Epilogue #3
He doesn’t shift immediately, though. He stalks closer and puts his snout to my neck, snuffling at my skin.
His rough tongue comes out, and he licks the sweat off my shoulder, moving to my back, then surprises me by jumping onto me.
His weight tips me off-balance, and I sprawl on the forest floor, leaves and grass breaking my fall.
“Oh!”
I try to push myself off the ground, but Sebastian puts his front paws on my shoulders and won’t let me. Instead, he nuzzles my neck again and licks my skin, right over Troy’s mating bite. Pleasure shivers through me, and somewhere in the forest, a wolf howls, answering my body’s call.
“Sebastian,” I whisper. “Let me up.”
He makes a huffing sound but doesn’t move. He can’t communicate with me directly, but I interpret that huff to mean, “Deal with it, human.”
It seems that I’m Sebastian’s prize because he was the first to catch me.
From the corner of my eye, I sense movement, so I turn my head to peer in that direction.
Troy emerges from the trees, magnificent in his full wolf form.
Did they all shift to track me? I search for Carter from my limited vantage point, and sure enough, there he is, a black shape stalking from the shadows, inspecting his pack mate’s prey.
Because that’s what I am. I put myself in this position, running from them, goading them to catch me.
I tempted the wolves, and now I’ll have to pay.
A groan, and Sebastian shifts to his half form behind me. His clawed hands roam my back, then he grabs my waist and pulls my ass up from the ground. “Emma.”
I gasp, realizing he means to have me right here. “Wait. I have blankets and snacks, they’re not far from—”
Carter shifts as well, crouching in front of me where I’m still face down in the leaves. He brushes my hair from my face and smiles. “You thought you could run from us, wife? And that we’d play by your rules?”
My body goes soft at his growling voice. Maybe I’m weird for loving this, but I married my guys because I love every aspect of them, including this possessive side.
“N-no,” I breathe. “I just wanted to give you—ah—give you something fun…”
My voice rises with each word as Sebastian palms my ass with his big hands, running his fingers under the hem of my shorts.
“Need you,” he growls.
O-kay. I guess we’re not moving over to the pretty setup on the clearing.
I’m hot all over, half from the running but mostly from anticipation.
I wiggle, trying to figure out how to get out of my clothes while Sebastian still has me pinned to the ground, but he claws at the waistband of my shorts and rends them clear down the middle.
A chorus of groans reverberates around me.
“You’re wet.” Sebastian’s words are short, choppy, like he’s barely holding himself back. He’s the sweetest of my mates, but right now, he holds me like he might never let me go.
“Do you hear how much he wants you?” Carter purrs, stroking the pad of his thumb over my lower lip. “He wants to stuff your pussy full of his hard cock and give you all his cum. Because you were good, weren’t you, Emma?”
I manage to lift myself on my elbows for a glimpse of him and Troy. “I was?”
Troy kneels next to Carter, his big cock straining up between his legs. “You took off your charm. Are you sure, honey?”
I swallow down the emotions that threaten to spill over at his gentle question. He’s trembling from having to hold back, but he’s still putting me first.
Behind me, Sebastian runs his knuckles over his bite mark on the inside of my thigh, sending a shiver of sensation through me. He groans because he must feel the same tug I do, the need building between us. Then he dips his fingers between my legs and enters my pussy, stretching out my wet flesh.
Finally, I glance at Carter, who’s staring at me intently, his dark gaze fixed on me. He’s taken such good care of all of us. He helped me through my studies, supported Sebastian when he had another brilliant exhibition, and comforted Troy whenever the nightmares of his old life surfaced again.
“I’m sure,” I tell them. “I’ve never been more certain of anything in my life.”
I’ve given this a lot of thought. I’m mere months away from finishing my degree, and there’s no guarantee I’ll get pregnant in this cycle, but I’m so ready to start trying.
I want this. I’ve wanted babies for as long as I could remember, little ones to love and protect.
I have a family to help me raise them, and I know we’ll never be alone.
“I love you,” Sebastian chokes out. He pulls his fingers from my pussy and notches the head of his cock against my pussy lips. “I’ll give you all my cum, baby, but I can’t go slow.”
I push my ass back, bearing down on his length. “Then don’t. I want this.”
He curls his big body over me and clamps his jaw lightly on my shoulder, pinning me in place.
He slides deeper inside me, my slickness easing the way.
