Her full lips were soft and pliable as
he greedily pushed his tongue past them, eager to lick every inch
of her. She tasted like warm honey and everything sweet in life.
Selena gripped his waist frantically as he deepened the kiss,
exploring the depths of her delicious mouth with unmatched
fervor.
Every inch of her fit perfectly against
him, leaving no doubt in his mind she belonged to him—or would soon
enough. Her pulse pounded in her chest, beating in rapid synchrony
with his. All his senses focused on her as he ravaged that
delicious mouth, thankful Cory had left it untouched for him to
discover first. Though he knew the other wolf had been tempted. Her
arousal cloaked them, as his hands trailed over smooth, bare
curves.
The air shifted suddenly and he felt
Cory’s solid presence a moment before the other man placed his
roughened hands on his shoulders. The familiar touch shocked him
from his insatiable hunger allowing control to temporarily
reestablish.
On a growl he pulled away from the
sensual poison of her lips and drew a ragged breath. Her satisfied
sigh filled the silent air before Cory’s smooth voice wrapped
around them.
“I can leave you two be.”
He shivered as Cory’s fingers weaved
down his spine and over his ass but turned to reach for his lover’s
hand before he could walk away. “No, stay.” He stated much like his
plea to Selena only moments ago.
Cory, however, wasn’t drugged by the
mating pull. He cupped his hand on Zane’s shoulder and pushed him
lightly away as he shook his head to decline. “She’s not
ready.”
“Ready for what?” Selena whispered as
she slipped her hand out of his. A noxious fear, similar to the one
they had tracked her by last night, filled the space between
them.
Groaning, he raked a hand through his
short hair before blowing out a frustrated sigh. This was just
fucking purr-fect. Stepping slowly toward Selena, he bit back an
agitated growl when she backed further away until bumping into the
bed once more. He stopped, both seeing the fear in her widened
green eyes and sensing her sudden tension.
Zane retraced his steps back to Cory,
horrified his mate could possibly fear him. Cory smoothed a hand
over the small of his back, not nearly enough to compensate. The
notion sickened his stomach as Selena repeated louder now, “Ready
for what, Zane?”
She grabbed the nearest piece of
clothing—his oversized t-shirt—and threw it over her tempting body.
“What’s Cory talking about?” she demanded, her anger masking any
lingering desire. Not that he scented any.
Zane sensed Cory’s solid presence
beside him, steady but doubtful. Selena needed the truth in its
entirety right from the beginning. But evidently giving it to her
meant he needed to convince both his mates it would
succeed.
Failure and the resulting downfall of
the Pack was not an option for him.
“You have nothing to be afraid of,
Selena. I promise you can trust me.”
Green eyes closed momentarily as a soft
breath escaped her full lips. Lips still swollen from his harsh,
demanding kiss. Lips not nearly explored enough. She opened her
vibrant eyes and stared at him through partially lowered, long
lashes. “I trust you some. You saved my life last
night.”
The fear dissipated into the air a bit.
Good. Of course she didn’t know—yet—that his sole purpose was to
bring her pleasure, but his wolf might have tore from its cage had
she continued to be frightened of him.
Turning, he reached for Cory’s receding
hand. The other dominant male shook his head, his shoulder length
hair brushing the sides of his face. Fighting the urge to demand
his touch, he waited, pleading with his eyes for his lover to
accept his decision. He would not take Selena as his mate alone. He
had no intention of isolating Cory, the man meant too much, was
ingrained into his soul too deep. His plan would work.
On a low growl, Cory acquiesced. The
second their roughened hands clasped together, he pulled Cory to
his side, reveling in the comfortable slide of their bodies and
turned back to the fiery healer. He smiled. “I asked Cory to stay
because he’s my partner.”
Uncertainty flashed across her emerald
eyes and she wrapped her arms tight around her chest, the sight of
her petite frame dwarfed in his shirt intoxicating. He hungered to
lick every sinful inch of her.
