Chapter 17

Norm crawled to the center of the bed and looked over his shoulder at Smokey, still dressed in his biker gear, stroking his cock. He knew right then that Theo had figured out that it was also Norm’s fantasy to be taken by a hot and sexy biker. When Smokey failed to join him on the bed, Norm wiggled his ass, hoping his mate would get the message.

Grinning, Smokey understood the message perfectly, but his mate would just have to be patient. “Spread your legs, Eagle Feather…I want to see your pretty hole that’s so eager for me.”

Groaning, Norm did as directed, his dick growing harder as he anticipated his mate’s cock entering him. Lowering his head onto a pillow and arching his back, he waited with anticipation to see what Smokey would do next.

Theo edged over to Smokey and whispered, “Eagle Feather’s a virgin.”

Snapping his head around to Theo, Smokey raised a questioning eyebrow, but then realized that Norm was offering him a great gift. Stripping off his clothes except for his leather cuffs, Smokey crawled up behind Norm before kneeling between his mate’s legs. Running his hands over Norm’s firm ass cheeks, he pulled them wider apart, taking another look at the prize awaiting him. Then, leaning over Norm’s back, Smokey licked the spot of his intended bite before running his tongue down his mate’s spine until he reached the top of his crease. Nipping one cheek then the other, Smokey grinned at Norm’s sharp cry of surprise .

Glancing over at Theo, who was busy fist-pumping his cock while watching them, he growled, “Lube, Shining Star…I need it.”

But before Theo could react, Norm reached under his pillow, pulled out a tube of lube and threw it backward to Smokey.

Grinning, Smokey muttered, “Fully prepared like a good Ghost Bear Cub Scout should be.” Placing the lube next to him, Smokey bent down and licked from the top of Norm’s crease down to his taint, paying special attention to the muscles around his mate’s hole. Now that he knew Norm had never bottomed, Smokey discarded his plan to take his mate rough and hard; instead, he’d be slow with lots of teasing mixed in. It would help Norm relax and, if Smokey entered inch by inch, it would be virtually painless. Returning to the muscles around his mate’s hole, Smokey worked them over with his tongue, licking and probing until they loosened their resistance. Lifting his head, he checked on Norm and was pleased to see that his body had relaxed, encouraging Smokey to continue his efforts.

Watching Smokey licking Norm in real life was better than any porn video Theo had viewed when he was younger. It was his very own command performance and he hoped to see it many times again in the future.

Being rimmed by Smokey felt unbelievably good and something Norm never thought he’d like but damned if he didn’t love it. He now understood why Theo wanted it so often. His anxiety about bottoming fell away as Smokey continued to work on easing the muscles guarding his pucker. Now lost in how good it felt, he felt his body begin to crave more.

Finally, when Norm was fully relaxed, Smokey used his tongue to probe his mate’s hole, loving the whimpers his efforts produced. Five minutes, maybe ten, Smokey just kept going—his only goal was to make Norm’s first time memorable. When Norm’s cries of pleasure turned to “Fuck me!”, Smokey sat back on his heels and grabbed the lube. After first coating his cock and then Norm’s relaxed pucker, he glanced over at Theo. “You good there, Shining Star?”

“Oh yes…yup…definitely…just perfect!” Theo replied, his voice filled with lust.

“Good, then get over here and give Eagle Feather something to suck on.”

It took Theo a moment to figure out what Smokey meant, but then, giggling, he scrambled onto the bed and leaned his back against the headboard. Pushing his cock toward Norm, he watched his mate open his mouth, suck it in and then caress it with his hot, wet tongue.

Smokey looked at his mates before turning his attention back to Norm. Having something in his mate’s mouth to play with would distract him when Smokey inserted his finger. Looking down, he was happy to see the muscles around Norm’s hole were still relaxed. Pressing a fingertip against the opening, he held it there for a moment before gently pushing in, pleased at how eagerly Norm’s hole had allowed it to enter. His cock twitched in anticipation as he fingered the inside of the soft, velvet tunnel that would soon encase it. He paused for a moment, waiting for Norm to adjust, but his mate quickly made his wishes known when he pushed his ass back, allowing Smokey’s finger to slide in all the way. In no time at all, Smokey had three fingers inside Norm and was finger-fucking him with ease .

“Now, Golden Sun,” Theo murmured to Smokey, his cock still buried in Norm’s throat. “Our mate needs you now!”

