Upon the Threshold (17 page)

“We’ve never met, so she will only know my service record and whatever details the family unit decided were relevant to the match. I doubt she will be hurt at losing anything beyond whatever prestige may have come from it. And yes, that is it,” he told her softly. He looked to her and sighed. “Are you upset I didn’t disclose this before our mating?”

“I should be. I know that. I really do. However, I understand why you waited. You were worried that I wouldn’t want to be with you.” She was hurt by that fact, and it showed in her tone. “No more secrets between us though? In our personal lives. I know that there will be things that you won’t be able to tell me that are all military related, and I’m fine with that, but I need to know that you will always keep me up to date in everything that has to do with us being a triad, right?”

“I was worried you would feel obligated to step aside and refuse the mating,” he said quietly. “I didn’t want to lose you, so yes, I am ashamed to admit this to you, but I kept it from you until you were tied to me fully. And, here and now.” He took her hand and pressed it to his heart as he stared into her eyes. “I swear to you, on my life and my very soul, there will be no secrets of a personal nature kept between us, Elisabeth, my mate.”

“Good.” Eli moved so that she could straddle his lap and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. “No more secrets. From now until forever there will only be truth between us where our personal lives are concerned. I love you, and I am not giving you up. Now or ever.”

Drawing her in closer, he pressed little kisses on her chin and jaw. “No more, I swear it,” he said again. Then he kissed her lips but kept the kiss nice and light, teasing her gently. “I didn’t like keeping this from you to begin with, but doubts crept in and I listened to them instead of what my gut was telling me.”

She caressed his cheeks and smiled. Hands on his cheeks, she moved them to the back of his head and pulled him closer. “I love you, Kraven. What happened was not of your control. You didn’t choose to become engaged to her. You did, however, choose me. That in the end is all that matters—that you chose me.”

“Thank you,” he said and let out a breath. His entire body seemed to finally relax, and it was then she realized just how tense he’d been for the entire time they’d been together. Pulling her tighter, he pressed a kiss to her lips, a real one with tongue, and from there, well, it heated up pretty quick.

Eli felt her back being pressed against the sofa and lifted a leg to wrap around Kraven’s hips. “Don’t stop.” She needed him. Right here, right now. Needed him. “Don’t even get fully naked. I just need you inside of me as quickly as possible.” Which was the absolute truth.

“Clothing in the way,” he muttered as he sucked on her neck lightly. His mouth was on one of the mating marks she now carried and just recently had discovered were ultrasensitive. As in connected right to her pussy and could—something else recently discovered—bring her to orgasm if played with just right.

He pushed a hand down between them to release his cock from his pants and then fumbled with her clothing. He got rid of what was necessary, and then thrust into her hard. But she was so wet and needy all she could do was arch up.

“Elisabeth?” He sounded worried, looked worried too when he lifted his head to look down at her. “Are you all right? I didn’t mean to be so rough with you.”

“Perfect. Don’t worry. I will tell you if you are too rough. I love it when you let go and you are rough with me. Don’t stop.” She loved the way that it felt when her men let their Beasts go.

He apparently was satisfied with her answer and whatever he saw in her face, because she got what she wanted in the next moment—Kraven fucking her hard and fast, driving her toward an orgasm, and then, because he was an evil genius, keeping her right on that edge. He pushed her top up to play with her breasts, licking and flicking her nipples. Every now and again he’d roll his hips in a way that made her clench, but he wasn’t letting her over that edge.

Eli was loving everything he was doing to her and wanted more. Reaching up, she grabbed him by the back of his neck and pulled him closer. She nipped at his lips and smiled. “Harder,” she growled.

He growled right back, and admittedly, his was more impressive. Especially with the change to his eyes and facial structure as the Beast made an appearance. And he had fangs—well, technically they weren’t, and yet they were. Whatever. Really big teeth. And he was panting as he slammed his fat cock into her over and over, deeper and deeper as he plucked at her nipples.

She watched him in complete awe and bared her shoulder to him, trusting him fully. “Kraven,” she moaned his name. She scraped her hands over his shoulders and down his back. She wasn’t easy on him just as he wasn’t easy on her, and she couldn’t ask for more.

