That would come soon, she knew, but Shane was like no other wolf.
And he’d been practicing his control with her and Bram for enough time that she knew whatever happened tonight, it would be him, and not his lack of control.
“She’s soft everywhere, Shane,” Bram finally answered, pulling Charlotte into the present. She hadn’t been too far gone, though, not with both of them touching her as they were. “Wait until you taste her. Like sugar and silk.”
With one hand on her breast, Bram slid the other under the top of her leggings to cup her. She moaned, unable to hold the sound back. She hadn’t worn panties or a bra to shift as it would have only gotten in the way, and now she had a feeling all three of them would enjoy the lack of barriers. And the men wore only sweats—no underwear, no shirts.
Just hard men, hard cocks, and a need for her.
Her body melted into them both. She hadn’t thought it would be so hot to have two men touch her, hold her, need her, and at the same time, talk about her with her in the room as if they couldn’t get enough of her.
Despite her past and what she’d thought her entire life, Charlotte was indeed a lucky woman tonight.
And perhaps for longer than a single night if things worked out the way they should. The way they could.
Shane kissed her then, his tongue sliding along hers in a sexual caress that made her want to wrap her leg around his waist and rock against him until she came. Seeming to know that, Bram slid his fingers over her clit, finding her wet and ready for them. He groaned into her shoulder, sliding two fingers deep inside. At the feeling of his fingers so deep inside her cunt, she gasped into Shane’s mouth. He took the sound and deepened the kiss, wrapping his arms around her and Bram. When Bram groaned behind her, she had a feeling Shane was holding their other man and not her.
Goddess, how had this happened? How had she gone from a broken wolf to a woman with not one, but two men? She didn’t deserve this, but she was just selfish enough to take it and never let go.
She pulled away, gasping. “Tonight, if the moon goddess shines her light on us, there will be a bond. Are you okay with that?” She wasn’t sure if she was asking Bram or Shane, or even herself at that moment.
Shane kissed her chin then moved over her head to do the same to Bram.
Seriously, freaking hot as hell.
“I don’t know about the moon goddess, but what I’m feeling isn’t going away. It hasn’t since I first saw you. And yeah, it’s taking a leap of faith, but I know deep down in my gut that this is the right thing to do. We’re stronger together than we are apart, and I know I don’t want to face what’s to come without you. Without either of you.”
Charlotte turned then, forcing Bram’s hold on her to lessen. He slid his hands over her hips instead, and she rested her back on Shane’s front. “And you?”
Bram frowned, and her heart ached. What if he said no? What if he walked away because she hadn’t been enough the first time?
When he let out a low growl, this one far more dangerous than anything let out during heat, her eyes widened.
“If I see you giving me that look again, I’m going to bend you over my knee and spank you.” His voice was low, deadly.
“I might like to see that,” Shane said with a teasing tone to his voice. “Just saying.”
Bram snapped his teeth at Shane but winked. Then he looked down at her and glowered. “You are my mate. You were before, and you are now. We didn’t bond before because we didn’t have Shane. It’s as simple as that. And if you keep looking at me like you think you aren’t good enough because of where you came from, I’m going to be fucking angry. You get me? So stop doing this bullshit, and let me fucking kiss you. Then let me fuck you. And then let me bite you.” He paused. “You know what, fuck that. I’m going to kiss you. Then I’m going to fuck you. Then I’m going to bite you. You don’t need to let me because I’m going to take it. I’m done waiting for you, being the patient best friend who had to watch you die a little more inside until Shane showed up. I’m taking what’s mine. Taking you.” He looked over her head. “And I’m taking Shane.”
She swallowed hard, her body so rigid she could barely breathe. She didn’t know what to say, so she just said what was on her mind. “I think I almost came from those words alone. So, yeah, take me. Take us. I’m ready, and you’re not going to find anyone unwilling here.”
Shane cleared his throat. “Well if I had any reservations before this, they are sure as hell gone now. Fuck, Bram. You need to speak like that all the time.” He stopped, and she looked up at him over her shoulder. “Wait, not all the time. Just with me and Charlotte because I sure as hell don’t want anyone else hearing that. It’s just for us.”
Charlotte smiled then, a smile she hadn’t given anyone in a long time. “Just for us.”
Bram licked his lips, a wicked gleam in his eyes. “Good.” He looked up at Shane. “You know how mating works, right?”
Charlotte turned in their arms so she could see them both. Their hands were still all over each other, but now she didn’t have to crane her neck.
“You explained about sex and the mating mark. But with three people, I’m not sure how that will work.”
“There needs to be…penetration with all of us somehow,” Bram continued, and Charlotte rolled her eyes. This was not the time to be scared of the big words. And the fact that she was the one thinking that just told her how on edge these two made her.
“Both of you will need to come inside me,” she explained. “Maybe not at the same time since I’m not sure I’m exactly ready for that.”
Shane’s eyes widened. “So later, then?”
She let out a breath. “What is it with guys and anal?”
Bram chuckled. “Well, as I’m going to also fuck Shane, I’d say we like anal just fine.”
