Shelly moaned softly. The feel of Max’s teeth on her neck made her wolf chuff with happiness. She could feel the need of her wolf to claim both of her men again. Her wolf also needed to be claimed. She agreed with her wolf completely.
Shelly shrieked in surprise as she found herself being lifted by Max. She couldn’t help but laugh as he spun her and placed her in the middle of their bed. The covers had already been pulled down, by whom, Shelly had no idea, and she didn’t care. Her men were working together to love her. She was more than good with that.
As Max settled her in their bed, she smiled up at him, turning to look at Eli and sighing at the look of complete love that was displayed on his face. Both of her men radiated with happiness. It was something that made her count her blessings. They forgave her. They still wanted her. They were going to complete the mating ritual again, and she was going to make sure that this time, it was forever.
“Martha gave me something that we’ll need,” she told them, pointing to the bedside table and laughing softly. “When she gave it to me, I had no hope that I would ever use it again.”
Max turned and reached to open the drawer of the nightstand, laughing softly as he pulled out the bottle of lube from it and set it beside the pillow where Shelly’s head rested. He leaned forward and kissed her slowly, loving the way Shelly immediately wrapped her arms around him and held him tightly.
When he ended the kiss and pulled back to look down at her, he was pleased to see the satisfied and happy expression on her face. He missed this. He missed her.
“Martha also gave me some more ointment for after our mating,” she told them, blushing lightly. “Will you take care of me afterward?”
“Afterward and forever,” Eli promised for both of them.
“I promise you forever, too,” Shelly told them both. “I want us to be together—always.”
“And cubs?” Max asked softly.
“And cubs,” Shelly agreed, smiling up at both of her sweet wolves. “Mother Fate told me we were going to have five cubs.”
“She did?” Eli asked, stunned by the revelation.
“Yes, but we don’t have to have five if you’d rather just stop at the three that we saw in our vision,” Shelly offered honestly. “Allison, Matthew, and Luke are beautiful. I think we’ll be more than happy with our little family.”
Max covered her body with his, kissing her lips, her neck, and her shoulder before nuzzling against her neck so he could whisper against her ear. “We’ll start with the three, and add to our family as soon as we see that you’re healthy enough to carry again,” he told her.
“I’m healthy,” Shelly protested. “Eli, tell Max I’m healthy.”
“Sorry, sweetheart,” Eli said, shaking his head as he leaned forward and kissed her cheek lightly. “I’m with Max on this. We’re going to take this slow. We just got you back. We’re not going to put you at risk.”
“I’m not at risk,” Shelly protested. “You guys worry too much.”
Both Eli and Max covered Shelly with their bodies, pressing against her and holding her still beneath them. Shelly saw the emotions that were clear on their faces. She saw their concern, she saw their determination, and she saw their love. How could she argue with them?
“Okay, we’ll take it slow,” she agreed. “I just want to love you both. That’s all.”
Max kissed her, taking his time to enjoy her flavor and her tenderness. He felt her sigh against his lips and smiled at her joy. He felt Eli nuzzling against her should and knew that his triad partner was kissing his mating mark. Eli was just as anxious as he was to reclaim their woman.
Kissing his way down Shelly’s body, he teased the hardened peak of her left nipple, drawing it into his mouth and suckling with a strength that made Shelly moan. Releasing his prize, he kissed the underside of her breast, pressing his nose against the fullness of it before continuing his journey downward.
Shelly spread her legs for him, allowing his shoulders to spread them even wider. She moaned softly as he settled her thighs on his shoulders and carefully spread her lips with gentle fingers. He leaned forward and licked at her waiting channel, sucking against it firmly and drinking in the wetness of her desire that was already pooled there.
When he latched onto her clit, her hips rose with a snap, but he anchored her firmly with his large hands as he spanned her hips. Eli gathered her into his arms and claimed her mouth in a kiss so carnal, she couldn’t think beyond the love and the need. She was overwhelmed with the emotions that were coursing through her. The love she had for her men, and the intense need she had to reconnect with them, was almost blinding in its intensity.
