“Easy, sweetheart. Everything’s okay.”
“You’re upset. You didn’t want me to bite you.”
“That’s not true. It just caught us by surprise. We didn’t think you’d be able to return our claim…not like that.”
She shook her head, pulling out of their hold as she stumbled to her feet, tripping her way across the room. She palmed the wall, bending over as her entire body trembled.
“Shit!” Jude vaulted off the bed, stalking over to her.
A loud growl echoed through the room as she glanced at them, her canines showing beneath her lip.
Jude held up his hands, murmuring soothing tones at her. “Ethan.”
He moved in beside Jude, nudging the other man’s arm. “Guess she’s closer to the edge than we thought. Talking might have to wait until we calm her wolf down. I think it’s feeling threatened. Rejected.”
“Fickle little minx, isn’t it?” He smiled at McKenna. “We’re right here, darlin’. Whatever you need, just try to breathe for us.”
She gave them a show of teeth, her head tipping back as a ripple cascaded down her body, another ghosted image of fur following in its wake. She hissed out her next breath, hitting her head against the wall before snapping her gaze toward them, the red in her eyes impossible to miss. “Mine.”
Jude nodded. “Yours. Both of us. Just come back to bed.”
She snarled, her focus dropping to their groins. She licked her lips, glancing at them then back to their cocks. “Mine.”
Ethan inched his way toward her. “Yes, yours. Whatever you need. Just pull it back. You can’t claim us if you’re not in control.”
She frowned, squeezing her eyes shut as she forced in a few raspy breaths. Ethan took the opportunity to close in on her, touching her back as he pressed against her. She jumped, looking up at him as Jude snugged against her other side, bracing her between them. Another shiver beaded her skin with goose bumps, and Ethan knew her wolf had relinquished control—at least partly.
He smoothed his fingers along her spine, smiling when she finally gazed up at him. “That’s our girl. Now just tell us what you need and it’s yours.”
Her eyes narrowed, and she glanced at Jude before palming each of their chests, slowing sinking to her knees. Ethan tensed as her nails scratched a path down his ribs, pausing at the base of his cock.
He reached for her chin, gaining her attention. “If we move this to the bed, you can taste Jude while I lick you.”
A strained huff breezed across the tip of his shaft, making it pulse as she seemed to war with some kind of internal battle. Then she shook her head, gripping his length with her small fingers. “Both. First.”
He chuckled, knowing he’d give her anything, wolf or not. “If it’s what you want…”
His voice rasped into a moan as she fisted his shaft, drawing her hand down his length then back again before doing the same to Jude’s. The other man’s breath hissed out, the sound seeming to soothe McKenna slightly. Her muscles eased—the stiff line of her back softening. She looked up at Ethan, confusion marring her brow.
Ethan threaded his fingers through her hair, holding the silky tresses back from her face. “Looks like your other half doesn’t want to follow our lead. But we can wait. So stop worrying and touch us the way you need to.”
She stared at Jude, almost as if seeing their positions for the first time. She glanced at the mattress then at them. “I thought I was on…”
“Shhh. It’ll all make sense soon enough. Now either touch your fill, or you’re going to find yourself back on the bed with my tongue against your cleft.”
A throaty hum sounded as her eyes darkened. Ethan smiled. Her wolf wasn’t that far removed, and based on the carnal look in her eyes, it had every intention of finishing its claim. She lowered her gaze, leaning in to blow a heated breath across the tip of his cock. It jerked in response, flexing against her hold.
A smile teased the corners of her mouth. “So soft, but so hard. God, I can’t wait to taste the two of you.”
She twisted slightly to face Jude, copying her actions on the other man, moaning when a bead of fluid beaded from the thin slit. She flicked her gaze to Ethan, ensuring he was watching before bending forward and licking away the drop.
“God, you taste so good. I wonder if Ethan’s the same.”
She moved back to him, hovering her mouth above his shaft, inhaling an audible breath. Her eyelids fluttered closed before blinking open, the blue nearly completely hidden by the black. She grinned, and he knew it wasn’t just the woman gazing at him.
She moistened her lips, pumping both of their shafts. “Do you know how intoxicating you both smell? How incredible you taste? I could lick you for hours.”
