“Hey, save the show for your bedroom,” Ruby cut in. She laughed and shook her head.
Bobby and Diana broke apart. Diana’s face was red as a tomato, but she still grinned at him. Her eyes sparkled and his heart did a little leap. His bear pushed him forward, wanting more, but he held himself back.
“Thank you,” Diana whispered. “And I was thinking, since I didn’t get to go stay with you in your clan, maybe you and I can have some special time together tonight.”
Bobby’s loins throbbed at the thought. He grinned at her and nodded. “I’d love that.”
Diana kissed him again and turned to Ruby. “So, I guess this is my house. Want to go explore it with me?”
“Sure thing. I have so many things I want to ask you.” Ruby slung an arm around Diana’s shoulders. “Plus, I think the alphas are getting ready to get into a massive fight, so I think it’s time we took off.”
“What?” Diana looked at the men. “You’re not going to fight, are you?”
Bobby squeezed her hand as he gave her a reassuring smile. “Of course not. We’re all grownups and don’t resolve our issues through a primitive display of fisticuffs. Go on. We’ll be in shortly.”
“Tyrell will go with you,” Ricky added. Anger tinged his voice, but Bobby didn’t stop looking at Diana.
Ruby tugged her away and Tyrell followed. Bobby’s bear growled, but he didn’t allow any nerves to show on his face as he turned to face the other alphas. They gathered around him, standing shoulder-to-shoulder. They even straightened up to make themselves look taller and puffed out their chests. The buttons on Kurtis’ shirt strained. He really needed to start buying shirts that fit him rather than getting a size too small to show off his physique.
“Well, this feels vaguely threatening,” Bobby said dryly. Just because he wasn’t a bully himself didn’t mean he was easily cowed.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” Ricky spat at him. “Those are members of my clan and —”
“And they’re my step-siblings,” Kurtis broke in. “Why do you want my sister living with us?”
Bobby didn’t respond to that, knowing that Kurtis spent next to no time with his step-siblings. Anybody looking in would not guess that they had any connection to each other.
“So . . . you’re trying to get in good with Diana by pretending to be selfless?” Noel’s eyes glittered. “Bringing in Tyrell so that Ricky can have more time with her? Please. You’re sabotaging him. You know very well that Rick will still be busy even if Tyrell is here.”
Ricky growled. “Don’t call me Rick.”
Kurtis snorted. “Like that’s the issue right now.”
“Look, you —”
“Are you going to let me speak or should I just leave and let you squabble amongst yourselves?” Bobby asked. He kept his voice low, calm, and controlled. “I asked Ruby and Tyrell here because this is a new and very different experience for Diana. She needs someone she can get along with as a friend. She needs an outside opinion. As for Tyrell . . . Yes. I am trying to help Ricky have more time to spend with her. It’s what she wants. And maybe I actually care about that.”
The other alphas didn’t respond. Kurtis scoffed and stalked back toward the house. Ricky let out a frustrated growl. And Noel just glared at him. Bobby excused himself and headed for the house. He wanted to claim the room next to whichever one Diana chose before the others could.
***
All of the rooms were built to give each person their own space. The five bedrooms on the third floor all came with a large space for a bed, desk, and reading corner (or workout corner, as far as Noel was concerned) as well as a private bathroom. The second floor held a TV room, exercise room, library, and a couple of guest rooms.
Bobby had made sure to set up his room perfectly. A table just big enough for the two of them and the chicken dinner he’d made. The candles lit Diana’s face with a golden glow and her sparkling eyes were warm as she gazed at him from across the table.
“This is nice,” he said. “Just you and me for once.”
“It is nice.” Diana grinned. She wore dark purple lipstick. Bobby couldn’t wait to see if it would smear over his body as they made love.
But not yet. Tonight, they were getting to know each other. As much as he wanted to forget about dinner and take her to bed right away, he wasn’t going to act like a cad. No. This was important, and he wasn’t going to let himself mess it up by being too impatient. He didn’t want his bond with Diana to be purely sexual. He wanted to know her heart and soul as well as her body. He wanted her to know him, too.
