Nick settled on his knees behind them while Gavin and Lauren had turned on their sides, with Gavin spooned behind Lauren, holding her as if she were a comfort object — like a child might hold a favorite blanket.
Nick went to the restroom, cleaned himself with a washcloth, and then wet two more and took them to the bedroom to clean the other two up. Lauren opened her legs and let him clean her, but Gavin took the washcloth and cleaned himself before taking Lauren’s from her and tossing both on the floor.
“Get in bed with us, Nick.”
“I accepted your orders in how to fuck you, but don’t get used to ordering me around.”
“Of course. Please climb onto the bed with us, dear Rex.”
Lauren snuggled her butt against Gavin again and muttered, “Get in the fucking bed, cantankerous cat.”
Nick had to decide whether to spoon behind Gavin, or to lie in front of Lauren, and he decided the vampire would want them to focus on Lauren now. He’d been fucked in the ass before, after all, and tonight was a whole bunch of firsts for their girl.
Once he was in place, his arm over her, his hand resting on Gavin, Lauren asked, “Did ya’ll feel the magic?”
Nick had, but he wasn’t sure he wanted to talk about it. He needed to work through what he’d felt before he could share, but the vampire clearly didn’t feel the same, because he said, “We became a unit through you — my energy mixing with Nick’s inside you and spilling into the room, spilling intous. I felt the triad energy with you in the middle, and then again with me in the middle, and I’m certain our lion did as well. If we choose to, we can form a metaphysical bond that will up all our power levels exponentially. If we do it on purpose, we’ll need the Amakhosi’s permission. If it happens on accident, we’ll have to hope and pray it doesn’t make Nick more powerful than his king.”
“It won’t,” Nick told them. “I sensed the possibilities as well. If Iwantedto be Amakhosi, it might, but so long as I funnel my excess energy to him, so it strengthens him as well, the balance won’t be upset. We should still get his permission before we take that step, if we choose to.”
“Please don’t harsh my bliss with supernatural politics just yet,” Lauren said from between them, and Nick let his eyes drift closed. His energy was the direct opposite of Gavin’s, almost like the two sides of a strong magnet. Lauren’s energy was somehow neutral, between them, and the three together fit like some long-lost puzzle.
He’d wanted Lauren in his life as more than a friend since he was nineteen years old, and now he had her. He’d have never believed he could be happy sharing her, and he probably couldn’t have, but he wasn’t sharing her. No, he was a lucky bastard with two people he loved in his life. He wasn’t sharing anything or anyone — he was part of a threesome, where everyone loved each other.

Home.
Lauren had wanted to set down roots and find a place she could call home, and this was it. Not this room, but the casino, the underground parts as well as the penthouse.
Or anywhere with her two men. Her vampire and her lion. If she was to be long-lived, they would have many homes in many cities, but for now,thiswas home.
The orphan who’d grown up without a family now had so many people in her life who loved her.
Not only her two men, but her mother, Cora, Kendra, Nathan, Mordecai, Aaron, and Sophia. A home of her own here in Vegas, on top of her other home. Homewood. An extended family, a place to ground herself. A place to go for holidays and special occasions. All the things she wished she had when she’d been an orphan.
Only one thing was missing, and she felt in her heart she was ready.
And so, she told her men, while she had them both at hand.
“I want a puppy.”

Gavin held his two lovers until they were both fast asleep, and then he oh-so-slowly extricated himself from the bed. He’d had this room put together so they’d have a place in the underground to sleep — whether for security reasons or because it was close and everyone was horny, as had been the case tonight. He moved both of their phones into the room, along with robes. The ensuite bathroom already had their preferred toiletries, so they could shower down here if they wished, when they woke.
Meanwhile, he had six hours until dawn, an empire to oversee, and a formerly-alpha werewolf to torture.
The first order of business was to telepath Queenie to research breeders in the area with Newf or Newf-mixed puppies. If he had his preference, they’d find a Newf mix — enough like Smokey to have a similar personality, but not quite so big. The final decision would be Lauren’s, however.
He had a secure text from Kendric, thanking him for returning Dante to them well-punished while avoiding activities that would’ve left lifetime scars on his body or psyche.
You’re most welcome,Gavin texted back.He was a pleasure to play with. I assume he found himself well-fucked once he was returned?
Not at all. Nothing he might enjoy, not for at least three months. However, I was in the mood to play with a tawse, and Becca is always up for playing with her knives, so he still brought us some joy.
I’ve heard stories of Becca and her knives. I don’t suppose she’s up for giving me a demonstration on the former Alpha werewolf?
Less than a minute later, Becca texted him with,When and where?
