“Yes!” Pepper cried out as she tightened her legs around his waist.
That was the last time either of them spoke for a while, but their gazes never wavered from each other’s.
Fin made love to her with such emotion, tears burned her eyes. Each time he surged back into her pussy, he increased the speed until their bodies were slapping together. The wet friction on her walls was astoundingly good, and she couldn’t help sobbing with pleasure each time Fin pistoned in deep. Cream dripped from her pussy, and the coil inside began to grow taut.
And then he changed tactics.
Each time he drove into her pussy, he gave a slight twist to his hips. Pepper moaned when his pubis pressed against her clit and cried out as the fire burning inside began to consume her.
Her whole body was as taut as a bowstring, and the heat was a fiery inferno.
“I can feel you,” Fin panted. “Your cunt’s rippling around my dick. So close. Let go, sweetness.”
Fin thrust in once, twice more, the head of his cock rubbing over that internal sweet spot, and on the third stroke, Pepper came.
She screamed as nirvana lifted her up and slammed her back down. Her pussy clamped down tight around Fin’s dick before letting go and clenching down again. Her whole body convulsed with ecstasy as Fin continued to drive his cock in and out of her pussy, prolonging her orgasm.
Just as the aftershocks began to wane, he licked over the skin at the crook of her neck, causing her to shiver and her just sated desire to perk up again.
And then he sank his long, curved canines into her flesh.
Pepper opened her mouth in a silent cry as euphoria hurtled her straight up into the stratosphere. Her body quaked and quivered, her pussy contracting and releasing over and over.
Fin shoved into her twice more and he shouted as he plunged in deep, and froze. His pelvis ground against hers, and she felt as if she were plummeting back to earth. His cock jerked and juddered inside of her. Warmth bathed her insides as he came and filled her with his cum. A white sheet of light flashed across her eyes, blinding her to everything but sensation. The light gathered in on itself and shot straight into her chest and into her heart.
Emotion swelled as she felt Fin lodge deep into her heart and soul, yet she could only feel a small amount of what he was feeling.
Finally, the shivers and shakes dissipated, leaving her so satiated she could barely open her heavy eyelids.
Pepper moaned when Fin’s teeth retracted from her shoulder and groaned and shivered as he licked over the bite wound.
Fin lifted his head to meet her gaze, and what she saw in his eyes had tears welling in her own.
Tears rolled down Fin’s cheeks, but the joyous expression on his face and the love in his eyes told her everything she’d ever wanted to know. Fin loved her. She wrapped her arms around his neck, buried her face in his delectable-smelling masculine flesh, and she cried.
Fin nuzzled her cheek with his and rolled them to their sides. He held her up against his body and caressed up and down her back.
“I love you, mate.” He kissed her temple and drew back so he could see her face, and then proceeded to kiss her eyes, nose, and finally her mouth.
Pepper cleared her emotionally constricted throat. “I love you, too. I don’t know how I could love you and Cal after only a couple of days, but I do.”
“Don’t question it, sweetness. If it’s right, it’s right.”
“You’re right.”
“Of course I am.” Fin grinned.
Pepper burst out laughing. Her laughter was full of happiness and love. Something she never thought to feel with another person, let alone two.
And though she tried to push the knot of anxiety in her gut away, it wouldn’t dislodge. Pepper had a feeling something really bad was coming their way.
She just hoped that if she was right, none of her new friends or her mates got hurt.
Chapter Thirteen
Pepper stared at her de Havilland, glad to see that the landing gear was down like it was supposed to be. She’d had no idea that Cal and Fin were experts in aircraft maintenance as well as air traffic controllers, but she was pleased they were.
“Where are the drugs?” she asked, gazing at Cal and then Fin.
“We left them in the plane,” Cal answered.
“Shouldn’t we inform the authorities?”
“We already have,” Fin replied.
“And?”
“They’re sending someone out to collect it.”
