Page 12 of Kidnapping Their Third

When he moved off the bed, she thought he might be going to take his sentry position again, but instead, he stood next to the bed and lifted the covers, bunching them next to her before laying back down.

Settling on his side, he tugged at the comforter. “Can move.”

“Thanks, Kimble,” she said, rolling on her side to face him. She was forced to wiggle backwards, coming up against Pike’s warm bulk. The shifter didn’t move or change his quiet, rhythmic snoring during any of their conversation or movement. “You’d think Pike would be a lighter sleeper.”

Kimble snorted, making Cora stifle a laugh. Looking up at the shaggy mass in desperate need of a haircut, she got the overwhelming urge to touch it.

Running her fingers through the long strands, she was mildly surprised to find it was clean and almost free of knots. She couldn’t see Kimble taking care of it, so Pike must make sure the vampire remained well groomed.

“Good,” Kimble purred. Going still, she moved her gaze to his face to find his eyes half closed, mouth slightly parted, and cheeks flushed. Continuing to watch his expression, she went back to running her fingers through his hair.

He moaned.

The way he was acting, someone would think her hand was between his legs, not on his head. His reaction was so over the top, she kept petting him until her arm was fatigued. When she withdrew, Kimble’s eyes fluttered open. He looked half dazed with pleasure.

“Good,” he repeated and leaned in close. She thought he was going to kiss her on the forehead again, but instead he brushed his lips across her. The touch was light and obviously a question, not a demand. Giving into curiosity, she opened her mouth to him.

By their second date, she and Pike had started making out like horny teenagers. She’d never felt so insanely and instantly attracted to anyone in her life. She certainly never expected anyone else’s kiss to arouse her as much as Pike’s had.

She was wrong.

Now it was her turn to moan. Kimble was an excellent kisser and while Pike had been eager and a little rough in a good way, the vampire was slow and sensual. Kimble and Pike couldn’t be more different, but they turned her on equally well.

Just like when she’d kissed Pike, heat pooled in her belly and her clit throbbed. Her body started to feel too hot, so she pushed the covers off. She and Pike had probably been heading toward the bedroom by the end of their second date, but everything had gone to hell before that could happen.

Now she considered stripping naked and waking up Pike so the three of them could have some fun. This would be her first ménage à trois, and her partners weren’t even human, but at the moment she couldn’t think of anything she wanted more.

Images of getting to play with two dicks filled her head. Two sets of hands stroking her body. Two mouths on her skin. It was much too irresistible. She wanted it all.

Kimble ended the kiss. When she opened her eyes, it was to find him watching her closely, his expression cautious. “Good?”

“Fucking fantastic,” she breathed.

A brilliant smile spread across Kimble’s face. “More.”

Ready for more kissing, Cora tilted her head up, except Kimble sat up. Confused, she watched him reach over her to shake Pike.

“Wake,” Kimble said.

Ah,moremeant adding Pike to their make-out session.

Pike didn’t move. Kimble tried again, putting enough strength into the shake that the entire bed jostled. To Cora’s surprise, Pike didn’t even come half-awake to grumble at him. The man remained a motionless lump except for his soft snoring.

“No good,” Kimble mumbled with a little smile as he settled back down next to Cora. “Very sleep.”

“And here I thought you were the one who was supposed to sleep like the dead,” Cora commented as she snuggled against Kimble. She pressed her face close to his, seeking more kisses, but he denied her. Tucking her head under his chin, he held her close and rubbed a hand up and down her back.

“Flock sleep.” His words sounded like an order. “Wake together. Enjoy together. Sleep together. Nothing apart.”

Pike’s inability to wake up just caused Cora to lose out on amazing sex. Part of Cora wanted to be insulted that Kimble hadn’t continued to make out with her, but the other part admired him. He wanted them to be together in all things. No one was going to be left out, even if she was sure Pike wouldn’t be upset.

Was this what it meant to be in a flock?

She thought about it as she drifted off to sleep with Pike’s solid body pressed against her back and Kimble’s arms holding her.
