“Mmmm…I want to play, too.” Ethan’s playful voice stopped her, and she turned her head to see him leaning against the doorway. He smiled and sent her a wink.
“What do you think, Ryan? Should we let Ethan play, too?” She knew she was being silly, but she wanted to play along. It was fun teasing them.
“Maybe we should take this to the bedroom then. It’s not going to be a quickie anymore.” Ryan laughed a little and sat up with her in his arms. He helped her to stand, and she grabbed her shirt off the floor.
“A quickie? How disappointing.” Katie purred the words, wanting to keep their attention focused on her as she headed out of the living room, not bothering to put her shirt back on.
“It wouldn’t have been disappointing, I promise. I would’ve satisfied you. Completely.” She shrieked in surprise when Ryan ran up behind her, grabbed her, and threw her over his shoulder. She loved the whole caveman routine. It was sexy. She looked up and saw Ethan watching her closely as he followed Ryan toward the bedroom. Ethan pulled his shirt over his head, and Katie’s heart tripped and started beating faster as he exposed his beautiful, hard chest. His muscles flexed as he walked, and she licked her lips, wanting to run her mouth up and down his stomach. She was turning into a little nympho around these men. She squirmed on Ryan’s shoulder, willing him to walk faster.
* * * *
Ethan couldn’t contain himself. Watching her in the living room with Ryan, he was torn between letting them have some alone time and joining in. When Katie took her shirt off and leaned into Ryan, moaning, the decision was made. He wanted her, and he couldn’t stand there and watch without touching.
His body clenched, and his cock hardened painfully. Ryan stood her up, and he moved forward to take over. He couldn’t wait another minute. He’d been craving her. Her simple white bra barely contained her full, round breasts. Her soft tummy disappeared into her jeans, her belly button peeking out. Reaching behind her, he unclasped the bra and guided the straps off her shoulders while she watched him.
“Take off your jeans.” He knew he would tear them from her, which would more than likely terrify her at this point. He tried to keep his control tightly leashed.
Her brown eyes sparkled, her chest heaving while her breaths came faster. “You take them off.” She challenged him, the hint of a smile forming on her pouty lips.
He stared at her for a moment, making sure he’d heard her right. She’d ignored his instruction and countered him. Those brown eyes never strayed, watching him while her nipples hardened, her breathing almost coming in quick, little pants. Maybe she wasn’t as terrified as he thought. Not taking his gaze from hers, he reached between them, grabbing her jeans, yanking the top button free. His coordination was failing him, the zipper not cooperating. He tugged impatiently, refusing to focus on anything but the swirling of emotions on her pretty face.
Finally the zipper loosened, her jeans sliding down her hips. He grabbed a hold of the material, shoving it down. Her body swayed into him, but she didn’t lose her balance. Never before had such little action on a woman’s part made the beast within him stir with such force. He knew the reason. She was his mate, and he could barely contain himself when she was around. She stood naked before him, and he felt light-headed at how truly beautiful she was.
“Wow. You’re so perfect. I love looking at you.” He leaned in and kissed her lips more gently than he wanted to. He had to remember to stay calm with her. He didn’t want to lose control.
Ethan turned his head and looked at Ryan. He was sitting in one of the chairs, smiling broadly at them. He felt a little guilty for a minute until Ryan nodded his head, and then he realized that his brother was giving him some alone time with their mate. A million pictures flashed through his mind, and he didn’t know what he wanted to do to Katie first. As if sensing his dilemma, she started unzipping his pants. She grabbed the sides of his jeans at his hips and took them down his legs, pulling them from his body. He stood before her naked, and he let her have a moment of control.
She was down on her knees before him, looking up at him, her eyes never leaving his. Reaching out, her fingers tracing a delicate pattern over his shaft, she smiled so sweetly. He wasn’t sure if he had the willpower to let her do this. He didn’t want to be teased. He needed to fuck.
