“Tommy. Fuck, that feels so good!”
Jeremy moaned his mate’s name and threaded his hand through the thick, long hair. This was what he had wanted, from the very first moment he had seen Tommy.
His mate sucked him hungrily, moving up and down on his shaft, his pleasure in what he was doing obvious, which inflamed Jeremy even more.
He didn’t attempt to guide Tommy with his hands, just watched the way his cock disappeared between Tommy’s lips and inside his mouth. Nothing had ever looked so good or more erotic. He was going to blow in mere minutes.
Natalia returned and stood watching them, her eyes trained on Tommy.
“That looks so hot, Tommy.”
He stopped and looked up at Jeremy, his normally green eyes almost completely yellow.
“You taste really good.”
Jeremy ran a finger along his mate’s jaw and smiled down on him. He couldn’t wait anymore, and if Tommy kept sucking him, he would come in the pup’s mouth.
“Kneel on the bed, and make Natalia come with your mouth. I need to fuck you.”
Tommy nodded and stood, his shoulders visibly shaking.
Natalia ran across the room with an excited squeal and jumped onto the bed. She turned onto her back and spread her legs as he had asked. Such a good girl. Sometimes. The thought made Jeremy smile, relieving some of his tension.
Tommy crawled onto the bed slowly and dropped a kiss onto Natalia’s belly. Jeremy watched the affection between them and ached to be a part of it. Tommy turned and looked over his shoulder.
“We’re waiting.”
Jeremy laughed and poured some more lube into his hands, coating his own cock with copious amounts of moisture. He loved their reliance on him and their easy acceptance of his dominant nature.
He moved over to the bed and knelt behind Tommy, whose knees were together. How was he meant to enter him like that?
He slid his hands over Tommy’s tight, warm ass cheeks. So hot!
“Open up for me, Tommy.”
Tommy opened his legs a little, but his pelvis was tucked under. He also wasn’t pleasuring Natalia yet.
He was scared, and Jeremy knew he had to fix that. If they were going to stay together—and Jeremy hoped to God they would—he couldn’t have Tommy afraid of intimacy with him.
He slapped Tommy’s ass hard, and the pup yelped. Jeremy ran his hand over Tommy’s lower back, waiting for the tension to dissipate.
“Smell Natalia’s pussy, Tommy. She wants us, badly. Lick her, taste her, make her come.”
Natalia looked up at him, and he winked. She smiled, grabbed Tommy’s head and pulled him closer with a moan. “Oh please, Tommy.”
Tommy’s whole body relaxed as he leaned forward and began to lick her slit.
Natalia gasped and arched her back. “Oh yes, just there, Tommy.”
She looked up at Jeremy, silver eyes twinkling and nodded.
Grateful for the help, Jeremy opened up Tommy’s ass cheeks and set his cock to the hole that would soon enclose him. This was taboo, forbidden in many countries and communities. Yet he couldn’t think of any other way of loving this man so completely.
Tommy pushed back against him, and Jeremy pushed the head of his cock inside. Tommy screamed and dropped his head down on to the bed.
“Fuck, that hurts.”
Jeremy ran his hands up and down Tommy’s spine, the soft skin slick with sweat. He rocked his hips, pushing further and further into the tight hole.
“Relax for me. You feel so good, Tommy.”
Some of the tension went out of Tommy’s back muscles, so Jeremy kept talking.
“I wanted to do this the moment I first saw you, pup. In the meeting square. You have the tightest, hottest ass. My cock’s in heaven.”
Tommy settled into the position further, opening his legs, tilting his pelvis and moaning. Then he went back to licking Natalia.
Jeremy bit his lip in an attempt not to growl in pleasure. Never had he felt such a thing, except maybe his first thrust into Natalia last night. His tiger was circling his human, ready to pounce and take over. But he couldn’t let it happen, and there was no one to stop him shifting this time. He had to control himself.
Tommy lifted a hand and threaded his fingers through Jeremy’s fingers that held his hip.
Jeremy stared at that symbol of support and connection. His mate knew exactly what he needed. And what he needed was them.