Her orgasm took her by surprise, her entire body jolting with the pleasure that Max gave her. She began to shake with uncontrolled aftershocks. She moaned softly against Eli’s lips. He gentled his kisses and held her. She was unable to do anything but tremble. Reaching down, she slid the fingers of her right hand through Max’s dark hair, gripping it tightly as she tugged insistently to pull him away from her too-sensitive clit.
His growls told her he was not happy about being pulled away from his source of enjoyment, but she couldn’t stand another moment of stimulation. He kissed his way up her torso, pressing against her neck and humming with satisfaction that he had pleased her.
“You did good, Max,” she told him, smiling weakly at him. She couldn’t help but feel pleased by the immediate grin that came to his lips. His hazel eyes poured love into her soul.
She felt his hard shaft nudging at her entrance and moved slightly to allow him to slip inside of her. She was touched by the way he took his time easing into her, rocking gently until he was seated to the hilt. She was stretched deliciously. Every nerve ending within her body fired with pleasure. She turned her head and looked at Eli as he held her against his chest. The gentle smile on his face made her heart flutter.
“I need you, too, Eli,” she told him softly.
“I need you, sweetheart,” he answered without hesitation.
Pulling away until he was on his knees beside them, Eli helped her to sit up, allowing Max to slide her up onto the incline of his thighs. Shelly moaned with pleasure as Max’s cock slid deeper inside of her because of the new position. He held her tightly against his chest, keeping her still while Eli settled on his knees behind her.
“She’s wet for us, Eli,” Max told him, his voice deep with desire.
Shelly whimpered softly as Eli pressed lube inside of her. The need to have them both inside of her at that moment almost made her claw at both men. Her wolf was snapping at her to hurry the mating. Shelly was in complete agreement with her wolf. She needed her men to claim her once again. She needed to belong. She needed to love them and show them that they were her sweet wolves forever.
“Please,” she whispered.
“I have you, baby,” Max told her as he gently petted her hair and held her face against his neck. “Eli needs to prepare you. We won’t hurt you.”
“Just a little more lube, sweetheart,” Eli promised as he pressed more of the fluid deep inside of her. Her soft whimpers of need were driving him crazy. It was apparent that she needed this just as much as he and Max did.
He poured a line of lube along his erect shaft, fisting it to spread the slick over his length. He was so primed to love Shelly, he hissed at the contact. Reaching down, he gripped his sac and pulled down to keep himself from coming. He rested his forehead against the back of her neck and breathed deeply to calm himself. It didn’t work. Her scent filled him and sent his need skyrocketing.
“Shelly,” he whispered against her neck, kissing it lightly as he fought for control.
Shelly reached behind her with her left hand and gripped Eli’s side, pulling him closer. She felt him pressing his hips beneath her as she sat on Max’s thighs and sighed as she felt the head of his cock pressing deep. She rocked back and forth slowly, helping him to slip in deeper alongside Max’s shaft.
The low growls of her sweet wolves fil
led the bedroom as the loving connection was made and both men were pressed deep inside of her. She panted softly, closing her eyes and allowing her body to open to them. The joy of having them both within her was complete. There was no more perfect moment that they could have shared. To have waited so many years to repeat this act of love was something that she would fight hard to accept and forgive herself for. For now, there was just Max and Eli, and the beautiful love that they were making.
She reached up and held onto Max’s shoulders, using them as an anchor as she raised herself up and slowly lowered her body down onto her men, taking them even deeper than before. She felt them matching her movements and filling her as only they would ever do. The love and the connection were destined. She felt the emotions within their souls as they were filled with joy.
