Vik claimed me with his lips before turning my face to kiss Eli. I was soaked at the thought of them sharing me. I wondered if they’d been intimate with each other before. There were so many things I didn’t know. It should have stopped me, but instead, that feeling urged me to continue finding out. Eli pulled my shirt over my head, kissing my shoulders and down my back while Vik concentrated on my neck and collarbone. I shivered with anticipation before I decided that I needed to touch them as well.

Eli was on his knees behind me, so I focused on Vik first. His lips returned to mine, and I started unbuttoning his shirt. It was taking too long—I wanted him naked—so I grabbed it and tore the remaining buttons, shredding his shirt in the process. He and Eli both laughed at the growl that escaped my lips at the sight of his chiseled chest. I wanted to lick every inch of him. I ran my hands over his bare skin while teasing him with slow kisses. Once he moaned his pleasure, I turned my back to him so I could start stripping Eli.

I grabbed his t-shirt and pulled it over his head. It was easier than tearing it in half with him still on his knees. His chest was every bit as cut as Vik’s, but Eli was more tanned. I wondered how a vampire managed to get a tan. Then I dismissed the thought because there were more pressing issues at hand. Vik was grinding on my ass while I stared at Eli. He winked at me, then started trailing kisses just below my bra down to my waistband. I was pinned in place between Eli’s tongue and Vik’s erection. Eli unfastened my jeans and pulled them off me while Vik lifted me to make it easier. I had expected their skin to be cold, yet heat radiated between the three of us.

I was nearly exposed; the material of the bra and thong I’d selected barely covered me. Eli’s breath on my stomach and Vik’s lips on my neck resulted in goosebumps spreading across my naked skin. I tangled my fingers in Eli’s hair while my free hand tried desperately to get between my body and Vik’s. I ended up gripping his pant leg while they focused on me. I had never felt so desired before. Vik held me up while Eli kissed me lower and lower until he was at my apex. Even with the thong, I was wet and ready. I growled in anticipation.

Just as I was about to climax, Eli released me. Vik flipped me around and kissed me again, distracting me from Eli’s absence. I moaned in pleasure as our tongues tangled while his hand fisted in my hair. I barely noticed him tearing my thong and bra to remove them. My back warmed again as Eli reappeared behind me. I turned my head and claimed his lips. My hands greedily searched for their cocks. I wanted to show them what they were doing to me. I found both of them completely naked and ready.

I started stroking them, not realizing that they completely stopped everything. “What’s wrong?” I asked, freezing in place, a dick in each hand. I looked frantically from Vik to Eli and back again. They seemed to be waiting for something or having a telepathic conversation.

“Is this what you want?” Eli spoke softly, forcing me to look at him.

“We’re not going to make you do anything that you don’t choose to do.” Vik’s voice was gruff with need, but he spoke as softly as Eli had.

“Seriously? You think I’d say no to either of you right now?” I gripped them tighter, pulling them both toward me until their faces were mere inches from mine. “You both want me, right?”

Both men nodded without a sound. It was as if they were terrified of scaring me off. I found it hot and annoying.

“Then I guess you’d better convince me to give you both a chance. I suggest you start by giving me as many orgasms as possible.” My words sounded strange to my ears but somehow made me feel freer than I had in a while. I closed the distance between my mouth and Vik’s, nipping at his bottom lip before I turned to Eli and crushed my mouth to his.

Eli stroked my clit while Vik lubed himself and my ass, then slipped a finger into me. I couldn’t believe how hot I thought the whole situation was. I wondered for a moment if I’d been okay with anal before. Did the three of us do this in the past? I’d have to make sure I asked later. I lost that train of thought when Eli held me up while Vik slid inside. Then Eli rubbed his tip against my clit before slipping inside. The pressure from having them both in me at the same time was intense. They fell into a rhythm that had my knees so weak that they had to hold me up.

I could tell that they were both holding back. Neither wanted to get rough with me. It was sweet but so frustrating. Even with the slow pace, I felt like I was being stretched to my limits in the best way. With each orgasm, Vik and Eli tensed. Every time I thought they’d be over the edge, they surprised me. I lost count of how many times I came. By the end, I was begging them to finish with me. “Come with me. I want to feel you both at the same time.” Vik growled and Eli moaned. The three of us somehow managed to reach our peaks together. I was sated but still felt like something was missing. Declan.

I wondered if I would be able to convince all three men that I needed them. Eli insisted that I shower alone so we could make it to dinner on time. Vik seemed pissed but didn’t argue. I suspected that Eli wanted to talk to him alone before meeting Declan for dinner. I knew that soon they would all press me for a decision that I wasn’t ready to make. I stepped into the shower as doubt shadowed me. Had I just made the biggest mistake of my life?

