Winter Awakening Page 5

  He stepped forward and, using the toe of his shoe, shoved her jeans from her knees to her ankles. “I’m right here.” He pressed a kiss to her lips, before her head fell forward. Sliding his hands under her shirt, he cupped her breasts. The full, firm mounds spilled over his palms. “No regrets.”

  “Never.”

  He tilted her forward slightly. A peek of her creamy, pink folds undid him. He needed in. “Mine.” Positioning himself at her entrance, he thrust halfway before stopping. Intense pleasure shot through him and settled in his sac. He couldn’t describe the sensation of being inside her. Didn’t think he ever could. “Say it, and I’ll give you the rest.”

  A tear fell from the corner of her eye, and he paused. He scented the air for distress but found none.

  “Yours.” Her bottom lip trembled as she uttered the word.

  Had he done something wrong?

  “Sarah?” He flexed his hips, burying himself the rest of the way and held still.

  “I’m sorry. I thought…. I didn’t know.” She sniffed. “Please don’t stop.”

  He laid his head against her shoulder blade, holding her close as he retreated and filled her over and over. The pure emotions running from her grabbed him by the balls. She was his. The powerful knowledge of it drove him to madness. The only way to calm his beast was to take his mate.

  Her soft sounds of passion added to the heady sensations rolling over him. The sensual way their bodies moved together added to the whole experience. Sure, they were fucking in his storage closet, but in his mind, they were in his bed watching the sun come up over the horizon while he brought them to completion.

  The need to mark her overwhelmed him as the small ripples of her pussy turned to hard tugs. Next time, it wouldn’t be a quick romp in the closet. Next time, he’d spend all night with her. When Luc didn’t have her under him, Ero would have her.

  “Give over to it, sweetheart. I’ll catch you.” Lowering his hand, he slid his finger over her clit. Her gasp and the strong squeeze she gave his dick had him seeing stars. “Do it again.”

  “Oh God.” She milked his cock with the beginnings of her climax as he continued to work the bundle of nerves between her thighs. “Ero…please.”

  “Give it to me.” He mouthed the spot where he left the tiny mark the night before. “Come for me, and I’ll mark you as mine.”

  She shattered in his arms. The strong rhythmic pulls of her release left him gasping for air. His seed bubbled up inside him, and when he bit down on the sweet flesh of her neck, he exploded inside her, giving her every bit of himself.

  His orgasm left him high as a kite. The natural endorphins mixed with the absolute resolution she belonged to him, and his wolf sought solace within that understanding. He clung to her, holding her upright when her knees went weak. “I’ve got you.”

  “I never thought I’d ever experience anything so beautiful again. I thought I knew everything there was to understanding mates. I’ve been a deluded fool.” Her tears splashed on his arm as she let go of whatever she’d been clinging to. He moved them to the single chair he kept in the room.

  “Let it all out, sweetheart. Let it all go so you can begin your life again.” He caressed every inch of her, allowing her to deal with whatever demons festered within her soul. When she finished, he turned her blotchy, tear-streaked face to him and kissed her, gently giving her the reassurance she needed at the moment. She’d had great happiness and then a great loss. He hoped to make sure she never felt such pain again.

  “Thank you.” She stood on shaky legs and got dressed. “For everything.”

  He grinned. “My pleasure, mate. I plan to do it over and over again. Trust me.”

  She laughed. The full-bodied melodic sound warmed his soul. “I hope so.” She touched her mark. “I guess we should get ready for lunch now?”

  “Yeah. Don’t need to get caught back here.” He helped her straighten her clothing then did the same for himself. “After work, we’ll talk about our new life.”

  She gave a hesitant smile. “I agree. There’s so much.” She turned the doorknob and opened it. “Oh!” She took a step back, and Luc advanced.

  “Started without me?” He glanced at Ero. “You always were an impatient asshole.”

  “Couldn’t wait any longer.”

  Luc placed his finger under her chin, and turned her face, giving him a good look at his claiming. “You marked her?”

  “Uh, hello? I’m right here. You can ask me.”

