Claiming Her Mates: Book One

by Dia Cole

  “I volunteer to help her,” Liam declared, marching to the door.

  Mason growled. “I don’t think so.” He darted in front of Liam.

  Liam swung his arm and sent Mason flying into a mahogany dresser. Then he reached for the bathroom doorknob.

  No. She’s mine. Teeth bared in aggression, I raced across the bedroom and grabbed Liam’s arm. Wrenching the limb behind his back, I threw him face-first into the door.

  The giant threw his head back slamming me in the forehead. “You want her for yourself, brother?”

  Yes. “No.” What am I doing? Shaking off the stars dancing in my line of vision. I released Liam. As I backed away from the giant, I glimpsed all three of us in the mirror hanging on the wall. With our eyes glowing and lips peeled back from our teeth, each of us looked ready to tear the others apart for the chance to mate with the female. Shit. It’ll get bloody unless…she chooses. Female’s choice was the status quo in Winterhaven and it should be in our new faction too. “Havana will have to choose between us.”

  Liam winced, likely thinking of all the times females had chosen another over him.

  “What?” Mason asked, getting to his feet.

  I cleared my throat knowing I’d probably regret this for the rest of my likely short life. But fuck, the female was in pain and Nathan wasn’t around. Mason was right. We can’t let our Alpha female suffer. “Havana will choose between the three of us. The chosen male will mate with her and the other two males must not interfere. Understood?”

  “Yes,” Liam and Mason said in unison.

  The bathroom door crashed open.

  We all turned our gazes to the mesmerizing sight of Havana standing naked in the doorway.

  Havana

  All three men stared at me slack-jawed as I clung to the doorframe for dear life.

  “Help me,” I panted. I brought my fist to my mouth to muffle a cry of pain as my lower belly cramped and my core spasmed with need. My knees gave out with no warning, but somehow Gabriel caught me.

  “I told you you’d know when the heat hit, princess,” he said with a crooked smile.

  I moaned in agony. Never in my life had I experienced such unyielding lust. My sex burned, my skin felt so sensitized it could melt right off my flesh. “Please,” I begged rubbing my thighs together seeking relief from the torment.

  He carried me to the oversize king bed and set me on the soft velvet comforter. Tension thrummed through his body as he stepped away from me. “Which of us do you want to mate with?” He motioned between himself and the other males.

  My vision was tinged in red as I looked over the men.

  Liam’s muscular chest rose and fell rapidly as he watched me with a mixture of hope and anxiety in his dark green gaze. If I chose the gentle giant who’d sworn to protect me, I’d be his first woman.

  Mason stood next to him, his beautiful blue eyes glinting with passion and desire. The sexy doctor would do anything to make me happy. Anything. And I’d already had a taste of how he could pleasure me. I licked my lips in eager anticipation.

  Dragging my gaze from Mason, I focused on the man in black. Gabriel. He stood stiffly, his one dark eye fixed on the door as if he was getting ready to bolt. But I wasn’t fooled. I’d read his mind. He wanted me to be his. And I wanted him to be mine.

  The men seemed to hold their collective breaths as I pretended to deliberate.

  Suddenly, a maelstrom of heat tore through my body. With a cry, I fell back on the bed arching in pain. “All of you,” I gasped. “I want all of you.”

  The men became statues.

  “She wants us all?” Liam asked in a confused voice.

  “Yes. All of you,” I screamed.

  Mason let out a strained laugh. “Well, I’m willing to share, if you are.”

  “That’s not how it’s done,” Gabriel chided. “One male to one female. You know the rules.”

  “Tasha’s rules,” Liam spat. “She made them so no female could be more powerful or more protected than her. Females in other factions mate with more than one male.”

  “True,” Gabriel said, slowly turning his gaze back to me. “So, all three of us?”

  “Yes,” I gasped. Another wave of heat crashed into me. “Someone get over here now!” At that point, I would’ve screwed the freaking zombie professor if it would’ve stopped the pain.

  Liam fumbled with his fly. “I’m coming, beautiful.”

