Mack

There was a reason why I steered clear of Harper.

When she stepped back into the room, that damn smile of hers, full of mischief, was right there, challenging me to take another step.

So I did. Closer to her, even though every instinct told me this was a mistake.

No, not every instinct. The wolf, he was the one moving my feet, bringing me closer until the backs of her legs hit the edge of the bed.

His claws, my hand, reached up, hovering for just a second as we fought a war.

I wanted it wrapped around the barrel of my rifle, and he…

He wanted her.

Harper’s shuddering breath fanned over our palm as we touched her jaw, feeling the tension leech away as her lips fell open.

That was the point when I broke. I wanted to be inside her, my tongue in her mouth, my cock in her cunt, and even then, that wouldn’t be enough.

My knot buried inside her, that’s what the wolf insisted on.

No, I told him, no, even as I leaned over and claimed Harper’s mouth as mine.

Kissing her was dangerous. I couldn’t focus on anything else, let alone my stupid fucking brother.

Tor and Kieran appeared from nowhere, it felt, my eyes flicking open when I heard a rustle, then the sounds of kisses raining down on Harper’s neck and shoulders.

Watching her lean into them, her hands rising to cradle their heads, then pull them closer to kiss, was all I could focus on.

“Don’t go running off on me, Fur Face,” she said, grabbing my shirt and using it to haul me closer.

“I’m right here,” I growled.

“No, you’re not.” She tapped my forehead. “Not yet, but you will be.”

I wanted to protest, to explain why I couldn’t, mustn’t, give her my entire focus, but she just shook her head as she grinned. There was no way she was stronger than me, but when she tugged my head down, I followed, like the good doggie I was.

Maybe because her lips felt like satin, because she sucked in a little breath, right before she kissed me.

Because her mouth opened almost immediately, as if sensing my need.

My tongue connecting with hers, the silken slip making me think of other things.

My hand shot out, taking possession of her cheek as the others nodded.

“Time to help you out of these,” Tor said, his fingers making fast work of the buttons of her blouse while Kieran undid her bra.

Seeing the twin swells of her breasts had me pausing, unable to stop staring.

“The look on your face.” Harper smiled as she pulled away, pulling both garments off her arms and tossing them on the floor. “It’s like you’ve never seen tits…” That smile faded as she realised the truth. Her eyes went wide. “You haven’t.”

“Having a homicidal brother stalking you kinda makes casual sex impossible,” I said, trying to joke and failing.

“So you’re…?”

Her hand landed on my chest, and I couldn’t help but cover it with mine. Just hold her there, glorying in the moment when my mate touched me.

“No one’s ever been near what’s yours,” I replied simply. “Never will.”

“We’ve been waiting for you the whole time.”

She turned and stared at Tor, then Kieran.

“Well, if you’re mine.” She had my shirt unbuttoned in seconds, smoothing a palm across my chest before tugging at Tor’s shirt.

He had it off and over his head in seconds.

The dickhead flexed just a little to make his pecs pop.

“Then I’m pretty sure clothes are just an impediment right now.

” Tor didn’t need encouraging, getting naked in seconds.

She turned to Kieran. “Need help, Bear Boy?”

“Do you?”

She smiled at his challenge, but some part of me felt deeply satisfied when her eyes went heavily lidded as he stripped down as well. That possessive look, it told me that she liked what she saw, wanted it for more than just a roll in the hay. That she wanted them.

Us.

I pushed that thought away as she turned back to me.

“Something holding you up, Fur Face?” Her eyebrow cocked up. “I figured by your age, you’d learned how to dress and undress yourself.”

“I’m not a…”

Harper was fucking playing me. My shirt was torn off, my belt undone before the wolf stopped reacting to a challenge and my brain came online. I reiterated our position, that this was dangerous. Dax was coming, and we had to be ready…

Not now.

I had iron control over my wolf, but that was shredding by the second. Harper, he insisted, mate. Warm, willing and most importantly… My eyes slid down as the other two removed the rest of her clothing. Wet, I could smell her arousal as soon as her underwear was removed.

Tor tilted her head his way as he claimed her lips as his, but it was Kieran I watched closely.

As his lips dragged over her neck, I caught the flash of fang.

He was barely holding himself back. I knew what that felt like, my own mouth filling with saliva, the need to mark her far more intense than mere sexual desire.

Then and only then, she’d be mine, ours.

But that couldn’t happen.

As I crawled onto the bed, following the three of them, I was making frantic bargains with the wolf.

We couldn’t mate with her until Dax was cold and ten feet under.

We wouldn’t to save her the pain of the loss that was no doubt to follow.

All sensible thoughts to have, so why did they fray and turn to dust the moment I got closer?

My hands went around her ankles, forcing her to break away from Kieran, staring as she tried to work out what came next.

Her, of course.

“Haven’t been able to get the taste of you out of my head since that night.

