With my pack alpha’s order, I left Freya alone with those two moon-eyed fools as I stepped outside to make the call. A light, dangerous feeling expanded in my stomach, making me feel… giddy? Like a child opening new gifts.

When it came to Freya, we were all done for. This was the perfect chance to find my own way of bringing joy to her. And maybe, if we were all lucky, we could end the night with the kind of sexy punishment she enjoyed so much…

Chapter 11

Freya

I spent the night curled up with Flint, but of course, the three of them rotated who stood watch. So in the middle of the night, I woke up cold and alone in bed after Flint left. When I rolled over, I was surprised to find a massive alpha wolf asleep on the floor of my room. His eyes cracked open, glinting gold in the moonlight streaming in from the window.

From the color of his fur — white on his legs and muzzle fading into gray along his head and upper back — I knew the wolf must be Gage. It occurred to me that Heath must be asleep in the other bed, and Gage had come in here rather than bed down with his packmate. My lips fell open, and I almost told Gage he didn’t have to sleep on the floor, that surely we could share the bed.

The wolf and I stared at one another, neither making a sound. Even though Flint had essentially given me permission to be with Gage and Heath, too, inviting Gage into my bed still felt… off. I couldn’t imagine the powerfully built man peacefully curled up in sleep beside me at all. If I invited him to bed, I knew exactly what would happen — neither one of us would get any sleep.

And I wasn’t sure I was ready to admit how much I wanted anyone aside from my mate. At some point, I must have dozed off. By the time I woke up, Flint was back in bed beside me like he’d never left, letting someone else stand watch.

Later that day, Gage found me sitting bored out of my mind in front of the TV, mindlessly clicking through channels.

“We’re taking you with us to Dark Potion. We have a contact we’re meeting there.”

He said that last bit defensively, as though that explained why they would bring me. I raised my eyebrow just as Heath came in the room.

“And it’s the perfect chance to wear this.”

He held the dress he’d bought me, and his playful expression almost had me fooled into thinking this was the Heath I’d started to fall for. Until his next words.

“It’ll show everyone you belong to us.”

Not with us.Tous.

Gage motioned me to go ahead. “We’re leaving soon.”

I sighed and got up, taking the dress from Heath. Trying to brush past him to the bathroom, I instead ran straight into his muscular body when he refused to move.

“What’s your problem?” I glared up at him, refusing to avert my eyes.

He shrugged. “You can get dressed here.”

I glanced over my shoulder at Gage, but his impassive expression told me I’d get no help from him. Suddenly feeling caught between two predators, I glanced over Heath’s shoulder, wondering if Flint was around.

“Go on, princess, we haven’t got all night,” Gage said from behind me.

I grumbled but pulled off my shirt, watching Heath’s eyes light up.

“No bra for this dress, hottie,” Heath reminded me.

“Obviously,” I said, considering how far down the back dipped.

“You can lose the panties too,” he added, holding out the lacy pair.

I snarled at him, refusing to relinquish the panties. Then I pulled the dress on, not doing anything to make it look sexy as I did so. But Heath’s eyes devoured me anyway, and I could feel the weight of Gage’s stare as well. I half expected them to tear the dress right back off of me, but Heath grabbed my wrist and deposited the lacy panties into my hand.

I rolled my eyes when he refused to move. Without lifting the hem of the dress, I tugged down the panties I was wearing, letting them fall to the floor, then pulled the lacy ones on, letting the dress keep me covered. Still, when I straightened back up, I could feel both men’s eyes ravenously raking over my body.

And those barely there lace panties? Yeah, they’d only stayed dry for a split second. All the air seemed to disappear from the room, and I found myself holding my breath, waiting to see what they would do.

Heath’s expression softened, and his lips parted. His big hands came down gently on my shoulders, and he stepped in until his lips ghosted across the outer shell of my ear.

“Tonight is all about you, little wolf. We hope to snag a job, but never doubt that we’re doing this all for you.”
