Free Hidden Alpha [Alpha Mates] (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour) by Kasey Dean

them that they wouldn’t hurt her, but they genuinely seemed to like her. Maybe even love her already. She never believed in love at first sight, but she was pretty sure that this was what it felt like. Since the moment Chase walked into her classroom, she had done nothing but want him. She wanted him to love her and to make love to her. She needed to love him back the way a woman should love a man. With Devlin, it took a little longer, but once he explained to her why he had reacted the way he had at the hospital, she tried to give him the benefit of the doubt. He was trying hard to make her believe in him and trust him. Every time he was near her, he would pull her into his arms and tell her how honored he was to have her as his mate. He also told her how much he was already in love with her. He would thank her for giving him the chance to show her that he could be trusted and would take care of her.
    Devlin held his hand out to her. “Come here, sugar. Come join your mates and let us love you. Please.”
    Every time he spoke she wanted to jump and obey him. They had explained to her that it was the alpha in him that made her want to please him. But she knew better. It was the love that was growing between them. She wanted to make both of her men happy. The fact that he seemed to be giving her orders but always added the “please” on at the end made her want him more. If he had just ordered her to do something, she wouldn’t be so happy to oblige him. But he always asked, not ordered. That meant the world to her. For some reason, even as a child she hated taking orders from anyone. That was part of the problem with her foster parents when she was a teen. They were always trying to order her around, and she resisted them at every turn. Gavin and his parents were different. They always gave her the option of making up her own mind. They never ordered her to do anything. Gavin would even ask her opinion on something and sometimes defer to her decision. She shook her head. Gavin has no place in this bedroom. Forget him as he has forgotten you.
    She walked toward the bed and leaned down a little to take Devlin’s hand. Both males immediately rose up to their knees and brought her into their embrace. Devlin kissed her first, and it was a good thing they both had their arms around her, as her knees went weak. Devlin pulled away, and before she could catch her breath, Chase was moving in to take her mouth. When Chase pulled away, all three of them were breathing hard.
    Devlin’s denim-blue eyes looked into hers. “Please, sweet Amalya. Are you ready for us to make love to you and claim you as our own?”
    She had seen Devlin and Chase try to control themselves over the last few days and knew it was hard for them. Chase had explained to her that once a shifter meets his or her mate, it is very important for them to claim each other. He said it was ingrained in their DNA to mark their mate as theirs so no one else would come near them. Chase and Devlin had been fighting their nature for four days now, and she could tell it was taking a toll on them. Earlier that day, she had bent over in front of Devlin to pick up one of the boys’ toys, and he had tackled her to the floor and started kissing her. She thought he was going to make love to her right there on the living room floor, and he probably would have if one of the babies hadn’t woken up and started crying just as he had ripped the front of her shirt open. When he had her on the floor, she was scared at first, but something deep inside her seemed to take over, and she wanted him as bad as it seemed he wanted her. He had apologized several times for what he had done, but she had told him not to apologize. She had wanted him just as much. He had blushed at that comment, but said he had some things to take care of. He had walked out the back door, and when she went to find him after settling Anya down, his clothes lay in shreds on the back deck. When she had asked Chase
