Sugar Creek 5: Marigold's Werewolf Mates [Sugar Creek 5] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting)

by Becca Van

  Mari couldn’t believe she was getting turned on again. Especially after a night of making love, and although she was a little sensitive, her body was aching to be filled all over again.

  “What’s happening to me?” she moaned when Michael bent down and drew a nipple into his mouth. Sparks of sensation shot straight down to her pussy. Her folds and clit swelled with blood, and the ache began to grow more intense.

  “It’s the mating heat, baby,” Taylor said as he came to stand in front of her.

  “I’ve never felt…I didn’t know…Oh God.”

  Taylor knelt down in front of her and slanted his mouth over hers. He kissed her deeply, passionately, tasting every nook and cranny until she was on fire once more. Someone lifted her up and placed her back on the bed, and somehow Taylor continued kissing her.

  Sin latched onto a nipple and suckled strongly, and Michael got between her legs and pushed them wide. She moaned and bucked when his mouth covered her pussy and he slurped on her wet, delicate flesh. His tongue pushed into her sheath, and he growled with what sounded like approval as he withdrew it and drank down her cream. Then his tongue laved across her clit lightly before he flickered the tip over her clit rapidly with the point.

  Mari cried out when Michael thrust two fingers into her cunt and began to finger-fuck her. She bucked up and then settled down and matched his pumping rhythm. Within seconds she was on the verge of orgasm. Just another couple of pumps as the pads of his fingers rubbed over that very sensitive spot inside as his tongue lapped over her aching pearl was enough to send her up and over the edge.

  Her whole body shook and shivered as her cunt and womb contracted with nirvana. Taylor kept kissing her while Sin scraped his teeth over one nipple and pinched the other and Michael continued to drive his fingers in and out of her pussy. Just as she was beginning to come back down from the euphoric high with small aftershocks quaking her body, the three men struck at the same time.

  Her mouth opened on a silent cry as Taylor and Sin sank their teeth into her shoulders where they’d marked her last night, and Michael did the same, but this time on the inside of her thigh. The pleasure was so intense she couldn’t even draw in a breath. Her vision dimmed and she slumped onto the bed as rapture encompassed her from the inside out.

  Mari had no idea how long it took her to become aware of her surroundings again, and she didn’t really care. All that mattered was the heat which had been building up inside her had abated for now. But what was even better was that she could feel all three of her men in her heart and she was in theirs.

  Tears of emotion pricked her eyes and then spilled out of the corners. She opened her eyes to see all three of them looking at her as if she’d invented the wheel and hoped she could live up to their expectations. She was, after all, a normal human woman, and taking on three men, werewolves to be exact, was a huge undertaking. She hoped that she could make them all happy and keep up with each and every one of them. After their latest round of lovemaking, she didn’t think she’d have any problems in that department, but she was worried about screwing up when she met more of their family and putting her foot in her mouth.

  Although they’d told her about pack hierarchy, she wasn’t infallible and sometimes she opened her mouth before thinking things through. Would there be repercussions for her and her mates if she said or did the wrong thing?

  God, I hope not.

  “Baby, you are amazing,” Taylor said right before kissing her lightly on the lips.

  “No, that would be you all.” Mari smiled.

  “Why don’t you go and shower, sugar?” Michael suggested, and then he kissed her thigh and rose to his feet.

  Mari couldn’t help but notice that her cream was still glistening on his chin. He smirked at her right before putting his fingers into his mouth and sucking them clean, and then he winked at her while he pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his face. He brought the material to his nose and inhaled deeply. “Now I can smell you anytime I want.”

  Normally Mari would have been embarrassed about anyone doing something like that, but since he’d just been eating her pussy, she wasn’t too worried about it. Plus it sort of made her feel good to know that he liked the way she smelled and tasted and wanted to carry her scent around with him.

  “Breakfast will be ready by the time you come out,” Sin said as he kissed her on the shoulder.

  And that was the moment Mari realized that they could talk to her in her head and remembered that he’d spoken to her that way earlier.