Shane barked out a laugh. “Oh yeah? What if I want to be the one that fucks you?”
Yep, Charlotte was going to pass out from pleasure tonight. She was sure of it.
“We’ll take turns,” Bram said with a grin. “If you can take me that is.”
Charlotte’s knees gave out, and Bram quickly swept her into his arms. “Did I just swoon?”
Shane looked down at her, a wide and cocky grin on his face. “Hell yeah, you did. I do believe our little wolf likes the idea of you and me tangling, Bram. What do you think?”
Bram led her to the bedroom with Shane at his side. “I think we are two lucky ass wolves. And as for the mating bond, as long as the three of us somehow all make it work, the bond should form. I know I sound clinical right now, but bear with me. The only other triad I know has a wolf, a witch, and a partial demon. Not three wolves, one of which was formed just a little differently.”
Charlotte wiggled, and Bram set her down on her feet at the foot of the bed. “You talked to my aunt and uncles?” She didn’t know why, but after all of that, she finally blushed.
Bram shrugged. “I wanted to make sure we didn’t miss anything this time. I’ll be damned if the bond doesn’t take because we missed something.”
“So you’re saying we need to try all the positions,” Shane said with a laugh. “Well, it’s a good thing Walker mentioned a shifter’s stamina then.”
Both Charlotte and Bram growled, and Shane held up his hands. “What?”
“Why were you talking to Walker about sex?” Bram asked.
“I asked what other things came with being a wolf. He was being clinical. Not you. Just breathe, okay? You’re the only two for me.”
Charlotte relaxed, surprised at the jealousy that had coursed through her.
Bram’s body also lost some of its tension behind her. “Good. Now that we’ve talked this to death, how about we get back to where we started? Because it’s going to be a fantastically long night, and I can’t wait to have you.”
Though her body had cooled somewhat when they’d been talking, the look in Bram’s eyes brought her right back.
“Just make love to me,�
�� she said finally. “We’ll make it work.”
They had to.
The men shared a look, then they moved.
Bram was at her front, cupping her face with his hands and kissing her like there was no tomorrow. She breathed in the scent of him, her wolf pushing at her, needing her mates. Shane was at her back and slowly slid his hands down her sides to cup her ass before kneeling behind her. She gasped as he pulled her leggings down in one movement. When he tugged, she helped him take them fully off and could barely think before Bram pulled her top over her head. That left her naked in front of her two men, and with the looks they were giving her, she knew she’d never felt as cherished and sexy as she did right then.
Shane went back to his knees and started massaging her butt, leaving trails of kisses before spreading her and licking up her cunt. She bent forward slightly, her body humming as he flicked his tongue over her clit before feasting. Bram had moved to cup her breasts, taking one nipple in his mouth and using his fingers to pluck at the other one.
There were so many hands, so much sensation; she couldn’t focus on both of them.
And when Bram slid his hand down her stomach and to her clit to play alongside Shane’s tongue, she came.
“Hell,” Shane bit out as he stood up again. “You are fucking gorgeous when you come, baby.”
She blinked up at him before smiling wide. “I’m glad you think so.” And with that, she went down to her knees. Before either man could say anything, she had their pants lowered and a cock in each hand. She pumped them once before licking the crown of Bram’s and then doing the same to Shane’s.
She was a dominant female wolf.
One of the fastest wolves within these two Packs.
And yet right then, she knew she’d never felt this bold, this fierce, this feminine before.
She wanted to take them both in her mouth, but her men had other ideas. Her men. She could get used to the sound of that.
Shane had her on her back on the bed and his mouth between her legs once again. Bram had kicked off his sweats, as had Shane apparently, and was behind Shane, doing something to the other man to make him moan.
“Get in me,” she cried out as Shane made her come. Again. “I’m not going to last the night if you guys keep making me come without your cocks in me.”
Shane snorted. “Well, if you’re going to be like that.” His eyes crossed, and he leaned over her. She took that as a good excuse to kiss his jaw and run her hands over his chest.
“What’s Bram doing back there?” she teased.
Bram moved to the side of Shane and licked his lips. “Just making sure our soldier here is ready.” He waved a bottle of lube, and she blinked.
“Where did you get that? I didn’t see you move.”
Bram shrugged. “I might have left a bag underneath Shane’s bed just in case.”
“Got to like a man who’s prepared…holy mother of God,” Shane breathed. “Right there, Bram. Holy…okay, I need to get in you Charlotte, or I’m going to come like a teenager right now all over your stomach, and I’d rather feel your sweet heat around me.”
She put her hands on his cheeks and brought him in for a kiss. “Then fuck me, Shane. Show me I’m yours.”
Shane bit down on her lower lip. “As long as you do the same for me.”
“Deal,” she breathed.
He positioned himself at her entrance and then slowly filled her. Her breath quickened, and she arched her back, taking him in deeper.
“Keep going,” Bram ordered from behind Shane. Charlotte looked up to see Bram’s hands on Shane’s hips, moving the man so the three of them were connected. “Make her ours, Shane, and when you’re fully seated, I’m going to do the same for you. You ready for that? I’m going to have my cock deep in your ass. You’ve only had my fingers tonight, but you’re ready for me aren’t you?”
