I glanced at my brother. It was clear Addie was either going to choose him or me. Of course, I wanted it to be me. I’d have to be stupid to not want her to choose me as her first, yeah? But, at the same time, I also wanted her to choose Dylan. He was far too quiet half the time, too locked away in his own head, overthinking things.
My brother and I could not have been more different, and yet I was glad to be stuck with him. Glad that we would share a mate. There were just some bonds that meant more to you—the pack bond was one of them, along with the mate bond.
But also the brother bond.
I’d claimed her first when we were shifted, so it was only fair, I supposed, to let Dylan have her, first. Trust me, it took a lot out of me to be able to admit that out loud, but here I was. What could I say? I guessed I was finally growing up, being mature and all that shit.
I stood near Dylan, and I watched as Addie got off the bed and moved toward us. Forest’s and Landon’s stare were on her, watching, waiting to hear her decision with bated breath. My own heart beat rapidly in my chest, threatening to burst. This wait, this anticipation, it was too much.
Or maybe that was just the ache in my balls because I wanted to have her under me, her smooth skin beneath mine.
Her eyes were the most beautiful green hue I’d ever seen, so pure in their depths. Addie glanced between Dylan and me, taking her time before saying, “Both of you.”
If I had a quarter for every time she did something I wasn’t expecting…I’d probably have a whole lot of quarters with nowhere to use them, since all our needs were taken care of here.
“Both?” I repeated, glancing to my brother. Dylan’s cheeks were outright flaming now, embarrassment coating every single feature on him. It seemed my twin could not speak a single word, and even though an excitement began to rise within me, I also wanted to make sure my brother would be fine, you know?
Addie smiled and grabbed our hands, one of each, pulling us toward the bed.
Ah, you know what? Dylan would be fine. He’d get used to it. He would man up and love this girl like she deserved. I knew it, he knew it, we all knew it. He just needed a bit of time to get accustomed to it.
Addie glanced to Landon and Forest. “Give us the room?” The way she asked, she sounded so sweet. So innocent. Who could listen to her and not automatically jump to do whatever it was she wanted?
Landon muttered something under his breath—something toward Dylan and me—but he folded all the same, leaving the room. Forest left soon after, but not before he stopped before Addie and planted a chaste kiss on her cheek. He closed the door behind him, shutting us in together.
Wow. I didn’t think I’d ever been this excited for anything before. Sure, it’d felt amazing when I’d discovered what I could do with my mini-me when I was younger—but that was nothing compared to what this would feel like.
I wasn’t sure about Landon, but Dylan and I…we’d never been with anyone else. Truly, it was a good thing we had inner wolves to help guide us, to tell us what to do and how to do it. Nature found a way, even with bumbling idiots.
Not that I was calling myself a bumbling idiot. I wasn’t. I didn’t think.
Dylan blinked, his cheeks flaring up beneath the rims of his glasses, his amber eyes wide as he took in Addie’s naked form.
She was gorgeous, to say the least. She might not think she’s shifter material, but she definitely was. There was a smoothness to her features, a softness to her lips and a glint in her eyes that humans simply could not have. There was nothing about her that I would change; she was literally perfect in every way.
“Dylan,” Addie spoke, moving before him. Both her hands found the waistline of his jeans, and she hooked her fingers through the belt loops, pulling his midsection toward hers. “You’re going to have to take these off, you know.” I knew my brother was hiding an erection behind those jeans, and I knew he’d turn even pinker once he took them off.
He wasn’t shy about his naked form, but…I was pretty sure it had more to do with Addie than him. He was probably locked in his own mind, wondering if he’d love her right, if he’d touch her the way she liked. I bet he also anticipated being downright horrible at it.
Funny, sort of—he hadn’t been too worried when we were all shifted and in the woods. Although, I supposed, that had been mostly his wolf taking over. This? This was all him, though his inner beast would guide him to fit the dick in the hole. There really wasn’t much more to it than that, other than making sure Addie felt as good as we did.