She dished herself up some potatoes. “So, how did you end up being an alpha?”
Bobby smiled. “Well, the Black Sands clan is a bit unorthodox. Up until about twenty years ago, it was just the three clans, but then people from those three clans got fed up with how things were going and staked their claim on a little spit of land that was sitting unused and unwanted. It took ten years to get the others to even acknowledge our rights to the territory. Recently, the previous alpha stepped down. I was elected and —”
The door opened. Bobby jumped. As he turned, the other three alphas streamed in. All of them were shirtless. Noel had even smeared himself with oil or something to make his muscles gleam. Bobby tensed.
“What are you doing here?”
Noel grabbed a leg of chicken and bit into it. “Well, since you’re so generous, we decided that you wouldn’t mind sharing your time with us.”
“Yeah, well, I’m not that generous,” Bobby growled. “This is my time with her and you know it. Get out.”
But the other alphas didn’t make to get out.
“Fine, then I’ll get out,” Bobby snarled, his bear livid. He walked out of the door. He needed some fresh air. Barely out the front door, his bear took over and ran into the woods.
Chapter Six – Diana
“Fine with me.” Kurtis turned his back on the door and moved to Diana. He started rubbing her shoulders. “Listen, Diana. We talked it over. We decided that it’s not fair for us to be fighting over your favor. We don’t want you to feel guilty about being with any of us . . . and watching you make out with Bobby earlier was really hot.”
Diana thought that maybe she should go after Bobby, but felt immobilized by the sight of the three shirtless alphas approaching her. So instead, she giggled and blushed.
Noel moved to Diana as well and crouched as he began to kiss her neck. “Plus, we thought . . . why not enjoy ourselves? This is about you, Diana. What you want. Have you ever fantasized about having us all at once?”
Ricky joined them. His hands went down, and the way Diana jumped and shivered was all the answer that they needed. Kurtis caught her mouth in a kiss as her one hand twisted into Noel’s hair and the other grabbed Ricky’s arm and pulled him closer.
She could feel her cheeks flush and her whole body moved as their hands caressed her. Ricky tugged on the hem of her shirt, Kurtis pulled it off, and then he unhooked her bra.
Diana could almost taste her alphas’ desires. She moaned as Noel nibbled at her neck. Kurtis pulled her chair out from the table and Ricky, his hand still pressed firmly between her legs, moved to kiss her thighs and lower belly. Kurtis’ hands wrapped around the chair and kneaded her breasts. Diana shivered, one hand tangled in Ricky’s brown hair, the other in Noel’s golden locks. She wanted to touch each of them, to kiss and taste every single one of them. It would have been easier if she had more hands.
Kurtis bent over her, pressing a deep kiss to her mouth as Ricky slid his hand up her skirt instead of over it. He slipped his fingers under her underwear and she thrust her hips forward as he made contact.
This was it. Ever since she had arrived, she had been wondering how it was going to work. Not just their relationship, but the sex, too. It had driven her wild at times to be alone with any one of them, because she wasn’t sure if there were rules about who she had when . . . But this? This was how it was going to work. The alphas mak
ing love to her at the same time, even if the mechanics were a bit strange and even if Bobby wasn’t here . . . A pang hit her in the center of the stomach, but desire took over.
Kurtis left her mouth to delve into her neck on the other side of Noel. Diana moved her hand from Ricky to Kurtis, pulling him closer. The alphas kept running their hands over her body. She wanted it so badly . . .
“I’ll take her from the front. Kurtis can have her at the back since he knows what he’s doing, and Ricky can have her mouth,” Noel said. He nuzzled into her neck again. “Does that sound good to you?”
Diana stood, pulling away from their hands. “Whose room are we going to?”
The three men stared at her.
“We’re not having sex in Bobby’s room while Bobby isn’t here.” A lump rose in her throat at his absence, but she shoved those thoughts aside. His turn would come . . . It had been too long since she’d been able to actually enjoy herself, and now she was with three gorgeous men, all wanting her at the same time. It was her most secret fantasy come true. How was she meant to turn them down?
