Abbey nodded, reaching out and touching Dara’s arm lightly. The very thought of Hunter or Clay injured or killed because of her not being safe sent a shard if ice through her heart.
“Then we’re both going to have to be extra careful so our mates won’t suffer because of us,” Abbey conceded.
Dara nodded and smiled. “It was very nice to meet you, Abbey,” Dara told her, reaching out and touching her hand one last time. “I have to get back to my men. I have a nice surprise for them.” She raised the small bag with the store’s logo on it and smiled.
Abbey laughed and squeezed Dara’s hand lightly. “Thanks for the guidance,” she told her, winking. “I’m looking forward to using these toys.”
“Wear the teddy, too. It’s really beautiful. Your mates will be very happy.”
Abbey nodded, watching as Dara turned and walked out of the store. She was immediately surrounded by the four men. With one last wave at Abbey as she looked over her shoulder, Dara walked away and disappeared into the sea of people in the crowded mall.
Abbey turned and made her way over to the register. Placing the two toys and the lingerie on the counter, she smiled as the woman behind the counter winked at her and began to ring up her purchases. Taking out her wallet and removing the cash she needed to pay for the items, she thought about how her men were going to react. She hoped they would enjoy what she had planned for them.
Chapter 24
Abbey looked at her reflection in the bathroom mirror. She brushed her hair one last time, carefully pulling its length forward to settle over her shoulders to rest softly against the bodice of the turquoise blue teddy.
Honey?
Yes, Clay?
I’m up at the family lodge meeting with Jace and Jackson. I’ll be home in about an hour.
Okay. Is Hunter with you?
No, he’s on his way home right now. Is everything all right, Abbey?
Yes, Clay. I’m just missing you both.
Baby.
The deep emotions that Clay was feeling warmed Abbey deep down in her soul. The wonder he had of being the recipient of her love traveled through their mating bond and made Abbey realize just how much he cherished her. She could sense his happiness. She could feel his love. And she was filled with her own happiness that what she felt for him was returned in spades. Reaching out through the ribbons of their bond, she searched for Hunter and found him.
Hunter?
Yes, sweetheart?
Are you almost home?
I’ll be home and holding you in my arms within the next ten minutes, Mate.
Abbey’s soft laughter traveled through their bond. She made sure to fill both of her men with the warmth and happiness she was feeling.
Have fun, you two, Clay called to them, chuckling softly.
Abbey closed her thoughts to the men, careful to share only her feelings and not her plans. She wanted to surprise them both.
Only minutes later, she heard the front door open and a thrill raced through her. She could hear Hunter going through his routine of removing his uniform jacket and hanging it up on the coat rack beside the front door.
“Abbey?” he called out to her.
“I’m upstairs in our bedroom, Hunter.”
The heavy tread of his footsteps on the stairs sent a rush of excitement through her. She closed the bathroom door so he wouldn’t see her. When he opened the bedroom door and stepped inside, she realized she was suddenly nervous.
“Sweetheart, are you okay?” he asked, standing outside the closed bathroom door.
“Yes,” she told him softly from her hiding place behind the door, amazed by how he had picked up on her nervousness. “How was your day?”
“It was good,” he told her, turning and removing his gun and opening the closet door to step inside its huge space and walking over to the large locked safe. He dialed the combination to unlock it, opened it, and safely put away his gun and ammunition. “How was your day, baby?”
He walked out into their bedroom and waited patiently outside the closed bathroom door. When Abbey didn’t come out, he became concerned.
“Abbey? What’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” Abbey answered without hesitation.
“Can I come in?”
“No.”
“Okay, Abbey, now you’re scaring me. What’s wrong?”
“Hunter, can you do something for me?”
“Whatever you need, baby.”
“Could you please take off your clothes and lie down on our bed?”
Hunter’s immediate rush of desire filled her and made her smile. She was still nervous but she knew that whatever happened within the next few minutes was going to be wonderful. Every moment with each of her mates was always wonderful. The only thing that made her nervous was the worry that she might be too pushy.
She heard the rustle of clothing and let out a breath of relief, not even realizing that she had been holding it. “Are you in bed?” she called out.
“Yes, Abbey. Please come out here so I can hold you, sweetheart.”
Abbey opened the bathroom door and stepped out into the bedroom. She walked over to the bed and looked down at Hunter as he lay in the center of their bed with his hands resting beneath his head as he relaxed on his pillow.
“You look gorgeous,” he whispered, taking in her sexy curves in the beautiful turquoise blue lingerie. “Very pretty outfit.”
“Stay calm, Hunter,” Abbey told him quickly.
“Too late, baby,” Hunter answered, smiling. “I can’t help wanting you when you’re standing before me all sexy and beautiful.”
“You need to stay calm so I can put this on you,” Abbey told him, holding up her right hand and showing him the hot pink toy she had purchased that afternoon.
“Where’d you get that, baby?” Hunter asked her, his sexy smile turning lecherous.
Abbey climbed up on the bed and crawled between his legs, resting her left hand on his thigh and petting him. “At the mall. You have to stay calm, Hunter. You can’t be hard or I won’t be able to put this on you.”
