This Chapter is from the beach Party through to now In Ryder's pov looking back. It will help understand the tiger mating process better I'm hoping.

Ryder’s POV
My Tiger is restless; I can feel him pacing within me. He wants our mate by our side not running off with her friend. He wants her so close to us, that we can feel her warmth when she is pressed up against us. He wants it so that we can nuzzle her neck, and run our hands over her curves. He isn’t the only one that wants that. I want that. Ryan wants that, his Tiger wants that too.
After being away learning to cope with our tigers after our first shift on our 18th birthday we spent two whole months straight in tiger form living, hunting, surviving, then only after four weeks learning to control our emotions and senses and shifting in between our two forms we got to come home. We came home to reconnect with our family and friends. The streak of tiger shifters that we have grown up, I thought that felt great to see them all again. But how wrong was I. Arriving at the beach and reaching the edge of the car park with Ryan we spotted Jake straight away sitting at a small bon fire with his two human friends.
I felt Ryan’s Tiger presences and mine rising to the surface as well. Looking at him, he growls “mine” and I know that it was his Tiger talking, his green eyes completely black. My eyes find her, she was sitting there with Jake laughing, the light from the fire lighting her face that was flushed from laughing and smiling. My dick hardened at the sight. Images start running through my head that Ryan was sending me. Her naked and in between us, begging for more and taking everything that we had to give her. Her own eyes dark with passion reflecting our own, or names coming from her mouth. Smiling widely I said to Ryan “No brother, Ours”
We stood and watched her for at least half an hour laughing and joking around with our brother and Kate before the urge got too much and we had to approach her. I could feel Ryan’s nerves radiating off him and his thoughts going crazy now wondering of she will want us. Ryan has been in love with her for years but our law among our kind, our streak of tigers is that you save yourself for your true mate or forfeit having a mate. Ryan begged me many times to forfeit our true mate for April. I wasn’t willing to do that knowing that my brother’s heart could get broken if she turned out not to be ours that without the bond she could walk away at anytime.
A true mate is what makes you breathe, what makes you function. They are the only reason that your world spins and the sun sets and rises and I wanted that and wasn’t willing to give it up on a hunch that Ryan had that she was our mate. I should have listened to him now, now that we know for sure that April is our true mate, it would have saved a lot of issues over the last few years. Ryan would dream about her all the time and project his dreams to me. Let’s just say our sheets were stripped every morning to be washed.
I remembered my parents telling us about the mating process and how it always started with dreams. The males always found their release by the end of the dream but the female never would find hers. This was so that the female would be ready to mate and would seek out her other half and make cubs. I never had these dreams only Ryan so I refused to believe she was ours and that it was just wishful thinking on his behalf. I didn’t want us both to be shattered if she wasn’t the one. That also means she would have been dreaming about us, knowing that we have been in her thoughts or dreams is very pleasing to both man and Tiger.
Half hearted embracing Jake and giving him a butt to the head is affection in the tiger world and a form of bonding but our focus was still on April. Watching the way she was appraising us, the next step in the mating process, her eyes drinking us in one at a time, her pupils dilating. To us another good sign that she was excepting us and was happy with what she saw. In our kind there are only male shifters and any females born are normal human, only males carry the genes to shift. And females born are extremely rare to our kind. So every male shifter has a human mate. Ryan and April’s eyes locked onto each other and I could hear him begging her in his mind to go to him but she was struggling against her own mind not too. The heart breaking expression on her face was torture to us both she had no idea what was going on and she was fighting her nature instinct to come to us. I had to stop it before she had a break down and we embarrassed her. Stepping in front of Ryan and I mumbled “Back off brother, we have to let the mating steps happen on their own, we can’t force this”.
I tried to lighten the mood with her by talking to her though I know I only confused her more, and she wanted away from us. The both of us helping her up was another step in the mating process she had to reach and touch us as well as look at us. That was almost my undoing; her arousal hit us both so hard that I knew we would both be sporting hard ons for the rest of the night. Watching her run away from us was the hardest thing I have had to do up til now.
No I take it back watching her on the dance floor drunk grinding with other males is the hardest thing I have ever done. I wanted to kill them, my tiger wanted to stalk them down, smell their fear and rip them apart and Ryan’s emotions were just as strong. Keeping my distance and chasing off that last boy I couldn’t believe she stuck her finger up at me and told me where to go. Did she really think those guys would give her want she needed? Only Ryan and I together could give her what she needed. Her arousal could still be smelt in the air.
Then watching Ryan and her move together, the way they became one. Feeling what he was feeling through our connection as amazing but when he tried to skip some of the mating steps and went to mark her I had to intervene and stop him. The steps are there for a reason to ensure our mate accepts us completely like we except her. Skipping these steps will ensure that our mating bond with her isn’t 100% complete and no where near as strong as what our tigers need it to be.
