“I’ve already done that, lass. Changing back was the only way tae keep me from getting ill from it.”

“Then get away from the fire before something happens!”

“Nothing will happen now, lass. There’s nothing tae worry about. I’ll be fine in a few minutes now that I’m back in my human form. We cool down easier in this form.” He raised his arms and looked at himself. “Humans can release heat from every part of their body, unlike my bear form. In that form, there are only a few places from which we can release heat.” He turned onto his side and looked down into her face. “I’ll be fine. My question is how are ye?” He leaned down to kiss the tip of her nose.

“I’ll be fine.” She shivered a bit. “I’m cold, but I think that’s because the snow has melted on my clothes and now I’m wet.” She gave him a sideways glance. “Do you think I should take off these wet clothes?”

Jamie stifled his grin and raised a brow. “If ye desire, lass. Ye ken I’ll be here tae keep ye warm once ye remove the offending garments.”

He watched as she stood and began to remove her clothes. She’d removed the second slipper when Duncan opened the door and walked into the room.

Lara turned and gave him a smile. “I don’t know what he’s told you, but I’m fine,” she said to his expression of concern.

“Ye look more than fine, lass.” Jamie saw his Adam’s apple bob up and down. “Ye look good enough tae eat.”

She shook her head and looked toward the door that led to the bathroom that connected Duncan’s room with hers. This had been Jamie’s room until last night. Last night, he couldn’t think of her being anywhere but his or Duncan’s room and he knew Maggie would never see her son displaced for a human stranger, even a dying one.

Lifting the hem of her shirt, she grabbed the waist of the skirt and shoved it over her hips. With no hesitation, Lara straightened, grasped the hem of her blouse and yanked it over her head. “Neither of you is touching me until I’ve had a bath.” She smiled. “You’re welcome to join me if you like.”

Jamie swallowed thickly, his naked body giving the lass no doubt as to his intentions. “Aye, lass. I would like that very much.

* * * *

“As would I, lass.” Duncan felt himself grow hard. Nothing could have prepared him for the beauty of her naked form standing in the glow of the fire. She’d just told Jamie she was cold, but her body looked warm and flushed. Whether it was from the heat of the fire or shyness, he wasn’t sure.

His cock grew hard as a brick of kiln-dried clay as he stood staring at her in the golden glow of the fire. Orange light stroked her skin as the flames in the hearth licked at the thick oak logs. He wanted nothing more than to drag her into his arms and make her his.

He glanced at Jamie whose face wore the same expression as his. He knew it did. Duncan could feel the way his mouth was set in the same way. How his gaze followed her every movement and his hands clenched into fists at his sides.

Tilting her head, she gave him a soft smile. “But you’re still dressed.”

“Not for long.” Duncan knew she had no idea what they could do but decided to enlighten her. He removed his clothes with little more than a thought. He grinned at her wide-eyed look. “We can remove our clothes with a thought, make things from whatever is in nature around us and we have all been gifted with telepathy.” He held his hands out to his sides when he sensed her slight apprehension. “But ken this, Lara. We would never hurt ye.”

She glared at him, her shoulders back and her chin up. He loved the way her blue eyes flashed at him as she turned to head toward the adjoining bathroom. “I know that. Do you think I’m dense or something?” She strode into the bathroom, her head high. “You two just
might
want to get your butts in here before I change my mind.”

He glanced at Jamie just before he bolted for the door.
I dinnae ken what we did so right tae deserve such a bonnie mate, Jamie, but I will thank the gods for her every day I live.

Aye,
was Jamie’s only reply as they both followed Lara into the bathroom.

Chapter Nine

Lara had no idea what had gotten into her. Never had she been so bold or brazen in her life. She felt her nipples harden in the colder air of the bathroom as she bent to place the plug in the drain and turn on the taps.

She looked at herself in the mirror. The dim light provided by the fire did little to make her look more appealing. She could see dark circles under her eyes and her hair was mussed from the wild ride Jamie had taken her on before he brought her here. She tried to tell herself that the two men owed her. She’d told them what she expected when she woke up and they’d left her here in this room to awaken alone. Though it didn’t change the fact that she
knew
she was being brazen. She’d never been so forward with a man in her life, not to mention two.

