  “We don’t have to talk about it, Cassy. In the elevator I just gave you too much slack, but it won’t happen again. As long as you’re around I’ll be fine. I’m not going to lie to you again- a lot of the reason we hit it off so well at the bar was because we’re attracted to each other on a primal level. It’s like how you like the way I smell and why I take you straight to bed. That’s our instincts. But after our date, when I decided to tell you, it was because I really like you as a man. I’ve never met any other person even remotely like you- eternally optimistic and so bubbly even though you’ve had a terrible life. That’s why, if you don’t think you can get over what I am, I won’t try to keep you. If I make you miserable because this thing is in the way…”

  “That’s not it.” Whispering, Cassandra interrupted Lukas but didn’t look away from her knees. She wasn’t sure why, but she just couldn’t look at him the way she was. Uncertain and afraid isn’t the way she wanted him to see her.

  “I thought a lot about it, and I’m sure it’ll be fine with some time… I just… I’ve never thought about dating or anything. Everyone, even now- they make fun of me and look down on me because I’m a high school dropout turned overnight millionaire. They think my life is so easy because I still live at home and I never worked a day in my life. But it’s not easy. It’s not easy being happy all the time. It’s not easy seeing people I went to school with on the street and getting talked about to their friends or coworkers. How can you want someone like me when I can’t even acknowledge my own shortcomings?” Up until that very moment Cassandra had never voiced anything bad that happened to her. She ignored it, moving on with her day in complete ignorance. Even when she heard what was being said about her but not to her she passed it off, convincing herself that it was about someone else. When being happy became a chore she would find something to distract herself.

  Really her entire life was a lie that she didn’t want to wake up from and it was debilitating.

  “Hey.” Finally reaching for her, Lukas gently took Cassandra’s face in his palms and the heat from her flushed cheeks scorched his skin. It’d been too long since he last touched her, but he brushed aside his pounding heart to thumb her damp, mile long eyelashes. He’d never seen her so vulnerable before, even when he’d brought up her father on their date.

  “To me, you don’t have shortcomings, baby. Everything about you is perfect and no one can convince me otherwise. It doesn’t matter to me if you lie to yourself because I know the truth, even if you don’t say it. I know I’m lucky to even know you. I know that sometimes you need to punch and scream at something, but you won’t let yourself. Most of all I know how much you want to feel worthy, and you are. You’re worthy even if only to me. I’m one of the most powerful species of shifter in the world, Cassy, and you mean almost everything to me.” Lukas was so serious, maintaining eye contact through his entire speech, that the tears Cassandra tried so desperately to keep it in but it couldn’t be contained anymore. It wasn’t that people didn’t love her; her mother and her sister surely did. No one had ever just sat her down and explained why. Truly it was very confusing being loved but not knowing why. She never knew what values and virtues people liked about her and what they didn’t.

  Unable to hide his small smile, Lukas couldn’t squash his triumph at the simple fact that he’d cracked Cassandra like an egg. She’d opened up to him, and he knew without a doubt that she’d never done that with anyone before. Out of the corner of his eye he saw her lifting her hands, but he didn’t try to stop her from striking his chest. First it was a few weak punches, but then they got harder and she even scooted closer to him.

  “I hate it! I hate it! I hate it!” Cassandra started to sob, but Lukas didn’t shy away even though she faintly registered his breath huffing when she struck him. Even though she expected to feel disgusting it just wasn’t there, and the longer she let herself cry the lighter she felt. After a while her hands started to hurt, her arms shook and she could barely breathe, and it was only then that he wrapped his arms around her.

  “I know, baby.” Cocooned in strength and security, her chest tightened as he spoke low into her hair, his hand pressing firmly against her back. She hadn’t realized how much she missed his hugs.

  “Do you… Do you think I could stay with you for a little while?” Nodding absently, Lukas ignored his inner beast’s screech of triumph at her small, hiccupping request. This was only one battle in a war he hadn’t won yet. After all, he hadn’t even shifted in front of her, and being confronted with a dragon twice as tall as himself was scary for anyone.

