Returned to Their Love Read online

  “Marls,” Cade began, “I’m afraid I’ll hurt you with my need right now. Give me a moment.”

  “You would never hurt me, Cade. I know that. Please!” she pleaded.

  “We can’t deny you anything, baby girl.” Cade smiled down wickedly at her a second before he thrust into her.

  She had forgotten how well-endowed both men were. Long and thick, and from the one time they were together, they filled her just right when they fucked her. A growl escaped her as she counter-thrusted.

  They settled into a rhythm. Cade would shuttle in, and Marlowe would pull her hips back. Then they would slam together, which sent shards of electricity through Marlowe’s cunt. Her body hummed, and the tingling was building again. Fire licked at her womb as Cade slid past that special spot in her pussy.

  Soon, flesh slapped on flesh, and a sloshing sound could be heard from her juices. Perspiration began to bead on them both, but Marlowe kept her hands on Cade’s ass, trying to guide his movements. Their breathing was becoming staggered.

  “Oh, Marls, I’ve missed you. I’m not going to last. Cole, help!”

  Cade growled the last part. Marlowe watched his teeth elongate as Cole reached between their bodies and began to rub her clit. Her orgasm began to build wildly as she watched one of her mates getting ready. Her own teeth grew, feeling strange in her mouth, but she knew exactly what to do with them as her climax struck.

  Leaning up, she sank her teeth into Cade’s neck where it met his shoulder and growled out her orgasm. The flames licked within her as the electrical currents raced out to every nerve in her body. Fire and pain struck the right side of her neck as Cade’s teeth penetrated her skin, marking her as his mate for the rest of their lives.

  Her orgasm stretched out as Cade continued to bite her. Fireworks exploded in her head as her cunt spasmed erratically until she couldn’t feel much anymore. Her senses left her finally, leaving her tired.

  She felt Cade withdraw his teeth from her, and she felt a slight loss. Looking up at him, she saw a bit of blood on his lips, and she knew it was hers. He was gazing down on her, a sardonic smile on his face.

  “Finally,” he said as he wiped her lips with his thumb. There was blood on it. “Now we’re mated. No more disappearing, baby girl, because now we can find you.”

  Heat flooded her face at his words. Embarrassment consumed her that she had acted the way she had. “I’m sorry.”

  “I know,” he whispered. “I’m not trying to rub it in or make you feel bad. I just want you to know that we can find you should anything happen to you. Just like you’ll be able to find us.”

  “Good.” She shimmied her hips. “I need more.”

  “Oh, kitten, I’ve got something for you,” Cole whispered in her ear, sending tendrils of delight to her still tingling pussy.

  * * * *

  It’s finally time! I finally get to mate with my woman!

  Cade pushed himself off Marlowe and then the bed. He disappeared into the bathroom, and Cole pulled Marlowe on top of him. She squealed at the action before she spread her legs and straddled his hips. Hot moisture covered his throbbing cock as her pussy lips fit over him. God, she felt so good.

  She leaned forward and pressed her hands to his pecs, letting her fingernails scrape along his flesh. When she dragged those nails across his nipples, he felt his dick jump beneath her. She giggled and then repeated the action.

  “It seems you like that,” she said with a smile. “I can’t wait to explore what else you like, but for now, I need you to mate with me.”

  “Then ride me, kitten. Be my cowgirl.”

  Rising up on her knees, she moved one hand down between them and grasped hold of his hard-as-steel cock. She rubbed it back and forth along her slit before lining it up at her pussy opening. When he was there, Marlowe sank down on him, engulfing him entirely.

  Her muscles squeezed around him as her heat bathed him. His eyes rolled back in his head at the feel of his woman sheathing him where he was supposed to be.

  Slowly, Marlowe began to move up and down, his cock nearly leaving her hot depths only to be consumed again. With each movement, she tightened her muscles as if she were trying to hold him inside her.

  He raised his hands and covered her breasts. She had gained some weight since she had left them, but it looked good on her. Her breasts were fuller, as were her hips. He loved it on her. He couldn’t wait to hold on to her hips as he fucked her ass.

