Pepper's Journey Home [Grey River 9] (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour)

by Maia Dylan

  When Tomas withdrew, then pressed in once more, she moaned. She’d taken Tomas the night before, but in this position, he seemed bigger and rubbed against that spot deep within her that made her shake when he reached it. Every thrust had him pressing against it, igniting bursts of pleasure that had her rushing toward her release at a frightening speed.

  Determined to take Diego and Tomas with her, she clamped down on her own responses as best she could, and concentrated on driving Diego crazy. She knew from the clench of his fingers, his curses, and the tremors that would shudder through him exactly the movements he found most pleasurable. She had added her hands to his cock when she found him too big to take completely, and he seemed to love it when she twisted her hand tightly around the base of his shaft. Flattening her tongue, she pressed it hard against the underside of his cock as she pulled back, adding suction to the move. When she reached the head, she whirled her tongue around the outside before flicking it across the slit at the top.

  “Fuuuuck!” Diego cried out, and she tasted the salty essence that leaked steadily from the tip. “Baby, cariño, you need to pull back. If you don’t—madre de dios!—baby, I can’t stop, I’m gonna—Pepper!”

  She felt his cock swell a moment before the evidence of his release shot into her mouth. She pulled back slightly so she could take it all comfortably but maintained the movement of her hand to enhance his pleasure. As soon as he relaxed, his body no longer straining or jolting beneath her, she released him, dragging in a deep breath that released on a shout as Tomas began to move harder within her.

  “That’s it, Pepper,” Tomas crooned behind her. “Damn, baby, I can feel you tightening down on me. Fuck. So hot!”

  Somewhere in the pleasure-addled brain that registered, and she tightened her inner muscles against him as he went to withdraw from her. Tomas cursed loudly, and the syncopated rhythm he had been using changed until he was slamming into her, over and over, taking her exactly how she wanted him to. She keened her pleasure as he continued to drive her mindlessly toward her orgasm. She tried to tighten against him one more time, but his pace was too fast, and then she could do nothing more than cling to Diego, throw back her head, and scream her release out loud.

  She lost control of her body as she shuddered and shook beneath the onslaught of the pleasure that washed over her. She heard Tomas roar her name and felt him shudder against her, the heat of his release sparking more tiny explosions with her. Diego continued to stroke his hands up and down her back, murmuring to her the entire time.

  She must have zoned out for a moment after that because when she lifted her head to look around her, she was cuddled against Tomas’s chest, with Diego leaning against her back. The two of them surrounding her completely.

  “I don’t think I ever thanked you both,” Pepper said in a voice that was slightly raspy, no doubt due to all the shouting she had been doing. “You brought me back from the dark and have shown me a life with light in it.”

  Tomas leaned back so he could stare into her face. “Pepper, you are everything for Diego and me. We will always bring you back.”

  Diego chuckled from behind her. “Even if you don’t want to be.”

  Pepper smiled. “I can’t think of a time when I wouldn’t want to come back to you, so we should be fine.” As soon as she said that, she felt something cold travel down her spine, and she frowned. Was that a sign of something to come? Diego sighed and snuggled closer as he slid his hand down over her ass, driving heat through her core. When she shivered again, she figured she was just overly sensitive to the movements and touch of her mates. And who could blame her? She closed her eyes as Tomas began his own underwater exploration of her body and gave herself over to the sensation of being loved on by her mates.

  Chapter Fourteen

  “What is it like when your mates take you at the same time?” Pepper blurted out, and all talk and movement around her stopped.

  She bit her lip as three heads turned in her direction. Melaina, Parris, and Rowena stared at her in shock. They were all sitting in the café at Coffee and Quills, the coffee shop Angel ran within Rowena’s bookstore, and the question had been plaguing Pepper ever since Tomas raised it a few nights ago. She figured now was as good a time as any to ask.

