His Mating Mark (11 page)

Gabe couldn’t believe that Nicole was on the ground in front of him. He wanted to shift back, but his wolf was in control. His wolf wanted to be near his mate after so much time apart. Gabe inhaled deeply, smelling his mark on her body, and growled.

“Gabe, Josh, please.” She begged quietly, and he could smell the fear coming off her in waves. She had willingly come to the meeting place in the middle of the forest, and he could barely believe it. He turned and howled. The other members of their pack responded in kind and took off on their nightly run without them. He wanted to be alone with her, and he knew Josh felt the same way.

He watched as Josh laid down next to her, nuzzling her, trying to get closer to her. Using all his strength, he pushed his wolf to the back and took over power, shifting back into his skin. He leaned down and rubbed her back, trying to comfort her.

“It’s okay, baby, turn over.” He helped her to turn, and she looked up at him with big sad brown eyes. “Come here.” He held out his arms, and she climbed into his lap. He sat there naked on the ground, holding his mate, rocking her in his arms. He had so many questions, but he didn’t really want to know how or why she was here. He tightened his arms around her, and breathed in her perfect honey-jasmine scent.

Josh moved toward them and pushed his muzzle against her cheek, wanting to comfort her as well. When she moved and whimpered, Gabe turned her, putting her back against his chest. He needed her to overcome her fear of wolves. The only way a relationship would work is if she accepted them fully. “Josh, lie down.” Josh lay down in front of them, and Gabe took Nicole’s hands in his and reached out, helping her to pet his thick coat. Her muscles were tight at first, but after a couple minutes, she loosened up and started to touch Josh on her own.

“Wow, he’s softer than I thought he would be. His hair looks coarse but it’s not.” She sounded genuinely happy, and Gabe relaxed a little. He let her move off his lap and watched as she kneeled next to Josh, scratching behind his ears. Josh made small noises in his chest, and Gabe knew what he was feeling.

“Nicole, I–I’m so glad you’re here. Um, do you want to come back to our house and talk for a bit?” He didn’t want this moment to end and hoped that maybe her being here was a good sign of her wanting to talk more about the future.

“Yeah, that sounds good.” She turned her head and looked up at him, and Gabe smiled. For the first time in weeks, he felt relaxed. Having her here in his presence made him feel complete. “I really want to talk to both of you.” She bit her lip, and he nodded. He lifted her up, standing in the process. He shielded his naked body from her view as he moved, grabbing his clothes and quickly getting dressed. She stared at him with such longing that Gabe wanted to touch, taste, and take her right there, but he resisted, keeping a tight rein on his desires.

Gabe grabbed Josh’s clothes off the ground and held out his hand, waiting for Nicole to walk to him. She held on to Josh’s thick coat of hair and moved toward him. She didn’t seem to be scared any longer. She looked like Little Red Riding Hood walking with the big bad wolf. She grabbed his hand, and they walked toward his house. He was just glad that they didn’t have a huge hike ahead of them. He wanted to get her home so that they could talk and make up.

“How have you been?” he asked. He thought that having some small talk might help make the walk move faster.

“Um, honestly, I’ve missed you both.” He stopped, and she ran into him. Those words were music to his ears. Gabe turned around, leaned down, and brushed his lips against hers. She moaned and leaned into him, and Gabe took full advantage of the situation. He picked her up, holding her in his arms, and kissed her harder. Nicole threw her arms around his neck and dug her small, blunt fingernails into his scalp. The small bite of pain felt good, and he groaned, rubbing his body against hers.

They stayed like that for what seemed like hours, devouring each other until he heard Josh growl, wanting to join in the fun. He pulled his lips away from hers. “You have to shift before you can join in, Josh,” he said, taking possession of her lips as he continued to walk toward the house. He moved quickly through the trees, wanting to be at home, needing to lay Nicole down on their soft bed and make love to her.

Gabe stepped through the tree line and went to the house. He opened the front door and walked directly to the bedroom. He sat her down on the couch and threw Josh his clothes as he moved into the bedroom. He knew that they had lots to talk about, and he wanted to hear everything that Nicole had to say. He sat on the floor at her feet while Josh got dressed. He couldn’t take his eyes off her. She was so beautiful, complete perfection in his eyes.

Josh joined them. He sat in the chair across from Nicole, and they sat there waiting for her to talk. He could tell that she had lots on her mind. She nibbled on her lip, scrunching her brows together. “You bit me, th–that night. It was you.” She stared at him, looking confused, and he knew that they needed to have this conversation.

“Yes.” He took a deep breath and let it out slowly, trying to gather his thoughts. “That night we went for a run. An alert went out that one of the kids had followed us, trying to keep up. He wasn’t very good at shifting yet and got separated from the group. I went with his parents, and we tracked him down at your house. I recognized your scent right away. I tried to control my wolf, but emotions were running high, and I was scared that I might lose you. I marked you that night. My wolf marked you so that I could find you again.” A silent tear fell onto her cheek, and Gabe grabbed her hand, needing to hold onto their connection.