“Be careful, sweetheart. I’m barely holding on here.” He grabbed the base of his cock, the pressure building within, making him dizzy.
“I’m sure you’ll be fine. Just enjoy.” She put her hand over his and glided her mouth over the head of his cock. For a moment, he swore the world turned upside down on him. He braced himself, grabbing the side of the bed. He prayed for his vision to clear so he could enjoy the beautiful sight before him.
She stretched her lips around his cock. Her tongue darted around his shaft, touching him, licking him, exploring. Her eyelashes fluttered and she closed her eyes while she worked more of him into her mouth. It took more strength than he knew he possessed to remain perfectly still and not force his cock deep into the heat of her mouth.
“Katie.” He growled. He could feel the animal inside him wanting to shift and grow. His muscles were burning. He fought the urge, knowing the slightest change would alter the size of his cock. He wouldn’t allow anything to stop her from what she was doing right now.
“I can’t make it all fit.” She sounded frustrated, and he found himself smiling a little. She was so perfect.
Her small tongue scoured a heated path down his cock, and he grabbed her hair, holding her head in place. The urge to plummet deep inside her mouth, feel her throat contract around him, rushed through him.
“Trust me. What you’re doing is perfect.” He groaned. He could barely talk. All of his concentration was needed just to hold still and allow her to do what she wanted. Her tight little mouth wrapped around him again, sucking and licking. She would suck the life right out of him, and he swore that was what she was doing.
“Baby. I’m going to explode.” He warned her.
Her response was to suck harder. She moved her head over him, forcing as much of him into her mouth as she could. Her tongue created havoc, swirling around his cock, stroking up and down. A dam broke inside him. Pressure released, causing a flood of sensation to rush through him. He almost fell forward but braced himself while his seed sprayed into her mouth. Her lips tightened around his cockhead while she continued to suck.
“Dear God. Katie!” He couldn’t take anymore. Her little mouth, so hot and tight, just about brought him to his knees.
She looked up at him, grinning. “Are you okay?” She didn’t look concerned about his well-being at all. Her smile was smug. She knew she had almost broken him. He had to force oxygen into his lungs. He took a few deep breaths trying to regain his strength. He reached down and helped her to her feet, wrapping his arms around her, holding her tight against his chest while he got his bearings.
“Holy fuck! Ryan. Her mouth.” He couldn’t seem to form complete sentences. His brain felt detached from his body.
“Lucas seemed to enjoy himself.” Ryan’s response surprised him, and he craned his neck to look at him.
“What? Lucas?” He wasn’t upset at all, just a little shocked, especially after everything Lucas had said.
“Yup. Caught them in the shower.” Ryan winked, and Ethan smiled, feeling like this could finally work out for them all. He kissed her neck, lazily moving his tongue around his mark on her neck. She would never be able to see it, but he knew it was there.
* * * *
She wasn’t sure how to feel about Ryan telling Ethan about the shower scene with Lucas. Maybe she was expecting him to be upset a little, but Ethan surprised her by kissing her neck instead, and she leaned into him. She started rubbing herself against his body, and she knew the picture she made. She was practically humping his thigh.
She heard a low growl and looked up to see Ryan walking toward her. He was naked, and the look in his eyes made her shiver. He moved behind her, and she felt
his hands on her hips. He got on his knees behind her and nuzzled her ass. He started kissing her lower back, moving his hands, massaging her legs.
Ethan stroked his rough finger down her cheek and then outlined her collarbone, stretching his fingers around her neck, tightening his grip, and then relaxing it. Her nipples hardened painfully while her breasts swelled. He was so aggressive but then gentle, as if silently showing her he would have what he wanted but encouraging her to want it, too.
What she wouldn’t do to experience Ethan’s mouth on her nipples, sucking, nibbling. Her pussy swelled and got so wet there was no way she could hide her need. Every inch of his hard body pressed against her. His cock was already hard as stone and pressing against her hip. Ethan moved down her body slowly, stopping to give her breasts the attention they craved.