“Oh.” Her voice was soft, his true
meaning still eluding her. When Cory smoothed a hand across his
bare chest, wrapping around his side to press close, she took a
step back, recognition dawning instantly. “Oh!”
Heat colored her high cheeks as she
worried her delicate lower lip between white teeth. “But you just
kissed me.”
Zane watched the struggle to piece it
all together play across her face even as he sensed Cory
withdrawing from him. Not physically yet but emotionally he was
locking himself up. He tugged him harder to his side, not willing
to part with either of them. Yet.
Ever.
“I kissed you because you, love, are my
mate.”
She shook her head, golden strands of
hair swishing around her. Her fists clenched against her stomach as
if the very concept appalled her. Anger spiked in his
gut.
“Mate? That’s impossible. I’m
human.”
Surprisingly it was Cory who ground him
back in reality when he raked his nails over the bare flesh at his
waist, soothing the panic of his beast and restoring balance.
Knowing his lover could reassure him even when Cory doubted the
viability of his mating threesome plan, squeezed his heart like
only Cory could.
He kept his gaze on Selena, determined
for her to understand. Determined to return to the desire she
suddenly kept carefully concealed. “Shifters and humans mate and
marry all the time.”
She fingered the hem of his t-shirt
while pondering that truth, the sight of her near his bed
delectable. His cock stiffened in anticipation, his body wound
tight with roaring hunger. Selena was his mate whether she believed
it yet or not. Eventually he would have her in his bed.
But not without Cory which meant
dealing with ghosts from his lover’s past he hadn’t
anticipated.
“But you just admitted you’re
gay.”
Selena blushed when she spoke and he
took a step forward, aching to lick the heated trail down her neck.
“And I love Cory very much, have now for years.” When Cory tugged
the waistband of his jeans to slow his movement, he pulled the
other wolf right along with him, his desire to touch Selena raging
out of control.
With a reverent stroke, he brushed his
fingers through her silken hair, pushing the wavy length off her
shoulder. “However, no matter how strong my feelings for him are, I
cannot ignore the bond between us.”
Eyes the color of lush summer grass
searched his. He massaged the nape of her neck, needing to touch
her, nearly losing himself in the sight and smell of her. Dear God
she was perfect. And she was his. It was a strange mixture of
desire—one he’d never imagined having with anyone other than
Cory.
“Can I ignore it?”
Cory growled beside him before her
denial even registered. Zane stroked his lover’s back, the contact
an attempt to soothe them both. The notion she might not feel the
same drugged pull left him unsettled. He dropped his fingers from
her shoulder while Cory slipped one hand beneath the waistband of
his jeans to slide over his ass.
“Do you really want to?” Cory asked
with that rough seductive whisper that always tightened his balls.
The same one that promised pleasure was in short order.
Thankful his lover was willing to fight
for this, for him, Zane waited to see what he would do. Perhaps he
misinterpreted Cory’s hesitation earlier. Perhaps the tragedy of
their past wasn’t skewing his willingness to love Selena with
him.
“When you said I wasn’t ready, you were
implying to be with both of you.”
The rose-colored heat now spread across
her cheeks and neck, dipping out of sight beneath the collar of his
t-shirt. He itched to tear it off, to expose her soft, supple skin
to their view. Cory stepped in front of him, leaning back to rub
his ass against Zane’s cock, the denim barrier frustrating the hell
out of him.
“Yes.” Cory finally answered
Selena.
Zane’s fingers dug at Cory’s waist,
prolonging the teasing moment, taking the edge off his hunger for
Selena. But the second he peered over his lover’s shoulder into her
soft eyes, the burn was back, ripping through his very core until
he didn’t think he could resist the temptation any
longer.
“How can you be so sure I even want to
stay here with one of you?”
Her low whisper roared in his sensitive
ears, but instead of dampening his desires her words ratcheted his
need even hotter and he pushed closer until all that stood between
her and him was Cory’s muscled frame.
