“Fuck!” Carter grimaced when Tammy whimpered and then shifted in her sleep. “I didn’t even think about that.”
“I have a feeling whoever left that message for her isn’t going to give up until they get their money. What pisses me off the most is we don’t know who could be targeting our mate.”
“Yeah, I hear you.” Carter sighed and rubbed a hand over his face. “We’ll just have to try and convince Tammy to mate with us. God, I’m in love with her already. If something happened to her…”
“I love her, too, Carter, but we need to give her more time to come to terms with all of this. She wasn’t even aware that we existed twenty-four hours ago.”
Tammy shifted and sighed, and her eyelids fluttered open. She snuggled into Crag’s chest, then she pushed up into a sitting position and turned to face Carter.
“You guys are so special. I can’t believe you love me.”
“Shit!” Carter tensed and so did Crag. “How long have you been awake, baby?”
“I wasn’t really asleep. I was just dozing.”
Crag gripped her chin and turned her head toward him. “How much did you hear, darlin’?”
“Um.” Tammy bit her lip and then a smile formed across her face. “All of it.”
“Damn, you weren’t supposed to hear any of it.” Crag sighed, but then he realized he was glad she had heard them talking. He hated holding back how she made him feel, and now that she knew he and Carter loved her, maybe they could move their relationship to the next level. But what would be even better was if she agreed to mate with them.
“Sorry,” Tammy said and then rose to her feet. “I’m going to take a shower.”
Tammy left without a backward glance, but Crag could have sworn he saw desire and acceptance in her eyes.
“Did you tell the Alphas about the business we wanted to start?” Crag decided a subject change was what he needed right now, because if he thought about Tammy standing naked in the shower, he didn’t know if he could keep away from her. His cock was so hard it was making his jeans uncomfortable.
“Yes, and they approve. There are no landscaping businesses in or around Aztec that they know of, and they think it will definitely be lucrative,” Carter said. “If you and Tammy are agreeable, the Alphas suggest we set up shop in the vacant office front near the supermarket. They said since the pack owns it that we don’t have to worry about paying rent and because everyone in the pack has more money than they could spend in a lifetime that we can keep all the profits.”
“As much as I appreciate the gesture, I don’t want to do that. All the profits from all the businesses get shared out. I don’t see why ours should be any different.”
Carter smiled at him and then pulled Crag into a hug. “I was hoping you’d say that. I don’t mind not having to pay the rent, but I didn’t feel right about keeping all the money.”
A rustle from near the hallway had Crag pulling away from Carter. He turned his head and his breath stuttered in his throat when he saw Tammy standing there. It was really hard for him to stay seated. He wanted to leap from the sofa, sweep her up in his arms, and carry her to his and Carter’s bedroom.
She looked so fresh and beautiful standing in the doorway with the towel wrapped around her. Her face was pink and shiny from being washed. Her long hair was still a little damp from having been washed, but she had obviously spent time drying the wavy brown tresses and they were floating around her shoulders. Crag could just imagine holding those strands in his hands or wrapping them around his wrist while he fucked her mouth.
He gulped and glanced at Carter and then back to Tammy. Carter spun around to see what he was looking at, and he heard his mate draw in a gasp of air.
“So fucking beautiful,” Carter whispered, and Crag knew that Tammy wouldn’t have heard him. Crag had only just picked up the words with his wolf hearing.
“Are you okay, darlin’?” Crag asked and hoped she didn’t hear the husky quality of his voice.
“No,” Tammy sighed.
Crag and Carter were off the sofa and standing in front of her before she could blink.
“What’s wrong, baby?” Carter nudged her chin up with a finger, and Crag nearly swallowed his tongue when he saw the desire in her eyes. He inhaled deeply and nearly groaned when he smelled her sweet scent of pine forest and honeysuckle, and the aroma of her arousal.
“It hurts,” Tammy whispered.
Crag frowned. “What hurts, darlin’?”
“Everything.”
“Tammy, are you saying…” Carter gulped audibly and glanced at him before looking back at Tammy.
