Aiden took the hint and grabbed her hands where they lay on her lap. “It’s not like that, Brenna, not at all.”
“Then stay with me tonight, please.”
She looked back and forth between them, and Craig knew this might be his only chance.
“We’re not going anywhere, Brenna.” He carried her over to the large sink. Aiden followed them, turning on the water and soaping up his hands. He washed the blood from Brenna’s hands and arms. She stood there in a daze, letting them take care of her. Craig took her scrubs off and tossed them on the table since she was wearing a tank top and shorts underneath.
“Holy shit, what’s going on tonight?” River rushed into the room, looking around wildly. Craig almost didn’t recognize her. She wasn’t wearing any makeup, was dressed in a pair of Hello Kitty flannel pants and a black T-shirt with “Firefly” screenprinted across the front of it. He was used to her pale skin and dark eye makeup. She looked like a teenager under it all. “Gordon called me and told me to come down because there was an emergency. Brennie, are you okay?”
“I’m okay, River.” Brenna pushed slightly out of Craig’s arms. He thought she was trying to distance herself, but then realized she was blocking River’s view of Aiden. “Aiden was shot, but I got the bullet out and he was able to shift.”
“Oh, good.” River kept her eyes averted from Aiden’s large form and looked at Brenna and then to Craig. “I’m glad it wasn’t worse. Why don’t you take her upstairs and I’ll clean up down here?”
“I’ll stay and help,” Craig offered, but River shook her head.
“Nah, it won’t take me long, and you’ll get in my way.” She pulled an MP3 player out of her pocket and slipped the earbuds in her ears. “I’ll be done before you know it, and I’ll let myself out.” She winked at him and waved her hands in a shooing motion. “Go, go take care of her. I’ll call Ann and Helen and let them know Aiden’s okay.”
Before he left the room, Craig put the bullet in a plastic bag and sealed it. “I’m taking the bullet, Brenna. I’ll make a report and put it in evidence.”
River stopped gathering up the gauze and gave him a frightened stare. “Do you think the shootings were on purpose?”
“I don’t know, River. But I’m not taking any chances.”
Chapter Nine
Brenna wasn’t thrilled that River had seen Aiden naked. Nudity wasn’t usually a big deal with shifters since they often changed forms in front of each other. Maybe if Brenna knew Aiden wanted to be her Mate it wouldn’t have annoyed her as much.
Aiden refused to let her walk until he placed her feet on the floor of her bedroom. He must’ve sensed her emotions because he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. “Brenna, I can’t give you what you need. God knows I wish I could. One day it might be different, but for now, I can’t.”
Hearing him say it broke her heart. He might have given up, but she wasn’t going to. Thankful for his honesty, she speared her fingers through his hair. Holding on, she tugged his face closer to hers. “Don’t worry about what I need. Give me what I want.”
He looked skeptical. Considering how she’d ended things last time, she didn’t blame him. It’d been a childish response and had ended up causing much more damage to them both. Craig stroked his hands over her back, allowing her to convince Aiden to stay. “Please, Aiden.” Lifting her face, she brushed her lips against his, darting her tongue out to lick his upper lip. His lips remained firm and closed, but she refused to let him shut her out. This was too important to give up on. She knew that now, when it had almost been too late. “Please.” She sucked on his lower lip and felt him begin to soften toward her.
“I hope you understand what you’re asking,” he said against her lips, and she almost cheered out loud. She saw the acceptance in his gaze before he spoke the words. She felt Craig move in behind her, crowding her between them. Her wolf panted and howled with excitement. She slid her hands over the muscles of Aiden’s chest. Such strength and loyalty lay under there, but she wished his heart was hers. If she could only have him part-time she would take it…for now. As if Aiden sensed her acceptance, he speared his fingers through her hair and lunged at her lips.
He kissed her like a man starving for a drop of attention. She knew he was the man for her, and her wolf heartily agreed. Her thoughts spun as she kissed him back. He claimed her mouth and boldly slipped his tongue against hers. She tasted the coffee he’d had earlier and a flavor that was uniquely his. He was an addictive force she would hunger for whenever they were apart.
