He’d finally made his move on Zack. Both times, the man had come hard. Now nothing should have stood in their way when it came to claiming Kelly for their own. Unless Zack had changed his mind about sharing her? Ace’s beast rose in anger. Had Zack pretended to agree to share her in an attempt to lower Ace’s guard?
If so, Ace had foolishly compromised himself. He’d acted on the burgeoning feelings for his best friend, when he should have kept that part of himself secret. He’d never opened up to anyone before. Why had he thought now might be the time to try it?
A knock on the door shook him from his thoughts. He opened it to find Zack standing on the threshold. His hair was wet, and droplets slid down his firm, bare chest, snaking under the band of his shorts. Immediately, Ace’s anger receded. The beast within purred its acceptance, wanting his mate closer. Ace forced himself to shake free of his stupid desire. He didn’t read appreciation on Zack’s face. The man remained expressionless.
“What?” he asked more harshly than he’d intended. Zack didn’t flinch.
“Kelly’s going through her change right now. Let’s keep this calm and together, for her,” he emphasized, as if Ace wasn’t worth the trouble. “I’m not going to fight you. And you’re not going to fight me,” Zack said quietly, steel reinforcing his words. He shifted into his beast in seconds, ripping through his shorts with his claws when he could have easily slid them off.
Not as in control as you’d like to be. Ace found Zack’s lack of restraint comforting. So much for the stoic warrior making demands. Zack English wanted Kelly. And if Ace wasn’t mistaken, the gleam in Zack’s gaze as it ran over Ace suggested he wanted Ace as well.
“She needs us. Change,” Zack ordered in a low growl.
Ace kicked off his shorts and flowed into his second, stronger skin with ease. The feel of his muscles stretching and his bones rejoining no longer hurt. Instead, the transformation brought him closer to himself, to the heart that beat in his true breast.
He scented Kelly on the air, as well as Zack’s overpowering sexual desire.
“Don’t fuck around,” Zack warned and pulled Ace close. Zack sniffed him and focused on the faint bite mark at the crook of his neck, the mark Zack had given him the very first time they’d felt the mating heat. “Good.”
Ace didn’t have to wonder about Zack’s sudden acceptance. No matter how their human halves dealt with one another, Zack’s beast had already staked its claim. As had Ace’s.
Giving back, Ace grabbed Zack’s dick and rubbed a finger over the beading tip.
Bringing the fluid to his lips, he savored his mate’s taste. “Mine.” He nodded to the door, his nostrils flaring at Kelly’s wild, alluring scent. “And ours.” Zack grunted, his eyes as dark as night. Turning on his heel, he stalked to Kelly’s bedroom and shoved open the door, Ace on his heels.
What they saw stopped them in their tracks. Kelly Malloy had changed. Over six feet of glorious feminine Circ stared back at them with challenge in her eyes. Her blue irises gleamed against the hardened honey skin over her face. Her red hair looked almost black and had lengthened, coming to rest over the curves of her hips.
She stood naked, her body arousing both men into a full lust. Ace could smell it in the air.
Kelly cocked her head. “Come.” She motioned them closer. “Give me what I need.” She sniffed, and her pupils dilated. She rubbed her tight nipples, pinching them and sighing at the pleasure.
Ace wanted to tackle her to the floor and mount her. Her breasts had enlarged in perfect proportion to the rest of her frame. He had an urge to suck those nipples until she came. His cock throbbed, wanting to feel her heat all around him. A glance to his left showed Zack similarly fixated. Which posed an interesting question. Who would sink inside her first?
Zack met his look and nodded to Kelly. “Follow my lead,” he murmured and stepped closer.
More willing to follow Zack when changed, Ace ceded to the larger male and stepped closer to Kelly. He was fully aware of the danger she presented. His beast sensed her need to control, to select what was hers by right. Just as he and Zack had come to an agreement those many years ago, now they had to allow for Kelly’s need to fight for her right to take her mates.
Kelly growled when they’d come close enough. Ace licked his lips, taken with her white fangs and long nails that gleamed purple at the tips. A hint of amusement lingered, the thought that not too long ago, she’d been painting her nails. So feminine, so soft --
She ripped a claw down his belly, and he roared.
Zack stopped him with a broad hand on his chest. “Not yet.” Kelly opened her mouth to taste his scent in the air. A thin trail of blood trickled down his belly.
“Mine.” She stepped closer and cautiously knelt between his feet.
