“It took all of my willpower not to mark your pretty neck, Scarlett.”
I leant back slightly and looked at Isaac with surprise.
“Me too.
I wanted to sink my teeth right here.”
I shivered when Lukas slid his tongue along the hollow of my neck. I was completely confused. The only time a male of my kind “marked” a female during sex was when they found their mate. That couldn’t be right, though, because that would mean Isaac and Lukas thought
I
was their mate.
“Don’t you feel it too? Feel the impossible connection that the three of us have? I know
Luk
and I can’t be the only ones that feel it.”
Isaac brought his body flush with mine, his shaft hard against my skin and so very hot. He kissed the top of my head, my nose, and then my lips, so gentle and caring it brought tears to my eyes. “I don’t understand.” I didn’t, and I just couldn’t believe it. “How is this really happening? I can’t be your mate,
both
of your mates.” Although it wasn’t unusual, the idea that it could actually happen to me blew my mind.
“And why not?”
Isaac looked hurt by my comment and Lukas didn’t say anything else as he continued to kiss and lick at my neck. “Because…I don’t know, I just thought you guys were already mated. You never showed any interest in me before.” Isaac cupped my cheek with his big hand and smiled at me.
“We both felt it from the moment we first saw you. You know it isn’t uncommon for our kind to find a mate who doesn’t feel the same. We thought that’s what had happened.”
It made sense. The
Luecross
wolves mated for life, just like the wolf. A mate was the one person that fate declared as ours. I had thought that’s what Lukas and Isaac had found with each other. It wasn’t uncommon for two
Luecross
pack members to mate the same person—hell, our pack leaders, Killian and Kale St. James had found that with Alice. I was just speechless that my two best friends, the two men I had loved for as long as I could remember, were saying I was their mate.
Isaac dropped his mouth to my neck where he gently ran his teeth along my flesh. Lukas lifted my hair out of the way and kissed the back of my neck as his hand moved down my back and stopped at the top of my ass. Surprisingly, I was ready to go again. My pussy was soaking wet and my clit tingled. Here I lay, two gorgeous men licking and laving at my sensitive throat and bringing me to a fever pitch.
I knew they could have continued if the hard cocks pressed against my ass and belly were anything to go by. They didn’t press any further, though. I can’t say I wasn’t a little disappointed that I wasn’t going to be filled by them again, but just being sandwiched between them was ecstasy in itself. I fell asleep that way, between Isaac and Lukas, the loves of my life.
Chapter Seven
I slowly opened my eyes and squinted as the warm morning sun illuminated the room. I was alone in the bed and the sheets next to me were cold. I could hear pots banging in the kitchen and the shower running in the bathroom. Smiling, I quietly got out of bed and pushed open the bathroom door. Steam escaped and I slipped inside, gently closing the door behind me as I stared at the huge silhouette in the shower. I was butt naked and already aroused as I thought about what was waiting for me on the other side of that shower door.
“It’s about time you woke up.”
Isaac’s voice was deep and filled with amusement. I should have known I wouldn’t be able to sneak up on him—we were, after all, predators with impeccable senses. I opened the shower door and let my eyes roam up and down his glorious body. The water cascaded down all of his hard and defined muscles, the tendons and sinews flexing beneath his golden flesh and making my nipples grow stiff and my clit throb in appreciation. He looked over his shoulder, his eyes caressing my body like invisible fingers.
“Come here, Scarlett.” He fully turned around, his shaft already hard and straining upwards.
I loved the way he said my name. His voice had gone deep and husky, his cock engorged for me. I stepped into the shower, the water gently spraying off his body and sliding over mine
“You are so beautiful.”
He held his arms open and I stepped into his embrace, loving how I didn’t even reach his shoulders. His body was huge and dwarfed mine, completely encasing me in a cocoon of warmth and protectiveness.
“From the moment I saw you all those years ago, I knew you were mine. Even when we were little, I felt this strong protectiveness for you. I know
Luk
felt the same way. We wanted to cherish and love you, be there for you.”
He whispered the endearments against my head and I closed my eyes and sighed. Isaac was powerful and strong, but he was the gentler of the two, more caring and soft-spoken then Lukas. I got the best of both worlds with them—sentimental and dominant.
“Did you feel that way for Lukas as well?”
“I did. I can’t even explain the emotions that went through me every time I looked at you two. When we got older, I started to feel
different
things for the two of you. I saw how other mates acted and knew I was going through the same thing. I knew you two were supposed to be mine. When you didn’t show much interest towards us in a sexual way, I thought fate was so cruel to give me you but not have you
recognise
me as your mate.”
“But then Lukas recognised you, didn’t he?”
“Yes, eventually. When
Luk
finally noticed me as his mate, he confided his feelings for you. I felt such relief that he knew you were his as well, that the three of us were destined to be together. We waited for you, watched you for signs that you recognised us as your mates.”
“It took me so long.” It had, too. I hadn’t always been sexually attracted to them. When my feelings for them had started to grow stronger and stronger, I’d thought there was something abnormal about me, but now hearing what Isaac said, I felt a huge weight lift off my shoulders. Maybe it was because all three of us had finally found each other?
“I love you, Scarlett.” He pulled away and looked down at me. “Lukas loves you so much too, although you know he would never confide in you as I just did. You know how reserved he is. He likes to keep a wall around his emotions as well as his heart. He has always been the rock when it comes to expressing himself, fully explaining what is going on inside of him.”
I knew that. Lukas might tell me how much he loved me, but he would never go into such detail. Lukas was
an alpha in his own
right—not the alpha of our pack, but an alpha nonetheless. “I love you too, Isaac.” I looked up at him and smiled. He kissed me gently at first, nothing rushed, just our lips meshed together as our hands explored our soaked flesh.