“You haven’t spent much time around us
wolves have you?”
Both Cory’s raw, masculine scent and
Selena’s gentle perfume tangled to intoxicate him.
“Why do you say that?”
She pushed her fingers behind her and
he watched as they crawled across the wall, enjoying the thought
she had nowhere left to go. “Because otherwise you’d know that we
never back down from a challenge, especially one as succulent as
you.”
Chapter Four
Selena couldn’t close her gaping mouth
fast enough. “I—”
Two wild pairs of hungry eyes devoured
her with heated glances, their looks all but promising sinful hours
to come. Feeling exposed despite the almost knee-length t-shirt,
she worried her lower lip and struggled to contain the heat racing
through her blood.
And ignore the moisture now coating the
tops of her thighs.
“What’s the matter, little one? Wolf
got your tongue?” Cory moved to her right, his skilled fingers
caressing past the thick material of the shirt until he reached
bare thigh. Then he slipped them up a long inch, touching the
moisture dampening her thighs and smiling.
At the same time, Zane moved to her
other side, his hands stroking the blush she knew covered every
inch of her face. His touch sizzled, burned hotter than anything
she’d ever known. His fingers were callused, and his strokes firm
but the way he learned her face with each measured caress cracked
at her resolve to—what?
Suddenly she couldn’t remember her
reasons for not wanting to revel in this erotic encounter. If the
tenderness she witnessed in these men earlier wasn’t enough, the
fact that they seemed bent on worshipping her pushed her clear over
the edge of craving everything they wanted to offer.
She whimpered when Cory smoothed a
finger across the slick folds of her sex, Zane using the
opportunity to dip closer and taste her lips once more. The
thoroughness with which they touched her bordered on out of this
world possession, her senses screaming from the erotic overload.
Still that didn’t stop her from greedily drinking in Zane’s taste,
running her tongue past his lips and over his teeth.
With each passing second she grew
hungrier, needier, as both men continued to assault her senses. The
more she pushed at Zane, the rougher he grew, nipping her lips,
grazing over her cheek and neck. Cory moved his thumb higher to toy
with her clit, and she bucked against them both aching for a touch
more satisfying.
She tilted her head toward the ceiling,
dragging much needed air into her starved lungs as four hands lit
her body on fire. Her skin sizzled as if on fire, the burn
spreading outward to encompass every inch of skin that touched
theirs.
Zane tugged hard on her nipples the
same moment Cory’s finger sunk deep inside her hot, wet core. She
whimpered and sagged against the wall, the pleasure buckling her
knees. It was as if the duo acted as one, their attentions to her
pleasure single minded.
Teeth scraped over the tender flesh of
her breasts, Zane’s hot mouth sucking one tightened peak in. Cory
added a second finger to her pussy, his thumb more forceful with
the erotic circling of her clit. She began to pant in earnest now,
need and fire colliding deep in her belly until there was nothing
left but to explode.
Selena screamed as the first orgasm
crashed through her, an alien sensation after ages of dry spells.
Her body buckled against Zane’s, held up by his hands while he
continued to devour her sensitized breasts. Only when the last wave
of pleasure subsided did either man slow their
devotions.
“So maybe I want both of you after
all,” she sighed.
Zane growled against her throat,
flicking his tongue in a sinfully erotic move over her throbbing
pulse point. Just when she thought she’d combust a second time with
a few more seconds of their duo of pleasurable tactics, Cory pulled
his hands away and stepped back. She scrambled forward to pull him
back but failed.
“Right now you should be with just one
of us. As your mate, Zane’s the obvious choice.”
It didn’t matter that she’d only held
the attention of these two men for mere hours, as Cory stepped
further away from where she needed him to be her heart trembled
over the sudden loss. Zane’s heat enveloped her as he pulled her
tight to his chest, easing the shocking change of
momentum.
