Three Mates for Judith by Cara Adams Page B

the bedroom and into the main living area so he didn’t wake the others then called the Alpha. He felt really horrible doing it. The man would be tired, and he was newly mated to the woman of his dreams, Elsie, Judith’s half-sister. But it couldn’t be helped. Only the Alpha had the power to send a group of men to check the brownstone and ensure all Cherise’s favorite possessions weren’t disappearing into a moving van right this minute.
    “Good thinking, Nahum. But all is well. I’ve got a couple of men watching it, already.”
    “Okay. That’s all right then. I’m sorry to have disturbed you, sir.”
    “No problem at all. It’s better to be disturbed now and warned than not be disturbed and wake tomorrow to an enormous shitfest.”
    Well, that was that. Everything was under control, and he needed to catch some sleep. He and Nelson were on duty at seven in the morning.
    He returned to the bedroom and climbed back into the bed, leaning up on one elbow and watching his beautiful Judith asleep. She looked so small between his brothers. So dainty, yet with her knees slightly bent and one leg curled around the other, her hand tucked under her cheek, and a lush breast peeking out from under her crossed arms, so completely enticing as well. Everything he’d ever wanted and ever hoped to have was lying right there, sound asleep. And it was his job to protect and cherish her properly.
    No harm will ever come to you while I draw breath. I swear it, Judith.

    Naftali woke after only a couple of hours’ sleep. Nelson and Nahum had to go on security duty first thing in the morning, and he really wanted to play some more with Judith. The dungeon would be a much better venue, but he was sure he could organize something here if he tried.
    He went back into the living room and eyed the bookshelf. It was the kind with metal brackets bolted into the wall. They would be quite strong enough to hold a wriggling woman. Next he examined the electric cables to the two lamps on the end tables. Both were quite long, and even better, they were the multipurpose kind that could be unclipped. Perfect. Not that he would have given up if they were permanently attached to the lamps. He’d have just had to balance the lamps on the top of the bookshelf and hope they didn’t fall down at a critical moment.
    He removed the cables from the lamps, pulled a few handfuls of books off the shelves, and tied the cables around the metal brackets on the highest shelf. Then he walked silently back to the bedroom for the chopsticks and rubber bands Nelson had found in the kitchen.
    He poked both his brothers awake and handed Nahum one pair of chopsticks and Nelson the other. He held the little Ziploc bag of rubber bands himself.
    His brothers woke up fast, rolled Judith onto her back, and began sucking her nipples.
    Her eyes flew open, and she said, “Hell yes. Is it time to play again?”
    “I thought we’d have a game of Masters and slave. Are you okay with that?”
    She grinned. “Since I can go back to bed and sleep it off after you people return to work, that sounds fine by me.”
    Naftali hoped she’d be worn out from the game and more sex and ready to sleep. He’d do his best to exhaust her and then satiate her, and so would his brothers.
    Nelson and Nahum stopped sucking her breasts and trapped her nipples between the chopsticks. Naftali gave them each two elastic bands to hold the chopsticks tightly together, making pincers of them and trapping her nipples in their grip. Then he lifted her off the bed, threw her over his shoulder, and carried her out into the living room.
    Nelson and Nahum were right behind him and wrapped the electric cables around her wrists, forcing her to stretch her body out straight to remain on her feet.
    Once she was in position, the three men stepped back, and his brothers looked toward him to show them what he’d planned.
    “So, slave. When your Master asks you to do something, what should your
