Chasing Cristabel (Ashland Pride Six) (7 page)

Nothing had ever felt as right as their hands
and mouths on her body, and she knew it was just the beginning.

Chapter 6

Dylan angled Cris’s face and deepened their
kiss. She could feel the connection between the four of them
strengthening. She wasn’t even sure how it was possible to feel so
close to three males so quickly after meeting them, but she felt
like they’d known one another all their lives.

Chase’s teeth scraped her neck, and she
shivered, moaning into Dylan’s mouth as he pushed the straps of her
bra off her shoulders. Chase unhooked it, and Hunter tugged it from
her body, tossing it aside. She pulled from Dylan’s mouth and
leaned back against Chase as Hunter growled in pleasure, cupping
her breasts and rubbing his thumbs on her nipples.

She gripped Dylan’s shirt and tugged. He
grinned and took over, pulling the shirt over his head with a swift
movement and baring his upper body. He was lean and well-muscled,
and she ran her fingers over his chest, wanting to familiarize
herself with every inch of his silky flesh.

With a purr, Hunter kissed both of her
nipples and then sucked one into his mouth. Her body turned to
liquid, and she groaned, sinking her hands into his hair and
drawing him closer. Chase’s hands slid around her waist to the
front of her body, and he undid the button and zipper of her skirt.
It loosened, and he pushed it down her hips until it slithered down
her legs. Tipping her head back, she turned toward Chase, and he
kissed her with a throaty growl.

Dylan went to his knees next to her, his
fingers curling around her panties and sliding them slowly down her
legs. Goosebumps rose on her skin as she was bared to them
completely.

Hunter released his hold on her nipple,
turning his attention to the other one as Dylan swept his fingers
up the inside of her leg, stopping just before he reached the apex
of her thighs. She groaned and Chase chuckled. He nipped at her
lips. “Baby?”

“Dylan stopped.”

Hunter released her nipple with a growl and
gripped her hips. She lowered her gaze to look at him, his eyes
simmering with heat. “I think you better make it up to her,” Hunter
said with a husky tone.

Dylan snarled, his hand tightening just a
fraction on her thigh. “Gladly.”

Hunter moved from the bed and swung her down
to the mattress so quickly she gasped. Dylan stood slowly and undid
his jeans, shoving them down his legs. When he’d stepped free of
them, he put one knee on the bed and rested his hands on her
thighs, pushing her legs farther apart. He purred as his gaze slid
down her body to the apex of her thighs. She shivered at the
intense look.

He lowered himself to her and licked her
slowly from the bottom of her pussy to her clit, circling the bud
slowly.

“Chase, Hunter,” she said, groaning their
names and holding her hands out to them. Her cat rolled inside her,
eager for them to join her and Dylan on the bed. They stripped, and
she struggled to concentrate on watching them, but Dylan’s tongue
flicked over her clit swiftly as his lips closed over the bud. She
arched under him, gripping the bedding as heat swirled through
her.

The bed dipped as her other mates joined her.
Hunter trailed his fingers up her side as he settled beside her. He
tipped her face toward him, and she opened her pleasure-hazed
eyes.

“I’ve never seen anything sexier,” he said,
his voice a low growl that made her shiver.

She gasped as Dylan gripped her thighs and
spread her even farther apart. He tongued her clit like it was his
favorite piece of candy.

Chase pressed his hand gently against her
abdomen, his fingers slipping down toward her pussy as Dylan moved
his hands to cup her butt and lift her to his mouth. As Dylan’s
tongue slid into her, Chase rubbed her clit. She reached for the
cocks that were pressed against her sides, anxious to make her
mates feel as good as she did, but both of them chuckled as they
pulled her hands away from them, hooking her hands against their
necks instead.

“You first, baby,” Chase whispered in her
ear, returning his fingers to her clit as Dylan purred, making his
tongue vibrate in her pussy.

Her stomach tightened, and she panted for
breath. Hunter nipped her lips with a growl and cupped her breast,
plucking at her nipple with his fingers until her whole body
throbbed. All three of them with their hands on her made her heart
pound and her vision swim as pleasure poured over her, hot and
heavy. She cried out as her climax crashed over her, keeping her
gaze locked with Hunter’s. His eyes darkened, swirling with the
amber of his beast.

