Suzanne's Sexy Shifters [Shy River Pack 2] (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour) by Bec Adams Page B

but wasn’t certain how to reassure her. In some ways that was the vague plan in his head.
    But when he realized she thought it would leave her alone and lonely and unable to seek a relationship of her own for fear of exposing theirs, he couldn’t hold back any longer.
    He probably should have talked it through. Perhaps even explained what a mate was and how it created a connection between them, but he’d always preferred action over words.
    He threaded his fingers through her hair, cupping her head with his hand and lifting her closer. The first touch of his lips to hers sent shivers through both of them, the incredible sensation exhilarating and a little frightening for her. Him, too, if he was truly honest.
    Gideon felt Brigden try to move away, apparently giving him a chance to make love to their woman first. He reached for his other mate, determined to have them both in his arms, his need to keep them both safe and happy very solid in his mind. He broke the kiss with Suzanne and smiled at the arousal glazing her eyes.
    “Brig, Suzanne needs you to kiss her.”
    Suzanne’s thoughts were very clear on that matter, so Gideon didn’t give her a chance to refuse. He tilted her face toward Brigden, caressing the back of her head as he watched his mates kiss for the first time. Electricity almost crackled between them. Again he could hear Suzanne’s thoughts, but even though she questioned her current behavior, she made a very definite decision to follow this through.
    Her reasons were confusing, and her determination for it to be only once was something he’d deal with later, but for now he’d take this stolen time and make certain both of his mates knew how determined he was to make this work for all of them.
    Gideon lowered one hand to Suzanne’s stomach, gliding his callused fingers over her smooth skin as he lifted Brigden’s borrowed shirt out of the way. Her nipples were hard peaks, the tiny pebbles pulling tighter as he ran a palm over her skin. She moaned, her knees weakening as Gideon held her tight against his body and lowered his other hand to the waistband of her pants. He fumbled with the fastening for a moment before pushing his hand inside the material and running his fingers gently over her warm flesh.
    “Please,” she whispered as Brigden eased away and stared into her eyes. He glanced up at Gideon as if asking permission. Gideon nodded eagerly, almost unable to comprehend the sudden changes in his life. Only this morning he’d looked forward to a few days away from his mate’s sweet scent, but now he’d not only had a chance to make love to the man he’d been forced to ignore but they were about to make love to their newly discovered female mate as well.
    “Suzanne,” Brigden said, reaching out a hand to caress her face lovingly, “are you sure? There’s no need to rush. We can wait.”
    “No!” she said in a voice more vehement than Gideon thought she intended. “I mean…no, I don’t want to wait. I…” She swallowed and glanced at Gideon with a slightly wild look in her eyes. “This feels right. Please, don’t leave me out.”
    “What?” Brigden exclaimed, obviously quite upset by her assumption that they’d continue without her if she refused.
    “Baby girl,” Gideon said, pushing his hand further into her pants, his fingers finding her wet pussy and thrusting inside, “we have no intentions of leaving you out. You’re our mate, and we plan to claim you as soon as you agree.” He pressed his thumb harder against her clit, moving in slow, soothing circles, pleased to feel her agitation recede in her mind. “Right now Brigden is going to make slow, sweet love to you while I watch.”
    She nodded and he could feel her deliberately pushing her worries aside. He did the same. Right now was about the three of them. No one and nothing else was going to overshadow such a happy moment.
    Brigden helped to strip away her clothes and then stood up to drag his own jeans off. For the
