STORY EXCERPT

Justin and Jason had returned home from Sydney, and they had sort of clicked. They spent most of their free time together and even shared one of the larger houses, each with their own room. The master bedroom was empty and wouldn’t be used unless one or all of them found their mate, and there was also a guest room. Jay, Justin, and Jason were great friends, and with the way the other members of the pack seemed to find and share their mates, Jay was hoping he would get the chance to do the same with his friends. They had a connection, as if they were of the same blood—brothers and best buddies. He’d moved to Australia to implement a connection between the Friess and Reynolds Pack, since he’d had no siblings of his own.

While he’d loved the cousins he’d left behind in Aztec, New Mexico, he’d had this feeling deep down that he would never find his mate in America. So when Jonah Friess had asked him if he wanted to immigrate to Australia, Jay had jumped at the chance. He’d taken to Blue and Joe straight away and felt as if he’d fit into the Reynolds Pack in a way he never had back home. Now that Justin and Jason were back from Sydney, he felt as if coming here was meant to be. The only thing that would make his life better was if he met his mate. He hoped and prayed that it wouldn’t take years before he met the one woman meant to complete him. He pushed his thoughts aside when he heard Justin laugh.

Both Justin and Jason were typical Aussie guys with dry senses of humour, and although they were both very intelligent, they tended to down play their abilities. Justin was a lawyer and Jason had a private investigator’s license, which came in handy as he always delved into the backgrounds and businesses that Blue suggested the pack do business with. In fact, now that Blue, Joe, and Jenny had their hands full with a new baby, they had taken over running the office, giving their Alpha and Beta as much free time as they wanted to spend time with their mate and baby, Anya.

“It was okay.” Jay sighed and scrubbed a hand over his face. He pressed the button to lower the back window and breathed in the clear, cooling, desert night air.

“What happened?” Jason asked.

“The women were hitting on me,” Jay explained. “Even the married ones.”

“Shit!” Justin grinned at Jay in the rear-view mirror. “I’ll bet it’s because of your accent. Women in this country like a man with an accent.”

“But some of them were married,” Jay stated incredulously.

Jason shrugged. “Maybe their husbands take them for granted. Maybe they were separated.”

“The worst offender was still wearing a wedding ring.” Jay shook his head.

“Did any of them pique your interest?” Justin asked, just as the ute crested the hill near the lookout.

Jay inhaled through his nose, about to answer, but the words on the tip of his tongue never made it to his lips. “Stop.”

Justin applied the brake, turned into the wayside stop, and parked the ute. “What’s—”

“That smell,” Jason said in a growly voice.

Jay ignored them. He was already out of the vehicle and inhaling deeply. The scent of jasmine and honey assailed his nose, and he drew it deep into his lungs. “Mate!” he said in a low, rumbling, growly voice.

“Mate!” Justin and Jason stated at the same time.

Jay turned to face his friends to find them staring at him with their arms crossed over their chests and their feet shoulder-width apart.

“What?” He frowned.

“Thought you might get pissed, since it seems we’re all smelling our mate,” Jason said.

“I’ve already explained about the Friess’ pack members sharing their mates.”

“Yeah, but this isn’t the Friess pack,” Justin stated.

“I have no problem sharing a mate with you two.”

Jason’s and Justin’s stances relaxed as they both nodded their heads.

“Do you think she’s still around?” Jason asked as he looked about. “Her scent’s still strong, so she can’t have left that long ago, and yet, we didn’t pass any cars heading in the opposite direction of us.”

Jay studied the ground looking for a small set of footprints, hoping to find them leading to tire tracks he could follow to ascertain which direction she was going.

“Over here,” Justin called.

“What’ve you got?” Jay rushed over to where Justin was crouching.

Jay knelt beside him and his heart stuttered in his chest when Justin lifted his finger toward his nose and inhaled deeply. “Blood.”

Jay touched the tip of his finger to the same spot Justin had, and after inhaling, had to wrestle his wolf back. His animal was angry that his mate could be hurt, and so was Jay, but until they found her there was nothing he could do.

“Fuck,” Jason yelled.

Justin and Jay sprang to their feet and hurried toward him. “Look at the ground. She was fighting someone. And over there she was sick. She’s hurt bad. We have to find her.”

Jay swallowed around the lump in his throat, nodded, and ran back to the car.

“Where are you going?” Jason snarled his question.

“Bag,” Jay answered. He opened the door, grabbed his medical bag and then rushed back to his friends. “Let’s go.”

Jason took the lead since he had more observation skills than Jay or Justin did, but with their inner animals’ noses, he knew it wouldn’t be long before they found the woman they were searching for. Jay just hoped they weren’t too late.

