Mail-Order Bride [Taos Wolven Mates] (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour) Page 10

Lorcan held up his hand. “Do not answer until you hear what it is we will do.” At her nod, Lorcan continued. “We must complete our union together.” He paused. “All of us…at the same time. Meaning Tarin or I will take your ass and the other will fuck your pussy.”

  Dana thrust a trembling hand through her hair. Here it was, a declaration, a request to do what she’d wanted all along and she didn’t even have to ask for it. “When?”

  “Well, the sooner the better. Once we are tied to each other, we will all be connected. You will be able to talk to us in our minds as we will be able to do the same with you.”

  “Talk in our minds?” It was so fantastic. Dare she believe they told her the truth?

  Dana looked at them both in turn. That would explain the strange way they seemed to communicate without speaking. “Can you two already do this?”

  “Yes,” Tarin said with a nod. “We have been speaking to each other in our minds since we were young. Most of us share a common ancestry and can speak to one another. The only ones who can’t are elitists. They will not mix their blood with anyone but another pureblood, or their true mate if their mate is also wolven. But even they can speak to each other, which tells us they are not all pure. The telepathic talent had to come from somewhere.”

  “And if their mate isn’t a pure blood?”

  “They will kill her as an abomination all the while lecturing others about bloodlines and purity.”

  Dana felt faint at Lorcan’s words. What would have happened had Kalb found her first and deemed her his mate instead? Was Amelie his mate and that was why he attempted to kill her?

  Reaching up, Dana rubbed her temples. “I’m getting a headache.”

  “I would have one as well if I had to accept all you have accepted today.” Tarin smiled at her and rested his hand on her knee.

  Dana wasn’t sure she was ready for the contact. After all, they had just told her that she’d been making love to werewolves for the past few days. She wasn’t sure she would ever get over that one.

  Chapter Sixteen

  “I can’t believe that I have been…with you all of this time and you’re just telling me this now.”

  Tarin raked his hand through his hair then scrubbed his face with his hands. What was he supposed to say? They had deceived her. “I know, baby. Even though we knew you would have a difficult time accepting it, we should have told you straight from the beginning, but we were afraid.”

  Dana laughed. “Now that I don’t believe.” She shook her head and glared at them both. I’m very upset with you two, and I’m very disappointed. I grew to trust you and now look at us. That trust is broken.”

  “You’re right,” Lorcan agreed, his expression grim. “We broke trust with you, and we wouldn’t blame you a bit if you couldn’t forgive us, but we ask that you do.”

  Standing again, Dana paced the room. “How can I trust you again? More importantly, why should I trust you again?”

  “Only you can answer those questions, Dana.” Lorcan straightened and motioned to Tarin. “We’ll leave you alone, this night, and you can make up your mind alone.”

  Standing, Tarin moved to join his lifelong friend. “Let us know what you decide, Dana.”

  They were a few steps from the door when Dana called out, “I thought you said that you would die without me.”

  “We will,” he said, turning back to face her.

  “Then why are you leaving? Why don’t you just take what you want from me?”

  “Because,” Lorcan said as he turned to face her. “That would make us no better than the monsters you think us.”

  “You’re right.” She sighed and pushed the hair back from her face. “It’s just that this is all so overwhelming. I don’t know what to think anymore.”

  “That’s why we’re leaving you to think.”

  Again they turned to go. Tarin was halfway through the door when he heard her soft plea, let out on a forlorn exhale. “Don’t—don’t leave.”

  Turning around he saw her on her knees, begging them to stay. Scowling, he turned with a growl and stalked back to her. Reaching down, he grasped her arms and lifted her to her feet.

  “Don’t ever let me see you on your knees begging ever again.” Without warning, he grabbed the back of her head and slanted his mouth over hers.

  This was his woman, his mate, and he’d be damned if he would ever see her on her knees begging for anything. He lifted his head to stare down into her beautiful green eyes.

