Chapter 20
DAWN
The days between meeting with the other mercenaries and heading to Reno were interminable. It was like the sword of Damocles hanging over my head, waiting to fall. I needed it to happen already, so I could finally move past it.
The guys seemed to notice and took turns keeping me entertained, helping me in the greenhouse, or sitting with me on the couch, pulling me into laps for kisses and something a little more serious.
They never moved past using their mouths and hands though, and frustration was starting to burn in my gut.
Except, it was hard to remember that as Franklin made me come again with his tongue. I buried my fingers in his hair, moaning his name. Every time I did, he hummed a sound of pleasure right on my clit.
“Franklin, please,” I murmured. “I need more.” Even as I said it, I came all over his cheeks.
He looked up at me, his golden eyes bright and his chin wet. “What do you need, sunrise?”
My cheeks flushed. “Your cock. I need to feel you inside me.”
He didn’t blink, and I’d give anything to know what was going on inside his mind. When he climbed to his feet to look down at me, wiping his chin, I wondered if I was rushing him. Had I pushed too fast? Was that why he was leaving?
He leaned forward and kissed me, something they loved to do after eating me out, like tasting myself on their mouths was some kind of badge of honor. The amount of times they could make me come was impressive.
“Okay, sweetheart. Let’s go.”
“Go?” I repeated lamely as he picked up my sweatpants and tugged them up my legs sans underwear. “Go where?”
He grinned, and it was full of mischief. “To get you your cock.” He bobbled his head from side to side. “And probably a very unsexy lecture to make sure you’re really okay with everything. Vance is like that.”
Once I was dressed, he lifted me into his arms like I weighed nothing and walked toward his door. I wrapped my legs around his waist and looped my arms around his neck. “Franklin…”
He lifted me higher, nuzzling his face into my neck like he didn’t need to see to get where he was going. Maybe he didn’t. “Yeah?” he asked, his voice low and rumbly.
“Why are we seeing Vance?”
He pulled back a little. “Because this is the first time one of us will make love to you. It’s special.
He’s your fated mate, but you’re my heart, and Talbot is…
well, Talbot. We all want this to be special for you, and what’s more special than the three men who love you worshipping your body together like you’re some kind of demi-goddess?
” He gave me a lopsided smirk. “I’ll worship at the altar between your thighs everyday if you’ll let me. ”
He strode into Vance’s office like he belonged there. He did, as Vance’s beta, but Vance happened to be in a meeting at the time. I could hear the soft, surprised sounds of the other bears, but I was too chicken to move my face from Franklin’s throat.
“Sorry! Just need to speak to the Alpha really quick,” Franklin said, and while his words might have been polite, his tone was very clearly telling them to fuck off.
Vance sighed, but it sounded more amused than annoyed. “Luckily, we are pretty much done here anyway. Send the requisition form through for the bracing fabrication, and I’ll get it taken care of.”
“Sure thing, Vance,” whoever was in the room said with a low chuckle. This was so embarrassing.
“You’ve embarrassed our girl, dumbass,” Talbot scolded once the door closed, and I moved my face to the side to see Franklin’s twin sitting on a large couch against the office wall.
“She has a need, and I have no patience,” Franklin replied by way of an excuse. He plopped me down on Vance’s desk like a gift he could just give. “Your mate craves cock, Alpha. She’s needy, aren’t you, baby?”
My cheeks were on fire, like I worried I’d permanently sear the veins. I chewed my lower lip and dropped my eyes to my lap, because this was so embarrassing. I felt Vance’s warm fingers beneath my chin.
“Is that true, mate?”
I had a mate, an honest to goddess, preordained by fate, mate. Sometimes I still couldn’t believe it, but all it took was one look in those golden eyes to know it was true, that in all the shit that had been heaped on me in my short, miserable life, fate had given me this gift—the gift of them all.
“Yes,” I whispered.
The smile he gave me made my breath hitch. “You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid eyes on, Dawn. May I kiss you?”
“I really wish you would,” I replied in a small, snippy voice. Of the three of them, Vance had been the most careful with me, the most gentle. He held me and kept me safe but never pushed for more.
He chuckled before leaning forward. He was so tall, I barely had to angle my face down to meet his lips, despite the fact that he was sitting in his office chair, and I was perched on his desk.
His lips took mine confidently, like there was no room for doubt—not for me, not for him, not for Franklin and Talbot.
He kissed me like this was fated in the stars, an inevitability.
He kissed me like I was his and he was mine.
I chased his lips with my own, but when his tongue pushed between my lips, I let him take the lead. He kissed so assertively, a jealous little part of me wondered how many women had tasted his lips like this.
As if he could sense the direction of my thoughts, he slid his hand into my hair and cupped the back of my head, holding me still as he owned me, until I panted for air and my body was hot and tight.
Finally, he pulled back, his smile filled with male satisfaction.
“Lay her out,” he told his betas, and they jumped into action.
