Hidden Dragons 2: Dragon Mates (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) Page 9
“They didn’t. Not really. This is part of the hot springs. The guys just managed to make it look like a pool and spa.”
“It’s amazing.” Niki felt some of her tension drain away. She didn’t hesitate to drop her towel on one of the loungers and step down into the warm spa.
“Yes, it is.” Bid sank into the water next to her. “They didn’t mean to embarrass you.”
“Yeah,” Niki sighed again. “Yet they did.”
“For guys who’ve lived for so long they’re certainly clueless about women.”
“Ya think?” Niki smiled for the first time since dinner and Bid laughed. When they finished laughing, Belinda’s face turned serious.
“They love you, you know.”
“No, they don’t. They don’t even know me.”
“That’s not true. They begin to fall for you as soon as the dreams start. You’re their mate, Niki. The one woman the fates or gods or whatever have gifted to them. They will never want to be with another woman now that they’ve met you.”
“Are you for real?”
“Absolutely.” Bid reached over, clasped her hand, and squeezed it. “My guys have told me just the thought of touching or even smelling another woman makes them feel sick.”
“Shit! What am I supposed to do? Give up everything I’ve worked so hard for just to be with them?”
“Let me ask you this. Do you want to lose them? Do you want to walk away and never see them again?”
Niki didn’t have to answer verbally because the pain in her heart at that thought was excruciating. It didn’t seem to matter that their thoughtless words had hurt her. All that mattered was that she see them, touch them, have them touch her, again and again and again.
“I rest my case,” Bid said and then got out of the spa.
Niki looked toward the door when she heard movement and quickly shifted her gaze to the far wall. Belinda’s mates entered the pool room but so did Randy, Rex, and Russ. They moved aside when Bid and her men left and then they walked toward her. She couldn’t help but glance at them from beneath her eyelashes and peruse their sexy, muscular physiques and ruggedly handsome faces.
She set her teeth and stubbornly lifted her chin when they all crouched down close to her.
Randy reached out toward her but stopped the action midway and sighed before dropping his hand to rest on his thigh. “I’m sorry, Nikita. I didn’t mean to embarrass you.”
Niki took a deep breath and as she exhaled clasped his hand in hers. “I know you didn’t and I’m sorry for reacting the way I did, but that sort of conversation should only ever be had in private.”
“You’re right,” Rex said as he settled on his knees closer to her. “Although we’ve had…relationships in the past, we’ve never felt the way we do for you for anyone else.”
“And what is that?” she asked and didn’t realize she was clutching so tightly to Randy’s hand until he caressed the back of it with his thumb.
“You are everything to us, darlin’.” Rex stroked a finger down her cheek. “And since you mean so much to us, are very important to us, we’ve been trying too hard. Each time one of us opens our mouth we seem to be screwing up. That’s not our intentions, Niki. We want everything with you.”
Niki’s heart flipped and then warmed with emotions so intense tears burned the back of her eyes. And although there was still so much to learn about these three men as well as decide what she was going to do with the rest of her life, there was no way in hell she was walking away.
How she could feel so much for them after such a short amount of time she didn’t know, nor did she really care. They drew her like a moth to a flame, a bee to honey, and she needed to know what it was like to be with them. The craving was so intense it was painful.
Her body was aching with need to have them touch and love her but this wasn’t just about the physical aspects. Her heart was so full of warmth it was almost bursting out of her chest and the yearning to know them as well as she knew herself was too intense to ignore. These men wanted everything with her and if she were honest with herself she wanted everything with them.
“I forgive you.”
“Thank you, baby.” Randy lifted her hand to his mouth and kissed the back of it.
Rex squeezed her other hand. “Thank you for your generosity.”
Russ leaned down and forward and kissed her on the forehead. “You have such a big heart, darlin’. Thank you for not holding a grudge.”
“Are you ready to get out?” Randy asked.