  “Damn, Pepper,” Melaina said in a lowered tone. “You certainly pick your moments.” Melaina turned to surreptitiously look around the café that had been quite busy when they stepped in, but they were now the only ones there. Pepper had timed her question for when they were alone. Except for Angel, and from the look on her face, she had overheard from where she stood at the counter getting them some more cake.

  “It’s only us,” Pepper defended as heat swept into her face. “We can talk to each other about anything. Your words, not mine.”

  Laina nodded, reaching out hand to place it on her arm. “And you can, Pep. I promise. I was just a little taken aback by your question is all.”

  Rowena grinned as she reached for her coffee mug. “I am really looking forward to how you answer this, Melaina.”

  Pepper turned to look at the doctor with a frown. “The question is for all of you, as I assume that double penetration is something enjoyed in most triad couplings.” All four women in the café seemed to blush. “And for you, Rowena, I see an extra appendage in your marriage and must admit to wondering what you do with that in the heat of the moment.”

  Her timing was impeccable. Rowena choked on the coffee she had just sipped, and the others laughed, easing some of the discomfort. Pepper wasn’t sure why they would feel discomfort—she felt certain the question was justified.

  “How you gonna answer that one, Doc?” Laina asked with amusement in her tone.

  “Should I not have asked?” Pepper asked in a small voice. She was still getting used to these social settings. It would be quite easy for her to say something inappropriate and simply not see it.

  Parris leaned forward. “No, Pepper, not at all. We are your sisters, and we will answer any questions you might have.” Parris looked around the table, and Melaina, Rowena, and now Angel, who had joined them, all nodded in agreement. “So, Melaina, answer our sister’s question.”

  Melaina rolled her eyes at the obvious hospital pass, but turned to face Pepper. “For the purposes of this discussion, and in fear of a mother’s coffee group or children walking into the café, I think we need to find a code word.”

  “How about double chocolate cake?” Angel suggested, her eyes twinkling. “It’s a little play on words, but I think it is more than appropriate in this case.”

  “Okay, that works,” Melaina said with a laugh. “Double chocolate cake it is. Pepper, for the buttercream filling in the perfect double chocolate cake, the sensation of being pressed between two moist—”

  “Eww,” Rowena said with a pained look on her face. “Please do not use that word when talking about, um, cake. I hate when authors use it in romance books when referencing cake.”

  “Read what?” They startled a little at Faith’s question. She had walked up to them from the side, coming in from the kitchen.

  “The word ‘moist’ in a romance book,” Angel said as she waved a hand. “We’re just getting to the good part of Melaina’s speech. Let her finish, and I’ll summarize it for you in a minute.” Faith shrugged but nodded and slid into the booth with the rest of them.

  Melaina thought about that for a moment and then nodded. “Fair call, so I will reword. For the buttercream filling in the perfect double chocolate cake, the sensation of being pressed between two perfectly formed and loving slices of decadence is like nothing it’s ever experienced before.” While everyone was staring at them, Pepper was the only one who caught Faith’s expression that said she was confused as fuck.

  Angel was nodding enthusiastically. “The buttercream feels every crumb of the cake pressed against it, and it feels safe, and cherished, and loved.”

  “And yes,” Rowena added, “for some of us who are lucky enough to find themselves with a tr
iple-layered double chocolate cake, we find inventive ways to ensure every slice of that cake is shown the same love and attention from the buttercream. Where there is a will?” Rowena winked at her with a wicked smile. “There is a way.”

  To Pepper that made sense. The few occasions she had been with her mates, she had been determined that both of them were as satisfied as she was.

  “As long as the buttercream is prepared properly,” Melaina continued, “then the double chocolate cake is magical. Overwhelming at times but in the most delicious way.”

  Pepper thought she might know exactly what Melaina was saying about preparation. She had read about it in some of the erotic novels she had read. The lovers who were about to take the ass of the other would always prepare them first, to limit the pain and enhance the pleasure of the act.

