I knew she wasn’t wearing a bra by the jiggle of her breasts, but knowing and seeing were two different things.

“OK, I’m kinda getting self-conscious here.”

Her hands rose, ready to cover herself, which was my cue to grab them by the wrists. Stretching her arms above her head, Tex quickly took over. Nipples wrinkled in response to the cool air and for just a second, I thought about changing the temperature in the room. That, or I could solve the situation like this.

“I can wait,” I told her, even as I crawled up her body. “I can wait forever, if that’s what you need.”

“Waiting is definitely not what I want,” she said in a breathy voice. “I just want to feel good again. Can you do that for me?” Her eyes flicked from me to Tex.

“Whenever and however you want, omega,” he replied, moving to press a kiss to her lips.

As she sighed into his mouth, my hands moved. Just letting the fingertips trace the shape of her breasts, because touching Nadia was like placing your palms before a fire. The hot flames thawed me, but as those nerve endings came to life, so did pain. A small hiss escaped me, right as I turned my hands over to brush over her nipples. A muffled moan told me what I needed to know, so I shifted again, tracing smaller and smaller circles around her nipples, before reaching my prize. Thumbs pressed those hard points into fingers, dragging a deeper moan from her as her back arched up into my touch.

Academically I knew what I was doing. That nerve endings in her nipples could also stimulate the ones in her clit. Blood would swell into her breasts as I stimulated them more, making her more sensitive. That wasn’t what I was thinking as I dropped lower. The wolf rode me hard because it was his tongue that flicked out, then pressed against one nipple as we sucked it in. His fangs elongated, pressing into the skin on either side, right as my throat began to work. Harder, faster, in time with her little moans, until I forced myself free, only to move over to the other breast to repeat the same process. Tex must’ve freed her hands because one came to rest on the back of my head.

That small gesture was like a lightning bolt to my heart. For a minute, all I could do was sit there and feel her fingers caressing my skull. More, my heart demanded, as if it was a wolf, it was one that had been starved of all it needed. I pressed a gentle kiss to her nipple, then looked down at my mate.

“I think we said something about stripping you bare?”

My fingers went to her waistband and paused, waiting for her sharp little nod before pulling them free. Palm pressed into her abdomen, there was no way of stopping me from making a possessive sweep of her body. As I was transfixed by the sight, the feel of her, she went up on her elbows.

“I thought we were all getting naked. If you belong to me…” She seemed to be still processing that idea. “Then I want to see everything you’ve got.” Rolling upwards, her hand went to the hem of my shirt then paused to silently ask permission, just like I had.

Was I going to say yes? The thought of saying no to my mate seemed insane and yet that customary reticence was still there. Don’t touch, don’t look, don’t engage. But if I obeyed that mantra, I’d hurt Nadia, so instead, I reached behind and grabbed a handful of my shirt before pulling it off.

“Oh…” That impish smile, her hands hitting my chest and smoothing across my shoulders. “So that’s what you were hiding. Just so you know, it was worth the wait.” My abdomen jumped as she traced the shape of the muscles there. “You’re fucking gorgeous.” A glance back at Tex, who was already shirtless. “You both are.”

“Nothing compared to you.” He rose up, pulling the rest of his clothes off and if I was in any doubt about Nadia’s mood, it was extinguished by the way she followed the bob of his cock as he stepped free of his pants. “You’re right. We can’t do shit about what’s going on, but in this moment.” He moved behind her, pressing his body against her back. “I think we can make you forget all that crap for at least an hour or two, right, Grey?”

The two of them stared at me and before I could formulate a response, the wolf had me standing up. Shoes kicked off, it was his claws that eased under my waistband before we pushed both my underwear and shorts down. My knot throbbed in response her expression, shock, a little concern, and then a greedy look that had her starting forward, pressing her palm to my hip.

“You are my mate,” the wolf said. “Whatever you need, I will provide.”

“You.” She glanced back at Tex. “Both of you. Now, please, I need⁠—”

But she didn’t need to say a thing. As my lips crashed down on hers, my tongue invading her mouth, I knew. For some reason, unworthy males had failed to even consider her pleasure, but I would never make the same mistake. Kissing her neck, raking my fangs across the skin there, I didn’t bite down.

“I know what you need,” the wolf said. “Now lie back so I can give it to you.”

Chapter 30

Nadia

“I know what you need…”

Men had said that to me before and then proceeded to do the exact opposite.

Not these guys.

Grey looked half feral as he hung over me, the bones in his face becoming somehow more angular. My eyes slid down his truly impressive physique, but in the end they were drawn back to his intent gaze.

“OK, show me what you’ve got.”

Picking me up with little effort, my legs wrapping around his waist on automatic, wasn’t what I expected. His head tilting sideways, then darting forward, was more like it, but he didn’t kiss me.

“Tex—”

“On it.”
