Page 49 of Their Crowned Mate
"Neither," he announced. "I'm going to be the guy who beats you to the river."
With that, he shifted into his coyote form and bolted down the hill and into the woods.
"Hey!" I cried, hastily shifting in order to take off after him.Cheater!
I heard his laughter echoing through my mind as he continued ahead of me, swiftly disappearing into the cover of the trees.
I caught up quickly enough, pushing myself to keep up with him. It felt like we were flying, the wind blowing through my fur as we raced through the woods, chasing after each other in an exhilarating game of tag. I could feel the excitement bubbling up inside me as I ran, and I couldn't help but let out a howl.
Cole beat me to the river, and did a little victory lap before circling back to collapse next to me on the bank.
Show-off, I accused.
He snorted, leaning down to lick my cheek. I sighed as he continued to groom me, nuzzling him. I paused to look around the clearing surrounded by tall violet-and-gold trees and lush vegetation. Taking a moment to take it all in, I couldn't help but feel grateful for this moment.
Cole shifted back, and I did the same. "That was fun," he said, laughing lightly as he propped himself up on one elbow so he could look at me better.
"It was," I agreed, smiling back at him. "We should do it more often."
"You know what else we should do more often?" he asked, trailing his hand up my bare thigh.
"You mean what we did last night?" I countered, but I couldn't help but squirm.
"Hey, you were out of commission for a while. You can't blame me for wanting to make up for lost time," he teased, nipping at my throat.
I snickered. "I did enjoy watching you and the others keep each other occupied."
He grinned and leaned down to kiss me. I deepened the kiss and slipped my hands into his hair as he settled on top of me. In the early light of morning, the clearing was ethereally beautiful and undeniably romantic.
I heard a rustle in the trees and realized we weren't alone, but when I looked up to see a huge white wolf slip through the trees to my left, followed by Alexander and Marcus to my right, I relaxed.
Judging from the fact that Cole looked more irritated than alarmed, he'd sensed them before I had.
"Having fun without us?" Marcus asked in a half-heartedly accusatory tone.
"There's plenty of room," I said, patting the soft grass beside us.
"More than the bed, that's for sure," Aurelius said, shifting into his human form and wandering over along with the others. I sat up to greet them each with a kiss. I had never actually slept with all four of them at once, but I was definitely curious about what that would be like. And once the ember of that idea appeared, it became an insatiable flame of curiosity only experience could satisfy.
"Well, we're all here now," I said, giving them an inviting look. "Why don't we make the most of it?"
"I should beat you in a race more often," Cole remarked.
"You cheated," I reminded him, leaning in to peck his lips.
"How?" he challenged, wrapping his arms around my waist.
"By being faster," I said, tackling him onto his back.
He snorted, but I kissed him too hard for him to argue, and as his hands explored my body, I could tell he'd given in. That was one way to win an argument. One I should really try more often.
Alexander settled in behind me with Aurelius and Marcus in front, behind Cole's head. I leaned in to kiss Marcus as I lowered myself onto the crown of Cole's cock—he had won the race, after all—and felt Alexander's hands traveling up my body from behind. When I heard him pop the top off a bottle, I turned to find he was preparing lubricant from a small glass vial, spreading it across his fingers.
"You came prepared?" I asked, surprised.
"Always," he said in a smug tone.
I gasped as I felt his fingers slip in between my cheeks, prodding gently at my ass while I sank down fully on Cole's cock. I moaned as he breached me, rubbing the lubricant around the tight hole in slow, gentle circles.