“How long is that going to take?” Pepper asked. “I need to get the plane back to Anchorage.”
“I thought you were going to call your boss.” Cal frowned.
“I was. I am.”
“Do you want us to make the call?” Fin asked.
Pepper couldn’t believe she was hedging. Normally, if something needed to be done, she got right in and did it, no matter how distasteful the chore. But for some reason, she was nervous about what her boss was going to say. He only had four planes, and now because of her, one was out of commission until the authorities released it. She could just imagine Doug blowing a gasket after she told him what was going on.
“No, I’ll do it now.” Pepper turned toward the hangar door and dug into the jeans she’d borrowed from Tammy. After swiping her finger across the screen to activate it, she pushed speed dial one.
“Where the hell are you? The storm’s been over for hours. I expected you back this afternoon.”
“Hi, Doug. How are you? I’m fine. Thanks for asking,” Pepper said facetiously.
“Glad to hear it. Now, what the hell is going on?” Doug shouted.
Pepper didn’t get the chance to reply because the phone was snatched from her hand. She spun on her heel to see Cal scowling at the phone before he lifted it to his ear.
“My name is Calloway Walden. Did you realize that your plane was being used to ship drugs? Did you also know that whoever planted said drugs sabotaged the landing gear on the aircraft? Pepper ended up making an emergency landing on the belly of the plane as it was starting to blizzard.”
“Who the fuck are you?” Pepper heard Doug yell.
“I’m one of the stupid assholes who just fixed your goddamn plane,” Cal roared.
“Cal.” Pepper stroked her hand over his chest, hoping to calm him down.
She heard Doug talking, but since he’d lowered his voice, she couldn’t hear what he was saying, but from the way anger began to blaze in Cal’s eyes, whatever it was couldn’t be good.
“When was this?” Cal paused to wait for a reply. “Why the hell didn’t you call sooner?” Again, he paused for Doug to reply. “The authorities are arriving tomorrow morning. Once they’ve secured the drugs and dusted for prints, Pepper will fly the plane back.”
“Good. Here’s Pepper.” Cal handed the phone to her and then hurried over to Fin. When they started whispering while watching her, she knew something bad was going down.
“What the fuck have you gotten yourself into, Pepper?”
“Hey, did you think I liked having to crash-land your plane in the middle of a blizzard?”
“Yeah. No. I’m sorry.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Someone broke into the office,” Doug answered.
“Why the hell would they do that? You don’t keep cash on the premises.”
“The only thing touched were the flight manifests.”
“Why would…oh shit!”
“Exactly.”
“Was there any footage of the burglar?”
“No. Whoever these assholes are, they knew what they were doing. They cut the power to the whole airport, and while we were all scrambling to get things up and running again, the fucker got into the office.”
“The power cut was a distraction.”
“Yes.”
“So whoever placed the drugs on my plane knows where I am,” Pepper stated.
“Yes.”
“But why would they choose to use my plane?
There’s nothing here.”
“I think whoever did it fucked up. My guess is it was supposed to be in Vince’s plane. He had cargo to deliver to Provideniya.”
“Russia?” she asked in a whisper.
“Yeah.”
“Shit!”
“What was delivered there?”
“Clothes and household items,” Doug said. “I think that was a ruse though. Once the plane was in Russia, it wouldn’t be hard to ship the drugs to Moscow or another major city.”
“I don’t like this.”
“I don’t either.” Doug sighed. “I’m just sorry you got caught up in this shit.”
“You aren’t the only one.” Pepper glanced at Cal and Fin, who were still deep in conversation. “Although…” She bit her lip as she tried to work out what to say next.
“Although what?” Doug asked.
“If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t have met the loves of my life.”
“What? It’s only been a few days.”
“Doesn’t matter. When it’s right, its right.” Pepper smiled as she quoted something Fin had said. “Oh, by the way.”
“What?” Doug barked.
“I’ll get the de Havilland back to you, but once I have, I quit.”