Nodding, Smokey’s hands pulled apart Norm’s cheeks and, lining up the tip of his cock with his mate’s pucker, pushed in slowly and smoothly, sinking balls-deep into his mate’s tight channel. “Oh fucking hell!” he groaned as Norm’s muscles flexed against his cock. Bending over Norm’s back, Smokey kissed the spot he’d previously selected for his bite before whispering words of love in his mate’s ear.

It took Smokey several moments to fight the urge to come, but at last, he was able to move without fear of orgasming too quickly. Pulling out slowly until just the tip of his cock remained in Norm, he hung there for a moment, relishing the whimpers coming from his mate. Reversing course, he rammed his cock in, bottoming out into the deep recesses of Norm’s ass. It was glorious.

Breathing heavily, Smokey began pumping his hips, shuttling his cock in and out of Norm’s love tunnel. Sweat slicked his body, fire raged through his veins, and yet, Smokey fought his orgasm. He hadn’t had enough of Norm and he doubted he ever would. Rising up onto his knees, Smokey grabbed Norm’s hips, holding him in place. Increasing the speed of his thrusts, he was now solely focused on making Norm his by marking him both inside and out.

Smokey’s bear rose up on his hind legs, bellowing out his warning to everyone that Norm’s bear belonged to him. Smokey felt his fangs drop, readying him for the claiming. Pumping faster, he targeted Norm’s prostate, hitting it constantly. He could no longer hold back his orgasm as it skated up his spine before descending to his groin. Glancing at Theo, Smokey ordered, “Come, Shining Star!”

As his own orgasm finally arrived, Smokey bent over Norm’s back and sank his fangs into his mate’s shoulder. Joined together, he watched as their bears greeted each other before merging into one. From now on, Norm’s bear would be as powerful and strong as Smokey’s grizzly and together they would protect their Omega and his cubs from anyone who might wish to do them harm.

Norm’s mouth and ass were filled with his mates’ cum when he felt Smokey’s fangs pierce his skin. He was claimed, owned by his mate’s bear in a spectacular manner and the love filling his heart finally chased away the lingering hurt his parents had caused him.

Wrapping his arms around Norm, Smokey rolled over, still linked with his mate. Looking over Norm’s shoulder, he noticed his now-limp cock. Glancing up at Theo, he murmured, “I think our mate’s cock, needs a cleaning Shining Star.”

Grinning, Theo moved down the bed until he was even with Norm’s flaccid cock. Lifting it gently, he milked the last few drops of cum that still remained from his mate’s ejaculation when Smokey had claimed him. After licking Norm’s cock clean, he moved up and kissed his mate, letting him taste himself on Theo’s tongue, before whispering, “I love you, Eagle Feather.”

Nestled together like bears in a winter den, the three mates curled up together. Smokey’s claiming of Norm and Theo filled him with a deep satisfaction, though to be truly to be bound together, as Theo had promised earlier, he still needed to be claimed by his two mates. But that could wait until they had gotten some rest.

After a restless night of sleep, Jackson decided it was useless to stay in bed. Carefully removing himself from Steel’s arms, he rolled over and sat up, staring at the slice of early morning sun cutting across their bedroom floor.

“Babe,” Steel murmured, still half asleep, “What’s the matter?”

Jackson smiled and ran his fingers through his mate’s messy hair. “I love this side of you,” he said.

“Oh yeah? And what exactly do you love?” Steel asked, his eyes now focused on Jackson.

“Everything…messy hair, sexy, sleepy voice, and definitely your half-opened eyes filled with love for me.”

“What about my other side?”

“Oh, I love that too…styled hair begging for my touch, deep growly voice commanding me to get down on my knees, and those tight jeans you love to wear…mmm…mmm… And I never can get enough of that sexy ass of yours.”

“Hmmm…sounds just like what I love about you.” Sitting up, Steel scooched back until he was resting against the headboard, and then, patting the space next to him, he said, “Now since we both agree on how hot we are, why don’t you come here and tell me what’s bothering you? And don’t say nothing, because I’ll bet you didn’t sleep more than an hour or two last night. Is it Cain?”

Crawling over to Steel, Jackson snuggled against his mate’s side. “Cain’s part of it…Dylon now agrees that Ca in’s needed if we’re gonna win against the humans…”

“But you still aren’t sure.”

“Not exactly. I do agree with Dylon about Cain but I can’t shake the feeling that relying solely on him to solve the human problem is a mistake,” Jackson said, looking at Steel. “I believe he has a role to play but…”

“We need more than just him,” Steel finished.

