Ways in the Guardian: A Menage Romance Book Collection

by Barbara Downey

  Both of them were so enthralled by what they were watching that they didn’t hear Alexei walk up behind them. But the overwhelming power that Alexei radiated soon came to Lillian and she turned around slowly, locking eyes with him.

  “Enjoying the show?” Alexei asked.

  Lillian gulped and nodded. Damien completely ignored Alexei and kept his eyes on the four people in the room.

  “You could always ask to join,” Alexei said.

  “We’re not members and we don’t have the money for a membership,” Damien said, turning his attention to Alexei.

  “It’ll be on me.”

  Lillian shook her head. “No. We’re not interested.” But she saw that neither Damien nor Alexei were paying attention to her. They stared at each other intensely. Alexei’s eyes turned yellow and began to glow. Lillian looked from one man’s face to the other. What the hell was going on?

  “I think we should leave,” Damien said. He grabbed Lillian’s hand and led her downstairs and out the door.

  Thanks to her werewolf super hearing, Lillian knew for a fact she heard Alexei say, “You’ll be back.”

  *****

  “I want you to tell me everything about your family and what you know about Alexei’s family. I gave you a break last night, but I want answers. Right now.”

  Damien knew the conversation was coming when he woke up the next morning. Lillian, even in the morning, was the most beautiful human in the world. Her hair went in every direction above her head and she had dried drool around her mouth.

  “Can I brush my teeth?” He asked.

  Lillian nodded and watched Damien leave the bedroom and go into the bathroom across the hall. He was in there for ten minutes before coming out and crawling back into bed.

  “Okay,” he began. “My parents are Henry and Elisa Pacheco. We lived in Boulder and I had a relatively good childhood. I didn’t know werewolves existed until I was four years old and Alexei’s father and my father started working together. I’m not sure what exactly they worked together on. They just called it work. I met Alexei when I was six and like I said last night, he mostly ignored me. Something happened between my dad and Alexei’s dad, and my father went into a downward spiral. He started drinking, doing drugs, hitting my mom and then hitting my sister and me.”

  “Do you know what happened between them?” Lillian asked.

  Damien nodded. “I learned later on. My father and Alexei’s father were having an affair. My father wanted to be with Alexei’s father, but Alexei’s father cut it off when my dad starting falling too hard.”

  Lillian was stunned into silence. Did she really hear that correctly? “So your father was bisexual? Or gay?”

  Damien nodded. “I guess bisexual. And then when I turned thirteen, I starting messing around with older boys. My father caught me with a boy and beat me so badly I couldn’t walk for a couple days. After that, I left home.”

  Lillian threw herself into Damien’s lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. “I’m so sorry you went through that.”

  “Thanks. I’m fine, now, though. More than fine because I’m with you.”

  Lillian smiled. But she still wanted to know something. “So are you bisexual, too?”

  Damien froze. He didn’t want to admit that seeing Alexei sent jolts of electricity down to his cock, or that watching the man getting fucked in the room last night made him wish he was that man. He didn’t want to ruin the good relationship he and Lillian had, but lying to her might be worse than not telling her at all.

  “I like men, too. Yes.”

  Lillian nodded slowly. “Okay,” she said. “We’ll deal with this. Thank you for telling me. I know it wasn’t easy.”

  Damien let out a breath he didn’t even realize he was holding. Now that he told Lillian the truth, he wasn’t sure how, or even if, it would affect their relationship.

  “Who was the boy your father caught you with? Did he know him?”

  “It was Alexei,” Damien said quietly.

  “Figures,” Lillian muttered. “He was very interested in you last night. He said we would be back and now I understand why. Do you want to see him? Fuck him?”

  “I don’t know!” Damien yelled. “I don’t know what I want right now.”

  “Well then,” Lillian said. “We should pay Alexei a visit. I want to know more about this alpha werewolf who affects my fiancé so much.”

  A week later and ten thousand dollars richer, Damien and Lillian were on their way to Alexei’s house again. The weather was beautiful and the car they rented, with its top down, was the perfect car.

