“Fuck. You’re already dripping. I wonder how badly you’ll want us by the time I’m done?” He removed his finger, smiling at her snort. “How many?”
“Two. You get one each.”
He tsked her. “Not nearly enough. You frightened us more than that. How about a dozen?”
She twisted to look at him over her shoulder. “A dozen? Why?”
“One for every man who could have killed you on that street and in that house.”
“That’s not fair, I…”
His hand landed on her ass, her flesh giving beneath it. Her head arched back, her breath hissing free.
Ethan nodded at Jude, moving his hand aside to give his buddy room. Jude caressed her slightly flushed skin, adding a second slap. She jerked against Ethan’s legs, her scent thickening in the air around them.
Ethan went next, savoring the feel of her ass connecting with his palm before Jude spanked her again, her body flexing with each pass of their hand. They kept going, taking turns, not stopping until they’d reached twelve. McKenna’s breath sounded loud in the sudden stillness, each shuddering breath further soothing their previous fear.
“Oh, sweetheart. Your ass is so pretty all pink for us. I can’t wait to sink inside it.” Ethan trailed his fingers through her crease, dipping lower to gather her cream on the tips. “So wet. Open and let Jude see how sorry you are for risking what’s ours.”
A strangled hiss broke from her chest as Ethan slipped inside her. “Mine.”
He chuckled. “Yes. Now open your legs.”
Jude’s hand moved in beside his, his finger sliding between her folds as she inched her legs apart, granting them access to her clit. She gasped as Jude rubbed his finger across it, swirling her juice along her skin as Ethan pumped two fingers inside her. Her body flowed around him, the hot clasp of her sex making his wolf howl.
He eased his hand back, teasing the entrance only to claim her again, harder. Deeper. Her back bowed at the firm intrusion, the muscles in her ass flexing.
He hummed, licking his fingers clean before penetrating her again. “After we’ve reasserted our claim, I’m going to spend the next few hours tasting you. Licking your pussy until there’s an imprint of my tongue on your clit. But this time…”
He eased his fingers free, moving them to her ass—using her arousal to ease his way inside. Her walls clamped around his invasion, the tight ring of muscles finally allowing his access.
Her breath hitched, her head falling forward as if she lacked the strength to hold it up. “Ethan. God, don’t tease me. I need you. Both of you.”
“How do you need us? Tell us?”
“Inside me. Claiming me. Damn it, Ethan. So close.”
He kept thrusting his fingers, loosening her muscles, staving off his own release as he felt her walls quiver. “Promise us you won’t scare us like that again. That you’ll protect what belongs to us.”
“Couldn’t let you die.”
“Naughty wench. You are a stubborn soul.”
“I love you, too. I promise to protect that love. It’s all I can do. I won’t lie…yes! Jude.”
Ethan felt Jude’s fingers claim her pussy through the thin membrane separating them, the ghosted caress unhinging his control. He stared at the woman writhing on his lap, heard her echoed vow of love ring through his head, and knew he’d truly come home.
He sighed, aware he’d give her anything just to hear her say she loved them again. “We love you, McKenna. Now come for us.”
He held his hand still, his fingers lodged deep as Jude increased his pace, his head somehow wedging between her legs. The sound of the man sucking her clit made Ethan’s breath hitch, his thighs tensing as he fought off the rush of need down his spine. McKenna cried out, scratching at Ethan’s legs as her body tensed, her head tilting back before she broke, her pussy rippling around Jude’s penetration, the steady contractions working along Ethan’s fingers as he slowly pulled them free of her ass.
“No. Ethan, don’t go.” She wrapped her hands around one leg, her teeth scraping his skin.
“Easy, sweetheart. Not going anywhere. Let’s get you upright. We need you, too.”
She moaned when Jude eased back, his mouth wet from her release. He helped Ethan lift her up, the carnal gleam in his eyes a visible warning his wolf was edging to the surface. She growled her own warning, teeth flashing white against her pink lips as she pounced on top of the other man when he went to his back.
Jude laughed, arranging her over him, hissing out his breath as she positioned her pussy above his erection, taking him inside her in one solid drop of her hips. The man’s fingers dug into the flesh of her waist, his voice keening into a raspy version of her name.
Ethan grabbed the small flask of oil they’d kept in their saddlebags, covering his shaft in the slippery fluid, before slipping in behind her. Jude held her still as Ethan eased her cheeks apart, revealing the small rosette that made his wolf claw at his skin. He wasn’t certain why his animal demanded her full surrender—he only knew that he needed it. Needed to know she belonged to them, in every way.
His hands shook as he placed the head of his cock at her entrance, watching in awe as it pressed against her flesh, finally slipping inside. Smooth, hot pressure encased his shaft, the slick feel of the oil brushing over his skin as he sank inside her stealing his breath. McKenna’s head fell to Jude’s chest, the other man whispering soothing words as Ethan filled her, stopping once his groin slapped her ass.
He sucked in some much-needed air. “So hot. So damn tight. God, sweetheart, you feel incredible.”
She whimpered, clenching around his intrusion as he eased out only to plunge back in, this thrust harder than the first. Jude countered his stroke, dragging his cock through her folds then slamming back into her. Ethan felt every inch of the man’s shaft claim their mate, the steady increase of pressure his undoing.
He tightened his grip on her hips, knowing he was squeezing her flesh, but too far gone to let up. He set up a slow rhythm, pulling back then pressing in, allowing Jude to match his pace, never leaving her empty. They worked in tandem, pushing her higher, using her body language to gauge her release. The way her muscles contracted in sequence like a wave down her back, or how her cries rose in volume, becoming a steady plea of their names. Every reaction spurred them on until her pussy spasmed, and Ethan lost control.
