Babies for Nikki (53 page)

Please, Mate, tell me if you’re okay.
His worried voice whispered in her mind.

Don’t you dare stop, Butler.
Her voice was firm as she warned him.
I want you to love me just like this. You aren’t hurting me or the babies. I promise.

It was all Butler needed to hear. He pulled out and slammed back into her, losing himself to the intensity of their lovemaking.

Nikki moaned her approval, making Alex groan as the vibrations shot through his balls as they were nestled inside her amazing mouth. When she let them pop free, he sighed with contentment as she immediately engulfed his cock and swallowed it deep into her throat in one smooth move.

So good, Nikki.

His voice encouraged her as his hand gently stroked her black silky hair.

Nikki sucked and swallowed, determined that Alex reach his climax as she was about to. Butler’s cock rubbed against that elusive spot deep inside her with each inward thrust, and she was about to explode.

Butler pushed in one last time, reaching under her and searching for her clit, rubbing it quickly and sending her over the abyss into orgasm just as he achieved his own, sending a deluge of seed deep into her body. Nikki screamed her pleasure around Alex’s cock, gasping for air as he pulled free of her mouth.

His worry for her engulfed her, and she was determined to show him that she was fine and he didn’t need to be concerned. Reaching up, she pulled his cock back down to her mouth, pumping up and down on it quickly and swallowing deeply, catching every drop of seed that exploded from him.

She licked at his softening cock tenderly, petting his thighs gently as they both fought to catch their breath. She fell against him as exhaustion slammed into her body. She was aware of Butler pulling free of her body and the men carefully lifting her and placing her in the center of their bed. She felt Butler wiping her body clean with a warm, wet cloth and soon felt both men surround her and hold her tightly between them. Then she knew no more as sleep claimed her.

Butler ran his hand lightly over her body, settling beside Alex’s hand as he cupped her lower abdomen in his hand. They could feel their children moving constantly within their mate’s body and smiled.

“Could life get any better than this?” Butler whispered as he snuggled against their mate’s sleeping body.

“You’re going to say the same thing when these little ones are born,” Alex told him knowingly.

Butler smiled and kissed the top of Nikki’s head lightly. “You’re right,” he said finally.

Alex moved closer to their mate, chuckling at the way she was pulling at both their bodies. He loved the way she only settled down and relaxed when they surrounded her.

“We’re here, Nikki,” he whispered against her temple, kissing it lightly. “We’re not going anywhere. We’re exactly where we want to be.”

Nikki walked around the side of the bed to where Alex lay sleeping. Leaning forward, she kissed the thin white scar that marred the skin on his left bicep. Rubbing her cheek against it softly, she stood slowly, rubbing the small of her back as feelings of love flooded her.

I love you, Alex.

Her voice whispered in his head, and she was rewarded with the satisfied smile that immediately appeared on his face.

Walking slowly around the bed, she made her way to Butler, pulling down the covers to expose his side to her gaze. Leaning forward, she balanced herself on her hand beside his hip as she kissed the thin white scar that was his badge of honor from that awful day so many months ago.

I love you, Butler.

She found herself overwhelmed with emotion as she thought about how she could have lost both her men. She thanked the Fates every morning that she had been blessed with these two men. It had become somewhat of a ritual for her to bestow these kisses on them as they slept. It was her way of assuring herself that they were okay.

“Are you finished ravishing us while we sleep, sweetness?”

Butler’s voice startled her. Nikki blushed despite herself as she saw them looking up at her and chuckling softly at catching her. Both men reached out and took her shoulders in hand to gently pull her down to lie between them. She sighed contentedly as they surrounded her in their embrace. Their hands immediately went to her belly, stroking it lovingly as they did every time she was within touching distance.

“Do you kiss us every morning while we’re sleeping?” Alex questioned her, kissing her temple lightly before nuzzling into her neck. “I’m not complaining, I’m just wondering.”

Nikki hesitated, turning into Alex’s chest. She rubbed her cheek against him then ran her hands up his arm to lightly trace the scar on his bicep.

“I know it sounds weird, but I need to kiss your scars every morning,” she explained slowly. “I feel like I have to remind myself how lucky I am that you’re both alive and belong to me.”

She felt Butler against her back and sighed as she leaned back into his strength. His hands softly caressed her body before settling on her stomach. He growled with happiness as the babies inside of her kicked against the palm of his hand.

“It’s not weird at all, sweetness. It’s the same for us. That’s why Alex and I feel the need to touch you and our cubs all the time,” he told her softly, biting down on her shoulder lightly before releasing her and turning her body so that she was settled between them.

Alex’s arms engulfed her immediately. She felt instantly at peace as the two men pressed against her. When Alex’s hand caressed her belly lovingly, she turned to him and smiled when she saw the happiness on his face as he felt their babies moving within her.

“You don’t need to concern yourself with worry,” Alex whispered, kissing her temple lightly. “Butler and I will always be here for you. We’re destined by the Fates to have a future together. Besides, Butler is too ugly to kill.”

Before Butler could even make a move to retaliate, Nikki pushed herself up on her elbows, struggling to sit up. Both men reached for her immediately, steadying her and helping her to settle herself against the headboard. She turned toward Butler and reached up to frame his face with her hands, gently rubbing his cheeks with her thumbs.

“You are beautiful,” she whispered. “And I love you.”

Leaning forward, she kissed his lips lightly, biting at the fullness of his bottom lip. His responding growl made her smile. How she loved to hear his need for her. Kissing him one last time, she turned and faced Alex, reaching out and grabbing handfuls of his long, silky, black hair and tugging him toward her. Alex’s immediate growl made her smile.

“And you,” she said sternly. “You. Are. Fresh.” She pulled his face toward hers and leaned her forehead against his. “But I love you anyway.”