And with both of us here? I was certain we would be able to handle it. Addie would never know what hit her.
“I know,” Dylan quickly said. “I just…”
I grabbed Addie, pulling her off my brother and colliding my chest with hers. Feeling her breasts swell with a great breath as I held her against me was the best feeling in the world—but one I knew would soon be overshadowed by the feeling of her under me. “Let’s warm up the room a bit then, yeah?” I leaned my forehead against hers, breathing her in. She smelled of strawberries and mangoes.
Maybe her body wash.
“Maybe seeing us going at it like rabbits will make Dylan realize how silly he’s being,” I whispered, my fingers curling around her waist. God, I really just wanted to push her to the bed and take her every which way possible, but I supposed I couldn’t. Not yet. It’s why she chose Dylan and me, not Landon, not Forest.
Us. We would be her firsts.
Addie nodded against me, murmuring, “I think that’s a good idea.” Her arms wrapped around my neck, and before either of us could say anything more, our mouths collided. Heat coursed through me, lighting up every nerve in my body as I tasted her.
Her lips…I could really never get used to the feeling of those on me.
I backed her up, never losing her lips on mine. I lowered her to the bed, and it was only then she broke away, panting, her back arching under me as she stretched an arm toward Dylan. With a quick glance to my brother, I rolled off her, though I remained on the bed.
“Come on, Dylan,” I spoke with a grin. “She wants you. Better give the girl what she wants, yeah?” My own cock was dripping with precum, ready to feel her tighten around it, but I knew that would come soon enough.
Right now, Addie and I had to make sure Dylan was okay, that he wasn’t overthinking any of this.
Dylan took a step toward the bed, and he was slow in taking her hand in his, allowing her to pull him close, to tug him onto the bed beside her. Addie was now nestled between two shifters, two brothers, two twins, and frankly, she looked like she could never be happier.
Was our mate a little on the kinky side? You know, I was fine with it. I didn’t care what we did, as long as we did it with her.
Addie rolled on her side, giving me her back as she tangled her hands in Dylan’s hair and pulled his head toward hers. She kissed him hard and fast, and I could see his tension visibly leaving his body, his arms and legs relaxing as he gave into her. As they kissed, I ran a finger along her spine, all the way down to her ass.
Such pretty cheeks, really. What would they look like spread apart, taking me in? My cock twitched at the thought.
For a while, she rolled between us, alternating who she showered with those luscious, full lips. Eventually, Dylan got more comfortable, and I felt him get off the bed, my ears picking up on the sounds of jeans hitting the floor.
Addie broke our lip lock to watch, giving Dylan a tiny smile as she said, “See? That wasn’t so hard, was it?”
I hummed as I buried my face in the crook of her neck. “Dylan overcoming his anxieties isn’t the only thing that’s hard.” Okay, so maybe right now wasn’t the best time to joke, but I was still me. I would die with a joke half-finished, probably.
No. No joking about dying, or death. Being stabbed by that freak Clay had brought me closer to the brink than I wanted to think about. No more. I was better, fully healed—albeit with a new scar on my lower stomach—and I was here. That was more
than what could be said for those shifters who’d lost their lives to Clay.
Addie actually laughed at what I said, while Dylan could only mutter, “Oh, my God.”
“What?” I said, lifting my mouth off her neck. “It’s true. I mean, look at this thing.” I motioned to the one-eyed snake between my legs. “Look at that thing.” Next I pointed at Dylan’s. “Those are two hard things, you know.” Back to nuzzling her neck, I whispered, “And they’re all yours to play with, Addie.”
She chuckled. “Maze. What am I going to do with you?”
“I could definitely think of a few things,” I mused, forcing her to roll onto her back. Dylan had crawled back on the bed, but there was more than enough room for us all to be there. I had Addie near the wall, her slender body beneath me, and I found myself slowly prying her legs open.
