Closing her eyes, she almost shouted with relief 68
when Griffin’s fingers curled around the elastic around her waist and peeled her panties down over her legs. The two men inhaled sharply as they uncovered her sex. She bit her lip, wondering what they thought of her. What if they were disappointed with her? Would they stop, leave her wanting instead of bringing her much-needed relief?
If only it wasn’t so dark. If she could see their faces, perhaps she would know what they thought of her. She didn’t know how they could see her, but somehow, she knew they saw every inch of her exposed flesh. Were they happy with what they saw? She fought the urge to cover herself. Let them look. She needed to know.
Aliana struggled to rise. Moving closer, she reached out and pulled them to her. Drace lowered his head to her left breast while his experienced fingers returned to her nipples, plucking and twisting until she squirmed beneath them.
“You’re so perfect. So beautiful,” Griffin said against her lips.
“She is,” Drace agreed, his mouth still pressed against her breast. The vibrations sent darts of pleasure shooting through her. Invisible threads drawn between her nipples and sex grew tighter until she was sure she would scream.
Cream seeped from between her legs. Every 69
nerve ending was on fire. The incredible sensation of the two men’s hands skimming over her flesh, touching and teasing was enough to drive her over the edge again. Finally, she threw back her head and screamed. “Make love to me. Please. I can’t stand it anymore!”
Raising her hands to her face, she covered her mouth. This was it. She was reduced to begging, pleading that they take her at long last. Her body convulsed with pleasure. Her head thrashed wildly against the silky material of the sleeping bag beneath her. The tactile sensation of the cool material against her warm flesh was a sharp contrast.
Drace moved to lie on his back. “Straddle me, love.” His words were rough, guttural. It was almost as though it hurt to say the words.
Rolling, Aliana crawled over Drace, pressing tiny, inexperienced kisses to his damp, chest. Her tongue trailed over his flat nipple, her fingers sliding over his smooth chest. Reaching down, she grasped his hard on and eased herself down onto it. God, he was huge.
Inhaling sharply between her teeth, Aliana placed her hands flat against his sternum and sat still for a moment before wriggling and seating herself more firmly onto his hard length.

Drace inhaled sharply. Was she trying to kill him or just unman him? Her passage wrapped around his cock like a tight, wet velvet fist. He gasped when she wriggled again and her muscles grasped him tighter. Sweet Jesus, if he didn’t regain control soon, he’d come before Griffin seated himself into her ass.
“Ride him, Aliana.” Griffin moved behind her, straddled Drace’s legs and kissed her neck. “Ride him. Make him come deep inside you.”
What the hell was Griff thinking? Drace stifled a groan as she raised and lowered herself over his hips. Her breasts jutted proudly upward, her dusky nipples dark against her pale skin. Sexy.
Honey blonde hair fell over her shoulders in glistening waves. Reaching up, she pushed her fingers through her hair in an effort to toss it back over her shoulders. The action thrust her breasts up and outward, the pouting tips rose and fell with every move, like an invitation to lean up and feast upon her creamy flesh. Unable to stop himself, he rose up and took one hardened peak into his mouth. His cock jerked inside her tight channel as her muscles gripped him tighter once again.
Giving the small diamond-hard bud one final flick of his tongue, Drace lay back and concentrated on nothing but holding back his 71
inevitable release. If it were up to Griffin, he’d have him coming deep inside her luscious channel and they wouldn’t have the opportunity to take her at the same time. Drace couldn’t allow that to happen. He needed this. He needed the closeness of a triad bond, now more than ever. There was nothing like taking a woman together. The sensation, the sense of closeness to his best friend was unlike anything else he’d ever experienced.
Now there was more. He wanted to feel the closeness, the rightness of it all with both of them.
He could only pray she would accept them both into her life permanently once this was all over.
Gritting his teeth, Drace tried to keep himself from climaxing. He imagined everything from insects to battle and still found it difficult to detach himself enough to keep her from milking his semen from his body.
Her scent, the feel of her silky skin sliding against his was nearly enough to lose himself in her. Finally grabbing her hips to keep her still, he held Aliana close against his hips. Every time her silken channel gripped him tighter, every time her passage pulsed around his shaft seated so deeply inside her, his cock bucked, begging for its release.
“Use her own cream to ready her for your entry, Griff.” Drace gritted his teeth. Sweat beaded on his brow and his body grew more rigid by the moment. A soft whimper escaped Aliana’s lips 72
and she wriggled, driving him even closer to the edge. Soon nothing would stop him from shooting his release deep inside her waiting channel and she would be his, theirs, to share if she would have them.
Her lips moved over his bare chest, inciting a riot of feeling deep in his gut. He wanted this woman more than he’d ever wanted another female before in his life. Gentle hands brushed over his sensitive nipples, a curious tongue following shortly after. Supple fingers traced the lines of his face and jaw. He drew one into his mouth, then the other, suckling, waiting, needing to feel Griff’s slow invasion of her perfect ass.
