His cock hardened behind his zipper just thinking about what he wanted to do. He wouldn’t, of course. It was too soon. He needed to give her time to get to know them before he jumped her like some hormone-driven adolescent. Still, the thought was a tempting one.
He’d just stepped out from the stairwell that led to their second floor living quarters when a noise caught his attention and he looked up to see Nadya laying on top of the bar—naked.
His mouth went dry. His cock jumped behind his zipper as though trying to force its way out through the thick denim covering it. His gut clenched at the sight of his beautiful mate spread out on the bar, looking like a succulent buffet.
Time slowed as he approached her. It was as though he, and everything around him, moved in slow motion as he watched her push her long hair back, exposing the full curve of her breast with its berry red nipple peeking out at him.
Slowly, he took in every delicious inch of her curvy body from the top of her beautiful head to her feet, pausing, of course, at certain points of interest in between.
He licked his lips, his tongue tasting her as he breathed in her sweet scent. This was what he’d dreamed about over the past week. This was what he wanted more than life itself. A mate, their mate lying in wait for his possession.
“You’re awfully quiet.”
Luc could hear the reservation in her voice. He could smell her fear, her hesitation. She was afraid that he would reject her. Silly woman. Didn’t she know that she was everything he had ever dreamed of having?
“I’m just staring in awe at female perfection.”
“Yeah, right.” She started to cover herself, no doubt thinking that he made fun of her.
“Don’t!” Luc held out his hand. “Don’t cover yourself now that you’ve let me see all of your beauty.” He took a deep breath as he finally drew close enough to touch her. “Gods, you’re beautiful.” He took in her full breasts, her rounded middle and her wide hips. She had thighs made for riding a man and he had every intention of settling between those thighs and taking them both to another kind of paradise.
“Do you really think so?” She looked worried, as though she expected him to think she looked anything but gorgeous to him.
“Yes. I think so and Gabe will, too.”
“Gabe!” She started to sit up. “He’s not here, too, is he?”
“No.” Luc chuckled. “It’s just you and me, darlin’.” He leaned down, pressed a small kiss against her forehead and cupped one perfect breast in his hand. He brushed the hardening nipple with his thumb as he kissed her eyes and her cheeks before finally settling his lips over her mouth.
If he’d thought he’d lived in Paradise before, he’d been wrong. Paradise was the woman in his arms, mewling her pleasure as his hands skimmed over her silky flesh.
“Make love to me, Luc. I won’t expect anything past tonight, I promise. I just want…I need you.”
“What if I want something past tonight?” he asked as he rested his forehead against hers. His breath came in harsh gasps. Never had a woman affected him the way this woman had just by existing.
He wanted to strip himself bare and take her here and now, but he had to wait. He had to know that she would at least consider accepting them as her mates. Otherwise, they would only subject her to the pain and suffering of the el calor—if what had happened in the elevator hadn’t already done so.
“I could only dream that you would want something more than a one night stand.” She laughed. “But I’ve always been realistic and I know that you have the rest of your life ahead of you. What would you want with a woman who is fast passing her prime?”
“I want to love you, to make love with you. To share you with my triad mate, Gabe, and make children with you.”
“What are you talking about?” She tried to sit up, but he had her pinned, just where he wanted her. He leaned over her, his chest pressed against her breasts, his breath fanning her ear.
“I’m talking about forever.” He shrugged. “Well…as close to forever as anyone gets, I suppose. I’m talking about a mating bond between the three of us. It’s the way we do things here.”
He stared deep into her startled violet eyes. “That is what I want. It’s what Gabe wants, as well. We want the right to love you, to protect you and to give you children. Will you give us that right?”
Nadya stared at him, her beautiful eyes wide. She blinked once, twice, and then licked her lips. Reaching up, she twisted a lock of her dark hair and he wanted to smile at her little nervous gesture, but didn’t.
Here she was, lying naked on his brand new bar and she wasn’t worried about her nudity, but rather, she worried about the fact that he wanted her for more than one night.
He’d just begun to hope that she would say yes, when her brows drew down and she grew stiff in his arms. “I don’t believe this crap.”
Chapter Thirteen
What kind of stupid woman did he think she was? Why did he insist on playing this game and saying that he wanted her for more than just sex for a night or two? She’d already said she was willing. Why didn’t he take her up on her offer?
She stifled a sob when she realized that this was his way of turning her down. He didn’t really want her, which was why he insisted that he did. It made a weird sort of sense, if she thought about it.
“I don’t know why you can’t just say you want nothing more than one night. I already told you that I understand that a man like you wouldn’t want to be stuck with someone like me. After all, how many movie stars do you see dating fat or homely women? It’s not as though some of them haven’t been attracted to big beautiful women. I’m sure they have, only the damned media won’t leave them alone about the frumpy, dumpy woman they’ve been dating. Like it’s anyone’s damned business who they fall in love with.”
She had been ready to put her clothes back on and leave, but then a mean streak she didn’t realize she had, raised its head and she smiled. “Okay. You say you and Gabe want more than one night. You say that you want me forever. Put your money where your mouth is, sugar, and prove it.”
