Taken (M/F/M red-hot menage shifter romance) Standalone (Shadow Creek Shifters Book 2) (7 page)

While Brendan wasn’t able to penetrate her nearly as deeply as Chase had, he certainly worked a nice orgasm out of her, one that had her squirming madly. She didn’t like that she couldn’t move and had no control over what he was doing, but she exploded in pleasure, even if it took longer since he moved inside her much more slowly than she wanted.

After Brendan came, she was turned sideways, with her head on Brendan’s shoulder, Chase’s hard body lying against her backside. She felt completely loved—and completely and positively satisfied her, It had been months since either of them had been inside of her, and oh how she missed it. She didn’t want to think what it would be like when she was huge as a beached whale.

“What are you thinking about?” Brendan asked, his hand rubbing her arm.

“Just that neither of you will want me when I’m fat.”

Gasps came from the lips of Brendan and Chase and that should have told her what she wanted to hear, but it didn’t. She needed the words. She needed to hear that they loved her, no matter what.

“You mean heavy with our child?” Brendan asked, shocked. “As long as you’re able and desire to allow us to love you this way, we will—or at least I will.”

Chase turned her head to gaze at him. “He’s right. We’re not going anywhere, and I don’t think you being pregnant has hurt anything. Your breasts certainly are bigger,” Chase said with a wink.

“I know, but I always took you for an ass man.”

“True, you got me there, but we might have to cool it on the ass play until you’re no longer pregnant. I don’t want to do anything that would hurt you.”

Katlyn frowned. “If it hurts too bad, I’d tell you to stop, but I’d sorta love you up my ass sometimes, even if Brendan isn’t fucking me from the front at the time.”

Her chest thumped hard as Chase smiled. She felt herself grow wet now as she felt Chase’s hardness pressed against her backside. He left the bed momentarily and returned with the tube of lube that Katlyn only knew by the sharp noise it made when the cap was opened. She sighed when Chase worked a finger with the cool lube up her ass and Brendan left the bed. “Have fun,” he said as he got up, heading toward the bathroom.

Katlyn wanted to call after Brendan to come back, but actually she rather enjoyed having some time alone with Chase for a change. She moaned as Chase’s finger worked magic on her body. It was such a unique experience. Her eyes widened as Chase’s cock entered her tight ass next, and she pushed back against him so that he could go in slightly deeper.

“Relax, dear. It doesn’t have to go in deep to feel good.”

He was exactly right as Katlyn felt something build inside of her, something big, and she wasn’t just talking about Chase’s cock! Chase’s hand found her breast and he squeezed it as he fucked her. Katlyn gripped the sheets to hold herself steady as Chase began to move into her harder until she cried out.

He slowed his pace and laughed. “I’m so glad you like to do this, because I really love the feeling of being inside your tight ass.” He moved her onto her stomach and positioned himself between her thighs with Katlyn’s legs spread widely, filling her more deeply as an ache began to build as he pumped harder and harder, his strokes still slow and deliberate, and she enjoyed every inch of him, working toward her release that had her near tears as her entire body quivered. When her orgasm hit, every part of her body squeezed and released, even her pussy, and it wasn’t even being fucked. Katlyn felt Chase tensing now, his juices filling her with a few deep thrusts, his hot come made her feel so warm and satisfied at the same time. Wow, she’d certainly not get tired of her mates who both satisfied her to the brink of an out of body experience. She did miss Brendan in bed now, though.

Afterward, they headed back to the shower where Brendan was, but instead of him in the shower jerking himself off like Katlyn thought, he stood under the shower head with his eyes closed. There was something about how he stood there with the water trickling over his muscled body that turned Katlyn on all over again, but since he seemed to be ignoring her and Chase, they each busied themselves with cleaning up after their sex play.

Katlyn stayed in the shower after Chase left it and she asked Brendan, “Why did you do that? Leave us like that?”

Brendan opened one eye. “I thought you wanted some private time with Chase. He sure seemed to work you up more than me.”

“That’s not true. I enjoyed you, too.”

“Hmmm,” was all he said.

What was wrong with him? “Don’t be like that. I enjoy both of you, being with you at the same time.”

“Have you thought about the baby? What if it’s Chase’s and not mine?”

