“Fuck, baby.” He gasped in a breath when he felt her clench around him. “Did I hurt you?”
“No.” Emmy wrapped her legs around his hips and tightened them, trying to pull him closer. He loved the way her heels dug into the cheeks of his ass.
He tapped her thighs. “Let go, baby.”
As soon as he unhooked her legs, he gripped her knees and bent them up toward her body with her feet flat on the mattress. He caressed his way down to her ankles, clasped them in his hands, lifted her legs high in the air, and spread them wide.
Declan retreated from her cunt and then drove back into her fast, hard, and deep.
“Yes. More!” Emmy demanded.
Declan released the hold on his control and gave her exactly what she asked for.
“Oh,” Emmy moaned.
He growled with approval when she canted her hips toward his. Declan felt like a ravaging beast as he powered in and out of her tight, hot, wet cunt. He’d never felt anything so amazing in his life, and while he was nowhere done with her yet, he couldn’t wait to start all over again.
Declan hunched over her and took her mouth with a rapacious carnal need as he continued to pump his hips. She kissed him back just as wildly until he released her lips to suck in a lungful of air. She gasped and groaned between her shallow pants for air, but when he felt the warning tingles at the base of his spine, he knew he wasn’t going to last much longer. He quickly glanced from Jett and then to Brooks, giving his friends a nod, and he shifted higher up onto his knees.
This time when he surged into her fast and deep, his shaft rubbed over her clit and the head of his dick caressed her G-spot. “Oh god,” Emmy gasped.
Brooks cupped her breast in his hand, kneading the soft globe before thrumming his thumb over her hard nipple. Jett pinched the other nipple between his finger and thumb, and kissed her like there was no tomorrow, and right then, there wasn’t. All that mattered was the here and now and making sure their mate climaxed before he claimed her as his.
The heat at the base of his spine spread around to encompass his balls, and for a second Declan didn’t think he was going to make it. That was until her internal muscles grew tauter and rippled around the length of his hard dick as he shuttled in and out of her wet pussy.
When he felt his balls draw up he knew he was seconds away from coming. “Move,” he ordered with a gasping breath, and if he’d had enough air in his lungs he would have thanked his friends when they immediately released her breasts and mouth and rolled toward the edge of the mattress.
Declan shoved his hands under Emmy’s ass, squeezing both cheeks as he blanketed her with his body and tilted her hips up. He was just in time.
“Declan!” Emmy screamed softly as she started to come.
He growled as he continued to drive his cock in and out of her cunt fast, hard and deep. His gums tingled just before his canines lengthened and he bent toward the crook of her neck and shoulder, bathing her sweet, sweat-coated skin with his tongue just before he climaxed.
His roar of pleasure started off loud but was quickly muffled when he sank his fangs into her flesh.
Emmy screamed again, but this time the noise sounded a little strangled as if she was about to choke. He wanted to gaze at her face to make sure she was all right, but there was no way he was breaking the connection he had with her.
Her cunt quaked and quivered around his juddering dick as if trying to suck the cum from his cock. His balls pulsed as they emptied, spuming his seed deep inside of his mate. He shook and shivered with a bliss he’d never before experienced in his life, and shouted with elation as he felt the connection click into place.
Although the legend regarding mates had been passed down from generation to generation, Declan hadn’t really believed they were true until Emmy had waltzed into town. His heart was so full of love and joy, tears actually burned the back of his eyes.
With a final shudder, he emptied the last of his juices deep inside his mate and his canines retracted on their own. The mating bond between him and Emmy was partially complete, and the gaping hole which he hadn’t even known was in his heart, filled.
Emmy was his mate, and he would spend the rest of his life living and loving with her at his side. Maybe one day she would even agree to have their cubs. He looked forward to spending each day with the love of his life.
* * * *
Emmy didn’t even notice she was shivering until Declan lifted up onto his elbows and met her gaze. She tried to blink him into focus, but her blurry vision wouldn’t clear. Although she’d just had the biggest orgasm of her life, her body was aching, but in a good way.
