Aiden smiled when he saw Steven’s name flash up on his phone. “Hello?”
“Hey. It’s Steven.”
“Hi. How was work? Is your car doing fine?” Aiden had experienced a few Patrick-like moments during the day, worrying Aiden’s car might break down again.
“Yes, it’s doing fine. Work was good.” He paused. “And so was lunch.”
“Did you have a good time with your friend, then?” Aiden didn’t want to hear it, but he had to. He needed to know how things had gone.
“I did. We enjoyed getting to know each other more. But he did, at first, express interest in more.”
“He did? How?” Biting his lip, Aiden tried to sound casual, but the long pause proved Steven had heard his anxiety.
“Well, he kissed me.”
“What?” Aiden’s heart skipped a couple of beats. Patrick would tie him to the bed again and then leave him there to suffer when he heard about this.
“And all I could do was think of you.”
Aiden hesitated as his blood pressure tried to return to normal. “Really?”
“Yes. He does like me, but he backed off when I said I’m with someone.”
Aiden licked his lower lip. “Are you with someone, Steven?”
Steven laughed lightly, the sound so damn sexy. “You made love to me last night, Aiden. Yes, I’m with someone.”
“What else happened today?” He loved that Steven had considered their frenzied coupling as making love. It helped Aiden believe he was in this for more than just the pleasure.
“Lots of thinking on my part.”
“Any, um, luck?”
Steven laughed more jovially this time. “Luck? Maybe. I’m still upset, but I guess I understand. Though I have to admit that I keep wondering if I really saw what I saw. I hardly slept at all last night.”
“Don’t be afraid of us, please. We’re still ourselves inside when it happens.”
“I could see that with you. Patrick just worries me.” Steven paused, and Aiden let him take his time. “That first night was totally unlike me. But I know I would have done anything Patrick asked me to do. That worries me. His influence, or whatever, is hard to ignore. Being near him is intoxicating.”
“I know it is. You’re scared you won’t make the right decisions?”
“Sort of.”
“That’s understandable.” Aiden cleared his throat. “Was it too much? Him fucking me in front of you? You and I making each other come?”
“I don’t know. I liked touching you, loved you touching me. It was hot watching him take you. I felt both honored and jealous.”
“You wanted to be inside me?” Aiden whispered.
Steven whispered back in an even softer voice. “Yes.”
“If he’s with us, you can be. I don’t want this to be, well, lopsided. He and I are a package deal. That sounds awful, I guess, but he’s my mate.”
“Then why do you need me?”
“It’s the way wolves are. We need more than two to balance our pack. Think of it like politics. With a two party system, sometimes nothing gets done because the two sides just keep butting heads. A third party helps them work things out. With three or more, needs are met in a better way. No, you aren’t a wolf, but your smell affects us both the same way. We scent you or touch you, and the word mine rings out clear for both of us.”
“That sounds crazy but wonderful. But I’m not like you. I need more than a feeling. I’m nuts about you, Aiden.”
“Spend some time with Patrick, please. In public if you have to.”
“Yes, in public. If we’re alone, I know I’ll let him fuck me.”
Aiden’s mouth hung open. “Really? He affects you that much?”
“Yeah. I’m sure. He addles me. As angry as I was last night, I’d probably only have fought him off for a moment.”
“Do you mean that?” Aiden asked, his own need building as he imagined Patrick claiming Steven.
“Yes. There’s something about him. And seeing him pin you down and speak to you like that made it worse. The conflict, I mean. I wanted to defend you, and I didn’t want him to be the kind of man who would hurt you.” Steven sighed. “He’s the cool, popular guy, and I’m the geek. I really thought he was making fun of me, Aiden. I think you two don’t quite get that. It still sounds crazy now, but in that first moment it was laughable.”
Aiden nodded, then snapped out of it because he realized Steven couldn’t see him. “You’re right. I got it, but I guess I wasn’t thinking about it the right way. Patrick is intimidating. I should have thought of that.”
