“I hadn’t thought of that.” Casey took a sip of beer. “So there’s…a whole world out there of people like you.”
“Shifters. Yep.” He looked up. “Nathaniel’s coming to talk to you. I’ll go check on the burgers.”
“How are you?” Nathaniel asked as he arrived.
“I’m going to have a pretty righteous bruise from the shotgun, but otherwise okay.” Casey smiled up at him. “How are you?”
“I’ll be all right. You got all of the major things.” He gave a rueful smile at his arms; peppered with Band-Aids. “And as you saw, I heal quickly.”
“Ridiculously quickly,” Casey agreed. “So…what happened out there?”
“You remember all that stuff your dad told you about wolves? Well, it’s usually true…but lately, around here; the wolves are getting bolder. Every year, a few more farmers were reporting livestock gone, people were reporting that they lost their pets, kids were saying they saw wolves in the woods.” He sighed and rubbed his head. “Well, that wolf you saw, the white one—he wasn’t just a shifter; he was a mage, too. He was doing something to the native wolves around here, changing them and their instincts. And he was part of the spell, there was no undoing it without him agreeing to, or dying. We told him what he was doing wasn’t natural, that we’d stop him if he didn’t stop it on his own. And he’s been out for us ever since. Today, he thought he’d caught me alone. And he sent real wolves, not shifters, to make a point.” He sighed heavily. “They didn’t have to die.”
“I’m sorry,” Casey murmured.
“It’s not your fault. They’d been turned into monsters. Nothing anyone did would have kept them from attacking. But maybe…maybe the ones that are left will turn back into what they were.” He looked over at her, draining the last of his beer. “Thank you for coming out there. I hoped you wouldn’t, but it was a close fight, even with James and Victor. If you hadn’t been there; I don’t know what would have happened.”
“I’m glad you’re safe.” Casey leaned back in her seat and crossed her legs, letting her eyes drift over the muscles in his arms and across his chest.
He noticed, and his eyes darkened with desire.
“Come with me.”
“But James—”
“Come on.” He pulled her into the house and up the stairs, stripping off his shirt when they reached the landing and pinning her against the wall. One kiss and her knees went weak. “So, one thing to know about shifters…”
“Yes?” His fingers were undoing the buttons on her shirt, and hers were tangling with his belt buckle.
“They have exceptionally good hearing.” He smiled down at her. “So you’re going to need to be very quiet.” His eyes locked on hers and his smile grew as he trailed a finger down between her legs, watching her bite her lip to keep from gasping. “Good.”
He picked her up and tossed her onto the bed, dragging her shorts off and smiling appreciatively at the lacey thong she was wearing.
“Very nice.”
“Your turn.” She shrugged out of her shirt and watched hungrily as he slipped off his pants and briefs, and bit her lip when she saw him at last. “Also, uh…very nice.”
“You should be naked,” he said lazily. He watched as her panties and bra came off, smiling, and then he crawled onto the bed with her, kissing her as his fingers slid between her legs again. She arched when he parted her. His thumb found her clit and stroked it gently, and his fingers slipped easily inside.
“So wet already.”
Casey bit back a moan.
“Good girl.” But he shifted, kissing down her torso and along the curve of her hip, tracing it with his lips and tongue before bending to put his head between her legs.
“Oh, no fair.” She whimpered when his tongue parted her. He was kissing, licking, stroking as his fingers thrust into her, and she bit down on her own fingers to keep from moaning again.
“Tell me what you want, Casey. Tell me what you want me to do to you.”
“Please don’t stop,” she whispered, her back arched. She was not going to be able to stay quiet much longer if he kept going like this.
He must have known it, too, because his fingers withdrew and his lips trailed up. His kisses traced around the curve of her breast, and his tongue flicked at her nipple. When she gasped aloud, his hand came down over her mouth.
“I think you might be quieter with something in your mouth,” he suggested. His grin turned into a gasp of his own when her hands found him, and he lay back as she moved.