  “Oh, for fuck’s sake!” Faith said, throwing her hands in the air. “I thought you had all gone fucking fruit loop crazy. I was starting to wonder if you’d all decided to write a damn recipe book. Hell, even I was tempted to jump in that kitchen and get baking. But I’ve finally worked it all out. Our girl Pepper has come to you to ask you about what it is to take our men at the same time, but you guys wimped out on the straight talk and started talking about baked goods.”

  Faith shook her head at the women around the table, who all shrugged in answer.

  Faith sighed and leaned forward to talk to Pepper. “Pepper, my friend, sex between a woman and her mates, the men the very Fates had deemed you worthy of, is the most spectacular thing in the world. It is only natural then, that when you have them both within you at the same time, that feeling is enhanced. Imagine how you feel when you are with Diego one on one.”

  Pepper smiled at the thought of her sensual, playful mate. When he loved on her, she felt so thoroughly taken she struggled to see where she ended and he began.

  “And now think about how it is to be with Tomas.”

  Pepper inhaled as she imagined being with her more dominant wolf. He claimed her completely. He would push her to what she considers her limits, but then show her that that was only the beginning.

  “And for the kicker, imagine what it would be like to have all of that at the same damn time.”

  Pepper gasped as her body exploded with sensation. She almost damn near came at the thought alone. She wouldn’t survive. Would she? She looked around at the women who were all now grinning at her as if she’d just worked out the secret of life and they had known it all along.

  “Now, Pepper,” Faith said as she sat back, plucking a cookie from the pile in the center of the table. “I trust you get what all the fuss is about now?” Pepper nodded, her mouth still a little too dry to speak. “Good, and I am also assuming that if you are wanting answers to any questions, you will come to your Alpha female who knows all and can articulate it a hell of a lot better than this lot!”

  Pepper laughed over the protests of her friends, but in all honesty, Faith would be her first call from now on when she had any questions.

  * * * *

  Diego looked up as someone strode into the office he and Tomas had set up in the sheriff’s department. After they had started on that list of rogues for Ty and Trent, it became obvious that there were more than just a handful of names. Ty asked them to start files on each and every rogue and to start compiling as much information on them as possible. They had roped in a few Enforcer friends who were a little more tech savvy than they were, and the files were soon filling with information. Their aim was that eventually they would have a complete dossier on each of them.

  “I need you to start a new file,” Ty all but growled, and Diego could feel the Alpha’s dominance swelling in the room.

  He tilted his head to the side. “Of course, Alpha. Who is this person that has you so riled up? I am assuming he is a corpse on legs and just doesn’t know it yet.”

  Trent, who had stepped in behind his brother, laid a hand on Ty’s shoulder, and the pressure ebbed slightly.

  “At this stage, he is just a person of interest. If he becomes anything further, then it will not be us who will be ripping him a new asshole,” Ty said, a distinct snarl in his tone. “Only because Jack and Maurice would be geographically closer to the fucker than me.”

  Diego shared a quick look with Tomas. “So I am guessing that this has something to do with Sophia?”

  Ty’s answer was to growl. “Yes.”

  Trent sighed and moved past his brother to sit in one of the spare chairs in the room. “You have to forgive my brother. I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but he can be rather quick-tempered.” Now that was a fucking understatement. “It would appear that our little sister has made a new friend at OKC, and Ty is not a happy camper.”

  Ty cursed. “Not a friend. She is going out on a date with him. A fucking date! With a man.”

  Tomas laughed at Ty’s obvious distress, but stopped when Ty leaned down into his face and growled low. “Fuck, Ty,” Tomas groaned in pain at the pressure Ty built around him, and he turned his head to the left in submission. “No offense, Alpha. It just seems that Sophia is twenty, and if she’s dating, then that’s normal and healthy and all good.”

  Trent laughed as he leaned in again and pushed Ty. “It is, and this fucker knows it. He’s just not happy that he hasn’t been able to meet the guy and suitably threaten him with dismemberment before he gets anywhere with Sophia.”

