HerMatesEmbrace (20 page)

What happened to maybe we were going too easy on her?
Linc’s hand cupped the back of her head as he pulled her up for a kiss.

Different situation. If we panic her here, she’ll back
away. It’ll take even longer to help her relax and accept us.
Colm
sidestepped and then approached from the side so that she’d have plenty of room
to move if she needed. She needed to relax and accept them. He didn’t know why
it was suddenly so important, but it had become one of his top priorities

Well, I wasn’t thinking about pushing too much. Not even
fucking her. But you may be right about pressing her between us being too much.
I can’t wait until we can hold her that way.
Linc brushed kisses over her
cheeks and down her neck.

Cami wasn’t making it easy for his bond brother to maintain
a conversation, Colm realized. She’d unfastened the buttons on his shirt and
had pushed it wide. He saw her nails scrape over both of Linc’s nipples before
sweeping around and flicking at the tips.

“I think giving her entirely free rein might be a mistake.”
Linc gritted through clenched teeth.

“We haven’t really touched her yet though.” Colm smiled as
Cami glanced over at him. He could see the sultry heat in her eyes. He wanted
to watch that gaze turn molten with desire. She didn’t seem to be nervous or
uncomfortable. She looked as if she was enjoying what she was doing.

“Why don’t you see how she likes your touch?” Linc grinned
over him.

Colm knew the only reason he said it out loud was so that
Cami would know that he was going to touch her. She turned her head a little
and watched him, but she didn’t let up on running her hands over Linc’s chest
and stomach. Each time her hand seemed to go lower. Linc’s hips rocked forward
as if trying to urge her hands down to where he needed them. She seemed
determined to tease.

That was probably a good thing for the moment. They needed
to touch her and let her be at ease with both of them before she managed to
strip away the last of his control. Colm wasn’t sure how she’d react. She’d
only become accustomed to being with the two of them if they moved slowly and
showed her the pleasure they could give her.

Colm let his hand lightly rest against her back to see how
she reacted to having them both touch her. She didn’t even tense. His hand
swept up her back and down again. He wasn’t going to take the time to work out
why she seemed so at ease with him. Now that he had his hands on her, he wanted
to feel the heat of her skin and hear how much she enjoyed his touch.

He stepped a little farther to the side so that he’d have
more access to her shirt. He wanted to push it aside at the least, but he
planned to try to get it totally out of the way. He brushed his fingers across
her face. Her eyes widened a little, but she turned her head into his touch. A
soft moan fell from her lips. He was good, but he knew a simple touch on the
cheek couldn’t inspire that response. Glancing down, he saw Linc’s fingers
tugging at her nipples through the fabric of her shirt. He smiled.

“Want to see those gorgeous mounds, Linc?” Colm asked on a
growl, but didn’t wait for his bond brother to answer him. His fingers went to
the top fastenings of her shirt.

“Oh, yeah, I think it’s only fair. She has my shirt open.
Those little nails are killers.” Linc grinned and gave another tweak of her
nipples.

She shivered, but apparently she decided on a little
payback. The fingers of one hand found Linc’s nipple and plucked as the other
dived down to cup the ridge of his cock. Linc groaned. His hips rocked forward
in a silent demand. Colm was more than a little envious. He wanted her hands on
him, but he also wanted to make her crazy and see the passion take away any
thought of teasing. He intended to wrap her up in the feeling. The only
thoughts in her head should be of the next moment and the feel of their hands
and mouths on her.

When he pushed her shirt wide, he stared for a moment at the
firm mounds. They were gorgeous. The dark tips were already tight and stiff.
His mouth watered at the thought of sucking on them.

“Beautiful.” Linc’s voice rumbled with a growl.

Colm looked over and saw Linc’s eyes locked onto those lush
curves. Colm could easily imagine the thoughts running through his bond
brother’s head. He could spend hours enjoying those luscious mounds. Sucking
and licking were just the beginning. He wanted to press them together and slide
his cock between them as Linc drove deep into her pussy. The ache in his cock
brought his attention back to reality. He had to focus on the present, because
he knew they couldn’t go that far this time. Getting her at ease with the two
of them was too important.

