As the second man pressed against me, his lips grazing the sensitive skin of my neck, I let out a low moan, my body arching into his touch.
My breath hitched as the pleasure went through my veins, both of their hands on my body, igniting sensations I hadn’t felt in years—or maybe ever. I was no longer thinking, just feeling. The heat between us swelled, growing more urgent with every touch, every kiss.
The second man’s fingers traced along the curve of my back while the first one pulled me tighter against him, his movements hard and insistent.
I felt lips on my hardened nipples, I almost screamed from the pleasure.
My heart pounded in my chest, my mind slipping further away from reality, giving in completely. They kissed me everywhere—lips, neck, chest.
There was nothing but them, nothing but the feeling of their hands, his hands on my clit, their lips, the heat of their bodies pressing into mine.
My mind was spinning, the alcohol still swirling in my veins, making everything feel surreal, like I was floating in a haze of pleasure.
I felt the second man move behind me, his chest pressing against my back as his hands slid down my sides, caressing my hips. The first man groaned softly against my lips, his fingers threading through my hair as he kissed me deeply. The two of them worked in unison, every movement pushing me closer to the edge.
“More,” I breathed, my voice barely audible over the sound of my own heartbeat. I didn’t care anymore. I just needed this. I needed them.
Their touch grew more intense, more demanding, the heat between us spiraling out of control. The first man’s hands tightened on my waist, pulling me into him as he moved with a slow, deliberate rhythm, each thrust sending jolts of pleasure through me. The second man’s fingers traced along my spine, his lips brushing my neck as he whispered something I couldn’t quite understand.
“Ahhh!!” I screamed as I felt the second man entered into me from behind.
I moaned, my body responding to them in ways I couldn’t control, couldn’t comprehend. My senses were overwhelmed, the pleasure too much, too consuming. I could barely think, barely breathe. Everything was a blur of heat and need, and I didn’t want it to stop.
“Faster…oh faster!!”
I was lost in them—lost in the way they made me feel like I was the only thing that mattered. My body trembled, the pleasure building to a breaking point, my mind spinning further and further away from reality.
And then it happened. I shattered, my body convulsing as the pleasure ripped through me, leaving me gasping for air, clinging to them for support. They didn’t stop, their movements relentless as they chased their own release, their bodies hot and insistent against mine.
I felt them both tense, their grip on me tightening as they reached their peak, and for a moment, everything was perfect. The world around us faded, and there was nothing but the heat, the pleasure, the feeling of being utterly consumed by them.
But then, as quickly as it had started, it was over.
Or so I thought.
****
I could hear my heartbeat in my ears, loud and fast, the only sound in the otherwise silent room.
I felt cold now, the warmth of their bodies gone, replaced by the chill of the early morning air seeping through the open window. I blinked again, trying to clear the fog from my mind as I looked around the room.
It was empty.
I frowned, confusion settling in as I sat up, pulling the sheets around me. My heart raced as I scanned the room, my eyes searching for any sign of them. But there was nothing. No clothes, no shoes, no trace of anyone ever being here but me.
For a moment, I wondered if it had all been a dream. The alcohol had made everything so blurry, so confusing. I could barely remember how I’d gotten here in the first place. Had it all been in my head?
Did I really have sex in public with two men?
I pressed a hand to my forehead, my thoughts spinning, disjointed. I sat there, wrapped in the sheets, trying to piece together what had happened.
The night had felt surreal
I could remember the bar, the drinks, the man with the dark eyes who’d pulled me in so easily. But after that? Everything was foggy, like a dream I was already forgetting.
I looked down at myself, naked. Clothes folded on the bedside table. Breakfast also set.
So it wasn't a dream then.
Yet, there was no sign of anyone else. No sign of the men who had been with me, their bodies pressed against mine only moments ago.
I shook my head, trying to clear the confusion, but it only made the room spin. I felt dizzy, disoriented, as if I was still caught in the tail end of a dream. My throat was dry, my head pounding, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t right.
