“It’ll be OK,” Finn said, rubbing a hand along my back as I climbed into the car.

“Don’t worry, we’ve got her,” Jack said, waiting for me to climb in beside Hawk.

“I know. I trust you’ll care for her as I would.”

As I settled down on the seat, the warmth of Hawk’s leg against mine a welcome one, there was a moment where the two of them just took each other’s measure, and then with a nod, Jack swung in next to me.

Hawk and Jack’s hands were on me the moment our belts were clipped, and the need was still throbbing inside me.

I looked out the window as we pulled away, watched the rest of my mates lead the way, Aaron driving with Brandon in the passenger seat.

He waved as they took off, and we followed behind.

“And just like that, he goes back to being Prince Perfect,” Jack said in a low voice, but of course, Finn heard him. His eyes went to the rear vision mirror for a moment before directing them to the path in front of us.

“I love Finn,” I said.

Hawk’s hand tightened on my thigh as I turned to face Jack, those green eyes sparking audaciously. His smile was lazy, his move into my space slow.

“I know, and our mothers are going to worship the ground you walk on because we’re going to find a way to work together, but this pod person thing is weird.”

He kissed me, his hand sliding up my thigh along with Hawk’s.

Which of course stopped me from thinking about Jack’s words and had my libido roaring back to life, sending me all sorts of ideas about the two of them working as one.

Two sets of lips on mine, their tongues tangling with mine and each other’s.

Two lots of kisses trailing down my neck until they travelled across my breasts and closed around my aching nipples.

Hands sliding down, fingers fighting to slide inside me, flick my clit.

Then two cocks positioned between my thighs about to?—

Wait, what?

My eyes jerked open, searching for further signs of mystical meddling, but when I fished my crystal out, it was reassuringly dull. OK, since when was I considering DP? While I’d seen it a few times in porn, I’d never really considered making myself the filling in a double fuck sandwich.

“What the fuck are you thinking about?” Hawk said, leaning over and running his nose along my neck. “You smell so…”

“Wasn’t like this outside,” Jack said through gritted teeth. “I think whatever this ‘we must be all one’ thing is, it's a whole lot stronger inside a closed space. Your scent is fucking amazing.”

“We can’t do this,” I told myself as Jack drew nearer. “Safe space, remember?”

“I remember,” Hawk said, tilting my chin his way. “Ain’t nothing safer than this. Car’s got a five-star ANCAP rating.”

“Oh, well, that’s OK then.” I got the words out just as his lips descended on mine, the kiss was all the hungry, crawl into your mouth, things I was feeling.

Is there anything hotter than when a guy wants you as much as you want them? It’s like all that desire comes together and becomes a whole lot bigger than its parts.

“Hey, no bogarting the babe,” Jack growled. I barely got my eyes open before Jack had tilted my head his way. I heard the rapid intake of his breath through his nose as his lips landed on mine.

Fuuuuck. This was just kissing. I kissed friends, family, sometimes even acquaintances, but apparently, it took two seriously hot guys to transform my understanding of what the act could be.

Each one kissed me stupid, all soft plush lips, sucking them into my mouth, scoring them with my fangs, flickering, searching tongues, and their taste—earthy, minty, bitter from nicotine.

Then they turned me to the other one before I could rally, starting the process again.

When the car swerved abruptly and then slammed on the brakes, it took me a good couple of seconds to muster the energy to wonder why.

Finn didn’t turn to face us, he just watched through the rear vision mirror as the guys turned their attention to the rest of my body, much to my delight and shame. It felt shitty, letting him watch me twitch and squirm, pinned to the seat by the belt and the boys, but I didn’t put a stop to it.

“I know she needs the two of you right now. We all know we need to formalise our pack bonds, and she’s ready for it. Aren’t you, Jules?”

Hawk’s head jerked up at that, those brown eyes searching my face until a bright smile lit it. “Yeah?”

I took his hand and squeezed it. “Yeah.”

“But she’s my mate, too. I love her, but I’ve been a total dick, and I’ve been holding myself apart from her?—”

“Never saw the reason for that,” Jack said, grabbing my leg and hooking it over his knee, then Hawk did the same.

Jesus, the tension in my thighs made my clit perk up like a friendly animal, not above begging for a pat.

