  Two days later, Tempest looked at Alex worriedly. “Maybe you should be in bed.”

  “Is that an invitation?” Alex teased.

  “Flirt,” she said with a smile and placed a second plate of pancakes, waffles, and steak and eggs in front of him. “Breakfast take two. Eat up so you can build back all that energy you burned.”

  His appetite had been insatiable for the last two days. Tempest learned very quickly that a healing wolf burned through carbs so quickly they could become emaciated with the healing process. She kept funneling food into him—lots of medium rare steaks and of course his love of sugary sweets was met with ice cream and cookies, and sometimes a combination of both. No matter how good he looked, she was still terrified at how close they came to losing him.

  “Quit looking like I’m in the grave, Tempest. I’m fine, really,” Alex said gently. He pulled her close and buried his face against her stomach. “I’m not going anywhere, not for a long time.”

  “Okay,” she whispered and took a deep breath. She tapped his shoulder lightly. “Now eat and get stronger. We’re going to need you at one hundred percent.”

  “So they arrive tonight and I’ve cleared the north pasture the best I could for the campers,” Dominic said as he walked through the front door and sat down. Tempest immediately put a plate in front of him. Since Alex was attacked they’d spoken to the Acadia pack leader. After some hesitation he agreed to bring his people to Cormina since they were already planning to travel there for the Halloween party in three days.

  “I still think we should leave them in Acadia,” Dominic said and sliced a piece of steak to go with his eggs.

  “There is no way you would get to them in time if the attack happened,” Alex pointed out. “This other pack is more vicious than normal. I had sensed that they were losing their humanity.”

  “Then why would they want to destroy the Acadia pack?” Tempest asked curiously.

  “It’s all males, honey. They want the men gone so they can keep the women for themselves,” Alex said. “Strengthen their lines, so to speak. Before they attacked, they pulled up in old beat up vans. They all looked to be related, snickered like hyenas, and called each other uncle and cousin. Some had some serious deformities. I think they’re inbreeding and this is their way of not dying out. Kill off the males and take over another pack.”

  Tempest grimaced. “Well, that is just sick.”

  “You’ve got to understand how packs worked way back. Maybe the leader thought he was keeping their blood line pure and it backfired,” Dominic said. “Either way, they are not taking over Acadia. But I’m going to keep a very close eye on you, Tempest. I’ve seen how Vernon looks at you. He covets what we have.”

  “No way, the creepy guy who took over Acadia?” Tempest laughed and then sobered up when both men looked at her silently. “Eww, do you really mean it?”

  “Honey, Acadia never leaves pack grounds but he agreed to bring them to a party here, just for shit and giggles?” Alex raised an eyebrow at her. “Plus, I’ve heard them talk while I train them. He thinks you’re with both of us because neither of us is man enough for you.”

  “Well, that’s just gross.” Her stomach rolled. “Doesn’t he have a mate?”

  Dominic shook his head. “He beds whom he chooses at Acadia. He has fathered no children because he doesn’t think any of the women are worthy of his seed. But Jack’s two daughters are his favorites.”

  “And they let him touch them like that? Ew.” Tempest shuddered. “The Acadia pack is caught between a rock and hard place it seems.”

  “If he ever thinks about touching you, I will kill him.” Alex said it so mildly she almost thought it was a joke until she saw his eyes change to the wolf for a brief second.

  Dominic glanced at Alex and nodded. The simple movement of agreement was subtle but spoke volumes. Alex was always the voice of reason and sometimes she forgot his caring and sweet nature hid a beast beneath the surface. He may have been injured, but she heard him and Dominic talking when they thought she was downstairs or busy somewhere else in the plantation house. He did more damage to them than they did to him, that was certain.

  “Well, you don’t have to worry. I don’t want anyone but you two,” she said with stubborn assurance.

  “Sometimes people covet someone so much they will take a mate by force,” Dominic said. “And if he does, we’ll rip him apart.”

  “Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that,” Tempest murmured.

  Alex stood and put his empty plate in the sink and turned with a devilish grin on his face. “We have a few hours, and I’m feeling fit as a fiddle.”

  “Meaning?” Tempest felt the familiar sensation of desire fill her.

  “My welcome home was suspended because of my injuries. I’m all better, but I could still use some Tempest tender loving care,” Alex replied. “Couldn’t you, Dominic?”

  “In front of the fire place with a roaring fire to help take away our baby’s chill,” Dominic growled. “I see the goose pimples on your arm, sweetheart. You’re cold.” He stood and she could see the imprint of his arousal clearly through his pants.

  Tempest would never refuse her wolves, especially when her need was now kicked into high gear. “You guys get the fire started…”

  “It already is,” Alex teased.

  She gave a sexy laugh. “You know what I mean. I’ll be back in ten minutes.”

  “You’d better or the big bad wolves will come and find you.” Dominic grinned and she wondered how a game of hide and seek would end with them? She made a mental note to put that on their to-do list. She hurried to the master bathroom to freshen up. The past few days were wrought with worry and fear; they could find peace in each others’ arms. If only for a little while, they’d leave their problems at the door.

