I relax against the twins as they wrap around me and I finally feel safe. I can’t help but glance over to Bishop in the front and wonder if he’s really the right side. I know Erik and Ezra are, but maybe they are like Loren and don’t know everything. Maybe all sides are dirty and the rest of us will be the casualties of whatever war these two men have going on against each other.
“We’ve got you,” Erik whispers in my ear, but I’m sure everyone heard him. Maybe he felt my unease rising and this was his way of offering me comfort.
There’s still so much I have to learn about their kind and their history, but for now I only want to feel comforted and safe. Lucky for me I’ve got two men who are more than willing to offer themselves for the job.

Erik
“Take us home,” I tell Bishop from the back, and he nods at us. I try to keep the anger I feel for him from my voice. He was the catalyst for all this. I try to reason with myself that he couldn't have seen this coming, but still, my mate in the hands of someone else makes reason not an easy thing to see.
“Alright, but I want your security in place. They obviously know where she’s going if they knew where to find her,” he says, and I nod, feeling better that he is making sure this is taken care of. I knew he would, but still hearing it puts me more at ease with him. I don't care for the thought of being angry with Bishop. It doesn't sit well inside me. I know I can feel my brother’s, too. I need to keep mine in check to help with his. “I want you two back at my place later, there are a few things I want to talk to Dove about, but for now you can go home.”
Bishop drives into our garage and as soon as he parks the van, Ezra hops out and runs to go talk with security. Ravana and Valen get in their car and drive away almost immediately. Bishop comes over to Dove and me, and for a moment I think he’s going to say something, but he changes his mind. I know everyone needs to talk, but right now we need our mate more.
“Just be sure and come see me later,” is all he says before he’s walking away towards his car.
Before Dove can say a word, I scoop her up in my arms and bring her inside. I catch sight of Ezra speaking to a group of men outside the front door as I carry her up to the third floor.
“So you think you can just sneak out on us and there won’t be any consequences?” I say as I run my lips down her neck. “We weren’t finished,” I try and tease her, wanting to lighten the heavy mood.
“Is that what this is? You want to have your fun and then I can go?” she says, and I feel her body tense as her hurt cuts through me.
I walk into the master bedroom and toss her down onto the middle of the bed. I climb on top of her so fast she lets out a squeak of surprise. “Let’s get this straight right now, sweets. We’ll never ever be done with you. No matter how far or how fast you run, we’ll never let you go. Is that clear?”
My hands tighten slightly on her wrists before I lower my weight to her body. Her eyes widen in surprise when I rub my hard length against her belly.
“Do you understand, Dove?”
“Yes,” she breathes, spreading her legs.
“Good girl,” I say as I watch her tongue wet her bottom lip. I lean down and place a kiss there, running the edge of my teeth along it. I want to bite her and to taste her again, but Ezra isn’t here. I know inside me that we have to do this together, so I decide to get her ready for us. “Turn over, I want to play with you.”
She smiles before biting her lip and doing as I say, and I take off her clothes. It’s not long before I feel Ezra behind me closing the door and then taking off his clothes, too.
“Beautiful,” he says as he comes over to the bed and watches both of us.
He reaches out and grabs her hips, pulling her ass in the air as I sit back and strip down as well. Her knees are spread and her pussy and ass are on display as she nestles her chest onto a pillow.
“Just relax, sweets. We’re going to take care of you,” Ezra says as he leans down and kisses his way across one of her cheeks.
I go to the other side and join him as I slowly slide my fingers up her thigh and dip them into her wet folds. Her warm wet pussy is waiting to be filled and it clenches around my digits as I slowly pulse them in and out of her.
“Fuck, look at how she tries to hold on to you,” Ezra says as he watches my fingers.
He licks his way to her ass and then presses his tongue against her tight ring. She moans and wiggles as we both tease her and she’s begging for more. I lie down on the bed between her legs and have her lower her pussy to my mouth. Ezra uses his fingers inside her pussy now as he licks her ass and I suck her clit at the same time. The taste of her is sweeter than any candy I’ve ever had and it’s addictive.
Her hips move with the both of us while we work our mouths in time. She’s so close to the edge, but every time she gets there, we slow down so it’s out of reach. She growls in frustration and it’s adorable, but we want her on the absolute brink before we let her go over. This is something the two of us talked about last night after she fell asleep and we agreed that this was the only way to do it.
“Please, I can’t take it anymore. I need you both inside me.” She’s panting and I can feel her body shake with desire. It knows what it needs even if her mind is still a little muddled with everything that is happening. Deep inside her every part of her knows she belongs to us.
“Slide down off Erik’s mouth, sweets, and we’ll give you what you want.”
She whines and rocks against my tongue a couple more times before she does as Ezra asks.
“It’s okay, next time I’ll lick your pussy while he fucks you and then you won’t have to choose which one you want.”
I grab her hips and move her down his body until the tip of his cock is positioned at the opening of her pussy. He sits up so that she’s sandwiched between us and my cock is pressing against the tight opening of her ass.