Talbot swiped paperwork from Vance’s desk, uncaring as stationary went flying.
I only just managed to save his laptop, passing it to Franklin on the other side of me.
He was smiling with a devilish grin, like this was going exactly how he knew it would.
Talbot reached for my hips, and he slid me backwards on the desk, his fingers hooked in my sweats.
“Yes?” he asked, pausing despite the fiery desire in his eyes.
“Yes!” I answered loudly, making him chuckle.
“Eager little Omega,” he purred like he was some kind of big cat shifter. He tugged down my sweats, and Franklin pulled my oversized tee over my head. Soon enough, I was naked, lying across Vance’s desk while the Alpha gazed down at me with molten heat in his eyes.
He leaned back in his chair, his hands threading behind the back of his head, as he appreciated me like a work of art.
He lifted his chin, and that was the only indication the twins needed.
Talbot knelt at the edge of the desk and pulled me toward the edge, kissing from my ankle, up the inside of my knee, then my thigh, until I could feel the soft gusts of his breath against my leaking folds.
I was poised on the precipice of something, but then Franklin swooped in, capturing my lips with his own and catching my gasps as Talbot closed his lips over my clit.
Oh fuck. I was out of my league right now, but it felt so fucking good, there was no way I was going to stop this.
When Franklin’s lips moved to one of my nipples, sucking in time with the thrusts of Talbot’s tongue, I jerked.
It felt like there was an electrified string between them, and it was lighting my body on fire.
Too soon, I came in a gush, and Talbot’s moans of pleasure prolonged my orgasm until darkness edged my vision.
They were still fully dressed, but when Vance stood from his chair, his pants were unzipped, and the red tip of his cock was jutting out.
He was huge. “You look so beautiful spread out like this, Dawn,” he mumbled softly, stepping up to where a dazed looking Talbot knelt.
“Like you were made for me, made for us. Is this still something you want?”
“Fuck yes! Please, Vance,” I cried desperately. I didn’t have any cool left. All I had was desperation that was riding me like an addiction.
His huge hands snaked around my back, and he pulled me up into a sitting position. Vance kissed me softly, filled with gentle dominance that seemed counterintuitive but made me melt. His hands slid down my spine and slipped under my ass, lifting me higher.
“This is a gift I won’t ever take for granted, mate.
One day soon, I’ll put my bite mark on that pretty body, and I will spend the rest of my life worshipping you.
But first, I’m going to bury myself in your hot little body until we both drown in ecstasy.
” He lined his cock up, rubbing it erotically up and down my dripping slit, and my head fell back.
“Please,” I begged.
He curled his body as his cock notched at my entrance and slowly slid inside me. He was big, and he stretched me around him until my lungs burned from the air trapped within.
I wrapped my legs around his waist and dragged him to me. The aching slowness was its own form of torture. Taking the hint, he buried his length deep, and I swear, I felt him everywhere. He slowly drew out then slammed home again, and I collapsed back to the smooth, polished wood of his desk.
“You feel like a dream, Dawn. My Omega,” he growled, his thrusts perfectly even, his muscles flexing like a work of art.
“My dream. Talbot’s dream. Franklin’s dream.
You’re ours,” he crooned. “Your tight little pussy is gripping me like it knows we’re meant to be together.
” Franklin brought his mouth back to my breast, and Talbot took the other.
I buried my fingers in their hair as they nipped and sucked my nipples until I came with one long scream.
Vance wasn’t done, and when Franklin’s fingers found my clit, I knew they were going to milk one more orgasm from me before Vance would find his own release.
“Goddess, the way you grip me,” the Alpha rumbled. “You are going to undo me.”
“Yes,” I moaned, the word gasping out as he pumped inside me.
My orgasm was right there, threatening to push me over, and I needed Vance to come with me.
I needed him to paint my insides with his release.
It was a primal need, and when I pushed my Omega pheromones at him, making him groan and his hips stutter, he was helpless to resist when I crooned, “Come for me, Alpha.”
He slammed home, and I felt the hot pulses of his cum inside me even as I clenched around him with a scream, my own orgasm milking every drop of his seed from him.
He collapsed on top of me, both of us panting, his face buried just above the scar across my middle. He kissed my stomach, now empty and barren, and then looked up at me.
“We are imperfect, Dawn, but you’re perfect for us.”
I let out a choked little breath and buried my fingers in his golden hair.
“Alright, gigantor. You’ll crush her. Let’s take this to the bedroom so I can spoon our girl,” Franklin teased. “And later, maybe we can spork.”
Talbot shook his head. “You don’t get to ‘spork’ anything until you’re less lame.” He nudged Franklin out of the way and picked me up, ignoring the way Vance’s release ran down my thighs and over his arm. “Go make sure no one is in the hall, and then I’m running Dawn a bath.”
Vance smiled down at me, shaking his head at the twins’ antics. “There’s still time to run away.”
“Don’t you know not to run from predators?” I nipped his lip. “You’re mine now.”
