Twenty Five

Sunny

Thanks to idiot pack leaders, we'd had our adventure to Westhaven cut short. I had really wanted to spend some time in the sanctuary for the supernatural. No one had ever invited me to a haven town before. Then Ray was super rude and kicked Amara out of her new home!

My final straw was him coming for Bow. Griffin could handle himself just fine. After all, in their fight, he'd made mincemeat of the guy's face! Bow, he was too gentle for the violence Ray wanted to inflict on him.

It was a privilege to end his life for my mates. Griffin wouldn't have to deal with his shit anymore and he never got a finger on Bow.

To make it up to both Bow and Griffin, I decided we needed to go camping. Yes, I was aware it was in the middle of winter, but I was a vampire, the cold didn't bother me. Griffin had his wolf, and Bow was magic! We could have heating spells on top of the best equipment. Even just going away for one night, enjoying something that was a shared interest, would be fun.

At first, my mates were skeptical. It took about a week to convince them. They pointed out the weather and the pack issues. The store was calming down, yet was still busy enough Bow had taken on a local witch, Coral, to help him create the spells.

Roscoe, rather than Tor, had taken over the Southridge side. A born shifter, he didn't face the same discrimination that Griffin did, which was stupid because Roscoe was nowhere as strong a leader as Griffin! Anyway, the pack had sort of taken to Roscoe, and ultimately, Roscoe reported to Griffin. All of Umberwood belonged to my mate.

I asked Tor why he didn't take on Southridge. He was better placed than Roscoe for it as another born shifter, but one mated to the former leader's daughter, and also Griffin's most trusted friend. Tor said Nora refused to go. She hated what they represented. Her father used her as a bargaining chip, not caring if her mate was decent or not. She had been lucky to find love with Tor.

It was Bow who explained it was best Nora stayed close to us. Pregnancy was such a vulnerable time for her. All someone had to do to hurt Tor would be to go after Nora. They could lose their baby to stupid territory squabbles.

My respect for Tor grew after that. He had his principles and loved his mate dearly, something I could understand. Ever since the moment they came into my life, I knew I would love them. I was just waiting for the right time to tell them.

In the end, it wasn't my epic blowjob skills which convinced them to go camping, though I gave it my best effort. It was running low on leaves for a spell. These leaves were very important to a warding spell and had to be picked during a waxing moon. Of course, Amara could have gone, it was part of why she was hired to work in the shop, after all. I worked my persuasive magic, not my vampire ability, my actual brain, and argued for us to take the trip instead.

Amara had hit it off with the new witch, they were in the early stages of dating, so cute! The snag was Coral was not a camper. We didn't want to risk the witch's safety by leaving her behind while Amara went away. We didn't know if members of the Southridge pack were keeping tabs on us, looking for a time to strike. Of course, we could have guarded Coral, but we thought that was a little much when we barely knew her. Fated mates were different, okay?

"The best place to find these leaves is in a shaded spot, so like at the bottom of a cliff where there's a ton of vegetation to protect them. They are pretty fragile. They like a northerly facing spot."

"All you need to do is give us one to sniff. Between us, me and Griff can sniff it out."

"Huh. That's handy."

Since my truck was the biggest, we took it and our gear to the last known spot for these leaves. They didn't do well when grown in a greenhouse. I was just grateful the plan was to pick a lot of them at once. Bow could magically preserve them until they were needed for spells.

I drove a couple of hours to a national park. We got our permits to camp while Bow disguised Jinx as a dog again. Far easier to explain than a bearded dragon. Jinx was wearing his cutest rainbow hoodie to keep him toasty warm.

We trekked for about an hour until we found an ideal spot to put our tent. By that time, the moon wasn't quite high enough. I thought it was best for Griffin and Bow to eat while I made use of the fading light to set up the tent.

Bow set up a spell to light the way. With Jinx bundled up further as the temperatures dropped, we started our hike.

"Here." He held up some preserved leaves. "Sniff that. We're coming up on a likely area."

"Do I get a prize if I find them first?" I asked, desperate for a challenge.

"Depends on what you want," Bow hedged.

"He wants to be fucked by both of us," Griffin said dryly. "We can't fuck you at the same time in that tent, but find the leaves first and we'll both fuck you. I'll also let you bite me."

If I wasn't completely mistaken, our wolf had uncovered a kink. He was quite tasty, so I was onboard with that.

"I like this plan. Bow?"

"Sounds good to me. I'll also let you bite me."

Taking a deep inhale of the leaves, I got ready to leave.

"Hold on," Griff ordered. "What do I get if I win?"

"Hmm, what do you want?" Bow's eyes glinted with challenge. Either way, he was pretty much guaranteed to have fun.

"I want to fuck you, Bow, while Sunny watches, but he's not allowed to come."

"That's it?" My voice was shrill. "Oh! It's on! There's no way you're winning." I held up my hand and did a countdown. "Five, four, three, two, one, go!"

Off I sped, deeper into the woods.

The scent of the leaves was fairly easy to pick up. "Got it!" I yelled not thirty minutes later. It took a while for Bow and Griffin to catch up.

"This is great, Sunny!" Bow's eyes were rounder than usual as he took in the area I'd found. "We can take a couple of sacks back with us as long as we leave some of the plant intact so they can grow back."

"Here." I pulled Bow into my arms and sat on a rock. "You're cold." Griffin wrapped an arm around us both while we waited for the waxing moon to do her thing.

Magically heated, Bow sort of dozed with us until it was time to collect what we came for, then directed us to get the right parts without harming the plant underneath.

"Will the park warden be okay with you taking this much of the plant?" Griffin asked.