How could we have ever thought that we wouldn’t share a mate? In this moment nothing has ever felt more right, and I can’t imagine another life without Dove or Ezra in it. Together.
“I think it’s best if we do it all at once,” Ezra says as he leans forward and places a kiss on her neck. His eyes lock with mine and I understand what he means.
This is the part Bishop told us about years ago. That when we decided to take a mate they would drink from us as we’d drink from them and the bond would be sealed. If we do this right, then we’ll all be connected in a way that is impossible to imagine. We’ll only know it when we feel it.
I reach out and take Ezra’s wrist in my hand and bring it to my mouth. This is something we’ve never done before, but when my eyes lock with his I know this is what we’re meant to do. I graze my teeth along his pale skin and give him a small cut. Dove watches us closely as he takes my wrist and does the same.
“You need both of us at the same time,” I whisper as Ezra leans close to her again and kiss her neck softly right before he bites down to taste her. I inhale her scent as I rub my brother’s wrist on mine. Once we’ve combined it, I hold my arm in front of Dove. “Drink, sweets.”
Her soft lips open and I feel her tongue trace the wound as I lean down and bite her shoulder on the opposite side of Ezra. I watch as her nails dig into his arm and she marks him as we drink from her and forge our bond. As soon as I taste her I’m hungry for more, but this time the urge is building up in my cock, and if I don’t release I might not make it.
Pressing my cock into her ass just a little, I feel Ezra do the same in her pussy. Together we go slowly as she moves her mouth from my wrist to Ezra’s. Whatever it is that bonds us together also heals her in every way so that she’s made to take both of us at once.
We’re gentle as we work our way inside of her, and we each take her virginity at once. We try to control ourselves and breathe through the tight squeeze, but it’s almost impossible for both of us to fit.
“Harder!” Dove cries out as she rocks her hips lower onto the both of us. Her body is wa
rm all over and she leans back against my chest as Ezra sucks on her nipples.
It’s overwhelming to the point that I’m lightheaded, but I can’t stop. My body is begging me to keep going and to give her what she wants. I can hear the two of them and it’s not like before when I could sense things, now I’m certain.
Her round ass settles down onto my cock and I’m balls deep in her tight hole. She took every inch and her body stretched to take me. Ezra is rocking in and out of her slowly as I hold her steady on my cock. I want to feel how tight she is around me as I rub my hands all over body. I hold her breasts out for Ezra to lick and suck while he fucks her pussy. I can feel every rough inch through the thin barrier that separates us, and it heightens Dove’s arousal. I can sense that she’s close and I know Ezra does, too.
“It’s too much.” Her voice is shaky and she’s afraid of her approaching orgasm.
“We’ll be right here to catch you,” I say, holding her hips and sliding slowly in and out of her at the same time as Ezra. “We’re right here.”
She tenses as her back pushes against my chest and she throws her head back. She cries out in a loud scream as Ezra and I thrust into her together and cum at the same time. The two of us drink from her while she climaxes and calls out our names. I feel her fingernails on my thigh, scratching me, and I growl against her as I keep cumming. She’s marking me as hers and everything about that draws me closer to her.
“You’re ours now,” Ezra says as he slowly comes down from his high. “You’re our mate.”
“Forever,” I say, licking the wound on her shoulder closed.
“Can we do that again?” she says, her eyes wide with wonder.
I look down at her pussy and see a small trace of blood on Ezra’s cock. The sight of it makes me hungry to eat her again and then have my turn inside her.
“I think you’re going to have to tell us when to stop,” Ezra says as he grunts and flexes his cock inside her. “But first a shower. I think my little brother wants his turn in here.”
He winks at me and I roll my eyes. “Two whole minutes,” I say as I feel her ass squeeze my cock. “But I have no problem being the younger stud around here.”
“Are you okay with this, Dove?” Ezra asks.
“I’m more than okay.” She smiles at both of us and I can feel everything around me settle into place.
“We love you,” I say to her, and Ezra nods. I know what he’s thinking and I don’t want anything left unsaid. “You’re our mate, but we knew the moment we saw you that you were the one.”
“This is all so crazy, but I feel the same way. Like we were somehow destined to be together.” She looks between us and holds us tight. “I love you both so much. How is that possible?”
“This is our forever.” I kiss her shoulder and feel her relax against me. “We’ve got nothing but time to try and figure it all out.”
“You’re right,” she says with a smile. “The three of us.”
“The three of us,” Ezra and I confirm, and it’s the way it will always be.

Dove
“Not this time.” Ezra pulls me back into his warm body as I try to sit up. I know my body should feel sore, but it doesn’t at all. I wonder if it’s because of their blood inside of me. It not only links us together and makes sure I can live forever, but it protects me, too.
I’m not sure how long we’ve been in bed at this point because our passion doesn’t seem to stop. At times I wasn't sure where one of us ended and another began, and it has to be the bond. I’m their mate, and for the first time in my life I feel settled. I’m not the only strange one in the room when I’m with them.
