She cried out, filling him with feminine need. She was finally full, stuffed with her mates, and she fought the ending, not wanting to come yet.
He held their weight with ease, attuned to his lovers and wanting the ultimate thrill of coming together in Kate.
“Give it to me,” he and Logan said as one, feeling the same, knowing the same. A moment of clarity and joy, when Kate clenched tight around them both and blew apart, moaning their names.
She squeezed the orgasm out of him, and Jesse swore as he jetted into her, his balls drawn tight, the ache of pleasured pain oh so good.
“That’s it. Yes.” Logan thrust again and stilled, his head thrown back, his eyes closed, as he spilled inside her. “Fuck, yes.”
Before long, the awkward positioning had Logan withdrawing to lie beside them. Kate draped over Jesse, and Logan rolled closer, hugging them into his warmth.
“No more shielding yourself,” Kate slurred. “You hear me, Jesse?”
“Whatever you want, mate.” He sighed, truly content for the first time in his life. With Kate and Logan by his side, he had nothing else he needed in life.
“I want to know how you feel.”
He blinked up into her dark brown eyes, bewitched and bewildered by her sudden anger. A glance next to him showed Logan fighting a smile.
“Just tell her what she wants to hear so I can get that blowjob I’m still aching for,” Logan prodded.
“What, Kate?”
“I love you and Logan. Logan loves me and you. But you apparently only want us for sex.”
“You’re kidding, right?” he growled. “If all I wanted was sex, I could have Nate, Terry, or half the males in the compound.”
“Hey.” Logan’s smile faded.
“You’re both major pains in my ass. Logan doesn’t like me protecting him. You want me to spill over into tears, an emotional wreck. Have you seen what an idiot Prime’s become since loving Vicki? The damn woman has him getting her weird food at all hours of the night at the snap of her finger.”
Logan’s chuckle turned into a cough when Kate glared at him. “Sorry. She’s breeding, Jesse. He’s just showing her he cares. You’re telling me you won’t give Kate whatever she wants when she’s carrying?”
“Hell, I’ll give her whatever she wants now. No need for kids for that.”
Kate seemed mollified by the comment but not completely satisfied. “Then why not just tell me you love me?”
“They’re just words.”
“So lie and make me happy.”
He ground his teeth. “But I don’t want to lie to you.”
Her lips quivered. “You don’t love me?”
“No. I don’t believe in love, period. It’s a human emotion. It’s enough I want to be pack with you, considering the hell I came from. Family is new to me, this belonging.”
“But we were pack before.” Kate didn’t understand, but he thought Logan did.
Jesse explained, “We were in Eric’s pack, but we weren’t his. Eric never claimed me or you or Logan. It was a safe place to grow up, but not to actually belong. Trust me, I know what a pack is. A place where my fathers were always trying to kill each other when not fucking my mother. You think I want that?”
Logan huffed. “Come on, Jesse. How much of that have you seen here?”
“How many Ravager females are in the clan? Most of the mated ones live in the city, and the few that are in the compound are kind of wild. I don’t know. But I still want to spend the rest of my life with you. Both of you. I’d give my life to make you safe and happy. There’s an instinctive need I have to keep you, forever. What more do you want from me?”
Logan shared a glance with Kate and turned back to Jesse with a smirk. “That’s love, dumb ass. Human emotion or not. We’re Kate’s now.”
“Hmm, he won’t say it, but he feels it.” Kate smiled. “Good enough for me.”
