It was just after noon when Spring began pushing. Autumn found herself forcing away negative thoughts to maintain her professionalism as the first twin made his appearance. Adam cut the cord and Autumn handed the squalling infant to Michael, who stood at the ready with a towel.
Almost as soon as she’d handed him off, the second baby slipped free from his mother’s body. Brock cut the cord, and she then handed the baby to Thomas. For the first time all day, she was glad for their help. That way she could focus on taking care of her sister.
After the grandfathers cleaned them up in accordance with yet another ancient Sullivan family tradition, the husbands carried the still-crying babies out of the room. The rest of the men followed, allowing Bridget and Autumn to get Spring and the birthing bed cleaned up.
All too soon the men returned en masse. Adam and Brock laid the babies in Spring’s arms then settled on either side of her, just as they had been during her labor. Michael and Thomas took Bridget’s hands and led her out of the room without a word, but with expressions that said they would be spending the afternoon behind locked doors.
When Evan and Frank took her hands to follow their parents out of the room, she planted her feet and held firm. “I can’t. I need to be here. What if something happens?”
Evan wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head. “Shhh, you’ll wake the babies. Nothing’s going to happen. You did it. You brought two new souls into the world, and everything went perfectly.”
The awe in his tone went a long way to healing her shattered spirit. He was right. She had done her job and done it well. She deserved a little playtime.
“Besides,” Frank said softly, leaning in to kiss her cheek, “Mom and the dads are upstairs. We won’t be far away. If something happens, they’ll ring the bell and get us back here. Right now, your mates need you.”
She looked into his eyes and saw the heated glow of hunger and immediately her clit puffed up and her nipples stiffened in response. All at once, all she could think about was having her mates together. She pulled out of Evan’s arms and headed through the house as fast as she could without running.
Once they were outside and alone, she turned to look at her men. They were so good-looking and had been so patient with her this morning, doing everything she asked without a single grumble of complaint. Her face burning, she asked, “Will you take me together? Like you talked about this morning? And bite my neck again?”
The brothers blinked and their expressions went totally blank. “Is that what you really want?” Evan asked, sounding hesitantly.
Autumn nodded. “I want us all to be together. I love you both and need to show you. Please?”
“Of course, ladybug. Anything you want,” Frank said.
Before she could move, Evan bent and put a shoulder into her middle before standing again. Before she could complain about being carried like a sack of grain, he took off running and all she could do was grab his belt and hang on.
Instead of heading to their cabin, they took off in the other direction into the forest that surrounded Sanctuary. They moved faster than a normal human, but Autumn’s body did not appreciate hanging upside down.
“Evan, you’ve got to put me down,” she begged.
“Hang on, sweetness, we’re almost there,” he said.
Autumn closed her eyes, but that only made the disorientation worse, so instead, she opened them and stared at Evan’s denim- covered ass. Releasing his belt, she slid her hands down and began to fondle the muscles as he walked. That elicited a growl from the man holding her. When she slid one hand down between his legs, cupped his cock and balls, and slowly tightened her grip, he stopped.
“All right, all right, I get it,” he said as he bent and set her on her feet. “Besides, we’re here. I told you it was just a few minutes more.”
When he straightened and stepped away, Autumn gasped. They were on a small outcropping of rocks. Turning a circle, one side of the small space looked out over a valley and the shorter mountain peaks beyond. On the other side of the cliff, the mountain went straight up and out of sight overhead. There was a wide, shallow cave where she saw a pile of blankets and a picnic basket.
Turning to her men, she asked, “It’s beautiful. Where are we?” Autumn turned and threw herself at Frank, who caught her and hugged her.
“This is our special place. All the brothers have staked out their own places around here. We come up here to think or get away and be alone,” Frank explained.
“I love it. Thank you for sharing it with me.” Autumn turned and hugged Evan.
“Of course we’d share it with you. You are our mate,” he said, embracing her solidly before she stepped back.
“You know, there’s one thing you haven’t shown me,” she said, planting her hands on her hips.
“And what’s that?” they asked in unison.
“You’ve never shown me what you look like in your other form. Will you do that for me?”
“After you eat some lunch,” Evan promised with a grin.
