Chapter 1
“Come on, Carter! Are you ready or not?” Drew Barrett yelled as he stood in the open doorway of their cabin.
“I’m just grabbing the rings,” Carter Hutchinson called to him from the bedroom they were going to share with their mate. He rushed from the room and stood before his triad partner, his light blue eyes sparkling with happiness. “We’re actually going to do this, Drew.”
Drew smiled and nodded, his soft, hazel eyes filled with humor. He couldn’t remember Carter ever being so excited about anything before. It was nice to see him so happy. He knew it was because of Suzie—the woman destined to be theirs.
“You think she’ll say yes, don’t you, Drew?” Carter asked suddenly as worry filled him.
Drew was immediately serious. “I hope she will, Carter. I don’t think we’ll be able to survive without her.”
Carter nodded and stepped toward him, reaching out his hand to offer the small jeweler’s box that held the three identical rings that he and Drew had designed and had commissioned a jeweler to make for them. Drew took the box and put it in the front pocket of his jeans.
“I like our rings,” Carter told him quietly. “I hope Suzie likes them, too.”
“She will,” Drew told him with confidence. “Especially when we tell her we designed them and what the design means.”
Carter nodded and ran his fingers through his long, light brown hair before rubbing his hand across his dark whiskers. “Maybe I should have shaved,” he spoke more to himself than to Drew.
“You know our Suzie likes it when we have five o’clock shadows,” Drew told him, laughing. “I have never seen a woman more obsessed with our body hair.”
Carter smiled slowly. “I’m looking forward to her exploring every bit of my body hair tonight.” He looked at Drew, raised his eyebrows, and wiggled them suggestively. “And I’m going to enjoy exploring every bit of her body hair, too.”
Drew smiled, his joy threatening to come out in a burst of laughter. He reached out and touched his triad partner’s shoulder lightly. “Come on, Romeo,” he told him, turning to walk out of their cabin. “We have a mate to woo.”
He walked toward his truck, smiling when Carter quickly followed him. Opening the driver’s side door and climbing into the front seat of his truck, he slammed the door shut, inserted the key in the ignition, and started the engine. He ran his hands through his thick, black curls and waited while Carter took his place beside him.
As he drove
toward the cabin that Suzie shared with her mother and younger brother Mitchell, Drew thought about how their lives were going to change in just a few minutes. Suzie would either accept their offer to mate with them and make them the happiest men in the pack, or she would turn them down and destroy their hopes for a loving triad mating. He truly believed that Suzie loved them just as much as they loved her, but he couldn’t prevent the fear that suddenly filled him at being turned down. He really felt that what he had told Carter before was true. They wouldn’t survive without her in their lives.
“There she is,” Carter called out, drawing Drew’s attention from his serious thoughts.
He turned the truck toward the front porch of the small cabin and parked it just as Suzie ran down the front steps to meet them. His heart was immediately filled with peace at the sight of her. She was adorable. Her happiness was infectious. As she bounced down the three steps to stand beside the truck, he took in the beauty of their mate-to-be.
She was beautiful inside and out. Her kindness and caring touched their souls. Her beautiful, blonde hair was long—falling to the middle of her back. How many times had he and Carter talked about holding her silky hair in their fists as they made love to her? It was a fantasy they planned on seeing through to fruition that very night. And then they would be joined together as a mated triad that would be blessed by the Fates.
“Hello, Suzie Q!” Carter called out to her as he stepped from the truck and wrapped his arms around her to lift her into his embrace.
“Hello, my Carter,” Suzie whispered, kissing his lips lightly before grabbing his hair to hold him still while she rubbed her face against his whiskers.
The growl that escaped Carter at her need to have his scent on her was instant. He allowed her to take her fill of him, only pulling back when she released him. He smiled down at her before kissing her lips lightly.
“Are you happy now that you’re covered in my scent, baby?” he asked her, winking boldly.
“Not yet,” she told him, turning to grab for Drew as he stepped around the front of his truck to stand beside them. “Come here, my Drew, and let me touch you.”
“Oh, honey, that’s a request I’m happy to oblige,” he told her, stepping close and wrapping his arms around her as she leaned back against Carter.
Suzie reached up, took his face between her hands, and pulled him down to kiss him gently. “I love the way you smell,” she whispered as she rubbed her face against his cheek, pulling open his shirt so she could run her fingers through the black hair on his chest.
Drew smiled at Carter over the top of their mate’s head. Carter nodded and smiled back. They were going to have so much fun with her. Their future was going to be filled with laughter, love, and lots of touching!
“Are you finished touching, honey?” Drew asked her, laughing.
“I’ll never be finished touching,” she told him softly.
“Oh, honey,” Drew told her, sighing. “You don’t know how happy that makes me.”
Suzie looked over her shoulder at Carter. “Are you happy about that, too, Carter?” she asked him, winking.
The immediate smile that covered Carter’s face gave her all the answer she needed. Turning slightly, she wrapped her arms around both of their waists and hugged them tightly.
“Then we’re good,” she told them, laying her head against Carter’s chest and smiling up at both of them. “So what are we going to do tonight?”
Carter looked at Drew and waited. They had planned down to the very last detail how they would propose to their mate. Drew nodded and reached out to lift Suzie into his arms. She let out a squeal and giggled happily.
“Oh, you’re going all alpha on me! I love it,” she told him, laughing. She turned to look at Carter and reached out to take his hand in hers. “What about you, honey? Are you going to carry me off into the sunset?”