Kraven buried his face in her neck. She could feel his rough breaths on her skin. And then the smallest, lightest of scrapes from his teeth. “Mine,” he growled, so guttural it was hard to understand. Then he bit her and pulled her up, fucking her faster, harder, with his cock growing inside of her to fill her beyond anything she’d had with either of them to date.

She felt the swelling of his cock, and it only had her moaning all the more. There was the slightest pinch of pain, but it went quickly, and then suddenly she felt as if he were locked inside of her pussy, his seed spilling deep into her womb as she screamed in pure and intense pleasure.

His large body jolted and shuddered over hers before he collapsed on top of her. A breath seemed torn from him as he let her neck go, no broken skin this time, she knew. But he licked at the spot anyway, his hot tongue causing little aftershocks to ripple through her.

Eli just held on to Kraven. She smiled as he laved her shoulder, and squeezed his shoulders all the tighter. When she finally was able to speak, she whispered, “Amazing.” And it had been.

His arms slid around her and cradled her close to his chest. He was rubbing his nose to her cheek. “Are you all right?” he asked quietly. His cock was still pumping his seed into her body, but definitely slowing and shrinking in size too.

“Very all right,” she whispered and held him closer. She moaned again, another orgasm coming from the feeling of his seed still spilling inside of her body. “Stars, I can’t believe you are still spilling inside of me.” And she loved it. She made certain he knew how much she loved it as well.

“Happens when we get to full size,” he said, pressing a kiss to her mouth before levering up on his elbows. “But that only happens when we’re one on one. You or any other female actually would never survive both your mates expanding when inside of you. It would hurt you, and instinctively, our Beast knows that, so it makes adjustments when we come.”

“I love how it feels. I think that we will have to do one on ones as often as we do all three of us together.” Because she would never give up having both of them inside of her at the same time. She loved these men, and any time she could have them both together, she would. Period.

“Whatever you want, little mate,” he assured her. Kraven pressed a kiss to her lips. Eli felt him hardening again. Goddess, she loved how quick Kraven’s and Lukkis’s recovery times were. “I should move. I have to be crushing you, and it can’t be comfortable with your clothing all rearranged as it is.”

“Or we could both get naked and get cleaned up in the shower at the same time?” she offered. “I think that I would really enjoy that a great deal. Having you place me face first against the shower wall and then taking me roughly and desperately as you just did.”

He nodded slowly and then gave her that little smile that made her toes curl. “We could do that,” he said. He drew out of her, his cock sliding over all her sensitive flesh, and then he stood, his cock standing up and ready for action. Reaching down, he just lifted her into his arms and, kicking his pants away, carried her into the bathing room.

Eli wrapped her arm around Kraven’s shoulders. She then began to pepper his shoulders and neck with kisses, nip at him with her teeth, and let him know in silence just how much she needed and wanted from him.

He let out a low rumble, very soft, but the vibrations tore through her body and made her ache. In the bathing room, he lowered her to her feet and undressed her quickly, but with infinite care. Then he finished stripping and herded her into the shower stall, backing her right to a corner. “I can smell your arousal. You want my cock again, don’t you?”

“Yes, I do. I don’t think there will ever be a day that I don’t want and need you. There won’t be a time I will ever turn you away.” They both knew it. She loved these men, a great deal. She knew they were all that she would ever want and need in life.

He flipped a switch and the shower started as he pressed in closer to her. “I think we should wash you up, get you nice and slick, and then I’ll fuck you. However, you want,” he said quietly, brushing his lips over her jaw.

“That sounds like a very good idea. I think that we should do that.” She grinned and winked at him. “However I want?” she asked with a smirk. “I want you to take me from behind again. I want to put my hands on the shower stall wall and have you taking me harder and faster than we both have just done.”

“Acceptable.” He nodded, then pressed a kiss to her lips. He stepped back and drew her under the shower spray. He handed her a cloth and put a dollop of their soap onto it. “Wash, quickly,” he told her. Stepping back farther, he crossed his arms over his chest and waited.

