Losing Control by Crissy Smith

older members of her family had welcomed both he and Kyle, which gave him hope for Bree’s other family members.
    His and Kyle’s family were also attending the impromptu barbeque at his weekend house before the full moon run later that night.
    When his brother’s female mate, Annabelle, heard that he and Kyle would be mating with Bree , she had set to work to throwing them a party.
    “So what do you think, brother?” Trevor asked, throwing an arm around his neck.
    Shawn glanced over to where Kyle and Bree were dancing in the grass. “I’m a very lucky man,” he told his brother.
    Trevor tightened his arm in a hug. “I’d say we both are extremely lucky,” Trevor agreed.
    Shawn followed the other man’s gaze to his own mates. Annabelle sat on Mac’s lap while she laughed with Mac’s sister, who held her brand new baby in her arms.
    “I’m thankful, that’s for sure. I can’t wait until tonight, though,” Shawn told his brother, dropping his voice a little.
    “What’s going on?” Trevor asked as he dropped his arm and moved to stand in front of Shawn. Shawn couldn’t meet Trevor’s eyes straight on. But he needed to talk to someone. Someone who wasn’t one of his mates. “I’m struggling a little with my control,” Shawn admitted. “It’s not a big deal with Kyle, but I’m so afraid of hurting Bree …”
    It still tore at his heart every time he backed away from Bree and her eyes would flash with hurt. He’d only been able to make love to her a few times over the past week, still scared of causing her pain.
    “ Ahh , I see,” Trevor nodded several times.
    The certainty in his brother’s voice drew his eyes up. “You do?”
    Trevor laughed. “Yeah man, I’ve been there.”
    Shawn felt his breath rush out in relief.
    “We waited a year to claim Annabelle. I remember one time when I found out she went out for drinks with a guy from the office.” Trevor shook his head. “I almost lost it.”
    “What happened?” Shawn asked, intrigued.
    “Mac,” Trevor said simply. “I have to hand it to my man. He’s always thinking ahead. He warned the other man that Annabelle was our mate. Let’s just say Annabelle was with a complete gentleman that night.”
    “There is no way I could have waited a year,” Shawn told his brother. “Every time a male looks at her, I have this unbelievable urge to tear out his throat.”
    “It’ll get better,” Trevor told him.
    Shawn just blinked at him, Not at all sure.
    His brother grinned. “Right now, although you’ve claimed her, she is still unmated. Your wolf knows that. After tonight he will calm down.”
    Shawn nodded. God, he hoped so.

    Bree waited where Shawn and Kyle had left her. Annabelle had told her exactly what to expect and how much she would enjoy the mating.
    She had taken Annabelle’s suggestion of being naked when her two mates showed. While the cool night air caused goosebumps over her body, she wasn’t really cold. More nervous than anything.
    Both men would have to take her at once. Then she would receive the mating bite that would bind them together forever.
    A rustle from the bushes to her north had her narrowing her eyes and staring into the darkness. Two wolves stepped out and Bree’s breath caught in her throat.
    She had never seen Shawn and Kyle in their wolf forms and they were gorgeous.
    The larger white and gold wolf lifted his head and howled. The sound went through her body, causing her to shiver in delight. It had a magical ring to it. The smaller grey and white wolf joined in and Bree wrapped her arms around her middle to keep herself from running to them.
    She wanted to be with them.
    The wolves stopped and slowly made their way to her. Bree dropped to her knees as they got within arm’s reach. Both wolves pressed against her.
    Their fur was soft and brushed against her naked skin. She grabbed the neck of the gold wolf and buried her face in his fur.
    A sound much like a moan came from the wolf.
