Selena pulled Cory to her, dragging breath after breath into her burning lungs for what seemed like hours until he finally reached up and turned the shower off. Not even the silence seemed awkward.
Cory brushed the clinging strands of wet hair from her face, his warm eyes so full of desire it melted her heart. Only then did she realize she hadn’t satisfied him. He spoke before she could struggle free.
“He needs you, Selena. Go on.”
Confused, not sure why Cory would push her away when mere minutes ago he’d been willing to stretch Zane’s patience to the ends of the earth, she shook her head even as he pushed up on his knees, breaking the intimate embrace. A chill sunk into her bones. “He needs both of us.”
She couldn’t bring herself to tell him she needed them both again too, not when it seemed positive Cory would push her away. Her will was only so strong. He stood, closing warm fingers over her trembling ones and pulled her to her shaky feet.
“I’m not abandoning you, little one. Go to him.”
Sliding his hand over the curve of her rear, he guided her to the shower door, opening it in one smooth push. Zane stood on the other side, eyes blazing with wicked intentions, a towel spread open between his hands.
“Enjoy yourself?” he teased in a terse voice, need evident in every prolonged syllable.
She nodded, heat fanning over her skin as Zane’s eyes soaked in every wet inch of her before wrapping her in the soft towel. He reached for another and sponged the moisture from her hair, touching her with near reverence. Despite the desire thrumming in her veins, she couldn’t catch the sigh from escaping her lips as Cory secured a towel around his lean hips and strode from the bathroom, his hardened cock evident beneath the flimsy material.
Chapter Eight
“He’s not going anywhere,” Zane whispered against her satiny smooth skin, enjoying the masculine scent of his soap on her. He sensed the mild distress his mate felt over seeing Cory walk away, hell even he was disturbed by the distance Cory continued to place between them.
But he would stay and make love with them. Of that Zane was one hundred percent sure.
When Selena lifted her face to his, her green eyes still sparkled with satisfaction. Satisfaction he had nearly died from watching. The scent of her orgasm clung to the moist air, all but making him quake with need. For her. For Cory.
He couldn’t live without them both.
Dropping the towel so thick waves of golden hair framed her delicate face, he growled against the madness demanding he take Selena now and to hell with Cory. His hunger burned hotter than any fire he’d ever known. There was no softness in his need for her like Cory had managed to use. He would be demanding, rough. Every bit sinful.
Four fingers smoothed over the healed claw marks of yesterday’s attack before she pressed her palm against the thundering beat of his heart. “Was it painful to see me with Cory?”
Zane watched her stroke each mark with one soft finger, the soothing touch calming the raging beast inside him. He pulled his thoughts inward, shielding them from his intuitive healer. “No more difficult than it was for you to see Cory and I kiss earlier,” he rasped.
Selena blushed a beautiful crimson before glancing away. He had easily picked up on the tumultuous swirl of emotion their intimate kiss had pulled from her. Awkwardness, curiosity, arousal. Knowing his feelings for Cory turned her on left him more eager than ever to take her to bed and claim what was rightfully his. Because she wanted them both just as he did.
Selena tongued one tight nipple, breaking his thoughts.
“Liar, liar,” she teased.
He shook his head but the emotions slipped out anyway. Oh, it hurt to see her and Cory together. Hurt something fierce. Zane was overprotective of his long-time lover, the idea of sharing so alien a concept to his wolf. Now not only was he sharing Cory but it damn near drove a stake through his beating heart watching his mate with another man. No matter he’d mate the man in a heartbeat if possible.
A growl rumbled low in his throat. “You already know sharing isn’t something us wolves do well.”
Her nails scratched against his bare chest as a small panicked gasp reached his ears. “But you’ll share me with Cory, right?”
Zane stroked his hands down her body, tugging the soft fabric of the towel loose until there was no barrier between them. Her fear angered his beast, especially because she had nothing to worry about. There wasn’t a snowball’s chance in hell he was giving either up and after the mating bond was created, she’d never leave his side again. He’d love her until he died.