Craig pressed a kiss to the back of her neck, reminding her of his presence. She arched her back, pressing her ass against the hard ridge lining the front of his pants. A sharp sting followed his lips as he kissed and nipped his way down her spine as Aiden lifted her tank top over her head. She jumped at the intense flash of sensation and then shivered as Aiden pressed closer. His chest had a sparse dusting of crisp dark hair and it tickled her nipples, making them tighten up into hard nubs.
“Cold?” Aiden grinned down at her. Brenna shook her head, unable to speak at the moment with Craig teasing her. His large hands cupped her bottom as he made his way down her spine. He pressed his fingertips against her skin and lightly scratched her hips with his short nails as he eased her shorts over her bottom. Her nerves sparked as her pussy flooded with moisture, and she wondered if his wolf was trying to make its presence known.
Aiden dropped to his knees in front of her and nuzzled his face along the underside of her breasts.
She stood there, feeling like a goddess with her men worshiping her on their knees. She could sense Craig’s pleasure because Aiden stayed. It echoed the same feeling she had in her heart. She didn’t understand why Aiden felt the need to run from them, but Craig seemed bound and determined to convince him to stay, and she was going to help any way she could. The idea of not having them both here…she could almost imagine the sense of loss that would accompany.
Aiden might not realize it yet, but she wasn’t going to let him leave. If it meant tying him to her bed, then she’d do it.
Craig rose to his feet and she could feel his erection pressing against her lower back. He reached around and cupped her breasts. His large fingers rolled her sensitive nipples and lightly pinched them, teasing her more than actually hurting. Aiden remained on his knees before her, nuzzling her belly with openmouthed kisses. His hands gripped her hips and his thumbs stroked over the sensitive skin in front of her hip bones.
Craig cupped her jaw with one hand and gently turned her head so she looked up at him. “You’re not here, Brenna.”
“Yes, I am.” The last thing she wanted was for them to think she didn’t want this.
He shook his head and frowned at her. “A few moments ago you couldn’t speak, and now you can again. Whatever it is that’s rolling around your thoughts, I want you to forget about it.”
Forget that tomorrow Aiden plans to walk away from us? “I can’t.”
He leaned over her shoulder. “You have to,” he whispered against her lips. He knew her fears and shared them. Craig had managed to creep under her skin and into her heart. Not surprising, since he moved almost as quietly as Lars. Craig knew the stakes were high, and yet he grinned down at her. “Don’t underestimate yourself,” he whispered.
Aiden stroked his hand down her thigh and around the back of her knee. “Craig, hold her for me please?”
“My pleasure.” Craig’s grin turned sensual and his eyes darkened as he wrapped his hand around the back of her knee and lifted her leg up.
“What are you doing?” Brenna tried to set her leg down, but he wouldn’t loosen his grip.
“Are you feeling a little exposed, Brenna?” Aiden’s voice rumbled from between her legs. She felt his breath on her damp pussy and quivered in anticipation. She was feeling exposed in more ways than one. Her emotions lay bare for them. She turned her face from him, closed her eyes, and leaned her head back against Craig’s shoulder, but a sharp slap t
o her ass made them fly open.
“Keep them open, Brenna. Watch.”
At the same moment, Aiden glided his fingers between her legs and boldly stroked her pussy.
“Oh, god.” Her voice quivered, but Aiden didn’t seem to be hear her. He explored her cunt with fascination and pressed his fingers into her dripping entrance. He rubbed her internal walls, testing pressure points until she was gasping and her legs started to shake. He looked up and sucked his fingers into his mouth, then closed his eyes and moaned. He sounded feral and needy. Watching him lick her essence from his fingers was the most decadent vision she’d ever witnessed.
“Told you she tasted like vanilla cream.” Craig’s voice rumbled behind her, but she didn’t look back this time. Aiden met her gaze as he moved closer and flicked his tongue out against her clit. The touch hit her like a lightning bolt and she jumped. A resounding chuckle floated past her ear. “Pace yourself, Brenna. This isn’t a race. We’re planning on taking our time”—Craig’s words brushed against her ear—“and savoring every inch of you.”
