“But the question is, would you want it any other way?”
Violet laughed. “Hell no. I love things just the way they are.” The smile faded from her face as she leaned back in her chair. “Any word from the police about the man who grabbed you?”
“Yes, they arrested him, and it didn’t take them long either. Lieutenant Lopez got in touch yesterday and said he’d been arrested in the Dallas area. As Lopez suspected, he was mostly just a scared kid. From what he told Nate and Daniel, the guy confessed. In the beginning, he just wanted to jack my car but the dumb punk took me when I got a good look at his face.”
Violet shivered. “Scary shit.”
“Thank the gods Daniel and Nate found me when they did.”
“Providence. Meant to be.” Violet reached across the table and took her hand. Instant kinship wrapped around Olivia, soothing and peaceful. Having a friend was such a good thing. Especially now. “Are you okay? I know full change hasn’t happened yet, just the beginnings of it, but I wondered if you had questions.”
Livvy sighed. “So many. Mom was great about preparing me for the physical aspect of what I’ll be going through but I’m still a little confused about the emotional stuff.”
“Oh sweetie, I understand. Noah and Aaron were strangers to me too. I was so afraid and alone when the heat came over me. There was nothing to do but take a deep breath and accept what was coming. Unstoppable.”
Livvy thought back to the fast and furious matings between the three of them. Pleasure whipped unexpectedly through her veins, practically stealing her breath. Powerful. Intense. And it was only the beginning.
Since the morning after her arrival, they’d left her in her room at night, undemanding and patient, saying only that she should rest. Despite that, she knew they wanted her, hungered for her. As the days moved by they returned to work but the rest of their time was spent filling her in on their lives, their thoughts and worries. They included her in their plans for the future with an ease that was astonishing. She’d learned Nathan had a wicked, outrageous sense of humor and sometimes Daniel tended to brood. No, they weren’t perfect, but then neither was she.
“I can’t help but be a little afraid,” she finally said. Her gaze connected with Violet’s and she saw understanding there. “The little bit of sexual hunger that I’ve experienced with them up until now has been so powerful. I can’t imagine more.”
“You have to trust them to see you through this, Livvy.”
She shrugged. “I do trust them. Already I feel bound to them. We’re connected in a way I can’t begin to understand. It’s so weird how it happens.”
“Tell me about it. We’re raised knowing that it’s a mystical union but until it happens, we have no real understanding. Finally we accept, thankful that we’ve found our mates. We live, we love. That’s good enough for me. You’ll make it through your first shift just fine. I know it. Daniel and Nate are good men. I’ve known them for several years and know how they’ve longed to find you. They’ll treat you as the treasure you are.”
Dusk had fallen by the time Violet finally headed for home. Despite several glasses of wine, Olivia wasn’t as relaxed as she’d been earlier. A fine trembling set up in her limbs and a rush of adrenaline whipped through her bloodstream, alerting her to sudden changes in her body. Dizzy, she leaned against the wide front door and closed her eyes.
Was it time? Was it coming?
Livvy forced air into her lungs. Her heartbeat accelerated to tap out a frantic beat. Logically she knew full heat could come upon her at any moment, and what she’d experienced earlier was only a precursor to that eventuality. Yes, she’d been in heat for over a week, but what had come before was nothing compared to the furnace-blast she knew would overtake her just before she finally managed to shift.
Oddly conflicted, she wanted to embrace this, get it over with, yet another part of her felt such fear of the unknown, she wanted to scream. Terror seized her briefly, along with pounding waves of lust and hunger.
Wishing the guys would hurry home, she breathed deeply and decided to try occupying her mind with mundane tasks. Anything was preferable to the gripping fear.
Heading through the living room, Livvy jerked to a stop when unexpected and unbearable fire lanced through her belly.
A curling rope of intense sexual need blasted downward to settle in her pussy.
It was here. Now. It was upon her.
Gasping as cream flooded her panties, Olivia fell to her knees. Tears poured from her eyes as she shoved her hands into the front of her stretchy shorts to tease her aching flesh. A cry broke from her lips when she thrust her fingers deep and instant orgasm racked her body with endless spasms.