“Nicole, I’m so sorry. I wanted to shift right there so that I could hold you and explain things, but I was too scared. You were on the floor of your house, bleeding and crying. I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t mean to hurt you.” He looked down and hoped that she might be able to forgive him.

“He’s telling the truth. That night he ran back here and found me. He was so scared that he had ruined everything for us. He demanded that we give you space, but I couldn’t stay away. We thought that after time passed you might not be scared anymore. Each week that went by turned into months and then years, and still we were too scared to talk to you. That day in town, I followed your scent. I couldn’t help myself. I needed to be near you.” Josh moved off the chair and sat down on the couch next to her. He didn’t touch her, although the look on his face proved that he was having a difficult time keeping his hands to himself.

“I don’t know what to do. I’m so lonely without you both. I think of you all day, and I just, I miss you so much.” Gabe looked up and stared into her eyes. She looked so sad, and he wanted to change everything. He wanted to make her happy.

“We miss you, too. Letting you go, that was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. Tell me what to do to make things right between us,” he said.

“I don’t know.”

“Do you know that we care about you? Do you know that we both want you so bad that when you’re not here it’s hard to breathe? Do you know that we want forever? Do you know that we would never hurt you?” He waited for her to answer his questions, hoping that he was planting positive seeds in her mind. He wanted her to know all those things. They would love her forever if she would give them the chance.

“Yes, I know. Addison helped me a bit. She explained some stuff to me. It’s weird because now that I know the reason behind everything, I wish I wouldn’t have run away.”

“We should’ve told you everything sooner. Our only excuse is that we had hoped that we could slowly transition you into accepting the wolf part of us. We wanted to introduce you to the folks around here first, so that you could realize that we aren’t evil. I know that you probably felt a little betrayed when Addison and Harper told you, but they just didn’t realize that they were telling you our secret.” Josh moved closer to her, and their thighs touched. He smiled at her and leaned closer, inhaling the scent of their mate.

Nicole nodded. “I know.”

“I guess my question to you is, where do we go from here? Do you want to be with us?” Gabe asked, waiting for her to answer. If she didn’t want to be with them, then he was glad that they had this time to explain things to her. He would always do whatever it took to make her happy, and if that meant not being a part of their lives, then he would accept her answer.

“I want to be with you both. I don’t want to feel lonely anymore,” she whispered, and Josh grabbed her, pulling her onto his lap before dipping his head down and taking possession of her mouth. Gabe could only smile. She was their mate, and she wanted them. He would do anything and everything to make sure she stayed with them.

* * * *

Her words were barely out of her mouth when she was pulled into Josh’s arms. He ate at her mouth, and she leaned into him, pushing her tongue between his soft lips. She had never wanted anything as much as she wanted these two men in her life. She craved them, needed them, and wanted to spend her life with them. Her heart, body, and mind were in perfect harmony with her decision.

Josh rubbed his hands up and down her back, holding her close. She rubbed her chest against his, and the contact sent a shiver of pleasure rushing through her entire body. It had been too long, and she couldn’t decide what she wanted to do first. She wanted them both naked, though, and she wanted to lie in between them.

“Clothes. Off.” She panted the words out.

Nicole heard Gabe get up and saw him from her peripheral vision as he walked toward the bed. She stared at Josh, waiting for him to make a move. He picked her up and placed her on her feet. She grabbed the side of the couch to catch her balance as Josh quickly pulled his T-shirt over his head and unbuttoned his jeans, pushing them down his lean hips. She licked her lips, wanting to race for the bed.

“It looks like Gabe is ready for you,” Josh said, and Nicole jerked her head up and her eyes landed on Gabe. He sat on the bed, his back against the headboard, and he stared at her as he stroked his hard cock. She was torn between them both until Josh turned her and gave a little push toward the bed. “I’m right behind you, baby.”

Nicole pulled her long-sleeve T-shirt over her head, unclipped her bra and threw them onto the floor. She reached the side of the bed and stood there for a minute staring at his hand moving up and down his erection. She wanted to taste him. She wanted to rub her naked body against his.

“Take off your pants and climb on up here with me.” Gabe winked at her, and Nicole took her time pulling them off her legs, trying to look sexy for him, wanting to turn him on even more.

“You’re killing me here.” He groaned, and she smiled. Nicole climbed up on the bed and crawled toward Gabe. She touched his warm skin and ran her fingernails up his thigh, unsure of where to start first.

“Put your hands on the bed, I want to touch you.” She didn’t want him grabbing her and changing her progress. He moved slowly, watching her every move. Nicole climbed in between his legs, and Gabe spread wide for her, putting his cock on display. Nicole wrapped both her hands around his hard shaft and took her time touching the soft skin and exploring his cock.

