Mari’s lips broke away from Gage as she cried out her pleasure, the feeling too strong to bottle up. Felix moved, placing Mari in a position to enter her before he removed his clothes. Mari’s thighs came up as Felix came back to her, pulling him into her body as Gage moved over her, his lips brushing her breasts before moving down, his tongue finding her clit just as Felix moved into her.
Gage’s probing hands pulled at Mari’s flesh, pulling her clit up to his tongue. His flicking flesh almost skidded away as her lips wrapped around his own hard flesh, the sensitive head of his cock plunging deep into her throat as she sucked at him. Mari stilled, letting Gage fuck into her throat as Felix pushed into her below, his body fitting perfectly between her thighs.
The only person able to make a sound was Felix and his cries of pleasure and delight urged the other two on as he watched them. Felix moved into Mari, watching as Gage’s hips plunged down and down, always into Mari’s mouth, filling her at both ends. Felix tried to hold back his pleasure as he watched them but the pleasure was driving up his balls, into his cock and he simply couldn’t stop it.
Mari felt the first pulse of Felix’s hot cream and her body arched into him, wanting every drop he had to give her. She pushed back into him, wanting to prolong his pleasure but he moved away, pulling Gage with him to take his place. Gage groaned as he once more slipped inside of Mari. His home, his favorite place in the world.
Felix sat back and watched as the pair consumed each other, Gage embracing her, pulling her to him as Mari did the same. They created a tangled web of limbs that Felix could barely decipher as they moved together, their bodies joined not just in pleasure but somehow in a spiritual way. Felix had felt the pleasure of being inside Mari, had felt things he’d never felt before, but he knew this was not his final resting place. The thought made him sad but he’d be honest with the pair. They were meant for each other, but he wasn’t going far, not now. He had far more to explore with his two best friends than a one night stand. Far more.
As Gage found his release Mari joined him, a moment of passion that took her breath away. She felt something deep inside click and she knew, she knew that Gage was it for her for the rest of her life. They were one now. The moment was marred with sadness as she caught her breath and looked over at Felix.
“You’re mated now, my love, my little sister. But we can still play and I will always be there for you. Just because we are not mated as well does not mean I can’t be your lover as well. It’s something about us bears, we mate for life but we don’t have to be monogamous. We can be quite shocking when we’re together in fact. Quite shocking.” Felix told Mari with a grin that she knew held promises he’d keep.
Gage pulled her over him on their pallet and put her between him and Felix once more, more than willing to share the woman he’d now claimed as his own. An odd thought, he observed, but still, she was his but he would not stop her mating with anyone she desired. And tonight that included Felix.
They all settled for the moment, a long day that started off with fear and shock ending in peace and bliss. Felix turned to Mari and she turned to Gage, a blanket appeared, and soon they were all asleep, content that life was as it should be.
But it wasn’t.
At 3 am Mari awoke to the sound of metal tinkling against glass. Confused by the sound she stood up, pulling another blanket around her as she went, deciding that she’d go to the bathroom during her search for the odd noise. It was a strange place for her, the cabin, so the noise might be normal, she didn’t know. It wasn’t anything to wake the men over, she knew that much.
Walking over to the kitchen she saw nothing that could be making the sound and followed her ears, listening for the sound. It seemed to be coming from the bathroom. Good, she was heading in that direction anyway, she thought to herself.
Mari went into the bathroom and suddenly the darkness became deeper and filled with pain that exploded in her head. As she fell to the floor Mari knew something had hit her but had no time for any other thought before she lost consciousness.
Mari awoke with a moan, her hand moving to her head. Or it tried to. Something was holding her arms down. Mari struggled until she realized she couldn’t move at all and her eyes seemed to be covered with something. What terrified her the most, however, was the cold water she seemed to be floating in. She must be in the bathtub. As she finally came to her senses Mari also noticed a thin reedy voice, singing a bizarre song about loving the dead and dancing with corpses. A band across her mouth wasn’t enough to keep her from screaming in total fear and horror as she filled her lungs and yelled as loud as she could.
In an instant Mari heard twin roars coming from somewhere in the house and storming feet. The bathroom door caved in, or so she suspected, and Felix and Gage were there, the sound of a body thumping against a wall with a screech telling her the captor was in hand. A ferocious growl broke out from one of the men and the man screamed, a sound filled with pain as his skin sliced open on sharp claws.
Then Mari heard Gage’s voice. He spoke quietly, the promise of death in his tone.
“Why are you here?” He asked.
“The woman, I’ve come for the woman. She expressed her love to me in the gas station with her touch but you two have made her unclean. I had to make her clean once more. She is mine; you must let me have her.” The thin voice of a man came to Mari’s ears.
“Tell me why I shouldn’t let her mate kill you?” Felix threatened.
“Because she is mine! We are to dance in the fairy circle at dawn and gather wildflowers by the light of the moon.” The man’s quavering voice was shaking with doubt, but not fear.
“Gage, don’t let him up but don’t kill him. This man is obviously off his rocker. I’ll call the police.” Felix strode back into the living room, putting his phone on the speaker function as he pulled Mari from the water and wrapped her in a towel. He spoke into the phone, telling the police the address as he carried Mari into a bedroom, making sure she was alright before he went back into the bathroom, carrying the rope he’d removed from Mari.
“Right, I’ll tie him up then you shift Gage. The police will just take his tale of bears as more of his lunacy. Come on then buddy, let me tie him up.” Felix tried to shift Gage but he refused to budge.
Gage’s right front paw was on the man’s throat and for a moment Felix thought Gage was going to kill the man. He could see it in Gage’s eyes, the desire to kill, to protect his mate. Then it was gone and the man fell limply into Felix’s arms.
Later that evening, in a hotel far away, the men bathed Mari in a whirlpool tub filled with bubbles as the detective on Gage’s phone relayed the information he had to them.
“His name’s Lonny Evans. He’s got a record for petty stuff but nothing more. He’s been unbalanced for a while now. This will get him locked up for a while and we’ll keep you informed. Mari will get her phone back when we’re done with it. We won’t let the pictures leak, by the way. Or the video.” The detective sounded a bit embarrassed so they all let that pass.
“Thanks detective, we appreciate it. Keep in touch.” Gage turned the phone off, not an easy accomplishment with a soapy bubble covered hand.
“Hopefully that’s that then. We can get back to what’s really important now. Which one of you is going to get inside of me first tonight? Because I need you both and Felix promised me something I’d dearly love to try.” Mari said with an inviting smile that had both men throbbing instantly.
“Oh, little sister, you are a bad one.” Felix growled at her as he joined her in the tub, his robe falling away.
“I think I have an idea about that promise. And I call bottom for that if we’re doing that in this tub. I can get a good grip with my feet as Felix takes you from the front, Mari. Oh my, you are going to be a puddle soon aren’t you my love?” Gage asked as Mari moved to him.
Mari couldn’t help but smile a grin of satisfaction. Their journey had been bumpy, filled with more than one shock, and had been a trial o
ver the last 24 hours but the ending was their new beginning. Felix would eventually go his own way, Mari was sure of that, but she had him for now. It would hurt when he left but she knew he’d be going on to bigger and better things. He deserved everything a woman had to give him, after all.
And Gage would love her, would fill that gap. Gage who whispered in her ear now of how he’d always loved her but thought she’d never want him. Gage who now promised his devotion, his entire being to her. Mari slipped into his arms, longing to feel him joining her as Felix did the same, and knew that this really was only the beginning. The beginning of something out of this world that would change them all forever. That would make them far more than friends, it would make them partners in every sense of the word.
