Carter watches me intently, his dark-brown eyes burning. “And why is that?”
I push my messy hair away from my face and realize that my laughter has deserted me. “Because I would rather be here than anywhere else in the world.”
A surge of triumph flares in his gaze, and he rocks his hips up as if my confession blew through his restraint. I cry out as he claims those last few inches of me and his knot bumps against my pussy.
“Emma,” he groans, then lowers himself as if to pull out of me.
But I sink to the bed with him, keeping myself impaled fully. “It’s okay,” I assure him. “It feels good.”
Sebastian leans in and kisses me deeply, the only one of them still fully human-shaped. He touches his nose to mine and murmurs, “I would rather be here than anywhere else, too. You don’t know how much it means to me to hear you say that.”
Troy nuzzles my neck from the other side. “Me, too, honey. You’re not weird, you’re just feeling the mate bond. Suddenly, everything feels right, doesn’t it?”
I stare up at him. “It does. I just keep thinking that we could have found each other so much sooner. We could have been together for years up until this point.”
Carter wraps his arms around my torso and holds me back against his chest. “No, Emma. We met at exactly the right time. You came to us when you were ready to accept this bond, and not a moment sooner. Now we get to spend the rest of our lives making up for the years we spent apart.”
He leans back, and I settle on his muscled chest, sighing. The way his cock stretches me sends delicious ripples of pleasure through me, but I still have to take his knot, and I have no idea how we’ll manage that.
Then Sebastian kneels between our legs and spreads my thighs so they’re hooked over Carter’s furry ones. Carter widens his knees, until we’re obscenely exposed.
“Oh God,” I whisper as I realize what his plan is. “Sebastian…”
He grins up at me and settles on his belly. “Do you know Carter loves having his knot sucked?”
He punctuates the words by giving a slurping lick to Carter’s knot, which makes our alpha groan and twitch underneath me.
“Seb,” Carter growls, “you’re supposed to makehercome, not me.”
He reaches out as if to grasp Sebastian’s hair and pull him higher, to suck my clit, but I intercept his hand and squeeze it tight to my chest, preventing him from doing anything.
“Go on,” I tell Sebastian. “Show me.”
Sebastian’s hazel eyes sparkle with mischief, but he lowers his head again and licks a stripe up Carter’s knot. “Oh, fuck,” he groans. “He tastes like you and Troy. Mind-blowing.”
Carter’s hips rock, and I love that he can’t hold himself back. It’s being inside me, as well as Sebastian’s efforts, that’s making him lose control. He doesn’t allow me to enjoy this moment in peace for too long—he twists his hands away from mine, but instead of reaching for Sebastian again, he cups my tits with both hands and plucks my nipples hard.
I jerk in his arms, a bolt of lust shooting through me. For a split second, I think about protesting, because this will be over too soon. But what he’s doing to me feels too good, so I relax in his arms instead and let him take care of me.
Troy watches us intently, his blue-eyed gaze roaming over my body, to the junction of my thighs where my pussy is stretched around Carter’s cock, to Sebastian’s muscular back—right down to his ass. Then he meets my gaze and raises a scarred eyebrow at me as if asking what I think of his suggestion.
I nod enthusiastically, wanting all of my mates to be included in this magical moment. My pussy softens around Carter’s cock, and pleasure builds inside me. Just a tiny bit of attention to myclit will send me over the edge. But I don’t want to come until they do, too, so I need Troy to distract Sebastian for a minute.
Troy slicks up his cock with lube, and I worry about Sebastian for a moment, then remind myself that they’re all used to his—and also made differently than humans. To them, having a knot is normal and enjoyable, and their bodies don’t need special preparation for it.
Sebastian sees me staring at Troy. He glances over his shoulder at the big man, and his eyes go glassy with want. He positions himself so his ass sticks up, offering himself to his mate. Troy rewards him by stroking his big, clawed hand over his ass, then reaches between his legs to pump his cock.
Sebastian’s whine of pleasure sends shivers through me, and I tremble on top of Carter, so freaking close already, barely holding back.
“You’re ready for my knot, aren’t you?” Carter purrs in my ear. “I feel the way you’re softening for me.”
I tip my head to the side. “I want to. But I don’t know how.”
“I’ll help you,” he says immediately, enthusiasm lighting up his eyes. “Just tell me if you get too uncomfortable. I don’t want to hurt you.”
Taking a deep breath, I relax and spread my legs wider. Sebastian lifts his head to watch us. Carter takes my hips and guides me down. Sebastian licks my clit with the flat of his tongue, lapping up all the wetness.
I cry out in surprise, but they take over, nudging and licking and sucking until I’m a panting, writhing mess.