Tammy reached out, took one of each of their hands in one of hers, and slowly lifted them up. When she placed his and Carter’s hands on her breasts, Crag growled low in his throat. It took a moment for him to get his brain to function so he could speak.
“We need to hear the words, darlin’, but before you do, make damn sure this is what you want. If Carter and I make love to you, we are going to claim you. There will be no going back or walking away. Once mated a wolf can’t be away from its mate. If you walk away after you let us mark you, you would be condemning us to a long, slow, painful death.”
Tammy dropped their hands, and as much as Crag wanted to continue holding her breast, he needed to be sure she was totally committed to this. He dropped his hand and stepped back, and Carter did the same. He hoped his disappointment didn’t show on his face.
“I want you both to make love to me and claim me. I want to belong to you. I don’t know how it’s even possible for me to feel this way after such a short time, but I love you both so much.”
Carter was the first to react. He stepped forward, swept Tammy up into his arms, and carried her toward the master bedroom.
Crag rushed to catch up. He had been a little stunned to hear what he’d wanted to hear, and now that he and Carter were going to claim Tammy, he was feeling a little nervous. She was so much smaller and more fragile than them, and the last thing he wanted to do was hurt her, but he figured as long as he and Carter took their time with her then everything should be fine.
Please, let everything be fine.
* * * *
Tammy was so happy she wanted to shout to the stars. When she’d heard Crag and Carter say that they loved her, her heart had filled with warmth and joy and something inside had clicked. She knew that she was supposed to be with these men. They had talked about fate when they’d told her how they’d met, and she felt that kismet had led her to Aztec and these two men, too.
Carter placed her on the bed and then he and Crag got up beside her. Carter leaned down and kissed her. He started off slow, belying the hungry look in his eyes. His lips brushed back and forth over hers, and when she sighed he pushed his tongue into her mouth to glide along hers. The kiss grew deeper, hotter, wilder, and hungrier, and by the time he released her mouth she was panting.
Crag shifted on the bed, and she turned to look at him. “We’ll try and go slow with you, darlin’, but I am so damn hungry for you. If we do anything to frighten you I want you to let us know. Okay?”
“Yes. Kiss me, Crag.”
“My pleasure, Tammy.”
Tammy reached up as he leaned down, and then he was kissing her. There was no coaxing or cajoling with Crag. He slanted his mouth over hers and kissed her rapaciously. She whimpered into his mouth, threaded her fingers into his hair, and held him tight, not wanting to let him break the kiss. But eventually he did and she was glad because she was starting to see stars.
Carter reached out and skimmed his fingers over the top of her breasts, causing her to shiver. When his fingers untucked the top of the towel, he looked at her for consent before he pulled it away.
“Do it, Carter,” Tammy demanded.
“I think our little mate is hungry, Carter. If you don’t pull that towel away now, I will,” Crag rasped.
“Impatient much?” Tammy teased.
“You have no idea, darlin’.”
“
Your eyes are glowing,” Tammy said and then looked at Carter. Carter slowly opened the towel and exposed her body. After he’d looked her up and down, he met her gaze again. “Your eyes are glowing, too.”
“Our wolves are close to the surface because they are just as eager to claim you as we are, baby. God, you’re sexy. You are the most stunning woman I have ever seen.”
“Thank you.” Tammy smiled and then perused their bodies. “You two have way too many clothes on.”
“We’ll take them off soon, darlin’, but they stay on for a bit yet. If we take them off right now we are going to want to fuck you. We want to give you pleasure first.”
Crag reached out, cupped her breast, and then began to knead it. Tammy gasped and arched up, trying to get more of his touch. When Carter started doing the same to her other breast, she mewled, but when they both pinched her nipples at the same time, she cried out. Zings of pleasure shot straight down to her pussy, and cream leaked out onto her folds.
And then they both took her nipples into their mouths. The suctioning action ramped her desire up even more, and she moved restlessly. Crag released her nipple with a pop and stared deeply into her eyes. “You taste incredible, darlin’, but I need to taste more of you.”
