She paused in the doorway of the kitchen, inhaled deeply, and was. .h.i.t with another bout of l.u.s.t so strong her knees nearly buckled. The aroma of pine and musk hit her stronger than ever before, and she felt like she was floating across the floor toward the three men sitting at the table, rather than walking. A hysterical laugh bubbled up in her chest, but she suppressed it ruthlessly, barely keeping it from erupting from her mouth.

Three heads turned and three sets of s.e.xy eyes locked onto her, and she felt like she was drowning in a s.e.xual fog and a sensual heat, and they werent even close enough to touch.

She had no idea who moved first, second, or third, but the next thing she knew she was surrounded by three tall, hot, manly men.

Taylor stood directly in front of her with Sin and Michael at his sides. Her eyes flicked to his hands as they lifted, and then they fluttered closed when he palmed her cheeks.

"Look at me, baby," Taylor demanded.

Her lids lifted, and she stared into his heated gaze. He slowly leaned forward, and although she opened her mouth to speak, she ended up licking her lips instead. Taylor groaned right before his lips covered hers.

Mari whimpered, reached up to grip his wrists to stop herself from falling, and sighed into his mouth as he deepened the kiss. His tongue pressed into her mouth, gliding along and swirling around hers. The desire shed felt before was nothing compared to what she was feeling now. The heat spread out from her womb, heating her blood and consuming her entire body. She shivered and trembled as he devoured her mouth. s.e.xual hunger seared through her in a world not quite sane, but she couldnt seem to care. All the mattered was the next rub of his tongue on hers, the next brush of his lips over hers.

She needed more. More of him. More of them. More of everything.

When he broke the kiss, she growled with frustration and opened her eyes. She gripped his wrists tighter, trying to keep him from drawing away, but he just smiled at her and then stepped back.

Mari shifted her gaze from Taylors when a hand landed on her hip, and she peered up into Sins hungry eyes. He lifted his hand from her hip, wrapped his warm, muscular arm around her waist, and pulled her up against his hard body. She tilted her head back just as he bent down.

He slanted his mouth over hers and delved deep. His tongue explored her mouth before coming back to slide against hers. His teeth nipped, his lips nibbled, and she was so breathless she wasnt sure shed survive his all-consuming l.u.s.t. But when she felt a gust of air near her back and then the searing heat of another hard, hot body up against her own, she was done.

She couldnt fight the feelings washing over her, not that she really wanted to. Mari wanted to feel it all. She felt like she was in a frenzy of need and drunk on their pa.s.sion as well as her own. She wanted to be devoured until the hunger dispersed, but she had a feeling that it never would, that she would never be satiated and would never have enough of these three men.

Sin finally slowed the kiss until he was sipping at her lips. Her legs were so weak she didnt know if she could stand on her own, so she rested her head against his chest and gulped in breath after breath until her panting finally began to slow.

Soft, warm lips nibbled up and down the side of her neck, and she tilted her head aside to give Michael access to her skin. Goose b.u.mps raced over her body, and she swayed in their hold.

"Rest back against me, s.e.xy. I wont let you fall." The rumble of Michaels chest against her back sent another quake up her spine, but she let herself lean against him. She just didnt have the strength to fight him, them, or herself. It didnt matter that she wasnt normally like this. What mattered was that they kiss and touch her more and take away the interminable ache deep down inside her.

She looked up at Taylor when he moved up to her side. It was really hard to keep her pa.s.sion-heavy lids open when all they wanted to do was close.

"Marigold, we need to touch you more, baby. Will you let us love you?" Taylor asked. "I promise we wont do anything you dont want and well keep our clothes on."

"This will be about you, honey." Sin stroked a finger down her cheek. "We just want to show you how good we can be together."

"Say yes, Mari," Michael whispered against her ear, causing her to shiver again. "Please, s.e.xy? We just want to make you feel good."

Mari didnt have to think at all. It was what she wanted, hungered for more than anything. She would be a total idiot to refuse these three men. She trusted them to keep their word to her. She trusted them to keep their clothes on and stop if she asked them to. She trusted them to not hurt her and give her pleasure.

Oh, s.h.i.t. I really trust them. How is any of this even possible?

Chapter Five.

Mari finally got her brain and body into sync and nodded.

Taylor and Sin each lifted a hand to her cheeks.

"We need the words, Mari," Michael said in a firm voice that sounded more like a demand.

"Yes, I want-" She didnt get to finish her sentence because when Sin and Taylor stepped back, Michael swept her up into his arms and hurried toward the bedroom.