  Desire swirled in their depths and something else, regret, remorse? Whatever it was, she had no business feeling anything but contempt for their duplicity. They were all victims of the condition of the wolven’s pathetic gene pool, but Dana was more victim than he. He and Lorcan had made her their victim as well.

  “Don’t feel sorry for us.” He growled against her lips. “Don’t forgive us, we don’t deserve it.”

  Once again, he lowered his head to hers and covered her lips. “We brought you here then lied to you.”

  “No you didn’t, Tarin. You just didn’t tell me.”

  “It’s still a lie,” Lorcan said from his right. “A lie of omission is still just a lie.”

  Tarin wrapped his arms around her when her legs would have given out. Lifting her in his arms, he carried her to their bed and placed her on the soft surface. “I want to stay, Dana. Remember that while you’re thinking about whether or not to forgive us.”

  “No.” She shook her head. “I have no reason to think about it.” She crossed her arms and stared at him, her face unreadable.

  So that was how it would be. He sighed. Since he and Lorcan were already mated to her, they would live the rest of their lives never knowing what it was like to be truly connected to the one they loved. Without the last bonding, Dana was still emotionally free and, therefore, could do as she wished.

  He and Lorcan, on the other hand, were doomed to a half life. Already bound to one woman, they could never bind themselves to another. It was just too damned bad they had screwed this up so much, that she hated them.

  Tarin actually felt pain in the center of his chest. It didn’t matter that he would never make love with another woman because without Dana, there would be no excitement. It also didn’t matter that he would live his life half in some sort of strange limbo. All that mattered was what Dana thought of him. If she could remember him kindly, at least he might be able to sleep at night. He didn’t care about the other things. He just wanted Dana happy. That was all that mattered.

  With a growl, Lorcan grabbed her away from him and pulled her into his arms. He palmed the back of her head with a groan, “I’m sorry, baby. I know you hate us now, but we felt it was necessary.”

  How could she ever forgive them and how could they ever ask her to? They kidnapped her, lied to her, and tomorrow, her life would be in danger. It was easy to make the decision to bring her here when they didn’t know her. Now that they did, it was killing him to know that her life could be forfeit just because she existed.

  He thought of the other two women and closed his eyes. What had he done? Perhaps it would have been better to have mated her and stayed on Earth while they sent others from their group back to Taos with their report.

  Instead they snatched the three women as though they had every right to do so then began their journey back to Taos with them to prove there was a viable option for their people, one that included more than extinction. Tomorrow their journey would end. He just hoped that Dana’s life didn’t end then as well.

  * * * *

  Lorcan pulled back and stared deep into Dana’s eyes. He couldn’t believe she allowed him to hold her after their confession. They had hoped they could bind her to them using sex, and apparently they had, but he had never planned to fall so inexplicably in love with her.

  Did they want her? Yes, but they wanted her to want them as well. They wanted her to love them as much as they had come to love her. When they headed out to find a mate, love never entered the equation.


  They knew they needed mates to survive and they knew that their people must have them or perish, but he never once thought that his heart would be so involved.

  How did it happen? It was as though one minute he was his own man, with his own agenda and the next he was hers. Something like that just didn’t compute for a man like the one he had been before he lost his heart to Dana.

  It was as though she had somehow crawled into him and taken up residence in his soul. He stared down into her emerald eyes and wondered just when he had lost his heart to her.

  Was it some kind of strange magic? He had seen it before. Some humans had the ability to move things with their minds or to conjure up something from nothing. How did this one beautiful woman turn two male Taos warriors into mewling babes at the thought of losing her?

  Shaking his head, he drew her close again, molding her soft body against his. He inhaled deeply, loving her scent and regretting every mile they had brought her against her will.

  “I love you, Dana, more than my life. I love you more than I ever thought possible.”

