  “That’s wonderful.” Jen leaned closer. “You look upset though.”

  In telling the story, she’d twisted her fingers into a painful knot. She unhooked them and slipped her hands under her butt. “They refused to come back. They’re insisting they continue to fight The Sword.”

  Jen’s forehead wrinkled. “Are you surprised?”

  She sank back on the sofa. “No, but both men could have died. Can’t you ask Hunter or Derek to call them back?”

  Jen huffed out a laugh. “Even if I did intercede, neither Hunter nor Derek would do something like that. It would be emasculating.”

  “Emasculating?”

  “The Shield is everything to these men. It’s why Hunter picked them in the first place to replace Jeremiah and Mario.”

  “Kendis was able to convince her men to quit.”

  Jen shook her head. “No, she wasn’t. Deep in his heart Jeremiah knew that he’d be happier exploring his life. It was time for him to move on. Your men are just beginning theirs.” Her eyes widened. “You’re not thinking of abandoning them, are you?”

  She blinked to push away the tears. “I already have.”

  “But you’re their mate.”

  “Everyone keeps telling me that. I’m not going to be with them just because if I don’t, they’ll live the rest of their lives alone. Hell, they probably don’t have much longer to live anyway.”

  Jen moved over to the couch and pulled Julia’s hand out from under her. “Listen. My men could die tomorrow, too, but you don’t see me running away. As for Kendis’s men, hell, if there was an out-and-out rebellion, I can guarantee you both Mario and Jeremiah would be the first ones to volunteer.”

  As would her own dads. “So you’re saying I should pull up my big-girl panties and get over my fear of losing them?”

  “Yes.”

  “I’ve tried and I’ve failed.”

  “Well, try harder.” Her sympathy seemed to have dried up. “Let me ask you this. Do you really love them?”

  She didn’t have to think. “With my whole heart.”

  “So you’re willing to throw away the best experience in your life for the possibility that they won’t be around in two hundred years?”

  When she put it that way, the answer did seem obvious. “I guess that was what I was doing.”

  “Well, girlfriend, you need to get your priorities straight.”

  Clearly, it was time for some self-reflection. “I’ll work on it. Thanks.” Julia stood.

  What her friend said made sense, but she needed to think about whether she wanted to live a life worrying every single day of her life and have amazing sex, or be alone.

  As she drove home, her mind flashed to the restful day when the three of them painted, and then to how carefree they had been when they hoisted her up in a climbing harness and teased her to a point of blowing her mind. She couldn’t forget the wonderful balloon ride and the champagne breakfast that followed.

  Suppose she did ask them to quit and they did. Would she respect them? Fighting was in their blood. Damn. She wasn’t liking the way this one-sided conversation was headed. The night sky was clear as she parked in the garage and headed inside.

  Loneliness greeted her. Maybe she should imagine what her life would be like if she’d never make love with them again and see if she could handle the answer.

  Julia hadn’t even gotten into the shower before she knew. The future was too bleak without them. While her mom fretted over her husbands’ well-being, Julia knew that given the choice of being with danger seekers and being alone, her mom had chosen well.

  Maybe it was the fact that they did seek out danger that made her attracted to them. Damn. Here, she ended up falling in love with the one type of man she’d avoided her whole life. No matter how much precaution she took, sometimes love came whether she wanted it or not.

  Feeling better after her shower, she called Breck as promised.

  “Hey, beautiful.”

  She laughed, feeling free for the first time in forever.

  * * * *

  The next two weeks were horrible. Waiting for the men to come home tore a hole in her gut, but hearing their voices each night helped get her through. Three days ago, Breck and Daven had located The Sword’s headquarters and recruited some of the other panther shifters. With the extra help, they had destroyed many of The Sword’s computers and trashed their weapons. While little blood was shed, it would set back The Sword’s terrorist focus for a while.

  Finally, the day came when Breck and Daven would be coming back home, and she couldn’t wait to welcome them with open arms and open legs.

