She raised her hand, skimming her fingers along his jaw as she admired the simple beauty of him. “Is it always like that?”
A hint of a smile curved one side of his mouth as he stared back at her. “Like what?”
“Awe-inspiring?”
The smile flourished. “If we do it right.”
“Not sure there’s a wrong way for you to do what you just did to me. I’ve never…” She looked away, misty images flickering inside her head.
Ethan tsked, wrapping his arms around her as he nipped at her neck. “Stay here with us, sweetheart. No past, just the present. The future we have together. You’re safe. Will be until the day we die.”
She glanced at him, opening for his kiss before allowing her head to fall against his chest. “Is the rest like that? Empowering?”
“If you’re not too exhausted, we’d like to show you.”
She nodded, afraid her voice would morph into a raspy moan at the thought of taking their thick shafts inside her. Though she’d claimed she wasn’t afraid of making love to them, a part of her had worried that the ugly memories would taint her experience. That Bret and Frank had destroyed any opportunity she’d have at love. But as Jude shuffled over on the bed, offering his hand as he reclined on the mattress, she knew she’d found her one chance at happiness. A place where even the nightmares couldn’t touch her.
Ethan helped her onto her knees, and she crawled over to Jude, threading her fingers with his as she straddled his thighs, staring at his cock as it pulsed against his stomach. She glanced at his face, raising a brow in question. Jude tsked but smiled as she trailed her free hand up his thigh, brushing it the length of his shaft. The skin was soft, a distinct contrast to the hard feel beneath it.
Jude hissed. “Darlin’. We’ve been over this. You touch me like that, and I’ll finish before I ever get inside you.”
“And can you only climax once in a night?”
Ethan laughed. “Partner. The lady’s challenging you.”
“It’s not a challenge. I just want the same opportunity to touch and taste you boys. It’s only fair.”
Ethan moved in behind her, cupping her waist. “Nothing’s fair about love. And we already told you. Next time.” He shushed her with a firm kiss. “We’re too close—our wolves too invested in the act to afford you the opportunity you want. Once they’re sated…”
McKenna huffed then noticed the red tinge to his eyes. She looked at Jude, a similar flash of color confirming Ethan’s claim. “Fine. But unless you both want to wake up tied to the bed, I suggest you get over this dominating attitude. You’re not the only ones feeling raw.”
Jude clenched his jaw, a visible shiver working through him. “Do you have any idea how damn desperate we get when you talk like that? I suggest you climb on now, before I pin you to Ethan after all.”
The mental vision sent a punch of heat to her core, and she fisted Jude’s shaft, running her hand from base to tip then back again. The man hissed out his breath, his fingers flexing against her thighs as he palmed each leg, his arms shaking from the strain.
He stared at her, the smile he flashed exposing the tips of his canines as they lengthened inside his mouth. “McKenna.”
The gravely rasp of her name sent another wave of shivers coursing through her. She didn’t resist when Ethan lifted her from behind, scooting her forward until Jude’s cock settled between her legs, the head nudging her sex.
Ethan’s mouth caressed her earlobe, his tongue licking her skin. “Brace your hands on his shoulders, sweetheart. You’ll have control…for now.”
She reached for Jude, humming at the way his muscles bunched beneath her hands. The man was firm and strong, and just touching him made her feel safe. Cherished. His fingers massaged her thighs as she hovered above him, not sure what to do next when he arched his hips slightly, pressing his cock an inch inside her.
Her head lolled back, colliding with Ethan’s shoulder as heat spiraled outwards from her core, stealing what little breath she had. God, the man felt massive, and she momentarily questioned if she’d be able to take either of them inside her. Then he thrust upwards again, somehow sliding deeper within her, and she knew she was lost.
“God. Jude. So much. I don’t know if I can…”
Her voice trailed off as her head warred with wanting to slam down on top of him, burying him completely inside her, and wanting to lift up, stopping the bombardment of sensations that felt as if they were smothering her.
“Easy, sweetheart.” Ethan tightened his hold on her waist, his body pressed firmly against her. “Just go slow. We don’t have to rush. All you have to do is breathe, and let me help you.
She concentrated on the tone of his voice, the way his thumbs brushed across her skin as he moved with her, easing her up then gently lowering her, pressing more of Jude’s cock inside her. She exhaled, the simple action sinking him deeper until his groin hit hers, his shaft fully seated.
