Between Two Crocs: BBW Shapshifter Romance (Safari Shifters Book 2)

by Lola Kidd

  Finn stopped kissing her to take off her tank top and Max unhooked her bra. They were moving quickly. She had started the encounter, but she could see the twins were going to take the lead. Fine by her. Lily was more than content to let the men lavish her with attention and see where it all went. There was going to be plenty of time for her to take charge again. Feeling both of their mouths on her, she knew there was no way this was a one-time thing. Even with two of them, she didn’t think she’d ever get enough.

  Her skin was on fire and she already couldn’t catch her breath. Finn pulled off his shirt and her eyes went straight to his muscular abs. They were in such great shape. Finn unbuttoned her shorts and Max pulled them down. Max knelt behind her and pulled down her panties too.

  He slapped her lightly on her ass. “You’re perfect. Every single part of you is perfect.”

  Finn nodded. “I don’t know how we ever let you get away from us. You are the most gorgeous woman, and you’re so sweet. I can’t believe how stupid we were before.”

  “Go on,” Lily said. She hoped they never stopped. They could tell her she was beautiful all day and she would never tire of hearing it. “You two are freaking hot as hell. I don’t know what I was thinking before. We could have done this months ago.”

  “Don’t worry.” Finn took off his pants. “We have all night to make up for lost time.”

  Lily hadn’t thought she could get any wetter, but she was wrong. Finn was hard as a rock and huge. She turned to kiss Max and take off his pants too. He didn’t disappoint.

  It really was her lucky night. Two dark haired, golden-skinned gods stood before her and they were all hers. She wasn’t sure if she could handle both of them at the same time, but she was going to try.

  Finn’s cock pressed into her back as she kissed Max. He rubbed himself along her ass crack and she shivered again. Then Max ran his hand over her breast and squeezed lightly at the same moment Finn ran a finger along her slit from behind.

  Lily moaned. “Don’t stop.”

  Max lowered his head to her chest and took one of her nipples in his mouth. At the same time, Finn pressed a finger into her dripping wet channel. Her body pulsed around him and her stomach fluttered. Lily moaned as she came.

  “You’re so wet,” Finn said as he pulled his finger out of her. He pressed on Lily’s shoulders and she bent forward until she was eye level with Max’s cock. She wrapped her fingers around Max and brought him to her lips.

  Max moaned as she licked the tip and swirled her tongue around it. He held her long hair away from her face with one hand and gripped her shoulder with the other. Finn pushed her legs further apart with his foot and then rubbed his hard cock across her wet lips. He held her steady with a hand on her hip as he pressed inside of her slowly. Lily moaned as he slowly stretched her open.

  When his pelvic bone hit her ass, Finn moaned and squeezed her hip. “God, you feel good.”

  Lily could only moan in reply. She pushed back against him to make sure she got her point across. It felt so incredible. She continued to work Max with her mouth and hands as Finn took her from behind. Lily came quickly as Finn began to pick up speed. Her knees almost buckled when he leaned down and brushed a finger across her hard nub.

  Finn leaned all the way over her back as he played with her. Max held her head in place as he stilled and threw his head back. He moaned as he came in her mouth. Lily grabbed his ass and swallowed it all down.

  Max stroked her cheek. “That was amazing.”

  He stepped back as Lily came again, then Finn stood up and grabbed her by both hips. He pounded into her quickly until he too was spilling himself deep inside. Lily came again hearing Finn yell her name as he finished.

  Max fell onto the couch, pulled her into his lap and kissed her. “You’re amazing.”

  “Thanks. That was…wow.” Lily struggled to catch her breath.

  Finn sat down and pulled her legs over his lap. “Yeah. I know. Wow.”

  They sat quietly together until she felt Max getting hard again. “Round two?”

  Max pushed up against her. “Round two.”

  They had gone for round two and round three before Lily had to call it quits. She was starving and was sure if they went on any longer she wouldn’t be able to walk in the morning. She couldn’t stop smiling as Finn made them all cold chicken sandwiches.

