“No one’s saying no,” Slade said.

“Sure sounds like it.”

“Jules,” Aaron said with a sigh, “just give me a little time to talk to my brothers. Taking an unmated woman into a compound of men...”

“Maybe I want that,” I snapped.

All of the guys went still around me for a moment. When I looked them over, each face was carefully blank.

“What? Does that get you hot or something?”

“Well, yeah. To see you drowning in?—”

“Enough, Slade,” Finn said. “What we think is beside the point. The question is, does it make you hot?”

My Tirian had all sorts of thoughts on that.

For her, this was a simple, sexual survival of the fittest test. Who could get us off, and keep getting us off until we didn’t want to anymore, would make for suitable potential mates.

Of course, other characteristics such as the ability to work with the rest of the team, being good with children, being able to fulfil their responsibilities were all important, but not to be considered until sexual compatibility had been established.

I felt my cunt slicken at the thought of it.

The men who had been with Aaron at the matching hall, their faces were hazy right now, but their bodies.

They were all built like him, huge broad frames packed with muscle.

My eyes dropped involuntarily to Aaron’s pants.

“That’s got nothing to do with it. I want to see the... thing that attacked me. He tried to kill me.”

“And it’s gonna happen, I just want to give the CO some time to get the facility in order.

He can pull in married men to look after the place while you’re visiting.

” I stared at Aaron. He came closer, reaching out a hand with a question in his eyes, placing it on my waist and drawing me closer when I didn’t say no.

“We’re not trying to stop you from doing what you need to, just making sure you’re safe. ”

I nodded stiffly, something that softened when he bent down to brush his lips against mine. Yesterday’s disorientation seemed to have vanished. Aaron had proved himself worthy, he was in until I decided otherwise.

“And I need to alert Kelly to what we’re doing. Not to stop you,” Finn said, sliding in on my other side. “But she’s going to have thoughts about this. If we want to prevent her from marching down there in protest, I need to have a conversation.”

“I can’t understand why he would have attacked me like that. Everything I saw showed the black wolves raping and capturing women, not trying to kill them. I nearly died. If I’m going to move on, I just want to see him.”

“And I’ll tell Kelly that, I promise. Aaron will alert the prison facility. Slade’s going to pick up some supplies with Brandon, so Shaun will be here if you need anyone, OK? We’ll be back soon.”

I nodded.

Finn deposited a kiss on my forehead and then pulled away. Aaron was a little slower, holding me close for a second and then kissing me goodbye.

“Do I get one?” Slade said with a grin, hugging me close.

“So you can imagine me drowning in dick?”

“C’mon, Slade, I don’t want to spend any more time away from here than we have to,” Brandon said, pulling him towards the door.

“You’ve gotten so bossy lately,” Slade said with narrowed eyes. “What’s gotten into you?”

“It’s more what he got into Aaron,” I said. “Actually, I agree with your little fantasy. It’d be totally hot to see you drowning in dick. One in each hand and every hole.”

“Now, sweetheart...”

“Covered in other men’s cum like the slut you are.”

“Honey, let’s talk this through.”

“No time for that, no matter how I might wish otherwise.” Brandon shifted his dick in his pants. “Best food comes in the morning, so we need to be there before all the queens start making their demands. So c’mon, hot stuff, wiggle those buns.”

Slade shot him a shocked look when the other man slapped him on the arse.

“Are you sure we need Brandon in the group?” Slade said. “The joint blow job was one thing, but the man’s starting to take liberties.”

“Jack and Hawk will be by to look over the fence. I don’t think there’s an issue with it, but it’s not a bad thing to check it.” Brandon caught Slade’s side-eye and glared at him. “We’ll all be back in a few hours.”

“You good, Shaunie?” Slade called out as the blond man emerged, drying his hair with a towel. He nodded.

“I know where the guns are, but we’re not likely to have an incursion, not with what she said at the matching hall.”

“Right then, anything in particular you want us to pick up, love?”

I let my eyes rake over the men, imagining for real the various ways we could waste the morning, if they weren’t so damn certain we needed food to survive. Slade saw the heat there and grinned, slow and sexy.

“Wear some of that out with Shaun, love, but save some for me.”

An awkward silence settled over the lounge room as the door shut. Shaun grabbed his cigarettes from the dining room table and said, “Wanna come sit on the porch for a bit?”