She panted out her breath, the sensation of being completely filled a strange mixture of pleasure and apprehension. She squeezed her eyes shut, unsure if she could handle more, when Jude’s hand brushed across her cheek. She forced herself to look at him, the obvious need in his eyes pushing the uncertainty away, leaving only scorching desire in its wake.
He grunted when she contracted her muscles around him. “You feel so good, darlin’. Damn, I’m dying here. Ride me. Let me watch you give yourself to me. To us.”
The strained tone of his voice humbled her. He was holding back. Doing everything he could to allow her to control their mating. Putting her needs first, and she knew she’d do whatever she could to hear him shout her name as he gave himself over to her.
She glanced at Ethan, smiling when he helped ease her up, drawing Jude’s cock slowly through her channel. Her pussy contracted around him, quivering as it tried to hold him inside only to spasm as she sank down, slapping his sac against her ass. The hard penetration sent a jolt of pleasure shooting through her body, and she arched her back as the sensation rippled along her skin.
She leaned against Ethan, need coiling low in her belly as she repeated the movement, her body clenching around Jude’s shaft as it filled her again, his fingers digging into her thighs as he groaned her name. She looked at his face, noting the tight press of his mouth, the firm line of his jaw. He was strung tight—but so was she.
She palmed his cheek, crying out when Ethan lifted and lowered her in the space of a heartbeat, thrusting Jude inside her in one quick stroke. The hard penetration set off a chain reaction, and she knew she wouldn’t be able to breathe until he’d claimed her like that again.
“More. Please, Jude, I need…”
She didn’t know what to say, the words feeling too heavy on her tongue as her teeth ached within her mouth. Her skin felt tight, as if it didn’t fit, a strange growling sound ringing through her head. Jude’s hand cupped her jaw, forcing her to glance at him.
His brow furrowed for a moment, his thumb brushing along the bridge of her nose as he gave her a stunning smile. “Easy. We’ve got you. Just lean against Ethan, and I’ll give you what your wolf needs, my pretty little mate.”
Her wolf
?
She opened her mouth to question him when Ethan lifted her up, holding her still as Jude withdrew below her, keeping only the tip of his cock lodged inside her as his hands twitched against her thighs. Her gaze clashed with his for a moment before he pushed up, taking her sheath in a firm thrust. Pleasure cascaded through her body, consuming every inch as the firm penetration soothed something raw inside her. Another growl echoed in her head, the contented sound of it pulling her under.
Ethan’s arms wrapped around her, the feel of his muscles flexing against her back connecting her in a way she hadn’t realized she needed. Craved. She curled one arm around his torso, holding him tight as the other clenched Jude’s shoulder, anchoring her to both men. Twin heartbeats thrummed in her mind, and for just a moment, a tinge of red colored her vision.
Ethan’s mouth feathered across her neck, his teeth lightly scraping her skin. “Breathe, sweetheart. We’re here. We’ll give you what you need, but you have to pull back a bit. Just focus on Jude. On what you do to him. How much he needs you, too.”
Jude moved beneath her, claiming her sex then retreating, the steady rhythm bringing the room back into focus. She angled her hips, easing his way, taking him deeper as he pounded into her, her entire body shimmying with every stroke. Fire laced along her skin, further coiling the tight feeling inside her until it threatened to snap. The overwhelming sensation she’d experienced earlier when he’d made her climax swirled around her, her impending release tensing her muscles.
She thrashed her head across Ethan’s shoulder, her nails digging into their skin as she fought against the searing pleasure tearing through her. Their bodies seemed to merge with hers until all she could feel was the hard planes of their muscles, the strong beat of their hearts.
Jude grunted, tipping his head back as the tips of his canines poked out from beneath his upper lip. “Can’t hold off much longer. Come for me, McKenna. Give us both what we need.”
