She arched into his touch, drawing on the pleasure of his fingers and hands.He pinched her nipple and thrust into her pussy, gripped her breast and stroked her G-spot.It all joined and coalesced, building within her as it grew and grew.
“He’s fucking me, Keller.Do you know how wet I am?I can’t wait for you both to fuck me, claim me.”Madden slammed in and out of her heat with bruising speed.“Is this how you’ll fuck me?”
She panted and moaned, fighting for her release, gobbling up every morsel of pleasure Madden handed over.
The wet sounds of the wolf’s thrust and retreat surrounded them, her scorching musk adding to the air.She knew the other wolves could hear and smell what they were doing, but she only had eyes for her self-restrained mate.
Scarlet was so close to coming, racing toward the edge of release.The pleasure built, growing and expanding to fill her from top to bottom.It crept into her toes, taking over her muscles, and she arched.Control was no longer hers, stolen by Madden’s ministrations until all she could do was feel.
“Need… Wanna…” She sobbed, stared at Keller and saw when the moment of indecision shattered.
Keller leaned forward and fisted her hair.His fingers slid through the strands and jerked her head toward him.He snarled, baring his fangs.She’d broken his hardened shell.“Come.”
He pressed their mouths together, shoving his tongue deep into her.They tangled, yet he dominated their coming together.He forced her to his will and she eagerly followed, reveling in her triumph.
The bliss that had been gathering blew, bursting into a million sparkling fireworks.The bright lights glowed behind her eyelids.She came with a blinding rush, muscles spasming, tensing and tightening until her chest stilled.
She couldn’t breathe, couldn’t think beyond the two men bracketing her.She was surrounded, encased in her mates.She trembled within Madden’s embrace, let Keller draw her into him, and her orgasm kept racing through her veins.
The infinite bliss racked her, tore her apart from inside out, and she sobbed against her mate’s mouth.
Distantly she heard growls and snarls, the sounds breaking through her pleasure-induced haze.Suddenly her men were gone.They’d built an impenetrable wall between her and whoever had invaded their space, their bliss.
She hoped they ripped the intruders into a billion pieces.
Unsteadily, she pushed to standing, catching herself on the chair as she rose.On wobbly feet, she peeked around the bodies.Garron and Quentin were being held back by a guard, the row of strips on his sleeve indicating that he was the Captain.
Her mates met the danger with rolling growls, but the other two wolves didn’t appear threatened.
No, Garron opened his mouth and yelled into the tense space.“We call right of challenge!We challenge the Ruling Alphas!”
Scarlet gasped.No.Not only were her mates being challenged, but… Her mates were the Ruling Alphas?No.No, no, no.She was not the right girl for the job.Ever.Never ever, even.
But it was too late.A low exclamation of “witnessed” came from the other side of the restaurant.The word dashed her hopes that her mates, her Ruling Alphas, could get out of the situation without a fight.
Keller sighed, and she knew what he’d say before the word left his mouth.Part of her wanted to silence him, slap her hand over his lips so he couldn’t say a word.But the challenge had been witnessed, and it had to go on.
“Accepted.”
ChapterFive
“Only you,” Gabby grumped.“Only you would come to our first Gathering and, without realizing it, snag the Ruling Alphas.”
“You knew?Why didn’t you tell me so I didn’t make an ass of myself?”Scarlet glared at her sister.
“Because it was fun.”Gabby stuck out her tongue.“And, amazingly enough, if you’d listened to me at any point before this moment, you would have known about them, too.Funny how that works.”Gabby glared back at her, and Scarlet realized that her sister was right.Damn it.“Anyway.Then,you’d be the only one whose Alphas were challenged for rankandmate.”Gabs huffed.“Have they decided to let you keep the cat or is he going to be a snack?”
She wanted to laugh.Almost.Burger would shred them before becoming dinner.He was a fierce little feline.
But her belly churned, nerves rolling and rumbling in her stomach as she watched the clock tick toward eight.Her mates had retreated to their rooms to prepare, requiring solitude while they got ready for the fight to come.A fight to the death.
She’d been sad to see them go, stride off to seclusion, but had understood.Since their mating was incomplete, the guys wouldn’t be able to focus on the coming fight with her hanging around.They’d be too concerned with how they could finagle her into bed.And, being the Ruling Alphas, strongest of the wolves across the nation, their need to mate was more pressing than most.
But suddenly, Gabby’s words interrupted Scarlet’s thoughts.
Scarlet froze for a moment and focused on her sister.“Wait.Challenge for mate?Can they do that?”
Gabby rolled her eyes.“Duh.Have you been listening?”
