STORY EXCERPT

“You aren’t serious? You’re sending me away for months with Zed and Steve? Just the three of us? Zed’ll kill Steve long before the airplane even lands in Vienna.”

“Your job will be to prevent that from happening. And if it does, remind Zed I won’t be posting bail for him. He’ll have to serve out his time in whatever jail he lands up in.”

“Sir, you don’t really mean it. There must be other people. At least three or four others on the team.” Josie stared at the Alpha. She’d worked with him for long enough to be able to read him even when other people would have said his face was blank. Right now his eyes were filled with light. He was serious, it was going to be just the three of them and he expected her to sort out any relationship problems. Well fucking hell!

“Josie, all three of you together will be an unbeatable team. Between you three, you have all the skills you need to find the missing wolf pack and convince them to unite with the association. They must have a very capable leader to have survived for so long alone. We can use their skills. Besides, they need to know what’s happening in the real world, not the world as they’re undoubtedly filtering it through their fears and biases. They need to know they aren’t alone.”

“I doubt I’ll have a spare moment to solve the problem. I’ll be fully occupied keeping Zed from murdering Steve.”

“Perhaps at the start, but my son is not stupid. He will come to realize that Steve is a man of many skills and talents, capable and useful in his own right. Apart from that, I have great faith in your ability to bring them to the knowledge that just as they can work together on a project, they can learn to share you.”

Josie blushed. Her boss had never so much as hinted at her sex life—or lack of a sex life—before.

“This project is the perfect means for you to move on. You alone can control my son. The three of you together can find the missing wolf pack and forge a new identity for yourselves. I expect you to report to me every twenty-four hours even if there is nothing new to tell me.”

“Yes, sir.” Josie nodded and left his office. Only once she’d closed his door did it occur to her that might have been the last time she’d ever speak to him face-to-face. She would no longer be the administrator of the pack. Whatever happened on this adventure, the people she’d trained would be doing her job from now on. She squared her shoulders. It was time for her to reclaim her life. Her future was in her own hands. She’d have months in close contact with Zed and Steve and if they couldn’t come to an agreement between them during this time, it would never happen.

Slowly she walked to the elevator and swiped her card. Up in her room she stood still and looked around. This place had been hers for so long. Mostly she slept here and that was all. Her true life was at her desk on the third floor in the center of all the pack activity. Now she was cutting herself off from all that, moving out with the two men who meant the most to her in the world.

She pulled her suitcase out from under her bed. She’d only just unpacked it and finished doing laundry from the DADISP, and now she needed to pack it again. But she’d be packing very differently this time. Sturdy travel clothes, comfortable walking shoes, and maybe just one pretty outfit for if it was needed. Josie sank down on her bed and pulled out her cell phone, Googling the weather in Vienna. Ugh. And a warm coat as well.

Suddenly, she smiled. This was not how she’d planned her life. This was not what she expected at all in her wildest imaginings. But the Alpha was correct. If she couldn’t make the two men see reason and cooperate and build her life with them both, she didn’t deserve to be happy. She was just as smart as either of them. She’d damn well do it. She’d make them agree to share her, to both mate with her, and they’d find the missing wolf pack as well.

The tricky bit would be preventing Zed from killing anyone until he saw reason.

She opened her nightstand drawer thoughtfully, and dropped a pair of handcuffs into the waiting suitcase.

ADULT EXCERPT

Josie lay down as instructed and turned her head to the right. She wouldn’t be able to see what happened behind her, but her peripheral vision was very good indeed, after all she was a werewolf shape-shifter, so she hoped to get a bit of an idea how the men were dealing with their problem.

To her surprise, Steve lay on his back beside her and rested his right hand very gently on her shoulder. His left arm was extended backward, to give Zed reasonable use of his right hand. Josie felt Zed’s big hand softly stroked her ass, and then Steve turned her chin more directly to him and kissed her nose. Helpfully, she leaned toward Steve somewhat, and settled in to enjoy herself. Behind her, Zed was now kissing her ass cheeks and petting her spine, smoothing his palm over her skin. Steve started to kiss her jawline, and her chin, before finally touching her lips so delicately she almost wondered if she’d imagined his touch.

But no. Both of them became more purposeful quite quickly, and soon she was pushing back onto Zed’s fingers as he stroked all around her back door, gradually loosening and softening her tight ring of muscles, and sensitizing all the tissues on the inside. Steve had progressed to kissing her mouth and the breast he could reach. She noted he stayed away from her back, leaving that area for Zed, but she’d expected him to be the reasonable one. She knew he wouldn’t let Zed push him too far, but she also knew he was far more easygoing and less likely to take offence and react.

It was just as well one of them was even-tempered. She’d been ready to push Zed off the airplane without a parachute herself at one stage, and it was only the thought that she’d packed her handcuffs which prevented her from hitting him over the head with a blunt instrument in the hire car office.

Right now the two of them were doing an excellent job of building a sense of desperate need deep in her belly. Her honey was dripping steadily from her pussy, and she was driving herself back onto Zed’s demanding fingers. Steve lifted his face from her breast and kissed her deeply, sliding his tongue into her mouth, teasing her inner cheeks, before he let her catch his tongue and suck on it.

By the time they finally drew apart, her lungs were starved of oxygen and she was more than ready to move on to the next step. “I’m ready now,” she gasped.

She expected Steve to pull her over his body but instead Zed said, “Steve, if you stand with your back to the wall, and Josie puts her legs around your waist, we should easily be able to support her weight between us and we’ll have more arm movement available to us than if we were lying down.”

“I’m not that heavy,” she complained.

“Either of us could easily hold you if we had two arms, but we don’t, thanks to you handcuffing us together. I agree with your plan, Zed,” said Steve, wiggling down to the foot of the bed and climbing off with Zed.

She hadn’t planned on being fucked against a wall for her first time with these men, but if they got this right there’d be plenty of other times, so she joined them on the floor. Pointing to the wall to the bathroom she said, “This wall? So we don’t entertain the neighbors?”

Steve laughed but Zed just nodded. The two men bent together and pushed the bed farther away from that wall, then they shuffled around until Steve was backed against it. She noticed both men were wearing condoms and she was sorry she’d missed seeing them put them on. She’d love to know if they’d done it one-handed.

Josie pressed her breasts against Steve’s chest and kissed his lips again, then Zed boosted her up and Steve drove his cock deep into her cunt in one long stroke. Hell, yes, that felt good. She’d wanted him for so long, but she’d never understood how wonderful it would feel to have him so deep inside her, filling her, stretching her, completing her. She gave a little wiggle then hitched her legs around his waist and locked her ankles just above his ass. His shoulders rested against the wall, but her feet weren’t crushed into it. There was enough space for her to lean them there securely.

Steve’s right arm wrapped around her waist, and Zed parted her ass cheeks and pressed his cock at her entry. The condom felt slippery so she knew he must have lubed his cock after he put it on, but there was still a deep burn as he broached her sphincter ring and wiggled his way inside her. Finally her ass opened and he thrust deeper. The heat of him blasted through her, making her shiver with delight.

On the one hand she was stretched almost to the point of pain, but on the other she felt so aroused she didn’t care. By the time Zed was completely inside her, his balls hard against her ass, and his free hand gripping her hip, all she could think of was coming. There were a few minutes of the men shuffling and rearranging themselves. Steve took his arm from her waist and Zed glued his muscular chest to her spine. Their joined hands were on her thigh and felt quite strange with fingers pointing in directions she wasn’t expecting, but they seemed to have reached a working agreement with each other, so there was no way she was going to say anything. Besides, she couldn’t. She was far too aroused, far too close to coming.

“Fuck me now.”
