CHAPTER14
JUNIPER
“This was a mistake.” I shove against his chest. His cock unknots from me and I almost cry out from the loss. What is wrong with me? I’ve had sex before and never had a tangle of emotions like this. Both longing and regret.
The sounds of someone climbing the tree sends panic swirling in my gut and I scramble to pull my pants back on and tuck my shirt down over my breasts.
Dex’s red hair pokes up from the bottom of the platform. When he winks at Aspen and gives me an appreciative glance, my whole body flames.
“Where’s Raven?” I swallow, my throat getting tight. Had he heard us too? Did he think I was a slut? Not that I should care what he thought of me— or what any of them did. They were merely here to escort and protect me on the way to the witches and my mother.
And having pleasure along the way is something I wouldn’t feel guilty about.
“He’ll come around.” Dex shrugs a shoulder, giving me a crooked grin.
I cross my legs from underneath me and finish the water Aspen had given me before we had sex.
For some reason, I keep thinking about how the sex was with Aspen.
How I felt like I was flying. How when I’m around him and Dex and even Raven, I feel safe... protected. Something I haven't felt since my dad died.
They’re nothing like any of the boys in my life. But I can’t help it. I’m drawn to all three of them.
How crazy is that?
Aspen is gazing at me with those dark blue eyes, and I realize that I’m breathing him in.
“What?” I ask, stepping back to put a little distance between us.
“You okay?”
I nod even though my heart is racing and the feel of him inside me lingers. His kiss, his touch still resonates with me. I cross my arms and heave out a breath.
“What’s up with Raven? Is he upset about having to go to witches?” Not too many wolves would be willing to see one witch much less a coven of them.
Dex grins and winks at me. “Nah, he’s just pissy about having to hear you get off without him.”
“Oh?” Heat burns my face and my breaths lodge in my throat. Are they both thinking of being with me? I lick my lips, trying to keep my face neutral.
“Yeah, of course,” Dex says huskily, giving Aspen a sideways glance before returning his attention back to me. “Totally understand his jealousy cause I’m going crazy that I haven’t gotten to taste you except our kiss in the shower.”
The heat in my face spreads down my chest. Two sexy wolves are interested in me? I must be dreaming. Or rather, they are only wanting to fuck and would any female in my place.
I have to keep guard my heart. But my pussy… she’s purring in my panties simply by their suggestiveness. And damn, but I just had sex with Aspen moments ago and I crave sex again. What's happening to me?
I mean, I can't be going into heat, neither of them are my fated mate.
They both stare at me unashamedly. Dex's gaze is so intense it makes me feel like he wants to take me right here, in front of Aspen. The intensity of having them both look at me like I'm a coveted piece of candy has liquid heat pooling low in my belly and I feel like have to say something.
"Yes? I mean whatever." I wave my hand in the air like I'm not turned on by both of them or I've forgotten the question. I tuck my hair behind my ear, their presence like their expecting me to strip in front of them rattles me into blurting out, "So have either of you found your fated mate?"
"Dex's never had a girl who didn't want to be with him. Never. Women can't resist the bad boy attitude." Aspen rakes a look over me, lingering on my mouth, then my breast and back up. "Though I'm more of an exhibitionist myself."
"Guess you and Aspen found your own entertainment," Dex says in a husky voice.
My cheeks grow hot, but Aspen wraps his arm around my shoulder and pulls me close for a hug before releasing me.
"Relax, Juniper. We're not hung up on sex or fated mate bullshit."