“That’s good, baby, because I love you, too.”

Nikki’s sudden gasp made the men freeze with fear. They watched her silently as she closed her eyes and breathed deeply. When she opened her eyes, she saw her two men watching her with equal parts worry and panic.

“I hope you don’t have plans for today,” she told them softly, reaching out to hold their hands over her belly. “I think our babies will be born by tonight.”

A scream escaped Nikki as their baby was pushed from her body into Drew’s waiting hands. She panted quickly, trying to take short, even breaths to calm herself and control the urge to push again.

“You have a beautiful little girl, Nikki,” Drew told her softly, turning to hand the baby to Carter, who waited with a sterile blanket to wrap the newborn in. “Get ready with another blanket, Carter. The next baby will be coming pretty quickly.”

Carter nodded and turned to place the baby gently on the examining table behind him. He checked the color and respiration of the newborn, cleaning out the baby’s throat and nose of the amniotic fluid before wiping her down quickly. The baby’s healthy cry made him smile. Taking the stethoscope from around his neck, he set the ear pieces in place and gently held the end to the tiny infant’s chest. Turning to face Martha, he nodded to her and stepped back as she stepped forward and placed a protective hand on the baby.

“Keep the cub warm, Martha,” Carter told her softly. “You can start cleaning up this little beauty while I go and get her brother.”

Martha nodded silently, tears falling freely down her face. She handed Carter another sterile blanket and turned to gently place her newborn granddaughter on the small examining table with the warming lights above it.

“On the next contraction, you’ll need to bear down again with all your strength so we can get this cub born,” Drew told Nikki, smiling up at her. “You’re doing good, Nikki. You’re almost finished.”

Nikki nodded and took a deep breath as the next contraction hit, pulling against Alex’s and Butler’s hands as she leaned forward and pushed with all her strength. Their baby emerged from her body, and Drew helped ease the cub into the world. He smiled and turned to hand the babe off to Carter’s waiting hands.

“You have a son, Nikki,” Drew told her happily.

Alex and Butler watched as Carter and Martha cleaned up their children. To say that they were overwhelmed with emotions was a massive understatement.

“Mate,” Butler whispered, unable to say another word.

Alex couldn’t even get out that one word. All he could do was gently hold her against his side and kiss her lips tenderly. When he pulled back to look at her, he saw the complete happiness that encompassed both Nikki and Butler. All three of them had tears in their eyes.

Carter and Martha came forward and gently placed their tiny babies against Nikki’s chest. Nikki’s arms immediately surrounded her children, and she kissed their heads tenderly.

“Thank you, Mates,” she said quietly, unable to look away from the tiny miracles in her arms.

Both men’s arms engulfed her carefully, leaning forward and kissing the heads of the tiny miracles before leaning their foreheads against Nikki’s cheeks so they could gaze at their babies.

Nikki was filled with the love and happiness that both men sent her through their bond. Soft words of thanks were whispered in Nikki’s head. She was thankful for the bond. The emotions were too much, too important for any of them to express. Instead the white ribbon of their bond tightened and tied them together irrevocably, filling them with love and hope for their future.

Nikki walked silently into the twins’ nursery, stopping at the doorway to survey the adorable scene before her.

“I don’t know what I’m going to do with you two.”

Nikki’s voice held very little exasperation as she looked at her wonderful men as they stood before her. Alex held their one-year-old daughter against his massive chest as he pat her back lightly, rocking slowly from side to side as he stood next to her crib.

Crissy looked so tiny in his arms, and he held her so gently. She was gripping her Daddy’s long hair in her little fist as if claiming him. Nikki nearly cried at the sight.

Butler was walking slowly around the room, patting their son’s bottom as he lulled him to sleep with his soft growls. Bryan moved slightly within Butler’s careful embrace, rubbing his face against his Poppa’s chest and opening his arms wide as if to hold him in a tender hug. He leaned into the purring sound that Nikki knew so well and enjoyed so much.

Both men looked at Nikki with concern. She stood before them, straightening the bodice of her nightgown as she looked at both men.

“What have we done now?” Butler asked, his voice filled with humor as he waited for her explanation. “Did we do something, Alex?” He walked toward his triad partner to stand by his side.

“Well,” Alex began softly. “I think she’s finally realized that we’ve gotten her pregnant again.”

“You knew?” Nikki asked, stepping toward them both. “When did you know?”

Butler leaned down and kissed her lips gently. “We’ve known for about a week, sweetness. We didn’t want to ruin the surprise for you.”

“Are you happy, darlin’?” Alex asked her quietly, unable to keep the worry from his voice.

Nikki was quiet for so long, both men began to worry that their mate was not happy about the news. They remained silent as she reached out and gently touched the heads of their two children, tenderly stroking their soft hair as she leaned in to kiss their tiny hands as they rested against their fathers’ chests.

“I think our babies are the most beautiful babies I have ever seen,” she said finally. “They’re sweetness and goodness all rolled into one adorable bundle. They’re the most precious gifts their fathers have ever given me. I love them with every little piece of my heart. How could I not be happy that you both have given me another baby to love?”

In that moment, a vision of Nikki holding the hands of two little boys about two years old as they walked toward the playground on pack land where Alex and Butler were playing with Crissy and Bryan filled Nikki’s mind. She looked at both her mates in shock.

“Twins again,” she whispered. “Holy crap! Are all my pregnancies going to result in twins?”

“Pregnancies? Are you planning on having more pregnancies besides this one, sweetness?”

Butler walked over to her and pulled her toward his body. Alex mirrored him, surrounding Nikki with his free arm. Together, they created a combined hug with their babies between them, cuddled in the middle of their love.