He looked to Linc and his bond brother nodded and stepped a
little closer to the chair. Linc sent him a focused image of Cami sprawled
across his lap as Colm knelt beside her. The idea sizzled through him, but he
didn’t know if they’d be able to get her to go along with it. She might feel
too trapped by the position. Still, he thought it would be better to ask than
to simply do it when she became too wrapped up in her passion. If she panicked
and bolted then, it would set them back even more than if the idea stopped her
now.

Colm cupped the side of her cheek. “Do you think you could
sit across Linc’s lap while we touch you without feeling trapped?”

She looked at Linc and then bit her lip. Colm was almost
kicking himself for breaking the mood while she silently debated the request.
Her eyes were big and he could see the desire slowly fading. Her hand smoothed
over Linc’s chest and then she reached out to touch Colm’s jaw. Colm closed his
eyes at the featherlight touch.

“I’ll try.” The two words came out slowly and in a voice so
quiet that he wondered if he’d imagined them.

When she looked at him expectantly, he finally realized that
it wasn’t wishful thinking. Linc eased back into the chair and held out his
arms. She eased onto his lap and her gaze was locked on Linc’s face as if
looking for something there. He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her
tight for a moment before loosening his hold and resting one hand behind her
back, to brace her and letting the other drape over her skirt-covered leg.

Kiss her. I don’t want her to get too nervous about
what’s going to happen.
Linc let his hand slowly trail down to the bottom
of the dark-blue skirt.

Colm knelt beside the chair. He gently cupped her chin and
turned her face to his. He kept his touch light for a few moments giving her
time to react to the touch. Her lips opened under his immediately and her
tongue thrust against his lips in demand. He met the eager response without
questioning her motives. He kissed her hard, letting her feel the
possessiveness and urgency pumping through his veins.

Her fingers clenched in his hair, tugging him closer. She
moaned under his lips and the sound shot through him. He let his fingers move
up to her breast and cupped the full mound. Her back arched, pressing the lush
flesh into his palm. He didn’t need any more encouragement. He swept his thumb
over the stiff peak.

“Can I have a kiss now?” Linc’s voice jolted Colm.

He’d almost forgotten his bond brother was there. Colm
lifted his head reluctantly and let her turn her head to Linc. He focused on
the delicious curves of her breasts. He watched as his thumb flicked across her
nipple. Her skin wasn’t quite as dark as his and he liked the contrast. Her
darkened nipple tightened. He wanted to put his mouth over that crest. His
mouth watered.

Lowering his head, he took the taut bud between his lips.
His hand smoothed over her stomach. The muscles beneath his hand quivered and
jerked as she lifted into his touch. He loved that responsiveness and looked
forward to a time when she wasn’t held back by fear. He knew there would
probably always be a moment or two when she was taken by surprise. There were
moments for him and he hadn’t gone through anything similar to what she had.

Not wanting her to get too accustomed to one touch, he let
his hand fall away from her breast and smoothed it over her belly. He felt her
breath hitch. Scraping his teeth over her flesh, he drew his mouth up until the
tip of her nipple barely touched his lips. He blew warm air across it and
watched it tighten again. She shivered and then moaned long and low.

Colm lifted his head. He knew he hadn’t gotten her that
revved up so quickly. Her teeth nibbled on her lip and her head arched back
over Linc’s arm as she moaned again. He swept his eyes down her body and found
that Linc had pushed her skirt up to her waist and slipped his hand between her
thighs. Because of the cloth, Colm couldn’t see exactly what his bond brother
was doing, but knew he was probably flicking at her clit or working his fingers
into her tight pussy.

Her legs widened a little in blatant invitation. He wanted
to watch and savor the sight of Linc making her crazy with desire, but he also
wanted to push her hunger higher himself. Her fingers smoothed over his arm and
swept up to his shoulder. The sound of her panting breaths and the feel of her
hand as she clenched his shirt in her fist thrilled him. She was touching and
responding to both of them. It almost didn’t seem real.

