Lucky kept her from collapsing on top of Rafe when he returned his strong arm around her waist. With his fingers still caressing inside her tight hole, the pulsing pleasure continued, slowly ebbing in strength.
“I love watching you climax.” Rafe’s voice was a low growl as he cupped her breasts in his hands and rubbed his thumbs across her nipples. The caresses made her muscles contract again. She moaned deep in her chest with the pleasure.
Lucky closed his mouth over her nape, his teeth gently squeezing. He released her nape and pressed kisses down her back. “You’re so beautiful, darlin’. I want to play with you all day.”
She panted to catch her breath. She wouldn’t mind as long as she could hold up. These guys were strong and had more stamina than she’d ever imagined.
“Lower her slowly, Lucky, so she can take my cock.”
He did so with his long fingers still inside her.
“Oh, God, Lucky, I can’t think.”
“You don’t need to, darlin’, just feel.”
Rafe carefully positioned the head of his stiffened cock at her dripping opening.
Oh my God. Her body threatened to collapse on top of Rafe. With hardly any strength left, she needed Lucky’s supporting arm.
Slowly she eased down onto Rafe’s cock, the engorged head stretching her opening. At last, he filled her, stroking her inner flesh with his steel-hard cock, as he slowly thrust upward into her vagina, in and out, and in and out, in tandem to Lucky’s finger caressing inside her little hole. Rafe held her up by supporting her shoulders, and Lucky held her up with his arm hooked beneath her waist.
She began to ride Rafe. Slow and easy, she moved her hips up and down so she wouldn’t aggravate any of his bruises. Lucky moved his hand with her body. The sensations in her pussy grew more intense. She felt Lucky’s fingers feather between her butt cheeks, as he delved in and out of her tight hole.
“Darlin’, your little ring is so tight.” His fingers swirled around her inside before he pulled his fingers partway out and pushed them inside a little way again. With Rafe’s thick cock filling her vagina, she felt so full. Her need increased, and her flesh contracted with more heat, making her moan. Lucky smoothed his other hand around her hip to her swollen folds. He circled and tormented her clit in rhythm with Rafe’s thrusts. Rafe kneaded her breasts and gently pinched her nipples.
“Kiss me, babe,” Rafe urged, his voice low and raspy.
She stretched forward and down until she could brush her lips over his. Her bottom was presented to Lucky in this position, but she didn’t care. She had no womanly shyness left. Lucky’s other hand was tantalizing the folds of her pussy and her swollen clit, and he never stopped arousing her. She had never felt so much sexual manipulation ever before with any man.
Rafe cupped the back of her head and held her as she parted her lips and met his tongue with hers. He ravaged her lips and mouth with a searing kiss, his tongue stroking hers in rhythm with his cock moving in and out of her pussy. Sensations streamed through her body and threatened to overwhelm her. Lucky continued to pleasure her, his caresses in her tight hole gentle as his other hand moved to cup her breast and squeeze the nipple. Jolts of heat streamed through her pussy, her opening caressing Rafe’s cock.
A rumbling growl rose from deep in Rafe’s chest, his neck arched, and he climaxed. Her body tightened, and she shook uncontrollably as her orgasm kicked in again. Panting, she moaned from all the incredibly sweet aches pulsing through her belly and pussy, all the touches and titillations of their hands on her most private parts.
When their bodies quieted, she realized that Lucky hadn’t been pleasured yet. Lucky slowly extracted his fingers from her little hole.
“Stay right there and don’t move,” Lucky said. He disappeared into her bathroom and quickly returned with a damp washcloth. Gently he pleasured her as he wiped her little hole. When he finished and headed back to the bathroom, she eased off of Rafe and rolled to her back beside him. He stroked her arm at his side as she relaxed, totally lethargic.
Lucky returned, and she held her arms up to him. “Come here,” she said.
Rafe shifted to give them room and rolled to his side toward her. She was well aware he was going to watch, and that added even more spice to their lovemaking. Rafe wanted to watch her pleasure Lucky. How generous was that?
