Ebony ran a short way. It wasn’t enough to run as a human. She shed her clothes and shifted. Leaving her satellite phone with her clothes, she ran on four feet. Just ran for a few minutes. When she’d calmed enough, Ebony slowed and noticed her surroundings. She picked up scents and thought about what happened. Should she send them packing? They were the first team she received in four years. If she fired them without a reason, she might not get another team for a long time. Or she might not have a job. It wasn’t like she couldn’t tell Alan about them being shifters. This wasn’t pack lands. Even if she felt territorial about it.
Maybe she was tired. She’d not slept well. She caught their scent in her nose and it struck the right cords to give her some kinky dreams. She’d dreamt of several wolves in different scenarios taking her. Some they were wolves and others faceless humans taking her willing body until she woke up sweating as her body throbbed from her climax. There was no way she’d put herself between these males. There was no way she’d tell them she wanted them together and separately.
They were her coworkers and just because they were bonded didn’t mean they wanted her. She could have imagined their interest. Mentioning anything was too embarrassing. They were bonded and she wouldn’t cause any jealousy between them. She wouldn’t be a home wrecker.
A scent caught her attention. A human scent. One that didn’t belong in this area. Moments later, she came across an old campsite. It was abandoned now, but in the last few days, it was actively used. She found a shotgun shell. A large one. This wasn’t good. Ebony left the shell where it was, hoping it might have a fingerprint or other evidence.
The guys wouldn’t leave a campsite that smells like humans. This must be what Benedict spoke of. Nothing good would come from these humans, being here.
This wouldn’t be a research group because they would inform Ebony of their presence, where they were supposed to be, and what they were working on. Most of the time, she’d guide them in and out for their safety.
She needed her camera and evidence bags. But first she needed to ensure the poachers weren’t still nearby.
She didn’t find any new or fresh scents. So Ebony left the area to return to her clothes. That camp was far too close to Tower Twelve for her liking. Now she was happy for the three men with her now.
Ebony walked back to the station and climbed the tower ladder. She wasn’t in a rush, but when she reached the top, she heard noises on the other side.
She couldn’t believe it. They were… No, they couldn’t. Those noises were so distinctive. Someone was having sex. Ebony’s curiosity got the better, and she opened the trapdoor and looked around. There they were, all three half naked. Writhing and straining. Franco’s face was bobbing in Peter’s lap. Peter was kissing Benedict with such abandoned. Benedict was thrusting into Franco’s bum so hard. She felt jealous of each man. As she watched, Franco climaxed. Shots of his completion hitting the floor. Gods, she wanted him doing that inside her. The other two men also found their happy ending. It was beautiful to watch in the display of sheer masculinity. Breathing roughly, she closed the trapdoor and made her way down the ladder.
There was her answer. None of them were interested in her. They all had what they wanted. She was a third wheel, so to speak. But she felt her own desire rise as she watched them, and now she needed her own relief. Ebony made her way into the cabin and into her room. From the small nightstand, she took a purple vibrator from it. She needed relief fast. Now way would she let them find her relieving her desires.
With her pants and panties around her ankle. Her thighs fell open, and she set about giving herself an orgasm that would settle her down for a while.
Laying there, their mingled scent filled her nose and pushed her passions higher. Her orgasm was sudden and violent. Her body shook with each wave.
Yes! Gods, that’s what she needed. She fell back, letting her euphoria flood her body. If one of them walked in now, they’d find her naked from the waist down and her vibrator still thrumming deep in her core. She massaged her breasts and rode her feelings.
After a while, she straightened herself up and hide her vibrator again. Well, having a lover out here was a pipe dream at best. BOB would have to keep up his end of the bargain as long as her battery supply held out. That was depressing for her, but she was a realist. The men preferred each other.
She was an adult and could accept that, but it hurt her pride. But she wasn’t so self absorbed that she wasn’t asking, why me?
Ebony straighten up her room and was leaving the cabin when Benedict found her. He looked uncomfortable, and she thought they’d caught her watching them pleasure each other.
“I’d like to talk to you and apologize.”
Ebony swallowed her words and only said, “Oh, what’s that?”
“I’m sorry, but I was the one who entered the Tower a few days ago. I was curious about you and who you were. I didn’t mean to scare you. Can you forgive me?”
She signed. Now she was sorry for being a Peaking Tom. No, she wouldn’t embarrass them, but talking about how sexy they were together. Gods, her core was responding to her thoughts again. She was going to suffer for the next forty-two days. “I forgive you this time. Please don’t do it again.”
“I won’t.” He put his hand over his chest like he was pledging or promising never to do it again.
“Have you seen a camera? I think I found an old poacher camp and I want to photograph it. I guess it’s still up in the tower.”
Dinner that night, Ebony sat with her laptop, going over the pictures she took of the campsite. “Benedict, your discovery of the poachers. Do you know how many there might be that we’re dealing with? I can’t find anything at the camp that tells me definitively how many there are.” “I wish you’d taken one of us with you when you went back. As for numbers, I would hazard a guess of two to four, but I could be underestimating. You know how they work in big operations. With several camps and smaller groups.” Benedict said this while he ate. Peter was still at the stove retrieving seconds of a stew he made earlier that day. Franco was eating and listening. Clearly, they were staying out of this conversation for now. She was feeling if they commented she’d be placed in at a disadvantage. “They were long gone. I made sure of that before I came back for my camera.” “Still, if one of us was there, it would have been a second set of eyes to find more evidence.
