“Yeah, I guess. If by ‘crave’ you mean that I want Alejandro to jump my bones every time he’s in the room.”
“And Ryan? You can’t tell me you don’t feel the same way about him. I saw the two of you and both your responses when he first came into the kitchen yesterday.”
“Yeah, Ryan too. But that’s just weird. I’m trying not to think about it.”
“You’re going to have to face it soon.”
“Face what? Choosing one?”
“No,” Kara shook her head vehemently. “Lin, honey, they are both going to claim you. Both.” She leaned closer. “Sweetie, let go of your previous misconceptions that you must have just one man in your life. Believe me. You are going to love this and thank your lucky stars. Just imagine, not one, but two men are going to dote on you for the rest of your life. You will never, ever, be unsatisfied.”
“Uh uh.” Not going to happen. “You know I could no sooner live with two men than I could chop off my own arm. You of all people know me that well.”
“I know this is crazy and of all the people in the world for this to happen to, I can’t imagine why you, but it has.”
“Years of therapy. Hundreds of hours spent just trying to reconcile with myself that it is okay to even have sex with one man. One, Kara! You know how hard the last few years have been for me. And I’ve dated. I’ve had sex without being married … gasp.” She threw her hand over her heart in mock jest.
“I’ve even enjoyed it … sort of. I’ve let go of everything I was taught as a kid. Hell, I even have a vibrator and, Lord strike me down, I’ve used it. But this, this is too much. It’s not right.” She glanced at her best friend. “Don’t get me wrong. I’m no longer the prude I used to be. I pass no judgment over what lifestyle you choose to lead, but asking me to do the same? Not gonna happen.”
“You’ll see.” Kara smiled, almost condescendingly.
“I’m not sure I can even wrap my head around that part. I can no sooner accept that they are wolves than visualize myself engaged in a threesome.”
“You will.” She just smiled again, that all-knowing grin that indicated she was overly confident she was right. Lindsey wasn’t so sure.
“So how does this work, with you I mean? Do you each have your own room and the men take turns coming to you? Like Monday Wednesday Friday, Tuesday Thursday Saturday, or something?”
Kara was shaking her head and chuckling before she’d even finished speaking. “No, we all three share one California King. I’m in the middle.”
“And they like … uh … both have sex with you at the same time?”
“Usually. It isn’t mandatory. Sometimes it’s just two of us, but never the men together. Me and Justin, me and Trev, or all three. They aren’t bi.”
“Uh huh.” She nodded, but she wasn’t quite getting it. “Do you… Do they…” She was too proper to say what she was thinking.
“Yes, they use every orifice. And you will love it. There is nothing in the world like having two men inside you at once. The orgasms are the best.”
A chill shook Lindsey’s entire body. No way was any man entering her back door, or even thinking about it. Sure, she was attracted to both of them, but she couldn’t begin to imagine acting on it or even juggling them both at once individually. She’d had only a few long-term relationships, and never ever cheated on anyone or even come close to starting a new relationship until after the first was completely over. Not gonna happen.
“You will,” Kara repeated.
“Why does it seem like people keep reading my mind?”
Now she laughed. “I am not ‘reading your mind.’ I just know you and I know how you think. Alejandro and Ryan, on the other hand, probably are starting to hear your thoughts. It’s part of the process.
“Once they claim you, all three of you will be able to communicate through your minds, telepathically you could say. The fact that you’re destined for that path is causing the process to begin. They can sense your moods and some of your strong thoughts. After, they’ll be able to hear everything you think loud and clear, even from a distance, and you’ll have to learn to block some of that.”
“What does this claiming you keep mentioning entail? Like a ceremony?” Not that she was willing to participate, but she still wanted to know.
“No. Not like that at all. Wolves don’t have weddings or anything. The claiming is what automatically happens to bond the three of you together for life the first time you all three make love together, and well … orgasm, which no one will be able to avoid so it’s kind of moot.”