Chapter 18

Declan

The last thing I wanted to do was hobnob with the dicks who’d been blowing me off for months. I wanted to be out looking for Delilah. I couldn't focus on anything since she disappeared. I’d been interested in an alliance with Maxwell and Strain when I took over the zone. I knew that I couldn’t retain control without solid allies. Maintaining power was essential. Earning respect was vital. Without both, I wouldn’t stand a chance of running this zone.

Now that Delilah was missing, I didn’t care what happened to my company or myself, for that matter. I knew that if I skipped this dinner, I would regret it. There was nothing left to do but shower and prepare. I needed to read the files I had on each of them again before leaving for the restaurant.

What I wanted was to find Delilah and claim her, like I should have done already. I was trying to keep myself in control because of her amnesia. I was scared to move too quickly in case she already had someone. But the more time I spent with her, the more I wanted to make promises to her, promises that I’d never given to anyone before. In the past, I’d kept myself distanced from any chance of falling in love. Somehow Delilah had changed that. I didn’t even realize when things changed. I couldn't hide my feelings anymore. I was determined to find her and tell her exactly how I felt and what I wanted to do to her. Thinking about her was dangerous for many reasons, mainly because I was alone and horny.

I climbed into the shower, standing in the scalding water. I was terrified that something had happened to Delilah, and it froze me to the bone. Thinking about her was enough to thaw me, though. I found myself adjusting the water and stroking myself. The smell of my soap set me off because she had insisted on using it instead of getting her own. There was something about her wanting to smell like me that turned me on. I soaped up and continued to run my hand up and down my shaft, wishing it was my girl taking care of me instead. I wanted her on her knees with my cock in her mouth. That fantasy was enough to finish me. I continued to think about her lush lips wrapped around my dick and I started to get hard again. I didn’t have time to indulge again. I pushed the thought away and cleaned up. I needed to get ready for this meeting.

I had no idea what they wanted. I didn’t like going into a meeting blind. I preferred to know exactly what my counterpart wanted and have my negotiation strategy in place. If you knew what the other side wanted, it was easier to steer them toward your own goal. I wondered if they would be able to help me search for Delilah. Would it even be worth asking? It didn’t matter. I would hear them out, and then I would ask for help. I didn’t care if they refused; at least I would know that I’d tried everything to find her.

Kayden’s words kept echoing in my mind. He meant what he’d said. He wasn’t on my side anymore and wouldn’t protect Delilah from the hunters. My best friend had turned into my worst enemy. The hunters had the resources to find Delilah before I could. The punishment for an unsanctioned change was severe but typically fell on the vamp responsible, not the person who got turned. I had to do everything in my power to find her first.

I threw on a button-up shirt and jeans. Starlight was a high-class place, but I still wasn’t wearing a suit. I had to dress nicely enough that they would let me in, though. I considered my pitch for creating an alliance as I drove to the restaurant. But what did they want from me? I wracked my brain to figure out what either of them could want from me. I came up empty-handed every time. Yeah, people came from across the country to purchase my hand-sculpted wood furniture, but these guys didn’t seem the type to care about that.

I walked into Starlight with purpose. “May I help you, sir?” The hostess was a cute petite blond who might have been in her twenties. She was pretty but didn’t compare with Delilah.

“I’m here to meet with Mr. Maxwell and Mr. Strain. I was told there was a reservation.” I wasn’t sure if she believed me or not from the look that she gave me. After picking up the phone on the hostess stand and having a hushed conversation, she hung up and walked over to me.

“Right this way, Mr. Roarke. I’m sorry for the delay in seating you. Your party is waiting.” She gestured for me to follow her, then led me to the back of the restaurant, to a private event area. This must be big if they want to ensure we can’t be overheard. “Just through there, sir.” She opened the door and motioned for me to enter. I nodded my thanks at her and walked through the door before she closed it behind me. The room was dark, with only candlelight. There was a small table on the far side of the room, with three figures seated.

“Declan!” Delilah’s squeal caught me off guard as much as her racing across the room to jump into my arms.

“Mo chroí! Are you okay? I’ve been looking everywhere for you.” I pulled her into a tight hug, not giving her a chance to respond. She hugged me back as tightly, and all my stress melted away.

“I’m fine. There was a problem, but Vik and Eli took care of me. As soon as I was able to ask for you, they called and arranged this dinner. And just look at this dress!” She stepped back and twirled, showing off the slinky black dress.

“You look amazing. I’m so relieved that you’re not hurt. What kind of problem did you run into? Was it at the club?” I wanted answers, but Delilah shook her head and pulled me over to the table.
