Wolves at the Door (MMM) (4 page)

Those beautiful eyes made Steven’s
heart pound. “No, but I don’t see how last night could be more than
just an amazing night. I saw it. You and Patrick are in
love.”

Aiden nodded slowly. “I see. When you
truly love someone, sharing is easier, but let me tell you right
now last night was not just about me and Patrick sharing pleasure.
It was about being with you. We were sharing something else,
too—our feelings. Yes, we just met you, but the mutual attraction
was obvious. I told Patrick to hold off, but he’s … strong
willed.”

“
I’m not rejecting you.
Far from it. But you don’t owe me anything. I won’t follow you
around like a pup or anything.”

Aiden laughed, surprising Steven. Why
was that reference so funny?

Steven didn’t know what else to say,
so he asked, “Where’s Patrick?”

“
At work. He waited as
long as he could, and he wouldn’t let me wake you. We’ve had your
car towed to our mechanic, and I already called our doctor. Do you
need to call work?”

Steven nodded. “Yes.” He couldn’t
believe they’d already made those arrangements for him. No one had
ever been this nice and considerate before, especially with
practically no reason to do so.

Aiden handed him a cell phone. “Go
ahead. I’ll put towels and some clothes in the bathroom. Mine seem
to fit you perfectly. Then I’ll go make some breakfast and give you
privacy.”

“
Thanks,
Aiden.”

Aiden smiled. “No problem. It’s nice
having you here.”

It is?
Steven watched him grab some things from the closet and then
go into the bathroom.
They’re gorgeous and
amazing. They didn’t hurt me. In fact, they made me very, very
happy. But isn’t this … weird?
He shook
his head and dialed work, hoping he wouldn’t be in too much
trouble.

Aiden couldn’t help blushing when
Steven complimented his French toast a second time. “We both like
to cook, but I enjoy it more. Patrick insists I’m better at
it.”

Steven wiped his mouth and brought his
plate to the sink. He was still limping, but the swelling had gone
down overnight. “I’m feeling pretty spoiled, the treatment I’m
getting,” he said, sounding both flirty and shy somehow.

Aiden leaned in and kissed him, just a
peck on the cheek. “Are you ready to go now? Do you want to get
anything from your place?”

Steven grabbed his wallet and looked
inside. “No. I’ve got my insurance card, so we’re good.” He held
his foot up and wiggled it. “It doesn’t hurt much now, except when
I put weight on it.”

“
Good. Do you need to go
by work or anything?”

Steven shook his head. “No.” He
smiled. “You think of everything, it seems.”

Aiden smiled back. “I try.” He grabbed
his keys. “I’ll pull the car closer to the door. Be right
back.”

“
Okay.”

Aiden felt amazing as he walked
outside. Steven wasn’t scared or freaked out. Patrick had been
right—Steven was very sweet indeed. Aiden had to adjust his pants
as he remembered the way Steven had kissed him and sucked him off
the night before. As good as last night had been, Aiden knew all
three of them fucking would be amazing. They could take turns being
in the middle. Aiden smiled as he started the car. He needed to get
his head out of the gutter. One pleasurable encounter was not going
to be enough to convince Steven to give them a chance. But, he did
feel their chemistry, so part of him knew it was only a matter of
time.

****

Patrick looked down at his phone to
read Aiden’s text a second time. Everything had gone well at the
doctor’s office, so Steven was cleared to go back to work right
away. Also, Steven’s car would be ready first thing the next day.
Steven had graciously accepted their offer of a ride to pick up his
car in the morning, but he wouldn’t be joining them for lunch
downtown tomorrow, which had been part of Patrick’s plan.
Apparently, someone from work had called Steven’s work phone as
soon as he heard Steven was hurt, and the message had been waiting
for Steven when Aiden took him home. While returning the call,
Steven had accepted a lunch invitation. Patrick frowned as he
dialed Aiden’s number.

“
Hey,” Aiden said when he
answered.

