Sawyer sat very still, not wanting to startle her further. He watched as she continued to back up, her chest heaving as she breathed. Her nipples were still sharp points he longed to see and taste. And the worst part was her pussy was soaking wet with need.
She could verbally deny the attraction with as much vehemence as she could muster, but her body already betrayed her.
“I need to go.” She turned and ran across the porch and down the stairs.
Logan jumped up first, racing behind her with Sawyer following on his tail. It was Logan who spun her around as she reached her car, and he leaned into her body against the cool metal.
She breathed as if she’d run much farther than the short distance to her car. “Please.” She turned her face to one side, meeting Sawyer’s gaze to avoid Logan’s.
“Baby,” Logan began, gently. “You can’t just leave. I mean technically, you can, but I would be a jackass to let you. You’re distraught and confused. You’d never make it home without having an accident.” He threaded one hand into her hair and held her head steady while Sawyer watched. “I know this is fucked up. I know you’ve never been so confused in your life. And I want you to know we will never pressure you. You’ll sleep with us when you’re ready. Not a second before that.”
“You’re going to have blue balls if you wait for me to decide to have sex with you two. I wouldn’t sleep with you if there was only one of you. I wouldn’t sleep with either of you if you hadn’t demonstrated you were half animal. I’m not that kind of girl. I ordinarily tend to date men for a while before crossing into that territory. Like months. Not minutes.”
Sawyer stepped closer and cupped the side of her face Logan wasn’t holding. “We know that. And we understand how hard this is. But you won’t be able to deny us. That’s how Fate operates. You’re ours. It’s permanent and indisputable.”
She blinked. “I can’t think straight when you’re both in my space.”
“I know.” Sawyer smiled at her. “We can’t either. Trust me.”
“Trust you?”
“You can run, but you won’t be able to stay away. The pull is that strong.”
Sawyer turned around when he sensed someone behind him. Two someones. Laurie and Rebecca.
“Logan,” Laurie groaned, “give her some space. She’s confused.”
Logan released her immediately and stepped back. He looked like he’d lost his best friend.
Amanda sighed, taking deep breaths. “Thank you,” she said to Laurie. And then she turned toward Rebecca. “They said you would answer my questions.”
“All of them. Any time you need me. Day or night.” Rebecca handed her a card. “My cell phone is on there.”
“So it’s true? These people are wolves? And you live among them?”
“It’s all true. And yes, I live with my mates.”
“And you sleep with both of them? What? Do you take turns?”
Rebecca bit her lower lip and held up a hand when Sawyer started to answer that question. She turned to face him. “How about you give me a few minutes alone with Amanda?”
Sawyer hesitated, but Logan grabbed his arm and hauled him away. They headed back to the porch and sat on the middle step while they watched Rebecca and Laurie interact with their mate.
It was painful to say the least. Sawyer already burned for her, openly adjusting his cock next to Logan. Moving several yards away didn’t help at all. If anything, it put fuel in the fire.
Chapter Eight
Amanda ignored the giants who finally sauntered toward the house, but only as far as the porch. They didn’t let her out of their sight.
She felt a weird sense of unease when they stepped away. Not that she thought Laurie or Rebecca were a threat, but because she craved the presence of her men.
What was she thinking? Her men? Gah.
“As I was saying,” Rebecca continued, turning them all so her back was to the porch and no one could see Amanda’s face, “in order for the claiming to be complete, you’ll eventually sleep with both men. Together. Yes, sometimes in your life you’ll have sex with just one or the other, but not the first time, and it won’t happen as often as you’d think.
“At first, you won’t be able to fight the need to fuck like a bunny night and day. It’s a drive you can’t comprehend until it happens to you. It’s the way of wolves, and for some reason, even when they mate with a human, that attraction is no less fierce.”
Laurie spoke next. “I’m so sorry. I had no idea this would happen when I asked you to babysit. I’m sure your sister’s going to kill me when she finds out. This possibility never occurred to me.”
