Jackson held her head gently, both hands gripping her and sinking into the softness of her hair as he guided her toward him, carefully lifting his hips to thrust shallowly into the heaven that was her mouth. She leaned forward to take all of his length inside her mouth, wanting to give him mind-numbing pleasure. His groan of approval made her smile at her success. She loved making him lose control. And that’s exactly what was happening.
She could feel the strength of his body as he pumped up into her mouth, keeping her head still as he reached up to plunge in deep over and over again. She wanted him to lose himself to the ecstasy of the moment. She wanted him to shout out as he found his completion. She wanted to drink down every drop of his seed. She needed the intensity of the way she felt about him to be the way he felt about her. Her heart pounded, and she could feel the moisture dripping down the inside of her legs as her desire for him filled her to overflowing.
Suddenly, Jackson sat up, dislodging himself from her mouth and reaching down to grab her under her arms to pull her up until her face was directly in front of his. His eyes were glowing golden, and his teeth had elongated.
“I need to be inside of you. Now.”
His voice was hoarse with desire. He pulled the negligee from her body and threw it to the floor, a moan escaping him as he felt her breasts against his chest. Turning his body, he flipped her as if she weighed no more than a piece of paper, until she was settled below him and his hips found their place in the cradle of her pelvis. Laurie couldn’t prevent the sigh that escaped her as his body settled so comfortably and intimately against hers. She could feel the head of his cock nudging her waiting channel, and she opened her legs wider to accommodate him.
“Are you wet for me, baby?” he whispered, leaning back to look down at her as he spread her already swollen folds gently, growling when he saw the glistening proof of her arousal. Running his finger through the warm wetness that awaited him, he smiled at the whimper that left her as he pushed one finger inside her gently, quickly adding another as he felt her open to him, and tenderly stroked in and out of her. “So wet,” he whispered. “So ready for me.”
Taking his fingers from her body, he brought them to his mouth and carefully sucked her juices from them. Laurie watched him in silence, her pupils dilating with arousal at the erotic scene before her. Reaching down, she took firm hold of his cock and guided him to her already overflowing pussy, pushing him inside her, then reached out to grab his hips and pull him closer until he sank deep within her. A moan of approval escaped her as he took over and pushed home the final inches. She could feel him touching a place inside her that made her shiver with a spike of desire and need. His length and thickness filled her to capacity, and she would be very happy to have him stay exactly where he was for the rest of their lives.
Jackson smiled as he leaned forward to take her lips gently with his. He could feel her desire, and her thoughts were echoing in his head. He was careful not to let her hear his own teasing thoughts that he couldn’t stay where he was or their baby wouldn’t be able to be born. Closing his eyes, he smiled against her neck. Would she laugh with him or scold him for being fresh? Either would make him immensely happy. He looked forward to every intimate moment of their mating. Love poured through him at the thought of this beautiful woman filled with their baby. Although he was careful to withhold that bit of information from her, he allowed his love for her to bathe her in a rush of white light.
“I love you so much, Jackson,” she whispered against his neck.
He leaned back and smiled down at her, his eyes glowing, his wolf at the forefront. “I love you more than my life, Laurie,” he told her honestly, kissing her gently before pushing himself up on his arms and rocking his hips forward and back as he made gentle love to her.
He watched her as tears filled her eyes, and she smiled at him with such tenderness that his heart ached. The love and caring that poured from her into him filled him beyond capacity, and he found himself unable to contain the happiness that burst from him. He could feel their bond enveloping them, and they reached out to Jace to encompass him within their love. Feeling Jace’s instant response of happiness made them look at each other and smile.
“I think Jace will be up here pretty soon to share our love,” Jackson told her, smiling down at the most beautiful woman in the world. Their mate.
Laurie could only smile, feeling the emotions that both men surrounded her with. For the first time in her life she actually believed that she was totally and unconditionally loved by two men that she absolutely felt the same way about.
A moan escaped her, and pleasure surged through her as Jackson increased his plunges in tempo and strength. With each deep plunge she could feel her climax building.
“Harder, Jackson,” she pleaded, reaching down and taking hold of his ass cheeks to pull him roughly toward her.
Jackson’s hips snapped with more force, pounding against her, and his growls became more feral as she drew out the beast in him. His wolf was doing a mating dance in his head, and he couldn’t stop him from taking over and completing the frenzied mating that he needed. Laurie’s gasps of pleasure spurred him on.
Leaning back, he pulled her up onto his thighs and plunged into her over and over again, hitting her clit with every push deep into her body. She was moaning continuously, and he knew it wouldn’t be long before they both soared. Leaning toward her, he clamped his mouth onto her shoulder and bit down hard, reinstating his claim on their mate as his hips slammed into her.
Laurie screamed as her orgasm exploded through her, reaching down to hold Jackson’s hips against her as she felt his mating knot swell and take hold as his seed emptied deep inside her. He howled against her shoulder as spurt after spurt of his essence filled her and her sweet blood filled him.
He lay against her, supporting some of his weight on his arms as their bodies fought to calm down. Licking her shoulder to close the mating mark, he kissed it softly before pulling up to look down at her. She had her eyes closed, and there was a smile on her face.
“I didn’t hurt you, did I, baby?” he asked her worriedly.