"This plant is pretty invasive. It's not natural to the area. I think they'd rather we cut it right back. He's a forest guardian spirit, so he knows why we want it and who we are. They rarely let people camp up here."

"Ah, I did wonder." Griffin tied off the sacks properly and wedged them between two trees so they couldn't blow away, as the wind was picking up.

I unzipped the tent, motioning for Bow to enter ahead of me. We were big men, at least me and Griff were, so we'd sprung for a much bigger tent than the measly two person one Bow had before. Still, it didn't have a lot of height, so we had to duck down.

Getting undressed was a challenge. I popped a few buttons and broke a zipper in my haste to get naked.

My mates' eyes filled with heat as they watched me. They were more careful about removing their clothes, peeling out of them while keeping their eyes on me. I hardened under their intense gaze.

"Lie down on your front," Griffin ordered. I complied easily.

They wasted no time kissing up my legs and taking turns to lick and suck at my eager hole. They paused for too long, leaving me aching. I turned my head and caught them kissing each other, hands on the other's cock.

"Hey! I won, so fuck me!" I demanded petulantly. Honestly, I could have flipped over and just stroked myself to the show they were giving me.

Griff gave Bow a little push to settle beside me, then in a totally hot move, grabbed my ankle and flipped me. He found the lube I'd left out on purpose and slicked his fingers before breaching my hole.

Bow took my mouth and stroked my leaking dick. The dual sensations were amazing.

"Please," I begged, more than ready for one of my mates to fuck me properly.

"You first, Bow. I wanna fuck your come deep inside of him so he knows who he belongs to."

I whimpered. God, that sounded so hot!

My mates switched positions so Bow could ease inside my body. He stretched me just right. Griffin tweaked a nipple, and kissed me as Bow thrust deep and hard.

He blanketed my body and grunted when Griffin snaked a hand down to his ass and breached his hole. They shared a kiss, then both kissed me. It was sloppy, sexy, free, and wonderful. A joining of the three of us.

Bow's thrusts slowed to a gentle rock as Griffin stroked his prostate. Each time his cock swept over mine, I could almost see stars.

Getting a hand between us, Griff stroked me in time with Bow's movements. The perfect pressure of his hand, the twisting movement, coupled with Bow's cock inside me, pushed me over that ledge. I came clamping down on him, bringing him to his orgasm as I bit into his neck.

Our wolf let our witch catch his breath before taking his place. He was bigger than Bow, making me ache for a second. I loved both for their differences.

"Hold on," Griffin rasped as he flipped us again, so I was riding him.

I set a slow pace, rocking and grinding on his cock. Fuck, this was good. My hole had that delicious used feeling. Knowing I had Bow's load inside me added something naughty to the experience.

Griffin's hands tightened on my hips, guiding my movements, picking up the pace. All the while, Bow watched us with a sleepy, satisfied look on his face. He kissed Griffin and crooked a finger at me to lean down for a kiss.

The look of lust on Griffin's face was just perfect. I needed to etch it into my memory to replay whenever I was bored or Griff pissed me off. Chances were, he would at some point. I knew I got on his last nerve a few times.

"Want to see my dick covered in Bow's come." Griffin grunted as he lifted me off his cock until he nearly slipped out.

My head bashed the top of the tent, and I automatically grabbed at the poles. He plunged me down on his length, shocking me into nearly over-balancing. I pulled at the poles, snapping them.

He didn't stop fucking me, even as the tent fell down around us. Bow laughed, digging himself out of the fabric to see us.

"Bite me!" Griffin's raspy tone was doing all sorts of things to me. I leaned down and bit into his neck. The angle, the taste of his blood, all of it had me so close. I came for a second time after a few more savage thrusts. Griff followed.

We lay in the remains of the tent for a minute before separating.

"I can't believe you broke the tent!" Bow continued to giggle.

"Should we just go home?" Griff suggested. "We got what we came for."

I looked at Bow, who shrugged. "Yeah," I agreed. "Only problem is, my clothes are ruined."

"Didn't you pack spares?" Bow's eyebrows were raised in the dim magical light.

"Um, no. I hoped this would be a clothing optional kind of trip."

Bow laughed again, shaking his head. "Only you. I love you." The words seemed to surprise him. "Both of you. I do. I love both of you," he said, seriously.

Our witch was the sweetest. "I love you both, too, as if it wasn't obvious. I'm crazy about you both." My heart was so full of love for these guys!

"Here." Griffin threw me my clothes. "I'll shift and carry one bag if you tie it to me."

We stared at him.

"I love you both, too," he muttered.

Bow and I shared matching silly grins. Our werewolf was so cute!

"Thanks," I said for the clothes, not drawing attention to the flush over Griffin's face. He was so repressed. Me and Bow would fix that.

"You have to pack up the tent, though." Hardly fair since he helped me break it, but whatever. I was too happy with how the night had gone to complain. My mates loved me! We'd said the words!

Griffin ducked outside to shift. The sounds of bones breaking filled the air.

We got packed up pretty quickly, even with Griffin overseeing in his furry form. I rushed to put Jinx in the car with one of the sacks then returned to help the others.

Loaded down with the tent, Griffin's pack, my things, and two of the bags of plant matter, I followed Bow back to the truck.

"It's so dark!" He stumbled. "Shiitake!" He was so cute!

"Come on, climb up."

"But you've got all this stuff!" he protested.

"Hold tight. I've got my vampire strength, remember, this is nothing." If anything, it was just awkward to hold.

He climbed onto my back, wrapping his arms and legs around me.

"Catch up!" I yelled to Griffin as I sped through the forest.

Bow whooped with joy as we raced our wolf to the truck.

This was what I wanted for always. My men beside me, healthy and happy.