  Chapter Three

  Ten minutes later, true to her word, she made her way down the stairs. Tempest took a shower with her favorite soap and shaved. She liked her pussy bare of hair and they did too. She was so smooth she could feel her own juice cause a gentle friction as she went to them. Her wolves deserved a little exotic romance and since she’d been living with them, Tempest bought a few things online. Tonight was the perfect time to try out one of her costumes and when she stepped into the doorway leading to the living room, she saw their eyes widen and arousal was plainly written on their faces. Her sexy genie costume got the effect that she wanted and she laughed, delighted at their reaction. Playing her role to the fullest, Tempest folded her arms across her chest.

  “What is your wish, Masters?” Tempest asked in a sultry voice.

  Alex chuckled. “I don’t think my mind is working very well. I can’t keep my eyes off you. I can see your nipples through that pink gauzy stuff.”

  “This puts I Dream of Genie in a whole new light,” Dominic murmured. She watched him press the hard bulge in his pants as if to assuage the ache.

  Tempest continued to play the role. “What would you like?”

  “Call me daddy,” Dominic growled.

  “Your wish is my command. Daddy.” She looked at Alex. “And you?”

  “I want you here on your knees so I can suck on your nipples through that candy colored material,” Alex said softly.

  She did as he asked and knelt on the floor between his legs. Tempest tilted her head back so that he would have easy access to her aroused nipples. When he enclosed one in his hot mouth she gave a soft cry.

  “Take my cock in your hand and stroke it,” Dominic said as he slipped quickly out of his jeans.

  He knelt beside her and she instantly wrapped her fingers around his thick shaft. He groaned as she used long, smooth movements of her hands to please him.

  “I don’t even have to undress,” she said. The costume was made especially for this. Each pant leg consisted of strips of material that were draped together to form one pant leg that cuffed at the ankle. But when you slipped your hand between you felt skin, especially at the apex
of her thighs. There, her mates would find her warm, wet and waiting. Tempest lay back on the carpet and spread her legs so they both could see her naked pussy through the slits of soft pink fabric. “All smooth for both of you.”

  “Damn,” Alex muttered.

  He took the clip from her hair and combed his fingers through it. Alex fisted his hand and pulled her to him for a kiss that seared her to her toes. It was such a complete kiss that under the onslaught she could have stayed like that for hours. But Dominic wanted his turn too and when Alex stopped feasting on her lips, her second mate took his fill as well.

  “You are too fucking beautiful,” Dominic said huskily. “That night you came through our door all soaked from the rain was the luckiest night of our lives.”

  “My mates, there is no one else that could compare to the two of you. I love you both so much it hurts at times,” Tempest admitted.

  “We’re going to make you come, Tempest.” Alex ran his thumb over her nipples. With the friction of the material, the sensation was heightened.

  She moaned into Alex’s mouth when she felt Dominic kiss the inside of her thighs before he ran his finger down the slit of her pussy. Tempest lifted her hips wantonly, seeking more of what he offered her. Alex’s tongue slipped in and lazily tasted her mouth while his big warm hands massaged her breasts. Dominic gave a growl and she could feel his breath so close to her sex that it made her writhe with need. She needed him to taste her, ached to feel his mouth on her.

  A slow lick of Dominic’s tongue across her pussy and up to circle the nub of her clit made her shudder and when he finally gave in and slipped his tongue inside her, she gave a cry. Alex, who was kissing her with a wildness that was unusual for him, swallowed her cry. He was the tender lover, the one who took her to the heights of passion with patient ease. But now she could sense a primal force in both of them and she trembled in anticipation for what was to come.

  Dominic slipped a lone digit inside her while his teeth grazed her clit. Alex still refused to take her top off and went back to doing delicious things to her breasts through the fabric. Dominic gave a low growl and pushed her legs apart as he fucked her with his finger with smooth, easy strokes while he feasted and laved at her sex. He spread her knees even further and buried his face between her legs. He was having no trouble at all finding the exact spot that would make her come.

  The months they were together both men had become experts in making her body sing with pleasure. His tongue licked at the sensitive nub over and over again, becoming faster each time. She heard his growl and he increased the speed of insertion of his fingers as if a primal need took over. She felt her orgasm take hold, tightening the muscles of her pussy around his fingers and it wrenched a cry from her lips. Alex bit her nipple between his teeth and pulled at it gently before soothing it with his tongue. The combination sent her over the edge with a long keening cry. Dominic pumped his fingers inside her faster and before her first release was over a second came over her in a wave of heat. Tempest felt the warm gush of juice from her release and Dominic gave a soft laugh of approval.

  “Let’s change positions,” Alex said. “I’ve missed her taste.”

  “Plenty for the both of us,” Dominic answered and moved from between her legs.

  “I need…to feel… both of you inside me,” she said between panting breaths. “I want to taste you, I want to be fucked by you, I want all of it all at once. You two make me so crazy.”

