“Yes,” Mari answered in a near hiss as she drew out the S. “So good.”
“It’s about to get a hell of a lot better, Mari,” Sin said just before he started pounding in and out of her fast, hard, and deep.
The base of his spine was already tingling, but he needed Marigold to find her release first. There was no way he was going first. He angled his hips a little further and groaned as his sensitive corona rubbed over her G-spot. The warmth in his back spread out, and he ground his teeth together, hoping to hold off a little longer.
Sin watched her face as her cheeks tinged a brighter pink and her breathing grew faster. When he felt her cunt ripple around his shuttling length, he knew she was getting close, but so was he. He reached around her right leg further and placed his hand on the top of her mound, stretched a finger out, and started to lightly rub her clit.
“Oh God,” Mari moaned, her head starting to thrash on the pillow beneath it.
More of her juices coated his dick, and her internal walls got tighter. Sin caressed her clitoris faster with a firmer touch and watched through passion-heavy, narrowed eyes as her mouth opened and her eyes seemed to widen before her eyeballs rolled back into her head.
The soft shout from her mouth was the prelude to her climax.
She clamped around him so hard he had trouble pushing back into her contracting pussy. Another gush of cream bathed his cock in her cum, and then he was the one shouting. He shoved into her twice more and froze with his cock embedded deep in her cunt.
Fire converged from his balls as they drew up and raced up his shaft before erupting out the tip. He roared as his whole body trembled with his release.
Sin had never felt anything like making love to his mate, but he wasn’t finished with her yet. He leaned forward just as her pussy began to relax around his cock, and after licking her neck on the opposite side to where Taylor had, he bit into her flesh.
Mari screamed as her body tautened and she climaxed again. Her quivering clenching flesh drew more aftershocks from his cock and more cum from his balls deep into her womb. But that wasn’t all he felt. The tendrils of their bond began forming, and to his surprise, he felt her in his heart. Not that she wasn’t already there on an emotional level, because she was. It was almost impossible for a wolf not to fall instantly in love with their mate, but this was more poignant on a deeper level and there was no way for the bond forming to be broken unless by death.
Sin removed his teeth from her shoulder and lapped at the wound. The sweet taste of her blood still in his mouth, and the fact that they now had an unbreakable bond satisfied his wolf to a languid contentment, he’d never felt from his animal before.
He pushed up on his arms and stared down at the love of his life. His heart clenched and his cock twitched when he saw the flush and dreamy expression on her face. Her breathing was just starting to even out, and he noticed that her eyes were open slightly.
“You okay, honey?”
“Yeah.” She sighed and smiled up at him.
Sin wrapped her up in his arms, and as he kissed her he rolled them both over onto their sides. She whimpered when his deflated cock slipped from her body, and he couldn’t help but moan with disappointment. He wanted to stay connected to her in any way he could, heart, mind, body, and soul, but he knew that wasn’t possible. Not when his cock had gone flaccid. He released her lips and hugged her close, and she snuggled up into his chest, her nose pressed against his skin as she inhaled. He could have spent the rest of the night and the next day with her in his arms, and if it hadn’t been for the low, rumbling growl Michael emitted, he may just have tried to convince Mari to do just that.
When he looked up at his brother and saw the voracious hunger in his eyes, Sin kissed her on the forehead and reluctantly released her before rolling from the bed and heading to the bathroom. He just hoped that Michael didn’t lose control with their mate, but he knew Taylor would step in if necessary. Plus he trusted his brother not to hurt their woman. It was ingrained in them to love and protect their mate, but sometimes their animals could get away from them.
* * * *
Michael’s wolf was clawing at his insides, and he wasn’t sure if he could touch Mari without losing it. He’d waited so long to find their mate, but after watching first Taylor and then Sin make love and claim her, he was so damn horny that he was shaking.
“I don’t know if I can do this without hurting her,” Michael told Sin and Taylor.