  Hunter had called and asked if she wanted to be at her men’s house when they arrived. They was going to be a ceremony commending them for their bravery that evening, but he thought it might be a nicer homecoming for them if she were there to greet them properly when they arrived. Jen had probably been the one to come up with the plan, but Julia loved the idea. To get ready, she’d stopped at Tanya’s Sex Shop for some real sexy underwear that she hoped would wow them.

  To make it more of a surprise, Julia had parked her car in back so the men wouldn’t know she was there. Every few minutes she peeked out the window, hoping to see them arrive. She’d almost given up when the crunch of tires sounded on the drive.

  Oh, shit. She hadn’t figured out where she wanted to stand when they walked in the door. Wearing a bra with the nipples cut out and a skimpier pair of crotchless panties, she hoped she wouldn’t give one of them a heart attack. Not wanting to be seen by some passerby when they came in, she hid behind the door. She’d pop out and surprise them as they entered.

  It seemed to take forever for them to get in. The key turned and her mouth watered, as she thought about licking their cocks. Both seemed to be sharing some good news, as they were laughing when they stepped inside. She was a little surprised they didn’t notice her right away, as they’d have been attuned to her scent.

  They must have been teasing her. “Welcome home, boys.”

  They slowly put down their suitcases and rotated around. She wanted to run toward them and throw herself in their arms, but she held still.

  Despite their eyes twinkling, Breck looked over at Daven. “Do you know this woman?”

  “No. I don’t, but I sure would like to.” He grabbed his crotch. “I got something I’d like to show you, little girl. You wanna play?”

  She’d missed their teasing too much and sprinted toward them. She didn’t know whose arms she wanted to throw herself into first, but her men took that decision out of her hands. They both hugged and kissed her at the same time. Daven slipped a finger into her pussy just as Breck lowered his head and sucked hard on her nipple.

  “Wait,” she said.

  “Wait?” Daven’s eyes widened. “I don’t think I can. You are the tastiest morsel I’ve had in forever.”

  “I want to take this slow and savor both of you.”

  They groaned in unison. “We’ve had a long drive,” Breck said. “How about we all take a shower together and then get reacquainted.

  Daven stepped forward. “I want to take off your pretty outfit with my teeth and tongue.”

  Breck nudged him. “You won’t last that long. You’ve been moaning the whole drive down about sinking your cock into her pretty ass.”

  He shrugged. “True.”

  She laughed at their antics. “I’m willing to shower with you two only if you allow me the honor of sucking on your cocks first.”

  “Babe, we aren’t made of steel.”

  “Could have fooled me. You two get pretty hard.”

  They both laughed. “You’re on. Let’s get wet.”

  Chapter Fifteen

  Daven carried her into the bathroom, probably to show her that his strength had returned and set her on the bath mat. She had to marvel at his resiliency.

  “Didn’t I hear someone say they wanted to take off my clothes with their teeth and tongue?”

  Daven dropped to hi
s knees and swiped a tongue across her pussy. Streaks of pleasure pierced her. It had been too long since she’d had sex, and dreaming about these men for the last few weeks had only made it worse. She was desperate. At least if she climaxed, she’d recover fast enough to come over and over again. With what she had in mind, there was no doubt she’d be having many orgasms.

  Wanting to get them naked, she wiggled her fingers for Breck to come near, but since Daven was in the way, Breck moved behind her. He unhooked the back of her bra, but instead of lowering the straps, he cupped her breasts over the material and pinched her nipples. Her juices flowed even as Davon licked her pussy.

  Her moans came out too fast. “I want to get you two naked.”

  Breck nibbled on her ear. “No way. Thinking about having you in my arms has been what’s gotten us through these hard times. Our little mate needs to learn that patience will be rewarded.”

  She didn’t question his comment about her being their mate. Right now, all she could think of was what they were doing to her body. She dropped back her head. “I think patience is overrated. How about if we have some mind-blowing sex first, then exercise some patience?”

