Enticing Their Mate (21 page)

“You don’t have any fond memories of him?” Perhaps that was too personal, but if they truly were interested in getting to know each other, they needed to share.

“I guess. When I was in seventh grade, my father took me on a hunting trip. It was at a time in my life when I was innocent and looked up to him. That weekend, he taught me how to shoot to rifle and how to take down a deer.”

She wasn’t a fan of the sport, but several of her friends’ husbands loved it. “I’m surprised your dad didn’t shift and teach you to take down the deer in your wolf form.”

“Actually, I wanted to, but Dad feared other hunters might shoot at us. If they had, it would have looked a bit odd if after a few minutes, we got up and ran off.”

“I see his point. Did you have fun learning to shoot?”

A small smile lifted his lips. “I did. The best part was when I killed one of those innocent creatures, but my dad failed to land one. I think I actually earned some of his respect that day.”

She wondered if he’d joined the Bureau to make his dad proud. She sank back against her seat. “I can’t imagine growing up without a father or having one who was absent.” The moment the words left her mouth, she realized that was exactly how Riley had grown up. She looked over at him and clasped his hand. “I’m sorry for what you had to go through. Is that why you two became friends?”

He shook his head. “No. Jay and I met at the Bureau when we were assigned a case together.”

The waiter interrupted their intimate conversation to deliver their bottle of wine. After pouring three glasses, he nodded and left. Riley held up his glass. “To us.”

Her hand shook as she tapped her glass, but she didn’t add to the toast. In a perfect world, she’d date the men for a few more months and possibly ride off into the sunset with them. But that dark cloud of an uncertain future billowed over their heads and could change their lives forever. She adored both of them, but she wasn’t ready to say
I do
anytime soon. She couldn’t tell if the only reason they were with her was because of the incredible sex, their need to find a mate, or if they truly cared for her. The answer to that question would require time.

They probably decided to
court
her because they’d sensed she wasn’t ready to declare she wanted to mate with them. Finding out more about them would help clarify her position.

“Jay, you never answered the question about how or why you were assigned to work with Statler.”

“Even before he became head of the Colter organization, the Bureau became aware of his evil deeds, and assigned me to go undercover there. The chose me specifically because he was my dad’s lawyer before moving to Florida.”

She sucked in a breath. “So he knew you?”

“He did. As I said, I was angry—the perfect person for him to recruit.”

Something didn’t add up. “How did you end up working at the FBI?”

“I came to my senses in college. My roommate’s father worked at the Bureau, and he thought it might be something I’d like. So after a stint in the service, I trained hard, applied to be an agent, and was accepted. When Statler’s name came up in association with human trafficking, I asked to go undercover. Because of my father’s connection to Statler, he welcomed me. All I had to do was act like my old self. The man never suspected anything was amiss until I tried to kill him.”

“I would have liked to have been a fly on that wall.”

Jay grinned then sipped his drink. The waiter returned for their order. Riley had once mentioned that he loved fish and proved it by ordering a cedar-planked Salmon. Jay had some kind of chicken dish, and she chose the steak. From seeing a few of the meals on other tables, all the dishes appeared to be delicious.

“What about you?” Riley asked. “Did you and your dad get along?”

“We did, mostly because he was often on tour in the Middle East. My father was a Staff Sergeant in the Marines, and needless to say, he was tough. Perhaps, because I was an only child, he wanted to impart all of his beliefs and wisdom to me. I had to learn at an early age how to accept responsibility and do what was right. Always.”

Riley leaned closer. “Did you ever have fun?”

She chuckled. “Yes. My mother saw to that. It was because of my father, though, that I joined the Bureau.”

“That’s not fun.” Riley’s eyes began to change color, implying he had sex on the brain.

She leaned closer to both men. “If you must know, I found pleasure in sex. It was my way of coping with the rigid structure in my life and was my form of fun.”

“While I agree sex can be fun,” Jay said, “there is a difference between them.”

“Do tell.” She was interested in his interpretation.

“To me,
fun
is going out with a bunch of my friends, watching a fantastic football game, or fixing up my car and then racing it.”

She laughed. “You are such a guy.”

He grinned. “I try. Sex, on the other hand, touches a different part of my mind—and no, I’m not talking about the one between my legs. Making love with the right woman—you—excites and stimulates me to want to fight another day.”

“That’s incredibly sweet and highly romantic. Thank you.” She faced Riley. “How about you? What do you do for fun?”

“Same as you. I’d rather spend my time fighting for justice than sitting around shooting the breeze with a bunch of airheads.” He glanced at Jay, whose brows immediately furrowed.

“My friends are not airheads. They’re jocks.”

“If you say so.”

From the sparkle in both of their eyes, they were enjoying the banter. Fortunately, their food arrived and they all dug in. Her steak was divine and the men claimed their meal was one of the best they’d had in a long time.

In between bites, they talked about the books they’d read, the sports they’d played in school, their heroes growing up, and what their dream jobs might be. Not surprising, they all said they liked what they were doing, though Riley reiterated that he wanted to leave the Bureau and join the Pack.

By the time they finished eating and polished off the bottle of wine, it was time to head home. If she had any say in the direction of the evening, they’d be enjoying a little
fun
time soon.

“A
re you tired?” Jay asked as he tossed the keys on the table in their motel room.

Sarah had yawned several times during their drive home, but she wasn’t going to let a little sleep deprivation stop her from making love with them. Now that the men had finished with their brainstorming for the night, she wanted to divert their attention to something more pleasant. “I could be persuaded to have a little fun.”

Jay grinned. “Since you’ve had a long day, how about we help you undress?”

That would cut short their foreplay since they’d take her right away. “How about I start with undressing you both? That will let me explore your bodies and maybe find a few secret spots that really turn you on.”