“
What happened?” Patrick
asked, his tone demanding. He loved Aiden with his whole heart, but
at times his mate was far too passive.

“
He had six mixed calls
when he got home. I told him to take them. He’d offered me coffee,
so I thought I was doing the right thing by prolonging my stay. I
was going to invite him to lunch as I left. He’d already agreed to
let us cook dinner for him, so it didn’t occur to me anything might
go wrong. How could I have known someone would ask him to
lunch?”

Patrick calmed a little. “Okay. You’re
right. It’s not your fault. I’m sorry. It just irks me when I’m not
completely in control.”

“
Oh, I’ve noticed.” Aiden
sighed. “Anyway, one was his boss, one his boss’ secretary, and
three were clients. The last one was the guy who sits across from
him in another cubicle. He took some of Steven’s calls and
appointments, so the boss told him what happened. Steven called him
back, and they talked for a minute.”

“
And how did Steven
seem?”

“
Pleased. And flustered.
He was surprised by the guy’s invitation. I can tell he really had
a hard time making friends wherever he came from.”

“
Why was he flustered
though? Was he really just surprised?”

“
He said the guy is kind
of shy, really quiet some days but more talkative if Steven draws
him out. He’s the only person Steven has really gotten to know at
work so far.”

Patrick groaned. “Was he embarrassed?
Is this a date?” He did not like the sound of this guy.

“
No. He said it’s just
friendly.” Aiden paused.

Patrick counted to five because he
could feel more coming. “Aiden?”

“
He kind of … blushed.
Probably just felt self-conscious because of what happened last
night. He made it really clear that this guy is just a
friend.”

“
It better stay that
way.”

Aiden sighed again. “Patrick, please
be nice tonight. Don’t try to boss him around and don’t ask about
this guy. He likes us, which is why he wanted to be sure I knew
this guy was only a friend. He’s lived here like a week. Please
don’t get worked up about this other guy.”

“
We had an amazing time
last night, and I don’t want anyone getting in the way. Let me be
clear here. I’m not upset with Steven. I don’t think he’d fuck us
and then walk away. But, if given the choice between dating a guy
he already knows and exploring something very new and
unconventional with two guys he just met, he might choose the safe
path.”

“
Then let’s make tonight
normal. Let’s get to know him, just talk and laugh and enjoy
ourselves.”

The alpha inside of Patrick wanted
Steven beneath him that very moment, wanted to fuck Steven deep and
claim him. He knew an ordinary human could never understand, but he
couldn’t push the urge down completely. “I’ll try.” He attempted to
focus and asked, “How did your day together go?”

“
Very well. He’s very
intelligent and funny. He’s also very, very sweet. He let me kiss
him when I left. I only told you about the lunch invitation because
otherwise you’d be making plans for tomorrow. I don’t see this guy
as a threat.”

Patrick, of course, saw everyone and
everything as a threat. “Maybe not now. But what if his shyness
stems from liking Steven? Or what if he’s not out of the closet? Is
Steven out at work?”

“
Yes, he said he is. He’s
tired of hiding, so this guy has to know he’s gay.”

Patrick groaned internally, fisting
his hand in the leg of his khakis. “We’ll just have to make sure
Steven sees we’re serious. I want him to know we aren’t looking for
a fuck buddy or a new boy toy or something like that.” Patrick took
a deep breath. “You’re gonna have to turn on the charm to smooth
away my rough edges.”

“
He reacts to you the way
I do. He feels the alpha in you and seems to want to submit. I
don’t think he really sees your rough edges.”

“
We’ve had one encounter.
We have to work hard tonight and set just the right tone, both
sweet
and
seductive.”

Aiden didn’t say anything. Patrick
knew this meant he was worried. “Baby,” Patrick said, “Listen,
okay?”

“
Okay. I’m
listening.”

“
He’s right for us.
He’s
ours
.”

“
And if he heard you say
that he’d think we were crazy. I can’t work much charm if your
edges are too rough.”