  “Think he’ll let us in?” Lillian asked. Her hair blew around wildly but she made no move to fix it.

  “I’m positive he will,” Damien said. “Especially after we tell him why we’re there.”

  Lillian sat back for the ride. The past week had been the one that tested their relationship the most. Now that Lillian knew her fiancé was bisexual, she’d had to figure out what to do with that info. She was a little hurt, she had to admit. Not only would Damien look at other women, he’d look at other men as well.

  “I wonder how Michaela is doing with her pet,” Damien said. He wasn’t interested in being submissive to anyone, at least, not as submissive as Michaela’s Lucas was. Crawling on the floor and being led around on a collar and leash wasn’t something Damien thought he’d enjoy.

  Alexei’s glass house grew larger and larger until Damien parked the car in the front driveway. He got out and rounded the car to open the door for Lillian.

  “I think I just saw him in the window,” Lillian said, pointing to a first-floor window that had curtains drawn.

  “I wouldn’t be surprised if it was Alexei. He has cameras everywhere inside,” Damien said. He held out his hand for Lillian and they walked up to the front door. Before Damien could even raise his hand to ring the doorbell, the door swung open.

  “Welcome again,” Alexei said, stepping aside to let Damien and Lillian in. He didn’t question why they were there, didn’t seem suspicious at all. In fact, he smirked when he closed the door behind them.

  “What can I help the two of you with?” He asked.

  Lillian glared at him. “You know damn well why we’re here.”

  “Indulge me,” Alexei said.

  “I want you to fuck my fiancé.”

  Not only was Damien surprised at Lillian’s words, Alexei seemed a bit shocked too. Damien wasn’t expecting that at all. Him getting fucked hadn’t been a part of their plan at all.

  The silence was deafening. Lillian waited for an answer while Damien looked from his fiancée to Alexei and back again.

  “And what will you be doing when I fuck Damien?” Alexei asked, tilting his head to the side.

  “I’ll be right there joining in. He’s bisexual so he likes pussy too. And he’s my fiancé.”

  “I like pussy, too.” Alexei entered Lillian’s personal space that all werewolves required from one another and didn’t back away, even when he heard her low growl. “Are you really growling at me, little cub?” He asked with a chuckle.

  “I’m not a cub,” Lillian said defensively.

  Alexei laughed out loud. His eyes twinkled with happiness when he opened them and his faced was flushed red. “I’ll fuck your husband,” he began. “But on one condition.”

  “What’s that?” Damien asked.

  “We go on a date. All three of us.”

  *****

  “A date?” Lillian repeated. “The three of us?”

  Alexei nodded. “Yes, a date with the three of us. We can go out to eat, talk, whatever you want after.”

  Lillian looked at Damien, who nodded his head. “Okay. But we live in Los Angeles. Neither of us want to drive back down here.”

  “Don’t worry. I’ll come pick you up. Put your address and phone number into my phone.

  Lillian took Alexei’s new phone and put their address and phone number of the prepaid flip phone they bought. Being around Alexei was defini
tely intimidating. He had more money than he knew what to do with and Lillian and Damien were still living in their small, rundown apartment. They weren’t being evicted now and had all services restored.

  “How does Friday sound? Or Saturday?” Alexei asked.

  “Friday’s good,” Damien replied. He tried his hardest to keep his voice steady. Alexei was the male equivalent of Lillian. They both had jet black hair, blue eyes that changed color depending on their mood, and bodies to die for. Alexei’s five o’clock shadow framed his face and Damien came to the conclusion that Alexei would look nice with a beard.

  “You’re drooling,” Lillian said, snapping her fingers in front of Damien’s face. He blushed bright red and turned on his heel back out the door.

  “So I’ll see you Friday? Nine o’clock?” Alexei asked from behind Lillian.

  She turned around. “Yeah. Friday it is.”

  ****

  Friday came quicker than Lillian expected. She had found a thrift store and bought a sexy, strapless black dress and strappy sandals for thirty bucks, but as she looked at the outfit hanging from her closet door, she was wondering if she should really wear it.

  “What’s wrong?” Damien asked, noticing her indecisiveness.