  “As do I,” Tarin interjected. He moved to her back and wrapped her in his embrace. “I don’t know how or when it happened, but you’re here inside me, inside my heart when I thought I had lost it years ago in war.”

  Lorcan’s throat burned and blinked rapidly. Falling in love had brought back his ability to feel, to love, and it also brought back something else he had lost long ago.

  His conscience.

  Chapter Seventeen

  Dana stood, held within their warm embrace. She didn’t care what happened on the morrow. Like Juliet in her story of love and pain. She was nothing without her men, and had her uncle sold her to some horrible man, she would have ended her life.

  In her mind, the last several days on this ship with her lovers had been borrowed time for her. If she died tomorrow, she would die happy knowing that these two men loved her, that they weren’t just using her to get what they wanted.

  Swallowing thickly, she stared back into Lorcan’s eyes. “I love you and Tarin, too. I think I have from almost the beginning.” She bit her lip and closed her eyes. “Was there anything else you must tell me of the final bonding before we begin?”

  She sighed with relief when they both stiffened against her. Both their bodies and their cocks reacted to her question, which gave her a feeling of feminine power she never thought to possess.

  Tarin grasped her hips, pulling her back against him. He ground his hips against hers. No matter what they said about themselves, no matter what they could do with their bodies or how impossible it seemed, she still found them so compelling she couldn’t refuse them anything. Truth was, she wasn’t sure she wanted to refuse them. How could she when she loved them so much?

  Somehow she knew that everything would be all right. There couldn’t be enough people on their planet to overcome her men and those like them. Didn’t they tell her they were taking her and the other women back to prove that Earth had viable mates?

  If the government sanctioned their trip, there couldn’t be enough fanatics to get to her or the other two without a fight, could there?

  All rational thoughts flew from her head when they both pressed their mouths against her neck just below her ears. Suckling gently, they breathed into her ears and her legs almost gave out.

  Whimpering, Dana snaked her arms around Lorcan’s neck, pulling him tighter against her. She ground her hips into the ridged line of his erection and he groaned.

  “Don’t do that, baby. I won’t be able to leave.”

  “I don’t want you to leave. I want you both to stay right here. This is our last night aboard the ship.” She sighed, not wanting to voice what she would say next, but knew it must be done. “Something bad could happen tomorrow, and I want this one last night if it does. I want you both together the way you promised. I want to know what it feels like to have one of you in my pussy and the other in my ass. I also want to know what it is like to truly be your mate.”

  She knew she would never wholly be their mate unless they completed the final bonding, and she wanted to know exactly what it was like to irrevocably belong to these men.

  “It will change you, love.” Lorcan pressed a gentle kiss to her lips as Tarn continued to suckle and lave her ear. “You will become like us. Is that acceptable to you?”

  Dana swallowed thickly. She hadn’t considered that. Not once had she dreamed that finalizing their bond would make her like them. Taking a deep breath, she nodded. What difference did it make? She loved them as she never thought possible, and she wanted to be with them, now she could be with them in every form they could take.

  As her uncle once said while talking to a boasting miner, talk was cheap. Perhaps it was time to show them what she wanted. Sliding down the length of him, she examined every muscle, every ridge of his bare chest and taut stomach.

  She couldn’t wait to have the taste of him on her tongue, to smell the musky heat of him as she wrapped her lips around the huge erection she felt pressed so tightly against her stomach just a moment before.

  Lorcan wasted no time in shedding the loose, black pants. They fell around his ankles as she cupped his sac in one hand and circled his shaft with the other.

  Tilting her head back, Dana bit her lower lip and watched as his eyes darkened with desire. These last days on the ship had shown her what real power was. Never would she ever feel weak as long as she could bring her men to heel with just a look or a flick of her tongue.

  With a smile, she licked the moisture from the tip of his dripping cock. She savored the salty taste as he groaned and thrust his hips forward. Opening her mouth wide, she took the large head into her mouth, pressing lower until she took as much of him as she could into her mouth, her hand still wrapped around the base.

