He rolled his hips gently, careful to not jostle the bed. I lifted my hips, encouraging him to fuck me harder. Cade shook his head.
Scowling, I dug my heels into his lower back, trying to spur him on. When that didn’t work, I opened my mouth to beg. Cade’s hand closed over my mouth, smothering my words. “Relax, baby. I know what you need.”
With steady, fluid strokes, he worked my pussy, dragging out muffled moans from me as his hand kept me quiet.
It was so different from our furious couplings all day, I felt myself relax into it, letting the euphoria of each stroke wash over me. He kept the gentle pace, like ocean waves.
My body tensed as he pushed me higher. In this relaxed state, it was so easy to tip into an orgasm that spread down to my toes. I quaked with the blinding pleasure of it.
Cade slowed and stopped, letting my inner walls pulse around him and trigger his own orgasm. He lifted his hand from my mouth, bracing himself as his forehead pressed to mine. We laid there, so close my soul feltexposed as his knot kept him in place.
Impulsively, I tipped my face up and kissed him. He tensed, and then melted into it, kissing me back.
Luca had kissed me many times throughout the day, but Cade only kissed my body. In some ways, this was our first kiss.
Reaching up, I framed his face, sliding my fingers into his hair. He urged my lips open and his tongue swept in, brushing against mine.
I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t think, as he devoured me.
When we broke apart, I turned my head.
Luca stared back at me, a smile lighting up his face. I blushed, glancing back at Cade. His brows furrowed as he eyed his other mate.
Slowly, Cade pulled out and laid down beside me. Luca reached forward and hooked his hand behind my head, dragging me closer until he could fuse our lips together.
My hand snaked down his torso, but he caught it.
“You need sleep. I’m fine. Unless you need more to satisfy your heat?” He kissed my palm.
“I’m okay,” I answered. He smiled, wrapping his arms around me and pulling me against his chest.
A moment later, Cade pressed against my back, his arms crossing over Luca’s. A contented sigh escaped me. This was what I dreamed of, what I craved with every ounce of my soul. It might be temporary, but I wasn’t going to miss a second of it.
Chapter 31
Take Backs
The haze of my heat faded, leaving me feeling exhausted and wrung out. I’d lost count how many times Luca and Cade had knotted me.
Cade’s demeanor grew clipped, and I sensed he was anxious through the bond. He’d been kind about it, but I knew he was stressed about losing two days of prep time before their mission.
He drove the truck back, and Luca sat in the passenger seat with his arms around me. I sighed and nestled my head into his shoulder.
The claim mark Cade gave me had healed to a circle of tiny scars, just like the one he wore from Luca. I was hoping for a second claim mark during my heat, but Luca never bit me. He reassured me over and over of his feelings, but I would have liked the permanent sign of his commitment.
My hand came up to my neck, and I rubbed absently. Luca kissed the top of my head.
“Feeling okay?”
I dragged my lip through my teeth. “I’m fuckingtired.”
“As long as you’re not tired of fucking,” he teased. My cheeks darkened, and I wrinkled my nose at him.
“Give her a break,” Cade growled. “When we get back, I need you to check in with everyone. See what they accomplished. I’m going to my office to check messages for any updates or changes.”
We parked, and I clutched the bag holding the remaining birth control shots. Hopefully, Elowen would help me with them, because getting Luca to help was like pulling teeth. Both men wanted me pregnant, even if it was illogical.
Luca kissed my head again before jumping out of the truck. I followed, peering around at the pack members. Lux stood on the deck with her arms crossed, and Jem peered around the corner.