Jude grunted out a few breaths as she worked their cocks with her hands. “You’re not the only one with a wolf that has needs. And you can only tease our beasts so long before they act.”
“Mine.”
“And you’re ours. Don’t underestimate our possessive qualities, either, darlin’.”
Ethan held back a chuckle as her grin openly challenged Jude’s claim. Damn he loved her spirit. How she trusted them not to abuse their strength. She stayed poised over Jude’s cock until the man growled. A hint of a smile lit her face before she dipped down, stretching her lips around Jude’s shaft as she slowly took him deep into her mouth.
Jude’s hand speared through the other side of her hair, his eyes drifting halfway closed. “Fuck. McKenna. I knew your mouth would be heaven.”
She hummed, and Jude cursed, his head lolling forward. Ethan watched her drive the other man to the brink before easing away, ignoring Jude’s irritated huff as she turned to him, nuzzling his shaft before snagging his gaze. Ethan massaged her scalp, his gaze pinned to hers as she licked his skin several times then took him to the back of her throat. The warm, wet slide of her tongue sent a rush of pleasure shooting down his spine, and he tightened his hold on her hair, needing her to finish what she’d started.
“Damn. Do you know what you’re doing to him?” Jude’s voice echoed through the room. “I know how he feels. How fucking hot each pass is. How badly he wants to shoot his seed down your throat. It’s only been a few minutes and already you’ve got him strung tight.” Jude leaned closer. “I can smell your need. How wet your pussy is. If you let go of my cock, I can soothe that raw ache inside you. Give you and your wolf what you need.”
McKenna’s rhythm faltered, her gaze darting to Jude. She seemed to weigh his offer before squeezing his shaft, then releasing it, moving her hand to rest on Ethan’s hip. The gentle press of her fingers against his skin made Ethan’s dick jump inside her mouth, the next pass nearly taking him over.
Jude shuffled over, grazing his fingers along her spine as he settled behind her, his hands palming her hips. Ethan grunted as the man winked at him, one finger tracing along her hips before disappearing between her legs. McKenna inhaled around his cock, and Ethan knew Jude was teasing her clit.
The man’s mouth lingered beside her ear. “That’s right, darlin’. Take him nice and deep. Now touch his sac. Gently, but firmly.”
Ethan hissed when she did as Jude had said, her small fingers cupping his balls. She rubbed her thumb across the surface, drawing a harsh groan from deep inside his chest. God, another few passes and he’d finish whether she was ready or not.
Jude chuckled. “See how tight his muscles are? You’ve got him on the brink. Slow your pace. Drag it out longer.”
“Fuck, buddy. Are you purposely trying to have her kill me?”
Jude glanced up at him. “You’re the one who always says that waiting makes the release bigger. Just following your lead.”
“Bastard. Don’t think I won’t remember this.”
The man winked again, obviously enjoying Ethan’s torment as McKenna varied her pace, taking him hard and fast then barely moving at all. He closed his eyes, squeezing them in an effort to stay in control, when her movements faltered again. He snapped them open, regretting the decision as soon as he took in the scene before him. McKenna still on her knees, Jude’s hand between her thighs as he moved behind her, slamming his groin against her ass. He had his other hand holding her hip, keeping her perfectly aligned as he claimed her sex, the wet sounds of his thrusts bouncing off the walls.
Jude stopped for a moment, his back arched as he pressed against her. “Finish him, darlin’. Take everything he has to offer. I want to see you make him come.”
She doubled her efforts, hollowing her cheeks, increasing the crushing pressure on Ethan’s dick. He fisted his hand in her hair, praying he wasn’t holding her too firm as his release pooled in his groin, purging what little breath he had from his lungs. He clenched his jaw, certain his damn teeth would crack, when she took him even deeper, her throat constricting around his shaft.
“Fuck, sweetheart. Can’t hold it off. If you don’t want this in your mouth…”
“Swallow it, McKenna. All of it.”
“Ah, shit, Jude.”
