Kane 

Slipping my shirt on, I tried not to worry about what had happened between the two of us. It was fate and I knew that, my beast knew that. 

I couldn’t help but worry about Sarah. Of how this would make her feel.

I looked back at Dom as he stepped out of the shower. Water droplets clinging to his tattooed skin, I wanted to take my time. Lick them off until he was begging me to take his cock into my mouth. Closing my eyes, I tried to fight down the arousal that was building. It was hard when I could feel how much he still wanted me. He wasn’t ready and I’d meant what I said earlier. I wanted to talk to Sarah to explain things to her.

She wasn’t going to understand, and I didn’t want her to take things wrong. I wouldn’t hurt her, but I could no sooner turn Dom away than I could her. I needed them, my dragon needed them.

“You okay?” His voice was gruff, I turned back to the mirror. Watching him as I toweled my hair dry.

“Yeah, just thinking about Sarah.”

“Is she,” he said, then stopped, his brows knitting together in a way that made him look cute. “Did she?” He stopped again, pressing his lips together.

“She told me all about you.” I said, turning around to lean back against the counter. “Ever detail.”

His eyebrow lifted and I smiled. “She’s my best friend, more than that really.”

“Your mate.” He answered, wrapping the towel around his waist. 

“Yours too. I know after I tell her, she’ll be excited.” I said, trying to convince myself more than him. I didn’t want to give either of them up. I knew that it was selfish. We were made to be together, the three of us.

My dragon had felt it when we caught his scent on her. I had not known it then. The need to claim Dom had only grown worse as we had hunted him. Now I could feel it in my soul, burning hot. 

Just as it had been with Sarah. The only thing that had kept me from it was that I knew what she would think. 

“I hope so, I missed her.” He turned away from me, heading back into the room. I watched his firm round ass as he bent over, picking his duffel bag up off the floor. I wanted to press myself against his ass, let him feel just how much I wanted him. 

I didn’t. That would scare him away. Closing my eyes, I took a shuddering breath. It was hard to not take him, claim him as he had me. 

Dom wasn’t ready for that yet, and I could wait. We had forever, now we just had to go to Sarah. 

“I missed her while she was with you.” 

“How could you let her go?” Dom asked, and I smiled. “I mean, you knew why she was going. Right?”

“I did.” 

“You would have been okay with it?” He asked, slipping on a pair of well-worn jeans. The holes in the knees showing glimpses of more colorful tattoos.

Looking away from him, I nodded. “Sarah wasn’t with me, I would have lived with it as long as I could be close to her. I didn’t think that things would ever be different. No matter how much I wanted to claim her.”

“What changed it?” He asked, digging through his bag. He pulled out a white cotton t-shirt and held it in his hands. I could feel the heat of his gaze as he watched me. Studying me like I was his prey, such a silly wolf.

“You.” I looked at him, feeding into the heat of his desire through the bond. It was already so strong, I knew it would be overwhelming when I claimed him and he claimed Sarah. That pleasure would flow through us like nothing ever had before.

“Me? How could I change things between the two of you?”

“You gave Sarah what she needed when she was away. You showed her what it was like to give up control and be taken care of.” I sat down in the chair, watching as he finished getting dressed. “You showed her what it could be like to be a submissive, and now she is.” 

“What?” He looked back at me, pulling on his shoes. 

“I collared her tonight.”

Emotions played across his face. Anger, sadness, pain, longing for our mate. He looked away, but it didn’t matter I could feel everything he was feeling through the bond. I didn’t say anything, giving him time to take in what I’d said. 

“I wanted that with her.” He looked back to me and I nodded.

“You can still have that, but you’re mine too. She’s ours if she agrees.” My phone chimed and I reached over to the nightstand, picking it up. Sarah’s smiling face flashed across my screen along with a message. 

Sarah: Worried about you, just checking in.

I sat my phone down, unsure of what to text her back. Not wanting her to worry, I knew that I couldn’t tell her via text what had just happened. 

She didn’t deserve that, she deserved so much more. I knew that both Dom and I would be able to take care of her. Pulling my shoes on, I let out a sigh as I watched Dom stand up. 

Slinging his duffel bag over his shoulder he walked to the dresser grabbing his hotel keycard and cell phone. “Let’s go get our mate.” 

“Just a minute.” I said, picking up my phone and tapping out a quick message to Sarah. 

Kane: Be home soon, baby girl.

I tucked my phone into my back pocket. Hopefully that would let her know that everything was okay. I wanted her to get some rest. Even from this distance, I could feel her guilt filtering through the bond. 

She was flustered and I wanted to get home, to ease the worry that she was feeling.
