“You’re supposed to be sleeping.” Her eyes met his.
“Your sexiness woke me up.”
She snorted.
“Or it might be that I get horny after a fight.” On each stroke, his hand inched closer to the apex of her legs.
“The fight was hours ago.”
“Yes, and I’ve been horny ever since.”
Alex gazed at him for a second. “Aren’t you supposed to go to the doctor if it lasts longer than four hours?”
He grinned as he leaned in to kiss her. His fingers reached their goal, pushing aside her panties and grazing lightly over her folds.
When they took a breath, Alex said, “Shouldn’t we wake Ben?”
“I was thinking you could go down on him.”
“After I wake him up?”
“In order to wake him up. Believe me, it’s every guy’s dream to be woken up by a wet mouth around his cock.”
She felt her cheeks turn pink at his words. Odd, that she could do things like let both her mates penetrate her at once, but a little dirty talk made her flustered.
“I’ll help you turn over.” Chris’ fingers left her pussy wanting. He gripped her hips.
He had said he’d ‘help’ her turn over, but instead he lifted her easily and flipped her onto her knees. Alex pulled the blanket down Ben’s body. He only had his boxers on, and they were loose enough that she could pull the elastic waistband down to reveal his cock. She didn’t remember ever seeing it lie flaccid like this, soft and curled up on itself.
“Go ahead,” Chris said. “He’ll love it. I promise.”
Alex gripped Ben’s cock around the base. It felt different and didn’t stand up the way she was used to. Instead, it flopped over the edge of her thumb. She took the head into her mouth and sucked lightly on it, amazed to feel his cock getting harder almost immediately.
The harder he got, the easier it was to take more and more into her mouth until she was giving him a proper blow job.
His legs moved and he groaned. Alex looked up just in time to see his sleepy eyes opening and settling on her.
Ben grinned. “Good morning.”
Chapter 21
Alex continued to suck Ben, enjoying the look in his eyes.
Chris rubbed Ben’s chest. “Afternoon. And we’re not done sleeping. Just having a little interlude.”
His head falling back on a moan, Ben said, “I like interludes.”
Alex continued to suck him while Chris eased closer to give Ben a wake-up kiss. Chris tweaked Ben’s nipples.
“Want to try something new?” Chris said.
Ben’s fingers tangled in Alex’s hair as he rested his hand on her head. “Like what?”
“We could take things to the next level.” Chris’ hand slid down Ben’s body to rest on his groin. “You in Alex, and me in you.”
Alex paused, watching her mates’ faces. This moment seemed inevitable. Male mates spent years having sex with each other. But this first time…was Ben ready?
Ben rubbed Chris’ cheek. “You’ll be as careful as you were with Alex?”
“Of course.”
The side of Ben’s mouth quirked up. “Yeah. Let’s do it.”
Ben’s cock popped out of Alex’s mouth. “You’re injured. How are you going to do this without hurting yourself?”
Chris’ hand gripped Ben’s cock, stroking it right under her chin. “Before I woke you up I took a painkiller.”
“That’s not going to protect you from getting hurt worse.”
Chris shrugged one shoulder. “Sex releases all these endorphins and things. They’ll help me heal better.”
“Right,” Alex said. “That’s why doctors always say, ‘when you’re injured, go have sex.’”
Ben rubbed her head. “He’ll be fine. We’ll make sure he doesn’t hurt himself. Now, come and lie down.”
She sat up. “Why?”
“Cause this time, honey, you’re on the bottom.” Ben grabbed her around the waist and pulled her down on top of him, trapping Chris’ hand between them.
Chris and Ben both eased backward so Ben could roll her onto her back between them. While Chris pushed her tank top up above her breasts, Ben pulled her panties off and tossed them across the room. He pulled one of her legs over his and slid his fingers over her already slippery pussy.
“You’re already wet. Did going down on me do that for you?” Ben said.
“I fingered her before she woke you.” Chris rubbed one of her breasts and then the other.