Carter laughed out loud. This woman made the anger leave his heart and replaced it with complete joy and love.
“Is that what you want, Suzie Q?” he teased her.
“Only if you promise to do it naked,” she told him seriously, the devilish twinkle in her eyes revealing her complete happiness.
“In the truck! Now!” Carter demanded, stepping back and pulling open the passenger side door.
Drew walked to the truck and gently lowered Suzie onto the bench seat, kissing her lips lightly before pulling back and looking down at her. She smiled up at him, touching his face tenderly before leaning in to rub her face against the whiskers of his cheek once again.
“Are you always going to rub your face against my whiskers?” he teased her.
“Yes,” she answered immediately. “Until I can get your clothes off and rub against other parts of your body.”
Drew growled and stepped back quickly. “Get in the damn truck!” he barked at Carter, walking around the front of the truck and yanking open the door to climb inside. “Buckle up, Suzie Q.” He started the engine and peeled out, dirt flying as he raced away from the small cabin Suzie lived in.
Her sweet giggles made him happy. He reached down and grabbed for her hand, smiling when he saw Carter doing the same thing to her other hand. When she pulled up their hands to press them against her chest he nearly swerved off into the trees. The feel of her soft breasts against the back of his hand was almost too much.
“Suzie, if you don’t behave, I’m going to pull this truck over, and Carter and I are going to claim you right now,” he warned her.
Suzie pulled their hands to her mouth and kissed their knuckles lightly. “Promise?” she whispered.
Drew growled. Carter’s free hand hit the dashboard.
“Drew, the hell with the plan!”
“I’m with you!”
Drew pulled the truck to the side of the dirt road, shut off the engine, and pushed open his door. He dragged Suzie out behind him, glad that Carter was right behind her. They surrounded her, putting her between them as they hugged her tightly.
Drew took her mouth hungrily, demanding entrance. He moaned as she opened to him without hesitation. Carter kissed the back of her neck, sucking up a mark and groaning into her softness, growling as Suzie grabbed for his hand and pulled it around her waist to settle it on her right breast. When he squeezed it lightly, she sighed into Drew’s mouth—loving every touch and every moment of closeness with her men.
Drew pulled away reluctantly, breathing heavily as his wolf clawed at him to claim what was theirs.
Carter turned Suzie to face him and kissed her passionately, determined that she know exactly who she belonged to. Before the end of the night, they would claim her and form their destined triad.
“Carter,” Drew’s calm voice penetrated his haze of need.
He pulled back and looked at the man he trusted with his life. Suzie remained pliant between them, smiling at them as they looked down at her. Drew took Suzie’s right hand in his. Carter took her left. She waited patiently.
“Is something wrong?” she asked them worriedly as she saw how they had become so serious.
“No, honey,” Drew assured her.
“Baby, we need you to know how much you mean to us,” Carter began.
“You mean a lot to me, too,” Suzie told them, smiling.
Drew hesitated and took a calming breath. Looking at Carter, he waited until he saw him nod his head to let him know that he was willing to go through with their plan here and now.
“Susannah, we love you,” Drew told her firmly. “We have for a very long time.”
“We want to claim you as our triad mate tonight,” Carter added calmly. “We know this might be sudden for you, but we don’t want to spend another night without you.”
Suzie looked at both men in surprise. Although she never could imagine being mated to any other men, she had never expected them to want to claim her so soon. Despite that surprise, she was more than ready to accept them. She wanted to spend the rest of her life with them.
“Carter and I have designed a rin
g that we hope you’ll want to wear,” Drew told her, releasing her hand so he could pull out the small jeweler’s box from his jeans pocket.
Suzie watched in stunned silence as Drew opened the box and pulled out a ring. He held it out on his open palm so she could see it. The ring was made of three entwined strands of gold. Two were yellow gold and one was white gold.
“The two strands that are yellow gold represent me and Drew,” Carter explained proudly. “The strand that is white gold represents you, Suzie.”
“We wanted our rings to show how we will always be wrapped around each other,” Drew told her.
“Our rings?” Suzie asked, surprised. “You have rings, too?”
Drew nodded as he turned the box over so that the other two larger rings fell into his hand. “One for Carter and one for me.”
Suzie stared down at his open hand and marveled at the rings he held that were the exact same design as the one Drew held for her. She looked at both men in stunned silence.
“We want everyone, shifter and human, to see that we belong to each other,” Carter spoke for the both of them. “And we want to have these rings on our fingers to bind us as our mating will bind us.”
Suzie was about to speak when both Drew and Carter dropped to their knees before her. They each held her left hand as they looked up at her. The incredible beauty of each man filled her heart with love.
“Susannah Robinson, will you do us the honor of becoming our mate and our wife?” Drew asked her gently, hopefulness evident in his voice.
“We want to build a future with you. We promise to love you and protect you for the rest of our lives, baby,” Carter vowed. “Will you accept us as your mates and husbands?”
Suzie dropped to her knees in front of her men. “Yes,” she whispered, leaning forward and wrapping her arms around both men. “I love you both. I wouldn’t want any other men to be my mates. I only want you.” She pulled back and smiled at them with tears of joy in her eyes.
Carter leaned forward and kissed her lips tenderly, sighing against her mouth as all of the tension left his body. He leaned into her neck and rubbed his face against her slowly, smiling into her shoulder and biting down on it lightly. Her moan was muffled against Drew’s lips as he took her mouth in a sweet kiss then pulled back to look at her.