Ebony lay asleep by the time Benedict went on shift. She was dreaming. Dreaming that, she got out of bed for a drink and as she returned to her bed; she found it occupied by three hunky wolves. Their bodies entwined provocatively, and Franco looked up at her and smiled. “What took you so long? Come join the party.” All three were naked, with a smooth skin over bands of muscle. Benedict’s hands were toying with Peter’s balls lazily and Franco lay back against the headboard toying with himself. “Come here. I want to taste you. Lie down right here.” He pointed to the bed before him. As if on autopilot, she moved to lie down. Somehow, she was naked when Peter parted her thighs for Franco and held them open. Benedict reached out to caress her breasts, teasing her nipples to hard peaks before his hot lips tasted them. Suckling them to swollen, needy things. As he did that, Franco’s face disappear between her thigh and then she felt him. Gods, she felt him. His tongue licking a
Ebony got back to sleep and awoke to her alarm, which was a rare occurrence. That meant she needed to get up and get herself going. She was running late. Then she remembered she wasn’t in the tower alone. There were three others about. Dang it. Three men who were probably still asleep, too. When she peaked into their room that the three were sleeping in, she found only Benedict asleep. It was now nine in the morning, late for her starting the day. He must have been asleep for only two or three hours. He needed more than that. So she left him sleeping and, once she was dressed for the day, Ebony went to the tower. Once she opened the trap door quietly as she dreaded interrupting another intimate moment. The smell of breakfast cooking hit her like a physical barrier. “Morning. I was just coming to get you for breakfast. You’ve got perfect timing.” Franco smiled down at her. Peter was at the table setting out breakfast. It seemed all so normal. Peter wa

Franco watched Benedict and Ebony return to the station. He knew as soon as he saw Benedict’s face what happened in the bush while were out. “Well, well, looks like Benedict didn’t wait for us to dip his wick and have a taste of our girl.” Peter turned from what he was doing to look at Franco. “What? You’re kidding.” “He’s got that just got laid look on his face.” “Let me see.” Peter took the binoculars from Franco and trained them of the two as they approached. “Well, he better not complain when we have some dessert tonight.” “Ooo... That sounds good. We can lay her out on the table, and he can watch us send her over the edge.” “It’s not a competition. She might be sore. You know how wild Benedict can be.” Peter wanted to know their mate in every way, but he wanted to take their time. He knew they were a lot to handle, and they could easily overwhelm a woman. “Maybe being gentle and slow with her, then? That has its own appeal,
Ebony desperately wanted to talk to her sisters. What was she going to do with three mates out here with humans around? Maybe she needed to talk to her mother? Could she even get a signal to call even one of them out here? So there she was with her satellite phone, looking for a signal by her bedroom window. There, she had one. Thank all that’s holy. She dialled her sister Sapphire. Not only was she also a wolf, she’d not exactly lived a traditional lifestyle. That was a story and a half, and Ebony was sure that it wasn’t over, yet, she was sure of that. With curses and other various magic things going on, it was a wonder the woman would talk to any of them. But now, with the binding spell off her and Ivory, they were exploring their special abilities. Gods, what was she going to tell the guys about her own abilities? She couldn’t use her abilities with them around without freaking them out. She’d lost several friends over the years doing her Doctor Dolittle
Peter sat there with his plate of food relatively untouched. He’d expected her to come up here and instantly want to know what he and Franco would like to do with her. Instead, she launched into her family, coming to see her about something weird in the woods, and they should disregard anything unusual about her family. “May I ask what you mean about unusual?” Franco asked, between shovelling large chunks of food into his mouth. He didn’t notice until an empty spoon reached his mouth that he’d finished. At least, someone was enjoying the food he’d made. “Well… Promise not to hate me? I’m a hybrid, actually. One of three born during a Strawberry Moon. I’m the oldest and born just minutes before the moon hit its zenith. Sapphire is the next, born during the zenith, and then there’s Ivory born minutes after the zenith. By the blank looks on your faces, you don’t know what that means. Okay, it’s a weird thing that happens… Well, once in a blue moon. Or a strawbe
Ebony left and the three men instantly regretted their reactions to her news. “Do we believe this? How would she show us proof she can do that?” “We either take her at face value and accept it. Or we don’t pursue this match? I say we believe her and with her family here. We can discuss it with them. See how they handle it?” “I say we all have our issues, and we’ll have to add them to the pot sooner or later for her to decide whether she’ll take on our issues. So, if she accepts us as we are. Wouldn’t we be hypocrites to face hers? I mean, crazy or not, she’s dealing with something.” “I think I’m going to find her.” Peter was sullen during most of the meal and most of the conversation. “Wish me luck.” He left and followed Ebony’s scent easily to find her by the small river sitting on a rock. She looked so alone. Even when a bit landed on her knee. She barely paid attention as it hopped and twittered at her. He watched silently as she sighed an
