A Faire in Paradise (8 page)

“You see, darlin’?” Wade moved to sit next to her. Reaching up, he brushed the hair out of her face. “Your body has been telling you that you are our mate for a while now. Don’t let it embarrass you. We like the fact that you say you’re ready for us, but don’t be upset with us if we decide to make sure, okay?”

Alexa, face burning, only nodded. She knew what they said was true, but it didn’t make it any less embarrassing.

Slowly, the men undressed themselves. She wasn’t sure if it was to give her a good show, or if it was so she would have the time to back out. Either way, she got a good look and was able to ascertain that the bulge in the front of their jeans was all them and not a pair of socks stuffed in the front to make them look as though they were well endowed. She remembered correctly all right. She definitely hadn’t been imagining things the other day when she saw them naked. They really were packing!

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. This was going to be something else. It was one thing to use toys on herself. It was something else, entirely to participate in an actual ménage—especially at her age.

Ryker watched their mate as she stared at their bodies. He knew they looked good. It wasn’t as though he was conceited about it. They took care of themselves, not that it was difficult with their metabolism, and their bodies looked good as a result. Though, if he were to be honest, all shifters had awesome bodies. It was their metabolism. They could literally eat a cow and not gain an ounce.

He would miss the little extra padding their mate had once she was one of them. If they were lucky, her body would decide that she needed that little extra and keep it. He was certain she wouldn’t like it, though. He knew that she, like most women, fell into the trap that human males laid that they weren’t healthy or attractive with a little extra weight. That somehow, they were less than human beings because they didn’t conform with the social norm.

In his lifetime, he’d seen many women who had carried a little bit extra with them and they were healthier for it. A human’s body stored fat because it knew it would need it at one time or another. One woman that his mother knew, would have wasted away to nothing during her cancer treatment had it not been for the extra weight she’d put on just before she took ill.

A person’s body was always right for them—especially if they were the type that just couldn’t take off the extra weight no matter how they tried. That was his opinion, anyway. Whether he was right or wrong didn’t matter. All that mattered to him, at the moment, was getting the beautiful woman on the bed in front of him as naked as he was.

“Are you ready, baby?” Wade asked as he kicked his pants into the corner across the room.

“I think so.” She nodded and licked her lips. He loved when she did that. It made his cock jump.

Ryker watched as she squirmed, rubbing her thighs together. The scent of her arousal wafted up and made him groan. He wanted nothing more than to settle himself between her thighs and lap up the thick cream he knew slid from her channel to coat the inside of her thighs. He was certain it had already soaked through her panties, especially if she wore one of those nearly non-existent thong things he’d seen in the stores.

She squirmed again and Ryker reached down to take her hands. “Stand up, sweetheart. It will be easier for us to undress you.” He smiled when she whimpered. This woman was definitely the one. Nothing could make a woman so aroused as her mates and Alexa was definitely aroused.

Slowly, they stripped her clothing from her body, kissing each newly exposed inch of creamy flesh. Her arousal grew stronger, her scent more heady with every press of their lips against her silken skin. He couldn’t wait to get to her shorts, when he could pull her panties down, settle between her luscious thighs and lap at her wet slit.

His heart sped up when Wade reached around her and unbuttoned her flimsy shorts, sliding them down her long legs until they pooled into a little green puddle at her feet.

Kneeling, Ryker grasped the tiny sides of her lacy panties and pulled them down, his breathing quickened and his mouth watered as he leaned forward to remove the last garment from her perfect body.

“You’re so perfect, baby,” he said as he lifted each foot in turn to remove her panties completely and throw them across the room where they joined Wade’s pants in the corner. “I can’t wait to settle you on the bed, crawl between your silky legs and lap at your dripping pussy. Tell me you want it, too.”

“God, Ryker. It turns me on when you talk to me like that. No one has ever talked to me like that before.”

Wade pulled her into his arms and nuzzled her neck as he slowly walked her back to the bed and lowered her down onto the thick comforter. Wade wasted no time, once he had her down on the bed, he kissed her passionately, his hands cupping her breasts while his thumbs thrummed over her erect nipples.