“What the fuck do mean you quit?” Doug shouted.
“I thought that was pretty succinct.”
“Don’t get smart with me. Flying is your life. What are you going to do now? Pop out a baby each year?”
“Don’t be an ass, Doug. I’m actually going to fly my guys’ plane.” Pepper grinned when Doug grumbled under his breath and then sighed.
“I’m happy for you, Pepper. You deserve some happiness in your life. And while I don’t understand you having more than one man, I can tell you love them very much. If things don’t work out, you’ll always have a place flying for me.”
“Thanks, Doug. I appreciate that. You’re just a big softy under that gruff exterior, aren’t you?”
“Don’t go telling anyone.”
“I won’t,” Pepper said. “Thanks for everything, Doug.”
“I should be thanking you. You’re my best pilot.”
“I thought Jarvis was the best.”
“He’s a close second.”
“Ah, you might want to start advertising for two more pilots,” Pepper suggested.
“Two? Why would I need two?”
“Because I’m going to poach Jarvis.”
“The hell you are,” Doug roared.
“Just be thankful for the heads-up. No one else would give you that courtesy.”
“He won’t want to uproot to that small island.”
“Never say never.” Pepper grinned.
“His new wife just had a baby.”
“I know. By becoming my copilot, he’ll be working fewer hours with the better pay.”
“Fuck!”
“Take care of yourself, Doug.”
“You, too.” Pepper disconnected the call before walking toward her mates. They stopped talking and smiled at her, but the smile didn’t reach their eyes. “Those people are going to come here, aren’t they?”
“Doug told you?” Cal cursed under his breath as he pulled her into his arms.
Fin moved up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his chin on the top of her head. “You don’t need to worry, sweetness. We’ll keep you safe.”
“What if they hurt the other women?” Pepper asked. “Celeste, Tammy, and Kat are all pregnant.”
“Their mates will protect them, baby,” Cal stated calmly.
“I think it would be safer if I flew the plane back to Anchorage. We can notify the authorities to meet me there.”
“No fucking way,” Cal snarled as he cupped her face between her hands. “There is no way in hell you are deliberately putting yourself in the line of fire.”
Pepper moved out from between her mates. “But I wouldn’t be in the line of fire. Don’t you see, these bastards won’t expect for us to be aware of the drugs.”
“Yes, they will,” Fin said. “Doug has cops crawling all over the airport after the break-in. Those fuckers probably have people watching everything that goes on.”
“What if they have a tracker planted on the plane?” Cal asked.
“Shit! I didn’t even think of that.”
“It’s too risky to go off on your own, sweetness.”
“You could both come with me.”
“We can’t, baby.” Cal sighed as he threaded his fingers through his hair. “What if something happens and our sabears get free?”
“Cal’s right, mate.” Fin moved closer to her. “We’d have the military as well as every fucking scientist alive converging on our island.”
Pepper cringed at the thought. “Okay.”
“Okay?” Cal asked.
Pepper nodded. “Have you looked for a tracking device?”
“We have,” Fin answered. “We didn’t find anything, but it could be hidden in among all the wiring or even hidden in the engine. If that’s case, we might not be able to scent it because of all the fuel and oil smells.”
“So, we just sit and wait?”
“I’m afraid so, baby,” Cal answered.
“I hate waiting.”
Cal met Fin’s gaze and nodded toward the hangar entrance, before glancing at her. “We know of a great way to get you to relax.”
When she saw their heated gazes, she didn’t need to ask what they were talking about. The ever-present heat in her womb fired up to a towering inferno.
“We’ve been invited to Jenny’s for dinner. She called it breakfast. Does she get her meals mixed up?”
Fin and Cal burst out laughing. She stared in awe at her mates’ joy. She’d never seen them outright laugh before and hoped to see more of it. Even with danger lurking over them, they found time to laugh. Pepper had a feeling that they hadn’t laughed for a very long time. It made her heart swell to know she’d helped lighten their serious demeanors. At least she hoped it was because of her.