Dylan lowered her body to the bed, licking
his lips with a purr. He sat back on his heels. His fingers played
against her ankles as she lay between her mates, panting hard and
blinking through the stars that lit her vision.

“How do you want us?” Chase asked.

She ran her tongue along the top of her
teeth, aware that her fangs had descended a little during her
orgasm. “I want us to all come together.”

Hunter flipped to his back and crooked a
finger at her. “Come here, love.”

She rolled to her knees and moved to him,
kissing up his legs until she reached his throbbing length. She
looked up the span of his body, at his taut stomach and the ropes
of muscles on his arms that bunched as he reached for her. One hand
cupped her face so gently, as if she were made of glass and might
shatter if he held her too tight.

Dylan moved behind her, lifting her lower
body so she straddled Hunter’s legs, splaying her thighs apart. He
bent and kissed the center of her back, teasing her pussy with his
fingers before stroking her heated flesh with his cock. She looked
to Chase, and he moved close enough so she could reach for his
thick cock. Her hand clasped it and he groaned, his fangs flashing
as his mouth opened. Dylan pushed into her slowly. Her body
clutched him tightly as he seated himself fully inside her. She
shifted her gaze to the cock in front of her. She held herself up
with one arm straightened and slid her hand up Chase’s shaft as she
bent and kissed the top of Hunter’s cock.

Hunter’s hand slid into her hair as a growl
rumbled in his chest. Her cat answered, anxious for them to be
together this way. She wanted to share herself with them
individually, but this first time, it seemed fitting for them to
all be tumbling toward bliss together.

Chase’s hand wrapped around hers and helped
her keep a swift pace. He moved close enough that he could touch
her, reaching between her legs to her clit. He rubbed the sensitive
bud in time to her strokes on him, and Dylan soon matched their
pace. Dylan’s fingers dug into her hips as he pulled her closer,
angling her body until each stroke into her made her pussy grip him
tightly.

She opened her lips and took Hunter into her
mouth. He was hot and hard, and she took as much of him as she
could. She focused on him, rubbing her tongue along the underside
of his cock, stroking the thick vein and sucking hard. She swirled
her tongue along him, taking more and more of him into her mouth.
Chase’s dick thickened in her hand, growing hotter and harder as
she gripped him.

His fingers flew on her clit, rubbing her
just right as her body began to tremble and her stomach tightened.
She groaned around Hunter, and he snarled, fisting her hair and
moving her on him faster. Spiraling toward climax, she spread her
legs a little farther apart, and Dylan growled, fucking her faster
and harder, as Hunter moved her on his cock and Chase helped her
hand to move on him.

She screamed as she came, the sound muffled
by Hunter’s cock. Her body locked down on Dylan, who shouted her
name as he pressed himself close to her, his cock emptying into
her. Hunter’s cock thickened just seconds before he came, groaning,
with his hips lifting to push himself deeper into her mouth. She
swallowed his come and moved off him in time to lick the come from
her fingers as Chase followed. Unable to keep herself upright, she
slumped onto Hunter, and he chuckled, brushing the hair from her
face.

“Did we wear you out, sweetheart?”

She murmured an answer, which made them all
laugh in that way that men will, when they’ve loved their mate into
a state of bliss. Dylan eased from her pussy and stretched out next
to them as Chase followed suit. Both of their hands rested on her
back as Hunter pulled her up his body until she rested on his
chest, the steady thrum of his heartbeat under her ear.

“Fucking amazing,” Hunter said with a low
voice. “Our little hellcat.”

She could have fallen asleep right there,
with all three of their hands on her, her body warm and well loved,
but she didn’t want to. She wanted all of them to come inside her
pussy, to throb within her, marking her inside and out.

Levering herself onto her arms, she straddled
Hunter’s waist and said, “Will you mark me? Do mountain lions do
that?”

“We want to, if you’re ready for that,” Chase
said.

Hunter nodded, running his palms up her
thighs. “You set the pace. Whatever you want, it’s yours.”

She gathered her hair in her hands and lifted
it onto her head, baring her neck. “I want all of your marks on me,
where everyone can see them. I don’t want anyone to think I’m not
taken, when I’m so very much claimed by all of you.”

