“Yes, good girl,” Luca growled.
Cade gave me one last lick and then stretched out beside us. His hand absently stroked his semi-hard dick as he smirked. “I know she’s a good girl, but what about me?”
Luca propped himself up on one elbow and laughed hoarsely. “You’re a very good boy.”
I couldn’t help my giggle, which sent a ripple of tension through Luca as my hold on his cock tightened.
Cade rolled his eyes. “I’m going to fuck you senseless as soon as we’re done with this heat.”
“I dare you,” Luca said, his fingers flexing and digging into my skin.
“Hey, so how long is this supposed to last?” I asked, my voice high.
Both men hesitated. Finally, Luca answered, “Two or three days. But this is probably the worst of it.”
I flinched. “I’m sorry if this messed up your plansfor the mission.”
Cade sighed. “We don’t have long between this and the planned mission. But it’s probably for the best that we bonded. I did feel like shit.”
“You could have just accepted her a week ago,” Luca muttered.
Cade went stiff. His gaze narrowed. “Just because I’ve taken her as my mate doesn’t mean we’re going to be a big happy family. I still don’t trust her.”
The words felt like a slap. He had been smiling and licking my cunt less than five minutes ago. For fuck’s sake, he had marked me.
Anger curled in my gut, heating me in a whole different way. Having Luca stuck inside of me wasn’t ideal for a fight, but I couldn’t help myself.
“I’ll never be good enough for you, will I? I’ll just be your dirty little fuck toy you lock away. Is that your plan?” I snarled.
Cade’s lips drew back, showing elongated canine teeth.
“Hey!” Luca said, putting authority into his tone. “Cade, that was low. Summer, calm down.”
A low growl sounded, and I realized it was coming from me.
“Here’s what we’re going to do. Cade, you’re going to shut that pretty mouth and put it to better use until we’re done with Summer’s heat. That’ll give you time to rethink that supremely stupid thing you just said.”
I grinned viciously, ready to rub salt in the wound as Cade sneered.
“And Summer, you’re going to just relax and let us fuck you every way we can think of until you’re done with this heat. Don’t antagonize him. He’s not himself when he’s rutting. He doesn’t have the same self-control.”
“He seems pretty normal to me,” I snarled.
Luca slipped out of me and pulled away. I fell onto my back, and Luca loomed above me. His hand collared my neck.
“You are going to be a good, submissive little mate and not piss off your Alpha. If you want to fight, save it for when we leave the cabin. Understood?”
Rage built in my chest. How dare he?
Luca leaned down. “If you keep starting fights, I will fuck that mouth until you learn your lesson.”
“I’ll bite you,” I managed to say.
“I hope so,” Luca said, smirking. “I want you to mark me, and I’m going to claim you too, as soon as your first one heals.” His eyes flicked to my shoulder, inches from his hand.
“Can you control yourself?” he asked.
I nodded.