“It’s something Patrick needs to think about, too, please. He needs to tone down the alpha thing and be patient with me.” He sighed yet again, Aiden loving the sound. “I’m not opposed to the threesome thing. It turns me on. I just need time to think about it as more than a few fun nights.”
“All right. I’ll talk to him. Knowing I’ve already claimed you did a number on him. I think it’s slowly humbling him in a way.”
“How?” Steven sounded very surprised. “I can’t imagine that guy humbled.”
“Well, if he’d behaved, he could have shared it with us. He sees that losing his temper cost him something precious.” A thought occurred to him. “Hey, Steven, if Patrick shifts to wolf form, will you go on a walk with us? I want him to see us together and not be able to open his big mouth.”
“Yeah, that sounds nice. Tonight?”
“No. Let’s do tomorrow after dinner. It’s kind of humid tonight, plus it’s getting late.”
“All right. We’ll plan on it then.”
“Good. I’m looking forward to it.” He sighed and licked his bottom lip, smiling. He knew he’d done that because Steven had a habit of doing both often as he spoke. “Good night, Steven.”
“Good night.”
Aiden ended the call and went to find Patrick. He found his stubborn mate in the bathroom running a bath.
“That was him,” Aiden said.
“I know. I was trying not to eavesdrop.” He began stripping his clothes off.
Aiden eyed the hard muscles but didn’t move toward Patrick. “Tomorrow night, you’re going to shift so the three of us can go for a little nature walk. If you can’t talk, you’re far less likely to fuck up.”
Patrick sank into the tub and nodded his agreement. Aiden didn’t like seeing his mate like this. He stripped down and got into the large oval tub with Patrick and began gently splashing water on Patrick to wash him. His mate didn’t need words or sex right now; he needed to feel loved. Aiden built up a good lather and cleansed Patrick’s chest. Patrick relaxed and watched Aiden, his look contemplative.
Aiden continued washing Patrick. He cleaned every inch of him very gently, only briefly touching his semi-erect cock. Finally, as he finished, the right words came to him. “I see you worrying, love. It’s all or nothing, Patrick. Don’t look so scared.” He steeled himself for what he was about to say. “And I promise I’ll give him up if he doesn’t want both of us.”
“You’ve claimed him. You’ll ache for him if you let him go.” Patrick caressed his cheek.
Aiden kissed his palm and smiled. “And you would ease that ache, love me and fuck me until I forgot.”
“I love you, Aiden. I’m going to make this happen.” The tone held a solemn promise. Patrick hadn’t been this somber in a very long time.
“Patrick, I’m glad you’re being serious, but don’t be so down.” He touched Patrick’s neck and looked into his eyes. “This is very fixable. Don’t beat yourself up. I hate when you’re hot one day and cold the next. Angry one minute and berating yourself the moment I turn around.”
“I’m the alpha, the provider. There’s no room for mistakes.”
“Everyone makes mistakes.” Aiden put the cloth down and sat in front of Patrick, pressing his back to Patrick’s chest. “We’ll right this one. Steven is sweet and kind. He was angry because he felt defensive of me, exactly as you would have
if someone had pinned me down and reprimanded me. He was also upset because he likes you. He didn’t want to think you were the kind of man who would hurt me.”
“That’s nice of you to say, but I’m not so sure.”
“I am,” Aiden said, wiggling against his lover. “His exact words not ten minutes ago.”
Patrick’s cock hardened against Aiden’s ass. “His words?”
“Yes, love, his words.”
Patrick wrapped his arms around Aiden. “I like that, knowing he’d protect you if I weren’t around.”
Aiden laughed. “I don’t need protection.”
“What else did he say?”
“He obviously likes me as much as I like him, and you really get him going. He wanted me to make sure you get that he thought you were teasing him in a cruel way, like you were making fun of him.”
“I’d never do that.”
“And how could he know that after being around you twice? He wants you to see that his reaction was justified.”
“Okay, I get it. I’ll work on thinking before acting.”
“Good.”
Patrick kissed the top of his head. “I do love you, baby. So much. I’ll do my best for you.”