The same applied to Cory. “I’d share my soul with both of you if I could. I need each of you, Selena.”
His shaft throbbed against the smooth warmth of her belly. She was petite but to him, perfect. Already Zane knew he would never get enough.
“And we both need you,” she whispered into the hard planes of his chest.
His hunger spiked as she wrapped her body around his. He slid his hands over her ass and scooped her into his arms determined to sink himself inside her wet heat and pound out his endless need. He would erase her doubts, her fears that their union would be less than perfect. No matter what, he would make it so.
Striding from the room with her cupped against him, he lifted an eyebrow to the pillows Cory had stacked against the headboard. Seeing his lover’s tantalizing profile beside the bed made his mouth water for a taste, the remainder of his blood rushing to his thickened shaft. Cory’s smile stopped his heart.
Gently, he lowered Selena onto the bed, propping her upper body against the mound of soft pillows, her pale skin illuminated atop the dark sheets.
“Boys?” she questioned shyly, the red on her cheeks deepening until it spread like a slow fire down her neck to the top of her full, firm breasts.
Beneath her nervousness, Zane sensed her building excitement and knew he had made the right choice to claim her with Cory present. He knelt on the bed before her, dropping one hand to either side of her shoulders. “Relax, my little healer. We only want to please you.”
He brushed his lips across her neck, grazing her chin and cheek until reaching her mouth. Her lips were soft and full, and quivering just like he wanted them. The bed shifted little as Cory moved behind him and slid his hands over his back.
“I want to please you too,” she whispered against his lips before he claimed them, crushing against her mouth in an explosion of undiluted need. The kiss was every bit as raw and rough as he was but she matched his fervor, pressing her tongue back into his mouth, feeding his hunger.
When Cory slipped two fingers inside his ass, he bucked in shock, having been lost in the ecstasy of Selena’s mouth. Slick with cool lube, the fingers probed deeper, the sensation increasing the blood flow to his groin, building his impatience. When Selena nipped the exposed column of his neck, flicking her tongue over his Adams apple, he growled.
Yes, he thought. I will have them both and they me. I will be their lover and their Alpha.
Passion so fierce it clawed his insides erupted inside him and he dropped his head, biting, licking and teasing the swollen flesh of her nipples. The air around them was thick with their trio of desires, driving him faster, harder in his quest to join them all.
He tugged one taut peak between his teeth and Selena whimpered, bucking up against him. He scented her arousal just as he felt her juices against his aching cock. She was so hot, so ready. He needed to be inside her, needed to claim his mate and end this madness.
Cory’s fingers pulled out, his hands suddenly gripping Zane’s waist as if sensing his distress. In a move almost as natural as breathing, his lover eased his hardened shaft into the tight opening of his ass, slowly filling him until their thighs brushed each others. Clenching his fist, he fought off the urge to roar, the sense of homecoming overwhelming. Scenting both of them, being able to have them together nearly made him come on the anticipation alone.
Curling over his back, Cory used his hands to push open Sel
ena’s legs. Cory’s head rested against his shoulder blade, his words a hot pulse on his sweat slick skin. “Claim our mate, Zane. Take her now.”
Groaning, giving in to his basic instincts, he plunged deep into her moist heat, burying his cock to the hilt. Selena arched against him as she gasped, her hands flying up to grip him but reaching Cory instead. His partner cursed but pressed back.
Riding the rising surge of adrenaline pounding through him from touching the two most important people in his life, he rocked inside Selena, shivering as her tight muscles gripped his thick shaft with each outward pull. Cory mimicked his movement, his cock sliding through the tight channel of his ass in nothing short of bliss. Careful to keep their weight off her fragile body, he moved faster, need coursing through his stiff body.
“Dammit Zane, claim her.”
Cory’s rough voice grated along his spine and he gazed down into the endless green depths of Selena’s gentle eyes. She panted beneath them, lost in the beginnings of ecstasy. He flashed his eyes quickly to the pale skin on her throat before watching her eyes again. Zane ached to seal their bond, craved his life mate more than he did his next breath or another release. But he needed her acceptance, wouldn’t force her into this.
