What would you do for love?
Tony and Bryan, a bonded pair, have everything they could possibly want, except a woman to share it with. Owning a lavish multi-level club doesn’t make it any easier. Finding a woman that catches both their attentions has proven to be harder than they expected.
Annette wants to find the type of happiness her best friend has. Braelynn marrying a shifter opened Annette’s eyes to new possibilities. Agreeing to go on a date with a shifter, she was mind boggled to find not one but two men waiting for her.
Everything was going smoothly until a jealous ex came to claim Bryan for herself. Can Annette keep the men she’s grown so fond of?

One
Annette watched as newlyweds, Ronan and Braelynn, made their way to the front of the room. Annette knew her best friend had finally found her happiness. One day, she’d find that kind of happiness of her own. Until then, she’d continue to surf on the ocean of men. Plucking one out every now and then. She just hadn’t found a man she’d actually commit to.
Ronan pulled Braelynn’s garter off with his teeth and flicked it behind him into the group of single men. His best man, Greyson, caught the garter and cheers erupted. Knowing the bouquet toss would be next, Annette made her way toward the center of the room. Suddenly, she was bumped from the side causing her to lose balance for a moment.
“Sorry,” Annette said grabbing on to the closest arm beside her.
“No worries. Everyone gets in an uproar at this part of a wedding reception.” The top of the woman’s head was just over Annette’s shoulder.
“I wasn’t,” Annette began but was caught in the rush of single women heading to the center.
Looking back, Annette searched for the woman. Short white hair caught Annette’s eyes as the woman weaved through the crowd of onlookers. The woman seemed familiar. She racked her brain as she made her way to the front of the group, where Braelynn told her to stand. The woman smiled at her. With a nod Annette hoped to convey her apology for being rude and rushing off.
“Alright ladies. It’s that time.” Ronan called out and more women joined the group.
Crossing her fingers, Annette hoped she wasn’t going to have to fight anyone over the bouquet. Braelynn glanced at her then turned back around, tossing the bouquet into the air. Instead of soaring to the center of the crowd, it hit the ceiling beam causing it to drop straight down to Annette. She jumped up stretching out her arm. She grabbed hold of the bouquet just as two more sets of hands came her way. They missed their mark. A few mumbled curses and some congratulations, then the crowd dispersed.
“Great catch,” the woman said walking up to her. “I’m Gerri Wilder.”
“You’re the one that hooked Braelynn up with Ronan. I thought I recognized you,” she said.
“That’s right. I could do the same for you, too,” Gerri offered.
Looking at Braelynn and Ronan, she watched as they shared a few kisses while dancing. Remembering the way Braelynn described flying with Ronan geared her into a decision.
“I’ll take one like Ronan. Hell, I’ll take two,” she claimed with a smiled.
“Be careful what you wish for,” Gerri warned her.
“I wish for two sexy men to sweep me off my feet.” Of course, she didn’t really expect two men, but the thought of being with two had always turned her on.
For the next half hour, she sat with Gerri talking like they hadn’t seen each other in years. Gerri asked a bunch of random questions. At least they seemed random to her but Gerri assured her it was to help find the perfect match. Gerri gave her a hug before she left the party. Annette spotted BJ sitting alone, and decided to keep her company.
“You two seemed cozy,” BJ stated, nodding towards Gerri as she left.
“Does this mean you changed your mind?” Braelynn came over to the table.
“It means I’ll give it a try.” She looked up at Braelynn, who was grinning from ear to ear.
“You’re going to be glad you did. I’m telling you, that woman can work magic on your love life.”
“My love life is fine. It’s finding someone I don’t want to strangle after a week that’s the problem.”
“That’s still your love life.” Braelynn laughed.
“Fine! Yes, my love life could use a little help then,” she admitted. Jules came to the table with a plate of cake, and sat down beside her.
“What’d I miss?” Jules said forking a piece of cake in her mouth.
“Annette’s struggling love life.” BJ laughed.
“Hey,” Annette stuck her tongue out at BJ. “It’s not that bad.”
“How many men have you gone through in the last six months?” Braelynn asked, putting her hand on her hip.
“Not as many as you, but that’s beside the point.”
“Sounds like that is the point.” Jules pointed her fork at Annette.
“I can’t help it. Guys are aggravating. Here lately, they’re all selfish ass nuggets. It’s always how I can please them. Then get mad when I call them out on it,” she explained.
“You can’t be hot and cold. Guys don’t know what to do with women like that. I bet whoever Gerri finds will be perfect,” Braelynn said, twisting in her seat. “I mean, look who she found for me.”
“Thinking of me, beautiful.” Ronan came over with his hands loaded with wine glasses. “Ladies,” he offered each of them a glass.