He pounded into her, claiming her ass, needing to feel her go completely over before he gave in to the rush of fire beneath his skin. Jude seemed equally lost beneath him, his movements a constant brush against him. The dual sensations had Ethan clenching his jaw in an effort to hold off, when McKenna pushed off of Jude’s chest, a keening shout filling the room.
“Shit, yeah.” Ethan thrust deep, holding still as she convulsed against him. “Come around us. Give us what we need.”
A pink flush colored her skin as she climaxed, her release easing past Jude’s cock, a hint of moisture coating Ethan’s sac. The knowledge sent him over, and he pummeled into her as his orgasm sizzled along his spine, the fiery sensation pulling him under. His cock contracted as he came, filling her ass with his seed as Jude shouted out his release, the man’s shaft flaring against his. He felt every pulse, every twitch, his strength finally waning as he curled over McKenna’s back, wrapping his arms around her and Jude as he concentrated on drawing air in then pushing it out. Time ticked by, nothing but the erratic beating of his mates’ hearts infiltrating the numbing haze hovering over him.
McKenna sighed beneath him, the soft sound rousing him. He forced his body upright, hissing when the motion clamped her ass around his weakening cock. He inhaled, savoring the combined scent of their release as he eased his shaft free, falling to the bed beside his mates. McKenna moaned, curling against his chest when Jude rolled them sideways, her ass once again snuggled against Ethan’s groin.
He held her tight, knowing he’d never willingly let her go. That they were bound to each other in a way he hadn’t dared dream possibl
e. But as her body eased next to his, her contented sigh warming his heart, he knew Jude had been right. She was more than just their mate. She was the missing half of their soul.
Jude brushed her hair back, smiling at Ethan over her shoulder. “I think we made our point clear, didn’t we, darlin’?”
She huffed, making the wisps of hair around her face dance. “If by point you mean you made me come harder than ever, then yes.”
Jude chuckled. “Naughty wench.”
She burrowed against Ethan. “I wish I could promise you boys I wouldn’t risk my life again to help you, but I can’t. It’s just not in my nature.”
Ethan nuzzled her neck. “We know. It’s part of the reason we love you, even if it does test our patience.”
“You boys aren’t exactly easy to live with, either. You’re marshals. That means you take risks every day. And not just for me.”
“Being a sheriff isn’t much better, sweetheart.”
Her body stiffened as she lifted her head, glancing at him before looking at Jude. “Sheriff?”
Jude shrugged. “Seems Tombstone is in sorry need of some lawmen. Or woman in this case. And Grant seems to think you’re the girl for the job…assuming we want to take over as marshals, of course. You’re much too hardheaded to leave to your own devices.”
Ethan nipped at her earlobe. “It will mean the three of us settlin’ down. Maybe starting a family. Lord knows we plan on making love to you at every possible opportunity.”
McKenna gaped at them. “But…are you sure that’s what you want? After all those years you’ve spent traipsing across the country?”
“No need to keep moving when we’ve found what we were lookin’ for.”
She smiled as tears gathered in her eyes. “A lawman, huh? Guess there are worse things I could be. But you know this means I get final say in how things are run, right?”
“Nice try, sweetheart, but that only applies to the townsfolk. Though we might let you get your way from time to time. Seems only fair.”
“Weren’t you the one who said love isn’t fair?” She relaxed between them again. “Besides, who needs fair when I’ve got you boys wrapped around my finger?”
“Your trigger finger.”
“Whatever works.” She yawned. “Can we get some rest now? I have big plans for you two once I get my strength back.”
Jude chuckled. “Big plans, huh? Sounds mysterious.”
“You have no idea. But I’ll give you a hint…it involves you two naked and some strong rope.”
“Our kind of plans.” Jude dropped a kiss on her forehead. “Anything else we should know before we let you get some sleep?”
“Other than that I love you boys? More than you’ll ever know?”
Ethan kissed her neck. “Other than that.”
“Nope. Though you might want to keep your guard up. My wolf’s feeling playful.”
“Isn’t that what the rope’s for?”
She laughed. “That it is.” A slow smile crept across her lips as she sat up, crawling out from between them.
Ethan glanced at Jude, a tinge of fear scratching at him. “McKenna? Everything all right? Don’t you want to rest?”
“Soon. But first…catch me if you can.”
She jumped off the bed, shifting as her hands touched the floor. She stumbled, the transition not quite as smooth as theirs, but equally as beautiful, as her wolf yipped then headed for the window, clearing the ledge as she disappeared into the dawning light.
Jude tsked, making his way over to the window. “Damn, she’s fast.”
Ethan moved in behind him, watching her white fur race across the open plain. “We’re faster.”
“That we are. But let’s not catch her too quickly. I like watching her run.”
“Deal. But once we do…”
Jude smiled. “Hell yeah. All that and more. You ready?”
“Lead the way, mate.”
Jude grinned. “Keep talkin’ like that, and hers won’t be the only ass that gets claimed.”
“I’m counting on it. But you’d best be quick, partner, because if I catch your ass first…”
Jude jumped out the window, staring back at him over his shoulder. “Not a chance, but let’s see you try.”
Ethan laughed, vaulting onto the ground. “Guess it’s a good thing we didn’t turn her over for that reward when we had the chance.”
“Guess so.” He gave Ethan a playful shove. “Better get moving, buddy. And let the hunt begin.”