Tammy drew in a ragged breath when Crag began kissing, licking, and nibbling his way down her body. When his head was at hip level, he swiped his tongue on the sensitive flesh just inside her hipbone, and she moaned and giggled at the same time.
“Someone’s ticklish,” Crag licked her again and she burst out laughing, but when he moved between her legs and hunkered down until his head was hovering over her mound, her breath caught in her throat.
He kept his eyes locked to hers and slowly lowered his head. The first lick of his tongue had her thrusting her hips up, but he gripped her pelvic bones and held her down. Carter released her nipple from his mouth and then covered her breasts with his big hands. He bent down and took her mouth again, and this time there were no preliminaries. The kiss was carnal from start to finish.
Crag slurped and licked, sucked and nibbled all over her pussy. When he laved his tongue over her clit and started pushing a finger into her cunt at the same time, she nearly shot off the bed. The pleasure was so good it was almost painful. Crag added another finger and pressed them in and out of her sheath, gaining speed and depth with every pump of his fingers.
Heat curled low in her belly, and her pussy began to ripple. The tension forming inside her built higher and higher, until she didn’t think she could stand it anymore. And then she was right on the cusp. Her limbs were shaking. Her belly was quivering, and her toes curled under.
Tammy tilted her head back and screamed as she was battered from left to right, from top to bottom, with nirvana. Her pussy clenched down hard on Crag’s fingers and then unclenched over and over. It wasn’t until the last contraction waned that she became aware of her surroundings again.
Carter was whispering to her. “You are so sexy, baby. I can’t wait to make love with you.”
“Hmm, delicious,” Crag growled and then slowly eased his fingers from her pussy and sat up between her splayed thighs.
“I need you both.” Tammy reached out and was pleased when both men clasped her hands. “I want you to make love to me and make me yours.”
“We want that, too, baby.” Carter kissed her lightly on the lips and then rolled off the bed and began tugging at his clothes. Crag got to his feet at the foot of the bed and started to do the same.
With every inch of luscious skin they revealed, Tammy grew hungrier. She couldn’t believe how muscular and handsome they were, and they were all hers. It was hard to keep up with them because Carter was standing at the side of the bed and Crag at the foot, but she turned her head back and forth as they removed their clothes. Carter was sleekly muscled, but she could see the strength in his body as the sinew and tendons moved beneath his tanned skin. Crag was brawnier in build but just as handsome as Carter, with his darker coloring.
She perused their bodies from head to knees and couldn’t help but stare at their hard cocks. Carter’s penis was longer than Crag’s and quite thick, but when she saw how much bigger in girth Crag was, she gulped nervously and closed her legs.
“Don’t be scared of me, darlin’. I promise to go slow. I wouldn’t hurt you for the world.”
Tammy nodded but couldn’t seem to take her eyes off of his erection. When Carter moved around the bed to stand beside Crag, she looked up and met each of their gazes.
“He’s quite impressive, isn’t he, baby?”
“So are you,” Tammy panted.
Carter smiled then reached out and fisted Crag’s cock. Crag tipped his head back and groaned.
“That is so sexy.” Tammy rolled onto her hands and knees and crawled down to the end of the bed. “I love seeing you kiss, but this is way hotter.”
“You should taste him.” Carter winked at her and then cupped Crag’s balls in his hand. “He tastes as good as you do.”
Tammy slithered off the end of the bed and went to her knees. She looked at Carter and opened her mouth. Carter placed the tip of Crag’s cock on her lips, and she swirled her tongue around the head, delighting in the taste of the salty-sweet pre-cum before closing her lips around the crown of his dick.
“Fuck!” Crag looked down, and then he stroked her face. “As much as I want to let you two continue, if you keep that up I’m going to come.
“We have a mate to claim, Carter,” Crag said in a deep, growly voice. “You and Tammy can play all you want another time.”