  “Think this is maybe too dressy? We don’t even know where we’re going.”

  “I think it’s fine. No sane man would turn away a woman like you dressed in a dress like that.”

  Lillian smiled and went into the bathroom to take a shower. She emerged twenty minutes later and chose a black thong to wear under the dress as to avoid panty lines. She considered going panty less altogether but decided against it. Last thing she needed to do was accidentally give Alexei a free show.

  At nine o’clock on the dot, Alexei called and alerted that he was out front. Damien, dressed in navy blue business trousers and a white, button-up shirt, took Lillian’s hand and led her outside. There, they were greeted with a shiny Cadillac Escalade and the driver standing at the back door.

  “Thank you,” Lillian said to the driver as she climbed into the backseat of the car.

  “You look absolutely stunning, Lillian. Now I can finally stop second guessing my decision.” Alexei’s eyes roamed Lillian’s body hungrily. His eyes turned yellow, the color of lust for werewolves, and he put his nose in the air and inhaled deeply.

  Lillian knew he could smell the pool of wetness between her legs. There was no hiding anything from a werewolf, especially an alpha with the power Alexei possessed.

  “What do you mean your decision?” Damien asked.

  “I have a surprise for us. I think we’re all going to like it.”

  Lillian was afraid what the surprise would be but she had Damien there to protect her. She melted into the comfortable leather seat and closed her eyes. The air-conditioned car felt amazing against her dampening skin. She wasn’t even sure why she was beginning to sweat, but guessed it had something to do with Alexei.

  Twenty minutes later, the car pulled up onto the tarmac of a small airport where a jet sat waiting.

  “Um, what’s this?” Damien asked.

  “My surprise,” Alexei responded. He stepped out of the car before Damien could ask another question.

  “Where are we going?” Lillian asked.

  “Ever been to Vegas?” Alexei said.

  Both Damien and Lillian shook their heads.

  “Well, you’re in luck. We’re going to Vegas for our first date.”

  *****

  “You gamble, Damien?”

  Damien scoffed. “In case you didn’t notice our neighborhood, I’ll be the one to inform you that I am too poor to gamble.”

  Alexei slapped Damien’s back the way friends did. “We’ll gamble tonight. And you’ll win some money.”

  “And what am I supposed to do while you two gamble?” Lillian asked.

  They were in the sky on the way to Las Vegas and Lillian wasn’t particularly happy that her fiancée and the man her fiancée had a crush on were making plans without her.

  “Shop?” Alexei asked.

  Lillian narrowed her eyes. “I don’t like shopping.”

  Damien snorted. “Lies.”

  “Okay, I do like to shop. But I refuse to take any money from you,” she pointed at Alexei, “to shop.”

  “Money is money. What’s the difference?”

  He has a point, Lillian thought. Damn. She really did want to go on a crazy shopping spree and feel like the women at the club who were decked out in jewelry and designer clothes. She knew material things didn’t matter at the end of the day, but that didn’t stop her from staring at the women on Rodeo Drive who carried Chanel and Hermes bags.

  “I think you got yourself a deal,” Damien said with a smirk. “She can’t deny shopping. I wish I could give her buckets of money so she could go shopping.”

  “When did you get engaged?” Alexei asked abruptly.

  “A year ago,” Lillian said.

  “And when’s the wedding?”

  Alexei was greeted in silence and he began to think if neither of them heard the question.

  “We haven’t set a date yet,” Damien said. He looked—ashamed. “With money being tight and all, the wedding just took a back seat. We’ll get back to it eventually.”

  Lillian remained silent and stared ahead. Talking about her wedding, or rather, lack of wedding, was a sore spot for her. It wasn’t even because she wanted a huge, extravagant affair. She just wanted to show Damien that she would remain by his side through thick and through thin and their vows would always be taken seriously.

  “It’ll happen,” Alexei said softly.

  Two hours later, they touched down in Las Vegas. Another Escalade sat waiting for them when they exited the plane and Lillian was too preoccupied with watching the lights and people of the Las Vegas Strip to hear anything Alexei or Damien said.