Her nipples hardened painfully to press against the satiny cups of her bra. The sensation was more than she could bear and she whipped her tee shirt off and threw it aside. The bra quickly followed as she took her nipples with drenched fingers and plied them steadily, squeezing and releasing, hoping to give herself relief from the ache of sexual hunger. Air burst from her lungs on a low moan and pleasure streaked from her nipples to rip through her core as a jungle beat thrummed in her blood. Her bones ached oddly as the beast moved in her struggle to be born.
Gods!
Frantically, Livvy crawled on shaking hands and knees to the coffee table where she’d left her phone. Pressing speed dial, she connected instantly with Daniel.
“Home!” she gasped. “Hurry…” And then there was nothing as the phone fell from her trembling fingers.
A red haze filled her mind, leaving her suddenly disoriented. Summoning every last bit of strength as the raging lust tore through her body, Livvy crawled toward the foot of the stairs, collapsing there in a heap of agony. Sexual hunger flashed in pulsing waves with no beginning and no end and there was nothing she could do but wait for help.
Unaware of how much time had passed, she wept when she finally heard the sounds of doors slamming and boot heels striking against hardwood floors. The vibrations swept over her like a million tiny ants marching across her skin.
Strong arms wrapped around her, lifting her, and she vaguely felt movement as someone carried her up the stairs. Livvy opened her eyes and stared into Daniel’s face. Worry curved his black brows and his jaw was tense. “I’ve got you,” he murmured.
“Fuck me, Daniel. Nownownow!”
Daniel growled a response, moving with her into the bedroom. Her frantic gaze swept the room to see Nate stripping off his clothes. Gods, he was beautiful. They both were. Muscles bunched and moved on Nathan’s back as he bent to strip the bedcovers to the foot of the bed. Her nipples pressed against Daniel’s muscular chest and she turned her attention to the man who held her so protectively.
She needed to tell him to hurry. She wanted to scream the words but they’d all fled her brain. Opening her mouth on a soundless cry, she gasped when Daniel pressed her against the nearest wall. Her shorts and panties disappeared in a flash, and as the next wave of lust speared her, his cock thrust deep.
Savagely he fucked her against the wall and she could do nothing but hold on for the wild ride. Each heavy upstroke brushed searing, pulsing nerve endings. The walls of her pussy contracted, hanging on, squeezing until one sensation barreled headlong into the next. With each hard stroke of his cock pounding deep, the heat increased until it knotted tighter and tighter. A scream broke from her throat as her nails dug deep into the hot flesh of Daniel’s back.
Sliding her eyes open, dazed, she noted the flash of fang, the fierce expression he wore—and knew this was only the beginning.
Daniel kissed her, his breath hot in her mouth as air pumped quickly from his lungs. His tongue brushed hers, teasing mercilessly. Loving the taste of him, needing the connection, she returned his kiss, eating at his mouth as if starved.
When Daniel moved her away from the wall, she felt warm flesh at her back, realizing Nate had joined them. Her breasts were crushed against Daniel’s chest and Nathan stroked his nudity against her in a s
inuous motion. The perfection of his body made her mouth water and then he made a low purring sound that caused his chest to vibrate, setting off another round of need inside her body. Without breaking Daniel’s kiss, she reached back to clutch Nathan’s head. He rested his lips against her neck and lightly scraped that tender flesh with his fangs.
Livvy tensed as raw sensation tore through her.
Nothing was over. There would be no reprieve as her beast clawed to break free.
Daniel withdrew his cock from her body and stepped back, letting Nathan pull her into his arms. Daniel crawled onto the mattress and lay flat on his back, giving his friend a telling look. Without hesitation, Nate arranged her body over Daniel’s face, her thighs rested on either side of his head.
When his hot breath brushed her quivering flesh, she gasped. Livvy’s lips hovered over the head of Daniel’s thick, still-erect cock. Unable to resist, she dragged her tongue over the heavy head, licking a drop of moisture that clung there. Daniel went still. Tension radiated from his big body.
