Grizzly Perfection: A Paranormal Shifter Menage Romance (Arcadian Bears Book 6) Page 25


  What was that supposed to mean?

  He found out two seconds later when she licked a path down from his ear to his neck and lower. She kissed him reverently in that perfect spot where his neck met his shoulder, and then she bit into his skin.

  The tiny puncture wounds sent a sharp, quick pain racing down his body, but it was immediately replaced by nirvana when her serum flowed from her teeth to his bloodstream.

  He swayed toward her, instantly lost in all that was Adriana. Visions of her flashed through his mind like photographs. When he first spotted her in the hallway at the hotel last Sunday. The way she moaned when he first kissed her so sweetly on the couch that same afternoon. Her brown eyes rolling back when he flicked his tongue over her clit Saturday morning. The slow smile she shot him minutes ago as he entered the condo.

  A rush of awareness flooded his system, his cock coming completely alive. All the pent-up need he’d experienced for the last several days doubled and continued to rise exponentially.

  He blinked his eyes open as she sealed the nick in his skin and his gaze met the slow smile on Reid’s face. “How the hell did you two manage to wait for me?” He knew they hadn’t consummated this binding yet. The scent of their combined pheromones was potent in the air.

  Adriana’s hands trailed down to the button on Nolan’s jeans. When her fingers touched the tip of his cock pressing at the opening, he nearly choked. Her hands were shaking, but she popped the button, lowering the zipper next. Her voice was deep and rough when she spoke. “It’s like there was a barrier. We tried to have sex, but we couldn’t. We didn’t even get this far.”

  “She’s right,” Reid added. “Craziest thing I’ve ever experienced. She had her hand on my cock over my pants, but that was as far as she got, as if the Universe froze us in that state.”

  Nolan’s smile grew. He released her hips to tug the denim over his ass and shrug out of the jeans.

  Adriana’s gaze was on his erection as she reached with a tentative hand and stroked one finger from tip to base. She continued telling their story. “Reid was touching me, but all I could think about was you. Scared me to death thinking I had royally fucked things up.”

  Nolan couldn’t respond. He caught Reid shrugging out of his loose pants out of the corner of his eye, but his attention was on Adriana’s chest. Her pert nipples called to him.

  Reid divested her of her shorts, sliding them down her thighs and then tapping her knees one at a time to get her free of them.

  A moment in time froze. The first time they were totally naked together. It should have been weird seeing Reid erect and horny for the same woman Nolan wanted more than his next breath, but it wasn’t. They were not going to be able to avoid brushing against one another to make love to her.

  Nolan didn’t care. It no longer mattered.

  He had no understanding of how this crazy ménage was going to play out over the course of a lifetime, but he did know with complete confidence that it would. Everything would fall into place and be perfect.

  First, they needed to fully claim her.

  She wrapped her hand around his cock and gently stroked up and down.

  He tolerated that for about two seconds and then gripped her wrist and pulled her hand away. “I don’t want to come for the first time against your thigh, baby. If you do that…” His voice trailed off.

  She reached up on her knees and kissed his lips briefly before trailing her hand down his chest. Her gaze switched to Reid at her side.

  He had one hand at the base of her neck and the other reaching for her breast.

  She wiggled around to touch his cock in the same way she’d so reverently treated Nolan’s.

  He also humored her for about two seconds before halting her with a grip on her wrist. “Later. We need to be inside you now, baby. You can explore later.”

  Her face was flushed when she lifted her gaze. “Do it.” She glanced back and forth. “Whatever it is, do it. I can’t wait any longer.”

  Nolan chuckled. He glanced at Reid. “I think now’s a good time to show our bossy little mate who’s in charge.”

  She lifted a brow. “Under the circumstances, since it’s two against one, I think I should be in charge. Always.” She gave a fake pout, cocking her head to one side and narrowing her gaze.

  Reid moved first. He also moved fast, tackling her around the waist and flattening her on the bed on her back.

