“Wow…that was beautiful. Next time, I get her ass,” Takoda announced as he climbed onto the bed, and Emma started laughing. She was looking forward to many more “next times.”
“Tired?” Mahkah’s voice rumbled, and Emma barely had the energy to nod. “Chayton is going to clean you off with a warm towel. Then we can all go to sleep cuddled together.”
“Mmmm…I like the way that sounds,” she yawned. When the towel touched her delicate skin, she wanted to jump but couldn’t find the strength to move.
Closing her eyes, she was mostly asleep when the bed shifted again and arms circled around her waist. She rolled and snuggled closer to Mahkah while Chayton moved in behind her, holding tight. Takoda rubbed her legs, and she was instantly aware that he was at the foot of the bed.
“I love you,” she said, not speaking to just one, but them all.
“We love you, too, ciqala.” Mahkah kissed her forehead, and Emma smiled as she fell asleep.
Chapter 19
Smiling broadly, Chayton opened his eyes and stretched, rubbing his naked skin against Emma’s. Pulling her back against his chest, he snuggled closer and tried to go back to sleep, but his hard, aching cock wouldn’t let him relax. A shuffling of clothing got his attention, and Chayton lifted his head to watch as Mahkah took off his jeans and climbed back in bed.
“Adam called. He wants you to head over to his office when you wake up to talk about the attack.” He whispered over Emma’s head, and Chayton exhaled loudly. The last thing he wanted to do was get out of the warm bed. “I’ll keep Emma warm until you get back.” His brother laughed, and Chayton shook his head. He had no doubt both his brothers would help keep Emma busy while he was gone.
“I’m sure you will.” Kissing Emma on the shoulder, Chayton reluctantly left her warmth. He stared down at her and couldn’t help but smile at her swollen lips and wild hair. Last night had been the most amazing night of his life. Everything was finally falling into place, and the future was looking better by the day.
Leaning down once more, Chayton kissed Emma’s cheek, brushing her hair away from her face. She managed to continue sleeping. Taking one last look at her angelic face, he went to the bathroom and began to ready himself to meet with the Alpha. He knew this day was coming, and he needed to talk to Adam and Brandon. The attack shouldn’t have happened. The other shifter should’ve been able to smell his scent all over Emma. Mates were sacred, regardless of the animal species, so of course it couldn’t be swept under the rug and forgotten.
Chayton showered quickly. The last thing he wanted was to be out of the house and away from Emma, especially since they had all finally marked her. Mahkah and Takoda had both been patiently waiting for their time with her, and now they were feeling content and happy. It was nice to finally feel the positive feelings surrounding them, versus the sadness and depression that had been hanging around their heads.
He shut off the shower and grabbed a towel to dry off, but stopped suddenly when he heard a gasp followed quickly by a moan. Peeking through the bathroom door, Chayton continued to dry off as he watched Mahkah lick and suck on Emma’s beautiful little pussy. Leaning against the doorframe, he watched her face transform from sleepiness to instant alertness. His cock hardened as he listened to the deep moans, the gasps, followed by Emma’s beautiful voice pleading for more. He loved when she begged for his cock and couldn’t wait until he could be buried inside her tight pussy once more.
“Mahkah, please fuck me. I want your cock,” she cried out and tried to move, but his brother wouldn’t give her the upper hand. He held her down, gripping her splayed thighs in his hands to keep her in place.
Chayton stood there, mesmerized, his own cock rigid. He wanted to join them, to stay in bed all day, but an order from their Alpha was important. They needed to get answers from the wolf pack and find out why Emma had been attacked and he had been shot. Feeling torn and unsure, Chayton strode to the bed. The sound of her wet pussy was too much to bear. Without another thought, Chayton climbed back onto the bed and pulled one of Emma’s exposed nipples into his mouth. The Alpha would have to wait, at least for another half hour.
* * * *
Sensory overload was finally a term that Emma understood completely. After her wild night in the woods with Mahkah, Takoda on the table in the dining room, and all three of her men taking her throughout the night, she wasn’t sure how many more orgasms she could take. Her muscles ached in the most delicious places, her clit was sensitive, and her nipples felt permanently hard. This was definitely something she could get used to.
