CALEB’S POV
Dad had woken my brothers and me up this morning mind linking. Ethan was the most annoyed.
“He knew that we had our first mating last night. I want to play with Izzy a little bit this morning. Why is he bothering us?” He griped all the way to my dad’s office, but the protests died on his lips the moment he saw my dad’s face. We’ve rarely seen him look this worried.
He nodded to us without speaking, and we all took a seat, side by side on the same couch we always sat side by side on. Someday this office would be ours, but I didn’t like to think about that. Ethan and Reese would do well with the responsibility, but I was pretty sure it would stifle me.
We sat in silence until Silvo slipped in. I could feel the anger radiating off from Reese; he didn’t like how Silvo treated Aunt Lissa nor did he like how Silvo allowed his daughter and wife to tr
IZZY POVWe were going to the Grand Caymen Islands.I was so excited. I’ve never been outside of the state before, much less to another country, and an island, no less. I knew I should be worried about rogues being after me, but I had a really hard time being serious about all of it. My friends came over and helped me pack.“Definitely bikinis,” Destiny said, going into my closet and coming out with a handful of swimsuits that had more string than fabric.“More,” Sami directed, sending Destiny back into the closet. I giggled.“I’m going to actually wear clothes, right?” I asked. Lucy shrugged.“Probably. Occasionally. But you are newly mated.” She gave me a sidelong grin and a wink. I rolled my eyes at her.“So, how was it?” Sami asked, bouncing on the massive bed and sitting cross legged. I looked
ETHAN POVThe plane bounced twice before landing on the runway. The pilot was good, and the landing was as smooth as he could make it under the circumstances.I looked over at our mate. She was clinging to Caleb’s hand, white knuckled, eyes screwed shut. She visibly relaxed when we landed, and my wolf finally calmed down. He was very excitable whenever Izzy was conflicted, and it made me irritable.I stood and offered my hand to Izzy. We had persuaded her to change out of her heavy jeans and sweatshirt and put on a sundress. It was 85℉ outside and the sweatshirt would have been stifling.She took my hand and my wolf jumped for joy at her touch. I looked at her, her red hair braided and pulled over one shoulder. Her dress was light blue with spaghetti straps and the color made her sapphire blue eyes pop. Even the flight attendant gave her a nod of approval which was something.&nb
IZZY POV “My turn,” I heard Reese whisper. I rolled over, off the pillow, and eyed Reese warily. Ethan grinned at me, knowing that he had turned me to mush. “Come here,” Reese said, taking my hand and helping me to a sitting position. My knees were still wobbly with the intensity of the orgasm that I just had, so he helped me stand up. “I want to fuck you on this chair,” he said, leading me over to an armless chair sitting in the corner. He sat on it, his shaft pointing to the ceiling. “I want you to take all of me inside you,” he whispered. I nodded. I wanted to please him. I wasn’t sure if I could, but I would try. I straddled him, putting my arms around his neck. He buried his head between my breasts, breathing deep, causing flashes of lightning to run down my body. I took a deep breath and positioned him at the entrance of my core before gradually lowering my body, impal
IZZY POVI lay on the bed, catching my breath, my arms flung above my head and my eyes closed. I could feel someone watching me so I opened my eyes to see my three mates, looking down at me. Caleb had a look of mild concern; Reese had a smile and Ethan looked hungry for me again. I giggled.“You wore me out,” I complained, sitting up. Ethan shook his head, impatiently.“There’s plenty of time to sleep. We’re in paradise. We have an entire island to explore and an ocean to swim in.” He took my hand and pulled me up off the bed. “What do you want to do first?”“Umm, the beach,” I decided, heading over to one of my bags that was stacked in the corner. Ethan pulled me back.“What are you doing?” he asked, a naughty grin on his face.“Getting my swimsuit?” I said, confused.Caleb threw back his head and
IZZY POVI was tackled and I fell heavily against the wall of the shower. The beast put four paws on top of me and began to lick my face.My shrieks turned to giggles as I fought to get up. The beast was holding me down and licking me vigorously as a mama cat licks her kitten. I was helpless with laughter.The door to the bathroom crashed open, the heavy wooden door torn off its hinges and landing on the floor with a crash. The huge gold cat, skittish, jumped off from me, out of the shower and out the open window of the bathroom.“What is it?” Reese asked, wild, looking around for whatever made me scream.I sighed. I knew I was going to sound like a fool and that the boys probably wouldn’t believe me. “There was a big cat in the shower with me,” I said, weakly, knowing how it sounded.Caleb was next through the door, skidding to a stop. “What is it?” he asked
REESE POVWe had truly idyllic days on the island. True to my prediction, Izzy spent most of the day wearing nothing at all, frolicking around on the beach. We swam together, laid out on the sand and mated every chance we got.“What about dinner in town tonight?” I suggested to my brothers. “We’ve kept her on this island for two weeks. We can take her to one of the resorts, have dinner and then watch some of the shows.”Ethan nodded. “I like that idea. You think it’s safe?”“There’s three of us watching her,” Caleb said. I could tell he liked the idea. He had been the last of the three of us to be marked by her but his bond with her was probably the strongest. He could feel her emotions before the rest of us could. I saw the pride in his face. He wanted to take her off the island and show her off his beautiful mate.
IZZY POVI woke up slowly, every muscle in my body aching and screaming. My eyelids seemed too heavy for my face and I couldn’t lift them to open my eyes. I drifted in and out of consciousness.“She’s no use to us dead!” The voice cut through my brain, and I struggled to focus. “How much of this stuff did you give to her?”“A syringe. It barely took down the guy that was with her. We figured they told us wrong, and she needed more.”“It’s wolfsbane, idiot. The guy that was with her is her mate. He’s bigger and stronger and a future alpha. Of course it would take more to incapacitate him.” The first person sounded mad.“You should have warned us. The only reason we were able to take down the guy is that we surprised him and got the syringe in him before he knew what was happening. She’s a fighter
IZZY POVMy body ached and my mind felt fuzzy. I rolled over to my side and vomited.Someone was expecting that. My face was caught and guided to a basin and my hair was held back. The hands were cool and gentle and not what I was expecting.I warily opened my eyes and looked up. An older woman smiled at me.“That’s normal. Your body is trying to get rid of all the wolfsbane that you were given.” Her voice was soft, and she seemed unconcerned as she took away the basin and wiped my mouth for me. I flopped back on to the pillows and tried to make the room stop spinning. After a moment, it slowed down.I felt vibrating coming from the left side of my bed, and I cautiously moved my head to see what was causing that. Stella was laying next to me, purring. I looked at the woman who gave me a slight smile.“She wouldn’t leave your side.”&l