Aiden grinned and then cupped her ass, pulling her closer to his face. He teased her with little flicks of his tongue. She pressed back against Craig, watching Aiden enjoy her pussy while Craig’s large hand was spread out over her abdomen. He slid his hand up to cup her breast, kissed her shoulders and back of her neck, but never lost the firm grip he had on her leg.
Aiden shifted himself closer and plunged a finger inside her as he sucked her clit into his mouth and flicked it rapidly with his tongue. “Oh, fuck.” She went up on her tiptoes, trying to get away from the intense feeling but craving it at the same time. The intense pleasure washed over her and she closed her eyes, getting lost in it.
“Oh, yeah, he’s got you now.” Craig’s words added an intoxicating layer to what was happening to her. She gripped Aiden’s hair with one hand and clenched Craig’s hip with the other. Her hips swirled against Aiden’s mouth. “Come hard for me, Brenna. I want all that delicious cream to coat you, because as soon as Aiden is done, I’m going to drive my cock deep inside you.”
Aiden pressed another finger into her as he plunged them in and out of her pussy, stretching her muscles, but she knew she would still feel the burn from Craig’s cock. She wanted them both and envisioned sucking on Aiden’s cock much the way he was doing to her cunt.
She moaned and wriggled in their arms, reaching for the orgasm that insisted on hanging just out of reach. Another sharp slap to her ass, and she cried out, loving the heat it created. “Come on, Brenna, come for us.” Another slap threw her to the edge, but it was the vibrations of Aiden growling against her pussy yanked her over.
“Oh yes, more…god.” Arching her body, she felt like every muscle seized at the same time. The intensity was a hot rush of pleasure making every muscle relax in its wake. Both men stroked and petted her as she felt herself lowered to the floor.
* * * *
Craig thought his cock was going to explode, he was so hard. Feeling Brenna come apart in his arms while Aiden feasted on her pussy was one of the most erotic things he’d ever seen. He knew she’d been struggling with past memories, but he didn’t care about that right now. Whatever happened in their pasts could stay the fuck there. He wanted this more than anything in his entire life. This was his chance at a happiness he’d been denied over and over as a child.
Brenna accepted him as he was and didn’t demand more than he could give. How could he not love her? Fuck. The realization made his hands shake and rocked him to the core. He would do anything to make her happy. She was his Mate, his everything, and he didn’t want to expose her to his past. Why add to the crap she was dealing with? He knew it was only a matter of time before she discovered- He shoved that thought away for now.
He and Aiden gently lowered her boneless body to the floor, but as soon as she was free to move she attacked Aiden. Watching her voraciously kiss Aiden, Craig waited to see if he’d feel jealous, but he didn’t. Her happiness was more important, and he was a patient man. He shucked his pants and tossed them to the side. When she parted from Aiden, she launched herself at him. Good thing he was already on his knees, because tasting Brenna’s pussy on her own lips would’ve dropped him. She wrapped her delicate hand around the top of his cock, teasing the head. He quickly gripped the base and squeezed tight. Having her fingers on him threw him to the limit of his endurance faster than he’d ever imagined. He almost came in her silky hand like an oversexed teenager.
She bit down on his pectoral muscle. The sharp nip from her teeth made his cock throb. She flicked the mark with her tongue, licking away the sting. Sweet, delicious arousal seasoned the air, and he could almost taste her against the back of his throat. She reminded him of brandy-soaked peaches over ice cream.
He gathered her up close to him and wrapped his hands over her ass and fit her perfectly against his groin. He rolled his hips and rubbed the length of his cock up against her cunt.
“Oh, fuck.” Her head tilted back, and she bared her throat to him. Sitting up, he pressed his lips against the pale, delicate skin. She whimpered, and he sucked some skin between his teeth and nipped at her. Her hips jerked against his cock as he rolled his hips slowly over the seam of her pussy. Before her delicate fingers could touch the scar tissue on his shoulder, he grabbed both her hands, pressed them together, and held them with one hand at the small of her back. She yanked against him and growled her displeasure, but her show of defiance ramped up his arousal.