When she nodded softly, her hands cupping his neck and pulling him lower, his control was lost. Selena cried out in shock as his sharp teeth raked across her exposed neck, biting the tender flesh until he tasted just a hint of her sweet blood. His muscles trembled as he licked her wound, sucking and tonguing the mark that would forever bind them together.
Sinking deeper inside her, he surrendered to his desires, pounding a furious rhythm into her hot, wet sex. Selena’s release was immediate, her cry piercing the thick air around them. Zane continued to move faster, deeper, driving every inch of his shaft inside his mate until he no longer knew where he ended and she began.
Zane growled when Cory’s sharp teeth sunk into the firm flesh above one shoulder blade, and he nearly fell on top of Selena as his lover matched Zane’s stride, pumping hard and fast inside him. They stiffened together, Cory’s teeth and nails gripping Zane in a combination of pleasure and pain while Zane spilled his seed inside his new mate. The heat of Cory’s firm body above him and Selena’s soft, supple frame below enveloped him, completing him in a way that sucked the air straight from his lungs.
On a sigh Cory pulled out of Zane, rolling to lie beside Selena on the bed. Zane did likewise, sinking down beside her and draping an arm across her middle, twining his fingers with Cory’s. His lover looked wary, but curled himself tight to her side. And Zane had never been more thankful for anything in his life.
The Pack had always accepted his alternative lifestyle and in his heart, he knew with time they would understand his need to have both Cory and Selena. The only question was, had he successfully convinced Cory the risk was worth taking?
Chapter Nine
Selena awoke snuggled between the warmth of two slumbering men. Two lovers who each continued to possess her in their own way, even in sleep. Zane’s chest pressed like an impenetrable wall against her back, one thick arm holding her to him just beneath her breasts. Her demanding mate.
Cory still held himself apart from them in his own way, barely an inch of his splendid body touching hers aside from one hand that cradled her head in his palm. Reassuring her as always. A masculine healer who didn’t have a proper place among the Pack hierarchy. It amazed her the depth to which she understood these men in such a short time.
She smiled thinking of Zane’s promise of forever, felt the tingle of his mating mark as the erotic act replayed in her mind. If these men weren’t so thorough in their devotions, it might give credence to the doubt swirling like mist through her sated brain. The wolf might accept forever, just like that, but how did the man? How could she? How did she?
And then there was the growing curiosity, coupled with a heavy dose of panic, at the thought of taking both these virile men into her body together. An act so foreign to her limited sexual experiences, she couldn’t quite place words to what exactly worried her most.
As if sensing her growing distress, Zane stirred behind her, the muscles of his arm tightening to shift her impossibly closer. Firm lips brushed her shoulder, followed by the graze of sharp teeth. Her nipples pebbled against his arm, her sex dampening.
“Talk to me, love.”
No preamble, no bedroom talk. An Alpha expecting the truth—no more or less. Selena delighted in the uncomplicatedness of her mate.
“I don’t want to wake, Cory,” she whispered. A truth and stall tactic all in one. How could she talk about her uncertainty of an intimate act without seeming weak—a trait she couldn’t bear to be in front of this powerful man.
Rough lips tickled the tip of one ear, his whisper sending a shiver of delight down to her toes. “He sleeps like the dead here. His wolf trusts his Alpha to keep him safe.”
Trust him, her mind shouted. “What if I—” Zane squeezed her tighter to his warm body, his erection nestling firmly in the crease of her ass. She shivered. “What if I don’t like it?” she finished on a swallow.
His breath continued slow and even on her neck, his only response to her uncertainty. She struggled to remain composed, watching the slow rise and fall of Cory’s chest in the silence that began to stretch between them. Zane slid his hand from beneath her breasts, fingers trailing across the tips.
The shock of feeling the rough pad of one finger sliding down her ass almost had her smashing forward into Cory’s slumbering body. Zane’s chuckle was sinful as it was soft.
