She also remembered a vivid dream of the two men holding their sleeping children so lovingly, and knew that what she had dreamed was another gifted vision of their future together. The happiness that filled her was overwhelming, and she could feel her heart racing. She couldn’t help but smile as she thought about the men caring for their babies. It made her hopeful. It made her happy. It made her afraid.
“You’re thinking too hard, Nikki,” Alex whispered against the top of her head.
Nikki turned her head so she could look up at him. He lay contentedly beside her, his eyes still closed with a soft smile on his lips. Before she could stop herself, she reached up and kissed his neck softly before biting his jaw lightly. She smiled at his growl and released his jaw, kissing it tenderly before leaning back to look at him.
“You look sexy lying there all sleepy,” she told him honestly. She reached up and ran the back of her index finger against the dark growth of whiskers on his cheek.
Alex opened his eyes slowly, the silver gray of them sparkling with happiness as he looked at their mate. “I missed you,” he whispered, his expression turning serious as he focused on her.
“I missed you, too,” she whispered, leaning back carefully as she eased her body out of both men’s embrace until she was kneeling between them.
“Good morning, Butler,” she told him softly as he opened his eyes to smile up at her. Both men held her hands lazily in theirs. She felt comfortable. She felt happy.
“Did you sleep enough?” Butler asked her gently. “You were pretty exhausted last night.”
Nikki nodded silently. Reaching out, she threaded her fingers through the soft length of Butler’s hair, brushing it away from his face so she could see him without anything hampering the sight of his absolute perfection.
“When I’m with you both, I sleep the best I’ve ever slept,” she told them honestly.
“Me, too,” Butler answered immediately. “It’s because we’re fulfilling our destiny. The three of us are meant to form this triad, Nikki.” He pulled her hand to his mouth and kissed her knuckles tenderly. “I’ll even put up with Alex’s snoring to sleep this way every night.”
A pillow connected with Butler’s face immediately, startling Nikki as an oomph escaped Butler.
“Alex!” Nikki couldn’t contain the laughter that burst from her.
“He deserved it,” Alex grumbled.
Butler peeled the pillow from his face, laughter bursting from him as he winked at Nikki before turning toward Alex. “Sorry, buddy,” he apologized quickly, not one ounce of sincerity in his voice.
Alex growled at him, no real malice in the sound. “You can always sleep in another bedroom,” he offered with warning. “We’ll have plenty of rooms in our house once it’s built.
Butler laughed, settling back against his pillow and throwing Alex’s pillow back at him with perfect aim so that it hit him square in the face.
“I’ll pass,” he said immediately. “I’m going to be sleeping beside our mate every night for the rest of our lives. Those extra bedrooms will just have to wait to be filled with our cubs.”
Both men turned to smile at Nikki but sobered immediately when they saw the expression of seriousness on her face. As one, they sat up and reached out to hold her hands gently.
“Nikki, what’s wrong?” Alex asked her quietly, reaching out with his free hand to brush her hair away from her face.
“I had a dream last night,” she told them softly.
They remained silent, waiting for her to continue. They knew her next words would either make them deliriously happy or totally devastate them.
“I saw you holding our daughter, Alex,” she told him, her eyes soft at the memory. “And I saw you holding our son, Butler.”
Both men nodded, unsure what to say, if anything.
She sat back and looked down at their joined hands briefly before looking back up at the men. “I’ve always wanted children, but seeing how you both held our babies with such gentleness and love, I realize now that I only want them with you two.”
The immediate possessive growls that escaped both men surprised her and made her jump. She saw the flash of gold in their eyes and knew that she had also made their wolves happy.
“Guess you want that, too,” she told them, laughing as both men reached forward and pulled her into their arms until she was settled between them.
Before she could say another word, she was lovingly and totally claimed by both men as they alternated kissing her face, her lips, and her neck. She was breathless from their assault, but she wouldn’t change a thing. She wanted them both and she wanted them now.
Butler pulled away and looked down at her with raw desire on his face. “Will you let us make love to you together, Nikki?” he asked her quietly.
Alex pulled away from her and waited as she looked from Butler to him, and back to Butler. He saw the fear in her eyes and reached forward to touch her face gently.
“Together how?” she barely whispered. “Laurie told me how you have to make love to me during the mating. Is that what you mean?”
“When we get back to the ranch, we’ll love you that way when we claim you. We won’t do that now. We don’t have any of the items to ease your discomfort afterward. We would never cause you one moment of pain.” Alex’s voice was comforting, his care for her obvious.
“Except when I’m in labor,” Nikki told them, laughing softly as she reminded them that in order to have the family they seemed to want with her, pain was inevitable.
Alex smiled slowly, his face taking on a softness that stole Nikki’s heart. “Yes, Mate, giving birth to our cubs will cause you pain,” he agreed. “Butler and I will be with you every moment. If we could take your pain, we would in a heartbeat.”