She finally leaned forward and took him into her mouth, watching him, wanting to see his face. The look was priceless. He looked like he was in heaven, and she smiled, wanting to please him. She alternated between licking his balls and licking just the head of his cock. She loved the way he tasted, and she hummed her approval as his cock seemed to twitch and grow with each move she made.

She wrapped her lips around his cock, pausing a moment to taste the wonderful pre-cum that drenched her tongue. She sucked just the head for a while, making him want more, making him wish for all of her mouth. She worked her hands, rubbing his balls, squeezing just a little. She looked at his eyes and knew he wanted more. She plunged her head down all the way on him, wanting his cock in her throat, and she swallowed the best she could.

Gabe groaned deep in his throat and grabbed her head. He ran his fingers through her hair, and she knew he wanted to take control. She let him fuck her mouth. Let him have the control that he needed. She let her mouth go lax, relaxing her jaw completely, and he grabbed a handful of her hair, pulling her off his cock and then pushing her back down again. He was gentle, and she was relieved, especially since he was so big in her mouth.

She felt warm breath wash over her ass and knew that Josh was behind her before she felt his teeth sink into her. She groaned loudly and shifted her hips, silently begging for more. Josh leaned his face down against her pussy and started eating her like a starved man. He licked and sucked on her pussy lips until she was moving against him, unable to stop herself. He entered her pussy with two fingers and pumped them in and out as he licked around her clit. She moaned and then realized that it also affected Gabe, because he moaned as well.

Josh stroked his tongue deeper into her pussy alongside his fingers. She could feel her juices spilling out of her and running down her thigh. His hum of approval pushed her pleasure higher, and she groaned, fisting the sheets as she bobbed up and down on Gabe’s shaft. She was close, getting closer by the second, but she didn’t want to come yet. She wanted his cock inside her when she did.

Josh and Gabe moved together. They pulled away from her for a minute, and she stayed on her hands and knees, panting, unsure of what they had planned next.

“I want her ass this time.” Gabe’s voice was deep, and she swung her head around and watched him as he moved toward the foot of the bed. Josh moved further onto the bed and lay down in the center. She moved to him immediately, desperately needing to be filled. Her pussy felt empty. Josh had a tight hold on the base of his cock. She climbed on top of him, he held one of her hips, and he positioned his cock at her entrance and guided his dick into her. When he began to push his way inside, she held her breath, knowing that the pleasure would be incredible.

“Oh, God! Hot. Tight. Wet.” Josh pressed forward again. He pulled out and thrust forward with more power this time. He was so big and hard that he reached the back of her womb, bumping her cervix.

“Yes!” she hissed, wanting to make him go fast and hard but knowing that she also needed Gabe. Josh held her hips and shoved his cock into her hard, bringing her right back to the edge. When he stopped, she wanted to scream, but instead, she felt a large hand between her shoulder blades pushing her down. She couldn’t stop the small shudder that ran through her when Gabe drizzled cold lube down her crack.

Josh wrapped his arms around her and held her tight against his chest. “Relax for Gabe, baby, soon we’ll both be fucking you nice and deep.”

She felt Gabe rub more lube around her back hole and begin to prepare her for his fingers. She felt him start to push one finger inside her and froze, relaxing her muscles. She took slow, deep breaths and let him enter her. He fucked her with his finger slowly before adding a second one. Nicole started to move against Josh. She pushed herself back and forth between them.

Gabe pulled his fingers out and added more lube. She could feel the head of his massive cock pushed against her ass and clenched her cheeks in anticipation. “We’ll take this nice and slow, baby. I want you to push out while I push in.” She nodded and concentrated on relaxing her body. He pushed in on a steady thrust, moving past the tight muscles. He stopped periodically, giving her body time to adjust.

“I’m almost inside you.” Gabe pushed once more, and she felt too full with both Gabe and Josh inside her. He held her hips tightly and leaned against her back letting her get used to having them both inside her once again.

Gabe slowly pulled out, and Josh lifted her when he moved further inside her pussy. When Josh pulled out, Gabe was able to thrust in deep. They slowly fucked her, alternating in and out until she was thrashing around, needing more. They seemed to know what she craved and pumped faster, shoving their cocks into her body harder. She whimpered as nerve endings came alive and she felt her climax building higher and higher. Josh’s cock moved over her G-spot with every deep thrust. She felt her body tighten around them and couldn’t stop herself from screaming as she came. Her heart pounded rapidly in her chest, and she could barely catch her breath.

She felt hot cum shoot through her body, and both men howled loudly. They leaned into her, and she felt their mouths on her shoulders. Sharp teeth punctured her skin, and she closed her eyes, unable to move as mini orgasms ran through her body. Then she felt and knew nothing.

“Mine.” Sam growled, licking her shoulder and nuzzling the back of her neck.

“Mine, too.” Andrew whispered, brushing his lips against hers. He held her tight against his chest and Selena closed her eyes.

“Yours,”
she whispered in her mind.