  That made him laugh. “Babe, we have so much to teach you about the art of making love.”

  “Then teach away.”

  As Breck plucked and twisted her nipples, she couldn’t help but wiggle her hips. Daven clamped down on her thighs and leaned back.

  “Stand still.”

  That command she couldn’t honor. “I want you too much.”

  Daven stood. “If we’re going to shower, we better start or else Julia here is going to explode.”

  “Come on. You can’t tell me you aren’t in equal need.” Their cocks were nearly pushing out of the top of their jeans.

  “You’re right, kitten.” He ripped his shirt over his head and tossed it on the vanity.

  The sight of his body made her want him all that much more. Had Breck not been still playing with her nipples, she would have helped Daven out of his jeans.

  She stepped away from Breck. “It’s only fair for me to touch you.”

  Breck twisted her around to face him. “Have at me.”

  She wanted them both, but since Daven was busy taking off his clothes, she’d oblige Breck. Getting his shirt off was easy. She added it to Daven’s on the vanity. Now came the fun part. Her knuckle brushed against the head of his cock and she slipped her fingers under his waistband to unhook the top button.

  A drop of blood squirted down his chin. “Your fangs are showing.”

  Breck’s lids lowered. “I can’t help myself. When I’m with you, I want you so much my inner beast comes out.”

  Would this be the day they both sunk their teeth into her body and claimed her as theirs for life? Daven had claimed her, but so far Breck hadn’t.

  “You need to have patience.” It was fun to toss that comment back at him.

  “Hurry. I’m not sure how much longer I can wait.”

  From the way he huffed out his words, he’d have to work hard to keep from climaxing. “Kick off your shoes.”

  Her plan was to pretend to hurry then slow down to tease him. After she unbuttoned his jeans, she tugged down his pants. He wasn’t wearing any underwear. Oh, my.

  “You like?” His grin made her mouth water.

  “Yes.”

  To hell with the shower. She needed to lick him now. She got to her knees and leaned forward, but Daven seemed to want her more.

  “Me, first. I was injured and need your healing touch.”

  “There will be no fighting between you. You’ll each get your turn.”

  She returned to Breck and licked him from balls to tip. Not wanting Daven to feel left out, she rotated around, cupped his hard sac, and licked him, too.

  They must have decided that if she continued doing what she was doing that they’d never get clean. Daven stepped in to the shower and turned on both showerheads.

  “Enough of that.” Breck reached down and lifted her to a stand. “Shower first, pleasure second.”

  “I thought you needed me to suck on him.”

  “I changed my mind. I want your pussy too much.”

  While she liked the way he thought, not getting a chance to fully enjoy him wasn’t fair. Then again, they had risked their lives to keep her safe. The stomach churn she expected didn’t materialize. She’d finally come to grips with being with two heroes and was willing to accept all that it involved.

  She sashayed into the shower and joined Daven, who was soaping up. “I thought I could help you.”

  Breck moved behind her, and she became sandwiched between them. “Let’s get you wet.”

  He grabbed the handheld showerhead and let the water drench her. “I just washed my hair.”

  “I’ll still love you with your wild mane.”

  “I’m not a lion.”

  They both laughed. While Breck soaped up her breasts, she grabbed a handful of bodywash and ran it down Daven’s chest. “I can hardly see the incision mark on your chest.”

  “That’s because I’m tough.”

  It was because he was a panther shifter and had amazing recuperative powers. As she ran her hands over his pectorals, she marveled at their hardness, but as much as she enjoyed his muscles, there was one muscle she wanted to play with more.

  When she grabbed his cock and pumped her fist up and down, Daven closed his eyes. “I think I have died.”

  That wasn’t the image she wanted to evoke, but the fact that he was sucking in his bottom lip and had tightened his fists implied he was enjoying the hell out of her touch. She couldn’t have been more pleased. Just as she was basking in his praise, Breck dropped one hand and plunged a finger into her pussy.

