These are not the males I want.
“We can make you feel so good. We know how much you want it. We can smell the sweet nectar that seeps from your cunt, can scent your discomfort.”
My cheeks heated further at their brash language. They may have just been fucking the female, but it didn’t matter, not if they weren’t mated. The pheromones exuded by one of my kind during the heat were such a high and potent aphrodisiac it made even the sanest shifters, insane.
I opened my mouth and immediately snapped it shut, not sure what to say. Instead I hauled ass out of there, stumbling over my own feet in the process. I was nearing the community when I tripped, landing on my hands and knees, the pain momentarily taking over. I didn’t move, didn’t even breathe as I closed my eyes and hung my head. I was losing it, absolutely going crazy, and all because I wanted two males that had shown no interest in me … ever.
And then I scented him, a spicy, all-male aroma that had my insides clenching with need. Still on my hands and knees, I lifted my head and glanced at the male who stood right in front of me.
Chase, in his entire six-foot-six inch, two hundred and fifty pound frame, loomed over me, making me feel every bit as feminine as he was male.
His jaw was clenched tightly, his eyebrows brought down low as if he were thinking hard.
“Are you okay?” he asked in that deep, slightly scratchy voice of his.
And before I could say anything in response I saw Xavier move up to stand beside him.
Xavier, all six foot five inches of raw power, was a little bigger in the muscle department than Chase, but both males were packed like tanks. It was no surprise they were the head of the shifter community security.
I slowly stood and shook my head, but didn’t know what I was saying no to.
Please don’t let a wave of heat claim me right now.
“No. I’m okay, thank you.” I took a step back, clenching my hands as their purely male scent washed through me, making that damn heat start to rise up in me.
The three of us looked at each other, the silence seeming to stretch out. And then there was this long, very female cry, and I knew the female with the two males had just come. I felt my face heat, knew this was not good, not when I wanted these two males as much as I did, and not wanting our coupling to be because of the undeniable pull from the heat.
“I should go,” I whispered, feeling that wave of pleasure and discomfort coming up faster and faster. I clenched my thighs together, trying to stem off the wetness. But my jeans were becoming soaked, and I needed to get home.
The mating heat made me feel strange and awkward, as if I couldn’t be myself with two males I had known for so long. I watched them inhale, their massive chests rising and falling. Neither of them spoke as I made my way past them, keeping my head down to try and lessen the dose of their aroma I couldn’t help but inhale.
But then at the first touch of one of them grabbing my forearm, halting me, I closed my eyes and moaned out.
He’d branded my flesh.
“You’re not well, Ophelia.” Xavier’s words were spoken softly, and so close, as if he were right by my ear. I was in this sexual haze, this insatiable appetite that wouldn’t let me go. I knew if I stayed here much longer I wouldn’t be able to stop this.
Then don’t stop it. Ask them to be with you, to ease your suffering.
I made my way towards my cabin, not wanting to humiliate myself by begging for their dicks … yeah, I would have gone there. But the words they spoke next stopped me.
“We want you, Ophelia,” Chase growled out.
“We can ease you, make you feel good,” Xavier said next, his voice just as deep.
I let their words sink in. It was exactly what I’d wanted to hear for the longest time.
But it’s the heat. It’s only because of the heat.
I turned and faced them, and was shocked to see they were partially shifted. Their bodies were bigger as their animals pushed at the surface, their eyes had gone onyx, their nails now claws. It was hot, arousing, and I wanted them to mount me like the animals we were.
They were offering themselves to me because at the moment, I was irresistible. Now, if they had offered this before my heat, I would have felt something different from heartbroken disappointment. My mind felt sorrow, but my body still jumped in excitement at the thought of having my heat eased finally.
I was desperate enough to take them up on their offer.
Another wave slammed into me, and I doubled over, covering my belly with my hands. I was covered in sweat, my heart thundering, and my muscles tight.
“Let us make you feel good, baby,” Xavier growled out and stepped closer.
I could feel his body heat seep into mine, knew that compared to him I was small, petite. Chase stepped forward as well, this deep sound leaving his chest. I forced myself to rise, to be strong. I watched as they stared at my body, starting with my face, dipping lower to my chest, and stopping at the junction between my thighs that was covered by denim.