“I didn’t think you cared whose baby it was. I had hoped that both of you would act as his or her father.”

“I will. I just wondered if you’d care more or less about the baby if it belonged to one of us and not the other.”

“Are you trying to insinuate that I love Chase more than you or you more than him? Because I don’t. I love you both equally. I mean, not exactly equally.” Katlyn bit down on her lip. “I love each of you differently is all I meant, and I’m committed to both of you.”

Brendan smiled sadly. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to act this way. Just after the way Chase got you off, I guess I was a little jealous.”

“There’s no reason to be when you both turn me on, and sometimes I just have a better orgasm is all.”

Brendan stepped forward and kissed Katlyn softly. This hunk of man that seemed so strong most times had shown her just how sensitive he could be. She had to tell them tonight that she carried twins, not just one baby. She didn’t want either of them to feel slighted if the baby wasn’t theirs when it was all of theirs.

Katlyn hugged Brendan tight after the kiss broke and, after a few minutes, they both made their way out of the shower and dressed for dinner since they’d be taking it at the main house with Paige.

Chapter Seven

Katlyn wore a little black dress for dinner since she wouldn’t be able to wear it for much longer. It accentuated her frame, including her growing belly that was just starting to show slightly. She pressed a hand against her belly and hoped that Chase and Brendan wouldn’t totally freak out when they learned that she carried twins.

“Are you ready?” Brendan asked, buttoning up his white shirt. Instead of wearing jeans and a western shirt like he usually wore, he dressed up for dinner on most occasions if they had dinner with Paige.

Chase joined them, his gray pants hugging his lean hips. He also wore a white shirt, but had it opened nearly to the waist. Katlyn had learned that he only preferred to do that because he hated wearing dress shirts period, but Brendan was a stickler about wearing proper clothing to dinner. Katlyn found this to be odd since they owned a ranch and worked like ranch hands most days, but she kept her thoughts to herself.

She glanced down and bit off one of her nails that was longer than the others. She was a habitual nail biter, and even though Brendan raised a brow, he never said anything even though Katlyn knew it might have bugged him. That was the thing about her mates—neither of them nitpicked her about anything, not even her reluctance to speak about her past. How could she begin to explain about her parents from Ohio that just wouldn’t understand her current lifestyle choices, like having not one, but two mountain lion shifters as mates? She’d be taken to task by her parents, one of the reasons she’d hadn’t told them too much about her life in Wyoming.

Chase continued to scratch as the starch from the shirt made him itch. “I swear, if Paige says something about my shirt, I’m just taking the dang thing off completely.”

Katlyn smiled. “I’d love to see the look on Paige’s face when you do that.” Paige might be a vampire, but she had an air of sophistication about her, like she had come from somewhere quite fancy at one time. Besides biting Tessa that one night, she had behaved herself like every inch the lady.

“What about Tessa?” Katlyn asked. “Will she be at dinner, too?”

“No, it’s not quite dark yet. I’ll have Angus fetch her after dinner,” Brendan said.

Katlyn nodded as they left for the big house in the truck, although it wasn’t all that far. They walked to the door and Paige opened it, greeting them. “It’s about time. Dinner just came out of the oven.” Paige didn’t like to be kept waiting and admired anyone who was prompt. In many ways, she made Katlyn feel like she was a lowly servant whereas Paige was the lady of the house. She’d love to ask Brendan one day if either of them had been with Paige, or why it was, exactly, that she came to be running the ranch.

Brendan took Paige’s arm and escorted her into the dining room while Chase took Katlyn’s arm. There was something just too prim and proper about the main house, and yet this was also the very place that Paige had bitten and turned Tessa into a vampire.

Katlyn sat when Chase held out a chair for her, and they were soon served roast beef with baby carrots and mashed potatoes with at thick gravy that smelled so beefy that Katlyn’s mouth watered. Paige, Brendan, and Chase each had a wine glass filled with red wine, but Katlyn’s was filled with milk that she begrudgingly managed to choke down since she wasn’t the hugest milk fan. Sure, growing up she’d had milk at every meal, since that’s what her parents insisted on, but Katlyn barely drank it much since. She’d drink her milk, though, for the babies.

Paige smiled, her plate devoid of food. “So, Katlyn. Do tell me how your pregnancy is coming along.”