Even though she’d only had sex once, she’d never imagined in her wildest dreams that she would have enjoyed her partner being rough with her. While Declan had started off slowly—and she was very appreciative that he had—when he’d been taking her hard and fast, she’d loved every minute of it. The powerful yearning he’d unleashed inside of her was a side of Emmy she’d never suspected she’d harbored. However, now that she had a taste of what an explosive orgasm was like, she wanted, needed more.
“You okay, baby?” Declan asked.
Emmy hadn’t noticed she’d closed her eyes while she’d been lost in introspection until Declan had spoken, but she gave a mental shrug and forced her lids up again.
When she met his amazing green eyes and stared deeply into them, she almost gasped. There was so much feeling, so much emotion in those green depths, and while she would have liked to ask what was in his heart, she wasn’t that brave. Not yet, anyway.
“Did I hurt you, Emmy?” Declan asked, and she realized she hadn’t answered his earlier question.
“No, you didn’t hurt me.”
He cupped her cheek. “Are you sure, baby? I got a little rough in the end.”
She shook her head. “It was…amazingly special.”
The worry eased from Declan’s face and he smiled. Her heart flipped in her chest, and she found herself smiling back. She had no idea what Declan, Brooks, and Jett saw in her, but right now she was more than glad that they were attracted to her, wanted to mate with her. They were so damn handsome it almost hurt to look at them, but she wasn’t about to look a gift horse in the mouth. She had the rest of her life to look forward to, and she was going to enjoy every moment of it. She wasn’t naïve and knew there would be tough times ahead, but hopefully the good would outweigh the bad. They were dominant alphas, and they’d already proven how protective they were. She could see herself arguing with them if things got out of hand, but she knew the making up would make up for everything.
Declan pressed his lips against hers. “Can you feel it, Emmy?”
She frowned as she tried to figure out what he was talking about. A lightbulb flicked to life in her mind. “Yes.” She caressed his stubbled cheek with the tips of her fingers, loving the rasping sound they made as she stroked him. It just made him more masculine in her eyes, not that he needed to be so when the testosterone was already thick enough to cut through it. “I can feel you. Here.” She placed her hand between her breasts over where her heart was, and tried to keep the tears burning the back of her eyes from forming.
“I can, too.” Declan sipped at her lips. “You mean everything to me, baby.”
Emmy didn’t want to make more of his words than she should even while she hoped he was beginning to care for her. Wasn’t it too soon for declarations of love? And yet as that thought coalesced, it was difficult to stop herself from saying those words. Was she in love with Declan already? Was it possible to feel so much only after a couple of days? Logically, she knew it wasn’t, so she swallowed the words back. She wanted to be very sure of how she felt for Declan, Jett, and Brooks before she voiced those all-important words.
Emmy moaned when Declan shifted his weight on his knees. His softening cock slipped from her soaking pussy, causing sensitive nerves to react. She wasn’t tender, per se, but she was feeling a little raw.
Declan wrapped his ar
ms around her and rolled until they were lying on their sides. When she felt movement behind her, she glanced over her shoulder and met Brooks’ gaze. She’d been so caught up in Declan, she’d had no idea where he and Jett had gone, or if they were still in the room. It seemed the latter was true.
As she turned back to face Declan, she saw Jett staring at her hungrily. He was lying on his side behind Declan, but not close enough to touch his friend.
And then a scary thought entered her mind. They hadn’t used protection.
“What’s wrong, love?” Jett asked as he sat up with a worried frown on his face.
She met Declan’s gaze. “We didn’t use protection.”
“You don’t need to worry, Emmy,” Declan said.
“What do you mean I don’t—”
He placed a finger over her lips, cutting off her question. “You can’t conceive until after we’re fully mated. Plus, we’ve got an added advantage.”
“What’s that?”
Brooks kissed her shoulder. “We can smell when a female is in heat.”
