She lifted her right hand off Stone and stretched her arm backward to pet Reuben. His long, lean side was the easiest part of him to reach, and she stroked the back of her hand up and down against his skin. He was hot and sweaty, breathing heavily from his exertions.
When she held her breath, she could feel his heart pumping. That was amazing. All three of them were joined by her body, and their three hearts were beating as one.
Reuben’s arms moved until his hands bracketed her body, his palms laid flat on the bedding as his hips pumped faster against her ass. Underneath her, Stone’s hips snapped up and down in time with his thrusts. Both men maintained a completely united stroke and speed, doubling the effect of the fucking for her. The two of them withdrew together and then jackhammered back inside her together, their bodies working as a single unit to bring her the ultimate in pleasure.
Indigo was coated in sweat, although she suspected most of it was from the men. She loved the feeling that they were so united, so enmeshed in each other, that even their perspiration had blended together into a single sheen across their bodies.
The orgasm that was never far away from her when her men touched her had coiled up tightly in her belly, and now it was destroying her ability to think and plan. Her body was hyperalert, all her senses focused on the men and their intimate touching. Their cocks stroked up and down the walls of her most secret places, arousing the myriad nerve endings there in a way no man had ever done before. The orgasms Stone and Reuben gave her were so much bigger, brighter, harder, and more fulfilling than anything her own fingers or a plastic toy could bring her. Stone and Reuben encompassed her with their love, and that made all the difference.
Right now she was so close to coming she could scream with desperate need. And yet, once she exploded, the moment would be over.
She knew both men must be as close to release as she was, yet they were holding back until she orgasmed first. That was true consideration, genuine gentlemanliness. So, while she wanted not to come yet, to let this time of closeness go on and on, that wouldn’t be fair to them.
Indigo sucked in a mouthful of Stone’s salty shoulder and focused on the feelings flooding her mind and heart. She petted Reuben’s side and stroked both their legs with her toes. And then she relaxed between their bodies and let all the sensations flood her synapses as her orgasm raced through her body and slammed out through her cunt, her ass, her breasts, and the top of her head.
Fireworks burst behind her closed eyelids, and she sucked harder on Stone’s flesh so she didn’t scream her delight to the pack. Her body shook and shivered between the men, as hard, fast aftershocks raced through her, and she completely lost all ability to think. Indigo lay limply between them until she could summon up enough strength to murmur, “Wow.”
The men had both paused in their fucking as she came. Her cunt and ass muscles had gripped their cocks firmly, so she guessed they’d had to stop right then. But now they pulled out and slammed into her fast and hard. In only a few moments, she felt bursts of heat in her cunt and her ass as they both came as well. Now she could relax. They’d all orgasmed, and the rest of their life would get sorted out somehow.

Stone had only just returned from showering when his cell phone beeped with a message.
Pls bring Reuben and Indigo and be in my office 15 minutes.
“Fifteen minutes? Holy shit.” The lines for the showers weren’t very long, but every shower had been occupied when he and Reuben had lined up. It wasn’t as if they could bang on the door and tell the person inside to hurry up like he could at home when it was just one of his brothers.
He had no way of knowing whether Reuben had gotten into the shower just moments after he did or only seconds before he came out of his shower. Indigo had gone first, and just because she wasn’t back yet didn’t mean she wasn’t at her car or in the house or who knows where. All Stone knew was that her small suitcase was in the tent and she wasn’t.
He’d opened the door flap and the window to air the tent out, so now he stared at his cell phone ready to send the message to Indigo and to Reuben. There was just one problem. He had no idea of their numbers. They’d been together all weekend, and he’d not needed their cell phone numbers. So how was he to contact them? If he started walking around looking for them, he could miss them if they went straight back to the tent.
Stone rubbed a hand through his hair trying to think. Would they be more likely to go to the barbecue pit to collect breakfast first? Or would they come back to the tent as he’d done? He tried to put himself in their shoes. Likely Indigo had lots of things she needed to do this morning. The pack would begin dismantling the big tent, and the decorations were all her work. He had no clue whether or not she’d want to keep and reuse them, but it seemed logical to him that she’d want to be there. But surely she’d bring her towel and shower things back here first?
And why had the Alpha texted him? Reuben was older than him and had gone to school in Towler, so likely the Alpha knew him better than Stone, so why him and not Reuben? And what did the Alpha want with them anyway? Surely he wasn’t going to tell them they couldn’t be together? That didn’t make sense. The Alpha wanted his pack to form alliances and find their mates.
Damn this was confusing. How the fuck was he supposed to know what to do now?
Stone paced around the tent, up and down, up and down, careful not to go too near any other person’s space. Indigo and Reuben must come back here. They wouldn’t want to walk around with a towel and a tube of toothpaste. The most logical and sensible action would be to return to the tent first, and both Indigo and Reuben were eminently sensible.
He hadn’t looked at the exact time the message came through, and was about to check, when he saw Reuben heading into the campground. He waved his arm and Reuben gave him a thumbs-up. What did that mean? Was he just saying hi, or did he know about the message?
