Chapter Eleven

Olivia

Olivia jerked awake suddenly,just as the wolf teeth snapped closed around her ankle. Her eyes shot open and she didn’t recognize anything around her: the huge bed, the bookshelf in the corner, or the view from the bedroom window.

Her eyes focused a little more on the lump in front of her, and slowly, she realized it was a person with brown hair and a reddish beard.

Craig.

The previous night came rushing back to her: the restaurant, the shifting, Buck, the barbecue, and finally, collapsing on the bed “just for a minute.”

A thick, strong arm snaked around her from behind and pulled her against a big, warm body.

Jasper.

She could feel his erection against her lower back, and even though she’d just woken up, something stirred inside Olivia. Her body responded to these men in a way she’d never dreamed possible, like she was made of dry kindling and they were matches.

You’re not what they need, she thought, but she was already pressing herself backward against Jasper, biting her lip as she watched Craig, his perfect, sculpted shoulders rising and falling as he slept.

You could still have some fun, though, she thought. Before they find the right girl.

Slowly, gently, she lifted the heavy comforter to get a better look at Craig. She could tell that Jasper wasn’t naked, and as she lifted the blankets, she quickly found out that Craig wasn’t either.

He did have a hell of an erection, though, and just looking at it made her ache. Olivia squeezed her thighs together, hoping that would quell her hunger, but it just made it worse.

Well, it’s been ten years since you got any action at all, she thought to herself. And fooling around with Tommy Parker once at the only party you ever went to in high school wasn’t exactly a satisfying experience.

She could only imagine the satisfying experience that Craig could give her, but something made her hesitate.

I already slept in their bed without asking,she thought. Peeping at him is just rude.

Sighing mentally, she put the comforter back down and brought her eyes back up.

Craig was awake. Olivia froze, even as she felt caught by his gaze. She held her breath.

Great job checking out someone’s dick while they were asleep, you lunatic weirdo!She thought.

“Good morning,” Craig said. A grin crept onto his face.

“Good morning,” said Olivia. She was still more or less trapped between the two of them, Jasper’s right arm thrown over her and holding her tight.

“Hi,” murmured Jasper behind her. His erection shifted against her back, and Olivia had to close her eyes as the heat rushed to her face.

“Checking out the goods?” Craig asked her, a teasing smile on his sideways face.

Olivia opened her mouth, then closed it, then opened it again.

“I was just seeing if you were wearing pants,” she said. Technically, that was true.

She’d checked, after all. It was afterwards that she’d stared.

“I am, but they’re the removable kind,” Craig said.

“Don’t tease her, she just woke up,” Jasper mumbled from behind her head, burying his face in her hair. “Craig’s the rise-and-shine type. Don’t worry about him.”

“She wasn’t worrying, just curious,” Craig said. He put one hand on her hip and pulled her closer until she was inches from his face.

Please, god, don’t let my breath smell terrible, she thought. Her brain was fogged with sleep and lust, but she was almost certain that Craig and Jasper wanted her.
