Free Alpha's Mate by Jana Leigh Page B

over to the side.
    “Perfection.” Jaden sighed and smiled as he looked at the couple lying on the bed with him. Never had he felt such satisfaction. He could feel Cami's heartbeat through their connection. This is what it was like to feel your mate. He could also feel his best friend, and the thought of being this closely connected to him, made him hard all over again.
    Quin laid back and sighed. He felt a deep feeling of completion and wholeness. For the first time in a very long time, he was content, and he knew it was all due to Cami.
    Finding his mate, and bringing him together with his best friend, was more than he could have hoped for. When they were younger, Jaden and Quin had often talked about what they would do when they found their mate. It seemed a little ironic that they would share a mate.
    “Well, that should take care of it.” He said.
    “Take care of it? That is all you have to say, really?” She said sitting up angrily. The nerve of the man, she had the best sex of her life, and he made a comment like that.
    Jaden chuckled, because he had been thinking along those lines, but did not think it was wise to say it out loud. “Dude.”
    “What? I meant that we were now mated, and we would not have to worry about it anymore. There could have been a lot of problems if we had waited. Jaden, you know what I mean.” He said frustrated.
    “Oh really, well glad I could be of help to you!” Cami stood screaming at the men. “I really would have hated to be an inconvenience. Just let me know when I have to perform my duty again and I will. Until then I think I would like to have my own room.”
    “Cami, that is not what I meant. I am sorry.” Quin said quickly trying to appease his mate. He had never really cared much for the after sex snuggling with anyone, but at this moment he wanted nothing more than to curve himself around her luscious form and go to sleep.
    “Tough shit.” Cami said and stormed out of the room. Jaden jumped up to follow her and she turned around at the door and growled at him. “Stay.” She ordered, and then continued down the hallway naked.
    The guys heard a door slam, and Quin groaned and buried his head in the pillow. “It"s not what I meant.”
    “Dude, you are going to have to work on your skills. Our mate has one fiery temper, and I for one do not want to be on the receiving end of it. Couldn"t you have thought before you spoke?” Jaden asked.
    “I was thinking that now no one would be able to come between us, and we would be a strong Alpha Triad and all of that. It just sort of popped out. You know things have been a little tense lately, and then Cami shows up, then you. So far, I have had a total of 2 hours sleep in the last forty eight hours, and I was just relieved that at least that was done. Can you blame me? If the Rogues would have gotten wind that I had an unclaimed mate, they would have tried to take her. I have no clue who this asshole is, but he seems to have a personal grudge against me. I for one do not want Cami to get in the middle of this. She needs to be protected.” Quin said into the pillow.
    Jaden walked to the bed and sat down. He felt the same pull towards Quin as he did for Cami. He had since he was young, it was one of the reasons that he left all those years ago. He figured running away would be better than trying to explain to his best friend that he felt sexually attracted to him. Even now, he was not sure how the other man would feel if he showed any interest at all. He knew that Cami was their mate, but deep down, he also knew that Quin and he were destined to mate also. Now may not be the best time to bring it up, but Jaden was sick of all the secrets.
    He reached over and put his hand on his friends back. Jaden felt Quin startle at the contact, and smiled when he did not pull away. He caressed his back, and then patted his hair. Jaden closed his eyes and savored being able to touch Quin, finally.
    “Uh, Jaden?” Quin said turning over.
