Katie's Mates by Alicia White Read Free Book Online Page A

wanted to push her, to pull her clothes from her body and feast for hours. Instead, he moved to his side, pulling her into his arms. She trusted him, she had come to his room, and he wasn’t willing to push her too fast. His body was going crazy, though, and he was having a hard time keeping his hands from roaming over her body.
    “Ryan…why is Lucas so upset with me?” Her voice carried a sad tone to it, and he wondered if she realized how she sounded. Usually when mates met, they couldn’t stand to be apart. There was something that pulled them. It happened with shifters and humans alike, as if your subconscious and body recognized the other as belonging to you. He couldn’t figure out what Lucas’s problem was, though. It didn’t make any sense, unless he just really wanted her attention and he didn’t care if it was negative.
    “He’s not upset with you. You haven’t done anything wrong.” He rubbed her back, trying to reassure her.
    “Will you take me to see my sister? I don’t want to be here anymore.” Her whispered words stung him, but he understood the confusion she was having. She wanted them, but at the same time, the new feelings were too much, too soon.
    “I will, I promise. I just can’t right now.” He exhaled sharply, not sure what he should say, knowing he wanted to tell her everything, but his brothers most likely would want to be a part of that conversation.
    “What are you going to do with me? Why do you want me here?” She pulled back and looked at him, searching his eyes for the answers.
    “I want to answer all your questions. I want to put you at ease. I hope that you’ll be able to trust me when I tell you that we aren’t going to hurt you. In fact, it’s the complete opposite. We just want to make you happy.” He wanted to say more. He wanted to tell her that they would take care of her, pleasure her, and always make her happy. She was meant to be with him, with all of them, but the words stuck in his throat, and he didn’t want to risk losing her with the truth right now. He was content having her in his bed, in his arms. This was exactly where she belonged.
    A look mixed of disappointment and relief ran across her face. She was so expressive and easy to read. He loved watching her, knowing what emotions she was feeling so easily. “I can tell you wanted me to say more. I’m just not sure of what I can tell you.”
    “I knew there was more.” She pulled back from him, and Ryan immediately felt the loss. She came to him. He still couldn’t figure out why she hadn’t run to Nathan. They seemed to have bonded right away. Yet, here she was in his bed, practically begging for answers, and he didn’t know what to say.
    “I will tell you this, I’ve never wanted a woman more than I want you. I’ve waited for so long to have you in my arms, to be able to kiss you and touch you. I know that must be hard to believe, but it’s true. My brothers feel the same way.” He added that last part because she did belong to all four of them. He wasn’t able to keep her for himself. Leaning forward, he brushed his lips against hers. His body melted, pulling her closer once more, until there was no division between them. She moved her hips, rubbing her hot pussy on his thigh.

    Oh, God, she wanted him. She wanted so much more than she should. His lips set her on fire, and shivers of need racked her body. She wanted to touch him everywhere. She moved her hips, wanting to get closer, wanting to touch the huge erection tenting his pants.
    Ryan’s hand slid down her back to cup her bottom, pulling her closer until she did feel his cock against her stomach. She was panting, slowly losing her mind and needing more from him. “Too many clothes, I want to feel you.” She started pulling at her shirt, moving it out of the way. She wanted to feel his warm chest against hers. She wanted to be skin to skin. Ryan helped her, moving her body until she was lying under his. His skin an