Unable to wait another minute, Ryker settled himself between her legs. Putting her legs over his shoulders, he blew warm air against her wet slit before he stuck out his tongue and gave her a long, slow lick.

Moving lower, he started over, pressing his face against her heated center, he licked upwards, savoring her delicious taste. He swirled his tongue around her clit, sucking it into his mouth as Alexa stiffened and screamed. Orgasm after orgasm washed over her as he licked and sucked at her hardened nub.

He glanced up to see Wade pulling and tugging one nipple while he sucked the other deep into his mouth. It was at that moment that Ryker realized they were both put on this earth to pleasure this one woman. To make her life complete with their love as they made her theirs in every way.

Alexa’s body stiffened, rocked back and forth as she reached for another orgasm, one that would be harder, harsher than any that came before it. A thin sheen of perspiration shone on her skin as she moaned beneath him, her fingers deep in his hair, scratching his scalp and pulling him tighter against her quivering mound.

Ryker didn’t stop, he didn’t even slow when she screamed out another release. He continued suckling her clit, flicking the sensitive bud with the tip of his tongue as he speared two fingers inside her, and then three. He curled his fingers, pushing up against the elastic wall of her channel massaging her G-spot and waited for another explosive orgasm to wrack her beautiful body.

It didn’t take long. She came screaming, her body strung as tight as a bow before she collapsed on the bed, panting as he moved up the bed to lay on her other side.

“Oh-oh…God.” She panted a bit, most likely trying to catch her breath. “No one has ever made me come like that.” She raised up on her elbows and smiled at them both. “I can see that this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship.”

Reaching out, she grasped both of their cocks in her hands. “I want to pleasure you both at the same time. Right now.”

“It won’t be a true mating,” Wade replied. His hips jerked as she stroked him. “We each have to take you twice. The second time is the true mating.”

“Perhaps, but it won’t make this time any less fun, will it?” she asked with a saucy wink.

“No, it won’t, but I thought we should warn you, just the same. Once we make love, the
el calor
will intensify and make us all burn with the need to mate. We wanted you to know that.”

“I don’t care. I want you both. I-I need you both. Right now.” As though to cement her decision, she sat up, pushed Ryker flat onto his back and straddled him. “I can’t wait, damn it. I don’t know why. Maybe it has something to do with that mating heat you keep talking about. Whatever it is, I want you both
now
.”

With that, she lowered herself over Ryker with a sigh. “God you’re big. I can’t wait to feel you both inside me.” She leaned forward and bobbed up and down, stroking him in and out of her at her own pace until Ryker grasped her hips and helped her by lifting himself and ramming his cock deep inside her.

“Come here, Wade,” Alexa said, crooking her finger.

Wade did as he was told. He moved closer, getting on his knees his cock level with her mouth.

Ryker heard the other man groan when she licked around the thick head. He held himself in one hand, no doubt terrified that he would lose control and harm their mate by ramming his cock deep in her throat. She
was
still human, after all.

It didn’t take long for the sight of her full lips surrounding Wade’s thick cock to drive him to the edge. It had been years since he’d had a release and he was afraid he was about to spend himself too quickly, like an untried youth.

It was the sound of Wade’s growl and Alexa’s telling scream that sent him over the edge. He knew that their mate’s ride and talented mouth had brought both she and Wade to orgasm and he was no longer able to keep such a tight rein on his own desperate release.

He came with a growl, following his mates over the elusive precipice of complete satiation.

Alexa glanced at the alpha mayor, or whatever they called him, and squirmed. Would he think she was staying with Ryker and Wade just for acceptance? She hoped not. She didn’t know if she could handle him thinking the worst of her.

She snuck a glance at her mates who sat beside him. They were now members of the council. Apparently that made them powerful here in Paradise, not that she cared about that either. All she cared about was that she was the happiest she had ever been before. Two men adored her and she was about to settle in what appeared to be a perfect little town with her two best friends in the world. Life just couldn’t get any better.