Dylan sat up and cupped her face. He kissed
her hungrily, as if the few moments since he’d come inside her had
been too long. “Give me your hand, love.”

She purred, reaching for him. “My
pleasure.”

Chase sat up, kissing her nipple and flicking
her clit. “It’ll be all of our pleasure.”

“Again. And again,” she whispered against
Dylan’s lips. Hunter lifted her over his cock that had hardened as
soon as she’d pressed herself against it. As she lowered onto him,
Chase kissed her neck and growled, and she felt his fangs press
lightly against her.

“Yes, fuck yes,” she moaned as her pussy
clutched at Hunter’s cock and her clit throbbed under Chase’s
touch.

“Mine,” Chase snarled just moments before he
sank his fangs into her neck.

Her cat roared in happiness, and she closed
her eyes and reveled in their attentions as next Dylan marked her,
and finally Hunter. She’d only ever imagined having one mate. With
three of them, she was certain she would melt from the inside out.
But what a way to go.

Chapter 7

Chase woke up holding Cris’s hand. She’d
fallen asleep splayed over top of Hunter like he was a pillow top
mattress, but in the last bit of wakefulness, he remembered her
clearly searching for his hand and squeezing it. Sunlight streamed
through a gap in the curtain and lit up her back with golden
sunlight. Add in the rumpled sheets and three naked guys, and she
looked like an angel who had fallen very far from heaven. Which was
good for them.

Making love to Cris the night before had been
incredible. He’d wondered if he would find it strange to share her
with his cousins, but it hadn’t been at all. They’d seemed to
instinctively know how to share her without really needing to
communicate. He smiled. He’d already thought of Dylan and Hunter as
his family, but adding Cris had made things more permanent to him.
She was the one they’d been missing. No other woman would have fit
in so perfectly except the one woman made for them.

After slipping out of bed, he drew on his
jeans and left everyone to sleep so he could rustle up breakfast.
The apartment was tiny, just barely big enough for two people. In
the small, but well-organized kitchen, he found coffee and filters
and got a pot going, and he looked in the fridge for breakfast.

“I was going to cook,” Dylan said, joining
him in the kitchen.

He looked over the fridge door. “I know you
don’t like cooking when you’re not at work. I don’t mind.”

“Together?” Dylan offered, and Chase
nodded.

By the time the eggs, home fries, sausage
patties, and toast were done, Hunter and Cris had joined them in
the kitchen. Cris was wearing a fluffy robe and Hunter, like Chase
and Dylan, had donned only jeans. Hunter sat down in one of the two
chairs and pulled her into his lap.

Dylan found an extra chair in the laundry
room and brought it to the table, and Chase filled Cris’s plate.
She watched him with a bemused smile.

“What?” he asked, deciding to give her three
scoops of eggs instead of two.

“You’re just not what I expected.”

Hunter nuzzled under her ear. “What did you
expect?”

“The males in my group are the ones who
expect to be waited on.”

Dylan reached out and took her hand. “We’re
not just trying to impress you. Well, I mean we are,” he said and
laughed, “but it’s in our nature to want to take care of you. I
guess that’s one way that mountain lions and lions differ.”

She lifted her egg-laden fork to her mouth.
After making a pleased humming sound, she said, “You don’t have to
impress me, but I really appreciate the effort. It’s been a while
since anyone’s cared about me like this.”

Hunter nuzzled her neck. “You have three
males now who care about your happiness more than everything
else.”

“Just so long as you know that the caring
goes both ways. I want you guys to be happy, too.”

“We are,” Chase promised.

As they all turned their attentions back to
breakfast, silence settled over them, but it was a comfortable one.
He’d eaten thousands of times in his life, sitting at a table with
the pride or with his cousins. But no breakfast had ever meant as
much to him as this one. Their first one together as a mated group.
Their beautiful mate, wearing all of their marks on her lovely
neck, and his two cousins, who he trusted with his life. It was
perfect.

When the meal was done, Hunter set her on her
feet and shooed all three of them into the family room while he did
the dishes. Cris settled on the couch, and Chase and Dylan sat on
either side of her, both of them reaching for her hands.
