Soon both males were panting roughly. Straining as I rode them.
Racer growled and surged inside me. Forcing my body tighter to Vanquish as he pinned me still while he came.
Vanquish stopped all movement and held me to him.
Sighing Racer showered my shoulder in short kisses and nibbles. Dropping his forehead to the back of my neck until he caught his breath.
"Are you okay, Vanna Rae?" Racer asked softly. Remorse in his voice.
"I'm okay." I murmured into Vanquish's shoulder.
But my whole body was hurting already. I was unsure how I was going to survive this Mating Moon.
"I need her." Hunter's voice was ragged, and he was starting to approach.
"Not yet." Vanquish lifted his hand at my back to stop him.
"Let us finish here and she'll be all yours while Racer and I find her something to eat."
"She needs sustenance." Racer agreed.
"Okay." Hunter sounded mournful. But I saw the promise of having me to himself brighten his eyes.
"He'll wait." Vanquish assured near my ear.
I turned my face up to his. Blonde hair sweeping his shoulder in wild strands down to his elbow. I turned my lips up to his ear. "How do you know."
"Cause I'd wait any period of time to have a moment alone with you."
"Everything hurts."
"What do you want me to do." I could feel the tension in his body. His fingertips biting into my legs in his anxiousness for my answer. I knew he'd do whatever I asked him in that moment.
Even if it kills him to do so.
His control was tightly wound. He'd not been lying earlier. He
was by far the most controlled of the bunch.
"Slow. Gentle. Please." I pleaded.
He nodded once and guided me to the bed. Setting me down gently and for the first time Vanquish was truly tender. He swept my hair back from my forehead as he massaged into me.
The aches seemed to be washed away by the ripples of pleasure winding through my body. He kissed my forehead and each of my eyelids while he made love to me. In moments I saw his chest and abdomen tightening in a way that told me he was close.
He gave a short roar of pleasure as he tilted his
head back. Exposing the cords in his brown throat.
And I realized his vulnerability. In his moment of pleasure, I could've torn out his throat without him ever reacting. And I realized this strange power I had in my ability to pleasure him. To take him off guard into this state of bliss. Even the tough Vanquish himself was susceptible to me.
An interesting thought. Strange that in my vulnerability to them I would find my power.
He slumped against me. His sweaty cheek to my breast. Enveloping me with his earthen masculine scent. Smelling like trees and rain and something wilder.
All male.
All mine.

"Van, I swear if you don't keep your promise, I'm going to toss you off her like baggage." Hunter growled. His voice ragged.
Van turned his head to look at him and groaning he climbed off me. Slipping out. He met Racer, who was already dressed leaning next to the door.
"Some bit of romance that was." Racer slapped his back mockingly. "Let's get her a bit to eat so we can get back to her."
They headed out the door.
Vanquish tossing a last lingering glance over his shoulder.
"Come here, She-wolf." Hunter's husky voice rose from where
he sat on the floor next to the wooden chair.
I rose unsteadily and walked to him on hesitant feet.
Bare feet padding his way. Once to him he caught the back of one curved calf and guided it over his leg to straddle his hip. Then the other. Until I stood over him.
His chin nearly propped on my pelvis as he caressed the back of my legs staring up at me.
"What?"
"Just looking at you."
"What do you see, Hunter?"
"An extraordinary, beautiful, kind woman. But I'm waiting for you to let go and be free with us. There's no more reason to hide anymore. We'll always look after you."
I understood his words but wasn't sure I knew exactly what it meant. I couldn't imagine feeling safe.
I'd feared everything. Starvation, isolation, then the pack seeing me, then them.
He caught my hips and pulled me down over his lap.
I felt his hard length beneath me, but he seemed more intent on staring at me. Petting hair
back from my face to tuck behind my ears.
He kissed my mouth with such tenderness it made my chest tighten. His tongue met mine in a wild dance that sent warmth pouring through me.