Aiden rubbed Patrick’s arm. “Love you, too.” He shifted against the hard shaft pressing close. “Now, enough talk. Fuck me, my love.”
Patrick ran his hand down Aiden’s stomach. “If you insist.”
Aiden cried out as Patrick stroked him, not caring about the water that splashed everywhere as they made love.
Chapter Six
Patrick had never “tagged along” in his life, but he definitely felt like he was doing so now as he trotted along in wolf form between Aiden and Steven. However, the view of Aiden’s and Steven’s asses helped make it bearable. He sped up a little to feel more like he was part of the ongoing conversation.
“It’s boring. We have a list of clients we check on. When someone is having a problem making a payment, they’re supposed to call us and try to work something out. That’s the ‘counseling’ part of being a Financial Counselor.” Steven sighed. “I’m just a really nice collections person. The CEO prefers to keep the collections within the mortgage company so they can control how the customers are treated, which is nice in a way.”
“It sounds like a good system to me,” Aiden said. “I’d be more willing to work with a company that cared enough to even consider it. Most companies don’t give a damn what happens after they turn an account over to collections.”
“True.” Steven looked down at Patrick. “What does Patrick do?”
“He’s in IT, too, like me, but he’s a cubicle dweller. I got lucky and snagged a job that can be done remotely. He’s in the PR department at Brunson Marketing. He helps design internal and external elements.”
Steven frowned. “Internal and external?”
“Internal is for employees, while external is for customers. So he does the intranet for employees to enter their bank info, do HR training, and all that, plus the websites for potential and existing clients on the Internet.”
“Oh. Your job sounds more fun, actually.”
Aiden shrugged. “At least he gets to be creative. I just update and modify websites for the clients of my company as requested. I don’t get to make suggestions or be inventive. I just give people what they ask for.”
Steven looked off into the trees. “Are we on my land or yours now?”
“Just crossed over to yours. Your parcel is actually half an acre bigger than ours,” Aiden said.
“It’s so peaceful out here. Do strangers come out here?” Steven asked.
“Not on our land. The river is just a little too rough for people to get across. And the hill is the only way to drive up here from the highway. We’re nice and secluded.”
“What about the kids? You said the other neighbors had some.”
Aiden nodded. “Yeah, the Davenports have three: Luke, Michael, and Emily. All under five, so they don’t go far alone.”
“They must be in bed by now.”
“Probably.”
Patrick thought he knew where Steven was going with this, but he wasn’t sure just yet.
Steven stopped and pulled Aiden close. “So we’re probably not going to be disturbed?”
Patrick looked up at Steven as Aiden said, “No, I’d say we’re safe.”
Patrick could tell Aiden was getting aroused. Steven leaned in and asked, “Does this count as Patrick being with us?”
Aiden’s eyes went wide, and Patrick could smell the desire coming off of Steven now. Patrick sat down and wagged his tail, ready to watch the show. He couldn’t imagine Aiden saying no to the man he’d already claimed and marked as his.
Aiden laughed as he looked into Patrick’s eyes. “I think Patrick is saying ‘yes’, but that’s probably his dick talking. He wants to claim you so bad he’ll do anything to see you naked again.”
Patrick nipped at Aiden’s knee playfully, then nuzzled against him.
Steven watched them closely. “I see. So, is claiming permanent?”
“Yes. It doesn’t affect you, but I’ll always want you. When wolves are young, it’s different. We can have sex without causing that to happen. But once we mature, coming inside someone is a big deal.”
Steven wrapped his arms around Aiden. “I’d never have let anyone I’d only known two days come inside me, but I couldn’t resist you.” Steven kissed Aiden tenderly. “I want to taste you again, then fuck you.”
Patrick’s skin tingled as he watched. He’d sworn he wouldn’t change back, but he wanted to jerk off as he watched. He wiggled around, lying on his side. Steven and Aiden were kissing now, Steven slowly undressing Aiden. Patrick tried not to blink. He was always stunned by how beautiful his Aiden was, and he enjoyed seeing Steven touch him so lovingly. Once Aiden was naked, Steven got down on his knees and licked Aiden’s cock. Watching Aiden throw his head back and moan had Patrick ready to howl. Steven took all of Aiden’s cock, gagging just a bit, which Patrick found very hot.