  “You okay with that, Lily?” Damien asked. “Lily?”

  “Huh? What?”

  “Are you okay with us getting a hotel room?”

  Lillian looked from Damien to Alexei. “The three of us?”

  Both men nodded their heads yes. “Okay. But I’m hungry. We need to eat.”

  And eat they did.

  Alexei took them to one of Las Vegas’s most expensive restaurants and told them to order whatever they wanted. Damien took that to heart and ordered more food than he could possibly eat, just to see how far he could push Alexei, Lillian was sure. She settled on a juicy steak that filled her up nicely and the glass of wine Alexei ordered complimented her meal perfectly.

  Unfortunately for Lillian, one glass of wine became two and two became four. By the time they were finished with their meal, she was tipsy and wouldn’t be able to take up Alexei’s shopping spree offer.

  “I think she needs to go to sleep,” Damien said.

  “I’m not drunk!” Lillian protested. “I do want to take these shoes off, though.”

  Their penthouse suite was something right out of a magazine. When she removed her shoes, Lillian opened the sliding glass door and stepped onto the large terrace. The views of Las Vegas were incredible and she wanted to remain in the spot she was standing forever. She felt large arms wrap around her and knew immediately who they belonged to.

  Alexei.

  “Where’s Damien?” she asked, her voice shaky.

  “I’m right here,” Damien said. He had taken a seat on one of the lounge chairs and watched her and Alexei.

  “Sorry I ruined the evening,” Lillian said.

  “You didn’t ruin it. We’re just getting started.”

  Before Lillian could say anything, Alexei’s mouth crashed into hers and her body melted into his hands. She moaned when Alexei’s hands squeezed her breasts and when his tongue entered her mouth.

  “Damien, come.”

  Damien stood and joined his fiancé and old lover. Alexei grabbed him by the face and kissed him the same way he had just kissed Lillian. He ripped open Damien’s shirt and rubbed his hands across Damie
n’s chest and stomach.

  “Maybe we should go inside,” Lillian whispered.

  “The bedroom is a no clothes zone,” Alexei said with a smirk. He closed the sliding door behind himself and began to remove his clothes. Lillian and Damien followed suit and soon, the three of them were on the large, king bed, kissing and touching one another.

  “Have you ever had a cock in your ass?” Alexei asked Lillian.

  She shook her head.

  “You, Damien?”

  Damien nodded. “Twice. Years ago, though. I’m no expert.”

  Alexei was happy he brought bottles of lube because it looked like he would need them. He went into the bathroom and when he came out, his cock immediately hardened. On the bed, Lillian sucked Damien’s cock with her ass raised in the air. He could see her swollen pussy glistening with wetness and fought the urge to run behind her and sink his cock as deep into her pussy as he could. He walked closer and was impressed by Lillian’s deep throat skills. She took all of Damien’s cock with no problem.

  “My turn now,” Alexei said. He crawled onto the bed beside Lillian and took Damien’s cock into his mouth. Damien let out a hoarse cry.

  “Lick and suck his balls,” Alexei ordered Lillian.

  She did as she was told and couldn’t believe how good she and Alexei worked together pleasuring Damien. She could feel when Damien was about to come and sat up, not wanting him to come just yet. Alexei did the same and laid down beside him. Without needing to be told, Lillian took Alexei’s large cock into her mouth while Damien played with Alexei’s balls. Between her own legs, she was soaking wet. She wanted a cock, any of their cocks at this point, inside of her.

  “Come here, Lil. Sit on my face,” Alexei said.

  Lillian crawled up Alexei’s body and positioned her pussy right over his mouth. She cried out and held onto the headboard and Alexei began to hungrily feast on her pussy. She didn’t think it could get any better and tossed her head back.

  Wanting to save Lillian’s orgasm, Alexei removed his lips and tongue from her pussy. He instructed Damien to lie down beside him and told Lillian to ride her fiancé. As their cries filled the room, Alexei sheathed his cock with a condom and lathered lube on his fingers. He used two to spear Damien’s asshole, which caused Damien to tense.