“Does it feel good to lie between our bodies right now?”
She hummed her confirmation, another shiver racking her body as his finger probed further with a firm touch. He circled the tight opening, her whole body tensing from the unknown.
“Did you enjoy both our hands pleasuring your hot body?”
Selena sighed as Zane’s words awoke fresh need inside her. Of course she’d been in heaven then, her body assaulted with pleasure she’d only had been able to dream of before. Two tongues, four hands, on her body with one purpose. Zane pulled away on her sigh.
“How about my cock plunging deep inside you?” He rubbed his thick shaft in a rhythmic motion, moisture pooling between her legs. “Tell me you liked that.”
She lifted one of her legs to rest on top of his, restless for relief. “I’ve never known more bliss.”
Zane’s finger returned, one now slick with cool lube. She gasped as he slid the length of it inside her without warning, the unfamiliar sensation lighting a fire in her belly. Still snug inside her, he circled the base of his finger, widening her and hitting every sensual nerve. He began to slide the finger in and out until Selena couldn’t fathom anything but rocking back to meet each small thrust.
“This will be no different.”
A promise. A wicked assurance. Zane added a second finger, stretching her tight channel, unleashing an un-realized hunger from the core of her. “Oh,” she panted.
Zane growled behind her, his free hand snaking beneath her shifting body to capture the firm peak of one nipple. “I can’t wait to sink into your tight ass, little one.”
Using Cory’s pet name for her brought her mind back to him. A man more wounded than her. Zane must have sensed her withdrawal, pinching her nipple. She groaned. “Does Cory want this too?”
Selena cried out as two fingers sunk deep into her wet opening in response. “I’ve never craved a woman more.” A purr of satisfaction left his lips before he drew them across hers.
Cory devoured her mouth, tongue tangling with hers in a slow sinful slide. The stark opposite to Zane’s firm, quick strokes in her ass. The dueling sensations collided inside her; fire burning a fierce path across her skin until no part of her was left untouched. She ached to have these men inside her.
Cory’s fingers began to thrust faster, his rhythm matching Zane’s strong one. Panting, Cory’s lips dipped lower nuzzling the tender skin of her neck where Zan
e had placed his mark. Her desire coiled tighter within her, her body bucking between two powerful men. Someone’s fingers always sunk deep in her.
“Take her,” Zane growled. Every bit confident in having his commands listened to.
She whimpered as Zane’s fingers popped from her body, his hands helping roll her atop Cory’s chiseled frame. Cory used his to knead her breasts, cupping and squeezing in fluid movements as Zane helped guide him into her.
Immediately she recognized the tenderness with which Cory touched her body. Though both men were devout in their attentions, Zane operated on a take no prisoner’s roughness whereas Cory had a soft spot a mile wide. She smiled as Zane’s firm hands molded around her ass cheeks, working her faster on top of Cory’s shaft. In seconds, Cory’s hands were lower, covering Zane’s, easing him away until he could lean her upper body down to his mouth.
He pressed both her breasts together, his tongue flicking rapidly between the two. She screamed as the first orgasm tore through her entire body. His mouth clamped over the two pebbled peaks of her nipples, sucking them deep into his mouth. Lightening shot behind her closed eyelids. The world around her, lost.
“Cory,” she stuttered out when his mouth continued to feast on her breasts, his hands working over her ass and spreading her cheeks.
She jumped when cool fingers circled the puckered skin of her ass, fell flat against Cory’s muscled chest.
“Zane,” Cory murmured. A single word filled with uncertainty, with unasked questions. She stroked the whisker roughened skin of Cory’s jaw, littered small kisses across his collarbone. Two lost souls still drifting together.
“I ache for you both,” was their Alpha’s response. “I need this.”
Instinctively, Selena angled her body back, her fingers clawing into Cory’s shoulders. Her non-verbal cue all the permission needed, Zane inched his wide cock into her anus. She immediately tensed, pulled herself forward until her lips brushed Cory’s.
