My thoughts cause me to laugh a little harder and both men simply look at me like I am crazy.
Going insane was not something I had actually planned for today, but here we are.
Chapter
Six
Do you know what being hungry, injured, and sex-deprived in a forest does to a woman’s libido?
Apparently, it throws it into overdrive.
One minute, two naked strangers are claiming to be animal shifters, and the next, you realize you have been petting one of their chests for a while now.
But when I stopped and went to pull my hand back, Mat growls at me. It’s a low growl with such a deep tenor that it vibrates my lady bits in such a delicious way. I bite my lip and continue running my fingers along his chest.
“So let’s just say, I believed all of this. Why are you exposing yourselves to me?” My face goes pink at the choice of my words and Ren chuckles a little.
“To put it plainly, your scent called to us.”
“My scent called… oh no.” My brain catches up quickly and hones in on what Ren is implying. I am notmatematerial. Certainly not now. There is an obvious mistake.
“I don’t care how sexy you guys are, there is no way I can be your mate. One, we just met. Two, I am pretty sure this is a hallucination and my brain is just craving sex. Three, I am damaged goods. I’m not fit to be anyone’s girlfriend, let alone amate. Four… Four… I forgot what four was because your cocks are staring into my soul and it’s very distracting.”
Mat growls again, but this time he grips my shoulders and spins me to face him. His eyes bore into mine and I feel more naked than the two of them combined. In a voice that shows more compassion than anything else, Mat whispers. “You are not damaged.”
His lips crash against mine and I melt into him.
He could have said anything—a million things actually—but nothing could have possibly gotten to me like this. Nothing could have made me feel so… whole. At that moment, I didn’t feel my injured leg or my limp that pulls everyone’s gaze. I didn’t feel the pity in their eyes when they remember my story plastered on all of the news channels eleven years ago. I felt… love.
Ren clears his throat, garnering yet another growl from Mat, as he breaks our kiss. “Mat, since I don’t think I should get this leg wet right now, why don’t you take our mate over to our favorite spot, so she can get cleaned up?”
It’s on the tip of my tongue to ask what he means, when a chill hits my crotch and I nearly die from embarrassment. I fucking forgot I pissed my pants! Someone please just shoot me now and put me out of my misery.
Mat nods and scoops me up. He must feel my newfound distress as he quietly notes, “Some animals urinate on their mates to claim them.” The statement has my eyes going wide as I look at him.
“You don’t… I mean, I don’t… Is that something you guys…want?” The question is barely out before Mat chuckles.
“No, Ren would not. I am fine either way. Your… well, your scent is predominant in anything that comes from… there. So I would proudly wear any form of your scent.”
Before I can respond with—well, I have no clue what—Mat moves branches and suddenly we are in a beautiful grove, covered in flowers with a large but rather quiet waterfall. It’s fucking gorgeous. My fingers itch for my camera, but before I can grab it, Mat unbuckles my straps.
“Please. I know this is your art, but this place is special to us. This is our mating gift to you. No other creature in this forest would dare enter this space.” A gift. For the first time in my life, a man has givenmea gift. And it’s a whole fucking grove with a waterfall.
This time, it’s me who presses my lips against his. He returns the kiss with equal enthusiasm, and slowly moves us into the cool waters. Once the water reaches my abdomen, he breaks away and begins to pepper kisses along my jawline. I glance over at the space where we entered the grove and spot Ren getting comfortable on the grass. The sunlight dances across him from behind the clouds and as it hits his cock, a tiny wet bed of precum sparkles brightly.
I have never wanted to lick something so badly in my life.
Mat shifts my body and helps me remove my pants. In an unexpected turn of events, my panties go along with it, leaving my core fully exposed to the cool waters. Mat tosses my clothes into the grass, before grabbing each of my ass cheeks in his hands and lifting my body against his.
The warmth of his skin against mine has me moaning in pleasure and his cock twitches where it stands at attention right below my ass. He kisses me again, and this time releases his hold with one hand, snaking it between our bodies and groping my breast through the thin fabric of my shirt.
He pulls away and dives into kissing the exposed top of my breast, but after a second loses patience with the fabric separating us and rips it clean off. Sports bra and everything.The shock only lasts a moment, when I spot his elongated nails. So that’s how he did it.
Mat’s hand cups the bottom of one breast and his lips cover my nipple, sucking it in hard. I gasp and when my eyes focus on Ren, I notice him stroking his cock while he watches.
I’ve never been so jealous of a hand in all my life.