  “Yeah, Cassy, for as long as you want.”

  Trudging into Lukas’s apartment, Cassandra pushed off her sneakers and instantly dropped onto the couch to rub her face for the tenth time since leaving her house. Behind her she could hear him dropping her back pack on the hardwood, but it didn’t take him long to sit beside her and throw his arm across her shoulders.

  “If you’re going to live here you have to pay rent, Cassy.”

  “But didn’t you say…” Turning to find a small smirk on Lukas’s face, Cassandra felt her face heat up when she realized he wasn’t talking about money. Immediately glancing down at her lap, she let out a small huff, but was surprised to find she really didn’t mind the sexual innuendo. If the past few days were any indication she expected to feel uncomfortable and out of place, but it was as it had been since the first met. She felt instead something similar to freedom. It was like she could be herself around him and never be judged badly. The thought brought a small smile to her face before he tightened his arm around her to pull her into his lap, straddling his waist.

  “You’re so sexy when you act all innocent, baby. It’s a major turn on.” Capturing Cassandra’s mouth before she could reply, Lukas groaned as that familiar heat spread through his body like a raging fire. She needed some loving after everything she’d been going through and he was perfectly happy to comply. Sneaking his hand into her thick, mahogany hair, he felt her shiver acutely over the crotch of his jeans as her own fingers wrapped around his jaw. It was something he loved about her. She didn’t grab his hair even though she liked her own being tugged on.

  Opening her mouth with little prodding, Cassandra felt her mind reel at how fast the tables could turn. Only half an hour ago she was hitting Lukas, crying into his shirt. Now she was making out with him shamelessly. It was almost enough to give her whiplash if he wasn’t so sweetly distracting her. Despite their time apart, his kisses were still tender and soft, managing to pull a small whimper from her throat. She’d been with a man before that was hard and demanding and it hadn’t been a very pleasant experience. In fact, it was the reason she avoided men for the better part of two years. Working on her virtual reality headset would get tiring sometimes, but after that event she didn’t go out and try to appease her boredom in that way.

  “If you’re going to have sex on the couch, do it after I leave tomorrow, capiche?” The new voice made Cassandra squeak, bouncing on Lukas’s lap from the surprise, and her face flamed hard at the sight of a tall, lanky man leaning on the kitchen counter. She’d only known of Alex in passing conversation, but he was much more handsome than she’d expected. Lukas described him once as a ‘bean pole’, and now she could see it was very apt. Still, it didn’t take away from how good he looked in a fitted suit.

  “Are you going to watch, mister blue balls? If not, I suggest you shut yourself in your office like you usually do all damn day.” Lukas was a little snappy but his words only made Cassandra blush harder, and he smiled a bit as she hid in his t-shirt.

  “Hey, don’t start with me, man. Besides, you don’t know. Maybe she likes being watched. Hell, maybe she wants a threesome. Did you ask? No- didn’t think so.” Going wide eyed at the banter, Cassandra stiffened and she was sure Lukas noticed because she could feel him frowning at her. She’d watched a few threesome pornographies before, and she couldn’t deny she wanted to try it. Hearing a snort ab
ove her, she guessed he figured out what she was thinking as his hand in her hair tightened.

  “Oh my God, baby- don’t even think it.” Glancing up, she let out a guilty smile at his groan before opening her mouth to respond.

  “I’m sorry! But it looked so interesting! And I’ve only had sex with you and… you know- maybe it’s different now because… you know.” Lukas grimaced at the image in his head, but with the way Cassandra was peering up at him he knew he’d give in. Besides, the little voice in his head told him this was a good thing because she was right. No other man would be as satisfying to her as he was. Better he gets it out of the way now, like with his shifting. This time the tables had turned on him, though.

  Karma surely was only nasty bitch.

  “Please? Just one time!” When he glanced at Alex he could see the bean pole knew what was being discussed and he only groaned before turning back to her. She was getting excited thinking about it, and he knew he was no match. Even giving her to his friend, something he detested with every fiber of his being, was going to happen because he didn’t have the will to deny her.