“Hell, baby! How am I supposed to stay soft when I want you so damn much? Do you even see how sexy you are? Look at that outfit you’re wearing! And you want me to not get an erection?”
“Okay, then,” she hesitated, biting her bottom lip as she tried to think the situation through. “I wanted to explain the toy to you first, but I’m going to have to put it on you before you…”
“Better hurry, Mate,” he told her, his voice gruff with desire.
Abbey nodded and leaned forward, taking Hunter’s growing cock in her hand and sliding the cock ring down over his shaft. Carefully lifting his balls, she guided them gently through the ring. His shaft grew bigger and harder as she carefully ran her finger around the interior of the ring to make sure it didn’t pinch him or catch any of his pubic hair. She was determined to see that it was positioned perfectly. She looked down at the ring and smiled, touching the four pleasure nubs made of soft gel that were situated at twelve, three, six, and nine o’clock on the toy.
Hunter’s deep rumbles of desire increased as she touched him and she looked up at him to find his eyes completely golden and his canines extended. She could feel the rush of desire that filled him and responded in kind. She was already dripping with need and knew that Hunter scented her wetness. She watched him as he breathed in deeply and blushed, knowing she couldn’t hide her need for him—not that she wanted to. It was just a little embarrassing.
“Don’t ever be embarrassed by your desire for your mates, sweetheart,” he told her gently. “Do you know how happy it makes us that you want us just as much as we want you, baby?”
Abbey smiled and leaned forward, placing her hands on his thighs to steady herself as she situated herself directly in front of his hard and straining cock. Reaching up, she took hold of his shaft and lifted it so she could lick up the underside of it, tracing the prominent vein with the tip of her tongue. The salty taste of him made her hum
in appreciation.
Hunter growled as the vibrations of her mouth against his shaft drove his desire to epic proportions. When she kissed her way up his shaft and surrounded the head of his cock with her lips to suck him deeply into her mouth, his body bowed up, and he reached for her, threading his fingers through her soft tresses and gripping her head tightly.
“Abbey,” he moaned, panting as he tried to control his need to come as she took him to the back of her throat and swallowed.
She pulled back slowly, licking her tongue across the tip of his cock and drawing the flavor of his pre-cum into her mouth. Kissing the head, she looked up and smiled at him.
“Like that?” she whispered.
“Hell! What’s not to like?” he gasped as she took him in her mouth once more and swallowed him down until her nose rubbed across the black curls at the base of his cock. “Baby, you need to stop or I’m going to come.”
Abbey pulled off his cock with a slurp and kissed the space where his hip met his thigh. She sucked up a mark there and smiled as she thought about claiming him as he and Clay had claimed her. Climbing up his body, she straddled his hips and sat down gently, rubbing her intimate folds across the length of his shaft.
“There’s a small motor in the ring,” she told him, leaning forward and placing a soft kiss on his lips but pulling back before he could take over and intensify the kiss. “There are four nubs that are perfectly placed so that when you’re deep inside of me it will rub against my clit and lips,” she whispered, blushing lightly. “When the motor is turned on, it will vibrate against your balls and my clit.”
Hunter growled as Abbey reached down, turned the small switch on, and the vibrations began. When she reached down and took hold of his shaft, caressing it lovingly before she placed the tip at her channel and dragged it through the dripping entrance of her pussy, he had to force himself to remain still. He wanted her to be in control and take what she needed from him before he reached for his own release.
She lifted her hips and took the first few inches of his shaft inside of her before pulling off and repeating the motion until she was completely seated, and he was as deep inside of her as he could get. Abbey moaned as the silicone nubs vibrated against her sensitive tissues and swollen clit.
“I hope this feels good for you, because it feels freaking amazing for me, Hunter,” she told him, gasping as she lifted her hips and slammed down onto his hardness, rubbing against the moving parts of the toy once again.
“Shit, yeah!” Hunter told her through gritted teeth. “I don’t think I’m going to be able to last much longer, Abbey.”
“Go for it,” Abbey told him, snapping her hips faster and taking him deeply over and over again as he met each of her plunges with thrusts of his own.
He grabbed for her hips and held her tightly against his groin as he slammed up into her with increasing force and intensity. “Abbey!” he gasped, reaching up and pulling her toward him.
He pushed aside the silk strap of her lingerie to expose her left shoulder and neck. Lunging, he bit into her creamy flesh and sucked in her sweet blood, claiming her once again as his body exploded and he filled her to overflowing.
Abbey whimpered as his bite flooded her with endorphins. Her head fell forward and she opened her mouth to release a guttural moan as her orgasm detonated. She bit down on his chest, moaning against him as she broke the skin and tasted his blood.
He growled at her claiming—his wolf howling within him as their mate took ownership of him. His seed filled her, his mating knot engaging and sealing their connection. His breath came in harsh gasps as his body raced with the pleasure and excitement that making love to her gave him.
“Baby, I love you,” he whispered against the top of her head, hugging her tightly against his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and held her in place, not wanting to ever let her go.
“Hunter,” she whispered, kissing his chest lightly. “I love you.” She leaned back, saw the blood that was dripping down his chest, and was horrified. “Hunter, I’m so sorry! Oh, my goodness, I bit you!”