Ben half-sat up, pushing his body to the bottom of the bed. “That just means she’ll be even juicier when I eat her.”
Alex felt her cheeks heat again. What was it with men and talking dirty? Especially when these two got together?
But when Ben attached his magnificent mouth to her pussy, she forgot about being embarrassed. God, he knew exactly what to do to drive her wild. His tongue felt like it was everywhere at once, stroking and massaging and all nice and wet.
Chris cupped her face and pulled her in for a kiss. When she closed her eyes she saw little shooting stars but wasn’t sure which of her mate’s mouths brought it on.
Ben’s tongue kept licking her, his mouth sucking her, until she shuddered over into a crazy orgasm made even sharper when Chris bit her marks. Her body tensed then careened into an even stronger orgasm. The fingers holding so tight to the bed sheets sprouted claws that dug into the mattress.
Finally her body fell back onto the bed, spent. “Amazing.”
Ben loomed over her, leaning on his arms. “That’s just the beginning.” He kissed her quickly. His knees nudged her legs apart. “You sure you’re up for this?” he said to Chris.
“I’m sure.”
His hand firmly on his cock, Ben positioned himself and slid into her. He went to his elbows over her and kissed her as he moved in and out.
* * *
The bed moved and groaned as Chris reached to the bedside table for the lube and another pill. His back hurt worse than he let on, but he didn’t want to stop. He missed being close to his mates, touching them, making love to them. This whole thing with the rogues had screwed up what should have been an amazing honeymoon of discovery. It was time he got things back on track.
He popped the pill and sipped a little water. Then he took the lube and crawled over to kneel behind Ben. Leaving the bottle lying on the bed, Chris kneaded Ben’s ass. It looked completely different from Alex’s but every bit as alluring.
Just as they had with Alex, Chris applied lube and worked it into Ben’s puckered hole. Ben slowed his thrusts as Chris pushed the first finger inside. As Chris worked him, Ben stopped moving entirely.
“How’s it feel?” Chris said.
Ben was breathing a little heavy. “Surprisingly good. I mean, like—really good.”
“Glad to hear it. I’d like this to be a regular thing.”
Ben twisted his head around to look at him. “In both directions.”
Chris’ stomach jumped a little at the thought of Ben sliding into him. This mate thing was frickin’ amazing.
After working a second and then a third finger into Ben, Chris said, “I think we’re ready.” He lubed up his cock to be sure he’d be extra slippery then pushed slowly into Ben.
Ben groaned.
Chris froze. “Too much?”
“Don’t stop.” Ben buried his face in Alex’s neck. “So good.”
Chris pushed in a little further. It was so good. Tight and slippery and tight. Chris got far enough in that he was able to start thrusting, gently sliding in and out of his mate.
As he did, Ben moved a little forward on each thrust, pushing into Alex and then pulling out again. Her hands came around Ben’s back to grip him tighter.
“This is amazing,” Alex said.
“Faster,” Ben said.
“You sure you can take it?” Chris didn’t want to hurt Ben.
“I can take it. Faster.”
Chris increased his speed. Soon the slaps o
f him against Ben and Ben against Alex filled the room. “Let’s come together.”
“I can’t hold out much longer,” Ben said.
Chris felt close to the edge himself. “I just need a minute or two.”
“I’m not quite that close,” Alex said. “And I can’t reach my clit.” She blushed.
Chris would never get tired of her embarrassment over talking about sex. “That’s okay. Ben, when you’re ready, bite her.”
“You’re sure that’ll work when I’m not that close?” she said.
His eyes were starting to cross. “Yeah.” He wasn’t that sure, but placebo had to count for something. If she thought she’d come when he bit her, maybe she would. “Soon.” His voice sounded raspy.
Ben’s breathing got heavier and heavier. “Now.” He clamped onto Alex’s shoulder.
She nearly bucked him off with the force of her orgasm. Just seeing her pushed Chris over the edge. Ben was already coming, but Chris bit Ben’s shoulder for good measure. He could tell by Ben’s reaction that it had worked.