White ribbons of their bonding wrapped around the three of them as they moved to the dance of love. Shelly could feel the strength of the ribbons even stronger than before. She was amazed by the white and blue sparks that suddenly surrounded them and filled the room with light and color. She wasn’t going to question it. It was obvious to her that their union was being blessed beyond what any mated triad had ever experienced before.
Eli moved his hips to pump up inside of their woman, closing his eyes and giving himself over to the feeling of her heat and wetness. His entire body was wound tight. The pressure of Shelly’s body gripping his cock was incredible. The way she moved her body to take him and Max deeper with each plunge made his heart race as pleasure pinged through him.
Max held Shelly’s hips tightly, certain that she was going to have marks on her delicate skin but unable to hold back his need to keep her close. His heart raced as his body pushed toward orgasm. Loving their woman was beyond any dream, any hope, or any memory that he had held close in his heart. Her body was made for them. He loved her curves, he loved her strength, and he loved her giving nature. Their little omega was more than perfect. She was exquisite. Pumping deeper, he could feel it when he touched the mouth of her womb. His wolf urged him to claim and to breed. He had no ability to deny him.
Shelly’s breathing sped up as her men loved her, pushing deeper with each surge. The girth of their shafts filled her completely. Each push and retreat made the nerve endings in her body sing with pleasure. The sudden need to bite and claim overwhelmed her. Her canines dropped, her eyes shifted, and her wolf took over. Shelly wasn’t about to deny what was destined to be. They had both waited long enough to have their two wolves again.
Rubbing her cheek against Max’s neck, she breathed in his scent and growled. Mate. Opening her mouth, she bit into the flesh of his pectoral muscle to mark him over the existing claiming mark. His blood filled her mouth and she drank greedily. Her wolf howled with pleasure. Her channel clenched as her orgasm burst through her, gripping both of her men’s shafts and demanding that they fill her with their life-giving seed.
Max grunted as she bit into his chest, his cock erupting at the claiming. He gripped her tighter, unable to do anything but hold on as his body was swept away on a tide of pleasure and happiness. She was theirs again. Soon, she would be carrying—a possibility that he hoped would soon be a fact. His canines dropped and he bit into her left shoulder, marking her, claiming her, and biting deep to draw her blood into his mouth. His mating mark would be forevermore on her shoulder, and she would be forevermore within his heart.
Eli growled against Shelly’s shoulder as she gripped his hair and pulled on it with strength that proved the worth of her wolf. His canines burst through his gums and he bit into her right shoulder, his cock pulsing with his release as her body tightened around his shaft and pulled every bit of seed from him.
Their cocks knotted and held firm, trapping their semen deep inside of her to give their cub a chance to begin. They licked at their mating bites to seal the punctures then rested against their woman as all three of them fought to catch their breaths. The rapid beating of their hearts began to slowly return to normal.
You guys are going to kill me with orgasms, Shelly told them breathlessly through their link.
The pleasure that raced through both men in that moment when they heard her voice in their minds again was indescribable. Their bond had been repaired. They were truly mated once more.
You’re never going to leave us again, Max told her firmly. We will hunt you down and drag you back here if you even try.
Shelly’s sweet laughter filled their minds. It did a lot to soothe their worries, but they still needed her promise. Neither man would survive if she ever left them again.
I’m not going anywhere, Shelly promised. I love you both. We’re a family again, and I’m never going to give that up. No one will ever make me go away. Our babies are waiting to be born.
We’re going to love getting you pregnant, Eli whispered through their link as he kissed her shoulder, dragging his tongue across his mating mark and smiling with satisfaction when she experienced a full-body shiver.
Shelly smiled at his declaration. She wanted that with them. She wanted a family that they would raise together. That was definitely going to be their future, but right now, her wolf was agitated. It needed to do one more thing.
Max and Eli held her between them, gently caressing her body and placing slow kisses along her shoulders, neck, and face as they waited for their knots to recede. They could feel the agitation in Shelly’s wolf and were worried. It took a few minutes for their wolves to relax and the mating knot to release. The claiming had been completed, but neither man wanted to pull out of their woman.