Still, she reached out to feel the warmth of the water and let it run over her fingers. She closed her eyes with a groan when she felt two warm hands cup her breasts from behind.

This was what she wanted.
This
was why she’d dreamed of coming to Scotland so many times. If they had certain powers, why couldn’t she believe that somehow, she knew she was supposed to be here with these two men?

Things happened and other, impossible, species existed. If they could be here on this earth with all of their amazing abilities, was it really so far a stretch to believe that by some bizarre twist of fate, she was
supposed
to be here with these two men?

“Do ye like that, lass?” Jamie asked, his breath brushing her ear just before he suckled the lobe into her mouth.

“I think she does,” Duncan said with a chuckle behind her. “Tell us, lass. Hae ye ever taken a man here?” He pressed the head of his shaft against her anus. “If ye hae nae, one of us will leave. We don’t want tae hurt ye and if ye hae never taken a man in the ass, we need tae ken.”

Lara nodded, her eyes still closed. “My ex used to like that a lot. I just broke up with him after I found him in
my
bed with a younger woman. Damn him to hell.” She panted as Duncan reached around her front to thrust two fingers into the wetness at the juncture of her thighs. “In fact, I think he liked that more than he liked to—”

“Sh, lass. There’s no need tae bring up old hurts. Ye hae us now, Lara, and I’d say, of the two of ye, ye was the one who got the better bargain.” Jamie leaned down to suck the tip of her breast into his mouth.

Gasping for breath, she stared down into the tub as the water continued to fill the large garden tub. She stared at the seats nestled against the edge and the water jets that, until now, had gone unseen.

“I said
after
my bath, maybe even during my bath, but not before. I stink.”

“No, ye don’t, lass,” Duncan said against her back as he placed an opened-mouth kiss to her spine. “Ye smell heavenly, like sweet summer honey fresh from the hive.” He chuckled. “And ye must ken how much bears like honey—even polar bears. We
do
hae a sweet tooth.”

Her body heated as though she blushed all over. Hell, she probably did. She didn’t dare open her eyes again. If she did, she would be tempted to look in the mirrors that surrounded the tub. And it was what she would see in the mirrors that frightened her.

Lara couldn’t believe she was doing this. She wasn’t a wanton, nor was she any other type of loose woman. Still, she couldn’t stop herself from pushing her bottom back into Duncan’s hard cock as he continued to fondle her and Jamie suckled the tips of her too-sensitive breasts into tighter peaks.

Her entire body hummed as they continued their sensual assault. Jamie moved from under her and sat in the steaming water. Reaching over, he turned off the taps. The tub was full enough, especially for three people.

Reaching out, Jamie pulled her to him, lifting her over him with his massive strength and settling her in his lap, his cock just inches away from her weeping vagina.

Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath. Was she really ready for this? Could she really do this with two men she barely knew?

She had her answer when she looked deep into Jamie’s eyes. Somehow, she could see his love for her. He may not be ready to admit it to himself yet, but it was there, just the same. It was unlike anything she’d ever seen or felt before. She didn’t know how she knew. She only knew that she could look into his eyes and see what he felt for her. Or perhaps she was feeling it through some sort of mental link.

Whichever it was didn’t matter. She gasped as he leaned forward, took one hardened nipple in his mouth and rolled the other between his thumb and forefinger. She moaned when he raised his head to kiss her, both of his hands working their magic on her breasts.

Duncan moved behind her, his hands skimming up and down her sides, over the globes of her rear and around to delve in the moisture between her thighs. “You’re so wet and ready for us.” His fingers circled her clit, causing her to buck and jump in their arms. “I cannae wait tae sink my cock into your waiting heat.” He moved his hand higher to cup the slight roundness of her belly. “I cannae wait for one of us tae plant a babe in your womb.”

Lara groaned again, liquid heat gushing from her womb and sliding down her thighs. She didn’t think there was anything he could say to turn her on more. He wanted a baby with her.

“We both want a wee bairn with ye, lass,” Jamie said against her breast. “It would surprise ye, just how long we’ve wanted a mate and a family. We’d like tae get started right away, if you’re of the mind.”

“Of the mind?” she panted as Duncan reached over and grabbed a jar of what looked like some sort of petroleum jelly. “Before I came here, I had almost contemplated selling my soul for a baby.”