I’ve been thinking about this for hours, plotting my escape and imagining their reactions, so my body is ready—though I never thought they’d be this affected by my little plan.
“Take his knot,” Carter coaxes me. “Relax for him, Emma.”
With quick tugs of his claws, he shreds my tank top, leaving me completely naked in the night. Then he reaches under my body and plucks at my nipple, squeezing and kneading, sending delicious sensations straight to my core.
As Sebastian’s knot nudges my pussy lips, I let out a strangled laugh. “I’m glad I changed out of my wedding dress. You guys are bad for my wardrobe.”
Carter growls low in his throat. “You teased us like this, and still you’re running that smart mouth of yours. What did you think would happen, Emma, if you toyed with us like that?”
His voice is silky, but his eyes blaze with heat, and I know he must have been worried, if only for a moment, that I had run away for real.
Sebastian must have felt it, too. He pulls almost all the way out of me, then slams back in, jostling my body. His snarls match his frantic pace, and I brace myself on the ground, spreading my knees wider for him. If he needs my full surrender, I’ll give it to him.
“I’m sorry.” My breath catches. Sebastian fills me again, his knot nudging my pussy. “How can I make it up to you?”
“You can take Troy’s cock into your mouth,” Carter commands. “But you can’t get him off. We’re not wasting a drop of cum tonight.”
My pussy instinctively clenches at his words, and Sebastian lets out a strangled groan.
If they’re not wasting any cum, that means they’ll be putting all of it inside my pussy, trying to get me pregnant as fast as possible.
The thought loosens something inside me, the last barrier in my mind.
My body softens. I open my mouth for Troy.
He slides his cockhead past my lips, shuffling closer to reach me better, and at that moment, Sebastian’s knot slips in, filling me completely.
My orgasm takes me by surprise. I didn’t think having Sebastian’s knot pulsing inside me would be enough, but it presses against my inner walls so perfectly, it shoves me over the edge.
I moan around Troy’s cock as my entire body clenches.
Sebastian snarls, then shudders, emptying himself in me, hot cum splashing deep.
He rocks his hips in small nudges, wringing out my pleasure, and draws his rough tongue over Carter’s bite mark on my neck.
Our alpha curses, fisting his cock and squeezing just under the head as if even this small, teasing touch through our connection is too much for him.
He hasn’t demanded anything from me yet for himself, even though he’s just as hot for me as Troy and Sebastian—I can feel it through the throbbing of the ring on my finger.
This new bond is way cooler than I could have imagined, and I can already tell we’ll have fun with it.
Troy holds himself very still, breathing through his nose.
When I look up at him, my heart stutters—he’s staring at me like I’m everything, his focus unbreaking.
Slowly, I release his cock from my mouth, and a line of spit and precum connects my lips to his cockhead before I lick it clean with small flicks of my tongue.
His growl starts as a low, menacing sound, then grows louder. I’ve never heard him this unhinged before, not even during the many full moons we’ve now enjoyed together—and I think I know why.
“I need you,” I tell him, gazing up at his glowing golden eyes. “I won’t tease you anymore, I promise.”
He palms my face, his clawed hand impossibly tender despite his size and the tension of his body.
Then he parts my lips with his thumb, and I suck on it instead, eagerly licking the pad.
The claw pricks my tongue, and I gasp, the sharp pain contrasting so beautifully with the pleasure of having Sebastian still in my pussy.
“I can’t make it go away!” Sebastian moans behind me and curls his big body over mine. “You feel so good, baby, but I need you to release me so they can have you, too.”
I didn’t even realize I was clenching so hard around Sebastian’s cock. But when I try to relax, all I achieve is another wave of pleasure when my inner muscles ripple around his knot. He whines, hips thrusting forward. I close my eyes as another climax builds in my belly.
Then Carter is there, reaching for Sebastian and kissing him deeply. I half turn, supporting myself on one hand, to see what’s going on.
Carter takes Sebastian’s face between his hands and stares down at him, expression serious. “Do you have more cum to give our mate? Is that why you can’t release?”
Sebastian nods frantically. “So much more, Alpha, but I don’t want to be greedy, I don’t—”
Carter shuts him up with another kiss, then stands behind Sebastian and puts one palm on his back. “Make her come again.”
Sebastian meets my gaze, his eyes wide, almost frantic with need. “Can you go again, baby?” he breathes, reaching under my body to brush his fingertips over my clit. “I need you so much.”
