The Claiming of Sasha [Panther Cove 4] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) (22 page)

“You okay, darlin’?” He nibbled on her ear and then licked her throat.

The whole world was okay right now. “Yes, Master.”

As Danny’s fingers pinched and pulled her nipples, Trace continued to plow into her ass. He hit nerve after nerve, lighting her up like a roman candle. The heat that built inside her had to be hotter than the inside of any volcano.

Her stomach clenched when Danny’s cock hit the end of her pussy and she clenched hard on both men. Two growls sounded, and she spotted hair on the back of Danny’s hand.

“I’m so close, darlin’. Don’t do that.”

Trace pinched her rear. “You just cut short your ride, sugar.” His voice cracked.

Her fingers itched to touch them, but she needed to hold herself up. Danny pressed his chest against hers and plowed in and out, each thrust faster and faster while Trace forged a blistering path down her back channel. When he pulled open her butt cheeks, the overwhelming love broke her resolve.

She let out a banshee-like cry and dropped back her head. “Oh, God, Trace. Danny!”

Blood pounded in her ears, and she clenched her hands as both of her men expanded and pulsed at the same time. Danny’s cum nearly burned her insides as his jism powered its way against her pussy walls as her own climax claimed her.

Images of baby shifters flashed in her mind’s eye, and she was never more content or excited in her life. This felt so right.

Both men held on tight as they finished climaxing. Her body finally relaxed, and she leaned heavily against Trace’s chest.

“Welcome home, boys.”

Danny’s grin wobbled, but she bet Trace’s would be full-blown. He pulled his cock out of her ass, and she missed him already. Danny then withdrew.

“Let me clean you up and help you down.”

Danny got the towel, and Trace removed the spreader. Since Tanya had helped her set up the playroom, she would have to take her friend out to dinner.

Danny returned and wiped her down. Then Trace lowered the swing and she stepped out. “So anyone hungry?”

Trace wrapped his arms around her and turned her around. “Are you offering your pussy?”

She tapped his chest. “No. I meant food. I need to rest.”

He kissed her forehead. “Well, I’ll need to investigate more of you later then.”

“I like the sound of that.”

She stepped out of his grasp and got dressed. They had a lot to discuss, but right now they needed to eat.

The next few weeks were totally crazy. Trace and Danny spent their days up at Panther Cove while she worked on hiring an assistant for the store. She wanted to be able to spend her evenings with her men, not work on ordering clothes. Trace and Danny trained with Hercules and Casius each morning, either sparring with the other members or lifting weights. Trace spent his afternoon with the horses and working with the vet to ensure that their wonderful time could continue.

Hunter had asked Danny to help with some of the Panther Cove finances, and already he’d reorganized things to save the Cove money. At night, they often spent time Skyping with their brothers and their parents. Unfortunately, the brothers seemed to have more problems develop than they solved, which worried Sasha. Each time they finished the conversation, she expected Trace to say he couldn’t stay, but each time he assured her there was nothing that would make him leave.

Christmas was but two weeks away, and she wanted to celebrate before some of the members went away for the holidays. Trace and Danny said they might fly back to Texas for a few days because they’d never been away from the family during the holidays.

That would mean she’d be spending time with her grandfather. As much as she loved the old man, his behavior was a little erratic at times. One Christmas, he decided to go on a cruise and not tell her. She debated asking the men if she could go with them to meet his parents, but she didn’t want to overstep her bounds.

She’d organized a holiday party tonight at her house. “You two need to get ready for the party. I want every woman to be highly jealous of what I have.”

Danny pulled her into a hug. “Don’t you worry about us. None of the men better look twice at you or there will be trouble.”

“It’ll never happen. They know we were destined to be with each other.” She tapped his chest. “Besides, no panther shifter would dare mess with either of you two.”

He stepped back, flexed his muscles, and growled. “They better not.”

She laughed. “Go. The guests will be here soon.”

Sasha was already dressed. Jennifer, Kendis, and Julia had all volunteered to bring food. Casius and Hercules said they’d bring a keg of beer. She’d been so busy getting in a new line of clothes in the store that she decided to buy the food from the bakery section of the grocery store instead of making it herself.

The doorbell rang, and Jennifer, Hunter, and Derek came in carrying trays of food. Jennifer glowed. Even though her wedding wouldn’t be for another few months, living at Panther Cove really seemed to work for her.

“Where do you want this stuff?”

“Let’s just put it on the dining room table.” The men left her with Jennifer while they dropped off the goods. “So how’s it going?”

“Wonderful, fantastic.”

She was so happy for her friend. While Jennifer was human, they’d discussed children. Sure, she was a little fearful of having shifter babies, but apparently Julia’s mom had said she’d be there by her side since Jen’s own mom wasn’t the most stable person around.

“Hello!” The shout came from someone arriving.

Jennifer squeezed her arm. “Go.”

As Sasha headed to the front door, her men came down the hall looking way too handsome. The urge to rush them into the bedroom for a quickie tempted her, but she had been looking forward to celebrating with the community.

Both men hurried to the door to help greet everyone. For the next half hour, more and more people arrived. Part of the group hovered around the dining room table while others stayed in the living room to chat.

Tanya came up to her. “Who are those men talking to Trace and Danny?”

She glanced over at them. “They’re personal trainers. Why?”

“It was the strangest thing. When I walked by them, my stomach flipped and my pulse raced.”

“Are you thinking they’re the cause?” Sasha had the same reaction to her men, but that was because she was half panther and had a built in detection ability to sense other shifters.