Had I imagined it? The way their hands had touched me, the way they’d kissed me? It had all felt so real, so vivid, but now… now it felt distant, like a memory slipping through my fingers.
I pushed myself up from the bed, my legs unsteady as I stumbled toward the bathroom. The harsh light of the vanity mirror made me wince, but I forced myself to look. My reflection stared back at me, my hair a tangled mess, my skin flushed. I could see the faint marks on my neck, hickeys all over my body, but it did little to reassure me.
I ran a hand through my hair, trying to steady my breathing as I leaned against the sink. I felt sick.
I closed my eyes, trying to piece together the fragments of the night, but it was like trying to hold onto water. The more I tried to remember, the more it slipped away.
I turned the faucet on, splashing cold water on my face, hoping it would help clear my mind. But when I opened my eyes again, I still felt the same—empty, confused, and more alone than ever.
The hotel room was silent, the bed behind me untouched except for where I’d lain.
I glanced around the room one last time, my heart heavy as I tried to shake t
he feeling that something was missing. But there was no one there.
Just me.
Seven years later…The early morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a soft, golden glow over the small room. I stretched, careful not to wake the two small bodies nestled on either side of me. My twins, Finn and Luna, slept soundly, their little faces peaceful in the morning light. Watching them, I couldn’t help but smile. Life was different now. It had to be. After that night, the night I left everything behind, I promised myself that I would never look back.And for seven years, I hadn’t. I had built a life here, in the Lycan territory, far away from the pain of the past. I was no longer the broken woman who had stumbled into that motel room. I was Briar Ashford—mother, therapist, survivor.“Mama,” a small voice murmured, breaking into my thoughts. Luna, her big brown eyes still heavy with sleep, reached out to me. Her tiny hand clutched at my shirt as she blinked up at me with a smile that could light up the darkest day.“Morning, sweetheart,” I whispered, pressi
What do you do when three hot men appear at your doorstep saying they are the father of your kids?I would slam the door.And that’s exactly what I did. Or at least, I tried to.But Kylan’s hand shot out, stopping the door just as it was about to close. “Briar, wait—”I glared at him, shoving the door harder against his hand. “Wait? For what? For you to come in here and spew some more ridiculous claims? Because, trust me, I’ve heard enough. You guys are bloody psychos or some pranksters and trust me it's a Monday morning, I could hardly care.”Kai chuckled, his face filled with amusement that seemed to tick me off. “We’re not here to cause trouble, Briar. We just want to talk.”“Talk?” I repeated, my voice dripping with sarcasm. “There’s nothing to talk about. What you’re saying is impossible. Scientifically impossible! You are not the father of my children.”Kieran, the chiseled jaw Adonis, who had been silent up until now, smirked, “Impossible is our speciality, sweetheart.”I roll
My heart dropped into my stomach as I recognized them—the three men who had shown up at my doorstep just hours earlier. Now, standing in front of the entire town, they looked even more powerful than before. Their presence seemed to command the crowd without a single word, and people instinctively parted, allowing them to walk through with ease.Rachel’s grip tightened on my arm, her excitement palpable. “Briar, that’s them! The Lycan kings! Oh my god, they’re even hotter in person!”I barely registered her words, my mind reeling as I stared at the brothers. They were…the Lycan kings…the…triplets born on a leap year. Who had rules for years. I had called them a scammer…I couldn't believe it. Kai was the first to spot me, his intense gaze locking onto mine from across the crowd. My stomach flipped. Kylan and Kieran quickly followed his line of sight, and all three of them began walking straight toward me.Panic surged through me, and I instinctively took a step back. I didn’t want to