Steven worked Aiden over with fervor, and Patrick could tell Aiden would come soon. Aiden had a tight grip on Steven’s blond locks, and he thrust his hips quickly. There was no jealousy as Patrick watched his mate fuck another’s mouth. Aiden came with a cry, and Patrick watched Steven swallowing. Aiden panted, looking down at Steven lovingly. He collapsed to his knees when Steven pulled away, and they kissed. The sight had Patrick going out of his mind with need. He wanted to be there with them, tasting Aiden’s cum on Steven’s lips.

Aiden returned Steven’s kiss with the same passion. Being with Steven while Patrick watched had him so turned on. He looked at Patrick briefly when he and Steven parted.
“We driving him nuts?” Steven asked with a lick to Aiden’s neck and ear.
“Yes,” Aiden whispered. “He’ll fuck me the moment you leave.”
“Why wait?” Steven undressed slowly, looking back and forth between Aiden and Patrick. “Can you take two cocks, Aiden?”
Aiden heard the whine come from Patrick, but he kept his eyes fixed on Steven. “Both of you? Never done it before, but I’ll try.”
Steven reached into his jacket pocket. “Tell him to change. I get to enter you first, and then we’ll work things out.”
Aiden watched Steven pull out a small bottle of lube. “You do feel the pull from him, too, don’t you? I wasn’t one hundred percent sure before.”
“Didn’t I say I did?” He dangled the lube between his fingers. “I grabbed this, but I came prepared mentally as well. I want this, Aiden.”
“Yeah, you said you did, but I wasn’t sure how you felt about it.”
Steven licked his lips as he slicked his cock. “He’s not getting my ass yet, but if he wants to help me please you, I’d love to try.”
Aiden looked at Patrick. “That’s okay?”
Patrick shifted back to human form, sweat on his brow and his cock hard and jutting out before him. “I’d love it
.” He reached out a hand to Steven.
Slowly, Steven put his hand in Patrick’s. Patrick kissed it and said, “I’m sorry I was so short tempered. We’ll talk later, but right now I want us to work together to please this very special man.”
Aiden held his breath as he watched them looking at each other. His mate and the man who was creeping into his heart were both about to take him, if Steven didn’t back down.
Steven nodded, then leaned over to kiss Aiden, still holding Patrick’s hand. “We have a mutual passion, Patrick.” He looked back to Patrick. “It’s a beginning.”
Aiden trembled as Steven tossed the lube to Patrick after squirting more into his hand. He nudged Aiden to lie on his back. Complying without question, Aiden reclined and spread his legs, pulling them up at the knees to give Steven access.
Steven kissed his knee. “You’re beautiful.” Steven’s fingers worked into him, but Aiden could see Steven trembling, too.
Aiden glanced over to see Patrick stroking his cock. The idea of taking them both made him nervous, but it also thrilled him. He and Patrick had used a few toys before, including a cock extender, and Aiden knew he could take them both if he simply relaxed. Neither of these men would ever hurt him.
Steven worked two fingers deep, hitting Aiden’s prostate. Aiden cried out, his cock jerking as his erection returned full force. He moaned as those fingers scissored inside him. Steven got into position and entered him, going very slowly at first. Aiden longed to be filled right away, but Steven took his time.
“You feel good, Aiden. Been thinking of this ever since I saw Patrick enter you.” Steven moaned as he gave Aiden more.
Steven had a shorter cock than Patrick, but it was very wide. Aiden closed his eyes to fully appreciate the difference. He felt lips against his, Steven’s lips. Aiden returned the kiss and wrapped his arms around Steven, who was now fucking him much harder. Without warning, Steven sat back and lifted Aiden up. He settled back so that now Aiden straddled him. Steven slowed his pace and pulled Aiden forward. Soon, Aiden felt Patrick move in and straddle Steven’s legs behind him.
