Triplet Mates for Maia
Maia Crawford takes one look at the tall blond panther shape-shifter triplets and knows she wants them. But her older sister, Leah, has just married triplets, and lightning never strikes the same place twice unfortunately. Luckily Chase, Theron, and Draven Reilly are attracted to Maia as well.
The men are in a hurry to get to know Maia because a third set of triplets, the Reed brothers, seem interested in her as well, and no way are the Reillys going to let the Reeds get close to the woman they want.
Maia is sweet and willing and everything three panthers could ever want in a woman, but are things moving much too fast? Should they slow down and back away for a while? Or will the Reeds rush in and claim Maia? Every time they visit or so much as turn around, the Reeds are right there, waiting.

Chapter One
Maia Crawford stood on the stage at Tenth Baptist Church, her eyes filled with tears of happiness as her oldest sister, Leah, held hands with her brand-new husband, Bram Stewart. Bram was the youngest of three triplets, and his brothers Saxon and Hardy stood beside him, both looking just as handsome and happy as Bram.
Damn, they were delicious. Three brothers, three sisters, it sounded like the perfect recipe for happy ever after, yet Maia knew all three of the men were already sleeping with her sister.
Maia wasn’t a virgin, but she wasn’t very experienced at sex either. Men tended to be extremely careful around a pastor’s daughter. Maia longed for a man who wouldn’t be frightened of being forced into a shotgun wedding and who would fuck her thoroughly the way she longed to be fucked. Or even two men. Hell, why not three like her sister!
Maia looked down at her bridesmaid’s dress and sighed with happiness. She might not have a man of her own, but she was wearing the prettiest dress she’d ever owned, and it made her feel beautiful. Her dress was palest pink, and her sister Zoe’s bridesmaid’s dress was exactly the same style as hers, but in palest lilac, and Leah’s wedding gown was ivory-white chiffon and lace with a small train.
The ladies from the church had decorated the building with lilacs, pale pink roses, and white lilies. The entire place had been washed, polished, and tidied and was a lovely scene for Leah’s wedding. She made a stunningly beautiful bride, a perfect match for her handsome husband and his equally handsome brothers. The men were panther shape-shifters, and tonight the Alpha of the panther pack would formalize their marriage as a shape-shifter mating between the three men and Leah. Maia’s mind was filled with wild imaginings of the sex the four of them would share tonight. Dammit, she wanted something like that herself.
She looked out into the crowded church, picking out two other sets of triplets, knowing they were panthers as well. One set—Vallen, Montague, and Diego Reed—all had black hair like Leah’s men. The other set, whose names she didn’t know, were taller, leaner, and their hair was a dirty blond. Not quite brown but close. They appealed to her the most. Such tall men, with long straight limbs. Damn, she imagined the exciting things their long fingers would do to her body. And she imagined their equally long cocks filling her cunt properly, so much better than her fingers ever could do.
Fuck. Her panties were getting damp, and inside a church was not the place for these kinds of thoughts at all. Besides, in a moment, her father would finish speaking and it’d be time for her and Zoe to sing.
Usually Leah sang with them—they were a trio—but today was Leah’s special day and the song was for her, so it would be just Maia and Zoe singing.
Her father stepped to the back of the platform, her mother played a chord on the piano, and Maia centered herself. She turned to face Leah and sang, “The Lord Bless You and Keep You.” The words of the familiar John Rutter song filled her mind and heart. She wanted Leah to be happy. Leah deserved everything good in life. She’d worked damn hard to support their father in his life’s work of h
elping the poor and homeless, and now it was time for her to experience pure joy.
As the youngest, Maia was used to having her sisters to center her as they sang. Although she and Zoe had practiced the song for hours yesterday with their mom playing the music, it still felt strange not to have Leah singing the words with them.
The first few lines were sung in unison, but now it was time to break into the harmony. This would be the first time ever in public for Maia to do the part alone. She breathed deeply and hoped she wouldn’t spoil Leah’s special day then let her voice soar over Zoe’s on the high notes while Zoe continued singing the melody.