“Thank you, Tommy,” he whispered before he started to really move.
He pushed down on Tommy’s back and began thrusting harder and faster. The race to completion had begun.
Natalia gripped the bars on her bed-head and arched her back, her full breasts jutting above her. “Oh my God, don’t stop.”
Jeremy lay down on top of his mate and moved deeper. He placed a hand either side of Natalia’s thighs, and leaning around Tommy, he bit into her.
She screamed. “I’m coming!” And she began to tremble, her moans almost drowning out Tommy’s own howl of pleasure at feeling and tasting her cum.
“Your turn, my mate.” Jeremy growled into his Tommy’s ear, and he bit down on Tommy’s shoulder.
Tommy jerked hard and put a hand up to hold Jeremy’s head to him. Jeremy would have laughed if he hadn’t been so caught up in his own desperate race to climax. Tommy didn’t need to hold him there; he wasn’t going anywhere.
Jeremy moved one of his hands under Tommy and began tugging on his hard cock, desperate now to make sure Tommy enjoyed this as much as he was.
“Come for me, my lover.”
Tommy roared and came, hot seed spurting over Jeremy’s hand. Tommy’s tight ass squeezed in time with his orgasm, and Jeremy lost it. His balls tightened with exquisite pressure, and he knew he was seconds away from exploding.
He fucked his mate harder and faster, riding the spasms until he, too, came, deep inside Tommy. White lights flashed before his eyes as his brain seemed to implode from the sheer pleasure of it.
“Oh fuck.” Tommy shuddered beneath him, and Jeremy put his second hand back on the bed, in danger of collapsing on top of Tommy. Every bit of his strength had been drained as his seed was shared with his second mate.
Jeremy withdrew and rolled, taking Tommy with him.
He was panting, covered in sweat, yet Jeremy had never felt more sated or complete in his life. What an incredible experience.
“Are you all right, Tommy?” He wrapped his arms around Tommy’s heaving chest and squeezed. The pup nodded but didn’t say anything as he struggled to slow his breathing.
Panic began to filter through Jeremy. “Tommy?”
“I’m fine.” Tommy whispered, his voice strained with an obvious attempt not to cry.
Jeremy pushed Tommy flat and rolled on top of him. He looked down at his gorgeous young lover, and his heart squeezed in his chest. Tommy had his eyes shut tight, but Jeremy saw the tear tracks. “Oh my God, did I hurt you that much?”
Tommy opened his eyes, now a brilliant green.“No. It was … amazing.”
Jeremy smiled and kissed Tommy’s lips. He understood the feeling of being completely overwhelmed by this. It was certainly a surprise, but not something he considered a mistake.
Natalia moved, and Jeremy realized he was leaving her out. He crawled up the bed and lay on one of the pillows, pulling Natalia into his arms.
“I was feeling left out for a minute.” Her cute little reminder made him love her even more. Jeremy pushed the thought away for later. It wasn’t time to tell her such a thing.
Jeremy kissed her on the lips. “Never. Tommy, come here, too, and pull the blanket up.”
Tommy crawled up the bed and pulled the blanket with him. He sat up next to them, looking awkward.
Jeremy growled impatiently and pulled Tommy down on the other side. Two heads on his chest, a mate under each arm. Life was perfect.
“I don’t know how this is going to work, but we need to talk to one another. Always. If one person is feeling left out,
then we need to discuss it and find a way to make it better. All right?”
They nodded against him but didn’t say anything.
Jeremy sighed. They were both still young.
“I will care for you both, protect you both. Equally.”
Tommy looked up at him, his eyes uncertain.
“All right?” Jeremy repeated himself, staring down at his mate in an attempt to make the words stick harder.
Tommy pushed up and kissed Jeremy on the lips, so sweetly that it brought tears to Jeremy’s eyes.
Tommy moved back to his place, and Jeremy cleared his throat, emotion clogging it.
“Rest a little, and then I will speak to an elder. We will be mated today.”
Jeremy felt their identical sighs and tried to fall asleep himself, but couldn’t.