  Flames shot up her insides. “Oh, God.”

  “I think our mate likes when I touch her.”

  Daven opened his eyes. “Oh, yeah? How about turning her around?”

  Breck obeyed. As he lowered his head to kiss her, Daven threaded his cock between her thighs, and she tightened her legs and squeezed him.

  “We’ll have none of that. I’m too on edge.” Daven spread open her legs so much that she had to bend her knees a little to keep balanced.

  He rubbed his cock over her clit and her breath caught. “Daven, you’re not being fair.”

  The soap pump whooshed, and a second later Daven’s finger circled her anus. Being able to have his cock in her ass at the same time Breck fucked her would be a dream come true.

  “Why don’t you suck on Breck’s cock?”

  She loved the idea, though she figured it was more to give Daven access to her rear than for her to give pleasure to his brother.

  Breck sprayed the warm water over his cock. “Don’t need you tasting soap.”

  Finally, she was going to be able to finish sucking him clean especially since Daven wanted to prepare her ass. “No sex in the shower, though. I want both of you at the same time.”

  They groaned. “Dav, I see we have a rookie here.”

  She jerked upward. “How is that being a rookie?”

  “I thought we’d be making love all night long since we’ve been away for a few weeks.”

  She pressed her tits against Breck’s chest and turned off the water behind him. “I can go all night if you let me rest in between sessions.”

  He kissed her, and all arguments disappeared. His tongue shot in, and he swirled it around and around, sending bolts of electricity up her spine.

  “Hey, hey.” Daven pulled her away from Breck. “Assume the position.”

  She and Breck both laughed. Once she bent over she grabbed Breck’s cock and licked the wet tip. “I think you’re thicker than before.”

  “That’s what happens when we stay away. It might shrink a little if you suck real hard.”

  “Oh, okay. I’ll try that.”

  As she went back to what she wanted to do, she rolled her eyes. She’d show him. With one hand she grabbed his cock while she got a handful of balls wit
h the other. Inhaling, she zeroed in on his thick cock and sucked him into her mouth. Just as she was swirling her tongue around his length, Daven slipped a finger into her ass, forcing her to clench her rear.

  “Kitten, do I need to spank you?”

  With Breck’s cock in her mouth, she wiggled her ass, wanting to feel the sting of his hand. He turned off the water on his side.

  “We need to take this loving into the bedroom,” Daven said. “She’s getting too sassy.”

  Breck lifted her shoulders. “I love what you’re doing, but would you mind continuing in the other room?”

  She didn’t care where she was as long as she was with them.

  Breck stepped out of the shower first and helped her out. “Daven, hold her arms out while I dry her.”

  Daven lifted her arms. While his grip wasn’t painful, she was sure if he wanted to hold her hostage, she wouldn’t have been able to get free. Breck started with her tits and dabbed each one lightly. Since her hair was dripping, just as he finished drying one breast, her wet mane would get her shoulders and breasts wet again.

  “I’m not getting very far. Bend over so I can dry your hair.”

  She could have suggested that she wrap her hair in a turban, but the idea of presenting her ass to Daven again appealed to her. As she dropped her head, she backed up so that her ass would rub against Daven’s cock.

  “That’s it, kitten. You’re just asking for trouble.”

  “No, I’m—”

  Daven lifted her into his arms before she could finish her sentence. “Let’s take her to your bedroom.”

  He carried her down the hall, and Breck followed, carrying one towel, which would have to suffice for all three of them. She hoped no one cared if the sheets got wet.

  Breck pulled open the door and Daven carried her in. He set her down on the plush carpet. She shivered despite the heat being on.

  “We need to get you dry.” Breck hurried as he rubbed her down.

  “I’ll get more towels,” Daven said.

  She loved his bedroom. While it was masculine, it had a romantic appeal to it as if he knew someday he’d share the room with his mate. The walls were a pale blue, but the bedspread and pillows were done in all shades of tan and taupe.