“My room is closest,” Noel volunteered.
Diana nodded. “And do you have enough condoms for everybody?”
The alphas looked stricken. “Condoms?”
“Yes. I’m not risking getting pregnant.”
“I’ve got condoms,” Kurtis said. He looked a bit sour but nodded. “That’s a good idea, anyway.”
Diana nodded. She was relieved that none of them put up a fuss about the condoms. That would have put an end to everything right then.
Noel stood and picked her up in his arms. He all but ran from the room. Behind him, Kurtis disappeared into his room.
Noel laid her down on his extra-large bed, and she suddenly realized why the beds were so massive.
Once more, Bobby flashed through her mind, but then Noel was removing his pants, revealing that he had been going commando. Diana suddenly had no thoughts except for what was going on right at that moment. He fell over her, caging her with his huge body and kissing her hard. His tongue thrust into her mouth as he ground against her. He was already hard and, god, he was big.
“Hey, roll over.” Ricky pushed Noel to his side. Noel obliged but kept his grip on her so she rolled with him. Ricky’s hands probed her ass and he growled in her ear, “So round and juicy.”
The bed dipped at their feet and Diana glanced up from the fevered petting to see Kurtis. His eyes glowed with excitement. A roll of condoms was pinched between his teeth and he had a plethora of items in his hands. Diana pushed herself to her elbow, with Noel quickly moving in to kiss her neck. The sensations sent tingles down her spine and her whole body seemed on fire. Ricky moved his hand between her legs again and the tightness that had been there before flared back to life.
She moaned. “What do you have there?”
Kurtis held up each device. “Anal beads. Vibrating plug. Vibrators in various sizes. Lube. Can’t just go straight into having a man in your ass, you know? It’d hurt, and none of us want you in pain.”
Diana giggled. “As long as you know what you’re doing.”
It was Ricky who answered. “Don’t worry, Sexy. I do.”
He snatched the lube and one of the toys from Kurtis. Diana tensed, waiting for an argument, but Kurtis only smiled.
Kurtis stripped off his pants, too. He was already hard. It took her breath away. Or maybe that was Ricky easing her underwear off or Noel pressing his hands between her legs. Kurtis grabbed three condoms and tossed one to each of the boys. Noel looked at him with distaste, but he ripped it open without a word.
“Let’s get this dress off you,” he murmured, unzipping her.
Kurtis lifted her hips and Ricky lifted her shoulders while Noel tugged her dress off. All three of them started on her body with their mouths again, making fire tighten in her core. Diana clung to Noel, her fingers digging into his tanned skin. He’d smeared himself with some sort of oil . . . From the smell, she’d say coconut. It made her grip slip. Probably for the best, otherwise she might have ended up hurting him.
All three alphas put on their condoms before they went any further, which Diana was grateful for. She had a feeling that once things got into full swing, she wasn’t going to be able to think clearly enough to remind them.
Ricky grabbed a second condom and put it on his finger before pushing it into her ass. Diana gasped. Kurtis lifted her leg, pushing her knee up Noel’s side. Noel caught it, lifting himself slightly to look at what the others were doing. His eyes were dark. Diana kept her gaze on Noel as Kurtis pressed his face to her core. His tongue gently ran over her clit, making her shiver again.
Noel tensed. She caught his face in her hands. He bent over her, kissing her hard before pulling away and watching again. Ricky swirled his finger around in her ass. She clenched around him and he stilled and kissed her hip.
“So hot,” Noel whispered. “I thought I’d be jealous, but wow . . . ”
Kurtis lapped at her clit and she fell back, her whole body shaking as pleasure ran through her. Noel clutched her, holding her tight, and Ricky pulled his finger out. He took the bottle of lube, rolled her so she was more on her stomach, and squirted the lube on her ass. Kurtis made a moaning noise and pulled back. Diana rested her head against Noel’s chest as his hands moved up and down her body.