She licked up the length of him, circling the tip with her tongue and kissing it before taking him in her mouth. She couldn’t close to fit the length of him, but she took him as deep as she could, tongue and lips working, little moans starting in her throat when she saw him clench his hands to stay silent.
When she straddled him, he held himself rigid while she sank down onto his cock. His eyes were open to slits, and he looked pleased to see her gasp at the size of him. She moved her hips cautiously, and he groaned as she rode him, his hands clenching around her ass.
“More.” A command, and she felt herself clench around him at the sound of it.
“Yes…sir.”
He growled at that and flipped her over, pinning her hands over her head as he drove into her. Casey bit her lip to muffle her cries. He was driving deep, grinding his hips against her so that she shivered with pleasure, and she was writhing, moving her hips to beg for more. It would never be enough, she was sure. She wanted more of him; she wanted him to ride her hard. She wanted to make him come.
“Turn over,” he whispered in her ear.
“Yes, sir.”
“You keep doing that,” he muttered, “and I will be very tempted to make you scream my name.”
“Mmm.” Casey settled on her stomach and lifted her hips. She bit her lips when he slipped his fingers inside her, parting her for his cock.
He fucked her slowly, just like he’d promised earlier, and Casey felt herself melting at each stroke. She was pressing her hips back. His hand covered her mouth, and she could hear his harsh breathing in her ear. Each thrust was slow, and she whimpered against his fingers when he withdrew.
Slowly, so slowly she could barely be sure of it, his pace increased. He drove harder, faster into her, and Casey spread her legs to let him go deeper. She could feel her pleasure rising, urgency building each time he thrust into her, and from his faint growl in her ear, she knew he felt the same.
It seemed forever that her pleasure built, but they both tipped over the edge unexpectedly, in a moment. His lips found hers as she came, and pleasure spiraled outwards, making her mind go blank as she spasmed around him. Their hips were still moving, greedy for more even as they reached their climax.
When the world came back to normal, Casey heard him laugh, low in his throat.
“Perfect,” he murmured. He rolled away, and then held out his arms so she could nestle against him.
“Perfect,” she agreed.

Menage Romance
About the Book
Both hot, both tempting, both with a secret that they’ve never told their best friend Mari.
Felix is brooding, mysterious, and full of tales he’s yet to tell Mari. She wants to know those secrets, she wants to pull them out of him over long nights of long glances and deep kisses.
Then there’s Gage. Care-free and light to Felix’s dark. An open book, but is there a hint of shadow in his oh so tempting eyes? Are there secrets there he’s never spoken of either?
Mari knew if she was to have either she would have to make a choice. But why does she have to make that choice? Why can’t she have both? With an impish smile, an idea in place, and two weeks of travel by motorcycle to work with surely she could find a way to make the idea work?
As Mari, Felix, and Gage travel the roads through the forests of California Mari’s desire grows, as does Felix and Gage’s. Mari’s
managed to get them to look past the hard part, getting them to see her as more than just a little sister. Can she now convince them that two lovers are better than one?
As the journey continues the trio start to explore far more than just the open roads and rest stops that California has to offer. Will a bump in the road in the form of a missing phone stop the trip? And will the reappearance of that phone, with pictures of the trio which they didn’t take, be a signal that there is far more danger in the mountains of California than a stray bear?
Chapter One
“Felix, we’ve just launched our best package yet and it’s flying off the interweb shelves, what are we going to do to celebrate? And if you say we’re going to a theme park I will punch you!” A man with straight white teeth, sandy brown hair down to his nape, brilliant green eyes, and a mouth with full lips spoke to Felix.
His best friend, Gage, had finally arrived in the office then. Felix turned to the man the women in the office called the devilish fox and grinned.
“If I know you, my friend, it’s going to involve adventure and not a lot of sleep.” Felix said with a broad grin, holding out his hand.