He cupped her breasts in his large hands, weighing them. He stared at her as he dipped his head down and licked each nipple. He blew cool air at each tip, making her nipples pebble and harden further. When she jerked, he moved in for the kill. He wrapped his mouth around a nipple and sucked hard. The pressure sent a jolt straight to her clit, and she moaned, reached out, and grabbed his hair, holding him to her. He moved to the next nipple and bit down hard. The pain had her hissing until he licked his tongue over the tip.
“Let’s move to the bed, Ethan. I want to eat her pussy.” Ryan’s words were rough, and she silently agreed. She didn’t know how much more she could take and still remain standing. Her legs already felt weak. Ethan pulled back, and Ryan wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her to the bed. She didn’t need to climb on the bed. He was there grabbing her and laying her down. He shoved her legs apart, and she watched him take control of her body.
* * * *
Ryan traced a finger over her pussy, her body jerking from the small motion. He watched her mouth open with a silent cry, a vision of beauty. She opened herself completely, relaxing on the bed.
“Oh. Shit.” She bucked against him when he ran his tongue down the length of her pussy.
Heat swam around his face, matching the intense fire building inside him. His cock throbbed against the bedspread underneath him, demanding attention. Pressing his lips to her clit, he sucked and licked, holding her in place to keep her from bouncing off the bed while he feasted.
“Dammit, Ryan.” She cried out, her muscles tightening enough that he knew she was getting close to coming. He wanted to be inside her. He wanted to feel her muscles tighten around his shaft.
“What do you want, baby?” He enjoyed her tormented expression.
“Fuck me. Please fuck me.” She opened her eyes, her gaze imploring him.
When he climbed over her, she watched his cock. Her moist heat soaked his cockhead, making his blood boil. The overwhelming urge to dive into her almost consumed him. He couldn’t move for a minute, working desperately to control the beast that threatened to emerge and take over. Ethan moved onto the bed, then leaning down, he took her lips in a passionate kiss, giving him a minute to calm down. She moved her head, stopping the kiss after a minute, and whispered, “Take me.”
Fire soared around his cock as he pressed inside her, entering her narrow hole. For a moment, he thought her heat would suffocate him. Tight. Wet. Nothing had ever felt this damned good before. He buried his cock deep inside her, until she had stretched enough to take all of him.
“So damned good.” She moaned. She grabbed Ethan and pulled him down next to her, kissing him, practically inhaling his mouth.
He could hold still no longer. Pulling out, he lost himself in her again, moist heat flaring around him, driving him farther inside her. With each plunge, he watched her body jerk. He was getting close, he could feel her muscles tighten around his shaft, and he knew she was almost there as well. He picked up her thighs and threw them over his shoulders, wanting to get deeper, wanting to reach her G-spot.
“Oh, God! Ryan! I’m almost there.” She was moving with him, throwing her hips against his. Ethan moved down, sucking hard on one nipple while squeezing the other. She was panting, moaning, and sobbing his name. When he felt her muscles start to spasm around his cock, he knew she was coming, and that sent him over the edge.
He growled, closing his eyes while he exploded “You…are…mine!” He kept moving until every drop of cum had left his body. He couldn’t move. His muscles twitched, and he laid his forehead on her chest to catch his breath. He was careful not to put all his weight on her. He didn’t want to crush her. He could feel the trickle of sweat down his back. The room started to smell of Katie’s completion, and he inhaled, loving her scent more and more. He moved, pulling out of her pussy. He wanted to spend all day inside her, though, in her tight heat.
Ryan moved and laid next to her, pulling her into his arms. He relaxed, enjoying this moment.
“I’ll get a warm washcloth. You both look too tired to move.” Ethan moved away from the bed, and Ryan was glad he was here to take care of Katie. He was on the brink of passing out. He kissed her neck and closed his eyes. So many thoughts ran through his mind. Did he really want to keep his promise? Would she decide to stay with them? Could he let her go if that’s what she wanted him to do? He felt conflicted but knew it was too late. He would keep his promise and take her to his Alpha’s house in the morning.