It wasn’t easy to pay attention when all she could think about was what the three of them had shared over the last hand full of days. The carnival would leave in a few days and she would stay here with Milla and Nadya, as long as the alpha and council accepted them. Even if they didn’t, she was Wade and Ryker’s mate.

According to the men, there wasn’t much that anyone could do once they completed the ritual. That was tonight and she couldn’t wait. After four days of making love to her males in every way possible without double penetration, she was more than ready to feel them both ramming inside her. In fact, she couldn’t wait.

“Welcome to Paradise, ladies,” Adam said as he stood.

She didn’t know what else he’d said, she hadn’t been paying attention. Alexa had been too busy admiring her men.

“Please accept our hospitality and stay at the lodge, at least until after the faire is over and the carnival leaves. We have reason to believe you aren’t safe until this Perry fellow has gone.” He smiled as though to soften his warning. “We have people watching him. Don’t worry.”

He turned to say something to Ryker and Wade before they stood up and left the long table. Eight men had sat at the table. Her mates, Adam and his partner Nick, Matt and Merrick, Gemma’s mates and the two other men who followed Nadya around sniffing at her. They had to be
her
mates. Alexa hoped so. She wanted her friend to find the same happiness that she and Milla had found here.

“Shall we go?” Wade asked as he kissed her cheek and took her arm.

“I think we should.” Ryker took her other arm, kissing her other cheek, as well.

Alexa’s face heated. She knew that these other men either had mates of their own that they shared, or they were looking for a mate to share, but it didn’t help her be any less self conscious of the fact that she had two men who wanted her and with whom she spent her nights. They were relatively sleepless nights, as well. The thought made her shiver.

“Are you thinking of our bonding later?” Ryker whispered the question in her ear.

“Yes.” She shivered again. “I can’t wait. Not because I want to be one of you, and not because I want to stay here in Paradise, but because I can’t wait to express my love for you both.”

“Darlin’,” Wade said, squeezing her arm. “You do that every day. Just as we attempt to express our love for you every day.”

Two triads walked in as they approached the door. “Alpha,” one of the men said as he took Adam’s hand.

“Fish,” Adam said as he glanced around. “What have you found out?”

“Well, the ladies say that the man is a dream stalker. He’s much like a dream weaver, as they are. The gift is similar. While they use theirs for good, he uses his only to better himself. He stalks people’s dreams, finds out their secrets and blackmails them. Whether it’s for money, power or possessions. In more common words, he cheats people out of their lives. In fact, he cheated the couple who ran the carnival out of their livelihood. If you don’t mind, we’d like to try to find them and bring them here. We think the carnival folk would be better off with them in charge again.”

“It sounds like a plan.” He looked at the six newcomers and raised his brow. “Do you have a plan to get him to step down?”

“Oh, yes, Alpha,” one of the women said, her smile wicked.

Alexa could only guess these were the sisters that Wade and Ryker told her about.

“Boy do we have a plan,” her sister agreed with a little giggle.

Adam moved closer to the one who was glaringly pregnant and rested his hand on her protruding belly. “Just as long as you don’t do anything to endanger the little one, Samantha.” He grinned. “Or the little ones, as the case may be. You and they are more important. You always will be.”

“Don’t worry, Alpha. We’ll be careful. I know how upset everyone will be.”

Samantha’s dark caramel skin glowed with happiness. It was a testament to how well her mates and the people in this town treated her and her sister after all they’d been through. Ryker and Wade had told her the abuses the sisters had suffered at the hands of the
Tudra
madmen who had killed Adam’s parents and taken over Paradise. It was nothing short horrifying.

“Okay, everyone. This meeting is over. We’ll see you all at Nina’s party in two days. Have a good time at the faire, if it’s possible after all we’ve learned, and take care of your women.” He gave Nadya a glance and raised a brow at the two men whom Alexa was sure were her mates as though to tell them to get busy.