“Then you’ll stay?”
He looked so damned hopeful, Nadya almost believed it was what he really wanted. Besides, she gave a mental shrug. If it really was what they wanted, all the better for her. She could think of a lot worse things than falling in love with two gorgeous shifters who thought she was the best thing that had ever happen to them.
“Sure. Why not?” she replied, calling his bluff. “I can think of a lot of worse things that I could do than living with two hot guys who insist I’m the most beautiful woman they’ve ever seen.”
“You won’t regret it,” he said as he started stripping his clothes off, revealing one of the hardest, beautiful male bodies that she’d ever seen. “I promise you won’t regret a minute of it.”
Her mouth dried as he unzipped his jeans and his large cock sprang free. He slid his pants down over his hard-muscled thighs, bent and pulled his boots off before stepping out of his pants. When he finally stood before her in all of his naked glory, Nadya came to realize that he’d been serious.
He wanted her forever. Gabe wanted her forever. Together, they both wanted her to stay and make a life with them. Just like her friends Milla and Alexa, she had two men who wanted her to live with them and effectively be wife to both of them.
Her face heated as she thought about what all of that meant. It meant making love with them both—at the very least, one at a time. What if they wanted to make love with her at the same time, could she do it? Would she do it?
“Tell me you haven’t changed your mind, darlin’.” Luc breathed the words against her ear.
“No.” Nadya shook her head. “I haven’t changed my mind.” She wanted this. She wanted him, even if it was for only one night. All of their tomorrows would take care of themselves. “I want you. Now.”
Reaching up, she pulled his head down to hers. Their lips met in a heated kis
s. Luc skimmed his hands over her body, heating her flesh, despite the cool air in the room. Her nipples stiffened to hard, almost painful points. Nadya sucked in a deep breath when his mouth covered one hard bud, drawing it into the moist warmth. His tongue lapped over her sensitive flesh as she moaned and writhed beneath him.
One strong hand slid down her torso to the junction of her thighs. His fingers slipped through her slick folds. Her body hummed, blossoming with every stroke of his fingers against her flesh.
The attraction and sexual tension between them was different—something new. It was stronger than anything she’d ever felt before. What if there was something to this thing the others told her about? What if there was such a thing as a pre-destined mate and she was a mate to both Luc and Gabriel?
Her body hummed with need and she couldn’t wait for him to drive his cock deep inside her over and over until she screamed. Being near the two handsome studs made her horny beyond belief and, though it made her feel like a dirty old woman, she wanted them both with a flood of carnal sensations that shocked her.
Cool air kissed her skin when he pulled away and stared down at her. The expression in his eyes was so intense, goose bumps covered every inch of her body. He wanted her. He really wanted her. It was obvious to her now.
His pupils were dilated. His eyes hooded and glassy, proved his arousal. “You’re so beautiful.” Reaching out, he brushed her shoulder, his hand sliding down over her breast, down her torso to her sex. “I can’t believe we found you.” His eyes darkened, his arousal obviously growing. “You have no idea how long we have waited to find you.”
“Later.” Leaning up on her elbow, she cupped his cheek. “You and Gabriel can tell me about it later.” Nadya smiled. “Right now, I have other things in mind.”
She did, too. Not once in the last ten years had she felt this way about another human being. Now she felt it for two. Hell, she was almost certain Luc could make her come with his kisses, alone.
Luc grinned, raised a brow and gave her a slight bow. “At your service, my lady.” Walking to the end of the bar, he grasped her thighs in strong hands and pulled her toward him, until her butt rested on the edge, her legs dangling off the end. “But first, I’m going to rock your world.”
Chapter Fourteen
Luc stared at his mate’s startled expression. Her feet rested on the end of the bar, her knees parted just enough to see her beautiful face and astonishingly violet eyes between her legs.
“Um…I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
“Why not?” He waggled his brows with a grin. “You smell delicious and I can’t wait to taste you.” She looked nervous. He couldn’t imagine why. Didn’t everyone love oral sex?
Shifting his gaze, he stared at the creamy skin of her labia peeking out from between her legs. “You wax.” He smiled, meeting her gaze. “I like it.”
She shifted, pressing her legs together. Gently, Luc reached out and cupped Nadya’s rear in his hands, lifting her toward him. Leaning forward, he took a deep breath.
Nadya smelled wonderful, that much was true. He couldn’t get enough of her sweet scent. If they lived a thousand lifetimes together, he didn’t think he would ever get enough of it, of her. She was their mate and he thanked every god he could remember for finally bringing her into his life.
Slowly, he leaned closer, gently pressing her legs apart. Once again, taking in her sweet scent with a deep inhalation, he slowly swiped his tongue over Nadya’s slick flesh.
Shifting in his hands, she groaned. “Don’t do this, Luc. I’m not ready.” Her legs parted more with no encouragement from him. Her movement belayed her last request. She might think she wasn’t ready, but her body told him otherwise.
“Why do you wish me to stop?” He gave her one long lick from bottom to top, pausing at her clit to pull it into his mouth, sucking it lightly.
