BISHOP

I pressed my back to the hall wall beside the door to Audrey’s bedroom and squeezed my eyes shut, my cock so hard it hurt. Her arousal flooded my senses, and it took everything within me to stay on this side of her door.

Whil had discovered something about the mating bond, and I’d come to check to see if Audrey was finally awake so we could find out what. Except when I’d reached to open her door, she’d cried out in pleasure.

The sound had shot straight to my balls and turned me instantly hard, and I’d heaved myself against the wall to stop from rushing in to see what was going on, who she was having sex with.

But as I stood there, sucking in breath after breath that did nothing to ease the need thrumming through me because the air was rich with her scent, I realized no one was in the room. There were no other scents and the only sounds inside were her breaths and soft little mewls.

What was she doing?—?

My cock strained against my fly.

Fuck me. I knew exactly what she was doing. She was getting herself off.

Relieving the pressure from the mating bond, more like it.

I knew it was strong. I could feel the bond in Knox even though he’d mostly blocked our twin bond. It urged him to claim her, but I hadn’t realized it was so strong that Audrey had become desperate. She and Knox had only been mated for a few days, and while yeah, she could just be giving herself a little something because she wanted to, the mewls coming through the door were too desperate and her breath was too fast for something casual.

You could help her with that, my wolf rumbled inside me as he reached for the doorknob.

No. I jerked my hand away. Knox and I had shared a few women before and while matings with more than two people were uncommon in our pack, it wasn’t frowned upon like in other packs or cultures, but I had no idea how the mating bond would affect him. Especially with him so determined to fight it.

If we couldn’t break it, he and Audrey were going to end up crashing together, and I feared anyone caught in the middle, even me, was going to get torn apart.

Afterward… yeah, they might consider adding another mate to their bond, but not before.

And while I knew I didn’t need to put my cock in her to make her come, I didn’t know if I’d be able to resist the temptation.

My wolf growled, heaving inside me trying to take over.

He certainly wouldn’t be able to resist.

And not just because her arousal had been driving both of us crazy for two days now, but because we liked her. She resonated with something inside us. I wasn’t sure what. Watching her cry in Whil’s library, her body trembling with the fear that she’d been living with her whole life, had made my protective urges go into overdrive, and then I’d been unable to stop touching her during dinner. I needed to comfort her soul almost as much as I needed to comfort Knox’s.

But Knox was avoiding everyone and pushing the issue with him that he needed physical contact to steady his soul would only make him retreat more, so I’d tried to steady Audrey’s soul — and in turn my own.

Except I hadn’t gotten steadier. I’d dreamed of her the last two nights… well, her and Knox. I’d watched them crash together, their passion wild and unstoppable. My wolf had rumbled his desire but strangely had been content to watch. Somehow, despite it being a dream and my fantasy, the dream-wolf-me knew Knox needed Audrey more than I did and that my time would come.

Last night’s dream had been so hot I was surprised I hadn’t come while I was sleeping. Knox had claimed her, dominating her with his lips and hands and cock, making her scream with pleasure until she was trembling and sated and the bond between them radiated brilliant golden light.

I’d wanted so badly to join them, to claim her as well, but my wolf held me back, saying over and over again that it wasn’t time.

My subconscious didn’t seem to care that I didn’t know her. It had already decided it had seen enough and wanted her. And Knox bonding to her only made it better.

She released a loud shuddering moan, the sound shooting straight to my cock, and the scent of her arousal grew thicker. She’d come and from the sound of it hard, and all I could think about were my dreams and how my dream-wolf knew my turn to push into her hot wet sheath would come soon.

The pressure inside me exploded, shattering my control, and my cock swelled.

Fuck. I was going to make a mess in my pants then have to do the walk of shame through the house back to my room to change if I didn’t do something quick.

I leaped into the bathroom, undid my pants, and jerked out my cock. My cum erupted from me before I’d fully closed the door, spurting onto the bathroom floor, the force of my release bringing me to my knees.

Oh, fuck.

My wolf snarled, his essence surging, and I struggled to control him.

Now is the time, he said as if he were my dream-wolf.

But reality and dreams were two different things and as much as I wanted to add Audrey to my bond with Knox, for the three of us to mate in all the ways possible, that didn’t mean that was what Knox or Audrey wanted. And they were the ones trapped in the mating bond.

But my wolf didn’t give a fuck about respecting Knox’s bond or how complicated the situation actually was. He wanted to storm across the hall, make her come again and again until she was drunk with pleasure and I was once again ready to drive my cock into her warmth.

Maybe Whil’s news was that she’d found a way to transfer the bond to me like I’d suggested.

More cum spurted onto the floor.

Fuck, this was the orgasm that just wouldn’t end and it pissed my wolf off to no end that I was wasting it on the floor and not inside Audrey.

Which was a whole other level of fucked up. He’d never wanted pups before, never, until this moment, cared who we slept with. We’d enjoyed the chase, the flirting, the fucking, but that was it.

It had to be the mating bond with Knox influencing my wolf and our most primal instincts despite him trying to block our connection. The feelings were too sudden. They had to be his— or rather his wolf’s feelings for Audrey. His wolf had wanted to accept the mating bond when it had first formed and Knox had fought him and won… but how long would that last?

If my dreams were prophetic in any way — which they weren’t — he wouldn’t last long.

I stared at the puddle of cum on the floor in front of me, my cock still semi-hard in my hand even though I’d just blown my load and then some.

I really hoped Whil had good news about the bond, either breaking it or transferring it to me. Because if it was anything else, I wasn’t sure how long I’d be able to resist her. I didn’t want to have sex with her if my feelings weren’t real. It didn’t matter that I’d had casual relationships and one night stands before, my wolf had decided that Audrey was different.