  She scrambled to her knees and took Alex’s cock in her hands. He arched backward when Tempest wrapped her lips around his shaft and he braced his hands in the carpet. The action of him arching sent his cock deep in her mouth. While she loved him with her lips, Tempest stroked Dominic’s cock in her hand and he moaned his pleasure. He closed his eyes and his hips flexed as he pushed himself between her grasp. The salty taste of Alex’s pre-come was on her tongue. “Oh, fuck.” The words were like a hiss from between his teeth. She cupped his balls and squeezed them gently before she left his damp erect rod and turned to Dominic’s. She stroked him as she sucked on his thick member and Alex reached between her legs to fondle her wet pussy before sliding two fingers inside her.

  She loved the sound of their primitive moans and their cries blended with hers like a sexual symphony as Alex brought her to another pinnacle with his touch. Using her lips and tongue, she showed them exactly what kind of feeling they elicited in her. Dominic pulled her up by the shoulders and kissed her until her head began to swim. In a purely primal move it was Alex who flipped her onto her back, pulled her legs over his shoulder and thrust into her deeply.

  “Damn, you’re so wet.” Alex gritted his teeth above her and his pleasure was written all over his face.

  “Oh, Alex, yes,” she cried out as he thrust into her deeply. He drew away and thrust into her again and again.

  “Suck on my breasts,” Tempest begged. “Please, please, please.”

  Dominic was the one who answered her plea. Alex moved her legs around his waist and grabbed her hips to pull her into his thrusts. Dominic sucked on her breasts ravenously and that combined with the steady deep thrusts of Alex sent her spiraling to new heights of passion. He pumped into her faster and soon his groans of ecstasy could be heard. Dominic slid his hand down her torso to her pussy and rubbed her clit while Alex fucked her with wild abandon.

  “Oh, God, yes, I’m going to come!” Tempest cried out and bucked as her body was caught up in the storm of passion.

  The words were barely out of her mouth before the sensations flooded across her body and she screamed. She heard Alex’s low cry and his movements sped up until he arched and she felt his come fill her.

  “I think I just died from happiness,” Tempest’s voice held drowsy contentment.

  Dominic kissed her long and hard. “No, sweetness, not quite.”

  His kiss stirred sensations deep inside her and the fire she thought had been doused with contentment burst to life again. He helped her to her knees and her forearms pressed into the carpet. Her ass was high in the air and she felt him rub his cock along the slit of her pussy until she was moaning his name.

  “Take me, take me now,” she begged.

  “I can smell your sex and Alex’s come. It’s all blended together and now I’ll add mine.” He bent over her so he could whisper in her ear. “We are always together inside you, mixed with your cream. One day you’ll be pregnant and one of us will be the father. Knowing that you accept both of us is more erotic than you know.”

  While he spoke she felt him using the wetness from their fluids to circle her tiny asshole with his finger. He slipped it inside halfway and she whimpered. Tempest pushed back against his finger and he let her until his finger was buried all the way. Dominic made a sound of need in the back of his throat as he replaced his finger with his cock. He began to thrust and she was lost from the moment he began. A fierce need rocketed through her body until she was moaning wantonly into the carpet. He was wild in his taking of her, like the animal in him could relish the pleasure as well. He gripped her hips and pounded into her, taking her body with primal force until they were both calling out in their gratification and it echoed off the walls of the room.

  “Damn, come for me. Come for me, Tempest.” His voice was close to her ear, insistent and urgent.

  Tempest closed her eyes and let her release overtake her. She felt Dominic follow suit and spill his seed deep inside her. They collapsed in bliss and Alex was so close that her head landed on muscular torso instead of carpet. They sighed almost simultaneously and then laughed together.

  “I want to ask a question,” she said suddenly. Something that Dominic had said in the throes of passion stuck in her mind.

  “Ask us anything, darling.” Alex yawned. “Do we have cake?”

  Tempest laughed. “There’s cake in the fridge, but that will have to wait until after my question. Dominic said something about children. I mean, I know my cycle pretty well and so far we’ve been lucky because I chart my ovulation
, but what if I get pregnant? How does that affect our dynamic? Either one of you could be the father. Will that cause friction? Should I go on birth control?”

  Alex cupped her cheek. “Do you want to?”

  “No, my mom put me on it when I was seventeen to regulate my cycle and it made me ill. Since I was celibate before you came into my life, I never had to,” Tempest hesitated. “I don’t know, actually, if or when I want kids.”

  “Honey, if you got pregnant we’d love you and the baby no matter what,” Dominic answered. “Honestly, neither one of us would be jealous because we both would be playing a paternal role in his or her life. There would be no jealously—”

  “Because we love you and we love each other. The bond we all share would be stronger if or when that time came,” Alex added. “See, we even finish each other’s thoughts.”

  Tempest nodded. “How about I keep doing what I’m doing until we’re ready for kids? I just wanted to know how it would work.”

  “It would work because we work, darling Tempest,” Dominic said. He kissed her lightly before getting off the carpet. “Now, let’s have a shower and then cake.”

  She held out her hands and he lifted her up easily. “If I ate like you two I’d be the size of a house.”

  “And we’d love you still.” Alex got up and smacked a kiss on her mouth.
