She arched an eyebrow. “I’m sure that’s the main reason.”
He grinned. “It’s part of the reason, at least.”
Joseph chuckled. “Believe it or not, I’m the one who suggested we sneak out, not Laurie.”
Meadow replied, “He’s being a bad influence on you, Joseph.”
Laurie said, “Now, now, be nice. It’s our wedding day. Besides, you’ve been eager for the claiming as much as we have, Emmy. And you were the one to suggest waiting until the wedding, which was ridiculous considering we’ve pleasured you many times over by this point.”
She lifted her chin. “It wasn’t because I was a prude or anything. River suggested that if I waited until today, then I would be strong enough to have you both bite me at once.”
Joseph ran a hand down her back until he could possessively grip her butt. “Oh, really? And here I thought River would rather you remain chaste forever than imagine you with us.”
She scrunched her nose. “Ew, no, my brother wasn’t thinking ofthat. But he knows how important claimings are for vampires, and despite his grumblings, he likes the pair of you.”
Laurie wrapped an arm around her shoulders. “How about we stop discussing your brother and walk faster? Khan gave us a room with magically imbued walls, so no one will hear anything, and I’m eager to unwrap my bride.”
“Are you going to happy-cry or something, as you unwrap me?” She teased.
Laurie stuck out his tongue. “No, pet. More like you’ll be screaming our names.”
A rush of heat shot through her. “Yes, please.”
Joseph chuckled. “Don’t worry, we’ll take care of you, love.”
They arrived at the door of their honeymoon suite, and Meadow reached for the door handle. However, Joseph stepped in front of her and shook his head. “No, we’ll carry you.”
Before she could say a word, Joseph swept her into his arms and walked into the room. Once the door was closed, Laurie took her into his arms and carried her to a large bedroom off to the side.
As he slowly put her down, Joseph stood behind Laurie, his gaze heated, as he ran his hands down Laurie’s chest to his crotch. Watching Laurie suck in a breath only made Meadow hotter.
Maybe later, or tomorrow, she’d tease and play and ask them to take it slow. But staring at Laurie’s fangs and then Joseph’s, her core pulsed. She wanted to feel a vampire’s bite; the ones when she’d been unconscious didn’t count.
She turned around. “Help me out of this dress quickly. And no, that doesn’t mean rip it off. I want to keep it.”
Laurie moved in front of her and started plucking the pins out of her hair while Joseph undid the buttons at her back. The dress fell down, her hair cascaded over her shoulders, and the pair made quick work of her undergarments.
In record time, she stood naked, with both of her husbands caressing her body and making her ache for more than their fingers.
Laurie kissed her as Joseph removed his hands, and clothes flew to the floor. Then he turned her toward him, as Laurie did the same.
Once they were all naked, Meadow stepped back to admire one male and then the other before sighing contentedly. “I’m so lucky.”
Joseph chuckled. “As are we. Ready for the claiming, love?”
She twirled before jumping onto the bed. “Ready!”
They both grinned at her. But as soon as they crawled onto the mattress and kneeled to either side of her, her smile faded as her heart raced.
Joseph traced her cheek, her jaw, and then ran his finger up and down her neck. “I can’t wait to taste your sweet blood, Emmy. The small taste from when we helped you during your burnout has made me crave more every hour of every day.”
As his finger continued to caress her, Laurie kissed the other side of her neck before running his fang across her skin, but never breaking it. He murmured, “Tell us we can start. I promise we’ll tease and draw out every touch and orgasm later. But right now? I want to taste you, pet. Taste your blood again.”
They each cupped one of her breasts and tweaked a nipple. Meadow sucked in a breath before replying, “Yes, please. We have the rest of our lives to explore and tease and be adventurous. Right now, I just want both of you inside me and to finally feel your fangs in my skin.”
Joseph released her breast and played with her core. “Nice and wet for us, love.” He lay on his back and then stroked his dick. Slowly.
Meadow licked her lips, more than ready to claim her vampire as much as he wanted to claim her.
