But Mike had kept a perfect aura of control.
He had to be suffering these same side effects. He was as mated to Olivia as Chase was, and yet the guy looked like he slept soundly every night.
He must have the sort of willpower that could make Superman look like a Junior Boy Scout. And that made Chase realize what a pathetic worm he must look like in Olivia’s presence.
The shame hit him as he followed after them. Olivia was likely nervous about the idea of being shared by two men, but now he realized she must also be disappointed that one of them had to be a guy like Chase.
Especially when Mike was so clearly the winning candidate.
The stupid, overachieving, motherfucker.
When Chase entered the room, he stopped short at the sight of Olivia’s apprehensive smile and noticed that Mike’s cool, calm, and aloof expression was long gone.
It had been replaced by something that looked a little more like cartoon, bug-eyed, shock.
Chase almost reached for his weapon before he realized there was no threat waiting for them. “What? What are you looking at?”
Chase stepped through the entry and heard Olivia let out a little groan of embarrassment. He took in the large suite, getting an eyeful of what had Mike so out of character.
Chase’s brows lifted, and he had had to bite down and crush the intense urge to laugh. A snort squeezed out of his closed throat, and Olivia hung her head in shame.
“I’m sorry, I know this isn’t the best way to accept company. Maybe we should go to Mike’s.” Olivia rushed around, picking up stray bras and panties from the floor and over the back of the sofa, and then tossing them into the basket before kicking it behind the kitchen island.
Which didn’t hide the sink full of dishes in the tiny kitchenette or the old Chinese take-out containers on the counter and the coffee table.
“I’m kind of a messy person, but not all the time!” she quickly added. “This is just…well, things are kind of haphazard right now and—”
“You don’t need to explain,” Chase said, suddenly so much more in love with her.
He looked at Mike, then took great pleasure in closing the man’s mouth with a tap from his fingers.
“We’ve all been working hard. Stuff gets tossed around. I understand.”
Olivia bit her lower lip, glancing around, as though just seeing the place for the first time.
Chase understood that, too. The feeling of looking at his own damned mess with new eyes whenever he had someone he was trying to impress over at his place. He walked right up to her, curling his arms around her waist, putting her attention back on him, where it belonged.
“You and I are messy little soul mates. Mike can clean up after us.”
“What?” Chase ignored Mike, leaning down, taking Olivia’s mouth with his own, finally kissing her good and hard. The way he’d wanted to for ten damned days.
ChapterSeven
Something within Olivia awakened when Chase’s mouth touched hers. She’d known that being mated was a force bigger than both of them, or all three of them, but she hadn’t known how it would work. There was jealousy, and there was the fact that none of them had experience being in a relationship with more than two people.
She’d been glad to put her focus almost entirely on her work, on helping the AILE find out who was killing those unlucky swimmers and shifters in Scotland waters.
But it wasn’t because she didn’t want them. It was because she’d been afraid. Afraid of feeling that rush of electricity, of feeling that desperate surge ofwantinghitting her when Chase kissed and touched her.
She’d been glad to push it down and ignore it. To try to ignore it, but now that his mouth was on hers, his hands sliding across her lower back and pulling her close to him, all she could feel was the intense heat of his body.
A heat of another kind pooled between her legs, her pussy flooding with warmth, and she knew she was done for.
Or so she thought.
Whatever she was feeling then, was nothing compared to the sensation multiplied by two.
Mike slid up behind Olivia, sandwiching her between the intense fire of both of their solid bodies. His mouth pressed down on the side of her throat, and a noise escaped her.