  Luc narrowed his eyes. “I am fully aware of where you are.” He crowded her to the counter. “I can smell you. I heard you finding your pleasure in my brother’s arms. My dick is hard enough to pound fucking nails.” He lifted her with ease and placed her on the wooden countertop. “Tell me you don’t want me, too, and I’ll figure out a way to walk away.”

  Her gaze flicked to Ero then back to his brother. “I can’t. I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t want you, too.”

  “Thank fuck.”

  Sarah stared up at Luc. Minutes before, she’d been in Ero’s arms, had his cock deep inside her. Instead of being repulsed by the idea of having this man near her, she craved him. She fisted his shirt and yanked it from his pants. Each button she undid exposed another inch of his glorious skin to her perusal.

  “I shouldn’t want this.” She shook her head but continued her task. “I don’t understand how someone can have two mates. Well…I do, it’s just—”

  Luc kissed her into silence. His mouth moved over hers as though he made love to her there—mimicking the way she imagined he’d thrust his dick in and out of her. She moaned, the banked arousal from her time with Ero roaring back to life. Luc pulled her blouse off, and both men groaned. In seconds, he had her naked from the waist up while she fumbled with the remaining buttons of his shirt.

  “We’ll figure it out along the way.” He placed his hand on the middle of her back then eased her backward ever so slightly, thrusting her breasts up toward his face. “Tell me, did my brother kiss you here?” He ran the pad of his thumb over the taut peak.

  She shook her head, afraid of what she might say.

  “No?” A sexually devious smirk tugged the corners of his mouth. “You missed out, brother.” He sighed. “Next time.”

  “You’ll have to tell me how she tastes.” Ero sat in the chair. “Stamina, sweetheart.” He rubbed the growing bulge at the front of his jeans. “I can go for days.”

  Luc laughed. “He’s the crude one, babe.”

  “And what are you?” she breathed.

  “You’re about to find out.” Lowering his head, he swirled his tongue around her nipple before drawing it into his mouth. Each pull shot straight to her clit.

  She grasped the front of his pants, bringing him closer to her. Fumbling momentarily, she undid his belt then opened his jeans. He dragged his tongue from one of her breasts to the other, and she arched toward him. He took it readily, lashing the sensitive tip while she pushed her hands inside the waist of his pants, and cupped his ass. He groaned against her skin, causing tiny vibrations to spread outward. The sensation sent tingles through her.

  “Luc,” she gasped, writhing against him.

  “Take my cock into your hand.”

  She did as he asked, and the second her palm wrapped around his thick erection, a rush of juices spilled from her pussy. She swallowed hard. “I see you’re twins in all senses of the word.” Corny much?

  His rough chuckle shimmied down her spine. “All things, babe. Don’t forget it.” He licked the side of her neck. “Get off the counter and finish taking your clothes off. I want to see your pussy.”

  The way he spoke, so crass. So in charge. It did things to her. It made her wet and achy. Where Ero had been desperate for her, Luc relished her. Let his command burn through her until she was sure she’d combust. He helped her down, and only when she was steady did he let go of her.

  She glanced at Ero. He continued touching hims
elf. Though each was breathtaking and demanding on their own, together they were a force to be reckoned with. She could only hang on for dear life and hope they caught her when she fell.

  Desire built inside her, searing her blood. Her nipples hardened to the point of pain. She tensed with expectation. “You’re both determined to kill me, aren’t you?”

  “With pleasure?”

  “Among other things.” She shimmied out of her clothes, kicking off her shoes to remove her jeans.

  “Shit, bro. She’s perfect.” Luc licked his lips. His gaze blazed with desire as he stalked toward her. Her breath hitched. With each step he took, the thick scent of spice surrounded them. Raw dominance flowed from him, and she didn’t know if the cool air of the storage room or the way he stared at her as though he would devour her had her nipples tightening even more. “How did he take you, babe? From behind, bent over? Did he touch your clit, make you cream?”

  Heat suffused her cheeks. “You’re free with your words.”

  “I didn’t realize I wasn’t supposed to be.”