“Yeah,” Frank added, “because once we get naked, our minds won’t be on anything but pleasing you.”
At that promise, a shiver of heat and awareness raced down Autumn’s spine then out until she felt feverish. “Then let’s eat ‘cause I’m starving…and for more than just food.”
She winked at her mates then turned toward the cave. Before she could do anything to set out their picnic, her men were already there, spreading blankets, opening the basket, and laying out the food. All she had to do was sit down and enjoy.
After the previous evening’s dinner, she wasn’t expecting much more than a peanut butter sandwich and would have been happy to have it. When Evan handed her a fork and a plate with chicken salad, pasta salad, and a colorful coleslaw on it, she was shocked.
“When did you have time to cook?” she asked as she started eating, suddenly ravenous.
Her men looked sheepish. “We didn’t. The dads did. As you saw last night, we’re not really much on cooking,” Evan said as he and Frank filled their plates as well. “Mom tried, but we’d rather be making furniture.”
That led Autumn to ask a few of the “get to know you” questions she had been collecting since meeting the two men. She also answered questions, finding that she felt more comfortable with them than she had ever felt with anyone before. By the time they’d finished, she felt more happy and relaxed than she had in her entire life. Though tempted to take a nap, she also found herself horny and needing to be with her mates in the most intimate way three people could be together.
Once the food was gone, the brothers quickly packed everything away then began undressing. There in the sunlight, out in the open, Autumn marveled again at the perfection of her men’s bodies as they came into view.
Before she could touch either of them, the air around them shimmered. She gasped when they disappeared and in their places were two of the biggest, hairiest dogs she’d ever seen. They stood across the blanket not moving, waiting for her to react.
“Oh, wow,” she said as she stood and slowly took the few steps that separated them.
As she did whenever meeting a new animal, she held out her hands, palms down, for them to smell. She’d always loved dogs—the bigger the better. Instead of sniffing at her hands, the two dogs stepped forward and nudged them until she began petting them.
“That’s amazing,” she said as she began to scratch behind their ears. Every dog she’d ever met had loved that sort of attention, so she figured they would as well.
She giggled as the dogs made happy sounds in response to her touch. Knowing these beasts belonged to her turned her on, even though she’d never have sex with them in this form. Everything in her tied to sex pulsed, and all she wanted was to fuck her men.
“Change back,” she requested, lifting her hands from their necks to tweak her nipples.
The air shimmered again and the dogs were gone. Her men were on all fours looking up at her like they wanted not
hing more than to eat her alive.
“Get those clothes off, ladybug, or you’ll be going back to Sanctuary naked,” Frank said as he pushed to his feet.
Autumn nodded and stripped out of her clothes, her need making her clumsy. When she overbalanced as she tried to kick off her sneakers at the same time she pushed down her pants, Evan caught her.
“Slow down, sweetness. We have all afternoon and all night. Hell, we have the rest of our lives.” He leaned in and kissed her before helping her get out of the rest of her clothes.
“Maybe so, but I’m about to implode from wanting you,” she admitted with a wide grin.
“Mmmm, sounds like someone needs some serious relaxation therapy,” Frank said, moving in behind her.
Autumn sighed as he held her hips still so he could rub his body all over her back and ass.
The brothers helped her back down onto the blanket before joining her. When four hands and two mouths began licking, kissing and rubbing all over her skin, Autumn could do nothing. With a moan that started at her toes, she gave herself over to their care, knowing they would never hurt her.
As if they felt her capitulation, Evan pulled her over so she lay sprawled across his chest. He continued kissing her even as she shifted and squirmed until she felt the head of his cock brush against her open, wet pussy. As she did, he traced random patterns down her spine.
Though she’d momentarily lost track of Frank, she knew he would not be far away. Evan cupped his hands over her ass cheeks and began to massage them as he shifted her down until just the head of his cock entered her pussy. Then he halted and continued kneading the globes of her ass, easing them farther apart. Knowing what was coming, she fought the instinct to move away.
A moment later, she felt a cold, wet finger trace down the crease until it circled her puckered star. Then she felt Frank’s other hand rub up her spine, then back down again in a gesture that soothed even as it added fuel to her arousal. Suddenly, all she wanted was both of her men in her filling her with everything they had.