The hurt look in April’s eyes will stay with me for ever and I felt like a prick. She is in need and we weren’t providing for her needs as a mate should my Tiger was pissed. Too many people were around and it couldn’t happen like that. I tried to talk to her but she was shutting down from us and when she asked for a lift, I knew it was our chance to be alone with her and her guard would hopefully drop because it was just the three of us. I knew something would happen when we got her home but was I wrong about that. I only climbed in to the back of the car to be near her, to offer her comfort that mine and Ryan’s tigers were calling out for us to do.
When she climbed on my lap and patted and kissed me, I was home, she was my home and no other place or person would ever come close to that feeling right then. Feeling it through Ryan’s connection was one thing but experiencing it for my self was a whole different thing. I felt sorry for Ryan in that moment. I then understood why he longed for April so bad because he was feeling this for so long, my poor brother.
Things between us escalated quicker than I had ever imagined. When I rid of her upper clothes to reveal her beautiful pale skin, the lite dusting of freckles that coated her shoulders and her amazing breasts that sat high and firm on her body that I knew I had to taste and feel them. My Tiger and I didn’t like that she went to hide them from our eyes and was grateful to Ryan for joining us at that moment and distracted her. The feel of her grinding against me was indescribable knowing that one day our bodies will be joined in that spot, that we would become one, I almost came apart with that thought and watching her take control and start riding Ryan’s hand, showing us what she wanted, what she needed from us. I had to sit back and watch her, her face flushed, pure look of pleasure across it. Her moans, the feel of her hands on shoulder, my connection with Ryan helping me feel what she felt like to have his fingers inside her, the intoxication smell of her arousal. I was in heaven and my tiger was purring with happiness. Between our connection we sent her over the edge but mainly that was Ryan who should take ultimate satisfaction in that and then he followed her over the edge. Ryan coming in his pants was a shock to me, she hadn’t even touched him and he came apart because he had given our mate what she needed. Sheer happiness, pride and contentment where coming from him and his Tiger when he collapsed next to me in the back seat.
When we got April back to her house neither of us wanted to leave her but we had to talk to our parents about the mating and we had to get in contact with April’s dad as well and let him know. He is a shifter to but we all know that April doesn’t know he is. Ryan laid on the bed next to her and I knew he was drinking in her beauty. To us she was perfect in every way. The perfect mate to us, the perfect mother to our cubs and now she was carrying our scent all over her and our love bites where all over her warning off other males. The Possessiveness of our Tigers are very strong when it comes to their mate and even stronger during the mating stage.
Our parents were ecstatic about our mate especially mom, April will be her first daughter and she has always had such a soft for her. Mom always talked about how brave she was going through her mum’s death, moving countries, then losing her grandparents and having her dad pull away from her emotionally and always away with work. Our dad’s loved that she took everything in she stride, never judging like many humans do when they learn of my parents three way relationship also that she is quick to laugh and make jokes like they always do.
April’s dad came straight home and was happy for us through it was easy to see that he was sad as well, mom seemed to think that he is now realising that he has missed out on watching his little girl grow up but being a Tiger himself he knows that she will be taken care of for the rest of her life or ours. I can still remember his words to us “Just remember April is just like her mother, beautiful strong and caring but she also over thinks things. You may think you have made a break through with her tonight but when she is thinking clearly she will more than likely put a guard up to keep you away”. I didn’t take him serious until breakfast the next morning, when we could her emotional coming off her and I knew she was embarrassed and ashamed of what we did. But I refused to let it get to me, Ryan was sad and hurting knowing April felt that way, he wanted her to feel how he felt, how we both felt about her and last night, over the moon happy.
Mum and Jake didn’t help things but I knew that was because they were both happy about the mating. April’s dad was struggling and I knew he was sensing her emotions as well.
When Ryan fed her that completed another major step in the mating. Providing for our mate and having her take our offering. To have you mate except food from you is a major step and a highly arousing step for Tigers. To us it means that they are excepting us and know that we can provide for their needs and our future cubs.
The images that blasted through my head when I learnt that she was getting waxed were intense, but the thought of another person touching her angered my Tiger. Then Ryan’s imagines hit me, April naked lying on our bed, tiny little bit of hair or none at all, his face going down to rub against it. To smell, lick and tasted her had me painfully hard and him already being so aroused from feeding her he came in his pants again imagining his name coming from her mouth like it did when they was dancing. His Tiger was very happy and wanted to make fantasy reality. Then we remembered our family was sitting at the table. Mum was shocked, Jake thought it was hilarious and well the same thing happened to our dads when they met mum so it started an inside joke for them. At least Jake rush Kate out of the room when she picked up on what happened.
I’m starting to feel that Ryan is pushing through the mating process and he is just taking me along for the ride and my Tiger and I don’t like that at all. So when we have her alone again it will be our name coming from her beautiful mouth and it will be me cuming in my pants. The next couple of steps in the mating I will be taking, to show her I want this just as much as Ryan, unfortunately one of those steps will be her learning the truth about what we are and I honestly don’t know how that will go.
