Page 57 of Their Shared Mate
Claire sighed. “It all sounds wonderful, but I’m just not ready yet.”
Raphael stared at her for a long, silent moment then decided, “You’re ready, or more accurately, you’re as ready as you’ll ever be.”
Victor nodded. “The only way to overcome your fear is to prove that we’re worthy of your trust.”
“And that means I need to trust you,” she realized with a sigh.
“Don’t sound so discouraged.” Raphael smiled and stroked the side of her face. “One of your mates just happens to have more control over psychic links than most people. I can offer you a grace period most females do not enjoy.”
“What do you mean?”
“If you allow the mating bond, but decide that we are not good mates, I can still release it for a month, perhaps two.”
“It will hurt like hell,” Victor warned. “But Raphael’s gifts are unusual.”
She looked at one and then the other, heart thudding wildly in her chest. Could she do it? Was she brave enough to trust them? She closed her eyes, needing a moment away from their physical appeal. They’d done nothing to warrant her mistrust. They’d kept every promise and told her the truth. She was a fool if she let this opportunity pass by because her life on Earth had made her suspicious.
“What do I need to do?” she asked as she opened her eyes.
“This will require a show of submission unlike any you’ve offered before,” Raphael told her.
Her pulse sped and her nipples tingled, but she wasn’t sure if fear or excitement triggered the sensations. “What does one have to do with the other?”
Raphael chuckled and reached for her hand. “The complexity of the link depends on my level of control, and my control depends on your willingness to surrender.”
Claire sucked in a shaky breath. “You’re going to fuck me together. Is that what you mean?”
“Yes,” Victor said firmly. “We’ve been patient, mate. The soul bond can be anchored gradually, but we need this joining. Are you ready to take us both at the same time?”
She flexed her bottom cheeks and groaned. “It would have been easier before I was punished.”
Raphael rocked onto his knees and pulled her onto hers, then he fisted the back of her hair. “Offer us your pain and we will inundate your entire body with pleasure.”
She shivered, knowing this was a crossroads she could not avoid. If she refused them now, their union would fail. They werecompromising and now she needed to surrender. “My body and my mind belong to you. I trust you not to take advantage of my vulnerability. You are my mates, and I know you would never harm me.”
Raphael sealed his mouth over hers, kissing her deeply as his raw emotions poured into her mind.I love you, Claire. More than I ever dreamed possible. Give us this chance and we will prove worthy of your trust.
She smiled as his lips released hers. “I love you too, and I can’t imagine anything that would change my mind.”
Victor stroked the side of her face and Raphael eased his grip just enough so she could turn her head. “I’ve loved you since the first day I saw you. I knew even then that you were meant for us. I know Rydaria is strange and being shared is frightening, but we want nothing more than to make you happy.”
She placed her hands on his shoulders and kissed his mouth, offering her emotions as eagerly as her kiss. “Being shared doesn’t frighten me anymore, as long as I’m being shared by you two.”
Victor moved to the center of the bed and lay down. “Come, mate. Take me deep into your soft, wet pussy.”
Claire straddled Victor’s hips and guided his cock to her opening. She was wet from before and from the knowledge that they were about to fully share her for the first time. Bracing her hands against his broad chest, she lowered herself over his shaft, descending slowly until her folds pressed against his pelvis.
Raphael moved behind her and urged her forward over Victor’s chest. “The redness has nearly faded, but I’m sure you’re still sore. I’ll use lots of lube.”
“I don’t mind if it hurts,” she confessed. “I come harder when you throw in a little pain.”
Victor chuckled. “If there was ever any doubt that she was our mate, she just proved it.”
Raphael parted her cheeks and drizzled cool gel onto her tender pucker. He smeared the lubricant around then worked it inside her with his long middle finger. “Here we go, mate. Stay nice and relaxed.”
Claire drew in a slow, deep breath as Raphael pushed into her bottom. She accepted the sting, letting the sensations roll across her nerve endings. He drove deeper and deeper until she’d taken his entire length, and then he pulled her up so they could stroke the front of her body.
Raphael caressed her breasts, squeezing the soft mounds and rolling the sensitive nipples. Victor slipped his hand between their bodies and located her clit. With a few skillful strokes, he had her gasping and squirming as her senses came alive.