Oh. Maybe the Alpha had texted all of them. Stone sighed with relief. Of course. The Alpha was organized, and that’s what he would have done. Stone had been worrying for no reason. Except that there was still no sign of Indigo. Maybe she was already over at the barbecue pit or even at the house.
“Did you get the Alpha’s message?” he called out as soon as Reuben was nearby.
“I was just about to ask you the same question. Where’s Indigo?”
Stone shook his head. “I don’t know. I was hoping you would have seen her.”
“Nope. Is her towel here?”
“It’s not hanging up to dry.”
Reuben frowned. “It’s not a good idea to keep the Alpha waiting. Why don’t you go over to the tent and look for her there while I wait here in case she comes?”
“First, let’s exchange cell phone numbers. I just realized we should have done that already.”
“Hell yes. Here, give me your phone, and I’ll add myself to your contacts,” said Reuben.
Stone handed over his phone, exchanging it for Reuben’s, and added himself. They swapped cell phones again, and he walked back to the main gathering area. As he did, he looked all around trying to see Indigo. Some people were already packing up their tents to leave today. They were ones who had to work tomorrow or who only had a short distance to travel. People from farther away were mostly not going home until tomorrow.
But in among all the crowds of talking, laughing, busy wolves, he didn’t see Indigo’s shiny brown head. Damn, her hair had looked pretty last night all done up on top of her head. And it’d been wonderful to touch it when she’d let it hang down last night and this morning, too. He’d never seen it loose before, and it was longer than he’d expected, well below her shoulders. But right now he was expecting it see it in her usual tidy ponytail.
She wasn’t in the campground or at the barbecue pit. His stomach rumbled with hunger as he saw the trays of food laid out for breakfast. He was very tempted to snatch up an apple or a banana to eat to keep him going. But he wasn’t brave enough to do that knowing he mig
ht be keeping his Alpha—the man he’d sworn to obey and serve—waiting.
Stone checked the time of the message he’d received from the Alpha. He had only five minutes left to find her and get to Wolfric’s office. Moving faster, he peeked into the seniors’ tent. A small group of elders was sitting, sipping coffee and eating cookies. Next, he tried the children’s tent. The loud noises coming from there should have warned him the kids were watching a Disney movie and screaming with laughter. One of the mothers was with them, but no Indigo.
Finally he almost ran across to the tent. And there she was, talking to her brother Patton, who was up on a ladder. Of course, Patton was an electrician and likely he’d have a lot of work to do dismantling all the lighting systems. But Stone couldn’t wait any longer.
“Indigo, we need to go. The Alpha—”
“Yes, I know. Just give me two seconds.”
She said something more to Patton and then ran across the tent to him. He’d just swiped Reuben’s number. “She’s here. Hurry up.”
“On my way.”
They hurried into the Alpha’s house, and Stone let Indigo lead the way to his office. Stone was reasonably confident he could find the correct room, but Indigo clearly knew this house much better than he did. Likely because she lived here in Towler. For the first time he wondered what it would be like to have grown up knowing the Alpha of the pack personally. To him the Alpha was a distant authority figure, seen only once before, the time he’d sworn allegiance on his eighteenth birthday. But for those here in town, they’d see him all the time, going to the store and walking around on the streets. Maybe meet him at the dentist or waiting in line with him to pay a bill. The thought seemed strange to Stone.
Reuben appeared right behind them as Indigo tapped on the Alpha’s open office door.
“Ah come on in. Close the door behind you please, Reuben.”
Stone had to fight not to shiver. Why did the Alpha want them? What could he have to say to the three of them that was personal and private unless it was about their ménage?
* * * *
Like all the other members of his family, Reuben had promised to serve and obey his Alpha shortly after he turned eighteen. Technically, it could have happened on his eighteenth birthday, but the trip to Towler from their farm was a long one, around two hours, and required one of his parents taking the time to make the journey with him and stand with him before the Alpha.
As it had happened, things at the farm were too busy for his dad to leave right then, so he and his mom had made the journey together. They’d stayed a couple of days in the Towler Hotel, his first experience of seeing more of the town than the route the school bus ran or an occasional overnight stay with a friend during his time at high school. So being called in to meet with his Alpha was quite an alarming experience for Reuben. His first thought was that he must have broken some rule he knew nothing about. Then he’d realized that since all three of them had been summoned, the Alpha must want to talk about their ménage.
Reuben couldn’t imagine the Alpha would object to their mating. The Supreme Alpha of North America had legalized ménage matings over a year ago, so that wasn’t a problem.
Then he wondered if perhaps the Alpha wanted them to mate on his land. That made more sense, and Reuben was as sure as hell ready to agree with that instruction. But maybe Indigo wasn’t ready yet. And their relationship could only be a success if Indigo was one hundred percent ready for each step before they took it.
All of this meant that by the time he’d closed the door and stood before his Alpha, Reuben was a nervous wreck and almost ready to upchuck. Fortunately he hadn’t had time to eat breakfast yet, so controlling his roiling gut was easier than if he’d eaten some of the delicious food he’d smelled as he’d raced past the barbecue pit.
Firmly he shoved his hands into his pockets so he wouldn’t fidget with them.
