Her Mate Dilemma

5 - Next Morning

Alexandria 

    I woke up the next morning sandwiched between my mates, and it was the best feeling ever.  I could smell their sweet scents all around me, and there was no stopping my lips from curving up to form an ear to ear smile.  My back was pressed firmly against the front of Liam's body, whereas, Brady and I were almost face to face with the front of our bodies pressed against each other.

    When my eyelids fluttered open, my eyes were met with Brady's handsomeness, and I felt the sudden urge to press my lips against his full, pouty lips.  After a few seconds of debating, I couldn't take it any longer and did just that.  Instantly, his hand shot up to cup my cheek in his palm, as he returned the soft kiss.

    After I pulled my lips away from him, his eyelids fluttered open to reveal his beautiful baby blue eyes.  The corners of his lips curved up to form a wide smile, before he affectionately whispered, "Good morning, mate.  It's nice to wake up to you smiling like that."

    I trailed the tip of my finger down the bridge of his nose and cheekily whispered, "I still can't believe you are one of my mates.  I have always had a crush on you."

    "Same.  The one time I mentioned you to James, he was quick to remind me who your dad is," he groggily murmured followed by a husky chuckle.

    Instantly, my body shivered in delight from the sound of his deep, husky morning voice.  Everything about this gorgeous werewolf made me want to wrap my arms around him and never let go.  He had always been sweet to me.  He had a sexy, muscular body, and he was fun to be around.  I could remember pulling a few pranks with him and James, when I was spending time with my cousins at the Silver Moon Pack.

    I glanced at his full lips that were smiling at me, and I couldn't stop myself from licking my own lips, as I thought about kissing him again.  He still had my cheek cupped in the palm of his hand, and those sparks that were flowing between us felt so amazing.  

    I gazed into his captivating blue eyes, as I placed my hand over his and mumbled, "These sparks really are something else."

    He nodded his head at me and chuckled again, before he softly murmured, "Yes, they are."  

    A second later, he pulled me on top of him, and I immediately smashed my lips on top of his.  I passionately kissed my gorgeous mate, as I straddled his body, and it felt amazing.  

    Brady rubbed the palms of his hands up and down my back, as he swiped his tongue across my lower lip.  When I didn't part my lips for him, he slid his hands down to my butt and gave it a little pinch.  As soon as I gasped in surprise from the sudden pinch, he darted his tongue into my mouth, and those tantalizing sparks instantly made my tongue tingle.

    I was thoroughly exploring his mouth with my tongue and very much enjoying it, when I heard a deep voice groggily mumble, "That looks like fun."

    When I tried to pull away from Brady, he tightened his arms around me and continued to tease my tongue with his.  I couldn't stop myself from returning my full attention back to Brady and the passionate kiss we were sharing.  It felt so good to be kissing like we were, and I didn't want that feeling to go away.

    We kissed for a few minutes straight, then I reluctantly pulled my lips away from his.  I gazed into his eyes for a few seconds, then I cheekily stated, "You are a great kisser."

    Brady immediately started chuckling at me, as I rolled off of him and into Liam's awaiting arms.  Right away, Liam placed a few soft kisses on my neck, then he huskily mumbled, "Good morning, beautiful."

    I readjusted my body, so I could see his stunning gold eyes, and I was immediately drawn into them.  Green and gold had always been my two favorite colors, so it was easy for me to fall in love with his gorgeous gold orbs.  As I gazed into his eyes, I happily murmured, "Good morning, handsome."

    Liam affectionately nuzzled his nose against mine, as he playfully asked, "Is it my turn to kiss you like that?"

    "If you want to," I breathed out, as I enjoyed the sparks that were flowing between our noses.

    Liam wasted no time pressing his lips against mine, and I was quick to dart my tongue between his already parted lips.  While we passionately kissed each other, Liam pulled me on top of him, so I was straddling his body, like I was straddling Brady a few minutes prior.

    They were both phenomenal kissers, and I couldn't wait to see what else they were good at.  While we were kissing, Liam grasped ahold of my ass and gave it a firm squeeze, and that made me instantly moan into the kiss.

    I could feel my insides heating up with desire, and at that moment, I wanted to mate with Liam specifically.  I don't know what it was about him, but I couldn't even look at him without wanting to jump his bones right away.  He was the definition of sexy, and I wanted to slide my tongue all over his muscular body.

    Our passionate kiss quickly became more urgent with our tongues fighting for dominance, and his hands roaming up and down my back.  I knew I should pull my lips away, but I couldn't bring myself to do so.  

    In the back of my mind, I knew he would be going back to his pack, and I would be going to the Silver Moon Pack with Brady, so I wanted to enjoy the time I had with him.  When I had to pull my lips away from his in need of air, I laid on top of him and breathily mumbled, "I hate that we can't all stay together while I get to know you both better."

    Liam continued to soothingly rub his hands up and down my back, as he softly murmured, "I would have no problem with Brady staying with us at the Pine Tree Pack."

    I glanced over at Brady, and there was no missing the way he was pouting his lips and looking completely defeated.  I was quick to roll off Liam, then I laid my head on Brady's chest and snuggled against his side, as I curiously asked, "Would you be willing to stay at Liam's pack with me?"

    Brady didn't respond right away, and I was starting to think he wasn't going to, when he finally mumbled, "I don't know.  I need more time to think about that one."

    I lifted my head up and pouted my lips at him, as I innocently pleaded, "Come on, mate.  You know you want to stay with me."

    "I do want to stay with you, but I also have responsibilities at the Silver Moon Pack," he solemnly mumbled.

    "Okay, mate.  I understand," I assured him, then I laid my head back down on his chest.

    Brady trailed his fingertips along my arm that I had draped over his abdomen, while he absentmindedly mumbled, "Mate, I don't know how we are going to make this work.  I want you, but only you.  I don't want another male werewolf in the mix.  I want it to be just you and me."

    "I'm sorry, Brady, but I don't think that's going to be a possibility.  I need you both in my life.  I can't explain it, but I feel like there must be a reason why the Moon Goddess brought you both to me at the same time," I warily explained.

    "I don't know why the Moon Goddess does half the things she does, but at least she got one thing right.  We are meant to be together, Alexandria.  I don't care what anybody else says, you have always been the she-wolf for me," he affectionately stated, before he placed a soft kiss on my forehead.

    The three of us laid in my bed for a few hours and discussed a plan for how I would get back and forth between their packs.  In the end, we decided to have one of Liam's other pack members drive my car to his pack, then I could ride to the Silver Moon Pack with Brady. 

    After spending three nights with Brady, the plan was for him to drive me to Liam's pack, then I would be able to drive myself back and forth until we figured out how we were going to make everything work.  I secretly hoped that I would be able to convince Brady to accept Liam and become a mate trio, but it was quickly becoming increasingly obvious that it might never be a possibility.