She nodded and let him and Rex tug her to her feet and out of the spa. Russ snagged the towel from the lounger, wrapped it around her body, and then swept her from her feet. He carried her through the door and she hoped toward the rest of her life.
Chapter Ten
Russ’s cock was hard and throbbing and even though he wanted to strip the bikini from Niki’s body and devour her with his mouth, he kept his hunger for her contained behind a high wall. She may have forgiven them their transgressions but she hadn’t yet said that she would accept them as her mates. His dragon was becoming more insistent to mark and claim her but he pushed back hard.
He and his pod brothers needed her acceptance verbally before they touched in a sexual way because their beasts were so close to the surface he knew that one touch would be like setting a match to kindling. He was so hot for her his body felt like it was on fire and this time it had nothing to do with his dragon or naturally higher temperature. It had everything to do with the woman in his arms.
When he entered the living room he slowly eased her to her feet and reluctantly stepped back. Randy and Rex came to stand on either side of him and although he could tell his dragon friends were just as eager to love their mate, they remained quiet.
Niki met each of their gazes and when she started gnawing on her bottom lip, he swallowed down the groan of hunger building in his chest as he eyed her petite body over. He wished now that he hadn’t covered her sexy feminine body with the towel, but her comfort came before his lustful needs.
She turned to look over her shoulder and then took two steps back and sank onto the sofa.
“How does a claiming work? What would you do to me?”
Excited elation surged through his body and his cock jerked, releasing pre-cum from the tip. Shit! If I don’t get hold of myself I’m gonna come in my pants.
“You’re not the only one,” Randy replied.
“Would you two shut up?” Rex snarled.
Russ nodded and gave his pod brothers a chagrined smile because he hadn’t meant to say that for them to hear but right now he didn’t care. All he cared about was making their mate comfortable and giving her as much knowledge as she wanted. And hopefully by the time they’d finished explaining she would agree to be theirs.
He walked over and sat on the cushion next to her. Rex and Randy sat in the two large armchairs across from her.
“We would make love to you and let our dragons come to the surface. Our incisors will lengthen into fangs and we will bite you where your shoulder and neck meet,” Randy explained.
Niki’s cheeks turned pink and she licked her lips nervously. “Do you… Will you… Shit!”
Russ took her chin between his thumb and finger, turning her head until she met his gaze. “Don’t be embarrassed to ask us anything you want, darlin’. We won’t be offended.”
“Do you have to make love to me all at the same time?”
Russ’s cock jerked and although he wanted to shift in his seat and ease the strangulation his pants had on his hard dick, he remained still. This was about her, not him. It didn’t matter that he was uncomfortable.
“Not unless you wanted us to. We can do one-on-one and still claim you, Niki.”
She released the breath she’d been holding in a big whooshing gust and the tension in her shoulders eased. “Thank god for that.” When she started frowning again, Russ knew there were more questions rattling around in her head and waited. “Will it hurt?”
“When you bite me?”
“For a moment but then you will feel nothing but pleasure.”
She sank back into the seat and crossed her arms beneath her breasts. “I’ve…never done this before.”
Russ stilled and tried to work out if she was saying that she’d never had a ménage before or if she was talking about having sex. If it was the latter they were going to have to take it slow with her. There was no way he and his friends wanted to scare her with their hunger.
“What do you mean?” Randy asked with a frown. “A ménage?”
“No,” she answered. “Though I’ve never had one of those either.”
“Are you saying you’ve never had sex before, darlin?” Russ asked when he finally managed to get his tongue uncleaved from the roof of his mouth.
She shook her head no, but then quickly changed it to a nod and her face turned bright pink.
Randy slid from his chair to his knees and then shuffled over to her before placing his hands on her thighs. “Don’t be ashamed of waiting, baby, be proud of it. There are so many young people giving in because of peer pressure and I’m sure you’ve heard some of them say they regret it. Am I right?”
“Yes.”