Ethan lowered his head, thrusting into her mouth as his orgasm claimed him, shooting his seed across her tongue. She swallowed around his pulsing shaft, every movement draining him more. He breathed through several contractions, finally bracing most of his weight against the wall as he focused on drawing air in, the simple act nearly impossible. McKenna hummed around his weakening erection, finally easing his cock free before dropping kisses on his skin. He went to his knees, cupping her face in his hands as he took her mouth, his tongue demanding entrance. She acquiesced, leaning into him as Jude pounded into her from behind, her body shimmying against Ethan with every thrust. Her breath panted across his face when he pulled back, watching her eyes glaze over with her impending climax.
“Give yourself to him. Let him feel you come around his cock.”
“Yes.” The word hissed free, her head tilting back as her body shook against him.
“Fuck, darlin’. Can’t…”
Jude grunted out the next few words, their meaning lost to the joint cries that filled the room. Ethan held her close, cushioning Jude’s jerky movements as the man emptied inside her, his body eventually curling over hers. McKenna leaned against Ethan, his hold on her keeping her from falling to the floor.
He brushed her sweat-dampened hair back, smiling at the contented look on her face. “I love watching you come. How your skin flushes a deep pink, and your nipples harden into tight peaks. I’m afraid we neglected them this go ‘round.”
She offered him a weak smile, frowning with Jude eased back. Ethan gathered her closer as her body shook, her gaze rising to his, only it wasn’t the woman staring back at him.
She tilted her head, her eyes narrowed as she seemed to study him. “Mine?”
He grazed his fingers along her jaw. “Always. Though if you need us to show you again…”
She gasped as he lifted her up, heading for the bed. Time to banish any doubts her wolf still had, and there was only one way to properly stake their claim.
Chapter Nine
McKenna held Ethan tight as he placed her on the bed, Jude climbing up beside her. Images and thoughts swirled in her head, the disjointed pictures too confusing to make sense of. One moment she’d been sitting with the boys on the bed, talking, the next she’d come back to her senses kneeling in front of them on the floor, their shafts wrapped in her fingers. She’d tried to pull herself away, but something deep inside her had claimed control, and she’d given in to her need to touch them. Taste them as they had her. Now she was lying on the bed, clinging to Ethan as if he were a lifeline.
Ethan smiled down at her, seemingly fine with the way her fingers bit into his skin. He glanced at Jude, nodding to the other man before caressing her cheek. “I know this is confusing, sweetheart, but you’ll just have to trust us. Emergence of your animal half can be very distressing. The fact we’re in the midst of mating with you for the first time…” He shook his head. “We don’t want you to lose complete control and run off on us. Put yourself in danger. Your wolf has more primal needs and once she no longer feels threatened, she’ll ease back. Give us time to talk you through this.”
His words slowly sank in, the full meaning hitting her hard.
She pulled her hands away, but he simply reached for them again, holding them tight to his chest. His strong grip calmed the panicky feeling suddenly hammering at her head, and she managed to drag in a quick breath.
She stared into his eyes, watching the brown color turn slightly gray, his wolf obviously close to the surface. “What do you mean, my wolf? I don’t have…”
She groaned as pain shot through her temples, blurring her vision. A growl resonated close by, but she wasn’t sure who had made the sound.
Ethan shifted both of her hands into one of his, the other threading through her hair, gently raising her head until their gazes clashed. His skin had a red tinge to it, his scent filling her senses. Jude’s aroma mixed in with Ethan’s when the other man returned to the bed, his hand landing on the small of her back. She glanced at him, nothing the hints of gray in his eyes.
“Easy. We’re both still here. Not going anywhere. We promise.”
Jude’s words soothed her, and the red haze faded, the tingling sensation below her skin gradually easing. He smiled at her obvious reaction, leaning a small flask against the headboard. She stared at it, not quite sure what he intended to do with it, when an image flashed in her head—the three of them entwined. Both of them claiming her at once.
A raw groan echoed in her mind, the tight feeling in her skin returning. It rippled down her limbs, settling in her groin as fire swept along her flesh. Her upper lip puffed outwards, her teeth aching with the need to feel their muscles scraping beneath her tongue. She levered forward onto all fours, crawling toward Ethan.
He chuckled as she pounced on him, taking them both to the bed, her thighs straddling his. One of his hands fell to her waist, cupping her hip as the other stayed locked in her hair, holding her head a few inches away from his. He inhaled, nostrils flaring as he hummed out his breath, his canines showing beneath his lip.
