“I don’t think anything went wrong. Not as you mean. I think
we’re going to have to adjust for the strong magic you possess.” Colm shrugged.
“But that can wait until another time.”

Her chin lifted and she narrowed her eyes. “What were you
trying to do?”

Linc climbed onto the bed. He put his arms around her and
drew her into a hug. With a little work, he unwrapped her arms and put them
around his neck. Once she was so close to him, it was impossible to maintain
the distance. Leaning back, she gave him a fierce frown.

“What was the spell for, Linc?” She stiffened her arms to
keep him from pulling her close.

The bed dipped in back of her. Tossing a quick look over her
shoulder, Cami saw Colm moving in behind her. Damn. She hadn’t forgotten about
Colm, but she forgot that when she dealt with one, the other was likely to get
involved too. Colm’s hands settled on her shoulders, massaging gently.

“That’s a surprise for you when it happens.” Colm rubbed his
cheek against her hair.

“You actually expect that answer to satisfy me.” She shook
her head. He wasn’t that stupid.

“No, I expect to satisfy you.” Colm’s hands slipped around
her and cupped both of her breasts. He pulled her back against his chest. “The
questions can wait.”

“I’ll make sure that you’re sighing in pleasure by the time
we’re finished.” Linc leaned in and brushed his lips across hers in a soft
invitation.

She opened her mouth. Before she could get a word out, his
tongue thrust against hers. Colm’s hands worked gently at her shoulders. She
wanted to know what they were trying to hide from her.

Moaning, she tore her mouth away from Linc’s. “Tell me.”

“You’re beautiful. As to the other, you’ll find out when
it’s time. Now what do you want me to do to you? If you leave it up to me, you
might find yourself tied to the headboard and pleasured for hours.” Linc’s
teeth grazed over her lip.

She growled, even as the mental image sent a surge of slick
moisture straight to her pussy. She’d love to try that, but she didn’t think
she was ready for it now. Not with both of them with her. She was still new to
being with both of them.

“Maybe we can try that after I’ve adjusted. Both of you even
in the room at the same time is strange to me.” She felt her smile waver a
little. They didn’t scare her, but the situation definitely worked her nerves.

Colm turned her in his arms and gently lowered her to the
bed. “If you get scared, tell us. We’ll stop and try something you’re more
comfortable with. We’re not going to push you too fast now that you’ve admitted
you’re ours.”

Chapter Twenty-One

Too fast. Cami closed her eyes. Suddenly, it hit her. That
was it. That was the reason behind the flash of anger and some of the
resistance. She’d been sure of the decision and she still was. But their
reaction and the whole situation had thrown her off balance. They wouldn’t hold
back. She knew it, but she hadn’t thought about what was going to happen that
night much less right after her declaration.
Gods, I’m an idiot.

She sat up, slipping out from under Colm’s hand. “How about
you two lay down on the bed for a little bit and let me lead for a little
while? Give me a little time to adjust to both of you and then you can make me
scream my pleasure.”

“So you want to scream your pleasure. How many times?” Linc
flopped over onto his back.

Cami smiled. Warmth bloomed inside her at his acceptance. He
could be so easygoing sometimes and at other times, a consummate alpha. She
didn’t know what to expect from him. She glanced at Colm, who looked at her
consideringly. Him, the predator in him almost always reared its head. No
mistaking what she was dealing with at any time. His eyes burned with desire
even as he eased back onto the bed. His eyes locked onto her. If anyone took
over from her, it would be him.

“How many times do you think you can give me before you
come?” She leaned over Linc and whispered the words against his lips.

“I don’t think you’re ready for that many times yet.” He
nipped her lips and laughed the words against her lips.

“Maybe we’ll have to test out your stamina sometime just to
see if it measures up to your bragging, but for now, give me a kiss. Colm, can
you touch me and let me get accustomed to both of you together?” She turned her
head and looked at the man who now sprawled on his side next to her.

“I was going to do it anyway.” He ran his hand over her
back. “I know you’re going to love it. Don’t forget I want a kiss too before
you get too involved in tormenting Linc.”

“How do you know I wasn’t planning on tormenting you?” She
turned a little more to face him. She cupped her breasts in her hands. “Don’t
you think you’d enjoy it? Wouldn’t you like to get your lips on these?”

“I’d love to and I definitely will before the night’s over.
You know which one of us you can push more.” Colm’s fingers trailed over her
hip.

She drew in a hissing breath as she felt more than a hint of
claws in the touch. The slight sting sent a bolt of hunger streaking through
her. Her pussy clenched. He was right. Linc would let her play longer and give
her a little more freedom than Colm. Already she felt more relaxed.

“Come here and give me a kiss. Show him what he’s missing
out on because he can’t take the heat.” Linc cupped the side of her face
turning her back to him. “Let’s show him that fortitude has its rewards.”