His erection pressed against my belly and I slipped my hand between our bodies to grip it. He was so thick my fingers couldn’t touch when I wrapped my hand around him. I loved it. He grunted and I moaned, loving how his hips started a slow thrust into my hand. His fingers skated down my back and over my ass where he gripped my cheeks and walked me backwards. I felt the cold, wet tile greet my back and I gasped from the sensory overload.
His hands tightened on my ass and I broke the kiss to suck in air as he easily lifted me up. I instinctively wrapped my legs around his lean waist and opened my mouth in a silent scream as his shaft slid smoothly inside me.
“Fuck. You’re so hot and tight.”
His muffled words were spoken against my neck and fuelled my desire higher. His hips started a slow pumping and I let my head fall against the tile as pleasure washed through me. I gripped his shoulders as my back slid up and down the slick tile with each thrust he made. I panted as the tell-tale signs of my climax fast approached. “I’m so close, Isaac.”
“I’m right there with you, let go for me. Let me feel your tight pussy milk my cock.”
That was all it took—his deep, possessive words—to send me over the edge. I moaned loudly as my orgasm peaked inside me, causing my nipples to become hard little points and my pussy to clamp down on his shaft. His teeth ran along the side of my neck, his tongue smoothing away the sting it caused and making me shiver. His teeth clamped gently down, teasing at first but then adding more and more pressure.
His body tensed and I felt his semen shoot out of him and coat my insides. It was at that exact moment that I felt his teeth pierce my flesh and my pussy clenched hard on his penis. Giving one last thrust, he sagged against me, still supporting my weight as he let go of my neck and gently licked at the wound he had caused.
“That was…unimaginable.”
I chuckled as he gently pulled out of me and steadied me once I was standing. He turned me around and I closed my eyes in bliss as the warm spray of the water rolled down my back. I felt our combined juices start to slip out of my pussy and I looked up at him. Isaac stared down at me with a serious expression and I raised my hand to smooth the worry from between his eyes. “What’s wrong?” I was sleepy and relaxed, my body still tingling in awareness of what we had just done.
“I should have been more careful. I was selfish, I’m sorry.”
“What are you talking about?” My mind was like mush. I could hear what he was saying but couldn’t really comprehend what the words actually meant.
“I should have worn a condom, and I should have asked you about this.” He ran his finger along the sensitive spot on my neck where he had bitten me.
“It’s okay, I liked it.” I watched him to gauge his reaction. “I’m not ovulating.” He looked surprised by my first comment but not the second.
“Not yet, but I can smell how close you are to it.”
If I wasn’t a
Luecross
I might have thought his comment was odd, but I didn’t even bat a lash. Our senses were highly advanced, and the males of my species were able to tell when a female was fertile—just like a wolf.
I could see why Isaac might be worried about that, but I knew when I was about to be fertile and that wasn’t right now.
Just the idea of having either one of their babies had happiness rolling through me. They were, after all, my best friends—the men I loved, and now my lovers.
I let my eyes drift shut and enjoyed the way the water massaged my scalp. I snapped my eyes open as I felt Isaac place his hand on my belly. I looked into his face, his brows knitted together and concentration etched all over his features. I placed my hand on his cheek and lightly lifted his face until he was staring at me. “Hey, why the long face? I told you not to worry. I’m not fertile yet.”
“It’s not that.”
I knitted my own eyebrows, my heart pounding a little quicker with the idea that he might actually feel the same way I did about having his baby.
“It pleases me to think about you carrying my young, and I love seeing my mark on your neck.”
My heart did a little jump at his comment and I smiled. We didn’t say anything else as Isaac washed me. His big hands were smooth as they glided the soap along my body, somehow making the simple act erotic and enticing. As I was about to step out of the shower, he grabbed me and pulled me into an embrace.
“I love you.”
“I love you too, Isaac.”
Chapter Eight
I didn’t have any clothes besides my Halloween costume, so Isaac gave me one of his T-shirts. I slid the shirt over my head, the material falling well past my knees and doing nothing for my figure. I looked over my shoulder and smiled as I watched Isaac slip on a pair of jeans—free
ballin
’ it—and a black tee. He must have sensed me staring at him because he turned around, winked at me and then walked over to kiss the top of my head.
“If you keep looking at me like that we’ll never leave this room.”
The idea didn’t sound so bad. I followed him out of the bedroom and into the kitchen. The air smelled heavenly and I knew Lukas had cooked us breakfast. We rounded the corner and sure enough, the table was filled with food. Lukas had on a pair of loose fitting jeans—unbuttoned—and nothing else. The table was set with everything you could think of eating for breakfast, as well as a single red rose on one of the plates. Isaac walked over to Lukas and wrapped his arms around his waist and kissed his shoulder.
“Morning.”
Lukas turned around and they kissed each other passionately. I could see their tongues moving against each other and I felt myself grow wet with desire once again. I clenched my thighs together and they both stopped and stared at me. My traitorous body didn’t care that I had been fucked senseless just moments before, or that I had been sandwiched between two men the previous night. It knew what it wanted, and what it wanted was Isaac and Lukas.
“Does that turn you on, baby?”
I swallowed. “You know it does,” I whispered, knowing it was no use lying to them. Isaac moved away and sat at the table and Lukas and I continued to stare at each other.
“Come here.”
Lukas was so
dominant,
it had my insides melting in submission. I slowly walked over to him and was immediately wrapped in his embrace. His mouth slanted over mine and his tongue slid inside my mouth. My nipples grew hard and they rubbed against his hard chest. He growled against my mouth and pulled back to look down at my chest. I did the same, slightly embarrassed that my nipples were so prominent against the white fabric. He ran his finger over one of my areolas and it puckered up beneath his touch.