Russ brushed a strand of hair back off of her cheek. “Do you want to mate with us, darlin’?” He cringed and cursed under his breath. He hadn’t meant to ask that, but his dragon was clawing at his guts and pushing to get out so he could claim his mate and he was losing control.
“Fuck, Russ, stop fucking push—ˮ
“Please don’t fight. I never want to come in between the three of you,” Niki interrupted.
“You won’t,” Russ said and then sighed. “I’m sorry, Niki. I didn’t mean to pressure you, but my dragon is becoming too aggressive to keep back.”
Niki held up her finger when Rex opened his mouth to speak. “When I said yes, I was saying yes to everything.”
Russ’s heart nearly leapt out of his chest. He wanted to believe she was saying yes to mating with them but needed to be sure before they took this any further, because he wasn’t certain he’d be able to stop once he started touching her, kissing her.
He looked at Rex when he sucked in a noisy breath and then met Randy’s hungry glowing gaze.
“Are you saying what I think you’re saying?” he asked in a hoarse voice.
“Yes,” she answered in a soft voice. “I want to become your mate.”
Russ didn’t hear anything else. A loud roaring sounded in his ears and it took him a few moments to realize that it was his own blood rushing through his veins and he hoped like hell he could keep his dragon at bay because his animal was chanting in his mind. Yes. Mate, fuck, claim. Mate, fuck, claim.
* * * *
For a moment Niki wondered what the hell was going on. When she’d said she wanted to be their mate, she had expected them to pounce but when she glanced at them from beneath her lowered lashes they looked like frozen statues. She couldn’t even see their chests rising and falling as they inhaled and exhaled.
And then it was like something inside of them snapped. Russ let out an animalistic loud roar and before she had time to draw another breath she was hauled up against a massive masculine chest and she felt like she was flying through the air as Rex ran toward the bedroom. The next thing she knew she was flying.
Niki giggled as she landed on the soft bed and bounced a couple of times before settling, but the laughter died in her throat when she saw that all three of the men were ripping their clothes from their bodies. And she did mean ripping. She gasped when she saw the long talons at the end of their fingers and then watched as the razor-sharp claws sliced through fabric as if it was a hot knife sliding through butter.
Her eyes wandered over each bit of flesh revealed to her and she swallowed audibly at the three sets of wide shoulders and brawny chests. And their arms. Their biceps were huge and bulged each time they moved. When all three of them tugged at their ripped jeans and dropped them on the floor, all the saliva in her mouth evaporated as if she spent hour upon hour walking in the heat of a desert. Their thighs were as thick as her waist if not thicker but it was the huge bulges between their legs that gave her pause. Whether she made a sound or moved a certain way she couldn’t be sure but all three of them straightened up and looked at her. She was glad they still had on their form-fitting boxers because even though they left nothing to the imagination, Niki wasn’t sure she was ready to deal with the massive reality of her decision just yet.
“Don’t be scared of us, baby,” Randy said in a quiet low voice as he moved to the end of the bed and climbed on. “We promise to do everything we can so you don’t feel any pain.”
She swallowed and tried to dredge up some moisture in her dry mouth and then licked her lips. “I don’t think that’s possible.”
“Yes, it is,” Rex said and he and Russ began to walk toward her, one each on both sides of the huge bed she was resting on.
She didn’t get to say anything else because as soon as Rex and Russ got onto the bed, Rex cupped her cheek, turned her to face him, and slanted his mouth over hers. From that moment on she was lost. Lost in a sea of sensation, lost in desire and need, and yet she felt alive for the first time in her life.
Excitement, hunger, and trepidation warred in her mind but she pushed her uncertainties aside and let herself drown in sensation. Rex’s lips were so soft and warm and when his tongue swiped over her lower lip she moaned and opened up to his unspoken question right away. He tasted so good and as her tongue danced and mated with his, she felt like her bones and muscles were melting like an ice cube left out in the sun.