  She tossed her head back as she rode him. He flicked at her nipples, drawing tiny mewls from her. She was so responsive.

  When she began to move faster and faltered a bit, Cole grasped her hips and held her close. He began to thrust up into her wildly as she bounced over him. Her cunt walls were beginning to flutter around him

  A ball of fire lit up in his lower back. He wasn’t going to last, and as if reading his thoughts, Cade came back to the bed and knelt beside them. His brother slipped his hand in to get to Marlowe’s clit. She growled at the invasion before she lowered down so she was lying on Cole. Her hips began to gyrate, and Cole knew that was from Cade’s manipulation.

  Cole felt as if his dick were going to explode. He kept one hand on her hip to help guide her, and he moved his other up to slip into her golden blond hair. It was silky and thick, and it smelled like vanilla. Her entire body spoke to his, spoke to his cock, and now that the ball of lightning had moved down to his balls, his body was ready to make her his forever.

  His teeth grew in his mouth. He held her head close to him, nuzzled her neck on the opposite side from where Cade had marked her, and then as her pussy tightened like a vise around him and she growled out her climax, he bit into her. His cock spewed his seed deep within her as he marked her as his woman and mate until he felt like he was going to pass out.

  Marlowe’s teeth sank into his neck, sparking another round of cum shooting from his balls. White sparkles behind his eyes had him absorbing the pain, and then she retracted her teeth. He pulled his from her neck as her cunt fluttered and bathed him in her hot cream. Her body sagged against him as his cock slowly began to soften, but he wrapped his arms around her and held her as he drifted off.

  Now, Marlowe was their woman, their mate, in every meaning of the words, their blood mingling together to stand together as a family.

  Chapter Seven

  “Murder? I didn’t murder my wife!” Danny shouted between the bars of the cell he was occupying.

  Jasper had come in to announce that they had found Marjorie Sanderson’s body in the woods, and of course, Jasper was expecting the man to lie. Who else could have done it?

  The last murder to take place in Passion was back in the 1880’s when a gold miner had bragged a bit too much while he was drunk about his findings. In the middle of the night, someone slit the miner’s throat and took off with what gold had been hidden away in the cabin the miner lived in. The murderer was never found.

  Growing up in Passion, everyone knew everyone and their business. Being the son of the sheriff, Jasper knew all about Danny’s visits to the jail. In fact, since Danny was there at least three to four times a week, or more, he had his own regular cell, like Otis from The Andy Griffith Show. However, Danny never checked himself in and always had to wait until someone let him out. Now, this would most likely be the last time he would be a guest at the Passion town jail.

  Jasper stood back from the wall of bars that separated the two men. Danny had spent the night there last night, just being released for an hour or so because of the damage he had done to Marlowe’s car, so he reeked of old stale beer and b.o. Jasper watched Danny to try to determine whether he was telling the truth. After being around the man so often, he had become in tuned to Danny’s nuances.

  “Yeah,” Jasper said with disbelief and a shake of his head. “I don’t believe you. What did she do? Fight back when you beat her?”

  Danny’s head snapped up, and his eyes narrowed. If there weren’t any bars between them, Jasper knew that the man would have att
acked him. Neither Marjorie nor Marlowe had ever admitted to being physically abused by Danny, but the signs had been there. Everyone in town was witness to the verbal abuse, but the physical couldn’t be proved without the two women’s admission. It had killed Jasper even as a teenager that they couldn’t do anything about the man except put him in jail for his drunken excursions.

  “Fuck you, Kingston!” Danny ground out as he sat on the cot.

  “Marli is coming in tomorrow morning to put in her complaint on the damage to her car. Do you think she’s going to want to see you?” taunted Dirk Jacobs as he walked into the cell area.

  “Fuck off!” Danny yelled.

  “Looks like she may be staying. She’s with the Younger boys now.” Jasper wanted to bait Danny and try to trick him up.