“Jenny calls the first meal a new stealth member shares with us all breakfast,” Cal explained.
“Ah, that makes sense.”
“Let’s go home,” Fin said.
“Do we have time?”
“We always have time for you, our mate.” Fin clasped one of her hands and Cal held the other.
Minutes later, they were leading her into the house, down the hallway toward the bedroom.
Pepper’s pussy clenched, forcing moisture to coat her folds. Her breathing and heart rate increased, and then Cal and Fin were quickly removing her clothes.
“God, you’re beautiful.” Cal eyed her naked body up and down.
“So are you both.”
Fin grinned. “Men aren’t beautiful.”
“You both are.” Pepper turned toward the bed, placed a knee on the mattress, and then crawled up to the middle. She turned and sat facing her mates. “You’re both way overdressed.”
“That’s easily remedied.” Cal winked and then tugged his shirt up over his head.
Fin began to strip, too.
Before long, both her men were standing at the end of the bed totally bare.
“Handsome and muscular. You guys are perfect.” Pepper rolled to her hands and knees and crawled back toward the edge of the bed. She sat with her legs hanging over the mattress and before her mates could move, reached out and wrapped her hands around their cocks.
Fin and Cal made growling, moaning sounds when she began to pump her hands up and down their shafts. She loved how smooth and baby soft the skin on their hard dicks felt against her flesh, but when she saw clear drops of pre-cum in the slits on the tips of their penises, her mouth watered.
Pepper leaned forward and swiped her tongue over the crown of Fin’s cock and smiled when he gasped. She leaned toward Cal and licked over his dick, too.
“Pepper! Fuck!” Cal groaned.
She swirled her tongue around Cal’s dick, taking note of every twitch and pulse, and
then she opened her mouth wide and sucked him in. Cal combed his fingers into the back of her hair as she bobbed up and down his shaft, stroking what she couldn’t fit into her mouth with her hand. When she saw his legs begin to tremble, she knew he was close and she moved back to Fin.
She twirled her tongue over his corona and then laved the underside where head and shaft met, loving the growly sounds coming from his mouth. He tasted so good she wanted more. Fin’s essence was spicy and sweet, and so damn yummy she wanted him spilling in her mouth. Cal’s juices were salty and sweet and just delectable as Fin’s.
“Pepper, let go,” Fin ordered just before he stepped back.
“Hey, I wasn’t finished yet.”
“You were about to finish me, sweetness.”
“Your mouth is amazing, baby.” Cal lifted her into his arms and hugged her tight. “But it’s our turn.”
Pepper shivered from the hunger in his voice and the heat in his eyes. She wanted her mates just as much, if not more than they wanted her.
Cal carried her to the bed and placed her onto her stomach. She frowned at him over her shoulder. “Get up onto your hands and knees, baby.”
Smack.
“Hey, what was that for?”
“Sorry, I couldn’t resist. You have such a sexy ass.” Cal smirked.
She glanced at Fin when she heard him open a drawer and shivered with need when she saw the bottle of lube in his hand.
“What are you…are you…” Pepper stuttered and trembled with nervous anticipation.
Cal got onto the bed and then somehow maneuvered his big body under hers. He caressed his hands up and down her sides before clasping her waist and lifting her up until she was straddling his hips.
“We need to prepare you so we can make love to you together, baby. Although the mating bond has been formed, it will only strengthen, click into place properly when we claim you together.”
“Oh.” Pepper quaked with desire. Her areolae ruched, and her nipples hardened into tight points. Her internal muscles flexed, and juices leaked out onto her thighs.
“She likes that idea,” Fin rasped from behind her. “She just creamed herself.”
Pepper hadn’t even noticed Fin getting up onto the bed behind her. She moaned when he caressed his hand down her back and gripped first one ass cheek and then the other.