“Suck him, Livvy. He needs you. Hell, I need you too. Come on,” Nate whispered. “Yeah, that’s it, sweet darlin’. Open your mouth and take him. Ah yeah. That’s right. Now you just keep that up. After you come I’m going to fuck your hot pussy.”
Olivia was too far gone to respond.
Nathan stroked the lines of her back, his touch warm, as she filled her hands with Daniel’s balls. They were drawn up tightly against his body and she realized belatedly that he’d not yet come. A savage sense of possession filled her, knowing these men belonged to her, and suddenly her need to shift into her beast took a backseat to pleasing her mates. Swallowing him down became the easiest, sexiest thing she’d ever done as she plied the heavy stalk with her tongue, sucking Daniel, sipping his strength with tugs and pulls of her mouth.
That distinctive jaguar coughing sound broke from his throat to vibrate against her pussy as he began to eat her out, spearing his tongue deep then dragging it over her trembling skin. As he drew her clit into his mouth, Daniel’s hands gripped her thighs. Intent on his task, he devoured her flesh as they moved in tandem, each reaching for that spectacular moment of climax. Pleasure spiked sharply, drawing from her a cry that was muffled by Daniel’s cock between her lips. Higher and higher she climbed, riding Daniel’s mouth. The power of her climax poured over her as Daniel, too, reached crisis point. His body stiffened seconds before his cum jetted into her mouth.
Livvy barely had time to come down from the euphoria. No rest. No time to breathe. The men moved, changing things up until she was face-to-face with Daniel. He leaned against the headboard, watching her with eyes filled with a lush mixture of desire and satisfaction. Her knees settled on either side of his thighs. He kissed her deeply while Nathan, who had moved into place behind her, stroked her trembling pussy. Breaking the possessive kiss, she gripped Daniel’s broad shoulders as Nathan played with her. Daniel stroked her breasts as he whispered seductive promises against her hair.
Nathan moved his hands over her sides, stroking her flesh with his warm palms before focusing his concentration on her butt. “Ready for me? I need to fuck you, Livvy.”
Speaking was beyond her so she didn’t try. Clenching her teeth on the flesh of Daniel’s shoulder, she held on her dear life as Nathan dipped a finger into her pussy. The feel of two pairs of hands on her body was indescribable. Anticipation built…
Nate groaned low then buried his hard cock deep.
Pistoning hard and fast, he brought Livvy’s body up again while Daniel stroked her clit, pinching, rubbing the hard knot of flesh. Sensations crashed through her, one after the other. Needing them both, needing them now, she reached beneath her for Daniel’s cock and fisted it. Male hunger, powerful lust surrounded her and fire flashed through her limbs. Nathan thrust deeper, harder, as energy hummed through the air. Her body seized in a massive climax…
Nathan and Daniel broke simultaneously and as Livvy spiraled out of control, her men came with her.
Chapter Four
Days of marathon sex left the three of them limp with satisfaction, raw with emotion and so exhausted they could barely move. Respites were brief but they took the short moments they were given by the gods to eat, bathe and rest.
There was no doubt in Livvy’s mind that humans would be physically unable to handle something like this. She’d always been faster than human women. Stronger too. But as the changes in her body began, she’d started to feel more animal than human. Impossibly there was little soreness and it was obvious her mates weren’t suffering either.
Extreme passion, at least for her, had also brought with it even stronger emotions. Thoughts of love teased the perimeter of her mind. Impossible, yet there it was.
Nate and Daniel were perfect, perfect for her, and she couldn’t imagine her life without them.
Livvy lay between her mates, utterly satiated, her limbs entwined with theirs, and felt a comfort, a feeling of home that she’d never known before. It was on the tip of her tongue to be honest and tell them how she felt but she held off. Maybe it was prideful of her but she wanted the words to come from them first.
Silly thing, pride. Once she’d claimed her beast and changed from woman to giant jungle cat, her mates would communicate telepathically with her. There would be no secrets, no subterfuge. Just honesty. Then all would be revealed.
