That damn cat-like purr. Harper rivalled Tor with that sound.

Who’s paid and who needs following up?I said to myself, trying to get on track.Who hasn’t paid their damn invoices for weeks?

“Yes…”

What the hell were they doing to Harper to make her sound like that? Were they kissing those lips, maybe sucking those cute little nipples of hers? Or had they moved on, kissing their way down her stomach in an attempt to get their mouths on the ultimate prize? My hand slid down, the heel of it grinding into my rock hard dick. It throbbed like a sore tooth, but I didn’t want to press my tongue into it, but hers.

“Oh god…”

That ragged prayer jerked me out of my seat, the wolf taking over. He stalked down the dark hallway, wanting more. I could hear the pant of his breath in my ear, his whine, right up until I reached Kieran’s door.

They hadn’t bothered to shut it properly, hence why I was hearing the sounds they were making.

“Fuck, Harper…” Tor groaned, kissing her shoulder as his hand covered her breast.

Somehow they’d gotten her naked, the thin beam of light from the hall turning her to silver. The guys still had their pants on, thank the gods for small mercies, but not for long. She pulled away, trying very hard to resist their caresses, as her hands clawed at their belts.

“Harper…” Tor tried to knock her hands away, but without any real effort. He could’ve held her off with one finger if he really wanted to. “Holy shit…” he hissed as she slid his zipper down. As she turned around, Kieran moved, spreading herthighs wide as he lay down on the bed before pulling her hips down on his face.

“Oh!” A little yip and then her back arched, a self-satisfied smile spreading across her face. “Oh, oh yes…”

Her hips moved back and forth as she ground herself into Kieran’s face, and I thought that might be it. Harper wasn’t so easily deterred, though. Her eyes flicked open as she looked up into Tor’s eyes, right as she eased his zipper down.

“Fuck, Harper, I need…”

To stop this shit and spend some time getting to know each other. To wait until we were sure we were all on the same page. Forging a pack was hard enough, and there was no sex involved there. Now we were bringing our fated mate into things, we needed to take it slower. Tor needed to tell her that he was packing a whole lot more than a human.

Something she was about to find out.

“Oh…” Tor looked down, his whole body rigid as she peeled his pants back, then pushed his underwear down. “Are those…?”

“My spines?” Tor wheezed that out. “Yeah, we really should’ve… Shit!”

I’d heard horror stories of fated mates finding out how we are different biologically to human men, but right as I was replaying them, a slow smile spread across her face. It was marred by a slight frown, her hips shifting in time with Kieran’s strokes, but that didn’t stop her from conducting her own experiments. Her hand slid up his shaft, then one finger traced the shape of one of his spines.

“Fuck…” Tor threw his head back, every stomach muscle tensed in response. “Fuck, Harper, that feels so damn good. Babe, I?—”

“Need to explain how we’re different.” Kieran pulled free, Harper’s slick making his face shine as he rose up on his knees. “We have extras.”

“I can see that.”

She was like a kid in a candy store, and I knew exactly how Tor was feeling.

My knot throbbed at the base of my dick, reminding me of the way she’d wrapped her hand around it and squeezed. No shrieks of terror, no recoiling. Harper just found the core of me and blew my fucking mind. Which is what she was doing to Tor.

“You like that?” she asked, looking up at him.

“You’re driving me out of my damn mind is what you’re doing, Harper. I can’t…” He sucked in a breath and then pushed her hand away, but not before a helpless spurt of precum escaped him. “I can’t take that right now.”

“The spines are sensitive?” she asked, not to be dissuaded.

“So very much.” He gripped the base of his dick. “They’re made from cartilage, so they can’t hurt you.” She was drawn up, his hands going to her face. “Instead, they’re supposed to help me lock down inside you.” Her eyes went wide as he drew closer. “Hold me in place, every thrust driving me insane, and you along with me. They’ll dig in right where you need it and?—”

“Show me.”

Harper pushed him flat on his back, then moved to straddle him, only for Kieran to step in and pluck her off.

“Soon.”
