“Hey, now. None of that. You were doing great before Mason came and diverted your focus. I don’t blame you, baby girl. It’s difficult to concentrate on two things at once, let alone three. Besides, I got to watch you come all over another friend’s hand. Just know, next time is my turn. You don’t get to cum again until it’s on my fingers and tongue,” he says.

Well, damn. Looks like they all have a little bossy in them.“And here I thought you were the sweet one,” I muse aloud.

“Oh, trust me, Iam. You haven’t even brushed the tip of the dominating men iceberg with these two,” he jokes, or maybe it’s not a joke based on the gleam in Mason’s eyes and the stupid sexy smirk on Bennett’s face.

I shiver at the prospect of what the rest of that iceberg has in store for me, thankful that I have Riley to even out the alpha male vibes Mason and Bennett are throwing off. Mason kisses my shoulder as he pulls my pants back up and adjusts them for me.

He helps me up, but before he can pull me down to the couch, I run away calling, “Bathroom!” as I go.

Chapter 18

Riley

WefollowMia’ssuit,taking a much needed pee break. By the time I get out of the bathroom and back into the living room, everyone has already claimed their spots. Mason sits in the same spot he did last night, with Mia on his lap again, only this time, her feet are in Bennett’s lap. There’s no room for me. Humph. Fine. If I can’t have Mia in my lap, I’ll just sit in hers.

A golden glow covers my skin just before the shift takes over and my clothes fall to a pile on the floor. Mia looks down at where I was just standing confused until I hop out of my clothes and land in her lap. She squeals as my tiny paws dig into her legs.

“Oh my God! You’re adorable!” she cries as she scoops me up and holds me to her chest.Damn. I knew I should have done this sooner.

I burrow my furry head between her breasts and she giggles as she holds me so I don’t fall with all of my wiggling.

“You’re so cute and soft. I wanna hold you all night.”

I chuff a laugh.She can hold me all night in any form. I’m not picky as long as her hands are on me.

“Oh, now you’ve done it,” Bennett grumbles. “Now he’s gonna stay in his bunny form just so he can get all the cuddles.”

Mia laughs, but he’s a hundred percent right. I have a not so secret weapon now and I’m not afraid to use it. The only thing that sucks about being in my rabbit form is I can’t talk to her. But that’s okay. I’ll be able to tell her all the things I want to say when I shift back, eventually.

It’s so comfortable curled up in her lap with her petting me, I almost fall asleep. But then Mase quietly asks her the question I’ve been both dying to know and dreading to find out.

“How are you feeling about everything that’s happened, Little Bird? Because if you’re uncomfortable with anything we’ve done today-” Mason starts.

“No! Never. Today was perfect.” She sighs. “I just… I was in a bad place when Mike rejected me. I thought it was my fault. That there must be something wrong withmethat my own mate didn’t even want me. I convinced myself if I ever found another mate, they would feel the same way. It’s one reason I took this job. Not only do I mostly work alone, I live in the middle of the woods. I thought isolating myself would prevent me from ever finding another mate. I mean, what were the odds that my fated mate would just waltz into my forest, right?” She laughs bitterly.

“But after all this trouble I went through to avoid finding another mate, here I am. With three of the sweetest, most loyal men I know. And I was going to turn that down. Just walk away from so much potential happiness. All because I was afraid of getting hurt.”

“I hear a lot ofwasin there,” Bennett is quick to point out.

“Very astute of you, Benny Boo Bear,” she says, and I roll over howling in my head with laughter, my body only able to make huffing sounds instead of the uproarious laughter that’s echoing in my head.Benny fucking Boo Bear! Oh my God!

“What did you- Don’t call me that,” he growls as he shoots daggers at me for laughing at his expense.

“Awww. Why not?” Mia pouts adorably and if it were me, I’d give in. I don’t care how stupid the nickname is, it’d be worth it to see her happy.

Of course, Bennett isn’t quite the pushover I am, so he just glares at her.

“Can we get back to the important matter at hand, please? Mia, it sounded like you were about to tell us something before Bennett interrupted.” Mason successfully draws everyone’s attention back to where it should be.

“I don’t know… I may have changed my mind again…” She shrugs indolently.

“Don’t play with me, Little Bird. You know I’m not afraid to punish you.”

Her hands tighten in my fur, and she wiggles beneath me. “Maybe I want that,” she quips.

“Just say the word, love, and I’ll give you all the punishment you can handle. Along with all the pleasure,” he vows.

“Which word is that?” she teases.