Waking up with Mahkah’s gorgeous body on top of hers was the most amazing feeling. He pushed his hard cock inside of her slowly before taking possession of her mouth. She gasped and moaned at the intrusion, wishing he would take her hard. When she tried to meet his slow thrusts with faster ones, he stopped. When she tried to take over, he stopped, proving that he was the one in charge. Instead of fulfilling her need, Mahkah changed course, pulled his hard cock out of her. Instead of giving her what she craved, he widened her legs, taking her clit into his mouth and sucking.
No amount of begging or pleading seemed to change his mind. She wanted his cock inside of her, but Mahkah seemed determined to take her and pleasure her the way he wanted to. “Damn it, Mahkah, I need more,” she yelled, and she tried to take over once more, but Mahkah stayed in control. Laughing, Mahkah licked at her lower lips, biting, kissing, and sucking. He was in no hurry to give her what she wanted.
Chayton joined them then, pulling a nipple into his mouth and sucking. These men seemed intent on driving her crazy. Lying still, she submitted to Mahkah and closed her eyes, enjoying his mouth on her pussy.
“She tastes good, doesn’t she, Mahkah?” Chayton asked, and Emma’s eyes sprang open.
She looked around and spotted Takoda. He was sitting in a chair next to the bed, watching. He winked and grinned, obviously enjoying the show.
“Mmmm…yummy.” Mahkah licked his lips, winked, and grabbed the base of his cock, pointing his erection at her pussy.
Emma held her breath. She couldn’t take her eyes off him. She froze in place, not moving an inch or saying a word. As if to prove his point, that he was in fact in charge, Mahkah moved slow. He put the head of his cock against her opening and stared at her, daring her without words to take over. Biting her lower lip, she held perfectly still, and Mahkah grinned before pushing his cock slowly into her. He didn’t stop until he was buried deep, and she moaned, closing her eyes. He was finally exactly where she wanted him to be, inside of her.
Mahkah went slow, and Emma savored every minute, the feeling of soft velvet covering hard stone made her pussy clench and hold tight. He worked her, and she had a hard time staying still. Chayton lay next to her and watched them, his eyes burning into her. Emma reached out and touched his hard body. She felt his muscles clench.
He moved then, raising above her head on his knees, his hard cock in her face. Grinning, she reached out and wrapped her hands around his shaft, bringing it to her mouth. She worshipped his cock, tonguing the head, before sucking it into the hot recesses of her mouth. Before she could set a pace, Chayton wrapped her hair around his fist and bobbed her head up and down his length.
Mahkah and Chayton moved at the same pace, taking control and showing her that they were in charge of her pleasure. She felt her climax building, growing in intensity. The more demanding they were, the more it turned her on and threw her closer to the edge.
“Oh, God. You’re so sexy with my cock in your mouth. Suck harder, ciqala,” Chayton demanded as he pumped his hips harder, shoving his length deep into her mouth, touching her throat.
Gripping her hips tighter, Mahkah changed his rhythm, moving faster and fucking her harder. Frantically, she reached out and grabbed onto the sheets to steady her body from the hard blows. Tasting Chayton’s pre-cum splash onto her tongue, she moaned deep in her throat. She loved the way he tasted. He was sweet and salty, the perfect treat. Suddenly, her pu
ssy clamped down, and her orgasm slammed into her like a wave.
Throwing her head back, she yelled out, “Mahkah! Chayton!” Hot cum splashed across her breasts, marking her, as Chayton gripped her hair tighter. Mahkah bellowed her name to the sky as he came inside of her. Panting, the three of them didn’t move, completely spent.
“I swear I’m addicted.” Mahkah laughed lightly as he pulled his cock out of her.
“What a way to wake up.” Emma stretched, finally moving. She was now officially awake.
“Damn…that was sexy. What a show.” Takoda laughed.
Looking to the side of the bed, she watched him go into the bathroom and heard the bathwater start.