Too many things raced around in his head, the implications of having two mates, the needs of both. It was a daunting feat, especially on top of the demands of his work. He would need to look into transferring into the local council.
He had never been happier, and that scared him more than anything. What would happen to him if something happened to one of them?
He gripped them tighter. Nothing would. Ever.
Chapter Eight
Tommy had a quick shower, carefully washing his tender and sticky body. His cock had been coated in Natalia’s cream, and his ass had been filled by Jeremy’s seed. He wasn’t disturbed by either thing. It didn’t make him a lesser man. He was honored that Jeremy had chosen him.
Tommy laughed to himself and turned the water off. In his wildest dreams he may have imagined being lovers to both Natalia and Jeremy, but he had never actually believed it would come true.
“Hurry up, Tommy.”
Jeremy’s deep voice sounded through the solid wood door, and Tommy’s mouth quirked into a smile.
He would be listening to that arrogant, gorgeous, possessive male for the rest of his life, and he couldn’t wait.
He stepped out of the room, dry but naked and stared at the now dressed Natalia and Jeremy.
“What’s the rush?”
The heat emanating off both of his mates made him grin.
Jeremy stepped forward.
“The rush is our honeymoon, and if you don’t get some clothes on I may just take you again where you’re standing.”
Tommy laughed out loud and grabbed a pair of jeans out of the nearby drawers. He was quite sore, so he might need a day’s rest before he took Jeremy again. There were lots of other ways to keep his mate happy though, and he couldn’t wait to try all of them.
“I’m going to need to extend this place if we’re all going to live here. I mean…” He stopped suddenly, worried now that he had overstepped the mark. He glanced between his two lovers. Had he assumed wrong when he had thought that they would all want to live together?
Natalia stepped closer and pressed herself into Jeremy’s side.
“That sounds perfect. I love being farther away from the pack.”
Jeremy nodded also and slung an arm over Natalia’s shoulders.
“You’re an amazing carpenter, Tommy, and I’ll help you on weekends if you want me to. I like it here. You two scream so loud I wouldn’t want to scare any neighbors.”
“Hey!” Natalia tried to act affronted as she shoved at their mate, but Jeremy just kissed her soundly.
Tommy smiled and quickly pulled on a t shirt with his jeans. He had never been so content in his life “Us, Jeremy? You growl so loudly when you come, I can still hear the ringing in my ears.”
Jeremy laughed, the sound husky and beautiful. So lovely it sent goose-bumps all over Tommy’s body.
“Well, the best sex of a man’s life can do that to him.”
Tommy flushed with pleasure and saw the way Natalia also blushed at their mate’s words. He couldn’t describe how relieved he was that Jeremy had enjoyed them as much as they had enjoyed him. He had feared their lack of experience, his especially, would disappoint Jeremy. Obviously, and thankfully, it wasn’t the case.
Jeremy looked embarrassed for a moment and cleared his throat.
“Let’s go.”
They cuddled and kissed their way through the forest, breaking apart only when they first saw people emerging.
“Jeremy, how are you?”
Elijah, one of the elders stepped forward to greet his mate, and Tommy flanked him.
“I’m great actually, Eli. I was wondering if you could do me a favor?”
Elijah nodded and looked over at Natalia and then Tommy. “Of course, Jeremy.”
“Natalia has agreed to bind to both Tommy and myself, and I would like the ceremony done today if possible.”
Tommy flushed again as every person within hearing distance turned to stare at them. He didn’t really like the way Jeremy had phrased their relationship. It sounded like Natalia was their core, when really it was Jeremy who was.
Though who was he to complain? He had everything he had ever wanted.
“We can do it right now if you like? It is only a simple ceremony, though it is unusual to have more than two people.”
Jeremy stepped back between them but didn’t touch either Natalia or himself.
“I saw one or two when I was younger. I know it is allowed.”
Elijah nodded, and the people of their pack formed a circle around them.
Tommy’s parents stepped close and gave him knowing, confident smiles. They knew he had gotten what he wanted.
Tommy saw Jeremy’s parents grinning broadly, and Natalia’s mum was crying. Everyone was happy. They would have no problems.
