Chapter Nine
Ben leaned against the bathroom doorjamb as he watched his brother ram every inch of his cock into their mate. It was the most erotic thing he’d ever seen, and he wanted more than anything to rip the towel from his hips and dive into his mate again. But he knew she’d be too sore for a day, and he needed to let her heal. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt his Jenna.
Rowan tipped them to the side, still inside her cunt, and held her tightly. This was his cue, hestripped off his towel and lay down behind her. One of his hands slid around her waist before he relaxed against her.
“How’s she doing?”
Rowan cleared his throat. “Good. She’s tired, but that is to be expected.”
“Why don’t we rest for a bit and then shower?”
“She hasn’t eaten either,” Rowan told him.
“We’ll get that done.”
“Are you going to have time for all this?”
Ben nodded. “Yes. I talked to Dillion, and he’s going to let the family know about our mate and give us a few days to getto know each other. He knows to get in touch with me if it’s really important.”
“When will we mark her?” Rowan asked.
“We’ll both have to be in her. One in her cunt and the other in her ass.”
Rowan exhaled. “I want it to happen in the next few days.”
“Me, too. I don’t want to leave this place without her marked.”
They both rested against Jenna for several minutes, just absorbing the fact that the three were together, and the men would do everything to make sure she stayed happy and protected at all times.
Ben stretched. “Let’s get her clean and then feed her.”
“You got it. I’ll go start the shower, and you can bring her in.”
Ben nodded. He cupped the side of her face. “Jenna. Wake up, Pet. We want to wash you.”
She shook her head and tried to push his hand away from her, making him smile.
“Oh, no, you don’t.” He stood and lifted her into his arms. He laughed when she grumbled and tried to hit his shoulder.
Rowan turned around when they walked into the bathroom. “What’s going on?”
Ben grinned. “It seems our mate doesn’t like to be woken up,and she’s trying to push me away.”
Rowan laughed. “She’ll learn quickly that pushing us away is never an option.”
“Oh, I think she’s learning that already.”
His brother stepped into the shower and reached for Jenna. He stood her on her feet but kept a tight hold on her when she swayed.
Ben pinned her hair up with a hair tie someone had left in the apartment before reaching for a washcloth and soap. He washed every inch of her body, making Rowan turn her so he could get to her front.
When he finished, Rowan lifted her in his arms and stood off to the side, talking softly to her while he washed himself. When he finished, he took her from his brother and stepped onto the rug before reaching for a towel.
“I can stand,” she said.
“We want to make sure you’re strong enough.”
She sighed. “I am. I’ll hold onto you.”
He studied her face before setting her on her feet. “Hold onto the counter while I dry you.”
She did as he asked. When he finished with her, he wrapped another towel around his waist.
“We need to feed you, Pet,” Ben told her and lifted her again.
She rolled her eyes. “Are you ever going to let me walk on my own?”
You could hear Rowan chuckle behind them as he carried her into the closet. He set her on top of one of the dressers before reaching for one of his shirts to put on her. His eyes never left her as he secured a few of the buttons. He then caught the pair of shorts his brother tossed him and slipped them on.
“I’ll go start something,” Rowan said and walked out.
“Are you hungry, Pet?” Ben asked as he lifted her again, ignoring her snort.
“I guess a little.”
“You need to keep your strength up, and we won’t let you go without a meal.”
Her arms snaked around his neck as they walked down the hallway. “Why do I feel so good? I had a headache and a few mild pains, but they’re all gone.”
“You’ll get stronger the more we mate. When you take our cum into your body, it changes your DNA.”
“Will I become a shifter?” Jenna asked.
He shook his head. “No, but you will be stronger than the average human, and you’ll definitely live longer and age slower.”
He set her on one of the stools at the island before taking three glasses from the cupboard and juice from the refrigerator. He placed one in front of her and filled her glass. “Drink. This has a lot of vitamins in it.”
She took a sip and then looked at him in surprise. “This is good. What is it?”
“It has fruits and veggies that keep our bodies strong. Now, you’ll drink it,” Rowan said as he placed a bowl in front of her.
Ben watched her look down in surprise. Rowan had warmed up the spaghetti that one of the pack members brought them.
“Did you guys make this?” she asked.
“No. A friend did.”
She took a bite and then hummed as she chewed. “Oh, wow, this is delicious. Can I get the recipe from him?”
Ben glanced at her as he sat down on one side of her and Rowan on the other. “It was a female pack member.”
He felt her stiffen.
“What’s wrong?” he asked.
“I know it’s probably not my place, but I won’t be able to handle being around your women.”
Ben tilted her head to face him. “For one thing, we don’t have women. I can’t say we haven’t ever had sex, but you’re the only one we could ever love, and since you came into our lives, there will never be another woman. Some of the female pack members bring us meals and clean the place. If that makes you uncomfortable, we can ask them to stop.”
“Let me think about it. Okay?”
He noddedandleaned forward to kiss her lips before releasing her to eat his own meal. When they finished, all three cleaned up, which didn’t take long.
“Let’s go sit on the sofa and talk,” Ben suggested, following her into the living room.
They sat on either side of her, and each put their hands on her. One was on her thigh, and the other took her hand.
“I’m sure you probably have some questions,” Ben said.
“Yes.” She inhaled. “I assume I’ll be staying here.”
Rowan nodded. “Yes. You’ll never be without us. You’ll never spend another night alone.”
She nodded. “Can I get my things from the apartment?”
“We’ll have men go and pack up your things and bring them here,” Ben told her.
“They won’t know what’s mine,” she said.
“One of us will go with them…”
“But you won’t know either,” she murmured.
Ben squeezed her thigh. “Yes, we will. We’ll be able to tell by your scent what is yours. If we make a mistake, we’ll take it over to where they’re holding Nicole.”
Jenna nodded, but he could tell she wasn’t convinced. He knew with time, she’d know them better than anyone and vice versa. But first, they had to eliminate the threat against her.