* * * *
Mahkah was addicted to his mate. He couldn’t seem to keep his hands to himself. Even knowing that the three of them had taken her numerous times the night before, he couldn’t stop himself from having her once more before she woke up. He stared at her delectable little body as she stretched, and his cock jumped to attention. Pushing it down, he tried to ignore it, wanting to take care of Emma.
Slipping off the bed, he leaned down and picked Emma up, taking her into the bathroom. Having a nice, hot bath should help work out any sore muscles she might have and it would give him a chance to pamper her.
“Chayton, you better head to the Alpha’s house. He’s waiting for you. Emma and I will be here when you get back.” The last thing Mahkah wanted was for the Alpha Adam, his brother, or anyone else busting in and ruining their quiet time with their mate.
“I was thinking about heading out, but Takoda should come with me. He has more to report than I do,” Chayton said, and Takoda groaned in disappointment. Both his brothers needed to report what happened the day they brought Emma home. She had been attacked and Chayton shot. The clan needed to get all the facts so that they could talk to the Alpha of the wolf pack. They didn’t want a war, but a mate being attacked was unheard of and needed to be dealt with immediately.
Mahkah sat Emma in the tub, and she moaned and sank deep under the bubbles. Mahkah didn’t waste a minute. He climbed in and sat across from her, pulling her small feet in his lap. Both Chayton and Takoda took a few minutes to lean down and kiss Emma good-bye before they left the bathroom. The Alpha could only be kept waiting for so long, and they all knew that.
When they were finally alone, Mahkah started to massage her dainty feet and legs. He was tired. After their amazing night, he’d stayed awake studying her facial features, trying to convince himself that she was real and they had really claimed her. He was afraid to fall asleep, worried that she might disappear or that he’d find out their time together was only a dream.
“That feels so good. I wouldn’t mind if you did that for the rest of my life,” she whispered, leaning her head back and closing her eyes.
“I would be happy to do it for the rest of our lives,” he said sincerely, feeling confident that she would be moving in and becoming a part of their family and clan.
“Really? Hmmm…I might take you up on that.” She laughed quietly, wiggling her toes, and Mahkah grinned. He couldn’t wait to spend the rest of his life taking care of her.
The warm water worked its magic on his body, and Mahkah found himself dozing off. He tried hard to stay awake, forcing his eyes open, but he was losing that battle. Yawning, he closed his eyes and sank deeper into the water.
“Come on…let’s get back in bed.” The water sloshed, and he dragged his eyes open in time to see Emma’s naked ass in front of his face as she climbed out of the tub. He watched her closely, not able to take his eyes off her as she grabbed a few towels and started to dry off. That was all the encouragement he needed to climb out. Taking the towel from her, he knelt down and dried her off.
When his job was done, Mahkah dried himself off. Grabbing her hand, he interlaced their fingers and went back into the bedroom. They both climbed in bed and crawled under the covers. Emma moved closer to him, snuggling against him and Mahkah was finally able to exhale and close his eyes. This was real…his mate was in his arms, in their bed. Mahkah fell asleep with a content smile on his face.
* * * *
Emma lay across Mahkah and listened to his breathing change. She closed her eyes and tried to fall back to sleep. She lost the battle. Her mind was with Chayton and Takoda. She hated that they both had to leave, but she understood they needed to report what happened. Chayton had been shot, could’ve died, and she hoped whomever was responsible would get what they deserved. Would the person who pulled the trigger be punished? Had the attack or the shooting been reported? So many unanswered questions.
Emma quietly snuck out of bed and tiptoed across the room. Her mind was in chaos. She couldn’t seem to think coherently. She grabbed some clothes, not really caring how she looked. She wanted to be downstairs when both Chayton and Takoda got home. Closing the door behind her, Emma got dressed in the hallway before making her way to the kitchen. The house was quiet as she pilfered through the fridge, searching for a snack. She moved through the kitchen to the table, with her hands full of everything needed to make a sandwich, Emma sat down.
Movement from outside the window caught her attention, and Emma got up from the table and ran outside, hoping that both Chayton and Takoda had made it home safely. The cold air stung her face, but Emma didn’t mind. Shivering, she stepped off the stairs and looked around. What had caught her attention? Were her men home? Looking around, she realized that one truck was missing.
