“You look absolutely ravishing as usual,” Trey drawled as he approached, Tyler by his side. Sabra smiled brightly and received a peck on the cheek from both of the men, who took up places on either side of her. It still amazed her how perfectly easy it all was. She had thought that being in a relationship with two men would be nothing but trouble from day one, but it turned out to be the exact opposite. She couldn’t imagine things running any smoother.
For all their differences, Trey and Tyler were driven by the same things, and keeping their newfound family safe and happy was the foremost thing on their lists, it seemed. While Tyler tended to be a bit wild and unpredictable, making Sabra laugh out loud and dragging her from adventure to adventure, Trey gave her all the warmth and deep emotional satisfaction she had so desperately yearned for. It didn’t matter if they were all discovering the mountains or just spending a night home, cooking and reading, the outcome was the same – utter bliss.
“Well, it seems that this time, the ranch will stand,” Trey said absentmindedly as they took in the sight of the almost finished construction. It was poetic in a way, Sabra thought – just like their relationship had been teetering on the brink of destruction and had been rebuilt bigger, stronger and better, so had the house risen from ashes. And what a house it was! Sabra couldn’t wait to meet this mysterious Leigh, who could afford to build a ranch house as lavish as this and still come off as a perfectly reasonable, if a bit reserved guy over the phone conversations they had had.
“It better,” Tyler growled, slipping an arm around Sabra’s waist. “We’ve been building it long enough.”
Sabra giggled, enjoying the quiet moment despite the hustle and bustle of a dozen men working simultaneously on the site. They had finished the kindergarten the week before, and she couldn’t be more relieved (especially since she was going to need Teresa’s help soon enough now). As soon as it had become obvious that she wouldn’t leave the Warfang brothers for anything, she’d called her old job and quit. The only time she’d spent away from Shifter Grove was to go home and pack her belongings, share a tearful goodbye with Tara and make her promise that she would come visit as soon as she could. Tara had been over for Sabra’s wedding, and if what she saw was any indication, her sassy friend would soon be back, and this time, hopefully on the arm of one of Tyler and Trey’s sexy friends.
In the beginning of the summer, everything had looked so damn bleak and depressing. And now, she could barely recognize her life. Gone was the frustration of working at a job she loved but couldn’t do right because of outside pressure – there was none of that in Shifter Grove. Tyler and Trey knew they needed someone to rein them in as far as work went, and Sabra was the right woman for the job. Her depressing love life had been swapped out for the most amazing sex she could ever have dreamed of, and the men who stood next to her, loved her with all their hearts. The way they grew stronger and more certain of everything they did with each passing day was plainly obvious – the Alpha trifecta was complete, and now nothing could tear them apart.
She took in the sight and sighed wistfully, tucking her hands into both Tyler and Trey’s back pockets.
“I love you,” she said softly, knowing she didn’t need to direct it at either of them. They knew. The chorus of answers she received in reply made her laugh out loud, and then, she received two hot kisses that made her toes curl, both completely different but so much alike.
Everything was better when there was two of it!

MAKE HIM PURR EXCERPT
He was among cowboys, after all. No need to try and clean up his speech. There wasn’t a general in sight for hundreds of miles who could fault him for sounding like a hick (which he was, and damn proud of it!).
“And you figured dealing with petty thieves and bears hanging from power lines would be just the kind of challenge to jump into right after the Navy? Man, you’re making me worry about our little town. I thought we had things all nice and calm here,” Tyler said with a grin, rousing a round of laughter.
Diesel shrugged mildly, keeping the thin smile on his lips. They were standing in a field near the south entrance to Shifter Grove, under the shade of some trees. Rake had invited him to really meet the rest of the founders (and the founder-adjacent, counting Slate), though he’d already been sworn in as sheriff two days ago after a city council meeting.
Diesel didn’t mind the opportunity to meet the supposed good guys of Shifter Grove. Even if he wasn’t expecting to make fast friends, he’d at least have to get to know what all of these men were about – for their protection as well as the town’s.
The process of being picked as the sheriff had been a pretty easy one. He’d only had to show up in his full parade uniform, his chest weighed down with medals and commendations from his countless tours (and another just as many stowed away in a box under his bed from secret missions that he didn’t quite want to be seen parading around), and that had been that.
Diesel knew he cut a nice form in his dress blues, but apparently being an ex-SEAL, and looking like he did, was enough to convince the men and women to trust him. Add in a warm, supportive speech from Rake, and they had things cooking nicely.
“It’s because most of the guys want to be you and most of the women want to fuck you,” Rake had commented dryly after the city council meeting.
Diesel didn’t know anything about that, but he wasn’t going to argue with a local about why things were going his way – not yet, anyway.
“I hear you guys have been having some issues with arsonists lately. And though I’m sure Rake can handle lions well enough, stuff like that shouldn’t be permitted at a place like this. So I think I’ll find plenty for myself to do. And if I don’t – well, wouldn’t that be just as good?” Diesel offered.
“My thoughts exactly,” Warren Sawtooth said warmly. “We’ll just need to get you a wife, and soon enough, you won’t even be able to imagine living anywhere else.”
Diesel smirked, shoving his feet into his boots and clipping the badge to his belt. He didn’t notice the conspiratory look that went between Rake and Warren at that point, and it was probably for the best. After all, wasn’t moving across the country, patching up his rather sudden and unhappy (though honorable) discharge from the military and settling into a new house enough for one panther to deal with for one week?
A woman. Right. Exactly what I need. I can drive her insane in two hours and she can practice her throwing arm by tossing cutlery at my head, Diesel mused, pulling his dark green shirt back on his chiseled body.
But of course, Shifter Grove tended to know what was best for a shifter better than he himself might have. And Diesel was going to learn that the hard way, fast.