* * * *
The sound of Drace’s hoarse command drew Griffin from his trance. The sound, the scent of his best friend and the woman he intended to take to mate making love had his senses reeling. His cock jerked, bucking upward as if it couldn’t wait to sink inside her beautiful ass. He watched as Drace gritted his teeth and did his best to hold her unmoving and still she managed to wriggle about and make him groan.
He stroked the length of his cock and shuddered, unable to stop himself from imagining the way she would feel. His cock was longer, bigger than 73
he’d ever seen it before. If he thought on it much, he may think the same of Drace’s. Not that he paid much attention to the size of the other man’s erections. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that they both were finally making love with the woman they intended to take to mate. Or perhaps, he thought with a wry grin, it was just because she made them horny as hell. Whatever the reason, he didn’t care.
Reaching down, he thrust two fingers between the two already joined. Aliana whimpered and wriggled downward. Cream seeped from between her legs and he pulled it from where Drace’s cock was firmly seated within her to her back entrance.
Smearing the slick cream over her tight rosette, he inserted first one, then two fingers. After making sure they moved easily within her, he scissored his fingers back and forth, stretching her even more.
Aliana groaned, wriggling her ass down onto his hand and he smiled. Our mate is passionate, Drace. Can you feel how she begs me to enter her?
Drace nodded, his eyes closed and teeth clenched. Corded muscles stood out on his neck.
Are you trying to kill me?
Griffin chuckled. Doesn’t the anticipation make it better?
Of course it does. Drace glared at him over Aliana’s shoulder. But that doesn’t mean you need drag it on indefinitely.
74
Looking down the long line of her flawless back, he reached out and caressed her spine.
Moving lower, he stared at the perfectly shaped ass before him with awe. Griffin disagreed. This was worth dragging on forever. Reaching out, he took each of her hips in his hands and pulled her back. He ground his hard cock into the cleft of her ass and closed his eyes. Even this felt extraordinary.
Finally opening his eyes, he gaze
d down at her luscious rear and the tiny rosette he would soon enter and thanked everything that was good that they had found this woman. It seemed strange to admit, but after such a short time, he knew she was the one. The only one. This was the only woman who could love them both equally and accept them both into her bed. He didn’t know how he knew it. He just did.
Reaching around her waist and between her legs, he circled the tight bud of her clit with his fingers and gathered more of her body’s natural lubricant while Aliana shuddered and moaned between them. He smeared more of her cream onto the tight rosette, then pressed the head of his cock against it. Griffin threw his head back and clenched his teeth as he pushed the head of his huge shaft into her tight ass. His ears rang and the top of his head felt as though it might pop off. The feeling of her ass stretched around his cock was 75
nearly his undoing. Part of him wanted nothing more than to ram it home and fuck her until she screamed. Another, gentler, part wanted to move slowly, making sure he’d wrung every ounce of pure pleasure from her body.
Moving slowly, the head of his cock passed the outer ring, settled into her ass and he groaned. A few slow strokes later and he’d managed to fit his unusually large cock into her ass to the hilt. Her muscles grasped his cock in an unyielding grip.
The muscles in his stomach clenched. His ass and leg muscles spasmed with the effort and he nearly collapsed onto them both.
Sweat beaded on his brow as he began to pull out. They needed movement, friction. All of them needed the release that hung so close all they need do is reach out and grasp it.
Her ass clenched tight around him as he slowly pulled out. Tight muscles pulled, dragging against his sensitive nerve endings as he moved to plunge back into her. A bead of perspiration ran down the center of her spine and he leaned forward to taste it with his tongue. It tasted like her—a bit of feminine spice and a lot of wild.
“You’re so tight, Aliana. I don’t know how much longer I can hold out.” Griffin continued to drag his cock from her only to ram it back in while she whimpered between them.
Drace reached up, took her nipples between his 76
fingers and twisted the tight peaks until she groaned and her hips bucked, driving them both deeper into her stretched body. “I can’t hold out much longer either. Come for us, baby. Come one more time.”
* * * *
Aliana didn’t know how much more pleasure she could take. It was hard to believe she had one man buried between her legs while another fit so snugly into her rear. She’d been afraid that having both of them push their hard, thick lengths into her would tear her asunder. Yet here she was, both of them buried deep into her flesh and she loved it! The feeling of being stretched to the limits, of having two men inside her at the same time was so intense, so wicked. Never in her life had she ever considered taking two men at once until she met these men. Now she couldn’t imagine herself with only one man again. How had she become so attached to these two in such a short time? “Be ours, Aliana. Stay here with us. Be our vessel, our mate,” Griffin said, just before his tongue laved her shoulder blade.
Drace grabbed her hand, brought it to his mouth and slowly kissed his way up to her wrist.
“Yes, Aliana. Be ours.”
Ali couldn’t answer. She could barely think. All 77
she could do was feel as the two men claimed her.
Groaning, she couldn’t speak with her mouth pressed tightly to Drace’s chest, her tongue slowly curling around his flat nipple. The sensation of them both thrusting into her was almost more than she could bear—as though she would die from the pleasure. Their alternating thrusts took her higher and higher, until she feared the fall back to Earth might kill her if the resulting orgasm didn’t.