She did as he instructed, washing her body quickly and thoroughly. She grinned up at him and winked as she did so. Passing him the cloth, she teasingly said, “I think you should ensure that all of my hidden areas are nice and clean.”

He pulled her closer to him and slid the cloth down her belly. Slipping it between her legs, he pressed it to her clit with a finger and slowly circled the tight bud. After a couple swirls, he slid it back and rubbed it over her slit and ever so slightly into her body. He turned her quickly and placed her hands on the shower wall.

“You are killing me.” She widened her stance and pushed her ass out to him even more. “More,” she demanded from him. “Do it quickly. Get me clean so that you can slide your beautiful cock inside of my pussy. Please, honey.”

“I will,” he said, chuckling softly. “Have to make sure that you are very, very clean. It could be absolutely horrible if you were not.” He rubbed the cloth around a little more, pushing inside a little to tease her before withdrawing it. He slid it up her slit to her anus and rubbed there. Pushing in just a little, with a wiggle, then pulling out.

“I couldn’t agree more.” She moaned and pushed back against him. “Especially there.” She loved when he teased her anus. She had never thought that such pleasure could come from having her anus toyed with, but it did. There was intense and amazing pleasure to be found with her mates there.

“Yes, especially there,” he said. He nipped at her shoulder as he rubbed the cloth over her anus again and then in just a little. Over and over he teased her, giving her a bit but never enough. Finally, she felt his finger slide in deep, no cloth. He must have tossed it aside, and he finger fucked her ass.

“Yes.” She moaned and braced her hands on the shower stall wall. She did, however, push back against him as she moved. “So good,” she whimpered. “I want you to do me right now.”

“Bend over more so you can take my cock. And you need to tell me, where do you want me to put it, in here?” He wiggled his finger. “Or do you want it in your pussy again?” he asked softly.

“I want you anywhere that you want to be. I don’t care where as long as you are inside of me soon.” She whimpered and did just as he instructed her to do. She bent more and spread her legs wider. “Just fuck me.”

Apparently that was all she needed to tell him, because his cock was slammed into her pussy in the next moment. Only his hand on her shoulder, one he’d slipped up there before doing it, kept her head from hitting the wall. And he was fucking her, hard and fast, his finger in her ass teasing her.

Eli’s hands were on the wall and she pushed back against Kraven harder, faster and more desperately than she had before. She needed and wanted everything from him and knew she always would. “Gods, there,” she begged when he hit that certain spot deep inside her pussy that made her whole being quiver.

Over and over he slammed his cock into her, driving over that spot again and again. His finger in her ass was a lazy counterpoint, teasing her and messing with her mind. She could feel his cock starting to grow larger, making the thrusts harder to accomplish and pushing her closer to the edge.

Even though the water from the shower was hot, Eli shivered as if chilled. Closing her eyes, she sobbed and then cried out once more. The larger he swelled, the more pleasure she felt. Without even a moment’s notice, she came. She exploded in an intense orgasm that had her whole being lifting up and pushing hard back against him time and again.

He removed his finger and pulled her up as he came, his seed shooting deep inside of her. Wrapping his arms around her tightly Kraven buried his face in her neck and breathed her in. Stroking his hand over her belly, he nuzzled at her skin. “Perfect,” he said softly.

“I couldn’t agree more.” She was nearly limp in his arms. “I don’t think I will ever get used to that. I love the way you feel.” She felt him nuzzling at her neck, felt him nibbling along her shoulders, and she loved it.

“If you ever do, then I may need to come up with something different,” he said. She could feel the curve of his lips on her skin. He was smiling. They stood for a time, letting his cock slowly shrink before he eased it free. “Let’s clean up and go lie down. You look tired,” he told her softly, cupping her cheek lightly.

“It’s a very, very happy tired.” She treasured the physical and emotional love Kraven and Lukkis had for her. No matter what, she would never give them up. “I love you, Kraven,” she whispered softly.

“I love you as well, Elisabeth.” Brushing his lips over hers, he drew her under the spray and gently washed her up. Turning it off a little while later, he led her out of the stall and dried her. Once she was dry, Kraven carried Eli to their bed, where he laid her down.