  “Can you all talk to me this way?” she asked, testing her new skill.

  “Yes, baby,” Taylor replied.

  “Sure, honey,” Sin answered.

  “You bet, sexy,” Michael said, and then he waggled his eyebrows at her before turning and walking out.

  “That is so amazing,” she whispered under her breath.

  “Yes, it is,” Taylor said.

  “You heard that?”

  “We’re werewolves, baby. Our hearing is exceptional. Your senses are going to be stronger too.”

  Mari laughed, took Taylor’s offered hand, and got off the bed.

  “Don’t take too long, honey.” Sin swatted her naked ass as she passed by, making her giggle.

  Mari was so happy she wanted to yell at the top of her lungs to let the world know how she felt, but she didn’t. Instead she hurried to the bathroom. She didn’t want to take too long because she was looking forward to sharing a meal with her men.

  Michael, Sin, and Taylor worked in companionable silence as they cooked breakfast. He felt so much lighter now that he knew he hadn’t hurt Mari last night. It had been hard to sleep with guilt weighing on his mind. Plus his wolf was no longer clawing at his guts with aggression. He’d really begun to think the best thing for their pack was to be put down, but now that they had Mari and he’d mated her, he felt so tranquil. Even as a kid he hadn’t felt such peace, and he hoped to God nothing ever happened to his mate, because he knew he would totally lose control if it did.

  “I can’t believe how content my wolf is,” Taylor said.

  “I was just thinking the same thing.” Michael glanced up from flipping the bacon on the grill.

  “I never expected to feel the connection to her so quickly after claiming her. It was instant.” Sin removed the cooked scrambled eggs from the stove. “I thought it would take a few days before the bond between us was strong.”

  “I think it depends on the people involved,” Taylor said. “Everyone is different. Sometimes it takes longer for the mind link to kick in. Once our mate made up her mind to accept us, she opened up totally.”

  “Yeah, she did, didn’t she?” Michael stated more than asked.

  “She’s the type of person that sticks to a decision once her mind is made up,” Sin interjected.

  “God, I am so in love with her,” Michael said as he started taking the food to the table.

  “You’re not the only one,” Taylor said.

  “We have to keep her safe.” Sin placed the last plate on the table before going back for the mugs of coffee.

  “Safe from what?” Mari asked as she entered the kitchen.

  Michael’s heart stuttered and then started racing. They hadn’t wanted to tell her about the threat to Taylor as yet, but it looked like she wasn’t going to back down until she was satisfied with the answer. She stopped near the table and looked from him to Sin and Taylor with her arms crossed over her chest, beneath her breasts. His eyes latched onto those soft, plump, feminine mounds beneath the sweater she had on, but when she cleared her throat he met her eyes once more.

  “Sit down and eat first, beautiful.” Michael pulled a chair out for her and pushed it in as she sat down. “We’ll explain everything after breakfast.”

  “Okay.” Mari gave a resigned sigh as she picked up the mug of coffee and started sipping on it. She moaned, and he had to shift in his seat to relieve the strain of the tight denim over his crotch as
his cock inflated. Damn, their mate was sexy, but what surprised him was that she had no clue how beautiful and sensual she was.

  “What are you all doing today?” Mari asked before taking a bite of her food.

  “Lucien’s called a meeting. We need to head up to the main house in an hour,” Sin answered.

  “Oh.” Mari sighed and slumped in her chair.

  Michael reached over and stroked her cheek. “What’s wrong, sexy?”

  “What am I supposed to do?”

  “What do you mean?” Taylor asked.

  “I’m used to working, staying busy. I can’t just sit around and do nothing all day long.”

  “What would you like to do?” Sin asked.

  “I don’t know.” Mari sighed. “I would really like to meet the other women living here. Other than Prim, I haven’t been able to interact with anyone. You three are keeping me locked up like a prisoner.”

  Michael felt guilty about that. They’d all been so worried about her safety they had hardly let her out of her own cabin or theirs. Although she hadn’t been here that long, he knew if it was him being kept behind the same four walls he would end up going stir-crazy.

