Mitch watched as his mate moved to stand between he and Wyatt, her face flushed with happiness, her beautiful blue-violet eyes filled with love. His heart nearly burst from his chest at the emotion swirling within it. Gods, he’d become such a damned woman it was pathetic. He took a deep breath and smiled. What the hell? He’d been in worse positions and this woman was worth every change she wrought in their lives.
The clergy, a forward-thinking woman who presided over a forward-thinking congregation in Mason stood at the podium in white. Her gown ruffled with the breeze in the outdoor chapel and her golden blonde hair blew out behind her, making her look like some sort of angel or goddess.
“We are gathered here to witness the combining of souls.” Her voice rang out the chapel as the people watched. “We join not two souls together today, but three. Two men to one woman as it was meant to be for the people of Paradise.”
She smiled over the people watching, her dark brown eyes shot with gold. “If there is anyone here who would challenge this mating, speak now.” She waited a moment and with a smile took Melody’s hands, resting one on each of her mate’s arms.
Leaning forward, she whispered to Melody, “Repeat after me.” She straightened and looked at Mitch with a small smile. “I Melody Madison take both Mitch and Wyatt Baldwin to be my husbands in the eyes of the gods.”
Melody licked her lips. “I Melody Madison take both Mitch and Wyatt Baldwin to be my husbands in the eyes of the gods.”
“From this day forward I shall cherish our time together, care for them in sickness and in health and love them until the end of my days.”
Again, Melody repeated what the woman said. Mitch couldn’t help himself, he stared down at his mate’s mouth as she repeated her vows and couldn’t help but think about what she could do with her talented tongue.
It wasn’t until Melody elbowed him with a scowl that Mitch realized he’d missed most of the ceremony and glanced sheepishly up at the clergy. “Am I supposed to repeat something?”
The entire town laughed. Wyatt slapped him on the back with a grin. “Boy you’ve got it bad. The serum must be wearing off.”
“What? Why?” Mitch looked around at everyone who seemed to be having a great time laughing at him.
“The ceremony is over. It’s your turn to seal it with a kiss.” Wyatt shook his head. “I don’t believe you don’t remember repeating the vows.”
“Me either,” Mitch said grimly. He looked down at Melody who grinned up at him and batted her eyes. “But then again, I don’t give a damn. Are we married or not?”
“We’re married,” Wyatt said with a chuckle.
“Good.” Leaning down, Mitch pressed a quick kiss to Melody’s lips and lifted her into his arms. “I’m outta here and so is she. If you want in on this, you’d better follow me home.”
Melody shrieked. “Put me down, put me down!” She kicked her legs until he was forced to set her on her feet or drop her.
“What the hell is wrong with you?” He scowled down at her.
“Let’s set the record straight, mister.” She poked her index finger into the center of his chest. “We aren’t missing the party your alpha—”
“Our alpha.”
She stamped her foot at his interruption. “Okay. We aren’t missing the party that our alpha has planned for us. Do you have any idea how hard it is to throw something like that together with a one-day notice? We are not missing it.”
Mitch grinned as he looked down at their mate. She looked so beautiful in the white lace gown, her hands clenched into fists resting on her hips and her face flushed with embarrassment or anger. God he was a lucky man. “Yes, dear. Whatever you say, dear.” With a grin, he fell into step next to the two most important people in his world.
Chapter Sixteen
“I thought that party would never end.” Wyatt sat on the bed and took his shoes off. He’d already removed his jacket and tie. His shirt hung open revealing his muscular chest and his six-pack abs. Melody sighed. How did she ever get so lucky? All these years she’d berated herself for falling in love with both of these men and they had been a package deal all along.
She turned to Mitch who stood shirtless in his bare feet staring at her as though she was some prized artifact he’d searched for all of his life.
“I have searched for you all of my life, angel. We both have. It’s no secret to any of us that we must find our mates. We don’t procreate well with those who aren’t our match in every way.”
“It’s not to say that children can never be borne of a union that wasn’t meant to be, it’s just not usually done,” Wyatt added from his spot on the bed. “Well not before the old council was in charge, anyway.”
Melody twisted her hands together, nervous. She’d never been in the same bedroom with them at the same time. Even when they were traveling, they always got two, adjoining rooms. Not once did they make her feel as though they would force her to mate with the both of them. It had always been her choice.
Slowly raising her arms, she reached back to undo the clasp at her neck. The dress, held up by just that one clasp and the sleeves, fell into an off-white puddle at her feet as soon as she lowered her arms. She knelt down to pick up the dress and hang it over the back of the chair next to her when she heard both of her men inhale sharply.
It was difficult not to smile. She wasn’t sure if it would have been from female pride, or embarrassment. All she knew was that she liked their reaction to the sight of the white satin teddy Nina Greer had bought her at a local lingerie shop. Strategically placed ties held it up. It would only take a few quick tugs to have it in a puddle at her feet.
She stood still, twisting her hands as her men took in the teddy, the satiny thigh high stockings and her high-heeled shoes. Boy was Nina right when she predicted that they would be speechless.
“You’re so beautiful, angel.” Mitch found his voice first. He fingered the button on his slacks before removing them to stand before her wearing nothing more than a smile.
