Bram snapped his teeth at Shane but winked. Then he looked down at her and glowered. “You are my mate. You were before, and you are now. We didn’t bond before because we didn’t have Shane. It’s as simple as that. And if you keep looking at me like you think you aren’t good enough because of where you came from, I’m going to be fucking angry. You get me? So stop doing this bullshit, and let me fucking kiss you. Then let me fuck you. And then let me bite you.” He paused. “You know what, fuck that. I’m going to kiss you. Then I’m going to fuck you. Then I’m going to bite you. You don’t need to let me because I’m going to take it. I’m done waiting for you, being the patient best friend who had to watch you die a little more inside until Shane showed up. I’m taking what’s mine. Taking you.” He looked over her head. “And I’m taking Shane.”
She swallowed hard, her body so rigid she could barely breathe. She didn’t know what to say, so she just said what was on her mind. “I think I almost came from those words alone. So, yeah, take me. Take us. I’m ready, and you’re not going to find anyone unwilling here.”
Shane cleared his throat. “Well if I had any reservations before this, they are sure as hell gone now. Fuck, Bram. You need to speak like that all the time.” He stopped, and she looked up at him over her shoulder. “Wait, not all the time. Just with me and Charlotte because I sure as hell don’t want anyone else hearing that. It’s just for us.”
Charlotte smiled then, a smile she hadn’t given anyone in a long time. “Just for us.”
Bram licked his lips, a wicked gleam in his eyes. “Good.” He looked up at Shane. “You know how mating works, right?”
Charlotte turned in their arms so she could see them both. Their hands were still all over each other, but now she didn’t have to crane her neck.
“You explained about sex and the mating mark. But with three people, I’m not sure how that will work.”
“There needs to be…penetration with all of us somehow,” Bram continued, and Charlotte rolled her eyes. This was not the time to be scared of the big words. And the fact that she was the one thinking that just told her how on edge these two made her.
“Both of you will need to come inside me,” she explained. “Maybe not at the same time since I’m not sure I’m exactly ready for that.”
Shane’s eyes widened. “So later, then?”
She let out a breath. “What is it with guys and anal?”
Bram chuckled. “Well, as I’m going to also fuck Shane, I’d say we like anal just fine.”
Shane barked out a laugh. “Oh yeah? What if I want to be the one that fucks you?”
Yep, Charlotte was going to pass out from pleasure tonight. She was sure of it.
“We’ll take turns,” Bram said with a grin. “If you can take me that is.”
Charlotte’s knees gave out, and Bram quickly swept her into his arms. “Did I just swoon?”
Shane looked down at her, a wide and cocky grin on his face. “Hell yeah, you did. I do believe our little wolf likes the idea of you and me tangling, Bram. What do you think?”
Bram led her to the bedroom with Shane at his side. “I think we are two lucky ass wolves. And as for the mating bond, as long as the three of us somehow all make it work, the bond should form. I know I sound clinical right now, but bear with me. The only other triad I know has a wolf, a witch, and a partial demon. Not three wolves, one of which was formed just a little differently.”
Charlotte wiggled, and Bram set her down on her feet at the foot of the bed. “You talked to my aunt and uncles?” She didn’t know why, but after all of that, she finally blushed.
Bram shrugged. “I wanted to make sure we didn’t miss anything this time. I’ll be damned if the bond doesn’t take because we missed something.”
“So you’re saying we need to try all the positions,” Shane said with a laugh. “Well, it’s a good thing Walker mentioned a shifter’s stamina then.”
Both Charlotte and Bram growled, and Shane held up his hands. “What?”
“Why were you talking to Walker about sex?” Bram asked.
“I asked what other things came with being a wolf. He was being clinical. Not you. Just breathe, okay? You’re the only two for me.”
Charlotte relaxed, surprised at the jealousy that had coursed through her.
Bram’s body also lost some of its tension behind her. “Good. Now that we’ve talked this to death, how about we get back to where we started? Because it’s going to be a fantastically long night, and I can’t wait to have you.”
Though her body had cooled somewhat when they’d been talking, the look in Bram’s eyes brought her right back.
“Just make love to me,” she said finally. “We’ll make it work.”
They had to.
The men shared a look, then they moved.
Bram was at her front, cupping her face with his hands and kissing her like there was no tomorrow. She breathed in the scent of him, her wolf pushing at her, needing her mates. Shane was at her back and slowly slid his hands down her sides to cup her ass before kneeling behind her. She gasped as he pulled her leggings down in one movement. When he tugged, she helped him take them fully off and could barely think before Bram pulled her top over her head. That left her naked in front of her two men, and with the looks they were giving her, she knew she’d never felt as cherished and sexy as she did right then.
Shane went back to his knees and started massaging her butt, leaving trails of kisses before spreading her and licking up her cunt. She bent forward slightly, her body humming as he flicked his tongue over her clit before feasting. Bram had moved to cup her breasts, taking one nipple in his mouth and using his fingers to pluck at the other one.
There were so many hands, so much sensation; she couldn’t focus on both of them.