“Does it require so much fortitude?” She crawled over him
and straddled his hips. She leaned down and brushed a soft kiss over his lips.

Linc laughed. “The most I’ve ever had to use. I want to feel
your body under me or over me as Colm fucks you as well.”

“I’m sure that will happen. Not tonight, but it’s something
I’ve been thinking about myself. I want to know how it feels to have both of
you inside of me at once.” She leaned down and licked his lips.

His hand cupped the back of her neck, holding her close. His
lips opened over hers, aggressively claiming. Her tongue thrust against his.
She claimed as he did. Her fingers clenched in his hair. As she drew back, she
scraped her teeth over his lip. A low growl rumbled through his chest.

She almost purred at the proof of her effect on him. His
eyes narrowed.
Was he going to be able to wait as he said he would?
The
thought thrilled her even more than the hard press of his warm cock against her
ass. She wanted to press that fierce hunger burning in his eyes until it flared
and erupted out of control.

Hands pulled her up and away from Linc’s mouth until she was
sitting astride him. Linc’s hands clasped her hips as if to make sure she
didn’t go anywhere. A hand on her cheek turned her. She gasped at finding Colm
kneeling next to her. She hadn’t even felt him move across the bed. His arm
curved around her waist and pulled her against his chest.

“My turn for a kiss,” Colm growled the word against her
lips.

He kissed her hungrily. His teeth scraped over hers. She
felt the prick of his fangs and that slight scrape gave her the only hint of
how wild he really was. His tongue forged into her mouth, dominating and
possessing. For a stunned moment, she remained quiet beneath his claim before
she groaned and threaded her fingers into his hair to kiss him back. His kiss
gentled slowly. She leaned into him, savoring his taste and the feel of his
hard muscles beneath her fingers.

“Do you know how long we’ve waited to see this? Or how hot
it is to watch you kissing my bond brother and know that you’re finally ready
to admit that this is where you belong?” Linc’s hand stroked up and down her
side, his fingers brushing the curve of breast in a slow, deliberate tease.

“I don’t know, but I’ve thought about you two together.” She
licked her lips.

Colm nibbled along her jaw. She drew in a quavering breath.
He couldn’t know how good that felt. Tingles followed the path of his lips and
teeth and rushed down her body. Her nipples ached for their touch and she’d
barely had a chance to kiss them, much less explore or tempt.

“Did it make you wet?” Colm’s breath puffed against her skin
and the vibrations from the words sent tingles radiating outward.

“Gods, yes. I wondered if it would be as intense as what I
imagined.” She tilted her head to the side to give Colm more access as his
mouth drifted down her neck.

“You know what I wondered?” Linc’s voice dropped to a low
growl. He waited until she looked at him. “I wondered how your mouth would feel
on my body. Why don’t you show me before Colm distracts you any more?”

Colm growled a little and she saw him glaring at Linc. She
fought a smile. He’d definitely been working on a plan of his own and doing a
good job of making her forget hers. A little frustration would be good for the
indulged alpha in him, although hearing them bantering and bickering did
reassure her. Although a frown curved his lips, his eyes held a hint of
laughter. Colm wasn’t truly angry at Linc or jealous.

She didn’t need more prompting. She smoothed her hands over
his chest. The muscles rippled beneath her fingertips. She wriggled back a bit.
Her breath caught in her throat when Linc’s cock brushed against her folds and
rubbed against her clit. Rocking her hips, she deliberately stroked the head of
his cock again.

“Are you trying to rip away every shred of control I have?”
Linc groaned and closed his eyes. His hands gripped her hips. His fingers
flexed, but he didn’t move her away from him.

“No, just enjoying myself. It felt good, didn’t it?” She
flashed a smile at him before she lowered her lips to his shoulder. Playing
with him felt so right.

“Too good. I want to feel your mouth on me before I’m so
excited that I need to drive inside you. Now either move farther back or
forward. Either is good. I’d love to suck on one of your nipples and then move
to the other.” Linc’s fingers swept back and forth across her buttocks.

She scraped her teeth across the skin above his heart. “I
want to get my mouth on you. I haven’t had a chance to really explore either of
you. Lucky you, you’re the one who gets to experience it.”

“Very lucky. Now show me and be sure to tease Colm a little
so he doesn’t feel so left out.” Linc gently urged her backward.

She skimmed her hands over his chest, but then traced a
return path using her nails. He hissed and his body tightened underneath her.
She licked at the skin above his heart and then swirled her tongue down to his
dark, flat nipple. Linc’s fingers slid up her ribs.

“No, I’m supposed to be exploring you.” She grabbed his
hands and pushed them down near his side. “I won’t get to do much if you start
playing.”

“Teasing the big cat will get you fucked.” Linc raised a
brow and stared at her with open challenge.

“But what if I want to fuck you? Do you think you’d like me
riding you? You could suck my nipples or play with my breasts as you want while
I do all the work.” She grinned before kissing his taut nipple.

