Chapter Eight

Being snowed in without power had never ever been so good. I had spent the last few days being pleasured in every way imaginable.

And then some.

I was wandering around the kitchen getting a drink of water around two in the morning. The power had finally come back on but I hadn’t bothered with turning the light on. The soft flicker of flames from the double-sided fireplace gave plenty of light to see. I was going right back to bed so I didn’t see the need for it. Hell, I hadn’t even bothered putting a shirt on to ward off the slight chill.

I snorted to myself at the changes in me. The idea of prancing around naked would have horrified me a month ago. Nothing built self-confidence better than two men who had literally worshipped every inch of me, telling me just how beautiful I was.

I had protested at first but Samuel had nipped that in the bud.  A memory of his chiding came to mind.

Samuel raised an arrogant eyebrow at me. “So, you’re presuming to tell an incubus what is and isn’t sexy?”

Considering the ways he had showed just how sexy he found me…Yeah, I was seriously contemplating doing it again.

I put my glass in the sink and was lost in thought for a few moments, so much so I didn’t even realize I wasn’t alone until a warm body pressed against my back.

Alec.

A hungry growl sent a shiver through me as his hand cupped my pussy and speared me with two fingers. “Hello to you, handsome,” I moaned as his fingers went deeper and I lifted my leg to open myself even more.

“I woke up hard for you and you weren’t there.” His teasing pout drew a smile from me.

“Aww, I’m sorry baby, can I make it up to you?” My chuckle turned to a gasp as his fingers slid out of my wet pussy and circled my other hole. A shudder racked me. I was new to ass play so they had been using fingers to get me used to it and I loved it.

I knew the goal was to prepare me to take a cock in that tight hole, so I could be fucked by both of them at once. And dear God how I wanted to feel them both in me, fucking me hard and deep as I was pinned between them.

Just the thought had me shifting to give him better access.

Alec sank a thick finger, still wet from my pussy, in to the second knuckle. “Good, you’re still stretched from earlier.” He pumped it gently for a few strokes. “I want your ass, Becca.”

Want, need, and a little thrill of fear shot through me. “Did you bring lube for that baseball bat you call a dick?” Cause, fuck yeah I wanted it, but he had the biggest cock I had ever had in me. A hand waved a bottle in front of me.

I swallowed as my ass clenched on his finger. “Okay then, my ass is yours.” His finger pulled out and to my surprise, instead of taking me to bed, he carried me to the dining table. I arched a brow at the towel he had rolled up under his arm. “That sure of yourself, were you?”

He shot me a wicked grin that surprised me. Samuel was usually the one with that expression, not my sweet wolf.

Alec set me on my feet then spread the thick towel on the table. “Mmm, I think I want a snack before the main course.”

I giggled as he lifted me to sit on the table, then a gasp escaped as he went to his knees and spread my legs. His fingers gently parted my bare folds then he lightly tongued my clit. My hands clutched at his head as he tormented me with teasing licks and nips.

Then another mouth covered mine and I moaned into Samuel’s kiss, mewling when his hands tormented my nipples. Heat, need, and a burning lust were the only things I felt when Samuel laid me back on the table. Alec’s tongue flicked me more forcefully and I heard the pop of the lube bottle, then he was sinking his finger into my ass, gently moving it as I rocked against him.

Slowly, Alec inserted a second finger and surprisingly it didn’t hurt. He scissored his fingers to stretch me more. That time there was a small twinge but I didn’t want to stop. “More, Alec.” I gasped when he added a third finger and slid them in gentle strokes that had me wanting more. “God, that’s good.”

I felt Samuel chuckle as he sucked on my tit. “Him or me?”

“You’re the incubus, figure it out,” I said, knowing that if he looked he’d only see desire for both of them.

Alec’s fingers slid out of me and he stood up. He groaned when I lifted my legs higher to open up for him even more. “Damn, your little hole looks good and tight.” He placed the tip of his cock to me but before he pushed in, Samuel lifted his head.

“Wait, Alec.” Samuel looked down at me in concern. “I can glamour you, just a little so you don’t feel any discomfort.”