It was so close, I could almost taste it, could almost feel myself inside her. Finally, Addie and I were about to become one, just as our wolves had done earlier. She was my mate, my chosen, my protected, and my love. There was nothing in the world I would not do for this girl.
And what was even better? I didn’t have to wear any protection. Addie was so against having pups right now that she’d gone on birth control. I could spill inside her over and over, as much as I wanted, as much as my body could handle.
I leaned back, gazing at the apex between her legs, my whole body raring to go. My cock twitched at the thought of entering her, and I guided myself toward that slick, welcoming hole. My eyes locked with hers, and then, in a matter of moments, it was all over.
Chapter Five – Dylan
Some people might think it was strange for me to watch my brother make love to our girl, our shared mate, but among shifters, it was a common enough thing. Keeping brothers close, having them mate with the same girl, kept familial bonds tight.
I didn’t think it was weird for me to lay beside them, to watch as Maze entered her with one push of his hips. I didn’t think it was odd for me to watch Addie’s reaction, to hear her sharp intake of breath as he filled her up. No, this was as normal as something could possibly be.
Maze’s hips thrusted, his ass clenching each time he pushed himself fully in her, and she began to make the most glorious sounds I’d ever heard. Such gasping, desperate sounds. I’d been nervous before, but now I was feeling better. Now, as I watched them get to know each other in the most intimate way possible, I knew I could do it.
I could please her. I could be a good lover.
Plus, if Maze could do it, so could I. My twin and I could not be more different, but deep down, the only thing that mattered was our love for this girl.
My wolf had claimed her, and soon enough it would be time for my human body to claim hers, too. A strange sort of excitement bubbled up inside me, and I could not stop myself from reaching down and stroking myself a few times as I watched Maze pummel into her with a steady rhythm. My cock throbbed with need, a need only her body could satiate.
I knew none of us would last particularly long, so it did not surprise me to hear Maze let out a guttural moan and watch him arch his back, ramming his dick as deep into her as it could go. The orgasm must’ve been a powerful one, for his eyelids slammed shut, his chest rising and falling with great, huge breaths. Beneath him, Addie took his seed, watching with half-lidded eyes as he came.
“Oh, wow,” Maze murmured, slowly pulling himself out of her, his cock slick with her juices. “That was…wow.” For once, my ever-talkative, incessantly sarcastic brother was speechless. I didn’t know if I should laugh or make sure to remember this so I could tell future generations that there was a time, once, long, long ago, that Maze was stunned into silence.
By an orgasm. By becoming one with Addie.
It was my turn now.
I met the dark eyes of my twin, and Maze got the hint. Though the last thing he wanted to do was pull himself off her and give her space, he did—which allowed me to take his place between her legs, to view her from a different angle.
She truly was magnificent. With her legs spread, I was able to see the slickness of her pussy, the swollen, hungry nub of her clit. Her bare breasts swelled with each breath, her eyes now on me.
I never knew I was capable of feeling so protective, never knew I could feel such love and adoration for someone else, but then Addie was not at all what I’d been expecting. She was so different from anyone else in the pack, and I loved that about her. I hoped I would never have to spend a single day of my life without her.
Before I could do or say anything else, Addie leaned up, running a hand along my jaw and bringing her face to mine. A soft, tender kiss that pushed all lingering doubt out of my mind. I knew right then and there that I would make this girl mine. If there was one thing I should be confident in, it was her. Us. This moment, right here, right now. Nothing else mattered.
Addie ran her tongue over my bottom lip, and I watched as she leaned back down, breathing evenly, her expression all but inviting me in.
With a hand at the base of my dick, I pushed into her. I did not do it quickly, as Maze had, nor did I revel in the way it felt. Don’t get me wrong—I did, because it felt amazing—but I had to watch my length disappear into her. Combine that with how tight she felt around me, and it was a recipe for another quick orgasm from me.
I couldn’t make fun of Maze for not going a marathon with her, not when she felt this good. Not when my cock disappearing as it pushed into her pussy felt and looked so ridiculously great.
