Chapter Seven
Teddy
I’d kissed her.
I’d tasted her. My mate. The woman I’d love forever. And I couldn’t believe how amazing it was.
As we sat in front of the fire, I couldn’t keep my eyes off her. She was so beautiful, like a goddess, maybe a water nymph of some type since her eyes and hair colour reminded me vacations to the beach. I hated the fact that Amber attacked her like that. To use a curse on someone who was a visitor, someone you didn’t know and who wasn’t doing anything threatening went against everything we stood for. And I knew she’d cursed Mel because I saw how black the insides of the egg were when I cracked it open to wash away the curse, breaking it up so that it wouldn’t affect someone else. Yet I couldn’t deny the fact that I was appreciating the consequences. If Amber hadn’t cursed her, Mel might not have been semi-reclined while naked in front of me.
As I watched her and listened to her talk to my brother and my best friend, I downed my hot buttered rum. Unlike the human version, this recipe packed a punch since we used rums that had been specially made for shifters and our increased metabolism. It meant that after a couple of these, we would be drunk. Not that I’d let Mel get to that point, not when my cock ached to be inside her and my panther whined for its mate.
Yes, mate. I’d come to terms with it. We’d found her. Our fated one who would fit with us, make us more than whole.
The moment she handed her empty mug to Noel, I crawled to her, not caring if the sheet fell off me. It wouldn’t be the first Noel and Freddy would be this close to my dick since we’d shared women before. “I believe, before we were rudely interrupted, I was kissing you.”
But before my lips reached hers, a hand was thrust between us, blocking me.
“Uh, uh, uhh. Before I gave Mel her drink, which by the way has brought back some colour to her cheeks, you were stripping, and Mel’s lips were waiting for me.” Noel squeezed his head in between my face and Mel’s, kissing her.
Okay. Fuck. It was just as hot to watch him kiss her as it had been to see Freddy. To witness the way her body relaxed, almost melting into the person kissing her, perfection. It was like she kissed with her whole body, and I couldn’t wait to experience that type of kiss since during our first real one, I hadn’t touched her with anything, but my lips.
Freddy went back to kissing her neck as he helped to lay her back down. I fisted the sheet in my hands. I wanted to pull it down, to reveal her luscious body again, but first I needed to ask her if this is what she wanted because none of us had asked. “Is this what you want, Mel? The three of us? Making love to you?”
She ripped her lips away from Noel, who carried on kissing down the side of her neck closest to him. “Y-yes. I want it. I want it all.”
“You know this won’t be a one-time thing? That when we do this, it’s forever.”
Her eyes widened a little and her gaze bounced between us since Noel and Freddy pulled away to hear her answer without the influence of their lips. This was the most important moment. Did she recognize that we were her mates? Would she accept us?
“Wh-what do you mean?”
Noel increased the space a little between him and Mel. I caught the look of concern that flashed on her face, so I reached out, releasing one edge of the sheet to grasp her hand. I wanted her to know that we were here for her no matter what. That we weren’t just doing this because we were mated.
“We’re mates,” Noel told her. When her eyes popped open along with her mouth, it was easy to guess how she took his statement. I opened my mouth to clarify, but Noel, realizing his mistake jumped in. “The three of us”—he motioned between himself, my brother, and I—“are in a mate group, but we’re not sexually attracted to each other. We’ve known since we were teens that we’d end up sharing a mate, whomever she was. And that’s you.”
“But it’s not possible.” Her gaze dropped to her lap and sadness infused her tone. “Mates are rare and always the same species. So we can’t possibly be mates.”
Freddy tilted her chin up with his fingers until she was looking us all in the eye. “Baby, that’s just what the councils want us to believe, but it’s not true. The reason fated mates are so rare is because we’ve been kept separate from each other so people can’t find their mate or mates. That’s why the Alphas built this community. They are all true mates with each other despite the fact that they are all different types of shifters. Well, Parsley the fourth mate in their grouping is a witch, but when the guys first got together, they were all just shifters.”
“So, there’s more like us? All different?”
“Of course.” I squeezed her hand. “Once the storm ends and we take you to meet others. Then you’ll see. Some of the mate groups contain only two and others more. Some are LGBTQ and others are like us where we’re closer than friends or brothers, but have no desire for each other, only sharing that desire for our mate. We have shifters with witches, shifters with humans, witches with humans, and different shifters. I expect that as word gets out, we’ll see other paranormals arrive as well.”
A tear rolled down her cheek as she smiled the biggest and happiest one, I’d seen on her so far. “Then yes, I want forever. I thought I was losing my mind from the way you guys made me feel.”
“You make us feel the same way.” Noel took her lips again. The time for talking done, except for words like more, harder, yes, and our names.
I pulled down the sheet, revealing her naked body to me, to us. And since Noel and Freddy seemed busy with her chest and face, I made my way up her legs, kissing and licking up her inner thighs, spreading them wider as I went. And then I reached it, the holy grail, the place I wanted to taste as much as I wanted to sink in and never leave. But I settled on taste first.
I swiped her with my tongue, licking up and tasting the wetness that gathered there. A loud moan left me at the taste… sunshine like part of her scent. I dove in again, feasting on her, licking, sucking, toying with her until I had to use my arm to band against her hips, keeping her still and in one place.
Her moans became louder when one of the others left her mouth free for a second to catch her breath. And my cock ached with need, but I pushed my needs to the side. There would be plenty of time for little me to find release later. All my focus was on her and getting her to see stars.
I redoubled my efforts, slipping a finger, then two, then three inside her, feeling her squeeze her muscles around them as I, we brought her closer and closer to the edge. I circled her clit with my tongue, varying the pressure and speed, winding her tighter and tighter.
But when I felt her muscles tense and her breathing hitch, I knew it was time. I pressed my tongue against her, giving her clit a little nip as I twisted and bent my fingers, making sure to press on her G-spot.
She cried out our names as her legs clamped shut, pinning me to her. Not that I planned on going anywhere, I wanted to stay in this position for ever.
