Free Their Runaway Mate by Selena Cross Page B

question.
    Her cheeks tinted pink but she repeated the question, “How many women have you been with? I mean, how many women have you and Drew shared?”
    “Anna, why are you asking this?” Carter swallowed, not wanting to really have this conversation.
    “I just want to know and you want me to trust you, so I think a part of gaining my trust would be by answering the question truthfully.”
    Well shit, she had him there. “I don’t know about twenty or so,” he muttered, hoping she wouldn’t hear.
    No such luck, “Twenty or so? How? You and Drew couldn’t have been together that long, let alone lived that long to have over twenty women.”
    “Drew and I’ve been mated for sixty years.” Carter defended, and then wished he hadn’t blurted it out.
    She visibly paled, as she seemed to gasp in air. “Sixty years? How old are you?”
    Carter really didn’t want to be having this conversation. “I’ll be two hundred and forty-nine next month.”
    She looked as if she were about to pass out now. “And Drew?”
    “He’s actually a couple years older than me. He’ll be two hundred and fifty-three in three months.”
    Anna leaned against the table, then all together turned around and pushed herself to sit on it, “I need to sit down.”
    Carter was nervous now, as he rounded the table to stand in front of her. “Anna, are you alright?”
    “You’re two hundred and fifty years old Carter,” she said, her expression matching her deer in the headlights routine.
    “Two hundred and forty-nine,” Carter corrected. “But yes, I guess it’s quite old compared to human years.”
    “You guess?” She stared, indignant. “And when were you and Drew going to tell me this, when I was old and grey and you two still looked like you were in your early thirties?”
    “Well actually, when you let us claim you, you will become like us and stop aging.”
    “So I’ll become immortal?” Her innocent eyes looked at him with surprise and apprehension, and Carter felt an overwhelming pull to comfort her.
    He chuckled softly as his hands swept her knees, then pressed on them, gently to force them apart. He stepped between her legs and wrapped his arms around her, letting her headrest on his chest as he rubbed small circles into her back. This was the first time Anna had let him or Drew even come this close to her and he was highly aware of her body pressed to his.
    “Not immortal, my love,” his voice sounded lower and husky, even to him. “Just live for a very long time. We do age. It’s just a lot slower than humans.”
    He kneaded her shoulders and she groaned into his chest, making his cock strain against the zipper of his jeans. Gods, I want her so badly, if only Drew were here, we could take her together, he thought.
    Then his wolf spoke up, claim her without Drew and he can have her when he gets back.
    Did he dare do something as important as this without his other mate present?
    He had no time to decide, because while he was fighting an internal battle with himself, he felt the innocent, uncertain caress of Anna’s lips sweep across his, then press against him. He knew he shouldn’t return the kiss, but her lips were so sweet and succulent, he found himself taking control very quickly and deepening it.
    He pressed his tongue to the seam of her lips, rubbing against it, gently asking for entrance, even though his wolf was howling for him to be more forceful. She opened slightly for him and his tongue speared passed her lips and swept through her mouth. Oh sweet, merciful gods, she tasted so sweet, Carter groaned loudly, as his hands traveled to her ass and pushed her to press closer to him. She moaned as her center was exposed to his hardened cock and tangled her tongue with his. Slowly, he began to rock his hips against hers, while one of his hands slid up to take one of her breasts and started kneading it, pinching her hard nipple and rubbing away the sting.
    Her soft mewls were driving him crazy, he wanted