Minutes later, he gingerly pulled out. Maybe he wasn’t totally bull-shitting about the endorphins, because damn if he didn’t feel better. He lay down on his side and within seconds they were back in their original position, Alex lying in the middle.
Chris reached out his arm so it lay on Alex’s middle, his fingers resting against Ben’s abs. “I love you.” It didn’t do justice to everything he felt in his heart, but it would have to do.
Ben cupped Chris’ cheek. “I love you, too. Both of you.”
“And I love you both,” Alex said. “So much.”
“This is how it’s going to be forever,” Chris said. “Forever.”
Witchy Wolf
Alexis Dare
Chapter One
My heart hammered in my chest, and it felt like it would burst out of my rib cage at any second. I ran faster, not daring to look behind me because it would only slow me down. Low growls and snarls grew louder with every slap of my feet on the concrete. I tripped and almost fell. “Oh no.” The stumble cost me dearly, and a huge weight slammed into my back, razor sharp pain exploding in my shoulder as I hit the ground.
I woke up screaming, sweat rolling down my face. Moisture drenched the bed sheets. The night nurse, her white hat sitting askew atop black curls, rushed through the door into my room. At least this time, she didn’t flip the lights on. “It’s okay, Chloe.” She grabbed the water pitcher from the rolling table and poured some into one of the yellow plastic cups. “Here, drink this.”
I took the offered cup and struggled to breathe. The grayness crept up to the edge of my vision, the panic from the nightmare threatening to make me hyperventilate. Taking a sip of the cool water, I focused on taking slow, deep breaths.
“Same nightmare?” She fussed about me, fluffing my pillows and smoothing out the bedcovers.
“Yes.” I’d been in the hospital for three nights. The nightmare came every time I closed my eyes.
“Well, it’s no wonder considering. You’ve soaked the bed sheets, dear. We’re going to have to change them. Have they found the animal that attacked you, yet?”
“No.” The police had been called first after I’d been found lying on the ground in the park. Even though the doctors determined the attack had been by an animal of some kind, Detective Andrews, the original officer assigned to my case had continued to update me on the progress of the hunt. From the way the nurses grinned, I could tell they thought he was sweet on me. I tended to have that kind of effect on men. It served me well most of the time.
“That’s a shame. You’d think they’d be able to find something as large as that.”
“You’d think.” I lay back down, my signal to the nurse that I had calmed down enough for her to leave the room to get the sheets. It had become a nightly ritual. She returned with a stack of white linen and a fresh blanket. She helped me from the bed to the nearby chair, and I gritted my teeth against the pain that flared across my back and shoulders. She bustled about, yanking the soiled sheets from the bed and replacing them with the clean linen.
“Here you go, dear.” She helped me back into bed, tucking the covers around me. “Try to get some sleep. If you need anything, just buzz.”
I just nodded, wincing as the movement pulled on my shoulder which caused a sharp stab of pain. Sleep had not been my friend since the attack. I had been partying at my favorite bar, Royal Lush. The night had dragged slowly on until I realized I wasn’t going to find a hunk with which to fuck away my sorrows. Around midnight, I decided to head back across the park to my apartment. I’d taken the same shortcut night after night without any trouble. I certainly didn’t expect to be attacked by some large creature with glowing eyes and fangs. A shudder rippled through me. It didn’t matter that the animal control officers insisted I made a mistake. It wasn’t possible for a wolf of that size to exist much less be in the town’s park. I know what I saw. I also knew they wouldn’t find it. How could you find something you weren’t looking for?
I grabbed the remote from the bedside table and turned on the tv. After the first night of screaming every time I closed my eyes, the hospital staff decided I needed to be in a room by myself. It sucked during the day when I didn’t even have a roommate to talk to, but at night, when I couldn’t sleep, it was great to be able to turn on the television and not have to worry about waking anybody up.