“Good, I suspect, since I’ve never been pregnant before.”

“Dr. Evans is a great doctor.”

“I’m not seeing Dr. Evans. My doctor is Dr. McKinney.”

Paige’s eyes widened. “Jenna McKinney? That won’t do. Brendan, talk to your mate. It’s unheard of a human doctoring a woman who carries a shifter child.”

Katlyn wasn’t surprised. “So, Dr. Evans is a shifter, too?” She knew it!

“Didn’t Brendan tell you?”

“No, he sure didn’t, but he did seem like I should be seeing Dr. Evans instead. The truth of the matter is that I prefer a woman doctor to a man.”

“Well, Jenna just won’t do. When she finds out that you’re pregnant by a shifter, her attitude will change. Don’t be surprised when she drops you as a patient. Her father, Ralph, was part of the Shifter Patrol before it was disbanded.”

“I know, she told me, but she knows all about who my mates are and what they are. I’m completely comfortable with her as a doctor, and I’m having two babies, not just one.”

Chase about dropped his wine glass. “Twins?”

A look of delight came across Brendan’s face. Katlyn couldn’t help but wonder if he might relax more about the coming baby’s now that he knew there would be two. Sure, he’d made it sound like he was more concerned about how she felt about who the baby’s father was, but why would she care whose baby it was since it would be all hers anyway? Now that they both knew there would be two babies, it would be overwhelming for all of them. Lucky for her, she had two mates instead of just one. The more hands on deck, the better.

Katlyn smiled at Chase, and said, “Are you going to be okay?”

He swallowed hard, Paige looking on in amusement. “Y-Yes, but I was just getting used to the fact that I’m going to be the father of one baby, and now there will be two? That sounds like plenty of work.”

“Yes, for Katlyn,” Paige said with a knowing smile. “She’s the one carrying the twins, not you. All men have to do is pace while she struggles to deliver them when the time comes.”

“No, I’ll be right there helping out at the birth,” Chase said.

“As I will, too,” Brendan said.

“That’s one of the reasons that Dr. Evans might be the best doctor for you. Dr. McKinney might not understand about you having two mates,” Paige said. “What have you told your doctor, exactly?”

“She knows, and believe me, she hasn’t judged me. She’s a professional.”

“I hope for all of our sakes that’s the case.”

“And getting back to Dr. Evans ... what kind of shifter is he, exactly?”

“He’s a werewolf, not like the ones at Silver Creek. He’s one of the only ones I know of in Wyoming that only shifts on the full moon. Very unpredictable, really, but the good doctor has never done anything untoward to anyone that I known of. I’m not sure how he’s able to control his beast since most werewolves like him have been know to attack just about anyone, even someone they know. It’s much different than what happens when, let’s say, what happens when Brendan and Chase shift, or even Angus.”

“My student, Maxwell, mentioned something about them being full bloods where the werewolves at Silver Creek are half human.”

“Very true. How is Maxwell doing at school?”

“Angry at humans, I’m afraid. I just don’t know how to reach the boy. I had hoped that his mother was at least still alive, but he told me she left when he was only a baby.” Katlyn took a sip of her milk, trying hard to not make a face. “I can’t imagine any mother who would leave their child behind like that.”

Katlyn stared from Paige to Brendan and then directly at Chase. None of them said anything now and it made Katlyn all the more curious. She finally asked, “Do you—”

“Eat before your food gets cold, Katlyn. I’m sure your babies are quite hungry,” Paige said.

Even though Paige said it nicely enough, Katlyn felt they were trying to change the subject. What did they all know that she didn’t? Katlyn lifted her fork and began eating, sighing as the meat was so tender that it practically melted in her mouth. By the time she had finished, she had cleared her plate and looked up, asking, “What’s for dessert?”

Paige motioned the maid forward, who cleared their plates and came back with crème brulee in quite small dishes. “Is this it?” Katlyn grumbled as she lifted her spoon, digging in.

“Well, I can see what else we have in the kitchen,” Paige said. “I’ll make sure next time that there’s enough to satisfy you.”

Katlyn took a spoonful and allowed the dessert to melt on her tongue before she answered. “I didn’t mean to sound like I was complaining. This eating for three is getting the best of me. One minute, I wasn’t even hungry and the next, I couldn’t get enough.”
