Ani shook her head.

Was he trying to make fun of her?

She didn’t think so, but it wasn’t everyday a couple of hot men had mind-blowing sex with her then turned around and claimed to be Shifters. Pulse racing, she started doing the math in her head.

Yes, they were beyond sexy. Mayne and Brody were both her ideal of masculine physical perfection. Borderline hysterical, she started mumbling, ignoring the two men who were now giving her worried looks. Mayne moved to stand up, but she was quick to shake her head, warning him off.

“Ani?”

“Love?”

“Hang on a second,” she snapped. “Do you mind? I mean, I think I am allowed a little freak out session here. For fuck’s sake, Shifters? Like you two turn into bats or something?”

“Not bats—”

“Hush. I am trying to make sense of this. I mean, it’s too incredible. Or fantastical. Wait, is that a word?”

“Love, maybe if you—”

“Shhh. You two stop talking. It is not your turn. Just sit down and look pretty while I try to hash out this load of bat shit crazy you just dumped on me!”

A pair of identical snarls cut the air, and she sighed and shook her head. Rolling her eyes, she turned to face both of them with the sheet wrapped securely around her body. There was only one way to stop the flow of absolute BS. Ani narrowed her eyes, blue gaze flicking from one male to the other.

“Show me,” she demanded.

Chapter 7

Brody felt hisWolf press hard against his skin. His mate wanted to see him in all his furry glory, but the man knew better than to Wolf out without any regard for her human sensitivities. He heard the grunts and chuffs of Mayne’s Black Bear. His Omega’s beast was equally unrepentant about wanting to heed their mate’s wish.

“I don’t know if this is the right—”

“Ha! See, you guys are fucking with me! I knew it,” Ani seethed, and fuck if she didn’t look adorable doing it.

“What is it then? You two like cowboy gangsters or something? Why did that guy come in here guns blazing? Seriously. Considering you both were balls deep inside my body several times the past twelve hours, I think I have the right to know!” She stomped her feet, and fuck, if that didn’t make his cock hard.

Their mate was all curves and pale skin. She practically glowed last night under the light of the full moon on Moongate Island. Like fine porcelain. Hell. He’d almost been afraid to touch her. Soft, small, beautiful, fragile. But he was a Wolf, and she was his mate. Nothing would keep him away.

Sharing her with Mayne, his Omega and partner in their Triad, was as natural as breathing. The other male’s powers and traits were different from Brody’s Alpha tendencies. He balanced the Wolf. Kept him from allowing his natural dominance to take over his being.

Of course, Mayne and his Bear were not always successful in helping Brody to keep his Wolf in check. That’s where Ani would come in. Their feisty, sweet third already completed him in ways he’d never expected.

He’d never expected the flaxen-haired goddess to be so damn beguiling. Holding her, sinking into her effervescent heat was beyond any other physical experience he’s ever had.

Did he want her again?

Hell fucking yes.

Always would.

Anise Freeman was more potent than any drug or addictive behavior he’d ever seen or read about. One single night and he was hooked. He was a slave to her whims. Hellbent on making her happy, keeping her safe, and bringing her pleasure.

I feel the same. Mayne’s voice whispered into his head, and Brody knew the man was a hair’s breadth from shifting right there.

Fuck.

Shifting half-cocked was dangerous. They weren’t puppies or fuzzy bunnies to be petted, and yet, Brody knew without a doubt, neither animal would harm their mate.

Not ever.
