“Step out of your panties, darlin’. I’ll help you.” He kept one strong hand on her hip and steadied her as she lifted one foot at a time and he slipped her panties off her.
She had a feeling from his deftness in helping her undress that he had done this more than once before. It didn’t matter to her. She was too eager to know what would happen next. As she stood in front of him, stark naked, she quit worrying about anyone else watching them. She was immersed in every touch and move that Cole made. She couldn’t take her eyes off him. He was making her burn for him.
He shifted on the cushion until he knelt directly in front of her, took hold of her hips with his big strong hands, and pulled her closer to him. His face was now so close to her mound that she could feel his warm breath on her sensitive flesh. Her little muscles around the opening to her passage clenched.
She put her hands on his shoulders, not really needing any additional support, but just wanting to touch him. Slowly his face moved closer to her and then he nuzzled her folds and licked between them. She inhaled swiftly with the amazing sensation. His tongue delved between her labia and found her clit. She gasped, and thought she’d come apart right then. But she didn’t, and he continued to titillate her with the tip of his tongue on her clit, tweaking and circling it. She felt hot aching sensations all through her belly. Her opening dripped fluid to her slit, and every part of her pussy ached with pleasure and need. She didn’t know if she could continue to stand on her feet when her knees felt like jelly.
He squeezed her hips and pulled her tighter against his mouth. Nuzzling her again, he cupped her hips in his strong hands as he licked along her sensitive flesh and down deeper to her opening.
“Cole, I’m going to fall.” She gripped his shoulders for more support.
He shook his head in answer and pleasured her even more. He slid his tongue through her folds back to her clit, and she felt him remove one hand from her hips, and his fingers caress her swollen flesh. He slid a long finger into her opening and slowly pushed inside. He pressed the tip of his finger against the inner walls of her vagina and her body jerked and tensed as he touched the most sensitive place he’d found yet. She squeaked out a sharp moan. “Cole!”
He caressed her over and over in that same area deep inside. She could feel her orgasm coming. His warm wet tongue caressed her folds and he nibbled her sensitive nub, nuzzling her at the same time. Her body bowed, her neck arched back and her hips bucked against him as her climax rocked through her. Contractions pulsed over and over, tensing her body, and she felt Cole’s arm wrap around her hips. His callused thumb replaced his lips and tongue, and he pressed kisses across her belly, oh so slowly and gently. She thought she was going to collapse in a heap at his feet, but before she did he stood and swept her into his arms.
“Kiss me, hon,” he ordered, softly.
She opened her eyes and watched his serious expression as he lowered his mouth to hers and kissed her thoroughly and gently. She closed her eyes and his tongue caressed the inside of her mouth. She could taste the evidence of what she’d just let him do to her. She’d loved what he did, and she felt no embarrassment at all in front of the others. All she felt was supremely relaxed and pleasured.
He broke the kiss and carried her the short distance to the lounge chair. She put her arms around his neck as he sat down with her in his lap.
Chapter Nine
“That was amazing.” She smiled up at him.
He grinned at her. “I’m happy to be of service any time, sweetheart.”
She grinned at him then.
Jase joined them on the lounge chair next to them. “After you two catch your breath, how about a friendly game of water volleyball?”
“Sounds like a plan,” Cole said.
“I’ll help you put up the net,” Derek offered.
She glanced toward Derek and saw Lacy and Trey wrapped in each other’s arms on their lounge chair. Lacy’s bra was off and Trey fondled her breasts as they kissed.
Emily looked away before she became aroused all over again. “I think I’d like to take a dip in the water right now, if anyone wants to join me.”
Jase stood and started undressing. “I’m right behind you, babe.”
By the time she rose and stepped into the pool on the steps, Jase and Cole were there on either side of her.
They were all three naked now and Jase was aroused. He no sooner sat down beside her than he pulled her out into the water. “Hey!” she protested playfully.
Cole joined him and took one of her legs from Jase.
“Now you’re both in trouble.” They pulled her out into the water, spreading her legs in the process. The water rushed over her pussy, tickling her. She was forced to act fast to keep from going under. She swished her hands through the water and straightened her back until she was floating. She could feel Jase and Cole working their way up her legs hand over hand, keeping her legs spread in the process. Her folds swelled again in expectation. Jase reached her upper thigh and slipped his hand between her butt cheeks, slid one finger through her swollen flesh, until that long finger filled her passage so gently. It felt so warm and wonderful, but now he seemed like he was in a hurry.
“Love how that feels, babe, all slick and soft.” He moved his finger around and in and out, again and again. “I can’t get enough of that.” He slipped his other hand under her head and lowering his head, covered her lips with his and ravaged her mouth.
She was almost too limp to respond but she savored everything he was doing to her. She wanted to clamp her thighs together as another orgasm drew her muscles tight. Her back bowed, but Jase held her head up out of the water, and she climaxed. Her body pulsed repeatedly. She could feel Cole on her other side helping to support her as her strength ebbed.