“Try to relax, ladybug,” Frank murmured as his finger began to push for entrance into her ass.
Autumn took a deep breath and released it as the finger eased into her. Once he’d breached her, he slid deep and twisted, sending waves of pleasure pulsing out from that tiny hole. A long minute later, he pulled nearly all the way out then eased a second one in as well. A pleasure-pain rippled through Autumn, adding to the need to fuck something.
Fighting the need to move, Autumn looked at Evan with wide eyes. “I need more,” she panted.
“I know, sweetness. Let Frank get one more finger in your sweet, sweet ass so he doesn’t hurt you when he fucks you,” Evan said, lifting his head.
Autumn sucked a breath and whined when Frank added more icy- cold lube to her ass before sliding in a third finger. He eased the trio in and out, twisting from side to side, sending her even higher into arousal.
She began to rock back and forth, forcing more of Evan’s cock into her pussy while moving back to meet Frank’s gentle thrusts. As she moved, her pebble-hard nipples dragged through the hair on Evan’s chest, adding more fuel to the blaze that was burning her from the inside out.
“More,” she begged. She pushed down on Evan’s cock until he was fully seated inside her. “Need. More.”
“Frank, you’d better hurry your ass up, or we’re going to blow without you,” Evan ordered gruffly as his hands slid from her ass around to wrap around her hips.
“Yeah, okay, I’m there,” Frank said.
Autumn lifted her head when he pulled his fingers from her ass, but before she had time to whine a complaint, he’d replaced them with the blunted head of his cock.
“Okay, ladybug, take a deep breath, relax this sexy ass, and let me in,” he growled as he steadily pushed past the newly stretched ring of muscle.
Autumn did as he said but still gasped at the pleasure-pain his cock caused as it stretched her muscles. Then she moaned at the overfull feeling from having both pussy and ass filled with cock.
“Oh, fuck, she’s tight. I’m not going to last long,” Frank said as he settled fully into her and then froze to give her time to adjust.
But she didn’t want to adjust. She wanted them to fuck her. “Move, dammit,” she growled, trying to shift her body between theirs.
The brothers did not respond to her demand.
“Oh, fuck, please move,” she begged several heartbeats later.
She met Evan’s inquisitive glance with a pleading one of her own. He looked over her shoulder and nodded. “Do it, brother,” he said, his voice deep as a cellar and rough as pine bark.
Autumn sighed with pleasure as the brothers began to move. First one and then the other slid out and then back in again. Their actions were slow at first, then gained momentum and strength as her hips began to move in counterpoint to theirs. She climbed higher and higher, moving faster and faster, needing more and more. Then she reached it. She touched ecstasy and screamed with the pleasure of it.
A pair of deep growling howls followed as both men’s cocks slammed home, filling pussy and ass completely. Their cries had barely died away when her men leaned in and she felt sharp pains at both sides of her neck where it joined her shoulders as they claimed her again. Her body reacted by flipping into another, even more intense orgasm. She lay on Evan’s chest completely limp and boneless as the brothers pulled their teeth from her skin and licked the wounds closed.
Frank rested heavily on her for a moment then lifted off and eased his cock from her ass. She made a sound of protest, then another when Evan left her as well. She felt Frank clean her up but didn’t have the energy to complain. She felt too good, too relaxed, too at peace with herself and the universe to bitch about being taken care of by her mates.
“Autumn? You okay?”
“Mmmm.” She tried to lift her head, but her muscles didn’t respond.
“I’d say that’s a yes,” Evan snarked.
She didn’t fight as he rolled them so they lay side by side on the blanket. She sighed when Frank lay down on her other side. Knowing her men were close by, Autumn closed her eyes and dozed. Her dreams were filled, not with the horrors of her past, but with hopes for the future and a set of her own little shape-shifter twin babies.
When she woke again, she sat up and stared out at the mountains softened by the haze that gave the Smoky Mountains their name. As her men slumbered on either side of her, she realized that her father had been right. She had found what she’d been looking for in Sanctuary. She’d found healing and love and a reason to get up in the morning.
When the two sleeping men shifted and reached out as if searching for her, she laid back down and, with a contented smile, went back to dreaming of the glorious life she would have with her mates.