  Before she could even gasp, he had her hands above her head and was climbing between her legs, forcing them wide enough to accommodate his body. He hovered over her, staring down into her eyes. “Let’s get something straight,” he half teased.

  She giggled, tugging on her wrists to no avail.

  Nolan crawled to her side and cupped her breast. As he slowly pinched a nipple between two fingers, he spoke for both men, “We haven’t ever shared a woman before. This is going to be awkward at first, and I’m sure we’re going to struggle to find positions that are comfortable and satisfying to everyone, but…” He let the word hang in the air for a moment until he was sure he had her attention. “Reid and I have been friends for a long time. We know stuff about each other. And one of those things is that neither of us is likely to turn the reins over to you often, baby.”

  She licked her lips. Her chest heaved. She was turned on.

  Fuck yes.

  Reid added, “What he’s trying to say is that you’ll find us to be far bossier than you can imagine in the bedroom.” He leaned closer, his face inches from hers. “And you’re going to love it.”

  Her flush rose higher on her cheeks, and the shade of red was deeper. Her arousal also heightened, filling the room with desire. She lifted her knees a few inches and clamped them around Reid’s thighs. “Please…” That one word. Spoken so softly it gave away all her cards. Defeat. Heaven.

  Nolan slid his hand from her chest to her pussy and dragged a finger through her moisture.

  She moaned, her head tipping back and her mouth falling open.

  He pressed one finger slowly into her tight warmth and dragged it back out across her G-spot.

  Her breath hitched. “Oh, God. Don’t make me wait any longer. Please.”

  Nolan smiled. “Don’t worry, baby. We’ve got you.” He was worried though. She was tight. And there were two of them. He glanced at Reid and communicated with him privately. “You have a single clue how we’re going to play this?”

  “With the utmost care, watching her closely. That’s all I’ve got.”

  Nolan pulled his hand from Adriana’s pussy and sucked her juices from his finger. “She’s delicious. I’ll never tire of her flavor.”

  Reid said nothing as he released her hands and lifted one knee over her leg to straddle it, pulling it wider.

  Nolan took his cue and settled his opposite knee between her thighs next to Reid. He noted for the first time that their cocks—now lined up and bobbing in front of their sweet mate—were similar in size.

  Adriana was staring back and forth at the two of them. She took a breath. “On second thought, maybe don’t rush. I hate to sound cliché, but I’m pretty sure this isn’t going to work.”

  Reid chuckled, his body vibrating all three of them. He slid a hand up her waist and cupped her breast. “Relax. We’re going to figure it out.”

  “Well, you can’t do it at the same time. That’s for sure. So if you had anything like that in mind, wipe the thought away.” She lowered her arms to grip both their outer thighs, white knuckling them to get their attention.

  Nolan leaned toward her, setting his hand beside her head for balance. “Maybe someday, but not today. Relax,” he repeated.

  A new clarity filled his soul. Everything was going to work out fine. They just needed to have patience and a willingness to work together.

  Chapter Twenty-Four

  Adriana stared up at both men. Her body and her soul insisted she have sex with them urgently. Her mind took in the size of their erections and thought otherwise.

  In t
andem, they both lowered themselves over her straddled thighs. They reached forward to stroke her cheeks, her neck, her shoulders, finally moving to her chest.

  Goosebumps rose all over her body as they teased her nipples with gentle strokes of their fingertips.

  “That’s it, baby. Relax. Don’t worry. We’ll make it work.” Nolan’s voice. Soothing and deep.

  Reid lifted a finger to his mouth, sucked it in, and returned it to her nipple. The cool air of the room hit the wetness on the swollen tip and made her shudder. He smiled.

  She knew they had to be silently communicating to each other, and for once, she didn’t care as long as they made love to her and figured out a way to do so without killing her.

  Nolan was the first to return his attention to her sex, tapping her clit lightly and then dipping his finger inside her.

  She moaned, bucking her torso upward unsuccessfully. She was totally trapped by their legs.