Lucky crawled onto the bed between her legs as she parted them wide for him. She raised her knees, and he lowered himself to nestle his broad shoulders between her thighs. The pressure of his hips against her pussy felt wonderful. “You’re beautiful, darlin’, all rosy and pouting. I’m dying to taste you and nibble your sweet pussy.”
“Please do.” She couldn’t wait for what he had in mind, and smiled at him.
He parted her labia with his fingers. Cool air teased her damp flesh, and her muscles contracted, her opening tightening. He pressed a kiss to her clit. As she watched him, his head lowered between her thighs, and he licked and sucked her folds and took her clit between his lips again, flicking and licking that little nub.
Rafe covered her breast nearest him and teased the nipple.
“Oh!” She inhaled deeply. A little orgasm pulsed through her swollen flesh.
Lucky smiled at her as he rose up and moved himself with one arm on the bed. He positioned the head of his sheathed cock at her slick opening. He rubbed the head through her still-dripping fluids and pushed inside her a little way. “Are you okay?”
She smiled back at him. “Yes, that feels so good. I want all of you.”
He pushed deeper, a look of simmering hunger darkening his eyes as he seated himself inside her. He was tight and thick, and once again she felt full, his cock teasing her womb. He reached between their bellies and circled her clit with the pad of his thumb. Around and around. Her hips jerked from the sexual tension.
A moan escaped her with the renewed feeling of tightness and pleasure. As he pulled partway out of her, she tilted her hips to take him deeper when he pushed back in. She pressed her feet against the mattress, meeting him with every deep stroke of his hard cock as he pushed in and pulled out, again and again, his balls touching her butt cheeks. The musky scent of their sex wafted around her. He continued to circle and press his thumb against her clit. She lost herself once again to the carnal pleasures they enjoyed together. Nothing mattered right now but their sexual needs and craving for that exquisite release.
When he lowered himself over her, she wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders, and her legs around his muscular hips.
As he lowered his head to the curve of her shoulder and neck, she had a glimpse of his gleaming eyes, reminding her of a feral beast. She knew he was very close to climaxing. She tilted her hips to take him deeper. A growling moan rose from deep in his chest. He climaxed. The hard pumping of his cock ignited another orgasm in her. Her moan increased in volume, climbing the scale as the sweet contractions rocked her, seemingly going on forever as he continued to thrust deep in her vagina. She held him tight to welcome his plunging thrusts.
The soft caress of Rafe’s hand up and down her arm brought her more pleasure as her body’s orgasm eased, but Lucky’s climax continued. She reveled in his sexual release.
When Lucky’s climax finally quieted, he kissed the side of her throat just below her ear. “Love you, so much, darlin’.”
She smiled at him. Shivers coursed down her back and legs. She loved him, too, but she was afraid to admit that to these two strong guys.
He chuckled and placed kisses across her face to her lips. She kissed him back, stroking his tongue with hers.
That was incredible, darlin’.” He smiled at her.
“Both of you are amazing.” She smiled first at Lucky and then at Rafe. They smiled back at her. A feeling of complete happiness and contentment filled her. Being with these two virile, gutsy guys felt so natural, and so right.
Lucky pulled his cock slowly from her channel. Little pulses teased her with his sliding motion. It seemed her body was
insatiable where these two were concerned. Rafe’s hand remained on her arm as Lucky moved to her other side and smoothed his hand over her waist. She covered their hands with hers, content to rest between them.
They had done things to her that she had never before experienced or even considered doing, and yet with them it felt good and perfect. She would like for them to stay with her. But she knew that they both had responsibilities for their family ranches. She wished they could stay together somehow. She just didn’t know if that would work. What would their families think? Maybe after breakfast she should take all of this up with both of them and they could all discuss it.
The morning sunlight filled the room. Darlene realized Rafe’s cuts had healed. She searched the areas that had been cut and bruised last night. Every single injury she could see had healed as if a week had passed. “How do you heal so fast? What are you taking, a miracle drug?”