Chapter Eleven
Tammy clung to Crag’s shoulders when he bent down and lifted her up. He placed her in the middle of the bed and then crawled up after her. Crag covered her body with his, but without touching her. His weight was supported on his hands and knees on the outside of her body and he just stared down at her. He was looking at her so hungrily her body responded in kind. Her areolas contracted and her nipples pebbled. Her breathing and heartbeat escalated and her pussy clenched.
“You are so gorgeous, darlin’. I can’t wait to have you as my mate.” Crag bent his elbows, and then he was kissing her.
Tammy reached up and caressed his hard muscular chest. Her palms tingled as she swept her hands over his body. When she got to his lower abs, she felt his stomach muscles jump as if in anticipation of a more intimate touch from her. But when she moved her hand lower, he grabbed her wrist and stopped her.
“I don’t want to lose control, Tammy. You can touch me later, but I’m on edge right now, darlin’.”
The bed dipped on the left side, and she glanced at Carter. Both men’s faces were taut with tension, and she realized it was because of her. Warmth invaded her heart as well as her body, and she was about to speak, to tell them that she loved them, but Crag placed a finger on her lips.
“No more talking, Tammy. I want you to let your mind go and just feel. Okay?”
Tammy nodded.
Crag placed a knee between hers and nudged her legs apart. He sat on his haunches and put his hands on her hips. He caressed up her sides, cupped her breasts and kneaded them, and then caressed back down her body. When he reached her mound, he stroked through her pubic hair and then down from the top of her slit to her pussy hole.
“You’re wet and ready for me, aren’t you, darlin’?”
“Yes,” Tammy sighed.
Crag maneuvered on his knees until his cock met her pussy. He reached down between their bodies, palmed the base of his cock, and then ran the tip through her wet folds.
“I’ll go nice and slow for you, Tammy, but you let me know if you need me to stop. Okay?”
“Hmm,” Tammy moaned when Crag’s cock began to press into her.
Carter smoothed his hand over her ribs and cupped and massaged one of her breasts, but when he took her nipple between his thumb and finger and squeezed, pleasure shot straight down to her clit and sheath.
Tammy whimpered when Crag’s cockhead popped through h
er wet tissues and tight muscles. Her cunt clenched and she tried to stay relaxed, but it had been a long time since she’d had sex and Crag wasn’t a little man.
“Easy, darlin’,” Crag rasped. “Take a nice, deep breath for me.”
Tammy took a deep breath and slowly released it. As she exhaled, she felt her muscles loosen slightly.
“That’s it. Good girl, Tammy.” Crag moved his hand to the top of her mound and pressed a finger to her clit. He applied a light pressure but didn’t move his finger, just held it there. And then he started pushing in again. He took his time and stopped often, giving her time to adjust to his cock going inside her, but by the time he was in balls-deep, Tammy felt almost desperate with desire. Juices were leaking out of her pussy and coating her ass.
“You okay, darlin’?” Crag panted.
“Yes. No.”
“No?” Crag raised an eyebrow in query.
“You need to move,” Tammy gasped. “Please? Move!”
Crag shifted one hand to her hip but kept the other on her mound and clit, and then he did what she asked. He began to move. Tammy moaned at the pleasure of having her pussy stroked inside and arched up into his next thrust.
“You feel so good, Tammy,” Crag said in a deep, raspy voice. “Like fucking heaven and home.”
“Does it feel good having Crag’s cock moving inside you, baby?” Carter asked while pinching both her nipples.
“God yes!”
“It’s about to get a whole lot better, darlin’.”
Crag picked up the pace of his thrusting hips until his body was slapping against hers. With each advance and retreat, the warmth that had been simmering inside her grew hotter and brighter. Her internal walls rippled around his hard, shuttling dick, and then he began to lightly rub his finger over her clit. Liquid heat spread through her veins, and she couldn’t stay still anymore. The exquisite pleasure grew in intensity each time he shoved his cock into her pussy, and her legs, arms, and belly began to tremble. With each slide and glide, the pressure inside her built higher and higher.