  “This is turning out to be a much better vacation than the last time I was on Safari Island,” she said.

  “It could be like this all the time,” Max said. “You don’t have a job now. Why go back to the States?”

  “What would I do here?”

  He shrugged. “Get a job and live with us. Addison did it.”

  “I’m not Addison,” Lily said.

  “But you’re our mate,” Finn told her. “If you don’t want to stay here, we’ll come and live with you.”

  Lily held up her hands. “Whoa! Let’s not just throw the M-word around. We’re having a good time. No need to get all serious.”

  “But you are our mate,” Max said. “We know it. You have to feel it too. I’ve never loved anyone I barely knew before. That has to mean something.”

  “You love me?” Lily squeaked.

  It was one thing to think it. Hearing it out loud was sobering. She wasn’t sure she could say it back. She had felt a connection to the twins all day, and the last few hours had been earth-shattering. But she wasn’t sure if that meant she loved them. It was possible, but she didn’t want to rush it. At least not without a little time to think away from the twins.

  “I love you too,” Finn said. “I think you know what’s going on here. You don’t have to be scared. Max is right: you are our mate. Did you know we were fighting before you got here?”

  “Addison told me that.”

  Max nodded. “We were. But as soon as we got near you, it was all gone. I don’t even know why we were mad at each other anymore.”

  Finn smiled and put his hand on Max’s shoulder. “Me either. That’s all because of you, Lily.”

  She swallowed hard. “I don’t know. I think I need to sleep on it. I don’t want to say something before I’m ready.”

  “That’s fine.” Max kissed her on the cheek. “Take all the time you want.”

  Lily smiled weakly. She was suddenly feeling two really was better than one. The twins were so sweet and it felt so right. Could it be love?

  She would sleep on it and decide after the rehearsal dinner. A little time wouldn’t hurt anyone.

  “You think she’ll stay?” Max asked Finn for the third time that night.

  “I don’t know. We’ll have to wait and see,” Finn said.

  Max wanted to be chill about it all, but he couldn’t think of anything besides their mate. They’d had a great night together and she seemed to be into them. She had to feel the same bond that he felt after they’d made love.

  “Maybe we should have marked her,” he said.

  “We have to ask her first. I don’t want to mark someone who doesn’t belong to us.”

  “But maybe it would have helped ease her mind. I heard it’s really helpful to human mates.”

  Finn pulled on his blazer. “Maybe, but I’m not going to do that. We can wait. It’s only a few more hours.”

  Max nodded and followed Finn outside.

  The rehearsal dinner was taking place on the yacht used for island tours. They were riding out to the yacht with a big crowd. It was a noisy bus ride over, but Max barely heard any of it. He wasn’t going to be able to get a moment’s peace until he marked his mate and knew she was his forever.

  When he saw Lily waiting with the group at the pier, his heart leaped. He rushed over to kiss her hello.

  “Hey.” She rubbed his arm. “You look nice.”

  Finn kissed her too. “You look great too.”

  She was wearing a short purple dress with a flared skirt that showed off her great legs. She spun around once. “What, this old thing? Wait
until you see my maid of honor’s dress.”

  “Oh, shoot. I gotta find the boss man.” Max looked around for Gummy. He had only been invited to the rehearsal dinner since he was Gummy’s assistant. It wasn’t a hard job at all. Ward had arranged it so Max had the next few days off his job at the airport. He felt bad for his co-workers who were going to pick up the slack, but he didn’t mind the break. Being Gummy’s assistant was pretty easy. He’d spent the day making coffee and checking the marble and feather arrangements for the reception tables.

  He spotted Gummy talking to the chef and went over. “Hey, boss. Need me to do anything?”

  Gummy put his finger next to his mouth. “Let me think. I guess you can go and make sure the table is decorated properly and the place settings are in the right places.”

  Max nodded. He went onto the ship and was surprised to see photographers milling around snapping shots. He’d thought they were only going to take pictures of the wedding.