Maze plopped himself down on the pillow beside Addie, staring at her with absolute adoration. “She feels good, doesn’t she?” he whispered, posing the question to me. “Like a warm, wet hug around your cock.” He sighed, as if remembering what it’d felt like to be inside her.
A warm, wet hug around my cock. Yeah, that was exactly it—and it was exactly why I knew I would become addicted to this feeling. To being buried inside her, never wishing for anything else. It was glorious.
My body leaned down against hers, pinning her down on the bed. Her hands found my sides, her heat flooding into me, making my blood practically boil. I began to thrust my hips, dragging my cock in and out of her wet cunt. Pleasure seared through my veins, my body taking on a will of its own.
A will to find its release, a will to please her, to drown her in everything I was, everything I would be. We would find our purpose in life together.
Feeling her naked body writhing under, hearing her moans of pleasure as I took her, marked her as mine, drove me to jerk my hips at a quicker pace. Not hard—and certainly more gentle than Landon would be—but enough to make her back arch and her eyes to close. Enough for me to lean down and kiss her throat, giving her a small nip on her neck.
I felt another hand enter the equation, and I knew it was Maze; he’d snaked a hand between us to rub her right tit, to tweak her nipple, tug and pull on it, causing her to practically mewl under me. Her inner walls clamped down on my length, and I groaned into her neck, the added tightness almost too much to bear.
How did Maze even last as long as he did? I wanted to lose myself to an orgasm right away.
Addie’s body tightened under mine, her skin flushed with sweat and heat. She cried out, much louder than her previous moaning. If I had to guess, her inner clamping and her moaning meant Maze and I had brought her to an orgasm.
Good. Our mate deserved as many of those as she could take, as many as we could give her. This wasn’t just about us, after all. It was about all of us.
Only thing was, her orgasm helped lead me to mine. The way her pussy tightened around my cock, how it felt like she was milking me for all I was worth…I couldn’t fight it. I couldn’t stave it off for later. The orgasm that had been building inside of me as I watched Maze take her burst through the wall I’d built around it, dominating every part of me as my balls released a sea of cum inside her.
I nearly fell on top of her with the wave of bliss that took hold within me, breathing hard, my nose leaning against her cheek. She sme
lled good, and she felt even better than that. Truly, Maze and I had hit the jackpot when it came to a mate. Addie was more than either of us could’ve ever hoped for.
I rolled onto her other side, keeping an arm around her stomach. “Ours,” I murmured, to which my brother nodded.
“Yeah,” he said. “Ours.” And then we each placed a chaste kiss upon her cheek before we cuddled into her.
If this moment could never end, that would be even better. Alas, end it would, for there were two other males in the house who were dying to get their hands on her and their cocks inside her. Tonight was not the time to be selfish when it came to Addie; tonight was about all of us. Maze and I would have to get up and give the room to the others.
Hmm. Maybe in a few minutes.
Chapter Six – Landon
Forest and I were in the kitchen. Forest was busy making himself some coffee, probably trying to get Addie off his mind temporarily. He’d even put his clothes back on. Me? I thought fuck it, so I sat at the table, my bare ass on the chair, my dick still rock hard as I waited. If Forest was quiet and I focused, I could hear the muffled sounds of fucking coming from upstairs, but Forest was hardly quiet.
He probably was loud on purpose, not wanting me to overstep and listen in to Maze and Dylan as they claimed Addie’s human body.
To prove me right, Forest spoke, glancing over his shoulder as he dumped some sugar into his coffee, “Be patient, Landon.” His crisp blue stare was on me as he held onto his mug and sat in the seat across from me. “She’ll be yours soon enough.” He took a sip from the mug.
I knew he was right. Forest was always right, which was sometimes annoying as hell, but anytime I got annoyed with him, I remembered what he did for me. Without him, I never would’ve been brought to this pack. I never would’ve learned what it was like to have a pack that cared about your well-being and your life. I never would’ve met Maze or Dylan…or Addie.
