His Mating Mark (5 page)

* * * *

Nicole felt possessed by some unknown being. She wasn’t in control of her body. She craved, needed, and was addicted to what Gabe and Josh had to offer. She had just come apart in Gabe’s massive arms and wanted so much more. He had pleasured her on his lap while they drove to his house, and she didn’t feel one ounce of embarrassment.

A small voice in her head told her to take a step back, to walk away from them, but she couldn’t. Her hormones were telling her to stay, to take what they offered. She didn’t have control any longer. They took ownership of her body, and she let go. Gabe handed her to Josh, and she immediately wrapped her body around his. She rubbed her naked breasts against his chest, whimpering as he walked, her sensitive clit rubbing against his rock-hard abs. She felt another climax building as she bounced against him.

She felt her back touch the cool sheets and stretched out. She moaned and wiggled on the bed, wanting to beg them to take her. She couldn’t seem to think or breathe, her whole body centered on the pleasure it craved. Her vision was fuzzy, and she had no idea what was happening to her body. “Oh, God,” she said, feeling her insides clench. Strong hands grabbed her, removing her clothes, and she tossed and turned on the bed. “I need,” she panted.

“It’s okay, baby, we’re going to take care of you.” She could hear Josh’s voice, but it seemed far away. He sounded confused. Did he not believe that she wanted them? That she needed them both more than she wanted to draw air into her lungs? She reached out her hands, and a strong body came down on top of her. She exhaled, loving the feeling of hot skin against hers. She spread her thighs wide and heard a deep growl, recognizing Gabe immediately.

He ate at her, nibbling, tugging, and sucking on her lips until they parted. He took possession of her mouth, and she submitted, her body relaxing, molding to his. His flavor amazed her. He was dark and rich like coffee and as addictive as caffeine. Her eyes rolled back in her head. She had never been so aroused in her life.

She felt the head of his cock at her opening, and she spread her legs wider. He slid into her pussy, and she panted loudly. He was huge. She was shocked at just how big he was. He filled her, stretching her, and Nicole loved the small amount of pain, making her pussy stretch to fit him.

Nicole closed her eyes and focused on his cock buried deep inside her. He dominated her body, thrusting deeper and moving faster. Gabe grabbed her hair, forcing her to look at him, and Nicole loved the way his eyes darkened and sparked with desperate need. He looked sexy, possessed, and she arched her back, shoving her breasts against his chest.

“Fuck, she’s so tight. Damn it, I’m not going to last,” Gabe said, and she wanted to cry. She wasn’t ready for this to end. She needed his cock to stay inside her.

“No. No. No. Don’t stop!”

Gabe picked up his pace, fucking her harder. His cock rubbing on a spot deep inside her that made her toes curl. She was getting close, knew that this climax would rock her. She could feel every inch of silk-covered steel gliding home. “I’m gonna come!” Gabe pulled out of her and stepped off the bed, breathing heavily. She didn’t have time to miss him, Josh took over. He grabbed her, turning her onto her hands and knees, and pushed in on one smooth stroke.

He grabbed her hips and fucked her deep and hard, not giving her time to relax. He leaned against her back, reached around her and squeezed her nipples and clit hard, until the pain turned into a pleasure she knew she wouldn’t be able to live without. She submitted to him, laying her head on the bed, and grabbed the sheets, holding tight while he rode her.

Her body spasmed, and she was on the edge once more, ready to fall off the cliff. “Oh, Josh, don’t you dare stop fucking me!” She demanded.

“I know, baby, I can feel it. Come for me. I want to feel you come on my cock.” His cock felt huge as her pussy clamped down tight. He held her and easily manipulated her clit, forcing her to rush faster toward her climax. She couldn’t get enough air into her lungs.

Nicole cried out as her climax took hold. “I’m gonna come.” She tried to hold back, but she couldn’t. She felt Josh grab a hold of her, holding her in place by her shoulder. His teeth were sharp, and she shivered, loving the way he took control and dominated her. He continued to pound inside her, filling her sensitive pussy, spearing deeper, and her orgasm rushed through her body, making her entire body stiffen and shake.

“Oh, God, fuck, baby,” Josh roared, his cock expanding inside her, and she knew that he had found his release. She fell onto the bed, unable to move, and Josh came down on top of her. She could feel his cock pulsing inside her, making her pussy quiver. Small climaxes rocked her body, overwhelming her senses, and Nicole shut her eyes. Her last thought was of Gabe and Josh. They had both completely rocked her world, and she wondered if she would ever be the same again.

