Addie (Pack of Misfits #1) - Raven Kennedy Page 0,67

it up to you and give you the respect you deserve,” he says, reaching for her again.

This time, she doesn’t pull away from him. She lets his hand graze down her arm, and she shudders slightly at the touch. For some reason, my possessiveness doesn’t include Penn or Lafe. Our quad bond is solid. If it were any other male touching her like that, I’d lose my shit.

“I’m so angry at you guys,” she admits, and it fucking kills me when her voice cracks with emotion. “And I won’t accept prejudiced pred assholes as mates. Not when they don’t accept my duck or my pack,” she tells us, forcing fire back into her words. “My duck is me. My pack is my family. And if you can’t accept that…”

“We do,” Penn says decisively.

She looks at him dubiously. “I’ve heard of mate bonds forming just for sex. Maybe—”

“This isn’t just about the sex. I think we all know that by now. If that were the case, our bonds would’ve broken easily.”

She casts us a look. “I guess so.”

Lafe steps forward. “You’re a kickass duck, and it’s not just about the heatwave sex. Our coyotes are so attached, they’ve decided stalking your compound at night is a good pastime. That’s something they’d only do for a true mate.”

Her blonde brows shoot up in surprise. “You’ve been coming to Pack Aberrant land?”

“Yep.”

She blows out a breath. Chews on her lips. Thinks.

“Let us make it up to you,” Lafe repeats quietly. He starts trailing his hand up her other arm, while Penn reaches up and tugs off her hair tie. He pulls the strands loose so that he can thread his fingers through her long locks.

Her body is flushed and quivering from where her back is pressed against the counter. I can feel her mate-call rising up, reaching out to us, and our skin ripples as we try to suppress our shift.

Before she gives in, she bites her lip and looks over at me. I see her vulnerability, and it kills me to know that I put it there. I told her that she wasn’t good enough for me, all because of cultural prejudices that I grew up with. But ever since she walked out on us, I’ve realized that none of that bullshit really matters.

I step up, taking up the middle between Penn and Lafe. I grab her jaw, letting my thumb brush along her neck. “Listen carefully, because I’m only gonna say this once. I’m still a predator. I don’t beg, but I’m begging now,” I tell her. “Please don’t sever the bonds. I’m sorry. Give us another shot.”

My heart beats a fucking mile a minute as I wait for her answer. Doubt crawls behind my eyeballs and claws at them, making them burn with pent-up emotion. I’ve never wanted something so much in my entire life as I want Addie to forgive me.

Instead of answering, she just watches me, and I’m pretty sure I blew the best thing that’s happened to us. I don’t even know if Penn and Lafe will be able to forgive me for it.

But then she swallows and her perfect lips part to speak. “Okay.”

My eyes widen. “Okay?”

She smiles and nods. All three of us practically howl in relief. Okay is now the best fucking word in the world.

“But you assholes owe me big time,” she says pointedly. “I’m talking epic dates. Multiple orgasms. Ice cream whenever I want it. And you have to swim in the lake with me,” she demands.

Penn’s lips twitch. “I think we can manage that.”

Lafe leans in closer and grazes his lips against her neck. She tilts it to the side so he can have better access. “How many orgasms are we talking?” he asks, letting his teeth and tongue skim over her pebbling skin.

“At least three per sex session,” she says breathily, barely able to keep her eyes open.

“Done,” Lafe says, and he turns to look at us. “Let’s make our little duck quack, shall we?”

I don’t wait another second. I slam my lips down on hers. The second we make contact, our bond practically bursts forward and sings. My whole body shudders, my animal howling in triumph and lust when Addie moans into my mouth and grabs the back of my head to force me closer.

Penn has his hands all over her, sliding up her waist and collecting her breasts in his hands, making her moan even louder. Lafe continues to tease her neck, and my mouth drinks her in,