” Her cheeks flushed a pretty pink. “But this time, you don’t have to stay quiet.

No neighbours to hear the sounds of you coming apart on my face.

I want to hear them.” I bent down, more wolf than man, as I pressed kisses to the inside of her knee, then higher and higher.

“Want to know exactly how good I’m making you feel. ”

“You’re pretty cocky for…”

That choked off retort as my tongue flicked out, then slid between her folds.

Yeah, that was music to my ears. The way her hands slapped down on my head, pulling me harder against her was even better.

It was like she was scared I’d pull away, but I’d been forced over that line.

There was no coming back, not until she did.

My thumbs spread her wide, forcing her thighs to wrap around my head.

The world closed down to just her skin, her slick, and her scent, filling my nose with its floral perfume, right before I lunged forward, ready to take my fill.

I found her clit instantly, testing that little nub with a few circling strokes with the tip of my tongue.

The way her hips bucked upwards rather than jerking away made clear she was more than ready.

I flattened my tongue and swept it across her clit to the sounds of her moans.

“Yes…” That was the sound I wanted to hear. “Yes, fuck, Mack…”

But I needed more.

One hand pulled away, several fingers forcing them inside her seconds later, only to feel her tighten around me.

She’d strangle my cock when I finally shoved myself inside her, milk my knot dry, and that had my hips moving against the sheets, the soft slip of fresh cotton a poor substitute for the silk of Harper.

I angled my fingers up, raking them along that rough spot within her, forcing her up and off the bed, her whole body quivering.

“Is he treating you right?” I opened my eyes to see Kieran leaning down, thumbing her nipple as he stared into her eyes.

Tor’s were bright green as that rough tongue of his made a mess of her other nipple.

“Mack got you feeling good?” Just a quick nod.

She wasn’t capable of anything else. “Gonna make you come?”

I would. The wolf and I experienced a brief moment of simpatico, bending my head to go back to work, but Harper had other ideas. She pulled free, shoving me onto my back, then scrambling up to take position there.

“Harper…”

That was supposed to come out as a sharp rebuke, but instead was a moan. Her wet cunt kissed the shaft of my dick, settling right over my knot.

Fuck.

Whatever reservations I had, they were well and truly gone.

Instead of focussing on getting out of here and keeping the pack safe, I was fighting the need to pin Harper down and rut her into the bed.

Something she seemed well aware of. As she smiled, reaching down and grasping my cock, the others drew closer, stroking her as she stroked me.

“You think it's gonna be like it was last time.” That slight waver in her voice. “That you’re doing things to me. To please me, granted, but most of all, to remain in control. My orgasm is yours to bestow. We are yours to protect. But if this is to be a pack, sleuth…” She looked at Tor. “Attack?”

“Ambush.” He kissed her nose.

“Then we’re all in this together.”

My hands went out to stop her when she moved.

If she gripped me by the base and then worked her way down, I wouldn’t be able to stop her.

Fuck, knot, mate, that’s what my instincts told me as my claws popped free, clawing at the sheets.

I sent up prayers of thanks to the gods as she swung her leg around, that pretty pink pussy hovering over my face, seconds before I felt her lips part around my cock.

Fuck…

Why the hell hadn’t I done this before, my body asked, every nerve humming with the sensation.

Slick, wet as she would be when we finally mated, then her tongue had to go and move.

Pressing hard against the underside of the head, the sensation nearly unmanned me.

A little jolt of cum burst out of me, and right as I tried to fight the need to unload, she sucked it down hungrily.

Which reminded me of the feast just above me.

I pulled her down on top of my face, all need to be careful driven out of me.

Fangs dragged against her skin as my tongue slid along her entire seam.

I needed her taste, her slick, her moans of pleasure, muffled and reverberating all the way down my length.

I thrust into her throat, right as I held her tight, lashing her clit with my tongue as someone else moved behind me.

Dax! That was what the conclusion my brain jumped to, but the wolf just snorted.

He’d know the moment my brother got within ten feet of the place, ensuring that Dax never got the jump on me.

No, it was Tor. I nearly growled at him, right as I felt a hand slide, then fingers pushed inside her.

So, we were going to work together? That was an idea I could get behind.

More strangled moans, then right as my tongue moved faster and faster, forcing her to stiffen, she had to go and give my knot a squeeze.

All pleasure, all pain, that’s what I felt.

Physically, she literally had me in the palm of her hand.

My heart felt like it stuttered, then almost went still as I climbed a peak of pleasure, just like when we were on the damn rollercoaster, but cresting that rise, then hurtling down, had nothing on this.

Never in my damn life had I felt such a perfect moment of bliss, and that’s where the pain came in.

Just this time, I thought, furiously licking her through her orgasm as mine hit me. Just this once. Give me this and I’ll crawl out of this bed, put the rifle across my knees, and wait my brother out. I’d kill him just like I did my dad, even if Dax took me with him.