He didn’t know it but those same women that called Gage, his business partner, the devilish fox, called him their future baby daddy. The two men were enough to set tongues wagging across the state they were so excruciatingly hot. Well-built, tall, and handsome both men were oblivious to their looks and exuded a charm that set the elastic in many sets of panties to disintegrating.
“First, have you talked to Larkin yet?” Gage asked as the two walked away and the panties in the room went back to their normal state.
“Yeah, she’s in, on the condition that it’s not going to take longer than two weeks and she can stay in contact with her oh so demanding clients.” Felix answered, taking a seat at his desk, his whiskey brown eyes warm with humor.
Gage sat down in a comfortable chair in front of the desk after shutting the office door and propped his feet up on the desk. A pair of black leather cowboy boots covered his long feet. Felix ignored the boots and looked into his friend’s green eyes.
“So what are we doing then?” Felix prompted, excitement filling him.
“Well, it’s not every day we make over three million dollars. So I thought we needed something truly epic.” Gage answered, placing a piece of paper on Felix’s desk.
Felix picked up the paper, noticing it was a map with dots mapped out on it.
“What’s this then?” He asked, confused.
“Follow me.” Gage responded, leaving the office to head outside.
The two men left their building, a two story modern complex of black granite and glass. Their employees were mature enough to keep working, experts in their fields that didn’t need too much direction, and satisfied with their pay and benefits that the two men offered, that Gage and Felix really only needed to call in occasionally but still came in for the benefit of helping out.
In the parking lot sat a brand new motorcycle. A breath-taking paint job of black and blue dragons setting off nicely against the chrome, v-twin engine toting sex symbol. Felix gasped, in love already. Felix liked the ladies, he spent a lot of time with them but this toy, oh this toy did things to him that he didn’t think a woman possibly could ever do.
“You bought this?” He asked, looking the machine over carefully, squatting down to his own boot covered feet, stretching his tight jeans across his bottom nicely.
“Yep, we both got our licenses this year but neither of us have bikes yet. I do, now it’s your turn. And somehow we have to convince our pal Mari Larkin to come along for the ride. She was there at the beginning; she has to be there when we celebrate the fruition of our dreams, man. She doesn’t have a license to drive one of these but she can ride with both of us one at a time. I want us to travel up to the northern part of California, travelling through the forests and the hills. A chance to renew our energies, to find ourselves once more and stay grounded.” Gage began but Felix cut him off.
“Alright, alright, please, stop your impersonation of a motorcycle salesman now, Gage, please. Let’s go find me one then.” Felix said, heading back into his office to let his administrative assistant know he was leaving and wouldn’t be back in. “I can’t let you have one of these on your own. Let’s take my car.”
Five hours, and several thousand dollars, later the two men arrived at Mari’s office, a smaller building stuck in an older brick structure outside of Silicon Valley. Mari was proving successful in her own right but preferred the old buildings to more modern structures. The two men pulled their motorcycles up out of the viewing area of the large window in the front of the office and sauntered into Mari’s office, black leather chaps, new motorcycle boots, and black leather jackets accentuating their physiques.
Mari glanced up when they came in, glanced back at her computer monitor, and then looked back up again, her jaw dropping.
“Felix? Gage? Why are you two dressed up like you’re about to take part in a really bad movie about two guys on a road trip?” She asked, coming around her desk in the open office, heading straight for her two very gorgeous friends.
Mari’s tall, slightly plump, but curvy in all of the right places frame came around her desk as she eyed the men up. A look of apprehension came on her face as she realized these outfits were indicative of a plan, a plan that obvious included her if their grins were any kind of warning. And those grins were definitely a warning.
Mari’s left eyebrow came up as she looked at them and she started backing up.
“No, no, no, no, no. You are not getting me on a motor cycle with you pair of lunatics!” Mari kept backing up until she hit her chair with the back of her legs. Mari let herself fall into the seat, a sudden wave of excitement passing through her despite her words.