“You women amaze me, Nikki,” Butler told her honestly. “You all go through unimaginable pain to bring new life into the world and still welcome that cub with open love and tenderness.” He leaned forward to kiss her lips lightly. “Your strength and courage humbles us, sweetness.”
“We’ll see how understanding and helpful you are during delivery,” Nikki told him, laughing.
Butler smiled down at her as tenderness came across his features. “I’m looking forward to it,” he whispered.
Nikki leaned into Butler’s arms and hugged him tightly, unable to speak. When he tipped her head back so she could accept his kiss, she gave of herself willingly. There was no more fighting the love she felt for both men. She couldn’t deny it, nor did she want to. It was there. It had been for a while. She wanted them in her future. She wanted their children. She wanted their love.
“I love you, Nikki,” she heard Alex whisper against the back of her neck before he kissed her gently, nipping at her shoulder lightly.
Nikki leaned back, feeling Alex’s arms immediately support her as she arched her back so she could see him. “I love you, Alex,” she whispered. “So damn much, it scares me.”
The instant joy that encompassed Alex’s face made her know that she would do everything that she could to make sure this strong man would know every day that he was loved, tenderly and passionately. She turned to look at Butler and saw the happiness that filled him.
“Why do I love you so much, Butler?” she asked in wonder.
“I’ll never understand why, sweetness. I just thank the Fates that you do because I love you more than my life,” he told her honestly, his voice hoarse with emotion.
Nikki smiled, laughing softly before she reached up to touch both men’s cheeks gently. “Enough of this mushy stuff,” she told them firmly. “Let’s get down to some serious lovemaking.”
In a move so fast that it actually made her dizzy, Alex flipped her to lay her on her back between them. She couldn’t stop laughing as he pulled her clothes from her body until she was totally naked between them.
“No fair,” she protested, laughing. “You both need to get naked, too.”
Her laughter faded as she watched both men pull away
To be both kind and hot? Man!
“So how are we going to do this?” she asked calmly.
Alex lay beside her, petting her hip lightly. “Don’t worry, Mate,” he whispered against her cheek. “We’ll make sure you’re ready so we can both love you at the same time.”
“How will you do that?” Nikki asked, her voice breathless with anticipation despite her nerves.
“Well,” Alex answered, reaching out to gently cup her left breast to caress it gently before leaning forward to kiss the full swell of it. Capturing the peaked nipple and sucking it with strength into the recesses of his warm mouth, swirling his tongue around it slowly, he carefully bit down on it. “First we’re going to kiss and taste every inch of your body.” He smiled against the soft warmth of her breast, thinking briefly how it would soon be nourishing their young. The thought made him growl in pleasure, and Nikki’s responding moan made desire course through him.
Butler moved to lie beside her and worshiped her other breast, biting down on her distended nipple and humming with pleasure at the scent of her arousal.
“I can smell your body’s desire,” he whispered as he traveled kisses along her body and made his way up to her mouth to take it sweetly. “Do you have any lube, Nikki?” he whispered against her ear.
“In the bottom drawer of the bedside table,” she moaned before Alex took his place at her mouth and bit gently on her lower lip before sucking it into the warmth of his mouth to soothe the sting.
Nikki felt the bed move as Butler edged toward the bedside table. His movement was a distant occurrence she couldn’t really concentrate on with Alex demanding her attention—something she was more than willing to give.
“Look what I found!”
Somehow, Butler’s amused voice made its way through the haze of lust she was experiencing. She couldn’t imagine what Butler was talking about.
Alex pulled away from her mouth, kissing her nose lightly as she melted, boneless beneath him, before he turned to face Butler. The immediate growl that escaped him made Nikki’s eyes flash open to find out why he was suddenly so tense. When he turned his attention back to her, the breath caught in her throat as she saw the raw desire that looked back at her. His eyes were fully golden as his wolf fought for control.
She touched his cheek gently, not really understanding what would put such a feral expression of need on his face. He turned and gently bit her hand, the growls that escaped him rumbling against her chest and heightening her own desire for him.
She turned to look at Butler and gasped in horror. Butler stood beside the bed, fully naked and painfully aroused, his cock dripping a constant stream of pre-cum. In his hands he held two items. A large bottle of lube and a synthetic eight inch cock still in its original, clear, unopened, plastic packaging.
“Oh my God!”
She scrambled out from under Alex, reaching for the dildo immediately. Butler held it up high, preventing her from snatching it away. No matter how she grabbed at his arm, she was not strong enough to pull it down so she could get the embarrassing item away from him. Unable to keep the absolute feeling of horror from her eyes, she lowered her arms and sat down on the edge of the bed, slumping in defeat. She was good and truly mortified.
She could feel Alex kneeling at her side as he braced her body against his. Butler knelt before her, spreading her legs to settle intimately before her. She refused to look at either man.
“Is it possible to die from embarrassment?” she asked softly.
Butler’s chuckle made her lift her eyes hesitantly. Instead of the censure she expected to see, she saw him looking at her with a smile on his face, and the same passion-filled gaze that Alex had directed toward her.