  Jasper had known Danny pretty much all his life, and from what he understood, Danny was one hundred percent human. But at the moment, with his hair wild and his eyes wide and frantic with his anger, it nearly looked like he was about to shift. The man was good looking, and Jasper could see what the appeal was for Marjorie to have fallen in love with him. Unfortunately, Danny was just a toxic soul who couldn't see the good in a woman and a girl.

  A wicked chuckle sounded from the cell. “She’s a freak, just like her mother. Did you know that, Kingston? They’re freaks!” Danny jumped up and came up flush to the bars. He grabbed hold of them. “But you know that, don’t you? Both of you? You think I don’t know what goes on around here? That woman tricked me into marrying her. She made a fool of me, and then she brought that fucked-up brat into the world, claiming she was mine! She was most likely fucking some animal and got pregnant by him and tried to pass off the kid as mine! She got what she deserved, sheriff. Freaks should be destroyed, just like her!”

  “What happened, Danny? Did she try to leave you? Why did you tell Marlowe that her mother just left? Why didn’t you kill Marlowe at the same time? You could have been free of them both. But then again, you should have left after you killed Marjorie. You could have disappeared and started a new life somewhere else. So why did you stay after you killed her?”

  Redness covered Danny’s face as anger overtook him. He was gripping the bars so hard Jasper was beginning to think the man just might break them. “Because she said she was pregnant again!” he shouted, spittle flying from his mouth. “I couldn’t stand the thought of another fucking freak in my home! Two were more than enough! I fucking hated that bitch! She made my life miserable!”

  It took all of Jasper’s inner and outer strength to keep from shifting and attacking the man who had made Marlowe and her mother’s life so miserable. Danny had taken a young girl’s mother from her and deposited her body in the woods and told Marlowe her mother had deserted her. Danny wasn’t worth Jasper losing his job over.

  Pushing himself off the wall he was leaning up against, Jasper asked Dirk, “Did you get it all?”

  With a quick sad nod, Dirk replied, “I sure did. This should put him away for the rest of his life.”

  Danny glared at Jasper before it seemed to dawn on him what had transpired.

  “Good. That’ll give Marlowe some peace of mind.” Jasper followed Dirk out of the cell area, closing the metal door behind him but not before Danny shook the bars as if he was going to be able to get through them.

  “Will it stand up in court?” Dirk asked as he sat at his desk. He put the cell phone he recorded the admission on in a plastic evidence bag and then wrote on the bag.

  Family was everything to Jasper. He had grown up in a loving close-knit family, and he was lucky enough to have one of his cousins working for him. Jasper’s parents were traveling now that his father had retired and were enjoying the rest of their lives. Jasper couldn’t imagine what Marlowe was going through right now.

  “It should. I want that man out of my town once and for all.” Jasper moved over to his own desk and sat down on the edge of it, facing Dirk. “I just don’t know how Marlowe is going to feel about what Danny said. It kills me to think Marjorie was pregnant when that prick killed her.”

  “He’s a coward. A psychotic coward.” Dirk shook his head. “As long as we make sure all the evidence is cataloged properly, we should be able to get him put away.”

  “I hope so. Marlowe deserves to know that her mother didn’t walk away from her. She deserves to be happy.”

  * * * *

  A cold wind was blowing later that evening. A storm would be arriving in the next day or so, but for now, Marlowe was bundled up in sweats and a thick warm coat as she sat out on the front porch. There were several chairs lined up on the porch in front of the French doors that led to the sitting room of the master bedroom. A fire was burning in the small fireplace that had been set up for romantic evenings such as this.

  Of course, Marlowe was still wrapped in the afterglow of terrific sex with her men. She had missed being cuddled in their arms, and even though she couldn’t change the past, she was going to do everything she could to make them happy. She had missed out on so much.

  Earlier, Cade and Cole had shown her the rest of the house. She had been touched when she found out the master bedroom had never been used before and that the guys had their own rooms upstairs. They would move down to the master, and Marlowe would take one of the three upstairs bedrooms for her office. She still needed to talk to her boss about working remotely, but she didn’t see an issue with it.