The doctor who had rounded this morning told me I’d likely go home tomorrow. The only reason I’d been kept this long was to ensure an infection didn’t take hold in the areas where I’d been scratched and bitten. Since they weren’t sure which type of animal had attacked me, they wanted to err on the side of caution. The decision surprised me, since I thought hospitals were all about kicking patients out as soon as possible.
I flipped through the channels until I found an old B movie. Tomorrow couldn’t come soon enough.
Chapter Two
I stood on the sidewalk in my dirty jeans and borrowed shirt. The day nurse had wanted to call me a cab, but I told her no. She probably assumed I had called a friend, and who was I to tell her differently? My one and only friend was out of town at the moment, and the truth of the matter was, I never took cabs. Why pay good money for a ride? If I couldn’t walk to where I needed to go, then I hitched. Yeah, I knew everyone thought hitching wasn’t safe, but that was actually the exception and not the rule. Most of the time, hitching was just as safe as anything else. It helped when you didn’t have any morals yelling at you about using your body to pay for the ride.
On the opposite sidewalk sat a shiny chrome Harley, which was being tended to by a guy hot enough to melt your panties off. Long, black hair kept me from getting a good look at his face, but his body had muscles that just wouldn’t quit. Not the kind of bulging muscles you saw on body builders, but the kind that filled out jeans in all of the right places and made t-shirts look as though they came from a mold.
My attention slid from the biker to the tan sedan that pulled up to the curb beside me. I leaned in the window and winced when my injuries protested. My favorite blonde detective sat at the wheel. “Detective Andrews. Is there some news on my attacker?”
He frowned and shook his head. “Sorry, no.”
“So you just happened to be in the neighborhood then?”
A pink flush crept across his cheeks. “Umm…actually the nurse called me. She seemed to think you didn’t have anyone to pick you up and said you refused a cab.”
Hmm, guess the nurse figured me right after all.
“Do you make a habit of coming to the rescue of damsels in distress?” Darned if his cheeks didn’t get redder.
“I just thought I’d come see if you needed a ride. It’s a long walk to your apartment building, and you don’t need to make that trek considering you’re hurt and all.” He leaned over and pushed open the door. “Come on, get in.”
I slid onto the seat and pulled the door shut, wincing as the movement sent a bolt of pain across my
upper torso. As we pulled away from the curb, I noticed Harley guy had stood up and was watching us. I shook off the sudden shiver of fear crawling up my spine. The guy had done nothing to deserve that reaction. What was with me?
Turning my attention to Detective Andrews, I studied the man. A little rough around the edges, but that was probably due more to his profession than anything else. The beginnings of a beard shadowed his square chin, and his blonde hair ruffled in the wind from the rolled down window. I imagined running my fingers through it. Being cooped up in the hospital had kept me from going out on the prowl, and my libido leapt into action as I studied the fit form of the cop. He wasn’t as muscular as the Harley guy, but he wasn’t a slouch either. I wondered what it would take to get him to dance between the sheets with me.
As if sensing my gaze, he turned his head and met my eyes. I saw a quick smolder in the green beneath thick lashes before an impersonal wall slammed into place. Maybe the nurses were right about the cop having a thing for me.
“You should probably think about getting a car.”
I covered my mouth to stop the laugh from busting out. “Yeah right. I’m sure in your investigation of what happened to me, you discovered a little bit about my background. My job barely gives me enough money to pay my part of the rent and utilities on my apartment. A car is just not an option.”
“Find a better job.”
“Well now why didn’t I think of that?” I shot him a look to show him just how crazy his statement was. “If you know of a good paying job for a high school dropout, I’m all ears.”
“Sorry.” At least had sense enough to act embarrassed, even if he wasn’t. “But you know you wouldn’t have gotten hurt if you’d had a car.”
I didn’t have the heart to tell him that even if I had owned a car, I still would’ve walked to the bar. Why drive somewhere so close? I reached over and patted him on the knee. “Thanks for your concern, Detective Andrews, but…”
