They were both standing in the doorway with their mouths gaping open, staring at Jayson as if he'd lost his mind.
"Kenzie, you need to back away from Jay, sweetie," Jenson said after he got himself together and slowly moved toward the bed.
Jordan dropped the bags he was holding onto the floor and cautiously walked toward the other side of the bed. "Kenzie, come over here, baby."
She stared at Jordan's proffered hand, but the big man wasn't even looking at her. He was watching Jayson with so much wariness, her heart flipped. "What's wrong?"
"Jayson," Jenson murmured.
Jayson's panther turned to gaze at his brother. When Jenson took another step toward him and he started to reach for Kenzie, it yowled a warning.
"There's no need to be scared," Kenzie said. "He isn't hurting me."
"But he could," Jordan said. "His animal got away from his control, baby. He's dangerous."
Kenzie huffed out a breath. "No, he's not. He'd never hurt me."
"It's not you we're worried about, honey," Jenson said.
Kenzie cupped Jay's panther's face between her hands and turned his gaze toward hers. "You wouldn't hurt your brothers would you, Jay?" She voiced the question more like a statement, but deep down she knew his lack of control had nothing to do with Jordan and Jenson. She wondered if she'd been calling out in her sleep as she relived her stepfather beating her. Had that been enough for the panther to slip the leash on his man?
Jay rumbled out another purr as his tongue swiped over the sensitive flesh on her inner wrist. It tickled and rasped at the same time. "Jay, change back," Kenzie commanded.
The purring stopped, and she released his face when she felt the muscles and bones in his face contorting. She inched back toward the head of the bed on her hands and knees as the lines of his body shimmered and the soft, black coat of fur began to recede. She held her breath as she watched what looked like a painful process with mesmerized awe, until she was staring at the top of Jay's head. He lifted his gaze up to hers and licked his lips.
Her body went haywire as she eyed his broad, muscular shoulders and strong back, down to his narrow waist and hips near his sexy, brawny ass. She sank back on her bent legs and stared at his amazingly sexy, defined body. His legs were so long they were hanging off the end of the bed, his feet nearly touching the large dresser along the wall. The muscles in his back and shoulders flexed and bunched as he placed his hands on the mattress and levered the upper half of his body up from the mattress. His pectorals and biceps bulged, and the air backed up in her lungs exploded from between her parted lips when he shoved up onto his knees.
There was no way she could miss his thick, hard cock protruding from his between his legs, nor the way her body reacted to his sexy nakedness. Her clit throbbed, and her pussy moistened. Her breasts swelled, and her nipples hardened. She wrapped her arms over her breasts trying to hide her body's response and nearly cried out when he arms brushed over her ultrasensitive nipples.
"Are you okay, honey?" Jay asked in a hoarse voice.
She licked her dry lips, opened her mouth, and tried to speak, but all that came out was a croaking sound. She quickly snapped her mouth closed and nodded.
"Are you sure? You were having some pretty nasty dreams."
When Jayson lifted a hand toward her, she wanted to shift away, because she wasn't sure she'd be able to restrain herself if he touched her, but she couldn't make herself move. Her body was on fire with need. The craving to have all three brothers touching her was almost paramount.
The moment his large, warm, calloused palm gently cupped the side of her face, she closed her eyes and inhaled. A whimper of desire escaped before she could stop it and when she felt the mattress dip close to her knees, she realized that Jay had moved closer to her.
"I love how sweet your honey smells, mate. I can relieve that ache if you want me to." Jayson's warm, moist breath puffed over her ear, causing her to shiver.
"We all can," Jordan said as he climbed up onto the bed.
"I'd love to be able to kiss that sexy mouth," Jenson rasped out as he sat on the mattress on her other side.
"You don't have to agree to mate with us, honey," Jayson said.
Kenzie forced her passion-heavy eyes open and stared into his hot, blue-eyed gaze.
"We'll give you all the time you need to make up your mind, baby." Jordan laced his fingers with hers.
"You don't need to do a thing, mate." Jenson caressed a hand down her arm. "In fact, we wouldn't want you moving around. All you'd have to do is lie back and let us pleasure you, sweetie."
She wanted, needed what they were offering more than anything, but she didn't just want them touching and kissing her. She wanted to have them making love with her. Claiming her.
Kenzie wanted the whole nine yards.
Jay nudged her chin up to meet his eyes. She hadn't even noticed that she'd lowered her gaze and had been staring at his erection. He was so long and thick and while she was nervous, she couldn't stand the internal fiery ache much longer.
Kenzie had never felt such a deep-seated lustful pain. She'd never felt desire until she'd met Jenson, Jordan, and Jayson. She'd never seen a man's cock other than pictures. She'd never had sex before.
She was a virgin and even though she wanted what they were offering her more than her next breath, she was nervous. If she agreed, this would be her first time and she didn't want to embarrass herself by crying out or weeping if she experienced pain. Plus, her ribs were still hurting and if she moved the wrong way, she could end up injuring herself further.
She didn't want to refuse them. She wanted to rip the hospital gown from her body, lie down on her back and spread herself open.
Jayson leaned in and pressed his lips against hers. A spark of heat streaked up her spine and back down again, centering in her womb and pussy. Her muscles clenched, and juices dripped out onto her soaked panties.
She moaned when Jay traced the tip of his tongue over her upper and then lower lip before he dipped in between her teeth. She groaned in frustration when he retreated, grabbed the back of his neck, and pulled him closer.
He slanted his mouth over hers, his tongue delving in to swirl and twirl around before rubbing along the length of her own. His arm came around her back and as he lowered her down to the mattress, two other hands carefully lifted her hips and eased her legs out from under her.
Jay blanketed her body, but kept his weight off of her by leaning on his elbows. He slowed the kiss and lifted his mouth from hers. She had trouble focusing when he rested his forehead against hers and stared into her eyes.
"Say yes, mate. Say yes and let us love you. Touch you."
"I haven't … I don't … "
Jay lifted his forehead from hers when she turned her head to the side. When she met Jordan's heated blue eyes, she closed them. She couldn't think straight when they were watching her with so much hunger, so much need. Or when they were surrounding her in their wonderful fragrances.
In fact, she couldn't think at all when they were near her. They were so handsome and sexy, she was overwhelmed. But not because they were dominant or possessive. Those personal characteristics were sexy on them. That was something she'd never thought would enter her mind regarding the opposite sex, but they weren't just men.
They were human, and animal and their wild untamed side drew her to them like a bee to honey. Like a moth to a flame.
They made her burn and she wanted, needed them to put the fire raging inside her out.
"Yes," she finally managed to answer even if it was only a whisper.
"Yes what, sweetie?" Jenson asked.
"I want what you're offering."
Jay slowly bent toward her as he stared at her lips, but he stilled when Jordan shoved at his shoulder and glared at his brother.
"Wait!" Jordan clasped her wrist. "What were you trying to tell us before, baby?"
"What?" she frowned with confusion.
"You started to tell us something. ‘I haven't … I don't … ' You don't need to be shy with us mate. You can say anything you want." Jenson stared at her expectantly.
She glanced away from him, sucked in a deep breath, and hoped like hell the wouldn't be turned off by her statement. "I'm a virgin."
Chapter Seven
Jordan bit his tongue to keep the roar of possessiveness building in his chest from forming. He glanced at Jay and Jenson and saw stunned covetous looks on their faces and wondered if he looked like they did. He mentally shrugged and turned his eyes back to Kenzie. She had her gaze lowered, her eyelids shielding her gorgeous blue-green orbs, and her face was red.