He gently placed her on the mattress, got up beside her, and covered her mouth with his. She grabbed a handful of his hair and hung on. He tasted just as good as Sin and Taylor. They all tasted different, but each of them tasted just right. Michael kissed a little more aggressively than his brother, as if he was going in for the kill and wasnt about to relinquish his control of what he wanted until he had it. That was fine with her. Mari wanted to go on kissing them all forever.

Gentle hands lifted her injured ankle as another hand pulled at the b.u.t.ton on her jeans. She moaned and sucked Michaels tongue into her mouth.

"Geezus, shes so f.u.c.king responsive." Sins gravelly voice and words only vaguely registered.

"Ive never seen such pa.s.sion," Taylor rasped. "I cant wait to taste that delectable-smelling honey."

Fingers hooked under the waistband, and then her leggings and panties were being tugged down her legs. A large, warm hand pushed up under her light sweater, caressed over her belly, and then up her torso. The hand didnt stop beneath her breast like she thought it would, but continued on until it engulfed her soft, feminine globe.

Michael broke their kiss, stared deeply into her eyes, and then removed her top.

"s.e.xy as f.u.c.king h.e.l.l," he panted out as he stared at her lace-covered b.r.e.a.s.t.s. "I need to see all of you, sugar." His fingers deftly flicked the front clasp of her bra, and the stretched material sprung open, freeing her b.r.e.a.s.t.s.

"d.a.m.n, baby, youre so f.u.c.king hot," Taylor said in a hoa.r.s.e voice.

Mari looked down where Sin and Taylor were kneeling at her feet on the bed. When she met their eyes, one after the other, she had to close hers so she wouldnt go up in flames. Although, it was way too late for that. She was already so hot she was burning up.

As she opened her eyes Sin crawled up to her other side, and after handing a pillow to Taylor, he put her wrapped injured foot onto the soft lump.

She felt so cared for, and again tears of emotion p.r.i.c.ked the back of her eyes.

Taylor literally threw himself off the end of the bed, and he landed on his knees with a thud. His arms reached out, snagged around her upper thighs, and pulled her down the bed. He lifted her legs and slung one and then the other over his shoulders, but was more gentle with her hurt foot, and she sighed with appreciation. She didnt want to call a halt because she was in pain, but she had to admit, even if only to herself, she wasnt feeling any pain right now. She put it down to all those endorphins running through her body.

Mari moaned when Michael cupped a breast and his thumb reached out and strummed over the aching nipple. Sin cupped her face, turned her head his way, and started kissing her voraciously.

She cried out when a finger caressed through her drenched folds from top to bottom and back again. And then her hips bowed off the bed when a warm, wet tongue licked her whole p.u.s.s.y.

Sin released her lips, and kissed and nibbled his way down her neck, stopping every now and again to pay more attention to sensitive spots when she shivered and moaned, before licking his way over to her other breast and drawing her nipple into his mouth.

The fervor was almost too much, but nowhere near enough. She was burning hotter and brighter and wondered if she would survive such pleasure.

Taylor flicked the tip of his tongue over her c.l.i.t, and she whimpered and shivered as her c.u.n.t clenched and more cream dribbled out. But when he flattened his tongue and started licking her like an ice cream, she started making sobbing noises as the bliss consumed her.

He growled against her p.u.s.s.y, the vibrations shooting deep into her womb, and she thrust her hips up while grabbing at his hair and tried to push him harder into her v.a.g.i.n.a. Hands wrapped around her wrists, and then her arms were being lifted up above her head and held down against the mattress. She had virtually no control over what they did or what was happening to her body, and that just turned her on even more.

Taylors finger rimmed her dripping-wet hole, and then he started pushing up inside her. Inch by slow, pleasurable, excruciating inch, until it was inside her c.u.n.t at far as it could go. Once more, the tip of his tongue flickered over her c.l.i.t as he began to pump his finger in and out of her sheath. And then it was a tighter fit as he added another finger. Mari mewled and writhed, her hips rocking in time to Taylors finger-f.u.c.king, and the pressure began to build.

Never had she been so wet. Never had she felt such bliss or hunger.

Each time he pumped his fingers inside, he increased the pace and the depth, and his tongue moved faster.

Tingles erupted along the sensitive internal walls, deep into her uterus, and all over her body. Her muscles grew tauter, heat grew to a blazing inferno, and her p.u.s.s.y walls grew closer together. Teeth sc.r.a.ped over her nipples before tongues swirled around the aching peaks and then mouths suckled firmly.

And then, as if theyd planned it, Taylors fingers rubbed over a really sensitive spot inside her c.u.n.t just as Sin and Michael bit down on her nipples.

Mari screamed. Her body shook and shuddered. Her c.u.n.t clamped and let go, grabbing onto and releasing around Taylors shuttling fingers. She quaked and quivered, her breath gone and her mouth wide open as nirvana swept over her again and again, and again.

