Page 46 of Their Marked Mate

Her muscles stretched, stinging just a little.

“Relax. Let me prepare you.”

She shifted her weight from foot to foot, feeling restless and anxious. Her core ached and her clit tingled. Despite her emotional resistance, this was arousing her. Yet Nate was neglecting her usual erogenous zones.

“Better.”

He positioned a third finger and Luna started to tense. Then she realized what she was doing and relaxed. There was no choice but to surrender. Struggling at this point would only increase or prolong the pain. When he pushed inward this time the sting was minimized. What little pain erupted faded quickly, but nothing would ever minimize the intrusion.

“Very good. Now, let’s try the real thing.”

She closed her eyes, dreading what was about to happen. This was penance, the price she was paying for her disobedience. But it was also something more. Once she allowed this, there would be no going back. Her entire body would belong to them. They would be allowed to fuck her whenever and however they enjoyed.

Trepidation shivered down her spine, but a tingle of excitement chased away the unease. She belonged to them already. The entire village knew it, and so did she. If she hadn’t wanted this to happen, she would have chosen punishment.

Nate slid his fingers out and positioned himself against her well-lubed ass. “You’re still really tight, so I’ll go slowly. But it’s important for you to accept this. If you resist, it will hurt much worse.”

“Submit,” Alex reminded, gently stroking her back. “You promised to submit.”

On impulse, Luna reached back and pulled her cheeks apart. “I’m willing, beta. I’m ready.”

Nate made a throaty sound and his desire rolled into her mind. She hadn’t sensed their emotions since Alex’s wolf outed her. She’d been afraid Alex dissolved the link. Thrilled to realize the connection still existed, she absorbed Nate’s energy with greedy abandon.

Apparently sensing her reaction, Alex brushed the hair back from her face. “We’re still with you, hellion, and we always will be.” He pushed affection into her mind as his hand slid down her spine.

She accepted the encouragement, but wasn’t quite ready to forgive him.

Nate drove his cock into her reluctant body with steady insistency. Luna held still and allowed his penetration. Her back passage stretched, burned, and then stretched some more. She cried out softly, fighting hard not to tighten up. She wanted this and wanted it with Nate. She wanted to offer him a form of pleasure she had never shared with anyone else. Both her mates protected and provided for her, but Nate was patient and less overwhelming than Alex. He also bent to Alex’s authority more often than Luna liked. Just this one time, she wanted Nate to come first.

Nate drove deeper and the pain gradually faded. The fullness, however, was inescapable. She squirmed helplessly, unsure if she wanted to lift her hips for him or try to buck him off.

“Breathe, Luna,” Nate coached. “We’re almost there.”

Releasing her cheeks, she moved her hands to each side of her head. “I think you’re too big for this.”

“Nonsense. You’ve taken more than half already.”

Which meant almost half was still outside her body. Holy fuck, she was in serious trouble.

He gave a little thrust and she cried out.

“Did that hurt?”

“A little.”

“You can take a little pain,” he reminded.

“She likes a little pain,” Alex countered. “Get on with it.”

Nate obliged him. With two stronger thrusts, he seated the rest of his cock inside her tight back passage.

Luna moaned, feeling stuffed beyond capacity. She shifted her weight, trying to alleviate some of the pressure, but there was no escape from the intrusion. Her body would just have to adjust. Then Nate pulled back until just the broad tip of his cock was inside her.

“Your ass belongs to us now.” Nate drove his entire length inward with one sustained stroke.

She cried out, anticipating agony, but there was little pain. Nate thrust again and again, quickly finding a rhythm that aroused them both.

Alex moved to her side and spread her cheeks as Nate fucked her. “Look how wide you spread to take my beta. What a good mate you are.”