  “Fine, but for the record I’m not on board with this at all, Cassy. And I can guarantee you I’m much better than he is.” Jumping to her feet, Cassandra fist bumped the air with yet another squeak. She never thought she’d be in this position, but it was better than she could’ve hoped for. At least it wasn’t two strangers, and if they had been she wouldn’t have wanted to do it anyway. When she was younger she thought maybe if she had a boyfriend, but she’d never had a boyfriend.

  “Great! What do we do first?” Looking between the two, Cassandra smiled brightly at how different their expressions were. Alex was smirking, and Lukas was frowning. She had the utmost faith that everything would work out though. When Lukas didn’t respond Alex pushed himself off the counter to saunter over to the couch.

  “I don’t mind being a third wheel, honey. I’m sure Lukas here won’t let me get anywhere near between your legs anyway.” Frowning at that, Cassandra turned to Lukas to watch him shrug, his frown set deep in his expression.

  “It wouldn’t be much of a threesome if I didn’t. Just do what you want, Cassy. I can’t stop you.”

  After a moment of thought Cassandra dropped to her knees to unbutton Lukas’s jeans, and he opened his legs more to give her some room. As much as he said he didn’t like this plan, he was already half up, and she pulled down his pants a little as her mouth watered. She liked giving head, and the power it gave her, especially with him. Knowing all of that muscle was at her disposal made butterflies erupt in her tummy as she stroked his smooth, hot skin. It wasn’t like he was particularly huge, either, and she could comfortably take all of him without choking.

  “I fucking love it when you suck my dick, Cassy.” Lukas lifted his head as he spoke to watch Cassandra wrap her lips around the head of his cock before sliding down until she reached the base. Maybe it was because his beast wanted her, but no woman he’d ever been with felt so good. It was enough to make him swear, at least, and that wasn’t something he usually did even during sex. Lifting his hips, he gathered up her hair and only absently registered Alex next to him as he unzipped his dress pants. The last thing he wanted was to see another guy jerking off to his woman.

  Bopping up and down, Cassandra enjoyed the taste on her tongue as Lukas’s penis slid easily from her mouth and down her throat. She reached over, groping blindly for Alex since her eyes were closed, and groaned when her fingers wrapped around his length. Lust slithered into her mind like a creeping fog, mixing with her excitement to make her body hot.

  “Your hands are so soft- holy shit.” Stroking Alex’s shaft, Cassandra swiped her thumb over the tip, but the bead of pre-cum wasn’t enough to soothe the friction she felt. Lifting herself off Lukas, she was going to switch but he stopped her to grip her hips and pull her ass up as he slid down to pull off her own jeans. Throwing her leg over the back of the couch, his mouth latched onto her core to draw a harsh moan out of her. His tongue parted her lower lips, and she gasped as her free hand tangled in Alex’s shirt before she leaned down to lick his member.

  It wasn’t all that bad but it certainly was worse than Lukas’, not that she complained. Her abdomen cramped tightly knowing she would be pleasured by two men at the same time. That feeling was only amplified because she wouldn’t feel bad about it afterwards.

  “Jesus fuck- no wonder Lukas keeps you to himself.” Growling out the words, Alex thrust his hips and suddenly everything made sense as his head fell back. Not only was Cassandra a stunning woman physically, but she could rock any man’s world. He had no doubt she had a wonderful personality too, even if he wasn’t particularly concerned about it in that moment. If he had someone like her he’d never let her leave his room either.

  Cassandra felt like her orgasm was so close and she knew somewhere in her hazy mind Lukas could sense it because his tongue slid into her entrance. His thumb circled her clit gently and her thighs quivered as she pushed herself to sit up. Moaning loudly, she held Alex’s shoulder to keep herself steady and rolled her hips, hitting the angle just right. Sucking in air, she held her breath as her body seized up and her toes curled to reflect the way her eyes rolled in their sockets. Her abdomen tightened but Lukas didn’t stop pushing his tongue into her channel, riding through her orgasm and lapping up her essence.