Kurtis moved her leg up a little higher again. This time, Noel caught her mouth in a deep kiss. He pulled her closer as Kurtis continued his work. Something pushed into her ass and started vibrating. The sensation made everything else even more intense. Diana broke the kiss with a gasp and buried her face into Noel’s chest. He stroked her hair and hummed.
“Is it too much for you?”
“No,” she whispered, even though she wondered if it was. Neither Kurtis nor Ricky let up, stealing her breath and thoughts. Her head fell back and Noel released her to move to suck on one of her breasts. It intensified all of her sensations further, and her body jerked one way and then the other.
Kurtis pulled away abruptly. He knelt on the edge of the bed and licked his lips. His gaze met hers and he grinned. “Ready for me, my sweet?”
It took a couple of seconds, but soon, they were all in position. Ricky pushed a larger vibrator into her ass, holding it deep as it stimulated her. Just that was enough for her to moan. He held her leg up while Kurtis, bracing himself on Ricky’s shoulders, pushed inside of her. Diana’s head fell back as he eased in, inch by inch. Noel kneaded her breasts in his large hands. Once Kurtis was fully seated, Diana turned ever so slightly so she could take Noel into her mouth. She began to suck on him while Kurtis thrust inside of her, gently at first, but then with increasing momentum.
Ricky echoed his movements with the vibrator. He kissed her inner thigh as he did so. This was far more intense than anything she had imagined before. Everything was tight inside of her, her skin feeling like it was about to burst into flame. It was all she could do to keep working on Noel. His fingers threaded through her hair and his hips thrust forward gently.
Diana’s insides were so tight that she had to screw her eyes shut. Kurtis gripped her hips and Ricky pushed the vibrator deeper into her ass. Noel grabbed her breast.
And then everything exploded.
Diana’s body writhed as a scream tore from her. Her head flung back and her nails dug into Noel’s thighs. Kurtis thrust harder, faster, one hand on her hips, the other on Ricky’s thigh as he braced himself. Her scream left her breathless and she jerked as darkness washed over her in waves of pleasure.
“That’s enough,” Noel’s rich, deep voice rumbled. “Let her breathe.”
Kurtis slowed. His head fell to his chest. His face was flushed and he was sweating. Through the pleasure was still scrambling Diana’s thoughts, she felt bad that he wasn’t able to finish, but he looked back up at her, his eyes bright and his smile beaming. She couldn’t help but smile back.
“That’s only your first one,” he promised her. “Trust me. We’re all goin
g to be half-dead by morning.”
And he was right. In the end, Diana gave herself to her alphas and they all had their turn. Afterward, she lay between Ricky and Kurtis with Noel stretched out on the floor. She was so exhausted that sleep overtook her quickly. She didn’t stay asleep, though. A quick power nap later, she woke to find her alphas all sleeping. Kurtis and Ricky were sprawled on either side of her.
Hunger gurgled in Diana’s stomach. She wriggled her way off the bed. Her movements didn’t disturb the alphas, and she gingerly stepped over Noel to retrieve her dress. She pulled it over her head and made her way to the door. She flinched as she did so. She was pretty tender everywhere, but it was still amazing. She glanced at the discarded toys and her cheeks heated. Maybe next time, they wouldn’t need them . . .
She made her way to the kitchen to find Ruby there.
“Is Bobby back yet?” Diana asked. Guilt hit her hard in the stomach.
Ruby shook her head. “No, but even I had to go quite a distance to stop hearing all of you, and he’s got better ears than me,”
Was there a note of disapproval in her voice? Diana hesitated as she retrieved a package of naan and hummus. “Are you . . . mad at me? I should have waited for Bobby, too, shouldn’t I? I just . . . I didn’t want to let go of the moment.”
Ruby turned to her and her expression softened. “I’m not judging you, Diana. It’s just that Bobby’s been deliberately excluded before. And to be honest . . . I’m surprised that the three up there were able to share you like that. It’s not unheard of for two males to share one female these days, but never three males. Let alone alphas. Usually, when it comes to mates, they’re unable to see their mate with another.”
Diana couldn’t stop herself from chuckling at that. “Well, we’re not mates.”
Ruby gave her a surprised look. “Aren’t you?”
