“Rowan picked up your fear right away when he walked into the apartment. We immediately started to follow your scent around the city until we got to you.”

“I remember after I c-cut Payne, his men went crazy. It was like they didn’t know what to do, but then I saw you guys, and I remember collapsing to the ground because my legs couldn’t hold me any longer. I knew you’d take care of me.”

Ben pressed his lips to the back of her head. “Oh, Pet, there is nothing we wouldn’t have done to get you back. I think I can speak for my brother when I say we’re both horrified that he was able to get his hands on you and get one of the pack to help him.”

“Noelle told me they had fucked several times, so she’s known him for a while. I can’t believe he just shot her like it was nothing. How can anyone think like that?”

They dried her off with a towel and set her on the counter to take care of her hair. It felt good having their hands on her again.

“We’ll never know, Sweetheart,” Rowan said. “I thinksome people are so tortured that they become one, but I know some are born that way, and Payne was one of those. He enjoyed hurting people. Nothing was going to change him.”

Ben looked at Rowan. “That reminds me. We need to call our guy in the police department and tell him about Payne’s death.”

“Oh, God, do they have to know I was the one that killed him?” Just the thought of going to jail made her stomach churn.

Ben shook his head. “No. We’ll just inform them he’s dead and where to find the body. Our contact will make sure they don’t put a lot of work intofinding out who did it. They’ll just be glad the man is dead.”

Rowan finished drying her hair before he picked her up. “I don’t know about you guys, but I need some time to just be with you.”

She nodded. “Me, too.”

The three fell into bed and wrapped themselves around her. They held her so tightly that it would have smothered her under regular circumstances, but they all needed the closeness more than ever.

Jenna found herself needing them even though she was exhausted. She knew she would never be able to sleep as wound up as she was.

“Guys, I need you to fuck me.”

She was facing Rowan, saw the light in his eyes brighten, and heard Ben moan behind her.

Ben jerked her to lie on her back between them. “We need it too, Pet, but I have to warn you that the way we feel, the fear and hostility still filling us, it’s going to be hard to hold back.”

“We need you so much that we’ll take you fast and hard, but you have to promise you’ll tell us if you are in any pain,” Rowan said.

She shook her head. “I don’t care. I need you both insideof me now, or I feel like I’ll break into pieces.”

Without another word, Ben pulled her onto his chest and started kissing her with a desperation that matched her own. She was already wild and begging from just the kiss.

Rowan sat behind them and started to finger-fuck her cunt to get her ready to take Ben.

“Fuck, she’s already swollen and sopping wet.”

“Good,” Ben growled and lifted her a bit. “Line my cock up to her cunt.”

Rowan did what he asked and then sat back and waited for his brother to penetrate her.

She knew why he waited, but she needed him immediately, too.

“Rowan…”

“I know. Give us a second,” Rowan said.

She screamed when Ben yanked her down at the same time he lifted his hips, impaling her on his cock and driving it as deep as he could. It was the most wonderful feeling.

Ben thrust a few times and then stopped.

“Wait. Don’t stop…”

“Do you want Rowan in your ass, Pet?”