  “She’s right,” Michael said.

  “Of course I’m right,” Mari replied with exasperation.

  Michael gave her a chagrinned smile. “I keep forgetting that you can hear us now.”

  Mari gave him the “you’d better not say anything about me” look, but then she gave him a soft smile.

  “Do you have a first-aid certificate, baby?” Taylor asked after he swallowed a mouthful of food.

  Mari nodded as she chewed.

  Sin sat up straighter in his chair. “The pack school has been open for a few months now. Melissa and Primrose have their hands full with classes. They’ve both been bemoaning the fact that they need someone in the office. I think you’d be perfect for the position if you’re willing. And the fact you have first aid is good. The young pups often get scrapes and such that need to be tended to.”

  Mari frowned. “But don’t you guys heal quickly? I’m sure I heard someone mention that.”

  Michael reached over and patted her arm. “We do, but sometimes a pup just needs a bit of coddling when they are hurting. You can clean up any scrapes or such and give them a cuddle.”

  “That sounds good,” Mari said. “But don’t you have to ask your Alpha first?”

  Taylor nodded. “We have to go up to the house this morning. You can meet our queen, Tessa, and her mates, and some of the other Omegas. We should have taken you to meet them before now.”

  “All right,” Mari replied. “Don’t you have to go to work? You’re a cop aren’t you?”

  “Yes,” Taylor said. “I put in for leave the moment I knew you were our mate. I don’t have to go back to work for a couple of weeks.”

  “Oh.” Mari shifted in her seat and then frowned as she clutched her hands together.

  “What’s wrong, Mari?” Michael could smell her nervousness and wondered what was going on. He hated that his mate was feeling uncertain.

  “What if they don’t like me?” She whispered her question.

  “Everyone is going to love you, honey,” Sin said as he got up from his seat and walked around the table. He tugged her to her feet and pulled her into his arms.

  “You can’t know that.” Mari sighed as she leaned her forehead on Sin’s chest.

  “Yes, I can. You’re family now. You’re our mate. Everyone in this pack will do everything to make sure you’re protected just like they do with the other women and the pups.”

  Michael rose to his feet and pressed his front to her back. “Don’t worry, beautiful. Everyone is gonna love you.”

  Chapter Eleven

  As they walked up the steps she drew in a deep breath, held it for a moment, and exhaled. Taylor squeezed her hand and looked down at her. “Don’t fret, baby. Everything will be fine. You’ll see.”

  Mari clutched at Taylor’s and Sin’s hands as they stopped before the closed doors to the main house. She felt a bit miffed when she realized they hadn’t answered her question about keeping her safe, but she held her tongue, for now. She was about to meet the leaders of the pack, and she was so nervous she was feeling ill. The breakfast she’d eaten wasn’t sitting well in her stomach, and she hoped she didn’t embarrass herself by throwing up.

  Even though she was nervous, she was grateful they had given her a few moments to gather her resolved before going inside. Mari swallowed and nodded her head and let them lead the way inside. She was surrounded by all three of her men, and when she saw the other tall, muscular men, she was glad. She felt safe with Michael at her back and Sin and Taylor at her sides.

  They walked into a large kitchen and dining room, and she saw an elderly woman bustling about making coffee. The table across the room was massive and looked big enough to seat at least thirty people. But it was the three men at the far end of the table that intimidated her. They all seemed to radiate authority and power. Plus they were all built like linebackers. She’d thought her men were authoritative, but these three men seemed more so. She glanced at the woman trying to wipe a little boy’s face clean while he pushed at her hands.

  Taylor released her hand and slung an arm around her shoulders before guiding her across the room.

  “Alpha, this is our mate, Marigold Bloom. Mari, this is Lucien, Rafe, and Gabe Woolf and their mate, Tessa, and their pup, Stefan.”

  Mari bowed her head. “I’m pleased to meet you all.”

