A Wolf in the Fold Read online

  It felt safe.

  It felt good.

  Unfortunately, she knew they had important things to be doing, both on the ranch and with the Clan Council.

  Brodey’s tone turned serious. “It’s all right, babe.” He kissed the nape of her neck again, but this time it felt reassuring, not sexy. “We understand.”

  “Then I wish someone would clarify things for me,” she mumbled.

  * * * *

  That night when Elain went to bed, she felt mentally as well as physically exhausted. It wasn’t even the fact that they were having a house full of people for Christmas.

  More the bombshells dropped on her by Baba Yaga the night before. She felt like shit for adding to Mai’s burden, despite her mom’s attempts to put the best spin possible on the situation.

  She stretched out on the bed, wearing nothing but a T-shirt, the sheet pulled up to her waist and the TV tuned to the eleven o’clock news. Brodey made it into the bedroom first while Ain finished taking care of a few phone calls and Cail picked up the house. Brodey dropped his shorts and sat on the edge of the bed next to where she lay.

  He laid a hand on her thigh. “You doing okay?”

  “Not really.” Countless images swirled through her mind without forming a cohesive resolution. “I just wish I could get a handle on everything. I feel like there’s this bigger picture I’m missing.”

  “I talked to Wally today. He said he and Kitty found another small cockatrice nest. Up in Canada. They took out four of them and burned the place to the ground.”

  “Are they still going to make it here?”

  “Yeah. They’re flying in tomorrow.”

  “See, that’s another part of this whole crazy thing. How the hell am I supposed to be any help against those things when I feel like I can’t even think my way out of a wet paper bag right now?”

  “Maybe the three of you need some girl time alone to try to sort stuff out.”

  “Exactly when am I supposed to manage that? I can’t ignore our guests.”

  “Who says you have to ignore them? They’re not kids. Well, except the three kids. Everyone knows you have responsibilities. No one will begrudge any of you that if you three just go off together to talk and brainstorm.”

  She let out a moan. “This is all way too much for me to deal with, and I can’t brain right now—I have the dumb. All I want is for life to settle down. That’s all I ask. Is that really too much to ask?”

  Brodey stretched out next to her on top of the sheet. “No, it’s not too much to ask. Just don’t expect it to happen anytime soon. I suspect this is as settled as it’s going to get. For a while, at least.”

  “That’s what I’m afraid of.”

  He captured one of her hands, lacing his fingers through hers, and brought it up to his lips. “I think I can distract you, though.” His sly smile and playful green eyes never failed to gain her interest.

  “I’m sure you can. You’re very talented in that way.”

  “Hey, I didn’t live nearly two hundred and forty years and not learn a thing or two along the way.”

  “True.”

  She rolled onto her side to face him and trailed her fingers through the light dusting of hair along his chest. Even if it wasn’t for her super shifter sniffer, she could still easily tell her men apart. Brodey’s green eyes were always full of mischief, and he wore his hair a little longer than his brothers did.

  And he never had any trouble distracting her in bed.

  Then again, none of the three brothers lacked any talent in that area, although they had three distinctly different styles, which echoed their individual personalities.

  His intense, sexy gaze softened again. That his cock hadn’t immediately inflated and threatened to poke a hole in her thigh through the sheet meant that he was concerned about more than getting same said cock buried deeply inside her. “Talk to me, babe. I want to be there for you however I can.”

  “Maybe I don’t want to talk. Maybe talking’s the last thing I think I need right now.”

  He feathered his lips across her knuckles, kindling embers of desire between her legs, her clit throbbing a little.

  He was very talented with his lips. “You sure? If you need to talk—”

  She grabbed him by the back of his head, roughly, tightly fisting his hair, and crushed his lips under hers.

  His cock instantly went rigid between them.

  Atta boy.

  He also immediately took over, rolling on top of her, his cock sliding into the natural hollow between her legs. Even through the sheet between them, she felt every vein and ridge as he slowly rocked his hips back and forth against her.