“Indigo Windsor, Stone Wishram, Reuben Jenner, do you have something you need to tell me?”
Ah fuck! The Alpha is about to cut my balls off and feed them to me. I’m a dead man for sure.
He stared at Stone, but Stone looked just as worried as he felt. Swallowing down his nausea, he took a deep breath and said, “Yes, sir. Stone and I wish to mate Indigo. If you please.”
“That’s correct, sir,” added Stone.
Stone’s voice sounded level and firm. Reuben wasn’t sure he sounded half as confident.
“Indigo?” The Alpha hadn’t asked them to sit, and even though he was sitting and they were standing, he was most definitely in charge of the conversation.
“That’s fine by me, sir. Nothing has happened that I haven’t wanted to happen.”
“Sit down.”
Reuben waited until Indigo was seated before he dropped into a chair. His knees felt weak, and his stomach was still rolling and making him queasy. But at least he was still alive. So far.
“Stone and Reuben, when were you planning to mate Indigo? It’d be best to do it here on pack land. You can safely change into your wolves and run here.”
Reuben turned to Indigo and picked up her hand. On the other side of her, Stone mirrored his actions.
“Will you mate us, please? The Alpha is correct. A mating on pack land would be perfect.”
“Yes, I will mate you here. I feel at home on this land.”
Reuben would have liked to kiss her but didn’t think that was a good idea right now. So he did what he’d done at the ball, lifting her hand and dropping a kiss onto the delicate skin on the inside of her wrist.
“Good. Now that we’ve settled that, I have work for the three of you to do.”
Reuben sat up straighter in his chair. “Work?”
“Some months ago Jasmine witnessed an attempt to traffic guns.”
He knew all about that, and it made no sense at all. Nevada was an open-carry state and a “shall issue” state for concealed carry. Why bring in guns?
“As soon as I heard about it, I guessed who was involved, and the team I had follow the perpetrators was able to confirm my suspicions. Since then, I’ve been in discussions with the group, and I think you three can help them.”
“Help criminals? I don’t understand,” said Stone.
“What about the danger to Indigo?” argued Reuben.
“Hear me out.”
It was not a suggestion. Reuben closed his mouth and sat silently in his chair. He clasped his hands together tightly, the fingers interlaced with each other so he wouldn’t crack his knuckles from nerves and annoy the Alpha.
“A small group of wolves from up north drifted into my territory maybe twelve months ago. They are not desert wolves and don’t pay me allegiance. It seems they’re a group who split from their own pack to try to find a sensible way to make a living and to locate mates. Technically I suppose they’re rogues, but they aren’t particularly roguish. In fact they seem quite level-headed and connected to reality. However, their plan to make money was lacking in forethought, and they haven’t had a lot of success with it.”
“The guns? They were planning to sell them? But why not just open a gun store?” asked Indigo.
“Hear me out.”
Indigo sat up straighter in her chair between him and Stone.
“Several federal agencies work with the Office of National Drug Control Policy. One of these agencies, in a moment of complete idiocy, offered a two million dollar reward to any person or group who brought them information that would lead to the arrest of a very active drug cartel. These wolves bought and gathered together a large quantity of guns, which they planned to swap for drugs with the cartel. They would then claim the reward.”
That didn’t sound either sensible or logical to Reuben. It sounded downright dangerous.
“I have convinced them to resell the guns in a more conventional manner and to look to other methods of forming an ongoing and profitable business.”
Reuben looked down. Yeah. He could imagine the Alpha “convincing” people to do something. Power e
xuded from the man and anyone too stupid to see that deserved whatever happened to them.
“Are they going to be part of our pack, sir?” he asked.
“They have to prove to me they are worthy of joining first. However, they are young men with energy and ingenuity. If that energy can be directed into a better method of earning a living, I think they would be a welcome part of this pack. But that’s all in future.”
Reuben still didn’t understand why the Alpha was telling them this. If the former rogues weren’t going to become pack members just yet, what did it have to do with him? With them? Hell, even if they were going to be accepted into the pack, why summon the three of them into his office like this? There had to be more to this story.
The Alpha folded his hands on his desk. For the first time Reuben noticed that, apart from a computer and a pile of papers with a heavy, old-fashioned stapler on top of them acting as a paperweight, the desk was bare. Either the Alpha kept up to date with his paperwork, or else it was all locked away somewhere so no one would see it.
“Once you three mate, you’ll have a number of decisions to make. Where it was obvious that Jasmine, Hunter, and Damien would all move into Damien’s house, and that Chloe will go to live with Forest and Nyander, your situation is by no means clear. It’ll be up to the three of you to decide where you’ll live.”
Wolfric paused for a moment, but there was no way Reuben would interrupt him. The Alpha had explained the problem facing them very succinctly.
“So, while you are working through the issues, I’m going to take you away from where your family and friends might try to interfere in your thought processes and send you to this new pack. The young men need vision and guidance about discovering how to earn a living and how to make a comfortable life in the desert. You’re all born and bred desert people, but with very different backgrounds. Between the three of you, Indigo, Stone, and Reuben, you should be able to open these men’s minds to a wealth of possibilities. I’ve told them you’ll be staying with them for two months.”