Jay slipped her purse off her shoulder and set it on the table. “I’m game. While we made a lot of progress at dinner toward learning about each other personally, it’s always a good thing to find out more on the physical front.” He looked over at Riley grinning widely. “You good with Sarah exploring us for a bit?”

Riley’s eyes turned golden and the hair on his face darkened. “Watching her for the last few hours and being so close has made me edgy—very edgy.” He neared. “Sarah, do you think you can help me relax?”

She chuckled. “I doubt what I have planned will help calm you.”

He dragged his palms down her shoulders. “I’m willing to give your method a go.”

“Willing is good, very good,” she said as she licked her lips while staring into Riley’s eyes. “How about you sit on the bed while I help Jay out of his clothes?” She didn’t need Riley shifting on her or trying to take off her clothes.

“Don’t think so.” Riley growled, grabbed her close, and kissed her. The passion with which he devoured her lips nearly made her crumble. Whatever made her think she’d be able to keep from climaxing if she took off their clothes and touched them all over anyway?

Jay cleared his throat. “Excuse me, but I thought Sarah was going to rip off my clothes and suck on my dick.”

She laughed which broke the kiss. “Did I promise that?” Okay, she had said she’d start with Jay.

Before she could stop Riley, he lifted her shirt over her head. “How about I undress you while you strip him? I’ll be patient and agree to go last.”

“You’re quite the diplomat,” she said pleased with his concession. “I agree.”

Jay kicked off his shoes then stepped in front of her. “Don’t take too long.”

As much as she wanted to move into the hot and heavy stage of their lovemaking, she adored the slow seduction, too. He’d worn a nice button down blue chambray shirt and low-slung jeans. She tugged the material from his pants and then began unbuttoning his shirt from the bottom up in order to delay the grand reveal.

Riley’s hands slid up her belly and cupped her breasts over her bra. “Love your big tits.”

What she loved more was how his fingers could set her body on fire. When he leaned over and kissed her neck, her fingers stopped working, and a groan escaped.

“You’re distracting her,” Jay said. His voice, while laced with humor, was tinged with a bit of impatience.

“That’s my goal,” Riley shot back.

He was such a bad boy. Determined to excite Jay, she undid the next three buttons as slowly as she dared then slid her hands under his shirt. His rippled abs were now covered in soft fur, thrilling her to no end. She clawed her way upward, and as soon as she palmed his large pecs, she lightly rubbed his nipples. Jay’s incisors extended—but only for a second.

He cupped her face then nibbled on her lips. “You taste so good.”

“You can’t taste a lip.”

“I can. I’m a wolf.”

Probably because he didn’t want to be challenged further, he kissed her. Tongues tangling and lips fervently plastered against each other, she moved her hands from his glorious chest up to his bristled face. He lowered his hands, and then unzipped her jeans. She broke the kiss. “Not fair.”

Jay laughed. “I was hoping between the two of us you’d be too distracted to notice what I was doing.”

“Not a chance.” She finished unbuttoning his shirt and noticed more hair had sprouted. “You need to blank your mind against sex.” She dragged her fingers down his fur.

“Not possible.”

Riley slid her bra up and over her tits and when he twirled her nipples, spikes of pleasure rushed through her. She wasn’t sure she’d be able to do justice to Jay’s cock if Riley didn’t stop turning her on. That was the hazard of loving two men at once.

When he continued to twist her nipples, she finally spun around. “Riley, how about if you finish taking off my clothes and then sit and watch until it’s your turn.”

He cocked a brow. “And not touch you?”

“That’s the plan. Otherwise, I won’t be able to concentrate on Jay.”

“I’ll try.”

He unhooked her bra and tossed it onto the bed. Of course, he wasn’t content to move on to her jeans right away. Heavens, no. He had to pinch her nipples some more and drag his sharp teeth along her collarbone.

“Love your smell,” he huffed.

Some of the lake water had sprayed up on her when a gust of wind swept by. “It’s called Eau de Lake.”

Jay laughed. “Enough stalling. I’m helping.”

This time she didn’t stop them. Between the two of them, she was naked in less than thirty seconds. “It’s my turn to take care of you two,” she said. “First Jay then you, Mr.-I-can’t-sit-by-and-watch.”

Riley held up his hands and dropped down on the bed. “Go for it.”

All she needed to do was take off Jay’s jeans and then she’d perform her magic. Keeping her back to Riley, she stepped closer to Jay. When she went to undo the button on his jeans the back of her hands bumped into his cock, which was peeking out. “Did you go commando?”

“Thought it would save you some time.”

Her men were full of surprises. She shook her head, undid the button, and then lowered the zipper. In one slow tug, she slid his jeans to his hips, enough to give her full access to his glorious cock. “I like it.”

Jay grabbed his hard shaft and waved it. “I’m glad.” He then stepped back and discarded his jeans. “Much better.”

She’d purposefully not taken them off to prevent him from moving about, but seeing him in all his magnificence made her happy he’d taken charge and stripped.

Without waiting any longer, she bent over, grabbed his huge shaft, and dragged her mouth down his length. God he was huge. He hissed then clutched a handful of hair and tugged, igniting her from head to toe. From behind, Riley rubbed her ass and moaned. If she didn’t have a mouthful of cock, she would have told him to behave.

From the way Riley was squeezing her ass cheeks and slipping a hand between her legs, he was on the verge of impaling her. Needing to push Jay a little harder before enjoying what Riley had to offer, she pumped her hand up and down and swirled her tongue as she drew him deeper into her mouth.

All of a sudden, he stepped out of her grasp and bones cracked, fur spun, and arms and legs turned into a furry wolf. “Holy shit.”