He lowered his head and licked around the bud before lapping
at that nipple. He played with it. His tongue licked around the sensitive tip
before grazing it with his teeth. He savored the heat and softeness of her
skin. His hand swept in teasing forays back to the other taut globe and then
retreated just as she pressed up into his touch. Her taste was intoxicating. He
knew that stepping back from her when she came was going to cost him. His cock
already throbbed with the need to drive into her. He wanted to feel those inner
muscles squeezing his cock again.

“Don’t you love those sounds?” Linc asked.

Colm looked up and didn’t try to hide his smile when another
of those low, sexy moans rolled from her throat. The sound reminded him of a
purr. He promised himself he’d hear that sound one day. They’d satisfy her so
much that she wouldn’t be able to stop that contented rumble as she snuggled in
their arms.

“Oh, yeah, but I want to hear her come.” He leaned over and
took her lips in a swift, hungry kiss that only spiked his own need.

She whimpered when he pulled away and returned his lips to
her breast. He drew the nipple into his mouth and sucked. His other hand
squeezed the neglected breast. He flicked the hardened nipple with his thumb as
his tongue swiped at her other taut peak. He’d liked to have given that one
equal time with his lips, but knew the risk was too great. It would mean
leaning over her. He didn’t want to make her feel trapped now.

Her back arched, pressing the peak deeper into his mouth. He
scraped his teeth over it and plucked at the other nipple simultaneously. He
felt her muscles tense as her climax rippled through her body. She tensed and a
broken cry flowed from her lips. Shivers racked her body. He kept licking and
sucking even as the pleasure washed over her, wanting to extend the bliss for
as long as he could. His hands stroked over her belly in a slow, soothing
motion.

When her breathing finally slowed and her heartbeat calmed,
he lifted his lips and looked up at her. She blinked. Her gold eyes still held
the slumberous heaviness of desire. Gods, she was beautiful.

He wanted to stroke his hand over her face. That would have
to wait until she was a little more relaxed around them. He didn’t want to
press her too much after the progress they’d made. She’d been very conscious of
that scar on her cheek, he didn’t want to make her think about it now when she
was so relaxed.

Linc helped her to sit and she swung her legs off the arm of
the chair. Colm moved a little to the side so that she had a way out of their
embrace if she wanted. Now that her desire had faded, her fear might return.
Linc’s hand ran over her shoulder and he pulled her against him in a quick hug.

Colm wished she could be at ease with them all the time. The
cautious distance she put between them at most times frustrated him. He wanted
his mate at his side. Part of him wanted to drag her into their bed every
night, but she had to realize that it was where she belonged. She had to claim
them as much as they claimed her.

She looked up at him and a blush flared over her cheeks. He
liked the rush of color and the shy smile she gave him. Rising to his full
height, he backed away to give her room. She stood and smoothed her skirt down.
Her eyes skittered away from his and she fidgeted a little. The nervousness was
cute, but he didn’t want her embarrassed with them. He planned to have her
flushed and aroused as often as possible.

“Now, are you ready to learn what to do with that focused
energy you had earlier?” Colm asked with a smile. He was trying to keep her
relaxed and at ease with them. He suspected that if he waited for her to say
something, she’d try to put some distance between them.

She looked a little surprised and her eyes drifted down his
body. He knew she was looking at the ridge of his cock. That look caused the
throbbing ache to build. The temptation to stroke his palm over the bulge as
she watched pushed at him. He knew doing that would cause more pain, but he
wanted her to be comfortable with them as well as know the effect she had on
them.

“Are you sure you wouldn’t rather wait?” Her eyes rose to
meet his before skittering away as her cheeks darkened again.

“This is normal. Do you think we can pleasure you without
becoming aroused ourselves? Impossible. I simply look at you and I want to take
your clothes off and feast.” Colm shook his head. Even before he’d thought of
her as his mate, he’d wanted her fiercely, but the intensity of the feelings
had kept him from pursuing it. She was right. He hadn’t wanted to chance a true
mating with a female. Somehow, he must have realized that the strength of his
attraction to her was beyond normal lust.