Josh was shaking, and his cock expanded, locking him inside Nicole’s body. Her pussy flexed around his cock, and he was having a hard time catching his breath. He looked down and stared at the side of Nicole’s face. Her eyes were closed, and her breathing had changed, letting him know that she was sleeping. He was relieved that she had passed out since his cock was still full and embedded deep inside her. He pulled back a little, laying his head on her shoulder as his world spun.

His cock was locked inside her body, a common thing especially among mates. He wouldn’t be able to move until the swelling went down, otherwise he could hurt her. He felt the bed move and looked up, catching a smile spread across Gabe’s face. He looked calm, more relaxed than Josh could remember. He knew that it was all because of Nicole, because she was in their bed. He still was having a hard time understanding what had happened. One moment she was aroused, the next nervous, and then she was demanding they satisfy her.

“Wow. She was wild. I wasn’t expecting that,” Gabe whispered quietly, and Josh just shook his head.

“I know. I have no idea what happened. She didn’t seem like herself.” He leaned over and inhaled her, loving her natural smell mixed with their unique scents. He could smell himself all over her body, and the beast within relaxed happily. He was still having trouble making sense of things, though. He had expected a longer courtship. He wanted to show her how gentle they could be in wolf form before mating her. He had expected more resistance. This sex goddess had taken him by surprise and had pleased them both.

“I tried to hold myself back, but being in the truck and smelling her arousal sent me over the edge. I was shaking when I grabbed her and kissed her. I actually expected a hard smack across my face.” Gabe’s voice was full of awe, and Josh wondered if she had a strong reaction because of their hormones bouncing around the closed truck cab. Did her body recognize them as mates? Could she scent their need the way they could scent hers?

He could feel the swelling in his cock go down and slowly pulled out of her body. She moaned, and Josh crawled off the bed, not wanting to wake her up. He watched as Gabe laid a blanket over her naked body, tucking it around her. She took a deep breath but didn’t move, and Josh missed her. He missed holding her and being connected to her.

“Come on, let’s go downstairs and talk.” Gabe walked by him and headed downstairs. Josh stood there for a few more minutes, slowly getting dressed while watching Nicole sleep. He had a hard time turning away, but he forced himself to leave the room. He walked down the stairs, heading for the kitchen, knowing that Gabe would be waiting to talk.

“Coffee?” Gabe looked up from pouring himself a cup, and Josh nodded. He took a seat at the large kitchen table, but his mind kept straying to Nicole, thinking about her response to them.

“Are you okay?” Gabe set a hot cup of coffee in front of him, and Josh picked it up. He blew lightly across the top and took a slow sip, enjoying the warmth that spread through him.

“Yeah. I’m just wondering about Nicole. I thought we would shower, take her on a nice picnic, and get to know her better. I wanted to talk about wolves a little. I had a whole speech planned to help her confront her fears. I really wasn’t expecting her to be so needy, to beg for us both.” He shook his head. “She clawed the sheets. I’ve never seen a woman react that way, but then again, I’ve never been with my mate until today.”

They sat quietly at the table, watching the sun disappear. The sky became darker as big, black clouds rolled in. Josh knew that a storm was coming, had scented it earlier. He drank his coffee, thinking about Nicole and wondering if they should let her sleep. He didn’t want to wake her up and take her home. He was relieved that she was finally home with them where she belonged.

“I finally recognized the scent from Nicole’s. Do you remember that man from ten years ago?” Gabe stared at him, and Josh swallowed hard. They never talked about that horror story. They tried to help Harper forget. Nobody mentioned anything. The poor girl.

“It can’t be him. He’s dead. I know that for a fact. I helped you bury him.” He hated even thinking about Harper and what had happened. She had been young, and a sick man had been obsessed. He closed his eyes, trying to block the look of pain on her face. He was just so glad that she had come to them so that they could take care of the situation.

“I know he’s dead, but it still smelled like him. I’m so glad that Nicole’s here. That’s why I suggested the picnic. I wanted to get her away from her house.” He stared out the window and Jake wanted to run upstairs and see Nicole.

“We’ll keep a watch and we’ll alert the pack and let them know that there is a stranger in town. I doubt he’ll stay long though. Outsiders like him aren’t welcome here.” He watched as Gabe stood up and walked around the kitchen, closing the windows and locking the front door.

“Are you going out tonight?” he asked.

“No. I’m going to turn in early tonight. I’m feeling tired. You?” Gabe leaned against the wall, staring up at the stairs. Was he hoping that Nicole would wake up and come downstairs or was he praying that she was still sleeping?