“OK.”

I blinked when we emerged out into the morning light.

With the exception of going to the matching hall, I’d been closeted in the house since I’d turned.

There was always someone dragging me down to the bedrooms the moment I was up and about, the only sun I saw was when we had a meal together or filtered through the bedroom curtains.

There were several chairs set up on the broad deck, empty cans of beer and an ashtray covered the small coffee table. I took a seat.

“We haven’t talked...well, at all,” he said. He lit a cigarette, then came to a squat beside me, rubbing my arm. “I’m sorry about before. There just wasn’t much point pursuing things further until the change happened.”

“I obviously felt differently about that. So, what? You didn’t want to get to know me unless you knew there was an opportunity to become part of my harem?” My Tirian shifted inside me, eyeing the man closely.

“I really did have to work that night.”

“And the next night?”

“You got snapped up, just like I thought you would. Then you got...sick. When you turned, I figured I’d try to prove my worth when you went through the change.”

“And so here we are.”

I looked Shaun over. His hand dropped lower, to rub along my thigh, something that had me stirring despite myself.

I didn’t know Shaun, didn’t know if I liked him, hated him or just didn’t care.

I did know right now that I liked the feel of his hand against my skin, that fall of his ragged blonde hair, the dramatic bone structure, the flex of the muscles in his forearms all had an effect.

His blue eyes stared into mine as his hand worked slowly higher.

I licked my lips as I hooked my leg over one of the arms of the chair.

His eyes dropped down, his hand had slid up and under the hem of my shorts.

His fingers grazed along the seam where my thigh met my groin.

They weren’t where I wanted them to be, which had me wriggling on the seat, something that made him grin.

I heard the crunch of tires on gravel as it came up the drive, but Shaun didn’t look away or move his hand.

Rather, his fingers brushed over my mound, edging closer and closer to where I ached the most. If you’d asked if I’d let a guy stick his hand up my shorts and brush my pussy as strangers drove up to my place a couple of weeks ago, I’d have thought you were mad.

If you’d said I’d be moving in my seat as the driver’s eyes bored into mine through the dirty windshield, gasping when Shaun’s fingers slid through my folds, smearing my dampness across my clit to give it a few flicks, I’d have been aghast. Probably as horrified as I was when he waited until the doors of the truck were slammed shut, and I could see the men walking towards us, to withdraw them.

Superficially, you’d think Jack and Shaun were similar.

They both had long blond hair and lean muscular bodies.

But Shaun’s eyes just burned into mine as he licked my leftovers from his fingers, whereas Jack was a picture of arrogant swagger, strolling on over, Hawk a dark shadow at his shoulder.

His smile was sly as he took everything in, Shaun adjusting his cock, moving away from me to sit down, me dropping my leg, aiming for a semblance of modesty.

“Hey, baby,” he said, green eyes glittering as he looked down at the two of us. “Just here to see to the fence. Make sure you’re secure in your little castle.”

Hawk’s eyes scanned the lot of us, his nostrils flaring as he took in my skimpy clothes and Shaun’s fingers, before coming to rest on my mouth.

“Yeah?”

Jack was trying to bait me, I could feel the shift of my Tirian inside me, unhappy at such a blatant display of disrespect. She wanted him flat on his back, neck bared to our teeth, and then she wanted to explore all the many ways he could make up for his previous show of insolence.

He flicked a look over at Shaun. “How’s it going, Shaun. Missed you on the worksite.”

“Had my hands full.”

“Have you indeed?” His eyes slid down my body, taking an inordinate amount of time in the process.

I noted Jack’s unbuttoned work shirt, casually putting on display a tantalising glimpse of his lean chest, something I was willing to bet he’d planned. His pants hung low on his hips, a dark blonde happy trail leading the eye. He chuckled when I took in the sizeable hard-on there.

“Sorry, baby,” he purred, “you smell so damn fucking hot. Me and Hawk, we’d lick every damn inch of you. Shaunie as well, if that’s what you want.”

Of course, my mind then supplied a very detailed visual of just that. It felt like my thighs were drenched as I watched my mental images of Jack, Hawk and Shaun do amazing things to my body and theirs. Fuck , I stiffened in my chair, I had no idea guy on guy got me so hot.