Patrick let the interruption slide. “I
know, baby. But I need him to feel my power, and I need him to see
how amazing you are as well. I’m sure he already saw it at least a
little today. Am I right?”

“
We got to know each other
and talked a lot. He seemed at ease around me. And when I said
good-bye, he leaned in for the kiss. He didn’t just wait for me to
bridge the distance.”

Patrick smiled a
little.
Of course he did. Who could resist
you?
“Good.”

“
I don’t think we should
try for anything sexual. Last night was intense for him. I don’t
want him with us for orgasms.”

“
He’s not like that. He
wanted the affection and the contact as much as the pleasure.”
Patrick looked at his watch. “I have a meeting, baby. Just think
about what I said.”

“
I will, but I want to
talk before he gets here tonight.”

“
All right. We will. I
love you. Bye.”

“
Love you, too.
Bye.”

Patrick hung up, his mind already
drifting to their evening together.

Chapter Four

Aiden panted as Patrick’s tongue
speared his ass. Patrick had come home about thirty minutes early.
He’d found Aiden and dragged him to the bed, tying him there with
black silk blindfolds. Patrick had never done that before, and
Aiden loved it. The blindfolds had been a gag gift from a friend’s
bachelor party, and Aiden had kept them and used them to keep the
broken door on his old wardrobe in the spare room securely
closed.

Aiden moaned as Patrick drove his
tongue deeper. He loved the sensation of being helpless and
powerless. His alpha always made him feel that way, but actually
being bound made it even better somehow. “Patrick, you’re going to
make me come.”

Patrick stopped, inching back and
fingering Aiden’s hole. “I want you to make love to him
tonight.”

Aiden’s eyes went wide. “Patrick, I
can’t.”

“
You sucked him off last
night, and he sucked you. I want to see you fuck him. Just you and
him together.”

Aiden tried to catch his breath,
shaking his head. “I don’t think we should.”

“
I’ll tell him I want it.”
Patrick licked Aiden’s hole again.

Aiden let out a whimper, the need to
come addling his logic. He finally managed to say, “I’m scared.
He’s warming to us. I don’t want to come on too strong.”

Patrick groaned in frustration. He
jerked his cock, throwing his head back. His hand slowed, and he
looked down into Aiden’s eyes. “You don’t know how it feels,
longing to claim someone. You will soon, though.” He moved forward
and penetrated Aiden, only giving him an inch. “You remember how I
claimed you, pounding you into the ground? Kissing every inch of
you?”

“
Yes,” Aiden said as he
trembled. “But I’d scented you. I knew what you were doing. It was
instinct for both of us.”

Patrick leaned down. “You were so
beautiful.” He kissed Aiden. “Your scent drove me wild. Seeing you
roll over and submit made me so happy. I felt complete when you
came.”

Aiden arched to take more, pleading
with his eyes. Patrick held back at first, but then he sank deep.
Aiden cried out in pleasure. “He’s different. He’s not a wolf. All
human males respond to you, even though they don’t know why. He’ll
be confused no matter how turned on he is.”

“
He’ll understand in time.
It’s why I want you to be with him first.” Patrick stopped talking
and thrust several times. He seated himself deeply and spoke again.
“You’ll be gentler, less overwhelming. He loved touching you. I saw
it. I’m compromising here, working up to both of us taking him
together.”

Aiden started to reply, but Patrick
began thrusting hard. He arched to meet each thrust, his balls
heavy with cum and his cock leaking his desire. “You’re making me
give you what you want.”

“
I know what is best for
us.” Patrick captured Aiden’s mouth and kissed him
roughly.

Aiden gave in to it all, the searing
kiss and the deep, hard fucking. He came in a hot burst, crying
out, but Patrick didn’t let him go. Aiden tangled his fingers in
his lover’s hair, reveling in his alpha’s possession. Patrick
slowed to a deep grind, kissing Aiden’s neck and hitting all of his
most erogenous spots. Aiden got hard again, and when Patrick felt
it he drew back and fucked Aiden with more force while jerking
Aiden’s cock.