I barely noticed the murmurs of the crowd as I dragged Finn and Luna away, their small hands clutched tightly in mine. My heart pounded in my ears, drowning out the sounds of the bustling fair. All I could focus on was getting as far from those men as possible.Rachel rushed after me, calling out, “Briar, wait up!”I ignored her, my mind spinning. How did they know? How could they be so sure? No, they were wrong. They had to be.It wasn't possible that I had slept with them and have their children. But everything I was thinking was against logic. Yes it was possible. I had slept with multiple men that night. But I was scared to admit it. By the time we reached the car, I was shaking. I helped Finn and Luna into the backseat, my hands trembling as I buckled them in.Rachel finally caught up, her face flushed from running. “What the hell just happened?” she asked, breathless and wide-eyed. “The Lycan kings and you…”I slammed the car door shut and whirled on her, my voice sharp. “I do
I was stunned when Kai grabbed my wrist, pulling me toward the back of the clinic without so much as an explanation. My head spun, caught between the chaos around us and the raw panic rising inside me. I dug my heels in, trying to yank my hand free, but his grip was like iron."Let go!" I shouted, my voice drowned out by the blaring fire alarm and the frantic voices of people rushing past us.“We need to get you out of here,” Kai growled over his shoulder, as if my safety was the only thing that mattered. As if my children weren’t at home, unprotected, and completely unaware of what was happening.“No! I need to get to Finn and Luna!” I screamed, twisting against his hold, but he didn’t slow down. My pulse was hammering, and I felt like I could explode from the panic.“They’re safe,” Kai snapped, his voice rough with impatience. “There are guards at your house.”“I don’t trust your guards!” I shot back, “I don't know you and I don't trust you. I’m going to them, and you can’t stop me
Kieran’s jaw tightened, his gaze fixed on the horde gathering outside. “They’re not here because of us,” he said, his tone steely. “Vampires don’t hunt on a whim, especially not in these numbers. They’re organized. This was planned.”Kai nodded, his face dark as he turned back to me. “They’re after something specific.”“Or someone,” Kylan added quietly, grimacing as he straightened, though the strain was clear on his face.I glared at them, not buying their cool explanations. “So they show up at the clinic the moment you’re there, and then suddenly my house is crawling with vampires?” My voice was sharper than I intended, but I didn’t care. “Explain that.”Kai held my gaze, his expression like stone. “If we knew, we’d be handling it.”“Lycans draw vampires like moth. The ones here aren't important. Just wolves. So when a Lycan king or kings comes into town they follow.” “Then come with us to our home. And we would not have to worry about this.” Kieran added with a goofy smile. He wa
"Briar… I am sorry. It's just that it’s late, and it’s risky,” Kai said, his voice softening but still edged with his usual impatience.I squinted at him, feeling the frustration bubble up. “Who gave you the right?” I asked, my voice sharp. He might be a king in his world, but here, in my house, his authority meant nothing to me.Kai’s eyes flicked over me, a strange expression passing over his face, but he didn’t say anything. For a split second, I thought he might actually consider what I was saying. But no—he only sighed and crossed his arms, like he couldn’t understand why I was even questioning him."Look," he said, his tone still laced with authority. "I get it—you want to help, but you don’t have our strength, Briar. And there’s still danger out there. I’m just trying to keep you safe."I let out a bitter laugh. “Safe? You don’t even know me. And I don’t need your permission. I’m not part of your pack.”Kai’s jaw tightened, and he dropped his gaze. “Fine,” he muttered. “I just
We all stared at the three handsome Lycan kings, waiting for them to answer.Were they going to reveal that they were here for my kids?I prayed they wouldn’t. This was a small town, and Finn and Luna already faced enough shame at school for not having fathers. I had told them—and everyone else—that their father was dead. If the truth came out, it wouldn’t just be gossip. It would ruin us. People would see me as worse than a joke. Worse, my kids might be ostracized for my mistakes.Having three fathers. Kai’s piercing blue eyes swept over the crowd, his jaw set as though deciding how much to reveal. Kieran, the calm one, exchanged a glance with his brother, his red hair catching the dim light. Kylan, the most reckless of the three, smirked, like he was enjoying this standoff.“Well?” Elder Nilo prompted, his tone sharper now. “You haven’t answered the question. Why are you here?”Kai stepped forward, his voice steady but unyielding. “We are the kings. We go wherever we like but