Melody pressed her lips together to keep herself from giggling with nervousness. After everything they had done together, she was surprised to find she was apprehensive. Every time they made love to her separately, each of them did what they could to prepare her for this night, yet she was still scared.
“Yes, you are the most beautiful woman in the world.” Wyatt stood and let his pants fall to the floor.
She jumped when Mitch took her in his arms. “Shh, baby. There’s nothing to be scared of. We won’t hurt you.”
“It’s not you I’m scared of.” She smiled ruefully. “I can feel the heat building up within me and I’m afraid of what I might do.”
“You could never hurt us. Not now.” Mitch smiled. “But you might be able to after we mate.”
“What do you mean?” She licked her lips and got a heady feeling when his cock jumped in response.
“We should have told you this before, but we didn’t know how to bring it up. You seemed so happy to be with us that we didn’t think it would be an issue, but you do have a right to know before we do this.”
“I have a right to know what?” She looked at first Mitch, then Wyatt. “What haven’t you told me?”
“You’ll be like us after we mate.”
“Like you?”
“Yes,” Wyatt stepped up behind her, wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed his already hard cock into the crack of her rear. “You’ll be a tiger shifter like us.” She felt him shrug. “We don’t know if you’ll be white or orange, but you will be able to change and you will be able to better defend yourself should someone want to attack you again.”
Melody smiled. “Oh, is that all you wanted to tell me? Nina told me that already. In fact, she seemed quite upset that you guys hadn’t already told me. You may get a phone call tomorrow.” She tried not to laugh at their groans.
Reaching up, she wrapped her arms around Mitch’s neck and pulled him down to give him a kiss. “Now, if you’re done talking, let�
��s get on with this, shall we?”
Melody put everything from her mind when Mitch’s lips met hers. Wyatt pressed soft kisses to her neck while he traced around, tugging and twisting her nipples through the satiny material of her teddy.
Reaching up, Mitch cupped her breasts, while Wyatt continued to pull her nipples into hard peaks, occasionally brushing his thumb over the hard nubs while she groaned.
The heat, always in her stomach these days, fanned out into the rest of her body. Liquid heat pooled low in her abdomen and wet her thighs. Mitch had already untied the stay that kept the teddy in place between her legs.
When he loosened the stays that held the material over her breasts, he pushed Wyatt’s hand away and leaned down to suck one hard nipple into his mouth, dragging a groan from deep inside her. It was nothing compared to the all-consuming pleasure she felt when Wyatt moved around and suckled her other breast, his teeth scraping the tight bud.
Melody threw her head back, her hands going to their heads to hold them to her. Her legs gave out and Mitch lifted her into his arms to carry her to the bed. One on each side of her, they each removed a shoe and stocking. They each caressed a leg, and each of them again took one of her nipples into their mouths.
Mitch moved to settle himself between her thighs as Wyatt continued to suckle and tug on her sensitive nipples. “Oh, god.” Was this what life would be like with these two? Was this the way sex would be between them for the rest of their lives? If so, she wasn’t sure she could live through much more of it.
Melody moaned when Mitch thrust his tongue inside her. Reaching down, she held his head as he suckled and laved her clit. Her hips came up off the bed when he thrust his fingers into her empty channel and thrust them inside her until she couldn’t think, could only feel.
“Please,” she sobbed. Her head tossed on the bed as Wyatt alternately sucked her nipples into tight peaks. “Please. I can’t take anymore.”
With her hands still fisted in Mitch’s hair, Melody screamed, her body stiffening, hips rising off the bed. Light burst behind her eyelids as Mitch continued to suck her clit.
Wyatt gave her nipple one last nip then moved to lie back on the bed. He fisted his cock, a drop of pre-cum on the tip. “Straddle me baby.”
Melody licked her lips and shook her head. “I get to taste you first.” She knelt next to him, lowered her head and sucked him into her mouth. He tasted salty and a bit wild. Just what she expected because she’d done this before, but she wanted to please him first. She wanted to please them both first, but Mitch wouldn’t wait.
He poured a few drops of oil over her back hole and worked it in with his fingers. If the sound of his breathing was any indication, he was very near the edge already. He always got that way whenever he went down on her. She had yet to figure out what it was about the action that turned him on to the point of losing control.
She continued to take Wyatt’s cock deep into her mouth while Mitch nudged her ass with the head of his cock. He wasn’t a small man and his cock was always a tight fit. Sometimes, like now, she wondered how they would both fit inside her, but she knew they would.
A groan escaped her throat as he tunneled his way inside her, his ever-deepening thrusts growing stronger and stronger as he seated himself deeper inside her. Wyatt fisted his hands in her hair dragging her mouth from his cock when Mitch finally managed to seat himself fully inside her, his sac brushing against her nether lips.
“How does it feel, baby?” Mitch asked, then pressed a kiss against her back.
“I feel full.”
Mitch chuckled. “Not as full as you’re going to feel in a minute.”
Melody panted as he pulled almost all the way out then thrust himself inside her again.
“I think she’s ready for you.” He pulled out and helped Melody straddle Wyatt. He watched, his cock bucking as his brother and best friend’s cock disappeared into her tight channel.