“I’m always thinking of you,” Braelynn smiled up at him. “Everything will be fine,” she assured Annette as Ronan bent down to kiss his wife.
“We’ll see.” Annette hoped to hear from Gerri soon. She followed BJ and Jules onto the dance floor, leaving Braelynn and Ronan to their newly wedded bliss.

“I still think we could have gone to the wedding,” Bryan said, walking over to Tony.
“We need to get the twelf
th floor open so we can start on the basement level before summer starts,” Tony informed him for the tenth time.
“We’ll get it done. One evening of fun would have been nice. Plus, all Braelynn’s girlfriends were there. We’d finally get to meet them.”
“If Braelynn couldn’t get those women to come into our regular club, what makes you think they would be okay with us? Heads N’ Tails is who we are. They’d have to accept us and this whole establishment.”
“It’s possible for us to find a woman that will.” Bryan leaned against the kitchen counter and pulled Tony into his arms. “Ronan said he called Gerri at Paranormal Dating Agency. Maybe we should too. It’s not like we leave this building much.”
“We have everything we need here. Besides, we don’t need a dating agency,” Tony insisted.
“Tony, you work every floor here. No one has pushed the right buttons for us. Casual women don’t count. We need to branch out.”
“Aren’t I enough for you?” Tony grabbed Bryan’s shirt, pulling it over his head.
“Of course, you are. But you know as well as I do, that’s only half of who we are. We need our other half, our female. She’s out there, somewhere.” Bryan pulled Tony’s shirt off, exposing his muscular chest. “How about some fun before we go into work tonight?”
“I was wondering if you were taking my hint.” Tony smiled, and pressed his lips to Bryan’s. “Whoever gets there first gets to bat.”
Tony took off toward the bedroom, but Bryan wasn’t worried. With longer legs, he was able to get in front of Tony. Once he was in the bedroom he jumped on the bed, taking his claim.
“I let you win tonight,” Tony stated, pulling off his jeans and leaving them on the floor.
“Sure you did.” Bryan wiggled out of his pants and dropped them off the side of the bed. “Why don’t you park that sweet cock over here? I’ll reward you for your efforts.” He patted the spot beside him.
“Hell yeah!” Tony crawled into bed, turned around, and laid with his feet near the headboard.
Tony’s cock was perfectly positioned in front of Bryan. With only an hour before they had to be back downstairs, Bryan didn’t waste any time. Firmly gripping Tony’s cock, Bryan pumped it a couple of times as he leaned in taking him into his mouth. After years together, Bryan knew exactly how Tony wanted it. Just as Tony knew how he liked it. Tony’s gentle caresses and soft lips stroked Bryan’s hard cock. Pleasure built inside him, and he tightened his grip on Tony’s cock. Not wanting to come right now, Bryan got up. While Tony laid on his back, Bryan grabbed the bottle of lube from the nightstand. He applied some to the head of his cock and put the bottle back. Tony smiled up at him while scooting over, laying on his back. Bryan positioned himself between Tony’s legs, spreading Tony’s ass checks for a smoother thrust.
“Go deep,” Tony said, as Bryan pushed inside of him.
Bryan thrust deep as he took Tony’s cock in his hands, pumping to the same rhythm. Tony reached up pinching Bryan’s nipples, and flicked his nipple ring.
“Wouldn’t you like a nice tight pussy wrapped around your cock as I thrust into you?” Bryan squeezed Tony’s cock as he pumped.
“Yeah,” Tony breathed out.
“You could always eat her pussy as she’s sucking you off while I pump you full.” Bryan suggested.
“Fuck, yeah!” Tony said, louder as Bryan tightly pumped him. “Keep going.”
“We haven’t had a woman together in a while. Don’t you want her juices drenching your face right now?” Bryan thrust hard into him.
Tony moaned out, and Bryan knew he was ready for his release. Bryan used both hands to pump Tony’s cock as he made long, hard thrusts.
“She could be sucking my cock while you fuck her tight pussy from behind.”
That was all it took. Tony’s cum shot out as Bryan’s own release came. Once the sensitivity was gone, Bryan pulled out and went to the bathroom for a shower. As hot water ran down his back, he heard Tony come in.
“Join me,” Bryan called out to him.
Tony stepped in on the opposite end of the large stone shower. As usual, Tony’s shower was opposite from his. Bryan liked his water as hot as it would go, where Tony liked his ice cold.
“Alright, let’s do it.” Tony agreed, as he stepped under the water.
“Do what?” Bryan played dumb.
“Call Gerri. Let’s see if she can find us a woman to share.” Tony leaned his head back into the shower spray.
“Thought you’d see it my way.”
