“Come,” the woman snapped. “Devil’s club juice will help frostbite.”
Shiya tossed Birk an amused, if doubtful look. “Seriously?”
He chuckled.
Kotori, who seemed calmer now, spoke in the Tlingit language to his grandmother and repeated it in English for Shiya’s benefit. “She has to take care of some business, and then she will submit to your treatment.”
His grandmother appeared to accept his explanation, and Shiya followed Birk and Kotori to one of the cabins. Once inside, she marveled at the equipment—two computers with massive monitors, printers, and other peripherals.

“Damn, what do you have going on out here?” she mused. “And can you even get an Internet signal?”
“Satellite,” Birk answered and hooked a thumb in Kotori’s direction. “He may look like a muscle head, but he manages a lot of his operations from here. He has a manager for day-to-day tasks and oversees from a distance.”
She whistled. “Of course, he’s not much of a city man.”
Kotori snatched her into his arms as if he would punish her for her criticism, but he tipped her chin up and kissed her roughly. Shiya parted her lips, inviting his tongue into her mouth, and she moaned, pressing closer to him. Birk came up behind and spooned her ass. Her pussy clenched in excitement.
Birk reached around to stroke it, but she covered his hand and broke away from the two of them.
“I’m not getting anything done if you two don’t stop.” She dragged a hand over her mouth, but missed Kotori’s lips. Her gaze met Birk’s when she turned. His obvious desire heated her skin, and she had to fight not to jump into his arms. Instead, she sat down at the nearest computer terminal and typed in the log-in and password Kotori gave her.
Fingers flying over the keys, she familiarized herself with Kotori’s computer and then logged on to the Internet. She found the site that would give her remote access to her family’s database and held her breath. The password was accepted, and she sighed in relief. Without a single qualm, she coded the system to delete eighty percent of the data. Afterward, she did a line-by-line search for anything they had on Alaska shifters and trashed it.
When her feet began to bother her, she winced and leaned away from the computer. She didn’t have a chance to complain before Birk had dropped to his knees and begun removing her boots. Kotori, who had disappeared from the cabin, came in carrying a basin. The steam rising from it told her the water it held was hot. Kotori stooped beside Birk and placed the basin on the floor. He spun her chair so her feet were within his reach, and gently, he began to wash her feet with a warm, wet cloth.
Shiya leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes. A few moments later, something nudged her arm, and she looked up to find Birk had brought her cocoa. “I can’t believe you two. Thank you.”
She took the mug and sipped the hot liquid. Warmth stole over her body. When Kotori brought the temperature of her feet to a safe level, he placed them to soak in the water, and she couldn’t help the moan that escaped her lips.
“If you do that, baby . . .” Birk began. Kotori only answered her moan with one of his own.
She grinned at them. “Just a little more. I have to tie up loose ends and send my family a message. I know how to cover myself so they can’t trace it, so you don’t have to worry about that.” Neither man appeared to get what she was talking about, and didn’t care. She laughed and moved the cordless keyboard to her lap to finish up her work. She would miss working for them, but she could no longer do it in good conscience. She had no intention of allowing them to kill shifters, so she attacked the backup systems, all that she’d set up herself.
With a few more taps, she sent off the message, including personal correspondence to Shae.
I’m sorry, sis, but this is what I feel I have to do. I’m not coming back. You were right. I love Birk and Kotori, and as long as they want me with them, this is where I will be. You know, as a Keith, I will protect my own. I will stand in the family’s way of ever hurting them. Convince them, please, Shae. Convince them to pull out of Alaska and to never return. Know that I love you and Sakura and Dad. I even love that fool Kasen. This is my life to choose. Good-bye.
She double-checked her entry points and covered her tracks. Then she logged out of the system and off of the computer. When she put the keyboard up and turned to Birk and Kotori, she took them in—their handsome faces, their sexy builds, and most of all their gentle care of her.
She’d thought she loved Joe at one point, and when this first began, maybe she still did, but not now. Not when she felt consumed by the emotions she had for these two men.
Yeah, they were men. Real men who loved her and wanted to be with her. She sensed it and saw it in everything they did. Nothing came before her. Kotori had even called in his family to help save her. He’d exposed the existence of the other shifters on her behalf. She would never forget that or walk away knowing what he gave up for her.
Birk grabbed the towel that Kotori had brought in slung over his arm, and he used it to dry her feet before helping her to stand. They faced her, and she entwined her fingers with theirs, one hand joined with each. They leaned down and nuzzled her cheeks, their lips soft as they kissed their way to her throat. She trembled with pleasure, but moved back a little so she could speak. They watched her, interest in their gazes, paired with hunger. She wouldn’t deny them for much longer.
“I love you two so much. I never thought I could feel this way. Definitely not for two men at the same time, and yet, it feels right.”
Birk squeezed the hand he still held. “I love you, Shiya. You are my mate, and I was willing to give you up because I thought it was best for you. When you chose to stay with us, I couldn’t deny myself again. I admit it. I’m selfish. I want you. So you better be ready for us.”
“Oh, I’m ready.” She raised an eyebrow and grinned.
Kotori grunted. “That’s enough talking. I want you in my bed.”
“Yes, sir!” The playful salute went wrong when Kotori’s last bit of patience snapped, and he lifted her and thumped her down on the only bare spot of the desk and tore her jacket open. She looked down at the zipper bent beyond repair. “Well that’s ruined.”
Kotori followed by shoving her blouse and sweater up and ripping her bra to shreds. Her breasts filled his palms, and he bent his head to lick the pebbled nipples. Shiya moaned in ecstasy. She tangled her fingers in his hair and brought his head closer as she arched into his touch. When he reached between them to unbutton her pants and thrust a hand into the waistband, she didn’t stop him. White-hot pleasure radiated her entire body when his fingers sank into her wet pussy. She humped his hand, wanting more. Even while she was exhausted, she needed to feel him inside of her.