“Put your arms around my neck, hon,” Jase said. She did as he wanted and he lifted her upright, holding her tightly against the front of him. He kissed the side of her face. She could feel his arousal. His cock was huge and steel-hard against her belly. She felt Cole move close to her back with his hands on her hips. He surprised her by slipping his engorged cock between her butt cheeks. He didn’t enter her, but kept his cock snuggly between her thighs, arousing her again.
Jase took hold of her right hand. “Touch me, babe.” His voice came as a soft rasp of need.
When he guided her hand to his cock, she curled her fingers around the thick, hard, heat of him and squeezed. He groaned.
She wasn’t sure what she should do to pleasure him. “Tell me what you want.”
“Keep your hand closed around me and move your hand up and down the length,” he said softly.
She did that and was amazed by the hardness of his cock. “What else?”
“Run your fingers around the head and over the tip. Feel my cum there.”
She did as he said and felt the slippery fluid in the little depression in the head. She explored the shape and texture and slid her hand back down his cock. She squeezed.
“Ah, God,” he rasped with a moan. His climax took him.
She felt his hard cock pump over and over. He growled low in his throat as he continued to ejaculate. She looked down and could see a blurred vision of his rod in her hand beneath the surface of the water.
Cole moved his cock between her thighs. Once, twice, three times, and she heard his growling purr and felt his cock pump beneath her flesh. She held onto Jase for support as the motions of Cole’s body in climax rocked her. Cole’s hands slipped around her to cup her breasts as Jase lowered his head and took her mouth in his with a gentle, leisurely kiss.
When he broke the kiss, she took a deep breath. “You guys are incredible. That was amazing.”
“You’re pretty amazing yourself, babe.” Jase smiled at her.
“I second that,” Cole said behind her, and then he kissed her beneath one ear, and gave her shoulder a gentle nip.
“Hey, are you love birds ready to play ball?” Trey called from the side of the pool where the three of the
m sat watching.
“Yeah. Bring it on,” Cole dared them.
They dropped into the water and helped secure the net.
Jase and Cole let go of Emily slowly.
“You ready?” Jase asked her.
“I’m ready.”
“Let the game begin,” Cole said.
Emily had a great time trying to keep up with her guys. She’d be lucky if she returned more than one volley with her two big handsome hunks always there at her side. It was just as much fun to watch them move powerfully through the water, and spring upward to hit the ball back to Trey and Derek. She noticed that Lacy had about as much luck hitting the ball as Emily did.
After they reached a tie, they called it quits and everyone made their way to the lounge chairs and the beer Jase had brought out in a small cooler. The guys talked about their day’s work on their ranches. Emily enjoyed hearing about it. She’d had no idea what was involved in running a ranch.
When the last beer was finished, Jase stood. “I insist everyone spend the night here at my house tonight.”
No one disagreed with him. “Come on, I’ll show you where you can sleep.” He showed Lacy to a separate bedroom from the one that Trey headed for. Emily figured that must be his usual room to sleep in when he stayed overnight. After overhearing Jase’s conversation earlier that night about taking things slower with Lacy, she figured Jase was giving him a reminder.
Trey and Derek took to Trey’s bedroom, and Jase and Cole escorted Emily back to Jase’s bedroom when she said that was all right with her.
They let her have first turn in the bathroom. She was almost asleep in the big bed by the time Jase and Cole both joined her. She felt them snuggle up to her on opposite sides, and she fell asleep thinking that she should be able to get to work on time the next day.
The next time Emily opened her eyes, it was light out. Seeing the time on the clock, she almost jumped out of bed over Jase. It was the middle of the morning and she needed to be at work before the noon hour rush. “Jase, wake up! I’ve got to get to work!”
He moaned, and she shook him gently.
“Cole, I need to go home!” She shook Cole.
Cole and Jase rolled out of bed and grabbed their clothes while she hurried into the bathroom. She showered, dressed and combed her hair. Cole stepped into the bathroom, but only took a minute. Jase followed him as Emily tried to wait patiently.
“Take me to my house so I can get my car, okay?”
“Sure hon,” Cole said. “I’ll be happy to. Don’t want you to be late for your job. Jase and I will be there for lunch. You can count on us.”
Jase came out of the bathroom looking more awake. He crossed to her and kissed her gently. “Last night was fantastic, babe. We’ll see you at noon like usual.”
She kissed him back. “See you then.” She smiled at him and headed for the door. Cole grabbed his hat and followed right behind her.
He helped her into his sports car and before she knew it they were on the road back to her place. When he stopped in her driveway, he cupped his hand at her nape and pulled her close. She met his smoldering gaze. He kissed her quick before she reached for the door handle. Opening his door he slipped out on his side and ran around the front of his car to help her out on her side. They walked up the steps to her front door.
“Save tonight for me and Jase, okay, sweetheart?”
She smiled at him. “I will. See you at lunch.” He held the door for her after she unlocked it, and tipped his hat as she waved to him from inside her home. She closed the door and hurried to change into her work clothes. She had no time to waste or she’d be late to work.

“She’s like a drug,” Jase said to Cole as they walked from their cars into the steakhouse for lunch. “I can’t get enough of her.”
“I agree.” Cole removed his hat and swiped his hair back.