“Yes, you can,” Taylor replied as he pushed up off the sofa and walked over to the bed. “The fact that you’re worried is enough for me. Even though your wolf is pushing at you, you are still in control.”
“You won’t hurt her, Michael. She’s your mate. You’ll do anything to make sure she never gets hurt and to protect her,” Sin said.
“Damn straight,” Michael growled.
“Then claim your mate,” Taylor said.
Michael reached out to Mari with shaking hands, but instead of gripping her shoulders and turning her onto her back like he wanted to, he wrapped his arms around her and spooned her from behind.
She looked back at him over her shoulder and smiled before pushing her head deeper into the pillow and pushing her ass back against his hard cock. His wolf howled with joy inside his mind, urging Michael to bite her and claim their mate, but he wrested for control and pushed his animal back down.
When Mari shifted, he loosened his hold on her and she turned over to face him. Her small hand came up to his cheek and he closed his eyes, savoring the contact and her delicious apple-cinnamon scent as well as the perfume of her desire. And although he wanted her with a hunger he’d never felt before, he was worried that she could be sore and tender.
“Are you all right, Michael?” Mari asked as she stroked a finger down his face.
He tried to dredge up a smile for her, but he just couldn’t seem to manage it right then. “Yes, sexy. I’m fine.”
“No you’re not,” Mari whispered. “What’s wrong?”
“I—ˮ Michael inhaled and then released the breath slowly, albeit a bit raggedly, before swallowing hard. He closed his eyes and tried to think of how to answer her.
“Don’t you want me?”
He opened his eyes at the unexpected question, and when he saw the pain in her eyes he cursed himself. “Of course I want you, Mari.”
“Then what’s the problem?”
“You have to be feeling a little tender,” he said. “Mari, me and my wolf are so famished for you I’m scared I could hurt you.”
Mari gave him a soft smile before she pressed both her hands onto his shoulders and gave him a slight shove. He rolled onto his back and then watched with awed anticipation as she got onto her hands and knees before slinging a leg over him and straddling him.
She leaned over and lightly pressed her lips to his. Michael wanted to grab hold of her hips, lift her up, and impale her on his aching, dripping cock, but instead he fisted the sheet in his hands and was only vaguely aware of his claws ripping the material.
“I’m fine, Michael,” Mari said when she drew her mouth from his.
“Really?”
“Yes, really.”
“Then take me, mate. Make me yours.”
His last three words had come out more than a little garbled, but it didn’t seem to bother Mari in the least. In fact, his growly voice had the opposite effect of what he’d thought. The heat in her eyes ramped up even more, and she bent over him and began licking and nibbling on his neck. He hadn’t frightened her at all.
Having her mouth on him was a huge turn-on, and he struggled to keep his animal down. Fur kept erupting and receding on his arms, and his claws were doing the same thing. His canines had already dropped, but he clenched his teeth and dug his fingers deeper into the mattress.
“Sexy, I can’t…” He couldn’t even finish talking he was so turned on. He felt like he was about to lose control if he didn’t get inside her now.
“Mari,” Taylor said as he m
oved in behind her and gripped her hips. “Michael is barely hanging on, baby. Take him inside your sweet-smelling cunt.”
Michael was grateful for Taylor’s intervention. He released the mattress and dug his clawed fingers into the palms of his hands, drawing blood and latching onto the slight pain as he tried to slow his breathing. It was a useless endeavor, though, because his animal was about to take over.
He lifted a leg, shoved Taylor back, and lifted Mari quickly before placing her on the bed on her hands and knees. He was aware of the growling sounds coming from his mouth, but he couldn’t stop the animalistic noises. In the blink of an eye he was behind her, his hand on her back between her shoulder blades as he pressed her upper body down to the bed.
After testing her pussy to make sure she was wet and ready for him, he covered her back and shoved inside with one long thrust. Snarls erupted from his mouth as her wet heat enveloped his cock, but he held still to give her body time to adjust to his invasion as well as to try to get his wolf back on a leash.