“In heat?”
“What Brooks means is that we can smell when you’re in your fertile stage of your cycle, when you’re ovulating,” Jett explained.
“Oh.” Emmy sighed with relief again but tensed when another thought crossed her mind. “Does that mean you can also smell when I’ve got…when I’m…shit!”
Declan stroked a finger down her face. “Don’t be embarrassed, baby. It’s a natural part of life.”
“Being able to smell a woman’s cycle isn’t. Will the others be able to…smell me, too?”
“Yes,” Jett answered.
“Damn it!” Emmy covered her face as she felt it heat. How was she supposed to go about life, wandering around town when she knew the other men in town could smell her? She was so embarrassed she felt as if her face was on fire.
Brooks sat up and lifted her from the bed onto his lap. She hid her face in his neck and tried to control her humiliation. “Look at me, Emmy.”
She shook her head and hugged him tight. If it had been possible she would have crawled in under his skin and hidden for the rest of her life.
Brooks threaded his fingers into her hair and gently tugged her head back. Emmy sucked in a deep breath and dropped her hands away from her face. She had no reason to feel embarrassed. She couldn’t help it if the other men in this town had good noses. It might take her a while to get used to such things, but she couldn’t hide away forever. Hopefully, she would forget all about that aspect of being a shifter.
“The other shifters would never do or say anything to you, darlin’,” Brooks explained. “And if they did, they’d have to answer to me, Jett, and Declan. Okay?”
“Okay,” she sighed.
Declan sat up, leaned over, and kissed her on the forehead. “I’m going to clean up and then head back downstairs.” He shoved Jett off the edge of the bed and winked at her when he hit the floor with a loud thud.
“Hey,” Jett snarled playfully.
Declan grinned. “While I trust the Kodiaks to take care of things, it’s not fair for me to leave everything to them.”
“Will you let me work in the bar?” she asked as Declan got to his feet and headed toward the bathroom.
“If that’s what makes you happy, then yes, baby. You can do anything you want.”
“Thanks.” Emmy smiled. She turned her gaze up to Brooks’, and her breath hitched her in her throat when she saw the heat in his eyes. Arousal flared to life and she shivered as her skin heated. Now that she knew what it was like to really make love with a man, she craved more of the same, and from the way Brooks was looking at her, he needed her as much as she needed him.
“I want you, darlin’.”
A shudder of hunger raced up her spine when Brooks ducked his head and licked over her shoulder and then up her neck. She whimpered when he nipped her earlobe before sucking it into his mouth and lapping over the slight sting with his tongue.
“I want you, too.”
Her pussy clenched and cream dripped from her entrance when he made a growly sound deep in his throat. She looked over at Jett and almost choked when she noticed his boxers were gone and he was slowly pumping a hand up and down his long, thick, hard cock.
“I want you both to make love with me and claim me,” Emmy gasped out between her shallow panting breaths.
Brooks lifted her from his lap and placed her in the middle of the bed on her hands and knees. “Stay right where you are, darlin’,” he ordered as he climbed from the mattress and then shoved his boxers over his hips and down his legs.
Emmy forgot to breathe when she locked her gaze onto his erection. He was nearly as long as Declan had been, but he looked wider and there was a slight curve in his rod. She licked her lips as she wondered how his hard dick would feel gliding in and out of her sex.
She couldn’t wait to find out.
Chapter Eleven
Brooks was so fucking hard his cock was aching, and it was pulsing each time his heart beat. Pre-cum was leaking from the tip, and he felt as if he could blow from the slightest touch.
Even though he’d removed his boxers and was more than ready to make love with and claim his mate, he remained standing by the bed and counted as he breathed. His polar bear was snarling and growling and trying to urge him into marking their woman. No matter how many times he shoved his animal back down, he kept coming back up to the surface.