Rafe shook his head in denial. “I’ve healed fast for as long as I can remember. No drugs involved.”
“I don’t understand it.” She rolled over and got out of bed. “There must be something special that makes you heal so quickly. I’ll bet physicians would love to know what it is. I’m going to shower now, and afterward I’ll start breakfast.” She headed for her bathroom.
* * * *
“Lucky, I realized while Darlene was taking part in mind-blowing sex with both of us just now that I love her. I have to tell her the truth, that I’m a werewolf. It’s not right to keep the truth from her. Even if she throws me out of her home forever, it’s a chance I have to take. After she returns to the bedroom, would you give me a little time alone with her so I can tell her?”
Lucky shoved his hands in his jeans pockets. “She needs to know I am, too. Are you going to tell her we’re all werewolves? You might as well. She’ll find out eventually. I just hate to lose her. But maybe it’s best to tell her before this thing we have going on goes too far, and she gets hurt.” Lucky left the room headed for the other bathroom.
Darlene opened the bathroom door and walked back into the bedroom wearing a terry cloth robe. She headed for her dresser.
Rafe got out of bed and went into the bathroom to quickly dispose of the used condom. He returned, hoping that she was still in the room.
She stood by her dresser, gathering clothes. He decided he’d better go for it. “Darlene, do you know how much you mean to me?”
She shook her head and smiled at him. “No. How much?”
“I need for you to know that you mean the world to me. I’ve never met anyone who means as much to me as you do.”
“You mean so much to me, too.” Her voice was soft, and her eyes were warm and dark from their lovemaking.
“I have to tell you something you don’t know about me, and I hope it won’t be the end of our relationship because I’m crazy in love with you.” He didn’t know what he would do without her. He had heard of soul mates among the wolf pack, and she must be his. They belonged together. Maybe she belonged to Lucky, too.
She turned and looked seriously at him.
Just tell her. “I don’t know how to tell you this. So I’ll just say it. What heals me so quickly are my shape-shifter powers.” He waited, holding his breath, waiting for her reaction.
“Rafe.” Her tone scoffed at what he’d said. “You tell some of the most ridiculous whoppers.”
Afraid of losing her forever, he gazed at her with all the sincerity he possessed. He kept his voice soft and even, and said, “No. Really, I’m being truthful. I’ve been a full-fledged werewolf since I was a teenager. I changed the first time at puberty. My brothers and friends are werewolves and so are the Hawks. We’ve all gone through the rights of initiation into our wolf pack back home.”
Darlene laughed at him. “That only works in the movies, buster.”
“It’s why the Hawks want us out of their territory. They’re werewolves, too. It’s also why I heal so fast. My family has come from a long line of wolf people.”
Darlene closed her dresser drawer slowly and walked into the hall where she stopped and turned, staring at him. Her eyes revealed her pain and disappointment. “If you insist on telling stories and playing games, and you have so little regard for me, just leave my home. Now. Take your friend, Lucky, with you. I can’t take this anymore. I won’t be used or played with. I’ve had enough of your games. It’s obvious you can’t take a relationship seriously.”
Her voice broke. “You could have died out there alone. Does anything have any importance to you? Do you take anything or anyone seriously? I doubt you know the true value of friendship, or our relationship.” Her eyes full of tears with more tears streaming down her face, she ran down the hall.
Rafe dropped onto the bed, rolled over on his side, and pulled a pillow over his head. Her scent surrounded him. He groaned, wanting to roar at losing her. If she refused to have anything more to do with him, he would live the rest of his life in hell. She was his soul mate. He knew that as well as he knew her lovely body. No other woman he’d met had ever meant as much to him as Darlene did.
He couldn’t leave her alone. The Hawks had threatened her. He hadn’t warned her about the Hawks and their threat. It was too dangerous for her to be alone, with the Hawks out for blood.
Rafe lurched from the bed and dressed quickly. He needed to find Lucky.
“Rafe.” Lucky stood in the bedroom doorway.
“Let’s go outside and talk. Darlene wants us out of here.”