  Gabriel slapped the big man in the chest. “You’ll split her apart with that shit. Let one of us go first and get her ready for you.”

  “You can go,” Mason said to Gabriel. He added in a low voice, “I, uh, just took care of myself downstairs.”

  What does a girl have to do to get fucked around here? I moaned, rubbing my clit furiously, but no matter how I worked myself, I couldn’t come.

  “I got you, princess,” Gabriel said, approaching the bed.

  Finally. I reached out for him with clawing hands and dragged him on top of me. “I need—I need.” I couldn’t get the words out. I frantically tore at his pants needing his skin on mine so badly I could taste blood.

  Pushing my hands away, he freed his long, pulsing length.

  I almost wept in relief. “Please!”

  He brushed his thick cock back and forth against my swollen folds. Then he claimed my mouth in a possessive kiss.

  Desperation tore through me. I bit his lip hard. No kissing. No foreplay. No teasing. Lust twisted my insides. “Get inside me,” I screamed, digging my nails into his tight ass.

  He gripped my hips and entered me with one thrust.

  The feel of his heat sliding through my wet channel was just what my body craved. “Yes, yes!” I cried, arching up off the bed.

  He thrust in and out, his thick length filling me perfectly.

  “Harder!” I wrapped my legs around his waist, urging him on.

  He pounded me into the mattress with savage intensity.

  It was everything I craved. Everything I needed. The tension inside me ratcheted higher and higher. “Don’t stop!”

  He pistoned his hips, electricity sparking through me with each frenzied thrust.

  “Oh, God!” Half out of my mind, I was dimly aware of him reaching between our bodies and finding my clit.

  A violent orgasm tore through me, shaking every bone in my body.

  Bellowing my name, Gabriel came in jerking spasms that bathed my core in his seed.

  Unable to control myself, I came again and again until my vision went white. As I trembled with the aftershocks, the grinding need relented. I let out a shuddering breath and clung to his sweat-slicked back. “Thank you.”

  He pushed up on his elbows and looked down at me. His one dark eye still glinted with passion. “Anytime, princess.” He leaned down and kissed me. “That was incredible.”

  I could feel the truth in his words and in the deep satisfaction that radiated from him.

  I want this man for now. For always. Some primitive instinct made me whisper, “You’re mine,” against his lips.

  He jerked back as if I'd slapped him. Then he studied my face with some unnamed emotion flashing in his intense gaze. “How I want that to be true. But I can’t be yours.”

  Disappointment thrummed through me, easing only when he deepened the kiss, turning it into something hot and wild. “Oh, yes.” More. I needed more.

  His cock hardened as my inner walls spasmed around him.

  I moaned, readying for another delicious ride when Gabriel surprised me by pulling out.

  While I blinked at him in confusion, he grabbed my hips, flipped me over and pulled me up on my hands and knees. Then he entered me again in a delicious spine-tingling thrust of his hips.

  I let out a shocked moan and stared into the lust-filled gazes of Liam and Mason. How could I have forgotten about them?

  The men stood a few feet from the bed.

  Mason’s eyes were bright with longing as he watched Gabriel take me.

 
; Liam had pulled out his cock and was stroking it.

  My mouth dropped open when I saw its size. Holy hell.

  As if sensing my interest in the others, Gabriel grabbed a handful of my hair and yanked my head back possessively. My back arched into the muscles of his smooth bronze chest. “Don’t forget about me.”

  “Never!” I panted as his thrusts grew wilder. “But you need to learn to share.” I motioned Liam over. “Touch me,” I gasped, offering my breasts to him.

  He looked over my shoulder at Gabriel, as if for approval, and then approached the bed. Reaching out, he cupped my breasts.

  Gabriel’s thrusts rocked my nipples in and out of his hands.

  I shuddered as Liam clamped them between his fingers. “God, that feels so good. More!”

  Liam leaned down and took one of my nipples into his mouth. Then he suckled the sensitive peak.

  The combined sensation of Gabriel thrusting and Liam sucking threw me right into an erotic abyss. I screamed as pleasure short-circuited my mind.