As I squirmed to put them back down, the seam of my jeans cut in, providing at least some of the attention I was after.

“Hold still,” Jack whispered into my ear, the reverberations sending shivers down my spine. “He’s just as likely to nail himself on another cross. We want him half mad with wanting, so he puts that fucking hammer down and chooses you, for good.”

“Sexual manipulation? That’s how we’re going to resolve issues within the pack?”

“Sounds good to me,” Jack said with a grin.

“Says the troublemaker. You’ll end up balls deep on a near permanent basis.”

“Now you’re thinking.”

“—but my control is only so strong. This car is saturated in pheromones. My cock is so fucking hard.” Finn’s voice broke through the backseat haze, forcing us to pay attention.

“And it could have been in here the whole time,” Jack said, stroking his hand along my jeans covered mound.

Finn’s eyes jerked up to meet mine when I bit back a moan.

I got that this was some kind of variation on the dominance fuck Shaun and I had back in the honeymoon cottage, but fuck, it felt like I’d just finished a six-month vow of celibacy.

“This hot, sweet little cunt that feels like wet satin.

The way it almost sucks you in when you first get your cock into her, drawing you helplessly into her until you bottom out.

And then it starts swelling around you as all that blood rushes to her groin, and the muscles feel like the softest, sweetest hand, tugging on you, squeezing you until you're forced to fight for self-control and not spurt like a god-damned cub.”

Finn’s answering growl was low, but no less menacing for it. It filled the cab with the sound of his threat, growing louder as the boys faced him down and started to caress me again.

I should have put a stop to it, called it quits as we had made our point.

I saw Finn white knuckling the steering wheel as he watched, the muscles around his eyes twitching as he forced himself to keep staring, but I didn’t.

My Tirian stretched within me, chuffing in amusement at this display of dominance.

She never seemed as alive as when we demonstrated our strength.

Let him watch, let him ache, wanting to fish his cock out and stroke it a few times before spilling on the floor, all the while his throat is filled with the taste of our scent.

I was being a bitch, letting Jack flick open my jeans’ button and slide my zipper down, both boys' hands fighting to get inside my pants the fastest. My loving, supportive mate was back, he’d shown that when he was defusing things by the car, and I hoped he was back for good.

I wanted to be nice, to reconnect and get more details on the thought process that made him think cutting off our bond was the solution.

But I was not all sweetness and light. A dark, powerful part of myself rose within me, a part that gloried in Hawk and Jack scrambling to bring me pleasure, that put an insolent arch into my spine as they made contact with my clit.

Fuck! My display was momentarily disturbed as fingers worked their way inside me.

They couldn’t go deep, instead the thrusts were too shallow, which somehow just made the whole thing hotter.

Jack pulled his hand free, smiling like a kid with a lollipop when he showed me the glistening residue on his fingers before sticking out a tongue and licking one clean, and it was weirdly an echo of something Finn had done before.

He didn’t get to enjoy it for long, as Hawk grabbed his wrist and sucked every drop off his lover’s hand before pushing his fingers in to get a taste of his own.

The game was played out now. I knew this was real when I heard the rasp of everyone’s breath, our eyes half gone with lust. The guys reached across to kiss each other, licking my taste off each other’s lips before descending on mine.

Jack pulled away finally, and Hawk surged forward to fill the gap, forcing his tongue down my throat as his hands undid the buttons of my shirt. The cool air felt like a caress on my breasts.

“Drive,” Jack ordered. “You need to catch up with the rest, or we’ll be helplessly lost in this place.

We’re gonna bring our mate to a nice little orgasm right here in the back seat, and you’re going to listen to every single cry and moan we wring from her and think fucking twice about walking away from our girl ever again. ”

Those words. I looked at Jack for a moment as he turned back to me, that devilish smile Hawk and I loved so much across his face.

He was always going to be a difficult member of the pack, but he had a role, I realised that now.

So I pulled him back towards me and kissed him deep as Hawk’s hands dislodged the cups of my bra, his fingers surging forward to pluck at my nipples.

I grabbed handfuls of that blond hair as he shifted my hips closer, making it easier for his hands to return where I wanted them most.

“Gods, love, you’re so fucking wet,” he groaned.

“Starting to wonder who’s being tormented here,” Hawk rumbled.
