Chapter Sixteen

I hadn't been 100 percent sure how it would go with the three of us shifting together. I mean, you don't usually see bunnies frolicking with panthers and wolves in nature. If any humans had gotten a peek at us, they'd have been very surprised. The video would be all over social media. But…one of the advantages of being out here was that we had privacy in the open lands behind the motel. One day, hopefully, we'd have the place filled to the rafters with guests, and unless they were all shifters, we'd have to be cautious about when and where we ran, but for now? It was heaven.

Thia loved watching us, too, running around my bunny and the big, ferocious-looking wolf and panther, like we were her backup band or something. Although she'd only been around bunny shifters until now, it hadn't taken her long to recognize her royal court. The other animals already adored her and lay down to let her pet and caress them like pets. Everything that happened with these men gave me more confidence that I'd made the right decision in coming here. Their animals were as kind to Thia as their human sides, and they watched over her as if she'd been in their care since she was born. If my late mate was looking down on us, I hoped he was proud of me now that I'd stepped out of the puddle of grief I'd been wallowing in for so long. I never doubted he was proud of Thia. Who wouldn't be? She was smart and funny and sassy and beautiful. And, at the moment, sacked out in her bed, exhausted from all the running around. I was checking on her one more time before we went to bed.

"Is she asleep?" Ripley whispered next to my ear.

"Oh yeah." I leaned in to him. "Chasing wolves and panthers can have that effect on a girl."

"I'm a little tired myself," he murmured. "Fyn says we should turn in early."

"I hope you're not too tired." I closed Thia's door most of the way. One of the things I'd brought with us was her old baby monitor, and we had it set up in there to be sure we wouldn't miss it if she needed us during the night. No matter what might be going on, she came first. It suddenly occurred to me that she hadn't awaked crying once since we got here. It hadn't been very long, but it was still an improvement. One I was grateful for. She had said she liked having three daddies. Maybe it was just the security she needed. Whatever it took to make her happy and feel safe.

But that didn't mean I was here with these men just for that. Not at all. With Thia safely down for the night, we could go to our room and do what we'd wanted to since we met. Or maybe even while we were still talking online and didn't know the connection went three ways. Slinging my arm around Ripley's shoulders, I turned toward the bedroom where we would be sleeping together tonight and into the future.

Fyn was already in the room, sitting on the bed, when we came in. "The princess is asleep?"

"Yes." I closed the door behind us. The monitor would alert us if she woke up. "Where does everyone like to sleep?"

"Under you." Fyn stood and came to wrap his arms around my waist. "But not asleep." I bent and captured his lips with mine. He pulled on the hem of my shirt and lifted it over my head. Cheeky omega. I took his off, and then we both removed Ripley's. This led to a quick removing of everyone's clothes down to bare skin. We'd seen one another naked while shifting, but that had been very fast, and now, by the light of the bedside lamp, we had a much better view and chance to not only see but touch, which we did. I'd never been with more than one person and hadn't been sure how it would work, but once we began, any worries were gone. Fyn backed up to the bed and held out his arms, and somehow we both went into them. It was beautiful and astonishing and the draw to mate and mark both of them was so strong, it was dizzying. In our fluffle, the alphas marked omegas and nothing more, but that would not be how it was here.

My alpha and omega were kissing, and I held back for a moment just taking in the sight. I wanted them both, another entirely new experience to me. And I knew what we would do, how we could mate one another all at once. I whispered to the two of them what I had in mind and from the light in both their eyes, I knew they were on board. I took my place over Fyn, drawing his slick onto my fingers and transferring it to my own body.

I had never had anyone inside me, except my mouth of course, and I was a little scared, but also, as I found my way to Fyn's hungry hole, I felt Ripley preparing me with his fingers, thankfully using the copious slick of our omega to prepare me before he prodded me and then with a thrust was inside me, and I was inside Fyn…and we were all joined to one another.

Everything stopped for a moment before we began to move again and things moved fast. We moved fast, driving into our omega and into me and I reached down and grasped Fyn's cock, the pre-cum making it slippery, easy to jerk hard and quick because if Ripley was anything like me, he was close. And then his cum was filling me, and that set me off, and Fyn was spurting onto my belly. My knot swelled, but thank all the gods Ripley's did not because I was going to be very sore in morning, no matter how great it felt now. Then we were biting, sinking teeth into one another, somehow in contortions that shouldn't have been possible.

When my knot shrank, we all fell to the bed in a heap. Mated, marked, but the night was young.

And I wanted these men again and again.
