appealing flush rising on her features.
Said like that, I realized I was maybe being too protective and jealous. If that was all it was, then so be it.
I’d allow her a threesome. Or maybe it was the other way around. Cuz I was beginning to realize that this was one rodeo I wasn’t in charge of. And interestingly, I kinda dug it. Might be nice to be with a strong woman who enjoyed calling the shots. She was so naturally strong, herself and in command. It wasn’t in a bitchy way, either. Just calm and collected. At ease and natural. In a sweet, kind, loving and gentle way where she almost didn’t even realize she was doing it.
And that was when it hit me.
Cass was an Alpha.
An Alpha female.
Which were rare. Very rare. So rare that the Bear clan had a very strict policy about what a male shifter need do if he found one. It didn’t matter if they were shifter or human. Just that they were, in fact, an Alpha.
Grasping that this was why I was so compelled to come to the East Coast and Boston to find my mate, it now made sense why I’d been haunted my entire life by her presence. Time had been doing its dance, waiting. Allowing for us to be at an age range where we could be compatible. To be with one another.
Because the truth of it was this.
An Alpha female belongs to no one, and I mean no one, but herself. She’s as true to a living Earth goddess type as there ever was and ever will be. She chooses her consorts, her mates, her pack. Just like a queen bee.
Cass wasn’t just my mate. She was my Alpha. I was Beta to her Alpha, as a first mate. As a primary mate.
Which meant only one thing… There would be other mates.
Oh the irony.

CASSIDY
The look on Abe’s face said it all. I was worried I’d taken it too far. Sharing with him that I had a fantasy of being part of a threesome. Which was hilarious in retrospect as we’d yet to seal the deal between the two of us, so to speak. I was enjoying the sweet pace we’d created and wasn’t so sure how much longer I could hold out, myself.
Why was I bringing this up already? That’s right… I’m a torrid flirt and Jason keeps pinging me with texts…
He seemed dumbfounded and had gone quiet. Which worried me. Had I taken it too far too soon? Maybe sharing my interest in Jason had been really stupid? I was just flirting…
Or was I?
Shit!
Either way, I needed to salvage things between us before things got out of hand.
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have brought it up…” I murmured sheepishly, sucking in a deep breath. “Forgive me for even bringing it up.”
Wherever Abe had momentarily disappeared into his mind, he quickly returned, appearing both intrigued and amazed.
“Cass, answer me truthfully, have you always been predisposed to being attracted to more than one man at a time?”
I almost swallowed my tongue. Just about every sane woman on the planet was screaming in my head, do not answer that question!
But I wasn’t like most women on the planet and that was something I’d long ago figured out. Besides, Abe had given me no reason to doubt that he wouldn’t take me and all my craziness in stride.
I nodded gently, “Yes, actually… Does that bother you?”
He studied my face and a very incongruous grin spread across his face. He shook his head back and forth as if he were in amazement.
“Cassidy, you’re a remarkable woman and you don’t even know the main reason why yet. This is absolutely mind-boggling…”
Now it was my turn to be confused. What in the world was he talking about? What did he mean?
“What?” I said, my turn to be dumbfounded.
He leaned across the table and reached for my hand. His eyes held me in a powerful gaze. “Cassidy, I have something very important to share with you, but I need to sorta feel you out, so to speak. See if you’re ready for it.”
I blushed and grinned, “Good grief Abe. We’ve done a lot of that! I think you already have?!” I said, perhaps a bit