Hunter’s laughter surprised her. She looked up at him in complete shock.
“Abbey, you can bite me any time, sweetheart,” he told her softly. “My wolf is happy. You’ve just claimed us.”
“But I hurt you,” she protested.
“No, baby, you didn’t. It was hot.”
Abbey was about to protest when he leaned forward and licked at the spot on her shoulder where he had just claimed her once again. She shuddered as pleasure rippled through her. She smiled against his chest, realizing that he loved the bite she had given him just as she loved the one he had given her.
“I understand,” she whispered, leaning up and offering her lips to him.
He took her gift with pleasure, kissing her lightly over and over again as he soothed her worries and offered her all the tenderness and love in his heart. He loved the sigh that escaped her when he pulled his mouth away from hers and settled her head against his chest. When his knot released and his cock slid from her body, he let out a long breath of relaxation and contentment, holding her tighter for just a moment when she pushed out of his arms.
Before he had a chance to ask her why she was pulling away, she reached down and began to carefully remove the ring from his shaft. She scooted down his body and held his cock carefully within her soft hand. Carefully tugging off the cock ring, she leaned forward and squeezed the tip of his shaft lightly to expel the last dribble of seed from him. She lapped it up greedily then opened her mouth and took his shaft into her mouth, sucking it gently to lick their combined releases from it.
Kissing his belly, she climbed up his body and draped herself over his chest, snuggling against him and resting her head on his shoulder. She sighed as he surrounded her with his arms, and he caressed her shoulder and back.
“Nice,” she whispered, kissing his neck lightly.
“Very nice,” he agreed. Running his hand across her shoulder, he pushed aside the silk strap of the lingerie and rubbed his fingers across the sexy material. “I really like this, sweetheart. So sexy. It’s almost as beautiful as you are.”
“Hunter Stewart, you are a sweet-talker,” she told him, squeezing her arms around his body and kissing his chest lightly. She ran her tongue around the brown disc of his nipple and bit down on it lightly.
“I’m not sweet-talking you, Abbey,” he told her seriously. He hugged her tightly and breathed in deeply against her hair. “Sweetheart, please believe me. We are not players. We’re committed to you for the rest of our lives. You are beautiful, and you belong to me and Clay.”
Abbey was silent as she looked up at him, not even realizing how she was automatically petting his arm. She could feel the honest emotions he was experiencing and knew that he was being completely honest and open with her. When she allowed herself to sink into his heart through their mating link, she was met with the complete honesty that surrounded him in a soothing blue cloud. The label of pack playboy and player did not apply to either Hunter or Clay. She felt their deep love and sincerity within her soul. The mating bond didn’t allow anything but the truth to be felt and known among the triad members. She smiled and kissed Hunter’s shoulder, happy that her men could feel exactly what she felt for them every moment of every day. They only needed to search her heart to be sure.
“So, did you buy any other toys today, sweetheart?”
Abbey laughed and hugged him tightly. “No. Just the one. Actually, I bought two—one for you and one for Clay.”
Hunter laughed softly. “I can safely say that Clay will definitely love your choice of toy.”
“Yeah?” Abbey asked, smiling up at him.
“Yeah,” he whispered, kissing her lips lightly. “I love making love with you, baby.”
Abbey couldn’t even speak. The feelings that surged through her chest soothed the years of feeling insignificant and unloved. Her mates’ honest love and devotion to her gave testament to the fact that she w
as indeed worthy of being loved—worthy of being their love. These caring, honest men had done that for her.
“Now that I know you’re willing to experiment with toys, I have a lot of ideas for some other things I would like to try. You and Clay can help me pick out some things you both would like to try. Okay?”
Hunter’s only response was a deep growl of pleasure and a silent prayer of thanks to the Fates for giving them such a loving and fun mate. They were going to have many years of happiness because of her.

Clay walked into the kitchen of their home a little over an hour later, smiling as he saw Hunter sitting at the table with an open laptop in front of him. The smell of something delicious cooking filled their home, and Clay’s stomach growled with hunger at the scent. Walking over to the table, he removed his belt and set it carefully on the table.
“What’s got you so serious?” he teased, seeing the way Hunter was so focused on the screen before him.
“I’m searching for something special to get Abbey,” Hunter told him, never looking up from the monitor.
“Like what?”
“Don’t know yet. When I find it, I’ll know.”
“Well, that sounds cryptic,” Clay told him, laughing softly.
Hunter nodded, smiling softly. “I’ll explain later. I’ve got dinner cooking. It should be ready in about an hour.”
“Sounds good. Where’s our mate?”
“Upstairs. Waiting for you.”
“Oh, yeah?” Clay questioned, his eyebrows lifting in surprise.
“Yeah. Go on up and enjoy the sweet surprise she has planned for you.”
Clay stood and started to walk away from the table, hesitating and turning back to face his triad partner. “Jace and Jackson are strengthening security around pack land,” he told Hunter.
“What happened?”
“Alpha Randall and four of his enforcers showed up on pack land. Suzie, Mitchell, and Dean were attacked.”