“I messed up,” Kylan said, groaning and running his hand over his face.“You think?” Kieran said, standing up, his silver eyes sharp with irritation.Kylan growled, his hands clenching into fists. “You… How dare you bring up Kayla?”“Because you’re trying to do the same thing to Briar,” Kieran shot back, his voice rising. “You don’t connect with her. You don’t listen. And now you’re throwing yourself at her like that’s going to fix anything. Kayla is six feet under because you couldn’t hold yourself together, and now—”“You bastard!” Kylan roared, his voice breaking as he swung at Kieran.The punch landed hard against Kieran’s jaw, the sound of it echoing in the room. Kieran staggered back, but his silver eyes flashed with fury as he wiped at his lip, which was already swelling.“You want to do this?” Kieran growled, his voice deeper now as his wolf pushed to the surface.“You brought her up,” Kylan spat, his fists clenched tightly at his sides. “You know how she was to me. You know
There was a weird thing between triplets. The called it ‘the tingling.’When one was going through a single vulnerability, they all felt it.And Kylan felt it from Kai. This wasn’t the first time. Or the second.Anytime Kai was with Briar, he softened. His tone changed, his walls cracked just enough for it to be noticeable. It was like a gravitational pull existed between them, and Kylan, no matter how hard he tried, felt like an outsider.A goddamn third wheel. It stung more because, out of all of them, Kylan had been the first to meet Briar. He’d noticed her spark, her fire, before either of his brothers had the chance. And yet, it was always Kai who seemed to draw her attention.Kylan stood in the living room, arms crossed, watching Kieran gently arranging blocks on the coffee table.“Aren’t you jealous?” Kylan asked suddenly, his voice tight. “Of the fact that Kai is the closest to her?”Kieran sighed without looking up. “I’ve known since the day Mother spat us out of her womb
Kieran’s silver eyes softened as he leaned forward, resting his forearms on his knees. “Briar, no one’s blaming you. We’re just trying to figure this out, and you don’t have to do it alone. We’re here to help.”His words made my throat tighten, but I couldn’t bring myself to speak. I looked away, blinking rapidly to stop the tears that threatened to spill.Kylan, sensing the shift in my mood, stepped closer to the railing and leaned against it casually, his blue eyes glinting with something lighter, softer. “Okay, okay,” he said, holding up his hands. “Let’s hit pause on the serious doom-and-gloom talk for a second. Briar, when’s the last time you took a break? Like, a real break?”I frowned, glancing at him. “A break? Kylan, my life is falling apart. Now’s not exactly the time for… a spa day.”He grinned, a playful edge to his voice. “Hey, I didn’t say spa day—though now that you mention it, we could use some hot towels and massages. My shoulders are killing me.”Despite myself, a sm
I called the three men in for a talk after I had made sure the kids were asleep.We were at the balcony of their rather extravagant mansion. The moonlight reflected off the glass railings, casting a faint glow over the space. The air was cold, filled with the faint scent of cedarwood that seemed to cling to this place.Kieran sat holding a glass of whiskey, his long legs sprawled out casually in front of him. His fiery red hair, tousled and catching the light, framed his sharp jawline in a way that was maddeningly attractive.His shirt was unbuttoned at the collar, revealing just enough of his toned chest to make it impossible not to notice.Kylan leaned against the balcony railing, his black hair tied back in a loose knot. The sleeves of his shirt were rolled up, revealing his muscular forearms, and his blue eyes gleamed mischievously under the faint light. He looked like he belonged on the cover of a magazine, his easy smirk always hovering on the edge of teasing.And then there