Jett cleared his throat to gain his attention, and when he quirked an eyebrow at him, Brooks nodded. He was more than onboard with Jett joining in. In fact, he needed his friend’s help to make sure that Emmy was ready for him. He wasn’t sure he’d be able to take the time that was needed for his mate to be wet enough to take him.
Jett maneuvered on the bed until his legs were under Emmy’s body, and when Brooks saw that the other man’s cock was almost in the perfect place for their mate to suck on, he realized what Jett had in mind. He just hoped that Emmy was okay with what they wanted. It didn’t matter that they’d already informed her they would need to make love with her together for the mating to be a strong, true connection. They needed to make sure they prepared her body to take them all together so they wouldn’t hurt her, but that wasn’t for today.
Today was the first step for each of them to make love with as well as mark and claim their mate. She was going to need to rest and recover after taking them all one after the other. Brooks just hoped they didn’t leave her too tender. If she was okay with it, maybe they would be able to complete the bond after letting her rest for a few hours.
His cock twitched when Emmy moaned, and Brooks hadn’t even noticed he’d closed his eyes until he heard that beautiful sound. As he climbed up onto the bed behind her, he saw that Jett had twisted around until his head was under Emmy’s chest. He was suckling on one of her nipples while pinching and plucking at the other with his finger and thumb. He was also caressing through her wet folds. Each time he stroked a finger over the sensitive pearl, she moaned and twitched.
Brooks moved in closer behind her and after nudging her knees a little wider, he caressed his hands over her back toward her ass. He couldn’t believe how warm and soft her skin was. He’d never tire of touching such baby softness.
Jett removed his hand from her cunt and shifted back to the position he was in before, with his legs under her and his hips below her face. He grabbed the base of his cock and stroked a couple of times as he combed his fingers through Emmy’s hair. He sat forward, gently tugged her head up, and took her mouth with carnal eroticism. By the time he released her lips they were both panting. Jett flopped back onto the pillows and yanked on his cock again.
Brooks wrapped an arm around her hips, caressed over her belly down toward her cunt. He swirled a finger around her nub and smiled when she gasped and groaned. He was the one groaning when she shoved her hips back toward his as she ground her buttocks against his erection.
“Fuck! Don’t do that, darlin’.”
&
nbsp; She went to gaze at him over her shoulder, completely forgetting that Jett was still holding her hair. “Ouch.”
“Shit! Sorry, love. Did I hurt you?”
“Not really, but if anyone’s to blame it would be myself.”
Brooks moved his fingers down through her folds and dipped the tip of one into her creamy well. She was so wet her juices trickled down his finger.
“Are you ready for me, darlin’?” he asked.
“More than.” Emmy wriggled her ass, causing him to groan as her soft skin brushed against his dick.
“I want to feel your mouth on me, love. Will you do that for me?” Jett asked.
Emmy nodded and licked her lips.
Brooks closed his eyes and counted to ten when his cock jerked with eager anticipation. He wanted nothing more than to shove himself inside of her of wet cunt until he was balls-deep, but he was going to go slow even if it killed him.
When he had some semblance of control over his lust, he grasped the base of his cock and aligned it with her entrance. Even though he heard Jett moaning and knew what was happening, Brooks couldn’t drag his eyes from her pretty, pink cunt. She was so wet honey was dribbling from her hole, and since her hips were tilted he could see how distended her clit was. The hood was already drawn back, and while he wanted to have a taste of all that delectable juice, it would have to wait for later. He shifted a little closer and squeezed his eyes shut when her wet heat kissed the tip of his throbbing cock.
After taking another steadying breath, he pressed against her entrance and pushed in. She was so fucking tight and wet, even with his guiding hand, his cock slid through her honey and slipped up.
Brooks gritted his teeth and tried again.
This time he was prepared, and the head of his dick separated her soft, warm tissues and popped in. When she whimpered he forced his passion-heavy lids up and glanced in her direction.
The sight that met his eyes had his balls firming, and the base of his spine started to tingle. Fuck! She was so fucking sexy, he could barely stand to watch.