Emma shook her head and turned to run back inside when she was grabbed from behind. Screaming, she jumped and tried to pull away when something sharp stabbed into her arm. Panic seized her, and her vision began to blur. She had no idea what was happening to her. Emma fought, trying desperately to make it back inside. She needed to get to Mahkah. Were they under attack? Was there someone now inside hurting Mahkah? She managed to spin around and come face to face with the cold, dead eyes of a stranger.
“An eye for an eye,” he whispered. Emma shook her head, not understanding what he wanted with her. Who was this man? Why was he doing this to her?
Black spots filled her vision, and Emma could feel herself weakening. Realization began to set in, and she felt herself slowly losing consciousness. He was going to take her. She tried to scream, but a strained moan was all she could manage. Slumping over, she ended up leaning into her captor, and he easily swung her over his shoulder. Her body now fully numb, she stared at the ground until she could no longer keep her eyes open.
Chapter 20
Mahkah woke up to the sound of footsteps hitting the stairs and smiled. His brothers had probably rushed through their meeting with the Alpha, so they could jump back in bed with their mate. Reaching out, he moved his hands around, hoping to find a very naked Emma close by. All he felt was cold sheets. He sat up and looked around. There weren’t any noises coming from the bathroom. Shoving the covers off his body, he went to the dresser and grabbed a pair of jeans and a T-shirt.
Just then, Chayton and Takoda rushed into the room. They were both breathing heavily, their faces white.
“What?” Mahkah felt his stomach drop.
“Wolf…the scent is outside. Where’s Emma?” Chayton looked around frantically, and Mahkah felt his body shake.
“We fell asleep after the bath. Is she downstairs?”
“No…her scent…it was in the yard, too.” Takoda looked ready to burst out of his own skin, and Mahkah knew he needed to stay calm and focused.
“This doesn’t make any sense. What’s going on?” Mahkah rushed from the room and took the stairs two at a time. His brothers were close behind him. “Why would a wolf be here? Why would he take Emma, knowing that she was a mate? Shifters know the rules. Mates are sacred.”
“Adam’s been in contact with the wolf’s Alpha, Gabe Wolff, in Minnesota. They had Adam’s consent before the trip to travel here. It was a female wolf that attacked Emma. She was in heat.” Mahkah swallowed hard. The female wolf attacked because Emma was another female in her t
erritory during mating season. It was common knowledge female wolves didn’t tolerate another woman in their territory during mating times. “Chayton killed her to protect Emma, and her mate disappeared soon after the attack. Two sentries were sent to find him and take him back to their pack in Minnesota. They’re probably here, somewhere, searching for him,” Takoda finished.
“Fuck…she was mated?” Mahkah swung the front door open and began stripping. In bear form, the three of them could use their heightened senses and hopefully find Emma before…he stopped the thought. He wouldn’t allow himself to think that way. He needed to stay focused.
“Yeah.” Chayton immediately followed his lead, looking a bit ill. He had killed a wolf’s mate for attacking Emma and in the process may have cost their mate her life.
Mahkah was aware of what the wolf had in mind, revenge. He would be thinking the same thing if someone had killed his mate. Nothing would stop him from seeking revenge. Chayton wouldn’t be able to live with himself if something happened to Emma. He would blame himself. She was their world, their everything. His fear was tangible. A living thing. He had to pull himself together. Not only for his mate, but for his brothers.
Before he completed the change, he looked at Takoda, stopping his brother from joining them. “Call the clan. We need everyone to hunt for Emma.” Looking reluctant, Takoda went back into the house while Mahkah and Chayton shifted fully.
Mahkah stopped and sniffed the air. He located the scent of the wolf and Emma in the front yard. Both were fresh. He followed the trail easily by moving through the trees. Chayton was close behind, trailing also. He wanted to run, to move faster, but with the heightened senses of shifters, he needed to have some element of surprise. Changing directions, he tried to stay downwind, hoping the wolf with Emma wouldn’t realize he was being followed.