Sweat slid down Shane’s chest, and Charlotte could barely breathe. She honestly couldn’t comprehend everything right now. It was too much, everything was too much, and yet she never wanted it to end.
When Shane fully entered her, she wrapped one leg tightly around his waist and used the other to bring Bram closer.
“Now,” Shane barked. “Fuck me now, Bram, then we’ll make love to our Charlotte, our mate.”
Mate.
Goddess how she’d wanted to hear that word. Always. And now she would have two.
The bond had to work. There was no other option, not anymore. Not when she’d lost her heart not only to Bram, but now Shane, as well. The man who had sacrificed everything for people he didn’t know and a cause he found just.
Bram moved, and Shane’s breath went choppy. Soon, Bram was so close to Shane’s back she knew he’d entered the other man, hot, ready, needy.
“Move,” she panted. “Please. I’m so close. Move.”
And they did. As one, Bram and Shane somehow found a rhythm where Bram made love to Shane, Shane to Charlotte, and when Charlotte arched her hips to meet them, she made love to both of them.
It was beautiful, everything it should have been with just Bram, but more than it could have been at any other time.
Her wolf paced, ready for the mating mark. As her body heated, her nipples hardening to the point where it hurt, she crashed over the edge of pleasure and came. Shane followed, Bram’s and Charlotte’s names on his lips, and when Bram shouted, she knew he’d come, as well.
And just like that, the first spark of the bond snapped into place. She could feel Shane deep inside her, not just her body, but in her heart, her soul.
Her wolf cried out in joy, and tears slid down Charlotte’s cheeks.
Her fangs elongated, and she bit into Shane’s shoulder, marking him as hers. When she released him, she panted as Shane did the same to her. They hadn’t had to teach him how to claim another. It was as instinctual as shifting, as being wolf. Bram had also bitten Shane’s other shoulder, cementing the men together.
“Mate,” she whispered, cupping Shane’s face.
“Mine,” he whispered and kissed her. “I can feel you and Bram. Both of you.”
She smiled. The bond had worked for Bram and Shane, as well as her and Shane. Now she needed her Bram, her other mate, the other part of her soul, the other part of her future.
Bram slowly moved away, his eyes wide and glassy, but she knew it was the pure emotion, the same as she felt. They hadn’t had a plan as to who would mate first, who would have their human halves mate first before marking them as wolves.
“I need you, too,” she said softly as Shane pulled out of her, moving out of the way so Bram could come to her.
“Then take me,” Bram said simply. Only it wasn’t so simple. It never was.
She wasn’t sure what she would do next, but Shane took the choice from her. He lifted her up from the bed and put her in Bram’s arms. He got up from the bed quickly and came back with a couple of warm cloths. He wiped Bram’s cock down before doing the same to her with the other one. She blinked as Bram sat down at the edge of the bed with Shane sidling up right behind him. She had a feeling the other man was exhausted after everything that had come that day and just needed to be near them as she and Bram completed their part of the bond.
Shane wrapped his arms around Bram’s middle and bit into his shoulder. At the same time, Charlotte slid herself over Bram’s already hard cock. All three of them moaned, even if Shane’s was a bit muffled.
She would never get enough of this. Never get enough of them. Somehow, despite it all, she’d found the two men who could complete who she thought she’d never be.
They made her whole.
They made her strong.
They made her…theirs.
Charlotte put one hand on Shane’s shoulder, the other on Bram, and rocked herself along Bram’s lap.
Bram narrowed his eyes, then, his wolf at the surface. He lifted her up ever so slightly, to ram up into her. She called out but didn’t have time to catch her breath as he continued to fuck her. Shane playe
d with her nipples as well as Bram’s, and she couldn’t hold back any longer.
She came, bringing Bram with her. She couldn’t breathe, couldn’t think.
Their bond snapped into place, as well, a lock of pulsing sensation that connected the three of them in a way she hadn’t thought possible.
Bram bit into her shoulder, marking her as his, and her wolf howled in pure pleasure. When her new mate turned his head to the side, she bit him, as well, leaving a mating mark that would tell everyone around them that he was hers. Shane was hers, as well.
And when the final part of the mating bond was complete, she burst into tears.
She could feel her men, feel her mates. They were everything she thought she couldn’t have, everything she never knew she wanted. For a moment, she could only think of the pain that had come when the bond hadn’t shown up the first time.
She hated crying and didn’t do it often. But now she couldn’t stop. It was just too much. She felt everything, and it warred within her. Somehow, she found herself lying in bed, sandwiched between her two men.
They held her close but didn’t say anything. They didn’t need to. They all felt what the others were feeling.
She knew this intensity would fade soon, but for now, she could ignore the world. Ignore the problems that would arise in the morning. Now, she could focus on her mates, her life, and the fact that she was warm for the first time in far too long.
She wasn’t the same Charlotte who had been chained in the basement any longer.
She was stronger.
She was fiercer.
And she wasn’t alone.