Ace’s cock grew harder, as stiff as iron. With Zack beside him and Kelly on her knees in front of him, he wanted nothing more than to ride his mates until he came.
Kelly pressed her mouth to the start of his injury and slid up his body to lick the blood away. The scratch had already healed, but the press of her lips against his flesh caused him to arch into her.
A soft hand gripped his balls in warning, and he stayed as still as he was able, his breath overly loud in the sudden silence.
“Mine.” Kelly’s tongue trailed back down his abdomen, her mouth resting above his pubic bone. She released his sac to cup him, then ran her hand over his taut shaft.
“Yes,” Ace hissed, grabbing the hand Zack used to steady him.
Kelly lifted her head to study his cock. She leaned closer to the fluid beading at his slit and licked it away. “Good.”
Ace groaned, unable to keep still.
Turning to Zack just a step away, Kelly lifted a hand, her claws at the ready.
“No,” he growled. “You want to taste me, you take what I offer.” He gripped his cock and held it out for her. “Lick it off.”
Zack’s dominance had a predictable effect on Ace. His balls drew tight, and he shivered, taken with the need to submit to his more powerful mate.
Kelly’s eyes flashed, but she didn’t disobey. She leaned close and stuck out a pretty pink tongue. With a soft stroke, she licked away the cream glistening on Zack’s cock.
“That’s it.” Zack suddenly grabbed the back of her head and held tight, but he didn’t pull her closer. “Now suck it.” Kelly balked, and Ace saw Zack’s hands tighten. “Obey me, mate. The way he does.” Zack nodded to Ace.
Ace understood exactly what Zack wanted. He stepped behind Kelly and caught her head, holding her in place. Zack released her and ran a hand up Ace’s arm to his chest. He pinched Ace’s nipples, and Ace pushed Kelly’s head forward.
She hissed at him as she opened her mouth over Zack’s shaft.
“That’s it. Good girl.” Zack remained still as Kelly worked him, but his gaze remained on Ace. “She’s sucking my cock,” he said, as if Ace couldn’t see it with his own eyes. “And after I come, she’s going to suck yours.”
Ace nodded, caught in the lust swirling around the room.
“That’s it, Kelly. Let me mark you.” Zack panted. As if he too were involved, Ace caught Kelly’s rhythm and continued to push her head over Zack, but only because she allowed it. Her scent drenched the air, and Ace had a hard time not coming as he rubbed his shaft against her back.
“Swallow it,” Zack roared as he spewed. Before he was even done, he pulled away, still coming. “Now him.”
Kelly turned around and took Ace into her mouth. Her nails scored his thighs as she swallowed him whole. Such bliss, such heat in her mouth. Her fangs lightly grazed his shaft, and Ace knew she’d retracted them, accepting both him and Zack as she touched them.
“That’s it, Kelly. So good, mate,” Ace rasped as he fucked her mouth. “I’m coming hard.” He couldn’t wait any longer.
“Not yet.” Zack forced her to back away, meeting her shouts and slashing claws with ease. “Bend over the bed, Kelly.”
“Fuck you. I’m not done.” Kelly’s snarl gave Ace a rush. Her aggressiveness was as arousing as her scent. A female Circ in her prime, and she was his to share. She wanted him.
Ace willed his orgasm away, wanting to last. God, watching Zack manhandle Kelly was so incredibly hot. His beast roared its approval, infatuated with Zack’s raw power, so at odds with the laid-back man he normally was.
“You’re done when I say you’re done,” Zack snarled back. “Now bend over the fucking bed.” He didn’t give her another chance to argue as he shoved her down and spread her legs.
“Ace, come take what’s yours. Ram her hard. Share your seed. She needs it.”
Kelly thrashed beneath them, but she lifted her ass when Ace mounted her from behind.
“Oh, yeah,” he rumbled as he slid deep inside her. “Such a hot pussy. So tight.” Ace began fucking her, thrusting in and out with deliberate roughness.
Kelly mewed and pleaded, wanting more.
Zack gave it to her. He rounded Ace and shoved his hand beneath her waist. “Feel that little clit. So hard, so moist.” He kissed her shoulder, nipping her when she turned her face away from him. “Watch me, mate. See me while Ace fucks what’s his.” Breathless as he watched Zack kiss Kelly while he played with her, Ace started at the viselike clamping of Kelly’s channel.
His body reacted before he could think. He shot hard inside her, his climax obliterating his ability to feel anything but the drugging pleasure from Kelly’s body.