Nadya bucked, her body going rigid. She groaned, her head thrashing against the hard wood of the bar.
“That doesn’t look like you really want me to stop.” He flicked her clit with his tongue. “You don’t want me to stop, do you?” He sucked her clit into his mouth, flicking it with his tongue as he continued to suck it lightly.
Slowly letting her succulent flesh slide from his lips, he looked at her. She was gorgeous with her head thrown back, her chest laboring to draw air into her lungs, her entire body quivering with the need to come. “Tell me to stop and I will.”
He wet his fingers in the cream spilling from her channel and thrust two inside her, his mouth clamping over her clit again. He fucked her with his fingers while he ruthlessly suckled her clit. He needed to make her come, to give her a climax like no other she had ever felt.
He wasn’t above using his mouth and tongue to seduce his mate. In fact, he would use every trick he knew to convince his mate she was ready for anything he could think of to bring her to orgasm again and again.
Luc sat on the barstool, his head buried between her legs. His cock throbbed, his balls tight against the base. He needed to come, to take them both to the precipice and dive back down to earth, sated. First, though, he would make his mate scream as no other man had ever done.
He sat back on his stool, taking the time to admire his mate. He loved the way the dim light shaded the contours of her wet sex. Leaning forward, he lightly ran his tongue along her smooth labia. She waxed for someone and his beast growled at the thought. Who had she sought to please?
The human in him was stronger though, and he shook his head. It didn’t matter who she sought to please before she met them. All that mattered now was that she was theirs, forever and always.
He’d never once entertained the idea that he would live in a true paradise. Now, though, he knew it was possible. This woman, this beautiful curvy woman was already the light of his life and the reason he would go on. As long as she lived, he would live to love and protect her. God help anyone who sought to harm her. If his beast had its way, they would never touch her and live.
He and Gabe agreed, there was nothing quite like a woman with plentiful curves and bountiful breasts. He couldn’t wait to settle between those succulent thighs and drive himself home—and she was home.
Using his thumbs, he spread her nether lips and ran his tongue over her quivering sex. Her clit throbbed against his tongue, hips bucking as he sucked the tight bud into the heat of his mouth and sucked. He licked up the wet slit, his tongue lapping at her body’s thick cream that slid sinuously from her empty channel.
Simultaneously, he stabbed his fingers deep and sucked hard on her clit. Nadya threw her head back against the bar with a painful-sounding thump and screamed his name.
Lithe fingers speared through his hair, pulling his face closer, deeper into her sex.
Thick, sweet cream coated his face and chin as he did his best to lap up every fragrant drop.
Nadya’s hips bucked, her body thrashing on the bar. Her legs shifted, her thighs tightening around his head as her body stiffened with the throes of yet another orgasm and she screamed his name.
Nadya lay limp on the bar, her body quivering with the aftershocks as she slowly came down. Her breath came in short, erratic pants. Her eyes remained closed, her hands resting limply at her sides.
Standing, Luc smiled down at her. “Are you ready, baby?” He hoped so, he was about to take her on the ride of her life.
Chapter Fifteen
Nadya stared up at Luc through unfocussed eyes. His face blurred before her. The warmth of his body pressed close. Her body still quivered with the aftershocks of the orgasms he gave her.
He’d known exactly what he was doing. Every touch of his fingers and tongue were designed to take her higher and higher until she finally reached the summit and her climax washed over her—a tidal wave of sensation she had no hope to control. She could only ride the wave and enjoy every earth-shattering minute of it.
She watched as he flexed his hips, the ridged muscles of his stomach flexing.
His broad chest, sprinkled with blond down, grew closer as he pulled her from the bar and into his strong arms.
His head bent, his soft hair brushing against the curve of her breast as he took her nipples into the warmth of his mouth, his tongue swirling around the tight buds as his teeth nibbled the sensitive flesh.
Cupping her rear in his hands, he lifted her over his large shaft, then lowered her slowly. His cock speared into her. The thick shaft dragged over tight muscles as he pulled her down.
Nadya screamed yet again. This time she wasn’t certain if it was from pain or pleasure. Yes, she wanted this, but it had been so damned long. Her body had grown tight from abstinence.
Slick cream slid from her channel as he picked her up again, dragging those sensitive muscles over his thick shaft. Moisture slid along her crack, down her thighs. Luc’s hips flexed. Over and over he drove into her while he pulled her body down over his. His strength amazed her. He lifted her again while he continued to fuck into her.
Sweat glistened on his body. His breath came in short, erratic pants as he continued to pound into her as hard and fast as he could.
Finally, when she thought she had died and gone to heaven, Nadya snaked her arms around his shoulders. She wrapped her legs around Luc’s waist and began to ride, pulling him deeper and deeper inside her until the strange, pleasure-pain drove her to another mind-numbing orgasm.
Luc growled against her breast. His eyes glowed slightly in the dim light of the room as his thrusts grew faster, more erratic. He was close. She could tell. Her lips curved slightly as she flexed her inner muscles, tightened her grip on the length of his shaft and screamed.