  She spread her legs, the friction through the sheet against her clit helping to refocus her thoughts on more pleasant topics than Baba Yaga, cockatrice, Abernathy, and their new Triad.

  Brodey worked his way down her jaw to her left ear, where he lightly nipped her ear lobe. His voice rumbled low and deep in his chest. “Tell me what you want. Let me hear you say it.”

  With her breath catching in her throat, she had to swallow to speak. “I want you to make love to me.” He still had her one hand in his, now pinned to the mattress. She reached her other up and around his shoulder, holding on, nails digging in the way she knew he liked.

  He nipped her earlobe again. “You can do better than that, babe,” he rumbled again. “Specifics.” He slid his cock back and forth between her legs, slowly, the sheet between them now more a hindrance than a help.

  One thing she’d learned in her months with the men, they were completely comfortable with their sexuality and had encouraged her to be open and honest with them.

  Her voice escaped her. Lucky for her, Brodey had super wolf hearing. “Please fuck me,” she whispered.

  He nuzzled lower, to the side of her neck, where he lightly nipped her. “Aaand what would you like me to do to you before I fuck you?”

  She drew in another breath. “Lick my clit.”

  He raised up enough to stare down into her eyes, a sexy smile on his face. “That’s more like it.”

  He released her hand and sat up, his rigid cock bobbing in front of him. He shifted to the side to draw the sheet down, then caught the hem of her T-shirt on his way back up again. She raised her arms as he pulled it over her head and discarded it to the floor. He straddled her again, pinning her hips to the bed with his body.

  Leaning in, he cupped both her breasts in his hands and dipped his head forward, licking first one nipple, then the other. Elain grabbed his shoulders and held on, the embers now a raging fire as each swipe from his tongue made her clit pulse and throb that much harder.

  Lightly grazing his teeth across her right nipple, he then sucked it into his mouth. His tongue swirled around it, wet heat pulling more fire from her core and sending it straight to her cunt. He repeated it with the left nipple, letting out a low, pleased growl as she dug her nails into his shoulders.

  She was barely aware of the sound of their bedroom door opening and closing again, Ain and Cail both softly chuckling.

  “Told you,” Cail said.

  “Not exactly a long shot,” Ain replied.

  Brodey worked his way back and forth, refusing to be rushed. Elain closed her eyes and held on, her passion quickly spinning out of control as her inner Alpha curled up nose to tail into a contented ball, happy to let Brodey take charge.

  She felt the mattress dip to either side of her as Brodey finally released her breasts and moved lower. His mouth was immediately replaced by Ain and Cail each taking a nipple between their lips. With Brodey now out of range, she hooked her arms around her other two men, instinctively spreading her legs wider for Brodey when he settled between her thighs.

  “That’s my girl,” Brodey whispered, his breath brushing across her clit and making her tremble as anticipation flowed through her.

  He continued teasing her, aching waves of pleasure rippling through her pussy as his breath blew over her clit.

  She b
ucked her hips toward him. “Please!” she gasped.

  “Well, since you asked nicely.”

  Elain nearly wept with relief when his lips closed around her clit, his tongue flicking her swollen nub.

  Apparently, the sounds she let out were music to his ears. He wrapped his arms around her thighs and buried his head between them, sadistically pulling her close to the edge before backing off, forcing her to lie there and take the pleasure he so obviously wanted to give.

  Over and over his tongue circled her clit, dipping into her pussy before teasing her some more, repeating the cycle until she was about ready to cry from sheer desperate need.

  When he sat up, a playful grin on his face and a gleam in his eyes, Ain and Cail also sat up. Elain let out another moan, her body now fully in the grip of the passion and desire she needed to sate.

  “Don’t worry, baby,” Brodey consoled her. “We’ll take care of you.” He pulled her up and, before she realized it, had swapped places with her so he was lying down and she now straddled him. He grabbed her hips and thrust up, freezing as his own deep moan filled the room.

  “Oooh, yeah,” he whispered.