ADULT EXCERPT

His wolf was howling inside him, pacing and prancing on four paws, and urging him to hurry up, but he wasn’t about to hurry anything. Lexi needed to be seduced. He wanted her so hot for him that she was begging him to fill her.

He broke the kiss and began to lick and nibble along her neck, taking time to suck on her earlobe before going lower. When he got to the neckline of her T-shirt, he grabbed the hem and tugged hard. The sound of fabric ripping filled the bedroom and Lexi gasped.

Jason shifted to his knees and when he saw her magnificent breasts for the first time. He closed his eyes and groaned. They were the most perfect breasts he’d ever seen. He opened his eyes again, bent over her, and kissed her voraciously. Her little hands clutched at his shoulders, and when he covered one of her breasts with his hand she whimpered.

He licked into her mouth, nudging her knees apart with his legs and then released her lips. Her areolae were puckered and her pretty pink nipples were hard. Jason met her gaze for a second before he lowered his eyes back to her breasts.

“Fucking beautiful,” he said as he moved down the bed a little more, and then he lashed one of the hard peaks with his tongue.

“Oh god,” Lexi moaned.

Jason felt the mattress dip on either side of Lexi, and he didn’t need to open his eyes to know that Justin and Jay had joined them on the bed. Jason sucked the nipple into his mouth, swirled his tongue around the distended nub, and then suckled on it firmly.

Lexi moaned, her legs moving restlessly. The aroma of her arousal became more pungent. He released her nipple, swallowed the saliva pooling in his mouth, and then moved across to her other breast. He treated that nipple to the same attentions as the previous one, and when he had her arching up for more, he licked and sucked her flesh as he moved down her body.

Justin glanced up to see Jay and Justin had removed the remnants of her T-shirt, and his brother was kissing Lexi hungrily. Jay was kneading one of her breasts in his hand while suckling at the other.

Perfect. They will help arouse our mate to a fever pitch.

Jason scooted down the mattress, went to his belly between her splayed thighs, and slashed through the sides of her panties with an elongated claw. He tugged the material out from beneath her and slung it to the side.

His heart stuttered and his breath caught when he caught the first look of her dripping wet cunt. The brown hair on her mound was trimmed short, and he could see that she was very pink and swollen. When he saw her pussy clench, he moaned and dipped his head to catch the cream that seeped from her cunt.

Her sweet flavor exploded on his tongue, and his wolf howled with joy, begging for more. He lapped up through her folds and flicked his tongue over her clit. Lexi moaned and bucked and then spread her legs wider. Jason smiled, glad that his mate was enjoying having her pussy licked.

He looked up over her body to see that Jay was kissing her now while Justin was paying homage to those perfect breasts. His brother caught his eye, smiled, and then went back to suck on Lexi’s nipple.

Jason shifted his head lower, dipped his tongue into her creamy well, and groaned with delight as her delectable juices flowed onto his tastebuds. There was no way he would ever get enough of eating his mate’s cunt. He slurped up her honey, then he rimmed her hole with his finger while licking over her clit. When her pussy clenched and her hips arched up, he pressed that finger inside of her. She was so hot and tight, he couldn’t wait to get his hard cock inside her, but first he needed to stretch her out a bit. He didn’t want to hurt her by shoving his cock up inside her with no preparation at all.

He pumped his finger in and out of her sheath, going deeper and faster each time he pressed back in, and after the muscles inside of her loosened a little, he added another finger. Her internal walls clenched around his fingers, and her legs tautened up a little. He hoped he wasn’t hurting her, but when he glanced up her body to see that she was clutching Justin’s head to her breast, and the back of Jay’s head as he kissed her, he knew she wasn’t feeling any pain at all.

Jason slowly thrust his fingers in and out of her cunt, making sure to glide over the top wall of her pussy and her G-spot. Each time he slid the pad of his fingers over the sensitive nerve laden tissues, more cream wept from her body and her hips jerked. When her pussy rippled around his fingers and her the walls began to coil tighter, Jason knew she was getting close to climaxing.

He shifted a little higher, lapped over her clit with the tip of his tongue, and continued to pump his fingers in and out of her cunt. Just as he felt the temperature of her insides get hotter and she bathed his fingers in more cream, he sucked her clit into his mouth.

Lexi cried out and bucked. Her thighs clamped around his head and held onto him as she shook and shivered with orgasm. Her internal walls clenched and released as he continued to suckle on her clit, pumping his fingers, making sure to prolong her orgasm. When the last spasm faded, he removed his digits from her pussy, licked them clean, and then kissed the top of her mound before rolling from the bed to remove his clothes.