I shook my head. I hadn’t let him influence me like that yet, and I wished he would let it go. “I don’t want or need you to distract me from any pain. I want to feel— Alec, you—without any…” My words trailed off as his mouth tightened. I was missing something and it was hurting him but I just didn’t know what.

Samuel gave me a wry grin, but I could see a shadow in his eyes. “You want au natural?”

I nodded then I started to speak again but Samuel took my mouth in a kiss that took my breath away then Alec pushed and all thought was swept from my mind. The thick heat of his cock forcing its way in had me clutching at Samuel’s shoulders.

It hurt and burned but, oh God, there was a dark pleasure to it that I loved. Samuel pulled his mouth from mine, concern evident in his eyes. I shuddered as Alec sank in me a little deeper.

I slid my gaze to Alec. “More.”

Alec withdrew slightly and when he thrust back, he slid in a little deeper. “You feel so good, Becca.” He met Samuel’s gaze briefly, who nodded, then he pumped his hips and filled me in one slow, smooth stroke.

“Ahh!” The strangled yell escaped as I jerked against him, my delicate tissues burned and stretched as he bottomed out.
So full! But it was so damned good.
“God, Alec! Move!” I didn’t wait for him to respond before I was trying to slam against him on my own.

Alec took me at my word, moving in deep, steady strokes as the dark pleasure consumed me.

Samuel’s hand stroked my face as he whispered erotic encouragements to me and I needed to wipe the shadows from his eyes. My hand moved down his side to his hips then wrapped around his cock. He drew in a sharp breath as I tugged gently.

“Let me suck you.” I was close enough to the edge of table that when he stood up all I had to do was open my mouth and let him slide in as I made hungry little sounds. Lust and need had me dancing on the edge so soon, too soon as I was fucked in my ass, in my mouth. I wasn’t ready for it to be over but Alec’s thrusts were becoming harsher and his growls told me he was fighting not to come until I did.

My hand reached under Samuel to tug on his balls roughly, something that never failed to set him off. Alec’s fingers started rubbing my clit as he fucked me even harder.
Oh God!

I came hard, clenching down on his cock as I felt Alec shoot in me. My cries vibrated around Samuel’s dick and he let out a deep groan.  I swallowed the creamy cum that filled my mouth and licked him clean. My free hand came up to stroke Alec’s back as he collapsed on me. Samuel’s hand cupped my face as I looked up at him.

A deep warmth, which had little to do with the small shocks of pleasure that still coursed through me, settled in my chest. A wave of tenderness had me melting inside, as I realized how deeply they’d entwined themselves with me. Even if I could leave, it was becoming more and more obvious that I would never choose to.

I wondered when I would be able to say the words that I suspected already lived in my heart.

Chapter Nine

Weeks later I had still kept silent. I thought the words. I felt the words. They were on the tip of my tongue hundreds of times every day, but I just could not say them. Something held me back.

No, I had to be honest.

Samuel held me back.

No matter how the good the sex was—and it was beyond good, more like out of this world amazing—there was something in Samuel’s eyes that still caused doubts in me. He would look at me with such wistfulness, and sometimes it was closer to sadness, it had me desperate to figure it out.

The weather had finally warmed up enough that we could get out of the cabin and Alec had talked me into going for a walk. I had held out my hand to Samuel only for him to shake his head at me.

Alec had dragged me out when I had wanted to stay and talk to Samuel.

We had wandered around for an hour before heading back home.

I slowed my steps. “Alec, what am I doing wrong?”

“What do you mean?” He held out a hand to help as we started down a steep drop.

“Samuel. I’m hurting him and I don’t know how.” I bit my lip.

Alec sighed down at me. “Why aren’t you talking to him about it, Becca?”

“I’ve tried to, but he just says he’s happy.”

“He is. We both are.” Alec pulled me into his arms, and I held on to him tightly. “But you hold yourself back from him in ways you don’t with me.”

I shook my head. “That’s not true,” I insisted.

Alec stroked my hair. “You weigh every word you say with him. You stop and think before you touch him. That is very different than the way you are with me.” He sighed. “I don’t think he believes you have truly accepted him.”

I pulled away from Alec and threw my hands in the air. “What else do I have to do?”