In a move he practiced often, although usually he was subduing a suspect, he flipped Brenna facedown with her hands trapped behind her. He wrapped his arm around her torso, under her breasts. Her satiny skin rested against his forearm. “Don’t make me get my handcuffs, Brenna.” She practically melted and arched her body against his hand.
“I think you’re going to have to keep them on you at all times, Craig,” Aiden commented.
“Shut up, Aiden,” Brenna muttered, but it wasn’t convincing and comments like that were not helping his control at all. “On your hands and knees, Brenna.” He released her wrists from his grasp, and she dropped onto all fours. She tossed her hair and glanced over her shoulder at him.
“Now what, officer?”
Craig slapped her ass. “Show some respect.”
“Oh, yes, sir.” She moaned low in her throat and wiggled her ass at him. His handprint stood out in red relief next to her creamy white skin. Fuck, that looked incredible. Something dark inside him stirred at the sight of his mark on her skin.
“Give her another one on the other cheek, Craig.”
He lifted his hand and noticed it shook slightly. Hiding the response, he quickly slapped the fleshy part on the other side of her ass. His handprint appeared almost immediately, and he felt a crack in the iron control that was second nature to him.
“Craig, let it out.” Aiden’s words slammed into him, splitting the crack in his defenses even more. A low growl echoed in his head, and the creature surged up. Craig panicked, and the moment of sheer blissful freedom was slammed shut behind a wall of fear.
Brenna flipped her hair back over her shoulder and curiously peered back at him. Afraid she might see the chink in his armor, he slipped his fingers around the beautiful glistening cunt she was presenting him. She moaned again and her head dropped down. He could hear her panting.
“Brenna, show Aiden how much you want us both.” Craig inserted a second finger into her velvety cunt. He curled them slightly and stroked her, rubbing her G-spot.
She rocked her hips in time to his movements and then lifted her head. Aiden moved in front of her, and she wrapped her fingers around his cock. “Oh, sweet fuck.” Aiden’s head dropped back on his shoulders as Brenna sucked his cock into her mouth.
Craig lined his cock up with Brenna’s swollen entrance. He gritted his teeth as he pressed the head of his cock into molten heaven, her muscles clamping down around him. Fuck, she’s tight. He rocked against her, gaining inch by inch. Her body drenched him in
sweet cream, and he could feel the sweat run down his back.
He was trying to control his cock from exploding, and the beast inside him was howling for release. It found the crack, and he could feel its claws digging into the weakness. For a moment he almost pulled out of her because he feared once he sank completely into her, he’d lose all control. Sensing that it’d lost the battle, the creature sank back into the depths of his mind, and Craig grabbed Brenna’s hips and sank the last inches into her.
Cream coated his cock as he withdrew, and he scooped some up with his fingers, painting the dark red rosebud of her ass with it. His cock pulsed with the thought of Aiden and him taking her at the same time, sealing this bond between them. He thrust back and her body accommodated his girth as he rocked in and out.
Aiden had his hands wrapped in Brenna’s hair as he guided himself in and out of her mouth. Craig could see the intensity in the way Aiden watched what she was doing. Brenna was making the sweetest sounds as he pushed back into her. He massaged the little star that was clenching in time to his strokes. “You like this, don’t you, Brenna?”
He pressed his thumb against the tight little opening and heard her low passionate growl around Aiden’s cock. Aiden shuddered and then pumped into her mouth a little faster. “Oh, fuck, man. Whatever you’re doing to her, don’t stop.” Aiden’s voice was much lower than normal when he growled out the words.
Craig pressed his thumb into her ass as he withdrew his cock and pulled his thumb out when he pushed back in. Brenna’s growls were almost continual as he moved in and out of her slick sheath.
“Oh, Brenna, I can’t stop. Let go.” Aiden curled over her, resting a hand on her back as his hips jerked a few times, and he groaned low in his throat.
Craig almost laughed out loud when Aiden flopped back against the rug. Brenna looked over her shoulder at him. Behind her eyes flickered something not quite human. She looked at him as if she expected him to beg for release, but he was the one in control here. “I don’t think so.” He accepted the unspoken dare and pulled her back against him, driving his cock deep and hard. She cried out and her shoulders dropped slightly.