Gage and Felix had been her best friends since she’d first moved to California from Iowa eight hundred years ago. Alright, a bit of an exaggeration on her part, but it felt like it sometimes. They’d all been roommates their first year in the Silicon Valley area and Mari had sat back and watched, pleased, as all of their stars began to rise. She’d never dreamed how far the boys would go and she was so proud of both of them.
Mari hadn’t done so bad herself, owning her own business in the IT field with a long list of celebrity clients just waiting for her newest creations to play with. Mari wrote code for games and new software, the same as the boys, but her products went to a more elite clientele, Gage and Felix’s went out for mass distribution. Mari was happy with the difference, and felt just as capable as the boys. Two weeks on the back of a motorcycle just sounded like blisters and a sore ass though, and she didn’t want to go along.
Gage and Felix pleaded with her however and after getting a good look at their bottoms through those chaps, she changed her mind. She was going, and perhaps, just maybe, she’d now get a chance to make one of them her own. Or perhaps both.
Mari had developed a crush on both men when they first met, though she’d never spoken about it to anyone, and had waited patiently, hoping one of them would notice her. She’d had many a hot session on her own imagining what she could do with both men, and each one separately. Mari wanted to use this time to make these men see her for what she was, a woman with needs. For them.
Perhaps an odd leap, Mari thought to herself, but one she’d become comfortable with. After all, they lived in California. Mainstream wasn’t exactly a well-known word around here. People went for the odd, the extreme, and the extraordinary. That and a few friends in the porn industry had suggested it to Mari a long time ago upon seeing both men.
“Oh Mari,” Veronica had said. “I’d let those two tag team me anytime. Why aren’t you in bed with them now?”
A very shocked Mari hadn’t responded but her brain had with a heartfelt “yes, both at once please!” The idea was one that normally wouldn’t cross her mind but when it came to Gage and Felix, well, normal just wasn’t part of the game. They’d never really shown anything othe
r than brotherly love to her, however, and that was frustrating.
Mari’s cheeks flamed two days later as she packed a small bag, knowing they wouldn’t be able to carry much on the bikes. She’d gone out and bought herself some gear to make the ride more comfortable and to show off her own assets. Leather chaps, boots, and her own jacket sculpted her round full ass, her large full breasts were squeezed into a jacket, and her black hair was tied up, ready for a helmet to smash it down.
She was as ready as she was ever going to be for this ride and if the appreciative looks the men gave her as she walked out of the door of her condo were any indication her plan was working.
“Who gets me first?” Mari asked, the question innocent but the look in her eyes teasing, daring. Gage gulped as he looked at her, his thoughts obvious to her as his eyes moved from the bottom of her feet, over her hips made for holding onto, along her tempting waist, and up to her very blue eyes.
“You’re with me first, my bike has a backrest, it’ll be easier on you. Then with Felix.” Gage looked confused for a moment, looking at Mari, but then he shook it off.
Gage stowed her bag in the trailer Felix was towing and she hopped on behind him onto the narrow seat in the back. Yeah, this was going to get painful after a while, she thought. But the seat was comfortable for now, the backrest allowing her to relax just a tad.
“I’ve never been on one of these before, you know.” Mari said into the microphone in the helmet she’d bought after Gage set it up to work with his.
“Oh, well, it’s like, uh, riding a bike Mari. Once and you never forget it. Or did you mean something else?” Gage tentatively teased, not sure about this new Mari that had greeted them as they pulled up.
The trio had often teased each other but that’s all it was, right? Mari was hot, had always been hot, and Gage would have made a play for her but she’d never seemed interested before. Now, here she was, tempting, teasing, and hot as sin. Gage shifted, trying to ease some of the tightness as his thoughts turned just a little saucy as Mari’s legs came up behind his, drawing him to her hot center from behind.