The men knew that they still had to take care of her and soothe her with their tongues and the ointment that Martha had given her. It was something that they wanted to do for her and share with her. It made the intimacy of their relationship that much more special. Both men were looking forward to the more intimate aspects of their life together, including helping her birth their babies.
“Shelly, baby, are you okay?” Max asked her as he slowly pulled from her body, glad when she remained pliant between him and Eli.
“Sweetheart, did we hurt you?” Eli asked, concerned when she immediately tensed when his cock slid free from her body.
Shelly turned in an instant so that she faced Eli. Her eyes were completely golden and she was growling softly as she looked at him. The heat in her eyes told him that her wolf was stepping forward to remedy the situation.
Shelly lunged and pushed Eli backward so that he bounced against the mattress and lay flat on his back. She covered him quickly and bit into his chest, claiming him once again and drawing in his blood to seal the mating. Eli growled and shot more seed as their woman laid claim to him.
He wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly against his chest as she completed the bonding. When she finally ended her claiming bite, removed her canines from his chest muscle, and licked him gently to close the puncture wounds, he sighed in contentment.
“Good job, sweetheart,” he told her proudly. “Now that we’ve all reclaimed each other, nothing and no one will ever break us apart again.”
“Damn right!” Shelly said angrily.
Both Max and Eli couldn’t help but laugh as they settled her securely between them and took their places on either side of her. Max pulled the blankets over the three of them and smiled smugly when Shelly pulled them both closer to her. It seemed that their little wolf couldn’t stand to have any distance between them. He was completely fine with that.
“We need to take care of you, sweetheart,” Eli whispered as Shelly snuggled against him and tugged at Max to get him to move even closer to her.
“Later,” Shelly whispered. “I just want you to hold me. I’ve been without you for so long, I don’t care about anything but having you hold me.”
“We’ll always hold you, baby,” Max whispered, overcome with emotions at Shelly’s heartfelt words.
“Are you sure we’re not suffocating you?” Eli asked as Shelly tugged at both of them until they were lying across her shou
lders and their arms were wrapped firmly around her torso.
“I like you just like this,” Shelly told them firmly. “We may have to adjust it a little when I’m pregnant, but I’m good with it exactly like this.”
“I think our little wolf wants to have a baby, Max,” Eli said quietly as he looked down at their mate tenderly.
“No, I don’t,” Shelly stopped him.
“You don’t?” Max whispered, hurt and disappointment warring within him.
“No. I don’t want to have a baby. I want to have your baby,” Shelly clarified.
Max kissed her lips lightly, easing back to look down at her as she smiled up at him. Eli nuzzled against her cheek then kissed her slowly, whispering against her temple.
What did you say, Eli? Max asked him through their link so that Shelly wouldn’t hear him.
I told her that we’re going to love watching her bloom with our cub, Eli answered as he looked at Max and smiled. I want us to get her pregnant right away, Max. I want us to have that family that we saw in our visions.
So do I, Max agreed. We’ll talk to her about it in the morning. Hopefully, she’ll be open to it.
I hope so. Eli’s voice held promise, but it also held worry. She’s just come back to us. Maybe we should give her time before we start our family.
We’ll only be able to make that decision when we talk to her, Eli. We have to be up-front with our feelings. She has a right to know what we’re thinking and what we want, just as we should know what she’s thinking. She’s our mate. We’re a triad. What one wants should be respected by all three of us.
She’s the center of our life and our family, Eli vowed, unable to keep the happiness he had from spilling forth and surrounding the three of them.
Shelly smiled softly, her eyes closed as she felt the love of her men washing over her. Her wolves thought she couldn’t hear their words as they spoke to each other, but she could.
Thank you, Mother Fate, she whispered softly in her mind. Thank you for giving me back my sweet wolves.