The seven-fold Amen went smoothly despite that being the most difficult part of the song. Then the crowd was clapping and Bram led Leah down the aisle, through the church, and into the hall for their wedding party.
Saxon held out his arm to Zoe, and Maia fell in line behind them resting her hand lightly on Hardy’s arm. As they passed the tall, blond panthers, she glanced at them, surprised to see them watching her instead of Leah and Bram. Damn, they’re delicious.
* * * *
As soon as Chase Reilly had learned that Leah had sisters, he’d planned to check them out. Panthers, like all shape-shifters, bred far more males than females, and finding a mate was a damn difficult thing to do. He’d always known he’d have to share a woman with his brothers, and when, as a testosterone-filled young man, he’d had sex with a woman by himself, it’d never given him the pleasure that sex sharing a woman with his brothers delivered.
Of course, there was no guarantee either of Leah’s sisters would arouse his lust, or even be an interesting person, but the Stewart brothers’ mating was too good an opportunity to miss.
And now that he’d seen the sister in pink, he knew he wanted to speak to her, touch her, and see if she was as charming as she appeared.
He wasn’t into religion or churches or singing, considering them girl-stuff. Panthers were polytheistic by nature. But Leah was a really nice person, and if her sister was half as nice as her, he would accept her beliefs.
Then he heard the woman sing, and shivers ran up and down his spine. He could just imagine that mouth on his dick, humming a song as she sucked him. Her vocal chords were amazing. Listening to her was pure delight. He watched her walk down the aisle, eyeing her body hungrily. Hell yes, she was lovely. Her body was curved lushly, her hips swaying charmingly as she walked, and her breasts filling the front of her gown in a manner that made him lick his lips with lust. The happy smile on her face tugged at his heart and his dick equally. Shit. He wanted her badly.
By the time he and his brothers made their way into the hall, people were already handing around trays of little hot dogs on sticks, mini quiches, tiny pizzas, and other nibbles. For once in his life, food didn’t interest him.
He tapped Draven and Theron on their arms. “Let’s talk to the bridesmaids.”
“The one in pink. I like her,” said Draven.
He looked at Theron. They were triplets. In the search for a woman, it had to be a unanimous decision.
Theron shrugged. “Either is fine by me. They’re both hot.”
Awesome! The one in pale purple looked nice, too, but it was the one in pink he wanted.
Without saying anything more, the three of them made their way through the crowd toward the bridesmaids. Draven stopped twice to take some food from one of the trays women were passing around, but Chase was focused on the woman in pink. He licked his lips as he kept his gaze on her face as people moved between them. She had a bright smile and sparkling eyes. Her cheeks were flushed, and she waved her hands as she spoke to people. He liked that she was so energetic and involved. He hated people who spoke in a monotone as if the conversation was completely boring to them. This woman made it quite clear she was enjoying herself with whoever was speaking to her. He wanted her to enjoy herself with him. Fuck yes. In his arms. He wondered what those pink lips would taste like and if the breasts pressing the front of the dress would be soft against his chest, with maybe the nipples hard little points if he brushed his hand against them.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t going to happen here in a huge crowd of her family and friends. Maybe never.
For the humans, this was Leah and Bram’s wedding, and that was it. But for the panthers there was another, much more important, ceremony still to come. Tonight would be the formal mating of Leah with Saxon, Hardy, and Bram. Saxon had told him that Leah’s parents knew about shape-shifters and had worked with them once before. Not here in Ohio, somewhere else. Texas maybe. Anyway, Chase thought that meant Leah’s parents and sisters would be there tonight, although he wasn’t sure how a minister of religion would feel about his daughter marrying three men. Well, clearly he’d agreed because they were all here. But it was rather surprising. Whatever. It meant that maybe tonight he’d get to talk to this woman if he couldn’t speak to her now.
He and his brothers had made only limited progress through this hall. Draven seemed more interested in eating, and Chase was beginning to feel he might give up and eat as well. There seemed to be plenty of food, whereas getting all the way to the other end of the room was proving damn difficult to achieve.