Cream flowed from her p.u.s.s.y, and Taylor growled just before he made slurping and sucking sounds as he swallowed her c.u.m. Aftershocks made her whole body twitch, and it wasnt until she felt three sets of large, manly hands running over her skin as if trying to soothe her down from such a big high, that she realized her eyes were closed.

She had no idea when Taylor had withdrawn his fingers and mouth from her p.u.s.s.y and wondered if shed blacked out for a moment or two. She opened her eyes when Taylor eased her legs off of his shoulders and back onto the bed, adjusting the pillow under her injured foot.

"Thank you, baby. You have no idea how much your trust means to us."

Mari nodded since she couldnt find her voice. Plus she wasnt used to any of this and had no idea what she was supposed to say.

Michael leaned over until he was in her sight and gave her a soft smile. "Youre special, Marigold Blossom." He bent down and kissed her lightly on the lips.

"Are you hungry, honey?" Sin asked.

Maris stomach took that moment to growl, and she couldnt help but grin when all three men burst out laughing. Taylor and Michael got to their feet and headed out.

"Let me help you get dressed and then we can eat." Sin held his hand out to her, and Mari didnt hesitate in putting hers into it. But instead of helping her up like she expected him to, he brought her hand up to his mouth and kissed the back of it before winking at her. Then he rose up to his knees, scooped her up into his arms, and stood up. She sighed and wrapped an arm around his neck and nuzzled the skin of his material-covered chest with her nose.

Sin carried her to the toilet and left her to clean up. When she was finished he was waiting for her and once more lifted her up and carried her to the sink where she washed her hands. After he helped her dress, he carried her out to the kitchen and sat down at the table with her on his lap.

"Hows the pain level, honey?"

"I could do with some more painkillers."

Michael rushed over with the medicine and a gla.s.s of water before going back to help Taylor with the dinner preparations. And although she watched them move about, ogling their yummy muscular backsides and strong arms, all she could wonder about was why her pain seemed to diminish when there was pleasure to be had. If someone could bottle that, they would end up very rich indeed.

Sins wolf was a lot calmer now after being able to help bring Marigold to climax. But he was so f.u.c.king hard he was in pain. He relished holding her in his arms and inhaling her wonderful apple-cinnamon scent and hoped that her trust grew until she could accept him, his brother, and Taylor as her mates. At least she hadnt run out on them.

"Do you live with your family, Marigold?" Sin asked, but when he saw the sad look in her eyes, he wished he could take his question back.

"No."

"Im sorry, honey. I didnt mean to upset you."

"You didnt. Not really."

"What happened, baby?" Taylor asked.

"My parents were killed when a drunk driver ran a stop sign. Theyd just dropped me off at my aunts house for their first night out since Id been born six months previously."

"d.a.m.n, honey. That must have been hard," Sin said.

"Yeah, but in a way it was easier than youd think. I dont remember them so I dont miss them as much as I probably would have if I had had them longer."

"Did your aunt raise you?" Michael asked.

"Yes. She was great."

Sin cupped her face. "Was?" He almost whispered the question.

"She died of pancreatic cancer my first year of college."

"s.h.i.t," Taylor said. "Did she have kids?"

"No, she never married."

"Was she good to you?" Michael questioned.

"She was the best." Mari smiled, and her eyes turned hazy as if she were lost in memories. "She was more like a big sister than an aunt. There were ten years between her and my mom. What about you guys? Is your family still alive?"

"Mine and Michaels are. The elders of the pack decided to band together and go off traveling. They come home once a year," Sin said.

"Do you have more than one dad?"

"No," Michael answered. "Our father had no brothers or cousins, therefore he was our mothers only mate."

"What about you, Taylor? Are your folks still alive?"

When Taylor turned to face Mari, Sin saw the flash of sadness before in his eyes before he could hide it. Mari must have, too, because she pushed up off his lap and hobbled over toward Taylor. Taylors body tensed, and even though they all saw it, including Mari, she kept right on going and then she wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him tight.

"You dont have to answer. I can tell my question caused a lot of pain," Mari said.

Sin fell more in love with their mate in that moment, and from the softening of Taylors expression, he did, too. His friend didnt hesitate to envelop her in his arms and hold her close. His eyes closed as he savored having her against his body.

He glanced at Michael and saw that he was just as much in love with Mari as him and Taylor.

Sin just hoped that she would continue letting them hold her and love her even if they couldnt go all the way. She was his world already and didnt want her ever leaving them.

"My parents died a long time ago, baby."

"But you still miss them," Mari said softly before drawing back slightly and reached up to cup Taylors cheek.

"Yeah, I do."

"How old were you when they pa.s.sed?"

"Fifteen."

"Who looked after you?"

"I did."