  He tried to stay out of the shots as he checked the room. There were a few seating mistakes but mostly, it all looked great. The giant peacock feathers in the flower arrangements were beautiful. They were discarded choices from the reception that Gummy had decided couldn’t be used. Max had liked them, but he saw why Addison wouldn’t. It would make conversation difficult at the reception venue.

  He’d learned a lot about wedding planning from just his one day on the job. At least it was good practice for when they married Lily.

  Max went back outside and gave Gummy a thumbs up before returning to Finn and Lily, who were talking with Addison’s parents.

  “It’s time to board,” Gummy called out ten minutes later.

  The whole crowd filed onto the giant yacht. Max had only been on the boat for one cruise before this. He and Finn were seated on either side of Lily for the meal. It wasn’t exactly what Gummy had planned originally, but Max had convinced him to ease up. Branch had originally been seated between Lily and Addison’s father, but now he was seated between Ward and Chet.

  The festivities got started with the captain welcoming everyone on board and giving them a rundown of the safety procedures. Max kept his arm around the back of Lily’s chair for the whole speech. He was a little uncomfortable that the photographers were snapping away, but he supposed he had to get used to it. They were going to be a frequent sight for the next few days.

  Before the main course was served, Ward stood up. “Excuse me, everyone. I’d like to say a few words.”

  The tables all quieted and everyone in the room turned their attention to him. “Thanks. For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Ward Langston and I work in PR here on Safari Island. I wanted to thank the lovely bride and groom for allowing us to turn their intimate wedding into a circus.”

  He paused to allow his audience to laugh before he continued. “Seriously, we can’t thank you enough for letting us use your special day to advertise our new corporate ventures. When I saw that two such attractive people were getting hitched, I knew I could use it to our advantage. So I have to also thank the parents.” Ward raised his glass to the Gallows and Littles. “Thank you, guys, for making such a good-looking pair of people.”

  Chet kissed the back of Addison’s hand and raised his glass to Mr. and Mrs. Little. “I have to agree with Ward, here.”

  The room clapped. Max had to admit it was cute. Chet was really lucky, and Max had to thank Addison for bringing Lily back to the island. If it wasn’t for their big wedding, he and Finn wouldn’t have gotten another chance with Lily. He would remember to thank her at their wedding.

  Ward raised his glass to the happy couple. “Thank you both for allowing us to capture your special day. Pictures of a couple so deeply in love are going to do wonders for our business. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness.”

  The room applauded and then the waiters started bringing out plates of food.

  “Excuse me.” Lily stood up. “I need to go to the little girls’ room before we eat.”

  Finn kissed her before she left. “She’s looking a little queasy. I bet she’s not used to being on water.”

  “I hadn’t noticed,” Max said. “She didn’t say anything.”

  “She took a pill for motion sickness while you were doing work for Gummy.”

  Max nodded. “I hope she’s okay.”

  “I’ll go look for her if she isn’t back in a minute. I’m sure we’ll find her with her head over the side of the boat.”

  Max chuckled. “Maybe we should give her a minute extra. I know I hate throwing up in front of people.”

  Finn nodded. “Good idea.”

  ***

  Lily hung her head over the side of the boat and took a deep breath. She hated being sick. When she’d heard the dinner was taking place on the water, she had known to pack her pills. The slow rocking of the boat made her feel awful.

  “How convenient.”

  She whipped around in disbelief. “Mr. Angelsen?”

  Her boss nodded. “In the flesh.”

  She couldn’t believe her eyes. A bald-headed hulking figure came toward her. The familiar face’s menacing glare made her stomach turn. Maybe the pills were making her hallucinate. “What are you doing here?”

  “I thought I needed to pay my favorite employee a little visit,” Dave Angelsen said sarcastically. He moved closer and grabbed her around the arm. “I was on my way out of the country and I decided to make a quick trip here before heading to the Philippines.”

  Lily looked at his hand. “What?”

