Our Surprise Mate

**~Hazel~**

Sex is intimate, but Tae cleaning me up after I noticed the aftermath is a different type of intimacy. When your body is no longer running on adrenaline and lust, you feel raw and vulnerable. I wanted to rush to the bathroom and clean myself, but there's no way in hell I will be rushing anywhere after what he had just done to me. Val helped me up so I could use the restroom while Tae changed the comforter on our bed. He just left to check on Lucas to make sure he was still asleep, so Val and I are lying in bed, facing each other and waiting for him to join us.

"Sorry about the blanket." I don't know why I'm embarrassed right now. I'm assuming this is normal.

"I know how you feel, don't worry. It didn't bother Tae during my first time either. To be honest? I think he loves it. He did well with not getting too crazy. I can't say he'll be as easy next time." So that was him being easy. Noted.

"I assume he was gentle with you last night so I wouldn't get scared about my first time?" She smiles and nods.

"I'm definitely not used to him being that gentle. It still felt amazing, but I'm a rough woman. I need a little aggression in the bedroom." I think a little aggression in the bedroom sounds exciting.

"I'll keep that in mind." The temperature in the room rises again. Okay, maybe it's just me getting hot and bothered for my beautiful woman. I'm not waiting any longer for Tae.

"Can you be aggressive for me, Hazel?" Val is so sexy and unashamed.

"I might need a little practice. Starting now." I sit up and push her back against the mattress. Her panties are already off, so that's one less thing for me to worry about. I spread her legs and get between them. Her eyes are telling me I'm off to a good start, and her grin tells me she's ready for more.

"You might not need too much practice." I grind my pelvis against her, and she moves her hips to make more friction. She goes to sit up, and I push her back down.

"Be still, Val. I'm busy." Tae is back in the room. I can see he's very turned on again. "I tried to wait, but Val is irresistible. Restrain her hands for me."

I get low and kiss the inside of her thighs. She smells so delicious I could eat her up. She's getting impatient as I take my time, but I want her to crave me.

"Haze, please!" She's nearly humping the air because I'm driving her nuts with how slow I'm going.

"I like to hear you beg for me, Val. Beg again, and I might give you more." My next kiss is closer to her groin.

"Please, I need you there!" My hands are firmly squeezing the bottom of her ass to keep her from moving too much.

"You need me here?" I go to the other thigh, and Tae chuckles.

"Tae, I'll choke you!" Val threatens, making him laugh more. She won't be choking anyone as long as her hands are tied to the headboard. I lift her loose shirt and expose her breasts.

"You need me here?" I suck her nipple into my mouth and pinch the other.

"I'm choking you both when you're finished. You know where I need you, Haze." She sounds like she's out of breath. I dramatically pop her breast out of my mouth.

"I want to hear you say it. You want me to do what? And where?" I suck the other, and she moans.

"Suck on my clit, Hazel Grace! And fuck me with your fingers!" She sounds like she's gone mad. I think I've tortured her enough for tonight. I make the same obnoxious pop sound with her breast and move back down. "Oh, okay. You should have been clearer before." She looks like she wants to choke me with her thighs. I don't think I'll mind if she does.

"I'm so getting you back for this." I believe it wholeheartedly, and I can't wait. I barely glide my tongue through her wetness and moan.

"You taste yummy." I dip my index finger inside and suck her juices off my finger. Tae looks almost as sexually frustrated as Val at this point. She starts to close her legs to squeeze me, but I swat her ass before pushing them back open. "Aht Aht! Be good."

She groans and tries to relax. I finally give her what she wants, and within seconds she comes undone. Knowing I am capable of making her feel this way is so empowering. "You're both in for a surprise."

I wipe off my mouth and laugh as I straddle her abdomen to untie her hands. Once they're free, she quickly pins me to the bed beneath her before I can even blink. "Wow, you're fast."

She licks her lips before mischief takes over her expression. "I'll deliver my revenge another time because we have a busy night. You're in luck."

Tae rests on my right side, and Val gets comfortable on my left. I know what's about to happen. They made me feel so good, but once I fall into a coma, I won't feel anything.

"Are you sure you're ready, Haze?" Val's playfulness is gone, but I notice she's been calling me Haze instead of Hazel, and I think it suits me well. I look into her eyes and take her and Tae by the hand. "Without a doubt. There is no reason to put it off." She kisses my forehead.

"The initial mark will be very painful, and our neutralizer will burn at first," Tae explains. I start laughing because humans are ignorant. "Why are you laughing?"

"Humans call it venom, not neutralizer. Why am I only now realizing how stupid it is to call it venom?" Gosh, I'm so glad I got out of Mortal Grounds as soon as possible.

"Venom is deadly. We wouldn't inject something harmful into your body. Humans are something else. No offense." Tae mumbles his last sentence.

"Yeah, no kidding. Thankfully, you won't get poisoned tonight. Only neutralized while your body changes." Val added.

"I have so much to learn. I can only imagine what else I have been conditioned to believe." They gave me reassuring smiles.

"That's okay. Carlie called it venom as well, and we still laugh about it. Now she calls it Lycan serum. You'll learn fast. I think Carlie will become a good friend to you." Another thing dawned on me. "Carlie's father was my driver to the gala. Her parents are so happy for her." I hope Carlie realizes how fortunate she is.

"I know it's a long shot but give your parents time. One day, they'll realize they made the wrong choice and won't be able to live without you." Val said the words I needed to hear. Of course, I would be willing to forgive them. Right now, I just want to be angry and go to sleep.

"You're probably right, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it." I take a deep breath and tilt my head to give them both access. "I'm ready."

I won't deny that I'm nervous as hell, and my heart is beating out of my chest. They lean in, kiss the pulse on both sides of my neck, and sink into my flesh. I squeeze their hands, and tears streak from my eyes, but I'm unable to make a noise. I want to scream, but I can't. The pain is unlike anything I've ever felt before as a burning sensation rolls down my neck and chest. They remove their teeth and lick the wounds clean.

"It's all done, babe." I hear Val's comforting voice in the distance, and my eyes get heavy.

"Don't fight the neutralizer. Just relax; we'll take care of you." Tae's fingers run through my hair as the world goes black.