  Ty started to pace. “And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.” He paused and pointed a finger at Tomas. “And if you think I’m taking it badly, you should see her mates.”

  Diego grimaced at that. Jack and Maurice would not take too kindly to another man spending time with their mate. Hell, no shifter would sit by and allow that to happen.

  “But they are allowing her to go,” Trent answered, and Diego jolted in shock. What the ever-loving fuck? “They had been spending time with her, and from what I’ve been told, things were going well. Then one of the boys stuck his foot in his mouth.” Diego would be willing to bet money on that being Maurice. “Sophia got her back up, and is now insisting that she is going on that date, and if they show up or she senses them anywhere near her that night, she would renounce their mating and do everything she can to sever that bond.”

  Diego felt sympathy for his friends. Jack and Maurice had come to Grey River to check in with their bosses, Hunter and Dane. The Quickening hit for them both the minute they met Sophia. Then they had to deal with the shock of not only finding their mate, but also discovering that she was related to Ty and Trent. Learning about how their mate had suffered at the hands of that insane cult leader Jonas Parks had almost been too much for them. He knew exactly what that felt like.

  “So, you want us to run a background check on this guy and then go deliver that dismemberment message?” Tomas asked.

  “Yes!” Ty growled.

  “No!” Trent yelled at the same time, as he leaped up from the chair crossed the room and punched his brother in the stomach. Ordinarily something like that would have triggered one of Ty’s rages, but when the man simply took it and glared at Trent, Diego figured it something he did regularly.

  “Sophia will never forgive us if we get involved,” Trent snapped. “Not to mention the fact that Faith will ban you from our bed for the next year if you do.”

  Ty cursed and resumed pacing, running his fingers through his hair. “So what, we simply sit back and allow some guy we’ve never met to take our sister out, which might potentially lead to her fated mates committing homicide?”

  Trent sighed. “No, that is not what I’m saying and certainly not what I think we should do.” Trent turned from his brother to look at Diego and Tomas. “I need to ask you both a favor. Would you be willing to take your mate to Oklahoma City for a couple of nights? If you were to perhaps get close enough to the man dating my sister, and Pepper was to accidentally get a read on the guy and see what his intentions are, then that would be purely coincidental. We can’t send any other pack members as most are know
n to Sophia. The girls sure as hell are, but Pepper was in hospital when she came to visit last. She will also have our mom scanning the streets for any possible movements so we have to be seen in this town on that night, and I wouldn’t put it past our mother to plan some kind of family dinner to ensure that Ty and I stay in town.”

  Ty grinned as he stepped up to Trent and pounded him on the back. A move that would have put most men on the ground. “Fuck, you sneaky bastard, I should have known you had a plan.”

  Trent shook his head at his brother. “Of course I do. And it’s a plan that you would have come up with, too, if you weren’t such a hotheaded asshole.”

  Ty shrugged in a way that suggested he was completely at ease with his brother’s assessment.

  “What do you think?” Diego asked his brother.

  “Niña,” Tomas asked down their link, and Diego grinned, loving that their mate was always available to them. “Diego and I have to go to Oklahoma City to spy on some kid who’s making moves on Ty’s sister. You in?”

  Diego caught their mate’s amusement along their bond. “Of course. I’m trained for this spying thing you know.”

  Diego looked up at his Alphas and grinned. “Our mate is in, so when do you want us to leave?”

  Ty clapped his hands and then rubbed them together with glee. “Today. Apparently, Sophia didn’t want to give us too much time to put any plans together, and she is getting together with the douche tomorrow night.”

  After warning their mate that they’d be hitting the road later that day, he and Tomas stood up and collected their things. “What about those bear shifters you talked about being there? Do they know we are heading up?”

  “Not yet, but they will,” Trent advised.

  “I’ll call Seth and let him know what’s happening.” Ty strode out of the office looking a shitload calmer than he had when he walked in a few minutes ago.

  “How is Jack and Maurice handling all this?” Tomas asked as the three of them shut the office and locked up behind them.
