just stood talking. Unable to fight his instincts anymore, Brigden opened his mouth wide, his sharp incisors growing from his gums just as he made contact with Suzanne’s soft skin. He held her close as he bit her, keeping her still as he punctured the skin. Heightened arousal flowed through all three of them, Brigden’s urge to bury his cock inside her almost too overwhelming to ignore. He could sense the same need from both his mates. He wasn’t certain how he was interpreting and separating their emotions from his own, but it seemed to be a natural evolution of their true-mates link.
“That is so beautiful,” Gideon said as Brigden finally eased his teeth out of her flesh. He licked at the small drops of blood, his wolf side howling in his mind as he tasted his mate’s essence. “You two lay down for a while, and I’ll grab some essentials for Suzanne to take back to Dry Creek.”
“Uh-uh. No way,” Suzanne said with a laugh. “Werewolf society might be different from what I’m used to, but I’m guessing males in your culture don’t have a clue what a woman considers essential either. The last thing I need is you packing the wrong underwear.”
“Underwear?” Gideon asked with a laugh. “Why would I pack that? Brigden and I both prefer our mate naked anyway.”
“Nice try,” she said as she pressed a quick kiss to Brigden’s lips and stepped away. “How about I pack and you two get some rest?”
Brigden’s heart sped up at the idea of spending some intimate time with Gideon far from the prying eyes of other wolf-shifters.
“Well I guess we know who’s going to wear the under pants in this relationship,” Gideon teased as he grabbed Brigden and rolled onto the bed. “But just this once, we’ll let our bossy mate pack while we stay out of the way.”
Suzanne gave them both a loving smile and then turned to her closet to begin the task of choosing what to take to her new home.

“Make love to him, please.”
Gideon was surprised by the soft plea that reached his mind.
“We don’t really have time,” he answered as he held their lover close. As much as he wanted to be intimate with the man he loved, he also didn’t want to draw attention to them by not following the alpha’s orders in a timely manner.
Of course, he’d let the alpha believe that Suzanne lived in town, even though he’d known from her driver’s license that she lived far closer. He’d had some vague idea of perhaps keeping the cabin available for some sort of honeymoon destination until Suzanne’s lease ran out. The fact that she owned it actually complicated things just a little, but as long as they could cover the property taxes each year, they might even be able to hold on to it indefinitely. The idea of having a place where the three of them could relax and be themselves appealed greatly.
“Please, Gideon. Please make time.”
“Suzanne? Why is it so important right now?”
He could sense her despair and for a moment worried that she regretted letting Brigden claim her. But their connection was strong enough for him to realize the problem was more complicated than that.
“I don’t think it worked. I can’t hear him. I can sense his emotions, but it’s not much stronger than it was before. Very little has changed.”
“Relax, Suzanne. It probably just takes time. Our connection grew slowly.”
“The claiming bite usually forces the mate to orgasm. I know that from your memories. And you know that I didn’t climax. Please, Gideon. Please make love to him, just in case I’m right.”
She sounded so worried that he couldn’t deny her. Of course, just the thought of making love to Brigden again was enough to have his cock standing up and taking notice.
“Okay, baby girl.” And then because he wanted to lighten the mood that she was feeling added, “It’s a tough job, but somebody’s got to do it.”
Suzanne laughed softly in his mind, her relief flowing through their
