NATE 10
Alex didn’t complain as I raced through the woods back to the castle with him over my shoulder. Asher, with Paige in his arms, who giggled like a maniac, and Thorn, kept to my pace. Alex gripped my waist and held on. He didn’t say anything until we got close to the opened area.
“You need to put me down.”
“What the fuck for?” I demanded. I didn’t want him away from me; he was the only one I’d claimed, the only one I knew who was willing to let me fuck them the way I wanted—rough and hard—so I wasn’t letting him from my reach.
He smacked my ass. “People will see. It’s bad enough the guards and wolves did. We can’t have the people know… know about, ah… you know.” I just knew he’d be blushing beet red.
Was he worried about himself or me?
“If you don’t—”
“No, I don’t care, but we should put up a pretense—”
“Alex,” Paige called. With his hands digging into my butt, Alex lifted himself enough to capture her gaze. “Fuck them,” she announced, and shit, I wanted to laugh.
“But—”
She shook her head. “I’m queen. I rule here, not them, and until that changes, I, as well as all of you, can do what we like when it comes to our relationships. Don’t hide your feelings for anyone. Please. If they don’t like it, they can leave.”
“Okay,” Alex replied in a whisper. It was fucking sweet he’d been worried, but I didn’t give a shit what anyone thought, and neither did my wolf. If we wanted to take our mates in the middle of a field, we would.
We ran out into the clearing. It was late, and only a few people were scattered around the area. They watched us until we disappeared through the castle gates. Some frowned, a lot smiled, and there was even a chuckle or two when they realized, from Paige waving, that there wasn’t anything wrong.
Before we knew it, I had the door to Paige’s room open and was stepping through, allowing Alex to drop to his feet. He started to step back until I hauled him back close to me with a growl in the back of my throat.
His eyes widened as he looked up at me. I heard the door close, but I didn’t move my gaze from Alex, who licked his lips. As I watched his tongue, another rumble fell from between my lips.
Paige wanted to watch—something I fucking loved the thought of. Especially since the room was already mixed with her sweet scent of arousal from just seeing Alex and me close.
Leaning in, I pressed my mouth against Alex’s. I heard Paige gasp, and as I opened Alex’s mouth by nipping at his bottom lip, another hit of arousal scented the room. Alex’s hands tightened on my hips. Our heads tilted this way and that. I couldn’t get enough of kissing him. It still surprised the fuck out of me. Kissing a guy, a team member, but hell, he was my mate. He knew what he was getting into with me, and he’d accepted it.
I slid my hand from the back of his neck down to cup his ass cheek and squeezed. He let out a whimper and tore his mouth from mine, panting. His hooded gaze lifted to mine and then moved over to the others in the room. I looked there too.
My heart gave a lurch.
Thorn stood behind Paige. His hand was down in her pants and her legs shook. She gripped his arm as if it were the only thing that held her up. Asher, without a shirt, sat on the bed. His hand ran up and down his length behind his slacks.
Alex stopped breathing for a moment seeing it, until I grabbed him and turned him like Thorn had Paige. His heart thudded hard in his chest when I slowly glided my hand into his jeans. He moaned when I threaded my hand round his erection and leisurely dragged it up and down him.
“Take her to the bed,” I ordered.
Thorn smirked. He withdrew his hand, and I knew Alex, like me, was watching. When Thorn licked his fingers clean, Alex’s cock throbbed in my hand while mine jerked in my jeans. Asher stood, his slacks dropped to the floor, and he stepped out of them, kicking them away.
Naked.
Asher was fucking naked in front of us. He stepped out of the way so Thorn could help Paige onto the bed. She lay at the head of the bed, watching us all with lust burning in her eyes. She bit her bottom lip when Asher kneeled on the bed, helping her get rid of her top, and Thorn removed her pants, gliding them down her legs at an unrushed pace.
Jesus Christ.
Thorn moved back to get rid of his own clothes, and Alex and I got a full view of Paige bare on the bed.
Claim her. Fuck her. Mark her. My wolf rumbled over and over in my head.
Alex sucked in a sharp breath, and I realized I held him a little tight. I released my grip, removed my hand and then helped him take off his shirt. His arms lifted automatically, and I threw the fabric to the floor. Paige, up on her elbows, watched me as I slid my hands over Alex’s smooth skin, savoring his hard muscles.
I popped the button to his jeans, and—Alex clicked his fingers. His and my jeans disappeared. Our cocks shot up. I chuckled, as did Asher and Thorn at Alex’s eagerness. Over his shoulder, I caught his face heating. I bit my mark on his skin and thrust my hips into his ass cheeks. “Don’t get embarrassed in here,” I told him.
“I agree,” Paige said. I glanced over. A growl dropped from my lips when I saw she had her fingers playing with her clit. “It’s hot, how excited you get,” she said, her voice low and thick with desire.