That wasn’t entirely true, but she had been close to desperate. Thank God for those two turtledoves she’d followed into the woods.

Duncan massaged a liberal amount of the lubricant into her anus, working his fingers in and out of her tight hole until he had three of his large fingers working their way in and out of her.

Lara leaned back, wanting, needing more than they were giving her. She desperately needed one or both of them inside her. She wasn’t sure she could take the feeling of Jamie’s cock pressed against her clit and Duncan working his fingers inside her for another minute.

“Please, you two. I don’t think I can take any more.” Lara didn’t mean to beg. She wasn’t sure how they would react. A part of her feared that they would tease her mercilessly if she let on just how much she needed to feel them inside her.

“Ye can and ye will,” Jamie said as he lifted her in his arms. Duncan held her from behind, his hands steadying her as Jamie lifted her legs over his shoulders.

“It’s
my
turn tae make you scream first tonight,” Jamie said just before he grabbed her by the thighs and lifted her to his opened mouth. The moment Jamie touched her nether flesh with his thumbs, pulling her open to suckle her clit into his mouth, she bucked.

Her reaction only helped him, bringing her most private parts closer to his face and his marauding tongue and mouth. Jamie’s fingers tightened in an effort to hold her still as he licked and suckled her already-hard clit.

Lara stiffened, her thighs clenching around Jamie’s head as he continued to drive her closer and closer to that precipice she knew would take her to heaven when she toppled off the edge. Finally, after what seemed an eternity, Lara screamed, her climax washing over her as Jamie continued to feast upon her body.

Duncan remained behind her, supporting her on his legs as he reached around to pull and pluck at her nipples while Jamie continued to suckle her clit. Again and again she climaxed, her body clenching and releasing as though in the throes of some great seizure.

“Please,” she begged. She wasn’t sure she could take any more. She feared the pleasure just might drive her over the edge into madness. Nothing had ever felt this good and Lara feared it would never feel so good again.

She’d almost given into the oblivion of unconsciousness when Jamie finally lifted her away from him. “Delicious,” she thought she heard him say but wasn’t sure. She was too out of it to know exactly what was going on. All she knew was that she wanted them inside her and she didn’t really give a damn where.

Chapter Ten

Lara felt weak when Jamie finally lowered her to his lap. His hard shaft prodded at her channel, begging entrance while Duncan moved behind her.

“Oh, no you don’t.” She grabbed Duncan’s wrist and brought him up to her side. “It’s my turn to taste
you
.”

She stared at his shaft with surprise. He wasn’t freakishly huge, but he was a bit larger than she was used to. Shaking her head, Lara determined to put her past behind her. In her mind, the others weren’t meant to make her happy, these two men were.

It seemed strange that she would even contemplate having a relationship with two men, not to mention two men she’d only known for little more than a day. Since this was the time of miracles and she had already seen a few, she decided that her falling for these two men so fast could be filed in the same category—under holiday miracles.

“Wait a minute, lass. I want tae get myself inside ye before ye do that. If you’re going tae bring Duncan pleasure in that way, ye need tae be getting some pleasure of your own at the same time.”

Jamie lifted her up and lowered her over his own impressive shaft. “That’s it, lass. Bear down on me and we’ll get ye humming again in no time.”

Once Jamie was inside her, his shaft slowly working its way into her channel, Lara reached out, running her hands over Duncan’s legs and thighs. She kissed his navel and worked her way down, teasing every inch of the way with her tongue.

After she heard him groan, Lara changed from kissing to licking around the base of his cock, one hand holding his shaft while the other massaged his balls. Gently, she brought his sac forward and sucked, grinning when she heard his breath hitch.

“Dinnae tease me, lass.”

Lara wasn’t certain if that was a demand or if Duncan was begging her to move on to the business at hand. Whichever it was, it didn’t matter. Lara was ready to move on. Taking him more firmly in hand, she licked up and down the length of his shaft until his legs began to shake. Just when she was certain he’d had enough, she slowly took the head of his shaft into her mouth, gently suckling the head while Jamie continued to slowly thrust into her channel, stretching her and getting her ready for what would come next. She only hoped she could take it.