  Gabriel thrust one more time and exploded inside me.

  I orgasmed again—every muscle in my body tightening and releasing. Slowly, I grew aware of the fact that Gabriel had slipped out of my body and Liam sat on the bed holding me.

  “I got you, beautiful,” the giant rumbled.

  I looked down at his huge cock and licked my lips. “Your turn.”

  Liam looked back at Gabriel, who’d collapsed at the other end of the bed. “Is she ready?”

  He should ask me. I grabbed his chin and forced his gaze to mine. “She’s very ready.” Then I reached down and stroked his shaft.

  Liam let out a ragged groan.

  I slid my hand back and forth, marveling at the size. I tried to close my fingers around the throbbing length and failed. It’s so big. I let out a throaty moan of appreciation.

  He shuddered. “That feels amazing.”

  “This will feel even more amazing,” I said, pushing him back on the bed and straddling him. “Take off your clothes.”

  “Okay,” he gasped, yanking off his shirt and lifting me so he could kick off his pants.

  I ran my fingers through his soft chest hair enjoying the differences between his huge hairy body and Gabriel’s sleeker muscular one. Before I could continue my exploration, my core tightened with need and a wave of lust swept over me. Can’t wait. I positioned myself over the blunt head of his cock.

  He let out a hiss of breath.

  Remembering that it was his first time, I slid down his cock slowly wanting him to savor the sensation.

  Tendons strained in his neck as he fisted the bed sheets. His eyes glazed with desire.

  Oh, God. Although I was drenched with passion and Gabriel’s seed, I had to stop halfway down to let my body adjust to his incredible size.

  Seeming to sense my discomfort, Liam grabbed my hips. “Stop. I don’t want to hurt you.”

  “You’re not hurting me.” I leaned over and kissed him passionately.

  His eyes fluttered shut, and he moaned against my lips.

  I took advantage of his distraction to fully impale myself. My inner walls burned as his huge cock stretched me to the point of pain.

  He let out a cry, his eyes flying open and staring straight into mine. His expression of dazed excitement thrilled me.

  Gradually the sting between my legs ebbed leaving only desire. Every one of my nerve endings came alive as I moved over him.

  I’m his first. His last. The instinct to claim him overpowered me. “You’re mine,” I whispered.

  The shocked expression that crossed his face was quickly replaced by joy. “Yes, yours,” he echoed.

  A bond snapped between us, and somehow I was feeling what he was feeling and hearing every thought in his head.

  She claimed me! His chest swelled with happiness. She claimed me!

  “Not quite yet,” I whispered into his mind, rocking back on his magnificent cock.

  “Ah, fuck.” His eyes rolled back in his head.

  Loving the way he filled every inch of me, I rode him hard. The pace I set was fast and furious and had our sweat-slicked bodies slapping together.

  Shuddering, he surged up to meet my strokes, his hands cupping my breasts. “I’m close,” he gasped.

  Feeling his mounting desire through our bond, I slammed down harder. Molten heat raged inside me.

  A guttural sound broke from his lips as he came. His orgasm ricocheted through me and sent me spiraling straight into an ocean of bliss.

  Collapsing down on his chest in a boneless heap, I struggled to catch my breath.

  Liam’s thundering heartbeat drummed against my ear. “That was everything I hoped for,” he said, kissing me on my forehead. “I’m glad you were the one.”

  A loud snore had me jerking my head up.

  Gabriel lay a few feet away in a dead sleep.

  “Seriously, brother? We’re having a moment here.” Liam threw a pillow at his friend’s head.

  Gabriel didn’t stir.

  I couldn’t help giggling.

  “You must’ve worn him out,” Liam said, pulling me into the curve of his arm.

  “He hasn’t slept in days,” Mason said in a low voice.

  Mason! Shit. I’d forgotten all about the male. I looked over to see the gorgeous doctor leaning against the dresser.

  He watched us with smoldering eyes, his nostrils flaring.

  He wants me. My sex pulsed with a warm deep throb. I could definitely go another round or two or three.