Drace pushed her up and away so he could roll her nipple between his thumb and forefinger, his hand kneading her breast as his mouth suckled the other, his teeth gently nibbling. Her womb spasmed, cream coated his cock. Nothing, nothing could feel as wonderful as this. She screamed another orgasm, her channel and ass clenching around the two wonderful cocks imbedded deep within her body.
“Shit, Aliana. You’re so tight,” Drace moaned, his teeth clamped together, his neck bulging with the effort to hold back his own climax.
Griffin groaned behind her. Like Drace, his movements became faster, more choppy, as though he could barely move, as though if he moved he would come, but if he didn’t he would die.
Moving with them, she felt another climax growing closer. Clenching her teeth, she squeezed 78
her eyes shut in an attempt to concentrate, to hold back. She wanted them all to come together.
Griffin’s breath came in short gasps as her rear rubbed against him every time she met Drace’s upward movements.
The force of each powerful thrust drove her higher, closer to her own release. She mewled, trying to tell them to hurry, she needed this, needed to come, but she was sure, they were nothing more than mindless cries of pleasure.
Perspiration dripped from her body, mingling with that of her lovers. Her body slid sensuously against Drace as Griffin held her from behind.
Drace continued to alternately suckle and nibble her breasts while Griffin leaned down and suckled the curve of her neck. She climaxed when they each nipped one of her shoulders, their teeth sinking into her flesh. Whatever their reason, the pleasure pain was the most erotic thing she’d ever felt in her life.
* * * *
Aliana’s climax triggered Drace’s own. He’d barely survived the tightness of her sex, the wet, slick slide of his cock into her silken channel. Griffin followed them both, an expression of complete bliss upon his face.
Above him, Aliana slid into unconsciousness.
79
After Griffin stood, went to his backpack and pulled a wetwipe from the disposable pack, he bathed Aliana’s ass, then himself, before rolling over and tucking her securely against his front.
They may reach Paradise a bit later than they’d first expected, but it was worth every second of their tardiness.
They’d been on the trail little more than an hour when Drace’s internal alarm went off. Reaching out with his senses, he tried to figure out where the danger lay. Someone was on their trail, he just couldn’t pinpoint where they were. Sighing, he wished he dared to change forms. As an animal, he could sniff them out—find them no matter where they were or how silently they hid in the dense underbrush. He glanced around them casually, trying not to alarm Aliana. She’d already been through too much the last few days. Besides, the last thing he wanted was for her to panic, run off and get herself captured. No matter how alone they appeared to be, he couldn’t shake the feeling that they were hunted.
He looked up, wishing for a bird or small tree animal, but there was none. Old majestic oaks, stately cedar and tall maple trees stood silent but for the rustling of the leaves in the slight breeze and the rush of sap through their veins. Holding up a hand, he signaled the others to be quiet, 80
listening to the rush of air through the leaves.
Nothing. Not even a squirrel stirred in the trees to help him find his quarry. Perhaps he was just being over cautious and it was all his imagination.
I feel it, too, old friend. I only wish I could figure out where they are.
Drace grunted his agreement, ignoring the perplexed look Aliana cast his way. If I didn’t know better, I’d think they were Tudra . I would think them shifters, at the very least. Whoever they are, they’re good. I’ll give them that. They had to be. He and Griffin both had been trained Tudra and they had been among the very best. As all of Adam Greer’s men had been. That was how they’d managed to regain power in Paradise. He’d been so completely occupied with his inspection of the forest around him, he turned, startled when she cried out and nearly fell. Instead, she’d fallen into Griffin’s arms.
“She tripped on an exposed root.” Griffin pointed to the unearthed culprit. It was larg
e, thick. The earth around it was black, moist from the root’s violent exposure.
“Are you okay?” He knelt, his hands gently probing her ankle and foot. “Your ankle doesn’t appear swollen. Want to try it out?”
Griffin held her by the shoulders while she tested it.
Frowning, her lip between her teeth, she put weight on it a few times. “It hurts a little, but I 81
think I can manage.”
Still kneeling, Drace studied the root and the freshly exposed soil and surrounding vegetation.
Lowering his voice, he waved Griffin closer. “I think this was a set up, but I can’t be sure. Leaning down, he sniffed the dirt, doing his best to utilize the senses he had, giving it a more thorough investigation. “I don’t think Aliana’s slight weight could have yanked so much of this from the ground.” He lifted it, showing Griff the root was half the thickness of his wrist.
“I’m slowing us down. You knew I would.” The expression on Aliana’s face was apologetic. “I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be silly. You aren’t slowing us down.”
Not that much, anyway. Drace wanted to smile, but the danger he sensed wouldn’t allow it. It wasn’t the time. It was time to act. To ferret out their stalkers and put an end to their existence. Closing his eyes, Drace used his magic to seek out their stalkers. Until Ali knew what they were though, they could do nothing about them. Clan laws forbid telling an outsider what they were. The life of the entire community depended on secrecy and stealth. They lived their lives, hiding just out of sight—leaving Paradise only long enough to travel to larger towns and big cities to get supplies that couldn’t be made or grown by the townsfolk.
