Free Melissa's Acceptance by Becca van

before.”
    Luke and Damian growled and when she met their gazes they looked a little pissed, but Damian’s stare was more intense and he even looked a little hurt. Melissa went back over what she’d said in her head and realized how that had sounded. No wonder they didn’t look happy. If what they said was true and she was their mate, they wouldn’t want to even think about her being with any other man.
    “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that the way it sounded.”
    Damian’s expression eased and he smiled down at her. “I’m sorry too, baby. I guess I’m just feeling a little possessive of you right now.”
    “We both are,” Luke said, and caressed a hand over her belly.
    Melissa gave an exuberant laugh. “It was wonderful. No, wonderful doesn’t even begin to describe how you made me feel.”
    “Glad to hear it, Mel,” Damian said, and when she saw his hands move down toward his crotch, she watched as he covered his cock with latex. “Do you want me, baby? Do you want me to put my cock in that hot, wet pussy and show you how much better I can make you feel?”
    Melissa’s just-satiated libido kicked up a gear and her pussy clenched, releasing more juice. She was about to open her mouth and reply but Damian placed a finger over her lips.
    “We both want to make love with you, Melissa. Will you let us fuck you at the same time?”
    Damian pressed a little firmer on her mouth when she would have replied. “Before you answer, you should know that if you let us love you, we are also going to claim you. Be very sure of what your answer is because if we continue, there will be no going back.”
    He finally removed his finger from her mouth and sat back between her thighs waiting for her to answer.
    Melissa wanted them to love her but she wasn’t sure she was ready to be a mate. She didn’t know them very well and if she went ahead with this, she could be setting herself up for a world of trouble. What if their wolves were the ones who wanted a deeper connection with her, but not the men? What if she agreed to this and when they got to know her more, they ended up disliking her?
    What if…what if…what if…
    Could she really walk away from them without letting them make love to her? Could she really walk out that door and not regret her decision for the rest of her life? She didn’t think so.
    “Do you think it’s possible to do this without claiming me?” Melissa asked the question swirling around and around in her mind and then waited with bated breath for their answers.
    “Honey, we’re werewolves,” Luke said. “Our natural inclination is to claim our mate when we make love. If that is what you want we can try, but there is no way we can promise our wolves won’t take over once we’re inside you.”
    “Luke’s right.” Damian’s hand landed on her knee. “The decision is yours to make, but we can’t promise our wolves won’t claim you. If you agree to us making love to you then you need to agree to us marking you, claiming you as our mate.”
    “Will I be able to go home if you claim me?”

Chapter Six
     
    It was then that Damian realized that Melissa didn’t really understand that when a werewolf claimed his mate, it was permanent. He sighed with resignation and removed the condom from his hard, aching cock.
    “What are you doing?” Melissa asked.
    “You’re not ready for this, baby.” Damian got off the end of the bed and walked toward the bathroom. He paused in the doorway and looked back over his shoulder. “Why don’t you get dressed and come out to the kitchen. We need to talk some more.”
    He walked into the bathroom, disposed of the condom, turned the shower on and stepped under the icy cold water. How long he stood under the stream of water he had no idea, but it didn’t help one damn bit. His cock was still hard as stone and his balls were aching. Disappointment filled his gut into a tight knot, but Damian knew he’d done the right thing by walking away.
    If he and