“Exactly. Right now, it may just involve the Blackwood Pack, but according to Dylon, humans have been infiltrating our world for longer than we thought. Zane confirmed that humans were bidding on Colton—which means they knew about shifters way back then.

“And probably long before that, too,” Steel said quietly, thinking it over.

“Right…and it’s not just confined to here…so how can just one pack fight what I fear is an army of humans looking to use us for their own purposes? Last night, after thinking it over, I realized we can’t do it alone…not even with Cain helping us.”

“Did you come up with a solution?”

“Maybe…but…”

“You have doubts.”

Snorting, Jackson replied, “Just a fucking shit-ton of them. The safety of every member of my pack is paramount because, as I discovered with Josiah, the world is filled with evil assholes who want power and money. My brothers suffered due to the actions of one of them and are just now beginning to live again. I won’t…I can’t jeopardize that no matter what. And then, there are our powers…can you imagine what my brot hers’ lives would be like if humans found out about them? There’d be no place on earth that would be safe for them.”

“And that means,” added Steel, “that secrecy must be maintained until whatever allies you enlist have proven themselves worthy of your trust.”

“Exactly…and that brings me to the next problem…Kahn. Your father told me about Reeve’s childhood and how they met.”

“And…”

“And now I understand Reeve better…maybe even trust him, but I can’t extend that trust to Kahn…at least not yet.”

“Because of Josiah.”

“Right…your father asked me if I thought Kahn was involved in the massacre…”

“Do you?”

“No…not anymore.”

“Are you certain? Or do you still think it could be possible he knew, but said nothing.”

“Yes…no…maybe?” Jackson shrugged his shoulders. “I just don’t know. I’d like to think he’d have warned me if he did. But for better or worse, Josiah was his father…one who I remember ruling my cousin with an iron fist.”

“The only solution I see is to ask him directly…that’s the only way you’ll know for sure.”

“Your father said the same thing,” Jackson said.

“And… ”

“And I decided to call Reeve today and tell him I want to talk with Kahn.”

“Do you want me there when you do?” asked Steel.

“No…I don’t think so…I want to see him alone so you’ll have to keep Reeve occupied because he’ll probably balk at my request.”

“Oh goody,” Steel smirked. “Just who I want to spend time with…a jealous mate who’s pissed off cause he’s not invited to the party.”

Chuckling, Jackson said, “I thought you might arrange for him to join you at a meeting with Carson about Dire Enterprises’ grant program…and maybe invite your father, too.”

“You are so fucking devious!” exclaimed Steel, grinning. “I’ll ask Dad today.”

“Thank you, babe,” Jackson murmured, giving his mate a kiss.

Taking advantage of his mate’s mouth on his, Steel thrust his tongue in as he deepened the kiss. These moments were precious to him and he took full advantage of them. Sliding down onto the bed, he tugged Jackson on top of him, wrapping his hand around his mate’s cock. It took only a few strokes to bring it to full mast. “Wanna fuck me?” he whispered against Jackson’s lips.

Jackson moved his head back and stared at his mate for a moment before giving him a wicked smile. It wasn’t something he did regularly, but he always enjoyed it when the opportunity arose. “You bet your sweet ass I do.”

Steel winked at his mate and grinned. “My sweet ass, you say? ”

“Yes,” Jackson replied, “Roll over…I got some lickin’ to do.”

Steel turned over onto his stomach and tucked his arms under his pillow while spreading his legs apart. “Anything else?”

Jackson slid up between his mate’s legs until his cock rested between his mate’s cheeks. “This feels so good,” he whispered in Steel’s ear.

Moaning, Steel squeezed his cheeks together, trapping his mate’s cock. “It’d feel better if it was inside me.”

“Patience, my love.” Moving slowly, Jackson began licking every dip and swell on his mate’s back, working his way down Steel’s body. Teasing his mate was one thing Jackson loved doing and, by the sound of the noises coming from Steel, he loved it, too. By the time he’d finished, Steel’s hole was loose and begging to be filled.

Lost in a world where only they existed, Jackson entered Steel slowly, savoring every moment his cock was hugged by his mate’s tunnel. Moving at a leisurely pace, he repeatedly thrust and then withdrew, keeping his mate on the edge for a long time before gradually increasing his tempo. Ignoring Steel’s frantic cries for relief, Jackson continued until he could no longer hold back his own orgasm which, when it erupted, triggered the same response in his mate spurring both of them to the pinnacle of pleasure.

Their wolves, now entwined, hung in the sky among the stars for what seemed like an eternity before slowly descending back to earth.