It was a moment before he realized Zack had mounted him as well.
“Lean over her,” Zack ordered, his tone gritty.
Ace didn’t have a chance to obey, because Zack forced his legs apart and slammed deep, his natural lubricant easing the way. His cock surged against Ace’s prostate, pushing Ace into another powerful orgasm as Zack continued to ride him.
Kelly moaned and contracted around him, caught in the heavy pheromones layering over the room. Sex invaded the small space, heaving bodies and the perfume of arousal drugging them all.
Zack shouted as he came, spurting inside Ace as Ace continued to come inside Kelly.
The three of them were caught in an orgasmic frenzy as scents and sound magnified. And then, as the crescendo of lust faded, their individual scents merged.
Ace sucked in his breath as the sweetness of their joining became clear.
Zack pulled out, and Ace did as well. He caught Kelly in his arms and laid her tenderly on the bed.
“Mine, both of you, mine,” Kelly breathed as she stared up at them in shock. Her breathing gradually calmed, and she blinked up at both of them in awe.
“Your beast is so damned pretty,” was all Ace could say and think as he stared down at her. He finally felt at peace, claimed by Zack, claiming Kelly. Right in the middle, where he belonged.
He sensed Zack behind him and tilted his head to the side. While Kelly watched, Zack pierced his skin with sharp fangs, right where he’d left his last bite. Ecstasy rushed through Ace in a riot of intensity.
Then Zack left him and knelt on the bed by Kelly. She stared at him for a moment before tilting her head to the side. Zack smiled down at her before marking her the same way. His mouth covered the area where her neck and shoulder met. He sucked hard before withdrawing gently.
“Mine. All mine.” Zack included Ace in his comments.
After cleaning up, the three of them lay down together, taking up Kelly’s bed so that they all had to sleep on their sides to fit.
“I hope the bed holds us,” Kelly murmured in a low, husky voice.
“If it doesn’t, no matter.” Ace nuzzled her neck. “I’ll hold you, and Zack will hold the both of us.” Ace nestled his groin against her ass, hugging her tight. He couldn’t help toying with her breasts, so full and plump. He wanted very badly to bite her there, to make his own lingering mark. But he didn’t want to overwhelm her so soon. It was enough he and Zack had finally claimed her as their own.
Zack was kissing her, and Ace couldn’t help himself. He reached over her hip to take Zack’s cock in his hand. Not surprised to find his friend hard and wet, Ace played with him while Zack continued to kiss Kelly.
His own body wanted more of her as well. The change ensured not only enhanced senses, but a sexual stamina that strengthened between mates. God knew he and Zack had fucked like rabbits many times before. But with Kelly between them, Ace didn’t think he could wait for her to catch up to them. And then he didn’t have to as she reached behind her to take him in hand.
Kelly could only feel as she lay between the two men she loved. Her beast had finally found freedom, and with it, Kelly opened up to a whole new world. Sights, sounds, and scents were magnified. She could literally taste the desire in the air, the sweetness of the seed she’d swallowed that already lay buried in her womb. The essence of her mates wrapped around her as well. Whereas before they’d been three, now they were one. And she wanted more.
Zack kissed her with skill, with need, and with pleasure. His cock pressed into her belly, still stiff and needing ease. She wanted to provide him that pleasure. But more than that, she needed to give it to him. Rocking back, she felt Ace’s desire as well. He slid between her ass cheeks, prodding at that virgin hole that needed something more.
Kelly groaned into Zack’s mouth, trying to tell him with her body what she needed.
“That’s it. That’s good, Kel.” Zack broke away, and she stared into his dark eyes. The pupils expanded so wide, his eyes looked entirely black. So inhuman. So sexy. And so hers.
“I want more,” she shocked herself by growling. Before she could demand they give her what she wanted, Ace and Zack took her ability to command her body from her.
So strong, her mates. Her beast purred with affection, thrilled when Ace pulled her over him. His form was massive, his muscles solid and large against her back. Zack loomed over them, spreading their thighs as he watched. His gaze fixated on her crotch, and he played with her pussy, pushing his fingers through the darkened red hair over her mound.
Then she felt Ace shudder beneath her and realized Zack had grabbed Ace’s cock.
“Sit up,” Zack told her. “Ace is wet, almost wetter than you. Our dicks produce a natural oil when needed. And Ace needs this as much as you do.”