  “So wet,” Nolan whispered. “I love how responsive you are. It makes my cock ten times harder.” He added a second finger to the first.

  She bit back the noise in the back of her throat.

  Surprising her, Reid’s fingers joined Nolan’s between her legs. They jockeyed for position, both of them touching her everywhere. So many fingers. Circling her clit, pinching it, teasing the skin of her lower lips, spreading them wider, tapping the sensitive skin behind her opening. Even that last part felt good, dangerously close to her bottom, but shockingly arousing.

  Suddenly both men pushed a finger into her at the same time.

  She whimpered, partly because it felt so damn good, and partly because she was scared out of her mind. Watching the two of them worship her was heady.

  At least one of them added a finger, stretching her. Too far. She winced. But in a moment the stiffness passed, and she once again felt nothing but desire. A driving desire to have them inside her.

  Reid lifted his leg out from between hers and settled on one hip at her side, leaning his head against his palm. He stared down at her, taking her chin in his fingers. “You’re so tight, baby. It’s gonna hurt a bit, but only for a moment. Ride through it. Don’t fight it.”

  She nodded, unable to speak. In fact, she was holding her breath as Nolan centered himself between her legs and slid down to line his thick length up with her opening. She didn’t know what to expect, but him gripping his cock and stroking the tip across her lower lips wasn’t it.

  He was teasing her, and she liked it. Her nerves calmed with every pass of his penis over her sensitive flesh. Her clit pulsed with need. She jerked her gaze toward Reid and boldly asked, “Touch me. Please.”

  He smiled and splayed his hand on her belly, his middle finger stretching toward her clit and then stroking it until she thought she might come.

  They must have realized how close she was by her expression or her pheromones because Nolan took that opportunity to line himself up with her opening and dip inside.

  The stretch was shocking. She gasped. Did he intend to slowly ease inside? Because she hated that plan. “Do it. Please, Nolan. Now. Don’t draw it out.”

  He swiped a lock of hair off her cheek, brushed Reid’s hand out of the way, and lowered himself over her. And then he thrust into her without another word.

  She didn’t know who gasped louder, him or her, or perhaps even Reid, but sensation bombarded her. It was too tight. How did women do this? At the same time, the fullness made her feel consumed.

  He didn’t move, staring into her eyes while he waited patiently for her to accommodate him.

  She was grateful, both for his intention and the fact that he didn’t voice it out loud to mortify her. She finally took a breath, realizing she had been holding it back. The ache return, not from the tightness but from the driving need. She grabbed his waist with both hands and pushed. “Move, Nolan. Please. Oh God, I need…”

  He did as she asked, slowly easing out and then thrusting back in. “That’s it, baby. So damn sexy.” He kissed her lips then, his elbows landing beside her ears. Again he retreated only to thrust back inside. Every time he entered her it felt better. Nerve endings came alive. Tingling climbed up her spine. She was going to come.

  Reid had one hand cupping the top of her head, and the other one rested at her side, stroking the edge of her breast. She was aware of him in a way that bound them together, but her main focus was on Nolan.

  Suddenly he pulled out, rising off her body and climbing over her to lean on his side next to her. She glanced around in confusion, but seconds later, she realized the plan when Reid replaced Nolan between her legs.

  He lined himself up with her entrance and thrust forward without preamble. He groaned loudly, his eyes rolling back. He held himself aloft, leaving enough space for Nolan to stroke her breasts and her belly. When his fingers dipped lower and tagged her clit, she flew over the edge without warning.

  She cried out, and then her vision blurred as her entire body rode the waves of her orgasm. It felt so much better with Reid inside her than the ones they’d given her without penetration.

  She was still pulsing around Reid’s cock when he stiffened above her, plunged deep one last time, and roared out his orgasm. Every pulse of his cock shoved her forward. Was that possible? Maybe she simply imagined it.

  He lowered himself, breathing heavily, kissed her lips languidly, and then whispered against them. “You’re amazing.” And then he pulled out, his lips brushing over hers again. Instead of climbing off her as she expected, he tucked his hands under her shoulder blades and rolled them both over so that she was sprawled on top of him, her legs spread wide, her knees planted on the bed at the sides of his hips.