* * * *
Lucas couldn’t stand it anymore. His body felt itchy and uncomfortable, and he hated the feel of his skin. The animal paced at the surface, irritated, wanting his mate. He was stuck and he was scared. He had always planned to find a mate with Ethan. They were twins, and he had always thought it would be the two of them. He hadn’t planned to share with Nathan and Ryan, and that pissed him off.
When he had gotten that first smell of his mate, he had wanted to take, to claim. Realizing that he would need to share with Nathan and Ryan was almost too much to bear. He didn’t want to be fourth in line, begging for her attention. Instead of accepting her, he had rejected her. He hadn’t just hurt her, he had severely injured himself.
The thing about mates was that each person only was granted one in their lifetime. At least, that’s what he’d always been told. He had already waited so long, and he wasn’t sure if there was another woman out there chosen for him. Questions rushed through his mind. Should he wait for another woman? Should he accept Katie and take his place with his brothers as her mate to love and protect? If he didn’t accept her, would he be alone forever?
When he looked at Katie, she astounded him, and he wanted to thrown himself on the ground and beg her forgiveness for all the shitty comments he had made. He couldn’t seem to keep his foot from his mouth when she was around. The look on her face after he said that he was not interested in being with her had broken his heart. She looked so sad and rejected. Thinking about it now, Lucas shook his head.
He stood outside the bedroom door and listened to all the little gasps and moans, wishing he had the courage to go inside and love her. He knew exactly what Ryan and Ethan were doing, and the animal in him wanted to join, wanted to fuck her and taste her. He was completely miserable, and he had done it all to himself. He had created this horrible situation. He pushed her away, he rejected his mate, and now he was paying for it.
This was his punishment. He would be in this house trying to survive while his brothers and their mate, his mate, lived on without him. He needed to make a decision. Should he accept her? Should he ask for her for another chance? Lucas groaned when he heard Katie come on a loud scream. He banged his head against the doorframe.
He was such an idiot. How long could he go on like this? Listening to her was becoming his own personal hell, and it was a hell of his own making, which was the worst part. He did all of this to himself. Katie didn’t reject him. She hadn’t pushed him away. Even with the whole shower disaster she had never once been mean.
She was kind, loving, and open. She was willing to accept them one hundred percent and embrace them as shifters. She didn’t run away screaming and crying. She never created any drama
between his brothers. She loved them equally. What the hell was his problem? Was it too late for him? He felt sick to his stomach realizing that too much time had gone by. He was doomed to listen at the door while his brothers enjoyed his mate for the rest of his life.
Lucas took a deep breath and let it out slowly. He had screwed up.
* * * *
Ethan walked out of the bathroom smiling broadly. It was so amazing to watch Ryan and Katie cuddle on the bed. They were both already sleeping, so he decided to forget about the washcloth. He didn’t want to disturb them. He leaned against the wall and just watched Katie, the rise and fall of her chest. She looked so small against Ryan. He watched as his brother pulled her closer into his body and moved his leg over hers in a protective move.
A quiet noise outside the door drew him, and he walked on silent feet out of the room and into the hallway. Lucas was standing there against the wall. Ethan wasn’t surprised that Katie’s sounds drew some attention. He had been so focused on her that he hadn’t heard or seen anyone.
“How long have you been here?” He whispered, not wanting to disturb Katie and Ryan.
“Long enough to be jealous,” Lucas said, avoiding making eye contact, and Ethan wondered what he was thinking.
“Why didn’t you come in and join us?” He meant it, too. Lucas should be with them, making love to Katie.
“I don’t deserve to be in there with her.” He finally looked up, and Ethan could see the sadness in his eyes.
“Yes you do. You’re her mate. You deserve to be with her, and she should have all of us,” Ethan told him.