“I don’t really know. Soon that asshole will be taken care of and we can take you away. Maybe once you aren’t trapped here with us he’ll believe…” Alec winced at my snarl.

“He thinks I am only here because of fucking David?” I was pissed now. “He thinks I’m lying about the way I feel?”

Alec’s eyes narrowed at me. “How
do
you feel, Becca? You never say the words.”

I drew back, a bit shocked at the anger in his words. “I…” I gulped up at him as I wondered if maybe I had it all wrong. “I tried to show you, both of you. Words can be easy so I…”

“Yeah, but as good as the sex is, it’s not all we need.” Alec shrugged.

I looked at him, horrified. “I didn’t mean sex.”

Alec’s eyes widened. “Oh hell.” He swallowed before he asked gently, “Baby, explain it to me.”

“I’ve tried to show you both how much I appreciate you, not just what you’re doing by hiding me.” I shrugged at him, at a loss to put into words just how I’d attempted to do it. When he just kept staring at me patiently, I had to try to explain. “I’m not fond of cooking. That’s why I’m a waitress instead of a cook.”

Alec tilted his head. “Then why have you been doing it so often?”

“Because I like taking care of you both. I want to hold your hands and cuddle on the sofa. If I’m walking past either of you, I have to reach out and brush my hand down your arm. Bump your arm with my shoulder. Cup your cheek and give you a peck on the lips,” I continued in a whisper. “I’ve never been a touchy-feely person before, but I like it with you and Samuel. I always want to touch you even if there isn’t going to be sex right then.” Then I looked at him wide eyed as I realized how that could sound. “But I love that I only have to touch either of you and you want me.”

“Oh fuck,” Alec swore under his breath. “We never thought…” His gaze softened. “We’re so used to hiding ourselves away unless Samuel had to feed.”

And they thought sex was the only thing that I wanted from them. “We need to find Samuel and get this…”

“Becca, get down!”

Alec’s shout shocked me, and I froze as he lunged closer. His strong arms wrapped around me, taking me to the ground before the several sharp cracks of sound even registered. Then we were up and running through the trees as I realized what I had heard.

Gunshots. 

I ran as hard and fast as I could, somehow managing not to trip as Alec pulled me with him, quicker than I could hope to move on my own. But it wasn’t too long before he slowed down and to my horror, fell to his knees.

“Alec!” I tried to pull him back up.

Alec was struggling for breath as he pushed me away. “Run, Becca! Hide until Samuel finds you. He’s on his way.”

The metallic smell that suddenly registered to my brain had me clutching at him. “No! Shift!” Alec would start to heal and maybe David would ignore an injured wolf. Especially if I led him away from Alec.

Alec shook his head slightly. “Bullet did too much damage, close to my heart. If I shift, the stress on the wound could kill me quicker than a shift can start to heal me. Now run!” He slumped to the ground, unconscious.

I never considered leaving him. My hands reached around him and somehow I found the strength to lift him enough to drag him with me. There was no way I would be fast enough to get him to safety.

But I tried. Oh, God, did I try.

I was trying to reach a fallen log, hoping if I hid Alec behind it I could lead David away from him. Because I bloody knew who had shot my mate. But I was about ten feet away when my time ran out.

David’s nasty voice came from behind me and told me to stop. I gently lowered Alec to the ground.

“How did you find me?” Not that I really cared, but every minute I dragged this out gave me time to figure out how to save my mates.

“I flagged your car. It was spotted in the ditch by a local. The police didn’t find anything when they looked, but they made a report with the license plate number on it,” David said. “I had to plan for a while then I started scouting the area. Found you the day before yesterday.”

The fucking car had only been there for about two hours while Samuel and Alec had healed me that night. My fists clenched in frustration at our bad luck.

“Why? What did Tony do to you?”

The bastard goddamned laughed at me. “It’s his own damn fault. He had to get all noble when he caught me fucking that underage hooker behind the diner.”

I closed my eyes for a moment as I finally understood. Tony tried to help a kid and it cost him his life. A tarnished knight to the very end.

“Turn around, Becca.” David’s snarl came from behind me.