Just when they’d almost gotten there, Chase saw Vallen, Montague, and Diego Reed slide through a gap in the people and stand in front of her. Chase ground his teeth. Fuck! Those Reeds were going to steal his woman right out from under his nose. He couldn’t allow that to happen. He tapped the shoulders of an older man blocking the way in front of him, smiled, and said, “Excuse me,” and pushed through. The person on the opposite side of the man must have heard him and stepped back, so Chase progressed another three feet into a small empty space. He moved to the right, around one of the servers, wiggled left, said, “Excuse me, sweetheart,” to a little girl while gently ushering her out of his way, and arrived.
He’d done it. He was standing with the bridesmaid in pink. And this close to her, he could see she was even more beautiful than he’d imagined. Her eyes were shining brightly. They were brown. No, not brown, sort of hazel with gold and green flecks in the brown. Her figure was gently rounded, her breasts generous globes against the delicate fabric of her dress, and, now she wasn’t walking, her hips were only hinted at under the A-line skirt. He ignored the Reeds and held out his hand. “My name is Chase,” he said to her, looking right into her eyes and smiling.
Automatically, she shook his hand, and her touch was perfect. Soft and sweet, but not limp. Her hand fit inside his just right, and he gave it a tender squeeze before he let go. A weight leaned against his back, and Draven said, “Hi. I’m Draven.”
“Theron,” the middle brother added.
“I’m so glad you could be here on Leah’s special day. And Bram, Hardy, and Saxon’s as well.”
Fuck yes she knew. She knew it was about all three of them, not just Bram. Chase’s dick lengthened and pressed against the zipper of his suit pants. It knew what it wanted, and that couldn’t happen here in a huge crowd, but he’d think of some way to touch her again. Possibly even to kiss her.
“You didn’t tell us your name,” he said, making it just a little bit of a challenge to judge her reaction to the mere hint of dominance.
But she just smiled politely and said, “Oh, I’m sorry. I forget that everyone doesn’t know which of us is which, and today, it’s rather obvious which one is Leah. I’m Maia.”
“You have no idea how much we relate to that. Even some people who’ve known us all our lives still can’t tell which of us is which,” said Theron.
Maia giggled. “We’ve always traveled a lot, and even though we’re different ages, it seemed to me that because we’re all girls so many people never remembered who was older and who younger. We’ve all got brown hair obviously, but our eyes are different.”
“Yes. I noticed that. Yours are hazel.” Draven’s voice had a hint of lust in it. Chase hoped no one but them noticed that.
She nodded. “And Zoe’s are very dark. Almost black.”
Other people pushed their way forward, and Chase had to leave, but he was glad that he’d seen her and was already making plans for the panther ceremony tonight. Hell yes. He’d touch her there and maybe even claim a kiss.
* * * *
Theron hadn’t really thought much about finding a mate. Well, of course he wanted one. It was more than time they settled down and acted like adults instead of teenagers. Besides, a mate meant regular sex, and he was tired of jacking off alone in the shower night after night without even a mental image of Ms. Right to picture as he stroked himself to completion. And a cunt was ten times better than a hand.
But Leah’s sisters were something special. Sweet and lush and genuinely interested in the people around them. He didn’t mind which one his brothers wanted. But having spoken to Maia, and seen her up close, he was highly attracted to her. She was alive and alight with happiness. She wasn’t even the center of attention. It was her sister’s party, not hers, but she seemed so happy to be there and share in it. That was the kind of woman he could love. One who cared about others and wasn’t always insisting on being the focus of everyone’s gaze.
Of course, in bed, she’d be the center of attention. All three of them would make sure she came and came again with the hardest of orgasms. But the rest of the time it would be good if she paid attention to them as well. Although her paying attention to his dick would be nice. Sucking it into that sweet, hot mouth. Putting those pretty pink lips over his shaft. Fuck yes. That would be a hell of a lot better than nice.