  “Then go another round with me,” Liam said, kissing me.

  I pushed him away. “No fair reading my mind.”

  “You’ve already learned how to speak telepathically?” Mason asked, pushing away from the dresser and coming to stand next to the bed. “It took me months to figure it out.”

  Liam brushed his hand through my hair. “She claimed me.”

  “Oh.” Mason took a step back, a stunned expression on his face.

  I looked between the men. “What do you mean by claimed? We had sex, like I had sex with Gabriel.”

  Liam shook his head. “It’s more than that. When you told me I was yours and I agreed, our souls connected. We’re now bonded for life. That’s why you can read my mind so easily and why I can tell you are suddenly filled with panic.”

  I sat up in the bed feeling completely overwhelmed.

  “Shh. It’s okay,” Liam whispered, rising up next to me. He leaned over and kissed my shoulder. “Don’t be upset.”

  “She claimed you without knowing what she was doing?” Mason asked, sounding incredulous.

  “Apparently, Doc.”

  Anxiety knotted my stomach. “What does it mean to be claimed?”

  Liam wrapped his arms around me. “It means we’re family now. I’ll never leave your side as long as we live.”

  I searched his handsome face. “Really?”

  Liam leaned over and kissed me. “Really. Unless you decide to break the bond, not even death can separate us.”

  Wow. My throat grew tight. My whole life I’d ached for this kind of connection. I wrapped my arms around Liam’s neck and deepened the kiss. The minty taste of his lips made heat build between my legs. I moaned. Again? My body seemed insatiable.

  Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Mason awkwardly pick an invisible piece of lint from his slacks. “Well, I should leave you two alone.”

  No way is he leaving. Now that I knew how to create a family, I planned on immediately expanding it. I broke away from Liam.

  He tried to drag me back down on the bed.

  I gently pushed away. “Loving me means sharing.”

  Although his disappointment came through our bond, he nodded in understanding. “I know. Doc’s turn.”

  “Thank you,” I whispered through our private connection. Then, I reached out and grabbed Mason’s hand before he could walk away. “I could use another shower. How about you help me clean off with those magic hands of yours?”

  Mason

  All I could do was nod like an idiot when she pulled me into the bathroom. The sway of her heart-shaped bottom captivated me. Have I ever seen a more perfect-looking ass?

  It should’ve bothered me that she’d just been with two other males, but somehow seeing her with them only inflamed my desire.

  Her color was high as she dropped my hand and walked into the ridiculously large glass shower. She twisted the knob handle and water poured out of numerous showerheads mounted on the ceiling above. Giving me a seductive look, she grabbed a bar of soap from the bench and washed her body.

  Mesmerized by her hands working the thick lather across her breasts and stomach, all rational thought left my brain.

  Then she rubbed lower, sliding the soap between her legs.

  “Bloody hell.” My dick strained toward her, begging me to finish what we’d started earlier in the infirmary.

  “Aren’t you coming in?” she asked in a husky voice.

  Hell, yes. Without another thought I pulled open the glass door and stepped in.

  “Your clothes,” she giggled.

  “Oh.” I look down at my wet pants and shirt. Screw it. Who cares about clothes at a time like this? I whipped my shirt over my head and shucked my pants and boxer shorts. As her gaze roamed my body, I couldn’t help but feel self-conscious. Regular workouts and my Lykos physiology gave me a muscular body that would make any human proud, but I was still no match for the hulking males in the other room. Standing before her in the raw, while she’d just seen every inch of their bodies, did nothing for my ego.

  As if sensing my anxiety, she traced a drop of water down my pectorals and then cupped my face in her hands. “You’re perfect, Mason, and you’re mine.” She looked up at me with her beautiful golden gaze and suddenly it seemed as if she was peering into my soul.

  “Yes, I’m yours, love,” I answered, my heart exploding with emotions so intense they threatened to crush my sternum. All my life I’d been searching for this. To truly belong to something—someone. And now I belonged to her. My eyes stung as the bond snapped in place between us. “You claimed me.”