As the moon rode heavy in the sky, Daniel trailed a cool, damp cloth over her hot body while Nathan lazily drew his tongue over her nipple.
“That feels so good,” she whispered, loving the attention of her mates. “Do you think it’ll be much longer? I feel her. She’s close…so close.”
Nathan released her nipple and looked down at her. “These things take time, sweetheart. Before long you’ll—”
Olivia gasped as a blast of energy caused her back to bow against the mattress.
“What the—?” Daniel sat upright and tossed the cloth aside. “What is that?”
“You feel it too?” Olivia’s eyes went wide and her gums tingled painfully. A low cough broke from her lips and she started to shake.
“Daniel, open the doors,” Nate yelled as he released her body long enough to reach for something on the nightstand. Olivia didn’t know what it was and didn’t really care, because suddenly her beast rolled, hissing her need to be born in a tone that only Olivia could hear. The brush of fur rubbed her belly, the friction setting off a volcanic fire that rolled through her cunt in a low wave. Another coughing sound broke from her lips and her fangs burst free of her gums.
Thrashing on the bed, the sizzle and pop of crazy energy zinging through her blood, she cried out for Daniel and Nathan.
Daniel grabbed her shoulders and she went still. Fear ripped through her and she bit her lip to stifle a scream, drawing blood. She stared into her mate’s intense black eyes.
“You’re ready. Don’t fight the energy and don’t fight us, Olivia. She’s ready to come now so you just hang on tight. We’ll take you at once, giving you every bit of our power. Do you understand?”
She must have nodded because he murmured, “Good, that’s good. We’ve been holding back, honey, but we can’t do that anymore.”
Nathan took the hand that lay curled against the sheets and wrapped it around his cock. “Feel how much we want you. Our beasts want you too. Trust us.”
The time for talking ended as the energy surrounding them grew in strength. Lust slid through Livvy as her jaguar struggled to break free. Cream drenched her pussy and her body burned to be fucked, taken.
Nathan drew her over his body, his cock pressing where she most needed him, but the relief was short-lived. Clawing and scratching, frantic for relief, she rose over him and impaled herself on his stiff erection. Nathan’s hips thrust high and hard. He cried out, a raw, savage sound, his fangs flashing white in the darkness.
Hands pushed her down until her breasts were flattened against Nathan’s chest.
From his position behind her, Daniel bent to her
ear. “I’m going to fuck your ass now, Olivia. You’ll feel some lube, some pressure. Hang on tight, honey. You’ll feel our full power before this night is over.”
She barely noticed as Daniel spread the cool fluid but stilled when his fingers circled slowly at her entrance. When he slid one inside to the first knuckle, followed quickly by a second, dark pleasure ripped through Livvy and the feel of Nathan’s cock buried deep in her pussy intensified. Nonsensical words broke free, mingled with her heavy cries.
Daniel pressed his fingers deeper, scissoring them to widen her for his possession.
Her heart drummed, threatening to burst as he finally, finally settled the head of his cock at the entrance to her anus…
When he pressed inside, she moaned.
As Daniel pushed in, Nathan eased out.
A scream ripped from her throat.
The men moved in rhythm, filling every empty space. Their voices filled her head. It was here. Now. It was time, and the telepathic connection roared through her brain.
So damn good. Daniel groaned.
Yes. Gods yes! Livvy’s own voice rang sharply in her mind.
“Damn. Damn! It’s here. We’re connected,” Nathan said aloud, gasping as he moved relentlessly in and out of her body. Finally.
Olivia wanted to continue the magical conversation but the only things rolling through her mind were hisses and growls. Her beast was taking over and Olivia wasn’t sure she liked it. Fighting for supremacy was futile, she knew; the beast would always win.
“Don’t fight her, sweetheart,” Daniel said. “You won’t lose yourself. Not permanently. I promise.”
Nate pushed higher and harder into her pussy, rotating his hips until pleasure burst over her clit and vibrated through her core. She tightened her body and both men hissed with pleasure. Magical energy beat through her body, lashing her with intensity she couldn’t begin to describe. A blast of power shook her and she realized it came from her mates.