“Baby, I’m sorry.”
“More,” Mari demanded as she wriggled her hips and then shoved her ass back at him.
Michael’s wolf growled at his mate’s show of dominance, and before he could even think about what he was doing, his instincts took over. He covered her body with his, opened his mouth over the back of her neck to keep her still, and started rocking his hips backward and forward, sliding his cock along her tight, hot, wet walls.
“Yes,” Mari moaned and tried to push back against him, but she couldn’t move far with his body covering hers as he pounded in and out of her.
What worried Michael, though, was the fact that he was already feeling that tingling heat at the base of his spine. He needed to give Mari pleasure before taking his own. He lifted onto one arm and cupped a breast before pinching and plucking at her nipple. She whimpered and shivered as her cunt clenched around his shuttling cock. The heat was growing more intense, and he knew he wouldn’t be able to hold off. So he released her breast and caressed his way down her belly to the top of her mound. He covered her pussy with his hand and then moved his index finger over her clit. Back and forth, he lightly stroked over the engorged nub as he continued to pump his hard dick in and out of her quickly.
She groaned and tried to lift her head, but he tightened his teeth on her nape in warning without breaking the skin and was relieved when she held still. He put firmer pressure on her clit and rubbed faster as he drove into her hard, fast, and deep.
“Oh. Ohohoh.” Mari moaned just as her pussy twitched and rippled before she squeezed him hard as she started to come.
Michael groaned with pleasure and relief that he’d been able to hold out after all. He withdrew his mouth from her nape, wrapped his arms around her chest, and lifted her until she was on her knees only. He pushed her hair aside, licked the skin on her shoulder right next to Sin’s mark, and howled with joy as he sunk his teeth into her flesh.
The sounds he made were muffled by her skin, but he continued howling and growling as he thrust into her hard once more, and then he was climaxing.
His balls were hard up against his body while fire shot up his shaft and erupted from the tip. He was trembling and shaking all over, and although he felt as weak as a newborn pup, he also felt potent and empowered. The tendrils were already forming from his heart to Marigold’s, and he let the love he felt for her flow into her heart. She continued to moan and whimper as aftershocks wracked her body, and he felt heartened when he also felt a gentle, caring warmth sent back to him.
By the time his balls had emptied, they were a little tender from such a massive climax, but he absorbed every sensation and savored it. Of course he’d heard that making love to and claiming a mate was a wondrous, poignant thing, but he never would have imagined just how astoundingly emotional it was. Until now.
He carefully lowered Mari down to the mattress on her belly and groaned when his deflating cock twitched as it slipped from her body. Michael lay down beside her after rolling her onto her side and drew her into his arms. That was when he noticed her eyes were closed and her breathing had even out.
He glanced over at Taylor, who shifted closer to Mari’s back, concern for their mate causing him to frown. “Did I hurt her?”
“No,” Taylor answered.
Concern still waged with his relief, but he knew that Taylor or Sin would have stopped him if he had hurt Marigold in any way.
He looked down at the bottom of the bed when Sin sat on the end.
“She’s tired and rightfully so. We all just claimed her one after the other.” Sin caressed a hand up and down Mari’s shin. “I’m going to go and fill the spa bath. She’s going to be sore. The warm water will help ease any aches and pains she might have.”
Michael nodded at Sin as he rose and headed to the bathroom. He buried his face into the side of her neck and hair as tears of joy leaked out. He, his brother, and Taylor had never thought to have a mate. But now that they did, he was going to make sure he did everything he could to keep her happy and safe.
Chapter Ten
Con sniffed the air and glanced around to make sure he was still alone. Henderson had just fucked and mated the human bitch. He’d heard their sounds of pleasure, and although he was pissed that his pack mate had coerced her into accepting him as her mate, he was also glad. It would make it so much more intense when he took her from the asshole. He decided to use her to appease his lust and then he would kill her.
