Wolf's Pack (Wolves Next Door #3) - Auryn Hadley Page 0,193

only if you want this. I'm not pressuring you, and if you're not ready, we'll back off. It's just that..."

"We love you," Pax said. "I know Trent and I took a while to figure it out, but that was just to be sure. Elena, you are so perfect for us, and we kept waiting for that thing that would drive us crazy. The problem, I suppose? Or to realize that we were just, well, distracted by your sexy body and the things you do to us in bed."

I actually chuckled at that. "And you're all sure?" I asked, looking at each of them. "I'm not trying to drag this out, and I'm sure you're all nervous, but each of you is honestly on board with this idea? Not pressured into it by Lane or Ian?"

"Or me?" Ian asked, sounding amused.

"You're the Alpha," I reminded him.

He dipped his head in acknowledgement. "Fair."

"No," Lane promised. "This was a group decision."

The other three nodded to make it clear they felt the same way. Hell, they'd asked Gabby's permission! Not my father's, but my daughter's, and now she was calling them all Dad, even if it was still a bit awkward and a little too intentional. That meant it would get there. We would get there, and tonight made it clear that not even the worst thing imaginable could tear us apart.

So I had my answer. "Yes," I breathed. "I'll marry all of you. I don't know how that works, but we'll do it."

"Two weddings," Lane told me. "One for us, here with the pack. That one comes first. Then, when you're ready, we'll plan one for your family and our human friends. That will be the legal one, and if we do them a year apart, you only have to remember one day."

"I like that," I breathed, rolling into him to steal a kiss.

Ian just chuckled and caught my hand, sliding the ring onto my finger while Lane savored my lips. I didn't stop. I didn't look away, because this was my new normal. These were all my mates, and not a single one of them cared what I did with the others. But when Ian released my hand, I had to look.

"It's perfect," I told him, even though I was only wearing the engagement stone. The yellow one.

"The rest comes when you promise to stand at my side and treat my betas fairly," he said. "My equal, Elena, and I think you've more than proven it."

"I like the treating us betas fairly part." Lane caught my hips and pulled me onto him, not caring that Seth had to shift out of the way.

But it wasn't Ian who tugged my towel away. That was Pax. "I am not too sore to do very bad things to you," he warned, catching Seth's eye to point at the side table. "The question is if you are."

Lane was quickly getting hard beneath me, and without the towel, the chill air and bed full of naked men was making my nipples harden. "Never too tired, sore, or dumb enough to say no to that kind of an offer," I assured them.

Seth groaned. "Oh, someone has to have her for me. I'm only good for lying here." Then he passed a bottle of lube to Pax.

"Elena, lift up," Pax said as he moved in behind me.

I did, and then Lane sucked in a breath. "Cold," he hissed.

Then Pax guided me down onto a very hard, very slick part of Lane that I liked so much. My body stretched around him and Trent sat up to find my lips, kissing me softly. I felt the bed shift as the rest moved so they could see, get out of the way, or anything else, but I didn't care. Damn, this man felt good inside me. Trent kissed me slowly, keeping me from looking, and then a hand moved in from the other side, sliding up my thigh, across my hip, and teasing the skin across my belly.

I looked over to see that it was Ian, now beside Lane. Trent had claimed the other side. Then lips found the spot between my shoulders, and I knew that was Pax. Seth just reached down to grab himself, meeting my eyes when I looked over. Then he stroked once. The sight of his hand sliding down his own dick was all the foreplay I needed - or so I thought.

Ian leaned in to flick his tongue across my breast. Lane's legs moved beneath