  Cail and Ain leaned in, arms around her, their mouths focusing on her aching nipples once more. She wanted to ride Brodey like she’d stole him, hard and fast, but he wouldn’t relent. He kept a firm grip on her hips, following her motions, keeping their rhythm slow, tantalizing.

  And not nearly enough to get her off yet.

  With her palms braced on his firm chest, she finally gave in, letting the slow motion keep her desire simmering even as Cail and Ain teased her. Finally, Brodey let go of her hips and reached between her legs. “You look so pitiful,” he joked. “Let’s let you have one.”

  A low mewling sound escaped her as his fingers stroked her clit. Inside her cunt, his hard cock pressed perfectly against all the right spots. Adding Ain and Cail’s oral encouragement, it didn’t take long until she felt the first orgasm begin to sweep through her. She thought maybe Brodey would start fucking her when he felt her start to come, but he didn’t, holding still as her muscles spasmed around his cock. She clamped down on her lower lip, riding the wave out, sobbing in pleasure at the blessed relief to finally come.

  Then, he stopped, once again startling her and jolting her out of her passion.

  Her eyes flew open to find him grinning up at her. “Oh, baby, we’re just getting started with you. I want you to stay a little needy and not fall asleep on us quite yet. We obviously didn’t do a good enough job of wearing you out last night. We want to make sure you get a good night’s sleep.”

  Ain and Cail released her again. When Ain leaned over to the bedside table and pulled out the bottle of lube they kept there, while Cail retrieved a towel from the bathroom, Elain knew exactly what they wanted.

  She was more than happy to give it to them.

  Ain knelt behind her, pushing her down onto Brodey’s chest with one hand flat between her shoulders. “Brodey,” he said, “next time I accuse you of being a bonehead, remind me you do have fantastic ideas.”

  “Amen,” Cail agreed. He’d ended up kneeling near her head. After handing the towel to Ain, he gathered her hair in one hand, gently fisting it, while cupping his other hand around her head. He guided her mouth toward his cock and she opened with no further prompting needed.

  Cail’s low, pleasured groan only served to stir her own need even more. He took over, slowly sliding his cock back and forth over her tongue, setting the pace.

  Her inner Alpha wolf rolled over in her brain, belly up and happy to let her men make love to her, in control, taking away her need to think about anything else for a while except the pleasure they wanted to give her.

  Ain squirted lube down the seam of her ass and began slowly working one finger into her tight rim. Still impaled on Brodey’s stiff cock, her clit throbbed, her cunt spasming around him.

  “Oooh,” he chuckled, “she likes that, Ain.”

  “I know she does.”

  With her mouth full of Cail’s cock, she couldn’t comment out loud, but let out a happy moan of assent.

  Brodey slipped his hands between them and cupped her breasts, her nipples between his thumbs and forefingers. He started rolling them, pinching just hard enough to add a little bite to the pleasure and making her moan again.

  Ain had his one finger all the way inside her ass and was busy slowly fucking her with it. She started rocking back and forth on Brodey’s cock as much as the men would let her, the world again falling away as pleasure took over. She was the center of their world every bit as much as they were now the center of hers, and she wouldn’t have it any other way.

  Ain paused, adding more lube and a second finger. It took her a moment to adjust to it, but then she was once again eagerly rocking back and forth, her clit rubbing against Brodey but not nearly enough to get her off.

  She tasted pre-cum from Cail’s cock, and in fact he slowed down, rubbing the glans along her tongue in short, languid strokes she knew would keep him hard but not get him off. “Gonna slow down, baby,” he whispered. “Want to time this just right.”

  A warm shiver raced through her at his tone. Had someone told her this would be her life, she would have thought them crazy.

  Now?

  She couldn’t imagine life without her mates.

  Ain worked up to a third finger. She paused her motions, waiting until the pinching burn eased and turned into pleasure. He knew her body well, taking his time, slowly sliding his fingers in and out of her ass and making her moan when pleasure once again took full hold.

  “There’s our girl,” Ain said. “Ready and willing.”

