Page 18 of Nita's Redemption

She bit her lip, working to calm herself down. She concentrated on taking deep, even breaths and letting them out slowly. “I don’t want you guys to fear me,” she admitted.

Tank laughed, his body moving in behind her until he was sitting with his legs on either side of her, snuggling her back to his front. She kept hold of Abe and Link’s hands while Tank wrapped his arms around her middle. The four of them somehow connected perfectly, with none of them being left out. The moon came out from behind a cloud, the glow like a beam of light directly down on the spot where they were sitting, like an arc of electricity without the jolt of lightning that came with it.

“Hmm, this is nice. I feel as if we’re given a blessing from the Goddess herself,” Tank rumbled next to her ear.

Nita shivered, goosebumps rising along every inch of her body at the words Tank said, and what she felt deep within her soul. The Goddess had blessed her many times in her life. First by giving her Bakra and the others for friends, then the chance at life gifted to her through Zeus, and last but not least, Fated Mates with not one or two but three incredible males. All she had to do was accept them and their love.

She leaned her head back, rolling her neck to the right and meeting the gaze of Abe. “You are mine,” she said, accepting his sweet kiss and then turned to the left, smiling at the love shining from Link’s heated gaze. “And you, you’re mine.”

“Damn right, dušo. And you’re ours.” He kissed her much more fierce than his twin but still sweet.

Once Link released her, Tank shifted her around to face him, moving her legs on either side of his hips. He held her face in both of his large palms, keeping her in place while he stared down at her. “Once we claim you, sreco, there is no going back. You are it for us until the end of time and beyond. Are you sure you’re ready for that? We can wait for you if you need more time.”

Nita moved until she was kneeling between his thighs and gripped his hard jaw. Goodness he was so damn cute. “If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t have come here to this sacred place with the three of you and asked the Goddess to bless our union.” She looked over her shoulder and up at the moon.

They all followed her gaze, gasps leaving all three of her males as they watched what appeared to be flecks of silver and gold rain down from the sky.

“Y’all are seeing what I’m seeing right?” Link asked.

“If you mean you’re seeing glitter raining down from the moon then yep,” Abe said, awe lacing every word.

“Did you do that?” Tank asked Nita.

She shook her head. “I have many abilities but making the moon rain silver and gold isn’t one of them. That was our sign from Selene herself. So what’s it gonna be boys. You think you can handle me or no?”

Tank didn’t give her a second to catch her breath before he was claiming her lips with his. She felt the ground shift and then air blowing past her. Nita was lost, swept away with the expert lips and tongue of Tank that she didn’t realize they’d left the meadow until the smell of the night air was replaced by her favorite apple spiced candle.

It took great effort to pull away from Tank’s kisses to see if she was right. Oh yeah, her male had sprinted them to the immense space he shared with the twins, and one day, it would be where she lived too, Goddess willing.

She licked her lips, making Tank groan.

“Female, you’re killing me here.” Tank’s arms pulled her closer as he buried his nose in the crook of her neck. “Goddess you smell fucking good enough to eat.”

The door opened and shut somewhere behind her, two growls echoing around her.

“You let your dire wolf take control, asshole,” Link muttered.

Abe laughed as he moved around them. “We had no clue you could move that fast without fully shifting. Now we know and damn was that cool as shit, brother.”

Nita looked around her, squirming a little so Tank would let her down.

“I had no clue either. So um, hi, guys.” She wasn’t sure what or how this was going to go. Geesh, maybe they were moving too fast?

Link stepped up to her, brushing the hair off of her forehead. “It’s okay. We’ll only do what you’re ready to do. How about we sit down on the couch and have a drink. You like beer or would you rather have some water?”

“A beer would be great.” She was sure she would need about a case to relax, or more since their shifter abilities metabolized alcohol quickly.

Without being wrapped up in Tank’s arms, she could take in the place's interior and was pleasantly surprised at the comfortable furniture. Gone was the frat guy looks from before. She eased into the corner of the large sectional, feeling as if she could sleep in the comfy place for days. The dark grey furniture was extremely comfortable with two large recliners placed on either side that were catty-corner to the huge seventy-five inch television mounted on the opposite wall. She could see gaming systems cleverly hidden underneath. She couldn’t wait to play with the guys. In more ways than just the horizontal mamba. Oh my Goddess, I’m going to be buckass nekkid with my mates soon.

“Here you go, babe.” Link handed Nita a beer with the cap already off, sitting down on one side of her while he kicked his feet up on the ottoman in the center.

“I love this space,” Nita murmured.

“We knew that when we found our female, more than likely we’d all want to still live together. I think deep down, the three of us knew we’d be sharing our Fated Mate, which is why we furnished our home so that everything was large and comfortable, almost feminine but not.”

“I love all the touches you made, especially the sectional. It looks like suede and the color is truly a beautiful shade of grey.” Nita bit her lip, hoping she wasn’t sounding like a fool.

“I think there’s some fancy name for the sectional. When we chose it the only requirement I had was that it be soft and inviting. We selected the ottoman from the same collection that has those buttons that match the couch. The salesman was talking it up like it was all the rave. You should’ve seen Tank. I swear, he was ready to bite the dudes head off.” Link ran down her arm, making her shiver.