Briar’s POVI haven't smoked in years.Haven't touched the goddamn thing, but since my life took a drastic change, I brought out the cigarette I’d just bought, my fingers shaking as I pulled it from the pack. I stared at it for a long moment, my breathing uneven.The weight of everything, the clinic, the elders, my kids, the Lycan Kings, was pressing on me, suffocating me from the inside out. I leaned forward against the kitchen island, tears stinging the back of my eyes.I placed the unlit cigarette between my lips, not even bothering to grab a lighter. It wasn’t about smoking, not really. It was about holding something, distracting myself from the cracks forming in every part of my life.My hands trembled as I placed the cigarette back down on the island, burying my face in my hands. My shoulders shook as the tears came, quiet at first, then harder, until I was sobbing uncontrollably into the silence of my room.I didn’t even hear the door open.“Mommy?”My head snapped up, my face
I walked into my office, shutting the door behind me with a heavy sigh. The air felt stifling, every corner of the room reminding me of the work I’d poured my heart into. The weight of the elders’ words pressed on my chest, threatening to choke me.I dropped into my chair, leaning back and closing my eyes, wishing for just a moment of reprieve. But the sound of a knock pulled me out of my spiraling thoughts.“Come in,” I called, my voice weary.The door opened, and Sarah stepped in. Her usually bright demeanor was replaced with a rare frown, her arms crossed tightly over her chest.“Are you okay?” she asked, though her tone was clipped, her concern edged with frustration.I nodded, rubbing my temples. “I’m fine, Sarah.”“No, you’re not,” she said bluntly, stepping closer to my desk. “And frankly, neither am I. What’s going on, Dr. Ashford? The elders have been breathing down our necks, and now everyone’s talking about patients dying after therapy. This isn’t normal.”I looked at her,
Something was wrong with me.I… I woke up with scales all over my two forearms.They were faint, almost translucent in the morning light, but they were there. Smooth, glistening, and completely unnatural. Yesterday… yesterday I had been fighting with my own self, my own mind, and now this?Yesterday, the voices had been louder, more persistent. They weren’t my children’s or anyone I recognized, but they were real. Whispers that slithered through my thoughts, hissing things I didn’t want to hear, things I couldn’t understand. The louder they got, the harder it became to breathe, to think, to function.And then there was the other part—the part of me that wasn’t me.It was like another presence inside me, pushing, clawing, begging to break free. My body had trembled under the weight of it, my vision had blurred, and my skin had burned like fire. I had locked myself in the bathroom, splashing water on my face to keep whatever it was at bay.But this morning, the scales? They felt like pr
You should have claimed her.Kai’s wolf growled in his mind, the deep, angry tone sending a jolt through him. He clenched his fists, pacing the length of the hallway outside the kitchen. His arousal from earlier had long since subsided, but his body still thrummed with residual tension, and his thoughts were consumed by Briar.The way her skin had looked under the dim light, the scent of her arousal clinging to the air—it was maddening.“Shut up,” Kai snapped internally, though his wolf didn’t back down.You let her slip away. She’s ours, and you just walked out. Weak.Kai growled low in his throat, shaking his head. His wolf was relentless, clawing at the edges of his control, but he refused to let it take over. He was already struggling to keep himself in check after what had happened in Briar’s room.As he turned the corner into the kitchen, he nearly bumped into Kylan, who was leaning casually against the counter, a smirk plastered across his face.“Well, well,” Kylan drawled, his
He wanted me. I did not need to be told twice that he wanted me. From just those few moments he had seen me, he was already aroused. I watched as his nose flared slightly, a quick, subtle inhale that he clearly tried to suppress. He didn’t think I’d notice, but I did. He could smell me, my arousal hanging faintly in the air between us. Knowing he wanted me had spiked something within me. Something that I had kept buried a long time ago after my affair with them. No one have ever looked at me the way Kai was now. As if I was the only girl he wanted. As if he could strip me with his eyes. I gulped. His eyes moved up to meet mine, and I swore they darkened. “Briar…” His voice was low, husky, filled with something raw. The sound of my name rolling off his tongue made my breath hitch. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed, the muscles in his throat tightening. My gaze caught on the movement, and I felt heat rising to my cheeks, my heart racing as his presence