He watched as she slowly opened her eyes and saw the tenderness and love that shined back at him. The internal muscles of her body clenched, and he moaned as she milked one last spurt of seed from him. She smiled at his reaction and pulled his hips closer against hers, wanting him as close to her as possible.
“You could never hurt me, Jackson,” she whispered softly, leaning up to kiss his neck, biting down on it ever so slightly. At his growl of approval she moved to his shoulder and bit down a little harder. “Do I need to mark you and Jace the way you’ve marked me?” she asked suddenly.
He leaned back and looked down at her, smiling. “No, baby,” he told her, laughing quietly. “Unless you want to.” He winked down at her and couldn’t stop smiling at the serious expression on her face. “What are you thinking so hard about, honey?”
“I just want to make sure that everyone knows who you two belong to,” she told him, unable to keep the jealousy from her voice.
Jackson smiled and leaned down to kiss her softly, tracing her lips with his tongue before pulling back and reaching up to gently touch her face. “You don’t have to worry about that, baby,” he told her honestly. “Wolves mate for life, and you’re it for us. Your scent is all over us as ours are all over you. No one will ever question that we belong to each other.”
Laurie seemed to think about it for a moment, then nodded and smiled up at him. “Okay, that’s good,” she said finally. “I want you both to belong to me, and no one better ever try to take you from me.”
She moaned as he gently pulled from her body, kissing her slowly, smiling at her words. Leaving her briefly to go into the bathroom to clean up, he came back with a warm washcloth. He couldn’t prevent the smile that covered his face as he saw her laid out before him, gloriously naked and seriously loved. She looked sexy and rumpled after their lovemaking, and he carefully crawled onto the bed to settle himself between her legs. Pushing them apart gently, he reached down to carefully wipe the seed that was escaping her, reveling in the fact that she lay pliant beneath him, willing to accept his ministrations and intimate touch.
Throwing the wet cloth onto the side table, he lay down beside her and gathered her into his arms to pull her against him until her head was settled on his shoulder and her arm lay across his chest, holding him gently. He pulled the sheet over them both, saying a quick prayer of thanks to the Fates for giving them this wonderful woman.
The door to their room opened slowly, and they both looked up to find Jace looking at them with a smile on his face. He closed the door behind him and locked it. Walking toward them, he began unbuttoning his shirt and pulled it from his body.
“Hi, Jace,” Laurie whispered tiredly against Jackson’s chest.
“Hey, baby,” he answered, reaching down to unbuckle his belt and unzip his pants.
“Come to bed,” she barely managed to get out before closing her eyes and settling against Jackson for some much needed rest.
Jace chuckled and kicked off his boots, his pants quickly following. He walked around the opposite side of the bed and eased back the covers, climbing in beside Laurie and spooning against her back. A great sigh of contentment escaped him as his naked body made contact with hers. Leaning forward, he gently kissed her shoulder and smiled when she reached out to take his hand and bring it to her chest to snuggle him against her as close as she could.
“Tired, baby?” he whispered against her temple.
“Mmmmm,” she hummed against Jackson’s chest. “Just give me a few minutes, and then I need you to help me with something.”
Jace looked across her and smiled at Jackson. “What do you need help with, Laurie?” he asked her, laughing.
“Nikki bought me a butt plug that I need you and Jackson to help me put in,” she whispered, snuggling tighter against them both and promptly falling asleep.
Both men looked at each other in shock before decidedly wicked expressions crossed their faces.

Laurie stirred her cup of cinnamon apple tea, breathing in the delicious scent before carefully sipping the hot concoction. She smiled at Martha as she fussed over Mia, Dean, and Mitchell, pouring them sweet tea to go with their sandwiches as they sat eating at the large kitchen table. She felt a sense of peace envelope her as she saw how happy her children were. They were comfortable and enjoying themselves as they teased the older woman, commenting on her tendency to worry too much.
“You sound just like my mother.” Mia laughed, pushing aside Martha’s worry that they were going to go into town to see a movie together without the men that were their constant bodyguards.
“Hey!” Laurie called to them, offended, as she headed toward the group.
“Mom, you know you worry too much,” Dean spoke up, his voice calm as he tended to be when he pointed out the obvious.
“It’s my job to worry,” Laurie protested, holding her mug against her chest as her emotions threatened to spill forward.
“Mine, too,” Martha interrupted, coming to stand next to Laurie and crossing her arms across her chest. “We have reason to worry. You three should not be away from the pack without Alexander and Butler with you to be sure you’re safe.”
“I think Aunt Nikki would prefer those two guys stay here with her, even if she won’t admit it,” Mia spoke up, her intuition spot on.
“Then we can have Lucian and Cole go with you,” Martha spoke up.
Mia blushed lightly at the mention of the two men who seemed to always be on her mind and who always seemed to be around her. But she wasn’t about to give in. She sat up straighter in her chair, her back straightening as she lost her temper. “We don’t need babysitters.”
“Little one,” Martha told her quietly, stepping forward to touch Mia’s shoulder lightly. “You and Dean have to understand that you are now the children of Jace and Jackson. Mitchell, you’re also under their protection. You’re as good as their son whether you want to admit it or not. You three are open to danger from other packs who know that they can destroy our alpha and beta by harming you.”