He didn’t want to hear any more of their coupling. It made him sick to his stomach that Henderson was taking a human as a mate, but what angered him more was the fact the prick had agreed to combine Nomad Pack to Sugar Creek’s Pack. Spicer had been a harsh Alpha and a bully, but he’d treated Con well. He turned away, keeping to the shadows, and headed back to his cabin.
He missed his lover so much. The grief had turned to anger, and it felt like it was eating his insides away. He found himself cursing Spicer and his plans. He’d wanted to infiltrate Sugar Creek and become one of the most powerful Alphas in the US.
Con had stood by his lover through thick and thin, even if he hadn’t agreed with all of his lover’s decisions. Nothing mattered now. Nothing but taking that spineless fucker down for killing the love of his life.
He always knew that Henderson didn’t have any balls, and the decision to merge the packs confirmed it. The coward couldn’t even be bothered ruling the pack he’d fought for. And how he could make friends from the other pack was beyond his comprehension. But the why of it didn’t matter. He was going to seek revenge, and then he would take great pleasure in watching the downfall of the Nomad Pack’s yellow-bellied Alpha.
He rubbed hands together as he started planning.
Vengeance was going to be so sweet.

When Mari woke the next morning she could tell she’d slept way longer than she usually did. The sun was brighter than her normal waking time, and she felt well rested. She grinned when she remembered making love with all three men, and as she yawned she stretched out her cramped muscles. Her inner thighs protested slightly and she was a little tender between the legs. She’d expected to wake up and be barely able to move, but she was pleased that she wasn't too stiff and sore.
She also realized she felt clean and comfortable and was vaguely aware of the recollection of having a bath. At first she’d thought she dreamt that, but she appreciated that it had been real. Her men had taken care of her when she was too exhausted to do so herself.
“How are you feeling, honey?” Sin asked.
“I feel amazing,” she replied, thinking there was something a bit odd about their conversation, but she was too blissfully relaxed and content to care. “I can’t believe just how good I feel.”
Mari turned her head to see that Sin was on his side beside her with his head resting on his hand as he looked down at her. When she caught movement in her peripheral vision, she looked toward the doorway to see Michael and Taylor entering.

“Is that coffee for me?” Mari asked as she rolled onto her back and sat up, pulling the sheet up over her breasts.
“Yes, it’s for you, sexy,” Michael said as he walked over and sat next to her hip and handed her the mug of coffee. “How are you feeling, Mari?”
Mari took a sip of her drink before answering and sighed with delight at the taste. “Good.”
Taylor sat on the end of the bed and tapped her foot. “We need you to answer us honestly, honey. If you don’t and we hurt you because you haven’t told us how you really feel, we’re all going to be a little angry. It’s our job to make sure you aren’t hurting and that we don’t hurt you either.”
Mari sighed. She understood what Taylor was trying to say, but she was an adult and knew her own body and mind. She was also a little piqued that he didn’t seem to totally believe her.
She frowned at him as she sipped more coffee. “I don’t lie. I feel fine.”
“I wasn’t calling you a liar. I just…”
Michael cupped her cheek to gain her attention. “I was a little rough with you last night, beautiful. We just need to know that you’re okay.”
Mari could see that all three of her mates were worried about her, but she could also feel what they were feeling. Michael was more than concerned for her. He felt guilty that he’d almost let his wolf garner control, and he was afraid he’d hurt her badly. Sin and Taylor weren’t as worried, but they were still fretful about her being sore.
She clasped Michael’s wrist with her hand and nuzzled her face into his palm. “I’m a little tender but nothing to be anxious over. I loved everything you did to me. It was more than I ever could have imagined.”
Michael sighed with relief when she pushed her contentment toward him, and then he plucked the coffee mug from her hand, lifted her up, and plonked her in his lap, before hugging her tight. “Thank God, Mari.”
He nuzzled her neck and then licked over his mating mark. Her cunt spasmed, and cream coated her folds with renewed hunger. Her body heated and she shivered with desire as the cool air in the room brushed over her naked skin.
