'I’m going in early to finish our last contract projects. Stay home with them. I should be back a little after lunch.' I’m about to object to Rhen going in by himself when he leans over and kisses me. 'Be back soon. Spend some more time with Harlow.'

I touch my lips. The past two days have been the most interaction I have had with my mates since Harlow came home. I just hope it lasts. I don’t think I can go back to the Den after sleeping in my own bed with them last night.

Yet, Rhen has a point. The only way Harlow is going to accept me back is if I spend more time with her while she wants me near. I don’t really want to leave her, but now, I am wide awake, and there is no way I can fall asleep again. Letting them sleep in, I decide to head downstairs and cook us all some breakfast.

When I finish cooking, I go back upstairs to tell them it is ready. I walk into the room to find Leon stiff as a log beneath Harlow, who has climbed on top of him. Harlow growls when I push the door open, and her eyes instantly snap in my direction. Her pupils are blown wide, and I can tell she is overtaken by instinct.

Leon looks petrified beneath her. His fangs poke out from beneath his upper lip, and his hands fist the sheets. Harlow sniffs the air and finally recognizes my scent. Once she’s content I am not a threat or some stranger, she turns her full attention back to Leon. That’s when Raidon shifts awake and pulls her off Leon, making her whimper.

Stepping further into the room, I watch Leon attempt to climb off the bed. I grab his shoulders and focus on Raidon, who is trying to stop Harlow from mauling Leon. I know she won’t stop until she takes what she wants, what she needs. Some part of me knows that despite what happened last night, it isn’t me who she wants, so they will have to suck it up and surrender to Harlow.

“Harlow!” Raidon growls as her lips travel down his chest and abs before finding her prize. She shreds his boxers with her claws, and she has her lips wrapped around the tip of his cock in no time. Taking his cock further into her mouth, she purrs, only to pull back and run her tongue along the side of his shaft before swirling it around his tip.

“Harlow!” Raidon groans, his head dropping back onto his pillow as he grabs her hair in one hand and guides her mouth back down on his cock.

Leon tenses in my arms, watching them. His need and hunger grows tenfold as he watches Harlow devour Raidon. Her arousal perfumes the room, making my cock twitch uncomfortably, straining against my pants as I continue to watch her suck my mate's cock.

“I need to go. I need to get out of here!” Leon growls, pushing back against me. My grip tightens on him.

“I’m right here,” I growl in response. Fuck, why did Rhen have to leave? At least I know I can convince him to give Harlow what she is craving. While Leon fears his bloodlust, he is also terrified of hurting her and the baby.

I know she wants both of them. They are the only ones she hasn’t claimed in any way, which is why she is constantly drawn to them. All that, and her need to mark us. Though, I wonder how she will take the news once she realizes she must mark me first. We will cross that bridge when we come to it. Which by the looks of it, will be quite soon.

Raidon tenses when her lips leave his cock with an audible pop. She crawls up him, her lips nipping and sucking his flesh. But, before Harlow can get anywhere near his neck, Raidon pushes her off. The look of rejection on her face is so gut-wrenching that all I want to do is punch him.

Chapter Five

Harlow

Raidon pushes me off him. I reach for Leon, but he jerks away from me as if I will burn him the moment our skin brushes. Rejection smashes me, and I growl at him in frustration.

"No, Harlow. You know I can't. Don't make me do this!" Leon whimpers. I can feel that his need for me is just as intense as the need I have for him. He wants me just as much. So why do they keep denying me?

"I won't let you hurt her, Leon," Thane growls as Leon tries to pull away. Only at the sound of his voice do I notice Thane standing behind him, his hands on Leon's shoulders. It upsets me to know the only reason Leon hasn't run from me is because Thane is holding him in place.

My blood is boiling. If one of them won't give me what I want, I am just going to have take it from them, whether they like it or not. The bond is refusing to give up this time, not until I claim them. I'm not glass. They can't break me by touching me.

I'm horny and hormonal, and I need one of their damn cocks inside me, like yesterday. At this point, I don't care whose. The bond is tearing me apart more each day, making me more uncomfortable. I need to mate with them. The bond between us needs it. I need it!

Leon looks down at me before he glances at Thane over his shoulder.

"I won't let you hurt her," Thane repeats the promise. Leon sighs, glancing at Raidon. My nails dig into his arm when he sits up behind me.

"You'll stay here?" Raidon asks Thane, and my eyes instantly focus on him. Will it be wrong to not include Thane?

"I'm right here, Raidon. You aren't betraying me by fucking our mate," Thane assures him. I glance at Raidon, who nods, leaning his head down and kissing my shoulder.

Is that why they aren't touching me? Because they worry it might upset Thane? Thoughts run through my mind, but everything fades as Raidon pulls me back against him by my hips, his Calling vibrating against my back.

Leon crawls closer, and I can feel his hunger radiate off him. Feel his desire burning brighter than ever, yet I know there’s a reason he won't touch me, a reason that is different from Raidon’s.

Leon is scared of feeding on me. Before he can change his mind, I reach for him and pull him down onto the bed with me. I arch my back, already anticipating the pleasure their burning bodies promise to bring.

I feel greedy, selfish, and needy, but I feel no guilt about it. I pull their hands onto my body, placing them on my breasts and thighs. Their fingertips run over my sensitive skin, just a mere touch, a barely-there sensation that makes me moan louder than ever before.

Reaching up, I put my hand on Leon's cheek and guide him down toward me. I kiss his mouth, molding our lips together, letting my tongue explore every bit I can reach. The way they are touching me makes my head spin. Four hands are touching me, and two mouths suck and lick; it doesn't take long before I lose the ability to tell what belongs to who. I don't care anymore.

At this moment, lust and the bond make reality warp around us in a pleasing way. All three of us are moving on the same wave of pleasure, serving that pleasure, and letting the force of it fill the room. When Raidon grips my knee and forces my legs open, I gasp right as he crawls between them.