“You paint a good picture.” Tony threw cold water at Bryan.
“This will be good for us,” Bryan told him. How else would they be complete if they didn’t have a woman at their sides? “I’ll call Gerri when we get out.”

Annette sat at her desk putting in orders for Friday’s delivery. She spent most of the day doing inventory for the restaurant she managed. A little bummed, she thought Geri would have called her already. After all, she had Braelynn a date the next day. Maybe she isn’t meant to be with a shifter and that’s why Gerri hadn’t called her. Her cell phone rang, making her jump.
“Hello?” She answered on the second ring.
“Annette? This is Gerri.”
“Hi, I was wondering if you forgot about me,” Annette admitted.
“I didn’t forget,” Gerri said. “I needed to make sure I had the right match for you. Sometimes these things take time.”
“So, you found a match?” Annette asked.
“Oh, indeed I did. When are you available to meet? Would tonight be too soon?”
“I should be getting off work in about an hour.” Annette looked at the clock hanging by the office door. “What time did you have in mind?”
“I’ll set you up for reservations at 8:30. How’s that sound?”
“Okay, text me the address.” Annette didn’t want to sound too thrilled.
“Great, the reservation will be under Bryan Steele.” Gerri said. “I think you’ll enjoy what I’ve come up with.”
By the time she said goodbye, Annette’s stomach started fluttering. She was actually going to do this. Her first date with a shifter. She closed her eyes and imagined standing in front of her closet. She wouldn’t have much time to get ready, so she needed to have something in mind for when she got home. After mentally picking out two dresses, she focused back on her orders. A few minutes later, her phone chimed with a message. Gerri sent her the address of the restaurant she’d meet Bryan at. Briefly, she wondered what type of shifter he was, then looked up the address on her phone. Skyline, a beautiful skyline restaurant popped up on her screen. That’s definitely not a sports bar. There won’t be any hot wings or darts tonight. She’d have to rethink her attire.
She wasn’t able to leave work for nearly two hours. She rushed to her apartment, thankful she only lived fifteen minutes from the restaurant she managed. There was no time to go by a salon so she’d have to make do herself. Once she was in the elevator, she looked at the time on her cell phone. It was almost seven, that didn’t give her much time. Why did she agree to do this tonight? She should have put it off until Friday, but then she’d have to cancel because she’d have to be at the restaurant for deliveries. Suck it up, buttercup. The moment the elevator doors slid open, she rushed down the hall to her apartment.
Once in her apartment, she closed the door behind her and twisted the deadbolt. It would be nice if Braelynn was back from her honeymoon to help her pick a dress. She walked into her room, stripping as she went. Originally, she picked out a red dress and a blue dress to try on. Now that she knew her date would be at Skyline, she needed to upgrade her choice. Opening her closest door, she glanced at her wardrobe. She pulled out her deep purple gown. It was formal yet simple. She laid her dress out on the bed and went to shower and shave.
Getting out of the shower, she wrapped a towel around her body and one around her hair. Thankfully her hair wasn’t super long, so it wouldn’t take long to dry. She went t
o her dresser to find the sexiest pair of thongs she owned and a matching strapless bra. With her hair still wrapped, she put on her undergarments and went back into the bathroom to blow dry her hair. Once she pulled her hair up, she curled the tips and checked the time. She’d be cutting it close on time, that’s for sure. She quickly applied her makeup, and doused her hair with hairspray.
Closing the bathroom door, she looked long and hard in the full-length mirror. It’s been a long time since she’s been on a real date. Most the time, it was sports bars and night clubs. This would be a good change. If only she had another opinion on her appearance. She wanted to look perfect. Pulling her laptop from her work bag, she opened it up to video chat with Jules. Normally she would just call Braelynn over but she wouldn’t be back for a week.
“Come on, Jules. Pick up,” Annette spoke while waiting on Jules to accept the chat. Finally, Jules’ face popped up on the screen.
“Hi, Annette.” Jules waved into the screen.
“I need your opinion.” Annette set her laptop down on the bed and took a few steps back. “How do I look?”
“Holy toledo, you look gorgeous,” Jules claimed.
“Are you sure? How about my hair?” Annette asked, putting a curl back in its place. The camera on Jules’ end began to shake as another figure popped into view.
“Holy moly, Annette! You look stunning,” Jules’ husband commented.
“Thanks, John.” She appreciated a man’s input.
“See? I told you,” Jules said. “Where are you going?”
“On a real date. No sports bar tonight.” Annette laughed. “I’m meeting him at Skyline.”
“You look fabulous. Your date is a lucky man,” Jules said. “Now get off your computer and go have some fun.”
“Thanks, I’ll talk to you tomorrow.” Annette closed her computer.
