“I’ll convince you.” She grins.
“I don’t doubt that.” I shake my head. “There might be trouble. Heath is helping us, and they have a lead on Frank.”
“That’s what Bane was talking about at supper,” she mumbles.
“Yes.” I squeeze her legs.
“I’m not worried. I have four mates to protect me.” She smiles.
“Say it again,” I growl, and she tilts her head. “You’ve accepted we are your mates.”
She lifts a shoulder. “I believe you are…my mate.”
“I don’t have a lot of experience with self-control.” I look down her body, and at my hands. “I was always encouraged to let my beast out. He's prowling inside, happy to be near you, but wants to be closer.” I look up. “I want to touch you.”
“I—okay.” She licks her lips.
“I want you to pick a word. Something that you would never usually say. I'll never ignore the wordstopbut we need something else. I don’t want to scare you, or go too far if you aren’t ready.” Her scent becomes stronger. “I'll take cues from your body. I’ve never had someone so important in my life. I don’t want to fuck up your trust.”
“A word,” she murmurs, frowning. “Ballet. My father forced me to take classes. I hated it.”
“Alright, ballet.” I straighten and glide my hand over her head. “Would you mind having Remy in the room with us?”
“Oh.” Her heart beats faster. “I wouldn’t mind.” She gasps as I stand up, holding her in my arms. I walk to the bed and sit on the edge.
“He can step in if I lose control.” Remy opens the door and comes in. “Stand up.” She blinks and backs off my lap. “Turn around.” She doesn’t hesitate, and I look at Remy. I see the satisfaction in his expression. She complies beautifully.
“Gorgeous,” Remy hums, stepping close to her. He glides his knuckles down her cheek before moving back.
“You aren’t…”
“I’m going to watch,” Remy says.
He will enjoy seeing our mate come apart, but he knows his job is to control me if my animal tries to come out.
Hurting Haven would be something I could never come back from.
Chapter Fourteen
Haven
This is my life now. I have four mates. Two of them are watching me, ready to do things to my body I’m sure I’ve never experienced before. My mind is scrambling with all the awful things Lawson went through. The moment the mood changed, my body was ready. Suddenly having four men want to be with me is mindboggling. I’ve never even gone on a date with two different guys in one week. Bane gave me an orgasm earlier, and I’m ready for more. Being this turned on all the time can’t be normal.
“Did you hear her word?” Lawson asks.
“Yes.” Remy leans against the door in front of us, crossing his arms.
“Are you ready?” Lawson asks, and I look over my shoulder.
“Yes.”
“I want to make you feel good,” he says.
“I like feeling good,” I blurt, and then press my lips together. Remy chuckles, and I feel the vibration through my body.
“We want to make you feel everything,” Lawson rumbles, sliding his hands around my waist. I gasp as he dips his fingers under my waistband. “Keep your eyes on Remy.”
How can I look away? He’s wearing black slacks and a dark blue dress shirt tucked into them. His stance is casual, yet powerful. His gaze is locked with mine. For a moment, I think I see his animal shining through them.