“We can’t stay here forever,” I sigh, knowing that’s probably a lie, but while we might have a lifetime together the rest of the world is out there and it needs to be addressed. I was never one to turn away from a challenge and I know we have one ahead of us.
Not only that, my grandpa might be wondering where I am and I need to at least check in with him. Not to mention I’ve probably lost my job at the library. I should probably care about that, but I don’t. I live in a giant mansion now with two mates that would follow me to work if I tried to go. They’d stand there and stare at me and probably grunt at anyone who talked to me.
“Yes we can, we can do anything we want,” Erik adds as he wraps tighter around me. He nips at my shoulder and I lick my lips thinking about what both of them tasted like. It was nothing I’d expected and I know I’ll spend forever craving it.
“But I’m still human,” I laugh, trying to pull from their hold.
It takes a moment, but finally they let me go so I can go to the bathroom. When I glance over my shoulder I see them both watching me. I love how insistent they are with their need for me. I can feel it running through me now as their eyes never leave me.
All those silly worries about not being their mate are gone because now I feel it to my core. They are a part of who I am and I was made to be theirs. We fit perfectly and what I thought would end up as a battle between brothers has been a joining like I couldn’t imagine. In fact, I think they enjoy that there are two of them to keep after me. I know they still have a fear I’m going to try and slip out even after our bonding. They should know I’m not going anywhere, but fear does crazy things to people.
When I step out of the bathroom I’m disappointed to see they’re both dressed. I reach for a robe that’s lying over the chair and put it on. They’re both talking in low voices to one another and they turn to look at me as I move towards them.
“You’re right, sweets. There are some things we need to handle,” Erik confirms what I knew would be coming.
“Bishop needs to see us. All of us,” Ezra adds, with an edge of anger in his voice.
“Ezra?” I take a step towards him, wondering why he’s angry at Bishop.
I haven't told them all the things I learned about him. They barely let me get a word out after they found me yesterday. I’m not sure I care for Bishop either, but maybe they slipped into my mind and heard me thinking about him now that we’re mated and our connection is deeper. Though since they got me home and into bed, there were only a couple things I’d been thinking about.
“It’s his fault you were taken.” Ezra lets the anger come out and I glance over at Erik to see he’s pissed too, only he’s doing a better job of holding it in.
“That day wasn't the first time I met the man that took me.” I glance between the two of them. “In fact, he warned me away from you two. He told me…” My words trail off because I don’t want to say what he told me about them. I know in my soul that it’s impossible. I’d never believe the hands of these men would do something like that. The same hands that worshiped my body aren’t capable of the things Gordon accused them of.
Erik puts his finger under my chin, making me look up at him. “You can tell us anything, sweets. We won’t be angry. We’re sure you were scared when you found out this world had vampires. It would be easy for someone to use that fear against you.”
My eyes meet his, then glance over to Ezra. “I wasn't scared,” I admit. I should have been. I’d tried to reason it was because I had to make sure no one was being hurt, but really I couldn’t stay away. They called to me and now I know that it’s because we were destined to become mates. “I came to find the two of you even after he told me—”
“About all the dead women,” Ezra finishes for me. His jaw clenches and anger rolls off him again. “Bishop is going to show up if we don’t get going. We might as well make this a family discussion because I won’t want to talk about it again if I don’t have to. Furthermore, I don’t want our mate tainted with the past that never lets us go.”
It's not only anger, it’s hurt I can feel in him, too. I reach out for Ezra as he goes towards the door and grab his arm. I need to touch him, and I know it will make him feel better. He stops instantly and it’s amazing to actually feel him calm under my hand.
“Nothing about you two wil
l ever taint me. I need you to understand that. We’re going to have a long life together.” I give him a smile that makes him relax even more. Erik moves behind me, wrapping his arm around my waist. His chin brushes the top of my head. “It doesn't matter what comes next as long as we're together. I love you both and we’ll get through this,” I finish. Ezra moves, trapping me between them.
“We love you, too. And we’ll always be together.” He leans down and kisses me, making his point clear. He didn't need to make it because I’m on the same page, but if he wants to do his alpha thing I’ll let him and enjoy every second of it.
“Let’s do this,” he says when he pulls his mouth from mine and takes my hand. Erik gives me a wink with a silent thank you for bringing Ezra back down. For the first time I don’t feel like the two of them have their own silent conversation. I’m a part of it now.
When Ezra starts to lead us out the bedroom door I pull on his hand, stopping him. “If I ever wanted to leave—”
“You never leave us,” they both say as the hold they have on my hands becomes tighter.
“If you let me finish,” I laugh before turning serious. I need answers. “If I ever wanted to leave here and go somewhere else—only the three of us—would we do that?”
“We would question why, of course, because if you’re unhappy than we’re unhappy. If leaving is something we need to do for you, then we’ll do it,” Erik says easily with no hesitation. Ezra nods in agreement.
“But your family,” I remind them both. They might not be blood, but they’re kin.
“They are our family, but we’ve also learned in our lives that your family is who you make it. It doesn't have to be what you were born with.” I know in that moment they didn't have a childhood filled with happiness.
