Clayton

Keeping a firm grip on
Penny’s face, I made sure I didn’t go too deep as Marshall thrust her forward
onto me. Her hair was brushing back and forth over my hips, and the glorious
wet heat of her mouth was sucking my erection perfectly. The pleasure was
mind-numbing, and I was getting close to coming. Normally, I’d hold off and try
to stretch things out. But the sooner we all climaxed this first time, the
sooner I could bite my mate and claim her. And because she was my mate, I could
orgasm several times before going soft. Today was going to be a very good day.

“
I’m nearly there,
beautiful. You ready to swallow me down?”

She hummed her answer, and
that was it. The vibrations too much to resist. My eyes rolled back while I
thrust deep and emptied myself into my mate for the very first time. Marshall’s
growl along with Penny’s screams filled the room a few seconds later as they
found their releases, too. Penny’s squeal of alarm moments later had me jerking
my head up. I barely missed head-butting her as Marshall shoved her up my
chest. With a wide grin I gripped her shoulders to help move her into place. I
gave her a hard kiss on the lips before I nuzzled my way through her hair to
her neck. Knowing Marshall was doing the same on the other side I licked once
over the soft skin at the base of her throat before I allowed my jag to shift
my teeth so I could sink them deep into her flesh.

As the rich taste of her
blood filled my mouth, I came again, covering her belly and mine with my seed.
Penny screamed and shuddered as she reached her peak for the second time.
Licking her wound to heal it, I moved back to kiss her deeply. I’d never get
enough of this woman, of her taste, of her body.

“
I love you, Penny. I have
for years already, and I’ll continue to until the end of time.”

“
Me too, Clayton.”

I sat her up so she
straddled my waist and moved my palm down to rub my seed into her skin. Humans
would never be able to smell it, but any shifter that came anywhere near her
would scent she was claimed and spoken for. I glanced up to see Marshall giving
her a passionate kiss that left our sweet, horny mate rocking herself against
my abs.

As the pair shared their
own “I love
you’s
”, I moved her down enough for me to
slide my dick into her wet channel. Oh man, I thought her mouth was perfect…
Her pussy was something beyond that. Her tight muscles rippled their
invitation, and I took it as I held her hips and began thrusting deep.

I couldn’t believe how
stupid Marshall and I had been. We could have been enjoying this, this
pleasure, this connection, for years if we hadn’t been so hardheaded. Penny
might be all light and sunshine, but she had an inner strength of pure steel
that was more than strong enough to tame her mates. Both inside the bedroom and
out.

I continued to make love to
my mate, while Marshall stood and slid his erection deep into Penny’s mouth.
This right here was how I wanted to wake up every morning. This beat any food
or coffee as a way to wake up right. My loving sexy mate riding me while
pleasuring my brother and co-mate.

A long time later, once
we’d completely worn her and ourselves out, I lay contently spooned up behind
her sleeping form. My mind was pleasantly floating with thoughts of the future,
and one idea in particular stuck as something I couldn’t wait to do with my new
mate. The three of us needed to go for a run in our jag forms together. I couldn’t
wait to see what kind of jag Penny would be. Would she be a spotted golden or a
pure black one?

Epilogue

Penny

A strange heat flashed
through my system, and I shook my head in an attempt to dispel it. It had been
three weeks since I mated with my two jags, and I was now fairly used to my
body doing random things at random moments. One day, my vision suddenly flicked
over to high resolution. I tripped over my feet, and if Clayton hadn’t been
with me, I’d have landed face-first on the footpath.

Today, my men had brought
me out for a picnic in the
Pureba
Conservation
Reserve, and I was not going to let my ever changing body ruin it. We were
celebrating. We’d all just come from the Alpha’s house, where he officially
made me part of the Paranormal Assessment & Containment Taskforce. I had my
dream! I’d get to spend my life stopping
firestarters
and other criminals.