  “You taste so good, Cassy.” Turning her, Lukas positioned Cassandra so she was once again straddling him before guiding himself into her channel. Her hands weakly held the cushion behind him and he held her hips as his gasp flowed down the neckline of her shirt. Wet and tight, her channel ached against his cock as he withdrew only to thrust back in.

  He didn’t even think about what she’d been doing while he was going down on her.

  Glancing over at Alex quickly, Lukas nodded shortly before his friend stood up. He’d never tried anal sex with Cassandra before, but he knew this wasn’t her first time. Instead of thinking on it too much he focused on her face. Her flushed cheeks and parted lips were only an inch from him and gave him a perfect view of her ecstasy.

  When Cassandra felt something pressing against her back entrance, she sucked in air sharply and Lukas tightened his grip on her waist. Excitement made her tingle in that place that had never tingled before, and she wasn’t sure what to expect. Anal sex hadn’t been all that exciting and she didn’t really like it. Hopefully this time was different. Slowly she felt Alex enter her, but it didn’t hurt and with her feminine sheath already full she squirmed from how bloated she felt.

  “Shit, shit, shit- shit…” Alex’s slew of swears came right before he started to thrust just as slowly as he’d entered her, and Cassandra immediately began to spasm.

  “L- Lukas… hur-ry… hard…” Thrusting in sync with Alex, Lukas grunted in acknowledgment as she came hard. He wasn’t particularly thrilled about this, but he pushed it aside when she laid down on him fully to bury her face in his neck.

  “Oh my God! Oh-h-h-h! G- God!” Letting out a shriek, Cassandra felt her insides constrict until it hurt, and her head was beginning to feel heavy from holding her breath. Her fingers ached and colorful spots appeared behind her eyelids as she squeezed them ever more tightly together.

  “Fuck- Cassy…” Lukas thrust harder and Alex pulled out of her completely only a moment before large hands held her down. Against her chest Lukas twitched lightly, groaning as his length pulsed inside her as he came. She wasn’t sure what happened with Alex, but as she fought for air, she really didn’t care. Holding onto Lukas tightly, she snuggled into his neck and one of his arms reached around her to trap her firmly against him.

  “Lukas…” Hearing the mumble, Lukas leaned his head on the back of the couch as he panted harshly. Every orgasm he’d had with Cassandra had been mind-blowing, and this one was no different. Ignoring Alex, he held her close but still let her breathe as her shaking calmed down.

  “You did a great job, Cassy. Luke is one lucky bastard.” Cassandra gl
anced over at Alex as the words slowly registered in her mind and smiled lazily. Her first coherent thought was that being in a threesome was nice, but she probably wouldn’t do it again. Lukas was enough for her; anymore and it would be overwhelming, but any less and it wasn’t satisfying. Wrapping her hand around the base of his neck, she closed her eyes again and snuggled into his chest as a wave of fatigue washed over her.

  It was a startling reminder that too much sex wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

  “She lasted a while, you know. It’s been almost an hour.” Alex waited until he was sure Cassandra was out like a light before speaking up. Lukas only frowned, though. It wasn’t like he expected differently, even if this was just a one-time thing. His pencil thin housemate always had something to say about everything, even if he didn’t want to talk about it.

  “Why don’t you go after her sister and leave Cassy to me, okay? She’s a lawyer, so she can see through your shit. You set her up.” Scowling lightly at Alex’s nonchalant shrug, Lukas really wanted to beat the crap out of him but he couldn’t with Cassandra on him. He knew the moment Alex spoke up he wouldn’t like what was going to happen. Alex also knew Lukas probably wouldn’t hold his own against her, and even less so after their ‘fight’.

  “Maybe, but she wanted to do it and I didn’t actually do it on purpose. I thought she’d get all embarrassed and you’d go to your room. It was a bad idea, I’ll admit, knowing her just from what you’ve said. Then again, you have to know she’ll never sleep with anyone else after that. Even I could tell it was all about you.” Pulling his pants back up, Alex fastened the button and adjusted the zipper as he spoke but he knew he was right.