Ethan lowered one hand, smoothing it across her groin until he reached her mound. His fingers slid between her folds, the pads grazing her clit before pinching it. The extra stimulation pushed her over, her body bowing backwards as fire erupted in her core, spreading outwards in an ever-increasing wave. Jude growled her name, levering up, knocking her hard against Ethan as he pinned her between them. His cock pulsed inside her channel as he scraped his teeth across her shoulder, finding the spot he’d marked that first night. His mouth locked onto the taut muscle, his canines piercing her flesh as he climaxed inside her, the dual sensation stealing her breath. Her head fell forward, connecting with Jude’s shoulder. Instinct took over and she latched onto his flesh, mimicking his bite. Blood teased her senses, Jude’s harsh growl echoing through her head. He pulled back, concern etched across his brow as he gently eased her mouth off his shoulder, his thumb brushing along the seam of her lips.
A knowing smile lit up his face. “Well, I’ll be damned.”
His words bounced around in her mind as he rested his forehead on hers, one hand wrapped in her hair. McKenna forced in a few quick breaths, collapsing against Ethan when Jude loosened his grip.
“So beautiful. God, when you come…” Ethan dropped kisses along her neck, his breath cool against her heated skin. “Breathe, McKenna. Nice and slow, sweetheart.”
She took a few shuddering breaths, limbs limp at her sides, body completely spent. Jude whispered his love as he moved back, gently slipping free from her clasp.
“No. No, not yet.” She reached for him, her emotions too raw to be without the feel of his body against hers.
Ethan gathered her close, positioning her on his lap as his hands caressed her skin. “I’ve got you. Not lettin’ go.”
She curled into him, needing his heat, his touch. Something clawed at her skin, threatening to break loose as the scent of their combined release permeated the air. She breathed it in, the distinctly male essence calming her slightly. Ethan spun her around, and she opened her eyes as he lowered her to the bed, his body obscuring the room as he loomed over her, tanned skin gleaming with sweat in the muted light.
She reached up, wrapping her arms around his neck, pulling him down on top of her. Heat sizzled along her flesh, his weight grounding her. She claimed his mouth, the kiss desperate. Raw. He responded in kind, taking control when she thought he’d pull back. Her lungs burned when he finally released her, his lips brushing along the other side of her neck. She tilted her head, waiting for the moment when his teeth broke her skin, but he only scraped them across the surface, leaving a tingling sensation in his wake.
“Please. Ethan. I need…”
He raised his head, his eyes flashing red as he watched her. “Soon.”
“Can’t wait. Now…” The word slurred into a low growl, the sound catching her off-guard. She blinked at the red hazy clouding her vision, trying to say Ethan’s name, another growl taking its place. She clenched her teeth together, a single coherent thought forming on her tongue. “Mine. Both…”
She shook her head. God what the hell was wrong with her? Jude appeared at her side, his hand threading through her hair as he turned her to look at him.
He moved in close, his mouth grazing over hers. “I know it’s hard, darlin’, but try and pull it back. We’re here. Not going anywhere. Ethan’ll give you all your wolf needs and more, just breathe through it.”
Why did he keep talking about her wolf? She wasn’t a shifter.
She furrowed her brow, wondering if he’d spent too much time running in the hot sun, when Ethan’
s cock nudged her sex. All worries faded into the slow press of his shaft inside her, his guttural moan soothing some of the tension straining her muscles. Jude held her gaze, whispering how beautiful she was, how much they needed her. Loved her. The scratching feeling beneath her skin retreated, her lungs finally drawing a deep breath.
Ethan slipped his arms under her shoulders, lowering until his chest touched hers as Jude eased back just enough to give the other man room. McKenna shifted her focus to Ethan, her breath catching at the raw emotions mirrored in his eyes.
A loving smile graced his lips as he nuzzled his nose with hers.
“That’s our girl. Better?”
She nodded, the tight feeling resurfacing a bit. “What…”
“Shhh, don’t think about anything but us. About how tightly you hold me inside you. How Jude can’t wait to love you again. How hard you’re going to come. And you will…come for me.”
He started moving, the steady rhythm igniting the need she’d thought had been sated. The coil in her belly began tightening again, the telltale punch of heat warning her she was already close to finishing. The veins in Ethan’s neck corded as his pace increased, his rough breath feathering across her cheek. He glanced down at her, eyes hued red, canines puffing his upper lip. She felt an answering call inside her, the muscles in her back and shoulders bunching in response. She writhed within his arms, fighting the tingling sensation beneath her skin when Ethan scratched her collarbone with his teeth.