  “She’s as timid as a sheep,” Ero murmured.

  “Good thing we’re the big bad wolves about to ravage her.” The predatory gleam in his eyes should have scared the shit out of her, but, instead, she grew more turned-on. He picked her up then laid her out on the counter.

  He spread her thighs and embarrassment filled her—she and Ero had mated just moments before. She tried to close her legs, only to have him open her up again.

  “If you think a little cum bothers me, you’ve got a long way to go on that.” He stroked her inner thighs, teasing her. “But am I jealous? A little. I’d hoped to be the first one to feel the grip of your pussy when I filled you balls deep.”

  “She’s perfect. Hot, tight, and made for us,” Ero growled.

  If Luc didn’t do something soon, she was going to take matters into her own hands. They both had a way with words, but Luc built up the anticipation with his. She craved him.

  He fit his hips between her knees and bent over her. “I bet.” He pressed kisses from her belly to her hip. “Ready, babe?”

  A whimper passed her lips. “Please.”

  “Ero loves it when you beg.”

  “I do,” he replied.

  “You know what I like?” Luc teased her clit with the tip of his cock, drawing out their coupling.

  “What?”

  He slammed into her and growled. Sarah cried out. The exquisite burn of him stretching her pussy open sent shards of bliss crashing through her. Her eyes fluttered shut as she arched toward him.

  “I love hearing the sounds you make. I get off on it.” He dragged his dick along her sensitive walls, and she thought she’d died and gone to heaven. “You gonna make those sounds for me, babe?”

  “Yes.”

  He grinned as he filled her again. “Good.”

  Where Ero and she had been desperate to find their release, Luc took his time. His thrusts were measured and in control. He played with her, made having sex with him a full-body experience. His rough growls accompanied the mewls and cries of pleasure she made as his pace quickened. The same emotional tsunami from before threatened to pull her under. She couldn’t explain it. She’d been ready to spend the rest of her life alone, but the minute she gave over to both men, a chip of her broken heart fit back into place, and she didn’t think she could ever be without them.

  “What are you thinking about, Sarah?” Luc’s thrusts were measured, ensuring his and her pleasure from them.

  “You and Ero, and me.”

  “Ah. Big day, huh?” He leaned down and kissed her. “Are we overwhelming you?” he whispered against her lips.

  She shook her head. “I feel like I’m coming to life again. I feel everything.”

  He gave her another one of his cocky grins. “Oh yeah?”

  “Yes. It’s like a million little fireworks going off inside me. I could fall apart and know you’d put me back together.”

  “Hell yeah we will.” His thrusts became more urgent. He reached deep inside her, touching her in places she didn’t know existed.

  Sarah wrapped her hands around his forearms and clung to him for dear life as he shoved her headlong into a climax she hadn’t realized lay hovering so close to the surface. She cried out. Sparks of electricity flowed through her as he continued to pump his hips, riding her from one climax to the next. Determination filled his gaze as he alternated between the soft licks and sucks of her nipple with the hard bites and flicks of his tongue against the abused peak.

  “Fuck, yes. You feel like—”

  “Heaven.” Ero groaned. “Like you can die in her arms and be reborn.”

  She glanced at him. He continued to rub himself through his jeans. The dazed, aroused expression on his face turned her on even more. Luc grunted. He looked over his shoulder then back at her. “You like knowing he’s turned-on right now?”

  She couldn’t deny it. “Yes.”

  “Good. Just wait till you’re in our bed between us. We’re going to show you just how good it’ll be when we come as one.” He grunted and shoved deep. “All this talk has got me close to blowing.” He slipped from her. “Turn around, babe. Spread your legs for me.”

  She got into position and bit the inside of her cheek when he filled her again. Flashes of light filled her vision from the mini orgasm detonating within her. She relished it, enjoying each little wave of bliss ricocheting inside her. Luc buried his face in the crook of her neck. The sounds he made, the constant rumble in his chest devastated her in the most delicious ways. She wanted more. She didn’t want this to end. Not yet anyway.