I ran my hand absently over
my stomach. There was only one unfulfilled dream left. A family. I had my
happily married,
er
, mated. Now, I wanted babies.
Marshall and Clayton told me it was very common for a newly mated shifter to
conceive on her first cycle. Something about the first shape shift boosting
ovulation or something.
Hmm, I wonder if
that means I’ll have
twins?

“
Beautiful? Did we lose you again?”

Clayton was laughing
between his words. Heat filled my cheeks. I couldn’t seem to help it lately.
I’d get caught up in my head and just, kind of, stop doing whatever it was that
I was in the middle of.

“
Sorry. So, this park is
great! So much untouched bushland. We have to come here more often.”

Marshall stalked up to me,
and I grinned as he reached me. Contentment flowed through me as I tilted my
face up for a kiss. With a quiet growl, he cupped my face and kissed me into a
melted pile of goo. Damn, but both my men could kiss me senseless in half a
second. I hummed as I felt warmth against my back and Clayton palmed my hips.

“
You’re ready for your first
shift, beautiful.”

I jerked away from
Marshall’s lips to glance at Clayton. “How do you know I’m ready?”

“
Did you feel all hot a few
minutes ago?”

I frowned. “Well, yeah, but
my body’s doing all sorts of strange crap lately.”

Marshall tapped the end of
my nose with a fingertip.

“
We smelled it as it flowed
through and out of you. Your hormones peaked. They’ve been fluctuating for a
day or so now. The scent has been driving us both up the wall!”

“
Ah. Okay.” I allowed the
excitement to build within me. I couldn’t wait to turn into a cat. I wanted to
know what it all felt like, to shift, to walk around as an animal … chase a
rabbit. I wanted it all!

“
You two are going to shift
too, right? All three of us are going to go running together?”

“
You bet we are. I’ve been
looking forward to seeing what your colorings look like.”

I frowned up at Clayton.
“What do you mean?”

“
Typically a human female
when claimed, will take on the colorings of her mate. But as you know, I’m a
golden spotted jag and Marshall is a pure black one. So, I’m not sure which way
you’ll go.”

That reminded me of the
times they’d both shifted so I could pet them. They’d rubbed their smooth sleek
bodies up against my legs and allowed me to bury my face in their fur. Damn, I
was done waiting to try this.

“
Well, okay then. Let’s do
this! How do I change?”

“
Strip down naked, and focus
on seeing yourself as a jaguar. Follow your instincts and you’ll shift in a
flash. It doesn’t take long.”

Okay, I could do that.
Taking a deep breath in, I willed my clothes away. Then, as I exhaled I closed
my eyes and focused on being a sleek jaguar. I felt myself tilt forward and
opened my eyes to see paws.

I had paws!

I chuffed as I pranced
around on my very own four feet. Oh man, this felt so good! I was a cat! I was
totally a jaguar! But I was still me. I’d worried I’d lose myself somehow when
I turned, but I hadn’t. I was still me, just with fur and four legs. My eyes
peeled wide when I felt a tug on my tail. With a growl I swung around to see
Clayton’s jaguar with laughter in his eyes.

“
Look! I’m really a cat!”

“
I know, beautiful. You’re
the prettiest jaguar on the planet. Look at your coat. It’s black with slightly
lighter spots. You look spectacular.”

I twisted to look at my
side and twitched as the sun showed my spots.
Wow.
That was bloody amazing.

A rough tongue over the
side of my snout had me chuffing again.
Hmmm.
Marshall.

“
How about that run, baby?”

“
Let’s go! You know I am so
totally completely in love with both of you, right?”

“
We feel the same about you,
beautiful. And after our run, we’ll show you exactly how much by making sure
you get that baby you want so much.”

“
That we all want so much.
Sheesh, Marshall, way to screw up your romantic declaration.”

Happiness and laughter
filled my mind as I took off running between my two mates. Could life get any
better than this?

The only thing I truly
regretted was that my parents weren’t still alive to see it.
