Taming The Tigers (11 page)

Grasping Gabe’s shirt, Carmen ripped it open. Buttons flew everywhere as she lifted her head, her tongue tracing the line of his pecs. Closing his eyes, he tilted his head back, enjoying every soft touch of her fingers, every velvety swipe of her tongue.

After a moment, Gabe pulled away, her whimper of disappointment almost sending him back to her, still clothed. Calling on every ounce of discipline he had, he stood watching her expression as Malik pleasured her. He loved watching her toss her head, her chest heaving, her face flushed with passion. After a moment, he hurriedly tore his clothes off and fell back to the bed, his face buried between their mate’s lovely thighs.

He lapped at her labia, drinking up every drop of thick cream weeping from her vagina. She moaned when he sucked her clit into his mouth and bit lightly. Her hands fisted in his hair, holding him to her as he ate at her plump flesh.

“I’m going to—” Carmen gasped as he thrust his fingers deep inside her wet vagina and massaged her G-spot.

Finally, she let go with a loud scream, her human voice changing into that of her cat before turning human once more.

Carmen lay on the bed panting, her breath coming in short gasps. She knew what should come next. She wanted it, even though she feared it. Every woman in Paradise with two, or more, mates were all happy as the proverbial clam. She wanted that for herself.

Malik rolled her on top of him, his hand sliding between them to guide his cock into her empty vagina. She shifted, helping him as his cock slid easily inside her, moaning when the tip of his cock hit her cervix.

Pulling her down, he palmed the back of her head, kissing her deeply as her pussy stretched, growing accustomed to his size. Her stomach clenched and her inner muscles contracted, bringing a groan from deep in her lover’s throat. She contracted her muscles again, squeezing Malik’s cock and he groaned.

Gabe moved behind her, his hands caressing her ass cheeks. Something slick ran down her crack and he massaged it in, gently inserting his fingers, and stretching her back hole.

Soon, he pressed the thick head of his cock against her ass and steadily pushed forward.

“Relax,
malysh.
” He kissed her between her shoulder blades. “It will only take a moment and then you will feel nothing but pleasure.”

The slight burn gave way to pressure after he slipped past the tight ring. Gently, he pressed forward and then retreated, repeating his slow, but steady thrusts. Deeper and deeper he pressed until his body pressed flush against hers.

They both stilled, waiting for her body to adjust to their size before they began their measured thrusts, both moving in a steady rhythm. Pressure built inside her, the pleasure intense as they both rammed into her with abandon.

Carmen pushed down and back, meeting them thrust for powerful thrust as their passion took on new urgency and she knew they were nearing the edge of their control. Her fingernails turned to claws as she lost herself in the moment. Her leopard snarled as she scored Malik’s chest and she growled.

Malik reached up, grasped her face between his hands and stared deep into her eyes as they all came. Carmen screamed and her mates growled just before they each bit her on the shoulder, Malik on her left and Gable on her right.

Her cat screamed for her mates. It took over, the instinct too strong to resist. Her gums ached, her incisors lengthening. Leaning down, she bit Malik’s chest just above his heart then, using the flexible spine of her cat, she spun around to do the same to Gable—each of them carrying her mark, just as she now carried theirs.

It was done.

The leopard receded, taking its energy with her and Carmen collapsed onto Malik’s chest, exhausted. She didn’t even have the energy to complain when Gable scooped her up and carried her into the bathroom, setting her into the tepid water of a bath he must have drawn long before.

“It’s cold.”

“The better to wake you, then.” He chuckled when she batted at his hands as he washed her. Malik stood beside the tub, a towel in his hands when Gabe finally pulled her out.

Her mates dried her off and then Malik carried her back to the bed. “Your uncles said that they would like to see you married in the human sense. Do you object?”

“No.” She shook her head, her eyes closed. “In fact, I kind of expected that of them.” Opening her eyes, she looked at each of them in turn. “What about your enemies?”

“They have decided that continuing their pursuit of us or our loved ones would be detrimental to their health, now that they have learned of Kitrick’s disappearance.”

“Oh.” It was strange how she
knew
the man was dead, but she didn’t want anyone to confirm it. Did that mean she was too soft?

“No,
malysh,
” Gabe said, obviously reading her mind.

She knew mates could do that, but it still caught her off guard.

He kissed her forehead. “It means that you have a heart and we would be honored if you gave us a place within it. Though I know that you still question your feelings, I love you.” Gabe met her gaze, his green eyes filled with emotion.

“And I love you,” Malik added. “Our most fervent hope is that you will find it in your heart to love
us,
one day.”

“You already have a place in my heart. I thought you knew that.” Tears filled her eyes at the thought that she had unintentionally caused them pain. “I don’t sleep with just anyone, you know, and I definitely don’t swap blood samples during sex with every guy I meet.” She gave them each a slow kiss. “I love you both. I thought you knew the mating heat never lies.”

“But you said you no longer felt the heat.” Malik brushed her hair from her face. “Many times you told us this. And we’ve been told that not all females of different species feel it. Our males have had to rely on their instincts alone.”

“I’m pretty sure I felt the heat. I think I just didn’t realize that was what it was.” She lifted her lips in a one-sided grin. “All this time I’d been feeling the mating heat and I just thought I was uber horny for two of the hottest guys I’ve ever seen in my life.”

Malik turned the covers back and Gable set her on the bed. She patted the mattress on either side of her. “Okay, now...” Smiling, she raised a brow. “When’s the wedding?”

Dear Reader:

If you’re reading this, I hope it means that you’ve just enjoyed reading one of my books. Always a romantic, I started weaving little fantasies for my friends at the tender age of fifteen.

After complaining to my husband that my favorite authors didn’t write fast enough, he asked a fateful question. “Why don’t you write one of your own while you’re waiting?”

Once I started, he couldn’t stop me. I write in the morning, before work, and during my breaks at the day job, and I write at night when I should be relaxing. I’ve even been known to write in my sleep. Sometimes it even makes sense!

I grew up in Southwest Florida where I met and married the love of my life. My husband was in the Navy for twenty years, so if you wonder where I have gotten some of my ideas, I blame him. I suggest you do the same. He’s always saying he has wide shoulders. Let’s load them up, shall we?

Currently, I live in Michigan, seven miles from the nearest grocery store. I love living in the country. It gives me the peace and quiet I need to continue to write these stories for you. It also shows me a lot of natural beauty that I try to share with you in my books. While my titles may be dedicated to certain individuals who have touched my life in differing ways, please remember, every one of them is written for you.

My most recent dream is to continue what I do—to share more stories with anyone willing to read them. My new dream is to be able to pursue both my writing and my husband fulltime. Do you think he’ll run?