“At first I didn’t think so, but when I wanted to say something to Trace, both of the men turned away from me.”

“That’s odd.”
Oh, shit
.
Could it be?
“Come with me. I’m going to ask Trace something. You stand off to the side. I want to see how Hercules and Casius react.”

“Maybe they find me too ordinary.”

Sasha planted her hands on her hips. “What are you talking about? You’re hot and sexy. Besides, you run a sex shop and know how to use a whip.”

Tanya notched up her chin. “You’re right. I am special. Let’s go show those men not to turn their backs to me.”

That got a laugh out of her. As they approached, Casius and Hercules once more rotated around. Sasha moved next to Trace and wrapped an arm around him. “How’s it going, boys?”

Casius smiled. “Just planning our next scenario.” He placed one finger to his lips confirming her suspicion. “Shh. Don’t tell anyone.”

“Tell someone what?” She wanted them to say they were attracted to Tanya.

“You know.”

She played dumb. “No, tell me.”

Casius glanced at Hercules. “Your friend makes my body do wild things.”

She stepped closer. “You mean you have this intense urge to shift?”

Casius groaned. “Yes.”

She winked and made a motion of zippering her lips. “Don’t take up too much of their time. I want my men to socialize.”

Casius saluted. She smiled and returned to Tanya.

“Come with me.”

“What’s going on?”

As soon as they got out of earshot, she decided to pass something by her friend. “What would you say if I told those men find you so attractive that they—” How could she explain about the men almost shifting when they saw Tanya?

“They what?”

“They got erections.”

She burst out laughing. “I’ve seen hard-ons before.” She waved a hand. “But they aren’t right for me.” She glanced to the ceiling. “Can you imagine me trying to tame those two?”

That would never happen. She’d known both of those men for thirty years. They liked their women submissive. However, they’d never found their mate before. The combustible relationship would be fun to watch.

“Have you ever been the bottom before?”

“Me? Honey, I need to be in control.”

“Or what? You might be so vulnerable you’d get hurt?”

Tanya didn’t get a chance to answer because Trace yelled for everyone’s attention. Sasha faced him, not having any idea what was going on. Hunter, Derek, and Jennifer were all smiles.

“Sasha, would you come here please?” Trace motioned with his hand for her to come to him.

She wasn’t sure she’d ever heard Trace use the word
please
before. She glanced at Tanya. “Excuse me.”

Both men held out their hands. She looked around, and the group had gathered in a circle. She wanted to ask what was going on, but she was sure they’d tell her soon enough.

She clasped a hand from each man, and they dropped to their knees. The image of them below her had her heart jumping to her throat. Her brain practically froze.

“Sugar, Danny and I want to tell you in front of all your friends how special you are to us.”

Danny nudged him. “We love you, Sasha.”

Trace’s lips twisted as if the
L
word was a hard one for him to say. “I love you both, too.”

Trace swallowed hard. “I love you, and since I’m two minutes older than Danny, here, we’d like to ask you a question.”

She had to force herself to keep from smiling too much and ruining their surprise. Trace pulled something out of his pocket and held up a beautiful diamond solitaire. She sucked in a breath. “It’s gorgeous.”

He motioned she take it. “Will you, Sasha MacLeash, marry Danny and me?”

She figured if she didn’t say yes right away, they’d paddle her ass for sure.
Hmm. Decisions, decisions.
“Yes!”

Both men jumped up and twirled her around. The room broke out in applause and cheers. Tanya was the first to give her a hug, after both her men planted wonderful kisses on her. Then came the round of congratulations from not only Jennifer, Kendis, and Julia, but from all of the men.

Hunter lifted his glass. “A toast to the happy couple, or rather threesome.”

Everyone chuckled. Her heart did not slow down for the rest of the evening. Her mind raced. In a way she was surprised the men proposed like full-blooded humans, but since they grew up not knowing any of the shifter customs it made sense.

She had so many questions, but now wasn’t the time to discuss when they wanted the ceremony. In her mind, they were already married even though they hadn’t both bitten her neck and infused her with their blood. It had never occurred to her to tell them what the mating ritual entailed.

Both Danny and Trace wrapped an arm around her waist. She looked around and spotted Tanya talking with Kendis on the other side of the room. “Did you notice that when Tanya came around Casius and Hercules, they were both a little uncomfortable?”

Danny grinned. “I was thinking those two might shift right before our eyes and ruin everything.”

“So Tanya is their mate?”

“Oh, yeah, but they’re scared.”

That was ridiculous. “Not those two.”

“Well, they’re scared she won’t want anything to do with them. For one, they are shifters, and two, they totally need control in their lives, and Tanya appears to be the one who wants to yield the power.”

“There is that.”

Trace tugged on her waist. “Well, some women can be taught to change. With the right man in charge, it can be quite fun to tame her.”

She stepped away from him, opened her mouth, and raised her brows. “Are you saying I needed taming?”

“No, sugar. You just needed claiming.”

Danny pulled something out of his pocket. “We have one more surprise for you.”

“I’m not sure I can handle anything else.”

Trace’s face fell. “You’ll like this. I think.”

“What is it?”

“Give it to her, dummy.”

Danny handed her an envelope. She tore it open and found a round trip ticket to Texas. The date was in three days. “You want me to meet your family?”

“Hell, yes. We would have asked sooner, but we needed to make sure my mom could make all the arrangements. She’s so excited to see us married that she’s having a wedding shower. Not only that, but she had to plan for a huge Christmas party. Relatives I don’t think I’ve ever met are coming to meet you.”