  She whined in agreement. She wanted to make all three of them come, loved it when they did it at the same time, totally filling her.

  Ain withdrew his hand and wiped it on the towel before lathering his cock with lube. She froze again as he pressed the thick knob against her ass. “I’ll take it slow, I promise.”

  Problem was, she didn’t want it slow. She wanted it hard and fast, wanted them to use her, to drive her over that edge without giving her body a choice in the matter.

  But he held on to her hips as he slowly pressed forward, just the head of his cock inside her ass, giving her a moment to adjust before taking his time rocking back and forth, going a little deeper with each thrust.

  Finally, she felt his thighs press against hers, his cock buried all the way inside her. The combination of both their cocks stretching her did what it always did to her, made her feel like she was about to explode at any second.

  Brodey released one of her breasts and worked his hand between their bodies until he found her clit. “Okay, baby. Time for you to have fun.”

  No one moved except Brodey. His fingers, that is. He rolled her clit between his thumb and fingers until she cried out around Cail’s cock as another explosion rocked her. The effect of her cunt and ass squeezing on the cocks buried inside her only served to make her release that much better. Cail slid his cock deeper into her mouth, muffling the sound of her cries and giving her the freedom to scream with pleasure and relief as her orgasm rocked through her.

  Ain stroked her back, chuckling. “Holy crap, baby. That’s so fucking sexy.”

  Brodey didn’t relent, forcing another orgasm out of her while Cail kept her mouth busy and her voice muffled with his cock.

  Elain felt reality spinning away from her. It was as if her body was suspended in a web, unable to move while the men kept her overwhelmed with pleasure. She was vaguely aware of a third orgasm beginning when a vision slammed into her brain.

  A woman whose identity she couldn’t make out, screaming, in grief or agony, she wasn’t sure. Also, she didn’t know if it was supposed to be her or someone else, the vision and her reactions to it mixing in a confusing swirl of emotions. And there was a baby, a little girl, a newborn bloody and crying, ripped from the womb. Elain’s cries of pleasure turned into gasps of horror but then her men started moving as one, Brodey sti
ll working her sensitive, swollen clit with his fingers, and another orgasm swept the vision clear from her mind.

  The combined passion her three men had for her, their love, pulsed through her. Between Brodey’s magic fingers, and the emotions the skin-on-skin contact with all three men brought her, she soon found herself again awash in pleasure.

  One last orgasm broke open, swelling, making her cry out.

  “She’s had enough,” Ain said, his voice sounding tight and strained. “Let’s give it to her.”

  One more overwhelming blast of searing passion turned her conscious into nothing but physical sensations ending at her men’s bodies. Cail’s cock grew hot and harder against her tongue just before his cum exploded in her mouth. Brodey’s cock emptied a load of his seed in her cunt, while Ain’s pulsed and swelled before unloading in her ass.

  All three fell still, Ain bracing himself with his arms on either side of her body, bracketing her between the brothers. Cail’s cock softened, his hold on her head relaxing as he withdrew from her mouth and leaned in to kiss her.

  The brothers were all breathless and speechless. Elain, too worn out to do anything but lie on top of Brodey, tried to bask in the afterglow.

  Then the memory of the vision returned to her mind.

  It chilled her. Worse, she suspected the vision wasn’t some hazy what-if, but something that would really happen.

  Happen to whom was the question.

  She also had a deep-seated certainty that she couldn’t, shouldn’t share this vision with anyone. Not yet, at least.

  Ain finally moved. Elain winced a little as he withdrew and left the bed. She heard water run in the bathroom, then he returned a moment later with a warm, wet washcloth and cleaned her up.

  She rolled off of Brodey, snuggling against him as Ain crawled in on her other side and Cail moved to Brodey’s far side. The men barely mumbled good nights to her before they were gone.

  Once her men were asleep, Elain carefully slipped out of bed and into the bathroom. After using the toilet she washed her hands, her gaze falling on the medicine cabinet. For several moments, she stared at it before she opened it and spotted the new pack of birth control pills there.