  Reid flattened a palm on her back to hold her against his chest when she started to lift up. “Stay still, baby. Let Nolan make you feel good.”

  Nolan’s hands landed on her hips as he straddled Reid’s legs and helped Adriana tuck her knees up closer to Reid’s chest.

  She was spread so wide open in this position she felt somehow more exposed. It was absurd. They’d both seen, touched, and tasted every inch of her skin in the last few days. Why would she feel more vulnerable? The emotion she saw in Reid’s eyes melted her soul. He loved her so much. He didn’t need to say a word for her to feel the intensity. She’d known both of them for only a week. It was crazy how she felt about them. But it was true all the same.

  A restlessness took over.

  Maybe it had something to do with Reid’s hand on her back, holding her steady. Or maybe it was the way her knees were drawn high. It didn’t matter. It made her squirm.

  When Nolan reached between her legs to stroke her folds, she stilled. He set a hand on her lower back, pressing her against Reid’s still-thick erection at her belly, and teased her clit with rapid flicks of his fingers.

  She moaned, her breaths coming quickly. Unable to hold her head up, she set it on Reid’s shoulder, her face against his neck.

  Nolan lined his cock up with her entrance once again and eased into her. He took it slow, gripping her hip with one hand and reaching around her side to play with her clit with the other hand.

  She was aware that his fingers were brushing against the base of Reid’s erection, but neither man tensed. Thank God. She didn’t want things to be weird for them. For as much as they’d both worried about something like this being too strange to consider, Nature had a way of making it perfect.

  Her arousal rose, the need to come again right at the surface. She balled her fists at the sides of Reid’s head and concentrated on the many powerful feelings overwhelming her.

  When Nolan shuffled forward a few inches, changing the angle of his next thrust, she gasped. “Oh, yeah. God. Right there.” He hit just the right spot.

  She lifted her face, met Reid’s gaze, and licked her lips.

  He smiled and then urged her to close the gap with a firm press to her back.

  And then their lips were locked, a deep kiss adding to her already emotional overload.

  Nola
n picked up the pace, thrusting in and out of her faster, every stroke of his cock against her G-spot sending her closer to the edge. His fingers worked her clit rapidly at the same time.

  He grunted. Loud. Stiffening. “Adriana, come with me, baby. Now.”

  At his command, she flew apart, only half realizing he came at the same time. She released Reid’s lips, dropping her forehead to his shoulder. The ability to hold her neck up was long gone. Her body seemed to literally become several pieces, scattered like a puzzle all over the room. The orgasm was so powerful it took her breath away.

  Nolan held himself inside her for long moments, his fingers circling her clit in gentle strokes. Finally, he eased out of her and collapsed onto his side beside them both. He left one hand on her ass, stroking the skin, his fingers close to her crack.

  She was shaking. Sated. So tired.

  Reid kissed her temple and eased her onto her side so that she was spooned in Nolan’s embrace.

  She was marginally aware of Reid slipping from the bed and returning a few minutes later. She flinched when he gently lifted her top leg a few inches, set a warm wet cloth on her sex, and wiped away the evidence of their lovemaking.

  Her eyes were too heavy to open. She heard the click of the light on the bedside table being turned off, Reid’s body positioning to face her so close they were touching in several places. He kissed her forehead. “Sleep, baby.”

  That was the last thing she was aware of before she slid into dreamland.

  Vinny had bided his time long enough. He didn’t want to get so far away from Calgary that it would be time-consuming to return. However, he did want to be far enough away that no one was around when he made his move and could shift into bear form and make his way back toward the city.

  Henry was concentrating on the road. He was also concentrating on a variety of telepathic conversations he’d been engaged in since they’d pulled away from Osborn’s hotel in Calgary. He’d probably alerted the entire Arcadian Council, especially Eleanor—the council head.