  Tessa smiled at Mari as she picked her son up and hugged him before waving her hand toward the spare seat next to her. “Hi, Mari, take a seat. You have no idea how happy I am to have another woman around here. Have you had breakfast? I could have Alice bring you some.”

  “We’ve eaten, thanks.”

  “Have you met Sara?” Tessa asked.

  Mari looked toward where Tessa was pointing and saw Sara with two big blond men following her.

  Sara plonked down in the seat across from her and the men sat on either side of her. “Hi, you must be Marigold. I’m Sara, Melissa’s sister, and these two big lugs are my mates, Tony and Chase.”

  “Hi,” Mari said politely but wondered if there was something in the water they drank here. All the men were handsome, tall, and muscular, and they all seemed to exude dominance.

  “Lucien, we’re wondering if it would be okay for Mari to work in the school office. She has first-aid training and worked as a dental nurse,” Sin explained.

  “If that is what Marigold wants to do, I don’t see why not.” Lucien smiled at her and nodded, and she felt the tension leaving her body. The Alpha’s smile was genuine, and although she was still a little intimidated by all the big men, she felt like she was being accepted into the pack, no questions asked.

  “I have a better idea,” a deep voice said. Mari turned to see Ashton enter the room. “Hi, Mari.”

  “Hi, Ashton.”

  “How’s the ankle?”

  Mari was surprised to realize she’d forgotten all about her sprained ankle. Since her men had claimed her, the pain had ceased. She looked down and slightly lifted the leg of her jeans up. Her mouth gaped open when she saw that it was no longer swollen or bruised.

  “Wow. That’s…just wow.”

  Everyone in the room chuckled, and she felt her face heat when she found them all looking at her, but she laughed right along with them.

  “What was your idea, Ash?” Lucien asked.

  “If Mari is willing I would love to have her work with me.”

  Taylor let out a low, rumbling growl, and then so did Sin and Michael.

  Mari glared at them. “What is wrong with you three?”

  “I’m an unmated male, and since you’d be working with me if you accept my offer, they are feeling a little jealous.” Ashton grinned and winked at her.

  The growls grew louder.

  “Knock it off!” Mari snapped and smirked when her mates immediately ceased their show of pos
sessiveness. She turned back to face Ashton. “I only have basic first-aid skills.”

  “You have more skill than you realize. If you agree, you’d only need another three months’ study to become a medical nurse and you can do that online. There’ve been a few times where I needed help and I had to call on one of the men, but they are all so big and clumsy, they were more of a hindrance than help.”

  “Hey!” Taylor said.

  “You helped Ashton?” Mari asked.

  Taylor grimaced but nodded.

  “It didn’t matter if you weren’t much help, Taylor. At least you volunteered when you were needed.” Mari reached out and touched his arm. Her body went up in flames when he gave her a heated look, and she couldn’t help but respond to the hunger in his eyes. Her breasts swelled, her nipples hardened, and her pussy grew moist, making her clit ache.

  She turned when she heard loud sniffing and was horrified by the thought that everyone could smell her arousal. Her face got so hot she knew it had to be really red, so she lowered her head and wished she hadn’t taken the time to put her hair up in a ponytail. She really wanted to hide behind the long strands right then.

  “Stop it!” Tessa snapped. “Can’t you see you’re making her uncomfortable?”

  Nearly all the men in the room turned to face Tessa. If she hadn’t been so embarrassed right then, Mari would have burst out laughing. The men were all way bigger than Tessa, but they were bowing to her in deference.

  “Sorry, my queen,” a few of them said at the same time.

  “Geez Louise, would you all stop calling me that,” Tessa sort of muttered, but loud enough for even Mari to hear her.

  The men chuckled and started leaving. Sara stood with the help of her men. “You will have to make sure you come up to the house after lunch, Mari. We women have to stick together you know.” Sara smiled and then followed her men out.

  By the time everyone else had left, only Tessa and her son, her mates, as well as Alice, and Ashton remained in the room. Plus her men, of course. Thank the Lord. It was going to take Mari a while to get used to everyone. She didn’t even know all their names yet.