  “God, you’re perfect. Too good, though.” He reached around her and found her clit. The way he manipulated the bundle of nerves propelled her toward a cataclysmic orgasm.

  She sucked in a breath and tensed. He kept her right on the ledge—one wobble either direction, and she’d fall off the cliff of her impending release. “Luc. Please.”

  “Mmm, there you go begging.” His breath caressed her neck. “I love it when you say my name breathlessly. It goes straight to my balls.”

  She pushed back at him, wiggling her hips in a silent plea. “You’re killing me here.”

  “Not yet.” The amusement in his voice had her smiling. “Come for me, babe.” He added pressure to her clit and thrust once more. At the same moment, he bit down on her neck, right where he told her he would.

  Her world shattered. Only where they were connected remained. The fringes of her vision darkened as wave after wave of her release rushed through her. His groan added to the bliss rolling through her.

  “Wow.” She braced her hands on the counter in front of her as she shook from the force of her release.

  “Better than wow.” He throbbed inside her as he gathered her in his arms and held her close. “You’re the most amazing woman we know.” Luc kissed her. The soft brush of his lips over hers had her heart clenching.

  “I hate to cut this short.” Ero’s voice pierced the haze of what had been one of the best orgasms ever, besides what she’d experienced with him. “We should be working on lunch.”

  “Naughty girl, distracting us like you did.” Luc nuzzled her neck. “We should spank you or something later.”

  She laughed. “Sure. Blame me. You’re both raw, dominant power. There’s no way in the world I could even try to deny you, and let me tell you, I tried my damnedest.” She grabbed her clothes and put them back on, albeit a bit slowly. Her knees wobbled, and she still trembled from having her world rocked. “I will never look at this place the same way again.”

  Ero chuckled. “Neither will I. What a way to christen it.” He stood and adjusted himself. “You’ll help me out on my problem later, little mate.”

  “You’re—”

  A knock came at the door, startling her. Sarah tucked her shirt into her pants as she hurried to the door. Shit, how long have we been fooling around? Popping the door open
, she startled in surprise.

  Miss Fern arched an eyebrow. “Hello, child.”

  Chapter Seven

  Luc came up behind her as he finished zipping his jeans. “Miss Fern, what trouble are you getting yourself into today?”

  “Not as much as I would like to.” She winked, giving him a knowing smile. “I actually need Sarah.”

  She instantly went on alert. “What’s wrong? What happened?”

  She patted her hand. “Nothing horrible. Dylan took a spill at school, and he’s with Miss Claire while Jason grabs one of the healers to take a look at him.”

  Anxiety filled her. Here she was having fun and her boy had gotten hurt. “I have to go to my mom.”

  “Don’t worry, dear. Take your time. He’s all right. Just a couple of scratches. Your mother wanted you to know is all.”

  “Thank you. I’ll be right there.”

  “You’re not going alone.” Luc grabbed her arm. “I’ll go with you, and Ero will meet up with us as soon as he closes down the shop.”

  She hated taking them from their jobs. “Are you sure?”

  He growled at her. “You’re our mate. Your boys are our boys. Of course we’re coming with you.”

  She breathed out a sigh of relief. In all honesty, she didn’t want to do this alone. All of her fears and worries had bled through to her boys to the point she’d become overprotective of them, barely letting them out of her sight. Lately, she wondered if maybe there’d been something wrong with her. “Thank you.”

  “You’re welcome.” He grabbed her coat and handed it to her. “We appreciate the help, Miss Fern.”

  She nodded. “Take your time, and congratulations.”

  Mortified, she buried her face in her hands. If the situation hadn’t been so serious, she’d have laughed. “Thank you.”

  Sarah rushed through the door to her mother’s house, Luc hot on her heels. The silence that greeted her was deafening. When she saw no one in the living room, she headed for her old bedroom. Her footfalls echoed off the walls—like gunshots—ricocheting through her head as every horrible scenario her twisted mind could conjure up played on a loop. Her throat constricted. Her heart threatened to beat out of her chest. The anxious worry filling her since the moment Miss Fern showed up at the café threatened to spill over in nasty, hysterical tears.