  Nothing was making any sense and her stomach rolled. She hung her head over the side rail and threw up into the ocean.

  “I didn’t think it would so easy to get close to you, but this party made it really easy.” He pulled her closer and his black eyes flashed. “I don’t appreciate threats.”

  Lily was afraid. She was on a boat full of people, but there wasn’t anyone nearby. Mr. Angelsen was a big man, at least six feet tall and much stronger than she was. Whatever he wanted, he wasn’t going to be good. She thought back to the self-defense class she’d taken in high school and stomped the top of his foot with all her might.

  “Ouch!”

  Instead of letting her go, Angelsen picked her up and threw her over the side of the yacht. Lily screamed as she hit the water. They weren’t moving fast, but they were already far away from the shore. If she couldn’t get back on board quickly, she could get lost at sea. She could end up dead in a watery grave. She had no idea how long it would take someone to come looking for her. Who knows how far away the yacht would be by then.

  To her surprise, a second later, Angelsen hit the water. For a moment, she was elated. Maybe he’d made a mistake and hadn’t meant to throw her overboard.

  “What are you doing?” she demanded.

  “You’ve annoyed me, Lily, and I want to make sure you don’t contact anyone until I’m very far away.”

  “You can just let me go. No one will even know where you’re going. I don’t know anything.”

  Lily started to swim toward where she thought the dining area of the yacht was. She needed to get someone’s attention.

  “Probably, but this is a personal task for me.” To her astonishment, Angelsen began to transform. “You’re an awful worker. I only hired you so I would have someone to take the fall for me, and you messed that all up. The least you can do is die quickly. I’d feel a lot better if that happened.”

  Lily watched in horror as her former boss turned from a hulking man into an even bigger shark. She’d known he was a water shifter, but she’d always imagined he was a turtle or a tuna or something.

  A shark? A freaking shark? She started to thrash in the water and scream loudly for help. She turned and swam as quickly as she could.

  She could feel the shark getting closer. Suddenly there was a giant splash in the water behind her. She didn’t take time to turn and look. She swam to put as much distance between herself and the shark as she could.

  “Lily! Lily! Over he
re!”

  She looked around and saw Max’s friend Shane hanging off the side of the boat on a flimsy ladder. There was thrashing behind her and she turned to see what it was. There were two giant crocodiles snapping at the shark. She was so shocked she couldn’t move. If she’d thought the shark was big, the crocodiles looked like something from a pre-historic era.

  “Come on!” Shane called. “Just keep swimming.”

  Lily tore her eyes from the fight and swam for Shane. She was exhausted by the time she reached him. He plucked her from the water and she clung to his back while he climbed onto the ship. As soon as she was on board, Addison wrapped her in a towel and Addison’s mother pulled her close. Her teeth were chattering from fright.

  “Are you okay? I can’t believe this happened. I am going to sue the pants off this company. Was the railing loose? What happened, honey?” Addison’s father was shaking with rage. “Are you okay, honey?”

  Lily nodded. But she was anything but okay. She could hear Max and Finn fighting with Angelsen in the water below. She was too terrified to even look at them, so instead she looked at Shane.

  “That shark is croc food. Don’t worry.”

  Her own parents were running down the deck toward her. Lily struggled to keep her eyes open. Hearing that her mates had killed her boss was too much for her. The world turned gray around the edges and then black as she lost consciousness.

  “Hey.” Finn was stroking Lily’s hair as she opened her eyes. “You’re having a nightmare.”

  She sat up fast and threw her arms around his neck. “Is this ever going to stop?”

  “Don’t worry,” he soothed. “It’ll get better.”

  Even though she had no injuries, Ward had insisted that she stay overnight in the hospital to be safe, with the company covering all the costs. Finn and Max were allowed to stay with her even though it was technically against hospital policy. Max had been able to sweet talk the nurse into agreeing that it was better for Lily if she had her mates close. Since the nurse was a shifter too, she had agreed.