“I’m going to eat something and then I’m planning on climbing into bed with our mate.” Josh smiled and went over to the fridge. He pulled out lunch meat, bread, lettuce, mayo, and mustard. He was in the mood for a quick bite, and then he wanted to get in bed with Nicole and hold her close while it rained. He loved the rain. It brought peace, and the air smelled better. It was Mother Nature’s way of making everything fresh and clean again. Humming quietly, he made a few sandwiches, knowing that Gabe would want one, too.

He inhaled his sandwich, counting down the minutes until he could be back in bed with Nicole. The rain started coming down, and he smiled, knowing that this was their new beginning. Josh left the plate on the counter and watched as Gabe ate. He winked and walked back up the stairs, wanting to be near her. Those few minutes he was away felt like a lifetime. Stepping into the bedroom, he noticed that Nicole was still asleep on her side facing him, looking peaceful and innocent. Stripping off his clothes, he climbed into bed slowly, pulling her into his arms.

Her warm breath fanned out over his skin as he got comfortable. He moved her head so that she was using his chest as a pillow and wrapped his arms around her slim body. He heard footsteps and knew that Gabe wanted to hold her as well. She already owned them, and he hoped that one day she would love them.

Feeling the bed dip as Gabe climbed in on the other side of her, Josh smiled. He had been waiting for this day to come. The day that he could claim his mate and hold her in his arms. He felt complete. For the first time in his life, everything felt right.

* * * *

Nicole was warm. Her entire body felt relaxed and comfortable. She couldn’t figure out what had awoken her, but she refused to open her eyes. She took a deep breath, trying to fall back to sleep. She heard a howl and knew instantly that the wolf was back. Her heart pounded loudly, and she froze for a minute, wondering if she had locked up the house.

Her whole body stiffened, and she knew immediately that she had forgotten. Jumping up, she threw the covers off her body. She began moving around, scrambling to get out of bed. Someone grabbed her, and Nicole screamed, trying to pull away, trying to get out of her bed.

“Shhh, it’s okay. Nicole, I’ve got you.” Gabe’s voice stopped her. Wrapping his body around hers, he created a cocoon of warmth and protection. Her heart beat frantically in her chest as her mind began to clear. She wasn’t home. She had been sleeping in between Gabe and Josh.

“Did you have a bad dream?” Josh whispered, and she shook her head, leaning against Gabe, letting him hold her weight. “What happened?”

“I heard the wolves, and I realized that I didn’t lock the doors or close the windows.” She felt Gabe stiffen. She rubbed her arms, trying to keep herself warm, and touched the mark on her arm. She covered it with her hand, trying to hide it from them. How had she lost control enough not to care about her scar? How was she sitting in their bed naked? Bits and pieces from the day before played through her mind, and Nicole tried to block them. She wasn’t ready to face what happened.

The rain pounded hard against the window, and she could still hear a few wolves howling in the distance. A small part of her was glad that she wasn’t at home alone, especially during a heavy rainstorm. She wouldn’t have gotten any sleep. “What do you think they’re saying?” She had always wondered why the wolves haunted her.

“They’re happy to be outside running through the forest, hunting with their friends and maybe wondering where their other pack mates are,” Gabe said, and she believed him. His voice was calm and soothing, and his answer made her smile.

“Why are you scared of them?” Josh asked her, and Gabe cleared his throat loudly.

She felt a little self-conscious. She didn’t want to show them the scar on her arm, but she was naked in their bed. They probably had already seen it. “It’s my arm. I was trying to help a kid one night, and a huge wolf bit me.” Not wanting them to think she was crazy, she skipped the werewolf story. She wouldn’t share that story, afraid that the wolf might come back for her.

Backing off a little, Gabe picked up her arm, holding it next to his face. Rubbing the mark against his cheek, she heard a low growl. “The wolves would never hurt you, not intentionally. I’m sorry.” His eyes looked so sad, and she leaned into him, kissing his chest. Lying back down, Nicole went with him. She put her head on his chest, and he wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly.

“It’s okay. It’s not your fault.” She was glad that she had Gabe and Josh. She had always wanted to tell someone about that night.

“Yeah, um, I’m still sorry.” He did sound sorry, and she yawned, ready to go back to sleep. “It’s okay, go to sleep. I’m holding you, nothing will happen.”

She smiled. He would protect her. She felt the bed move, and then a large hand settled on her hip as Josh’s warm chest touched her back. She moved around a little and closed her eyes. She was safe.
