reached back to run her fingers through Luca’s hair. She gasped as he cupped her bared breasts and tweaked her nipples. He nuzzled her neck until she leaned her head over baring her throat to him.

  Luca licked over the spot he’d bitten her when they’d mated before he rumbled to her. “My mate.”

  “Hmm, that I am. Whatcha going to do with me now you have me?”

  “Oh, we have plans, sugar.”

  Nate’s deep voice made her jump. She hadn’t realized he was in the room, too. Cammi released Luca’s neck and took a step back as she turned to face her men. The sheet had now dropped to the floor, leaving her naked to their gazes. She willed their shorts away and grinned like a fool as their masculine beauty was revealed to her. They both growled low as they prowled toward her.

  “Seems only fair. I’m naked, you should be, too.”

  “You feeling hungry, now that you’re all recovered, darlin’?”

  “It certainly seems that way.”

  Amazing what several hours of solid deep sleep could do for a girl’s mood.

  She backed toward the bed, giving the men her best come hither look. Luca reached her first. He quickly scooped her up and tossed her on to the large mattress. She giggled as she landed, before gasping as both her girls were treated to some loving from her mates. Two hands ran down her body and as one stopped to torment her clit, the other delved deeper, pressing into her slick folds.

  She wiggled her hands down the fronts of both men and took a cock in each palm. Their bodies arched toward her as she gently pumped them. They moved from her breasts to nuzzle her neck, both licking the places they’d bitten to mate with her. They stroked her body faster as she increased her movements on them. She rubbed the sensitive vee on the underside of Luca’s cock as she flicked Nate’s piercing with the other thumb. With low growls they both shuddered and came, coating her ribs and tummy. She continued to gently pump their cocks when the men moved their hands from her pussy to rub their seed into her skin. She rubbed her thighs together as her womb clenched. For some reason, the fact that they wanted her to smell like them, to claim her, had her turned on like a furnace in the middle of winter.

  They each pulled their still stiff erections from her grip and she whimpered at the loss until Luca’s hands spread her legs and his tongue thrust inside her core. A wave of intense heat washed over her. Panting from the overwhelming sensations, she greedily sucked Nate’s cock into her mouth when he pressed it against her lower lip. She twirled her tongue around his ring before she sucked him in deep, swallowing against his hard length when he bumped the back of her throat. She shivered and hummed as she tasted Nate and teased his piercing.

  Luca was sucking, licking and thrusting into her with his fingers and tongue and it didn’t take long for her to teeter on the edge of an orgasm. She screamed around Nate’s cock as she flew apart. Again they both withdrew from her and again she whimpered at the loss.

  “I need more.”

  “Oh, sugar, we’re far from done with you.”

  Through half lidded eyes, she watched them move. Luca pressed his smooth head against her lips and she willingly opened wide to allow him to fuck her mouth. He gripped her hair in one fist and her cheek with the other palm as he began a steady rhythm. She hummed around him, loving his taste and his dominance.

  She gasped as she felt Nate slide his cock into her wet heat, his metal ring with its little ball gliding all the way inside her walls. Man, she loved that thing. It felt so damn good sliding in and out. She couldn’t wait for him to turn her over and enter her from behind. She shuddered as she remembered him tormenting her g-spot with it.

  Nate set a slow pace, gliding in and out of her with long controlled strokes. The coil in her womb began to tighten and she sucked harder on Luca with each thrust into her mouth. She rubbed her tongue over his slit, gathering all he had to give. Mewling at his taste, he thrust deep and held her on him as he pulsed and came down her throat. She lapped it all up and after another few minutes of him fucking her mouth, he pulled free and caressed her cheeks with his thumbs.

  “I love you, Cammi.”

  She looked up to Luca with unshed tears in her eyes. “Love you, too.”

  With a loud growl Nate pulled free from her body and quickly flipped her over onto her front, he raised her up on all fours and thrust back in, hard and deep. The little metal ball rested right over her g-spot and didn’t Nate know it. He used short little thrusts to torment her and, within seconds, she tumbled into her second climax of the evening. Her body on fire as white sparks filled her vision.

  She heard him roar, and felt warmth flow into her womb.

  “I love you, Cammi.”

  She turned to look over her shoulder at Nate. “Love you, too.”

  They both loved her. Still shuddering from her climax and contented beyond belief that her two men loved her, she barely registered them leaving her body and changing places, again. Nate’s cock appeared before her face and she lowered down to lick over his head before taking him deep. Luca thrust into
her from behind and set a hard and fast pace. As Luca pounded into her, dominating and possessing her, Nate stroked her face, her hair, her girls … anywhere he could reach, all the while allowing her to lick and suck him however she pleased. The combination heated her up fast. In minutes, she was back on the ledge ready to fall. When both men stiffened and came, she followed a moment later.

  As she lay entwined with her men on the bed, all three of them breathing heavily, she felt the strangest sensation run through her. Unable to stay still, she quickly rose from the bed and paced the room. Luca and Nate both sat up to watch her with curious gazes.

  “What’s up, Cammi? We didn’t hurt you did we?”

  “I don’t think so. I just feel strange all of the sudden. Can’t stay still.”

  She frowned at them, as they both grinned like fools.

  “Just go with it, darlin’. You’re about to flash for the first time.”

  That stopped her dead in the tracks. Cammi’s jaw hung loose and she shook her head. The next thing she knew, she was staring up at them from closer to the ground. She looked down and saw two sleek black paws. Oh hell, I really am a shifter.

  “Yeah, sugar. You’re really a shifter. When you’re in jaguar form, you can push your thoughts out to others. Because we’re your mates, we get to hear a little more than everyone else.”

  She swallowed nervously as she glanced around the room. Seeing the full length mirror in the corner, she padded over to look at herself. A shaft of moon light shone in through the window and reflected off her fur. Her men appeared on either side of her. They stroked her fur and rubbed her ears.

  “Yep, I was right. You are the sexiest jaguar I ever saw.”

  “Especially with these faint spots on your black fur. Our cubs are going to be the envy of the whole damn Prowl.”

  Cubs? She gulped past a moment of panic allowing a sense of calm and rightness flow through her. I do want kids. Lots of kids to fill our house.

  “Well, darlin’, you’ll need to flash back to human if you want us to make sure you’re pregnant.”
