JUNIPER
I left Ethan’s office feeling lighter than I had all day. Ethan didn’t doubt my skills. He just feared the worst, but he promised to work on it. Things would get better. I opened my door and searched for Nathan. When my bed was empty, I frowned. I hadn’t wanted to leave Nathan to talk to his brother, but I didn’t want to go to bed upset with Ethan. I had too many other things to worry about to waste energy fighting with my mates longer than necessary.
Where are you? I linked, hoping Nathan wasn’t mad for letting Ethan sweep me away.
Behind you. Nathan wrapped his arms around my waist and spun me around. My feet never landed on the ground again. Instead, he laid me down on the bed and climbed on top of me, his lips meeting mine in a soft embrace. He hummed into the kiss, and I ran my fingers through his hair, easily getting lost in his touch.
When he parted, we stared into each other's eyes, no words needed. Nathan being here was enough. I felt whole again, knowing my mates were in the same pack, just how it was meant to be.
“Ethan sure took his time with you,” Nathan said, unable to keep the hint of jealousy out of his voice.
“We had some things to talk about.” I ran my fingers over the curves of his chest. I wanted to memorize every detail, knowing we only had a few weeks together before he had to go back to school.
“I’m glad he apologized,” Nathan said.
“How do you know he apologized?” I hadn’t had time to tell Nathan about my fight with Ethan. After he showed up, we barely spoke before diving into a makeout session.
“Because I know you and my brother. It was clear you two had some sort of fight, and I no longer feel that tension, which means everything is okay.” Nathan laughed, and the sound was magical. I would never take his laugh for granted after he had been broken down and hypnotized by his own father and a vampire.
“You’re not wrong, but I don’t want to talk about Ethan right now.” I bit my lip and looked at his mouth, still hungry from before. “I want to finish where we started.”
“You don’t have to tell me that twice.” He pressed his body against mine, pinning me to the bed as he kissed me thoroughly. I hooked my leg around his, wanting to be as intertwined with him as possible.
I reached for the hem of his shirt and pulled it over his head before running my fingers over his muscular back. Piece by piece, our clothing came off, hot kisses exchanged as we lost another article of clothing. When nothing but my underwear separated us, Nathan sucked on my neck, latching onto one of four mate marks, the one that belonged to him.
My wolf howled, and my body grew needy and wet. I shifted my hips, and Nathan’s c**k pressed against my core, only the thin cloth of my panties separating us. He groaned against my neck, biting down lightly on his mate mark.
“I need more,” I whimpered, longing for him to fill me after all of this time.
“As you wish,” Nathan whispered, his breath tickling me and sending goosebumps running down my spine.
He left sloppy kisses trailing down my body, not stopping even when he reached my underwear. He hooked his fingers through the thin cloth and pulled it off. His mouth replaced my underwear, and I spread my legs farther as his tongue stroked through my folds. He took his time to explore my body, his hands gripping my thighs showing his true need.
I squirmed as the pressure began to build, but Nathan pinned my hips down, keeping me in place. He slipped a finger inside of me as he sucked on my clit. He moved his finger in and out, making sure I was ready before inserting a second finger. Breathy moans escaped my mouth, and my toes curled as the pressure in my core became unbearable.
Nathan curled his fingers, hitting the perfect spot and sending me over the edge. I bucked against his fingers as my orgasm rippled through my body. I gripped the blanket beneath me in a futile attempt to keep me grounded, but Nathan continued to lap up my juices until my body collapsed in exhaustion.
He kissed back up to my torso, taking his time to treasure me. When he finally reached my head, he hovered above my lips.
“Are you okay?” His voice was soft as he studied my face. He was always so sweet.
I smiled, brushing my knuckles against his cheek. “I’m wonderful.”
“Good.” He kissed me softly, but when he pulled away, disappointment filled my chest. “It's late. You should get some rest.”
I grabbed his shoulders and flipped him onto his back. “If you think we’re done here, you’re going to be disappointed.”
He smirked, looking up at me. “Are you sure you don’t want to sleep? We don’t have to rush anything.”
I settled my hips over his, his c**k pressing against my core. “Nathan, it's been nearly a month since I last saw you. If you think I would rather sleep than spend time with you, then you must be crazy.”
I rocked my hips over his, making his c**k slide through the slickness left behind from my arousal. He groaned, unable to respond as a surge of pleasure coursed through him.
Leaning forward, I brushed my lips against his ear. “Unless you want to sleep. Then we can stop.” I started to get off him, but Nathan grabbed my hips, refusing to let me go.
“You’re not going anywhere,” he growled. He lined himself up with my entrance, but he let his hands run down my thighs, giving me complete control.
I lowered myself down, moaning as he filled me completely. I didn’t need to adjust to his size, since my body was already hungry for my mate. I bounced up and down, keeping the rhythm slow and consistent at first.
Nathan grabbed the back of my neck, pulled me into a heated kiss. “I missed you so much,” he said between desperate kisses.
“I missed you, too,” I breathed back. I picked up the pace, needing to share every ounce of pleasure with my mate.
Nathan grabbed my hips, forcing me to hold still as he thrusted up into me. The power behind his movements reminded me that while he was sweet and caring, his strength was just as mind blowing as his brothers.
I tucked my face in the crook of Nathan’s neck as I cried out with pleasure. As I felt my second orgasm building, I bit down on his mate mark, which pushed him over the edge. As he groaned in my ear as he filled me up, a pleasure more intense than before surged through my body.
As our bodies came down from the high, and our breathing was the only noise in the room. I didn’t move, too exhausted to bother, but after several minutes, Nathan picked me up and carried me to the bathroom to clean me up. He set me on the bathroom counter before grabbing a warm washcloth.
“I don’t know how I’m ever going to leave you,” he laughed. “I swear you are addictive.”
I chuckled, knowing exactly what he meant. Most nights I didn’t get enough sleep because it was hard to keep my hands off my mates. Lack of sleep was worth every moment I got to spend with them, and with having four different mates, it felt impossible to get bored.
“I think I’m going to have to find more excuses to visit you when you go back to school.”
Nathan laughed, but there was something off about it. He pushed himself between my legs and kissed me, running his fingers over my body. “I just want to think about the time we have together right now.” His c**k pushed against my core, and he was already hard again.
My mouth watered, and my exhaustion disappeared, knowing how much my mate wanted me. I cupped Nathan’s face and stared into his eyes. “Then let’s make the most of tonight.”
He closed the distance between us, sliding his length into me at the same time. Tonight was going to be a long and beautiful night with my mate.