  She loved the way he threw his head back and groaned. She wanted to feel his fingers in her hair, pulling her closer. Most of all, she wanted to feel them both inside her, completing their bond so she would be theirs, once and for all.

  Dana heard Tarin remove his pants, the material hitting the floor behind her. With one last, long draw and a final flick of her tongue, Dana released Lorcan and turned to her other love. Tarin stood looking down at her, his cock held tight in his hand as he stroked the long shaft.

  Without hesitation, Dana moved to him, pulled his hips closer and took him into her mouth as far as she could. Like Lorcan, Tarin was a big man in more than one way. He continued to hold the base of his cock in his fist as she sucked the head into her mouth and tongued the dripping slit.

  After a moment, Lorcan grasped her beneath the shoulders and lifted her away. Turning her in his arms, he lowered his head to hers and took her mouth in a ruthless kiss. It was no gentle merging of the lips. His kiss was one of right, of possession. It screamed “you are mine and no one will ever change that.”

  With a groan, Dana opened for him, allowing his tongue entrance to the hidden recesses of her mouth. Tarin stepped up behind her and wrapped his arms around her, his fingers pulling and plucking at her nipples from behind.

  Lorcan deepened the kiss at her moan, his kiss becoming more urgent as he pressed his body against hers. Breaking their kiss, his lips trailed over her jaw and down her neck to suckle on her collarbone.

  Tarin’s hands left her breasts to unzip her jumpsuit and peel it from her quivering body. His fingers left trails of fire in their wake as he moved down with the jumpsuit, picking up her feet one at a time to remove the clothing out of the way.

  Gently, he kissed each foot, each ankle and behind her knees on the way back up. If he wasn’t careful, they may have to pick her up off the floor in a bucket because she was certain she would melt away to nothing.

  When her knees buckled again, Lorcan caught her and swung her up into his arms. Carrying her to the bed, he set her down and they both stood staring at her for a moment. She felt her body heat as they continued to stare at her nakedness.

  “You’re so beautiful, bacchi,” Ta
rin said as he moved to sit next to her on the bed. He trailed a finger from her collarbone, over her breast and down to the curls at the apex of her thighs. “I love the way you get goose bumps when I do that.” He grinned then cupped her nether flesh, his fingers delving between her pussy lips to circle her clit.

  “What does bacchi mean?” Dana barely got the question out as he continued to explore her moist slit with his fingers. She jerked and gasped when his fingers hit a particularly sensitive spot.

  “In Hindi, it means ‘baby.’ In my language, it means ‘I love you.’” He smiled. “When I call you that, it means I wish to make you mine, to love you, keep you and protect you for the rest of our lives.”

  “Oh!” It was her only reply, because at that instant, they both took a nipple in their mouths and suckled strongly.

  Currents rushed from the tips of her breasts straight to her womb, causing her clit to throb. Her body’s cream coated her thighs as they continued to suckle her breasts and Tarin’s expert fingers played her clit like a maestro.

  Her two men positioned themselves, one on either side of her, suckling her nipples, kissing the undersides of her breasts then moving lower still to lave her stomach and belly button.

  Flames licked at her skin with every touch of their fingers and tongues. Pleasure swamped her, moved through her like a living being at every touch, every flick of the tongue. Even the sensation of their breath, warm on her skin, sent shivers skittering down her spine. Pleasure had her in its grip and she didn’t want it to ever let go.

  Tarin moved between her legs and licked a trail from her knee before moving straight to her pussy. When he finally circled her clit with his tongue, she screamed then moaned when he inserted one oil-covered finger into her ass.

  This was the beginning of their bonding. They intended to make her theirs this night, and she would do everything in her power to make this memorable for all of them.

  First he worked just one finger into her back hole, then another and another. By the time he had three in her ass, she had lost the ability to do anything but moan and thrust back against him as he suckled her clit.
