Mate Her by Jenika Snow

Lukin marked her first, right on
the other side of her neck, and then Thorque pierced
her shoulder. Twin trails of blood slipped down her creamy colored flesh, and
then Thorque was piercing her shoulder on the
opposite side. She’d become pregnant with one of their children tonight, but it
didn’t matter which one. They would all soon have a son from the woman that was
theirs.
    When Lukin and Thorque pulled away, and she fell back on the
bed, breathing hard and a sheen of sweat covering her,
Brawn got off once more. His orgasm came forth like a fucking volcano
exploding. She looked so damn beautiful spread out on his bed, her dark hair a
fan beneath her, and her eyes closed as she clearly absorbed in the euphoria
moving through her. Once he was sated for the second
time, he went over to the small bathing receptacle in his room, got a Getta hide cloth wet, cleaned himself off, and moved back
toward her. He gently washed her between her thighs, and the small mewling
noise she made was one of discomfort, pleasure, and sensitivity. He could sense
it from her as easily as if he were feeling the emotions himself. Once he’d
cleaned her as best he could he moved back onto the bed with her, situated Minka so her back was to his chest, and leaned down to kiss
the crown of her head.
    Lukin handed him a new cloth, and he took it to clean the wounds on her neck and
shoulder. Their scents, their very essences, were now moving through her body,
and saturating every part of her so that she smelled just like them. He didn’t
want to say Minka was a piece of property, because
she wasn’t. She was their cherished mate, but any other male that laid eyes
upon her and smelled her would know that she was theirs.
    She breathed heavily, her body
relaxed and sated, and very exhausted. She was a mere human, but she had taken
all three of them and given them so much. He clutched her tighter to him and
breathed out himself. He felt complete now, and although he’d always have the
need to be with her, it wasn’t this driving force inside of him anymore. Lukin and Thorque moved on the
other side of her, and Brawn let himself fully relax.
    Minka lifted her hand and curled it around his bicep, and then reached out to touch
both of his brothers. Lukin and Thorque had the same expression on their faces, one that probably mirrored his own. Minka was finally here with them, and theirs, and there was
nothing anyone or anything could do that would change that fact. They would die
for her, fight for her, and once they had a family they would truly be one.

Epilogue
     
    Nine
months later
    “It’s time,” Minka said on
a groan and clutched her swollen belly. It was nine months since she had first
been with Brawn, Lukin , and Thorque ,
and for all the danger that lay right outside this cave, she had never felt
more protected than she did with them.
    “You want to be in the sleeping chamber or the
bathing module?” Thorque asked, and for the first
time since she had been attacked by that flying beast when she first arrived,
he looked genuinely worried about her.
    She smiled, hoping to relieve his strain, because
she was scared, too, but anticipated this as well. “I’m okay, and I think right
now the sleeping chamber would be better.” She had never given birth before,
didn’t know what to expect give the fact one of these brothers was the father
of her baby. Carrying a child that was half human and half Hades had her
thinking up many different scenarios on how this would play out. Would the baby
be too big to deliver naturally? Her men were massively tall and muscular, and
if her child took after them it would obviously be larger than a human sized
newborn.
    Another contraction slammed into her, and she closed
her eyes and gritted her teeth. The pain was like nothing she had ever felt
before.
    “I can give you something to help ease the pain,” Lukin said from a few feet away. He looked just as stressed
as Thorque , and she smiled wider. “Maybe