“Do you have more toys we can play with, sweetness?” Butler asked her happily.
She looked at him in confusion. “You want to play with toys?”
Alex took her hand and led it to his fully aroused shaft, wrapping her hand around its girth and closing his fingers around hers, encouraging her to squeeze him tightly. His responding groan of appreciation surprised her, and she looked up at him, unsure.
“Alex?”
“I can think of a few toys we would enjoy playing with, honey, and I think you’ll enjoy them just as much as we do,” he told her seriously. “Just the thought of you playing with us is enough for me to come right now.”
“Really?” she asked in surprise.
Both men nodded, smiling widely.
“Hot damn!” Nikki nearly shouted with equal measures of surprise, relief, and happiness.
The laughter and acceptance of both men pushed aside any embarrassment she might have felt. She couldn’t believe how lucky she was to have found partners who liked to have fun.
“This package is unopened,” Butler said quietly. “Why, honey?”
Nikki blushed hotly. “I bought it a while ago, but I never could bring myself to use it.”
Butler put the package aside on the bed before reaching up to touch Nikki’s face gently. “Why not, baby?”
“It made me too sad.” She looked up at Butler then turned to face Alex. “It just reminded me that I was alone with no one to make love to.”
Alex leaned toward her and embraced her gently. “You’ll never be alone again, Nikki,” he promised. “Butler and I will be with you for the rest of our lives. And we’ll be making love to you as often as the opportunity presents itself.” He winked at her and was rewarded with her pretty smile.
“That sounds really nice,” she told them both quietly. “I like the idea of spending my life with you both.”
“Good,” Butler spoke up, leaning forward to kiss her neck, resting against her and inhaling her sweet scent. “Now, we have a toy to try out.” He stood and reached for the package, pulling it open as he walked toward her bathroom. “I’ll be right back as soon as I clean this, and then we’ll put it to good use.”
“You’re going to use it on me?” Nikki asked, barely able to speak.
“Oh, yeah,” Butler answered, grinning as he looked over his shoulder. “And we’re going to have you screaming with pleasure very shortly.”
He turned and walked into the bathroom. Nikki heard the water running and could only imagine that he was cleaning the toy so that they could use it on her. The very thought of it made a rush of cream escape her. Alex’s immediate growl drew her attention.
In one gentle movement, he had her lying flat on her back and was nestled in the cradle of her hips. He kissed her with such possession she nearly cried. The way he gathered her in his arms made her feel like she was meant to be there, held and loved by him forever.
“Alex,” she whispered, unsure what she wanted to say as he pulled back and looked down at her with such tenderness her heart ached. “Being with you and Butler makes me happy.”
His eyes closed slowly as he leaned forward and rested his forehead against hers. “Nikki,” he whispered. “I can’t believe we’ve finally found you.”
The bed shifted and Nikki knew Butler was lying beside them. She turned to face him and smiled at the tender expression he directed at her.
“Hi, Butler,” she whispered softly, smiling at the wide smile that immediately filled his face.
“Hello, sweetness,” he whispered back. “Are you ready to let us make love to you together?”
Alex settled himself against her side to allow Butler equal access to their mate. When he looked at Nikki, he could see how she tensed as her nervousness ran through her.
The panic she was feeling must have showed on her face because both men’s expressions were suddenly filled with softness and understanding. She knew she had delayed their joining and was amazed that they had never treated her with anything but patience and understanding. She had expected frustration and anger, but she had received neither.
“You have nothing to be afraid of, Nikki,” Butler whispered, reaching up to brush his fingers lightly across her forehead as if to brush away her worry.
He leaned forward and kissed her full lips with utmost tenderness, gathering her in his arms as he held her snugly against his chest. Alex cuddled up behind her, holding her tightly between them both. His hand stroked her back before settling against her hip, his warmth surrounding her and relaxing her further.
Butler leaned back, allowing Nikki to settle on her back between them. He ran his hand up her thigh, smiling as she automatically opened her legs and arched into his touch.
Alex kissed her gently, drawing her attention even as he slid his hand up her other thigh to gently pet the soft curls covering her mound. His mouth captured her moans as he slid his index finger through her folds to slip inside her moist heat. His groan joined hers as he pushed in deep, loving every moment of closeness with her.
He slowly dragged his finger from her body, eliciting a moan from her. It was drenched in her cream, and he slid it through her already swollen folds gently, circling her clit with painstaking slowness. Nikki moaned against his neck, biting down lightly, sending his wolf into a frenzy. Would he ever get enough of this woman? She called to his basic need, and he was thankful that she enjoyed doing to him exactly what he wanted and needed her to do.
He pulled back to look down at her, a feral grin on his face. “You are so mine,” he growled.
Nikki laughed then groaned as Butler inserted the synthetic cock into her in one smooth glide. She gripped his shoulder painfully as he pulled the eight-inch cock out then pushed it back inside her so deep, only the round base remained at the entrance to her pussy.
