Mating Heat by Jenika Snow Read Free Book Online

growl.
    “But then your mating heat came, and it was then we realized we couldn’t wait anymore. You were ready for us.” Xavier smiled.
    “I’ve always loved you two,” I whispered, and the low sound that came from them told me they were pleased with that. The door stopped me from backing up anymore.
    “Fuck, baby, we wanted to go to you as soon as you came of age,” Chase reached out, and I felt him stroke my cheek.
    I thought about last night, and what we’d shared … what they’d done to me. My cheeks cheated, and everything became focused. Yes, this was fast, intense, and was shocking all in the same breath. But the fact of the matter was it felt so right I could have wept.
    “But you just left after…” I didn’t finish speaking, my lust spiking again.
    “We knew springing it on you right after we’d claimed you might be too much. This is fast, we know, but it’s what we’ve wanted for a long time.”
     Chase kept stroking my cheek.
    “You’re what we’ve wanted for a long time,” Xavier said.
    “We wanted to prepare everything, figure out how we’d tell you.”
    I looked at Chase. He stepped closer, covering those last few inches that separated us, and took my hands in his. “You’re ours, Ophelia. We want you like we have never wanted anything in our lives.”
    “We don’t want to rush you, but we need you to realize just how important you are to us. We need to you to understand we won’t let anyone else have you,” Xavier growled out those words.
    “We wouldn’t have rushed it like this, but then we fucking smelled that other male sniffing around you, and we couldn’t stand back,” Chase said those words with possessive dominance laced in them.
    I looked between the two of them, so shell-shocked that I couldn’t speak.
    “This is why we wanted to go easy with you. We know what a big change this means, and we also know how controlling having a mate is. With you there would be no going back.” Xavier came closer and stood in front of me. Chase stepped to the side, and Xavier took his place, cupping my face with his big hands. “We want you to stay with us, to live here with us, Ophelia.” He stroked my mouth with his thumbs.
    “We want you to be our mate until we take our last breath, until there is nothing left of us,” Chase said beside me, his warm breath tickling my ear. I was lost in the sensations they conjured up in me.
    “We want you to be the mother of our young, to let us share you, love you, protect you,” Xavier whispered against my other ear.
    And then Chase took my left hand and Xavier took my right. “You see what you do to us?” They both placed my hands right over their straining, huge erections.
    “Say you’ll be ours,” Xavier coaxed.
    God, I was helpless to keep away from them.
     

Chapter Seven
     
    “We love you, Ophelia, so much.” I looked at Chase as he stepped closer. He brushed a strand of hair from my face. “Can’t you see what you mean to us? Was it that much of a surprise that you were ours?”
    It was then that I broke out in tears, my happiness and joy too much for me to contain. They both wrapped their arms around me and held me tight, knowing that this was what I needed from them. It was that pleasure, that euphoria of getting the dream I’d always wanted, the men I’d loved for so long, that had me breaking down.
    “When I heard the rumors that you’d found your mate I felt my heart break in two.” I buried my face against Chase’s chest and gripped Xavier’s hand, keeping him close.
    Xavier lifted my chin with his forefinger, and I craned my head back to look in his turbulent, expressive eyes.
    “ You are our mate. You’re the only female we’ve ever wanted to spend our lives with.” Xavier rested his forehead against mine. “Hell, baby, we haven’t even been with another female since we knew you’d be ours.”
    The shock filled me. “But I’d heard—”
    “All lies,” Chase said.
    “Rumors,” Xavier