When she felt warm fingers at her neck, she didn’t think anything of it but when the bikini top she was wearing was pulled from her body she realized that Russ had untied the strings and removed it.
She whimpered when two large, hot hands landed on her ankles and then slowly caressed their way up over her calves, knees, and thighs. The fire burning inside grew to a blazing inferno and they hadn’t really touched her yet besides Rex kissing her.
Just as the hands on her legs got higher and higher another hand landed on her chest, just below her breast. Her pussy clenched, her clit throbbed, and cream wept out.
When Rex broke the kiss she groaned with frustration but then she moaned as Russ cupped the breast closest to him. His palm and fingers molded her feminine globe and she arched her chest, begging for more.
The tips of Randy’s fingers connected with the edge of her bikini bottoms and she gasped and pushed her hips up slightly trying to get him to touch her throbbing wet cunt. Her eyes flew open when she heard a soft deep chuckle and she opened eyes she hadn’t realized that she’d closed.
“You are so fucking sexy, love,” Rex whispered right before he cupped and lifted her other breast as he lowered his head.
She cried out when his tongue laved over the top of her nipple, sending zings of pleasure shooting right down to her pussy. Her internal muscles clenched again and more juices leaked from her vagina.
“How does she taste?” Russ asked in a raspy voice.
Rex released her nipple with a pop and met her gaze. His brown eyes were glowing with lust and she shivered as if he’d singed her with that hungry look. “Like strawberries and cream.”
“I have to taste you, too, darlin’,” Russ said in a growly voice right before his head dipped and his lips enveloped the other hard peak.
“Oh god,” she gasped and squeezed her eyes closed.
“Hmm,” Russ hummed as he drew her nipple and areola further into his mouth.
Rex swiped his tongue over her other nipple and then he, too, was suckling on the tip.
She couldn’t stay still any longer. They hunger was running rampant through her blood, through her veins, and burning her from the inside.
“Do you like that, baby?” Randy rasped. “Do you like having both your nipples sucked at the same time?”
&
nbsp; “Yes,” she moaned, drawing the s out so it sounded like she was hissing.
“I can smell your sweet cream, baby. I have to have a taste of that delectable-smelling honey.” Randy’s fingers pulled on the sides of the bikini panties and then he tugged them out from beneath her. His hands caressed the inside of her thighs and then he pushed them wide apart.
If she hadn’t been so into them, so hungry for them, she would have been embarrassed at being so exposed but the only thing her mind could latch onto was having the ache, the fire burning deep inside extinguished.
When she heard a loud sniff she pried her heavy lids open and saw that Randy’s head was close to her cunt. His eyes were closed and he licked his lips like he was already tasting her.
And then he lowered his head the last inch separating his mouth from her pussy and gave one long slow lick from her ass to her clit. She moaned and then whimpered when his tongue flicked rapidly over her engorged pearl. The fire burning so hot was almost too much for her to handle and yet she ached for more.
When she felt one of his thick fingers rim her entrance, she mewled, and then the mewl turned into a cry as he pushed that digit up inside of her. Her cunt clenched around his finger and she bowed her hips up trying to get more of it inside.
Rex and Russ continued to suckle on her nipples, occasionally scraping their teeth over the hard peaks, eliciting shards of pleasure to shoot down to her pussy and clit. She felt a slight stretching at her entrance and realized that Randy had added another finger to her wet vagina and he slowly and gently pushed those digits further and further into her channel.
Her muscles were so tight that his penetration was almost painful yet she felt no pain at all, only pleasure.
“Does that feel good, baby?” Randy asked in a deep husky voice after lifting his head from her pussy.
“Yes,” she moaned.
“Am I hurting you?”
“No,” she gasped.
“Do you want more, Niki?”
“Yes! Now! Please?” She didn’t care that she was begging. All she cared about was that the interminable aching hunger be assuaged.
