Sara's Mates by Becky Wilde

the door to enter the room.
    “I tried talking to you two; but every time I did you would seduce me and we'd end up in bed. I tried to tell you I needed more to do. It became obvious your needs become before mine. I decided to ask Tessa and Melissa if they needed me to do anything about the place. Tessa went to Lucien and he came up with the solution of me working for the Alphas. I do all the legal work for the security company. I'm sorry if that hurts you Tony and Chase. It became frustrating when neither of you would listen to me when I tried to voice my boredom to you. I decided to take matters into my own hands and resolve the situation.”
    Chase moved around her desk then squat down on his 69
    haunches at the side of her chair. He caressed her hair and sighed softly in regret. Sara was absolutely right. Neither he nor Tony had listened to their mate’s needs or desires.
    They had just shut her up using sex as the main focus in their relationship.
    “I'm sorry Sara; especially for not listening to you.
    But why did you feel the need to hide the fact that you were working for Lucien from us? You could have told us before we discovered for ourselves what you were doing.”
    Sara looked up with a slight glare and asked, “Could I? Would you have listened to me? Have you listened to anything I've said to you so far?” Sara paused and admitted quietly to them. “Look, I know what I am to you two; how important I am in your lives. You've both proven that to me from day one.” Sara turned away from their loving eyes and looked down with a slight sigh. “I have some work to catch up on, so please let me get on with it.” Sara turned her face from Chase to stare at the computer monitor blankly.
    Chase watched their mate for a few seconds, stood to his feet and walked out of the study. Tony followed him.
    “She's right you know. All we've done is bed her at every opportunity. We haven't given her a chance to talk to us much and we haven't listened. She's not happy at the moment Chase and it’s our fault,” Tony sighed in frustration.
    “I'll concede she's not happy at the moment; but she could have come to us. I know we're not around during the day. Sara has to understand that we still have the security business to see to. We can't spend every waking minute with her.” Chase pointed out.
    “No we can't but when we are with her all we do is seduce her back into our bed. She has never complained about our time away from her, in fact, she has been a good sport about our work. But when have we actually sat down and talked to her? Really listened to her Chase? It's our 70
    fault if she's not happy. We have broken the unspoken law of putting our mate above all things, including our physical needs. We need to spend some time with our mate and actually listen to what she is saying to us rather than just placating and seducing her into silence,” Tony said thoughtfully.
    “When did you become so philosophical brother?”
    “Since I realized we are in jeopardy of pushing our mate away. There is nothing stopping her from leaving us brother.”
    “Yeah I know, you're right Tony,” Chase gave a frustrated sigh, running a hand over his face. “We haven't given Sara much to be happy about have we?”
    “No.”
    “All right so how do we go about getting our mate back? Making her happy?” Chase asked motivated by a plan of action.
    “We give her the space she wants for now and then we court her. We take her on dates. Shower her with flowers and chocolates and then we ask her to marry us and have a human ceremony like her sister had. Isn't it every woman's fantasy to have a dream wedding?” Tony asked with a grin.
    “I think you're onto something brother. Let's start planning.” Chase replied with an answering smile.

Chapter Nine
    Sara had taken up residence in Tessa's guest room. It was her fourth day night away from her mates. She felt as if she was empty inside. Like a huge gaping hole had replaced her heart.