“Gods, she’s tight, Mitch. I can’t imagine what she’s going to be like with you in her ass.” Wyatt groaned.
Encouraged by Wyatt’s reaction, Melody lifted herself up on her knees and slammed herself back down, bouncing in his lap for a bit as she reveled in the sweet sensation of his cock thrusting deep inside her, almost touching her womb. “It feels so good,” she moaned.
“She’s going to be heaven and she’s going to feel like we’re heaven, too,” Mitch commented from behind her. “Pull her down, Wyatt.”
Reaching up, Wyatt cupped the back of her head and pulled her down for a deep kiss. Melody felt Mitch move between his brother’s legs, then rest the head of his cock against her anus. She took deep breath when he pushed forward.
“It burns. You’re too big for me like this.”
“Shh…baby.” Mitch stopped his forward assent and rubbed the cheeks of her ass, her back. He bent down and kissed her between the shoulder blades. “We’ll fit. I promise you that and after this, you won’t ever have to worry about el calor again.”
Wyatt kissed her again, then looked deep into her eyes. “You do want this, don’t you, angel?”
Melody nodded. She did, but she hadn’t expected it to hurt. They had always made certain that everything felt so good for her. It never crossed her mind that this could hurt. It was probably a stupid assumption, but there it was.
“Just relax and bear down a bit when I push in.”
“It’s okay, angel,” Wyatt whispered against her lips, his hands constantly caressing her back, relaxing her and making her feel cherished. “It will only hurt for a minute. I promise.”
Maybe she hadn’t really known them for long, but neither of them had ever lied to her. Biting her lip, she nodded and let Wyatt draw her down against his chest again.
Slowly, inch by slow inch, Mitch managed to tunnel his way back inside her ass. Melody was afraid to move. She wasn’t sure she would ever walk again, but at least it didn’t hurt anymore.
“How is it, baby?” Mitch kissed her back as he held himself still awaiting her answer. “How do you feel?”
“Full,” she gasped. “I feel so full.”
“Well you look beautiful with your hair spread out over Wyatt like a silken curtain, your legs spread wide and my cock in your ass.”
Melody whimpered. He knew she liked to hear him talk. Why did he have to make her feel so damned sexy when she lay here between them practically skewered? “Please, Mitch. I can’t stand this. I need you to move.”
He pulled out an inch or so then pushed back in. “Like this?”
“Yes!” She lifted her chest up off Wyatt and turned to look at him. “I can’t take this anymore. Can’t you feel my body spasm around yours? Can’t you feel me shaking with need? Please!”
Wyatt thrust his fingers through her hair and tilted her head for his kiss as Mitch finally began to repeatedly thrust in and out of her. This was what she’d waited for…almost.
Turning her head, she pulled away to look into Wyatt’s eyes. “I need this. I need both of you, all of you. Don’t hold back now.”
Wyatt pushed her up a bit, fitting his hand between them, he reached down to thumb her clit as he finally began to thrust his hips up into her. Melody couldn’t think of anything but the pleasure as they continued to thrust into her using an alternating rhythm. Her entire body became nothing more than one big ball of need as they tunneled inside her, occasionally their hard shafts pushed in at the same time and touched places she never knew she had before.
White-hot heat surrounded her as she felt her orgasm approach This was what they had prepared her for. This was what she’d dreamed of all of these years and this was the way they were meant to be.
Just as her climax peaked and she screamed her pleasure and her love to them, both Mitch and Wyatt growled deep, animalistic growls. Melody gasped when Wyatt’s teeth grew, his incisors growing impossibly long in his still human mouth.
She screamed when he leaned up and bit the curve of her neck, while Mitch did the same to her other side. Lightning fl
ashed behind her eyelids as she came one last time, her body clenching, milking theirs as she continued to climax around them. She barely noticed when they both placed their wrists at her mouth, instructing her to bite them as well.
Nothing had ever felt this way in her life, and she feared nothing would ever feel the same again. Melody collapsed onto Wyatt’s chest, trying to catch her breath.
Mitch slowly pulled out of her and left the room, most likely to get a warm washcloth. They never forgot to clean her up afterward. She wasn’t really comfortable with it, but she was too drained to protest tonight. She would say something about it in the morning. Yes, that was a good idea.
Epilogue
The strains of a classical melody came from near the cafeteria. The sound drifted down the hall as the haunting melody floated through the silent school. There was no sound at all, but that of the duet on the stage inside the school’s previously forgotten auditorium.
Wyatt walked down the hall, Mitch on his right as they held a small girl’s hand. This was the girl they had been looking for, the daughter of one of the Tudra’s victims. They managed to wrest her out of the human’s system for orphans and brought her back to Paradise where she belonged.
She was a sweet little girl with large blue eyes that reminded him of Melody. She stopped just outside the auditorium and she swayed between them, the music obviously reaching something deep inside her.
It was a start. The humans said that she hadn’t spoken once since they found her. Wyatt’s lip curled at the look of relief on the man’s face when they said they were her uncles. It was a lie, of course, but what did it matter? The girl was back here where she belonged and she was about to meet her new mother.