“I think I can deal with that if you don’t torture me too
much.” Linc’s arms relaxed underneath her hands.

“I thought you were the strong one. Are you already whining
about torture when she just started touching you?” Colm asked and ran a hand
down her back. “Even I can do better than that.”

Linc laughed. “You’re not the one with her hands on you and
whose cock is coated with her juices from her teasing a few moments ago.”

“No, I got to watch her do that to you. It made me want to
ease up behind her and thrust deep.” Colm’s fingernails scraped over her back.

Again she wondered if those were claws, but didn’t look. She
focused on Linc. She scraped the taut bud with her teeth before taking it
between her teeth. He hissed. Sure that he’d keep his hands to himself for at
least a little while, she released his wrists. Smoothing her hands over his
abdomen, she savored the clench of muscles beneath her fingertips.

“How about I help you, Linc? Maybe she needs some incentive
to hurry.” Colm’s voice held laughter and she felt his hands slide over her
back again.

“Aren’t you supposed to be watching and letting me tease you
a little?” She turned her head just as Colm’s palms swept around and cupped her
breasts.

“I don’t really
follow
instructions that well. I’m
good at giving them though.” Colm laughed and his fingers tightened, squeezing
the full mounds.

She moaned. “I’m supposed to have time to relax around you.”

“You’re relaxed. You just like to be in control. Better get
to playing with him before I get too involved. As delicious as watching you
ride him sounds, riding you appeals far more. I might decide to do more
exploring.” His right hand slid over her abdomen and dipped close to her
thighs.

Her breath hissed from her. His touch hadn’t become more
intimate. Anticipation and imagination sent a bolt of desire straight to her
pussy. Her muscles clenched. She ached to have something thrusting deep into
her. She squirmed, but fought back the urge to guide his hand to where she
needed it.

Pushing her mind back to Linc, she swiped her tongue across
his nipple. Colm hadn’t taken away all her options, but his touch did mean
she’d need to move her plans forward a little. She couldn’t linger as much as
she’d planned to at first.

“And I had such plans. I thought you’d want to watch me suck
Linc’s cock.” She slid a coy look at Colm and licked her lips.

He groaned and his hand moved to grip his shaft. She hid a
smile at his reaction by turning to place her mouth against Linc’s muscled
abdomen, just below his ribs. Linc’s hips lifted in silent demand. His hands
were clenched at his side and she knew he was trying to resist grabbing her.
She lapped at the taut muscles and nuzzled his bellybutton before glancing to
the side to see what Colm was doing.

His hand moved over his cock in long, slow strokes. The
sight mesmerized her and she licked her lips.

“Better hurry up and get to it or Linc will have to wait. He
might be a little cranky if that happens after cooperating while you kissed and
rubbed all over him.” Colm’s dark voice had a definite growl to it that told
her just as surely as the heat in his eyes that he was serious.

Damn, okay, she’d definitely have to work on learning how to
tease them at the same time without one getting so quickly to the edge of
control. She eased down to Linc’s pelvis, kissing one muscled thigh and then
another. She had no intention of sucking him to orgasm. She wanted to tease
just a little more before she rode him.

“You’re going to need some help if you plan to ride him
after you get that mouth on him. The thought of it nearly makes me lose my
head,” Colm said just before his hand slipped between her thighs.

Her eyes widened as his fingers slipped through her slick
folds. Oh Gods, she really didn’t need any help. She already ached for them.
His fingers circled her entrance before sweeping up to her clit. Torn between a
groan and a chant for him to press a little harder on her clit, she lowered her
head against Linc’s thigh. Shivers rippled over her body and his fingers had no
more than grazed her clit.

She took a deep breath and focused on Linc. She drew her
hand up his thigh as she let her breath puff over the head of Linc’s cock. She
wanted to get a little tasting and licking done before Colm drove her out of
her mind. Her inner muscles clenched and a pang of frustration shot through her
when there was nothing to fill her.

“Do it,
i’ma
. I’ve dreamed of feeling your mouth
sucking at me.” Linc’s fingers threaded through her hair.

He’d called her “baby”. She liked that. She swirled her
tongue over the rounded head. His fingers tightened in her hair, but he didn’t
push down. She smiled a little at the restraint. She wanted to rip that away
from him. Opening her mouth wide, she took in just the head. Her tongue swirled
over and around in teasing swipes.

She stiffened as recognition slammed into her.
Mate.
Oh fuck. She hadn’t thought about this, but she should have. Desire pushed the
worry aside. She wanted to taste more.

His groan filled her ears and sent a curl of excitement
through her. She wriggled in anticipation. Her mouth firmed over the head and
she sucked. His fingers tightened urging her head down. She wanted it just as
much as he did. Her head dipped and she took him to the back of her throat
before backing off a little when her throat tightened.