“Hell. I couldn’t help hearing what she said. Let’s talk about this and see if we can figure out how to fix things with her. And there’s something else I need to tell you, and it’s something I should have told you a while back.” Lucky turned and started down the hall.
Rafe followed him outside to the pool. “I don’t want to lose her. I’ve never felt like this about anyone. I want to be with her always.” They sat down in nearby chairs.
Lucky rested his forearms on his knees and met Rafe’s eyes. “I feel the same. I want to spend every day with her. Maybe we can come up with something, or maybe she’ll want to be with us eventually. Maybe after she thinks about it for a while. Before we do anything, I need to tell you about Dutch.”
“Dutch?”
“You need to know the truth about him.”
“What are you talking about? I know what happened. I found him.”
“Yeah, but you don’t know why it happened.” Lucky took a deep breath. “Dutch didn’t tell you exactly what was going on with his family. He was afraid you would try to help and get hurt in the process. So he made me promise not to tell you that not only was his stepfather beating him when he came home drunk on a regular basis, but he had started beating Dutch’s mom.”
Rafe inhaled swiftly. He hadn’t known that. “Yeah, I would have definitely gone after that bastard. It was bad enough with her being my aunt, that my cousin Dutch was being beaten by the man she married after her divorce from Dutch’s dad. He was a son of a gun, too, but at least he didn’t beat Dutch, and I don’t think he beat my aunt. But what does that have to do with how Dutch died?”
Lucky shifted in his chair. “The year before Dutch died, he started taking chances, drinking too much, dating the wrong girls, daring death in the face.”
“I remember he acted foolhardy sometimes. Like that time he jumped into the corral with those half-wild horses and almost got crushed before we could pull him out of there.” Rafe remembered how scared he’d been for Dutch. Rafe’s heart had been in his throat before they’d been able to grab hold of Dutch and yank him up onto the fence railing. He remembered how Dutch had laughed. But it wasn’t funny to Rafe then, and it was definitely not funny now.
“And that was just one of the things he did. The stuff he was doing was more than just foolhardy. You weren’t with us the night he climbed the bridge over the gorge. I thought I’d never get him down from there. Scared me. He’d had too much to drink and drove out there in the night when it was pitch black. I had a heck of a ti
me getting him to come down off the bridge before he got too high up. He could have killed himself that night. Don’t you see? He had started taking dangerous chances, almost as if he wanted to die.”
Rafe frowned. “Oh, I don’t know. He didn’t seem that crazy.”
Lucky shrugged. “I think he was desperate because of the situation at home. He couldn’t fix the problem, and it was getting worse. He didn’t want anyone to know, and especially not you. He was afraid you would get beat up by his stepdad like he had been. Also, his mom wanted to keep it all secret from the family.”
“Well, as far as I know, she did. I never heard my parents say anything about her being beaten by her second husband.”
“I think Dutch took one chance too many that night of the coming-of-age initiation. He had been drinking, and he probably had a bottle with him that night. He may have had one drink too many when he walked along the edge of that cliff. He probably lost his footing and fell. I think that if his home life hadn’t been such a nightmare, he wouldn’t have been taking those chances. It wasn’t your fault. I think it was bound to happen sooner or later.”
Rafe took a deep breath. “I also felt like I was responsible for the breakup of my aunt’s marriage to that bastard after Dutch’s death. Now I can see why she left that man.”
Lucky nodded. “Exactly.”
“Thanks for telling me, bud. Now that I know what he was facing at home, I can understand what happened.” Rafe felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his shoulders. “Dutch’s mom no longer suffers from that evil man. Dutch can be at peace.” He wanted to remember the good times before Dutch started having problems with his stepfather.
After a few moments, he put those memories aside. “We have a problem. Darlene doesn’t believe me, that we’re shifters, and she wants us to leave. But with the Hawks threatening her, we can’t leave her unprotected. I don’t know what to do. For sure, I am not leaving her here alone without someone to keep watch and protect her. The Hawks would have free rein to come in here and kidnap her.”