“Why? So the last thing I see is your ugly face?” I didn’t see a damn thing that would work as a weapon.

“Well it is easier to frame you for killing both your boyfriends if you die from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.”

“That’s your play?” I asked incredulously as I searched for something—anything—to use against him. “That for some reason I went on a murderous rampage?” Then his words hit me.

Both.

Samuel! Nononono!

“I only see one boyfriend here.” I gritted my teeth against the ball of terror in my stomach.
He’s lying! Alec would’ve known if Samuel was hurt…was dead. Wouldn’t he?

There was still so much I didn’t understand about them and the familiar bond.

“Well, the other one was all alone and defenseless. He didn’t have much of a chance, went down pretty easy.” David’s malicious voice was a bit closer now.

I had spent weeks with Samuel now and he was many things. Teasing. Gentle. Passionate. Sexy.

Snarky, bitter and withdrawn.

And I laughed out loud with relief.

“What’s so funny?” David was closer and I hoped he would keep walking towards me if I didn’t turn around.

Maybe I could take him by surprise if he was close enough.

“You haven’t done anything to Samuel.” I chuckled again as I shifted to the balls of my feet. “Because if there is one thing I know about my mate—my Samuel is never easy.” Then I smiled as I felt the world go still.

And he is here!

He stepped through the thick branches, into the clearing, and I gasped as I saw this wasn’t the man I had spent the last few weeks with.

This Samuel was so much different that a chill went through me.

His eyes were gold fire and his face was much sharper with a feral beauty that I had never seen before. Then he looked at me and I saw a glimpse of my lover. “Becca, take care of Alec.”

David sputtered behind me as I looked down at Alec. “I have the gun. I give the orders.”

But I could feel the fear in his voice.

I dropped to my knees next to Alec, pressing my fingers to his throat as I looked to Samuel. I let a small cry of relief as I felt the thready pulse. “He’s alive, but he’s badly hurt.”

“I can heal him,” Samuel said to me, looking at Alec before his gaze caressed me as if…

David aimed his gun at Samuel but before he could pull the trigger Samuel focused on him and the gun fell to the ground. David was a big man, taller and broader than Samuel even if he wasn’t as big as Alec. He had blond hair and blue eyes in a well-balanced, square face. I had always thought he was good looking.

Until that night.

Then he had seemed larger than life and so, so dangerous. And now I watched in disbelief as his sneering face looked at my mate and twisted with lust. He took one step. Then another. His feet dragging as if he was being forced against his will to walk to Samuel.

Samuel slid his gaze to me. “Please look away, Sweetness.” I could see the pain and shame in his eyes before I did as he asked.

He’s going to feed on David so he can save Alec!

Hope filled my heart as I stroked Alec’s cheek. Then a low moan sounded and I couldn’t stop myself from looking.

Samuel was kissing David as the larger man rubbed against him. It was David making the needy sounds as Samuel held him close. I couldn’t force myself to stop staring in horror until I realized David’s sounds were getting quieter and he seemed to be growing paler.

Alec moaned. My gaze shot back to him. His color was better and to my joy, his pulse was stronger when I touched his throat.

Alec’s black eyes opened, and he groaned. “Stop…Stop him. Healed me enough.” He tried to sit up. “I’ll survive now. He’ll kill him.”

My lack of concern took me by surprise as I said, “You need to heal more and our secrets need to be kept. David deserves it.”

Alec attempted to rise but fell back down. “Not this way. It will destroy Samuel.”

“I thought he couldn’t lose his soul now that he has both of us.”

“There’s more than one way to lose himself, Becca!”

Samuel crying on a ship’s dirty floor as he glamoured Alec.

The sadness on his face as he offered me a future with Alec. A future without him because he didn’t think I could love him.

Horror shot through me as I remembered Alec’s words.

“That was the moment he started hating what he was.”

I understood now. I didn’t think as I scrambled to my feet. 
NO!
I wouldn’t let him hate himself any more. In seconds I was across the clearing and ripping David from Samuel as my mate yelled in protest. “He has to die!”

“I know. But you’re not the monster.” And I put the gun I had picked up to David’s mouth. “I am.”

I pulled the trigger.
