The three ofthem waited patiently for my answer, and though there was no pressure, I sensed the gathering tension in theair.
“Tell us the truth, please Peyton. We don’t want to hurt you.” This from Alex, a woebegone look in his darkeyes.
“Unless you wanted it.” Gabriel waggled his darkeyebrows.
Laughter burst out of me. “Youscamp.”
Shifters were different. They lived in different circles, had different habits and values than humans. I’d heard rumors of shifters sharing sexual partners, but always it was something that I’d shrugged off. Didn’t affect me. I’d listen to stories and get on with my life, as one would watch the news about a distantland.
Now that distant land was up close and personal. Quitepersonal.
Dante had not purchased me for his exclusive use for thenight.
He’d purchased me for all three ofthem.
As always when confronted by tension, my sense of humor surfaced. I swept all three of them with my thoughtfulgaze.
“So how does that work? Do you each take a number, like you’re ordering roast beef at the deli? Now serving customerthree?”
Alex smiled, Gabriel chuckled and Dante gave a relieved sigh. He drew me into his arms, his dark gaze dancing with mirth andhunger.
“You are far from roast beef, my dear Peyton. But this is why we desire you so much – you make us laugh, and make us feel accepted andcomfortable.”
“You’re as lickable as roast beef,” Gabrieloffered.
“Thus says the poet laureate of Cheyenne,” Alex muttered, but his expression was filled withdelight.
Dante framed my face with his long, elegant hands. The hands of a pianist or an artist, not a wolf shifter who tore his enemies apart. “Tell me now, Peyton. Do you wantus?”
Serious time again. I couldn’t speak, because of all the emotion inside me. It was too intense. No guys had never wanted me thismuch.
And they were willing to pay all that money to have me, and forfeit it if this made me uncomfortable. They wanted myconsent.
Inodded.
“I need verbal consent. Say yes,” Danteordered.
“Yes…”
Barely had the word fled my lips when Dante’s mouth was upon mine. He kissed me with fervent hunger, as if he’d waited a lifetime for this. He kissed me as if I were the last woman on earth and he needed to breathe me into his verysoul.
He kissed me as I’d always imagined a man would do to a woman before he lays her down on the bed, spreads her naked legs wide and takesher.
Moaning, I snaked my arms around his neck, drawing him closer. This was what I had waited all my life for – to feel cherished and loved by aman.
No, a shifter. Threeshifters.
Still kissing me, Dante walked backward to the bed. Yanking off the spread with one hand, he laid me down so my legs dangled over theside.
Then he stripped, standing fully nude before me. I gulped. Standing out from its nest of inky black hair, his penis was long, thick andimposing.
Alex and Gabriel shed their clothing aswell.
Dante spread my legs open wide, and knelt on the floor. He began kissing me from below, tiny kisses on my calf, mythighs…
Alex and Gabriel kissed me above, one kissing my mouth, deep and hot. The other nuzzling myneck.