“Step forward, Natalia, and take hold of a hand of each of your mates.”
Natalia stepped back and slipped her hand into both of their hands. Tommy felt the warmth of her skin and knew she was about to promise herself to him in every way that counted. He was humbled, yet he was determined not to let anything come between them.
“Natalia, do you swear to honor, protect, and love Tommy and Jeremy?”
She nodded, a strange rumble sounding out of her chest. “Yes, I will.”
“Tommy and Jeremy, do you both promise to love, protect, and honor Natalia as your mate?”
They nodded as one. “We will.”
The elder finished the words, and Natalia turned, kissing first Jeremy, then him.
Disappointment swept through Tommy. He knew he was the beta, second male, yet he wanted to be an equal in their relationship at least. Not just in Natalia’s eyes, but in Jeremy’s eyes.
Last night Jeremy had claimed him, promised to protect him. Told him that Natalia and he were equals in his affections. Yet here they stood, bound to Natalia, yet not to each other.
A screech rent the air, and Tommy felt claws rip threw his shirt at the back.
He cried out in pain. “Ah!”
The falcon that he had attacked the day Natalia had been kidnapped was back.
They all fell away, the old and young of the pack moving to the shelter of their homes whilst the strong stepped forward.
Jeremy, Natalia, and he all shifted without stripping, their clothes shredding in their haste.
They were everywhere. Bird shifters, land shifters. Tommy saw his friends being attacked at all angles, all because of something they didn’t understand.
He rolled and ducked to avoid a swooping falcon and sank his teeth into a passing bird.
Howls and screeches built into a cacophony that burst up into the sky. They had Natalia and Jeremy, so the birds could not win.
Claws dug high into his back at the same time as one of the birds pecked his face, barely missing his eyes. Pain blistered along every nerve ending. Tommy’s legs gave out beneath him. I am going to die, and Jeremy doesn’t know that I love him. Another bird attacked, and he felt the shift. Oh, fuck, I’m not worthy of either of them. His already racing heart thudded harder in his chest as he let out a cry in pain. He was in big trouble.
Chapter Nine
Jeremy’s tiger heard an
almost human scream and turned to see Tommy's wolf being attacked by two huge birds
His mate was bleeding, and he was on the ground. His grey fur became skin before Jeremy’s eyes. Jeremy growled in pain. As a human, his mate wouldn't survive against the attack of two huge birds.
Heedless of the animal attacking him, he turned and ran, feeling a tear across his hind legs but not stopping in his blind haste to get to his mate. He landed on top of Tommy and threw the two eagles off him.
He growled loudly as they surrounded him. Five, no six. They were in trouble, yet he couldn't move, wouldn't save himself if it meant leaving his mate to die.
"Tommy!" Natalia screamed and came running, now in human form. Naked and bleeding from her arm, she pushed through the shocked birds to throw herself under Jeremy and onto Tommy.
Jeremy moved off Tommy and circled. More land shifters moved into the circle and stood next to Jeremy, two wolves and a coyote, snapping their jaws at the birds.
No one would get through.
Natalia was frantically checking their mate, who was now passed out. She stood with a growl of pure frustration.
"Explain yourselves, or I’ll shift back and rip you into pieces!"
When no one moved she screamed in outrage.
"You kidnapped me! Now you’ve made an attempt on my mate’s life! Fucking explain! You had no cause!"
A flurry of feathers and two men stood in front of them.
"You killed our brother!"
Their sincerity and pain were obvious.
“I did not!” Natalia screamed, then stopped. Jeremy noticed her face paled, as if a memory suddenly resurfaced, “Or if I did … it wasn’t intentional.”
Jeremy shifted back and crouched by Tommy. He hated being naked in front of all these people, but he stood up, his size intimidating to most. He may as well use it to his advantage.
“I am offering you refuge. We need to sit down and talk about this.”
The men clenched their fists and took two steps forward.
“There is nothing to talk about. She killed out brother, and we demand retribution.”
Jeremy growled. The idea of this man getting his hands on either one of his mates ever again was enough to make him shift again. He took a deep breath.
