The Lion Kings (novel): a BBW Werelion Menage Romance by Renee George Page A

“But we didn’t need her, Madeline.” He paused for a moment, then said, “We need you.”
    It was a statement, but also a plea.
    “Do you mean it?” Maddie asked, but what she really wanted to know is if both Adam and Cage felt this way, or if Adam was forcing her onto Cage.
    Her fear eased when the bearded Goliath in her arms said, “Yes,” in a soft breath that whispered across her forehead.
    “All right,” she said.
    “I have to warn you,” Adam said. “A true mating will require us to shift some.”
    She stared at him, her mouth agape, unable to fathom the possibility. “Into a lion?”
    “No,” Adam said. “Just a small shift, not a complete one.”
    “And will it change me?” Would she become a lion ?
    “Yes,” Adam answered. “But not in the way you think,” he added as if reading her mind. “If our mating is true, you will become stronger, more than any normal human. You will also live a very long time, as long as we do.”
    “How long is that?”
    “About two-hundred years.”
    “Wow.” She narrowed her gaze. “But I won’t turn into a lion?”
    “You sound disappointed.” Cage laughed.
    “A little,” she said. “Okay, so is that all?”
    “You will probably get pregnant.”
    “What?” She couldn’t keep the alarm out of her voice.
    “When you are with child, it will seal you to us. The infant’s blood mingling with your own is what will bring on the change in you.”
    Her reluctance wasn’t in the idea of changing into something more than human. The problem lie in the fact that she didn’t know how she felt about having children in general. She’d spent her whole life wanting to be something more than a wife, more than a mother...
    But as she looked at Adam and Cage, she realized having their child, being their mate was something more .
    “Ask me again,” she said, now certain of her answer.
    Cage tilted her chin, his fingers large and warm. He stared down into her eyes—his black pupils widening until only slight burnt-orange bands rimmed his irises. “Maddie Granger, will you accept us, Adam and I, as your mates? Will you be our queen?”
    She was suddenly conscious of her naked breasts pressed against Cage’s chest, of Adam’s hand touching her back, and of her every hastening desire for these men that went beyond anything she’d ever experienced.
    “Yes,” she told them. “I will.”
    A surprising sound of relief escaped from Adam, as if he’d been holding his breath, expecting the worst. “Thank you,” he said quietly.
    It was a strange response. “You’re welcome.” She made it sound like a question.
    Adam chuckled then leaned to her ear. “Let the mating begin,” he teased.
    Cage growled his agreement while pressing her lips with a surprisingly delicate kiss. His mustache tickled her nose. Maddie swooned as they both touched her, but even so, it didn’t stop the dithering anxiety from building.
    “What’s wrong?” Adam asked, sensing her nervousness.
    “I’m... I’ve never...”
    “You’re a virgin,” Cage said bluntly.
    Heat rose in Maddie’s cheeks. “Yes.”
    “We know,” he said.
    Her eyes widened with embarrassment. She suddenly felt raw and exposed, like Hester Prynne in The Scarlet Letter . “Am I walking around with a big V on my chest?”
    “No,” Adam said gently. “You came to us the other night in your... trance.”
    “Oh, yes.” She blushed again. “I forgot. But how did you--” A sharp memory of Adam’s finger testing her depths made her body hum. “Never mind.”
    Cage chuckled. “You tasted so sweet. I can’t wait to put my mouth on you and taste you again.”
    Maddie involuntarily moaned as her pussy pulsed between her thighs with eager anticipation.
    “I can smell the rise of your desire,” Adam said, his dark-blue eyes shining like mirrors when he shifted his head sideways and caught the light from the lamp. He kissed her neck, his hand traveling between her thighs until his fingers brushed her wet,