  She would miss her bestie, Andrea, or Dray, but Marlowe could always head over to Kalispell to catch a flight to see her. Perhaps Dray could come to Passion once in a while.

  It would have been nice to talk to Dray about everything that was going on at the moment, however, her bestie was currently on her dream assignment, Mt. Everest. No cell service there, but Marlowe was sure Dray was having a ball.

  “Warm enough?” Cole asked as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder as he sat next to her.

  Laying her head on his shoulder, she nodded. “Yes. I’m just trying to process everything.”

  “We’re here for you, baby girl.” Cade spoke as he handed her a steaming mug of hot chocolate. She wrapped her hands around it, absorbing the heat. “You have the entire town to back you up.”

  Sadness swept over her. All she was supposed to do was come here to take pictures, but so much had happened. She didn’t know what she was going to do about her father. Was she going to be able to face him in the morning knowing what he had done?

  “I can’t believe I actually believed she had left me. I feel so ashamed.”

  “Marls, you can’t think that way. You were young and vulnerable. Why would you not believe what your father told you?” Cade tried to reason as he sat on the other side of her.

  “I guess.” She was fighting the sadness and the grief that was threatening to overtake her. Her mother had been gone for nearly two decades, but now that her body had been found, the grief was renewed. “I’ll have to go to the funeral home tomorrow also.”

  “Well, you have us if you want us to do anything for you.” Cole kissed the top of her head.

  “Thank you. I’m glad I don’t have to go through this alone.” Marlowe looked around at the scene before her. Out in the distance, there was a large hill that sloped down to the river, which was now glittering with the colors of the sunset. Golds, oranges, and reds were mirrored in the near still waters of the river and were bright in the sky. The sun had disappeared behind the mountains in the distance, but the remnants remained for a while, slowly diminishing in brightness until the darkness overtook them.

  She had always loved this time of the day. It was a time to reflect and then the anticipation of the new day to come set in. This was Marlowe’s life at the moment. Reflect on what had been and anticipate the change in her life.

  On either side of her were the two most important people in her life now. She had turned her back on them, and yet, they had steadfastly waited for her to return. Love filled her heart that they had so much faith in her when she didn’t have it in herself or the
m. Even Coraline had faith in her.

  Taking a sip of the sweet beverage, she felt as if she were drinking liquid courage. Here, in this part of the world, nature was a big part of life. When needed, shifters let their animals take over, but now, Marlowe was letting her lust and love rule her.

  She handed the mug to Cole. “Can you put that aside for me, please?” Once he did, she slipped off the beautifully crafted wooden rocker to her knees.

  “What are you doing, kitten?” Cole inquired as he watched her with curious amber eyes. Shock registered in those same eyes when she put her hand on his thigh and began to slide it to the inner part and up toward his crotch.

  Smiling up at him, she moved her other hand up and began to undo the button and zipper of his jeans. “I’m embracing life. But Cade needs to move over here.”

  A giggle escaped her as Cade jumped up and moved to the chair she had vacated. He spread his legs in anticipation.

  Marlowe breathed in bravery for this wasn’t something she had done before. Sure, they had fooled around, but she hadn’t pleasured them like what she was planning.

  Once she had Cade’s jeans undone, she looked up at him. He seemed to understand what she wanted without her having to ask. He stood, and she pulled the garment down until it pooled at his feet, and then he sat back down.

  His cock was hard and thick, jutting out from a thatch of dark blond curls. His sac was full and heavy. She started at his knees and began to slide her hands up his inner thighs until her fingers brushed his balls. His prick had a mind of its own, and it bounced against his stomach. She used her fingertips to move up his shaft, feeling the silky skin that covered hardened steel. She marveled at the contrast.

  Leaning in, Marlowe used her tongue to follow the path her fingers had taken, from his balls to the head. She found the sensitive “v” beneath the helmet-shaped head, and she flicked her tongue there several times and enjoyed the groans she was causing. After a few moments, she continued her journey and moved up to the tip, and she tasted the drop of pre-cum that had appeared. He tasted salty and tangy.
