leave, but she was past rational. All she could think about was getting laid. She’d worry about the fact that she had to leave soon afterward. Her damn traitorous body didn’t care about later. It only considered now.
When the door opened, she flinched, like she did every time. As usual, Liam and Jaden entered the cabin, filling the small room so there wasn’t enough oxygen for all three of them. It was afternoon. She saw the sun spilling through the open door before Liam shut it with a quiet snick that made her jump.
Emma had never been as on edge in her life as she was now. Even though she’d spent years watching her back, and both sides, she still hadn’t experienced the kind of restlessness as she had since being rescued by tall, dark, and handsome and his blond-haired, blue-eyed sidekick. Both men approached her now with narrowed gazes.
“Emma, we need to talk,” Liam began.
She swallowed and pushed herself to sitting more upright. She even used her ankles to help herself up and knew in an instant her leg was almost healed enough to shift and move on.
Two gazes pierced her, seeming to hold her in place. The men’s expressions were serious. Their usual banter was absent, and she thought they might be even more menacing in this state than their fun-loving selves. At least as far as her sex was concerned.
Jaden broke eye contact first, tipping his head back and scenting the air as though he were in wolf form.
Emma shivered. She squeezed her legs together, imagining he could smell her heightened arousal that had notched up when they both entered the cabin.
“What did you need to talk about?” she muttered, licking her dry lips as they trembled.
They flanked her, which they had a habit of doing every day. Liam sat on one side and Jaden climbed over her to the other. When they did that, she felt tag-teamed. They used her air and left her heaving for breaths, especially when they leaned toward her, crowding her.
“How’s your leg?” Jaden pushed the sheet aside and stroked his hand down her thigh, reaching for her ankle. He picked it up without looking her in the eye and turned it back and forth to examine it.
Emma held her breath, watching as his strong hand held her shin, his fingers grazing her skin and raising goose bumps. She could hardly remember why he might find her foot interesting right then.
“It looks good.” Jaden released her leg and let his hand drag back up her now bare skin until he settled his palm on her thigh.
She watched his movement, mesmerized as though in a trance. Any thoughts she’d ever had of escaping this mating were long gone. There was no avoiding it now. She couldn’t stop this from happening even if an earthquake shook the cabin at that precise moment.
Liam took her chin in his hand and lifted her face from the spot she had focused on where Jaden gripped her thigh. When her gaze met Liam’s, she inhaled sharply. His eyes were clouded over with the same lust she felt. “We need you, baby. We can’t go another night without claiming you. We wanted to wait until your ankle felt better, but it’s quite healed now, isn’t it?”
She nodded, even though a part of her wanted to shout “no”. There was no going back from this. She would be theirs in every way imaginable after they had sex. Would she still be able to leave? It was a chance she would have to take. It wasn’t even a choice anymore.
After several days of living in the same small space, Emma noticed the scents of all three of them had woven themselves together in a way that filled the cabin with a new, united scent. If anyone walked in the door at that moment, they might even mistakenly believe they had already mated just from the juxtaposition of pheromones alone.
It seemed as though their souls had already mingled in an unbreakable connection. Sealing their fate was now only a formality.
Liam’s hand landed on Emma’s other thigh, and both men leaned in closer to her until all three of them