The sun was hot and they’d both already put in a few hours outside at their family ranches. Jase thought about the previous days and nights, and all the time they’d spent with Emily. “I never get tired of being with her.”
“Me neither,” Cole said. “I don’t know what I’d do if she got tired of us. I’d hate to lose her.”
“No matter what we’ve wanted to do with her, she’s never said no.” Jase slowed as he neared the front door of the steakhouse. “And that’s pretty amazing. She’s so sweet and generous.”
Every time they’d spent with her at night after work, they’d shown her various ways of having sex.
“She seems to trust us about everything,” Cole said.
“Yeah, she not only trusts us but she understands now that sex between considerate partners is a gentle, fun and caring experience.” Jase looked at Cole for his affirmation.
“Thank goodness she keeps going out with us.” Cole shook his head. “I don’t know what I’d do if we lost her. It’s almost like she’s become a part of both of us and in such a short time.”
“Yeah, I think we’d both be lost if she got tired of us. What will she do when she finds out what we are? I’m afraid she won’t want to ever see us again.” He opened the door and they walked inside the steakhouse.
“I’ve been thinking the same thing,” Cole agreed, his voice full of dread.
* * * *
Emily saw Jase and Cole walk into the dining area and head for one of her tables. It never failed to happen that when she caught sight of them an electrical charge seemed to hit her near her heart. She liked them so much that she feared she loved them. What if they didn’t feel the same? They took such care for her in everything they did with her. She knew she wanted both of them to be her guys forever if possible. How could she make that happen? She was afraid she’d scare them away though if she asked them to stay with her. Jase and Cole had shown their care and regard for each other, as well as for her, as they had been generous and shown consideration for each other. They seemed like guys she could trust with her life.
She would be devastated if they ever lost interest in her and called it quits. For now, she wouldn’t think about that. She’d just enjoy them and have fun with them as long as she could in case they didn’t want a long-term relationship. She headed for their table to take their order.

Cole and Jase were leaving the steakhouse after lunch when Cole spotted his mother across the parking area. He headed in her direction and Jase followed him.
She was dressed in her favorite color of slacks and blouse in aqua green. She always said the color matched her eyes, which were striking with her long blonde hair. He wondered where he’d gotten his dark-green eyes. From his father? He had no clue.
“Hi!” she called to them.
“Are you meeting your friends for lunch?” Cole asked.
“Well, I actually have a couple of reasons for being here. First to meet with some friends who are probably already waiting for me inside, and second, to check out Emily, the waitress I’ve heard is taking up all your free time these days.” She smiled at Cole and Jase. “Word gets around fast in a small town, you know.”
Cole looked his mom in the eyes. “Yeah, she’s pretty special to us.”
“I can see in your eyes and hear in your voice how much you care for her,” his mom said softly. “Do you feel the same, Jase?”
“Yeah, I do.”
“In that case I have something to tell you.” She paused and looked at both Jase and Cole. “I was a close friend of Emily’s mother years ago. When she left Texas, I promised to look after Emily’s welfare. That sorry excuse of a man who beat her mother all the time was not Emily’s biological father. Her real father disappeared after she was born, and Emily’s mother never found out what had happened to him. I heard from the college that Emily attended that she had asked who was paying for her education. I guess she figured out that her scholarship didn’t pay for everything. I didn’t allow the college officials to tell her that I was paying for what the scholarship didn’t cover. I did it for her mother’s s
ake and for Emily, in hopes that she would have a better life than her mother had.” She smiled at Cole and Jase. “I think she will. You can keep all this to yourselves or share it with Emily if you’d like to. I just thought you ought to know.”
Cole glanced at Jase and then back to his mom. “Thanks, Mom.” Cole gave her a big hug. “I appreciate it. We’ll wait for the right time to tell Emily.”
Jase gave her a hug, too. “Good to know. Thanks for telling us.”
“Don’t be strangers.” Cole’s mom headed inside the restaurant and Jase and Cole strode to their vehicles.
“I wonder how Emily will take this news.” Cole looked at Jase.
“We won’t know unless we tell her. I guess we should let her know soon though. She might appreciate it.”
“I guess we’ll have to take that chance.” Cole hoped it was the right choice and it wouldn’t change the way she felt about them. She’d probably want to find out what happened to her real father though.
* * * *
Later that night as they all three sat at the edge of Jase’s pool, they told Emily what Cole’s mom had told them earlier in the day. Emily seemed to take it well enough, Cole thought.
“It’s a bit of a shock to find out that horrible man is not related to me.” Emily smiled at both Cole and Jase. “I’m also somewhat relieved to hear about this. It’s great to know that I’m not related to him physically. I’m thrilled that my benefactor during college was your mom.” She gave Cole a big hug.
Cole gave Jase a look of relief. He could tell that Jase was hugely relieved, too, that she was taking it well. Cole doubted she’d be happy at all about him and Jase being shifters though. He knew Jase was really worried about that. What if she wasn’t able to accept that they were shape-shifters?
Now they’d waited too long to tell her, and Cole couldn’t bear to lose her trust and love. Knowing Jase, he felt the same way. What if she couldn’t love them or didn’t want to have anything more to do with them after she was told their closely kept secret?
